Chapter 2513 Sybil
Angel had met Ms. Mello when he was in the Savage Cave. At that time, Ms. Merlot was just as described by Salum, with every move she made being elegant and classic. Coupled with his neat style of acting, he is like an etiquette teacher in a traditional aristocratic family.
At this time, although Ms. Melo's face was full of sadness, the sense of elegance emanating from deep within her heart had not diminished at all.
"Sibyl...Gloss..." Ms. Merlot was wearing a long black dress and sitting on the edge of the damp stone bed, muttering something softly with a worried expression on her face.
Suddenly, Ms. Merlot's melancholy expression suddenly changed.
He stood up suddenly and looked around suspiciously.
There was nothing around, and the cramped space had an aura of oppression as always.
However, she clearly heard some rustling sounds in the room just now. Outside the prison here, a large magic energy array has been laid. It is impossible for insects and rats to move around. What would that sound be?
Or is it her imagination?
Just when Mello was suspicious, she didn't notice that before she knew it, it was quiet outside the cell, unlike before, with the chattering of other inmates.
It wasn't until Mero inadvertently turned her peripheral vision to the prison door that she was surprised to find that at some point, the outside of the grid window was filled with a faint mist.
Was there fog in the corridor, or was it just her cell that was abnormal?
Mero subconsciously wanted to walk to the door and look out.
However, before taking two steps, Mello paused. Because, she heard movement in the room again, and this time it was very clear, it was the sound of footsteps!
Right behind her!
Melo turned his head slowly and stiffly. As expected, there was an extra person in the cell, leaning against the wall not far away.
It was a man with red hair and golden eyes. Mello was sure? She had never seen him before.
Mero didn't know who the visitor was, or what his purpose was, but could he break through the magic energy array from the outside? Appearing in her cell? He was either a high-level official of the princess's castle with authority, or an official wizard.
No matter which one it is? From Melo's current perspective, it won't be a good thing.
However, no matter what he thought in his heart, on the surface, Melo did not show any timidity at this time. Instead, he stretched out his hand generously, indicating that the other party could sit down.
The only place to sit in the cell? Naturally, it was the stone bed.
"Lady's bed? I don't dare to sit down casually. This is a disrespectful offense." Angel paused: "Even if it is a bed in a cell."
Melo said calmly: "Is it also rude to refuse the lady's invitation?"
Angel smiled and did not talk about this topic any further. He used the so-called etiquette as his opening remarks, but he felt that the sudden appearance might make Ms. Mello feel nervous or uncomfortable. But now it seems that Ms. Melo deserves to be praised by Sarum? Even in the face of emergencies, she still behaves very calmly.
If that's the case? Then there's no harm in just saying it.
Angel: "Is it rude or not? If we really want to discuss it? I think it would be better to change the venue. For example, Old Potter's Tavern?"
Mello's pupils shrank slightly when he heard Old Potter's name. Old Potter has been lurking in Princess Town. Almost no one knew that he was related to the Savage Cave, but the other party suddenly mentioned this, obviously implying something... or threatening something.
"Old Potter's tavern is indeed a good place for conversation. But the place is very remote. How did you think of it?" After speaking, Mello stared at Angel with burning eyes, as if he wanted to learn from the other party's words. What can be seen in the expression.
"Because, I just came out of there not long ago... Well, there I also met a friend who called himself your friend. He rushed into the castle recklessly to save you, but was chased for hundreds of kilometers. Poor. Do you know who I'm talking about?"
Ms. Merlot was silent.
"Abu Lei." Angel said the answer softly.
When Ms. Melo heard Aboulay's name, the calm expression she had maintained finally changed: "...Abulay, are you okay?"
Angel: "It should be pretty good, and I've met a pretty good partner."
After a pause, Angel added, "I almost forgot to introduce myself."
After speaking, Angel's figure elongated slightly, and the expression on his face changed rapidly, and finally returned to his true appearance.
