All-round magician

Chapter 154

"Aphra, it's a long story." Ellie cleared her throat, and finally explained the ins and outs of the incident.

Not long after your accident, when I was tidying up the fake Aphra's room, I found a sealed box, which actually contained a stack of letters she had corresponded with others.The content on it was all her correspondence with a mysterious person, which said that the person would arrange everything and help her sit on the countess' seat after the matter was completed.

Unfortunately, from beginning to end, the person who wrote the letter did not disclose his real name.Later, I told my grandfather about it, and my grandfather suspected that there was a big man hiding behind Biya.Therefore, he immediately sent people to investigate in that small mountain village, only to find out that the villagers near Mount Yaduras believed in a church called the Society of Demon Gods.But the demon god will keep the secrecy strictly, apart from knowing that they have built many temples in the area of ​​Mount Yadulas, there is no other clue at all.

Just when the people sent by his grandfather almost returned in vain, he suddenly discovered an interesting plant, which grows on the Yaduras Mountains. The plant bears fruit once a year, and the fruit is bright red when ripe, round and as big as a finger.

This kind of fruit has a special peculiarity, that is, in a closed space, if you carry its core on your body, and after being warmed by the human body, it will emit a strange fragrance after an hour or two, and it will make you feel sick. People unconsciously fall into a coma, fall into a short sleep, and are not so easy to wake up. It is one of the most commonly used drugs in the local treatment of insomnia.

So this subordinate brought a few back.Because Alan didn't eat or drink all day during that time, he was about to collapse, so my grandfather asked me to bring a mulberry coconut core to Alan's room. After a while, Alan fell into a coma , but it didn't take long for him to wake up, and I happened to be in his room at the time.

"It's such a familiar smell, I seem to have smelled it somewhere!" Alan noticed the strange smell in the room as soon as he woke up, and sniffed vigorously with his nostrils wide open.I didn't take this seriously at first, so I just let it go.

A few days later, I did the same thing and brought another mulberry kernel to Alan's room. When Alan woke up, he slapped his head and suddenly remembered: "Isn't this what I smelled in the small mountain village?" Does it taste?"

"What small mountain village did you smell it in?" The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it, so I started to say what Allen said.

"There can still be that small mountain village, that is, the small mountain village under the Yadulas Mountain. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I smelled this smell in the air." Thinking of this, Alan's face darkened.

I immediately told my grandfather the news, and later my grandfather sent people to the mountain village to investigate, and found that the mulberry tree is only effective in a confined space, otherwise it will have no effect.

After confirming, Grandpa immediately deduced that besides Alan, there must be others among us who are spies of the enemy.

So Grandpa called Allen and asked what happened in detail. It turned out that when Nelly (fake Aphra) gave him the pill, he told him that it was just a general Ruanjin powder, which can make people feel better within 3 minutes. Move, her purpose is just to keep Lan Nuo immobile, and then humiliate him.

Alan thought that his sister was powerless, even if Lan Nuo couldn't move, she couldn't do anything to Aphra, so he agreed.At this time, he also kept an eye out, and while everyone was not paying attention, he threw a pill into the old man's dog food. After the dog ate it, it really couldn't move.Therefore, he also believed Nelly's words, but he still only threw half of the pills in the water bottle because of Lan Nuo's kindness for saving him once.

Grandpa immediately asked him for the remaining five pills, and gave one to the cat. The cat only lost strength for a few minutes after taking it.In order to further verify the properties of this thing, I ate one at home, but the magic power did not disappear, and it only lost power for a few minutes.Grandpa's speculation was finally confirmed.

After Ellie finished all this, she found that her sister kept silent and did not disturb her thinking.

After a while, Afra raised her head and asked, "So this time Grandpa invited them here?"

"Hehe, you can't hide anything from your eyes, but it's not grandpa who invited them here this time, but Principal Thomas. Of course, you guessed it right, it was our old man who came up with the idea." Speaking of his old man, Ellie smiled mischievously, "He misses you very much! Just wait to be scolded!"

"Hmph, Ai Li, you are so brave, dare to speak ill of me, and even call me an old man, you are such a no-nonsense guy!" Suddenly the door was pushed open from the outside, and a loud male voice came over.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" Aphra was pleasantly surprised to find that her old urchin had also come, but she immediately thought that her old man was still the highest military officer of the Cadias Empire.

