Chapter 16 Assassination

Q group: 249063284

"Mitchell Bachelor." Early the next morning, Evela got rid of the waiter's followers and found the room where the bachelor lived. I think we should talk about it." She opened the door, passed through the paper and books all over the floor, and said to the bachelor standing by the bookshelf.

The other party's eyes were raised from the yellow and rough page of Roderic de Buffon's The Association between the Dead and the Devil. It is an interesting but controversial work - most of the content is completely imaginary, but there is always something worth referring to - Evela has also studied it carefully.

"I'm here. Miss Yvela, what's wrong?

Ivela gestured and hesitated to organize the language. I want to talk to you about..."

Bachelor Mitchell raised his hand to stop her next words. His eyes were hidden behind the thin lenses, and the scattered light covered his emotions. ...If you are worried about the holy warrior and afraid of the ghost, then call the alchemist. I can see that you can't make the decision." He pointed out rudely.

"That's the work that belongs to the Andal Church." She said dryly.

"You understand that nature is the best."

Evela eagerly took two steps forward. That's not what I'm talking about."

"Oh?" Mitchell put down the book and turned to look at her. What do you want to talk about, miss?

He looks casual. Evela knew that he didn't want to talk at all. Maybe it's a big mistake to come to him? She couldn't help thinking that if she had known, she might as well find the chief mage or an officer casually. They should not refuse her. To be precise, except for the king and bachelor, no one here will refuse her.

"I know, Bachelor Mitchell." Evela found it so difficult to bow her head first. She can't know what Li Ou will think when he makes a similar choice, but she is sure that she must be more uncomfortable than her. There have been differences and disputes between us. I thought it was all over."

"That's over." Mitchell said lightly.

"But I can't see it."

"You don't need to see it." Mitchell said, "Because I won't apologize to you. Come on, what can I do for you? Please hurry up. Now that the situation is critical, I don't have so much time to accompany you to recall the past and lament, and I don't know what happy memories we have to recall. So, if you have something to say, just say it."

He has a tone of rejecting people thousands of miles away. It is enough to extinguish all Evela's enthusiasm and trample on her courage and self-esteem. This is not the first time he has treated her like this.

Once, when studying in Desperate Fort, Mitchell, she and three other classmates were the most likely apprentices to be taught by the chief bachelor. The fight between the five of them is very fierce, because there is only one person in the quota. She and Mitchell are the most promising candidates. As a result, their relationship deteriorated sharply. Later, water and fire were incompatible. However, the final result surprised everyone. The chief bachelor chose the most taciturn one. Both she and Mitchell were completely disqualified.

He must still hate me, and Evela can't help thinking, just as I hate him.

"Mitchell Bachelor."

The other party's face showed that he was very impatient. Say. Our time is limited.

She resisted her surging anger. This is simply the stupidest decision she has made. She should have turned her head and left. But what about later? At least the bastard in front of her won't deliberately deceive her. What the hell is going on here?" She tried to make herself colder. Why did Xiufaraz suddenly start a war?

"You have to ask them." Mitchell replied stiffly, "Because I don't know the answer."

"But they are half a continent away from here." Surprise made Evela forget to control the muscles of her face. There are also several countries and autonomous territories in the middle. Xiufaraz also captured them?"

Mitchell looked up at her. You should go to an officer and ask him to show you the sand table in the general's room instead of asking me. He said coldly, "You will know more."

"You are a bachelor and an adviser to the king." She felt that she was going crazy and didn't leave.

"Miss Evela, you forgot a saying." Mitchell told her, "The bachelor is not always right, just as the prophet can't predict everything." Like everyone, including His Majesty, I am confused and know nothing about this matter.

Evela looked at him in silence.

She knew what the other party must know, just like he knew that she would not give up easily.

There was a terrible silence in the room. She almost heard the sound of officers shouting the queue outside the castle. They were rectifying their military posture, practicing the queue, and ready to go to the front line at any time. The clouds of war enveloped her head, as if a huge mountain overwhelmed her breathlessly. Soldiers can fight for the country without any reason, but they can't. It is the stupidest act to ignite war at will. She needs an answer, a guiding light that allows her to see through the fog.

