Chapter 868

In the quiet and secluded cabin, the cold moonlight passes through the window facing the bed. The midsummer moon hanging in the sky is pure and lonely. The posture of looking up also makes people yearn.

The spirit beside him was watching the moon, while the dark haired wizard looked at the spirit without squinting.

He had only a close fitting black narrow robe, his eyes were indifferent, his posture was leisurely, and his smile was natural; It seems that at this moment, there is nothing more important than appreciating the moon.

"Yes, I was sent by the supreme emperor, his majesty Eckhardt II." Lauren looked at him seriously without changing his face: "but how do you know I'm an assassin, not just sent to collect intelligence?"

Since the other party "misunderstood", the black haired wizard doesn't mind letting the other party continue to "misunderstand", especially when this situation is beneficial to himself.

Meade smiled.

"In that case, we might as well take advantage of the annual moonlight and have a good drink." he took a small bottle of Shenlin Castle Mead from the side of his bed and poured one for himself and Loren: "after drinking the wine and enjoying the full moon, we can decide whether to kill or not."

"Oh, I almost forgot. What's your name?"

"Edward." the dark haired wizard did not change his face and his heart did not jump: "he is the loyal bodyguard in front of your majesty."

At the same time, a night watchman who was going to Boye suddenly got cold on his back and sneezed inexplicably

"Your Majesty..." Meade was stunned at first and then smiled: "it seems that you are not an ordinary person. You can serve in front of the supreme emperor of the sky palace."

With that, his eyes glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the "caster" in Loren's left hand.

"What?" Lauren raised his eyebrows in a daze, shocked.

He knows the night watchman?!

Although the night watchman is not a secret at the top of the Empire, it is not well known. Where did he get the information from the Azores who arrived at the imperial coast six months ago?

Can it be said that in the past six months, the power of Azores has penetrated into the Empire

"There's no need to face the enemy like this. I'm just a little curious."

With a gentle smile, Middleton lazily waved his hand to Lauren, took the wine and sipped it. Then he gave a long sigh: "not only did he send a Duke as an envoy, but also a trusted bodyguard around him - I didn't expect that the emperor of the sky palace would pay so much attention to my guests from afar?"

Loren didn't answer anything, thinking about how much the other party knew.

"The imperial mission has just arrived in the morning star forest, and the war dancers in the morning star forest have only arrived today, that is to say, the news of their arrival can be spread all over the fog moon court as soon as tomorrow." Meade continued to talk:

"So if I die here tonight, there is no evidence to prove that it was the hands of the assassins of the Empire - because they are still far away in the morning star forest, maybe... I don't even know whether I exist."

"At that time, before the imperial mission arrives, the elves of the ancient wood forest will quarrel first because of my death. No matter what the result is, it will only be good for the Empire, not bad."

"Your Majesty, the emperor of the heavenly palace... What a good calculation."

Lauren's expression grew more dignified.

"So... Lord Edward, if you want to kill me, tonight is the best chance." putting down the wine, Meade turned to the dark haired Wizard:

"Of course, if his majesty still wants to blame my death on the Duke he sent to negotiate, it will be another matter."

"You must leave enough clues, not too obvious, or the morning star forest will be suspected - it is the only ancient wood forest settlement that has come and gone with the Empire and has a neutral attitude. His majesty will want to win them over."

"Well, let me think carefully. Is there any good way to frame the mission, not to let the elves point their spears at the Empire, and to avoid the morning star forest being suspected... Difficult, some difficult."

Muttering and shaking his head, Meade's face showed a thoughtful expression, as if he was really thinking about how to use his death for the best interests of the Empire.

Lauren has no time to be surprised.

Now he wants to know what else the Azores who "said to have appeared only half a year ago" know about the form, politics and strength of the Empire.

How much did he know and how far did he know?

"From beginning to end, I didn't say I wanted to kill you." after a moment of silence, Loren said coldly, "why do you insist that I will kill you?"

Meade chuckled.

"Sorry... Because in my opinion, only my death is the most profitable for the sakran empire." he slowly looked back and looked at the black haired wizard sincerely and seriously:

"In addition, I really can't imagine the second possibility."

Lauren raised her eyebrows and their eyes met.

"The knife is in my hand. You don't count whether to kill it or not." Loren said the same seriously: "I have to know your purpose first, and then make a decision."

"Yes, but don't expect me not to resist." Meade still smiled: "although I'm so thin, I'm also a warrior and know some fencing."

I'm afraid it's not "know something"... Lauren's eyes fell gently and glanced at the arm of the Azores.

The shape of the body frame, the position of weapons, the appearance and subconscious movement of the palm, and the calluses in the palm... This elf is a standard swordsman, and I'm afraid he's still an expert.

This is not the vanity reaction in him, but more eye-catching than the torch in the night.

"Maybe I can catch you alive. I've always had confidence in myself."

The dark haired wizard whispered.

Meade nodded noncommittally, as if he really thought about it.

"Indeed, this is also a choice - but you have to make sure I won't resist along the way. Secondly, I can't be found by any elf in the fog moon court. Finally, I have to cross the ancient wood forest and most of the Empire safely - well, it's more difficult than the last one."

"What the empire can get is only one chess piece that doesn't know whether it's important to live or not. The chess piece thrown out to attract attention is still the Azores who shoulder a key mission."

"Kill me or catch me, which one do you choose?"

The black haired wizard's face was stiff, and the corners of his mouth resisted the tendency of convulsion.

This guy is really good at mobilizing other people's emotions and ideas - just like some guy named LUT infinite.

