"Master Zweig! This Angele is too arrogant! The Twisted Blue Prison is under our family's control! What gives him the right to take away a prisoner?! Also, that woman …!! "Knight Ali stood in the living room with a furious expression on his face.
"It seems like you don't want to get involved in the power struggle here," Jolin continued. "You're right. The Zweig Family is backed by the third most powerful family in the kingdom. Even a Mystic wouldn't want to make a move on such a huge monster. "
Angele looked at her with a surprised expression.
In a small garden in the middle of an intersection, there was a bronze statue of a woman. The statue was wearing a silk dress and holding a bottle of water in her hand. There were many white and yellow flowers around the statue.
The dense foliage blocked most of the light, and the surroundings appeared to be a deep dark green.
"Qiulin. Just call me Qiulin." Her eyes were calm. "You deliberately let Xi Wei block your way, didn't you?"
Only a few withered yellow leaves were blown by the wind and rolled on the street. Angele could hear the sound of a harmonica and the laughter of a girl in the distance. It seemed like someone was having a party or a salon.
There were broken walls, moss-covered stairs, and a stone house covered with moss and vines.
At night, in a remote abandoned villa area in Lennon City.
"I hope you're not lying to me," he muttered. He drew a red rune in the air with his right hand. The rune floated in the air and glowed.
"Is this the place?" Angele asked as he walked up the stairs.
In a dense forest, Angele and Jolin were walking in front of each other.
Outside Lennon City.
"Enough!" Zweig yelled. "Ali, you're so old, but you're still so impulsive! We haven't solved the problem with Anyua yet, and the kingdom's leaders are focusing on the Holy Gear. Everything else is trivial! I don't care what deal you have with the Snake of Sand Forest. Angele already warned you. He didn't kill you because he didn't want to offend the Zweig Family. There's no need to kill him. Do you really think Harland doesn't know what you're doing? "
"How … how is this possible!?!?" He involuntarily took a step back, fear and astonishment on his face.
Also, Angele suspected that the wizards from the school were supporting the Great Noble Families. Therefore, before he had a clear understanding of the situation, he would not rashly fall out with the other party.
The hut was located on a high platform and could be reached by using a stone staircase.
Qiulin stared at him suspiciously for a while. Finally, she was sure that he had no intention of attacking her. Only then did he slowly retreat until he retreated into the forest. Only then did he quickly turn around and stagger into the dense forest, quickly disappearing.
"I was indeed blocked." He did not deny it directly. But he did not admit it either.
"Are you sure you want to let me go?" Qiu Lin was taken aback.
Ali then realized that there was a cut on his neck, and he reached out to touch it. It was a very thin wound. It wouldn't bleed if he didn't touch it with force. But even when he pressed his hand on it, he didn't feel any pain at all. It was as if he wasn't injured at all. It was as if the wound had been numbed.
All the white lines eventually converged into a circle. It was a circle with a skull drawn on it. 'Moon Gin Manor' was written in red on the side.
The night at the crossroad was quiet. There were no pedestrians, no carriages, and it was deadly silent.
"Why are you looking at me?" Angele asked in a light tone. "Tell me your name," Qiulin said.
"You can only hold on for four days. If you don't receive the best treatment in four days, you'll die," Angele said in a light tone. "Alright, tell me, what's the relationship between this house and the Dragon Scale Flower?"
Angele remained silent for a while. He pulled out the stopper of the small glass tube, poured out the black cloth inside, and gently unfolded it.
Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine.
She reached her hand into her breasts and quickly took out a small glass tube. There was a small piece of black cloth inside.
"How did you know that? I should be glad that we didn't attack you first." Qiulin swallowed her saliva. She was scared.
A gentle breeze blew past, and the flowers in the garden immediately rustled.
"You don't need to know where it is." She threw the glass tube to Angele. "This is the location of the Dragon Scale Flower. We found the place by accident, but I have to warn you that it's very dangerous. We sent more than 100 people to the place, but only one of them managed to bring back a Dragon Scale Flower. The rest of them never came back. "
There was a map with white lines on the cloth. The route on the map was like a dense spider web. There were many nodes, and the nodes were marked with small names of places.
