Because he received the task of arresting Robin, Leylin was in a bad mood all night.
No matter how this matter develops, it will ultimately be detrimental to the Ouroboros Ring.
A disciple of the morning star shaman has betrayed, which will deal a fatal blow to the emotions of the warlocks who have just stabilized.
But since it was Gilbert's intention, Leylin could only follow through.
However, he always felt that this matter might not be so simple.
…
"Welcome, Leylin!"
Robin laughed loudly and hugged Leylin, with a happy smile on his face, as if he was not affected by the news at all.
At this time, Robin is still a very young male appearance, if the numerous imprints on his face are ignored.
Compared with the last time we met, the mark on the forehead of the other party was even more terrifying this time, almost occupying most of his face, making Robin's original face look very hideous and terrifying.
"Senior Robin!" Leylin had a stiff smile on his face.
After the brief physical contact with the other party just now, his whole body shivered, and every pore on his body tightened.
This feeling, as if Robin had turned into some ferocious beast, made Leylin's body automatically alert immediately.
Leylin looked past Robin and scanned the clansmen behind him.
The family Robin belonged to was the Barbour family. Even in the entire Ouroboros Ring, it was a long-established aristocratic family with a very pure bloodline and great influence.
In the previous adventure, Robin could casually send out five third-level warlocks, and even brought a pure-blooded nephew, showing a strong family background.
But now, the faces of the young men and women who followed Robin were clouded, to be precise, they looked lifeless.
What surprised Leylin even more was that, behind Robin, none of the elders of the family disappeared, not even a few magicians above level three, and even Roja disappeared without a trace.
"In this case, something big must have happened!"
The premonition in Leylin's heart became clearer and clearer, but the expression on his face became more sincere and apologetic: "Sorry, senior, according to the teacher's order..."
"Oh! Don't worry, this matter is completely a misunderstanding! I will go to the headquarters with you tomorrow to explain!" Robin was very frank.
As he spoke, he enthusiastically stepped forward to invite Leylin: "You haven't visited my castle and laboratory, have you? You will be staying here tonight. Your vassals are also my distinguished guests. I have prepared sumptuous meals for them. Dinner, I believe you will like it here... "
Facing Robin's enthusiasm, what else could Leylin say? He could only take the vassals who came all the way with him, and stayed in the vacant room specially reserved by Robin.
The oak floor exudes a layer of oily luster, the surrounding is full of the smell of incense, and the four walls are covered with portraits, armored swords and the like.
Although Pike didn't have any special knowledge of appraisal in this area, he also knew that this room was definitely one of the best rooms in the castle.
"It's just, my lord... you..." But now Pike didn't have the slightest interest in looking at the legendary helmet decorated with colorful bird feathers, but stood in front of Leylin with a worried expression on his face.
"I know, you want to say that I was ordered to arrest Robin, but now I get mixed up with him, which will inevitably arouse suspicion and attacks from many people..."
Leylin was lying on a chair inlaid with a huge ruby, and he waved his hand to interrupt Pike's next words.
"But what can I do? Robin is my senior after all, and before this matter is investigated, we can't make a conclusion!"
"Anyway, the other party has promised to go back with us tomorrow, and we don't need to ask for anything else..."
Listening to Leylin's words, the wry smile on Pike's face did not diminish.
This is of course the most normal situation, but the current Robin has a little bit of madness even from his point of view, which cannot be deduced by common sense.
Moreover, it is hard to guarantee that the other party does not have the intention of paralyzing them first and then killing them all at the end.
Among the fiefs of many bloodline nobles, they are well-deserved kings. Even orders from the headquarters are sometimes resisted explicitly or secretly.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Just when Pike was about to say something, there was a steady and regular knock on the door.
From behind the door, a childish female voice came: "Dear Marquis! The dinner party has already begun!"
"Come in!" Leylin nodded.
The door opened, and a girl dressed as a maid with baby fat on her face appeared in front of Leylin and Pike.
It seemed that it was the first time to see such a high-level visitor, and the maid's face was still flushed with nervousness.
"It's nice to be young..." Leylin unceremoniously stepped forward and pinched the opponent's cheek, causing the flush on the opponent's face to reach the neck.
