Chapter 536 Clean and Neat
Gloria didn't listen to Simon's explanation at all. She snatched the sword from her guard's hand and stabbed Simon directly.
But Lianyi saw that there was a light in Simon's eyes, as if he was glad that he had succeeded, so she subconsciously opened a defensive magic circle for Gloria, and Gray's sword quickly and accurately slashed across the opponent's head, causing the opponent to hold in his hand a silver coin mixed with blood, which dimmed instantly, and rolled directly to the ground as his body collapsed.
The last thing Simon saw was Gloria's angry face and Ripple's emotionless purple eyes.
Gloria was blocked back, but she discovered Simon's purpose. It seemed that the other party wanted to take advantage of her anger and lose her mind and want to stab him to death to control herself and take her away from here.
The silver coin-sized thing in Simon's hand was made by a magician. It was a magic circle that could teleport over short distances. It must have been made by Simon's blood relatives. It could be activated directly with blood without generating magical fluctuations, so that Leia and Raye were unable to detect it in advance.
"Fortunately, my young master reacted quickly, otherwise this guy would have succeeded!"
Laye stepped forward, picked up the silver miniature magic circle, then summoned a ball of water and threw the silver thing in to wash off the blood stains on it. Then he handed the thing directly to Lianyi.
At this time, Lillian had already grabbed her daughter's hand, and was glad that her impulse was stopped in time, while thanking Ripple and Gray for their actions.
Then Gloria's father and brother chased into the cave. When they saw Simon, who was dead beyond death, they were very surprised and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Leia had already removed the camouflage magic circle, but was still wearing Gloria's pink dress, which made Lillian and her husband even more confused.
"Master, we have dealt with everyone outside. I have covered this place with a magic circle. It is safe now and you can stay here temporarily."
"I understand. We'll leave this place to Gloria and her family for now. It's up to them to decide how to deal with it. We've helped as much as we can."
Lian Yi said lightly, then nodded to Leia, who also nodded and took Gray out of the cave.
"Laye, go pick up Raul and come in. We'll rest here for the night. Once Gloria has explained everything clearly, we'll set off tomorrow."
"Yes, Master!"
Raje was ordered to pick up Raul, while Gray searched the robbers' belongings, then cleaned out the bodies, waiting for Raje to come back to deal with them together.
"Lian, what do you think they will do?"
Leia sat by the campfire, warming herself by the fire and asked in a low voice.
The forest was very humid, and after the sun went down, it became chilly, so Lian and Leia sat around the campfire.
“Simon is dead. If the Naxi family doesn’t want to offend anyone, they will pretend nothing happened and continue to head to Paro City.
And according to the custom, Gloria will send letters to Simon from time to time to prove that the two still have feelings for each other. When the engagement is fulfilled, if Simon disappears, it will not be the Naxi family’s problem. "
"Indeed, but aren't they afraid that we might leak the information?"
“We are the ones who took action. Will you leak the news to the Simon family?”
Ripple asked back with a smile.
"No, although the Simon family is not a big family, it is still quite powerful and has produced several powerful paladins. I will not cause trouble for the family."
Leia showed her small white teeth and whispered.
The Nasi family in another cave didn't care about Simon's body at all. They gathered together and listened to Gloria's story of how she asked for help. She was lucky enough to meet Master Lian and Miss Leia. The rest was that she investigated the robbers' lair and found out that Simon was the culprit.
"That's what happened. Obviously the robbers have been eliminated, and Simon also died indirectly at my hands. The engagement cannot be fulfilled, but we can't let Simon's family know that he died at our hands."
At this time, Gloria had completely calmed down and simply expressed her thoughts.
Gloria's father, Rodli, nodded with satisfaction, agreeing with his daughter's opinion.
In fact, he realized something was wrong after they were suddenly captured, because the robbers neither robbed them of their space storage tools nor killed them immediately. Instead, they forced them to contact their daughter and finally took away the mirror from his wife Lillian that could use the family bloodline to transmit messages.
This made him certain that the man must be very familiar with what the Naxi family had done, but like Gloria, he did not expect that it was Simon, the future son-in-law, who did it.
“What Gloria said is right, including Master Lian and Miss Leia who helped us out of this predicament, they should not be involved in this matter.
After we have wiped out all traces here, we will continue to head towards Paro City, and it would be best if we could arrive earlier than expected, proving that we have been very smooth along the way without any accidents."
Rodley said decisively.
"Listen to your father's words. Everyone present should pretend that nothing happened."
Lillian said firmly as she looked at the family members and guards surrounding her.
"Yes! Father, Mother (head of the family, Madam)!"
Everyone responded immediately that they were lucky to escape death, so they must not create another powerful enemy for the family.
"Gloria, you should stick to your previous habits when interacting with Simon. Send messages and gifts when necessary. When we return to Sol City in a while, you should come with me to visit him and ask about Simon's situation. Tell his parents that Simon has been cold to you since you left. This will pave the way for what will happen next."
The older you get, the wiser you are. Lillian has thought of all the follow-up matters.
"Okay, I'll listen to my mother."
Gloria held her mother's hand tightly and responded obediently.
"We still need to think carefully about how to thank Master Lian, Miss Leia, and Pharmacist Raul!"
Seeing that his daughter's complexion looked better, Rodli changed the subject.
After a night's rest, everyone was full of energy, and the two sides officially met after Gloria's introduction.
Rodli praised Lianyi and his group highly, and presented them with a thank-you gift he had prepared, a pill that could conceal one's body and a miniature magic circle. These were the most valuable treasures of their Naxi family, and they could save their lives at critical moments.
We didn't have time to use them because we were suddenly attacked and caught off guard. Also, these things are hard to come by and are very precious.
Lianyi and the others accepted it without any burden, and at the same time reassured Gloria, promising that they would not spread rumors about what happened here.
After Gloria felt relieved, she directly proposed to go with Lianyi and the others, because everyone had the same goal, which was Paro City. Lianyi and the others would naturally not refuse. After the team grew a little bigger, everyone quickened their pace.
But Simon's mother woke up from her sleep, took her husband's hand, and said with a gasp:
"I dreamed Simon's head was chopped off!"
