The atmosphere of the main meal was quite harmonious, although Eshuin did not remove his armor.

Count Lamar didn't seem to care about the other party's behavior to hide his true face, but while he was enjoying his dinner, he continued to exchange pleasantries and gossip without bounds, and his enthusiasm was completely overflowing in his expression, and his cordial attitude even made people think that he was entertaining his father-in-law.

During this time, the butler occasionally entered the dining room to talk to the earl, but each time he quickly withdrew.

Proportional to the number of appearances of the butler, the footsteps in the corridor outside the restaurant were becoming more and more sparse, and Eshuine looked at the still glorious Earl with amusement, and sighed in his heart that this guy's emotional control methods were really clever.

At this time, the other party should have noticed that something was wrong.

Calculating the time, Paul should have dealt with the guards who were assigned to watch, and it was almost time to get to the point-

"The cultivation of the nobility is really terrible, and you are really unexpectedly calm. ”

When the maids changed into desserts after the meal, Ai Xiuyin mentioned with interest, "It should be said that the acting skills are good, and there are more and more guards sent out to investigate but have lost their news, but they can't tell from their expressions alone." ”

The Count was visibly stunned for a moment, but soon realized his gaffe, and quickly came back to his senses and shook his head in denial.

"Your Excellency, you are laughing, and the contemptible people do not understand the meaning of your words. ”

"Well, you understand. But it's a shame that I thought we had a chance to work together instead of setting traps for each other. Eshuin accentuated his tone on the word trap, "Then again, don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence that my companion has come?"

Seeing that the other party was silent, he looked at the courtyard outside the mansion window.

The mass-produced puppets are too large to be hidden in the Uncle's Mansion, and the most likely thing is to be buried in the ground nearby.

"Well, I guess it's too late to find out. Without waiting for the other party to speak, Ai Xiuyin continued to talk to himself, "I'm the type who is very afraid of trouble, so I don't want tonight's incident to get out." Starting from the square in town, your eyeliner should have been cleared, and now my men should be on their way over. Although the Demon Sealing Enchantment is useful for magicians, I mentioned in advance that even if I can't use magic, I have a way to hold out in front of the powerhouses of the Holy Realm for more than ten minutes. The puppet toys of the War Puppets are too bulky to deal with characters who can harness sword energy. ”

"Cheakmate (checkmate). After a pause, he slapped himself on the head, "I'm sorry, you probably don't understand, I forgot that there is no chess in this world." ”

Count Lamar's brows wrinkled unconsciously into Sichuan characters, and the gloom revealed became more and more obvious.

"Can you tell me how Your Excellency found out about this?"

Now that the other party has already torn the surface used to cover up, there is no need to bother pretending anymore.

Although he really didn't understand what the words in the other party's mouth meant, he could see the strong irony in his attitude of ignoring himself and playing with the tableware boredly after just saying this.

"Hmph, since you're dying, it doesn't matter if you tell you. Listen to it——!"

After saying this, seeing the other party's obviously expectant expression, Ai Xiuyin smiled, and his voice changed, "Tsk, you don't think I'm going to say that, right?" At this time, breaking the news is a self-defeating flag-planting behavior, and it will fall into the end of dying from talking too much, and I am very taboo about this issue. Or do I look like a model worker villain who will give for nothing?"

While observing the other party's demeanor, Ai Xiuyin spread his hands helplessly.

"How can a normal person have the heart to pay attention to these things at the moment of life and death, if he would ask that," after a pause, he said word by word: "In fact, he is telling the other party that he still has hole cards." ”

Seeing that the other party was silent, but cold sweat had begun to ooze from his forehead, Ai Xiuyin estimated that he was right.

Although it has caused a lot of trouble, it is also due to the bad reputation of madness, which makes the deterrent power of the undead not low.

"It's a terrible situation," Esher sighed regretfully, "the other party knows that the invitation is ill-intentioned, and he knows some of the hole cards in his hand, but why would he take the risk of meeting? ”

"That'...... No, it still doesn't have to. ”

Lamar opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer. Although he was not a professional diplomat, his years of aristocratic life made him understand that no matter how he answered, it was not a wise choice at this time, and he would only let himself fall into the rhythm of the other party.

He was talking to the devil, and the thought suddenly came to his mind.

"That's a shame. Originally, you only had to talk a little bit to solve the puzzle. ”

Eshuin stood the silver fork in his hand on the dining table, "For example, say hello to the guy behind the scenes. ”

The Earl was stunned for a moment, unable to say why, looking at this strange magician shrouded in pitch-black armor, a feeling of being seen through by the other party actually rose in his heart, the other party just sat quietly on the seat, but he suddenly felt an indescribable coldness and evil, as if he was staring at the abyss so deep that he could not see the bottom.

"I didn't expect you to know this level...... No, it's normal to do it to that extent. ”

Count Lamar forced himself to calm down and stared at the other party solemnly, "It seems that the master's prediction is correct, Your Excellency really has something to do with that Undead Supreme." Unexpectedly, after several generations of decline, the Flasker family was able to come into contact with two legendary beings at the same time. ”

Hearing this, Eshuin's heart jumped (even though he didn't have a heart), but he didn't show it.

My own guess is correct -

The other party's status is not qualified to intervene in the circle of the demon world or the high-level of the continent at all, and he can know his identity, which is very likely to be told to him by the so-called "master", but judging from the tone, it seems that it is only at the stage of speculation.

However, if that is the case, it means that there is a possibility of compromise in the step of transmitting information.

For Eshuin, the most important issue is how to survive without revealing his identity as much as possible, the future of the Demon Realm invasion is a foregone conclusion, and hiding cannot solve the problem, but if you want to fight head-on, it is inevitable to strengthen the combat power of your side.

In order to do this, it is necessary to find an area where you can develop with peace of mind.

Originally, the most tricky opponent at the moment was the unpredictable Lich King Raymond, and at this time, it was obviously unwise to provoke a high-ranking member of the Eastern Magic Federation, but it was also a matter of negotiation for peace, although Aeshuin had never dared to believe it, but the culprit who originally destroyed the prosperous Elven Empire seemed to be Spendham, and he didn't think that those long-eared people would forgive the remnants of the previous Undead King.

muttered a lot in his heart, and after only a second or two of effort, he felt that he would stabilize the other party first.

"Your Excellency, let's make a deal. ”

Whatever the outcome, he had to give it a try, and thinking of this, Eshuin laid out his terms, "not to interfere with each other," he held out a finger, "and just report to your master that his guess is wrong, and in return, we will help you conquer the royal city of this country." Of course, after becoming the new royal family, you probably won't have time to manage this original territory, so you can leave it to us. I think it's a win-win option. ”

But the final fruit will be obtained by Her Royal Highness, and he is not stupid enough to say it.

In the end, he chose to help Vivian, not because Ai Xiuyin is a lolicon, although the other party is a beautiful girl and there are also plus points, but what he likes is that the four kings and women have betrayed their relatives and left them, and there is a commander behind him, a partner who will defect at any time, he doesn't want it.

I just want to conserve my strength as much as possible, and just hold on until the Headless Horseman arrives.

"Hahahaha," unexpectedly, the Count laughed out loud without serious consideration, "are you coaxing the child?"

"......"

"If you do what you say, there's no value in keeping it. ”

Rubbing his lips with a napkin, the Count did not show any signs of panic, but got up gracefully.

"Besides, your Excellency, you seem to have mistaken one thing. After saying this, Lamar smiled a little maniacally, "The Frasco family is not loyal to those inferior elves, but the funny thing is, do you think you have won the battle?"
