Volume 2: The Detective Assistant Chapter 24: Ghost in the Snow
Sherlock raised his hand and gently smoothed the folds of his sleeves, and his expression became even colder, as indestructible as ice with a tingling indifference, as if he didn't care if the other party would really do this, he was unlucky that the other party would not escape death, you must know that the contract between the two of them has not yet expired, and the other party wants him to die, he must see Carlos die a hundred times more painfully than him.
"If you are not afraid that the enemy country will become more and more arrogant because of the internal strife between us, you might as well give it a try, but the grasshoppers on our line, you can't live if I die, if you don't believe it, we'll see."
After speaking, he turned around and left the Emperor's Mansion in the midst of everyone's shock.
Bartlett was almost stunned to see the other party's disappearing figure, obviously he was just an earl, but he dared to threaten the emperor god in public, no, he was not just an earl at all, his status and power in the entire Atlante Magic City in England were clearly two levels higher than the emperor god.
The emperor's right hand tightened, and suddenly swept all the documents on the table to the ground, and the documents fell to the ground flutteringly, stained with dust all over the ground, and everyone was taken aback.
Carlos only felt that it was better for him to be the emperor god, and he had been controlled by the other party all the time, and even the high-ranking and powerful person was openly and secretly protecting the two of them.
In fact, if it weren't for the great achievements of the two of them in the past few years, how could Her Majesty the Queen value the two of them so much.
In the Ford Heslett Mansion, Yuna heard that Sherlock would be back today, so she sat in the pavilion in the garden early in the morning and waited, when she saw a handsome young man in a white uniform and a face that was almost upside down, she couldn't help but get out of her chair with excitement! jumped up and ran towards each other,
She said "jump" because she was so happy right now, not only because Ian was back, but also because Sherlock was back.
Sherlock felt that a girl was really unladylike, but the other party hadn't been like this for a day or two.
At this moment, a burst of fireballs shot directly at Sherlock Eight from all directions, and the fireball turned out to be a rain of fire as soon as it arrived at Sherlock, Yuna didn't expect that there would be an enemy attack at this time, but found that the rain of fire was wrapped in countless water balls, and then the water balls froze instantly, and then a purple-blue thunderbolt appeared in the sky, and the ice balls were entangled in a huge magnetic field line, and suddenly burst one after another.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at Ian and Sherlock, but her hands were clenched into fists within the wide ruffle sleeves, this Fred is such a waste, he created two good opportunities to make a move, but he was lost, she was wishing that these two would disappear completely.
However, the attack did not stop, a sharp arrow shot straight from the sky in the distance, the person who shot the arrow must have used great strength, and it was fierce, the direction was Edwina, just when everyone present had not reacted, Sherlock pushed Edwina at this critical moment, she was pushed and planted into the arms of the black gentleman, the sharp arrow suddenly penetrated Sherlock's body in an instant, and the blood splashed up at once, and then fell forward to the ground, and the blood spread rapidly.
Everyone except Yuna was shocked and all gathered around, Yuna saw that the assassination was finally half successful, not to mention how happy she was, but she looked very worried on her face, and the ecstasy in her heart could not be concealed on her face no matter what.
Ian suddenly glanced back at Yuna, always feeling that this series of attacks seemed to be related to the other party.
Anna frowned slightly, not only Ian felt so, in addition to these two awakened magicians, there were more than a thousand remaining fire magicians of the Harrison race, and the members of the White Lotus Sect who had already lost thirty races naturally wanted to find a chance to take revenge, and what does Yuna have to do with these people, what can magicians have to do with the human race, it is just to sacrifice their dignity and work for others, and they think that they have manipulated others, which is simply ridiculous.
However, Sherlock knew that this unbridgeable relationship between races, why did he take each other in, was it just because of obligation?
Wait, in a world like this that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, the weak will eventually be eradicated.
At this moment, a strange purple-blue cloud penetrated through the speed of light like a sharp arrow and shot straight into the ground, and the cloud was immediately split, as if it had become a six-pointed star magic array, and instantly burst out with a dazzling dark purple light.
Yuna didn't expect this to happen at this time, and before she could react, a purple-blue bullet grazed her hair and blew up the high wall behind her, and Sherlock, who should have been seriously injured and unconscious, was holding a black pistol in his hand, and the muzzle smoke was not dispersed, and the shot was obviously fired by him.
"A traitor who has lost his dignity, since you are looking for death yourself, then you can only-"
The night was like a great abyss, and the dawn of the day was swallowed in an instant, and there was a thunder in the distant sky, and in an instant, thunder and lightning were combined, and then large rains fell from the sky.
Although he didn't know what great use Yuna had for those people for the time being, he just dared to conclude that this betrayer was her, Yuna herself belonged to the human race, but was taken in by the same magician race Clifford family, but there was no way that humans with noble magician blood naturally couldn't stay here for a long time, and once Britain caused a war, humans would be forcibly expelled from here. Yuna's desire to stay here is nothing more than reluctance to give her unexpected benefits from the Clifford family, and now she has been kicked out because of her blood, and she is staying in the Ford Heslett family under the guise of Duke Clifford.
Seeing that this place will not be very safe, so she will not want to stay here, it is very likely that she has taken refuge in the enemy country after he Ford Heslett was taken captive by the ghost clan, but he is not sure whether his analysis is right now, but as long as it is a human being, it will want to find a backing to protect itself forever, human beings are human beings, and this kind of foreign behavior is really skillful.
