Chapter 111: The Truth
"Hehe, don't be too surprised, I know more than you think. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Philip glanced at Barr's panicked look with satisfaction and smoothed his beard, and Philip began to explain the reason to Barr.
"Your clever deception is a fatal flaw, and that is that you don't know anything about magic! I only need to see through your lies, and then the reason why you and Gloria are together will be clear. ”
Looking at the confident Philip, Barr finally stopped trembling. The instinct of the ups and downs of the business sea for many years told him that the old magician in front of him had seen through everything, and if he continued to pretend to be afraid, once he aroused the disgust of the other party, he would be looking for his own death.
"What do you have to ask? I know everything, but the ugly words are ahead, and I am also a deceived, so I don't know much. ”
Seeing that Barr still had a victim expression, Philip snorted coldly and began to become serious.
"Tell me, why did Gloria conspire with you, and how did you two meet?"
"I don't know. Don't look at me like that, I really don't know! I started talking about it from a month ago......"
Seeing that Philip's face was not good, Barr hurriedly told the magician who was about to get angry about everything he knew, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
"About a month ago, a strange guy came to my chamber office, and I later learned that he was the infamous necromancer. He told me that there was a way to help me take the property that Eva's mother had left to Eva at the cost of taking an orb from the treasury. ”
"At first I thought he was a liar, but I had heard about the secret property that Eva's mother had left Eva. But since the woman had already made arrangements, and I couldn't find the secret location of the treasure, and my career had been thriving in the past few years, this treasure was not very important to me. ”
"But the man told me that the treasure trove was far more rich than I could have imagined. And promise to take only one thing from it when the help is done! In the meantime they will assist me in helping to hide from your law enforcement team and other nobles. When he showed me what he was capable of, I was tempted and started working with him. Because he told me that only Eva and her grandmother knew the spell to open the treasure house, and that the whole area of Roland City was under your surveillance, and that you would monitor the use of magic. ”
Speaking of this, Barr glanced at Philip in awe.
"After listening to his words, I wanted to give up the cooperation, because I didn't want to be your enemy. But Gloria told me that Philip was arrogant and that the younger generation of talent in the academy was withering. As long as I cooperate with him, I will be able to easily get Eva and her grandmother, one of the two, out of your surveillance range. ”
"Driven by profits, we started to work together. First of all, I deliberately leaked the murder of Eva to Eva, and then left a loophole for her to escape. Then pretend that she is renting out to escape the marriage, and hire you to hunt it down. The plan was perfect, but we have to say that Lucas was an accident! None of us expected the items left by Eva's mother to have this effect. After the project began, I took Eva's grandmother out while the students were on their journey, and along the way, in order to avoid being discovered by the academy, I have been careful to avoid your surveillance. ”
"So where is Eva's grandmother now? Did another magician snatch her away in the early hours of yesterday morning when I had no time to take care of her?"
After listening to Barr's explanation, Philip did not get angry because of Barr's words, but after sorting out his thoughts, he calmed down and continued to ask.
This was somewhat unexpected, and the legendary mage was known for his fiery temper and violent methods.
It is said that when he was a young cultivator, he happened to pass by a village, and learned from the survivors that it had just been slaughtered by a wave of bandits, and in a fit of rage, one person went up the mountain and wiped out thousands of people in the bandits' nest!
Since this incident, since Philip was a master of the Sculpting Department, and especially had a great love for fire spells, he was dubbed 'Burst of Fire' by his peers, and this title is still used to this day after he reached the legendary level.
"That's right. In the early hours of yesterday morning, a mysterious magician suddenly appeared in my room and snatched Eva's grandmother before I could say anything. It only took a few breaths, and I didn't have time to react. ”
Speaking of this, Baal also showed a look of regret, he originally thought that the other party was just a few wandering mages who were greedy for money, but he didn't expect that the other party was a madman who even the famous legendary mages dared to provoke! And judging from the current situation, it seems that he has successfully calculated Philip.
"That's all, nothing else?"
"No, I've told you all I know. ”
After answering this question, Barr looked at Philip vigilantly and secretly took a few steps back, for fear that the other party would suddenly claim his life.
After these few days, Barr has fully realized the horror of the magician, just like he doesn't really want to answer the other party's questions at all. But instinct tells Barr that there are countless ways to know things from him, and many of these methods can make him feel worse than life and death!
Philip, however, sat still, as if he were thinking about a headache.
After a long time, he stood up and walked to the window, looked at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, and said, "Although Roland City exists because of our academy, it is now a city of learning, a free city-state that is not interfered with by any force. The crime you committed occurred in Roland City, and you are a Roland native, so this time I decided to hand over the case of the joint necromancer conspiring to murder my adopted daughter, and I decided to hand it over to the Roland City Jury. ”
Barr, who was looking down at the ground, suddenly felt relieved when he heard this, and his originally nervous body finally stopped trembling. After a long sigh of relief, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, ready to say a few nice words to thank Philip for raising his noble hand.
"Put away your ass! I'm just doing this to preserve the Violet Academy's thousand-year-old reputation. ”
Philip turned away in disgust, and commanded as he walked past Barr without looking at him.
"I have one condition, you must obey! as long as you don't tell the necromancer, the rest of the lies can be fulfilled however you want, and I will arrange the people of the council. ”
"Yes. ”
As if he hadn't seen Philip's expression of disgust, Barr pressed his head deep into the ground and continued to kneel.
The fat back of his head obscured his expression, and Philip didn't see the smile on Barr's face as he complied with his orders. Disdain and ecstasy were contained in his smile, and Baal knew better than anyone that he had escaped!
"Take all your salutes and go back to Roland City at once! ”
"Uh...... Roger that. ”
At the moment when his confidence returned to Baal's face, Philip's angry voice was heard in the air again, which frightened Baal into a hurry to act, for fear that he would be reprimanded by this grumpy mage again if he took a step too slowly.
And the servants around him, who were very amused to see the changing expressions on their master's face, forced a smile and helped him pack his luggage.
