226. The True Face of the Drawing
"Why is Viscount Furlong in such a hurry?" Pache suddenly let out a chuckle as she stood in the way.
Alfred and Anno looked at each other, both at a loss as to what to do. In terms of situation, Pache . Boulder and the Hasteen family are obviously on the wrong path, and Patchouli does not have any hostility at this time, plus they were allies on the same front not long ago, so Alfred and Anno don't know whether they should immediately kill Patchouli with a killer at this moment.
Seeing that the situation seemed to be a little stiff, Sean in the carriage finally sighed helplessly, and then opened the door and got out of the car.
Patchouli just glanced at Sean, and her face changed slightly: "What's wrong with you?" ”
At this time, Sean's face was so pale that he was bloodless, although he could still walk, but the whole person revealed an extremely weak appearance, and it seemed that he would die at any time, no wonder Patchouli's face changed greatly. Although Sean had already shown fatigue when he fought with the magician before, when he left Hastings Manor, Sean's face was not so pale, which was completely beyond Pache expected.
"There is still some pressure in the face of the coercion of the golden powerhouse." Sean smiled and said very flatly, "It's good to have a day off." ”
Pache Teau's eyes flickered, but she still didn't say anything.
"How do you know that we will go here?" Sean cleverly changed the subject, not asking Patchouli what would appear here, but asking in a different way.
"Thank you." Pache Li, who heard Sean's question, also sighed helplessly, and then said in a tone that seemed to be resigned to fate, "Xie Lu, thank you for saving Tibber." ”
"He's fine, is he?"
"Internal organs are damaged, and the strength may be reduced, but a person like him who is hovering on the line of life and death. It's good to survive. Patchouli shook her head slightly, "The doctor said that there is no chance of recovery, but it needs to be helped by the priest of the Temple of Life, so Tibor is not a big problem." …… In any case, I still want to thank you for saving him. ”
"After all, we're allies, so it's just a mutual benefit." Sean smiled, neither polite nor modest.
He knew that dealing with these madmen at the Haltham Institute, deliberately selling favors or flattering would only make things more complicated and troublesome, and that it was far better to treat everything as if it were a business or some kind of transaction. This makes it easier for these lunatics to accept.
"Want to hear a story?" Pache suddenly smiled slightly, changed the subject, and did not continue to dwell on the matter of Tibber.
"Can I still refuse?" Sean sighed, this time it was real helplessness.
"I'm going to the border village just as well, so let's go along the way." Pache continued. However, her actions were not polite at all, and she got into the carriage directly. "I'm with you. You will receive a little less attention, after all, no matter how dissatisfied the Hasteens are with the Boulder family, as long as I am still a scholar of the Temple of Wisdom, they will not dare to openly investigate me, so if I go with you, even if the Hasteens receive the news, they will not come to investigate you. Instead, they will find a way to get close to you. ”
Listening to Pachualie's statement, Sean wanted to say that walking with you would attract more attention, but this sentence still didn't come out after all. But he must also admit that Patchouli is right in one sentence. That is, if she walked with her, then they would not be alerted by the Hastings family if they deviated from the avenue and went to the border village of Ting Chiin's territory, on the contrary, they would try their best to contact themselves and others to try to win them over, which could be regarded as a guarantee.
It's just that Sean doesn't understand, Patchouli also designed to frame herself before, and even planned to assassinate herself, but how can she help herself? Sean never believed that the mere fact that he had saved Thiber and had the two factions of the Freestyle and the Regenerator working together would make Pache grateful to him. These researchers from the Haytham Institute are basically cold-blooded animals who are close to desirelessness, and if you want them to be grateful, it is only possible to shorten the time of a research project like he helped the reborn.
But since he couldn't figure it out, and Pache also came alone, showing full sincerity, then Sean certainly didn't have any objections.
Soon, the carriage was back on its way.
However, the atmosphere in the carriage is not so relaxed.
Pache who was sitting face-to-face with Sean really exuded the indifference of a research scholar at the moment, which made Shawn a little unclear about Pache Licouli's intentions.
"I have an older brother."
After about ten minutes of silence, Patchouli seemed to have finished looking at Sean and finally spoke first.
"He and I are half-siblings, although we are both direct children, but our mothers are all from favored concubines."
Sean nodded slightly in understanding.
As a powerful duke, it is normal to have a favored concubine, but under normal circumstances, it is difficult to keep the children of the favored concubine. Every favorite concubine who is pregnant with a child wants to give birth to a child is no less than a battle of wits and courage, because although these children are considered concubines, they are also descendants after all, and nominally they have the right to inherit titles more than illegitimate children.
"My mother died after giving birth to me, and I was raised by my brother's mother." Pache turned her head and looked out the window of the carriage with a slightly gloomy expression, "So when I was young, I was always clinging to my brother. It can be said that if it weren't for my brother, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”
Sean listened quietly and didn't interject, though he didn't understand what Patchoulie meant by saying these words to him.
