Chapter 204: Lanis and El-Melloi II
England, Archizorti's House
"Who... who are you? How can you arrest people at will?"
Amid the sound of chains being tied, the man's body was hung upside down in the lobby of the reception room.
"I am your hidden fan, Mr. Weber Velvet."
Compared to Weber's much more mature voice, the girl who was talking to him, although her tone was playful, still couldn't hide her childish voice.
"But who are you?"
"My name is Lanis El-Melloi Archizorti, a participant in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and also the adopted sister of your mentor Kenneth El-Melloi Archizorti. You should understand what I mean?"
"Hmm!" Weber's pupils shrank fiercely.
With his gradually stable vision, he finally saw the doll-like girl sitting on the super-long high stool.
What caught his eyes was a beautiful short golden hair and a skin as white as a porcelain doll, and the most impressive thing was her eyes that were not in line with her age and contained a strong will - that could see her essence more clearly than the playful smile on the corner of the girl's mouth.
But why did the princess of the Achizoltii family look for a little student like him?
Could it be that it was the Fourth Holy Grail War...
"In terms of blood relationship, I am actually his niece." Seeing that Weber was shocked by her, Lanis nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Of course, I am not interested in revenge, but there are some things that I have always found incredible, so I want to ask you.
With a chuckle, Lanis casually raised her index finger, and the two suited bodyguards behind her obediently stretched out their hands, like manipulating a pendulum clock, pushing Weber to swing back and forth.
"You participated in the magic ceremony held by Fuyuki, the battle for the universal wish machine: the Holy Grail War, right? "
The violent shaking made Weber feel dizzy. Not to mention the strength to lie, even thinking became extremely difficult:
"Yes, that's right."
"My brother was defeated in the battle and was brutally killed."
"Yes, I was defeated afterwards, but luckily I was able to return here."
"Let's not talk about whether you are lucky or not. It has been half a year since the end of the Holy Grail War. So far, you have sent a total of three letters to the Archibald family. In addition to the content of "hoping to continue research on behalf of Teacher Kenneth" and "hoping to become a magician of the El-Melloi family", in the last envelope, you even mentioned "I will buy Kenneth's El-Melloi Classroom"..."
"Are you trying to say that I am a robber who took away Kenneth's inheritance?"
"Huh, how could that be?" Lanis laughed and clapped like a child, "You are the only magician who is willing to continue to follow my brother when the Archibald family is in danger, right? "
The next moment, Lanis stopped smiling, held her chin with both hands, and leaned down to look at Weber: "The reason why I didn't reply to your letter is that the decline of the Archibald family does not need another victim. In order to participate in the Holy Grail War, my brother put a lot of chips on it - but with his death, all efforts became negative. No one will care about this family and school that represents shame. "
"Then why did you find me now?"
The smile on Lanis's face disappeared for a moment, but soon returned to normal: "I am asking you now, right? Why do you want to do this? Why do you continue to be loyal to the declining family? "
Sensing Weber's hesitation, Lanis narrowed her eyes slightly, and her pupils were almost dyed red by the candlelight: "I have the right to know about this, right?"
Without waiting for Weber to answer, the girl casually talked about another topic: "Do you know? Once a person is hung upside down, he or she can't hold out for long (Aleister:?), although there are various opinions on the exact time, in about three hours, the person will not be able to bear the burden of the blood flowing up and down, and the heart will stop beating... Ugh! "
In Weber's reversed vision, the familiar diamond-shaped space opened up, and a young man in a black and gold windbreaker appeared behind Lenis, grabbed her ankles, and lifted her upside down.
Under Newton's gaze, Lenis's skirt began to slide down, and before the absolute domain was almost exposed, the girl hurriedly reached out to hold it down. Because of the same posture, Weber could easily see the panic on the girl's face. The originally majestic little master of the family disappeared, replaced by the softness and helplessness of a cat with its neck grabbed.
"Who is it! No, you are..."
"It's me, the guy who automatically became the acting master of Archibald after Kenneth's death, and the target of your crusade. "
As the boy spoke, he glared at Weber, forcing back the word "Shuoyue" that he was about to blurt out.
"Ugh!" Lanis subconsciously wanted to resist, but was casually thrown away by Shuoyue, and the red flame-colored magic eye immediately lost its target, and even her skirt began to slip again, which frightened her and she quickly grabbed it, "You two, what are you doing, come and help me!"
Obviously, Lanis wanted the two bodyguards around Weber to help, but the two strong men in suits seemed to have not heard the master's order, standing there, indifferent.
"Don't be silly, little guy." The boy told Lanis a desperate fact in a calm tone, "Who do you think exposed your actions?"
"You! You have been putting eyeliner around me from the beginning!" Lenis was furious, and a deep sense of frustration rose in her heart.
The powerful mysterious boy who has the title of acting head of the family, and the girl who is under ten years old because of the transplantation of the magic seal - it is obvious who to choose between the two. If it weren't for the resistance to Shuo Yue being an outsider, I'm afraid not many people in the Archibalud family would recognize this little guy as their leader.
After all, among the magicians who are now under the command of Lenis, how many of them are the secret agents sent by this young man?
"Crash." The chain was untied, and Weber fell to the ground in a panic, grinning and moving his arms.
"Let me tell you, Kenneth's student, why this little lady kidnapped you here." Shuo Yue seemed to not know Weber and said in a strange tone, "It's because my existence."
"In name, I am the acting head of the Archibalud family, but in terms of strength, a certain branch has become Kenneth's burial object. Originally, as long as these magicians became my servants, it would be fine , I will naturally keep El-Melloi’s lord status and prevent other families from invading Archipelud. However, it seems that these idiots have no intention of giving up their monarchy power and status.”
At this point, Weber had already understood the implication of Shuo Yue's words: "In other words, they came to me..."
"Yes, no matter what, this young lady is not old enough to convince the public. Before she becomes an adult, someone must take on the work of a monarch." As he said this, Shuo Yue casually shook the raiment in his hand. Niss, "Besides, there must always be someone who plays against me, so that they can stand in front of the stage legitimately and continue their political games."
Hearing this, Weber subconsciously looked at Lenis, but she looked away.
If it weren't for the pressure from the outside and the powerful enemies within, she wouldn't want to drag Weber into this quagmire.
But - the survival of the family is above all else.
"Of course, I have no interest in you, Weber Velvet, a survivor of the Fourth Holy Grail War." Shuo Yue changed the subject and suddenly said, "Perhaps, if you are allowed to gather the resistance forces together, I can easily Only by crushing it can we eliminate future troubles once and for all.”
Amidst the exclamations, the young man threw the hanging Lenis into Weber's arms, clapped his hands, and walked out of the room leisurely with the two attendants:
"Then, try your best to fight me and please me, Mr. El-Melloi II (pseudo), I look forward to your performance."
The boy left, and Weber, who was knocked to the ground by the force of the impact, looked at each other with Lenis, who was sitting on his belly.
"It seems that we have to form a united front, brother~"
