Chapter 12: The Dark Curtain (2)
Speeding up the precipitation of extraordinary properties is now something that Glerint can do as well, and by "exploiting", he can control the duration of a state to a certain extent.
Just now, for example, Deborah extended the time for him to "grab" this action, trying to control all his movements by restricting the movements of his hands, combined with the "restraint" imposed on Glerint when he hugged in the air before...... And the demigod who is also a "lawyer" path, if Deborah just changed her state, it would not be so easy for Glerint to counteract accordingly, but she chose to regulate Glelint's state...... He easily removes the restriction in reverse, but on the surface he pretends to be a "legal mage" and is unable to lift the restriction, and finally succeeds in sneaking up on her.
Half an hour later, estimating the time, Gleilynt had taken care of all traces and taken away the "Fallen Earl" trait that Deborah had precipitated.
The spirit realm has resumed interaction with this place, but he is long gone.
Gleilynt was right, and this was the time when Calvin encountered the "ancient scholars" of the Esoteric Order...... However, what he didn't expect was that Calvin did not have an angelic mark on his body, and although Zarathu's body did not arrive, he directly threw his consciousness through the hand of the "ancient scholar" - this is tantamount to doing it himself, so, similar to Deborah's death, Calvin was also successfully assassinated only two rounds later.
Unfortunately, Derlink Augustus was only an earthly angel in Sequence 2, and by the time he sensed Deborah's death and cast his sight, Calvin had already been dead for a while, and the enemy had already fled.
……
"Damn it!"
Drinker Augustus was a slightly arrogant old man, with black hair mixed with a lot of silver strands, meticulously combed, his face without a beard, and a deep black drape, looking old-fashioned and serious.
"The first time" noticed that Deborah had been assassinated, and he cursed.
And because Calvin was not marked, he did not know that he had the same ending, but only informed William Augustus I of Deborah.
The "protector" of the kingdom of Rune nodded without joy or anger:
"I see, you go to Tertnik and check it out for yourself...... Be careful, the enemy will be able to kill Deborah without alerting you at all, either the sequence is special, or the archangel is in touch, and you can keep in touch with us at all times. ”
Drinker nodded with a serious face, and with William's help, he descended directly on Tertnik.
For the archangel of the "Inquisitor" path, order is his springboard, and all order can become his imprint, and he only needs to adjust his own proportion in different spatial positions to achieve the purpose of shifting positions...... Similarly, there are loopholes in the "spatial location" that can be drilled, and the angels of the "Black Emperor" path can directly modify it to a certain extent.
Of course, these two methods are not very clever, and they are even far less efficient than "Traveler".
In contrast, Glerint controls the derivatives of the "Order World" (i.e., the Yellow Mist), and can ignore the real spatial distance, leap to the bright yellow world in one second, and descend to his destination in the next.
Tertnik, Deborah's private residence.
Drinker took a closer look, but unfortunately Glerint had plenty of time and handled it very carefully, and he found nothing. He then turned to the rebel war zone and found Basel...... Basel was a little surprised by his coming:
"What's going on? Your Excellency. ”
Drink, no, Augustus didn't trust Basel that much, he scrutinized the other party, and after a few seconds, to no avail, he controlled his emotions and said bluntly:
"Deborah was assassinated."
Immediately, Basel's heart tightened, he hadn't forgotten that Glerint had only inquired about her whereabouts a few days earlier.
"Do you have any clues?"
Drinker paused, stared at Basel and asked.
"Nope." Basel shook his head as indifferently as he could, inadvertently exonerating himself, "Neither she nor Calvin is in my hands. ”
Drinker nodded noncommittally, then asked:
"Calvin is the newly promoted 'fallen earl'? How do I find him? ”
He knew such a man, but he really didn't remember his name, and he didn't know as much as Calvin in terms of position, but he knew a little more about Glerinte Mariano, who had been in the limelight lately.
Basel gave the contact information, and consciously or unintentionally said:
"By the way, I have a piece of information here that might be useful."