From this girl, he felt the pure Komoin bloodline breath, and she seemed to be somewhat related to Robin, not even far away.
From the point of view of blood, this girl is very promising, maybe she is a direct descendant of the Robin family.
But in order to greet Leylin, he still had to change into a maid outfit.
"What's your name?" Leylin asked with a smile, while Pike stood aside expressionlessly, as if he didn't notice Leylin's actions at all.
As a high-level warlock and once in charge of a warlock family, he is completely immune to such things.
Even if Leylin did something in front of him, he could still stand tall and straight like a pine tree.
"E... Edda, my lord!" The maid's voice was full of tears, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
At her age, she naturally knows a lot of things.
If the high-ranking bloodline noble on the opposite side wants her, I am afraid that neither the patriarch nor the parents will stop her in the slightest, and they will even happily send her there.
Therefore, although she was about to cry, Ada held back firmly.
Fortunately, Leylin's teasing came to an end. He looked at Ada, whose face was almost flushed, and asked gently: "I have a good friend in the Barber family, named Roja, do you know him?" Is it?"
"Uncle Roja?!"
The little girl lost her voice, but immediately remembered something, and looked at Leylin with vigilance.
But it doesn't matter, from the opponent's performance just now, Leylin knew a lot.
"Don't be afraid! He and I are good friends. If there is anything he needs, I will definitely help!" Leylin keenly noticed the hostility hidden deep in Ada's heart, and put on the most kind smile on his face.
"Uncle Roja...he's locked up!"
The little girl seemed to have struggled in her heart for a long time before she finally murmured, the voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
"Understood, I will try to rescue him!" Leylin patted the little girl's head and made a promise.
…
"How likely do you think she is to tell the truth?"
After dismissing the maid, Leylin asked calmly.
"The possibility is not high, after all, they are sent by the other party!" Pike shook his head.
"I think so too, but it's also possible that some other forces in the Barber family brought us the information..." Leylin rubbed his chin.
He had a premonition that this trip to the Barber family might not be that simple, and many unexpected things might even happen.
"Don't worry about that much, let's enjoy the banquet!"
The atmosphere in the living room was tense, and a few seconds later, Leylin let out a chuckle, breaking the silence.
"Of order! Master!" Pike nodded, and followed behind Leylin. He was wearing a black tuxedo with a beautiful tie on the collar, as if he had already prepared for it.
While Leylin and the others were enjoying the wine and food of the Barbour family, and even the enthusiastic female sorceress, in the depths of the ancient castle, an invisible darkness was constantly spreading.
"Deliberately leaking information to the other party, your plan is really rough..."
In a dark and narrow room, a blue mysterious imprint floated in mid-air, and a middle-aged man's voice came faintly.
"Don't worry! I know him very well. As long as I know the news, I will definitely pursue him!"
Talking to the imprint of the secret method was a figure whose whole body was filled with black gas. Numerous peristaltic blood vessels emerged from the black gas from time to time, densely packed, making the scalp numb.
"I don't care about your plan, but that Leylin must be handed over to me!"
The voice of the blue imprint of the secret method was a little gritted, as if he had some deep-rooted hatred with Leylin.
"The transaction and cooperation between us is not once or twice, you can rest assured!"
The figure inside the black air was silent for a while before continuing to ask.
"Actually, these are trivial matters. What I want to know more is when are you going to do it?"
"Soon... The Council of Elders of the Ouroboros Ring will soon become a thing of the past. Only then can our plan be launched. After all, the counterattack of the three Morning Star warlocks is unbearable even for the Huiyue wizard." …”
The last words of the middle-aged wizard came from the blue mark, and then the light completely dimmed.
"soon… "
The figure inside the black air pondered, and suddenly chanted some syllables.
A lot of black gas dissipated, revealing a face that Leylin was very familiar with.
Leylin, who was at the banquet, was naturally ignorant of all of this. Now he is like a huge butterfly dancing among the flowers.
The enthusiasm of the female sorceresses of the Barber family almost melted many sorcerers, and many sorcerers brought by Leylin were also immersed in joy.
"I always feel that things will not be so simple..."
Pike was leaning against a pillar with his wine glass, watching Leylin's performance, but a look of incomprehension flashed in his eyes.
