Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 99 "Shadow" (Please subscribe! Please ask for a monthly pass!)

The topmost office of the Franzel family's villa.

At this time, Li Ge had already returned here, sat at the desk, and told You Li everything that happened tonight.

Ai En and Ian stood behind Li Ge, adding something from time to time, making Yuli look straight at Li Ge who was sitting opposite her, without saying a word.

".Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Ge felt a little uncomfortable being watched by You Li, so he could only say this.

However, Yuli still stared straight at Li Ge, as if trying to see through him.

no way.

"Don't you want to explain?" You Li said to Li Ge with a tone of joy or sorrow: "Mr. Li Ge who can easily defeat a true swordsman?"

Yes, Ain and Ian told You Li about Li Ge's victory over the leading strong man.

This made Yuli stare at Li Ge in a strange way, and Marilyn on the side was also staring at Li Ge, as if she was about to use torture to extract a confession.

In this regard, Li Ge seemed very natural.

"What do you want me to explain?" Li Ge smiled, and said to You Li: "Can you explain how awesome I am?"

"Awesome?" Yuli showed a puzzled expression.

".It means very powerful." Li Ge paused for a moment, and then, as if off topic, he said: "The main reason is that you didn't ask, I can't let me tell you in front of you how much I am Great, right?"

Li Ge is not so narcissistic yet.

"But you're too outrageous, right?" You Li muttered, "I've never heard that you have practiced sword skills before, let alone that you are a master who can easily defeat a true swordsman."

This is also where Yuli was surprised.

She had already investigated Li Ge and knew all the deeds of his life.

And among these deeds, none of them proved that Li Ge had practiced sword skills.

Even Li Ge's attitude towards swordsmen in the past was quite different from other magicians, and he was somewhat disdainful.

A magician is a noble existence, while a swordsman only knows how to fight and kill. This is a concept held by most magicians, and it is an overly arrogant idea.

Li Ge was the same kind of person in the past, his goal was to become a tactical-level magician or even a strategic-level magician, so as to obtain a knighthood from the kingdom and become a nobleman, and he dismissed swordsmen who could only become thugs of the kingdom and nobles.

Li Ge like this was a little ignorant when he was in the magic academy, so how could he possibly learn sword skills?
This is completely contradictory to the extraordinary strength Li Ge displayed this time.

So, after knowing that Li Ge could easily deal with an assassin at the level of a true swordsman, You Li was really surprised, very surprised.

Of course Li Ge knew about this situation.

Based on his previous performance, he suddenly showed such strength, and those who knew him would definitely be surprised and puzzled.

But Li Ge didn't want to hide from You Li.

"It's just a little adventure for me." Li Ge smiled faintly, and said, "I'll tell you about it later when I have a chance."

The implication is that this matter, on this occasion, is not very suitable to speak out.

That's right.

Li Ge didn't want everyone to know about the Dimensional Rubik's Cube.

Although Yuli is her own savior, even if Li Ge said such incredible things, whether Yuli believes it or not is another matter.

Therefore, Li Ge did not intend to explain too much.

You Li also seemed to see it. Although she couldn't accept it in her heart, Li Ge's unavoidable eyes and gaze still softened the young lady's heart.

"Okay, let's not talk about it for the time being." You Li let out a sigh of relief, turned the topic back, and said, "If we only talk about the outcome of this incident, it's quite something to be happy about."

is not that right?

Although Li Ge was attacked, he was not seriously injured, and he suddenly gained great strength, which undoubtedly made people feel at ease.

At least, now Li Ge can somewhat protect himself, and won't be in a situation where he is at the mercy of others like before.

This is a good thing.

"It's a pity that the attackers all committed suicide. I'm afraid it will become very difficult to find out who the instigators behind them are and whether they belong to the heretic assassins."

Julie said that.

"Is there no way to investigate?"

Rieger asked.

"Investigation is definitely going to be done, but it's hard to say whether there will be any results." Yuli pondered for a while before saying, "According to what you said, they didn't hesitate to confirm that the task could not be completed." Most of them chose to commit suicide, which proves that they have a very mature coping method, and they can act in order to hide their secrets at the moment of defeat."

Under such circumstances, even if you go to investigate, you probably won't be able to find anything satisfactory.

Because the enemy already has a set of mature coping methods and a set of codes of conduct. In this case, they must have considered what kind of investigation will be conducted when the body is taken away after the person performing the task dies.

