Ines and Robert walked on the road, Xiao Chen and a few people followed from a distance, and Xiao Chen performed a concealment technique. Although they are not invisible, as long as they are careful, it is difficult to be seen in this twilight light.

Xiao Chen used his eavesdropping magic again, and soon the conversation between the two in front of him entered his consciousness.

Ines was saying, "...... You remember, go south and go to Conch City in the southern city-states. I bought a room there years ago. You can live there. After settling down, we quickly find a woman and have a good child, so that our family will pass it on. ”

"Father. Is it really that bad?, doesn't Lord Baron think it's not a big deal?" asked Robert.

"Listen to me, Suero has a lot of eyes these days, staring at the Baron and us. Although they do it carefully. But my thirty-odd years here have not been in vain. The eyes are clear to see in order to start later. I believe they wouldn't have put so much effort into this place if they hadn't been going to take action. Ines said in a deep voice, "The Baron underestimated the determination of these magicians. Those crazy people always think differently than others. ”

"You didn't tell the Baron?" asked Robert.

"I ...... Will tell him. But only after you left. Ines hesitated, "Listen, I didn't betray Lord Baron. But I can't help but think of you. What do you think the Baron would do if he knew the crisis was coming now?"

"I'm not sure. ”

"I'm not sure, but what if he pushes both of us out to appease the anger of those people? He has already put Uviko in prison for the reason of incompetence, and the Chinese will throw him out when they need to explain." But what if one Uvico is not enough? You have done the most in that village except for Uvico! If the Baron handed me over to them, I would admit it, and if I could stop this for him, it would be regarded as a reward for his trust in him for so many years. But you can't, you're my son, and you must escape. Ines said firmly.

"Father, why don't you come with me?" asked Robert.

"I'm going to be a drag on you when I'm old, and besides, I still have your mother and sister at home. If we all leave, even if the Chinese don't find them, the baron won't let them go. But if I stay, the baron remembers what I have done, and I should let them live. ”

The two of them walked for about ten minutes until they came to the door of a shop, a blacksmith shop, and Ines led Robert into the shop, through the workshop, and into the backyard. In the middle of the courtyard stood two brown horses, both saddled and wrapped on their backs. A young man in the form of a servant was standing aside waiting for them.

Ines pulled out a small bag from his clothes and handed it to Robert, "Here's a space bag with everything you can use." Matt is a very reliable young man, and he will be your servant from now on. Remember, go straight to the city gate through the back door and leave before the gate closes. ”

"Matt, you ......" Ines was about to say a few words to him, but saw the young man yawn and fall straight down. The two horses beside him rattled and staggered two paces before colliding together and falling limply to the ground.

Ines and Robert turned to look around, only to see a few people around at some point. The house gate, the courtyard gate, and the fence were blocked.

Ines could see the faces of two of them in the afterglow of the sun, and couldn't help but take a step back. He stopped in front of Robert and said, "Your Excellency Xiao Chen, Captain Kalanda, you actually came here in person. ”

"Yes, Ines, I still remember the previous cooperation, I didn't expect us to come to this point in the end!" Xiao Chen sighed and said, "I can tell you that I heard everything you said all the way before. So let's not go around the bush and get straight to the point. ”

Ines gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that I am really right, you will not let go of the puppeteer." Your Excellency Xiao Chen, this matter was arranged by me from the beginning to the end. If you want revenge or punishment, come at me. ”

Xiao Chen slowly approached them, his gaze moving between father and son, and finally fell on Robert, "Robert, have you seen your father's hard work? Tell me whose idea it was to hire a puppeteer. ”

Xiao Chen, who is a high-level mage, the effect of unfolding the coercion of spiritual power is very terrifying, and Robert is directly looked at by his eyes, and he feels that he is being targeted by an ancient giant beast.

Ines wanted to say something, but found that his throat was stuck by an invisible force, and he couldn't say a word.

"My lord, I ...... I say. Robert spoke with difficulty, he could scarcely resist the urge to surrender, "Yes, the baron! I went to handle it, and I found the puppeteer's contact, and I gave him the target of the assassination. My father had nothing to do with it. ”

"Good. It seems that you are a little more cooperative than your father. Xiao Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "If you want to save your life, you can only cooperate with us." ”

"Yes, yes, sir. ”

"Then tell me, who are your collaborators in the Tower of China?" Xiao Chen asked sharply.

"I don't know, I only know their middleman, a guy named Hall, his owner is Cole, I don't know who the Chinese behind them are. Robert tried to recall, for fear that he would speak too late and cause the other party to be dissatisfied.

"Cole?" said Kalanda, surprised, "what does he look like?"

Robert replied, "That's the Cole you thought of, the half-elf archer of the Blue Flame Mercenary Regiment." I've known him for a long time, and although I've met that Hall many times, he's always wearing a mask, and I don't know his true face. ”

Kalanda was a little anxious: "How could Cole be involved in such a thing? I obviously let him work at the school with peace of mind. ”

Xiao Chen comforted: "Don't worry, we can find out what is going on when we go back." Maybe he was just assigned. ”

Kalanda shook her head and said, "Leave me alone, it's just a bit unexpected." Look at this side first. ”

Xiao Chen asked several more questions about the operation of the nameless village. Robert replied one by one, and from what he said, he mainly carried out the baron's orders, and he did not do much harm himself.
