A high-level warrior in purple robe patrols back and forth with his hand in hand. The soldiers wore dolphin-shaped moon helmets. They were calm and polite, and did not make any trouble. After checking the mark, they put Nese in.
"Lord Anmeses V is waiting for you," they said.
"Of course." Nesse replied.
As soon as you enter the inner courtyard, the scenery changes suddenly.
There is no area of strong vision here. Both sides of the street are lined with oak trees that are constantly dropping mana starlight. The tree crowns are like thick and colorful clouds in oil paintings, and the junctions are decorated with plump white and purple rootless flowers.
The fresh air after a long absence made Nese's nose sting.
Walking around into a small garden, I saw the tall figure of Ameses V, wearing a black robe, standing in front of a fountain with his hands behind his back.
He was staring at a marble statue about thirty feet high.
"Did you know I would come today?" Nesai stopped behind him and looked at the statue.
It was a blindfolded humanoid with a pitiful expression, but it had a wolf tail and sharp claws, and its lips were sewn together with thread.
"The aura on your body is stronger."
Amesses did not turn around, facing the statue, with his back like a rock.
"You have to come." He said softly, "It's okay. I'm ready to answer. It's not only important to you, it's also important to me."
He smiled and said, "However, if you come to me now, I'm afraid you don't want to ask the same questions as before."
"Now that you know."
Nese took out the page of the announcement drafted by Angoro from his arms, took a step forward, and showed it unceremoniously in front of him. "How is this going?"
"Bounty hunter Winnie's wanted list. It's actually in your hands."
King Anmeses V's eyes passed over the announcement. Although he said "eventually", his expression did not change at all.
"Angoro said that it was you who ordered the arrest of Winnie. Is he lying? Or is it really you?"
"You're anxious. This is a small matter."
Anmeses glanced at him, "Compared with the important responsibilities you and I bear, I think we don't have to worry too much about my handling of the residents of Semoland. This is what I want to tell you."
"You have no right to deal with her." Neese said, "Besides, I can testify that Winnie did not kill Mr. Ode at all."
Anmeses turned her face to look at him, the golden rings in her eyes twinkling.
"It seems you must figure this out."
He finally smiled calmly, "It doesn't matter, we still have time today. I can cooperate with you. The Lightless One."
"I know you know." Nese said stiffly.
"Sorry. I was too arrogant."
Anmeses smiled apologetically.
Compared with his tall body and domineering temperament, his attitude seems very approachable.
"If this arouses your disgust, I will still call you the same name as before. I just want to explain to you that I already know your identity." Anmeses said, "I also know that you learned from Mr. Ode I’ve learned bits and pieces. I don’t want to mince words.”
"Neither do I."
Nese stared at Anmeses's lips - even though the dean of Semeran is an Asmo with high magic power, casting spells should be the same as that of normal humans. Before performing the action of releasing spells, his lips must be waving.
Amese looked peaceful and composed. It was no different from the previous visit.
You should hear what he has to say.
"Since you already know that I am Nese the Lightless, why don't you hand me over to Ufa Ufa, or issue a wanted notice for me?"
Nese relented. It would be great if Anmeses was willing to explain everything clearly to him. "No matter what crime a bounty hunter commits, it will never be more serious than the coming of the devil."
"I told Oude that you are wanted, so there is no need to publish it."
Anmeses smiled, quickly waved his sleeves, and walked around the statue.
He exposed his back naturally and seemed not to be afraid of any attack.
Nese followed immediately and saw a wide and gentle upward stairway revealed behind the statue. Moss was embedded in the patterns, making it appear full of life.
"Your matter is actually a foreign matter that Ufa Ufa entrusted Angoro to cooperate with me. I have my own plans. You can also see that this is the only place in Semoland that is not monitored by the floating city.
So you can rest assured about our conversation. If even my inner courtyard is included in the surveillance scope, I cannot tolerate it. "
Anmeses went up the stairs. Nesse walked forward beside him.
I saw that although the stairs were not steep, they were very long, and the other side was hidden in the mist at high altitudes.
"But the affairs of Winnie and Mr. Ode, as well as the Flying Wave Club, are Semolan's affairs. I just deal with them according to Semolan's rules. As I said, this is not that important.
Winnie can also be regarded as my indirect subordinate. After all, she has been working at Feibo Club for a long time. Like it or not, she got Semolan's terms. It is natural to accept the rules here. Are you familiar with her? "
"Very."
"Then you should know very well. She is almost a vivid reflection of the 'outlaw' Semolan."
"I do not care."
Nese paused and said, "You haven't told me yet. Did you authorize Angolo to issue Winnie's wanted order because she did kill Mr. Ode?"
They walked past statues of mutated beasts of different shapes and wild-shaped shrubs on both sides. The moss on the steps became thicker and thicker, and the noise from the floating city, soldiers, and war mages gradually seemed like echoes from another world.
Already in an inaccessible place.
"Mr. Ode was found dead in the detective agency on Boni Street early this morning. Someone saw the bounty hunter Winnie coming out of there before and immediately reported the incident to me." Anmeses replied.
"This does not prove that Mr. Older was the victim of her injuries."
"When she came out, she was still holding Mr. Oude's head." Anmeses' voice was as steady as a mirror, "Is this enough?"
"Impossible." Nese said subconsciously, "She told me that she did not want to get rid of Mr. Ode."
Anmeses glanced at him.
"You're telling the truth. But alas, the person who reported it to me is also telling the truth. As far as I'm concerned, that's all."
"Although there are frequent bloody conflicts in Semolan, logically speaking, I should not want Winnie, but should give her the position of boss of the Feibao Society."
Dean Asmo smiled softly. "It's a pity. I have set several rules. One of them is: the 'housekeeper' of Upper and Lower Semolan can only be replaced after a formal challenge or my appointment. Originally, the next challenge date is approaching, and she really does not need to be too in a hurry……"
He suddenly fell silent.
When Nese came back to her senses, she found that they were already standing at the top of the stairs.
At the top of the stairs are two more statues similar to the masked and sealed statues just now. Only slightly smaller, one on the left and one on the right, standing on the edge of the cliff. A narrow path embedded in the mountain wall extends downward on both sides of the statue, surrounded by crimson clouds and mist.
"Let this matter end here." Anmeses said, "I will not withdraw the wanted order, nor will I entrust others with it. Originally, you could ask her yourself to find out."
"Originally?" Nese frowned.
