The mage arrives

256 Failed Assassination

Gordon's mage's hand skillfully pulled the maid's ankle.

If it was a professional fighter trained in footwork and movement, Gordon's little trick would be useless.It's a pity that the maid is just a layman, so she fell to the ground without any suspense.

Ms. Bishop's Fenghan sword followed closely behind, reaching the maid's white neck.

"Gordon, let me handle it. I'm interested in this girl," Ms Bishop said.

Gordon nodded, happy to be a bystander.He has no interest in turning fights into friendship with the other party, so it's better to watch a play.

"name."

"...Anjieli..."

The maid lay prone on the cold mud, feeling the chill from her neck.She looked up and saw the woman with the sword looking down at herself.Although Ms. Bishop's tone was flat, Angeli always felt that this woman's eyes, as well as the aura exuding from her whole body, had an undeniable majesty.

So despite the resentment in her heart, she honestly said her name.

"Anjieli...that's a pretty good name." Ms. Bishop withdrew her long sword, flicked it lightly, and picked the maid's dagger far away.

It was a cheap handle bought from a blacksmith shop on the street, worth no more than three silver coins.When Gordon thought that the girl would use such rags to assassinate him, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"I remember that you appeared at the noble meeting as Derrington's personal maid. You and your parents are mountain people living in the Cold Mist Mountains, and joined the autumn hunting team as guides. But because of the devil's poison in your body, you Your parents passed away one after another, and you were the only one who was taken in by Derlington and left the Cold Mist Mountains, right?"

Ms Bishop met each other once at the Assembly of Nobles.Also know her name is Angelie.The reason why she asked knowingly was to gain the initiative to speak, but to test her will to resist.

If the maid just lied or didn't speak at all, I'm afraid there will be a little trouble.

Now... Ms. Teresa Bishop, the bodyguard of the majestic lord of the scepter, who frightens the enemy with her sword skills, can't deal with a little girl from the mountain village?

"You're right." Angeli pursed her lips stubbornly, but her trembling shoulders had already betrayed the tension in her heart.

"At the noble meeting, I have already said that the decision to abandon the poisoned person to speed up the march was made by the leadership collectively. It is not the responsibility of Gordon alone. Why do you insist on seeking revenge from him?"

"You are covering him! Lord Derrington said that Gordon is an evil mage and the culprit!"

Ms. Bishop was not angry, but smiled and said: "Then, I am also an accomplice of the evil mage Gordon. Don't you hate me?"

"Dragon God taught us to be forgiving. You were just bewitched by that evil mage. I won't blame you..."

Gordon as an observer in the conversation between the two women.It has been affected several times.This feeling of being shot while lying down.It is really helpless.But he didn't expect that Angeli was actually a faithful follower of Bahamut.

If you have faith, many things will be easier to handle.

Sure enough, just as Gordon had speculated, Ms. Bishop glanced at the crude Dragon God pendant hanging around Angelie's neck, and said, "Since you believe in Lord Dragon God, you should know. Gordon and I were at the noble meeting Shangdu has passed the ruling of the Holy Light of the Dragon God. You should know that we are not lying."

"Lord Earl Thompson and Baron Joshua have also passed the ruling of the Holy Light!"

"That's because they wore a magic item that can block the detection of divine power. After Earl Thompson pleaded guilty, he has already confessed everything."

"Then you may also wear this kind of magic item." Angeli refused to let go, without giving in.

Ms. Bishop continued to explain patiently: "Do you have evidence? Angeli. The Dragon God taught us not to speculate on others with malicious intent. Have you forgotten?"

The maid was speechless.

She is just a peasant girl born in the mountains, with a pure personality and simple experience, how could she possibly be able to argue against the experienced Ms. Bishop.

Angeli's heart had already begun to waver.But she is still unwilling to give up what she has believed in for a long time, so she can only constantly numb herself.

"No, Lord Derington is a good man, he will not lie to me... Lord Derington is a good man, he will not lie to me..."

"Is Dellington a good person?" Ms. Bishop laughed with a "chi" and said, "Simple girl, do you think that he is a good person if he takes you in? This world is very complicated. Those who do good deeds are not necessarily good people. And those who do bad things are not necessarily bad people.”

"You're lying! Lord Derington is the most benevolent and kindest person I've ever met, with the demeanor of a true Freton knight." Angeli's fair face flushed.

"I'm afraid he's still the most handsome man..." Ms. Bishop turned her head to look at Gordon after she finished speaking.

