Chapter 685: Send money!
"Believe me, seriously! The city lord and I really don't have that kind of relationship!..."
Until the two girls left, Landon tried to explain that there was no such relationship between him and the city lord.
However, Alyssa's words left Landon speechless.
"If there is no such relationship, then why would the city lord let you become his personal male servant?"
"Um... Sorry, this is my secret..."
After hesitating for a while, Landon suddenly realized that he seemed to have been led into a dead end.
"No, don't apologize, Landon. We are the ones who should feel sorry."
Lanny nodded considerately. If she put herself in Landon's shoes, she could understand the pain he was feeling at the moment.
"No need to say, Brother Landon, I believe there is no relationship between you and the city lord."
"Well, I believe you too, Landon. Also, the teacher hasn't told anyone else about this. Currently, only a few of us know about it, so don't worry."
Alyssa also nodded, not wanting to poke Landon’s pain point again.
"You really believe me!"
…
Finally, after sending the two half-believing and half-doubting women out of the City Lord's Mansion, Landon sighed tiredly.
“Hahahaha! There’s no such relationship…Ahahahahaha!”
In his spiritual space, Dark Crow laughed wildly, almost unable to breathe.
"Lord Dark Raven, my 'heroic' deeds have spread among the resistance army..."
Landon's regretful voice sounded faintly, causing Dark Crow to stop laughing wildly with a guilty conscience.
“Well, that was actually your best choice at the time.
Imagine that you, a person of unknown origin, suddenly became a member of the City Lord's Mansion, and even had regular access to the City Lord. If you don't want to be investigated by someone with ulterior motives, you can only choose the identity of a personal servant..."
"Lord Dark Raven, you and I share the same body. You should be able to feel what happens to me, right?"
In response to Dark Crow's explanation, Landon spoke in a gloomy tone.
"Yeah, my reputation is already ruined anyway, so why not let it really happen? What do you think, Lord Dark Raven?"
"Don't be upset, Random boy!"
Hearing what Lanton said, Dark Crow was shocked. After all, he lived in Lanton's spiritual sea and could see that Lanton seemed to have really had such an idea.
"Don't be impulsive, there is actually a way. Yes! Although the fact that you control the Lord of Hanjing City cannot be exposed, you can add a layer of protection for yourself! For example, the Lord's adjutant.
You control him as well, and then you let the adjutant meet with them and explain that you actually controlled the city lord's adjutant through secret methods and asked him to arrange a disguise for you, rather than you being chosen by the city lord! As for why you didn't say it before, you can say that the city lord was secretly watching you at the time and you couldn't be exposed. Take action now before the misunderstanding spreads."
After much persuasion, Dark Crow finally calmed Landon down.
"That makes sense. Thank you, Lord Dark Crow. I shouldn't have threatened you just now."
After calming down, Landon apologized to Dark Crow, then immediately went to find the city lord and asked him to call his adjutant over.
There is no time to lose. With time, it is not certain how the news will spread.
While Landon was controlling the city lord's adjutant, Anvis was hiding and watching the whole time.
What surprised him a little was that the process was very covert.
Landon simply looked at the adjutant and spoke a few words to him casually. There was no abnormal magical fluctuation during the whole process.
However, under Anvis's observation, the city lord's lieutenant's attitude towards Landon suddenly became extremely respectful.
This situation made Avis frown slightly. With his current strength that was infinitely close to the ninth level, he was unable to figure out how Landon controlled the adjutant. This was very unusual.
Is it the effect of that book?
Recalling the strange book whose whereabouts were unknown at the previous heads of state meeting, Avis thought about it and his left hand with a white glove silently touched the old secret book hanging around his waist.
The dark green heavy book lit up slightly, and a hint of dark green appeared in Avis' eyes.
As the power of the old secret scripture attached itself to him, Avis's perspective suddenly changed.
There was a wisp of illusory light yellow mist rising from the bodies of the Lord of Cold Crystal City and the adjutant, which made Avis instinctively think of the tattered yellow robe on the phantom.
And on Landon's body, a strange yellow mark that looked like the sun was emitting invisible strange fluctuations.
When Avis saw the yellow mark, Landon turned around suddenly and looked in the direction of Avis with vigilance.
Just now, the Yellow Book suddenly gave him a warning that outside the castle window, there was some unknown being spying on him from that direction! "Your Excellency, there seems to be an enemy outside the window!"
Landon suddenly became alert and was ready to enter a different space to hide at any time. At the same time, he signaled the most powerful Lord of Hanjing City to come forward and check.
"I have found nothing, Lord Langton."
However, after the city lord personally went to the location indicated by Landon to check, he gave a reply that there was no problem.
“Disappeared…?”
Landon was also a little confused. In his perception, that strange feeling of being watched only appeared for a moment and then disappeared in a flash.
Carefully arriving at the place where Anvis had just been hiding, Landon used various spells to detect the surrounding environment, and then concluded that there was indeed nothing.
Even the Lord of Hanjing City didn't notice it. Maybe that unknown being really left? Although he was still a little suspicious, Landon could only give up.
In fact, Avis just restored the Old Secret Scripture to its hidden form and changed his observation position.
Landon's own strength was not enough to discover his hiding place. He had just accidentally exposed his whereabouts, seemingly because Landon was particularly sensitive to the power of the Old Secret Scriptures.
But no matter what, Lanton's ability to sense the power of the ancient secret scriptures has aroused Avis' interest even more.
He planned to observe Landon for a while to see what hidden adventures Landon had encountered after such a long absence.
You can even monitor the movements of the rebels at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
Landon was not aware that there was a professional close to the ninth level who was eavesdropping on him all the time. After arranging for the city lord's adjutant to clear up the misunderstanding for him to the two girls, he disguised himself as an ordinary male servant and returned to his own room in the city lord's mansion in a low-key manner.
His room is independent, and inside it there are protective and soundproofing arrays specially set up by the city lord, making it convenient for him to study things that are not convenient to be exposed to light in the room.
After opening the magic circle, Landon let out a breath slowly, carefully opened the "Book of Yellow", and at the same time talked to Dark Crow in his mind.
"Lord Dark Crow, are you sure there is nothing around here spying on me?"
"Don't worry, boy Landon, the unknown being has indeed left!"
Dark Crow's firm voice rang out in Lanton's mind.
"After you got the book, I seem to have acquired some new powers. If there is something spying nearby, it cannot be hidden from my perception!"
After getting Dark Crow's affirmation, Landon felt relieved and began to carefully read the book in his hand.
After the sense of being peeped just now disappeared, he keenly felt that there seemed to be some special changes in "The Book of Yellow Clothes".
Sure enough, when he turned to the central part, Landon was surprised to find that between page 13 and page 14, there was an extra blank page that did not exist!
Looking at this page, Landon couldn't help feeling confused.
At this moment, as if sensing his gaze, a line of dark yellow text suddenly appeared on the blank page.
'who I am?'
"?"
Looking at this scene in amazement, Landon didn't know what to do.
However, he didn't need to do anything. After a moment, the original text faded and a new line of text appeared.
Different from the plain handwriting before, the new words have a weird sense of madness. The dark lines are jumping exaggeratedly, and a large number of sharp lines are twisting and shaking wildly on the paper, as if they are trying to break free from the paper! 'Me! Gloria III!!!'
