Chapter 956 Fiona
Just as Thor was wondering whether Byron was taken away because of the red worm, he suddenly noticed a few sneaky people surrounding him outside the inn.
Thor raised his hand to stop Agu from continuing, "Byron's life is not in danger now, but someone else is looking for you. I'll hide first, and you can see if it's the group that took Byron away last time."
The senior is a second-level wizard, and he also has a half-elf in him. It is not easy for ordinary third-level wizards to catch him. There must be other hidden secrets.
Instead of racking your brains to find it bit by bit, it is better to lure the snake out of the hole and then follow it back to the hole.
Agu nodded, sat back at his desk and pretended that Thor had never been there.
He even wrote a few addresses on the blank pages again as he had done before.
When Agu turned around, Thor's figure began to fade, and finally became a thin piece and merged into Agu's shadow.
Agu stopped writing and scratched his nose uncomfortably. He used to be the shadow of others, but now there is something more in his own shadow, or...
It really feels like I'm carrying a heavy burden.
At this moment, he also felt someone approaching. He did not pretend not to know - that would be too fake - but immediately stood up alertly and destroyed the book in his hand.
Exactly the same reaction he had had when he noticed Thor's movements.
It's just that Thor let him find out on purpose.
After destroying what he had written, Agu immediately jumped onto the roof, shrank as small as a mouse, and tried to hide in the shadow of the beam.
Just as he hid himself, the windows and door of the room were broken at the same time, blocking all his escape routes.
Agu could have abandoned the container and transformed back into his consciousness to leave through the wall. But his purpose now was not to escape, so he just hid, and when the others entered the house and began to search, he immediately tried to climb out from above the door without any patience.
The escape was quite smooth and he actually made it straight to the door.
Just as Agu was hesitating whether to make some noise to alert the person entering, a hand suddenly grabbed his body and threw him hard to the floor in the corridor.
Agu was knocked to the ground, feeling a little dizzy. Then a spell to remove the witchcraft disguise fell on him, and he returned to his original form as a container and lay on the ground.
"Humph, it's so hard to catch a first-level wizard. He almost got away."
Then a pink vine appeared from nothing, growing rapidly and tying Agu up.
Agu, who was originally trying to pretend to struggle, turned back inadvertently and stood there in a daze.
"Fiona..." he muttered.
Fiona was not surprised when she heard Agu recognize her. She blew away the black bangs that were blocking her forehead.
"Since you know who I am, you should also know why you were arrested, right?"
But Agu still stared at the woman blankly and couldn't speak.
At this moment, a force gently shook Agu's mind, bringing him back to his senses.
He lowered his head, not daring to look at Fiona again, "I don't know why you arrested me."
Fiona crossed her arms impatiently, "You said you don't know, so you don't know. This won't delay us from catching the criminal. Take him back."
The people who had just broken into the room now rushed out. They surrounded Agu, took him away, and got on a closed carriage when they went out.
In the dark carriage, four people were following Agu at the same time, as if they were afraid that he would transform and escape halfway.
But Agu was honest and had no intention of escaping.
"Do you know the woman named Fiona?" Thor's voice sounded in Agu's consciousness.
"Yes. In fact, I followed Wizard Byron here just to find her."
"She's yours?"
"She is my daughter, I guess."
This answer was somewhat unexpected to Thor. "She shouldn't be the Faceless Man."
Agu is a faceless man. This race is born without a father, a mother, or any relatives, and has no clear way of reproduction. Some people suspect that it is self-split, while others believe that it is the reincarnation of the original body.
People in the wizarding world are also unclear about their origins, and suspect that they may have been brought from other worlds by ancient fifth-level wizards.
In short, in the wizarding world, the faceless race is very rare. Thor has never seen other faceless people in the continents of State and Nefert.
The woman who captured Agu was a very powerful second-level wizard, but her body and soul were very compatible, unlike the Faceless Man.
"Well, I once pretended to be her father and lived for ten years. But I was eventually hunted down. In order not to drag her down, I faked my own death and fled to the State Continent. However, due to my severe injuries, I died near Lord Gorza's wizard tower. Later, he picked me up and made me a library manager."
Is this the relationship? But if the faceless man replaces someone else, he needs to devour the body of the original owner, right?
"You killed Fiona's father?"
"No, no, when I saw Fiona's father, he had already drowned and his body looked like a giant. I had no other suitable choice at the time, so I devoured her father's body."
"Well, after swallowing a corpse like that, I felt uncomfortable for many days. Fortunately, it was thought to be the sequelae of drowning, and I was sent to Fiona."
Thor had already guessed what Agu had been through, "So in order not to reveal your identity, you and Fiona spent ten years together and developed a true father-daughter relationship?"
"...Yes." Agu was a little embarrassed.
"Then why didn't you go find her earlier?" Thor said, "Didn't I promise you freedom a long time ago?"
Like Agu, Herman, and Ann, Sol's feelings towards them are different. They have been through life and death together several times. Even though they were once bound by the diary, they later became true partners. If Agu had told Sol earlier that he had a daughter, Sol would definitely let him go to find her.
"I didn't expect that she would become a wizard. For so many years, I thought she had died."
"Oh, wait for this time... Never mind, we can't plant a flag. If you want to recognize her, just do it directly. There's no need to wait. She's still outside the carriage now."
Even though his daughter was so close, Agu hesitated.
"I, I...I'd better go find Wizard Byron first."
Thor did not try to persuade him any further. Some things should always be figured out by the individual himself.
The carriage sped along, leaving the Olga capital and entering the suburbs while the two were talking.
Fortunately, the carriage arrived at the suburbs near the Observatory, which indirectly helped Thor to travel a distance.
Soon after entering the suburbs, the carriage drove directly into a manor. After entering the manor stable, the entire stable was automatically closed and the ground supporting the carriage began to drop again.
"From Fiona's tone just now, she sounded like an official, but her subsequent actions did not seem like an official style at all. Instead, she seemed like some secret organization."
Thor's hiding in the shadows did not hinder him from observing the outside world.
"But when they were operating inside Olga, they were not investigated or stopped at all."
The carriage entered the underground and moved forward for a distance before finally stopping in a huge underground space.
Fiona, who was sitting in the carriage, was the first to jump down, and asked others to escort Agu down as well.
"Okay, you can talk about it now." She looked at Agu, who was still a little confused, "Can you also see those disgusting red bugs?"
