Chapter 531
Anna said softly, "But she has grown up long ago and should be able to make the choices she wants."
"Yeah?"
Mu En looked at Anna's side face.
Perhaps he saw something similar in little Emily. At this moment, Mu En could also feel some long-repressed emotions in her senior sister.
The senior who was rarely really angry was really angry this time.
"I'm sorry, junior."
Anna flipped her hair lightly. The brief fight with the evil god just now did not damage her beauty at all:
"I may not be able to accompany you back to Belland. Such a big thing happened, and the Silence Agency needs me to personally handle the follow-up."
"fine."
Mu En held Anna's little hand and showed a smile to reassure her:
"I'm not a child anymore. I can't find my way without my senior sister."
"You know that's not what I meant."
Anna stared at Mu En seriously, her pretty face looking unusually serious.
"Those people are going after you, junior. Some people want to kill you, and they have reached the point of being crazy."
"...I know that something is brewing in Belland now. But don't worry, senior, it's not the first time I have faced this kind of problem. I will be more cautious in the future. The Duke's Palace will come to pick me up. People are already on their way."
Mu En held her hand harder to comfort Anna, and suddenly her voice was cold and stern, and her eyes flashed with sharp light:
"Besides, when I go back this time, I will completely solve those problems."
…
Although the follow-up support from the Silence Agency is still on the way, resulting in a serious shortage of manpower, the finishing work is indeed proceeding in an orderly manner.
After sealing up the ancient relic [Gospel of the Ignorant] used by Marvin, Mu En followed Anna and went to meet with Kanazawa who had been separated to find the monitor.
"They're dead."
Kanazawa's face was heavy, and anger that could not be concealed flashed across his old-fashioned and serious face:
"Died three days ago."
The room was opened, and a foul smell spread across the floor.
Three men in black clothes with miserable dead faces were lying in the room in strange postures.
There is no rot on their bodies, but there are holes in the flesh left by bugs. It seems that they have been serving as nests for bugs to hatch during this period.
The bugs had obviously been removed, but the body was so mutilated that it was difficult to identify its face.
"Judging from the traces left in the room, they tried their best to resist, but they were obviously unaware of the enemy's attack before resisting. They were attacked by surprise."
Kanazawa said.
"Why? They are watchers."
Anna asked.
"I think there are two reasons."
Kanazawa presented a bracelet that Mu En felt very familiar to Anna along with a document:
"First, the aura on his body has been masked by special props, and second,... Marvin Strymo actually exists in the official intelligence system."
68. Gift
Shadows like ink lines streaked across the sky, deftly bypassing the towering chimneys of Belland in the deep night, overlooking the silent streets in the night. After hovering in the air for several times, the shadow finally passed through the hidden passage and entered an extremely wide space.
The sound of flapping wings broke the silence, and the robin landed on the circular tabletop.
There was still residual warmth on the table, and messy documents were scattered everywhere, indicating that an intense meeting had just ended, and the robin happened to miss that meeting.
But that's not a problem, because he knows very well that the so-called meeting is just for those stupid and greedy guys to contribute their limited strength, and most of the topics are just a formality.
After all, the more important the matter, the fewer people know about it. A fat pig with no fat can't make any contribution to their glory except for being fat.
Therefore, only a few people actually know the full story about the core affairs they are planning.
"Is it done? Mr. Robin."
The speaker is a white tiger standing upright in the center. The dark lines outline a fierce pattern, but the posture holding the red wine glass is extremely elegant, just like a gentleman in a tuxedo walking through a dinner party.
"Of course, Your Excellency Speaker."
The robin bent its wings politely, "Everything is done according to your instructions."
"Heh, from the looks of you, things are going more smoothly than I imagined."
"Your Excellency, Speaker, has a keen eye. It is indeed true. The wandering poet is just a lost dog. As long as you throw him a few bones at will, he will bite people for us.
only……"
At this point, the robin hesitated slightly.
"If you have any questions, just ask them. It's like a saying in Eastwick. You and I are on the same battleship now. Hiding questions from each other before is not conducive to progress."
The white tiger shook the red wine glass and glanced at the robin casually.
"Sorry, Mr. Speaker."
The robin bowed again:
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just feel that the Speaker's move seems too gentle."
"Oh? Gentle? Why?"
"The wandering poet is not strong enough."
Robin said: "At least from the intelligence I collected, although his abilities are weird, they are definitely not as good as the configuration used to siege Moon Campbell last time.
What's more, the agent sword holder of the Silence Agency next to Moon Campbell this time is also a mysterious figure that we don't know much about yet.
With this increase and decrease, I don't think this attack can have any effect. Instead, it only increases Campbell's vigilance. "
"...Yes, far worse."
Bai Hu answered truthfully:
"Mun Campbell was able to successfully escape under almost impossible circumstances last time. It is naturally even more impossible to successfully take his life this time. We underestimated him far. We once regarded him as a waste that is not worth mentioning, but now , that little lion has gradually revealed its fangs, we can kill countless trash, but it is difficult to kill a real lion. "
"That……"
"but!"