This time, Mitchell lowered his head first. Well, if you want to know the answer... then my answer is 'don't know'." He raised his hand to stop Evela's questioning. If you want to ask why, then I'll tell you directly that no one knows what the crazy group of crazy people are.

Mitchell slapped the platform again and made a "dong" sound. His face was full of anger, which did not seem to be fake. But Yvela couldn't agree with him. Where is the war without warning?

"Whether you believe it or not, this is my answer, the only answer." He seemed to be injured because of Evela's suspicion. Mitchell repeatedly stressed and shouted at her loudly. You can also find someone else. Don't bother me anymore. Please get out of here. I still have work to do." He picked up the book again.

Ebra knew that this was a hint of sending guests.

She sighed helplessly. She should have guessed the result long ago. Why did she run out of boredom? She still didn't know what she wanted to know, but she got angry. Damn, am I an idiot? She thought angrily and tried to suppress the impulse to rudely kick away the tables, chairs and benches on the ground.

"And, Miss Evela," Mitchell suddenly stopped her behind her. The affairs of the court are handled by the people of the court. You don't have to mind your own business. Keep your identity in mind."

Da Damn, she doesn't need him to remind her.

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool." She responded hard. However, when she put her hand on the doorknob, she suddenly thought of a serious problem that she had forgotten in the corner. She suddenly turned around and said, "Mitchell, where's Ainblow?" She couldn't hide the uneasiness and tension on her face. How's it going there now?

His silence is like a wail. With the passage of time, silence makes it more and more difficult for her to contain the sadness in her heart. Answer me, Mitchell!" She couldn't help shouting, "Do you even want to hide this from me?"

The other party sighed. The situation is not what you think, Evela. He organized her tone and let her catch the other party trying to hide it. I can't explain it to you in detail, because my news comes from a peddler.

"There is always a real element in rumors!"

"It's shocking."

She has had enough. Her patience was completely exhausted. Tell me, I know how to judge myself!"

"There is a place you should go." Mitchell still refused to answer directly.

"Where?"

"The place you are most familiar with." He pushed his glasses and said, "There is an injured woman in your companion who should get treatment. If I were you, I would take her to the desperate castle immediately. There was also a guest from afar. He will solve your doubts."

Who? Evela can't figure it out. What kind of person?"

However, Mitchell did not answer her again. He buried his head and swayed in the sea of his books as if Evela didn't exist.

Li Ou opened the door.

A shy maid came over immediately when she heard the sound. Sir?"

"No, I'm fine." He was a little flattered by the sudden preferential treatment. He waved his hand with a smile. Where is the Holy Church of Andal? Can you tell me?"

The maid told him and said that he should be accompanied by some guards. The street is not very peaceful. She reminded me sadly.

"I will dress worse." Li Ou gently thanked her for her kindness and went out alone.

The streets are in a mess.

The pedestrian's face is either full of despair and anxiety about the future, or a complete fanaticism. This place is almost completely destroyed - starting from the inside. The war has been going on for months, and I don't know when it will end. However, the more war and famine there are, the more lively and crowded the churches dedicated to faith.

A large number of refugees gathered in the square in front of the church, encircled the road.

Li Ou struggled to squeeze a road out of the crowd, and even on a cold winter morning, he couldn't help sweating. If I had known, I shouldn't have come. He couldn't help thinking with regret. But he can't ignore it. He has to know how the bishop deals with the holy warrior. Because... there is no doubt that they must have been targeted by the horror knight.

But his persistence was immediately dispelled by his chagrin: he found that he had chosen the wrong time.

The priests put on a relief posture for refugees under the protection of the White Knight, and a pot of batter was brought out. The decadent crowd suddenly came back to life and burst into an irresistible force. They surged forward and hit Leo staggering. He tried his best to keep his balance - if he fell to the ground and thought about it with his toes - he suddenly remembered a scream beside him. A girl covered with a veil and wrapped in a rag gray cloak was hit to the ground. Countless people are pushing her over. Their feet are more fierce than the hooves of bison. They are all crazy.

Li Ou pushed the crowd away. Protect the girl and drag her up.

"Are you all right?" He asked with concern.

The other party nodded to him gratefully, and then her veil moved, as if she had said something. Li Ou came closer, "What are you talking about?" However, what responded to him was a knife that stabbed him in the stomach.
