Chapter 228: Attack, Defend for Attack!
Rin was startled by the sound and immediately looked towards the place where the sound had come from.
But I saw that next to the pool not far away, there was an enchantment standing impressively.
At this point, obvious cracks had appeared on the surface of the barrier. And the sound just now must have been the sound made by the black shadow trapped inside trying to break through the barrier with brute force.
"What is this?"
Rin asked, pointing to the dark patch inside, unable to tell if it was liquid or solid.
"He's, Shadow."
"Shadow ...... He's a shadow?! โ
Suddenly, Rin Rin suddenly remembered that in his community, a team of assassination organizations called "Shadow Night" tried to kill themselves in the name of the Yeren Clan Senate.
At the beginning, Team Leader Lan received the news and rushed to support.
Although the remnants of the "Shadow Night" and a few dead bodies were cleaned up, the only one missing among those people was Shadow, who was the leader of the team and had already been deposed by Talos.
At that time, because of the identity of Talos and the chaos caused by the miscanthus salt, the matter was silently suppressed, and in the end, no one mentioned it.
But now, the shadow that disappeared out of thin air suddenly appeared in this way at this time, but people have to wonder if there must be some secret behind it, or a long-planned conspiracy......
"Well, we'll talk about him slowly when we get back."
Talos obviously didn't want to spend any more time on Shadow's body, but after recovering the power of the "Water Realm", he glanced at Chi Yi, "Since you caught this guy, please take it back." โ
โโฆโฆ Ha? โ
Chi Yi was stunned for a moment, and wanted to refute a few words.
But Talos had already been dignified, and he didn't leave him half a chance to bargain at all.
โฆโฆ
On the way back, Talos gave a general account of the cause and effect of the encounter with Ei, as well as what happened.
It was only when he mentioned that two other black objects were speeding out from the depths of the green forest and merging with the shadow, he suddenly paused and said, "By the way, you said before that you met the mangshi?" โ
"Hmm."
Rin nodded.
Thinking back to Mangni, the dignified emotions were indescribably complicated.
On the one hand, it comes from the long-standing hatred for mangni that has never diluted. On the other hand, she and Chi Yi were so good at asserting that they left the miscanthus in the green forest and left it to fend for itself.
She didn't know if it was right or wrong to do so, especially at a sensitive time when the envoy and the Yaren were both interested in negotiating an armistice.
Therefore, Rin told Talos everything he said and did, including where he was trapped by Chiyi's barrier.
Since Mangni is a member of the Yeren Clan and is Talos's guard, it would be better to leave these matters to Talos.
Rin Rin thought like this, and her face remained solemn, and she didn't relax for a long time.
Suddenly, a pair of slightly cool hands fell on top of her head and gently rubbed her head.
Looking up, facing a slightly dazzling light, what appeared in front of Rin was the good-looking face of Talos with a light smile.
"My master has really grown up, and he already has such a troubled expression......" said Talos, patting her head condescendingly.
Rin blushed suddenly, and reached out to knock away the large hand that Talos was rubbing his head.
"I'm bigger than you!"
As she spoke, Rin looked away with a shy face.
I don't know what Talos has been eating since he returned to Yeren, he has barely grown much, but he is already so much taller than himself.
It's really, not fair!
Seeing that Rin Rin looked angry, although he didn't know what was going on in her head, Talos probably guessed that he must not be thinking about anything good.
Leaving the green forest, Bai Mustard was already waiting outside in a hurry.
I saw a figure walking out of the forest from a distance, and immediately greeted him with a happy face.
"Master Tรกr, you're back......"
But when he saw Ye Rin also coming back with Talos, the joy on his face immediately came to an abrupt end. It's like petrified, frozen on the face.
"There's another person in the back, and when he comes out, I'll seal this place and don't allow anyone to come close."
"Yes."
White Mustard responded decisively.
-
After that, as Chiichi returned from the green forest, the shadow who was brought back with him was put in a dark prison to await interrogation.
Inside the Tarr family mansion.
After each of the three changed into clean clothes, they met in the study to exchange corresponding information.
For the fact that Shadow and Mangnitus appeared at the same time, it could not be a coincidence in anyone's eyes.
And this path, called "Green Forest", is actually a private path that will be found in the mansions of every famous family.
Although the existence of such a secret path is not a secret, in each clan, only the head of the family, and a very small number of people in the family will know about it.
