Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 11 The First Appearance of the Archangel
39
Audrey entered the dining room anxiously, and saw her father talking with the secretary of the cabinet and several men.She drew an impeccable smile, walked over, took Earl Hall's arm, and said to the others: "Gentlemen, can I borrow Earl Hall for a few minutes?"

She thought that the gentlemen would respond immediately, but she was a little surprised. Except for her father, Earl Hall, all the other men glanced at one of them indiscriminately.

Audrey only noticed this man at this time, and then she couldn't help letting out a small exclamation - this gentleman is actually wearing a half-worn light gray woolen trench coat!My God, this was at Duke Negan's dinner party!This is already extremely inappropriate, and what is even more surprising is that this gentleman's attire is plain, or poor: the blue-gray scarf has been washed white, and the vest also gives people the feeling that they have been worn for a long time. Ao Dai Li even noticed that the soles of his high-top lace-up boots were still stained with mud and dust.

A person dressed like this should appear on the street, in a factory, in a store, in a park, or anywhere, except at the dinner party of a nobleman!
"Of course, this is your right, beautiful lady."

The gentleman had a friendly smile and his dark gray hair was a little messy.He was very young, he looked no more than 20 years old.The eyes were a very light brown, more pale gold in the bright enough light of the crystal chandelier.

A young man, dressed inappropriately but still able to enter the Duke's ball, it seems that even the secretary of the cabinet has to ask for his opinion... There is no such noble in Loen, foreigners?The height is like a Feysac, he looks respected, but the subconscious expressions of other people show impatience...

Miss Audience was aroused, but she controlled herself, she knew there were more important things at the moment.

Audrey pulled Earl Hall to a secluded corner, and said to his fat middle-aged father, "Dad, I have something to tell you."

Earl Hall originally had a doting smile on his face, but seeing his daughter's serious expression, he also became serious: "What is it?"

"I met Baron Gramil just now..." Audrey said the difference she observed, which can be explained with sensitivity and care.She listed the problems in detail, expressed all the doubts in concise words, and then said with some emphasis that the other party seemed to be using perfume to cover up the faint smell of blood.After the description, she considered and added:
"I heard that 'Admiral of the Hurricane' Qilingus has the ability to change into the appearance of others. Isn't he in Backlund recently?"

Earl Hall listened quietly, his expression became extremely dignified.But he soon smiled and comforted his slightly flustered daughter.He realized that there might be an imminent crisis, but he couldn't notify everyone in order to paralyze the other party, so he sent his daughter to the lounge.

On the way to the lounge, Audrey glanced back and saw Earl Hall was communicating with a nobleman in a low voice with a serious expression on his face.

Feeling powerless, Audrey felt uneasy again. She thought she should do something, so she found the small prayer room in Duke Negan's mansion, locked the door behind her, and chanted the honorable name of "The Fool" in the corner.

"...Security is in place and the Duke has been notified. If it is really Qilingus, we will try our best to kill him on the spot."

The middle-aged nobleman stared at Earl Hall with a serious expression: "Baron Gramere is enjoying the dishes now. He had rested at home for two days on the grounds of being unwell and rejected other banquet invitations, but he still came today. And he saw It does appear to be in poor condition, which is true. There is nothing abnormal now, and we can only strengthen security."

"What if that is indeed Chillingus?" Earl Hall frowned. "Perhaps for some reason, he is indeed unable to accomplish his goal tonight. If he does nothing, is it necessary to let him leave like this?"

"Lord Earl, Baron Gramil is a nobleman of the kingdom anyway, we cannot test him without reason."

The middle-aged nobleman was about to speak, but his secretary leaned over and whispered something in his ear.He widened his eyes slightly, and immediately said to Earl Hall: "Baron Gramere just asked the Duke to resign. He is unwell and still needs to rest. The Duke has promised him that a carriage will be arranged to escort him within 10 minutes." Return to the mansion. My lord, it seems that your worries will probably not come true tonight."

"It's a good thing... I hope it's just my overthinking."

It would be best if nothing happened, but Earl Hall was still a little worried when he recalled his daughter's unprecedented serious performance tonight.After being temporarily separated from the middle-aged nobleman, he felt a little restless and his eyes wandered around.Suddenly, he noticed the man sitting on the chair by the wall of the dining room, who had finished the negotiation and was quietly reading a book.

"Mr. Ernst." He walked forward quickly and said to the young man, "Something happened that you might be interested in: I got news that someone suspected of Qilingus appeared at the ball .”

Mr. Ernst's eyes suddenly became dangerous.

"...Lord Earl, thank you for coming here to inform me." He stood up, suddenly showing a sharpness that had never been seen before, "May I ask if the source of the news is reliable and has it been confirmed?"

"Not yet. The suspect is the Baron of the Kingdom. We have no right to do anything." Earl Hall replied without changing his expression.

"That's why I hope to get your help. We can't distinguish the changes of extraordinary abilities, and we can't act rashly, but you may be able to find the clues. If that is the real Baron Gramere, I hope I can see him unscathed. If that is Chillingus, I hope you will kill him or hold him. His reward and my thanks to you will be very rich, and that is exactly what you need, Mr. Richard Ernst."

