Chapter 684: Surprise Investigation
"Damn Villiers, all of Flotica's men are so cunning!"
In the lavish rooms of the inn, Ballan sat upright in a high-backed armchair covered with scarlet velvet, his waist straight, not at all relaxed. The light radiating from his eyes was like a sharp knife, nailed to the wallpaper with the pattern of wheat ears in front of him. There was nothing special on the wallpaper, and what made him feel uneasy was the image in his mind.
Laxis Flotica was a student of Asa Hernos. Even if he is no longer in the Alliance, he still has the ability to threaten the order of the Alliance. This is a time to be taken lightly, and it is necessary to get rid of Laxis's henchman, that Villiers......
He didn't roar, though his chest was already filled with anxious rage, and he clung to the oak armrests painted bright gold, his palms sweating. Compared to the powerful alliance of magicians, the army of the Kingdom of Födlands is like a papier-mâché toy, and if it weren't for the obstruction of the alliance to this day, those shackled agreements would have been overturned.
He remembered "a certain Lord", a surprisingly calm Holy Magister, who was also a companion of Lord Borenfuz. "I know very well what you, and Borenfutz, want. The adult once said, "It's too impulsive, you all are." ”
Why did Lord Borenfuz have an accident?
At the thought of this, Barran couldn't help but grit his teeth with a rattle. Asa Hernos, Laxis Flotica, the Wizards' Society, there is no doubt that they have colluded. Barlan had a cultist-like adoration for Borenfuz, but he was not the same as Angelo Hills, a student of Borenfuz.
He can do too little, and he has too little.
Yes, he was always too impulsive before. In the face of a cunning enemy, it is not possible to use your brain a little less. In this strange city, there are people who are in good hands with Villiers. What will it take to get hold of Villiers?
No matter what means are used, the plot of Flotica's gang will not succeed.
That night, Ballan called Carlo, just Carlo.
"I'm going to give you a special mission. Barran's tone was as heavy as if a catastrophe was imminent. "Since you are a close confidant of Lord Hernos, then you should share the worries of Lord Hernos. You know who is threatening Lord Hernos right now. ”
Carlo fell silent. He hadn't seen Master Yatel Hernos lately. However, what Barlan said next made him feel very uncomfortable.
Because of Balran's speculation...... Let's be honest...... It could be true.
......
The pitch-black carriage passed through the city of Easter at night, and even the street lamps beside the road had been extinguished, and the quaint kerosene lamps hanging at the front of the carriage swayed violently like flames in the wind.
The middle-aged coachman who drove the car had worked for the Magic Alliance Office for a long time, and he had never encountered such a thing. It's already the middle of the night, and there is urgent work coming to the door.
If it weren't for the fact that the clerk who had come to ask him for a large sum of money and how important the job was, he wouldn't have planned to go out. When he heard about his destination, the driver was so surprised that he almost flinched again.
The Inquisitor of the Magic Alliance, why did you go to the Lorrain Pavilion......? The residence of the famous maiden duke, Christina Martiel-Villiers, in East! The Inquisitor was terrifying, and his tone and expression were terrifying. Eventually, the coachman took the job, and now he only hoped that he would not get into trouble because of the greed and fear of the moment.
Ivan's expression was solemn.
The carriage was very spacious, and he carefully kept his distance from Ballan and Carlo. Towards midnight, the madman of Barlan suddenly offered to go to Christina's house to investigate, saying that she could not be given a chance to prepare in advance, and that evidence must be found. After the initial shock. Ivan was not surprised soon, but he was just a little chilled.
He remembered that this winter, Ballan had also acted on the basis of speculation without any evidence, almost a little. Ivan almost didn't come back. Although his guess was correct this time, it was too ...... to raid the residence of a noble girl in the middle of the night It's disgusting.
The heart tightened. Christina's Magic Wizard ...... He noticed that Christina wasn't wearing the necklace with the sword-shaped pendant on it today, and that her pendant was a wind-type magic magic weapon. In addition, the identities of Asa's other two companions, Dragon Tooth and Scholar, who were with Christina, may be more easily exposed.
The scholar Clarence Milton is a wizard, he is also the son of Ulysses, the elder of the Wizarding Society, and the dragon's tooth is not human at all. In the unlikely event that the identities of the two of them were discovered by Balran, it would be impossible for Christina not to be implicated in any case.
Somehow had to be done to inform Christina. But now, when he was in the same carriage as Ballan and Carlo, what could he do? If Ballan doubted him, and Ballan had long suspected him, he could not be allowed to take advantage of him.
The curtains of the carriage were closed, and the sound of the river rushing through the window could be heard. In Ivan's impression, after Dawn Bay, he arrived at the Luolian Pavilion. The door to the Lorraine Pavilion was locked, and Ballan stepped forward and slammed the door, quickly waking up the guards on duty.
This time, Christina was really unprepared.
"Ah...... I'm very sorry, I didn't expect gentlemen to be so serious about their work. ”
When she walked into the Luolian Pavilion, only a middle-aged woman dressed as a housekeeper went out to greet her, and Christina, as the head of the family, changed her clothes, did not have time to put on makeup and jewelry, and her hair was only combed and not coiled. Despite this, Christina's image remains decent, dignified and elegant.
However, even if she still said polite and kind words, even Ivan could clearly hear it, Christina was very unhappy, and the entire Lorraine Pavilion seemed to be shrouded in resentment.
"So, this is also a way for the Wizard Alliance to investigate?Okay, since you think it's necessary, what do you need me to cooperate with?"
"Call all your servants out!" Ballan ordered menacingly. Christina exhaled, turned to the middle-aged woman dressed as a butler, and spoke in a voice that everyone could hear.
"Do as Mr. Balland says, all the servants, and the guards, and tell them to assemble in the hall. (To be continued......)
