Chapter 107: The facade is completely torn off...
"I've always thought of you, Sir Peter, as a composed and mature person. Why would you make such a foolish request in the presence of someone like that?"
On the way back, Beckhill asked coldly, "If I had acted faster just now, it would have been a disaster. At such close range, a level 40 magic class could have easily captured me alive. This guy... was he from the other side?"
"I'm very sorry, Lord Beckhill..." Peter said with a wry smile, "I didn't know that lord would suddenly join the team. Originally, only Knight Elsie was planned to join."
"Why did Eliza attack that female knight? And so many warriors?" Beckhill asked, frowning.
Peter paused for a moment, then said calmly, "I can't reveal anything about that."
"Sir Peter is as stubborn as ever." Beckhill shook his head and chuckled. Although it was for the Duke's mission, his biggest motivation for giving up his promising future in the Beth Empire and choosing to come here as an undercover agent was still the sexy and beautiful Lady Eliza.
"Mr. Bright, since you were in the group, why did you dare to order me to take action?"
"As far as I know, although Mr. Bright holds the title of the Igor family, his actual status is not necessarily high, because in Holy Stone City, he was originally just a lowly corpse collector."
"A corpse collector?" Beckhill rarely showed a look of surprise. How could this be?
The feeling he got just now was that of a magic-based class of level 4,000 or higher. If a mage or warlock of that level were prepared in advance, they could wipe out the elite knight order behind him.
"That was indeed the case before." Peter smiled bitterly: "A corpse collector and a level 10+ fighter, I initially thought that even with the identity of the Igor family, he shouldn't have a high status. I just didn't expect him to be such a deeply hidden mage."
"I see..." Beckhill nodded. "When we get back, we should report the information about this corpse collector to His Majesty the Duke as much as possible."
"yes...
'
"Since you dared to make this request, your information must be very important, right?"
"It's very important!" Peter said quickly. "It will definitely be of help to His Majesty the Duke."
"Hmph, I hope so!"
"Thank you very much, Lord Bright." Elsie was still shaken. She had clearly felt the intense killing intent emanating from him. If Mr. Bright hadn't revealed his identity as a member of the Igor family, and hadn't displayed his powerful mental strength, she and the warriors behind her might have...
But she still couldn't understand where she had offended Peter, that he was so determined to force the other side to kill her in revenge.
A bad feeling arose in her mind.
"You're welcome. I have high hopes for you, Knight Elsie. Otherwise, I wouldn't have saved your child so quickly. Do a good job, and try to be more cautious in the future."
"Thank you, sir..." Elsie thanked him again, but instead of feeling relieved by Bright's words of comfort, her heart grew even colder.
Bright's refusal to speak further convinced her that the situation was not so simple.
She recalled something: a few days earlier, Lady Eliza had suddenly ordered her to organize the warriors of Rose Avenue to try a ritual that was said to enhance their abilities. Although the warriors of Rose Avenue belonged to the city lord, it would still be difficult for Eliza's prestige to make all the warriors keep it a secret and carry it out.
She went door-to-door, reassuring the samurai to accept the ritual. After the ritual, there seemed to be no improvement as Lady Eliza had mentioned, but there were no major problems either, so she didn't pay much attention. But now that she's thinking about it... could it be that she did this because the samurai didn't react?
The number of samurai will not be increased easily. If Lady Eliza needs a group of samurai who can adapt to her rituals, then...
The best way is to replace them!
The thought of this sent chills down Elsie's spine!
"Lord Bright...
"5
"Hmm?" Bright turned around.
Do you need a knight?
Bright remained silent for a moment. He knew that this was a pledge of allegiance from Elsie, and that bringing Elsie under his command would be a very sensitive matter.
Elsie is the security officer of Rose Avenue, which is very close to the noble district. If a rebellion were to break out, this location would be the central hub, making it very suitable.
If Elsie were to come to him, the already tense relationship between him and Eliza might...
"Okay!" Bright agreed to the request almost instantly.
"My lady?" Elsie was taken aback, not expecting the other party to agree so quickly.
