Aicilia used some barrages of fire to attack one of the men in black. Almost all of them missed, as they all rubbed against the edge of the clothes. The special material did not cause the clothes to ignite directly.
It seems that these people are well prepared and are completely different from the newbie who was looking for a frame-up.
Soleichuan and Aicilia were both bare-handed, and could hardly respond to the daggers of those people.Some men in black on the periphery began to draw spells in their hands.There is no gap to escape. There are four people surrounding the inner circle, and a total of six people standing in the outer circle. They stand at the six corners at equal distances. Even if they escape the attack from inside, the people outside will definitely take over and attack immediately. , no matter how they do it, they will need to be attacked by at least four people.
An outstretched dagger was grabbed by Soleichuan's wrist. As soon as black lightning flashed, the wrist immediately fell to the ground.Upon seeing this, a man in black from the periphery rushed over and released a burst of green elf light at the broken arm. The corrosion of "Original Sin" immediately stopped.
Soleichuan was stabbed in the shoulder by another man in black, and blood flowed out, exceeding the normal amount of blood. It seemed that the knife had undergone some special treatment.Icilia was also parrying the rapid attacks of those men in black. Icilia was very unaccustomed to fighting without a sword. She had always used magic as a cover and barrier, and physical strikes as her main means of attack. She couldn't do it. A pure magician.
We have fallen into a relatively desperate situation, but as long as time goes on, reinforcements will definitely come.
Suoleichuan concluded that this was the busiest place within the Second City Wall. The commotion just now might have led to the dispatch of military personnel.As long as you hold on, everything will be saved. Now that I don't want to use the power of "original sin", there is no need to waste it here.
The crystallization of the entire front chest surface makes it difficult to move the arms.
Chapter 27 The Men in Black
Soleichuan took advantage of the break in the attack to pick up a dagger from the ground and threw the dagger with his puppet prosthetic limb.
No matter how fast they moved, they couldn't move faster than Soleichuan's prosthetic leg, and a man in black was penetrated through the throat.Wise Wolf Hero has now agreed to temporarily put his soul to sleep and leave all actions and control to himself, so there is no need to worry about going on a rampage.
Looking at the man in black who fell to the ground, he slowly began to spontaneously ignite and turned into ashes after a while. This was a magic to prevent others from knowing his identity.
A golden light flashed, and two men in black fell to the ground.
The person who appeared in front of Soleichuan with a sword in his hand and smiled was not Aicilia, nor was he a member of the military who came to support him.
Instead, it was Fiona, a one-eyed woman who wore rustic clothes, sloppy hair, and a somewhat silly smile.
The two men in black also spontaneously combusted and turned into ashes.
What kind of consciousness do you have to carry out such an assassination, even if you die without a single bone?
"Who sent you! Why did you use the power of elves!" Fiona's stern expression made her look completely different from when she met her in the library before.
The men in black saw that the situation was not good for them, and the remaining seven people left here immediately.
"Why are you here all of a sudden?" Blood kept pouring out of Soleichuan's shoulder, and no matter how hard he pressed the blood vessels, it was of no use.
After Fiona was no longer aware of the breath of the men in black, she put away her sword and came to Soleichuan's side, "That's a curse. Those daggers are all cursed. If the curse is not lifted, , blood will not coagulate."
Then he stretched out his hand and started chanting, but nothing happened, but when the chanting in Fiona's mouth ended, the bleeding rate on Soleikawa's shoulder obviously became normal.Soleichuan immediately tore off a piece of shirt from his coat and tied it around his shoulder to bandage it.
There were almost only the three of them left on the road. Freya Avenue, which was originally bustling with people, was deserted, and the ground was full of abandoned food or flowers.Occasionally, a few people would peek out of those shops to take a look at the situation outside, but they would not dare to come out.
Fortunately, there were no civilian casualties. It seemed that the goals of the men in black were clear.
"Why are you here?" Fiona's tone obviously lost the previous foolishness.
Soleichuan immediately replied, "We have never been to the Royal City before. We heard that Freya Avenue is very lively, so we came to take a look. When we were finishing lunch, we unexpectedly met Mr. Chrisman, and it happened to be I met the captain of the library team who may be related to the princess attack case again, and they even entered the restaurant together."
