Chapter 188: The Man in the Black Robe
Delany was very strict-mouthed, and when he talked about magic with Master Qiu En, he pretended to know nothing about natural spells, and only told him about his old profession of water element magic, and even Master Qiu En's intentionally or unintentionally wanted to lean on natural spells did not let him show his feet at all, only said some things that were in common with other magic, and some special techniques of natural spells were completely ignorant, as if he was an ordinary mage who had never been exposed to natural magic.
This made Master Qiu a little puzzled, Roy's description of Draney was a prophecy in his opinion, although Roy's previous predictions were accurate, but prophecy is not everything, maybe Delany is not what Roy said.
At the end of the conversation, Master Qiu En didn't try anything, so he had to point to Roy and say: "To tell you the truth, we have come here from the Kingdom of Eluses this time to bring some of the country's wishes for Kasagam and want to convey them to His Majesty the King, but now His Majesty has placed us in the pavilion and has not summoned us, so I have no choice but to find you, I want to find out a trace of the King's thoughts, and please don't hide it." ”
In order to show sincerity, Master Qiu En said a lot of dry things during this exchange, some of which were some of the tricks he had developed for casting spells that other mages did not know, so that Delany could easily ask after he had gained something.
Delany looked at Roy, then at Master Qiu En, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "When I entered the palace yesterday, I saw His Majesty the King, who was busy with some important government affairs, and did not want to summon you, you should know that this year, the heir of the Sea King Pope will be elected, this matter requires the strong cooperation of the state, His Majesty the King can't spare much time for the time being, it seems that it will take a few days, but since they are all royal mages, I will try my best to say some good things for you in front of the king, so that His Majesty may summon you earlier. The tone was sincere, as if he was a very enthusiastic mage.
When Master Qiu heard this, he hurriedly thanked Drany for a while, and the starry night goblin-shaped tower spirit revealed his body in the tower, floating up with a few plates of snacks and a pot of tea, putting the snacks on the table and refilling two glasses of water for Master Qiu and Roy, and slowly disappeared with the things, Master Qiu and Draney chatted a few more words, then got up and said goodbye, took Roy out of the mansion, and drove towards the pavilion in a carriage.
Inside the carriage, Master Qiu En looked at Roy and said with some confusion, "Are you sure it's this person?" Today, it doesn't seem to be anything wrong. ”
Roy shook his head and said, "This kind of thing is easy to pretend, I believe that what is shown in that revelation, maybe he can hide it today, but after all, he will reveal his true face inside." ”
Master Qiu sighed and lowered his head, as if recalling the details of his meeting with Drany, wanting to provide some support for what Roy had said.
After seeing off Roy and Master Qiu, Drany returned to the magic tower again, sitting on the soft sofa, the starry night goblin tower poured a glass of black wine for Drane, Delany picked up the glass, shook it in front of him, looked up at the roof and was stunned, as if thinking about something.
A man's figure silently appeared above the staircase connecting to the second floor, watching Dragney's direction and walk down.
This is a man wearing a black cloak with a wide hat, the huge hooded cloak covers his body, and the slightest trace of his body is not exposed from the cloak, a face is covered by the big hat of the cloak, and there seems to be some magic on it, so that people can't see the face under the hat clearly, only a pair of golden eyes are revealed, these golden eyes are so bright, it seems to be flashing with golden light, if you meet this gaze, it seems that you can see a large amount of yellow sand surging back and forth in the pupils, which is very strange.
The man walked up to Drani's side and smiled at Drany who was sitting upside down, Dragney raised his head and looked at the black-robed man in front of him, and immediately said, "What else do you want to ask for!" The task of entertaining these arrivals from Eluceins is complete, and our trade needs to continue! ”
The black-robed man smiled easily, stretched out his right hand with black gloves and waved it at Dragney a few times, and said, "Don't worry, my friend! I'll give you what you want, but you still need to help me do something, and when this thing is done, what you want will be delivered to you immediately, without hesitation! The black-robed man's voice was extremely strange, with a hint of metallic sharpness, no tone, all the words were in the same tone, as if he were a robot.
Delany sat up straight when he heard the black-robed man's words, and said to the black-robed man, "Is this true? Is this really the last thing? His eyes narrowed, and he watched the black-robed man stare up and down carefully.
The black-robed man waved his hand, still in that robot-like voice, "When did I ever lie to you?" I only said that the previous thing was completed, and I didn't say how many things I had to do, but this is the last thing, after I finish it, I will give you that thing, and then you go yours, and I will go mine, and the two don't owe each other. ”
Delany stared at the black-robed man's golden eyes for a long time before he said in a calm voice, "Good! I promise you, what else do you need me to do for you? ”
The black-robed man burst into laughter, and seemed to agree with Drani's reaction, and said, "It doesn't need to be too much trouble, it should be an extremely easy thing for you, I hope that when this group of Eluseins' envoys meets the king, I will send the old king who should have died long ago to the place where he should go, and claim that it was the envoys who killed the old king, and let the soldiers capture this group of Elusines envoys." ”
Drani's eyebrows instantly twisted, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse the black-robed man's request, he really couldn't imagine why this black-robed man would give such a mission, assassinating King Lonchbaton XIII and violating the oath he made in front of the goddess Gaia when he entered the Royal Mage Corps, not to mention that the king has always trusted him well and even entrusted him with important responsibilities over the years, Delany is somewhat grateful to King Lonchbaton XIII.
Seeing that Dragney's face in front of him was very ugly, and the black-robed man chuckled lightly, and his tone was as if floating from the sky. "Think of your frozen son......"
Delany's whole body shuddered, his tangled eyebrows slowly unfolded, and there was a hint of madness in his eyes that was suppressed by will.
