D 'Addarion and Lilith called a carriage and pretended to return to the Magician's Association. However, after half a magic hour, they sneaked back. D' Addarion used his authority as the president to requisition a house. The house was facing the back door of Megerson's mansion. Through the window, they could clearly see the street on the opposite side.
It was late at night. In the past six magic hours, D 'Addarion had been working hard for about three minutes. After that, he changed from squatting to sitting. Now, he was lying on the bed like a corpse. While eating the popcorn that he found in the drawer, he encouraged the original owner of the bed, a little girl less than eight years old, to steal an unfinished apple pie for him from the kitchen.
Lilith, on the other hand, did not seem to see the farce in front of her. She stood quietly in front of the window, staring at the movement on the other side of the street.
Anyone who had seen Lilith and D 'Addarion would feel that they were not compatible at all. If they were to be compared to a class, Lilith would probably be the model student in the class who excelled in both academic and moral conduct. D' Addarion, on the other hand, was a problematic teenager who played tricks every day. No matter how one looked at it, the two did not look like people who could be together. However, after five years, their relationship had been very stable, which surprised many people.
D 'Addarion repeated the boring game of throwing popcorn and catching it with his mouth. Each time, the success rate was less than half. Suddenly, Lilith, who was not far away, whispered, "They're coming."
The next moment, D 'Addarion quickly bounced up from the bed and went to the window. Sure enough, a Matthews family carriage quietly drove out from the back door. Lilith released a magic mark, and the two waited for a while. Seeing that no one else came out from the back door, they were basically sure that Megerson was in the carriage just now.
"He's less vigilant than I thought," D 'Addarion said.
"In fact, it's normal. The amnesia potion takes effect about one magic hour ago. If all goes well, he will think that today is still two days ago. At this time, there is no news from Armored Rock City. So, even if you suspect that he has a connection with the Patience Cult, you won't pay too much attention to him," D 'Addarion said. "Next, we should go and see what kind of fish we've caught."
…
In the carriage, Mei Jensen's face was sullen. He was no longer as relaxed as he was during the day. Tonight was the day of action. According to the agreement, regardless of success or failure, the Church of Patience would inform him immediately. But until now, there was still no news. Mei Jensen found that the messenger who had been following him before was gone, so he couldn't sit still anymore.
In his opinion, there was obviously something wrong with the Church of Patience. At this time, he must determine what happened as soon as possible. So Megson hesitated again and again, and finally used the emergency communication channel. He took the carriage to Flea Alley.
The viscount covered his face with a cloak and pushed open the door of a blacksmith shop.
Under the moonlight, Lilith saw the name on the signboard — Red Devil Weapon & Equipment Store.
"Here?" Lilith was surprised.
"What, you know this place?"
"Yes, it's a famous century-old shop in New Tylte City. The quality of the weapons they sell isn't inferior to the royal family's." Lilith's expression looked a little weird. She paused and said, "And it is said that the owner behind the Red Devils is the Augustine Family."
"The Augustine Family?" D 'Addarion also raised his eyebrows.
The Augustine Family was also a famous family in the Lionheart Empire. Although they were not as good as the Matthews Family in terms of history, their strength should not be underestimated. More importantly, their family also had a prime minister. Yes, the current prime minister of the empire, Pushkin, was the head of the Augustine Family.
"Things seem to be getting more and more interesting." The president of the Magic Association rubbed his nose, and his eyes flashed with an imperceptible light.
"What should we do now? Should we close the net?" Lilith asked.
Someone's plan was actually quite risky. Once Megson saw the people from the Church of Patience, or someone inadvertently reminded him along the way, he would soon realize that he had fallen into a trap. There was a high probability that he would immediately return home, or even deliberately release some smoke bombs to confuse the enemy. But if they closed the net too early, it was uncertain whether they could catch the person responsible for contacting him.
Lilith's proposal to strike now was to gamble that the target was in the Red Devil Weapon & Equipment Store. However, D 'Addarion did not respond immediately. He seemed to be still thinking. After a while, he raised his head again, "No, let's wait."
Lilith did not ask anything. She nodded. The two hid behind a small tree on the side of the road. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Megson came out of the Red Devils again. He looked like he was in a hurry. He did not even pay attention to the surrounding situation as usual. He directly got into the carriage.
Lilith gave him an inquiring look.
"Don't worry about the Red Devils. We just need to follow him closely." D 'Addarion released a levitation spell for himself and Lilith and said quickly.
"Why are you so sure that Megson hasn't contacted the Church of Patience yet?"
"No, he should have already contacted the contact person arranged by the Church of Patience. But I think the whole process is divided into two parts. Megson first met the middleman, and the middleman did not know the identity of the two people. This is the only way to ensure the safety of both parties. So now Megson has only completed the first step. He conveyed the signal of meeting, and the other party responded and chose the meeting place. Only by following him can we meet the higher-ups of the Church of Patience. The wealth and power of Megson, or the Matthews family, are very important to the Church of Patience. Therefore, they will definitely send someone with enough weight to answer Megson's question."
"Are these all your guesses?"
"Not all of them. I just sensed a magic fluctuation, a total of two times. It's very weak. If it's a teleportation circle, it can probably only teleport small items. It can't teleport a living person. That's why I thought of acting as a middleman. " "Of course, now that Megson has contact with the people of the Church of Patience, he realized that the risk of falling into their trap is much greater. But I still insist that, from a safety point of view, Megson should not have too much communication with the middleman. Personally, I'm more inclined to think that he hasn't found out that he is in 'two days later'."
