I will be crowned king

After writing the reply to Sophia, Anson read it from beginning to end, making sure that there were no typos or mistakes, and that the words were sincere and full of sincerity before he solemnly put the letter aside.

Then he picked up the pen again and began to write another letter to Thalia:

"Dear Miss Talia, thank you very much for your last reply. The information and intelligence you provided have benefited me a lot and even saved my life to some extent. The specific situation is as follows..."

"...After a lot of dealings, I finally defeated the two Ysel elf spellcasters who tried to assassinate me. One of them was a conjurer who was good at invisibility and seemed to have some kind of 'silence' ability, and the other was a powerful conjurer. A blood mage with recovery ability and physical strength; and as you once described, it is indeed slightly different from human spellcasters..."

"...I suspect that they are related to the Thirteen Council, and I found a ruby ​​gold ring similar to a token from their possession; but at present, I still don't know where there is a conflict of interest between myself and the Thirteen Council. At the same time, I am very suspicious of their relationship with the Thirteen Council. The old god sect in Hantu is involved..."

"...I wonder if dear Miss Thalia, can you help me clear up my doubts?"

After cautiously writing the last paragraph, Anson, who was about to finish writing, suddenly paused and hesitated for a full minute before writing again as if he had made great determination:

"In addition... the distance from Hantu to Clovis City is too far, and communication through letters alone can easily cause news lag; regarding the specific details of the Thirteen Councils, what are the differences between the Ysel elves and the old gods of humans? No, there are more things I want to ask you for.”

"I wonder if the Luen family has a more convenient way to transmit information over long distances?"

Anson, who wrote this, showed a hint of determination in his solemn expression.

He wants to bind himself to the Luen family at a deeper level!

This was a hugely risky step for Anson.

Strictly speaking, until the moment he left Lund Manor, his relationship with the Luen family was still far from a true cooperation - Anson had given the Luen family a big deal, and Ta, who confirmed that he posed no threat at all, Leah also allowed him to leave Lund Manor with Lisa, the "last blood of August", under her supervision.

Even now, Anson is very sure that she - or her "father" - is absolutely aware of his whereabouts; otherwise, with his knowledge of the caster family, he would not have been able to leave Lunde Manor at that time. .

The rune ring that the other party gave to him was so noble that it even impressed the Grand Duke of Thun on the spot. It was both a gift and a chain.

It is precisely because of this that Anson will always keep it with him and show his sincerity to the Luen family with practical actions.

But now he takes the initiative to apply for "contact information" from the other party, which is a further surrender, and he is willing to become a member of the "Run Family" camp.

There are two reasons for this.

First, the current Ansen really needs more information about the Thirteen Council and the Hantu Old God Sect, and the sources of information in his hands are really scarce. Even if he has some, he dare not speak out; he urgently needs the real "old man" of the Old God World. Players" bring themselves, the "newcomers".

The Rune family is the best choice among almost all options.

The second one is Lisa.

She won't be a child forever, she will grow up sooner or later... Even if she doesn't, Thalia will not allow her to stay with her "fiancé" forever.

And once it loses its use value, how will the Rune family treat a small conjurer who knows too much?

Instead of being helpless when the time comes, it’s better to take the initiative and join in when you have the choice.

………………

Green Valley Storm Division station, on the top floor of the warehouse.

Only a few people know that there is a very narrow attic on the top floor of this large barn that can barely accommodate two or three people. The entrance is very narrow and is specially hidden in the innermost part of the corridor, an inconspicuous storage room. Inside the cabinet.

According to the Carindia soldiers guarding this place, the local governor secretly hid the taxes he had embezzled for decades, all of which were exchanged for boxes of gold and silver coins and hidden in this place where no one will ever come. place.

However, when Karl and several soldiers from the guard company tried their best to move away the sacks of moldy and rotten wheat and pried open the entrance to the attic, they did not find such a "big gift".

Maybe it once existed, but it was stolen by someone long ago during its circulation, without even a single silver coin left; or maybe it was just the local townspeople who were curious about where the missing tax money went, and it was born out of rumors. Just a story.

All that was left was a small, cramped, dark and dusty attic.

However, since everything had been moved, the disappointed chief of staff had no choice but to "recycle" this dilapidated place and transform it into a "special collection room" for the deputy commander.

There are only two pieces in the collection, one dead and one alive.

"call--"

The golden-red flames lit up the darkness, causing the Elf Assassin to wake up from his coma, staring at the sudden appearance of Anson with his frozen eyes.

He looked very indifferent. The flame rising from the tip of his right index finger left a huge shadow on his thin face. He held the "dagger" revolver in his left hand and pointed at his temple.

The elf was shocked when he woke up. Only then did he realize that his body was nailed to the crate, his arms and knees were cut off at the joints, and his torso covered with nails was still tightly tied with chains. He could not move. No.

After spending ten seconds to figure out the situation, the Elf Assassin, whose expression changed for a while, quickly calmed down, stopped struggling very honestly, and resisted the dazzling light to look at Anson.

"very good."

Anson was a little surprised by the other party's cooperation, but it saved him a lot of trouble, so as not to get wet...nonsense:

"I ask, you answer, do you understand?"

"Understood." The Elf Assassin nodded, his voice was very weak and hoarse, sounding like the friction of two fingers rubbing together:

"Such as, if I cooperate..."

"Then I won't embarrass you." Anson looked into his eyes and gestured with the "dagger" revolver in his hand:

"You are a spell caster, so you must know this; if you behave well, I will give you one shot in the heart and one in your head - now the first question, name."

The Elf Assassin's lips twitched, as if he was gathering strength: "...Sigmund, Sigmund Govoy."

"Are you a pureblood?" Anson asked casually.

Sigmund shook his head: "Only half-blood, pure-blood... very high status."

