Chapter 206: Suspicion of the Holy See
In the evening, in the Earl's Court of Georgis.
"Rankie, I'm Georgis, open the door!"
It was already night, and the servants were asleep. Georgis's hurried knock at the door, echoing in the silence of the house, was clear.
When Georgis heard a complaint from inside the room, the thick, lavishly decorated door opened.
Orchid leaned against the doorway with sleepy eyes.
She wore only a silk nightgown as thin as a cicada's wings, and she didn't even wear shoes. The nightgown was loose, revealing a smooth thin neck and a snow-white skin on the chest, which accentuated the proud curves of the front because Ranki was holding her arms crossed. At the same time, a pair of white bare feet and a slender white calf were also exposed to Georgess's eyes.
"I said Georgis, it's so late, and you still want to come to my room?"
Georgis stared at Lan Ji's body, his eyes were up and down, his eyes were shining like hungry wolves, and after swallowing his saliva with difficulty, he said, "Lan Ji, it's not good, something is wrong!"
Ranki immediately restrained her playful expression, looked out the door, and motioned for Georgis to come in and speak.
"What's wrong?"
"My lord's men have just reported to me that a member of their team was sleeping in a hotel room when he was abducted by an unknown group of masked men. Although it was discovered early, but those people must have made a plan in advance, and after a fight, the people were still taken away by them, and it is still unknown whether they are alive or dead. ”
Due to the urgency of the matter, Georgis rarely only cared about talking, and did not think about it anymore.
"Usually, the activities of the squad will be reported to me, and I will be responsible for telling the adults. You don't have any contact with this team, but only you have a way to get in touch with the adults. Orchid, hurry up and inform your lordship, if it is delayed, my life will be difficult in the future!" Georgis said hurriedly. The cold Georgis of the Man in Black had known it for a long time, and he didn't want to learn the demon's methods.
"Okay, I will. If there's anything else going on, let me know as soon as possible, and I'll take care of it. Lan Ji said.
Georgis seemed relieved, patted his chest, let out a long breath, and glanced greedily at Orchid's body again before leaving Orchid's room.
After making sure that Georgis had left, Lan Ji swept over a purple jade ring on her hand with her divine sense, and with a grasp of her hand in the void, a shiny round teleportation ball was already in her hand......
The next morning. Georgis was preparing to go to the palace.
"Georgis. A voice burst out in Georges' room.
Georgis, who was taking clothes from the closet, heard this familiar and terrifying voice, threw away the clothes he had already held in his hand, and walked quickly to the door.
"Your Excellency, you are here. Georgis said respectfully.
It's still the same outfit, the same empty and indifferent voice. Naturally, the person who came was a man in black.
"Georgis, I know everything about last night. You handled it in a timely manner. I need you to do things for me so faithfully. In the future, you will not have to worry about the affairs of the team at all, and focus on your own duties!"
"Yes. My lord. Georgis didn't even dare to ask what happened to the arrested team member, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, he kept this rule in mind.
After the man in black left, Georgis rode in a luxurious carriage to the royal palace to attend a meeting. The man in black arranged for him to be in charge of the team's search for the broken knife, which was not an idle matter in Georgis's own eyes. He didn't know what kind of broken knife it was, he only knew that this broken knife was very important to the man in black, which could be glimpsed from the man in black urging him to seriously search for it in Noqi City.
Now, the team is no longer in charge of him, which means that the search for the broken knife has nothing to do with him, and his heart can finally let go and focus on paying attention to the dynamics of the empire and monitoring the movements of various officials in the empire.
It's just that even so, he is not in a very good mood, because his son Cooper is beaten by the elusive Lynsey again.
Inside the palace of the king of Nochi. Before the meeting began, Jason had time to talk to Issy.
"It's a pity, I dispatched a group of elites from my private area, investigated and observed for several days, and finally caught one alive and came back, and the interrogation was not over, but I didn't expect this guy to die quietly. Jason sighed.
"Has the cause of death been ascertained? ”
"It's been ascertained. Jason smiled bitterly, "In his brain and soul, someone else has arranged a death contract." The fact that he was arrested should have been through this contract, and it was soon known to the owner of the contract, and that person triggered the contract mode, and the soul of the captured person was instantly hit hard, and he died at that time. originally thought that as long as he pried out the poison pill in his teeth, he would be fine, but who would have thought that this person would also be signed a death contract. ”
Issy said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, such a cursed contract that can achieve the same effect, a clever dark mage can do it. And the Holy See has never lacked such magicians. ”
"It seems that this matter must have something to do with the Holy See. It's just that with this accident, those people's actions will become extremely cautious, and it shouldn't be realistic to catch the living people again. There is no way, this time it will be a failure, and in the future, I can only pay more attention to these strangers as before. ”
Subsequently, the palace meeting began on time. Although all the officials were present, it seemed that His Majesty Jason did not have much to announce and discuss this time, except for some routine matters, he only urged all officials to work together to minimize the impact of the orc ravages as soon as possible, so that those people who were suffering could live a normal and peaceful life as soon as possible.
