321 Entrustment
"This is an incomprehensible proposition, Your Highness Hajhorna. ”
Hearing that the sudden appearance of the shadow prince offered to take in this little girl with a lot of trouble, the wizard felt a little incredulous: "Alexia should be a very important figure to you. ”
"But she's pretty good with you. Hajhorner laughed, a smile that tried to convey an affinity, but in this gloomy setting, the smile that appeared on his gray face looked very eerie: "As Ally's brother, isn't it cruel to deprive her of her happy moments?"
"IMHO. Such affectionate, affectionate words penetrated into the wizard's ears, but did not make him feel the slightest touch, the ghost believed that the ghost who believed in Shar, transformed into a shadow creature, was known for his insidious, cunning, cruel and dark, and was no less famous than the stench of the Red Robe Wizards' Guild would pay so much attention to feelings, not to mention that this Alexia was related to the High Prince Teramante, as the hand of the High Prince, it was obviously an illogical act to hand over Yari to Pan Diesel as an outsider for the sake of feelings.
At least the wizard wouldn't be naïve enough to believe that His Excellency the Hand of the Supreme Prince, who holds the supreme power in the Netherworld City, under one person and above ten thousand, will be a guy who cares about emotions and empathy and ignores interests.
This kind of suggestion will be made, or it will be tempted, or it may have other plans.
Penny believed the latter more, so he spoke less politely: "I really don't believe that Your Excellency would entrust Yali to me for such a reason, although Yali is a very lovely little girl, and I like her very much, but considering the relationship between her and His Majesty the Supreme City Lord, I think I must return her to Your Excellency." ”
Speaking of this, Alexia, who was hugging his neck, flattened her mouth, and her mood seemed to become not so happy in an instant.
Penny's eyes flickered, and the light was faint: "If Your Excellency is unwilling to accept it, I have no choice but to find the Lady Mayer just now, my personal grudge with her has been settled, and it should be ...... Oops!!"
He screamed in pain, only to see tears rolling in Alexia's big eyes, and two rows of small teeth biting his shoulders fiercely, although they were not bitten through his clothes, they still made Penny feel pain.
The protective force field obviously couldn't stop the little guy, and Penny was sure that the piece of flesh must be bruised.
would bite Penny with such a great force, which shows how angry and reluctant Alexia is in her heart.
"Ah, you see, how can you bear to put Yari in the hands of that crazy woman?" the smile on Hajhorna's face became a little weird, as if he couldn't help but laugh.
"So you don't want to let Yari fall into the hands of that woman, and you don't want to take her with you personally, I should be right, Your Highness Hajhorna. The corners of the wizard's mouth twitched twice, barely holding back the pain from Alexia's tiny teeth, and said this paragraph: "I don't know, what kind of concerns exist in your Excellency's heart, so that you would rather let Arye stay with me, an outsider, than bring her back to the seat of His Majesty the Supreme Prince?"
Hajhorner didn't answer, but the smile on his lips didn't stiffen, but continued to look mysterious.
But Penny knew that his guess had hit the mark—at least not far from that real answer—so he quietly met the High Prince's hand, waiting for a response.
"Well, I have to say, it's a pain to deal with smart people. Hajhorner stroked his forehead, the smile on his lips became a little helpless, and he shook his head at Penny: "Clever Mr. Diesel, your question really makes me feel embarrassed. ”
"Or maybe you and that Miss Mayel aren't all the way, are you?" the wizard made a bold guess with a few thoughts spinning through his mind.
According to consistent experience, such an insidious and treacherous group of people formed an organization, even if there is a blood connection inside, the struggle will certainly not be much relaxed.
Maybe a little stronger than the red-robed mage, well, a little stronger.
Killing one's father and brother for the sake of power, not to mention this Torrell universe with various ethical concepts, is another time and space that attaches importance to ethics, and there are not a few.
What is it like inside the Shadow City, through a conversation with Hajhorna, the wizard has figured out what it is like.
Before today, he had been troubled by the possible struggle against Netherland in the Heartland region, but only now did he know for sure that the force that terrified the Heartland region was also full of internal flaws.
Perhaps the average human kingdom would not use these things, nor would they want to use them, but as a sinister and vicious red-robed mage, Penny thought that such a situation would be very beneficial to him.
"Yes, Mr. Pan Diesel, it is indeed inconvenient for me to take Alexia personally, and if you can do me a favor, both me and my noble father will remember your favor. Hajhorner bowed slowly, very solemnly.
"No, that's not enough, Mr. Hajhorner. The wizard shook his head, it was a matter of such a big force as Netherworld City, and thinking of the trouble that might be caused, so he had to get to the bottom of it: "I don't want to cause any inexplicable trouble, although I don't mind if His Majesty the Supreme City Lord lives with me, I hope I can get a plausible reason - you must at least let me know the ins and outs." ”
"This ......"
