"What do you plan to do with her? I have a suggestion. What do you think?" George said excitedly. "Why don't we put her in a golem? I know you have a high-level potion in your collection that can keep a person in a state of paralysis. They won't be able to speak or move, but their consciousness will be very clear. At the same time, their metabolism will be at its lowest. Even if they don't eat or drink, they can still live for ten days to half a month. Haha, wouldn't it be interesting when she wakes up and finds herself in a golem?"
However, Isabelle raised her eyebrows. "You better not have any ideas about her. The Chief Inquisitor cares about this child very much. I'll bring her back to the Sacred Union tomorrow."
George was stunned. "You're leaving tomorrow? But we haven't finished our mission yet. You're a veteran in the institute. You should know the consequences of stopping a mission without permission. "
"There are priorities. I think that escorting the current head of the Bretton Family should be a higher priority than our current mission," the female magician said calmly.
George's eyes lit up as if he had discovered something interesting. "Aiyo, is this the same Isabelle who warned me not to go overboard? You seem to value this girl very much. Could it be that you knew her before and wanted to let her go halfway? "
But very quickly, he overthrew his conjecture. "No, no, speaking of which, ever since we received this mission, your behavior has been different from usual. A few days ago, you even adopted a stray cat for the first time. Haha, Peter and Russell have only known you for a short time. They might not know what kind of person you are, but I know that you have never been the kind of woman who likes small animals. So why did you suddenly want to raise a cat? Come, let me guess."
The female magician looked at her companion coldly.
George was not frightened by her gaze. He rubbed his hands together excitedly and continued to talk to himself. "You must have had a hard time recently. You haven't been able to go out for such a long time. Among the three men in this courtyard, Russell and I are not interested in you, and Peter is not your cup of tea, so … Hmm, okay, that's not very likely. Besides, you fed this cat so much, but it seems like you don't plan to use it as a punching bag. Eh, this is interesting. Could it be that you raised it just to keep it company?"
George raised his head and showed a surprised expression. "No way. Are you so anxious and struggling in your heart that you need to raise a cat to relieve it? In that case, all of this has nothing to do with the girl from the Bretton family. She just happened to appear when you needed her the most, and you just used her as an excuse to leave this mission. "
George was deep in thought. "Isabelle, what are you afraid of?"
"You're not a magician. This has nothing to do with you." Isabelle bent down and checked the girl's body. After confirming that Lolo was completely unconscious, she cast a levitation spell on her and wanted to bring the girl back to her room.
He leaned against the wall and looked at the sorceress who was casting a spell. "Speaking of which, that Arc Light guy has always been mysterious. He is the commander of this operation, but until now, we haven't seen him in person. Every time something happens, it's his golem that comes looking for us. I've investigated the origin of the golem privately, and it turns out that it's just the most common standard golem. It's mass-produced by a large magic device workshop, and there are about 2,000 of them in the same batch. There's no way to investigate further. That Arc Light guy has hidden himself so well that not even a drop of water can leak out. Obviously, he's afraid of the target this time. You guys seem to have grasped something that I don't know."
Isabelle remained silent, seemingly agreeing with George's statement. However, she did not look like she was going to give her companion a scientific explanation.
George's eyes darted around, and suddenly, he rushed in front of Lolo. Before the female magician could react, he put the dagger on the girl's neck.
Isabelle was puzzled. "What's wrong with you? I have nothing to do with her. You want to use her to threaten me? Are you looking for the wrong person? "
George licked his lips and said, "Of course I know you have nothing to do with her, but you'd better pray that she can survive, at least until you bring her to the Chief Inquisitor. Otherwise, you have no reason to leave halfway. So if I were you, I'd tell me everything I know, and I promise I'll give her to you in one piece. By then, I won't care whether you stay or go. As long as you want, you can take her and leave Gudilesi tonight."
The female magician frowned. "I don't believe you can do it. If you kill her, how are you going to explain it to the Chief Judge?"
"That's my business. You don't have to worry about it." George pressed the dagger in his hand down, and a bloody mark appeared on the girl's neck.
Isabelle thought quickly in her mind. She was not sure whether George was bluffing or really crazy. After a while, the female magician finally spoke again.
"Magic is the greatest invention of mankind. In the eyes of mortals, magicians are omnipotent. But in fact, every magician has their own limits, and magic related to life is the limit of all magicians. This field is still a blank. However, there was once a rumor near Gudilesi that the Holy Roland Brotherhood Academy of Magic hides the last piece of the magic system."
George was a little surprised. "Someone has understood the secret of life?!"
The female magician shook her head. "No one can understand the secret of life. This is the biggest difference between mortals and gods. After all, rumors are just rumors. Their credibility is questionable."
George thought for a moment. "No, you didn't tell me everything. This still can't explain the panic in your heart. The secret of life is the field that every magician wants to touch. Why are you running away?"
This time, Isabelle was silent for a long time. George pressed the dagger lower and lower. Blood gushed out from Lolo's neck and dyed her clothes red. The young man urged, "Hurry up. You don't have much time."
However, the female magician laughed. "George, we've known each other for so long. Do you think I look like someone who will be threatened?"
"You have to give it a try before you know." George smiled brightly. "How about this. I'll count to three. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I'll cut her throat."
The young man raised a finger, and the dagger moved a little further. The girl frowned as if she could feel the pain even in her sleep.
Isabelle stood still, unmoved. George raised a second finger.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Oh?" A playful smile appeared on George's face. "What day is it today? There are so many guests."
