Joely wasn't asleep yet.

She lay in bed at first, but always tossed and turned.At the back, she simply sat up, held the scroll, and nervously waited for the result.

A few days ago, she offered to stay, and then contacted her cousin Serena who was in the capital, and proposed to let the people lurking outside do it.

What Jolly said at the time was: "I have met Viscount Severn, he is a gentle and moral person. Yes, I think it would be very difficult to intervene between them if the knight is still alive." Quest. On the contrary, if that knight is gone..."

After her analysis, Cousin Serena and Cousin Will obviously had some argument.In the end, they were still persuaded by Qiao Li's words.

"Even without these, the knight commander is also an important role in Severn's leadership. I have inquired, and all the guards here are his students. It is true that they obey the viscount's orders, but to a greater extent, they obey the knights. Commander's order. If the knight commander can be killed, the power of the Severn Land will definitely be weakened. At that time, it will be our chance.

"When I left the capital, my cousin also said that. Compared to 'ask the viscount for forgiveness and continue to buy fabrics', the best result is of course 'kill the viscount and let us control the production of magic fabrics'."

In this way, with the arrival of the "apology", the killer who was only lurking outside started to act.

If there is no accident, there will be a result tonight.

Qiao Li looked at the scroll quietly, waiting for the other party to light up.

After half the night like this, she became more and more restless, and even her breathing became heavy and depressed.

At this moment, a bright color suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Qiao Li's eyes lit up immediately.Her heart was beating extremely fast at this moment, and she almost jumped forward, ready to open the scroll.

But the moment she got close to the scroll, she reacted.

No, not scrolls!

The thing used to communicate with the royal capital was still silent.Therefore, the bright color in her eyes is actually something else——

Qiao Li held her breath, her cheeks stiffened, and she looked a little further away from the scroll.

At that moment just now, a group of flames appeared there.

When this idea appeared, the flame suddenly expanded.Qiao Li thought of the spring flowers blooming in the countryside outside the capital, one by one, continuously.

And now, these continuous sparks surrounded her.

She was trembling all over, and her teeth were chattering.Looking at the brightest place of the flame full of fear and anxiety, at some point, a figure appeared there.

It took Qiao Li a while to react: "Viscount?!"

Viscount Severn, that is, Adrian, walked out of the flames and looked at her indifferently.

Qiao Li's mind was completely muddled.She instinctively knew that something was wrong and that she was in danger, but she was still not sure where the danger came from.Has the assassin's operation failed?But even so, why did the Viscount find him...

For a moment, more joyful thoughts that should not have appeared in her mind.But then, the original joy disappeared invisible.She remembered something, and her gaze fell to the scroll not far away.At this time, the scroll had already fallen into Adrian's hands.

He unfolded it and looked at it carefully.

There are always some differences in the communication scrolls made by different mages, and now this one is indeed different from the one he usually uses.But Adrian quickly found the key and activated it.

Adrian smiled slightly.The laughter fell in Qiao Li's ears, making her tremble subconsciously.

Then, the scroll was handed to her.

Thousands of miles away, the clerical servant of Jonalin's family saw a glowing one among the scrolls.He walked forward quickly and identified the source of the scroll, "Ah, it's Miss Qiao Li!"

I did receive an order related to Ms. Qiao Li tonight, but at the moment, the situation seems to be reversed.

The clerical servant opened Qiao Li's scroll with doubts.After a while, he saw the face of the girl in the distance.

"Call my cousin, please." It seemed very dark there, and it took a moment for the clerk to realize it.However, he didn't think about it, and just confirmed with Qiao Li: "Go to Ms. Serena? If you have anything, I can tell you first."

Qiao Li wanted to answer, don't you see that I'm in danger?But Viscount Severn was looking at her not far away. Under the gaze of the other party, Qiao Li couldn't say a single extra word, so she could only follow the other party's request and continued to say: "I want to meet with you personally. Cousin speaks! Go and call someone here."

The clerk left.Qiao Li knew that it would take about a quarter of an hour from the time the other party found Serena to when Serena actually arrived.