Ali opened his mouth, but he still looked as if he couldn't get rid of his anger.
"You know a lot." Angele smiled. "I'm just warning him. It doesn't mean I'm afraid of Zweig. It's just a small conflict, and it's not worth it for either of us to start a large-scale conflict. " Ramsoda College was behind him. Although it was weaker than the Wizard Alliance in the North, it was still a piece of cake for them to deal with a big family in a kingdom. However, things were not as simple as that.
"Alright, you can leave now." Angele did not care about her reaction.
Angele was a bit surprised, but he did not show it on his face.
"It's up to you whether you believe me or not." Jolin remained calm.
The villas here were all built with red stone bricks. The ground was made of black stone slabs that looked like sand.
* * *
"I said … Enough!" Zweig's expression turned serious. He suddenly put his hand on Ali's neck.
"Of course," Angele said in a light tone. "You're useless to me now. I'll keep my promise and let you go. "
The place where the two of them were at was the ruins of a building that had once stood.
"The cloth was put in a week ago, right? The lines on it were drawn by different people over a long period of time. Judging from the strokes, the lines were drawn by many people. It's very realistic. I don't think you're lying to me. "He raised his head and saw Jolin staring at him in shock. It seemed like what Angele said was the truth.
* * *
"Kill me? If he didn't ambush me …! "
Angele stood still and looked at the black cloth in his hand. His eyebrows furrowed.
"Alright, prepare to wash your body. I'll take you out of here. " Angele stood up. "But don't try to lie to me. Otherwise, you'll find life in prison much better than you thought."
"Yes." Jolin nodded. Her face was pale and it was hard for her to walk.
"Without the help of Mystic, we're no threat to him. I won't stop you if you want to die. Why do you think Harland allowed him to enter our territory? No, he did it to create a conflict between us. He purposely left a fuse between us and arranged the time perfectly. It must have been hard on him … "Zweig spoke in a cold tone." The most important thing now is to find Anyua! The Holy Gear is supposed to belong to us! If he didn't expose himself … I would've gotten it already! "
Zweig's mansion.
"Didn't they search your belongings before you entered the prison? The female prison guards let you hide them in there? "Zweig was surprised." Where did you hide them? "
Angele caught the glass tube and noticed that it was still warm from the girl's body. He scrunched his eyebrows. Suddenly, he thought of a possible hiding place and his heart skipped a beat. But he quickly suppressed it.
Ali gritted his teeth. "So we'll let him take the prisoner away?"
Jolin took a few steps forward and stood on the platform. She glanced left and right as if she was looking for something. After a while, a trace of disappointment appeared on her face.
"Look at this." He touched the right side of Ali's neck. His finger was stained with blood. "Almost. If it weren't for Xi Wei's intervention, you wouldn't have been able to walk back here."
Deep in the forest, Qiulin was staggering forward. A similar red rune appeared on her back, emitting a pale red glow. Jolin did not notice it at all.
Qiulin followed behind him without saying a word. Her face was still covered by a layer of black cloth, but she had changed into a tight brown leather armour. Her fair and round thighs were each wrapped with a belt, with a row of iron daggers inserted into the belt. There were eight daggers in total.
"How can I believe what you said?" he asked in a deep voice.
* * *
Jolin's face turned red.
Angele carefully stepped on the stone stairs. The moss on the stairs would make people slip if they were not careful. The air was cold and damp, and there was a musty smell in the air.
He did not kill Ali, but only warned him. If Ali died in his hands, Zweig would take revenge on Angele for the sake of his family's reputation. It was not what Zweig wanted, and it was not what Angele wanted either.
Angele checked it carefully and found the sign of Lennon City on it. However, it was still far away from the skull circle.
"Alright, I understand Angele's intention. Don't mess with him. I heard he's from Ramsoda College, and the people from that college are evil and cruel," Zweig said in a deep voice.
Angele scrunched his eyebrows.
The female prisoner looked at him and scrunched her eyebrows.
There was a dagger with a black gem on his belt, and a metal bow on his back. Angele did not bring his crossguard sword. The sword was broken after so many battles, so he decided not to use it anymore.
