Chapter 404: I'm Only Loyal to You
"El, when are you going to bring Kelly over?"
"There's no hurry. Kelly says she's safe at the moment and says Boulder needs him more. ”
"But you two ......"
"Forget it, Alan. You know, Kylie has a gentle personality on the surface, but on the inside she is a very assertive girl, and the things she decides are hard for others to change. ”
"Hah, do you mean she's in love with you?"
"She should have had a better life, maybe she is a mother of several children by now, but I can't give her anything but wait. ”
At this point, Elvis sighed, and his expression darkened.
"How's the preparation for the middle school of magic going?"
Alan patted Elvis on the shoulder and changed the subject.
"The place has been chosen, and it occupies a courtyard of the mercenary union. Elton has moved in with the students, and Sean is busy recruiting students everywhere, and the biggest problem now is that there are not enough teachers. ”
"Let's get Miranda and Feige over to help out, and we'll both try to make time for class as much as we can. By the way, Frank and Sanders came to me yesterday, Herbert's funeral has been dealt with, and the two of them are going to join us according to the teacher's will, and I will ask them to help out at the school when I go back. The training of a magician is by no means overnight, the teacher's problems can only be solved step by step, and you have to put all your energy into it, which is the most important thing. ”
Alan said in a serious tone.
"I don't need you to say that I know the value of this school, if you don't do it well, don't recognize me as a brother. ”
Elvis patted his chest and solemnly promised.
"Just have your words, the old man's magic academy is over, and the hope of magic in the future is all on us, and we must not let him down. ”
"Understood. I have one more request. ”
Say. ”
"Murphy is still in the Sheriff's Department's jail, and I want to ask him to come out and help. ”
Elvis refers to Murphy as Amaar's apprentice, who assassinated Alan in order to avenge his master, and later joined the ancient city of Ogu, where he mingled with the sheriff Quentin Ogu. When Allen's rebels arrived in the ancient city of Ao, Quentin formed a temporary legion that had always been composed of vigilantes from various villages and towns, and drove to the vicinity of the ancient city to confront the rebels, but his weak combat effectiveness was exposed in an encounter and was defeated by the boy group led by Stanley, and Murphy and the commander Quentin were captured together. Commander Quentin was released after a good show with Allen in order to survive, while Murphy remained imprisoned in the dark dungeons of the Sheriff's Office. As Emaar's only apprentice, Murphy is top in both talent and strength in terms of fire magic, which is also the fundamental reason why Elvis hopes to ask him to come out to help, but after all, Murphy has a grudge against Allen, and if he wants to release him, he needs Allen's nod.
"That's what happened. I could have promised you, but unfortunately you were late, and Murphy had already been asked to leave. ”
Alan said with a smile.
"Someone else wants to leave?"
Elvis scratched his scalp, and he couldn't think of anyone else who would rob him.
"It was Steven who took him away. ”
"What does Steven want the magician to do?"
"Murphy couldn't have joined us because of his master's death, but Steven said he was willing to try, and I agreed. ”
"Well, let Steven try. ”
Elvis said helplessly, he understood that although Emaar died from the loss of control of his magic array, after all, it happened in the process of his decisive battle with Allen, and it was directly related to Allen, and it was inevitable that Murphy would hold a grudge against Allen.
"Tuk Tuk!"
Just as Alan and Elvis were communicating about Murphy, there was a knock on the door outside, followed by the guards to report:
"Archmage, Lord Reinhardt is out there asking to see you. ”
----------------------------------------------------------
In the sheriff's cell, where Kevin Borg lived for a while, Murphy sat in dismay. He'd been here for a month, and he knew a little bit about what was going on outside through the jailers who were guarding them. Alan and his gang have succeeded in replacing the Agu family to take the ruling power of the ancient city of Ogu, and the next fate of him can be imagined, and the reason why he is still alive is only because Eren has not yet taken the time to deal with his assassin who almost killed him. So all he could do now was wait for the moment when Eren remembered him.
Today's moment seems to have finally arrived.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and a group of people entered the dungeon and stopped outside his cell door, where the jailer opened the door and a teenager walked in, escorted by two swordsmen.
"Introduce yourself. My name is Steven, and I'm the chief administrative officer of the ancient city of Augu-Po. You may not know my name, but you should know my brother-in-law well, and he is Alan Kanter. ”
The boy introduced himself as soon as he entered.
"Alan Kante wants to see my jokes, so he'd better do it himself. ”
Hearing Allen's name, Murphy sneered in an unkind tone.
"You're thinking too much, I'm here myself. ”
Steven said without thinking.
"What's the matter with me?"
Hearing that it wasn't Alan who wanted to see him, the puzzled look on Murphy's face became more and more obvious.
"Be my subordinate. ”
"Don't think about it. My teacher died at your hands, and although I have no power for revenge now, I will not do anything to take refuge in the enemy. ”
Murphy politely refused.
"If I could help you get revenge, would you do it?"
"What you said is true?"
Murphy's body shook when he heard this.
"Don't get excited, when I say revenge, I'm not helping you kill my brother-in-law. ”
Looking at Murphy's surprised expression, Steven couldn't help but laugh.
"I don't understand. ”
"My brother-in-law is just a mercenary, and everything he does is at the behest of his employer, including eradicating the Bolth bandits entrenched in the Great Dragon Rift, if you really want revenge, you should go to the employer behind the scenes. ”
"Who's the employer behind the scenes?"
There was a flame of revenge burning in Murphy's pupils, but Steven's next words were like a basin of cold water that extinguished the flames.
"Busman, Roland Higg. ”
"Emperor Higg?"
"Are you scared?"
"Don't be afraid, I just think there's little hope for revenge. ”
"So you need my help. ”
"Do you think that with one ancient city of Ocheng, you can help me kill Emperor Higg?"
Murphy sneered.
"Of course, it may not be possible, but it is better for me to give you a chance than for you to wait for death in this dark cell. I've said that, whether you accept your own decision or not, I have other important things, so I'll go back first. ”
After Steven finished speaking, he turned to leave, but Murphy's voice came from behind him.
"Wait!"
Steven stopped.
"What conditions do you have?"
"Smart people. ”
"I'll help you get revenge, you're loyal to me, it's fair, right?"
"I have one condition, I will be loyal to you only. ”
"Of course!"
