Ling retracted his gaze and looked at the amber liquid in the cup.
Maybe it's just that my nerves are too tense.
With the shaking of the fingers, the reflection at the mouth of the cup was shattered into a mess of light spots.
-
Let's be honest, the Deep One isn't a very popular place for young wizard apprentices.
Most of the people sitting here are local residents, or wizard traders who transport goods to Glamis.
In such a not-so-capable space, chatting voices can easily be heard by others as long as they are a little louder.
This is originally a unique culture of bars.
It is easy for customers to hear the current information from other people's mouths, but it remains to be verified whether this kind of story after countless disseminations is true, or how much it differs from the original version.
"Hey, have you heard that Ella Williams, who has been wanted for many years, has returned to Kraft. She killed the world's strongest wizard Kleist with her own hands, and now she is sitting on the execution bench." Officer's position."
"I know! I also attended the funeral of the old headmaster a few days ago, and now the wizard newspaper is full of his obituary and reports about the funeral. It is said that during the years when she was wanted, Kleist thought she was right Threats to one's own position..."
"Unbelievable! Times have changed for an executive not yet 20 years old."
A few outlandish wizards were discussing the latest current events, and they obviously failed to recognize that the girl sitting at the bar who only ordered a drink was the central figure in their conversation.
When did I kill... Well, so this matter has been circulated as such a version outside?
Ella took a sip of elderflower drink, still her favorite drink after traveling halfway around the world.
But their next topic made Ella's face a little ugly,
"There seems to be something wrong with the heir of the Belusay family. Members of other branches of that family are all heading to the White Rose Manor, saying that they want to select a new family heir..."
"Where did you get the news?"
Ling cut him off.
The one who spoke just now was a thin, monkey-like man.
He was originally angry because his words were interrupted, but the silver badge on the other's chest made the man restrain his temper immediately.
"A lot of people know about it - just go to Renfrewshire and it's all discussed in wizarding pubs over there. Miss Executor, I'm just a herbal seller... "
It is understandable that this man knew about Kleist, after all, the scale of the funeral was huge.
Among the wizards who appeared in Kraft that day, there were many newspaper reporters. Anyone who paid a little attention to the news could get the information that had been adapted in different ways.
But Hyde's matter was different. It was an internal problem of the Belusay family.
In order to keep his heir, Straw will probably take a considerable degree of secrecy.
It is impossible for him to really want to pick a new heir for himself. The man's attitude can be guessed from the letter Ella received.
So although such things should not be hidden from those who are interested, there are definitely not many people who can get this news.
At least it shouldn't be picked up in a pub by an unrelated wizard.
This means that the situation may be worse and more chaotic than Ella imagined, or that someone with a heart is deliberately spreading the news to the outside world.
"Boss, check out."
Ella left a few coins on the bar, got off the stool and left the bar quickly.
"Are we going to Renfrewshire now?"
Ling suggested that although they were a little tired, they would still be active for a few more days even if they maintained this state. This kind of unplanned busyness was already commonplace for the two of them.
"No, it's not necessary."
"Our rash appearance will disrupt Straw Belusay's preparations. I'm going to go to Kraft's reference room now, and use my authority to check who the Belusay family's generation can compete for. Inheritance."
Ella walked towards the direction of Glamis Castle with a serious expression.If Adolf were here, he would be surprised to find that her demeanor was very similar to that of Howard Yousef back then.
"You don't want to kill all those guys, do you...Although they are taking advantage of others' danger, their actions are reasonable, right?"
Ling couldn't help shivering.
This time, Ella stopped, and she opened her mouth.
"Of course not, how could I do such a thing?"
"That's an insult to my friend. All I can do is provide a fair competition. Other than that, there is no point in helping."
Chapter 47 Complexity
The blond boy was sitting on the sofa in the room, reading a wizard newspaper with relatively good reviews.
But now even the famously rigorous publication is piled up with lurid headlines.
"Kleist is dead, the new headmaster is that weird old man Dmitri, Ella took over as the executive officer...what's all this mess?"
"I haven't been out for only two months, have I?"
Hyde looked at the crystal chess pieces scattered on the black and white grid chessboard in front of him, and temporarily lost the mood to pass the time by playing chess with his left and right hands.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
In White Rose Manor, there was only one person who would use this impolite way of knocking on the door.
Thinking of this, his originally gloomy face looked a little better.
"Come in."
The shadow dressed as an alliance maid opened the door with her foot, dragged two kinds of trays full of nearly in her left and right hands, and sat straight in front of Hyde.
