Chapter 117: Calculation

The beautifully decorated room was filled with special incense from the East, and on a huge bed large enough to sleep ten people, the young mage was lazily half-seated and half-lying on a cushion in the center, and on the left and right was a young girl with a beautiful face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 One girl rubbed the young mage's head and neck, her soft breasts almost resting directly on the mage's shoulders, and the other girl peeled grapes, and the peeled grapes were gently held between her lips before being brought to the mage's mouth.

This kind of leisure can undoubtedly make 99.99% of the men in the world indulge in it, but the mage of the previous year was a little absent-minded, and his lazy demeanor was even a little boring, as if the only pile of cotton was resting on his shoulders, and he didn't bother to open his mouth on the grapes sent by the girl's lips, and he had to ask the girl to forcibly stuff his tongue into his mouth together, so he seemed to be reluctant to bite it twice, and his wandering eyes seemed to fall in other dimensions.

"Oh, Pinris, you can't do this, it's so decadent. And your attitude is very disrespectful to these two beautiful girls, it is an insult to their youth and beauty......" A middle-aged man who was elegant, handsome, and exquisitely dressed walked into the room slowly, shook his head and sighed as he looked at the young mage on the bed.

"Lord Arroyo. The two young girls on the bed quickly stood up and saluted the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man smiled and nodded at them as well.

"Oh, Lord Arroyo. The young mage on the bed barely stretched his waist, which was regarded as a greeting to the middle-aged man, and his eyes were a little more bright. "Are you done talking about all that boring council business? I hope you can give me some good news. Now I feel that life still has some meaning, and it is your good stuff there. Can you hold it in the near future?"

"Pingris, our ceremony is very solemn, very serious. The Marquis shook his finger rather solemnly. "Also, if you've been in such a decadent state of mind, and you're just using the festival as a way to entertain and vent, then I'm not going to allow you to go to it. ”

"Oh, okay, okay. The young mage named Pinris quickly got up from his bed and stretched out a lot, and although he barely lifted his spirits, he still looked full of decadence. He waved his hand and let the two young girls exit the room. "You also know what happened on my side, that stinky bitch of the Fernandez family relied on his ability to confuse men, relied on the support of Master Griffin to squeeze us out, and made a fuss about investigating the previous financial problems...... When the Star Temple still doesn't know if it can return safely, where can I find funding?"

"Fernández's family, do you mean the most beautiful flower in the land of Europe, Julia, Carol, Fernández, you call her ......?" the Marquis looked shocked, and then turned to anger. "How can you call such a woman so beautiful that even the air becomes so fresh as she walks, that the sun fades in front of her, and that even the gods fall for her...... That filthy word? must apologize! Apologize for her beauty!"

"It's... This ......" Pinris was also shocked. “... Arroyo-sama, do you have a relationship with her? Why don't I know? She shouldn't have ...... with people."

"No, I don't have anything to do with Miss Julia, and she doesn't even know me, a foreign nobleman. In the eyes of the big family of Oroyosta, a foreign nobleman like me, whether he has real power or not, and how much he has assets, is just an inconspicuous small role. I just saw her from afar during a party to the imperial capital. I didn't even dare go up and talk to her. Marquis Arroyo sighed, his face full of loss, sadness, and the yearning and fascination of memories. "But even if you look at it from a distance, you can feel her beauty and charm that seems to shock the gods, her smile, her every word, every tip of her hair pulls the eyes and hearts of all the men present, if the concept of 'beauty' has a god and walks in the world, then it is undoubtedly her......"

"Hmm... This one... I have to tell the Marquis something..."Pinris looked at the Marquis Arroyo's intoxicated appearance with a strange expression, hesitated and deliberated, but decided to continue. "Her appearance was not so pretty, it was transformed by Vice President Griffin with arcane art......"