Yuna's expression showed a hint of panic: "What do you mean?" ”
Sherlock's eyes were extremely fierce and ruthless: "You are all fools when we are British people, since the Duke of Clifford has taken you in, as long as you have the blood of a noble magician in your body, as long as you have the possibility of becoming a magician, he will not give up on you, if it is true that the territory of the British Atlante Demon City is attacked by the enemy, he will personally bring you over to make it clear, instead of letting you stay here with a letter, the handwriting on the letter paper is not Duke Clifford's at all, it was forged by yourself, The Duke is a true left-hander, and you are very skilled in communicating with foreign countries. ”
Yuna still couldn't believe that what she had worked so hard to get would fly away so easily.
"So what? Fred said that if I get rid of you and Hazlitt, he will help me become a magician. ”
Ian, who had been silent all the time, finally couldn't help but say sharply when he heard this: "Yuna, only you will believe this kind of words, human beings are human beings, and there will never be a time for transformation." Yuna originally expected Ian to speak for her, but when she saw the indifferent look on the other party's face, her heart suddenly cooled.
"What the hell are you talking nonsense, the Duke didn't give up on me, I didn't think about any treason, Hazlitt, you help me say something!"
"Hazlitt, what nonsense are you talking about?! He would never lie to me! Yuna was so angry at the end that her voice almost changed her tone, and she probably didn't even know it, and when she said this, her tone sounded like she was very angry, but it was like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, and even her hands and feet were trembling.
"Shut up!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Sherlock let out a thunderous shout, he only felt that there was no need to talk nonsense with the other party now, in his opinion, betrayers were no different from dead people, and everyone was responsible for their own actions
The cold, sharp eyes made people almost suffocate their breath.
Then he looked at the black gentleman coldly, and gave an order without hesitation: "Black gentleman, this is an order!" ”
"Sherlock, let her go."
But to everyone's surprise, just when the black gentleman was about to carry out the order, Ian suddenly protected Yuna, this action - Sherlock was stunned at first, and he couldn't react for a long time, and then he couldn't help but want to laugh, a sneer rose on his lips, a demon is soft on humans, and this person is still a person who has betrayed them.
"Sherlock......" Ian didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't realize that because of his sudden soft-heartedness, the black gentleman who originally admired him and respected him was already extremely disappointed in him, he just felt that Yuna was just a girl who was deceived, instigated by those people, and powerless, "I admit that she did betray, but you are a demon, that level of damage will not affect you much, since it would be good to drive her out directly, why put her to death, It doesn't feel like a little girl is too cruel to do this. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sherlock looked at him in shock, and his heart was really amused by his words, this Earl Hazlitt is simply too incredible, too cruel to talk about him? Is it true that if someone else wants to harm him, he, Sherlock, is going to stand there like a fool and let others harm him? What kind of logic is this, after sneering, he was annoyed: "You get out of the way for me, otherwise I will kill you together!" ”
It was so fierce, so fierce that Ian almost mistook himself for the other party's enemy, and he had never seen Sherlock like this, and he was even more horrified for a while.
If he is merciful to the enemy in the midst of war, the one who is eliminated by the enemy does not deserve sympathy at all.
Ian really didn't expect the other party to be able to say such ruthless words, and before he could recover from his stunned, the other party had already continued, and his voice was cold: "You are soft-hearted to the enemy, you are simply stupid, the black gentleman executes my orders!" "There was no emotion.
Later, Ian was forcibly dragged away by the black gentleman, and Yuna saw that Ian, the only one who could save her, had left her, and in a moment of despair and fear, she devoured herself like a black abyss.
When Yuna was dragged away by the black gentleman, she looked at Sherlock with resentment in her eyes, she really couldn't imagine that someone who was very gentle with her before was now ruthlessly going to take her to hell.
"Sherlock Ford Heslett, you must not die well!!" There was bloodthirsty hatred in his voice, and it sounded extremely poignant.
Ian broke free from the black gentleman's grip and walked quickly to Sherlock, in his opinion, the other party was too much today, he had to be forgiving and forgiving, why did he have to do such a desperate thing.
Sherlock looked at him quietly, his gaze was already extremely cold, and Ian grabbed his wrist: "Sherlock, it's still too late, as long as you open your mouth, the black gentleman will listen to you!" There was a hint of urgency and pleading in his tone.
"Let go of me!" Sherlock was already extremely annoyed, he shook off his hand suddenly, raised his hand and slapped Ian's face crooked in half, a crisp slap sounded, and everyone present was stunned, "You sober up your mind, are you pitying her?" If you want to save you, I won't stop you, and don't regret today's soft-heartedness when you're unlucky. ”
In winter, the bitter cold wind whistled, the sky was already snowing, and in the vast snow and mist, a little girl who had been separated from her dog could faintly see a strange figure walking towards here.
The little girl forgot to find her pet dog because of curiosity, and then the figure gradually became clear, the person was wearing pajamas when he slept, and his long black hair was scattered to cover half of his face, and half of the face exposed in front of the little girl's eyes was already blurred with flesh and blood, and the bright red blood dripped on the snow-white, like a plum blossom, and the air was filled with a fishy smell.
The little girl screamed, turned to run, but a pale, cold hand grabbed her ankle without warning, and she fell forward to the ground, no matter how hard she struggled, and was finally dragged alive into the snow mist.
