"In that case, let's go." Yali announced.

----------------

Somewhere northwest of the center of Seville Fortress is the residence of Duke Brinis.

In a room in the Duke's mansion, four people were gathering in a circle, but there was still a gap in the circle.

Three humans, one elf, three women and one man.

None of the four people spoke, as if they were waiting for something, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.

Suddenly, the door was knocked lightly, with a strange frequency and slight intervals in between.

Hearing the knock on the door, which was like a code, the four people inside were shocked. One of them, a girl who looked a little clumsy, hurried up to open the door, but she seemed to be too anxious, causing her left foot to touch her right. feet, and then jumped straight to the ground.

"what--!?"

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a black shadow came out from the other side, holding her up before the person's face hit the ground.

"Oh! Stupid Weier, when will you get rid of your habit of falling even when walking on flat ground?"

After helping Weir back, the black figure took off the cloak and hat on his head, revealing a pair of black cat-like ears, which were still shaking slightly and were extremely cute.

The owner of the cat ears held his forehead, feeling helpless.

"Hey hey..."

The girl named Wei Er seemed to be embarrassed, scratched her head and giggled.

"Okay, sit down now. I'm waiting for you, Jiewen - why are you here so late? Is there something wrong?" The only man among the five people suddenly opened his mouth.

Hearing this, Jiewen's figure flashed, and the next moment she appeared on the remaining empty chair.

Now there are four women and one man.

"Something unexpected happened, which caused a slight delay in the investigation."

Jiewen shook his head, and then said: "But it does not affect the result. As Farley guessed, Duke Brinis' reputation outside is not very good."

"Sure enough..."

Man——Krystle Garcia murmured in a low voice.

"According to this, the targets of monster attacks seem to be nobles who are usually domineering!"

Jiewen nodded, agreeing with his point of view.

Krisl turned to a tall, plump woman with gray hair and black eyes and asked her:

"Farley, what do you think?"

The gray-haired woman - Layafali frowned, thinking deeply, but said nothing. Her expression changed several times, as if she was struggling with something.

"Xiao Li..." Weier called her worriedly.

As the one who has been with Rayafali the longest among the four, she certainly understands what her best friend is thinking.

Rayafari wants to kill the monster!

——This is something that the four of them know very well.

But in this case, wouldn't it mean that the brave man who symbolizes justice is protecting the evil forces?

Layafali is struggling with this matter.

Because Layafali lowered her head, her bangs covered her eyes, so no one could see that her black eyes were full of confusion.

--why......

——Why do you...?

There were some images flashing in her eyes, which were scenes of her confrontation with the 'monster' when the monster attacked the Duke's Mansion.

After the 'monster' saw her, he actually uttered two words -

"You are......"

Before she finished speaking, the 'monster' just looked at her deeply, and then disappeared like a flower in water or a moon mirror.

She couldn't stop him, and she didn't even see the other person's face clearly, but those golden eyes and those two words were deeply imprinted in her mind.

As if realizing that he had asked a stupid question, Krisl quickly changed the subject——

"By the way, Jiewen, you said something unexpected happened, what do you mean?"

Jiewen noticed what Chrisl meant, nodded slightly, touched her ears, and said slightly solemnly:

"Someone saw through the Thousand Barrier Cloak and discovered my true form."

"what!?"

Why don't we give up the title?

"what!?"

Chris, who only wanted to change the subject, suddenly exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

"Impossible! Even if the Thousand Barrier Cloak has never failed against an opponent far more powerful than us, how could it be seen through by someone?"

The Thousand Barrier Cloak is a magic item they got by chance. It has the effect of hiding the breath and covering the face. Once you put on the cloak, you can't see the other person's face clearly even if you are face to face with the other person.

Layafali was attracted to her attention and asked Jiewen:

"Can you elaborate, Wen." Like Jiewen, she realized that things were not simple.

Well... In a sense, Krisl's goal has been achieved...

"Ha...even if you ask me to elaborate, even I don't quite understand the situation..."

When Jiewen recalled the situation at that time, it was still a bit unbelievable to this day.

"While walking, I suddenly felt someone's eyes falling on me, and then the person yelled out, so I had to move to another location and investigate again!"

Thinking of this, Jiewen became very angry. A slender cat tail was exposed from the cloak, swinging from side to side. There was actually a small pink bow tied near the end of the tail. It looked like So cute.

"I can confirm that I didn't make a mistake at that time!", she added.

"You were discovered while walking?"

Layafali held her chin with one hand and looked solemn, but she had no clue after thinking about it.

