Chapter 1415 The Rebels’ Conversation
The next morning.
Before dawn, Anthony took the initiative to find Ronald and Ronald on the rooftop.
Although there is no danger in this operation, there is a lot to do and there will definitely be trouble.
Rather than being in a hurry when the time comes, it is better to leave earlier than scheduled.
This is better than making a mistake while busy.
The three of them jumped off the rooftop and left the hotel without calling for a carriage, and headed towards their destination.
As a friend of Frank, the sorcerer, Anthony was familiar with the topography of the city.
Even though he was moving forward in the darkness, he didn't waste too long. Before the first ray of light appeared in the morning, he took Ronald and the two of them to a manor.
This building is worthy of the status of these magicians.
The spacious courtyard guards the luxurious villa at the rear. Both the gardening details and the architecture itself are impeccable. The excellent aesthetics of various details reflect the elegant taste of the owner.
Anthony came to the front door without knocking.
When the manor's night watchman saw him, he opened the door to let him go and pulled a cotton rope in the gatehouse.
Ronald has extremely good hearing, so when he saw the night watchman's movements, he heard the sound of bells ringing in the building behind him.
Although this notification method has a simple structure.
But it’s better than asking someone to run over and deliver the message.
So just when the three of them were halfway through the courtyard and about to go around the central fountain, several figures appeared at the door of the building.
An old man was followed by four or five young people.
This should be Frank and his students or relatives.
Under the dim light of the sky, Anthony and the other party's eyes met, and the old man immediately came over with vigorous steps, completely unable to see the impact of aging.
"Anthony, I'm so happy to receive your letter last night!"
Anthony hugged the other person gently, with a joking smile on his face:
"I originally thought I came at the wrong time, but now it seems that maybe you You won't mind my interruption."
Frank said loudly without hesitation:
"How is that possible? This is the time when I need you most!"
Immediately afterwards, the owner of the manor invited Anthony into his home, during which he also asked Luo The identities of Nader and Costart.
At this point, Anthony has a strong sense of confidentiality.
He completely followed the previously arranged story and introduced these as his two apprentices, without mentioning a word about the true origins of Ronald and the others.
Ronald also followed the good example and acted like a humble apprentice, without arousing anyone's suspicion.
The group walked into the building and sat down in the lobby.
The two old magicians exchanged a few polite words at the end, then the atmosphere between them suddenly changed, and their eyes and expressions became serious.
"Anthony, it's a little sudden that you came to me." Frank spoke first, raising the doubts in his heart, "I just received the news about the scholarly visit yesterday, but you, an old guy, came with me." "I'm sorry
. Let me be frank, the timing of your appearance is a bit coincidental."
Anthony replied immediately, with no trace of wavering in his tone:
"My appearance is indeed a bit suspicious, but you also know that I am the firmest among us!"
Frank He had no intention of avoiding the topic at all, but looked directly into Anthony's eyes:
"The old guy who was once the most determined is already a member of my 'friendly' visit tomorrow!" "...
"
The words fell, The conversation stops.
Anthony and Frank didn't say a word, and they just looked at each other in the hall.
Under the influence of these two elders, the young people behind Frank even held their breath and did not dare to make any movement.
But Ronald and Costart were a little helpless.
They didn't feel anything, but in order to maintain their disguised identity, they had no choice but to hold their breath.
At the same time, time in the hall seemed to have frozen.
The moment someone broke out in a cold sweat, Anthony suddenly relaxed his tight body and leaned back on the chair.
"Okay, okay, can't I just say it?"
"I actually have something to ask you about when I come here this time. It just happened that you had a problem."
Although the other party gave in first, Frank, who was sitting opposite, also He breathed a sigh of relief.
He took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Anthony, and then returned to his previous welcoming appearance. At the same time, he also looked at Ronald and Costart behind him:
"As far as I know, aren't you looking for an outstanding successor?"
"It seems that your results are good now. Are you here today just for them?"
Anthony nodded first, then shook his head:
"It's related, but it's not related."
"Before explaining your intention, you'd better let these young people leave. We Let's talk alone."
Frank's eyes looked a little strange when he heard this request.
Then he gave an inquiring look and received a confirming look from Anthony.
At this time, he opened his mouth and ordered:
"In that case, you can go out first." "
Anthony and I are here to chat alone. You are not allowed to come in without permission."
The young people around him left immediately, and Ronald and the others did not want to It was too conspicuous, so I followed him out.
"Take good care of your guests and don't be rude!"
With
the command, the door closed.
The young people on the manor side were obviously relieved, and the leading magician among them took the initiative and immediately asked Ronald: "
Sir, let's go to the restaurant first."
"It's still early, and you must not have eaten yet. After breakfast, why not settle it here."
Ronald naturally agreed: "Thank you for the invitation."
The group left the hall and went to the restaurant also located on the first floor, where they enjoyed breakfast under the care of the servants. It's fun.
Of course, this is all superficial.
During this process, Ronald was always paying attention to the movements in the hall, and his hearing was enough to detect the conversations taking place there.
How should I put it?
In the conversation with Frank, Anthony gave a very bold reason.
He showed that he was unwilling to be oppressed anymore and was ready to use a heroic attack to express his position. Frank's side this time is for preliminary preparations.
"Frank, among us, is the one closest to the capital."
"After much thought, you are the only one who has the information that can work. You must help me this time!"
Frank immediately refused:
"You are too impulsive!"
"A magician like you shouldn't do this for me. Such a reason to sacrifice. Believe me, the current depression is just the darkness before dawn. You should not give up here. Think about the inheritance of your school. Do you want it to end here!" "I already have this point
. The best successor." Anthony's voice sounded like he had already made up his mind, so he couldn't listen to the other party's dissuasion at all, "And Frank, don't forget, you will have visitors here in a few hours, and you need me."
" ..."
Frank was silent for a while.
Finally, he responded in a low tone:
"Okay, I promise you."