"Your parents went to your uncle's place, and I'll come to you. Since this city belongs to you, grandpa, I will try my best to keep it for you! Now the Rogge family is completely against that old Louis. Guy!" Andrew said that Louis was the emperor of the Cadias Empire.

In fact, over the years, Louis had long wanted to get rid of the Rogge family who controlled the country's military power, so he had placed many cronies in the army, gradually depriving Andrew of his real power.Because Andrew is getting old, the family will withdraw from the mainland after escaping this catastrophe. In addition, his granddaughter has Mosleys in his pocket, and he also wants to leave Cardias.The Cardias Empire and Seston Empire's attack on Mosleys directly accelerated this process.

"Thank you, Grandpa, I knew you were the best!" Aphra ran over obediently, hugged Andrew's arm, and acted like a cute little girl.

"Little heartless! I'm your grandfather, and I thank you. I said you girl, you don't go home early when you have nothing to do, and you want to worry about my old bones!" Andrew scratched hard as he said. He scratched Aphra's small and delicate nose.

"Oh, grandpa, it hurts! Don't even think about it, I'm going to save my wife for someone, you old and heartless!" Aphra complained, rubbing her sore nose.

"Hey, grandpa blamed you by mistake!" Andrew rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and asked flatteringly, "How is your grandmother?"

"What's the matter?" Aphra raised her head, pretending not to know.

"Oh, you bastard..." Andrew knew that Aphra was teasing him on purpose, turned around angrily, and ignored him.

"Harley is dead, do you think she will feel better?" After a while, Aphra's low voice sounded.

"Dead..." Andrew also staggered two steps back.

"Grandpa, I'm going out to see what's going on outside." Aphra winked at Ellie after speaking, and then walked out by herself.

She, the lord of the city, went around the barracks, not only to learn about the latest battle situation, but also to boost morale, which killed two birds with one stone.

"Aphra, are you going to the city? I'll take you there!" As soon as Aphra came out, she ran into Alan.

"You've been waiting here all this time?" Aphra glanced at her brother who was much stronger and thinner.

"Grandpa said that you might want to visit later, so I'll wait for you here. After all, many citizens still don't know that their city lord is a girl."

"Okay, let's go!" Aphra immediately understood Andrew's intentions, and the person who tied the bell had to be untied. He hoped that he could help Allen untangle this knot.

"Brother Alan, what does a real warrior look like in your mind?" Aphra started by picking another irrelevant topic.

"Well, I can't tell." Allen glanced at her, not understanding why she would ask this question, "I think a girl like Aphra can be called a warrior."

"A thinker once said a word 'a real warrior dares to face the bleak life, dare to face the dripping blood', I have always agreed with this sentence. Individuals will have weaknesses, they will fall, and they will make mistakes, but Only those who can overcome everything and stand up again are qualified to be called warriors! Because it is not difficult for a person to defeat the enemy, but it is difficult to defeat oneself!"

Hearing Aphra's hint, Allen bowed his head in silence for a while, finally raised his head, and said firmly, "I understand, don't worry!"

"Oh, what a coincidence, the city owner and General Allen are also there!" Suddenly Barry saw them from another street, and waved hello to them from afar.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Principal, good morning!" Aphra also warmly greeted Barry.

"He's been promoted to vice principal!" Allen poked Aphra with his arm and reminded him in a low voice.

"Is the Lord City Master going to check the defense on the city wall?" The smile on Barry's face froze for a moment, and then he asked nonchalantly.

"Yes, I heard that the Principal has been promoted. Congratulations, Principal! Oh, no, I should call you Vice Principal now!" Aphra said very naturally, making people feel that she made a slip of the tongue .

Hearing that, Allen beside him was sweating, and secretly sighed in his heart. He didn't know his sister was like that before. He really didn't want to use the word bad to describe her, but no matter how stupid a person was, he could tell what she was saying. of irony.It can be seen from this that Allen's emotional intelligence has also increased a lot during this period, at least he no longer blindly protects his sister.

"Where, where, how can such a small achievement be compared with the city lord's!" A look of displeasure flashed in Barry's eyes, which made people think it was a hallucination, but he was still being watched by Afu who had been secretly paying attention to him. Pull caught.

"We're planning to wander around. I don't know about school affairs... no, where is the vice principal going?" Aphra looked at Barry apologetically, with an innocent expression on her face, as if to say, my brain doesn't remember well. Great, I can't remember things all the time.