"Oh, is that so?" the Marquis was indeed slightly taken aback, but then fell back into another emotion. "It's... It's magical, no, it's a miracle, it's a miracle of arcane, it's a miracle of beauty. From an arcane point of view, this is no less than a miracle of the Empire's floating city. Simply a perfect combination of arcane and aesthetic, it is the highest work of art. And she is able to radiate 100% of the brilliance of this supreme work of art, which is the pinnacle of art and beauty. How can you use such words to insult such art and beauty. You have to apologize, Pinris, as a nobleman you have to apologize. ”

"This—" Pinris looked oddly stunned for a moment before nodding his head abruptly. "Well, I apologize, I shouldn't have used that adjective for that lady. ”

"That's fine. Marquis Arroyo finally smiled and nodded. "It turns out that the charming Lady Julia is also a member of the Arcane Revival, and the kind of arcane that can create beauty and art is truly fascinating...... It's a pity that the bar for this noble organization is too high, it must be an outstanding arcane genius, but also have a noble bloodline, and be extremely loyal to the empire and the arcane...... It's too difficult, otherwise I'd say I'd have to apply for membership anyway......"

“... Regrettably, this noble organization is now struggling. Pinris shrugged, and that decadent and powerless look gradually came out again. "The loss of contact with the Star Temple has made many people doubt the ability of the organization and their own ideals. It turns out that ideals are the same as beliefs, they need a coordinate and an idol. Or that the ideal itself is a kind of faith, and if you lose the faith in the gods for a while, of course, it will begin to collapse......"

"Okay, Pinris, it doesn't need to be like that, it's just temporary. You're an arcane genius to make your family proud, and you need to cheer up. The Marquis patted the young mage on the shoulder encouragingly.

"No, Lord Arroyo, you don't understand...... You don't know what kind of arcane miracle I've witnessed, and then it was ...... by the gods. Well, it's mainly the charming Lady Julia who is pressing me every step of the way, investigating the use of my funds, which is even more terrifying than the Star Temple being defeated by the gods..."

"Then I'll give you good news to cheer you up. In a week's time, I'm going to have a festival that I'm inviting you to attend. ”

"Oh, that's great news. It's the best news I've heard in a while. Pinris's eyes lit up, and finally burst into a vibrant glow. "Thank you for your generous invitation. I know it's not going to be easy......"

"But on the other hand, I have a little favor that I need your help with. ”

"What is it?" asked Pinris. "As long as it's within my power, it's definitely not a problem. ”

“... Recently, led by the Temple of Sunlight and the Guardian Hand, the leader of the Western cult on the west coast, called the Invincible King, did you know about the sword of benevolence? They claimed that this cult leader was probably possessed by the devil's will of the lower realm. ”

"I don't know about it. How could I have the heart to pay attention to the affairs of the damned clergy, unless they had another beautiful maiden priest to comfort me...... But of course I know about the Westerner cult on the West Coast, it was an important part of the West Coast plan before the organization, of course, no one still has the heart to pay attention to them now, what's the matter, is the leader of the Westerner cult still alive? I don't think I call this awkward barbarian name..."

"That's not the point, it's the ...... Based on your experience, how likely is it that this Westerner will be manipulated by the devil's will, and if so, how dangerous is it? I remember that your research on the lower realm was quite prominent. ”

"How likely is it...... I don't know about this, but it shouldn't be some kind of powerful devil to be detected so quickly by those clergymen with. From an arcane point of view, there is no need to be as nervous as a clergy when dealing with those things in the lower realms, as long as the measures and methods are right, they can also be very useful tools...... What is this for, you ask?"

Although there was no one else in the room, the Marquis Arroyo lowered his voice and said, "The wanted leader of the Westerner cult is in my mansion, and I am going to let him attend the festival that will be held later." ”

"What?" Pinreis was stunned, then waved his hand repeatedly. "No, no, you can't do that, Lord Marquis. How can a barbaric Westerner be allowed to participate in such a noble and interesting ceremony?"

"But if this cult leader has been manipulated by the will of the lower realms, then he is not a Westerner in fact. Marquis Arroyo's voice continued to be lowered, but a smile slowly appeared on his face. "Some time ago, I have tried various ways to test this Westerner, and I am very sure that he has indeed been possessed by the will of the lower realm, and it does not seem to be a very powerful and cunning devil, as long as we can find a way to control him during the festival......"

Pinkers shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, even if it just looks Western. I don't have a crush on Westerners, and I can say I'm allergic to Westerners, and those black-haired, black-eyed unbelievers are simply weirder and more dangerous monsters than devils and demons. I feel very uncomfortable just by seeing Westerners now......"

"How so?" the Marquis was stunned. "Aside from this cult leader, I have also come into contact with some Westerners, although they are despicable and a little weird, but they are nothing......

