Chapter 390: All in the Trap (7)
Like a guess, Glori followed Leo's instructions to the other side of the alley. As a result, Glori sensed a faint fluctuation in his magical power. After pausing and thinking for a moment, Glori smiled lightly. In order to make everything seem pleasantly pleasant, Glori deliberately made a disappointed remark at the corner of the alleyway.
"Hey, Leo, right now, it's just the two of us. The clever and clever girl must have followed the fleeing people to the north of the city. I even told her to go to the Happiness Village in the northwest. In my opinion, we can only wish her to find happiness in the Happy Village. And what about us?"
"We?"
Watching Glori look dejected at the end of the alleyway, Leo naturally felt strange. Just now, wasn't Glori very confident? Now, Glori is eighty percent in the ...... Heh, he's making fun!
Following Glori's words, Leo said, "Glori, you say we? Of course we have to find a place to drink." Without a beautiful girl by my side, and I can't nourish my eyes on the street, then I can only wait for the girl who admires me to appear!"
Leo's words were a joke, but they did go a little too far. So, the man hiding around the corner jumped out and said, "Hey, what are you talking about! And I'm not the kind of person who likes to run away!"
"Fiona?"
That's when Glori said what he was holding back in his heart. The pretense was as Glorry had hoped, and Fiona was really happy. However, in the next second, Glori had a serious expression.
Giving a poor girl a chance to smile is naturally a commendable thing. However, the scorching heat wave is still there. A tragedy can't be calmed down by a person's smile.
Try harder, for the sake of those kind people!
Pointing to the north, Glori didn't continue talking. Now, with Leo and Fiona following, Glori is stuck in thought as he walks along the path that leads to Kozuki.
Mr. Short is not a brainless man.
If Mr. Short had persuaded Wofer to use the One-Eyed Devil to attack the city first, then Mr. Short should have also figured out that there was a problem with the defenses in the City of Honor. But why didn't Mr. Short stop Wolfer from continuing the siege, but wait for someone else to warn him?
Could it be that Mr. Short anticipated what was about to happen?
Could it be that Mr. Short has any plans?
Or are you thinking too much?
For the time being, Glori has no way of knowing what Mr. Short is thinking. However, Mr. Short's reminder of the timing did not let Glori forget. Both Mr. Short and Mr. Javier like to talk about the situation. It was as if Mr. Short and Master Javier were giving guidance to a newcomer.
Glori, it's not a newcomer.
But in reality, Glori was a little confused. And the situations that Glorry couldn't figure out were as complicated as the Knights of Light in Honor City. Those knights of light, some of them have not forgotten that it is faith that sustains glory. But why would those Knights of Light choose to swing their swords at a man bent on saving Alex's kingdom?
No, those knights of light are not the same as the knights who set the trap in the forest in the first place. Even, Glori found that among the eight knights, there was no one wielding a sword in the house.
Which side the eight knights belonged to, Glori had a guess in his mind. Perhaps, those eight knights were the ones who followed Lord Javier. But does this make sense?
One cloud of doubt was not gone, and another cloud of doubt returned, and Glori fell into a whirlpool of confusion. Suddenly, a headache appeared, and Glori subconsciously touched his right abdomen. Wasn't the curse in his right abdomen lifted a long time ago?
In the long-term pain, touching the right abdomen seems to have become a habit. However, this complication did not make Glori uncomfortable.
Everything, just right.
It's better than covering it up.
But where is the enemy to deal with?
Glori didn't know where the Lord of Honor was hiding. Perhaps, you should go to the sunflower salt field to see. If the City of Honor suffers an attack, then the Sunflower Salt Works should also be among the targets of the attack.
After thinking about it a lot, "Xiaozhu" appeared in front of Glori's eyes.
As Glorry thought, Kozuki was not spared. The ruined roofs and the fenced gates torn by the guests have become the ones that Glori regrets. However, there is still half of the black wooden wall standing in the wind. And most of the benches and round tables were engulfed in flames.
Walking towards the half-timber wall to the northeast of the tavern, Glori sat in the corner. The two cloaks hanging from the round table are still there. After picking up Fiona's cloak, Glori picked up her tattered one. That's why Glori thought of the five or six-year-old boy he had saved.
"The boy, we don't know where he went. "Glori was talking to Fiona. 5200
"Who?"
The person who spoke was Ai Dane. Aidane, busy packing up the house. Seeing Glori shrug his shoulders, he didn't ask any more. As for the people who helped clean up, there were a few. Not all of them, Glori knows. However, the little boy Aiden, who helped Aidane deliver flowers, Glori remembers very well.
