Chapter 70 70: Concealing the scene

Author: I really want to eat meat 597

In order not to waste time, Angie deliberately found a secluded corner, and then managed to dry her hair with the "generous assistance" of the autumn wind. Then she hurried to the top floor of the Shutward Palace with Rabin.

With a nervous and uneasy mood, under Anji's gaze, the elegant carved wooden door was slowly pushed open.

This sunny hall is still the same: stone walls with a light apricot sheen, a burning fireplace, landscape paintings hanging on the walls, plush Persian carpets... all of this under the warm sun is still the same.

So warm.

However, Angie had no time to appreciate this at this time. She was more nervous than any other time she came to this hall, because this report was of great importance, and she and Rabin had to do their best to conceal the "part of the facts" they knew.

Once you fail, you will receive extremely severe "punishment": for example, being chopped several times and then hanging on the city wall, or being dragged for torture, or being blessed to take a bath...

And the initiator of all this, Angie's "unscrupulous boss" - Slade, is sitting behind the white desk at the end of the hall, looking at the two people who were summoned here.

She was still the same, with a faint smile on her face, and the "Ms. Quicksilver" that Angie had seen standing next to her.

Rabin and Angie first walked to the center and saluted her respectfully and said hello at the same time.

At Slade's signal, Rabin began to describe what they had experienced in Grand Village, including the increased concentration of curses, the "internal and external worlds", spirits, giant axemen, bells, psychic attacks, and concentrated...

Fog and mirror and other related information.

Throughout the whole process, Slade just held his chin with the back of his hand, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the ground, seeming a little absent-minded. Even the matter of Angie having two images only made her glance at the girl briefly, and

No mood swings occurred.

This made Angie couldn't help but look at her twice.

However, the next second, Slade seemed to have noticed something and quickly glanced at Anji, only to see the girl standing extremely obediently with her eyes slightly lowered.

At the same time, Rabin has already talked about the first battle between Angie and Hardfer in the "other world".

Slade listened carefully for a while, then sneered and spoke slowly:

"Anji, when did you become so capable that you could even fight with that little bastard?"

Little bastard...

Anji tried hard to restrain her desire to complain, and answered in as respectful a tone as possible, in detail and humbly:

"Lord Slade, you know my strength. The main reason why I was able to fight Hardfer was because he seemed to be in bad shape..."

From the moment Slade spoke, Rabin said nothing. While listening to Angie's explanation, he looked at Slade. On the surface, he still looked calm and composed, but inside he was sweating.

Slade's inquiry came too early.

He just talked about the situation when Angie and Hardfer met for the first time, and before they even started to hide it, it had already turned into this scene. Then wouldn’t it be more difficult to deceive what happened in the church afterwards?

Moreover, under normal circumstances, Slade would not suddenly ask questions when they were reporting to normal, unless there was something of special concern...

As if to echo Rabin's uneasiness, not long after, he saw the corners of Slade's mouth slightly raised and said to Angie:

"Come here."

The girl next to me responded obediently and walked over without hesitation.

At Slade's signal, Angie stood beside her obediently, and then the latter turned his attention to Rabin again:

"Keep talking."

Rabin, who was interrupted by Slade, thought for a moment, then quickly picked up what he had said before and continued his report.

But under his unchanging and indifferent expression, he was already extremely uneasy inside - what did Lord Slade mean by this, and why did he suddenly call Angie over?

And Angie, who was "lucky" to stand next to Slade, had a business-like respectful expression on her face, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, but actually she was muttering crazily in her heart - why did she suddenly change from a regular seat to a VIP special seat?

ah!

The two "accomplices" remained in this state throughout the entire process and told the entire story.

During this time, Slade didn't say a word and remained silent the entire time.

But the faint smile on her face seemed to be even stronger.

The abnormal behavior of their immediate boss set off alarm bells in Rabin and Anji's hearts. They wanted to exchange glances with each other to reassure themselves, but they did not dare to do such a small gesture in front of that person's eyes——

It will definitely be discovered.

This uncomfortable silence lasted for several minutes, and even continued, and there was no movement in the hall where these four people were alone except the slight sound of the fire burning.

Angie's heart sank a little bit. She didn't look at Slade who was on her right, but was thinking about one thing——

Where should she let the other party chop her so that she can recover faster?

It's too avant-garde to wish someone to take a bath. The black water is highly corrosive. If the problem could be solved by just getting a few stabs, she would definitely take the initiative and even feel that she had made some money...

It's just that in her eyes, this "humble request" may be "a slap in the face" to Slade.

Just when Anji's thoughts had spread to "what font should be used to write her epitaph to be more beautiful?", a strange laughter came into her ears.

It was a low and weird sound, as if coming from deep in a person's throat, and the source of the laughter was the lord next to Anji.

After laughing for a long time, Slade gradually regained his composure and spoke slowly without any emotion:

"Rabin, have you known Angie before?"

"Reply to Lord Slade: I don't know him."

Rabin's tone was obviously more cautious than before, which made Angie sympathize with him and at the same time sympathize with herself even more.

At this time, this seemingly warm and harmonious hall has turned into a "nuclear tomb" in the eyes of this girl.

While Anji was crying silently in her heart, she couldn't help but fantasize about something that even she felt was unrealistic:

What if...what if, if I really die, can I go home?

She really misses the warm home of the past, and also misses the delicious food: this cursed continent cannot let her eat Laolao's tomato pot...

Just as these messy thoughts filled her mind, Slade's calm voice came to her ears again:

"Rabin, how many years have passed since you became a knight?"

The middle-aged knight whose name was called thought for a moment and quickly gave the answer: "23 years."

During the question and answer, the two people's tone was so normal, as if they were talking about the weather.

However, Anji's uneasiness expanded rapidly.

She couldn't help but look up at Rabin and found that the old leader's expression was extremely solemn at this moment.

Because, he was seeing a strange smile slowly forming on the corner of Slade's mouth, who was staring at him closely.

"Then, for what reason would you betray me for a little girl you haven't known for a few days?"

I wonder if this chapter will make some readers run away.

Because I'm just trying my best to describe a very serious story in a lighter tone.

The real point of strength will not appear until a long time later...

After all, it’s only 200,000 words now. This story hasn’t really reached its climax yet. It can only be said that it has just begun.

Thank you again for being willing to see this~