Bright smiled bitterly to himself. Since he had taken the initiative to ruin Eliza's plans, their relationship had already been irreparably strained. If they had already gone this far, wouldn't it be crazy not to go all the way?
"You need to be prepared..." Bright looked at the other person seriously: "There will be a lot of pressure, after all, the nominal owner of Holy Stone City is Lady Eliza."
"It's only in name," Elsie said, bowing her head.
Bright looked at the other party and was very satisfied with the other party's attitude. He even had a slight idea. Elsie was not suitable for the Shadow People, but he could try the Elf Seed.
According to the intelligence, the Elf Seed is not as extreme as the Shadow Seed. If someone is not suitable, they will never be able to become a Shadow Citizen. The Elf Seed emphasizes a fusion rate, similar to the Perfect Citizen. Those who can adapt to the Elf Seed possess high-quality Elf bloodlines. Even those who are not Perfect Citizens can become elves through the Elf Seed, although the quality is not very good, but at least there is an improvement.
This is also why the Shadow was so eager to destroy the Elf Seed; this race is too adaptable.
"Let's go."
"Yes, sir..."
'
boom! !
At the city lord's manor, a beautiful crystal glass was smashed to pieces by the out-of-control Eliza.
At this moment, Yu Nu Wu Gua was standing outside with a lot of documents, feeling quite embarrassed. The child, who could already crawl, looked at his mother with curiosity, not understanding why she was so angry.
The Rain Woman most likely knew what was going on; those warriors hadn't passed the Shadow Ritual, so this beautiful and sexy lady planned to eliminate them through Knight Peter.
She suddenly realized that she had chosen a terrible boss. Although it's true that you can't stand firm without being ruthless, this boss was just too ruthless.
"Bright..." Eliza gritted her teeth, but felt powerless. Even though she had become a higher being, she still seemed to have no advantage in front of that person.
First of all... the other party was also won over by the shadow, and the messenger explicitly told him that Mr. Bright was their capable collaborator.
The other party has the name of the Igor family and enjoys the trust of Mirandil. Although I have seized control of Holy Stone City this time, the higher-ups clearly trust Bright more.
Now, because of Peter's failure, the knight on Rose Avenue might also side with the other side.
Eliza took a deep breath. She had been careless, or rather, she had never considered that Bright would actually become her enemy.
"Come in."
Eliza, who has now become a member of the Shadow Clan, possesses a certain level of supernatural perception and clearly senses that the Rain Woman has been outside for a long time.
"Madam..." Rain Woman came in with documents: "Please take a look at the internal affairs regulations and the re-established job list."
Eliza looked at the other person. This scholar was very qualified. She didn't know why Bright's subordinates were all so capable. If only he were willing to work for her.
"How's the housekeeping work going?" Eliza asked directly.
"It's very meaningful," Rain Woman laughed, as if she hadn't seen the shards of glass on the ground at all.
"When I was studying law, I always thought that I would at most become a lawyer. I never thought I would have the opportunity to become an internal affairs assistant in a city. I am very grateful to my wife for her guidance."
"A lawyer?" Eliza looked at the other person silently. She had investigated the other person. A scholar born into a commoner family with no background, if it weren't for her incident and Brett's recommendation, her best fate would have been to become a lawyer.
"It's also thanks to Bright's recommendation that you're here," Eliza said with a smile.
"Yes, thank you very much for Mr. Bright's recommendation. Without him, I would not have been able to meet you, Madam."
Eliza looked at the other person meaningfully upon hearing this. This person did not deliberately avoid mentioning Brett, but emphasized one thing: Brett had only recommended her.
So... was she just recommended by Bright because of her outstanding talent, or was she personally trained by Mr. Bright?
I have no one else available right now, should I try to train this guy?
"I performed a ceremony for those samurai before, which was a very useful thing, but they weren't qualified. Would you be willing to try?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Nu Wugua took a deep breath, but a look of longing appeared on her face.
"Is that kind of ritual...something like transcendence?"
"Yes..." Eliza smiled. Even if the other party was trained by Bright, the extraordinary benefits should be enough to win them over.
"Thank you so much, Madam, for giving me this opportunity!" the Rain Woman assured her. "Your kindness is something I can never repay in my lifetime!"