Handing over a glass of water, the little boy Aiden looked at Glori timidly.
"You, what people call the blue star, but your armor isn't that magical. And I just saw a scarred piece of armor. I see that your armor is not as luxurious as I have seen it before! The man's armor is golden! At his waist there is a sword carved with a black dragon!"
"Who?"
This time it was Glori's turn to wonder. On the sword at his waist, there is a black dragon carving...... Could that be Mr. Mayne? Perhaps, that person is Mr. Mayne. However, after all this time, Mr. Mayne should have arrived in Ice Crystal City. Even, Mr. Mayne should go and assassinate Kyle, the King of Order.
Knowing where Mr. Mayne was, Glori couldn't help but ask.
"How long ago did this happen? Aiden, can you tell me?"
"Not long ago, before you first came here. Moreover, he made me stare at the man in the blue and white armor. If someone is wearing blue and white armor, then I have to take out the letter. ”
As he spoke, Aiden couldn't wait to take out the letter.
The envelope is brown, but the wax is a bit confusing. Looking for the remaining traces, and comparing them carefully, Glori found that the wax on the letter was not dripping in the same place. Even, the person who wrote the letter exaggerated to the point that the wax was drenched in a lot. At the same time, only half of the seal remains.
The owner of the letter, probably in a hurry, sorted out the letter.
Thinking about what had happened to the owner of the letter, Glori took the letter.
When he opened the letter, the first thing Glori saw was Mr. Mayne's signature. Of course, Glori also assumed that it was Mr. Mayne's handwritten letter. Because, Mr. Mayne likes to use thick pen and ink when he writes. So much so, no matter what the sentence is, Glori can't find a place where his pen and ink are bland. And what gave Glori more confidence was that the punctuation at the end of each sentence seemed to be repeated—a habit of Mr. Mayne, which Glory remembered.
Glori, thank you from the bottom of my heart, Mr. Mayne. It's just that in addition to some shh It looks like Mr. Mayne is simply fooling Glori.
In the letter, there is a passage that says: "The situation is changing, and we must stay away from ...... Lord Javier is a man to rely on. ”
And another passage also praised Lord Javier: "Everything is complicated, you must think more...... Lord Javier, knowledgeable. ”
What made Glori care about the words in the letter was the before and after of the ellipsis connection. If the beginning, end, and ellipsis of the two paragraphs are removed, then it is "you must stay away from Lord Javier, and you must think more about Lord Javier".
And, apart from what he could think of, Glori couldn't find anything else important in the letter.
According to Mr. Mayne's temper, he would not do anything to ask for warmth. Everything should have been planned by Mr. Mayne. Even, for Mr. Mayne, going to great lengths to get a letter into the hands of another person is not something that is done casually.
Confused, Glori asked Aiden, "Was the man in a hurry when he left?" or did he frown?"
Aiden shook his head, but said, "That man, it seems that he is preoccupied. It was as if someone was staring at him. He gave me a silver coin before he sent me the letter. And he told you many times that he must give you the letter. ”
Listening to Aiden's words, Glori frowned.
If what Mr. Mayne said was to make himself wary of Lord Javier, then Glori would be reassured. From the beginning, Glori had been on the lookout for Master Javier.
As for Lord Javier's public and private, Glori has so far found no headache. For the male, of course, for the kingdom of Alex. And privately, Lord Javier didn't do anything. However, Lord Javier did not mention the matter of the trap in the forest and the knight traitor - this is the question that makes Glori wonder.
Because of the reintroduction of Lord Javier's matter, Glori couldn't find a clue for a while. Seeing Leo sit next to Fiona, watching Fiona move away from Leo, Glori wished that what was happening in front of him would stop sooner rather than later—Glori knew in his heart that restlessness could not solve things.
That's when Glori heard something even more depressed. Some people shouted and ran towards "Kozuki". Some people shouted directly: "Everyone, run for your life!"
"Go north! The people from outside the city are rushing in!"
In addition to the shouting, there was some movement. Glori listened carefully, and it sounded like the sound of a man walking down an underground passage. Moreover, the muffled sound of the thump was very close to the tavern. Trying to find out, Glori shushed and stopped Leo from talking to Fiona.
Holding one hand down on the round table, Glori noticed that the slight tremor became more pronounced. It seems that there are a lot of people passing through the underpass.