"Are you going to discuss such a thing on the street?" Fiona turned around without saying anything and entered an alley on Freya Avenue.
Soleichuan and Aicilia also followed.
This unknown alley on the side of Freya Avenue is not lively and has a feeling of being deserted.Maybe it was just because this road was behind the houses, or maybe it was because of the commotion just now that there were only a few scattered people along the way.
In the end, Freya chose a small bar, which was like a small room stuck inside a high wall.
The decoration is very simple, almost just using some clean wooden boards to tie up the interior.
There was only one uniformed waiter at the bar, and the bar was empty.
"This place is really shabby." Suoleichuan couldn't help but sigh, mainly because the contrast between here and the royal city outside was so rich.
The seemingly simple place is actually particularly conspicuous in the royal city.
The wooden floor also made a creaking sound.
Looking at that Fiona, Soleichuan estimated that she would be a few years older than him. Even so, she should be the age of a girl in her prime, but Fiona seemed to have nothing to do with dressing up and makeup.In this glorious royal city, she seemed like a woman from another world.
Instead of using cigarette powder to cover the freckles around his eyes, he also wore a pirate-like black eye patch, and wore a thick broad-bladed sword at his waist.Judging from the reaction speed just now, perhaps the strength is even higher than that of Aicilia. The training from childhood must have been extremely difficult.
She said to the waiter in front of the bar, "As usual, lend me the room for a while."
Then she led Soleichuan and Aicilia into a small door on the side of the bar. The inside was very dark, and Fiona waved her hand to light a few oil lamps on the wall.
In fact, in St. Floride and some larger cities, the use of this kind of lamp is no longer popular.The magic electricity generated based on the magic circle has begun to use "electricity" as an energy source in a wide range of areas, and the electric lamps used for lighting have become relatively popular.
But the corresponding cost is also relatively expensive, requiring some electrical mages to activate the magic array in shifts to generate a steady stream of current.
The bar did not appear to have electricity.
"Actually, I didn't intend to intervene, but since those men in black used forbidden magic, I had to intervene." Fiona randomly picked a chair and made it.
There was a polished black piano in the room, a painter, and various paints were sprinkled on the floor and on the walls. The whole room was messily painted with various paints, giving people a crazy feeling after entering.In short, the rack was very clean and had a contradictory feeling with the surrounding environment.
The chair Fiona is sitting on is also the only chair here. It is not high and very simple, with a wooden board and four legs.
"In other words, you have been watching us from the beginning?"
"Why are you being targeted by those people?" Fiona asked in a questioning tone.
"Who are those people?" In the final analysis, Soleichuan had no idea who the people who had just attacked him were.
"It seems that you really don't know anything." Fiona sighed, "If nothing happens to those men in black, they should be Nightingales."
"Nightingale?" Aicilia asked, as if she had heard something about it, "Remember, it should be a thieves' guild in the royal city, right?"
"It's almost exactly like that. It's also a new thieves' union in the past ten years."
"What does the Thieves Guild have to do with us?" Soleichuan was puzzled. "And...why would the Thieves Guild use such magic?" Whether it was the curse on the knife or the power of the elves used by the man in black. Well, this made Suleichuan feel incredible.
Chapter 28 The Nightingale
"They are not a simple thieves union. They are indeed that in name, but they neither steal money nor plunder. According to my guess, they are hidden and disguised among the people of the royal city, so the Ministry of Justice also There is no way to launch a large-scale search and investigation in the royal city. What they are obsessed with is..."
Fiona paused for a moment, "As for the theft of library books. They have repeatedly stolen books in the library in the past few years. And even if they issued a crime declaration in advance every time, they couldn't stop it. It's not just outside books. Books on the Internet, they even had books stolen from the Forbidden Library several times.”
"Is Nightingale such a powerful force?" Soleichuan finally understood why those people used the power of elves.
"No, there is a mole in the library team." Fiona looked up at Soleichuan resolutely, "Someone in the library team has desecrated the knowledge of books, and they have done things that violate their principles." She suddenly clenched her fists. , "Unforgivable..."
"Is this why you are acting crazy and acting stupid with us in the library?" Icilia said, carefully studying Fiona. No matter how you look at her now, she is a clear-minded woman.
