Section 228 Phantom
Chapter 228 Phantom
"Not normal." A Jin admitted honestly. "Unless he was bribed and asked me as an agent, I really don't know that there would be other people who would pay such a vain injustice." A Jin said.
"There is another possibility...Ajin, do you remember what happened to our General Belar the day before yesterday?"
The fact that Belar was assassinated by evil god believers in Eagle City has long been spreading, so Ajin immediately realized what Ash Rufate meant - this may be a trap.
"It's not impossible...but now in Eagle City... at this sensitive time, this is not a good time to do something." Ajin said. "But it's really inappropriate to be so mysterious. Ashu Rufate, I suggest you don't go."
"I'm a little interested when you say this." Ash Rufate replied. "There's nothing special these days. I want to meet this mysterious sender."
I want to meet him...Who is this mysterious person who also met the little queen? Because of the overlap in time, it can be confirmed that there are at least two people. In other words, this is a group. At present, in Eagle City, is there such a person who needs to meet him with this trick? If this is not a trap for assassination.
The next moment, an answer immediately popped up in his mind.
...
Whether it was Ajin's or the papers handed over by Aunt Mary, the time and address on it were the same. It was all in an inconspicuous tavern in the dock area of Eagle City.
Can't even arrange a tavern in a noble district? Ashu Rufate walked around the tavern while thinking with some ridicule. But he had money to give Ajin thousands of Jin'olys to pass the message...
The tavern only looks very ordinary from the outside. Moreover, the overall architectural layout, surrounding environment and other factors also determine that this place is definitely not a good place to ambush and assassinate. In addition, Ashu Rufate can also see that the people drinking in the tavern are also ordinary people, not planned assassins.
At least on the surface, there seems to be no sinister conspiracy on this date.
Ashu Rufate looked at the sky. At this time, the sunset in the sky was still bright. The agreed time was "dark", so he arrived early at this time. However, Ashu Rufate didn't care about this, and there was no agreement that he could not be advanced.
In fact, what Ajin said cannot be said incorrect, but at least the possibility is extremely low. In the current Eagle Falcon City, no party has a deep hostility towards Assassination. Or it can be said that assassination also requires costs and risks. For example, the assassination of Berel not only failed, but also caused heavy losses to the evil god believers themselves. With Assassination, it seems that the current situation of Assassination is not yet at the point where he was assassinated at all costs.
Ashu Rufate came to the tavern counter. With just one glance, he could recognize that the boss was definitely an ordinary person. The facts proved this. The mysterious guest just left the boss a commission and asked him to keep a private room. So a few minutes later, Ashu Rufate was taken to a room by a waitress.
"This is the box that your friend has booked." The waitress gave a charming look at Ash Rufat. "Your friend has made a big deal and has been booked for two days, saying it was to 'prevent anything there'."
"Have he not come yet?"
"It seems like that," said the waitress. "Are you going to serve some wine first?"
"No, let's talk about it after he comes." Ashu Rufate replied. After seeing the waitress leaving a little disappointed, he looked at the private room carefully again. In fact, this is really nothing special, it is just an ordinary private room in an ordinary hotel. Ashu Rufate was sure that this was definitely not a place suitable for ambushing and assassination.
He was increasingly confused about what the mysterious person was doing for him. Ashu Rufat sat next to the table and suddenly found a white envelope on the table.
Sure enough...is it just a transit point? He opened the envelope and saw the same neat handwriting with an address written on it.
"The suburbs of the Eagle Falcon City?" Ashu Rufate tore the letter apart. He could feel the faint breath of the magic wind on the letter. Although the letter did not have any extra power, it was infused with the energy of the magic wind in some way.
He looked out the window. Although the sunset was brilliant, the time was very short. At this time, the light had faded and the night was coming.
It was getting dark.
The little girl sat at the table, looking at the strange vase. Today she had sent someone to investigate, and the final result was that the bottle was "unknown source". The mysterious man behind her played a trick of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and then he brought the things to his door, making it impossible for anyone to investigate.
