【......】

After discovering that the system's prompt was jammed, William couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief

If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been stabbed in the back by this old thing.

The queen on the side cast a puzzled look, and even pulled the corner of William's clothes covertly, obviously asking why he refused to send the marquis to the door.

The middle-aged man who was rudely rejected looked at him in annoyance, and after looking at William's outfit and finding that it was just an ordinary guard uniform, the mung bean eyes were about to fall out.

He scolded with a gloomy face: "Guard, pay attention to your identity, even if you can climb into the queen's bed, you are not qualified to speak here!"

William looked at the clothes on his body speechlessly, and felt that he should change his uniform, otherwise it would be easy to trigger the traditional routine of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Avril lavigne blushed slightly and didn't speak, but Jessica sneered and sneered:

"What's wrong with the guards? At least the queen is still alive now, and he's done what he had to do. But as a duke, you can't even keep your principality, so why should you speak?"

William looked at her in shock.

Although you are speaking for me, it seems that you have not kept your own territory, and you have injured one thousand enemies and nine hundred and ninety-nine self-losses, and you don't feel pain in your heart when you expose him......

But obviously, it was Kane who hurt a little more.

He scolded angrily after being repeatedly stabbed in his weakness: "Stupid woman, what do you know? As long as the bloodline is not dead, the pattern of the Seven Duchies will never change!"

"Farrell has only risen for a few hundred years, you don't understand the shit! To tell you the truth, the money to buy the territory this time was from the Wealth Church, and it was also sold by your Farrell family on its own initiative, and your younger brother is much smarter than you!"

After successfully poking Jessica's pain point, the middle-aged man glanced at William defiantly.

"And you, a little guard, even if you have a little professional talent?

Even if you can fight thousands of troops, and there is the church and the Holy See above, you have to recognize your position, you are just an ant living in a nest, and you have no idea how terrible the wide river is......"

“......”

Looking at the middle-aged man with a condescending face on the other side, William was a little speechless.

Are you okay looking at the frog at the bottom of the well? When I was jumping on the grave of the goddess of ice and snow, you were still nursing in Nima's arms.

Oh no, you were all killed by Leonard back then, and in that case, let's go with the old rules - that's fine, that's okay for years.

William watched Kane's performance calmly, and even wanted to applaud him, the kind with a tambourine face.

But these are all small things, and the only thing William is worried about now is why Leonard wants to sell the marquisate, and he happens to sell the three of his mission targets......? Is it really a coincidence?

......

"If I want to sell, I'll sell it~"

Leonard pinched the chess piece in his hand, carefully lowered it, and then slammed it back.

"Wait, I'll take another step. ”

The woman across from him frowned, and her white palm slammed down on the table, shaking the chess pieces on the board.

"Don't make a fuss, those three marquisates have been painstakingly managed by the queen for seven or eight years, they are the three most fertile territories in the hands of the royal family, whether it is population, taxes or output, they are the top in most marquises, why should they be sold to Kane's idiot?"

Leonard waved his hand indifferently, staring at the chessboard in front of him while saying impatiently:

"It's very troublesome to explain, and besides, you're not a human being, why are you thinking about all this nonsense? Hurry up and think about how to break through the sixth order, what do you want to do when you are at the sixth order?"

The demon heroine was so angry that she slapped the table, shaking the chess pieces on the chessboard.

However, the strange thing is that no matter how high the chess pieces on it jumped, they eventually fell back into their original squares, as if bound by invisible silk threads, and could not escape their fate no matter what.

"Leonard, that's not what you said when you climbed into your mother's bed!"

The demon heroine's willow eyebrows were upside down, and a pair of breasts of no small size rose and fell angrily.

"You said that although you won't marry me, you can make me the de facto mistress, and when you die, the territory will be mine!

Leonard rubbed his cheeks and muttered unpleasantly, "Women are really troublesome......"

"What did you say?"

"No, no, no~"

Leonard took advantage of the distraction of the demon heroine's mother and stole a chess piece.

"Didn't I concentrate on playing chess and didn't think about it that much, besides, I didn't do anything when I climbed into your bed, I played chess for a day and a night, and you didn't even take off your socks, as if I took advantage of you......"

"Stinky man, do you say it or not? If you don't say it...... I'm going to punish you!"

When the Demon Mistress reached out to pull his neckline with silky eyes, Leonard finally gave up studying the chessboard, pushed her hand away, and explained helplessly:

"Didn't you say it all, it was the territory that the queen had painstakingly managed, and that woman was different from most nobles. ”

Leonard straightened his neckline and quietly threw the stolen pieces into it.

"Those old aristocrats are easy to deal with, provoke the new nobles who have not rotted to the roots, and then raise the price to buy empty food, so that most ordinary people can't survive, and then it is very easy to overthrow them. ”

"That woman is in a lot of trouble, although she is not ruthless enough, she can solve the problem by killing a group of people, but she wants to try to save everyone. But she's smart enough and willing to spend money. ”

Leonard cocked his short legs and said gracefully:

"In order to solve the problem without bloodshed, she even forced the king to sell the palace to stabilize the situation, and the new nobles and commoners remembered her well, believe it or not, as long as I move a little, someone will immediately go to report to her. ”

The Demon Mistress nodded thoughtfully, then frowned again.

