Meg sat behind the bar counter, munching on sunflower seeds as he listened to the two men drinking and reminiscing about their good and drinking friends.
The wine was good, and the dishes went well with the wine. After downing half a bottle of Maotai, the two of them began to talk nonsense in their drunken stupor. Even Andre was mocked by them.
As an interrogator, Meg wouldn't let go of such an opportunity. He went up to them and sat down at their table.
"Who … who are you? Why are you sitting with us? "Lucian was still wary as he tilted his head and looked at Meg.
"Here, here, here. Have another glass." Mag helped him fill up the glass, and then shoved it into his hand.
Lucian raised the glass to his mouth mechanically, and finished it in one gulp. His drunken eyes became even more blurry as he put his arm around Meg's shoulder and slurred, "Where … where were we just now?"
"We were talking about Josh coming to the court of the Ministry of War and summoning all the officials in the name of His Majesty," Meg said.
"Yes. His Highness Josh gathered all the officials in the Ministry of War, and then took out His Majesty's card to order the border troops to attack the orcs and elves. What did the Ministry of War do? I'm just following the rule that His Majesty set back then, and following His Highness Joshua's instructions, I issued the order. " Lucian covered his face and sobbed for a while. He couldn't help but cry. "But the ones who were convicted were the loyal officials of the Ministry of War, and the ones who died were their family members. How could this be …"
Under Meg's persuasion, Lucian, a big shot in the Ministry of War, began to pour out his grievances. He told him the inside story of this incident and Andre's attitude. It was first-hand information that even Chaos City might not be able to get.
Half an hour later, Meg went out and called Lucian's coachman and guards in to carry the two drunk men away.
"Our business for the day is over." Meg watched as the horse-drawn carriage disappeared into the distance. He flipped over the wooden plaque hanging on the door. He had gained quite a lot of information today. He now had a rough understanding of the current situation in the Roth Empire.
"Closed again? Is it so boring for rich people to open taverns? " Ai Fei couldn't help but mutter when she saw the scene of Meg flipping the wooden sign and entering the door while sending a drunken guest out.
Compared to being so busy every day, she also wanted to experience this kind of boring and boring life.
Ai Fei sighed. "Alas, it's a pity that we're late."
"We're leaving now?" Irina came down from upstairs and had already finished changing. She wore a tight black night suit, which perfectly highlighted her curvaceous figure.
"Please wait a moment." Meg went upstairs and changed into a set of black clothes. However, he was wearing a large black robe, and the shadow cast by the huge hat completely covered his face.
He lowered his hat.
"Hmm?" Irina looked at his face and was slightly surprised.
"Do we look alike?" Meg asked with a smile.
"How did you do it?" Irina went up to touch his face. Meg went upstairs, and actually disguised himself as Josh. It was almost exactly the same.
"I got a mask previously. After wearing it, I can imitate anyone's appearance," Meg explained.
"Oh …" Irina thought for a while, and said, "Then you can also imitate me?"
"Er …" Meg pondered, and said, "Theoretically, it's not a problem."
"Tsk, tsk. Tell me, have you done anything shameful with this mask in the past?" Irina asked with a smile.
"I don't cross-dress." Meg quickly waved his hands.
"Heh." Irina smiled and took out her magic caster's staff. "Then let's go."
A golden light flashed, and the two of them disappeared from the tavern.
…
"At home?"
"Yes, in the manor. But there's a 10th-tier knight guarding outside his room."
"Leave the knight to me, and Bloom to you. Take care of the details. We only have three minutes."
"Let's go."
Two shadows flitted across the sky above the general's manor.
"Did you see anything floating by just now?"
"Your eyes must be playing tricks on you. Or did you pay too much last night? It's too fake," the two guards outside the walls mumbled.
After Meg and Irina entered the manor, they split up.
The plan this time was called: Kill Bloom!
Of course, killing him was not the goal. How to frame Josh for his death was the key to their plan.
Meg's target was that 10th-tier knight, and the task of killing Bloom was left to the special effects master and light master Irina. She was to present a large-scale horror film directed by Meg for Bloom.
Mag squatted on a nearby tree branch as he looked at the 10th-tier knight sitting at the entrance of the room. His longsword was propped up beside him, and even though his eyes were closed, he could still sense the knight's powerful aura.
He recognized this knight. Lear was a powerful knight in the military. He was an upright person, and was not Bloom's confidant. He should have been sent to Bloom's manor by Andre to protect him.
At this distance, Meg was confident that he could kill him with a flying sword. However, such a flashy way of killing would easily make others think of him.
Furthermore, he did not intend to kill Lear. This knight's reputation was very good among the 10th-tier knights. It was not worth it for him to die for a villain like Bloom.
Therefore, Meg directly jumped out and walked toward Lear, who was sitting at the door. A series of black shadows appeared behind him.
Don't panic. These were all special effects. Meg bought them from the system. They were usually used as special effects on stage.
At the same time, a bowl-shaped barrier slowly rose up and enveloped the courtyard, temporarily isolating it from the outside world.
The knight who had his eyes closed all this time suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, he grasped the long sword beside him. Looking at the black-robed man who was approaching step by step like a ghost, he slowly stood up and shouted with a dignified expression, "Who are you!"
"Keke." The black-robed figure let out a ghostly cackle, and suddenly accelerated toward the knight.
The knight held his sword with both hands, and also charged toward the black-robed figure. At the same time, he issued a warning for help.
The two of them were dozens of meters apart, and they clashed in the blink of an eye.
The knight held his sword with both hands, and slashed it forward. A terrifying sword intent rose from the sword, as if it could tear through everything.
However, the black-robed figure was like a ghost. He glided past the longsword, and apart from a corner of his clothes being cut off, he was completely unharmed.
The knight's expression changed. He wanted to turn his longsword around, but something hot stabbed into his back, and he suddenly fell forward.
"Ah! Josh!"
Right at this moment, a bloodcurdling scream suddenly sounded from the house behind.
"General!" The knight's expression changed. Ignoring the pain in his back, he turned back to look. Bloom's bedroom had been set ablaze. The flames were burning fiercely, and were quickly spreading out.
"Bastard!" The knight raised his sword and pounced toward the black-robed figure. Although the black-robed figure moved like a ghost, he was still cut a few times. Suddenly, he flashed back, and the wide black robe suddenly fell back, revealing his face.
"Your Highness Josh!" The knight was shocked, and subconsciously stopped in his tracks.
The black-robed figure fled in a panic, and rushed into the fire, disappearing without a trace.
