Chapter 269: A Bat Hunting at Midnight
I didn't continue to talk to Dybala Ottore here, firstly because of the time, and secondly, because there was no need for it. The things that need to be said are said and it's just a waste of time to stay here.
"What do you think of this?" Dybala Ottore looked at the departing Raphael and looked at Myron Kellogg and Joshua Kitts.
"Ability, potential." Myron Kellogg didn't say much, but the appreciation was something that everyone could hear. He knew Raphael's identity, and it was impossible to pull him back at such a time, not to mention that Raphael's own performance was indeed remarkable, and he did not go against his will at all when he said these words.
"It is indeed a very good young man, does His Highness want to develop him into a general?" Joe Hugh Kitts appears more direct.
"This kind of person is like a dragontooth crocodile under an iceberg, and it is too difficult to tame. It may be possible to excavate at a young age, but it is not easy to do it as an adult. The fact that he can give away this kind of thing at his fingertips proves that he has ambitions and ideas. It is better to appease and envelop you. Dybala Ottore shook his head slightly, as if he was not very serious about this matter.
"So are we really just waiting for this?" Joshua Kitts was not at all upset that Dybala Ottore had rejected his proposal, and he was still smiling, and sometimes, subordinates always had to look stupid to show the wit of their superiors, didn't they? Everyone loves to be flattered, but when dealing with this kind of boss, you have to pay attention to some speaking skills.
"I wanted to see if this young man was as good as his verbal skills, and the worst would be a failed mission. As he said, it is not yet appropriate for us to completely break with Archduke Louis Perchens. We're really not ready! Dybala Ottore put the tray in his hand into the storage ring, and his tone was a little helpless, although the situation of the Ottore royal family has improved over the years, it is far from being as prosperous as outsiders imagined.
The implementation of policies requires strength and sol, and the wide net cast over the years has also kept the treasury above a balance line, and if the finances collapse in any place, then there is a high probability of a small-scale economic collapse, so Dybala Ottore wants to cut off these tumors and bring more drainage to the national economy.

Back in the lumberyard, the sky was already slightly yellow, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and the time was always passing quickly. Riding on the dark horse from earlier, Raphael led the way to a remote path with the guidance of his guide.
"This situation is really getting more and more interesting, the royal family, the Grand Duke of Louis Perchens, the Church of the Three Gods, what kind of storm can these three forces stir? It seems that I really need to think more about myself and see if I can extract more benefits from it! Raphael's mind couldn't help but plan for himself, but unfortunately he didn't have a team in his hands that could be easily commanded, otherwise he might be able to maximize his benefits!
"Team? Who said I don't have a team! Then there is an extra team of people to compete for the evil weapon, anyway, just let the evil weapon take a picture! Those guys from the Church of the Three Gods are not stupid, and they won't feel the power of evil weapons! It's a big deal that I've got something in it, and who's going to think I'm doing something out of it? "Giving the evil weapon to those in the temple will only bring the evil weapon to an end. The royal family has obtained evil weapons, and if they do not use them well, they will only cause trouble. Not to mention that the Tritheistic Sect will not let the people of the royal family get evil weapons, rather than let the treasure be destroyed, it is better to use it in their own hands!
The more Raphael thought about it, the smile on his lips brightened. But there were still many things to deal with before that, and as soon as Raphael whipped his horse, the horse ran quickly in pain.
St. Helier's harbor is a harbor with a huge circulation, and the curfew time is set after twelve o'clock, which is also the most active time of the dark forces, and a figure walks on the silent streets, very fast, and does not make a sound. This person was none other than Raphael.
Raphael was not in a hurry to negotiate with the Raven, he needed to get some useful information before considering it. Acting rashly will do nothing but make the situation worse. Easily dodging the inspection of the night patrol soldiers, he took out the hook rope used by the previous members of the guard, his arm shook slightly, the mechanism under the hook rope was touched, the hook flew out, grabbed at the city wall, tried the stability a little, and then the arm shook again, and the winch in it turned, bringing Raphael up.
The hook was upgraded in Raphael's hands, which was not a very difficult task, it was a child's toy compared to making a golem. Tumbling on the city walls with dexterity, he was like a nimble wanderer, then trotted forward in three steps and two steps, leaped off the walls, unfurled his gliding suit, and glided through the air like a bat hunting at midnight, adding warmth to it in order not to freeze into a fool.
The good thing about this kind of winter night is that you don't have to worry about the lack of wind, as long as you are skilled and use the circle on it, you don't need to worry about not being able to move forward! The lightness of noon didn't just confide in the lady, it left her own magical mark on it! It seems that the other party did not leave the small villa, which shows that the personnel behind it are not suspicious of their behavior in the morning!
Falling above the villa, there was no night watchman in the small clock tower, which was much better than he expected, otherwise he might have to worry a little more about the time!
I didn't come directly in a magical way, and I also had my own considerations. If he didn't join them, he would be a potential enemy, and Raphael wouldn't think they would let go of the reconnaissance of him. However, this operation is not without deep meaning, these equipment will be added to those investigators in the future, and as a designer, of course, he is not willing to let his work be full of loopholes!
Using mental power to scan the entire villa, there were many fewer snoopers than in the morning, only the butler and a few soldiers, who were guarding the door of the lady's room, obviously not at ease with her, and it seemed that there was no problem with their reasoning. This woman doesn't really do things for Archduke Louis Pershings!
