Chapter 159: Branches
"Warren, this is a bit strange, isn't it the Light of Shelter who has discovered the location of the psionic monsters?" Tarrant was very skeptical of the Empire's attitude towards the whole thing, "Why is the current progress being kept secret from the Light of Protection?" ”
Warren held hands and invited the two of them to sit down, his eyes slowly scanning the entire office with alertness, "This is a decision between the higher-ups, I have no right to intervene, the head of the Shelter Light should have been notified to stop the investigation of the Psicosucking Monster incident." ”
"What?!" Tarrant propped up on his desk, the Empire not only did not announce the results of the Sheltered Light, but also demanded the end of the investigation, it was ridiculous, "It's not over yet!"
Warren looked at him calmly, "What's the evidence?"
"The Spirit Sucker Lair of Cuilin Mountain has a teleportation array!"
"Teleportation array?" the word didn't touch Warren's nerves, "That nest has been buried, who knows but you?"
Katrina whispered, "And my ......"
The eyes of the two turned to her and immediately returned to their gaze, "Didn't the other lairs find the teleportation array?" Tarrant believed that the other lairs must have found similar discoveries, and teleportation was the main way to migrate the spirits.
"Sorry, as far as I know, no," Warren said, taking out his quill and placing it in a different direction.
His attitude showed that he wouldn't say anything even if he knew, and he was much more stubborn than Mark in carrying out the demands of the higher-ups, Tarrant sighed and sat down, "Okay, there's another thing going on in Cuilin Mountain", Warren looked at him, "The spirit sucks the monster and controls a mage, we missed and injured him, and before he died, he gave me a letter and entrusted me to hand it over to you", Tarrant took out the letter from his pocket.
The strangely colored envelope made Warren lean out and pick up the letter, crumpled and shriveled, and he glanced at Tarrant.
"Last night's rainstorm," Tarrant explained helplessly.
Warren noticed the unstamped envelope on the back of the letter, twisted his eyebrows slightly, he turned the letter again, stared at the handwriting on the surface of the envelope, and instantly opened the drawer and put the letter in, "Thank you."
"No need to ......", his expression seemed to have anticipated the arrival of this letter, making this thank you sound sad, and Tarrant said regretfully, "That mage was hit in the waist and stayed in the Spirit Sucker's lair for too long, and his whole body began to shrink. ”
"The unfortunate man ......", a brief sympathy appeared on Warren's face.
The office fell silent, Tarrant had hoped to get some more guidance from this senior, Warren had provided him with advice and help very professionally, but now he seemed a little strange and cold, maybe it was an order from the upper echelons of the Empire, or some other reason, he had changed too much.
"By the way," Tarrant brought up another topic, "On the way from Watt Town, we walked through that forest, and there was a guard who forbade us to pass and claimed that it was private territory?"
Warren glanced up at the map, "Someone bought a piece of land in the woods. ”
It seemed that this was true, so there was nothing to pursue, and Tarrant's gaze stopped on the table, and the office fell into an awkward silence again.
Katrina looked at Tarrant boredly, and asked in her eyes: What are we waiting for?
Tarrant stood up playfully, "So...... We took our leave. ”
Warren nodded, "Please." ”
The two walked out of the office towards the teleportation station, and Katrina asked curiously, "He seemed frustrated when he put the letter away." ”
That expression Tarrant understood as heavy, the content of the letter must be important, Warren did not open it in front of them, "Warren has changed a lot, I always feel that something happened to him." ”
"Hmm...... I didn't notice it, it was the same cold look last time", Katrina saw the instructions of the teleportation station and quickened her pace, "I'm finally going home, hahaha." ”
It was about three o'clock in the afternoon when he teleported back to Siant, and when Tarrant was dizzy, he actually smelled the familiar sour smell, the lime wine he drank last night, he leaned on the chair to adjust his breathing, and when he slowly calmed down, he found that there was really a glass ......of lime wine on the table, Siant, lime wine?
"Hey, Tarrant, I didn't expect to meet you here", the waitress smiled sweetly, "Are you still busy with the spirit sucking monsters? Are there any new discoveries? You must have met your opponent, the armor is broken, what kind of beast?"
A curiosity, the name of this waitress had been heard last night, and her name was ...... Tarrant asked uncertainly, "Sheryl?"
"Hahaha, you remember me", Cheryl handed over the glass, "I must have never tasted my special lime wine, try it." ”
Tarrant took the cup, "Why are you here?" I heard...... You've left Watttown with a mage. ”
"Hehe, that mage is here," Sheryl gave the mage beside him a wonderful look.
"Tarrant", Taylor revealed a robe that looked like a dress, maybe it was a dress, "It's been a long time since I've seen you teleport, and there's always no shortage of beautiful ladies around you." ”
Katrina propped herself up on Tarrant, "Isn't there a shortage?"
"He likes to joke, don't worry, there's no such thing around me......" Tarrant hurriedly explained.
"Oh?" said Taylor, smirking mischievously, "Last time, I saw a brunette, plump, tall brunette following you," he said aloud.
"......" Tarrant stood up, "Taylor, no faith doesn't mean you can violate morality...... Hey, could it be ......" Tarrant looked at Taylor and Sheryl incredulously, "You're the charismatic mage of the legend of Watt Town?!"
"Aha", Taylor's smug laugh almost drew eyes from outside the street, "Do they say that about me?"
Sherrill leaned on his shoulder and smiled happily, "Tarrant, try my wine." ”
"It's hard to imagine, a teleporter who doesn't do his job", Tarrant picked up his glass, "the lime wine is excellent, I tried it last night, the people in town miss you so much, thank you for the wine", he saluted to Taylor and Sheryl, "bless you." ”
Taylor put his arm around Sheryl's waist, "I hope you can get rid of that irascible mage's influence, too." ”
"Grumpy Mage?!" Katrina glared at Tarrant, "Does he have a Grumpy Mage teammate?"
"Hahaha, miss, didn't you know that Tarrant has a mage girlfriend from the Academy?" Taylor laughed like an idiot.
The temperature in the room was not high, but Tarrant felt a fever all over his body, an unpleasant heat accumulated in his armor, and he coughed dryly, "Taylor, let me introduce you, this is Katrina...... Research institute...... of the mage ......"
The smile of joy immediately withered, and the teleporter let out an awkward breath and said softly to Sheryl, "...... Honey, help me get a cup of lime, there are always so many people at the teleportation station, the air is too stuffy", he lowered his head and rubbed his lower lip, and quietly gave Tarrant an extremely guilty look, "Huh...... It's been a busy day, with so many people waiting to teleport, I ...... I'm out of company first", and without waiting for a reply, he left quickly.
"Grumpy mage, haha," Katrina smirked.
"He likes to joke, don't worry", Tarranta crumbled the collar of his armor, forgetting that it was armor and not a dressing gown, "I never mentioned you", his gaze met Caterina's stern gaze, more thorough than lime wine, "...... All right...... Occasionally mentioned ...... once or twice," and he was ready to be punished by God.
Catrina didn't move, turned and walked out, "Don't let me see you again." ”
