After returning to the team's base, Stephen looked at everyone and said slowly, "So what do you think of this invitation?"

Buck, who has always been silent, was the first to speak this time: "We shouldn't participate in this invitation, no matter what kind of attitude the Duke of Gloom's people invite us, but once we do, we will definitely attract suspicion, and maybe those who are at odds with us in the council will use this to suppress us." ”

Everyone agreed with Buck's statement, with all but one of them. "Then it seems that I am the only one to go to the banquet tonight," Liu Zhiyuan said leisurely on the side.

Hearing Liu Zhiyuan say that he was going to a banquet tonight, everyone else was very strange, just now Buck said that if he attended the banquet, he was likely to be suspected by the council, and the end was often not very good, Liu Zhiyuan actually wanted to go.

"Roque, why are you going to that party? Buck said that it wouldn't be any good to go there, maybe they had some secret secrets. The outspoken Ike was the first to ask, and the others also looked at Liu Zhiyuan, hoping that he would give a reason.

Liu Zhiyuan still said unhurriedly: "You don't have to worry, I'm not leaving the council, I'm going to do it for those five soul cultivation fruits, not for anything else." ”

Stephen frowned and said, "Then let's go with you, let your partner face the danger alone, this is not the style of our team!"

Everyone else also expressed their willingness to accompany Liu Zhiyuan, which made Liu Zhiyuan a little moved, this is a very good group of companions, but he plans to act alone tonight, because she wants to take advantage of this banquet to catch up with the internal and high-level of the Duke of Yinyou, and this matter cannot be known to Stephen.

"Thank you for being willing to accompany me, but this time it's my own business, it's better to let me deal with it alone, this time I'm going to ask for payment, it's a famous teacher, and even if others know, they can't say anything, so I'll go alone." ”

Evan wanted to say something, but Stephen spoke first, "In that case, I won't say much, I just want to tell you that no matter what you have to do, we will definitely help you." ”

Liu Zhiyuan and Stephen looked at each other for a while, then smiled and said thank you, then turned around and left to go to the dinner.

After Liu Zhiyuan walked away, Ai Wen ran to Stephen's side and said cautiously: "Boss, I feel that that guy Roque has a secret to hide from us.

Stephen glanced at him, knocked his head casually and said: You just reacted, you are really dull enough, I really don't know how a guy like you survives in a vampire family.

Aven was a little confused, and Harrick, who was on the side, couldn't help but sneer: "Stupid, we have noticed it a long time ago, and only you have found out now." ”

This time Ai Wen didn't fight back, but asked: "Then do you know what Locke's secret is?" Ai Wen asked rhetorically, and Harrick also shut up, where did he know what Liu Zhiyuan's secret was.

"Whatever Roque has secrets, all we need to know is that he is part of our squad, and we all owe him a life, and we should help him no matter what he does, and the rest will not have to be entangled. The secret discussion of Liu Zhiyuan was ended by Stephen's words.

On the other hand, Liu Zhiyuan went directly to the City Lord's Mansion after leaving the base area, although the real manager in Meldo is the Demon Spirit Council, but the empire cannot let a city with the top strength and prosperity become independent, so after promising a lot of benefits, the Demon Spirit Council agreed to the empire to arrange for the city lord to go to Meldor.

Liu Zhiyuan soon came to the City Lord's Mansion in the West District of Meldosi, although it looked a little poor compared to the Demon Spirit Council, but it was also very good.

took out the invitation and handed it to the skeleton soldiers guarding at the door, and after a while, a vampire wearing a deacon's suit walked out and said respectfully to Liu Zhiyuan: "Welcome, respected Master Roque, the banquet is about to start, please come with me." ”

Liu Zhiyuan nodded, followed him, and after a while, he entered the hall, which had been arranged in an eerie and terrifying way, of course, by human standards, for the undead, such a decoration was the most suitable. However, what made Liu Zhiyuan feel strange was that there was no one in the hall, and it stands to reason that the City Lord's Mansion should invite a lot of talents.

Hearing only a "bang", the door of the hall suddenly closed, and the vampire deacon who led Liu Zhiyuan in was gone, Liu Zhiyuan secretly became vigilant, took out his wand while walking forward, and then said loudly: "I was invited to the banquet, what is the reason for locking me here now? Is this the hospitality of the City Lord's Mansion!"

Suddenly there were footsteps upstairs, and a vampire in an evening dress walked down, and after Liu Zhiyuan saw him, the soul fire shook violently a few times, because that vampire was actually a gold-level powerhouse, and he also knew the other party, this guy was the same vampire who besieged Cleos in the first place!

The other party didn't know what Liu Zhiyuan was thinking, the vampire applied a standard aristocratic etiquette, and said softly: "Welcome, Master Roque, I am the Duke Miles of the vampire clan, and I'm glad you are here." ”

Liu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this vampire duke didn't see him in the forest, but he still vigilantly took out a thousand-mile teleportation talisman, and said respectfully: "You are really polite, but I am here for the banquet, but there seems to be no one, am I here too early?"

Miles walked downstairs, sat down on the main seat, and made a gesture of please, Liu Zhiyuan could only sit down together, Miles continued: "In fact, you are the only person I invited, and I am very happy that you can come to the banquet." ”

"You're really polite, I'm just a bronze skeleton mage, I don't know what you're looking for me for?" Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly put on a flattered look and asked cautiously.

"Okay then, then I'll open the skylight and say something, in fact, I want to make a deal with you, I hope you can think about it. Miles still maintained a gentle smile, giving people a sense of affinity, but the more he was like this, the more vigilant Liu Zhiyuan became.

Liu Zhiyuan pretended to be surprised and said: "I don't know what the adults have taken a fancy to me, as long as the adults need it, I will give it to the adults." ”

Miles spoke softer: "Don't be nervous, I want nothing else but you." ”

"My lord, I don't understand what you said, what is meant by wanting me as a person, please make it clear to my lord" Liu Zhiyuan was even more puzzled, what is called wanting him to be a person.

"Then I'll be blunt, Master Roque, your teacher is one of the five members of the Demon Spirit Council, you should know, right?" Although he didn't know why Miles asked this, Liu Zhiyuan still nodded.

Miles continued, "Now that there are only four members left in the Demon Council, they are bound to find someone to fill the vacancy, and you are certainly one of their candidates, and our deal is to lead the Council closer to us once you become a councilor." ”

Now Liu Zhiyuan understands, it seems that Duke Yin Yu wants to do something to the Demon Spirit Council, but why don't they go to the remaining four councilors, but instead come to themselves, a magician who has only reached the bronze level.

"This... My lord, let's not talk about anything else, why do you think I can become a councilor, I'm just a bronze-level mage, above me, I don't know how many silver-level and gold-level magicians are staring at that position, how can I fight for it?"

Miles picked up a glass of bright red blood, drank it all in one gulp, and said, " Master Roque, you don't have to worry, since we are looking for you to trade, we naturally have the confidence to help you ascend to the throne, first of all, you are a disciple of the previous councilor, it is normal for an apprentice to inherit the teacher's profession, although you are still very weak now, but as long as you are given time, you will definitely be able to become strong, and the most important thing for the undead is time, and during this period, we will provide you with protection and resources, which is considered a deposit for the transaction, and after you take the position, we still have a big gift to give you, so what do you mean?"

Of course Liu Zhiyuan will not refuse, he originally came this time to find a way to get on the line with the Duke of Yinyou, but now, the other party has sent the opportunity to the front, how can there be any reason to refuse.

"Thank you so much! As long as you can help me become a councilor, I am willing to listen to you," Liu Zhiyuan said with a look of ecstasy, and Miles smiled more gently.
