On the History of the Pope's Death

Half an hour later, Phyllis and Bazel were already sitting in the hotel room, enjoying the carefully cooked food.

After leaving the ocean with Phyllis, he has been eating and sleeping on land all the time. Although the food he eats now is simple and not as precious as the ones in the Duke's mansion, it is already a rare delicacy for Bazel.

Looking out of the window, the sky looks very dark tonight, even the usually bright moon is blocked by dark clouds, the streets under the night appear silent and dark, only one or two lanterns are hung at the door of the shops beside the road, red and yellow. The light shone faintly on the bustling city during the day.

Suddenly, the sound of chaotic footsteps mixed with human voices came from a distance, shattering the silence of the ground.The first thing to appear in front of the street was a tall and thin figure dressed in black as if blending into the night. The man walked quickly, as if there was wind under his feet, and quickly ran to the front.

Behind him in the distance, the fire can be seen faintly, and voices such as "he is ahead" and "follow him quickly" can be heard from time to time.

Ateli turned her head to look at the chasing crowd behind her, raised her hand and pulled the brim of her cloak forward. Although her beautiful face was expressionless, she could vaguely see a trace of unwillingness and stubbornness.

Continuing to bless herself with a primary wind magic spell, Ateli felt the little magic power she had left, and knew that she could not drag on like this any longer, otherwise it would only be a matter of time before she was caught. She looked up and looked around , quickly made a decision.

By the candlelight of the hotel, Phyllis and Bazel sat opposite each other, silently eating the dinner in front of them.The cool night breeze blew in through the half-opened window, 'squeak', the sound of the wooden window opening and closing suddenly sounded in the quiet room, Phyllis quickly stood up from the chair, took a step back vigilantly, and then raised her head. Take a close look at this uninvited guest.

The wide black cloak wrapped the whole person tightly, and under the brim of the hat was a beautiful face, with a rare graceful beauty, but a pair of sharp silver eyes destroyed this point.

This uninvited woman in front of her meant trouble in a certain sense, and Phyllis didn't like trouble, her brows were slightly frowned on her clear face, and it was not wise to do it directly before she understood the depth of the other party. choose.

When Phyllis was looking at Ateli, Ateli was also very surprised that in this seemingly ordinary hotel, she could still meet such an extraordinary person. Now her magic power is close to exhaustion. There is no chance of winning at all. As an excellent thief, being able to bend and stretch is a noble character.

The ice-blue haired girl in front of the two seemed to be the one in charge. Ateli reached out and took off the hat on her head, bowed to Phyllis, and said with a soft smile, "Excuse me!" I am really sorry for your meal, please forgive me! Due to some reasons, I hope you can help me avoid some people's searches, and I will thank you very much later."

At this time, some noisy movements outside could already be heard, presumably those people were chasing after them.Phyllis stared at Ateli with sharp eyes.

Ateli looked straight at Phyllis with the same expression, and the corner of her mouth was still a soft and pleading smile. Even the initial sharpness in her eyes dissipated completely, and became clear and sincere. Pretending is also the basic quality of a thief. , and Ateli has always been the best among thieves.

Footsteps could be heard faintly outside the door, and Atri looked at Felice eagerly with a timely expression.

Phyllis, who hadn't spoken since Ateli came in, took a step forward and sat back on the chair at the dining table, picked up the knife and fork and continued to cut the steak on the plate, and said in a cold voice: "Next time There's no one in the bathroom."

The smile on Ateli's face deepened when she heard this, and she bowed gracefully to Phyllis who was sitting, "Thank you for your kindness."

Then, before the people outside checked in, he gathered the cloak on his body and walked quickly to the bathroom.

Bazel stood aside and looked at Phyllis suspiciously, not understanding why His Royal Highness helped this woman, but since His Highness had already made a decision, he followed suit, sat down gracefully like Phyllis, and continued the unfinished business. dinner.

When a group of people rushed in, what they saw was the two of them having a leisurely meal. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. People who didn't know it might think that they were a couple rather than a master and servant.

The innkeeper stood at the door and said to Phyllis with embarrassment: "Dear sir and madam, these are the guards of Earl Kunel's mansion. They suspect that a thief who stole the Earl's belongings has fled here and wants to I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you."

Phyllis put down the knife and fork, picked up the tablecloth on the table and wiped her mouth, then slowly raised her eyes to glance at the people who were still standing at the door, and said in a flat tone: "You can do whatever you want." The water glass took a sip of water.

