Chapter 349: The Intruder in the Office
In the office of the Wizard Alliance, Katie Maggie brought a teapot full of black tea as usual, her big chocolate-colored eyes hid behind her oval glasses and blinked, she slowly poured the black tea, straightened the clerk's white uniform, and stood by with a smile like a waitress in a restaurant.
Ivan looked up at her stupid smiling face, and suddenly felt that he didn't want to ask anything. Looking at her expression, it was as if today was just a calm and leisurely tea party, a matter of Laxis...... It has nothing to do with her.
"Well, Miss Maggie, I, I think" Asha was a little distracted, as if she was also a little stunned, she didn't expect Katie to be so calm.
"Just call me Katie, I remember you two. Katie tilted her head slightly, flicked her fluffy ponytail slightly, and raised a bright smile of confidence on her face, "I still remember that you were Sister Xiulin's assistant." ”
"yes...... Katie has a good memory. Aisha couldn't help but giggle at Katie. Ivan lowered his head and stared intently at the black tea, feeling the urge to plunge headlong into the black tea cup
What the hell are they here for? Aren't they here to inquire about Laxis? What kind of wonderful development is this? Have a tea party and chat?
"Sometimes my memory is good and sometimes it is bad, and some things are not easy to remember, so I will write them down in my notebook. Katie touched her apron and found a small notebook that could lie in the palm of her hand, "So I've never made a mistake in my work." ”
Really? Ivan thought it was doubtful.
"Uh-huh, I know. Katie is serious about her work, ahahaha. Aisha smirked and nodded, "Well, Katie, does Katie know how Lord Laxisis Flotica is doing? We, we've heard some rumors lately......"
"You know, I've heard those rumors, too. Katie didn't be stunned, but immediately nodded in response, "Those rumors are very unreliable, don't believe it." It's not an official announcement. ”
She was still giggling there. It seems that the so-called "rumors" are not taken seriously, and this clerk is less reliable than the "rumors".
"But, if not an official announcement......" Aisha lowered her brow, a hint of worry in the corners of her eyes. "That's ...... I don't always feel good......"
"It's okay. Mistress Laxis is famous. Famous people have some bad rumors, and they are just jealous of Lord Laxis. Katie lifted her hands and lifted her cheeks like an infatuated girl. "Mistress Laxis is very beautiful, and she is a rare magical genius, and of course some people will be jealous of her. They're trying to convince people that Master Laxisis is a criminal, and if you do, you'll be fooled. ”
"The city of Idgela has sent someone to the north to investigate, have you heard of this?" Ivan couldn't bear it anymore. Katie's ability to self-comfort is obviously higher than his, and the sentence "don't believe" solves all problems.
"I've heard it, the rumors are so strict, of course we have to investigate, and we have to leave those people speechless. Katie grinned and waved her hand, "The investigation is just for show, and I'll be back soon." Why don't you drink tea? The tea will get cold, do you need me to add some cow nǎi?"
"......" This can be explained by her, Ivan is speechless.
"Well, Katie didn't think that Lord Laxis might be framed......" Ashia picked up the black tea with a depressed face, she didn't want to drink it, but Katie's enthusiasm made it difficult for her to shirk it.
"That's because you don't know Lord Laxis, her crystal ornaments are all very powerful magic magic weapons, and it is impossible for Lord Laxis to be framed. Katie still smiled carefree, "Wait a minute, I'll go get you guys sweet cow nǎi." She turned and took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and looked back, her eyes full of curiosity.
"By the way, do you like to eat egg nǎi pudding?
Katie walked through the small door next to the hall and went to get her sweet cow nǎi and jam.
Ivan and Aisha looked at each other across a pot of black tea. Half-paid, Aisha pressed her index finger to her chin and looked thoughtfully at the spotless ceiling.
"I think...... The egg nǎi pudding with strawberry jam is sure to be delicious. ”
"What?" Ivan froze. Was Aisha infected by Katie?
"Katie just wants us to take it easy, Mistress Laxis's situation, she actually knows. Aisha's purple pupils flickered with a little helplessness and a little tenderness, "She cares about Lord Laxis, you see, she has heard all the 'rumors', and she also knows about Lord Blair going to the north to investigate." However, she believed that Master Laxis would be safe, and there was no reason for her to believe so. ”
"Ugh. ”
Ivan glanced down at the side of the teacup, he really didn't think of that, Katie was supporting Laxis in her own way. Believing in Laxis unconditionally is what Katie can do right now. However, she didn't know what had happened in the Ghost Isles, what Blair had said to Ivan, and who was trying to frame Laxis. Perhaps, Laxis's enemies are even stronger than Laxis, and if this belief is let down, what if Katie, who believes in Laxis, is bent on it?
He frowned, trying not to imagine the worst, what he should have thought about was what he could do for Laxis. He had already made up his mind to keep it a secret for Laxis no matter what, but in case something unexpected happened
Bang!
A crisp sound of glass shattering came from the back of the hall, and there was a bang, as if a lot of broken glass had fallen to the ground, and Ivan was stunned to think about what Katie was messing with, when Aisha stood up awkwardly, and his face changed instantly.
"Ivan!" her tone was sharp and unnatural.
Soon, there was another thud, a metal object falling to the ground, and then there was a crisp sound of glass shattering. Aisha removed the magic magic pistol from her belt, nodded at Ivan Yan, and quietly ran to the small door where Katie had left.
The two of them stood against the side of the door one left and one right, Ivan held the handle of the door, took a deep breath, and at the same time as the door opened, the silver light gathered into a sharp one-handed sword in his hand, Aisha picked up the ice attribute silver rose pistol, squinted his eyes, and looked straight ahead.
But soon, she lowered the muzzle of the gun, confused.
The room seemed to be a small parlor, with a wall-filled cabinet with drinks, teapots, and teacups, and Katie sat against the wall, the glass teapot containing the sweet cow nǎi shattered to the floor, and the dinner plate rolled to the corner. Her right arm was held down against the wall by another person's hand, and she was forced to lift her chin, a small black dagger casually attached to her neck.
A hole was smashed open in the window, and shards of shiny glass were all under the fluttering curtains. Aisha stared at the man holding Katie for a moment, and then suddenly raised the muzzle of the gun again, and a stern flash flashed in his eyes.
"What are you doing, Raven, release Katie!" (To be continued......)