She picked up a piece of cake and threw it into her mouth, barely chewing but her mouth was empty again.
"Still fighting with Straw."
Her first sentence made Hyde dumbfounded.
"Why do we sound like two children arguing in your mouth?"
"Is not it?"
Shadow asked back, with a malicious smirk on the corner of his mouth.
"In my eyes, most people are children, and you two are especially naive among them."
"Especially you, how do you think you look like a child from head to toe now?"
After a period of treatment, he still looked like he was about twelve or thirteen years old. He was indeed just a child no matter how you looked at it.
Hyde rubbed his eyebrows, he knew that refuting Shadow on this issue would only bring more ridicule, he might as well continue the unfinished topic just now.
"His behavior this time is really hard for me to accept. It not only insults me, but also insults the friendship between me and Ella."
This statement caused Shadow to stop throwing food into his mouth for a while, and she raised her eyebrows slowly and said,
"Straw's method of kidnapping Ira is indeed disgraceful, but judging from the recent situation, it may not be said to be a bad move."
"What do you mean by that... Do you also think I can't win against those vultures and hyenas who are ready to eat carrion?"
The shadow's words made Hyde's face turn ugly, and his shoulders trembled angrily when he asked this question, but this anger disappeared with the next sentence.
"Normally, the one who wins must be you. Even if you become weaker, you are still a man who can barely catch my eye."
This damn puppet is simply a demon, and just a few light words can make his emotions fluctuate continuously, as if he has suffered a curse of chaos during flying magic.
"But from the current point of view, things will not be easy this time, and there is a high probability that you will not get a fair and equal competition environment."
"No way, this is an internal meeting in Belusay..."
Saying so, Hyde seemed to have read some strange atmosphere.
"You mean there might be something wrong with the family?"
"What do you mean, your current situation should have been the top secret of your family, right? I can understand that this manor has been planted by other forces, but the problem now is that the news is spreading too fast, even a little too fast. nature."
Shadow analyzed it seriously.
"Few people knew about this incident at first, and all those who could witness the real situation in the land of Nod were all members of the alliance, not to mention that it was impossible for them to pass the news to the outside world at that time. But now those branch families People show up like they've made an appointment, almost like they've been prepared."
"The current situation is breaking through Straw's control. Even though he has used his financial resources to control those wizarding newspapers, the news is still spreading rapidly in various places through bars or other channels. This is definitely not just idle talk. Degree."
"Your family is different from Mephisto. Although they are fighting among themselves and they are in chaos, as long as Fred Murphys is not dead, that family will never have a second voice to the outside world. Kester Law is different, he does not have the strong personal charm of the former, nor does he have absolute magical power. Compared with them, your Belusay family pays more attention to rules, which is your life. Rules are everything, rules are absolute, and it even overrides the master over power."
"So as long as it is within the scope allowed by the rules, those with malicious intentions can do whatever they want, which is protected by your traditional pure-blood order. As for taking advantage of the rules, isn't this what you Belusay is good at? ?”
The shadow's point of view chilled Hyde, and it calmed him from his anger and humiliation.
"But why send Ella that letter at this time... oh, I see."
"The movement of the family courier is likely to be monitored or even intercepted."
"Compared to the fact that the power of my bloodline was damaged now, there are far fewer people who know that Ella Williams has some Belussian characteristics. The only people involved in this matter at the time were Helena, me, Straw himself , you, Ella, and Ling and his father. And you are absolutely trustworthy—"
Having said this, he stopped, and his face became livid again.
"No, Straw doesn't think that way. He should take the initiative to negotiate with Mephisto and sign a confidentiality contract with certain conditions. Helena has been in her experiment since she left the land of Nod. room, and you—Straw originally agreed to allow you to stay in the manor just for the convenience of observation and surveillance..."
He couldn't help laughing wryly.
"This person... is really more exaggerated than I thought."
Regarding Hyde's speculation, Shadow nodded.
"It's not an exaggeration at all, it's you who are too naive."
Hyde helplessly spread his hands.
"You are all the people I trust the most. Who do you think I can doubt at this time?"
Shadow nodded to himself, accidentally rubbed the cream on his finger on his nose, and replied with a natural look:
"Suspect me."
Her attitude and words are always so jaw-dropping.
"The Mephisto family has a contract with you, Helena has given up her inheritance rights, and Ella is just as stupid as you."
"Only me, a poor puppet of unknown origin, is the most suspicious, because strictly speaking, I don't belong to the alliance, nor do I belong to any family. Is there anyone more suspicious than me?"
The blond boy put his hand on her shoulder.
