Chapter 91: A Reasoning
"The white fog seems to have thinned. Xiao Chen saw the outline of the house faintly appear on the left and right.
"What's that?" Caterina pointed to a fork in the road on their side, orange-red hues peeking out of the white mist.
"It's fire! It's possible that Tasia is fighting. Let's go in that direction!" Xiao Chen and Caterina rushed towards the place where the fire was jumping, and the layers of fog with the smell of smoke receded around, Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly brightened,
He saw two men standing together in the midst of the raging fire. The one in front was none other than Tasia, and behind was a middle-aged man, who strangled her shoulders with one hand and held the dagger against her neck with the other.
When Tasia saw Xiao Chen and Caterina coming, her face was happy at first, but immediately turned anxious, and she shouted: "Xiao Chen, don't listen to Sancho, no matter what he says......"
The middle-aged man squeezed hard, stuck her words in his neck, and said to Xiao Chen: "As she said, I am Sancho, Your Excellency Xiao Chen, I have known you for a long time, but this is the first time you have seen me." ”
"Sancho, so you're the haunted one. What the hell are you trying to do kidnapping Miss Tasia today?"
"Miss!" Belia rushed out of the mist in the other direction, and when she saw Tasia being kidnapped, she exclaimed, and as she tried to get closer to Tasia, she shouted, "Don't hurt Miss!"
"Woman, stand still in your current position, or I will not be able to bear a few marks on your young lady. Sancho's dagger moved slightly, and more blood flowed down Tasia's neck.
"Whoever you are, do you know what you're doing?! this is a declaration of war against the Alonso family!" Belia roared, but when she saw the red blood, she didn't dare to go any further.
"I just want to talk to sane people. Master Xiao Chen, I think you should be calmer than that woman. ”
"Say what you ask. Xiao Chen took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
"My request is simple, confess your secret, let me know who you really are, I mean, behind the identity of the Black Mountain Mage, you have a more important identity. Sancho stared at Xiao Chen, as if he was hiding behind a mask.
"You Shadow Troupe people, do you work by guessing puzzles?" Xiao Chen asked rhetorically, "I don't have any secret identity. ”
"Of course there is, and I've got my own guess, you just have to admit it. ”
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I can't tell a secret that doesn't exist at all. ”
Sancho let out a rare laugh, and he patted Tasia's pretty face: "If not, what was this young lady nervous about just now?"
"Put down your dirty hands!" Xiao Chen shouted, "You are actually embarrassed to say! Any decent young lady will feel extremely nervous when she is hijacked by a villain like you." ”
Sancho picked up the dagger and wiped it on Tasia's face, and the blood stains on the dagger drew an arc on her face: "Quiet! You know, I've been eyeing you since Montenegro. You people appear inexplicably, and every part of your body is out of place in this world.
And when you appeared, you quickly revealed a good amount of magical power. In this case, naturally, we are the Shadow Troupe's concerns.
But the men I sent to you are dead. You say, "How could I not check you?" I am determined to find out all about you. ”
Sancho's dagger kept moving between Tasia's neck and face, but his mouth was unhurried: "I quietly observe in the shadows, slowly collecting evidence." I found out that the house you appeared in is Matthew Doria's house, and although this guy was a member of the Tower of God Refining back then, it is rumored that he has obtained the inheritance of the Tower of Dreams. I've found out that when you fight, you're best at using mental magic, and I've also investigated your conflict with Mage Perrin, and it seems that as soon as you appeared, that old fellow in Icasar took you very seriously. I came to the Imperial Capital with you again, and found that you and Kona of the Tower of God Refining also quickly established a relationship, and the origin of the Tower of God Refining ...... Or the Tower of Dreams.
Then there's this ......" Sancho patted Tasia in the face with his dagger, "Miss Tasia, the pearl of the Magic Society, the daughter of the Alonso family, a haughty woman who never takes care of people casually, is quickly involved with you. Today, regardless of your identity, you are willing to be a bait and help you, what kind of charm do you have that can make these people pay attention to you?"
It wasn't until she shouted at you not to say anything that my guess finally came to fruition. What could make the Alonso family so nervous?There is only one possibility, your problems are so big that even they are afraid, and the biggest possibility is the relationship with the Tower of Dreams, you are the heir of the Tower of Dreams!"
Xiao Chen had a premonition that the other party would say something when he heard half of it, so when Sancho shouted out the Tower of Dreams, he tried his best to control his expression, and he said without moving: "You made up a good story." ”
Sancho said: "Your acting skills are so bad. If you really have nothing to do with the Tower of Dreams, you will be confused, strange, and even curious when you hear what I just said, but it is impossible to be indifferent. Your expression...... It just shows that I'm right. ”
Sancho caught a trace of surprise from Xiao Chen's face again, and said more confidently: "Admit it." Admit that I am the heir of the Tower of Dreams, tell me what happened, and I will be able to spare this woman!"
At this time, Xiao Chen saw a figure slowly appearing behind Sancho, it was Roger, he had come to the neighborhood at some point, and was slowly approaching them while Sancho was proudly analyzing.
Xiao Chen was ready to buy him some more time, so he said: "These inferences of yours are all nonsense, and I can find other reasons for every inference you say." If you were really sure, you would have reported it to the Shadow Regiment headquarters a long time ago, but right now, no one else cares about your speculation. ”
"It doesn't matter, as long as I find real evidence......" Sancho was halfway through his words as Roger behind him lunged at him, followed by Belea, who was in front of him, and Roger flanked Sancho back and forth.
However, Sancho seemed to have been prepared, and with a strange dodge, Roger and Belia both pounced.
Sancho's strength was obviously higher than Roger's, even if he held a person hostage, he was still very flexible, he moved sideways to avoid Roger's reflexive attack, and his fighting spirit exploded under his feet, passing over a wall of fire that was about to burn out, and floated directly backwards seven or eight meters.
He stood still through the flames, picked up the dagger and stabbed Tasia in the shoulder: "You brought it on yourself!"
