"Sorry, I'm a bit late today. I feel dizzy and my nose is blocked. I think I have a fever. Well, I'll try to recover today. I'll make up for it tomorrow. "
"It's true that I'm suffering from the aftereffects after two days of being a fast learner."
…
In the VIP dining room.
Granneuve asked his guard to light up a thick black cigarette. He took a deep puff and said rudely, "A girl who is good at music is much better than those girls who jumped into my arms immediately after they gave me gifts."
"Boss Granneuve, I don't think Miss Grace likes you very much," said his guard in a low voice.
Granneuve laughed out loud, "That's why I feel a sense of accomplishment. Don't you think it's great that I can conquer such a reserved girl with my charm?"
"Charisma …" Granneuve's guard was speechless, but he knew that Granneuve's uncouth, rude, uneducated, and lecherous attitude was just his cover, otherwise he would not be able to maintain the order in Sturk.
At this time, Grace walked in through the door opened by the waiter.
Granneuve put out the cigarette in the ashtray and asked in confusion, "Grace, why are your eyes red and swollen? Who bullied you?"
"No, it's just that I've been staying up late to practice for the concert. My eyes are a bit dry and sore because of the cold wind." After Grace got through the nightmare, she was able to lie to Granneuve with ease and without any flaws.
"I'll ask my family doctor to make some medicine for you tonight," said Granneuve with a concerned look on his swollen face.
"Thank you, Mr. Granneuve." Grace smiled and handed the folded note to Granneuve. At the same time, she picked up the glass of red wine with her left hand.
Granneuve thought that his effort had paid off. Although this reserved beauty did not dare to express her affection to him, she still wrote a note to him, "Well, a musician is a romantic."
Grace took a sip of the red wine and watched Granneuve unfolding the note. When Granneuve was about to read the note, she put down the glass slowly and said, "Mr. Granneuve, this is from a gentleman I met in the washroom. He asked me to give it to you."
If he waited until Granneuve found out that the content of the note was not written by him, then the way he passed the note to Granneuve just now would show that he had a close relationship with Mr. Evans. However, if he told Granneuve in advance, Granneuve might not open the note himself, and it was very likely that he would hand it over to the guards, which would violate Mr. Evans's order. Therefore, he had to seize the opportunity to do so. When it came to such matters, Grace felt that women had a natural instinct.
"You didn't write it …" Granneuve asked in surprise. At the same time, he unfolded the note and saw a line of words on it.
Granneuve's voice suddenly stopped, and his facial expression changed a lot. But soon, he calmed down and said with a smile, "Hehe, a guy who is always thinking about the past. He really put in a lot of effort to find you. By the way, Grace, what does he look like? "
As he was talking, he lit a match and burned the note in the ashtray, as if it was not worth mentioning.
What happened in the past? Grace thought in confusion and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Granneuve. I didn't know that my kindness would cause you trouble. Well, he is a black-haired, black-eyed man … "
Grace did not want to tell Granneuve the real look of Mr. Evans. Therefore, when she finished her description, Granneuve only knew that Mr. Evans was a handsome young man with black hair and black eyes.
Granneuve waved his hands casually, "Don't worry about him. It's just a small thing. Grace, let's continue our romantic dinner. "
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations "How romantic …" Grace felt disgusted again, but she was more relaxed and happy than ever. As long as Granneuve read the note, she would be able to live a happy life as long as Mr. Evans didn't expose her.
… …
In a dark corner outside the restaurant, Lucien, who had changed part of his face with the first circle spell Camouflage, was watching Granneuve sending Grace home in a golden, luxuriously decorated pointy boat.
"My friend, come out. Don't be so sneaky," Lucien suddenly turned his eyes away and said to the empty alley in a low voice.
A sneer came out from the wall, and a black figure appeared, "It seems that you are the one who is sneaking around."
It was a middle-aged man who did not cover his face. His face was thin and gloomy, and his brown eyes were cold and merciless. He was not one of Granneuve's guards.
He took a closer look at Lucien's handsome face and nodded, "Are you a sorcerer?"
When Lucien used Camouflage, he did not change the color of his hair and eyes, and he also kept the main features of his face. He made himself look like another person, and at the same time, he tried his best to match the description of Grace. "Of course, if I'm not a sorcerer, why would I ask Mr. Granneuve to arrange a trip to Allyn in the Kingdom of Holm?"
When he was talking, Lucien did not try to cover up the power waves that were about to be released, and those who were experienced in magic could easily tell that it was magic.