"Ms. Mello, we have met before, if you haven't forgotten."
Melo stared blankly at the person in front of him, and after a long while he stammered: "Pa... Sir Pat?"
Angel smiled slightly: "It seems that Ms. Melo has a very good memory as Salum said."
Angel seemed to be remembering Ms. Kwamelo, but in fact he specifically mentioned Salum to prove his identity. After all, someone who knows about an inconspicuous apprentice like Sarum is someone related to Sarum.
And Angel is Sarum's best friend. How could Mello not know about this relationship as Salum's fellow senior?
"Master Pat, I'm rude." After Mello confirmed the other party's identity, he immediately showed an almost self-restraint etiquette.
"Don't worry, you performed very well." Angel said before that he almost forgot to introduce himself, which was naturally not true. He was also a little curious about this person who was praised and praised by Salum, so he deliberately introduced himself I put the introduction later and did a small test that was not a test. Ms. Melo, on the other hand, behaved as calmly as expected.
"I came here to take you away as entrusted by Abre and Old Potter."
Mero was overjoyed when he heard this, but soon his expression dimmed again: "Sir, please forgive me for overstepping my bounds. I left the barbaric cave this time to accept the task of being a guide. I wonder if your Excellency can guide me? Take the talented person you found with you?"
Angel: "This is not to push for an inch. This is also the purpose of my coming."
Talented people are talents for any wizard organization. It is very likely that Angel will become the backbone of the organization in the future, so how could Angel give up.
After receiving the confirmation, Melo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I still don't know which talents you have recruited, and I still need you to identify them." After a pause, Angel slowly walked towards the door: "Please follow me."
Mero had no doubt that he was there and followed him without hesitation.
The iron door covered with magic energy array seemed to be transparent at this time, completely unable to block their actions. They passed directly through the closed door and appeared in the corridor.
Only then did Mello realize that the fog she had just seen did not fill the corridor, but simply surrounded Angel...and now included her.
This should be some kind of hidden illusion, right? Mello thought to himself.
Angel continued to move forward, and Mello immediately followed.
After arriving in the corridor, the chatter of the inmates finally reached her ears.
Most of these inmates were caught here by the princess using all kinds of dirty tricks just like her. Although Melo didn't talk to them much in the past few days, she felt that they didn't actually have any big sins, and some of them were very friendly to her.
Melo sighed slightly in his heart as he listened to the familiar chatter of his inmates.
She actually wanted Angel to save them too, but she also knew that excessive demands were rude.
Melo could only say secretly in his heart: I hope you can hold on for a few more days. When I get out, I will notify people from your organization to rescue you.
As for those wandering wizards, Mero will also go to the Cross Alliance to inform them, but I don't think anyone will come to save them. After all, most wandering wizards have too much time to take care of themselves and have no time to care about others.
"How are you these days?" Angel asked casually.
"Aside from the high psychological pressure and worries about the few talented people I have recruited, there is nothing else." Mero paused: "The guards on this floor are two gargoyles, and they usually don't come in at all. So, it’s okay to stay here, but no one will come to deliver food.”
Mero is already a peak apprentice, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat for a few months.
"It seems like the fourth floor of the prison is not bad." Angel compared the previous floors of prisons and said.
Mello: "What do you mean, sir, that the people in the prisons on the first three floors are not doing well?"
Angel: "To be precise, there are only two floors of prison. You can see for yourself whether you are living well or not."
He had heard from the fat guard on the second floor that most of the talented people brought by Ms. Mello were on the second floor. Compared with the third and fourth floors, the situation on the second floor is indeed not optimistic.
Melo heard the implication of Angel's words, and his expression became a little gloomy.
All the way to the agency corridor, the poker card was still inserted into the energy pipe, allowing them to move forward unimpeded.
Outside the corridor were the two gargoyles.
