Chapter 304: Gerald's Scheme
Back then, in the lair of the Bols horse bandits, in order to be able to divide the horse bandits and rape them, Allen had designed to transfer a part of the Bols horse bandits to the outside of the Demon Dragon Rift, and this part of the men and horses was led by Murphy. Later, these bandits were ambushed by the Higg army and suffered heavy casualties, but Murphy, as the leader, was lucky to escape. When he returns to the Great Dragon Rift, he discovers that his bandits' lair has been wiped out, Bols is killed in battle, and his teacher Emaar is missing. In the later battle report of the Higg military, Murphy learned that the teacher had also been killed in battle, and the relationship between him and the teacher was like that of father and son, and it was difficult to accept this result, he did not give up, and lurked near the Great Dragon Rift Valley for a while, trying to find his teacher Emaar, but the result was nothing, and in the end he could only accept the result that the teacher was dead.
When he left the Dragon Rift, Murphy didn't know that Eren was an enemy, and thought that Eren would be wiped out as well. However, in the past few years, in the process of hiding in Tibet, he heard Allen's name again, and then he realized that he and the others had been deceived, especially after Allen made trouble in the execution ground of the Holy See of Light, Murphy speculated through Allen's strength that his teacher Emaar died in the hands of Allen, so a bold idea of killing Allen to avenge the teacher came to his heart.
Alan had said in the bandits' den that he was an undercover agent sent by Yuss to the ancient city of Aocheng, so he went north to the ancient city of Aogu, and sure enough, he met the enemy Alan here, but he did not immediately take revenge, on the one hand, Holland had sent some guards to protect Allen so that he had no chance, and on the other hand, he himself was not sure of success.
Murphy's strength is not weak, he is a high-level fire magician, but he understands that his teachers are not Allen's opponents, and Allen has performed a magical magic performance in the Guangming Square in Triumph City, the capital of the Higg Empire, and if he wants to use magic to avenge his teacher Emaar, it is simply self-defeating.
But how can you avenge your teacher?
As a magician, Murphy knew that no matter how strong a magician was, his body was fragile, and even a child could stab him to death with a single sword, so he came up with such an assassination idea. However, Allen's identity has long since changed, and it is not easy to get close to him to carry out the assassination operation. At least he stayed in Aogucheng for half a year, and Allen was protected by the guards of the Hollanster faction in and out, so he didn't have the slightest chance. However, Murphy did not give up, and waited until Alan went north to Iron Pine Town, and he also followed, but the scope of Iron Pine Town was too small, in order not to attract attention, he could only disguise himself as a beggar and stay in Iron Pine Town for a few months, but he couldn't even see Allen's face, but he didn't expect that just when he was about to give up, the beggar brother he had just met brought him good news, allowing him to seize this opportunity. If it weren't for Isha's contribution to the soft armor that Eren had crafted, he might have been able to assassinate him successfully.
"Alan, what should this assassin do?"
When everything was reported, Aple asked Alan for instructions.
"Of course he was killed with a knife, do you want to let him go?"
The little girl said hatefully beside her.
"No!"
Alan waved his hand and denied the little girl's words. Although he was almost assassinated by Murphy, he did not have a strong hatred for Murphy, the original Bols horse bandits had been eliminated, and Murphy alone could not cause great harm, and he assassinated himself only to avenge his teacher Emaar, and Emaar did die at his own hands. Avenging the master is a loving and righteous thing, and if Mr. Kers is killed, he will avenge him at any cost. So for that alone, Alan won't kill Murphy.
"What does the archmage mean..."
Marlowe asked tentatively.
"Don't kill this person, but you can't let it go, let's lock it up first. ”
After thinking for a moment, Alan said. But at this time, he would not know what kind of disaster his decision would bring.
"Marlowe, this Murphy is a high-level magician, I'm afraid we can't be locked up in the town, once he runs away, the archmage blames us and we'll be in trouble. ”
After deciding what to do with Murphy, Apleer and Marlowe saw that it was getting late, so they both took their leave, and on the way back, the two of them were on horseback, and Mayor Aple took the initiative to speak.
"What does Mayor Mare's mean?"
"I mean it's better to send him to the prison of the Okugu Sheriff's Department, which is so heavily guarded that even high-level magicians can't escape. Take 10,000 steps back, even if he escapes from prison, the chief archmage will blame him, and it will be the responsibility of the Public Security Department. ”
Aple said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, I'll arrange it. ”
Marlowe's eyes lit up when he heard this, sending Murphy to Aogugu Prison was indeed the best of both worlds, he immediately agreed, and acted immediately, and personally led his men to escort Murphy to Aogucheng the next day.
In a lavish courtyard in the ancient city of Oko, the magistrate Quentin Ogu has just sent off an important guest, and this guest is none other than Gerald, the business agent of the Hepburn family in the ancient city of Oku.
Gerald was reused because he made a lot of money for the Hepburn family when he represented Allen's magic array to the south, but then Alan gradually withdrew from the magic equipment transaction, and this part of Gerald's business stopped, but because he had laid a good foundation in the ancient city of Aogu, his business in medicine, minerals, leather goods and other businesses is still thriving. However, after the robbery of the Execution Ground in Triumph City, Alan broke the relationship between the two sides completely because he openly became an enemy of the Holy See. For this reason, the Hepburn family also specially asked Gerald to go to the castle of Ogu to ask Horanster to hand over Allen. But the result is that Holland not only does not listen to him, but reuses Allen, and Gerald's position in the ancient city of Augu is embarrassed. And things turned against him one after another, and Alan later resumed the deal in magical equipment, but did not give him back the agency. It doesn't matter if a magic array can't get it, Allen followed up and restarted the production of potions, these potions are not only fair in price but also have outstanding effects, and soon suppressed the Hepburn family's potion business in the north, not only that, these cheap and high-quality potions were even transported to the south through some secret channels, which had a strong impact on the Hepburn family's drug business in the Holy See's sphere of influence. The persecuted Hepburn family had to put further pressure on Gerald and must find a solution to the above problems as soon as possible, otherwise his role as a business agent in the ancient city of Aogu will come to an end, and he will soon be driven back to the small southern country.
Let Gerard return to the south like this, of course he is unwilling, so he also wants to try again, he knows that Allen and the Sheriff's Department, the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group and the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group have more or less had some troubles, so he has been traveling between several people recently to persuade them to join forces with him to deal with Allen, otherwise after Steven and Selena get married, Allen's foundation in the ancient city of Ao is stable, and their group can only act according to Allen's face in the end.
