Chapter 975 It’s great

Chapter 975: It's great

Seeing Fiona's eyes moving quickly, Agu knew that she had wavered.

He breathed a sigh of relief and carefully moved away from the arc of dark light in front of him.

"I still remember every detail of what happened in those ten years. If you don't believe me, you can ask me. We separated when you were fifteen. It's been so long. I can't possibly search your father's soul on the spur of the moment, can I?"

Fiona actually asked a few questions, some of which were already fuzzy in her memory, but Agu was able to recall them quickly every time. It was as if these memories were often replayed in his mind.

"Then why did you leave when I was fifteen?"

"I borrowed your father's identity because I was escaping from being hunted down by others. And I left because the people who were hunting me discovered the identity I borrowed. If I hadn't left, you would have been killed by my enemies."

Fiona frowned as she heard this. She looked at the completely unfamiliar Agu, but she couldn't match him with the father in her memory. "Who is chasing you?"

Agu lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, "If I say I don't know either, do you believe me?"

"Ridiculous!" Fiona shouted immediately.

"Nana." Agu looked at Fiona's face, which was no longer young, and said, "I'm sorry, Daddy couldn't protect you."

Fiona's distrust, which had resurfaced, froze after she heard Agu's apology.

Many, many years had passed since her father left, and Fiona was no longer the helpless 15-year-old girl. After becoming a formal wizard and joining the Stargate Council, she almost forgot the sadness she had felt at the time.

The only thing he hadn't forgotten was his hatred for the Faceless Man.

Because the person who saved her said that her father who raised her with great effort was killed by the faceless man. There are many people in this world who have also lost their loved ones because of the faceless man. The faceless man not only killed their loved ones, but also changed into their faces and enjoyed the originally wonderful lives of others.

After being brainwashed over and over again, Fiona completely hated the Faceless Men. Even if it meant destroying her own future, she was determined to make the Faceless Men disappear from the world.

But who would have thought that her father, who had died many years ago, was also a faceless man.

Fiona's previous cognition was strongly impacted, and her chest kept heaving like a fish being dragged ashore.

"Fiona..." Agu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Fiona.

"Don't talk anymore. I want to be alone."

Although she showed resistance, Fiona still untied all the dark arcs that trapped Agu.

"You go first. I need to think about it carefully. When I figure it out, I will come to you."

Agu also knew that it would be difficult to make Fiona believe him immediately, as her current performance was already beyond Agu's expectations.

"Okay." He naturally couldn't bear to see Fiona in pain, so after the arc disappeared, he took a step back and said, "Then I'll go back first. If you want to find me, you can always come to Wizard Byron's residence to find me."

Fiona lowered her head and did not respond to Agu.

Agu looked at Fiona deeply, then turned around helplessly and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, the door of the warehouse that had just been closed by the witchcraft circle was suddenly opened from the outside.

The light shone in, causing Agu to shrink his eyes subconsciously.

Then he saw a familiar face walk in.

Murrich's two telescope-like eyes almost shrank to the extreme. He first looked at Fiona who was silent, then turned to smile at Agu.

"Are you going back?"

Agu didn't have a good impression of Muric, but considering that the other party was also a third-level wizard, he nodded respectfully.

"Yes, Lord Murridge."

"Well, I heard that Fiona asked you to come here to learn about the Faceless Man. This child is sometimes impulsive. She didn't hurt you, did she?"

"No. We have cleared up the misunderstanding. Please don't make things difficult for her."

Muric smiled, but his eyes were still narrowed, which made Agu feel uncomfortable.

"Of course not. Fiona is a very important wizard to me."

These words sounded a little strange, and Agu instantly began to worry like an old father, and instinctively didn't want Murich and Fiona to be alone together.

"Then, Lord Murridge, can you take me away from here?"

"Of course!" Muritch said without any airs, "But I have a few questions for you."

When he heard Muritch say "but", Agu became nervous and said, "Ask it."

"Do you know the whereabouts of other faceless men?"

Agu narrowed his eyes. Murich meant that he still wanted to find traces of other faceless men for experiments.

Asking such a question in front of him without any reservation obviously did not take Agu seriously.

Despite his disgust, in order not to affect Fiona, Agu answered honestly, "After I left Iskeper, I was trapped in Lord Gorza's wizard tower until I left with Lord Thor in recent years. So I really don't know the whereabouts of any faceless man."

Muric sighed in disappointment, "It seems that you really don't know. By the way, do you have any way to help us find the faceless man of Iskeper?"

Agu still shook his head. Not to mention that he didn't know, even if he knew, how could he tell the person in front of him? "Well, it seems that there is really no other way." Muric walked towards Agu.

Agu immediately became alert and was ready to send a signal to Thor at any time.

However, Muric calmly walked around Agu and came to Fiona. "You heard it too. Now we really have no other way to get a new faceless man."

Fiona then raised her head and said to Murridge with a guilty look on her face: "I'm sorry, sir. I will think of other ways as soon as possible."

She did not mention Agu again, fearing that Muric would simply decide to search Agu's soul.

Although she was still struggling with the sudden news, she instinctively began to protect Agu.

"I have a backup plan." Murridge's voice was flat, and he didn't seem to be angry about Fiona's defeat.

Fiona was about to ask what it was when she suddenly felt her vision suddenly rise a lot.

She seemed to be lifted up by tacit understanding, but she could no longer feel the existence of her body.

She was vaguely aware of something, but she did not lower her head to look for her body. Instead, she used up her last bit of strength, raised her eyelids, and glanced at Agu who was standing at the door.

Agu was facing away from the light, so he couldn't see clearly.

But this vague outline suddenly reminded Fiona of memories that she had forgotten for decades.

The vague outline was so familiar, just like when she was fifteen and her father left home to work, and she had just woken up from her sleep, rubbing her eyes and saying goodbye to her father in a daze.

At that time, she seemed to see such a figure.

Fiona saw her father running towards her, as if he was about to say...

"Nana, Daddy isn't going to work today."

That’s great.

"ah!!!!!"

Agu rushed up like crazy.

At this moment, he had forgotten that he was just a second-level soul body, and he also forgot that the man opposite him was a third-level wizard who was highly valued by Alick.

He just wanted to kill Muric in front of him.

He's going to kill him!!!
