Volume 15 The War of Kings!Chapter 37 Drawings

Cedric was restlessly circling around in the room, and when he heard the door move, his heart suddenly lifted, and the figure at the door flashed, and only after seeing the people who came in clearly did he breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "No one is following you, right?"

"I always thought you were overnervous. The blonde boy walked in and picked up an apple on the table, looked at it but didn't eat it, then put it down again, and said, "How long have you been here and haven't been out?" Do you think anyone else cares that you're a god now?"

Cedric shook his head and said, "Always be careful, be careful." ”

"Where's the thing?" the blonde boy glanced at him.

"Here it is. Cedric carefully removed a metal box from his bosom.

"Don't be so careful, you won't break it even if you fall hard. The blonde boy reached out to take it, but found that the metal box was grabbed by the other party's hand and did not let go, so he couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong again?"

Cedric stared at the blonde boy and said, "Don't forget what you promised me"

The original casual expression on the blonde boy's face faded a little, and he sneered: "Don't worry, I signed a magic contract, even if you don't care about it, I'm still very worried about my own life." ”

Cedric looked a little more relaxed, but still didn't let go, and asked, "So when can you ......?"

"In about seven days, when everything will be ready. ”

Cedric's eyes lit up and he kept repeating, "That's good, that's good...... and he slowly let go of his hand.

The blonde boy didn't look at it, and casually put the metal box into his spatial ring.

"Why? Didn't you just take it? don't you check it out?" Seeing that the things he had worked so hard to bring were casually put away, Cedric couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Aren't you afraid that Ulysses has done something to it, or that there is something wrong with it?"

The blond boy looked at him dissatisfied, and said, "Don't be so loud, I can hear you, but do you think that if the king and the strong man were to do something, he would still let people see it?" And I don't think Ulysses still has the heart to care about these things now, because he doesn't know what I need this thing for, and he doesn't know when he will use it, and you think he will waste his time on things that are not in his control at all?"

Cedric hesitated, "Maybe, it will......"

"So you're just a boring mortal so far," the blonde boy sneered, "Ulysses' most important thing now is to find a suitable body, and not to pay attention to anything else, for them, mortal rivalry is just a game when it doesn't involve him, and he won't put the cart before the horse." ”

......

A chill made Abner's blood seem to freeze suddenly, in the middle of this small carriage, he didn't have time to make any effective counterattack moves, but he was also rich in combat experience, he immediately reacted instinctively, the center of gravity of his upper body leaned forward, the staff in his hand had already opened the curtain, and at the same time, the defensive shield on the robe flashed out automatically.

This fast-activated magic cover was extremely fragile, and it collapsed at the slightest contact with the opponent's dagger, but as long as this glimmer of time was enough for Abner, he disappeared from the spot with a flash, and when he reappeared, the person was already five meters away, and before his body could fully stand still, he had already spit out a spell from his mouth.

"Frozen in Ice"

The ground within the scope of his jurisdiction, the entire carriage and the surrounding ground were all covered with a thick layer of frost, and then with a wave of his hand, two more spells were sent out one after another, and after doing all this, he stood there with a sneer and looked ahead.

Didn't kill the opponent at the first time, the thief Saya knew that something was wrong, just now she squatted in the corner of the opposite street, thanks to the fact that the streets of this place are not very open, the moment Abner got on the car, she flashed into the car with shadow shifting, I thought that this assassination was very convenient, but I didn't expect the other party's reaction to be unexpectedly fast.

This is not the underground world after all, if it were there, she should have hidden in a dark corner at the moment, and now, she can only choose the easiest way to retreat, she squatted down, did not follow out or rush out of the carriage backwards, but very old-fashioned broke the car under her feet, drilled under the belly of the car, tiptoe dexterously touched the ground, and her body rushed forward, due to the speed, her toned body was like a cheetah, and instantly showed a beautiful movement.

It was only in the next moment that she suddenly found that her body had become extremely sluggish, and a paralyzing and stiff feeling had clinged to her limbs like a spider, as if her body had suddenly become several times heavier.

This exposed the figure that originally rushed out to the sun, and was locked by several eyes at once.

The guards standing on the various heights of the roof had apparently noticed what was happening here, the bows and arrows in the hands of several archers had been opened, and they were not in a hurry to shoot the arrows in their hands, but aimed at Saya in various positions, in front of her, left and right, sealing off the space for her to escape.

Saya had no choice but to stop her body, but as soon as her feet hit the ground, the feeling of being in a deep quagmire spread to her whole body.

"Mire?"