So he won't be an assassin... Anson probably understood what he meant: "Are you a spell caster of the Thirteen Council?"

This time Sigmund did not speak, but nodded slightly tremblingly, with a bit of surprise and a bit of panic in his eyes.

Is it really the Thirteen Council?

Anson, who looked calm, flashed a hint of surprise in his heart, but at the same time he was still very inexplicable - why did they assassinate him specifically?

In order to prevent Clovis or Thun from getting the Carindia port and keep the balance of power in the war between Han and Earth? But what does the situation of the Hantu War have to do with a group of Yser elves? Even the Royal Court was about to be captured by Ludwig!

If it has nothing to do with the situation in Hantu, could it be because he exposed his identity related to the Luen family, and is it an internal conflict between the two old god sects, Clovis and Iser?

Hmm... It's not impossible, but in that case I would be too innocent; but if it is really related to the conflict, then why did Ambassador Matias agree to my request for cooperation during the last rebellion in White Tower City?

Anson, with thoughts swirling in his mind, continued to speak calmly:

"Talk to me about the specifics of the mission."

Sigmund nodded:

"... Lusn and I took on this mission together. It was near evening, and the goal was to confirm that you were dead; we bribed a... Carinthian, and obtained the detailed location of your residence from him. , prepared a detailed route map and specific steps; Lu Sien is responsible for taking action, and I am responsible for tracking and preparation; the plan is to execute the plan at one-thirty in the morning...while you are asleep..."

He spoke very slowly, pausing almost every sentence and taking a deep breath before continuing. His breathing became more frequent as he went on.

This also proves that the recovery ability of ordinary blood mages is not unlimited. After being severely injured and suffering from severe bleeding, there will still be a period of very weakness. Although he is still alive at this point, his vitality is already terrifyingly tenacious.

Anson continued to ask: "So you already appeared in Green Valley on June 16th?"

Sigmund nodded, breathing a little quickly.

"You were with the Aiden Corps before, right?"

This time he hesitated for a longer period of time, and then nodded in affirmation after nearly a minute.

"Duke Eden, Victor Emmanuel gave you an order, right?"

Sigmund's body trembled violently, but he didn't speak. His two eyes that were still bleeding were staring at Anson.

It seems that he has asked a key question... Anson sneered:

"Okay, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. I won't use words like 'you will be dead soon anyway' to coerce you. After all...a spell caster in this world wants to make another spell caster miserable. There are really many, many ways to die."

"Specially, you blood mages with tenacious vitality."

Sigmund's broken body was shaking violently again, and the muscles on his face were also twitching slightly.

"I'm a very talkative person. Even if you once wanted to kill me and took action, I would still give you a choice."

With a sneer, Anson took out a sterling silver rune ring inlaid with sapphire from his pocket, and took out the ruby ​​gold ring he had taken from the other party before, and hung them on the index finger and middle finger of his left hand respectively. The gem mirror pointed at him:

"It's the same life as death, falling into the hands of the Luen family or falling into the hands of the Thirteenth Council... you choose."

Anson, whose face turned cold, repeated the question he just asked: "It was Duke Eden's order, right?"

Sigmund remained silent, staring directly at Anson... but his expression was slightly shaken.

Looking at his panic expression, Anson suddenly understood something, so he asked, "Do you not want to, or can't you say it?"

Sigmund, whose face was startled, took a deep breath and said in a long voice with a hoarse voice:

"……cannot……"

it is as expected!

Anson suddenly realized... I am afraid that while accepting the mission, the two assassins were also given some kind of compulsive black magic. As long as a certain thought flashed through his mind, he would immediately be counterattacked or his own power would be exposed. The exact location lets the caster know that he is still alive.

This is a type of black magic that is not very clever, but very practical. The effect is similar to inner suggestion and telepathy, and it is difficult to completely remove. It is generally used to make promises or guardian oaths between two parties, and usually requires 100% voluntariness of the recipient. To achieve the best results.

As for why Anson, a conjurer, knows these things so clearly, it is of course because he has a very excellent black magic instructor-Mace Honnard.

Ninety-nine percent of the content in the big magic book he "gifted" to Anson was related to black magic, so that this extremely precious thing became a hot potato in his hands. In addition to "being popularized" "Except for the common sense of black magic, it is completely useless.

If this is the case, then judging from the fact that even the "identity of the messenger" cannot be revealed, the other party is probably in this Green Valley City right now!

If you think about it this way, the next information will be very clear; assassinating yourself is a temporary task, which means that it was not part of the opponent's plan at the beginning.

In addition, judging from the probability, the possibility that he will appear in Green Valley at this time is actually very low; if the target is really on him, the location where the opponent ambush should be Carindia Port.

So there are two possibilities for the current situation: first, the other party and Duke Eden are in a group. It is difficult to judge whether it is Duke Eden's intention to assassinate him, but even if it is not, he is definitely an insider now.

The second one is that the opponent was in the Green Valley City from the beginning, and by chance he bumped into the Aiden Legion and rushed into the Green Valley. It was a special coincidence that he also arrived at the Green Valley five days later; so the opponent decided to kill him and break the Storm Division and the Green Valley. A peace agreement between Aiden's legions, creating chaos.

As for where the instigator - or elf - is now, it doesn't actually matter. What matters is that he is still alive. The other party's plan has failed, and it seems that there is no capital to try again for the time being.

Then... there is a high probability that he is still in the Green Valley City, and there is a high probability that he is in the military camp of the Aiden Legion, huh.

The prototype of a plan has been sketched in Anson's mind.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation, His Excellency Sigmund Govoy." The satisfied Anson showed a kind smile to the other party:

"Then, in return for thanking you, I will keep our promise."

"Sending you to the master of blood magic, the extremely generous Pluto."