"Oh? Let's talk about it! ”
"That's right, Your Excellency, I have received definite news that two months ago there was a Sequence 3 Sage of the Rose School who disappeared, his name is Zatwin...... Before that, as far as I know, Zatwyn had just met with Deborah and Calvin. ”
He stated truthfully, without giving any subjective speculation, but the misleading in his words was obvious...... Although Gleilint did not command, he was already quite conscious of the betrayal of Augustus.
"You mean the Rose School used them as a breakthrough to investigate Zatwin's whereabouts?"
Hearing this, Basel nodded affirmatively, and said slyly:
"It's a possibility."
He didn't have to be too sure, to show that he just dutifully gave an objective fact, and you have to judge for yourself what the truth is, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me.
Drinker was silent for a moment, then nodded with a silent face:
"In that case, Calvin should be in the same bad situation? Do you have any suggestions? ”
As for Deborah, he was able to find out where she was assassinated, but Calvin was only a newly promoted Sequence 4, and he didn't belong to the Augustan family in terms of identity, so he was more unlucky, and he hadn't been marked by any angels.
Basel shook his head decisively:
"I always contacted him through MI9...... The deputy head of the Southern Continent Division is Darnell, and he is much closer to Calvin, so you can try to ask him, but he has left his post in old age a few years ago, and he is just waiting for Major General Mariano to return and take over his duties these days, and he may not be able to help you. ”
"Glerin Mariano, the young new earl?" Drinker suddenly confirmed with interest.
"Yes...... Speaking of which, I am very optimistic about him, and some of his knighted exploits are still mine. Basel was as usual in his affirmation, not hiding his admiration for Gleilynt and his patronage – all of which are on the surface, and hidden in them is suspicious.
Drinker knew the name, half because Glerint was in the limelight some time ago, and the other half was because William and George III revealed a little news to him, and Glerint was suspected of being the resurrected successor of the former "Black Emperor" Russell.
However, this misunderstanding has been solved a few days ago, in fact, he is just a disguise deliberately released by the other party to attract attention, the truth is that Russell has another backhand, and it is uncertain who it is, but he has at least a demigod level, and also helped Russell's eldest daughter Bernadette become an angel.
Asked casually, Drink, as Basel had expected, didn't dwell on Glerint too much, and quickly turned to Calvin.
Unfortunately, although Calvin did a good job of secrecy, Darnell did not know that he had such an illegitimate child, but his mistresses did not deliberately hide it, and Drinker investigated the past one by one, and finally found the place where he was assassinated.
"Is this ...... 'flood of knowledge'?" Suddenly, Drinker snooped for a clue.
Doesn't it mean that it is likely to be the black hand of the Rose School?
He was stunned.
"Seals? Or is it a special extraordinary ability? ”
However, he was the first to exclude the most normal "sages" and "emperors of knowledge", because the "secret people" were not active in the southern continent, nor did they have interests with Rune and the Augustan family...... And this kind of petty action can't be the promotion ceremony of the "Emperor of Knowledge" no matter how you look at it.
In an uncertain situation, he did not succeed and immediately informed William Augustus I of the situation.
Soon, William descended on the projection.
"This is where Calvin was assassinated?"
His voice was not grand, but it was breathtaking with its supreme majesty.
"Yes, but the other party deliberately handled the scene, and I only saw the traces of the 'torrent of knowledge'...... I don't know if it was deliberately misleading us, or if we didn't have time to deal with it. ”
William Augustus I's eyes were half-open, his eyes were not angry, and he glanced at it seemingly plain and casual, but he soon smelled something that Drinker had not noticed, he frowned, and whispered:
"The rotten taste of ancient history, huh!
"Let's go, lead the way, and see where Deborah died."
"Yes."
Drinker agreed, took William's phantom, and soon came to Deborah's private residence.
"Huh? It's ......"
The "protector" of the Kingdom of Rune, the archangel who has always been calm and majestic, suddenly raised his eyelids completely, his expression inadvertently revealed a trace of longing, and he couldn't help but let out a silent cry in his heart:
"Traces left by the orderly!"
Glerint's plan to dump the pot didn't work out.
Tomorrow is Saturday, usually I shouldn't have time to update, I have to passively release pigeons, but recently the epidemic in Chengdu is serious, I may get off work early tomorrow, so let's talk about it later~
