Volume II: Chapter 198: The Devil's Chessboard
"What do you want to do?" asked Cecily, nervously.
"You people always like to think in the dark, and I don't do anything, just ask around. Since the family brought me here, I always have to manage some contacts on my own, so naturally I need to get to know the big people who are worth clinging to. Thor spoke out the reason.
"Climbing, you ...... too" Cecily's eyes flashed with sarcasm, but remembering Thor's crazy and arrogant personality, she didn't dare to say the word 'worthy' at the end.
"If I'm not worthy, don't worry about it, Miss, just talk to me about the heritage of these families, the development prospects or something. What's the matter, your family doesn't happen to be one of the three elder seats, is it?" Thor tentatively said.
"No, my family only has a seat in the twenty-four seats in parliament and has the right to vote on certain matters. As for the three elder seats you mentioned...... Now only the grandson of the second elder family is still in the academy, and the first two classes of the other families have graduated. Cecily replied.
"Second Elder...... What do the two elders do in the council? Thor pretended to mumble.
"I don't know much about the big families, but I've heard that the second elder seems to be in control of the council's finances, and the third elder is in charge of the Dark Cross. Cecily subconsciously took Thor's words.
The moment he heard the 'Dark Cross', Thor suddenly raised his head and his eyes burst into flames, but they were fleeting.
"I can't play with finances and I'm not good at it, it sounds like the Dark Cross has a head, after all, they are still very famous. It's a pity, if only I could climb to the juniors of the three elder families. Saul sighed with regret.
"The grandson of the three Elder Sestin has finished his studies, but there is another grandson on his daughter's side who is currently in the academy and is also a guy who eats and drinks all day, so maybe you can just do what you like. Cecily said suddenly.
Thor raised his eyebrows, since the three seats of Sestin were in charge of the Dark Cross, Thor believed that he was the biggest driving force behind his encirclement, and it could also be said that Sestin indirectly killed the villagers of Undercurrent Village and Lucia's family.
Sanxi's grandson, that must be killed, if it weren't for the limited strength, Thor would have killed him directly. Now that I have to pull a few burial companions, it would be better if even the miscellaneous hair of the Erxi family could be taken away together.
"Saul Drake, I like you, do you like me?"
"Actually, that's what I ...... I like boys for the first time. ”
"I don't care, even if one day you really curse and die, I will bury you with my own hands as your woman. ”
Lucia's voice was still in his ears, and as long as Thor closed his eyes, he could feel himself lying in Lucia's gradually cold arms at any time, and see rows of tombstones spreading out in the black soil, who was singing ethereal hymns in the silence.
Silently took a deep breath, and then raised his head, Thor became a new student of the Academy of Magic.
"I don't know how the two boys from the Second and Third Seats are related to each other? Do you have any intersections? I mean, for example, if I invite them to have a good time, it would be best if they could be invited together. ”
"But if they have a holiday between them, it's a problem, and it means that I'm going to have to abandon the other one while I'm in line. Thor was there muttering as if analytic and indecisive, seducing Cecily.
Like these flowers in the greenhouse, they haven't experienced too many storms and waves, and they are the age when they like to show their sense of existence.
Sure enough, as soon as Thor's words fell, Cecily took the initiative to interject.
"Those two guys have a good relationship, just flies and carrion, and they usually play together, and you join in and you happen to be a nest of snakes and rats. Cecily said, not forgetting to sneer at the end.
"So when do you think I'm ...... Or in what way would it be more convenient to invite them?" Thor didn't care about Cecily's ridicule, but humbly asked for advice as if he didn't understand the aristocratic circles.
"You should be from some territory in the South, right? To be honest, a small character like you shouldn't be able to get into their eyes, and no one else will communicate with you at all. Oh, there's a ball in two weeks......" Cecily seemed to remember something.
"What's the matter with the ball? what kind of ball?" Thor asked, sensing what might be an opportunity.
"The Ernest family had been competing with the Emilton family for the last seat of the twenty-four, but now that the result was almost decided, the Ernest family was going to hold a big ball to take advantage of the opportunity to build a good relationship with the families. ”
"The two boys from the second or third seat of the dance will definitely be invited, if you can blend in...... , but looking at your current appearance and your identity, it is obviously impossible to receive any invitations. Cecily said as she didn't forget to show her superiority.
Thor frowned and thought about it, he seemed to have a vague impression of what Cecily had revealed. By the way, it was Lorna's little shiitake mushroom who said it at the table in the cave, but it sounds like it's coming to an end now.
