Countless thoughts were spinning in his head, and Lucien pretended to be indifferent, calmly closed the door, and walked to the table.

His left hand was in his pocket, and when he touched the "Ice and Snow Avenger" ring, his will immediately became as thick as a knight who had broken through regularly.

It's just that Lucien didn't exude this momentum, but restrained himself, because judging from the feeling just now, the other party probably didn't know that Lu Dao was a magician with extraordinary power, not an ordinary young man.

Lucien looked at the letter, and with the help of this will of the magic simulation, he was as calm as ice and snow, and as if he was afraid of a trap, he carefully opened the envelope with his right hand and unfolded the folded letterhead.

It was an ordinary piece of letterhead, with rows of words that did not look like handwriting, neat and beautiful but dull, and seemed to be printed.

"Dear Mr. Evans,

We are very honored to have Mr. Joel's family on board, and as long as you cooperate with us to do something that is not difficult to do, they will surely live a happy, prosperous and wonderful life. When it's over, they'll come back safe and sound with your satisfying wealth, and it's a fair deal. ”

"Sure enough, it's a kidnapping, but it doesn't look like it's extorting money. Lucien resisted the urge to shred the letter, and while judging softly, he carefully searched for clues left on it, "What is going on?"

Suddenly, the original lines of words on the letter paper quickly became lighter, and then disappeared completely.

In the original place, black single word after word appeared out of thin air, and soon a few new lines of text appeared.

"Mr. Evans, you are worthy of being a musical genius who composes such magnificent music, and you are really different from ordinary people, and I am very satisfied with your calmness and composure just now. Again, this is a fair deal and cooperation, not kidnapping. Of course, if you betray us, you will never see Mr. Joel's family again. ”

"This is a supernatural power! I can't blindly expose my magic, only in this way can I have a chance to rescue Uncle Joel and them!" "As a magic apprentice who has been in contact with undead creatures such as resentful spirits and water ghosts, this level of weird things can't scare Lucian, but it makes Lucian more calm, and he doesn't believe in the so-called transaction and cooperation at all, and he is very sure that this is a kidnapping threat.

When facing the kidnappers, the most important thing is to never believe that after completing the requirements, the kidnappers will return the hostages safely by themselves, and the corpses are possible, so Lucien decided not to be coerced by the kidnappers at the first time and began to plan to save people.

However, the pretense of acceptance of the apparent delay was still necessary, and Lucien took two deep breaths, pretended to be forcibly calm, and whispered, "What are you going to make me do?, and how can I trust you to keep Uncle Joel safe, maybe they have been killed by them now!"

Appropriate toughness is also an indispensable negotiating tool to ensure the safety of the hostages.

The words on the envelope disappeared again, and a new one appeared:

"What we asked for was simple, and that was to make the most of your musical talents, to create more and more great compositions, and to become a long-term musical advisor to Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha. This shouldn't be difficult for a musical genius like you who can write such a complex and great piece of music in three months, and it aligns well with your goals and future path. You see, as a partner, we always have you in mind Mr. Evans. ”

"As for the safety of Mr. Joel's family, please rest assured that killing them will not do us any good. ”

Many thoughts flashed through Lucian's mind: "Their target is Princess Natasha, or do they get some secrets of Latasya Palace by contacting the princess? Or are they manipulating some noble inheritance disputes after gaining the trust of the princess? I was only invited by the princess to serve as a short-term music advisor yesterday, and today someone is kidnapping Uncle Joel's family to blackmail me, such a reaction speed, could it be that among them who was present at the time?"

Lucien, who deduced the other party's purpose, insisted in a very strong tone: "If I can't be sure that Uncle Joel's family is safe, I will treat them as if they are dead and will not cooperate with you." You can kill me, but you can't force me. ”

The handwriting continues to change:

"Mr. Evans, I think there's one thing you need to figure out, you're just one of our attempts to get there, we have a lot more ways to do it, and you're not as important as you think you are. ”

Lucien sneered, "Then you guys kill me." ”

After the handwriting faded this time, it didn't appear for a long time, and it seemed that the other party also felt a little tricky about Lucian's attitude, probably they thought that Lucian, a poor young man with musical talent, should not be so tough.

Time passed slowly, and a few minutes of waiting gave Lucian the illusion that the other party had left, but Lucian gritted his teeth and didn't speak, this is the time to compete for patience!

