Chapter 54: Shadow Killing
When Aree returned to the Black Seat, the rest of the team had not yet returned from the deepwater training ground, and the entire tower was just him and a ghost maid.
Before a cup of boiling water from pomegranate leaves arrived, he heard the sound of the axles running in with the neighing of horses, and six senior officials of the arbitration department lined up in two columns and followed an old man into the hall.
This old man, who was none other than the gloomy-looking Minister Claudius, saw that the black knight was standing opposite him with a glass of water, and he squeezed out a "vicious" smile:
"In order to put an end to this disaster, I have to investigate the whole thing. ”
"Of course I'm fully cooperative. Yalei craned his neck to finish the boiling water, handed the glass to the ghost maid, and made a gesture of going upstairs to talk slowly.
After leading the seven people into the chamber dedicated to the Black Seat, three people, including Minister Claudius, sat down, and then began to take turns asking questions, while the other two took notes and two observed. Starting from the reason for going to the Lake of Mist, to the situation of the surrounding people when he appeared at the Dome, and finally to the question of Charried's identity.
"We already have a general idea of Charlide's situation, and he may have kept the Old Testament scriptures in his possession, or perhaps he ......," said Minister Claudius, whose voice grew deeper, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Arley with his eyes:
"With the blessing of the Lord, you have inadvertently made the right choice, and in the eastern part of the Empire, only the Obelisk has the resources and technology to suppress this Doomsday Egg. ”
"So, the appearance of that egg was really a prophecy of the Witch Merry?" asked Are, stammering.
The witch's prophecy...... It does have a unique level of accuracy. The old man acquiesced to this statement, and then looked at the entourage, and when he saw that everyone was silent, he got up from his seat:
"Remember the non-disclosure agreement, this matter must not be leaked, and we will take care of the rest. ”
"I understand. The Black Knight stood up at the same time and politely escorted them out of the chamber.
After sending off the personnel of the arbitration department, Lydia, Bruno and others, who had returned from the deep-water training ground for a while, and Nicole and his wife, who had just returned from the Lake of Mist, rushed over and asked nonsense:
"How did the arbitration department find you?
"You can't be the one who snatched the ice goblin egg from the Lake of Mist, right?"
"Have you been punished, why did you come back first without saying a word?"
"Shhhhh......h ”
"Cut, stingy. The crowd dispersed in a huff.
Seeing him walking in the direction of the door, Lydia frowned, "It's so late, where are you going?"
"At the deep water training ground, I need to calm down and get familiar with the techniques I just learned. The Black Knight paused at his feet, and then disappeared into the darkness of the night.
The seat of emptiness at this time.
"You mean, that black boy was caught by the Arbitration Department?" said Elencia with great interest, putting down the quill pen, looking straight out the window with beautiful eyes, and sighing with a little regret:
"I hope something doesn't happen to this guy, there aren't many decent opponents left. ”
In front of her, a beautiful girl with a long pink color blinked her eyes and said slowly, "I don't think it's okay, Minister Claudius didn't take him away." ”
"I hope so......" The woman subconsciously shook her head, as if realizing that this action lost her majesty, so she smiled lightly at the girl:
"It's getting late, you can go back. ”
"Well, I'll take my leave. The other party bowed slightly and stepped out.
Leaving the stone gate of the empty seat, Sophia strolled on the road back to her bedroom, looking a little sluggish, and getting along with a bunch of monsters every day was too stressful for her.
Come on, don't give up, and try to please Eroncia and let her know her abilities and ambitions...... As a civilian without any background, with the strength of the Wittelsbach family, it is possible to go further in the future.
This young girl's major is law, and her appearance is also a first-class beauty, but she has the ideal of politics, and in a way she has great ambitions, but she is a little eager for quick success.
For Sophia, it is too slow to go step by step, as a commoner without the slightest political context, if she wants to occupy a place in the Senate, the most optimistic will take more than 30 years of hard work.
It's been too long, and I'm not pretty anymore in thirty years -- that's what the girl's inner monologue looks like,
She wants to enter the Senate at the age of her prime, accept the praise and support of everyone as a rising star in politics, and make a name for herself after her achievements......
Therefore, some sacrifices are worth it, even at the cost of one's own body.
At first, Sophia's goal is Geneviv, but the man only has his sister in his eyes and has a habit of cleanliness. Immediately afterward, she turned her attention to Nannet, who was taciturn, very difficult to get along with, and probably an X cold. Clio is too weak as a second seat, and his strength is also at the bottom...... He is the only male second...... It's better than nothing, so give it a try!
Just when the girl made up her mind to seduce Cleo, by chance, she met the real person of Elencia...... In just an instant, a heart melted in the other party's bright smile......