Georgis and Thomas walked together, and the relationship between the two in politics was very clear to outsiders, so there was no evasion, Georgis got into Thomas's carriage directly, and the two spied in the carriage.
"My lord, Lynsey has reappeared, in Noqi City. Georgis said openly.
Thomas raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, "My people were waiting for him outside the Northern Legion, but the god of war Miller came, and at the same time there was an old man who didn't know the depth of strength and was dressed as a butler, and the three of them got into the carriage and left, my people didn't dare to act rashly, so they had to watch Lin Xi leave safely." I've been looking for him for the past few months, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you, Count Georgis, when did he appear?"
"Just yesterday," Georgis had a good expression, his eyes were very resentful, "he fought my son Kubo on the street, and I heard that there were four fifth-order strength gangsters who were all beaten by him alone. Now that he's still on our turf this time, Lord Marquis, it's time to remove this thorn in the eye once and for all. "Georgis pinned his hopes on Thomas, after all, except for the Lan Ji who was around the sixth order in the mansion and the elusive man in black, he didn't have any powerful force to handle.
"I also want to solve him as soon as possible, but the actual situation is getting more and more troublesome. Have you ever wondered why, Count Georgis, that several elaborate actions by the two of us have been carried out, but in the end they have all failed, without exception?"
"This, aside from luck, I think the person standing behind Linsey is the key. To deal with Lynsey, I'm afraid that even the people behind him will have to deal with it. Chris, Miller, Western Commander O'Wheelmans, the former Nicholas, and the old man dressed as a butler that the adults just said are not characters to mess with. ”
"That's true. Thomas nodded, "These people have helped Lynsey with their support, both explicitly and implicitly, and our actions have indeed been greatly affected, but there are actually other reasons besides this. Thomas paused, and then said: "Lynsey himself, his potential seems to be more and more able to be stimulated at will, and his strength is growing terribly, watching a teenager with his wings grow, for an enemy with such a growth rate, it is incredible, and the strength of our two families cannot shake it, it really seems like a big joke to say it." ”
Georgis naturally didn't laugh at Thomas with himself, he said worriedly, "Then what should I do, do you want to watch him grow stronger?" Lord Marquis, your family has only one hand in the empire, and its strength is unfathomable, can you invite a master to completely kill Lin Xi's life?"
"No," Thomas shook his head dryly, "in their eyes Lynsey is just a nobody. If it weren't for the fact that he had a grudge against you and my son, you think about it, we wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to this person. Moreover, now that the situation in the mainland has deteriorated, the family still has more important things to deal with, even I, I'm afraid I won't have the time to take care of this matter in the future. ”
Georgis nodded nonchalantly, all he could think about was how to capture Lynsey and avenge his wounded and humiliated son.
Thomas naturally saw what Georgis was thinking, and changed his words, "We usually pay attention to it, if you find Linsey's traces again, you will notify me immediately, and then design to deal with him will definitely not have the kung fu, but if you happen to meet him in this Noqi City, it must not be particularly difficult to kill him." ”
Georgis felt a little better.
"Did you notice anything at Your Majesty's meeting today?" asked Thomas.
"Your Excellency, are you referring to Stonestream City?" was not stupid, and soon knew what Thomas was going to say.
"As you know, the people who assassinated Linxi in the west were arranged by the dead and useless city lord Patch in Stonestream City. After the assassination failed, the man died immediately afterward. I suspect it has something to do with Lynsey. Now that Stonestream City has a new owner, and the chain of interests between us and Pache has also collapsed, this is nothing, I am worried about His Majesty. ”
"Probably not, even if Patch had recorded the process of the transaction between us and him, this evidence would not necessarily reach Your Majesty, and if Your Majesty did have this ironclad evidence, the Marquis would be fine, but I certainly will not be at ease like I am now. Georgis spoke his mind.
"Be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years. No matter what the matter is, you can do your job with peace of mind for a while, let the people in distress in the west really get benefits, and make achievements so that Your Majesty's fiery eyes will not be staring at us. ”
"Lord Marquis Xie reminds me, I will definitely do it. Georgis concluded.