"The time has come." The little girl looked at the sky outside. It was dark, and it was the time mentioned on the note. She was a bit of a girlish curiosity and a bit of uneasiness about the unknown. She knew that she could throw the vase directly into the trash can and let the life-threatening thing blow it away. However, she wanted to know who wanted to meet her and Ashu Rufate at the same time.
Who needs to do such extra things in this country?
"It's almost done, maybe this is really just a joke..." Rotia replied. Just as the "joke" came out of her mouth, a light golden light suddenly flashed from the vase. Then, just before the little girl and Rotia's eyes, a figure emerged from the void.
Even the little girl who was mentally prepared couldn't help but lean back and almost fell down with the chair.
"It's a phantom!" Rotia wanted to calm down a lot, and she realized it immediately. The figure was translucent and was not a physical at all.
When Rotia called out, the little girl came to her senses. At this moment, in front of him was a tall and thin man with a few wrinkles on his face and a beard. He looked quite old. But for some reason, this person did not have the kindness of an ordinary old man at all, but had a sharp aura like a vulture. At this moment, the old man was smiling at her.
"This should be Her Majesty Luvia, Angel, and Markremiz." The old man spoke, his voice clear and pleasant, and it did not match his appearance at all.
Then, the old man—or this phantom—made a standard ceremonial gesture.
"It's very admonishing to ask Her Majesty the Queen in this way." The old man said. "First introduce myself, the following is Marvin. In the words of the Church of the Star Domain Gods, I am a wizard lord of Chaos!" He made a gesture. "Please don't panic, you have no malice in your heart."
Ma Wen raised his head and looked at the little girl with a very respectful expression.
"How did you come from?" The little girl had already calmed down a little at this time. "The magician of the church said..."
"Your Majesty, I can only explain this in this way." Marvin said. "What the magicians in the church master are just the skin. Only we can understand the true mystery of magic."
"Are you the wizard lord of Chaos?" The little girl finally came back to her senses. "Are you invading my country?"
"I am deeply sorry for this." Marvin said, and he was actually a little apologetic when he spoke. "But please believe that this matter has nothing to do with me. In fact, I am also an opponent of this war." He saw that the little girl was disbelief, so he further explained. "Inside us, it is also divided into multiple factions. My subordinates and I are indeed in the army at this time, but we are all forcibly brought in. The war is not our original wish. This war," Marvin said. "The main promoter and initiator are the God-selected God of Blood, the Chaos Lord Blood Teeth. He is bloodthirsty and hopes to glorify the Blood God with this war. I tried to stop it, but in the end I could do nothing."
Marvin saw Rotia beside him. In fact, it was difficult for him not to see it, because Rotia was standing with the little girl at this time. Apart from them, a third person had appeared in a corner of the room, which was Lalia holding a long sword and highly vigilant. Although the little girl pushed the others away, Lalia was always on standby, just in case.
"Your Majesty, this is just a magical projection." Lalia spoke. "He does not really exist here, but only shows the body in a magical way. Although he can communicate with you, it has no ability to harm you. And, as long as you want, you can break that vase at any time to completely destroy this magic."
Marvin stared at Lalia, but did not speak. His expression changed many times, and finally turned his gaze from Lalia back to the little girl.
"Your Majesty, what your subordinates say is true," said Marvin. Since he has been seen through, he has simply made it clear to show his kindness. "As I said just now, I have no malice."
"And," Marvin continued. "I have to meet you in this way for reasons you understand too. If you have troubled you, please accept my apology."
This should be considered... a secret envoy. The little girl has recovered. Since she met and got along with Ash Rufate, her psychological quality has improved so much that she can now face various emergencies well.
Having said that, since the founding of Groni (actually this has been the case before the founding of Groni), although Chaos' invasion was one after another, the incident of Chaos sending special envoys was the first time in the first place. This is because the barbarians did not have the concept of a country. They were partly divided into countless tribes, each tribe belonged to a lord and fought endlessly. These lords were not hereditary, and they could not carry out normal diplomatic activities at all.
This is true even for the army of barbarians that every time they invade. These invading troops are loosely combined and cannot be negotiated at all. Therefore, the two sides have never had any diplomatic contact - the spy exception.
"What are you looking for me?" The little girl decided to go straight to the point and figure out the Chaos Lord's plan.