I don't know how much she can know, Raphael tied a rope around her waist, jumped forward, the rope was 'whoosh' and was brought out, and then stopped in front of a window, Raphael had just applied himself a civet swiftness and light feathering technique, which made his movements very gentle, and landed on the glass without any sound!
However, the woman in the room happened to look out the window, and when she saw Raphael's gecko-like behavior, she couldn't suppress the surprise in her heart, and let out a slight soft sound. Raphael hurriedly swayed away from his position in front of the window. The next second, the door was pushed open by the soldiers outside the door, "What's going on?" Ms. Emma. The soldiers' words seemed to be inquiry, but the tone was clearly questioning!
"You guys are so rude! I accidentally knocked over the ink on the table, you are all so fussed, if I talk in my sleep at night, do you want to come in and ask me what I dreamed of?! The woman, Emma, immediately looked angrily at the soldiers who had broken into her room.
Sure enough, the soldiers saw that the ink poured on the table was falling from the wooden table to the precious blankets, and they did not apologize for their actions, "If necessary, we will do it." For someone as important as you, we naturally need to keep you safe! β
The soldiers' words made Emma's face turn pale, and then Emma roared angrily, "I am not wrong to work for you, but I am not your prisoner!" Get out, get out of here! β
"Of course, ma'am." Unannoyed by Emma's words, the soldiers cooperated and walked out of the room, closing the door softly.
Emma was relieved to see the soldiers go out, but fortunately, she had just been alert and knocked over the ink on the table. Otherwise, with the rigidity of these guys, it is really possible to find Raphael outside. But just when she was halfway angry, the door was pushed open again!
The alert fellows didn't let up and went in again, "I'm sorry, Ms. Emma. We've just seen a little mouse scurrying into your room, and it looks like we're mistaken! Emma's cheeks twitched a few times with this clumsy statement, "Get out, soldier!" β
As if to make sure there was nothing wrong with it, the soldiers actually closed the door.
Suddenly, a hand was on her red lips, and the anger just now made her cheeks flush, like a delicate rose, which looked very seductive.
βs'inceοΌβ A short incantation sounded, and Raphael let go of his hand.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Emma." Raphael bowed apologetically.
"Shhhh Don't be so loud, those guys outside will hear it! Emma lowered her voice, and then looked out of the door, lest the door be pushed open by the rude soldiers.
"Don't worry, Lady Emma, even if you demolish this house now, the soldiers outside won't find out!" Seeing the good-looking woman in front of him showing a cautious appearance like a kitten, Raphael couldn't help but smile and said.
"I almost forgot that you're a magician. Magic is a magical thing. Emma said with some envy.
"You can see that you are imprisoned. Need me to give you a chance to escape? "Using freedom as a bargaining chip is undoubtedly the most tempting for this kind of person!
"I would have liked to run away, but unfortunately my sister is still in their hands. If I run away, they won't let my sister go. Hearing Raphael's words, the woman's eyes dimmed slightly.
"Do you know where your sister is? Maybe I can save her by the way? "It's not much to save one more, Raphael doesn't mind buying one get one free.
"I don't know where she is now, a guy named Griffin took her away." The woman looked very annoyed, and at such times she could only sit here stupidly and work for her enemies.
"Why did they arrest you?" Listening to the woman's words, it is clear that she is not exactly just a tool used to seduce the male aristocracy. Otherwise, there is no need for the other party to use her sister as a means of threat.
"I have the blood of a baby, do you know about this creature?" Emma looked at Raphael.
"Yes." Raphael nodded, Meiwa is a kind of elf, they will remain beautiful and young all their lives, and time cannot leave any traces on their bodies. Therefore, many nobles wanted to have a loving encounter with this magical creature, and they would dance on the lake in the jungle under the moon on a midsummer night, which they called the 'Song of Spring', which means eternal youth.
Those men who are not determined will forget everything the moment they become infatuated with them, and they will completely obey the orders of Meiwa, become their playthings, and finally become the nourishment of the mother tree. It seems that the other party wants to use Emma's ability to capture those nobles so that they can obey their orders.
Relying on his powerful mental power, Raphael set his gaze on Emma's eyes, which had a faint peachy circle of light in those charming eyes. Sure enough, he has the bloodline of Meiwa, and the purity of the bloodline is still very high! This would explain why Emma is so important, it seems that her father is a strong-willed guy, and I heard that the man who can carry the charm of the baby and have sex with him can also have a little ability to stay young, especially in some ways will become very good!
"It's because of this bloodline that that guy named Griffin smashed my family and used my sister as a blackmail, so I had to work for them!" Emma seemed to hate her bloodline, and scratched her hair in annoyance.
Raphael didn't speak, his eyes were on her. For a long time, "I can save you, and I can find a way to help you rescue your sister." Even make you a magician! But I want you to pledge your allegiance to me! β
When he passed on the information earlier, Raphael unexpectedly discovered that the woman in front of him had the potential to become a magician, especially after hearing that she had the blood of a beautiful baby, he was even more interested. An illusion magician with the bloodline of Meiwa feels very powerful no matter how he thinks about it, how can such an ability be wasted by those mediocre people? She is perfectly capable of showing her true light in her own hands!
He didn't care if it was taking advantage of others, if he didn't have himself. This woman may eventually become the confinement of the Grand Duke of Louis Perchens, so it is better to take it herself, at least so that she can be treated well!
