"Of course, Your Excellency the Courier, we can have a good talk. ”

Duke couldn't believe the current situation, so he smiled and made a welcome gesture to signal Minis to sit down, and called the guards to prepare new cups and tea for him.

It's not just a bigwig-level figure like the cardinal represented behind Minnes, but the ring he took out just now is an existence that Duke can't resist.

The Cardinal's exclusive emblem is such a magnificent ring, and at the same time, it is also a powerful magic item, and the powerful energy contained on it makes Duke tremble and feel a deep sense of powerlessness from the depths of his soul.

He was very skeptical that if Minis activated the ring in his hand, his castle would be able to remain in this world, let alone the people who lived in it, and the energy contained in this ring was enough to completely plow the small half of the northern fortress.

At the same time, at least from the side, it shows that Minis in front of him does not have malicious intent, and he is a representative of the bigwig who came here to negotiate with him with good intentions.

"I don't know what you're doing here with me, I don't think Lord Rogier has so much time to pay attention to me, the little duke, right?"

Duke could at least guess that Minis's purpose was mainly due to Agnes' problem, but he still didn't know the other party's attitude towards the saint. After all, the entire Church of Light in the North is now in a very strange atmosphere, and the attitude towards Agnes is also very unclear, so Duke thinks it is better to ask clearly, otherwise it will be difficult to explain if he accidentally sells the unlucky saint.

Sensing the temptation and distrust in Duke's words, Minis replied with a disapproving smile, "Lord Rogier is the teacher of Her Highness the Goddess, and he has now asked me to bring something for Her Highness." ”

"Uh, isn't Agnes' teacher Simon?"

Minis was a little caught off guard for a moment when he heard Duke ask this, spilled the tea he had just picked up from the teacup, and then said with a little cry and laughter: "My lord, Mr. Simon is a powerful knight, how can he teach divine arts?"

"Ah, that's right!" In order to hide his embarrassment, Duke quickly diverted the topic: "Since you are her teacher's messenger, why didn't you get her summons before, but you need to come to me like those people outside to find opportunities?"

Although Agnes lived in the castle and did not go out, Duke would ask people to sort out the letters and requests for visits received by her every day, and it stands to reason that Minis's things were also in them, but they were not accepted by Agnes, and now they want to find him as an outsider.

This time, it was Minis's turn to be a little embarrassed, he touched his nose and said, "This...... There have been some misunderstandings between Her Highness and us, and I have tried other methods, and now I have to come to you. ”

As for what other methods were used, he would not tell Duke that he tried to touch the castle at night only to be thrown out of it by a powerful female knight, and Duke was already the only breakthrough he could think of to complete the task, and even did not hesitate to take out the identity badge of the teacher to save his life to increase the weight of the negotiation.

"Hmm......"

Duke put his hand to his chin and pondered for not responding to Minis's request, he was not sure for a moment what the relationship between the other party and Agnes was, and he had no information about it.

Seeing that Duke was silent and obviously wavering, Minis simply shook his heart and said: "Lord Rogier has just taken over the affairs of the North when he discovers an interesting business called cement from the merchant Anton, and his lord is very interested in it and wants to be friends with the person who produced this magical material. ”

Then he made a very obvious suggestion: "You know, the church has always been very generous to its friends. ”

This quickly hit Duke's point, and he was now in desperate need of a man with a face to help him expand his cement business, and cut a wave of leeks in the early stage, and now someone handed him a pillow while he was sleeping, which made him very tempted.

And there is a faint threat hidden in these words, if Duke offends the current Rogiel, he will offend the future Northerners.

This person is fully capable of annulling the agreement signed by Anton, who has no real power, so that Duke will not earn a penny, so following his wishes is the best choice for Duke at present.

Besides, it is estimated that Agnes will not lose a few hairs when she sees a messenger, and her strength is strong enough, and she has been refined by the cultists of the Sect of the End for so many days without a result, and it is estimated that she will be able to deal with a small ring.

For the strength of Agnes's friend, he has so much confidence now!

So Duke had happily sold Agnes in his heart, and was ready to count the money, but he couldn't show it too much on his face.

So he got up from his chair and paced around a small circle, indicating that he was struggling to weigh it.

And Minis's eyes followed Duke's figure anxiously, he had now pressed all his chips, and if this did not impress Duke, he could only go back to accept the teacher's punishment gloomily.

He was extremely tormented in his heart, and he didn't realize that Duke had already agreed, and now he was just doing it for him.

"Since it is Her Highness the Holy Maiden's teacher, there is something to find her...... Finally, Duke felt that the heat was almost over, so he stopped and clenched his fists, and said with a firm expression: "I don't want to hinder the connection between their master and apprentice, and I will let someone lead you over, and it will be up to you to become a slave." ”

"That's for sure, Lord Duke, you're such a good man!"

Seeing that Duke hesitated for so long and finally agreed, Minis couldn't help but jump up from his chair and said happily.

Then he felt a little embarrassed, and could only look at Duke with a smirk, feeling guilty in his heart that Duke had to make this difficult decision.

"Can I go and meet Her Highness now? ”

Now that Duke had fully agreed, Minis hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and demanded that he fulfill his promise now, and before he could finish speaking, he ran out of the door.

Duke, who had already been happy in his heart, naturally wouldn't stop him, and let a guard lead the way for him, so he leisurely picked up the cold tea on the table and took a sip.

But Minis quickly went and returned, and said to Duke, who was a little stunned: "My lord, there is really a guy who calls himself a duke waiting for you outside!"