"Based on this, I personally think that even if the court magician is invited to perform special magic to recall the memory fragments of those corpses' experiences during their lifetime, it probably won't have much effect."

Yuli thinks so, and it makes sense.

If they could abandon a true swordsman level master without hesitation and let all the killers commit suicide by taking poison after the mission failed, then the instigators behind these people must have considered that the corpse would be investigated and magic would be used to collect clues.

"If I'm not wrong, those corpses must have been buried with countermeasures against perception magic, mind magic, memory magic, etc." You Li said: "So, we probably won't find anything useful to investigate. clue."

Hearing this, Li Ge frowned, but he was not disappointed either.

"If you can't investigate it, you can't investigate it." Li Ge said: "Anyway, it's not without gain."

Through this attack, Li Ge understood two things.

One is that the enemy has not given up trying to take his life.

One is that the current self still has the ability to protect itself.

Li Ge, who already knew his position in this world, was not in a hurry.

Even a righteous swordsman would be easily defeated by him, and if the enemy wanted to do anything to him, he would probably have to send a sword master or a magician of the same level.

But Li Ge didn't think that in order to deal with such a "talented" little guy like himself, the people behind this would not hesitate to send a sword master level existence to deal with him.

This is a matter of cost, whether it is worth it or not. I believe the other party will also hesitate to move Li Ge in the future.

In this way, Li Ge can feel at ease a lot.

"I will invite the palace magician from the palace or the high priest of the church to see if I can do something." Yuli didn't want to give up, and said, "If there are any clues or news about this, I will let you know. "

"Okay." Li Ge nodded his head.

The two chatted about some details, and then Li Ge got up to leave.

In the office, only You Li and her party were left.

The relaxed attitude on Yuli's face when she faced Li Ge suddenly disappeared, and she became expressionless.

"Tell me." Yuli cast her eyes on Ain and Ian, and said, "What did you two find?"

Yuli keenly sensed that Ain and Ian had something to say.

If not, these two people should retreat after the task is completed, instead of staying here to listen to her and Li Ge discuss these relatively insider matters.

Ai En and Ian immediately looked at each other.

"Miss." Ian lowered his voice, and said to Yuli: "The skills of those killers are a bit like those from the "Shadow". "

As soon as these words came out, not only Yuli, but even Marilyn's expression changed suddenly.

"you sure?"

Yuli leaned forward unconsciously.

"I'm not sure, but it's really similar." Ai En also spoke out, rarely speaking too much: "I fought with the leading swordsman, although he used a heavy-looking wide-edged sword , but the speed that does not match the physique and the fighting method that can eliminate the movement caused by all the movements to the minimum, are very similar to the obscurity sword skill that "Shadow" is good at using. "

Hearing this, You Li's face gradually sank, and the hands on the desk were clenched bit by bit.

A wave of terrifying magic power slowly seeped out from Yuli's body, making Yuli's face appear icy cold.

"In other words, the one who attacked Lige was not some heretic assassin, but the shadow knight directly under the royal family, right?"

What Yuli said every word made people shudder.

But this is a secret that some people with high status know.

There is an assassination unit in the Kingdom of Jinas.

All the people who belonged to this assassination team were called shadow knights, and only the royal family could know their existence and have the right to mobilize them.

Since Ain and Ian said that the attackers were very similar to "Shadow" people, it means that the people who attacked Li Ge and them were probably Shadow Knights.

So, who can send the shadow knight to carry out the assassination mission?
The answer is already there.

The only thing Yuli doesn't understand is why someone in the royal family is eyeing Li Ge.

Before Youli could figure out this question, Marilyn, who was silent at the side, suddenly spoke.

"The former Mr. Li Ge seems to be very close to the daughter of the Liat family."

With a simple sentence, Yuli understood everything.

Because the Liat family is a vassal of a duke's family.

And that duke's family has been very dishonest in recent years, and seems to have some inappropriate thoughts about the current king and the throne.

Under such circumstances, a future great magician with great potential suddenly came into contact with the daughter of the duke's vassal. Some people in the royal family would overreact, which seemed normal.

In other words, Li Ge was involved in the political struggle and almost became a victim of the political struggle.

"Marilyn, call the carriage."

Julie said something expressionless.

"I'm going to the palace."
