Chapter 372: Snow Castle's Request
Of course, Ma Lina would not answer Su Wen's last question, and Su Wen naturally would not explain some things to Ma Lina that were not suitable for her to know, and the two remained silent in the snow.
Su Wen didn't feel sleepy, just looked at the scenery in the distance and thought about some questions. Although while thinking about the problem, he was also curious about why Marlena was standing here.
However, after waiting for a while, Su Wen realized that Marlena was waiting for Warrent after the meeting.
David, an old magician who is one of Warrent's right-hand men, wearing clothes that look a little thin compared to his age, also came to this platform, and when he saw Su Wen, David was obviously stunned, and after saying hello to Su Wen, he told her the news that Warrent had finished the meeting and sometimes met Marlena indirectly.
Since it was someone else's housework, Su Wen didn't need to worry about it, just stood on the platform for a while and returned to his bedroom.
Su Wen felt a little guilty about Amar and Daniel, who died because of him, as well as the more than forty victims of the academy who died out of their interest in "watching the play". But this feeling of guilt came a little weakly, so that Su Wen only had a little bit of emotions like "anger". More than that, it is a pity for Amar and Daniel.
After all, Amar and Daniel are the people they have come into contact with. And those forty or so people are just a string of numbers for him.
Some heavy numbers.
Ellie didn't pester herself like she did before boarding the battleship to ask when she would go back to Shetton's grandmother's house, probably going to bed early because of a tiring day. What had happened in the past few days and the fatigue accumulated over the past few days had finally been eliminated today, and Su Wen naturally didn't bother Ellie.
It's just that what Su Wen didn't expect was that not long after he returned to the dormitory, Warrent, the Duke of Snow Castle, actually knocked on the door of his bedroom and invited him to have a night tea.
When knocking on Su Wen's door, Warrent also seemed a little unscored, after all, he didn't know if Su Wen had fallen asleep or had been woken up by someone. But after seeing the letter sent by Emperor Maleno, Volrent had many reasons why he had to bother Su Wen.
Su Wen did not refuse.
There were only a few people who participated in this small tea party, and they were all people whose names Su Wen could name.
Warrent, David, Xiwen, and Marina, and Rosen, who was not very impressed by Su Wen.
Before Su Wen came, several people probably had a preliminary discussion, and this time they invited Su Wen over, probably because there was something that needed to trouble Su Wen.
"Mr. Su Wen, it's so late, thank you for still coming over......" Warrent bowed slightly to Su Wen and went straight to the point: "To be honest, before you arrived, an urgent secret message from Your Majesty had just arrived." I already know what happened in the academy and His Majesty's next policy. Of course, Mr. Su Wen was also mentioned in the report......"
"Hmm. Su Wen nodded and motioned for Warrent to continue.
However, even Warrent, after learning about a few things Su Wen had done, couldn't organize his language well at this time, probably because of exhaustion or distraction caused by stress?
"What does my father mean, here in Snow Castle, can I please help you?" added Marlena duly.
"What a help. Su Wen did not refuse, but asked the reason.
In Su Wen's consideration, what was said in the confidential document was nothing more than some things about the Ancient Demon Sect, and at most there were a few sentences of information about Su Wen. Su Wen didn't know what they thought of themselves, so Su Wen didn't know anything about the content mentioned in the intelligence, whether it was a "lucky technical talent" or "a strong man who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger".
Warrent, the high-level members of the Snow Castle family, have all experienced Su Wen's momentum. So Warrent, probably because of his own considerations.
"Mr. Su Wen...... "Warrent's eldest son, Marina's half-brother, and Barlot's own brother, Rosen, took over the conversation, and after receiving Warrent's answer, he said: "You probably don't know the information from the snow castle...... About a few months ago, the activity of monsters outside the Great Wall of the North suddenly became active, and on the contrary, the number of caravans from the northern countries also decreased a lot. Because the location of the monsters was irregular and could not be constructed on a large scale, at that time, only a few adventurers were attracted to ......."
Su Wen thought for a moment, at that time, it seemed that there were indeed some adventurers rushing to the snow castle.
"After investigation, it was found that in the no-man's land outside the national border, there seems to be a phenomenon of monsters descending...... However, this conclusion is only a preliminary inference. Because there were no real witnesses, the later caravans were all rerouted to the south, and even they had no information available. ”
"But. Rosen's nervousness at the beginning gradually became handy, and his expression became much more serious: "Since the fall of the strong man in the royal city, Lord Eden, the activities of the Ancient Demon Sect have also become frequent. In the snow castle, the phenomenon of the activities of the ancient demon cultists has also been discovered, but nothing has been done yet. Combined with things beyond the national border, it is also possible for the Ancient Demon Sect to take action against the Snow Castle......"
Su Wen nodded slightly, thought about it for a while, and then connected these things together, and then followed Rosen's words, and continued: "So Duke, you sent a black ......"
"Ahem. Marlena coughed unnaturally suddenly.
“...... The Men in Black protect Marlena and Barot for this reason, too?"
Warrent nodded.
After thinking about it, Su Wen realized that Eden's death had so many things involved...... It stands to reason that behind Eden's position, there should be a lot of alternates, so it won't cause such a big chain reaction if Eden dies, right?
However, according to the character of Eden, it is still possible to hold power, focus on increasing his influence and be loyal to the emperor. On the other hand, not anyone can reach the strength of the diamond level, so Eden's successor has not appeared for a long time, and the current one is only in name and has not been recognized by the public.
"And then?"
Warrent picked up the cup, took a sip, and said, "Snow Castle will send an investigation team in the next few days, with Rosen as the deputy leader......"
"So Su Wen, can you help take care of my brother......" Ma Lina said, after speaking, she felt that something was wrong, so she added a "Mr. Su Wen" stubbornly.
"Yes. Su Wen nodded, took out a bone fragment from his pocket, threw it to Lawson, and said: "This is a protective prop, as long as it is activated, you can ignore attacks below the diamond level, and the continuous effect should last for a few days, you can just look at it." ”
Rosen hurriedly reached out and grabbed the bone fragment, and as soon as he touched it, he was frightened by the surging magic contained in the bone fragment. Such terrifying fluctuations in magic power were almost comparable to the magic cannon arrays he had seen before. Rosen couldn't have imagined that it was just the magic contained in a piece of bone.
"Mr. Su Wen, this ......"
"Ah, because I don't know if I have time, I have to ask Ellie, Ellie, she probably wants to go home, after all, it's been so long......" Su Wen explained seriously.
“......”
This reason made everyone present a little speechless, and David even leaned next to Rosen, looking at the unreasonable piece of bone with his eyes blank. For this old man with good attainments in magic, it is also a kind of luck to be able to see such a magical prop.
It's just that David was surprised that this kind of priceless treasure was actually thrown to Rosen by Su Wen......
"After all, that's what suits the setting. Su Wen noticed David's appearance and smiled: "The report probably mentioned that I used the magical props in the ancient ruins, right?"
Warrent was silent, because in that report, Su Wen's incident was indeed mentioned, but at the end of the explanation, a "doubtful" was added.