"Thanks for your kindness, Lord Earl." Richard replied friendly, "Even if the reward is put aside, I will do it for this news—because I have a few blood debts to settle with this pirate general."

The carriage specially used by the Duke's family to transport guests is well-made, and the cushions in the carriage are spacious enough for a person to lie down on their own.The interior decoration is extravagant and gorgeous. Gold and silver carvings climb up from the door panels on both sides to the roof like vines. The jewels reflect the candlelight, giving people an indescribable sense of nobility.

Smelling the incense in the car and sitting on the soft cushion, Qilingos finally felt a little relieved.He opened the silk shade on the window, and saw that the carriage was advancing steadily, and drove out of the first wrought-iron gate at a leisurely pace.He has already left the mansion and entered the outer garden, and in 10 minutes he will be able to completely leave the Duke's house and enter the streets of Backlund.As long as he mixes into this city with a population of over 500 million, no one will be able to find him!
Qilingus' movements and mood relaxed a bit, and his fingers were no longer clenched tightly.He glanced at the quietly burning candle, his pupils constricted for an instant, and suddenly he felt that the candle would burst high and burst, burning the entire carriage and himself to ashes in an instant!

Without thinking about it, he immediately raised his hand and extinguished the candle.

It's the School of Roses!The experienced pirate general immediately realized in the next second that this method of using the surrounding objects to put the opponent to death is exactly what the "prisoner" path expert does!Someone is testing him—how is it possible, when was my disguise seen through? !No, it's impossible. The "Faceless Man"'s disguise is flawless. Maybe it's just that Duke Negan got wind of it and checked the banquet members.

Fortunately, my reaction to extinguishing the candle just now was still within the range of ordinary people, and I didn't reveal my secrets... I should be more panicked...

In the darkness, Qilingus's brain worked quickly.The face that belonged to Baron Gramere quickly revealed a panicked expression that suited his identity and character.He stood up in a hurry, gasping for breath in shock.The intuition of death came again. The moment Qilingus's hand touched the inner wall of the car, a mahogany car door would explode in an instant, glass shards flew everywhere, and sharp wood pierced his head from his eyes, causing him to bleed More than a phantom of instant death!

"Ah!" Baron Gramere screamed in horror, rolled in fear in the carriage, loudly slammed the carriage and cried for help, but the driver and horses seemed unaware.

As if realizing that no one would notice his danger, he hugged his head tightly and curled up in the corner of the carriage, tears and cold sweat on his face.After about a few minutes, the fear caused by everything around him quietly dissipated, the table was still a table, the candle was still a candle, and there was no longer the feeling that my life might be taken away at any time just now.

Gone... Baron Gramere was still sobbing in panic, but Chillingus remained expressionless from beginning to end.He didn't act rashly, and was going to get up slowly after a while, acting like an ordinary person without leaving any doubts. ——At this moment, he suddenly smelled blood.

Close at hand.

He was stunned, and Baron Gramere forgot to act fear for a moment, because he was very familiar with the bloody smell, which came from his left hand.

——The strong man of the Rose School of Thought did not test him this time by putting pressure on the surrounding objects, but directly affected his hand, his left hand, and the "squirming hunger" he wore on his left hand!
A glove that eats people naturally has no loyalty at all!Under the threat of a higher level, this magical item bared its fangs to its current owner without hesitation.It reveals its true figure from its human-skin-like form, and the black gloves open a huge gap that does not match its figure. The crisis of death is pushed directly in front of Qilingos like a high wall!

exposed!He withdrew from the state of the faceless man in an instant, and what greeted him was the entwined and thin silk curtain, which was as agile as hands and feet, wrapped around Qilingos' left arm with the strength to overturn a carriage in an instant. Arm, the pirate general immediately felt that this arm was about to leave him forever.

But he didn't panic, death made him seek life more calmly.He herded the souls of the "sun" path, and opened his arms to embrace the sky. The golden beam of light instantly burned through the roof of the carriage, turning the curtain into ashes.He took this opportunity to jump out surrounded by the wind, and Jiang was startled and looked up to see his coachman wring his neck and squirm into the wriggling hunger, which temporarily satisfied this bloodthirsty magical item, and did not Master swallowed.

He slid in the air, and flew a short distance at an extremely fast speed, aiming at the canal not far away.He had done the work ahead of time, knowing that the canal led to the underground river, and the waterways were closely intertwined like a network, which was undoubtedly the way to escape.Even the strong ones of the Rose School of Thought cannot precisely intervene when they cannot locate his specific location!
There was an explosion behind him, and then Chillingus was hit hard in the back.The heavy wheels of the carriage wrapped in several layers of iron sheets and inlaid with metal decorations flew up to a height of several meters against common sense, and this heavy object of dozens of kilograms hit Qilingos' spine impartially!

The pirate general spat out a mouthful of blood, like a bird hit by an arrow, and fell in the air, almost all the bones in his upper body were broken by the wheels.

But he wasn't dead yet, the sailor's vitality is always tenacious.He struggled to clasp the ground with his fingers and crawled forward, dragging out a winding trail of blood.Two meters away from the canal, one meter——

"Crack."

A leg in black lace-up boots came into view. "Angel of Temperance", Richard Ernst looked down at the fallen pirate and crushed his right hand and wrist lightly.
