Chapter 191: My Master
Nothing special had happened since the two of them entered Gotaris, and the town in the heart of the Holy Alliance seemed ordinary in every way, and the people in the town were busy with their own lives, and they didn't show much concern for those who came from outside, so Lolo couldn't figure out who was eyeing them.
The creature on the roof moved very lightly, like a tanuki, and barely made any sound when he moved, but the dust falling from the beams betrayed his tracks, and he carefully lifted a roof tile and put his ear up, and he listened to the sound of breathing from the bed for a long time, and the sound was steady and regular, which meant that its owner was now asleep.
The uninvited guest managed to widen the hole large enough for his body to enter, then jumped down, crept to the bed, and stretched out his hand to the figure in the quilt.
However, the next moment, a long sword with cold light suddenly appeared on his neck.
"Don't move, this sword is sharp. Luo Luo said coldly.
At the same time, the figure on the bed also lifted the quilt, and the person lying inside was Rob, the future Super Magister lit a candle, and there was an additional masked man dressed in black in the room.
"I have no ill will. The masked man spoke, but it was a woman's voice, her accent slightly hoarse, and she raised her hand to indicate that she was not carrying any weapons.
Luo Luo was noncommittal, "Let me see your face." β
The masked man nodded, reached out and slowly pulled down the veil on his face, while lowering his voice, "Actually, we've seen it." β
"Is that you?" the girl was a little surprised when she saw each other's faces, because the masked man turned out to be the waitress in the tavern where the two had been in the afternoon, Lolo remembered her, her name was Sissi, she was in good shape, she came to Gotaris with her boyfriend two years ago to settle down, she got a job in the tavern, because of her sweet smile, she quickly became acquainted with everyone in the town, and there were no drinkers in the tavern who didn't know her, and Lolo also asked her about the Redbeard Inn and Gary.
"You're from the temple?" Lolo frowned.
Sissy shook her head, "I'm not your enemy, Miss Hatfilia, on the contrary, I've come tonight to risk coming here to warn you that you've touched a trap set by the church. β
"How do you know who I am?" said Lolo, who remembered well that she had never seen this woman named Sissi before, and that her appearance was disguised so that no one would be able to recognize her.
"Because of this. Sissy pointed to Lolo's staff, which was a distinctly different material a third of the way from the crystal, a mark of Rob's transformation from the Vasily Wood that Lolo had received from the mysterious teacher.
When the two first met, the future Super Magister was worried that the girl would be bent on power and would not be able to lay a solid foundation, so he did not tell her the true use of Vasily's Wood, until Luo Luo was promoted to a third-order mage and consolidated the foundation, Rob helped her install this thing on the staff, so that her magic elements were amplified, and now Luo Luo uses this staff to cast spells, and each magic can increase the power by about half.
"Vasily's Wood is very, very rare in the Dawn Continent. Sissi said leisurely.
Lolo was shocked when he heard this, "How did you know that I owned Vasily's Wood?"
"Because this thing was originally given to you by my master. Sissy blinked.
"Your master?" Lolo didn't expect that Gotaris hadn't gotten the diary left by Mama Bernice first, but had gotten the clues of the mysterious teacher first, she was excited, but her previous experience had taught her to be vigilant and cautiously optimistic, Lolo asked, "Is there anything other than Vasily's Wood that can prove your identity?"
"When you see my master, you will be able to prove what I say. Sissi paused, "It's dangerous in town right now, and the people from the temple may have set up surveillance nearby, so we must leave right now." β
"But I haven't gotten Grandma Bernice's diary yet. β
"There is no diary anymore. Sissi shook her head, " The real diary was burned by the church eighteen years ago, the current Gary is fake, Gotaris is a trap set by the temple, specifically to trap those who want to investigate the truth, you went to Gary and immediately went to inform the church, I came tonight to save you, you shouldn't have asked about the Redbeard Inn in the tavern, in fact, you had already touched the alarm at that time, this town is not as simple as it seems, I have lived here for two years, the original residents have disappeared a lot, and now this place is full of church eyeliners, come with me, although the city gate is closed, I have a way to take you out of the cityγ β
"But that's just your words. Lolo had completely calmed down, "You said Gotaris is a trap, how do I know that following you is not a trap?"
"You'll have to make a choice, Miss Hatfilia. Sissi said, "Two years ago, the master sent me here to wait for you, he thought that you might not believe me, so he also gave me something to prove my identity, but the environment here is more sinister than I expected, as an outsider, in order to protect myself, I have to throw away those things related to identity, otherwise I will not live now." β
Luo Luo was silent for a long time, "Who is your master, at least tell me the name." β
"I'm sorry, I can't be completely sure of your identity right now, not only you, this matter is actually risky for both of us, there is nothing more dangerous than going against the oldest and largest force in the human world, it's like dancing on the tip of a knife, and the slightest mistake will break your bones, so please forgive me for not being able to tell you his identity and name directly, just like you can't fully trust me now, I have doubts about you, but as soon as you and my master meet, you can immediately determine each other's identitiesγ β
Lolo glanced at Rob, who was standing by the window and looking downstairs while she was talking to Sissy, the street deserted and quiet in the dark.
His Excellency the future Ultra Magister retracted his gaze and spoke, "At least she didn't panic a little, we are indeed being watched. β
"Do you see anything?"
"Well, there's a group of people hiding in the house across the street, at least twelve, and seven or eight heavily armed guys in the grocery store next door, and a group of fellows dressed as travelers come into the inn at night, and they're living downstairs from us, but they don't seem to be asleep. β