Penny saw Hajhorna's face look of embarrassment, and Alexia stopped biting him, but looked at his face with pitiful eyes.
"Well, the woman brought Yari here to go somewhere. Hajhorna coughed dryly and briefly told the ins and outs: "...... Looking for something, she needed Yali's strength, and for some reason, her father had to agree to her request, but ......"
The Prince's Hand's expression darkened, "We don't want Alexia to be in any danger. ”
Although it was still vague, he told Penny the most crucial things, probably thinking that it was not a good idea for a person like Penny.
Penny frowned, "To go somewhere, somewhere?"
This is also important.
"I don't know, that woman kept her mission completely secret from my father and us. Hajhorna's eyes flickered: "That's why we're not at ease." ”
"But you're going to worry about me as a stranger?" Penny smiled.
"Oh, I believe that with your wisdom, you should not wish to really incur my father's wrath. Hajhorna smiled and bowed deeply: "Although it is a temporary idea, but judging by Yali's attitude towards you, there should be no more suitable person than Your Excellency, and you happen to be a smart person, I have already experienced it myself." ”
"Thank you for the compliment. The wizard smiled, he already knew enough news, and he leaned over and returned the salute to Hajhorna: "Greetings to His Majesty the Supreme Prince on my behalf." ”
Teramant Tanshur is not a man to mess with, while Beria Meyr happens to have a bit of a relationship with him and, more importantly, he has some curiosity about Alexia.
You know, such a physique that is highly similar to the Mithic core, as well as the ability to eat the arcane power as a meal, are all things worth studying.
"Your Excellency is valuable. With the last words, Hajhorna's body disappeared into place: "I do not wish to be hostile to Your Excellency, because in my experience, it is very expensive to oppose a person like you, so I suggest that Your Excellency should maintain a good relationship with us." ”
This passage was half a compliment and a clear warning, but Penny felt more useful, to be able to make such an organization so important, and to be considered a successful person in Feren, he looked down at Alexia, who kept dodging his gaze, but still tightly wrapped his arms around him, and couldn't help but feel a little amused.
Probably still embarrassed by the bite he had just made, Penny was more worried about whether the little girl's gums would bleed from that moment.
"Ally, it seems that your father, and His Highness Hajhorna, have a good relationship with the priests of Lady Shar. The wizard suddenly realized, and the conversation just now made him vaguely feel the contradictions in the Yin Soul City.
"That's right. Seeing that Penny didn't pursue her teeth, the little guy boldly raised his little head and nodded: "Those guys who pretend to be ghosts are very annoying, and they hate Revaran and bad women the most, and they make me read those useless things every day, and I am annoyed to death." ”
The wizard nodded, touched her little head, and activated the teleportation.
He already had a rough idea of why Hajhorner and Teramantt Tanshur had made this decision.
With a flash of light, his body disappeared in place, and on top of a bell tower two hundred yards away, two people in yellow robes with flowing tattoos on their faces stared at the place where Penny had disappeared, and one of them was a middle-aged man with a serious and rigid expression, who was constantly trembling when the wizard disappeared, as if he was suppressing the urge to fly out at any moment, and after Penny disappeared, he took out a colorless transparent crystal, and a torn scroll was attached to the outside of this crystal, although the light was dim, but still kept trying to release light outward。
"The three stages! That wizard actually has three keys in his hand!" The bald middle-aged man trembled and uncovered the scroll outside the crystal, his eyes staring at the remaining light in it, as if he was repeatedly confirming something: "Ancestor is above, that woman, that woman actually led us to this wizard!"
"Hossy, calm down. Another older man in a yellow robe reached out and pressed the bald middle-aged man's shoulder: "Calm down first." ”
"This is the guidance of the ancestors, Damon. Hosis lowered his voice, "We will find all the keys to unlock the vaults of the astral plane and reclaim what we have lost." ”
At the end, his voice grew louder again.
"But it seems that the woman really didn't have the crystal with her. The older yellow-robed man known as Damon frowned.
"This woman already knows the preciousness of the thing, and it seems that their gods are not ignorant of it, Shar...... Hmph......" Hosis sneered twice: "But I didn't notice the fact that the crystals would sense each other when they were close, and I only knew about digging up the remains of our ancestors...... This time, let her go to the grave keeper and touch the nail so that she knows the consequences of fooling us. ”
"But what are we going to do with that wizard?" Damon still frowned, "As you saw just now, he's stronger than that woman, but we can't even deal with that woman." ”
"Wait, knowing that the key is in his hand, he can't run away for a while. Hosses's eyes were glazed, and the cycle of excitement and gloom revealed his restless and calm mood: "There will always be an opportunity. ”
His tone was cold and cold, like a poisonous snake.