She was shocked in her heart, this mage cast spells so fast, and the appropriateness of using spells was beyond her imagination, but at this time it was too late to sigh, she twisted hard in the air, such an action made the guards on the watchtower misjudge, thinking that she was about to dodge to the side, and several arrows whizzed and fell in that direction, but she didn't expect Saya's strong waist and abdominal muscles to drive her body to turn over on the spot like a swimming fish, and a thin cord was issued from her wrist at the same time, "snap" A soft sound hooked the windowsill of the house across the street.

Next, she was able to jump into the house with a little bit of force, and then tear open the teleportation scroll to get rid of the people and get out of here safely.

But before she could make this movement, a huge wind hammer slammed into her head as if she knew her intentions for a long time, and she fainted without saying a word, and fell down with a pop, so that half of her body sank into the mire of the ground, and then was firmly frozen on the ground in the spreading frost.

Abner looked past his phone with a gloomy face, he glanced at the assassin on the ground, and said coldly, "Black Elf?" He never expected that the black elf would come to assassinate him, is it because he helped the surface elves?

A tall swordsman walked over, bowed solemnly to Abner, and said a little unnaturally: "Brother Abner, I am the garrison officer in charge of this area, and if something like this happened in front of the temporary residence of Vice President Landiston, I think the Vice President will definitely find out......

He didn't say anything about what he said, but Abner nodded understandingly, I'll go see Brother Lantiston, this matter has nothing to do with you, the other party is a clever shadow assassin, even I, I was almost killed by her.

The swordsman hurriedly saluted gratefully, if Abner wanted to hold all the guards here accountable at the moment, then he would have to be kicked to the bottom to be a sentry again, but fortunately the other party did not hold on, which made him greatly relieved.

Abner took two steps, but frowned and patted his head, the battle just now actually cleared his mind a lot, like a few more breaths of fresh air, the original groggy state also seemed to be weakened a little, until this time, he found that his body seemed to be a little wrong.

It's strange.,It's okay to say if it's only an occasional state.,But there must be something wrong with it so often.,Is it a curse or a mental attack?

As soon as he thought of this question, he immediately became vigilant.

In this case, whether it is or not, it is always better to be careful, and he suddenly thought of a solution, so he can go there and try it......

"What's wrong, Lord Abner?" Seeing Abner stop suddenly, the swordsman turned around in surprise.

"I'm a little bit unwell and I think I need to go and take a break. ”

"Are you all right?" the swordsman looked at Abner with some nervousness, if the monk had been injured in any way, then he would not be able to wash away his guilt.

"It's nothing, maybe I haven't had a good rest since I came back from the mission. Abner turned and walked towards the entrance of the street, and without looking back, he said, "Tell Bishop Lantiston, and I will explain everything to him personally." ”

......

"Brother Abner was assassinated at the door, and who did it?"

After getting the news, Luo Lan immediately called the swordsman in charge of guarding to inquire.

"It's a black elf, my lord. The swordsman bowed his head in reply.

"Where is she now?"

"We've taken her to the courtroom. ”

Luo Lan nodded and said, "Okay, come and tell me as soon as you have the result, you go down first." ”

"Yes, sir. The swordsman let go of his heart hanging in the air, he didn't expect Vice President Landiston to not delve into this matter, and vaguely felt that there seemed to be something hidden in this, but this was not something he should ask. Honestly retreated.

"What do you think of this, Nisdega. ”

Luo Lan picked up a wine glass and tasted it slowly, and a strong burning sensation and refreshing fragrance poured from his mouth all the way to his chest and abdomen.

The food and drink here at the headquarters of the Monks is not inferior to the luxury of the southern aristocracy, but it is even less ostentatious, for example, this cup of fragrant tongue wine, most of the raw materials are actually the blood of the northern tundra lizard, it is born with the characteristics of wine and a strong aroma, but this creature is extremely special, it can only be dug up at a depth of dozens of meters underground, and because the individual is not large, it takes almost a dozen or so to make up this cup of wine, which is worth no less than hundreds of gold coins.

Nisdegar leaned down and said, "According to ordinary people, since Brother Abner helped the surface elves to connect with you, it will inevitably affect the original alliance plan of the black elves, and since Brother Abner is the key person who connects you and the surface elves, it makes sense for the black elves to send someone to assassinate Abner." ”

Luo Lan's expression remained unchanged and said, "Oh, do you have a different opinion when you say this?"

Stepgar smiled and said, "This is actually a clumsy trick, and I've seen this method many times. ”

Luo Lan gently shook the wine glass in his hand, looked at the bright red and slightly rippled, and said, "What is your reason?"

"The handshake between the two forces, that must be a combination of interests first, if they think that a person who is not very important can control the situation, then they are too naΓ―ve, for the black elves who have been in the cruel disputes of the underground world all year round, they should know these truths very well. Nisdega said slowly, his voice not loud or soft, but every word had a convincing power, "Since they are ready to negotiate terms at the negotiating table, they are fully prepared to compete in this area, and at this time, wouldn't it be superfluous to use this kind of assassination method?

