Inside the VIP restaurant.
Granuf asked the guard to light a thick black cigarette, took a deep breath, and then sighed rudely: "The chick with musical literacy is really good, compared to the previous few who wanted to pounce on her immediately after giving gifts. Much better in my arms."
"Boss Glennuf, I don't think Miss Grace likes you very much." His close guard whispered.
Glennuf laughed loudly: "That's how you feel a sense of accomplishment. You don't think it's such a great thing to conquer a reserved girl with your own charm."
"Charming..." The close guard was speechless, but he knew very well that being rude, uneducated, nouveau riche, and lustful were just the protective colors of the boss of Granuf, otherwise why should he be one of the maintainers of Sturk's underground order .
At this time, Grace came in through the door opened by the waiter.
Glennuf hurriedly put out the cigarette in the ashtray, and said with some doubts, "Grace, why are your eyes a little red and swollen? Who bullied you?"
"No, it's just that during this period of time to prepare for the concert, I often stayed up late to practice, so I was a little dry and painful when I was blown by the cold wind just now." After temporarily surviving the most feared nightmare, Grace was able to lie to Grannuf with ease. Unhurried, without flaws.
There was a concerned look on Glennuf's swollen face: "I'll ask my family doctor to prepare some medicine for you tonight to help you relieve eye fatigue."
"Thank you, Mr. Graniuff." Grace thanked her and reached out her hand with a smile on her face. She handed the tightly folded note to Graniuf while holding the wine glass in her left hand.
Graneuve thought that his efforts had achieved results. Although this reserved beauty did not dare to express her affection in person, she wrote a note to herself: "Hey, those who study music are romantic."
Grace took a sip of the red wine, watched Graneuve open the note, waited for the opportunity, and slowly put down the glass when he was about to see the content but hadn't fully unfolded it: "Mr. , a gentleman I met in the bathroom asked me to bring it to you."
If Granuf waited until he saw that the contents of the note were not written by himself before explaining, then the act of handing over the note in an ambiguous manner just now would show that he had a deep relationship with Mr. Evans, not what he said. Strange mysterious person, but if it is explained in advance, a rich man like Granuf may not open it in person, and he may hand it over to the guard. This will violate Mr. Evans' confession, so the timing is the most important thing to grasp. And in similar matters, Grace felt that women have a natural instinct.
"You didn't write it..." Granuf asked back in surprise, and at the same time subconsciously folded and unfolded the last layer, and saw a line of text on the note.
Immediately, his voice stopped abruptly, his expression changed again and again, but he quickly returned to normal, and smiled and said: "Hehe, a guy who always remembers the past. He really put in so much effort to find you. By the way, Grace, what does he look like?"
While speaking, he struck a match and burned the note in the ashtray, which seemed not worth mentioning.
Thing of the past? Grace thought puzzledly, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Granuf, I didn't know that my temporary kindness would cause you trouble. Well, he is a black-haired black-eyed..."
Describing the appearance itself in words is very vague, and we can only focus on a few features, and Grace never thought about telling Mr. Evans' appearance, so after she finished describing, Graneuve only knew that it was a He is an elegant and handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, and a guy who fits this description can meet two or three people in ten minutes in various high-class occasions.
Glennuf waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, there is no need to pay attention to him. Grace, let's continue our romantic dinner."
"Romantic..." Grace felt nauseous again, but now she was in an unprecedentedly relaxed and happy mood. If she showed the note given by Mr. Mr. Evans acquiesces in not exposing, and he can continue to live such a beautiful life.
※※※
In the dark corner outside the "Shark" restaurant, Lucien, who had already partially changed his appearance with a magic "disguise technique", quietly watched Granuf presenting him with a silk-tied, golden-colored, ornately decorated pointed boat. Reese goes home.
"Friend, come out, don't be sneaky." Lucien suddenly looked away, and whispered to the empty place in the narrow alley.
A sneer sounded inexplicably, and a black figure protruded from the wall: "It seems that you are the one who sneakily followed and peeped."
This was a middle-aged man who did not hide his appearance. His face was thin and gloomy, his flaxen hair was draped over his shoulders, and his brown eyes revealed a cold and ruthless taste. He was not any of the guards around Granuf.
He carefully looked at Lucien's handsome appearance with black hair and black eyes, then nodded and said, "Are you a magician?"
When Lucien used the "disguise technique", he didn't change the color of his hair and eyes, and he kept his main features, making himself look like another person while trying to be as close to Grace's possible description as possible, so that people can see that this secretly peeping The guy felt that he should be the mysterious person who handed the note just now: "Of course, if I'm not a magician, why would I ask Mr. Granuf to arrange to go to Allinge in the Kingdom of Holm?"