The female seat is born with a slender figure, dressed handsomely and unpretentiously, the style of doing things is capable and spicy, but the eyebrows are full of intoxicating girlish style, which is combined with the charm of transgender in her.
Unfortunately, Sophia fell in love with her...... However, this girl has not forgotten her ideals, and in the same way, she does not mind dedicating herself to brushing up her favor...... It's a pity that the other party doesn't seem to have a hobby in that area.
Secretly cheering herself up, she walked along the road to the door of the swimming pool, asked for a wardrobe key from the front desk, and entered the locker room.
Swimming is Sophia's main way to relieve stress, regardless of winter and summer, swimming exercise has given her a good figure at the same time, and by the way, she has a healthy body and abundant energy.
She was wearing a one-piece swimsuit, gently touching her smooth feet to the water, and her whole body couldn't help but shudder:
"Shhh
Sophia took a deep breath and kicked her legs hard, leaping six feet into the air before plunging straight down into the water, a diving skill she had honed.
At first, the water in the pool was very cold, but as the girl swam a few laps, her body gradually warmed up, because the weather was still cold and it was night, and there were fewer and fewer people in the pool......
"Whew!" she jerked out of the water, wiping the stains from her face until she was the only one left in the pool.
"Two more laps!" Sophia was not yet happy and reluctant to leave the pool.
There are no people around, so she feels like a fish in water, sometimes facing the sky and slowly backswimming, sometimes diving into the water and swimming sharply, sometimes learning to frog and breaststroke.
For some reason, after these two laps, the girl's body was not warm, but her lips were blue from the cold.
What's going on? Am I getting worse?
"Boom-" There was thunder outside, lightning flashed across the sky, and the shadows of distant buildings were reflected on the walls, startling Sophia.
It's too cold, we have to go back quickly!
The girl swam towards the edge of the pool, and when she was about to swim to the shore, a cold touch suddenly pressed on the inner thigh, and she immediately shrank into a ball, and screamed:
"Who!"
At this time, a dark cloud happened to cover the bright moon, accompanied by a loud thunder, and the crystal dome flickered with scales.
The swimming pool became very quiet, except for the rumbling thunder outside the window and the sound of the pool flowing.
Sophia settled her panicked mind and swam to the shore, shouting as hard as she could: "Is there anyone?
The girl's sweet, frightened voice echoed in the empty room, and there was no response for a long time.
After a few minutes, she was stunned, no matter how desperately she swam forward, the handrail on the shore was obviously close at hand, and she couldn't reach it.
Why...... Why is this happening?
A cold gust of wind struck and smashed the windows on the south side of the pool, and the dense rainwater poured into the room wantonly, and every qiē looked like a lifeless pale gray, and the repeated monotonous sound of dripping in her ears made Sophia even more restless.
A drop of cold water flowed into the girl's left eye, and she quickly lowered her head to wipe off the water stains on her face, but the moment she raised her head, she saw a face in a trance.
A strange woman.
A woman whose facial expression is extremely distorted.
The woman's pale face and expression of extreme horror floated in mid-air, like a mirror, and fear clutched her throat tightly, and she couldn't speak.
Sophia covered her mouth with one hand, while the other hand was trembling against her heart, her eyes filled with fear and despair.
After a long time...... None of the images in mid-air moved......
The face opposite the girl now seemed to be her own, and she tried to stick out her tongue, and sure enough, the other side also stuck out her tongue......
It must be a prank by some mage apprentice! I'm going to kill him!
Sophia breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, suddenly a voice rang out...... Creak... Bones... Boom Rumble......
She was startled, and the voice was so loud that it almost sounded like a moan. The air in the entire room was shaken, and the source of the sound was the center of the pool behind him.
The girl felt that the air was getting heavier and heavier, and there was a cold gaze - I don't know where it was, staring at her so hard that cold sweat kept breaking out of her spine.
She turned her head stiffly, unable to take her eyes off it, and the center of the pool was spilling out, dark red, bubbling bubbles of various sizes, emitting an unpleasant, sweet smell that looked like plasma.
Sophia stayed there, and involuntarily screamed in her throat:
"Ahh!!h
With the girl's cry, the plasma sprayed up the dome like a volcanic eruption, and a huge wave with a disgusting smell crushed her......
"Save ...... Help!"
There was a terrifying suction pulling her now, and the fishy liquid kept choking into her lungs, no matter how she struggled, her body was still slowly dragged towards the pool, and her ears were full of the huge moans like thunder.
"Save ......!"
The girl's slender arms emerged from the water like a dying struggle, and then ...... Slowly sinking ......
Bang dang!
The iron door to the pool was opened, and a staff member walked in:
"Is there anyone else? The pool will close immediately. ”
He looked around carefully, and didn't see any figures, so he touched his head in annoyance: "What about the little girl who often comes to swim? Is she gone? The key hasn't been returned to me......?"