"So I once swore that I could sacrifice everything for my brother." Patchouli suddenly turned her head and looked at Sean, and that look made Sean feel a little creepy for a while, "This time the matter is not actually my responsibility, it is only because I heard that something happened to my brother, so I specially applied for it to be carried out." But what I didn't expect was that by the time I rushed back to the tequila territory, my brother was gone. ”
Sean's back suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he realized that something seemed to be wrong.
"You say, if it's you. When you rush home full of hope to meet your brother, only to learn that your brother has to leave his home country due to some accident, do you think you resent the culprit? Patchouli continued to say to herself, "Originally, my brother was just under house arrest, although his freedom is restricted, but at least he can live an easy life in the future." But there is a man named Sean. Connery's lord is because of some private conspiracy, pretending to start a war in the name of my brother, which caused my brother to have to cut ties with the Boulder family, and now he is going to the west of the continent. Is Connery the culprit? ”
Sean swallowed.
Although it was true that he started this war because of Elsie. But in fact, at the beginning, it was also the idea of killing two birds with one stone to force the kingdom of Dabiang to go to war. Of course, the outcome was even more favorable to him than Sean had predicted. But it is true that as Pache said, Elsie has now defected from the Boulder family because of his reasons, and his actions are indeed a "private conspiracy".
These are impossible to hide in front of the eyes of Pache as a scholar.
"So I once said that if I met that Sean. Sir Connery's words. I'm going to make him look good. Even if you can't kill him, you won't make his life easier. ”
This time. Sean was really in a cold sweat.
If you really want to be targeted by a scholar from the Haytham Institute. That's not a good thing. It's fine if the scholar doesn't have much influence in his own right, but if the scholar has a lot of influence within the Haytham Institute, then things get very complicated.
At this moment, Sean finally understood why Pache wanted to walk with him.
I believe that people from both the Boulder family and the Hasteen family will know that Patchoulie is walking with Sean at the moment, that is, if Sean wants to kill people here. It simply doesn't work. The situation seems to be dangerous for Patchouli, but in fact it is very safe, and it is Sean who falls into the trap and does not dare to act rashly.
Patchouli had a smile on her face, and the pride of a scholar appeared on her face again. Actually, this is not difficult to imagine. A shrewd scholar like Pache would not hide anything if he had the upper hand at all: "I'm sure you know my brother, right?" …… Sean. Sir Connery. ”
Hearing Pache reveal her identity without hesitation, Sean was a lot more relaxed: "When did you find out my identity?" ”
"It's not a discovery, it's just a reminder." Patchouli smiled, "You rejected Bony at the beginning. There are rumors about Professor Wright throughout the Haytham Institute, and many people are more or less interested in you afterwards, and of course they will check your registration information. …… But this is just a trivial matter, I didn't think that the name registered in the registration information was Sean at first, mainly because at the time of the martial arts arena, Yeles was a little nervous and lost his words, which attracted my attention. ”
Hearing Pache say this, Sean also remembered that Yeles was indeed speechless because of excitement in the underground martial arts arena, but he quickly realized that the problem had been corrected, but he didn't expect to be caught by Patchouli.
"But even so, I'm still not sure, so I left Hasting Manor early and waited here." Pache continued with a smile and said, "According to the information I have, Panda Ling is now facing the crisis of the Territory Judgment Trial, if you are really Shaun. Connery's words will definitely come to pick up the territorial documents that were placed in the Hastings Manor, and today's banquet is your last chance, although I don't know how you obtained this paperwork, but I'm sure if you really are Shaun. Sir Connery's words, then after the feast you will be sure to take the trail to the side village and leave Tinchiin. ”
"Very careful reasoning." Sean nodded, since his identity has been revealed, there is naturally no need to hide it, "So what are you going to do?" ”
"Originally, I really wanted to make some trouble for you, but for the sake of our current happy cooperation and my brother's not too much loss, as long as you tell me one thing, then our past grievances will be over."
"Regarding that mysterious drawing, in addition to the Freedom faction you represent and the Regenerator faction of Jeles, you also need to go to Archmage Tallero looking out at the spire." Without Pache opening his mouth, Sean knew what she wanted to ask, and this matter was also beneficial to him, and now if you add the danger that you can avoid the constant staring of a Haytham madman's group, it will be a thousand benefits and no harm, so of course Sean will not refuse.
"Looking at the minaret? …… A minaret looking out over everything? The only remaining school hall today? ”
"Yes." Sean nodded.
"Tarcelo...... I've never heard of that name. ”
"What if I say the Spacelord?"
"One of the only remaining Seven Sages in the world?" Pache let out an exclamation, "What exactly does this drawing record, and it actually needs the help of the Space-Time Lord, one of the Seven Sages?" ”
"This is a truly epoch-making film!" Although Sean was calm at the moment, his words still revealed extreme excitement, "You may not understand what I say, but you can understand it if I say it another way." …… The rune array recorded on this drawing is the teleportation array that appeared at the end of the Dawn Era!