When speaking, Lucien did not hide the supernatural power fluctuations that were ready to go, so that experienced people could understand that it was magic as soon as they felt it.
"Hehe, sir, I think you made a mistake. Graniff is not the liaison of the Magic Council." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I don't know where you heard that This information, but in fact, I am one of the contacts of the Magic Council in Sturk, please call me 'The Ferryman'."
Then, he added: "Because there are too many magicians like you who have received wrong information, we have been following Granuf for a long time and monitoring his surroundings so that we can find and contact you. Look, I won't find it soon." about you?"
Lucien's expression on his face was a little dull, as if he was always wearing a faint smile. He didn't believe the "ferryman"'s explanation at all, and the note he gave Granuf didn't have any mysterious content. , is just a note from an ordinary magician looking for contact and leaving a meeting place. The only special thing is that on the note, Graneuve is directly called the contact person of the Magic Council.
According to the cautiousness shown by Glennuf, Lucien estimated that he would not be able to wait for any response in such an untrustworthy and unguaranteed way, because he would be worried that this was a temptation from the night watchman, so he would definitely not send someone to meeting place. Otherwise, once someone went to meet there, based on the fact that he had seen the note, Granuf would be extremely suspicious. As far as the church is concerned, with this level of suspicion, it can ignore Granuf's identity, status, and the great nobles behind him.
But Lucien's purpose was only to alarm Granuf and let him send someone to secretly look for the voyeurs around him.
In this way, you can "find" yourself who was deliberately exposed and make sure that there are no night watchmen nearby, and even if you are a member of the church, as long as the "ferryman" is not caught and tortured, then Granuf is not seriously suspected. After all, if it wasn't for Lucien's certainty that Felipe would never lie about this kind of thing when facing the "professor" who came from the same parliament headquarters, maybe he would really believe the "ferryman"'s explanation.
"How can I believe that you are the liaison of the Magic Council in Sturk?" Lucien asked in a slightly "excited, excited and suspicious" tone.
"The Ferryman" laughed and said, "If you don't believe me, then I'll leave, anyway, I'm not the one who lost. Think about it, if I were the night watchman of the church, I could do it now, why should I lie to you one by one?" The ring magician going to other places? You must know that once you make a move, the night watchmen can have no fear, but you are different, you have to be distracted and worry about the delay of time, so many priests, bishops and night watchmen in Sturk will come one after another. Come!"
From the magic fluctuations that Lucien deliberately revealed, he judged the approximate strength of Lucien.
"Okay, I believe you." Lucien replied pretending to be helpless.
"The Ferryman" shook his head: "It's useless for you to trust me. The question now is whether I should trust you? There are many rebellious magicians among the church's night watchmen."
"Moreover, two months ago, Mr. Felipe and twenty-two magicians tried to sneak through the blockade but were accidentally discovered, but after that, he led these magicians to forcefully break through, which made the church's high-level officials furious. Not only has he been listed as the 359th in the purification sequence, but also the underground world of Sturk has been cleaned up severely. Due to the disguise of some night watchmen and the appearance of internal traitors, we have suffered heavy losses and have no choice but to Be more cautious and cautious in this regard.”
"This fellow Felipe returned to the Magic Council and caused me so much trouble, uh, my ranking in the purification sequence has become 360?" Lucien asked with his thoughts wandering: "Then how can I prove that?" I have nothing to do with the church?"
If Grace failed to keep the secret and let Granuf know that she was Lucien Evans, Lucien would directly use Natasha's identity and the "Holm Crown" award ring to gain trust, Although it is easy for people to link the professor with himself afterwards, it will be a matter of time if the identity is exposed.
But now it seems that Grace has kept the secret very well, so Lucien will naturally not take any risks.
The voice of the "Ferryman" became a little more relaxed: "Either you find the magician of the council to prove it for you, such as the one who told you the existence of the council and the liaison with Sturk."
"After he told me, he left because of other things. I don't even know his identity and name." Lucien can't be said to be a professor or Felipe.
"Ferryman" was not surprised, and continued: "Either do something that is sufficient to prove your identity."
"What?" Lucien thought to himself, could it be a certificate of honor
"The Ferryman" laughed and said, "Last month, there was a traitor among us. He forgot that his knight strength was stimulated by the potion given by the council. He not only joined the church, but also leaked many important secrets. Many of our companions died. In addition, more than 30 magic apprentices who passed the assessment and had excellent qualifications were buried in the Strait of Storms because of him when they were about to go to the parliament to start a bright future."
"However, this traitor was awarded a knighthood by the city council and lived a good life. If you can kill him, there is no doubt that it has nothing to do with the church."
