Chapter 49: Choice
――
Time and place back a few hours ago in the small border town of Demacia.
For Mussell, tonight's task was what he was most happy to see, in addition to enjoying a sweet fruit wine made by Demacia, the girls here were far more innocent than Noxus, and after a few dance songs, Mussel had fully integrated into the place, and not only that, but he even had some urge to settle here.
So what about the task given to him by Clarence, has he completely forgotten about it? Don't worry, although Mussel is a guy who sometimes seems unreliable, he can always complete tasks in a way that others don't seem reliable.
Musel didn't have much to gain from the task that Clarence had given him tonight, and in the midst of the pleasant small talk, almost all of the Demacians revealed the same information: they were quite happy with the king's measures to reduce taxes, but they were not very interested in why the Shields had made such a decision, or it should be said that the Demacians had an almost blind trust in their king, and they supported Gavin II no matter what decision was made.
It's really troublesome...... If this is the case, they will still need to infiltrate many important institutions in Demacia to gather enough information, and there is an unwritten rule in Noxus that if the Assassins do not have enough information and must 'read' a 'novel' YBDU to buy it from Black Rose, the bounty they could have received will also be deducted as a punishment, and Mussel does not want his bounty to be deducted for this reason.
It was not early now, and most of the people in the square had returned to their homes to rest, sitting in the somewhat deserted square, Mussel humming a little bored, while waiting for Clarence.
"Yo."
After waiting for a while, a figure came from the corner of the street, Mussel turned his head to look, that person was Clarence could not be wrong, but behind him, there seemed to be the breath of another person, could it be that he was being followed? No...... According to his character, this kind of thing is simply not possible, so this person is ...... Mussel looked sideways slightly, and what he never thought was that not far behind Clarence was a beautiful girl, but for some reason, she looked a little weak, with some scars on her face, and her clothes were obviously oversized, what was this......
"Hey! It's been less than half a day since you've been here, so it's not right for you to do this, right? Mussel couldn't help but whistle, did this unsmiling guy finally get his hands on it today? No, it's not just an enlightenment, it's just a ......
"You...... Don't make jokes like that, okay? Clarence had already guessed that this guy Mussell would say this, but he could only perceive and interfere with magic, and magic communication was not yet possible for him, and in the face of Miusel's frivolous jokes, he could only lower his voice and stop it now.
"What...... What the? Does that mean...... Is this the hostage you caught? Feed...... Didn't you say that you just had to sneak in? How do you ......"
"It's not as ...... as you think" Although there is still no correct guess, but this guess is at least much more normal and reasonable than just now, while the two sides have not yet made contact, Clarence hurriedly strode in front of Mussel, lowered his voice and said quickly, "I will explain the rest of the things later, now cooperate with me first, and it will be decided!" ”
What's going on here...... Just when Mussel was still confused, Clarence had already pulled Phyllis to his side and introduced: "This is a friend who came with me, you can call him Tyrone, he doesn't have a deep friendship with Locke, and he doesn't know much about his affairs, but because of his good strength, I will pull him over." ”
Tyrone was the pseudonym used by Mussel when he was working part-time at Black Rose, and when he heard Clarence introduce himself like this, Mussel immediately understood something, he flicked his hair a little, and greeted him handsomely: "Hello beautiful young lady, have you had a good night?" ”
"Very unpleasant, thank you for your concern."
Musel is indeed handsome, and this trick will have some effect on ordinary girls, but unfortunately, Phyllis's mood is really bad tonight, and Musel's seemingly chic image has left a very bad first impression on Phyllis.
"Ahem...... Tyrone, this is Phyllis, and she and Locke once belonged to an intelligence agency in Demacia...... I can't tell you too much about the details, but all in all, we're going to be companions, you ...... Can you get along happily? ”
Clarence's concerns were not meaningless, and it was clear from the expressions of the two men that Musel regarded her as just an ordinary beautiful girl, and Phyllis only regarded him as a frivolous man, and the relationship between the two was worse than Clarence had previously thought.
"Okay, it's not early, Phyllis's identity is a little special now, let's not stand in this kind of place and say something useless, let's go back to the hotel early and rest for the night, and make other plans tomorrow."
"I have no opinion, lead the way." Phyllis was not polite, and ordered directly.
……
"What? You bumped into her while infiltrating the town halls? Ha, you're really lucky, now she's helpless, you can just ......"
"Hey, can you give me a little more normal, am I talking serious?" After a good bath, Clarence was finally able to lie down on the soft bed of the hotel, and now he was eager to find someone to analyze the existing information with him, but it seemed a pity that the person lying on the other bed was Musel.
Just now, Clarence has roughly told Mussel about the situation he encountered tonight, and while telling these things, he is also combing through this information, judging from the current situation, they don't have much information about Demacia's attitude towards the League of Legends, but they unexpectedly found that Demacia is not in a stable state now, although he promised to help Phyllis, but can he really find the information he wants? He sighed deeply, and couldn't help but hesitate a little about his previous decision.
"Well, I think it's a good idea to have her on board."
