Chapter 190: Huberian's Fourth Death Omen
On the other side of Ixerita, thick dark clouds were about to cover the skyline of the royal capital.
In the café on the side of the street, people gather in front of the window, holding hot coffee in their hands, and their eyes are confused to look at the rain outside, and the sound of the rain accompanied by the soft jazz music in the café makes the interior of the rain scene look particularly warm and cozy.
The sudden rainstorm washed over the streets, the raindrops clicked on the lamps, the trees were drenched in the rain, and people on the road took refuge in the nearest shops or with umbrellas in a hurry to find a place to escape the rain.
The wind chimes under the eaves of the Catboss Cafe, two streets away from the College of Icherita, are wet with rain and sway in the wind, making a low sound that is different from usual.
The doors of the restaurant are pushed open and closed from time to time, and everything seems calm, except for a few guests sitting in the corner and enjoying their breakfast.
The clerk was polishing the glassware in front of the counter, looking down intently, and the warm yellow glow of the old chandelier added a little warmth to this small space.
"Why didn't Boss Cat come back......"
The clerk looked up at the clock in the store and muttered.
Although their restaurant doesn't specialize in breakfast, there are a little more customers than usual due to the weather.
If the cat boss doesn't come back later, she may not be busy with ordering and delivering food alone, and she will have to go upstairs to ask Miss Tata to help.
But Miss Tata seems to be sleeping in her sleep today, and she hasn't been seen downstairs since ten o'clock.
The clerk looked out the window and quickly understood.
Raindrops tick on the eaves like a constant rhythm of background music, and the rainwater collects from the roof to form a small waterfall that drip along the eaves.
It's the kind of weather that anyone just wants to stay at home and laze all day.
If he could, the clerk didn't want to trouble Tata, and only hoped that the cat, which had been drenched in black briquettes by the rainstorm, would come back quickly.
"The 17th is good."
The sound from the back kitchen made the clerk quickly come back to his senses and walked quickly to the direction of the window of the back kitchen.
She gently picks up a white porcelain plate and tops it with a delicate dish: golden chicken cutlet paired with a ball of brightly colored fruit salad and a few drops of light yellow lemonade, each of which comes with the dish can be given a different flavor by the customer's choice.
The clerk's steps are both light and capable.
She walked to a table in the aisle on the side of the restaurant, where a young man sipped his coffee and quietly admired the view from the window, as if waiting for something.
Although he looks handsome, his unsharp temperament makes him unremarkable.
As the clerk approached, the young man finally raised his head and smiled expectantly.
"Your chicken steak salad, sir."
The clerk said mildly and gently placed the plate on the table.
"Thank you."
The young man nodded to the clerk in thanks, then turned his gaze to the delicate food.
When the clerk returned to the counter, she could tell that this customer was not a regular customer of the restaurant, but his shoulders and clothes were still stained with rain, and like many customers in the store now, he was a temporary customer who chose to order and rest here because of the weather.
The restaurant was quiet again, except for the sound of rain and soft music outside the window.
The young man slowly opened the cloth cutlery bag on the dining table and took out a delicate silver fork and knife from it.
Although he looked like the usual students of Echrita Academy who often came to the store, the way he enjoyed his breakfast revealed an unusual level of care and taste, as if he were undergoing surgery.
He spread the napkin on his lap and used a knife and fork to cut the chicken chop in front of him, priking only a small piece each time, and once in his mouth, he savored it until it was chewed.
Then he gently cut a slice of fresh croissant with a knife, spread a layer of pale yellow cream, and carefully put it in his mouth.
The same goes for when he drinks coffee.
Instead of sipping it quickly, he tasted its aroma and then took small sips.
His every movement is calm, precise, and naturally completely immersed in the process, enjoying the meal that is both breakfast and lunch.
About ten minutes passed, and the meal in front of him had only been reduced by a third, but it didn't make anyone feel out of place.
He was indeed waiting for a young lady.
Only, that's what he's going to kill.
He was sure that the Duchess Hubelian was upstairs in the shop.
It seems that after the second film world, I gained a lot, and finally moved out of the school to live.
This is also normal, some students of Echrita do not live in the dormitory of the school very often, and most of the time they live in their own residences.
Originally, the only thing he wondered about was why Mademoiselle Duchess chose to come here.
However, when he tasted the food of this boss cat's restaurant in person at this moment, he understood that there was indeed a reason why Miss Duchess would choose this place.
"Guest, are you satisfied with our store?"
The clerk brought another meal to a customer, passed by the young man again, noticed a satisfied smile on his face, and asked.
Because he was sitting close to the aisle, he would pass by as soon as he walked to the door of the store, for example, to the counter.
"Very satisfied, I will come again if I have the opportunity in the future."
The young man bowed his head warmly.
That's what he said.
It's a pity.
I'm afraid I won't have that opportunity in the future.
This store should be the last day of business today.
He is a second-year student at the Royal Academy of Aloran Phoenix, who lives with his sister Phyllis.
But he is actually an elite believer who lurks in the present world, loyal to the Bishop of Destruction, and would never be dispatched under normal circumstances.
Normally, he is in a state of deep self-hypnosis, and does not even remember that he is a resurrectionist.
He will only wake up when he receives an order or when he is confronted with an opportunity to execute it.
He was the only person who wanted to kill the Duchess Huberian, or even if he couldn't kill her, and ruin the relations between the two countries.
Hubertian is in the light, he is in the dark, and Phoenix is very sure that the fifth-order self can play Huberian's life-saving card in a sneak attack at close range.
And this time, not only did he bring an enchantment that blocked the terrain, equipment that saw through invisibility, but he also had two spells that destroyed the bishop's bounty.
【Big Puppet Theater】
[Category: Spell Cards]
[Grade: Pink Sacred]
【Tier: 4】
[Effect: Only used on first-order targets, it can control the actions of all targets within 100 meters, the more targets you control, the longer the time, the more complex the behavior, the greater the mental load and mana consumption of your own spirit, and the cooldown time is 24 hours. 】
[Notes: A quiet death, without dramatic tension.] 】
In the environment of the restaurant, using this spell, which is not useful in ordinary combat, can easily carry the black cauldron of slaughtering civilians on her back.
Moreover, it is impossible for Huberian to kill civilians indiscriminately, and in the face of the sudden and crazy sneak attacks and interference of civilians, his actions will become restrained.
This is a mini-game that Bishop Doom is keen on on every day, every time Bishop Doom can obviously win the opponent, but he just likes to take the civilians to fight the opponent together, and then enjoy the collapse and incompetent rage of those noble righteous men when they mistakenly kill one civilian after another.
As for the second spell -
【Spark of Destruction】
[Category: Spell Cards]
[Grade: Pink Sacred]
[Tier: 5]
[Passive Effect: When the carrier dies, it triggers an extremely violent and devastating fire explosion.] 】
[Note: The streak drama is led by me.] 】
It will make sure that Huber Ann is killed without fail.
In the same way, it is also the death of the bishop of destruction.
Today, this restaurant, as well as the innocent guests inside, have to be buried with the Duchess and Miss.
It's not innocent, right?
Phoenix smiled, a hint of sarcasm in his calm eyes.
Just like natural disasters don't have eyes, these civilians just happened to be chosen by death, and that's it.
If anyone has to blame, it can only blame Miss Duchess for choosing this place.
Because for the disaster star, it was her fault to be alive.
If she had died sooner, she wouldn't have killed these people who had nothing to do with her.