"Oh, that's the really weird Westerners you've ever seen, and you don't even know what I was going through on the West Coast some time ago......" Pinkers picked up his head after a little recollection, his eyes bloodshot and his voice dry, as if he had fallen into a great anxiety. "Anyway, I feel very uncomfortable when I see Westerners now. How ....... unimaginable to go to that festival with Westerners, to let those ugly monkeys lie on top of those girls in your mansion? Please, Lord Arroyo, what about your unwavering beauty?"

"Well, I'll admit it's a bit of a grievance. The Marquis sighed, but smiled mysteriously. "But this Westerner who is possessed by a demon still has a wind element crystal weighing more than twenty catties and a purity above the seventh level......"

"Twenty pounds?" Pinkers froze. "Isn't it twenty grams?"

"It should be twenty pounds. Because this Westerner had already given me a 7,985-gram Wind Elemental Crystal, according to what he said, it was only cut from under a larger Wind Elemental Crystal, which was only a quarter. And the rest is in his hands. ”

"It's... So big... Although the lawfulness of the seventh energy level is not too high, this weight is very rare even in the Imperial Age...... That's a great asset..."Pincus' eyes slowly sparkled. "Well, I may see what you mean, Lord Marquis. Maybe it's right to let this demon-manipulated Westerner participate in the festival, using the festival to lure out his true nature, and then have enough measures to counter the will of the lower realm......"

"Yes. That's why I'm inviting you to join in, hoping that Pinkers' vast knowledge of the creatures of the lower realms will be useful......"

"Of course no problem, I will do my best to help your Excellency Arroyo...... But I want to be paid enough......"

The Marquis smiled gracefully: "Don't worry, it will definitely be enough for you to make up for the lack of funds, and there will be a large surplus." ”

###

As soon as twilight rose, the camp was still full of life. Torches were lit everywhere, and soldiers and sailors were still moving about, some still eating their unfinished dinner, some just returning from wandering outside. Not only did the roads increase the free time of the soldiers and sailors, but the popularity of the city of Ossing increased greatly, and it became the norm to go out for a walk in groups, and even some clever sailors and soldiers had learned some Euroo.

Master Motri and Mu Qinyi walked between the camps, strolling along like a stroll, chatting casually. The soldiers and sailors who passed by all smiled at them, while those who did not greet them from near and far cast their burning gazes, either directly bold or sneaking through. For these two women who often travel together, one beautiful and quiet with a hint of seduction, and the other is outgoing and tall and seductive, they have long become the objects of the twilight thoughts of these sailors and soldiers who are in their twenties and thirties.

And for some reason today, the ribbon tied around Fairy Mu's waist made her slender figure even more prominent, and the Euro woman was even more embarrassed, no longer wearing a robe that covered her body tightly, but a short-sleeved skirt, exposing Bai Shengsheng's arms and calves. The scene flickered in the flickering firelight, making the sound of grunting and swallowing saliva faintly everywhere you passed, and if the gaze was really warm, it would have been enough to burn these two beauties with different styles, but equally rare, to scream.

Of course, these two beauties could feel these gazes, but they had long been accustomed to them, and they still kept the most popular scenery of the envoys slowly walking through the camp.

However, this was just a scene seen by the hundreds of soldiers and sailors in the envoy regiment, in fact, just as he passed by Lord Li's tent, Master Motri disappeared and turned around and got in, staying by Mu Qinyi's side and still talking and laughing with her, it was just an illusion created by the three-ring arcane.

Several pro-soldiers at the door were still engrossed in watching the backs of the two ladies leaving, and they didn't even wipe the saliva they left, and of course they didn't notice the slightest movement behind them. Moreover, Lord Li has to burn incense and bathe alone at this time, reciting the books of sages to cultivate his own morality, and he doesn't like to be disturbed the most, of course they are also happy to be quiet.

When Master Motri entered the inner tent, he saw that Master Li Wenmin was playing with a palm-sized stone carving handicraft in his hand, with a very satisfied and smug smile on his face, and his expression was still slightly in a trance, as if he was imagining something. Mage Motteri certainly didn't study the old bureaucrat's interests, she waved her hand, and a ring of 'insulating sounds' enveloped the space in the tent, and then began to chant auxiliary syllables and began to construct the high-ring arcane.