"Everyone in the library team can't believe it now. They can't even imagine how those nightingales invaded the library and stole books every time. Maybe the degree of corruption in the library team is very high, and many high-level officials may be involved." Fiona was full of resentment, "Perhaps not only the library team, but also the top management of the affairs officer must be involved."
"Like Mr. Chrisman?" Soleichuan didn't hide it.
"Most likely."
"Then what is the purpose of your date with Mr. Chrisman today? Does he want to win over you?"
"This matter has nothing to do with those things." Fiona was obviously unhappy. "I decided to hope that you can help me after I saw you being attacked by Nightingale. No one in the library team can believe it, but I To change this situation, I need more help and intelligence on my own."
Soleichuan was shocked when he heard this. Is Fiona really Chrisman's illegitimate daughter?If this is the case, it is too ridiculous.
"I think you have almost all the information I have here. Perhaps it should be said that your information is definitely much greater than ours, right?" Aicilia's words are correct.
Although Soleichuan is the so-called hero of the empire, it is just vanity at present and does not deserve the title. He is just an idol created by the empire.In the National Assembly, among the secretariat, and even in isolation, there are almost no people at the top who think highly of Soleikawa.
As the captain of the library team, Fiona has deeper contact with people and will naturally get more information from all aspects.
Soleichuan asked first, "First of all, did anyone from the library team go to the palace last night?"
"I have no way of knowing. It's very easy for people at the top to change outing records. I'm just the captain of the patrol team, so it's impossible to know about such things. But the new group of team members are indeed very suspicious."
"New team members?" Soleichuan remembered that Ai Fuluo's military headquarters also seemed to have a mole.
"Well, how should I put it, they are too obedient." Fiona raised her legs and looked at Soleichuan, "Generally, I will pay extra attention to the new members of the library team. Some of the people who have joined the team before, basically Every once in a while, they would break some team rules or appear lazy. But the new group of people who came in three months ago didn't feel that way at all. They were as familiar with the location and some rules as the old players."
"Well, if you say that, it's too strange no matter how you think about it. The military seems to have the same thing."
"Is there also a mole in the military? Although I am not interested in politics, I only want to be loyal to angels and gods. But I heard that Ai Fuluo, who has been imprisoned, seems to be a good young man."
When he heard this, Soleichuan's nerves were pricked.
There are no gods in the world, and there are no angels in the world.Everything is a lie from the Empire, everything is a story made up for the Empire’s unknown conspiracy.Just like the illusory title of "Imperial Hero", it is just a "fake" created to make people believe in it.
The empire has created countless "truths" to rule this country where people believe in angels.
For 300 years, there has been no flaw. No one knows whether there is a god or not. No one knows whether it is an angel.In the current Percy Empire, even gods are just tools they use to carry out political activities.
There is no need for Soleichuan to share this part of the information with Fiona. It will only cause unnecessary confusion. For now, let's just assume that the gods do exist.
"Do you have a way to find out the list of those newcomers? I hope you can provide one. As a member of the library team, you must have many actions that are difficult to carry out and investigate." The most important thing now is to rescue Alfolo. , if you can grasp the power of the military, then if you show the truth to Ai Fuluo, he will definitely understand.The possibility of fighting the Empire will also increase.
Fiona picked up a piece of paper, took out a pencil and started writing.
"Hey, do you remember all their names?"
Fiona just smiled and did not answer Soleichuan. The pencil in her hand made a swishing sound, and her handwriting speed was so fast.
After a while, a dense piece of paper was handed to Soleichuan.
"I have to say this is really amazing..." Looking at the piece of paper filled with names, numbers and personality traits, "But, are there only so many people?"
Although the paper is full of words, Fiona actually gave the names of less than ten people in total, and the majority of the page was devoted to describing their team numbers, personalities, characteristics, hobbies, body shapes, and catchphrases.To what extent can we use our brains to record so many things about those newcomers?
"Well, basically there are just a few." Fiona said in a confident tone, "I believe my vision is not wrong."
Basically, after reading Fiona's detailed list, you can clearly recognize the characters on it even if you pass each other on the street.Wherever there is a mole on the face, it is recorded.
"One more question, what is your relationship with Chrisman?" Although Soleichuan felt that Fiona didn't seem to be cheating or fooling him, he couldn't help but worry about their meeting just now.
