44 Backtracking
Ryan was some distance away from Fontaine and Livingston, and he clearly sensed that there was something wrong between the two, and the atmosphere was not tense, but it was-for-tat.
There, Livingston took a half-step back and bowed to Fontaine.
"Sir, Marty hasn't stepped through that door yet, and she knows her current situation, isn't it too reluctant for her to go back to such a spell, I hope Sir can think about it, or, there is another way?"
Ryan could hear Livingston.
This spell seemed to be hurting Marty, and as the captain of the team and their instructor, Livingston had a different opinion, apparently trying to persuade Fontaine to abandon his current plan.
He hoped that Lord Fontaine would accept Livingston's advice.
However, it seems that Fontaine has made up his mind and will not change because of Livingston's opposition.
Fontaine was still staring at Livingston, the determination in his eyes not diminishing in the slightest, and he slowly exhaled a long breath, his head slightly raised back, and his chin held high, showing the arrogance and stubbornness of a gentleman to the fullest.
"Livin, I know in my heart, I will be responsible if something happens!"
Livingston shrugged his shoulders and took two steps back again.
"Since Sir knows what to expect, it is not good to say much about his humble position, but I would like to remind Sir of this...... Marti, Mr. Albert is very optimistic, and she knows her background, don't go wrong!"
"Hmm!"
Fontaine snorted coldly and stopped talking.
He had anger in his heart, but he wouldn't let his emotions control him.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that this spell requires a special talent, and Marty's talent just fits with it, Fontaine wouldn't have done it, after all, if things are wrong, if Marty is hurt in any way, his days in Reims City may not last long, you know, although he is the director of Iris, although he is a three-star inspector, his strength is also ranked first among the transcendents in Reims City, after all, he is just an outsider.
In Iris, the transcendent is faintly divided into two factions.
One is the outsiders led by him, and the other is the locals led by the former director Albert, compared to the locals, the number of outsiders is too small, and the strength is far inferior, and these outsiders do not all obey his orders, and some of them have different dreams with him.
Albert has been the director of iris for more than thirty years, and most of the local transcendents have been trained by him, and yes, when he was not in charge, he did what Livingston does now.
Livingston is the transcendent he has cultivated.
If Albert hadn't failed to advance, although he was lucky enough to save his life, he had lost most of his strength, and he would not have been able to transfer to Reims City.
You know, when Albert was healthy, the iris in Lance City was so run by him that he didn't even want to insert a needle, although he also obeyed the orders of the headquarters, in fact, it was more like an independent power group.
This, in turn, is related to the struggle between the north and the south of the empire.
Even the grand dukes of the south will be looked down upon by the nobles of the imperial capital, and even a small viscount of the imperial capital, at the salon, will openly despise those southern grand dukes and call them hillbillies from other provinces.
Black hair and black eyes are nothing more than a sign of untouchability.
Fontaine was dismissive of any of this, and he came here to be the director of Iris, hoping only to enforce the ban.
At first, he also encountered many setbacks, and later, Albert publicly stood up for him, so that he gradually gained the power to speak, but all this is like a castle built on the sand, without a foundation, not solid.
Livingston was right.
If Marty had any trouble, Albert would definitely turn against him.
Marty does have great talents, however, this is not the main reason why Albert attaches importance to him, Fontaine probably received some news, that is, Marty's transcendent parents are Albert's companions, they have always fought side by side, and they have saved Albert several times, and Marty's parents were killed in battle in front of Albert, and he has a responsibility for Malty.
For Albert, Marty is a rebellious being.
If it weren't for the fact that this matter was very important to Fang Dan, he wouldn't have done it.
Time is of the essence.
Twenty-four hours after death, the backtracking spell loses its effectiveness.
At that time, even if the Yin Soul did not dissipate, even if it became a groundbound spirit, it would have no memory, and would only be driven by instinct to wander in place, washed away by time, and gradually disappear.
Therefore, it is too late to transfer other talents to Reims City.
Now, he can only take risks.
Why is Owen de Jobua in Reims?
What is the purpose?
The truth is a matter of life and death for him.
The story behind these is naturally unclear to Ryan, and he is now faced with a choice.
Can backtracking spells really recreate the scene of a crime?
If it's really as powerful as Livingston says, then he must be exposed.
From a legal point of view, there seems to be no problem with self-defense, even if you go to court, the judge will not convict you, but how can you explain it?
Swordsmanship is easy to explain, he usually has a lot of practice, and he has a talent for fighting, so he can kill those guys, however, he must explain how to kill the transcendent black-robed man, it is definitely a confrontation of extraordinary power.
Lie?
In a world with extraordinary powers, there must be a lie detector spell, right?
Lying should be pointless.
If there is no accident, the golden book will most likely be exposed to everyone, its origin, its functions, all of these will be excavated by others, and its true origin may also be ......
Escape?
Ryan blinked, adjusting his breathing.
On the other side, Marti had already walked to Fontaine's side, standing in the middle of the circle, next to the body of the black-robed man Owen, the hood of the black robe was still on her head, she bowed her head, silent.
Livingston has come back.
"Captain......
Ryan shouted softly.
"What's the matter?"
Ryan said with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Captain, I want to go ......"
As he spoke, he clamped his legs and trembled.
"Urgency?"
Livingston glanced at Ryan, turned around and looked around, his gaze returning to Ryan's face, and he grinned.
"This is the first time you've seen so many corpses, right?"
After a pause, he suppressed his laughter.
"Forget that you're new and it's normal not to fit in...... However, you have to get used to it, in the future, there will be a lot of more terrible and tragic scenes than in front of you, and you can't adapt to it!"
Livingston patted Ryan on the shoulder.
"Go ahead, don't go far!"
