Chapter 153: Abduction and Research
In Merily's alchemy workshop, Sephes, a male-clad deacon whose gender is enigmatic, is receiving a guest.
"Is Miss Melily here? I have something to look for her. A brown-haired teenager carrying a cage covered in a black cloth said to Sephes.
"Miss Melily is researching, can you tell me something?" Sephes replied calmly.
"This ......" The brown-haired boy hesitated for a moment, placing the cage in his hand on the table, and pulled open the black cloth, revealing the creatures held inside.
In a cage that glows with magical light, a Mona lies inside like a dead fish.
Sephes looked at the cage in front of him and frowned slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be the kind of cage used to hold goblins?" ”
As a half-elf, Sephes was disgusted by the cage used to hold elves, though he didn't know what the creatures in the cage were.
Hearing the half-elf butler's words, the brown-haired boy sighed: "You misunderstood, I'm not a slave trader, and it's not a goblin locked up here, but a creature named Mona. ”
"If there's a goblin in there, I'll be a guard by now."
As a city dominated by half-elves, Izeta has a good relationship with the forest elves, so it is illegal to capture the elves as slaves. But the strange rabbit-looking creature in front of you is clearly not on the list of "illegal slave trade".
"This creature called Mona is very special, they have the ability to control monsters."
"Controlling monsters?" Sephes had a not-so-good look on his face, "Wait." Could this be the rabbit who can control monsters that has been making a fuss lately? ”
"Yes, this is the rabbit who now controls the monsters of the north."
Sephes couldn't help frowning, and looked at the young man in front of him with suspicious eyes.
Just as Sephes was about to say something, the bell on the door rang softly. Green walked in from the outside.
As soon as he entered the door, Green saw the cage on the table and Mona in the cage.
"Mona! ~" Mona, who was in a cage, jumped up excitedly, grabbed the cage, and screamed.
"Shut up! Be quiet! Green gave Mona the order.
"Mona~" Mona hurriedly covered her mouth and looked at Green pitifully.
A hint of discoloration flashed in Sephes's eyes, and he couldn't help but glance at Mona on the table, and then at Green who walked in: "What are you doing here?" ”
"I've got something ......" Green glanced at Mona on the table, looked at the brown-haired boy on the side, and felt that he was a little familiar, "Boy, have we met somewhere?" ”
"No, you recognized the wrong person." The brown-haired boy hurriedly shook his head.
"We've seen each other." Green stared at the young man in front of him, "I don't dare to admit it, is it because I did something wrong?" ”
Hearing Green's words, the brown-haired boy finally showed a wry smile: "Hello, Lord Green. I'm Harry, and I used to be an advisor in Eagle's Nest, and we met in Eagle's Nest. ”
Hearing the brown-haired boy's words, Green finally remembered who the other party was,
"Oh, you're the scholar in Eagle's Nest who stole the body of Viscount Aoriel's daughter?" Green thought for a moment, "Or is the Viscount's daughter really not dead?" Just cheated to death and eloped with you? ”
Maester Harry smiled wryly, "You...... Probably not the same as the one who came to arrest us, right? ”
"Although I have a good relationship with Viscount Ioriel, this is his family's private matter, and it is not convenient for me to interfere." Green smiled and said, "You just treat me as an ordinary onlooker." ”
"I'm relieved to hear you say that." Maester Harry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I can keep it a secret for you, but I hope you can answer some of my questions."
"Please."
"What's the matter with this Mona?"
Hearing Green's words, Master Harry was stunned for a moment, and looked at Green strangely: "You know this...... Oh, sorry, I forgot who you are. It's possible that you know about this creature. ”
Greene: "Why did you go out of your way to catch Mona on the way to elope?" ”
Master Harry hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Sephes next to him.
Seyphes looked at Maester Harry curiously, and seemed intrigued.
After hesitating for a while, the brown-haired young man finally decided to state the reason for his trip: "Have you ever wondered if this creature can control monsters, can humans also master this ability?" ”
Sephes's eyes lit up: "You mean? ”
"Yes, if humans can also master this ability, then the relationship between humans and monsters will be completely changed!"
Sephes couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "I'll go to find Miss, please wait!" ”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Green was unmoved: "Very interesting idea. Green glanced at the departing butler, turned to Master Harry, and said, "But you still haven't answered my question. Why did you go out of your way to catch Mona when you were on the run? Who sent you? What is your purpose? ”
Hearing Green's words, Master Harry sighed: "The fact that Amis is not dead has been known to the Viscount, and now Amis's brother Herram is searching for Amis everywhere. Due to the connection between the bloodlines, Heram can locate Amis through some prophecy spells, and if we go on, we will be caught sooner or later. So...... I'm going to do enough credit before I'm captured to get the Viscount to acknowledge my relationship with Amethe. ”
"I see. Also very thoughtful. Green looked at Master Harry suspiciously, "But Mona has already signed a peace treaty with the Eagle's Nest Lord, and if you do this, once exposed, it will only cause a conflict between the Mona Leader and the Eagle's Nest Lord, right?" ”
Master Harry was stunned for a moment, and his face showed some surprise: "Peace treaty? What peace treaty? ”
"You don't know?" Green stared at Master Harry in front of him, frowning slightly, "How did you know that Mona was able to control monsters?" ”
"The monsters in the north are abnormal, and a group of creatures that can control monsters have appeared, this matter is not a secret among mercenaries, just ask a little about it. But a peace treaty or anything has never been heard of. ”
"I see." Green smashed his mouth, "Cunning politician." ”
The peace treaty was binding on the nobles, but it did not seem to be binding on the ordinary freemen below. In other words, the nobles would not send scouts in a big way, but it was still possible to secretly send spies and scouts to conduct certain investigations. It's no wonder that after signing the contract, there are still some unidentified guys who have infiltrated the sphere of influence in Miracle Valley.
It is necessary to strengthen the protection of the camp again.
Green thought for a moment and said to Maester Harry, "Bad news and good news for you. ”
Maester Harry: "Please." ”
"The bad news: I have a pact with Mona, and I'm here to find this kidnapped Mona."
Maester Harry's expression froze slightly.
Green admired Master Harry's expression for a moment, "The good news is: I know how to gain the ability to control monsters!" ”
