Chapter 72: letter
With countless thoughts in his head moving quickly, Lucian pretended to be indifferent, closed the door calmly, and walked to the table.
Putting his left hand in his pocket, he touched the "Avenger of the Snow" ring, and his will immediately became as thick as a regular breakthrough knight.
But Lucien did not radiate this momentum, but was restrained, because judging from the previous feelings, the other party may not know that he is a magician with extraordinary powers, not an ordinary young man.
Looking at this letter, with the help of this kind of magic simulation, Baluchien calmly opened the envelope with his right hand, calmly like ice and snow, afraid of traps, and unfolded the folded letter paper.
This is an ordinary letter paper. The upper rows of words don't look like handwriting. They are neat, beautiful, but rigid, and they seem to be printed.
"Dear Mr. Evans:
We are very honored to have invited Mr. Joel's family. As long as you cooperate with us to do something not difficult to do, they will definitely lead a happy, prosperous and beautiful life. When things come to an end, they will come back safely and intact with your satisfying wealth, which is a fair deal. "
"It really was a kidnapping, but it didn't look like extortion of money." Lucian resisted the urge to shred the letter, and judged softly, while carefully looking for clues left on it. "What the **** is it?"
Suddenly, the original few lines of words on the stationery lightened quickly, then disappeared completely.
However, in the original place, black words emerged one by one from the ground, and soon a few new lines of text appeared.
"Mr. Evans, you are indeed a musical genius who composes such a magnificent piece of music. It really is different from ordinary people. I was very satisfied with the calmness and calmness just now. Once again, this is a fair deal and cooperation, not a kidnapping. Of course , If you betray us, you will never see Mr. Joel's family. "
"This is supernatural power! What's more, I can't blindly expose things that I can magic, only then will I have the chance to rescue Uncle Joel!" As a magic apprentice who has been in contact with undead creatures such as Wraith and Water Ghost, Strange things can't scare Lucian, but make Lucian calmer. He doesn't believe in the so-called transaction and cooperation. I'm very sure this is a kidnapping threat.
In the face of the kidnappers, the most important thing is never to believe that after the request is completed, the kidnappers will return the hostages themselves. The corpse is possible, so Lucian decided not to be held hostage by the kidnappers immediately and began to plan. Things to save.
On the surface, however, the pretend acceptance of the delay was still necessary. Lucian took a deep breath and pretended to be calm, and said quietly, "What do you want me to do? And how can I believe that you will guarantee Joe Uncle El is their safety, maybe they have been killed by them now! "
Proper toughness is also an indispensable means of negotiation to ensure the safety of the hostages.
的 The word on the envelope disappeared again, and a new one appeared:
"The thing we ask for is simple, that is to make the most of your musical talents, create more and more outstanding works, and become a long-term music consultant for Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha. This can be written for you in three months It should not be difficult for a musical genius to produce such a complex and great piece of music, and it is very consistent with your goals and future path. You see, as a partner, we always think about Mr. Evans. "
"And Mr. Joel's family is safe, please rest assured that killing them will not do us any good."
Many thoughts flashed in Lucian's mind: "Their goal is to Princess Natasha, or to obtain some secrets of Lata summer palace by contacting the princess? Or is it a dispute over manipulation of the inheritance of some nobles after the princess's trust? I was yesterday I was only invited by the princess to be a short-term music consultant. Today, someone kidnapped me by kidnapping Uncle Joel's family. With such a speed of response, could any of them be present at the time? Who would it be? "
Lucien, inferring the other's purpose, insisted very strongly: "If you are not sure about the safety of Uncle Joel's family, I will treat them as dead and will not cooperate with you. You can kill me, but you cannot force me I."
The handwriting continues to change:
"Mr. Evans, I think you need to figure out one thing, you are just one of our attempts to achieve our goals, and we have many ways, you are not as important as you think."
Balusian sneered, "You kill me."
After the handwriting faded, it didn't appear for a long time. It seemed that the other side felt a little tricky about Lucian's attitude. Probably they thought that the young and talented poor people like Lucian should not be so tough.
The time slowly passed, and a few minutes of waiting gave Lucien the illusion that the other party had already left, but Lucien gritted his teeth and did not speak. This was a time to compare patience!
