Chapter 231: Fatal Temptation
The Kadir family.
"What? Don asks to see? ”
Frank thought he had misheard.
Charles and Morton looked at each other, their faces slightly gloomy.
After a moment of silence, Frank said, "Let him in, I want to see what this little friend has to say." ”
After the butler left, Frank said in a deep voice, "Didn't Don go back to Ellington?" How could it still be in Alinks? ”
Charles frowned: "Unless he has some means to get back and forth between Ellington and Alinks quickly." ”
"Teleportation!"
Moulton's eyes lit up: "Tang En is a wild mage, he is likely to have mastered the teleportation technique!" ”
"The teleportation technique is a fifth-order spell, if you master the teleportation technique, doesn't it mean that Tang En may be a grandmaster-level magician? A grandmaster-level wild mage, can he still be regarded as a wild mage? ”
Those who have mastered fifth-order spells are not necessarily grandmaster-level mages, but grandmaster-level mages must have mastered fifth-order spells, which is why Frank is so out of shape.
Charles's face was extremely bad, if Tang En was really a grandmaster-level wild mage, it was almost 100% certain that he was definitely the one who secretly played the black hand in the noble council that day.
What's worse is that a grandmaster-level mage is a famous figure even in Silver City, let alone outside.
You must know that not only the Illuth Empire, but also other countries in Plandar are extremely eager for magicians to join, and magicians who have not joined the Silver City are simply rare, and even less powerful.
Donn's status in Ilrus is likely to stem from his Grandmaster-level Wild Mage's strength. That's why Victor will spare no effort to support him!
Frank felt like he saw the truth.
There was a knock on the door, and the three people in the room put away their uncertain expressions and returned to their indifferent appearances.
"Come in."
"Yo. It's all there. ”
Don glanced at Molton curiously, he hadn't seen this second son of the Kadir family before, and after glancing at him, Don lost interest and refocused on the squinting monster Frank.
Frank said slowly, "Baron Donn, isn't there anyone who teaches you to be respectful enough in front of a duke?" ”
"Respect? I already have it, or I'd be sitting at the table when I came in. ”
Don waved his hand disapprerovingly: "I have something to say to you." I'm not here to chatter. ”
"Something? What will happen to you? ”
Charles sneered: "Could it be that where did you find an IOU owed by our Kadir family?" ”
"I thought so, but unfortunately I didn't."
Tang En's face was regretful: "If I get a few more, I will get rich directly." ”
Charles was furious: "Presumptuous! Last time, the Grand Duke of Aubury and the Grand Duke of Adrien supported you. This time you came alone, who gave you the confidence to be presumptuous!? ”
Morton glanced at his brother and lowered his head a little weakly.
Who gave him the confidence to be presumptuous? Didn't we just deduce that he was a grandmaster-level magician......
Does a grandmaster-level mage still lack this confidence......
"Wrong, wrong."
Don shook his head: "First." I didn't come alone. Van Cleef. ”
"Boss."
Van Cleef silently emerged from the shadows beside him.
Charles was shocked to see Van Cleef, but years of training had allowed him to control the expression on his face.
Frank has better control over his emotions, after all, he is an old goblin who has been in politics for many years, and this bit of self-cultivation is still there.
"Oh? Baron Donne, you take a ...... Did the Assassin come to see the old man to threaten the Duke? ”
The old fritters in the political arena will do this, no matter what the real situation is, first button the hat to the other party.
"Don't rush to button my hat."
Donn pouted. sneered: "I asked him to come out, just to let you know." There are some things that everyone knows, Van Cleef. ”
Van Cleve didn't look at Charles and them, lowered his head, and his figure twisted for a while, and disappeared again.
"The second point is about my confidence......
Don En stepped forward, looked at them with a playful look and said, "Do you think that I still need to find some backers to deal with you?" ”
The oppressive atmosphere silenced everyone.
The incense in the incense burner sizzled, and a faint smoke enveloped Frank's body, making it difficult to see the change in his expression.
"Haha......"
Frank suddenly laughed: "Baron Don really likes to joke, come on, give me a seat!" ”
"No, I'll bring my own seat."
Don snapped his fingers slightly, and a lounge chair that he had made with alchemy appeared next to him, and then sat down opposite Frank, while the mage's hand was holding a hot teapot and pouring tea, not to mention how comfortable it was.
Charles looked at the ring on Donn's hand with a little jealousy.
Space equipment......
There aren't even many of their Kadir family, and it's an outrageous waste for this guy to use such precious space equipment to install seats!