"I've vaguely heard about the battle for the last seat, but what is the final result?" asked Thor with a casual expression.
"The Emilton family was originally supported by Lorna's father, and for a while it was said that Lorna seemed to be involved in some kind of mission, and when she returned, she was greeted by the sad news of her father's death. ”
Later, Lorna runs around and claims that her father's death was a dirty plot by the Ernest family, which had caused a lot of trouble some time ago, but eventually it was resolved. Whatever the truth of the matter, even if someone sympathizes with them, it is of little use in aristocratic circles. ”
"Now that there is only one girl left, it is almost difficult for Lorna to support a family, and it can be said that the Emilton family has been completely removed from the aristocratic circle. Cecily's tone was a little embarrassed.
Thor was momentarily gloomy, and soon returned to normal. He remembered the family trivia that Lorna had talked about on her birthday in the cave, and he knew exactly how her father's death would hit her, but it was just another sad story.
Forget it, let's help her take care of it, if it weren't for the delay of a few days by herself, maybe she would be able to come back to see her father for the last time. Thor was silent, adding the name of the Ernest boy to his list of beheadings.
Three goals in a circle, exactly one pot end. A prom, the battlefield and the time seem to have been circled.
Thor was vaguely excited, his plans were still vague when he arrived at the academy this morning. On what occasion and at what time to do it to whom, and to several people, after all, you may only have one chance to make a move.
As long as the killing intent is displayed, whether it is successful or not, with the defense of the main city in all aspects, there should be no possibility of escaping. Or even if he could escape his own exposure, he would not be able to escape the curse of his own festering.
He originally thought that it would be a long and difficult process for him to infiltrate the academy from inquiring about intelligence to determining goals and plans. Unexpectedly, I just caught a small mushroom halfway and asked, and the whole plan suddenly became clear.
"You said the prom...... How am I going to participate?" Thor turned back to the key question.
"You weren't invited, and you still want to participate?" Cecily looked at Thor from head to toe, a chuckle on her face.
"I'm afraid you don't have anything to do with that big ball, right?" Thor probed from the side.
"If you don't care, my family's invitation will not be able to fall, and I will definitely participate. After all, I don't come across a few big balls like this a year, and I even picked out my clothes. Cecily clasped her hands proudly.
"Then it's decided, I'll go with you!" Thor snapped his fingers.
"It's not...... Why are you? Who are you to me, why should I take you there?" Cecily thought was ridiculous.
"When the time comes, you can claim that I am yours...... Oh, yes, suitors. Think about it, isn't it nice to have a suitor who can help you fend off danger at any time, and also reflect your beauty and popularity in the crowd. ”
"I know that my appearance is not outstanding, but I don't want to ask for much, I just want to follow you to meet the world, and I won't interfere with your life in the slightest, how about it?"
"Are you dreaming? You think beautifully! I don't need any suitors, and you deserve to be my suitor just because you look like you? I guess I'll be treated as a joke by others, so you'd better find your own way." Cecily waved her hand disdainfully.
Thor stepped forward in silence and pushed Cecily down on his bed, pressing her down and bowing her head.
"Ahhh......h
After a forced kiss, Thor raised his head and licked his mouth condescendingly.
"Yes, the mouth is quite soft. People like me rarely think about beauty, and I usually do it directly. A little shiitake mushroom like you who has never seen the world should have been your first kiss just now, right? This time I just took away your first kiss, and I don't know what it will take next time. ”
"I admit that I am despicable and dirty, and you can take this as a threat or a warning to me. You are welcome to come and kill me at any time, but if you can't, I will definitely let you taste all the various tricks of the nobles. ”
"If you don't understand the word crazy enough, go back and look it up in the dictionary. Although I am a bit of a bastard, I am still principled in some things, and I promise to stay away from you completely after the matter is over, and I will not intervene in the slightest disturbance of your life. ”
"So now I ask you sincerely, can you agree to my request?" said Thor.
Cecily's face was flushed and trembling on the bed, and there were tears in her eyes, and she didn't know whether it was humiliation or grievance. But at the gaze of Upper Thor, she began to feel a little frightened, and her intuition told her that this man was dangerous.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll take you with me when the time comes. In the end, Cecily could only agree in a whispered and aggrieved manner.
"I'm glad we finally came to an agreement, and you're beautiful in my heart again. Go ahead, go about your own business, and I'll come to you in two weeks' time. ”
Thor threw Cecily out of bed, lay down on her own legs, and waved her hands in a gesture to repel the critters.