No, maybe a little more.

We must turn the situation around and not be led by him.

"No, you know everything, I know too little - it's not fair." Loren took a deep breath. "You have to tell me what you came to the ancient wood forest for and what the Azores sent you for before I can make a decision."

"How do you know if I'm telling the truth... Isn't it better to doubt the truth than to lie?"

"As I said, I always have confidence in myself."

Meade looked back and silently watched Lauren for a long time without saying a word.

Finally, he lowered his head slightly, and a helpless wry smile came out of the corners of his mouth.

"I'm sorry, but I can't say."

"Why not?" Lauren asked, "we'll all know in four days."

Four days later, the mission will officially arrive at the fog moon court; At that time, no matter what he wants to do, he must make a statement to the imperial mission in the next step, so as to unite the elves of the ancient wood forest.

"Because... Because tonight is the annual midsummer month." Meade smiled wistfully: "such a beautiful scenery, do you have to dye it with an unknown red?"

Loren snorted coldly and squinted out of the window; This guy... He's not deliberately delaying time for reinforcements, is he?

After repeatedly confirming that there was no one around, the black haired wizard breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's enough to joke, okay?" Lauren provoked his eyes: "this year's Midsummer Festival was a month ago. Shenlinbao is to the north, and the midsummer month will be a few days later, but it has long passed."

"Now we have a full moon at the end of midsummer and the last round of midsummer."

The air was quiet for an instant.

Meade was surprised at first, then smiled dumbly: "I see - Sir Edward, you have exposed my lies in the beginning. Do you deliberately wait until this time to join me? Powerful, very powerful."

"Not good enough." Lauren looked at him, expressionless. "Not enough to force you to tell the truth."

"I won't tell the truth... Because after listening, your first reaction must be to kill me." Meade shook his head again and whispered, "now, your sword is hesitating and hesitating; it's good for me not to say."

"How can you be so sure that I will kill you after you finish - you told me that once you said I would kill you, shouldn't I kill you now?"

"No, you won't, because you don't know what the truth is; you will hesitate, because maybe not killing me, keeping me or catching me alive is the more correct and profitable choice."

"Besides, if you kill me, you don't know anything... And you want to know."

Meade made a summary with this sentence, slowly picked up the wine, took a sip of Mead and looked up at the moon in the sky.

This guy... Really

I really want to kill him now!

For a moment, as like as two peas of Lothar, who had just left and had been walking to the hotel in the pub, he felt like he was just now facing the spirit of the Asian Spirit.

He is also good at manipulating people's minds, and is also good at bewitching others with words... And he likes to play blackmail and coercion.

He decided that he didn't dare to move him easily, so he deliberately put on the posture of not entering the oil and salt. While consuming with himself, he used a pile of useless nonsense and talked nonsense from his mouth.

"Really not?"

"It's not that you don't say it, you can't say it." Meade smiled as before.

Lauren sighed wearily. He didn't want to spend any more time with this guy... It's bad for him to delay too long.

"Well, since you won't say, I'll go." Lauren got up and walked in the direction of the door.

"Going back so soon?" Meade, sitting alone in the moonlight, looked back in surprise: "even if it's not the midsummer moon, the moonlight tonight is also very beautiful."

"I'm sorry, but I'm really not in the mood to enjoy the moon." the black haired wizard replied coldly, "I'm the loyal bodyguard of your Majesty's front, and I must return to the sky palace as soon as possible to report the situation."

One tired day in Boye, the night watchman who had just fallen asleep woke up from his dream again.

"Return without success, don't you worry that the emperor will punish you?"

"It's not something you have to worry about - unless you promise to tell me now what your purpose is?"

"I'm sorry. Although I'm confident in my swordsmanship, I haven't got the habit of deliberately looking for death."

"Then I have to leave... Don't expect me to give up now. I'll get information by other means."

They looked at each other silently for a long time.

"Your Excellency Edward, you... Are really not an ordinary bodyguard." under the moonlight, Middleton looked back and smiled: "I have a hunch that we will meet again in a short time."

"Maybe."

Well, only this time you're really right... Four days later, I hope you won't be surprised to see me.

Nodding and turning, Loren walked towards the door. His left hand in front of him had pressed another handle of "bright silver" hidden under his clothes, silently calculating the distance between himself and the door and the people behind him.

3、 Two, one

Sudden change!

"Dang -!!"

In the dead room, the gray blue sword light collided with a white light.

In an instant, Meade had got up, still holding the bright red scabbard in his left hand, and the blade pulled out by his right hand and the "bright silver" cleaved vertically in mid air formed an asymmetric cross shape.

The fire splashed!

"What a fast sword."

The angry black haired wizard blurted out with a cold face.

"Not fast enough." Meade smiled as before. The Azor long knife in his right hand held the "bright silver" sword that was constantly splashing and exploding, and his wrist could not see the slightest shiver:

"Otherwise, at that moment, you should be in a different place - I underestimated you, Sir Edward."

Loren's complexion is iron and blue. He can suppress the "bright silver" sword with one hand, which is at least the level of an oath Knight!

"You can't judge whether it's better to kill me or let me go, so you decided to give up temporarily and continue to observe, but..."

The horizontal Azor long knife is like a blooming moonlight, with a faint blue light in the night: "you didn't notice that your death is also good for me."

"The assassin of the Empire assassinated the messenger of the Azores kingdom in the fog moon court and was killed on the spot..."

"Is there a better reason than this to unite the elves of the whole ancient wood forest?"