Finally, a few lines of black words stood out on the envelope again: "We will show you the 'sight' of the life of Mr. Joel's family every once in a while, starting tomorrow for the first time." However, your attitude just now has angered us, and tomorrow you will receive a finger from Mr. Joel in addition to the 'sight', which I am sure you will recognize. ”

"Bastard. Lucien cursed through gritted teeth, "Your 'vision' must include the complete time and date characteristics, or else the 'vision' you have made with this evil and terrible force is likely to be the same day, and then pretend to be a different date and give me a separate part." ”

has already accepted Lucian's previous request, and the part added later, the other party only thought about it for a minute and expressed his approval: "No problem, now, Mr. Evans, you can cooperate with us, right?"

"I'll work with you when I see it tomorrow. Do you need me to swear?" Lucien pretended to be ignorant of the power of the supernatural, and quietly clenched his fist and waved it in his heart, as long as he had the time and date characteristics, he had a certain hope of judging the location of Uncle Joel's family, after all, they needed to be expressed by their surroundings.

A new black font appears: "Mortals make oaths to break them, and oaths testified by the true gods will leave traces on you, and will make you identify by the Church and the Divine Array of the Lata Xia Palace, so as long as you say yes." We will secretly observe everything you do, and don't expect to hide it from us. Also, don't think about reporting us to Her Royal Highness the Princess, believe me, as long as you say it, at most a minute, the Joel family will be completely dead. ”

He writes vaguely, mysteriously, and terrifyingly, wondering whether the last sentence of the Princess's last sentence is an expression of the people around the princess and them, or if there is a weird, undetectable telepathy that they will directly know when they say certain words.

"What do you need me to do other than being Her Highness the Princess's long-term musical advisor?" Lucien said, the purpose often revealing motives, and motives often make it possible to guess the enemy.

The font became scribbled: "If we hear something interesting in the Latashya Palace, as well as the itinerary of the Grand Duke and the Princess, we would be happy to know." You just need to write it down with a quill on this piece of paper. ”

"It's very cunning, or those few purposes have not diminished, and it is impossible to judge the real motives. Lucien nodded, "No problem. ”

A scribbled black font appeared, but it was not as clear as before: "Mr. Evans, you are very wise, if there is anything you need, you can ask us for something, I hope we have a good cooperation." ”

The font disappeared completely, never to be seen again, and Lucien had only a blank piece of letter in front of him.

At the same time, with the will bonus of the "Ice and Snow Avenger", Lucien slightly felt the disappearance of a wave of supernatural power.

Folding the white paper and putting it in the envelope, Lucien looked at the closed wooden window with a blank face, and said with anger and hatred in his heart: "You must not have imagined that I have already recognized you, right?

From the very beginning of opening the envelope, Lucien, with the help of the "Ice and Snow Avenger", had a sharper mental power, and found that the letter inside exuded a small amount of supernatural power, so while talking to the mystic, Lucien was analyzing the composition of this supernatural power.

Every time the text disappears and appears, Lucien's analysis of this supernatural power is more accurate, and gradually excludes the magic power that he is most familiar with, by comparing Bishop Salde's feelings to himself, as well as Benjamin's magic that he has seen before, Lucien judged that this is a quasi-divine art, but the specific difference, with Lucian's current knowledge and insight, can not be judged, even what is the difference between magic and divine art, and why there will be such a big difference in the breath and fluctuations cast, Lucien does not know the way。

In Aalto, the most active cult is the Silver Horn, and there should not be a second similar secret sect under the church's recent tight control.

"It's really fate with you. Lucien thought a little bit through gritted teeth.

"The white paper is an apprentice-level magic item, just now it should be someone who was eavesdropping and manipulating similar magic nearby, judging from the duration of his spiritual power, his strength is a little lower than that of a formal priest, but it is stronger than a high-level magic apprentice. With such strength, he can hide anywhere within a hundred meters of the vicinity, and it is difficult to find. ”

Lucien checked the hut and found that the entrance to his magic laboratory had not changed, and he was a little relieved: "If you want to rescue Uncle Joel, in addition to planning, you must also have your own strength, otherwise even if they cooperate with the church and the princess, they will not worry about Uncle Joel's safety." ”

The church and the princess are not police uncles who would consider the safety of the hostages, especially since these hostages are paupers.

And Lucien never thought about cooperating with the "Silver and White Horn" from beginning to end, and made up his mind at the beginning, looking for an opportunity to rescue Joel's family directly!

The more this kind of thing is coerced by the other party, the worse the consequences will be! Lucien's basic judgment and decisiveness are still there!

Returning to the house, Lucien walked directly to the noble quarter.
