"She escaped?" Rego repeated unconvincingly, "Abandoned her companions?"
Joey's face was expressionless, "Are you going to chase me?"
"No." The water fairy Anais is a treacherous First Origin. Although the association is known for its unity, if faced with a life and death crisis, these guys will just scatter. Rego was slightly surprised by her decisiveness, but his focus was elsewhere: "How will she deal with the murderer of Orcus?"
"What do you have in mind?"
Rego had difficulty answering. To be honest, Gopher has already entered their stomachs and become the decoction in the bottle. Compared to its crime, this treatment is simply excessive. He had reason to convince himself that he had to obey the emergency, but... Joey lied to them. Godfield's body was useless. It was the captain and Anais who solved the toxin. For no reason, he thought it best not to ask questions now.
"She also has a daughter." Finally, he reminded weakly.
"That's a brand new soul." The Elf Saint said coldly, "It's just a baby. Are you knights or devils?"
"It's the same word." Joey turned around. "There are still people here who need to be entertained." The frost melted quickly under his feet. "Stix Leofric."
Rego was surprised to realize that this was not an unfamiliar name. The leader raised his head, revealing a thin and weathered face. His complexion was blue, his eye sockets were sunken, and there was a purple-black scar on the corner of his jaw. But six years ago, before this scar appeared, half the girls in the imperial capital were willing to kiss this face. The court musician was personable and elegant, with a charm that was very different from that of a knight, and many nobles were willing to spend money for his sweet singing voice and love poems. These unique conditions made him a celebrity. But for singers and poets, celebrity is not the end. Rumor has it that he often haunts the palace of the eldest princess and wears a flower on his collar every day.
This can't be Styx, Rhaego thought, but I recognize this face. No girl in the empire would kiss him anymore. He was flogged for offending the royal family and then exiled to the border.
The criminal fell weakly to his side. "You killed Ge Feier." His tone seemed to be questioning.
"I'm sorry I didn't let you see it with your own eyes."
Joey's answer made even Rego feel uncomfortable, let alone Styx. His cheek twitched, "She didn't want to hurt anyone."
"Except for the target you instructed?"
"Let's put it this way, in Alanvor, water fairies are sold like slaves. They are tools and can be regenerated after use. Tools have no thoughts." A violent cough broke out from the depths of his throat. "Otherwise, Ge Feier should hate me."
"That woman was madly in love with you." Bogart couldn't help but say, "until you abandoned her in the well. Sticks, I'm afraid it's too late for you to plead for her reincarnated daughter."
"I am always too late," said the prisoner, "and it was the same in Malandeno. Am I telling the truth that Helen is marrying someone else?"
"There is no point in telling lies about you. Prince Veronka and Her Royal Highness the Princess are a perfect match and have been married for half a year. What you heard is not even intelligence, but gossip."
"Vironka? Deputy leader of the Silver Song Knights?"
"He's the Legion Commander now, the Imperial Prince. You know, when you get demoted someone always has to get promoted."
"Demoted?" Uriel reminded displeasedly, "Is this guy still serving somewhere? Would anyone take in a criminal who abandoned his subordinates?" There is no doubt that the missionary did not have a good impression of Stix. Rego wasn't sure what the reason for his attitude was, but he guessed that the story of the water fairy Gopher might have aroused the priest's compassion.
Joey turned and glared at him. The preacher was startled for some reason and quickly lowered his head and shut up. "More than you think. There are many things to deal with, Bogat?" the captain ordered on the spot, "Go to the basement to find Du Yilin, and find a room to lock her up."
Lock up. The knight scout nodded and carried out his mission without saying a word.
Silversong Knights should not question their superiors' orders, and neither did Rhaego. But the news he overheard made him immediately connect Du Yilin's situation with the wizard. Is there some kind of deal between them? Could this represent a hidden connection between the church and the tower? Or is it just the Sterling family? The female messenger is in the basement, seemingly asleep. Rego didn't know whether she was affected by toxins or something else. The mysterious field was too complicated and he didn't dare to make a conclusion.
Lock up. The captain's order is intriguing. They originally came to the wrong person. The "Twilight Veil" society did not attack the manor. It was Stix who discovered their traces from the slave market. But Rego didn't think anyone would apologize to Dui Lin. In any case, this woman from the tower was one of the sources of trouble.