"The most important thing is that the matter of the alliance between the surface elves and Bethlehem has not really been determined, even if the black elves really want to do it, they will not choose the door of your mansion, aren't they afraid of provoking you?"

"The timing is also very coincidental, when Abner and Advisor Serome had just come out of the door of the mansion, and not long after Advisor Cerome left, Brother Abner was assassinated, which was also a little too tight. ”

After Nice Dega's remarks, there are many flaws and unreasonableness in this matter, and it also exudes a strange smell.

Luo Lan's fingers flicked lightly on the wine glass, and said, "If it wasn't arranged by the black elves, who do you think made the small move?"

Nisdega said in a deep voice: "According to the normal situation, then whoever benefits is who does it, and it can cause a conflict between you and the black elves, and what they are most happy about is probably arranged by the surface elves, and it seems that it is very likely that they arranged it......"

"You have some truth, but there is another point that is oversight. Luo Lan smiled and put down his wine glass.

"Oh, please. Nisdegas wasn't a compliment this time, he really didn't think of any other negligence.

"Your judgment is entirely based on Bethlehem's alliance with the Black Elves and the Elves of the Earth, but don't forget, things in the world are much more complicated, and various reasons may trigger this incident, such as ......" Luo Lan smiled and said, "What if this was just a simple assassination, or rather, the purpose of the assassins was just to kill Brother Abner." ”

Nisdegar thought about it, it was indeed possible in this regard, but because Bethlehem's alliance had not yet been chosen, and the three forces were all using their own means, even the slightest thing that happened here would naturally be associated with this aspect, let alone assassination.

Luo Lan's fingers tapped on the armrest, and said, "So think about it from another angle, the mastermind of this assassination may not have this intention, and use this incident as a cover to cover up its true purpose, especially in the selection of assassins from the underground world, it is easier to mislead ordinary people's thinking." ”

"Your Excellency is right" Nisdega's body trembled, and he immediately reacted, and looked up and said, "This is also very likely"

......

It is a church-like building, and although it is also covered with a cross, it is not the gold of the Holy See, but black.

Black cross.

At first glance, one only thinks of death.

But Abner still came here, because he knew that there was a retired cardinal of the Holy See, and instead of going to Shrove like other older clergy, he opened a black papal here, where if you can pay a sufficient price, the bishop can help you remove all mental negativity.

Strangely, although he was using the name of the Holy See, none of the fanatical believers came here to disturb him at that time, and even the Holy See center turned a blind eye to him.

When Abner arrived, he waited until late in the evening, when he saw an old man in a black robe, dirty, and sleepy-looking, walking slowly.

He just glanced at Abner casually, then picked up the cup on the table and took a few big sips, then he touched his mouth with his sleeve, stretched out his hand at Abner, and said, "Bring it." ”

"What?" Abner was stunned.

The old man said impatiently: "Money, don't you even know the basic rules? I always pay first, by the way, I only accept gold coins, and you can keep the magic crystal for your own use." ”

Abner smiled wryly and took out a bag of gold coins and placed it on the table.

With a wave of his hand, the old man put the gold coin into his spatial ring, and walked over slowly, he first rolled Abner's eyelids, then pinched the latter's head a few times, and then muttered something without knowing what to do, and before Abner could react, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, the problem is solved, you can go." ”

"What, so you can go?" Abner looked at the other man suspiciously, neither casting spells nor chanting spells, nor feeling anything unusual, and told himself that the problem was solved?

If he hadn't seen this old man before, he would definitely have thought that the person standing in front of him at this time was a liar.

"What, do I still want to keep you down for dinner?" the old man rolled his eyes and said, "Your problem is not big, it's just that you have been hit by a spiritual spell, and the caster's methods are rough and inferior, and they are simply unsightly." Speaking of this, he sneered, pursed his lips disdainfully, and said, "If that person is standing here, I must knock his head open to see if it is stuffed with straw and horse manure." ”

Abner felt it carefully, and indeed, the groggy feeling that had been wrapping around his body and seemed to interfere with his normal thinking suddenly disappeared, and his body was now more relaxed than ever, and the details that had been overlooked before flashed through his mind one by one.

He bowed very solemnly and said, "Thank you for your help." ”

The old man didn't speak, he squinted his eyes and watched Abner walk out of the church, a gleam flashed in the depths of his eyes, his expression at this time did not show the drowsy appearance just now, but revealed an indescribable momentum.

He said to himself, "Interesting, this guy Adriman still left such a drawing? I warned him not to make such a show, and he was slaughtered, but if this drawing falls into the hands of the elves, it will be a bit troublesome, and it seems that he will have to go out to meet a few old friends." ”