Standing at the front with a lighting stone in his hand, the chief guard winked at the deputy beside him, and the deputy led people into the room to search in understanding.

"It's really a special situation, please don't mind." Looking at the way they were dressed, the head guard cautiously stepped forward and said with a smile.

Phyllis didn't talk to her, she just sat on the chair.Bazel stood up at the right time at this time, with a just right smile on his handsome face, alienated and polite, "Sir, we deeply regret what happened to the Earl's Mansion. But as for the thieves, we don't know anything about it." love."

After a pause, Bazel put away the smile on his face, walked over to Phyllis and stood still, leaned over to pick up the empty water glass on the table, and didn't see him doing anything, the water glass was filled instantly Clear water.

He slowly took a sip of the water in the glass, and then raised his eyes to look at the man standing opposite, "Although the dinner was interrupted by everyone, I don't think it will take too long to interrupt our rest time." , Do you think so? Sir." The voice carried an aristocratic chant, but it made people feel kind.

Although there was no arrogance or anything else in his tone, and even a sincere and beautiful tone, the chief guard still felt an implicit threat and warning from it.

He had only seen Bazel's conversation and behavior in the gatherings of the imperial capital, those aristocrats who had accumulated for hundreds of years. Thinking of this, combined with the water magic without singing just now, the head of the guard's expression froze, and then When he spoke, there was already a bit of respect in his tone, "It was our impoliteness to not come in just now, and I would like to express my sincere apologies for that."

At this moment, the deputy who went in to search came out and shook his head slightly at the head of the guard.

"I'm really sorry for the trouble you have caused. Your accommodation and food expenses here are just a little favor from Earl Kunel. Please don't refuse." The chief guard said to Bazel and Phyllis. Said apologetically.

"It's getting late, so we won't disturb the two of you resting, so let's take our leave." After speaking, he led the people back to the door, and finally closed the door politely.

After the outside sound completely disappeared, Phyllis got up and walked to the half-open window, her eyes cast brightly and darkly at the dark night outside, the wind blew her hair, and a few strands of long hair stuck to her cheeks, making people feel uncomfortable. I can't even see her expression clearly.

"Come out."

Ateli crawled out of the steaming tub, her wet short silver hair stuck to her face, and the clothes that were tightly attached to her body made her feel uncomfortable, so she cast a simple wind magic on her whole body , and soon, she was all dry.That black cloak had been put into the interspatial ring by her a long time ago, so now she is dressed in neat blue clothes, which makes her face even more delicate, and she has a heroic spirit that ordinary women don't have on her body.

When those people searched just now, they clearly saw the bathtub, but the strange thing is that those people didn't seem to see her at all. Although the water and steam in the bathtub did play a role in obstructing the line of sight, a big man in clothes It is impossible for a living person to be invisible at all, so it can only be said that the two people outside helped her, and she was able to cast magic under the noses of those people without being noticed. It seems that she has provoked a lot this time The character is gone.

Originally, her plan was to wait for the guards of the Earl's Mansion to sneak away as soon as they left. As for what she wanted to thank, the thief's promise was not credible.But in this situation, the possibility of her wanting to escape in front of those two people is too low. She might still have a try in her heyday. Now that her magic power is exhausted and there are still pursuers outside, forget it.

Hearing the cry from the room outside, she straightened her collar before walking out steadily.

Turning around the screen, she saw the woman standing by the window at a glance, and walked over to stand a step away from her. "Thank you very much for your help! My name is Ateli, and I am a thief. If there is anything I can do in the future, please try to speak up." When the strength of both sides is mysterious, playing tricks is an extremely unwise choice.

Phyllis turned around, her eyes were as clear and charming as icicles in the sun, her eyes only stayed on Ateli's face for a moment, and then moved to Ateli's finger, "How did you get your ring? ?”

Ateli moved her fingers uncomfortably under Phyllis' eyes. On her right index finger was a lady's ring with a simple shape. The ring was composed of a black ring body and small blue diamonds. Li Bai's long and slender index finger showed a different kind of beauty.

"It was given to me by my mother when I was an adult." Ateli's voice was a little astringent, with a hint of imperceptible sadness.Looking directly into Phyllis' eyes, Atri thought she now knew why the woman in front of her was helping her.