Angel's response method was still the same as before. Once Earl was covered, he still easily evaded detection.
After arriving on the third floor.
Their walking speed began to slow down, and Mero needed to go from cell to cell to confirm whether there were any talented people she had recruited.
Fortunately, there are no forks in the prison here, so they can move forward while searching.
Those detained on the third floor are basically extraordinary people, but most of them are first- and second-level apprentices. Although they all look capable, they don't have many characteristics of being tortured.
This made Melo silently look forward to it, hoping that the talented person she brought could do the same.
However, after visiting all three floors, I didn't see a single gifted person.
This shows that all the talented people recruited by Melo are on the second floor.
It's right when you think about it. After all, the people detained on the second floor are basically ordinary people. Although the talented people have talents, they have not yet used them, so they can be regarded as ordinary people.
Bypassing the guards on the third floor, they finally reached the second floor.
After arriving on the second floor, before they started looking for anyone, they heard a noise.
From the conversations in the surrounding prisons, they learned the news that the fat guard on the second floor suddenly collapsed while on patrol. They didn't know if he died suddenly.
After learning the news, Angel immediately contacted Doakes through the psychic tether.
Although the fat guard was caught in his nightmare, Angel never made a move. It was impossible for the fat guard to fall to the ground because of this. Perhaps Doakes was the only one who could do this.
Sure enough, a conclusive reply came from Doakes. He had already come out of the castle and was now in the second-floor prison: "I did it. I gave that dead fat pig a sap."
As for the reason, Dox also said that he came to the prison to save the wandering apprentice, and when he came, he happened to see the fat man blackmailing a wandering apprentice.
And the blackmailed wandering apprentice had been to Dox's Cross Bar, and Dox was a little familiar with him.
Even if he was not a friend, he was a guest of his bar after all. How could Dox allow the fat man to wield a mace against his guest?
So, there was a club behind him.
"Don't worry about that dead fat pig. Anyway, there is no guard, so I can release him later."
After exchanging location information with Dox, they stopped talking. Because Dox was also on the second floor at this time, if he continued to walk down, he would eventually meet him.
"Let's continue..." Angel turned his head and was about to talk to Ms. Melo to continue, but found that Ms. Melo was no longer beside him.
A closer look revealed that Ms. Melo was outside a prison, talking to someone inside.
"It seems that the first gifted person has been found." Angel muttered and walked over.
When he saw the so-called first gifted person, Angel's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
The person in the prison was the black-haired girl with an indifferent expression that Angel noticed before.
At that time, when Angel passed by her cell, he vaguely had a hint of inspiration. Unexpectedly, the other party would be the gifted person recruited by Ms. Melo.
Moreover, from Ms. Melo's caring, Angel saw that the relationship between them should be more than just a guide and a gifted person.
Perhaps it was closer, an acquaintance, or a relative?
After all, this was not the time to talk. Ms. Melo asked a few simple questions and walked towards Angel: "My lord, her name is Sibyl, and she is a gifted person I recruited."
Perhaps seeing the doubt in Angel's eyes, Ms. Melo explained: "I used to be her etiquette teacher for a period of time."
Angel nodded in understanding. It seems that it is really an acquaintance.
Angel didn't think much about it. He waved his hand lightly, and the door of Sibyl's cell opened.
Sybil had heard Ms. Melo's voice before, but she didn't see where she was. It wasn't until the cell door was opened and a mist enveloped her that Sybil saw Ms. Melo.
When Sybil saw Ms. Melo, her expression changed significantly, her indifference faded, and she smiled brightly.
However, when she saw a strange man beside Ms. Melo, Sybil's bright smile was immediately retracted.
"My indifferent lady, your face-changing skills have improved again." Ms. Melo joked, and then introduced Angel's identity.
When Sybil learned that Angel was a formal wizard, she bowed deeply like Ms. Melo before.
From the perspective of etiquette, it is indeed a continuation of the same lineage.
