Words like "good thing", "love at first sight", and so on always give Merlin the feeling that she has met a liar again, but Ieno doesn't look like the kind of person who makes a living by deception...... But then again, nine out of ten deceived him, and the remaining one didn't succeed in cheating, so it wasn't wronged him.

After thinking about it, since Ienno had already come to the door, Merlin decided to listen to what "good things" he had, so that she could deal with it later, anyway, as long as she was not greedy, she would not be deceived. Besides, this kind of businessman who wanders among the aristocracy relies on connections and resources, and may not work "acting", and it is likely that through his every move, he can see through his true purpose.

While scolding, Merlin used her mental power to probe the situation outside the door, and found that there were indeed people around Iano who were difficult to sense clearly. But this man appeared openly as Ieno's assistant and bodyguard, and did not hide.

With her left hand resting on the hilt of her sword, Merlin opened the door as usual.

Ienor was still dressed like a winter bear with gold-rimmed glasses at the ball, and he was followed by a gray-haired old man in a black suit and black bow tie, with cloudy black pupils, unconcealable wrinkles, and a cold feeling that set off the feeling of a gloom. He carried a black suitcase and was a head shorter than Ienno.

Seeing that it was Merlin herself who came to the door, Ienno said with a little confusion: "Miss Merlin, what about your maid? ”

"My maid was sick because of the sudden snowstorm, and I told her to rest early and not to hold on. It's just that I didn't expect that there would be outsiders visiting at such a late hour. Merlin casually explained, looking 'you didn't come at the right time', and his gaze turned, "Who is this?"

Ienor smiled and pointed at the old man, "This is my assistant and bodyguard Philby, he is also a great knight, and he has his own unique understanding of swordsmanship. If Miss Merlin is interested in swordsmanship, you may wish to discuss it. ”

"Where, I just learned a little bit casually and talked about fitness. Merlin smiled faintly.

Hosted by Merlin, Ienno sat down on the soft sofa, while Philby stood quietly behind him, his gaze sharpened.

Merlin lifted the pale cyan porcelain kettle on the glass coffee table and poured a glass of water for herself and Ieno: "Mr. Ieno, I wonder what you are looking for me?"

Ienor's wide hand grasped the white-glazed porcelain teacup like a toy, and he smiled without drinking: "Miss Merlin, you should know about the Stanch family, right?"

"Of course I do. ”

Mei Lin bowed slightly: "Oga City is the territory of the Stanchi family. ”

More than that!

Mamarin Stanch was a member of this family, and Merlin came at her invitation. Mei Lin already knew at this time that the other party didn't know how to come, not only knew that she was coming, but also knew what she looked like, which was her negligence.

Underestimate other people's abilities!

Merlene was vigilant.

Recently, most of her things have been going smoothly, and as a result, her vigilance has been greatly reduced, and she has even let you keep under surveillance, if it weren't for today's failed assassination, she would probably still be on a leisurely vacation.

"I know Miss Merlin is going to Oga City. But to-day I take the liberty of making a request, that Miss Merlin may go anywhere except Oga City, and that we will bear all the costs. ”

"You guys?"

Although Mei Lin had a smile on her face, it made people feel cold: "The Stanch family is the nobility of the kingdom, and there are children of official wizards in the family, what do you want to do?"

"yes, a full-fledged wizard. ”

An unfathomable smile appeared on Ieno's face: "But if she dies, all obstacles will not exist." The rise and fall of a viscount family, the kingdom will not care too much. As long as the title of this viscount does not disappear, it is enough. ”

"I see. ”

Mei Lin nodded slightly, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes: "You covet the title of viscount of the Stanch family, but Ma Marin is your obstacle, and I am the obstacle to eradicate Ma Marin, right?"

"Yes, that's it. ”

Ieno's face was full of smiles, and it seemed that he was about to applaud, "But there are other options, you can cooperate with us, or go to other places, or wait for the results here, it is a good choice for you and me." ”

After a slight groan, Merlin smiled, "It's a difficult decision, but I still have to say I'm sorry, Mr. Ienno, I can't cooperate with you. ”

"What?!, Miss Merlin, you see, you have refused very unwisely...... Ienno said in astonishment.

Merlin said in an aria-esque tone of seriousness, "I am a wizard, I have my commitment and persistence. ”

After speaking, Mei Lin added with a straight face: "I have my pride!"

Ienor stared at Merlin like a madman: "I thought that the kind of thing that was purely chasing glory was only followed by those so-called paladins, but Miss Merlin, you have subverted my mind. ”

Then he stood up and bowed deeply: "I hope Miss Merlin can go further and smoother on this path." ”

Although he tried to show 'admiration', Mei Lin judged from his not-so-superb acting skills, which seemed to be a contradiction.

"I am a cautious man, and if someone assassinates me, he will have to pay many times the price to quench my anger. Merlin had a faint sneer on her face.

No one noticed that a canopy of black silk smoke slipped from her cuffs and silently submerged into Ieno and Philby...... These two people may not be the masterminds, but they are definitely related, and Merlin has never been merciful to her enemies.

"Wizard Merlin, anger can affect a person's judgment, I hope you can make the right judgment after calming down. ”

With that, he then left Merlin's room with Philby with his eyelids half-hanging from him.

A businessman, where would he dare to talk to a second-level wizard like this?

Merlene looked at the door, her eyes getting colder.

"Master, this man is probably not a person who can easily change his mind. Why don't I help you with this?" asked Rosa softly as she pushed the door open from the back room.

"You think you can handle him?"

Merlin glanced at her, "On the surface, only that Philby is with him, but this person has a back hand...... At least in his opinion, being able to deal with a second-level wizard. If you despise him, it will definitely be you who will die. ”

"And, I'm sure he couldn't wait to find me even more. ”