The elf saint doesn't need anyone's orders. After Rego returned to the manor, she suddenly became the target he needed to guard. It can be seen that she wishes to stay away from Joey, but this tendency is completely opposite to Anais' weakness. In fact, she remained motionless, waiting for others to leave first. "I am willing to stay here for a while." The Forest Saint declared, "There is a smell of the end of life here."
"Very good." Joey, "Rego? If she asks to find the source of this aura, don't refuse. Otherwise, you can't go anywhere." He looked at the missionary again, who subconsciously said He mentioned the prisoner, and then thought about why he did it. Prince Veronka put him and a servant into the team. Rego wanted to take the initiative to find out his purpose, but for some reason, his plan was never implemented. Now it turns out that I can't count on him.
…
The leaves are crunchy and the silt feels like a hunk of melted butter underfoot. The seasons in the dream are difficult to identify, but various details indicate that Mortus is in the midst of the Fire Moon and the Harvest Moon. The night was filled with flames and the orange light of the lighthouse, and the day in the "Confessions" dream was almost over.
"It's been too long, Lord Knight." Unexpectedly, he actually spoke first. Stix climbed to his feet, his arms shaking from lack of blood circulation. "De Luo found someone using the old method to contact the seller in West Lane, so I thought it would be you."
"You got lucky."
"Mortus is not a good place for a free man to try his luck. Especially after you and Candner ended up in this damn place." He said as he tapped his calf with the heel of his hand to relax his muscles. A woman with a tattoo on her face also breaks out of the freeze.
They knew each other, and Uriel put his hand on the hilt of his sword. Stix had been a famous musician in Marandeno, but Bogart said that the Knights of Silversong were fighting against Saint Valoran in the northern forests at that time, and Joey was among them. Could it be that Stix also served as a free agent?
"You have no right to tell me that." The instructor replied coldly.
"Well, if it's Delo, maybe you'll be willing to listen carefully with a guilty heart."
"I didn't force her to be a slave trader."
The woman touched the tattoo on her face. "I just choose to do business." There is no awkwardness in her common language at all. She is almost completely different from Jenners, and of course much better than Joey. "I heard that you converted to Gaia and got a shiny little badge." She giggled, "My mother said that humans like to keep animals in the yard, give them names, wear necklaces and so on. Want me They say that once they are caressed, they deserve a whip."
"I am the Silver Song Knight, not a noble private soldier."
"Really? Your badge is different from the one on my face?"
Joey drew his sword and swiped the tip in front of her nose. "At least its position is not asymmetrical." Uriel saw a drop of blood sliding down the blade. Thousands of years ago, the mentor was no stranger to the method of interrogation. "I'll ask and you answer, otherwise both sides of your face will be equally beautiful, enough to sell yourself." In terms of threats and intimidation, he is far more talented than Uriel. "But don't think about it, Sticks. He only loves princesses."
"Of course, I will answer truthfully. I don't like musicians. Everyone can see clearly what will happen to those who love him."
No one among the prisoners dared to mention the past. By the time the questions were asked, only two of the five were left alive. Unfortunately, the archers and swordsmen died of excessive blood loss, and Deloitte had no choice but to recruit Saint Valorin, because she was recruited locally. Everyone involved in the escort knew that Parsul, the former saint, was a thorn in the side of Saint Valoran and was even ambushed just after leaving the city. The mastermind Stix is naturally still alive, but whether he is the mastermind remains to be verified. Ge Feier said that he wanted to avenge the Silver Song Knight. However, reasonable excuses were everywhere, but the real motive was hard to find.
Perhaps because of Uriel's presence, the guy didn't even talk nonsense. He confessed his purpose: "Bernard Sterling is hiding here, so I'm here. This is a sacred oath."
Joey was looking at the words on the parchment. At the well, Uriel watched as Bogart handed the scroll of oaths from thousands of years ago to his mentor. He almost couldn't help but take out his own parchment to compare. The Silver Song Knight did not sign a contract with it, and the apprentice thought that these mysterious creatures would not sign it until they knew the effect of this mysterious item. In the process, many people would die for the simple experiment. He couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
"This is not your reward."
"It was another target. Not related to Sterling's mission."
"But the employer is the same person."