During this time, she was alone with Viscount Severn.

Qiao Li racked her brains and said, "Your Excellency, when did you find out that something was wrong with me?"

Adrian glanced at her, but said nothing.

This kind of "gentle" attitude gave Qiao Li a little courage that she shouldn't have.

Maybe things weren't as bad as she thought.She showed her flaws in other ways-although this was enough to make Qiao Li puzzled-but at least, the killer hadn't been exposed yet.

She swallowed, and continued, "You should have seen the sincerity of the Jonalin family."

Adrian said, "Shall I remind you, what are you going to do with my partner tonight?"

Qiao Li's pupils suddenly shrank.She looked at Adrian in disbelief, and there was only one thought in her mind: he knew!He knows everything!

She didn't dare to provoke people anymore, so she could only shiver and curl herself up in a corner.

Adrian ignored her.He focused on the image in the scroll, the clerical servant left, but the communication between the two parties was still open.He could see the government affairs hall of Jonalin's house, and he could see the scrolls piled up inside.Other than that, there was nothing left.

"You guys are so daring." Probably feeling bored, Adrian spoke again.

The man's voice is still very peaceful, even slow.But Qiao Li would never think that this was a sign of the viscount's good temper, and she even began to regret why she came to this place.

Wouldn't it be good to stay in the capital?How could she think that coming to Savien to learn is an opportunity, so that she can master the production method of magic cloth before Serena, and then sit on the ground and raise the price.

The thoughts in his head were in such a mess that he could no longer even notice the passage of time.Until there was a figure at the other end of the scroll, it was Serena who was upset and hurried over.

The auburn-haired girl asked, "Joely?"

After her words fell, she noticed something, and looked at the figure of the blonde girl on the other side of the scroll.

The other party's fear came into Serena's eyes.After about a few seconds, Serena's tone changed slightly, and she subtly called out, "Viscount?"

The direction of the scroll changed, and a face that Serena had seen countless times in the photo appeared in front of her eyes.

Serena's heart began to sink.She seemed to have swallowed a piece of iron, and her whole body felt icy cold.

Failed again.It failed again.

Serena's cheeks twitched, knowing that the conflict between the two parties could no longer be eased.All I can do now is to extract myself as much as possible.

She took a tenth of a second to finish her thinking, and then asked, "What happened? It's so late."

As he spoke, he paused again, showing a painful expression.

"This is the first time I have the opportunity to speak with the Viscount. There must have been a misunderstanding between us. Qiao Li, did she take our apology well? Before she left, we specifically told her not to worry about it. No matter what, you must apologize to the Viscount."

In a word.What Hunter Green did had nothing to do with Jonalin's family.The assassin who went to the "Fez Knight Commander" was appointed by Qiao Li.

Serena didn't expect the other party to fully believe these words.However, she always tried to pry out the room for conversation.

She put on her most sincere face, and then heard Viscount Severn's sneer.

Serena's heart tightened, but it didn't show on her face.Instead, she immediately turned to her cousin and asked, "Did Qiao Li make you angry? Qiao Li, what did you do?!"

As soon as the words fell, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Serena froze for a moment, then looked away from the corner again, and landed on the face of the man in front of her.

Shocked, speechless.These emotions occupied Serena's mind, making her unable to move for a long time.

She saw the short silver-gray hair grow a little bit, the cheeks with the wrinkles around the eyes became young again, and all the lines disappeared without a trace.The blue in her eyes continued to fade, until it turned into a very familiar and unbelievable pale gold in the back.

It's a face Serena won't forget.Even Qiao Li, who was in the corner, opened her mouth wide at this moment.

"It's you--"

Serena's voice began to tremble.If so, then they were wrong from the beginning, very wrong!

"It's you?!" Qiao Li could barely control her screams.If it is said that before that, she still has a glimmer of hope of surviving.Up to now, the hope was completely shattered, and she was sentenced to death.

"Yes, it's me." Adrian said, "I didn't want it at first...but now, congratulations, I made up my mind."
