Chapter Twenty-Nine: Successive Appearances (Three Watches)
Distant black floating city "Palamedes".
John Goth sat in the living room of his mage tower, playing the piano intently.
This piano, which was improved by the Lord of the Black himself, has 85 keys, and its vocal range is wider than that of the traditional 60-button piano in the mainland, and the sound effect is more stable and loud. Goth moved his old piano, a gift from Franbel, who loved him dearly, to his house in the pure white city of Thales, and the Lord of Black gladly presented him with a new one.
If the girl had been more attentive in this tower, she would have realized that this piano lacked the three lowest keys compared to the most common eighty-eight-key piano on earth. Like technological products, musical instruments are constantly evolving.
Goths often found time to play the piano. To outsiders, he insisted that it was due to the influence of Franbel, who often sang with him, but he himself knew that he was only playing to create some space for himself to meditate.
Today, Fran is not by his side, and Goth plays more casually, unaware of the occasional misson.
Suddenly.
In the air in front of Goth, scarlet writing appeared out of thin air, blocking himself and the score.
“……”
The piano emits a heavy trill. Goth stopped playing.
John Gort's face was displeased. It was one of many methods of communication between him and the other apostles. The words were only visible to him, and even if he turned his head, they would move with his gaze.
Fran doesn't use this boring method to communicate with herself. His beloved elder brother, First Apostle, Peter Cliff "The Day of the End", also did not like this method of communication. The second apostle, the second senior sister Belvier, and the seventh apostle, and the little brother Simon are all in the floating city, and they can come to the door in person, and there is no need to use spells to contact them. Goth was skeptical that the Fifth Apostle, the battle mage Alice Tait, would use such a cumbersome spell. Therefore, there is only one person who will use this means to contact himself.
"Lévi ......" Goth's eyes appeared in front of the fourth apostle, "Pale Moon" Levi Fiodorovich's slender face.
"Levi, my cunning friend," Goth stared at Lévy's communication with a gloomy face, "I warned you not to trouble her. What exactly do you want to do? ”
------------------
"New guests are coming?" The girl who was talking to Mr. Mason looked at the main entrance of the banquet hall.
For a moment, the girl wished she had seen it wrong. But she then knew she had to greet the uninvited guest.
"'Pale Moon' Levi Fiodorovich...... It turned out to be him? ”
The girl met Lévi Fiodorovich before heading to the Black Floating City. At that time, he was riding a huge bone dragon.
Among the important characters in her pen, this person is the one she least wants to be related to.
……
Levi Fiodorovich.
Title: "Pale Moon".
One of the oldest mage families in the Erios Legion, the young patriarch of the Fiodorovich family; A disciple of Mr. Palamedes, Lord of the Black. Skilled in necromancy.
The only dream: eternal life.
He and John Goeth had a lot of common interests, and their positions were close to those of John Goethe. However, his habit of calculating all the time made him extremely dangerous.
……
[We're in trouble.] The girl secretly informs Xiaowei.
[He's Lévi Fiodorovich, I know him, he's a very famous mage lord," Vivi replied, "But as far as I know, he's a very decent person. 】
[Have you forgotten?] The night we were taken to the Black Floating City, he was the one who rode the bone dragon. The girl calmly reminded.
【uh......】Xiaowei is speechless.
If he really came with good intentions," the girl sneered, glancing at the person standing behind Levy, who wouldn't have traveled with him. 】
[Is there anything special about that girl?] 】
The young woman standing behind Lévy was not tall, wearing a hot dark leather coat, deerskin boots, short dark red hair, and an extremely arrogant expression.
It's just that the overly petite size and young face make people think that it is a child making trouble......
[She's ......]
Before the girl could finish her introduction, Levi Fiodorovich had already stepped forward. With a fluttering white robe and a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to the girl: "Hello, Miss Victoria. I'll introduce myself, I'm Lévi Fiodorovich. I think we've met before. ”
The girl barely managed to squeeze out a smile: "Hello, Mr. Fiodorovich. She walked over and shook Levy's hand.
There was a whispering sound all around. Although few of the guests present had ever seen Lévy, Lévi Fiodorovich was all too famous. Even ignoring his spell-casting talent, he himself owns a vast land the size of a dukedom. First the two highnesses, and then the duke-level figure of this foreign country......
"This ......," Levi looked at the red-haired girl and hesitated for a second, "Sort of me as my bodyguard." You can call her Alice. ”
Alice had a "when did I become your bodyguard" expression. She clasped her hands to her chest angrily and turned her head, but she didn't shake hands with the girl.
Alice ...... Who did you just say she was? Xiaowei in the world of consciousness asked.
[The Fifth Black Apostle.] The girl replied succinctly, "The only war mage under the command of Mr. Palamedus. 】
[How is it possible——]
[It's true, Vicky. Before us, there are two "apostles". 】
As a character of her own creation, the girl knows Alice's identity very well. Her features are so obvious that when she appears with Levi, the girl instantly recognizes who she is.
[Alexei, the one-eyed leader last time, was like an ant compared to her. The girl said, "If it weren't for Linna being on our side, we would have been able to prepare to escape." 】
[Even if it is the two Black ......Apostles] Xiaowei said, "It is impossible to do it to us in public. 】
[They could have destroyed the entire castle and the town of Ansel, and left before Duke Hywell arrived. 】
[Won't it?]
[Not all 'apostles' were good men like Mr. Goth.] 】
To the girl's reassurance, Linna was already standing behind her.
Wait, what about Victor?
"Your Highness." Levi bowed slightly to Linna.
"Levi," Lyna had seen Levi for a long time, and she had long been dissatisfied with Goth's gloomy friend, "what are you doing here?" ”
"I'm only here to congratulate Miss Victoria on her birthday," Lévy smiled, "and nothing else. ”
"I hope you really 'don't have anything else to do.'" Lin Na snorted.
"I have also brought you a precious gift," Lévi said to the girl, "can you borrow a step to speak?" He gestured to a table in the far corner.
You're welcome...... The girl thought to herself.
"All right, Mr. Fiodorovich." The girl said, walking toward Lévy's point.
"Wait—"
Lin Na just wanted to stop it, but the girl's voice suddenly exploded in her head: "Leave me alone." This is our territory. Help me keep an eye on the other guy. These words were instantly switched by the girl to Xiaowei and transmitted to the two.
"Hmm." Lin Na reluctantly retreated to her original position. Her eyes were fixed on Alice, and their eyes almost collided with sparks in the air.
"Please, Mr. Fedorovich."
The girl and Levi sat down at the table. Levi was originally a half-elf, but Levi has been hiding his half-elf characteristics in public since he was a child, and it is the same at this moment. Today, Lévy looks no different from a normal human, but naturally has a transcendent and mysterious temperament.
