Golden Summoner

Late at night, in a room of the Consulate General of the Empire of Ceylon in Kolland, the lights were brightly lit and the atmosphere was depressing...

Several summoners in the Consulate General, as well as the Consul General of the Ceylon Empire in Corland, were all in the room, and their expressions were gloomy and heavy.

Baron Meyer was lying on the bed in the room. At this moment, Baron Meyer's body was stiff, his face was pale and twisted, his pants were stained with blood, he was completely dead, and he was dead, and his death was ugly.

The floor and walls in the room were in a mess. There were fragments of vases and furniture everywhere on the floor. There were several large dark holes in the hard walls. The whole room seemed to have been hit by a bomb, not to mention the bed. Half of the mattress was charred and had obvious burn marks.

The faces of several summoners in the consulate showed a hint of exhaustion. After all, when Baron Meyer went crazy before, he had injured several people in the consulate. They could only stop him. If not, a crazy summoner would , can demolish the consulate.

"Before Baron Meyer died, he obviously had hallucinations and insanity. He said that someone was chasing him. We could only temporarily trap him with a water shield..." A summoner from the Consulate General wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He said with lingering fear, "The water shield is not harmful and will not kill him. Before he died, he grabbed his neck. He seemed to have difficulty breathing and had blood in his stool. His heartbeat stopped in just a few minutes..."

"You have tried your best. Baron Meyer's death has nothing to do with you!" Consul General Tridani of the consulate said calmly. Compared with the sharp-edged Baron Meyer, Consul General Tridani seems to be older, more than 50 years old. At the age of 30, he wore a pair of tortoiseshell glasses, his gray hair was meticulously combed, and he had two beards on his lips. He was slightly fat and looked elegant. He was also a nobleman of the Ceylon Empire, and his title was Viscount. At this time, He hadn't even had time to take off the dress the Consul General was wearing for the reception.

After the cocktail party, the Consul General and the special envoy of the Bullard Peninsula Business Alliance left Fort Condra in a carriage. They met privately in the carriage for another hour. Now they returned to the Consulate General. When they returned to the embassy, ​​what the Consul General saw was The body of Baron Meyer.

Several summoners in the Consulate General looked trembling when facing Consul General Tridani. They had just used some spells to stop Baron Meyer from going crazy. If the Consul General blamed them for Baron Meyer's death, what would happen? It's very serious. Baron Meyer is a noble, and they are civilians. The crime of murdering a noble is a very serious accusation in the Ceylon Empire. Once involved, it will be over. Moreover, there is a big family behind Baron Meyer, and they are the ones to offend. Not worth it.

Consul General Tridani's words suddenly made several summoners feel anxious in their stomachs, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"How did Baron Meyer die?" Consul General Tridani stood beside the bed, looking past Baron Meyer's body inch by inch. "Even if he failed in the competition at the reception, he would not have died!" "

"Yes, the competition at the reception was an indirect competition between summoners. It might have damaged Baron Meyer's spirit, but it would not have caused Baron Meyer's death..." An experienced summoner spoke. "Furthermore, Baron Meyer had severe blood in his stool before his death, and also experienced hallucinations, mental confusion, difficulty breathing, and symptoms of heart failure. These are somewhat similar to the symptoms of physical poisoning. I suspect... that he... may have been poisoned by a fatal poison. Or horrible voodoo!"

"Poison, voodoo!" Consul General Tridani suddenly frowned, "Can you confirm how he died?"

"We have just tested it and cannot be sure. If it is poisoning, this kind of poison is not any kind we know. And if it is a terrifying voodoo spell, Baron Meyer himself is also a summoner. If he is poisoned, As for voodoo, he should have known immediately that there would be a violent reaction, so he would not be unaware of it, so it is difficult for us to be sure..." Another summoner said with a serious face.

Consul General Tridani stared at Baron Meyer's body, frowning slightly, and was silent for a while, "If it was poisoning, is it possible that Baron Meyer was poisoned at the drinking party?"

"It's possible. After all, there were many people at the reception..."

Consul General Tridani's eyes flashed with coldness, and he suddenly asked, "Is it possible that Xia Ping'an poisoned me?"

Several summoners from the consulate looked at each other, thought for a moment, and then all shook their heads.

"Baron Meyer did not know or have any contact with Xia Pingan before. Xia Pingan had no motive or opportunity to poison him!" said a summoner.

"And..." a summoner next to him added, "When Baron Meyer challenged Xia Pingan tonight, he was more than fifteen meters away from Xia Pingan. There were people around him. Until Baron Meyer vomited blood and left, there was no one. I had close contact with Xia Pingan, I was next to Baron Meyer at the time, and I didn't feel anything unusual. It is impossible for Xia Pingan to poison Baron Meyer!"