"It seems like you won't believe me if I don't tell you." Fiona let out a long sigh.
Chapter 29 Fiona’s Determination
"I hope you can understand that I am indeed very sensitive to this kind of thing now. Many times I feel that my judgment ability is indeed very flawed, and it is difficult to distinguish between good guys and bad guys." Soleichuan tried his best to joke. tone.
"I am the daughter of a prostitute." The moment Soleichuan finished speaking, Fiona spoke, "My purpose in joining the library team is to defeat Chrisman, pull him down from that position, and imprison him. go to jail."
It seemed that Soleichuan's previous prediction turned out to be right, which made him unable to say a word now. After hearing such truth, all the words were stuck in his throat.Sometimes the truth is cruel, but it has to be exposed.
But when Fiona spoke, she didn't seem to care. This made Soleichuan suddenly think of Uzi Cuxi. When she was talking about her own affairs, she seemed to have the same expression as Fiona. It's like telling someone else's story.
"Of course it is false to say that we are guarding for the power of knowledge. The reason why I joined the library team at first was just because I felt that the library team was a place that was completely away from politics, and where I could gain extraordinary power. But in the end, when I When I reached the state where I thought I could stand on my own, I discovered that all the organizations in the empire were rotten, and this country was rotten."
At this time, Fiona seemed a little disappointed. Compared to her past, she felt even more annoyed about being unable to change the current situation.
"So when you were in the library, did you also pretend to have such off-line conversations?" Soleichuan asked.
"I really don't know how long-term you are. Now that you know that there may be people in the library team to assist Xiliman, you still directly say everything you think in that kind of public place. If someone really What do people who are in cahoots with that old slick guy Chrisman do when they hear that?" Fiona said. "It's still very difficult to have that kind of conversation all day long."
"But if you do this, others will feel that you are abnormal. Why do you speak like that? Others will be surprised, right?" Suoleichuan continued, "But in fact, we have no time here. If this conspiracy is not exposed, If we find out who really assassinated the princess, Ai Fuluo will not be released, and the southern front will collapse immediately."
"I said before, political matters have nothing to do with me. I just want that old scumbag to become the object of contempt for everyone!"
Just killing Chrisman is a matter of seconds for Fiona now.
But killing him might increase Chrisman's reputation and prestige, and he might still be respected by people after his death. This was not allowed, as it would not vent the resentment in her heart.All his rights must be exploited, his wife must be separated and his family must be destroyed, and he must be imprisoned and become a despised object.
Fiona could not forget the tragic situation when those people spurned her mother and beat her to death. Every time she thought of it, she would tremble and bite her lip.When a bastard sent someone to poison his mother and then said disgusting words,
"Fione, your mother is a dirty woman. You can't live with her. Your clarity will be tainted by her darkness. Come on, come to daddy. Dad will always take care of you. , so that you can become a princess-like woman without having to suffer, be burdened, or endure such a life of poverty and discrimination."
These words were spoken by Chrisman next to Fiona's mother.
The mother, who was so tired from taking care of her all day long that her eyes were dark and sunken, rolled her eyes, but the murderer actually said he was his father.
Can't forgive, Fiona can't forgive this kind of thing.
There is no way that kind of murderer could be her mother. Fiona had known about such a thing for a long time, and she had already decided on such a thing.I have no father, only my mother.
His mother was the lonely and helpless woman who gave birth to her after being played by Chrisman, and was forced to become a prostitute.Fiona, a mother like that, has never felt dirty or disliked her.Although her mother didn't tell her, Fiona, who had been well-behaved since she was a child, knew where her mother went to work when she dressed up every day.
She also knew that it was a shameful thing, and she was always looked down upon by the children around her.
"That's the bitch's daughter."
Fiona was evaluated like that in the past.
But she knew that her mother was not dirty. Her mother worked painfully every day so that she could survive.
But when Chrisman, who was neatly dressed, stretched out his hand to Fiona, he felt extremely resistant to that hand in his heart.That is a dirty hand, no matter how clean it is, it will still make people sick.
Fiona no longer continues to recall it. Every time she thinks of it, she feels heartbroken beyond words.
When he returned to reality, he saw Soleichuan showing a sly smile.
"I am a devil, are you willing to make a deal with the devil?"