Finally, the envelope again highlighted a few lines of black words: "We will show you the 'view' of Mr. Joel's family every so often, starting tomorrow for the first time. However, your attitude just now angered us, tomorrow In addition to the "spectacle" you received, a finger from Mr. Joel, I believe you will recognize it. "
"Asshole," Lucian yelled, gnashing his teeth, "your 'view' must include complete time and date characteristics, or else the 'view' you made with this evil and terrible power is likely to be just the same day And then pretend to give me portions separately on different dates. "
I have accepted Lucien's previous request, and the subsequent additions, the other party only agreed after one minute of consideration: "No problem, now, Mr. Evans, can you cooperate with us?"
"Cooperate with you as soon as I see it tomorrow. Do I need to swear?" Lucian pretended to be ignorant of extraordinary powers, and quietly fisted in his heart. As long as he has the characteristics of time and date, he will have a certain I hope to find out where Uncle Joel's family is being held, after all, they need to be expressed in their surroundings.
A new black font appears: "Mortal people make vows to break, and the vows of the true God will leave marks on you, and will make you distinguished by the church and the alchemy of Lata Hermitage, so as long as you agree Now, we will observe everything you do secretly, do n’t expect to hide from us. Also, do n’t try to report us to Her Royal Highness, believe me, as long as you say it, at most one minute, the Joel family will be completely death."
He writes vaguely, mysteriously, and it makes people frightened. I do n’t know if the last sentence expresses that there are people around them, or there are weird and not easy to find telepathy. These words will be directly known to them.
"What do you need me to do besides becoming a long-term music consultant for Her Royal Highness Princess?" Lucien knows that purpose often reveals motivation, and motivation often allows guessing the enemy.
The typeface became scribbled: "If you hear something interesting in the Ratchascha Palace, and the schedule of the Grand Duke and Princess, we will be happy to know. You just need to write down on this paper with a quill pen. "
"It's cunning, or those goals haven't diminished and you can't judge the real motivation." Lucian nodded, "No problem."
Scribbled black lettering emerged, but it was not as clear as before: "Mr. Evans, you are very wise. If you have anything you need, you can ask us. I hope we can cooperate happily."
The font disappeared completely, never again, and there was only a blank stationery in front of Lucien.
At the same time, under the will of the "Avenger of the Snow" bonus, Lucien slightly felt the disappearance of a wave of supernatural power.
Folding the white paper into the envelope, Lucian looked blankly at the closed wooden window, with anger and hate in her heart: "You must not think of it, I have recognized you, right? Cults! "
From the very beginning when he opened the envelope, Lucian, with the help of the "Avenger of the Snow," became more keen on his mental power, and found that the stationery inside was emitting a small amount of supernatural power. Therefore, while talking with the mystery, Lucian was in Analyze the composition of this supernatural power.
With each disappearance and appearance of text, Lucien's analysis of this supernatural force is more accurate gradually eliminated his most familiar magical power, by comparing Bishop Sarde's feelings to himself, and the past After seeing Benjamin ’s divine magic, Lucian judged it to be a kind of divine magic, but the specific difference is that according to Lucien's current knowledge and insight, it is impossible to judge, even if there is any difference between magic and magic. Lucien did not know why there was such a big difference between the breath and the fluctuations.
在 In Aalto, the most active cult currently is the Horn of Silver, and there should not be a second similar hidden sect under the recent close control of the church.
"It really has a fate with you," Lucian thought, biting his teeth.
"White paper is an apprentice-level divine item. It should have been someone who performed eavesdropping and manipulation in the vicinity. Judging from the duration of his mental power, his strength is a little lower than that of a formal priest, but stronger than a higher-level magic apprentice .With such strength, he can hide anywhere within 100 meters nearby, which is difficult to find. "
Lucian inspected the hut and found that the entrance to his magic laboratory had not changed. He was a little relieved: "In order to rescue Uncle Joel, they must have their own strength in addition to the plan. Otherwise, even if they cooperate with the church and the princess, They won't worry about Uncle Joel's safety either. "
The church and the princess are not uncles who consider the safety of hostages, especially the hostages are still poor.
But from the beginning to the end, Lucian never thought about cooperating with the "horn of silver and white". At the beginning, he made up his mind, looked for opportunities, and directly rescued the Joel family!
This kind of thing, the more the other party wants to 挟, the worse the consequences! Lucien's basic judgment and decisiveness are still there!
I went out again and Lucien went straight to the aristocracy.