"Well, sir, I think you are mistaken about one thing. Granneuve is not the liaison of the Congress of Magic." The middle-aged man smiled, "I don't know where you got this information from, but in fact, I'm one of the liaison of the Congress of Magic in Sturk. Please call me 'Ferryman'."
Then, he added, "Because there are too many sorcerers like you who got the wrong information, we have been following Granneuve for a long time and keeping an eye on his surroundings so that we can find and contact you. Look, didn't I find you? "
Lucien's face was a bit stiff, as if he had been wearing a faint smile all the time. He did not believe the explanation of this' Ferryman 'at all. The note that he gave to Granneuve was not very mysterious. It was just a note from an ordinary sorcerer who wanted to contact him and leave a meeting place. The only special thing was that the note directly called Granneuve as the liaison of the Congress of Magic.
According to Granneuve's cautiousness, Lucien believed that Granneuve's untrustworthy method would not get any response from Granneuve, because Granneuve would not send anyone to the place where the night watchers were meeting. Otherwise, Granneuve would be the most suspicious person, since he had read the note, and Granneuve was the one who met him there. For the Church, Granneuve's identity, status, and the great nobles behind him could be ignored.
However, Lucien's purpose was only to alert Granneuve so that he could send someone to find out who was watching them secretly.
In this way, Lucien would be able to "find" him and make sure that there were no night watchers nearby. Also, even if Lucien was from the Church, as long as Ferryman was not caught and interrogated, Granneuve would not be a big suspect. After all, if it were not for the fact that Lucien was sure that Felipe would not lie about something like this, Lucien might really believe Ferryman's explanation.
"How can I believe that you're the liaison of the Congress of Magic in Sturk?" asked Lucien in a slightly excited and doubtful tone.
Ferryman grinned, "If you don't believe me, then I'll leave. After all, I'm not the one who will lose anything. Think about it, if I'm a night watcher of the Church, why would I trick you, a first circle sorcerer, into going to other places? You know, once the fight starts, the night watchers can do whatever they want, but you're different. You have to worry about your own safety. If you delay any longer, the pastors, bishops, and night watchers in Sturk will come one after another. "
Judging from the magic waves that Lucien deliberately released, Ferryman had a rough idea about Lucien's power.
"Alright, I believe you." Lucien pretended to be helpless.
Ferryman shook his head, "It's useless for you to believe me. The question now is whether I should believe you or not. There are many night watchers in the Church who have betrayed us. "
"Also, two months ago, Mr. Felipe and twenty-two sorcerers tried to sneak past the blockade line, but they were discovered by accident. However, after that, Mr. Felipe and twenty-two sorcerers broke through the blockade line by force, which made the leaders of the Church very angry. Mr. Felipe was not only listed on the 359th place on the Cleansing List, but also cleaned up the underground world of Sturk. Because of the camouflage of some night watchers and the appearance of traitors, we've suffered a great loss. Therefore, we have to be more careful. "
"Felipe has caused me so much trouble after he came back to the Congress of Magic … So my ranking on the Cleansing List is now three hundred and sixtieth? How can I prove that I have nothing to do with the Church?"
If Grace failed to keep the secret and let Granneuve know that he was Lucien Evans, Lucien could directly use Natasha's identity and the ring of Holm Crown prize to gain Granneuve's trust. Although it was easy for people to connect him with Professor, it was only a matter of time before his identity was exposed.
However, it seemed that Grace had kept the secret well, and Lucien would not take the risk.
Ferryman's voice became a bit relaxed, "Either you can find a sorcerer in the Congress to prove it for you, like the one who told you about the connection between the Congress and Sturk."
"After he told me, he left because of something else. I don't even know his name." Lucien could not say that he was Professor or Felipe.
Ferryman was not surprised, and he continued, "Or you can do something that can prove your identity."
"What?" Lucien wondered if it was a sign of loyalty.
Ferryman grinned, "Last month, there was a traitor among us. He forgot that his power as a Knight was stimulated by the potion given by the Congress. Not only did he join the Church, but he also leaked a lot of important secrets, which led to the death of many of our companions. Also, more than thirty magic apprentices who passed the test and had excellent aptitudes died in the Storm Strait because of him when they were about to go to the Congress for a bright future. "
"However, this traitor was awarded the Knight's Medal by the Congress of the City, and he was living a good life. If you can kill him, there's no doubt that you have nothing to do with the Church.