"No, you're perfunctory to me!"

She stood up again and grabbed Leonard.

"If others can't do it, you can't do it? Your wrists are ten times stronger than that woman! I don't believe you can't suppress those people. ”

Leonard shook his head helplessly and said: "How can it be so exaggerated, my wrist is only twice as strong as hers, although I am confident that I can level those three territories, the question is what to do with so much effort?"

Those marquises are indeed rich, but the potential has also been tapped, although the flange is not too big, but there are many good places, can't I find something else to do?"

As he said this, he suddenly frowned, picked up a chess piece and tapped it lightly on the board.

"Moreover, I always felt that something was wrong, that there was a big problem with the direction of fate, and the future of those three marquises suddenly became a little blurred. ”

Under the nervous gaze of the Demon Lady, he continued:

"When I took the initiative to investigate fate half a year ago, I found that as long as I moved fast enough, no one could stop me, so I took control of the Farrell family and directly seized the two principalities. ”

Leonard's voice became more and more serious, even with a certain ethereal and illusory temperament.

However, after the emergence of a pseudo-god-level powerhouse in the royal capital, the direction of fate began to change. ”

The Demon Mistress could hear it, and she didn't notice that she was missing a piece on her board again.

"A tributary appeared in the vast river, as if a stone pillar that should have collapsed had been preserved in the tower that was about to collapse. With three fingers and a huge slap hanging over my head now, it was impossible to knock down the tower, no matter how fast I moved. ”

“......”

The demon mistress was confused when she heard this, what are you talking about? Although I can't be considered a human being since I became a witch, can I trouble you to talk about human words......

She sat back upset. Leonard...... The tone of your voice is becoming more and more similar to that old man at the Fortune Church. ”

"Huh, huh?"

Leonard scratched his head a little shyly and smiled gently.

"After all, he's the teacher I recognize, and that's what the fate sequence and prophecy speak like this. By the way, I'm in my twenties and I'm a sixth-order, and you're almost two hundred years old and you're still a fifth-order professional, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Phew!"

The demon mistress smacked him fiercely, and said with disdain on her face:

"You can also be regarded as a sixth-order professional? even a wolf dog can run with you, and your physique is still weak, and you only have a few ...... every time."

"Ahem, ahem!"

Leonard coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, then shook his head helplessly.

"I can't help it, who made the veil of fate so charming, this little goblin is about to drain me. ”

He folded his fingers and counted seriously: "In order to be able to explore my fate at the lowest price, I gave up my strength, got rid of the physique of a professional, and my sense of taste, pain, and smell was also taken away, and even my life span was consumed for only five years......"

Leonard tilted his head sideways and thought about it, then added with a smile: "To be precise, there should be four years and three hundred and sixty-one days left, and the asking price of this little of fate is also very dark, and when I took away my physique, I didn't leave the X ability that a professional should have, which really made me lose a lot of fun, if I had known, I would rather live a few years less......"

"What?"

The demon mistress trembled, then stood up suddenly, and suddenly directly overturned the chessboard, and more than a dozen chess pieces were scattered all over the ground.

"Are you crazy? A sixth-order professional can live for more than two hundred years without an assassination injury! You only have five years left?"

"Alas...... Women are such a nuisance......"

Leonard muttered a thumb and index finger as if he had screwed on an invisible, massive machine.

The chessboard on the ground bounced twice and did not move, and the scattered and bouncing pieces bounced back to the board in a strange arc, in the exact same position as in the previous game.

After bringing the chessboard back to the table, Leonard turned his head sideways and vomited a mouthful of blood, then looked at the stunned witch and mother, and said with great dissatisfaction:

"If you're excited, you're excited, what are you doing with my chessboard? ”

So that's how your life was spent?

The eyes of the demon heroine were about to pop out of her sockets, and she longed for a fireball to be sent away directly, but she finally endured it, panting and shouting angrily:

"There are only five years left! You're dead in five years, what will happen to us dark creatures? Now that most of us are under the noses of the three major churches, if the Farrell family falls, will we still be alive?"

Leonard looked at the chessboard in front of him without raising his head, and replied noncommittally:

"What's the hurry, wouldn't it be good if I broke through to the seventh order, if I can break through all the way to the ninth order, maybe I'll still be alive if you die. ”

The Demon Mistress was so happy, is the seventh order so easy to break through?The arcane continent is so big, there are only a few people every year?

Breaking through the ninth order is even more outrageous, there has been no new ninth-order professional for more than a hundred years, you Leonard is indeed a genius, but you want to break through from the sixth order to the seventh order in five years? Why? With you that all three legs are short?

"What's the daze, hurry up and play chess, I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

At Leonard's urging, the Witch Mother sat back down hatefully, looking down at the chessboard on the table, but her face darkened after just one glance.

"You stole my chess?"

Facing the duties of the Demon Mistress, Leonard, who had always remained calm, suddenly became furious, as if his heart was deeply pierced by this sentence.

He slammed the table and yelled with an extremely angry expression: "You fart! I have lost tens of thousands of games to you, and the number of regrets has not increased to 10,000 times, I will steal your chess?"

The demon heroine trembled with anger, and slapped the table with a backhand slap, and the chess pieces on it were scattered all over the ground.

"Are you kidding me? Forget about stealing other chess pieces, you even steal the king?"