"So you mean, it's the guard named Mangni, who betrayed you?" Chi Yi leaned back on the sofa and casually picked up the small biscuits on the table and threw them into his mouth.
"No, I think it's not so much a betrayal as a betrayal by someone behind him, and a kind of cooperation has been reached."
Rin pondered if it was her who had changed her mind and tried to open up the culpability for the mang.
However, she had always had a strong instinct in her heart that she would never do any harm or attempt to betray Talos.
Moreover, it is not difficult to hear from the remarks made when they fight.
Mangni's action this time is simply to get rid of himself without the gods knowing.
"To each his own, do you need ......?"
Talos repeated these four words, but for a while he couldn't figure it out, Mangni told Ying the hidden passage in the mansion, what could he get from it?
And behind the shadow, who is trying to control all this?
"We don't have a clue if we continue to guess this, although it's impossible for that guy to speak. But don't we have a big living person waiting to be tried? โ
As he spoke, Chi Yi suddenly turned around, leaned his chin on the back of the sofa with a lazy look, and looked at Talos with a sly expression.
"You mean, Shadow?"
"That's right."
Seeing that Talos finally kept up with his thoughts, Chi Yi also suddenly came to his senses.
"As long as a man lives, he will speak. Even if the person's mouth is hard, there is always a gap that can be pried open. And many things, as long as they tear a little bit open, the people behind them will be involved one after another......"
Facing the light, Chi Yi's face was still lazy, and it gave people a harmless appearance.
It's just that in terms of understanding human nature and these cruel things, Chi Yi can be said to have a very thorough understanding.
"Actually, I did intend to ask him if I left him alive, but there has been no movement yet, I'm afraid that Bai Mustard hasn't asked anything." Talos stood by the window, his eyes looking in the direction of the dungeon.
"White mustard? Is it the silly white sweet who waited for me outside the "Green Forest" today? โ
Chi Yi thought about it for a while, and then he was straightforward, and put a 'silly white sweet' hat on Bai Mustard.
"Well, it's him."
"That guy, at a glance, knows that he is a simple-minded little thing, where can he try a prisoner."
Although they only met hastily once, from Chi Yi's words, he had already seen through Bai Mustard, and he couldn't trust his ability to do things at all.
As for Chi Yi's assertion, Talos did not refute it.
Because Bai Mustard is indeed as Chi Yi said, gentle and silly simplicity.
But even though he has such a personality, when he goes into battle to match the enemy, such a seemingly gentle and harmless little thing has a bloodless ruthlessness.
After all, if you don't have some real skills, how can you take on the position of Konoe.
"Since you can't trust White Mustard, how do you want to judge?" Talos turned his head and spoke with a hint of inquiry.
"I'll go."
The two simply blurted out, and Chi Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of a secret edge almost at the same time.
"No way!"
At this time, before Talos could make a statement, Rin took the lead in speaking out to stop it.
"Why?"
"This is not the Yunyin Association, if too many people know about our connection with Talos, I am afraid it will bring him unnecessary trouble, and it is also easy to add obstruction to this peace negotiation."
Rin rationally analyzes the key points.
It's better to do more than less, although this is the private residence of the Tal family, it is inevitable that there will be some eyeliner secretly inserted by other families.
In order to ensure integrity, the magic envoy who is still in a hostile relationship should still show his face less.
"Little Rin, you're wrong." Chi shook his index finger and looked like he didn't agree with this remark.
"Huh?"
According to Talos, the vast majority of the Senate is now considering peace. But at this time, Shadow's assassination and Mang's obstruction came at the same time. What do you think is the driving force behind this? โ
Chi Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was just unhurried, as if he was guiding.
"For the sake of ...... Prevent the two clans from making peace? โ
"Bingo~ That's right!"
Seeing Chi Yi's affirmative look, Rin subconsciously turned his head to look at Talos, trying to get some different answers from him, or speculation.
However, although Talos didn't say anything, he also nodded.
โโฆโฆโ
At this moment, Rin suddenly stopped talking.
She knew that an armistice was not something that could be easily negotiated by just two people who were firm about it and then relied on a single statement.
But in the same way, she didn't expect that the resistance behind this would be so big.
It was even implicated in the assassination......
In the study, all three of them fell silent.
Listening to the pendulum of the wall clock on the wall, the rhythm of 'tick, tick', Rin Rin settled down and took the lead in speaking.