The white tiger suddenly turned his head to look at the robin, and on that tiger's full-faced face, there was an extremely anthropomorphic and meaningful expression:
"Do you really think I'm trying to kill him again?"
"Um?"
Robin was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "In other words, your real goal is..."
"Yes, lions are difficult to kill, so we have to change our approach."
Bai Hu sneered, crushed the cup in his hand, and looked at the distant night sky:
"So, it doesn't matter whether he can kill Moon Campbell this time. What matters is that the wandering poet can kill people. Kill many, many people and attract enough attention. This is enough. In this chess game, who has more chess pieces? , whoever is sure of victory, and what I have to do is destroy the opponent's chess pieces.
...As for Moon Campbell, I have another gift that I am about to give to him. "
…
"Marvin Strymo."
Mu En stared at the information he had just obtained in his hand.
In this document sent by the empire's central intelligence system, it completely records the information of 131 people with the same name and 13 related people with the same name and surname.
After screening, the person who coincided with the evil believer Ma Wen just now was the son of a small chamber of commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce named Stelimo went bankrupt three years ago due to poor management. The son of the Chamber of Commerce, who was originally living a wealthy life, could not accept this gap and suffered from mental problems. He immersed himself in poetry and wandered around all day long.
Looks pretty consistent.
But he was not the Marvin whom Mu En had just killed.
Because in the internal information of the Silent Agency, it has been determined that the real identity of Marvin, who killed more than 500 people in the town, is Fred Doel. An old gangster who has been in business for ten years.
That is to say...
"Someone sold those innocent townspeople to evil believers."
As for who did this...
Mu En rubbed the broken bracelet in her hand, her eyes filled with light as cold as ice.
He had seen this bracelet before. Just a few months ago, he had suffered an assassination in the restaurant where he and Liya first formed a bond.
The reason why the assassin was able to get close to him was because he wore the same style of magic bracelet, which concealed his aura.
The same trick was performed again in this small town three days ago. The monitor stationed here was killed without any resistance, so that the Silence Agency never received any warning from the beginning to the end.
"Can you find out the origin of this thing?"
Mu En threw the bracelet into the darkness outside the car window.
"needs time."
An emotionless voice came from outside the window.
"ASAP."
"Yes, Master."
Mu En withdrew her gaze and rubbed her temples tiredly.
The side effects of forcibly using the black flames that were far beyond his realm still existed, and he now felt very empty inside his body.
After all, unlike his senior sister's fragment of authority inherited from the moon, the black sun in his body looks very powerful, but in fact it has an extremely powerful personality but no corresponding power.
The previous evil spirits seemed to have been used to enhance his status.
Therefore, every time the black flame is activated, the black sun will draw magic power and fighting spirit from him crazily, and cannot be used casually like the senior sister.
To put it simply, he was squeezed dry again.
"The reason is that the realm is not enough."
Mu En sighed sadly.
I always feel that there are too many things in him that are beyond his age. Whether it is the alchemy core behind him or the black sun in his body, each of them is like a thirty-year-old young woman, hungry and thirsty for him. The immature children asked wildly.
It's like driving a small one and a large one. It's really exciting to drive, but after a long time and with too much force, you can't stand it at all.
But even though she was so tired, Mu En still got on the carriage sent by the Duke's Palace to greet her overnight, hurriedly said goodbye to her senior sister, and embarked on the road back to Belland.
The reason why he was so anxious was because when the people from the Duke's Palace came to greet him, they brought two pieces of news.
The first one, the current emperor of the empire, Aldrich III, suddenly suffered from a serious illness. The cause of the disease is unknown, but it is said that the doctors in the palace tried their best, but nothing could be done.
As for the second news...
Celecia, the third princess of the empire, had a fierce quarrel with His Majesty the Emperor for unknown reasons when she went to meet His Majesty the Emperor, who was seriously ill. Then... she was placed under house arrest.
The details are currently unknown, but no matter which news it is, it is enough to set off a storm in the empire.
These two pieces of information, like the foreshadowing of a storm, directly interrupted all of Mu En's plans, forcing him to hastily part with his senior sister, and he didn't even have time for the last tenderness.
But he had to speed up.
Because if a giant ship was about to sink in Belrand, then the fact that the emperor was seriously ill was undoubtedly the first rivet that broke on the giant ship.
Everyone was looking forward to it, waiting to see which ship would sink.
So Mu En had to go back as soon as possible to make sure that it was not the ship he was standing on that sank.
"So, did you get some news in advance that made you act so crazy?"
Mu En tapped his knees with his fingers and began to think along this line.
"In other words, the real target of this Marvin incident is not necessarily me... but my senior sister, no, the Silence Agency?"
Mu En suddenly realized.
