Magic Underachiever
Chapter 161 Father and Daughter
"Miss..." The magician immediately saluted Anne. He was a territorial subject of the Whitehead family and a personal soldier of the Marquis. Of course he did not dare to disobey the order of the Marquis' daughter.
The soldiers also dispersed, and a tense incident quickly subsided.
Sir Charles saluted Anne and said thanks: "Thank you, Miss Anne. These days of work have made my mind seem to be filled with the sand of the desert of death, so much so that I forgot to tell my assistant what to pay attention to when attending the banquet.
I apologize for our recklessness. "
Anne also returned the gift to Sir Charles and said briefly: "Welcome Sir, and Miss Jessica. I like your adventures very much. Finding the secrets of great civilizations in ancient ruins has been my dream since I was a child. .
I'm looking forward to talking to you alone. I'm really curious about ancient civilizations.
Now I have something important to go to see my father. When the party starts, I will find you. "
Miss Anne was not very familiar with Sir Charles and Jessica. She helped them to rescue them because she knew that if Jessica really wanted to assassinate the Marquis, she would never bring so many weapons. Sir Charles is exploring the Desert of Death for the Empire, and being able to help is a piece of cake for Anne.
Because of the matter of the Azure Cathedral weapons, Anne did not have too many greetings with Sir. She saluted Sir again, and then took Brown into the Governor's Mansion.
Brown nodded politely to Sir and Jessica, while Hannah curtsied and walked past Jessica.
Hannah didn't expect to see Jessica here. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the people around her, she didn't show too much intimacy.
Jessica, who knew she had done something wrong, followed Sir Charles into the Government House honestly. A bat flashed in the air and hung lightly on the wall of the Government House.
In the lobby on the first floor, everything needed for a banquet has been prepared. The lights illuminated the spacious hall, and the guests who had arrived early gathered in small groups to discuss what changes the new Governor Marcellus would bring to Saroyan. The waiters shuttled back and forth carrying trays, and the drinks in the trays were freely available to the guests.
Anne asked Brown Hall to wait and walked upstairs alone along the stairs. There were guards posted on the stairs and in the corridor on the second floor, and no one could sneak up to the upper floor from under their eyes.
Brown casually took two glasses of white wine from the tray in the hands of the waiter passing by. After handing Hannah a glass, he said: "I'm going to find my brother Reed Jennings. He knows that my father definitely did not give My maid, it's hard for me to explain to him what happened to you, and I don't want to involve him in this incident.
Therefore, please wait for me here for a while. I will come back to you after Reed and I have finished talking about family matters. "
Hannah took the glass and said: "I will wait here for you to come back, Mr. Brown."
"It only takes a little while." Brown drank the white wine in the glass in one gulp and walked towards a soldier standing guard in the corner. Reed was the commander of the royal musketeers, and the soldiers must have known where Reed was.
At this time, Anne had arrived on the third floor and met Marquis Whitehead in a study room without lights.
"Father, you are still so careful." There was no light in the room, and the chance of an assassin attacking here from outside was definitely smaller than in a room with lights on. Anne turned around and closed the door, and said to the Marquis who was standing by the window: "I have something to report to you about the weapons in the Azure Cathedral."
Where Marquis Whitehead stood, he could just see the main entrance of the Governor's Palace. In the light, he could clearly see the expressions of every guest who came to the banquet.
Knowing that Anne had come in, the Marquis did not look back. He continued to look at the people outside and said: "The benefits of an assassination are sometimes far greater than launching a war.
When I was in the empire, there were many people who wanted me dead. This time when I came to Marcellus, the number of people who wanted me to die increased again.
If you want to accomplish great things, the first thing you have to do is... stay alive.
Only by living can your enemies sleep peacefully; only by living can you seize opportunities; only by living can you see your enemies perish.
Anne, you are too careless.
He didn't even bring a guard... Brown is just a ninth-level magician. He doesn't know how to fight and has no ability to protect you. You should know your value to me. Your death is a great loss to the family.
What did Eric do? He has not been around you since you arrived in Saroyan. "
"Father, your words, as always, extinguished my excitement to see you." Annie stood by the door and did not move. She said, "You don't need to worry about my safety... No one has touched me these days. Now that you are here, no one will dare to pay attention to me. After all, I am just a tool for you. Killing me will not do them any good."
"Family affection will make you lose your cool and make your enemies take advantage of you. Annie, what I have taught you since childhood is that 'for the sake of the family, anyone can sacrifice'. At the same time, you should also be aware of your role in the family. Tools also have a tool value and should not die in vain...
What do you want to tell me about the weapons in the Azure Cathedral? "
Anne said: "Father... I don't care what you think of me. But if you have any plans in the future, it's best to inform me in advance. Don't think that I didn't do anything in Saroyan...
I am now going to inform you that the weapons in the Azure Cathedral arsenal were bought by the Parliament from the Holy See, which are enough to equip two elite divisions and two infantry divisions. And I have also received news that the Parliament wants to transfer these weapons tonight, and it is estimated that they have already started to act. "
What Anne said is exactly what the Marquis knew, and he replied easily: "Very good... Five days ago you told me that there was a large number of weapons in the Azure Cathedral, and today we can find out the number of these weapons.
You are worthy of my carefully cultivated daughter.
Can you also see that the Parliament is going to transfer these weapons tonight? But there is a price to pay for these weapons... I have arranged everything. All the celebrities in Saroyang are here tonight, including the Speaker of the Parliament, the General of the Azure Corps, the Mayor of Saroyang, the Chief of Police...
Saroyang's eyes are all here, and those hidden mice are about to come out, and I have released the owl. "
Facing the confident Marquis Whitehead, Anne said coldly: "I hope your owl will be more efficient and see more mice clearly.
Because the Azure Cathedral has no weapons to give to the Council tonight, I have sent people to divert sewage from the sewers to flood the Azure Cathedral's arsenal.
The people in the Council will soon notice, and then... the rats will go back to their holes. "