Frank didn't react much, the ring he was wearing on his hand was also a space equipment, and the quality was not bad.
Although space equipment is scarce, it is a thing in the field of magic after all, and there are still a lot of space equipment in the group of magicians.
Merely......
Frank's gaze fell on the teacup that Don was holding.
It's nothing to use space equipment to install seats and tea sets, but ......
What made Frank care was the tea in the teacup.
The tea is golden in color, but it is very clear, exuding an alluring fragrance, just smelling the aroma, his aging body seems to be awakened to potential, in the hungry body, every cell is desperately absorbing that trace of fragrance, as if there is some power contained in it.
What is it?
Watching Tang En drink the mysterious golden tea. Frank suppressed his curious words, he knew he couldn't ask, he shouldn't ask. He didn't dare to ask.
It was a very happy feeling, which made him want to moan out, but Frank felt terrified.
He knew he was old, but the power of the scent seemed to rejuvenate him and rejuvenate him.
It is a very intoxicating, even addictive, feeling full of deadly temptations.
As an extremely sane person. At the same time, there is another force hidden in his body, but he is instinctively afraid of this sense of loss of control.
Longing, but also afraid. Frank's ambivalent mood pained Frank's heart.
He was afraid to know the truth.
That would make him despair.
Why don't you dare to ask about things that make people rejuvenate? Why are you afraid to know?
Because, for the sake of his life, he has already made a choice. Now he has no choice.
If you let him know now that there is no other path than the one he has chosen. There is also a path that only needs to drink tea to regain his youth, then he will really fall into despair.
Donn noticed Frank's tangled gaze, "You seem curious about my tea?" Would you like a drink? ”
Frank opened his mouth, then closed his eyes in great pain and shook his head, "No." ”
Tang En smiled brightly: "Well, it just so happens that I didn't plan to invite you to drink." ”
Frank: "......"
Charles: "......"
Moulton: "......"
The room fell silent again, except for the sound of Don sipping tea.
"Alright, don't play any more silence."
After drinking a cup of tea, Tang En, who was comfortable all over, stretched. Breaking the silence: "We all know very well what you have done, and you know what the consequences will be for you if I hand this over to Victor. Everyone's not stupid, so let's make a deal. ”
Frank squinted his eyes and said slowly, "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”
"Are you going to play dumb with me?"
Tang En pursed his lips, snapped his fingers, and the tattered corpse of the poison sickle appeared beside him: "Who is he, I don't think I need to introduce him again, right?" ”
"Sorry, I don't know him."
Frank shook his head: "Baron Donne, do you have anything else?" ”
"It seems that you don't want to make a deal with me, in that case, then I can only go to His Majesty Victor, I believe he will be happy to see me."
Don didn't talk nonsense to Frank either, put away the body and the chair, got up and left.
Negotiation, the most important point is to take the initiative, he is not stupid, Frank is not stupid, he is pretending to be stupid just to gain more initiative, but seeing that Don En got up without hesitation and prepared to leave, Rao is Frank, he was also a little uncontrollable.
Because if this matter falls into the hands of Victor, it will indeed become a strong evidence for him to deal with the aristocratic faction, and it will be a reason that the noble council cannot refute.
One......
Two......
Three......
Don thought silently in his heart.
He's gambling.
But even if he loses the bet, he can't lose anything, but Frank is different, if he loses the bet, he will at least lose his skin.
Four......
Five......
Frank's voice came from behind: "Baron Don, the weather is fine this afternoon, are you interested in going to the garden with me?" ”
The bet won.
Donn paused: "I'll be waiting for you in the garden." ”
With that, he left.
In the room, Frank's face immediately became gloomy and terrifying.
"What did I say before?"
Frank's gloomy eyes stared at Charles and Moulton: "Don't test Don until the real results of the investigation are out!" Now, you're sending a poison sickle to assassinate him!? ”
"Father's ......"
Charles was covered in a cold sweat: "Before you gave the order, the poisonous sickle and they had already set off." ”
"You're explaining to me?"
Charles was chilled.
Morton hurriedly said: "Father, you can't blame my brother, this is a thing of the past, and the most important thing now is to figure out two things, first, why our family's dead soldier Van Cleef turned to Donne, and second, what does Donn want." ”
"Not bad......"
Frank let out a black breath, leaned back in his chair and was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'll go and negotiate with him later, Charles, the position of acting patriarch is temporarily handed over to Moulton, you can reflect on your actions first." ”
Morton was overjoyed, Charles's face stiffened, and he bowed his head and said, "Yes, Father." (To be continued.) )
