"Mariano's dead!" The grey robed masked man, Lang, was in a prayer room of the Maginot Cathedral in the north of Glerune. He looked at Margaret, who was praying in front of the statue of the Goddess of Storms.
Marguerite didn't respond to Langley immediately. She finished her prayer devoutly, then turned to look at Langley and said regretfully, "He's really a good man …"
"Marguerite, I don't have time to watch you put on an act here. Although you went to the Church of Storm in the Almond Street after the search last night and had an alibi, you, me, and Old Victor know very well that Mariano's death is related to you, Marguerite!" Langley said coldly.
"Oh, is that so? Does everyone think so? "Marguerite took off her purple veil and asked Langley calmly.
Langley ignored Marguerite's question and continued coldly, "I really underestimated Cardinal Elena. I can't believe she left such an excellent alchemist in Loen for you. Three hours ago, Lena found the scene of Mariano's death in Loen. It's Kanter Street in the North Borough, a blind spot of the Eye of the Storm's surveillance."
He set up a powerful alchemy trap at the place where Mariano passed by. Mariano, who was in a hurry to go home to see his child, would never have thought that someone would set up such a fatal ambush for him. Mariano's death didn't take more than half a minute, and your people erased all traces of him at the scene within a minute. The whole process didn't take more than two minutes. They were very skilled and professional. Neither Bishop Edward nor Miss Lena will find any evidence at the scene! " Langley stared at Marguerite with a meaningful look under his mask. Then, he uttered his' but '.
"But Marguerite, you may not know this, but Mariano wasn't unprepared to deal with you. When Edward lent him to you, he secretly gave Mariano the tier-2 defensive magic item, Richard's Belt. I'm sure every apprentice would be tempted by a tier-2 defensive magic item, right?"
"Margaret, you know very well that Richard's belt has been secretly installed with a tracking function by the church's alchemist, Master Rodrigo, 30 years ago. Even if it's placed in a space ring, it will still be found by the church. Therefore, Margaret, I suggest that you contact your alchemist now. Perhaps it's not too late …" Langley's voice gradually carried a hint of pride as he spoke.
"Lord Langley, to be honest, I don't know why you would think that I was the one who arranged for Mariano's death. Do I look like someone who would murder a colleague?" Margaery shrugged and asked Langley innocently.
"Don't forget that I was the one who told you that the Skull Association's assassin was a trap and that Mariano would be your executioner!" Langley said impatiently. As soon as Marguerite finished her sentence, Langley immediately said impatiently.
"What does that mean?" A faint smile appeared on Marguerite's beautiful face. Langley looked at her deeply and then walked out of the prayer room. He didn't know why, but Marguerite's smile gave him a bad feeling. It was as if he had fallen into Marguerite's trap.
Marguerite waited until she saw Langley walk out of the Maginot Church through the window and raised her slender eyebrows. She then closed the door of the prayer room completely. In the next second, there was a click. A graceful woman wearing a purple veil walked out of the statue of the Storm Goddess that Marguerite was praying to. It seemed that this woman with an extraordinary temperament had been hiding in the statue all along. She had heard the entire conversation between Langley and Marguerite. As an official Magus, Langley actually didn't notice the existence of this woman in the statue at all.
"I've heard of Richard's belt. Langley is telling the truth. If your collaborator really took Richard's belt, Marguerite, you'd better deal with it now. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome!" The mysterious woman's beautiful eyes under the veil looked at Marguerite and gently exhorted her, "Sister, don't worry.
"Elder sister, don't worry. If it's someone else, I will definitely deal with it even if you don't tell me. But if it's that stinky guy, it doesn't matter. Based on his ability, prudence and vigilance, he will definitely not take Richard's belt!" Marguerite walked to the side of the mysterious woman and held her arm. She was full of confidence as she subconsciously said,
"With his ability?" Hearing Margaret's description, the mysterious woman's interest was piqued. She emphasized the word 'ability' in her voice.
Realizing that she had misspoken, Marguerite blinked her large eyes but didn't say anything.
Seeing that Marguerite didn't want to talk about it, the mysterious woman helplessly shook her head and didn't force Marguerite to talk about "his ability".
Margaret, who had successfully avoided a calamity, gave the mysterious woman a fawning smile before saying seriously, "Sis, what we need to do now is to inform Edward of Langley's secret transfer of Kuluszewski from Blake's Agency to Loen through someone else, right?"
"That's right. Kuluszewski is a secret killer trained by Blake's Agency. Although Edward doesn't have the authority to know anything about him, he's definitely heard of Kuluszewski's reputation. As an advanced Apprentice Wizard, Kuluszewski has successfully carried out many secret missions arranged by Blake's Agency. The number of wizards who died by his hand is at least double digits. If he killed Mariano, then it perfectly explains why there's no evidence."
"Although we don't know why Langley secretly transferred Kuluszewski to Loen, as long as we inform Edward of this, he'll definitely be suspicious. If that old fox were to be told that we didn't kill Mariano, he wouldn't believe it at all. As long as we make him suspicious, we'll be able to extricate ourselves from Mariano's death!" the mysterious woman whom Margret addressed as "Sister" said indifferently.