The summoner was telling the truth. Although the word he used was a challenge, in fact, it was a provocation. Before Baron Meyer took the initiative to stir up trouble, the two had little interaction. Xia Pingan had neither the motive nor the intention to poison. After the provocation, Xia Pingan was too far away from Baron Meyer and there was no actual contact between the two. Therefore, it was impossible for Xia Pingan to poison. There were many powerful summoners present at that time. On that occasion If someone dared to perform voodoo magic, it would be impossible for them not to be noticed, and it was even more impossible for Baron Meyer to have no reaction.

There was nothing wrong with the judgment of the summoners at the Ceylon Empire Consulate, but no matter how hard they thought, they couldn't have known that just before Baron Meyer started the trouble and when the first dance of the reception started, Xia Ping'an had already completed Poisoned, Baron Meyer's fate was doomed. Everything can only be said to be an unexpected combination of circumstances.

Consul General Tridani looked at the body of Baron Meyer lying on the bed. He was silent for a while and said to one of the summoners, "Cavour, I will leave the body of Baron Meyer to you. Baron Meyer is on official duty this time." Sacrifice, after you bury the Baron's body, return to the Ceylon Empire and hand over Baron Meyer's body to his family for disposal. If Baron Meyer's family asks about the cause and story of Baron Meyer's death, you will tell the truth. !”

"Yes!" The summoner who just spoke nodded and said, then hesitated, and then asked, "Sir, will the bet between Baron Meyer and Xia Pingan be handed over to Baron Meyer's family?"

"Baron Meyer's challenge to Xia Pingan tonight is not for personal reasons, but because of his status. Baron Meyer is defending the dignity and status of the summoners of the Ceylon Empire. On such an occasion, the summoners of the Ceylon Empire cannot be If Red Roan's new God's Favorite is completely suppressed, the bet will be paid by the consulate!" Consul General Tridani said coldly. When he said this, Consul General Tridani had already thought about this bet. Leave it to the Bullard Peninsula Business Alliance to take responsibility. This little money and those few boundary beads are insignificant to the people of the Bullard Peninsula Business Alliance.

No one said anything about defaulting on the bill, because what happened on that occasion, if the Consulate General defaulted on the bill because of this, then the credibility and reputation of the Ceylon Empire in Brandi Province would be bankrupt, and they would all become a laughing stock, so this This kind of thing must never be allowed to happen.

As for what Baron Meyer's family will do after receiving Baron Meyer's body, as long as it is not done through diplomatic channels, it has nothing to do with the Consulate General.

…

While the Consulate General of the Ceylon Empire in Kolland was handling the body of Baron Meyer, Xia Pingan, who was in Kondra Fort, had been patient and fell asleep quietly.

Although he had a bunch of world beads waiting to be fused, Condra Castle was not the place to fuse the world beads, so Xia Pingan could only wait until he got home tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, the wall next to the fireplace in Xia Pingan's bedroom suddenly slid open silently, revealing a passage. Helena, wearing a long gauze dress and spraying perfume, walked slowly under the hazy moonlight outside the window with an aura of charm after bathing. Come on, this is the "surprise" she plans to give Xia Pingan.

Xia Pingan was still lying on the bed, motionless.

Helena bit her lip. This guy was still pretending to sleep at this time. Helena didn't believe that Xia Pingan didn't know that she had arrived in the room, because she knew that the perception of the God's Blessed One was very sharp, and it was impossible not to know that there was a stranger. Came to the room.

Is this guy still waiting for me to take the initiative to crawl into his bed at this time? hateful!

Just when Helena looked at Xia Pingan lying on the bed with some annoyance, she saw Xia Pingan turned over. He did not get up from the bed, but with a movement of his finger, a light spot like a small insect appeared. It flew out from Xia Pingan's finger and entered Helena's body.

In the blink of an eye, Helena felt endless sleepiness coming over her, and then she heard Xia Pingan's lazy and hazy voice in her ears, "Madam, don't stay up late, it's easy to age. Good night and sweet dreams!"

After hearing these words, Helena felt like she was sleepwalking. She could not open her eyelids under the increasingly heavy sleepiness, and her whole body seemed to be hypnotized, and she returned from the original secret passage. Returning, all the way back to her bedroom, she lay down on the bed, endless sleepiness came over her, and Helena fell into an extremely sweet dream.

…

It had been a long time since Helena had experienced such a sweet sleep. When Helena woke up the next morning, she found that the sunlight outside the window had shone on her bed. Her whole body was warm and indescribably comfortable, just like Water plants floating in the water illuminated by the sun.

Helena was startled and got up quickly, only to find that it was already late. It was almost noon. When she asked her maid, she learned that because she slept well this morning, her maid thought she was too tired last night, so she didn't disturb.

Asking again, Xia Pingan and Mrs. Caitlin had already said goodbye and left after breakfast in the castle this morning.

"That bastard..." Helena cursed in embarrassment. She did that and was rejected. After scolding her, after thinking about it, she couldn't help but laugh again. She was not at all angry in her heart. He is a special man. Because of this, it seems that she has a very accurate vision of people and is worthy of being liked.
