Chapter 224: Act Ahead

"But fortunately, I heard that there are a lot of big people in the red robe this time, and it seems that I won't encounter that monster again." Monsters, you have to let the more powerful monsters clean up. Lucy thought to herself, and gradually calmed down.

Clennon didn't notice Lucy's strange appearance, but replied confidently: "Don't worry, I think that only that Father Kelelius can see through this level of magic among the customers in my store, but he has already left, so no one will doubt it." ”

His tone was full of disdain for his own guests, and he was almost the same as the tavern owner who kept everyone cheerful and enthusiastic during the day.

Kellius, who was outside the apartment, listened to the conversation in the room at this time, and thought to himself: 'Clenon, you are really an acting guy, why didn't I see it before?' With such natural acting skills, doing intelligence work is really a group of guys who are proficient in acting and deception. ’

Just as Kyrlius was slandering Clenon and all the intelligence front-line workers in his heart, the conversation between the two in the room continued.

Lucy, who has recovered from her horrific memories of Kyleus, is noncommittal about Clenon's confidence. You must know that she was also so confident at the time, but in the end, the reality gave her a heavy blow, and she has not fully recovered until now, and the psychological shadow of the priest in her heart is still stubbornly remaining there.

However, Lucy herself didn't think there would be any problems, and the strength of this red-robed magician seemed to her to be enough. In such a tavern, not many people can see through a three-ring magic. It's not always the case that you'll encounter an outlier like Kyleus, who is beyond common sense.

Of course, our poor little Lucy didn't know that her luck today, or rather Clenon's luck today, was very bad.

The already faint smell of the 'Hair Growth Potion' will completely dissipate after a period of volatilization. Even an alien with extraordinary senses like Kellius would not smell anything abnormal, which was one of the reasons why Kellius had not noticed Clenon's anomaly for half a year.

Clenon didn't use the potion last night due to an accidental oversight, so in order to prevent the potion's effect from disappearing and revealing the bald head and tattoos on his head, he made an exception today to use the 'hair growth potion' before going to the tavern in the morning.

And because the smell of potions has not evaporated for enough time, there is still an almost inaudible but real anomalous smell. Originally, it seemed to Clenon that this little flaw would not be noticed, so he came to the tavern with the smell as usual to start the day.

However, it is such a flaw that is not too small to be considered a flaw. Makes Kylelius aware of his anomaly. If it weren't for this small oversight. Kylelius would never have suspected him, and what would have happened next would have happened.

But now Lucy didn't know that the red robe in front of her had made such a 'major' and fatal mistake today, and in her opinion, today's meeting would be as smooth as before, without any ups and downs.

Lucy looked at the confident Clenon. Said lightly: "It's better to be like this." I sincerely hope so. Mr. Clenon. ”

Clenon noticed Lucy's coldness, and felt very bored and tilted his head softly, after making a faint "tsk~" sound. He turned to Lucy and asked, "Alright, let's get back to business." Say, what is the matter with them sending you to me this time, you had better have something important and urgent. Otherwise I'll make you regret using that lame way of contacting me pointlessly in such a pinch. ”

"You must know that I only entered a batch of inventory a few days ago, and today another delivery one came, which is easy to arouse suspicion among those who are interested. I can't guarantee that there won't be a few local spies among the guests at my tavern. ”

Clenon spoke grumbling words, sarcastically about Lucy's contacts. At the same time, she looked at Lucy, who was covered with a mask in front of her, waiting for her answer. It seems obvious that if Lucy Lucy can't give him a satisfactory answer today, a battle between the magician and the stalker will be inevitable.

Although the magician in this small place suffers a lot from the stalker of the same level, it does not mean that Klennon has no chance of winning. On the contrary, with the passage of time, Clenon's advantage became greater and greater unconsciously.

Lucy ignored Clenon's undisguised threat, but her body unconsciously adjusted her posture as if sensing a threat from the other side, guarding the only threatening creature in the room.

With the adjustment of her body posture, Lucy said in a cold and indifferent tone: "There are new instructions from above, because Sir Sissoko's operation failed. Although the captives knew nothing, and Sir was dead, Father Kylelius found many clues through compound magic. ”

"Magicians, especially those of the Necromantic and Prophecy factions, always have a way of getting the information they want from the mouths of the dead, and I think you know that better than I do. To be on the safe side, the upper echelons have decided to start the action ahead of time, and I'm here today to inform you and the Chief Lady behind you of the news. Lucy's unwavering tone from beginning to end was emotionless, but it surprised the two who heard the news.

Both Kyrlius and Clenon, who heard the news, were taken aback. Clenon is okay, after all, he is only an intelligence officer responsible for delivering information, and it is not his turn to make decisions, he just needs to carry out orders when the time comes.

After a brief period of surprise, the mentally strong red robe quickly accepted this fact, and began to think about how to inform his superiors as soon as possible. But the other side outside the apartment was not so pleasant, and Kellius's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard the exciting news outside.

He didn't have the usual joy of receiving the latest information, but only a deep worry and anxiety.

He knew that it was too late to send the news back, the Count's preparations had just begun, and the Luxembourg side had not even begun the work of wooing the Knights of Fionardo and the shamisen.

If at this time, the red-robed people suddenly started to act in advance, Keellius knew with his knees what the result would be, and this side must have been crushed and destroyed without adequate preparation. (To be continued......)
