Looking Forward to Another World

The office on the top floor of the Franzel family mansion.

At this time, Li Ge had returned here and sat at his desk, telling Yuli everything that happened tonight.

Ain and Ian stood behind Li Ge, adding words 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 this?"

Li Ge felt a little uncomfortable when Yuli saw him, so he could only say this.

However, Yuli still stared at Li Ge, as if she wanted to see through him.

no way.

"Don't you want to explain it?" Yuli said to Li Ge in a tone that she didn't know whether she was happy or sad: "Mr. Li Ge can easily defeat a serious swordsman?"

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

This made Yuri's eyes look strange as she stared at Li Ge. Marilyn on the side also stared at Li Ge, with a sense of déjà vu that she was going 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 Yuli: "Explain to you how awesome I am?"

"Awesome?" Yuli showed a puzzled expression.

".It means very powerful." Li Ge paused for a moment, and then said as if he had dropped the topic: "The main reason is that you didn't ask, so you can't let me take the initiative to tell you in front of you, how powerful I am. Isn’t it awesome?”

Li Ge is not narcissistic to this extent yet.

"But this is too outrageous, isn't it?" Youli muttered: "I have never heard that you have practiced sword skills before, let alone that you are a master who can easily defeat a regular swordsman."

This is where Yuri was surprised.

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

And none of these deeds prove that Li Ge has practiced sword skills.

In fact, Li Ge's previous attitude towards swordsmen was quite different from that of other magicians, and he was somewhat disdainful.

Magicians are noble beings, while swordsmen only know 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 person in the past. His goal was to become a tactical-level magician or even a strategic-level magician in order to obtain a knighthood from the kingdom and become a noble. He looked down upon swordsmen who could only become thugs for the kingdom and nobles.

This kind of Li Ge was a bit uneducated when he was in the magic academy. How could he possibly learn sword skills?

Compared with the extraordinary strength that Li Ge showed this time, this is completely contradictory.

Therefore, after learning that Li Ge could easily kill even a regular swordsman-level killer, Yuri was really surprised.

Of course Li Ge knew this situation.

Based on his previous performance, people who know him will definitely be surprised and confused by his sudden display of such strength.

But Li Ge didn't want to hide in front of Yuli.

"I just had a little adventure." Li Ge smiled lightly and said, "I will tell you about this if I have a chance in the future."

The implication is that this matter is not very suitable to be mentioned on this occasion.

This is a given.

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

Although Yuli was his savior, even if Li Ge said such unbelievable things, whether Yuli believed it or not was another matter.

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

Yuli seemed to notice it too. Although she couldn't accept it in her heart, Li Ge's unavoidable eyes and gaze still made the young lady's heart soften.

"Okay, let's not talk about this matter for the time being." Yuli breathed a sigh of relief, turned the topic back, and said: "If we just talk about the outcome of this incident, it is quite worthy of happiness."

is not that right?

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

At least, now Li Ge can somewhat protect himself, and he will not be in the same situation as before, where he is at the mercy of others.

This is a good thing.

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

Yuri said this.

"Is there no way to investigate?"

Li Ge asked.

"The investigation must be carried out, but it is difficult to say whether there will be any results." Yuli pondered for a while before saying: "According to your statement, they all did not hesitate when they confirmed that the task could not be completed. They chose to commit suicide, which proves that they have a very mature way of coping and can take action to hide their secrets at the moment of defeat."

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

Because the enemy already has a mature response method and a code of conduct. In this case, they must have considered what kind of investigation will happen when the person performing the mission dies and the body is taken away.

"Based on this, I personally think that even if a court magician is asked to use special magic to recall the memory fragments of the corpse's life experience, it probably won't be of much use."

Yuli thinks so, and it makes sense.

To be able to abandon a master of the swordsman level without hesitation and let all the killers take poison and commit suicide after the mission failed, the instigators behind these people must also have considered that the corpses will be investigated and magic will be used to collect clues.

"If I'm not wrong, those corpses must be buried with means to counter perception magic, psychic magic, memory magic, etc." Yuli said: "So, we probably can't find anything useful in our investigation. clue."

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

"If you can't investigate, you can't find out." Li Ge said, "It's not without gain anyway."

Through this attack, Li Ge understood two things.

One thing is that the enemy has not given up on taking his life.

One thing is that I still have the ability to protect myself.

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

Even a regular swordsman would be easily defeated by him. 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.

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

This is a cost issue and a question of whether it is worth it. I believe the other party will also be hesitant about whether to move Lige in the future.

In this way, Li Ge can feel more at ease.

"I will ask the court magician from the palace or the high priest of the church to come over and see if anything can be done." Yuli did not want to give up and said: "If there are any clues or news in this regard, I will inform you. "

"Okay." Li Ge nodded in agreement.

The two chatted about some details before Li Ge got up and left.

Suddenly, only Yuli and her party were left in the office.

The relaxed attitude on Yuli's face when facing 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 was keenly aware that Ain and Ian had something to say.

If not, these two people would have left after the mission was completed, instead of staying here and listening to her and Li Ge discussing these relatively insider matters.

Ain and Ian immediately looked at each other.

"Miss." Ian lowered his voice and said to Yuri: "The skills of those killers are a bit like the people on the Shadow side. "

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

"you sure?"

Yuli leaned forward unconsciously.

"I'm not sure, but it's really similar." Ain also spoke up, rarely speaking too much: "I fought against the leading swordsman. Although he used a heavy-looking broad-blade sword, , but the speed that is inconsistent with his body size and the fighting method that can minimize the noise caused by all his movements are all very similar to the hazy sword skill used by "Shadow". "

Hearing this, Yuli's face gradually sank, and her hands on the desk clenched little by little.

A terrifying wave of magic power slowly seeped out of Yuli's body, causing a cold look to appear on Yuli's face.

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

What Yuri said word for word was simply chilling.

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

There is an assassination force in the Kingdom of Jinas.

All the people who belong to this assassination force are called shadow knights. Only the royal family can know their existence and have the right to mobilize them.

Since Ain and Ian said that the attackers looked like "Shadow" people, it meant that the people who attacked Lige and them were probably Shadow Knights.

So, who can send the Shadow Knight on an assassination mission?

The answer is already obvious.

The only thing Yuli didn't understand was why someone in the royal family would be eyeing Li Ge.

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

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

In one simple sentence, Yuri understood everything.

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

The 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 potential future great magician suddenly came into contact with the daughter of a vassal of the Duke's family. 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."

Yuri said expressionlessly.

"I'm going to the palace."