That means clearly: You are not as handsome as Durlington, so you can't fool a little girl.This is the gap.

Gordon shrugged, feeling quite innocent.

After being pointed out by Ms. Bishop, the blush on Angelie's face quickly spread: "No, I don't have any unreasonable thoughts about Mr. Durrington. I know that I am not worthy of him in my own capacity. I just I hope to be by his side and help him a little.”

"So after his plan with Earl Thompson to deal with Gordon failed, he lost his temper, you can't bear it?" Ms. Bishop shook her head, "Unfortunately, he is not the Prince Charming you imagined. This guy Thoughtful and meticulous, Earl Thompson was convicted, but he left himself completely untouched."

"Master Derington is not the kind of person you said!"

"Really?" Ms. Bishop smiled with confidence, "Although you broke into the Rainbow Spring Manor privately with the intention of assassinating nobles, it is a capital offense. But what happened to you was indirectly caused by us, so I will put you back. Little girl , Shall we make a bet? Guess how Derington will treat you."

A confused look appeared in Angeli's eyes.She came to assassinate Gordon on impulse before, but she never thought about the consequences.

"If Derlington von Eisenstein is as you imagined, a model knight with kindness and compassion, he will not hold you accountable for your bold actions, but he will give you a fortune in order not to implicate the family. Money, let you leave quietly and start your life again... But this possibility is very small. Most likely, he is afraid that the lord of the scepter will pursue him and be suspected of being behind the scenes, so he will order the guards to take you down, and then Send it to this manor and let me handle it."

"I do not believe!"

"Just wait and see." Ms. Bishop waved her hand, signaling Angeli to leave on her own.

After Dellington's maid left, Gordon finally couldn't help asking: "Ms. Bishop, what are you spending so much time trying to convince an insignificant maid?"

"Don't you realize that this girl is different?"

Gordon thought about it carefully, then shook his head.

Angeli has delicate features, but she looks pretty good.For those aristocrats with special tastes, this fresh and simple mountain village girl does have a different kind of appeal.But other than that, Gordon didn't find anything special about her.

"Do you think that a girl with ordinary physical fitness and no training in combat and sneaking can enter Rainbow Springs Manor and assassinate you without being discovered?" Ms. Bishop asked.

Normally, this is impossible.But Angeli did it.

The defense system of the entire Rainbow Spring Manor was designed by Ms. Bishop.Staffing, patrol routes, rotation times, etc., are near flawless.And the guards of the manor were also trained by her personally.She knows the strength and sense of responsibility of those guards very well.Lord Scepter has many enemies, but since Rainbow Spring Manor was built, there are very few assassins who can successfully infiltrate.But today, a little maid did what many senior assassins failed to do.

"That girl has a special potential. I am a warrior, and I can feel it. If she is carefully cultivated, her future achievements may not be inferior to Faria's."

Gordon felt that this evaluation was exaggerated.But Ms. Bishop didn't know that Faria had the blood of the silver dragon in her body, otherwise she would never boast like this.

"If you want to be a teacher to teach swordsmanship, there are many suitable candidates. For example, my sister Xiona...why put your mind on a maid who is loyal to Dellington?"

Ms. Bishop shook her head and said: "You are a mage, I don't understand. I like Xiona very much, but her martial arts are not the same as mine. She is very talented. If she finds a famous teacher, she will become a legendary warrior in the future. Possibly. I cannot delay her."

Gordon knew that Xiona was absolutely outstanding among her peers.But becoming a legendary warrior... This goal is too far away.

"It's a pity that you are still her brother, and you know so little about your sister!" Ms. Bishop gave Gordon a hard look, "Young men have needs, I understand. But don't spend your energy on other women every day. Xiona is your younger sister, the closest woman in the world besides your mother. You should take good care of her and take care of her."

In the face of Ms. Bishop's teaching, what can Gordon say, he can only nod in agreement.

Immediately, Gordon said with some concern: "Ma'am, if Angeli has unlimited potential as you said. Then can you put her back like this? If something happens and the hatred in her heart cannot be resolved, Growing up, she'll be a tough enemy."

"I know the way of thinking of you mages. You always want to prevent problems before they happen. For safety reasons, you should kill threats at the beginning..." Ms. Bishop sighed, "After all, part of the responsibility for what happened to her parents lies Us. Are we really going to arrest her and throw her into prison?"

Gordon knew what virtue those jailers were.An Jieli, a commoner with some good looks and no backing, is locked in a prison, and I am afraid that his life will be worse than death. (to be continued..)