"I don't think it needs to be too strange. After all, it's just a magic prop. If you meet some special people or powerful beings, it's only a certainty that you will be seen through."

At this time, the person with the lowest presence in the team spoke.

She has beautiful long silver hair, long pointed ears that symbolize her identity as an elf, her eyes are soft light blue, and she looks like two moons. She is beautiful, and she wears a green patterned cloak on her head. Hat, slim figure, slender hands and legs give people a very capable feeling.

She was concentrating on wiping a bow that was about one meter long in her hand. It was silver-white in color and dotted with patterns. It had a unique shape. The two ends were curved, forming two crescent moons. The light shone on it. There is also a faint silvery glow on it, which looks extremely beautiful.

Her name is Qili Yavida, and she is an elf.

"But Qili, Fali can't see through the Thousand Barrier Cloak even if it's close to her face. It's too incredible to say that someone can ignore the Thousand Barrier Cloak, right?"

Krisl still didn't believe it.

"Jiewen, could it be that you feel wrong?"

Jiewen frowned and said: "I can't feel wrong, and the other party even shouted out, I'm not deaf."

Her tone was sullen.

Chris suddenly remembered that his teammate didn't like to be questioned, and realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly apologized to Jiewen.

"That's it for now. From what Wen said, the other party didn't make any further moves. It doesn't seem to be intentional, as long as it's not directed at us."

Layafali thought for a while and finally spoke.

"Yeah, I think Xiaoli is right!"

Weir echoed immediately, causing Jiewen to hold her forehead and sigh, as if she could still hear her - I am really impressed by you - such words.

"Duk, duk, duk!"

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

It's an ordinary knock on the door.

A middle-aged woman's voice came from outside the door——

"Master Brave, and her companions, the Duke said that there are some distinguished guests coming outside, and he wanted to ask if you would like to meet them too."

"Honored guest?"

Jiewen glanced at Layafali, then stepped forward and opened the door, revealing the figure of a middle-aged woman. Judging from her dress, she should be a maid here.

"Yes, it is said that one of them is President LeBeni of the Mage Association. Ah, you may not know each other yet, right? President LeBeni is what - oh! She is a magician!"

Although the maid has heard of LeBeni's name, she is just an ordinary person after all, so she has no idea about the magister, but she just thinks it is very powerful.

But this fell into the ears of Layafali and the others, and it hit their hearts like a stormy sea.

"Magister...?"

Qili murmured, stopped what she was doing, put the bow behind her, and looked at the maid.

"I go."

She announced calmly.

"Wait, wait, Qili, that's it..." Jiewen pulled Qili in surprise.

Now they are sure that the Duke is not a good person. In fact, after getting along with him these days, they also have a vague feeling.

How should I put it - although the Duke was very polite to them on the surface, they always felt that the other party was only like this on the surface, and maybe he was thinking about something else.

Like a smiling tiger, Jiewen felt very uncomfortable getting along with him.

So now they have to use secret codes to signal even their meetings to ensure safety.

She didn't dare to say there were any traps in agreeing to the other party's invitation so rashly, but she felt it was necessary to think more carefully.

"Ahaha... Qili is a magic archer, so it's natural for her to be interested in high-level magicians..."

Weier stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Go ahead, I also want to see a high-level magician. After all, you don't usually see one."

Layafali said to everyone.

It's not that they have never met high-level magicians, but they have really never met a few magisters. Even if they have met, they have never had direct contact with them, so now that she has this opportunity, she really doesn't intend to give up.

Jiewen and Krisl made statements respectively——

"Ha...since Farley said so..."

"I don't care, so I feel free to do it."

"Then let me lead the way for you." The maid smiled politely, then stepped forward to lead the way.

Layafali and the others looked at each other and followed suit.

......

On the other side, because there was a special car to pick them up, Shi Liuli and others arrived at the Duke's residence early in the evening.

Sitting on the long dining table, next to Shi Liuli were Cui'er and Yu'er, and Beiming Youyu and Yali were next to each other.

Shi Liuli stared at the white tablecloth in front of her and said with some confusion:

"What are you doing, inviting us over for dinner?"

The servant responsible for receiving them smiled and said:

"Because it's getting late, the Duke has ordered us to prepare dinner for you to enjoy. The Duke and the Hero will come later, so please wait a moment."

Brave?

Shi Liuli's eyes lit up and she was immediately speechless.

At this moment, a slightly older figure walked in from the door at the corner of the room, saying as he walked:

"Hahaha, it's my honor to be invited by President LeBeni. It's getting late. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it after dinner. How about that?"

It's you!