The fluctuation of the voice and the arcane made the stealth effect caused by the low-ring arcane dissipate, and Lord Li glared at the female mage who appeared in his tent, and asked in amazement, "That... That one... Master Mo, why did you get here? Why didn't the people outside pass the word? Hey, there are people~~"

The female mage couldn't understand Lord Li's Shenzhou dialect, and these sounds couldn't penetrate the shield of the arcane ring and spread to the ear holes of the pro-soldiers outside, and the casting time of three or four seconds had been completed, and the arcane circuit that had been constructed turned the female mage's already prepared thinking into a spiritual impact that instantly rushed into the old bureaucrat's mind, and he suddenly froze in place, his eyes showed a confused look, and he fell into a chaotic state of mental shock.

Four-ring arcane 'memory tampering', it takes a few minutes for a doctored memory to settle semi-permanently in the depths of the target's mind. The mage lied, of course she would use this type of arcane control, and she knew very well how to accomplish some seemingly impossible tasks with such seemingly ineffective arcane.

"Not even the most basic mental resistance, what an incomparable waste, like those drunks waiting to die in a tavern. Feeling the feedback from the arcane, Mage Motri couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. "It's really incomprehensible, how can such a waste become the leader of this team, and can also command such a powerful subordinate?"

It would take about ten seconds for the arcane to fully take effect, and now the memories of that short time would be erased. In this case, her task here is completely complete. But at this moment, the female mage suddenly had a feeling of reluctance.

It's been a long time since she's been lurking like this, casting spells at will, and secretly burying methods. During this time, she really seemed to be a scheming ordinary mage who was bent on waiting to return to Oroyosta, wandering around with Mu who was bent on leaving here all day long, chatting, researching where to eat in Osstar City, and occasionally teaching the Sword of Benevolence and the Wind to learn arcane arts, and quarreling a little.

She's never been so relaxed in her life. Slowly, she felt as if she was a little unconsciously immersed in it, as if she was lying alone in the spring sun waiting for a very important thing, but she was always drowsy, and occasionally she herself would feel wrong, but this kind of life really made her unable to lift her spirits.

It was only at this time that the feeling of vigilance, keenness, alertness and swiftness like a wild animal returned, and she could feel that her thinking speed seemed to have increased dozens of times.

This is indeed a very good opportunity. Feng and Liu, the two people she feared the most and had the most incredible perception, had left, and she could use the arcane arts at will, and the envoy camp of the hundreds of people was nothing more than a back garden for her to come and go at will. Including the most heavily guarded warehouse, which housed the gifts that had survived the theft, and dozens of soldiers who had been closely guarded for a long time, but in the face of the arcane at her disposal, they were useless. During all these times here, no matter how comfortable and lazy she was, she had already remembered all the situations in the camp clearly by instinctive memory.

According to the information gathered, Duke Incle asked the empire on the western continent for some very rare arcane materials in the land of Europe, and although the last time he took the opportunity to sneak into that big ship and steal it was very risky, the materials sent to the headquarters afterwards proved to be very valuable. Now I don't have those rat gangs to help transport it, but it's okay to find a secret place to store it. Before the envoys began their march towards Oroyosta, no one would go out of their way to inspect the gift storehouse, and even if their hands and feet were clean, even if they did, they would not find anything......

After thinking about it for two seconds, the female mage smiled lightly, shook her head, hid her figure and got out of the tent, and chased in the direction where Mu Qinyi was going.

The goal she has now is not comparable to a few precious arcane materials, and even if there is only a one percent chance, it will not make the original plan change.

Mu Qinyi, who was strolling, suddenly felt a movement around him, and when he turned his head again, he knew that the illusion next to him had been replaced by the real female mage. She was also a little surprised, and asked, "Why is it so fast? Didn't you say that it would be delayed for a while?"

The female mage pursed her lips: "That Lord Li's spirit is really too weak, and the arcane was completed without the slightest resistance, so many of my preparatory measures were not used." ”

"So did the plan go well?" Mu Qinyi asked a little nervously.

The female mage smirked, "Hmm. No problem, I stuffed everything the wind commanded into the old man's head, and after it took effect, no one would find out unless he specialized in mind control. ”

"Ah, that's great. There's finally a way to stop that old fool. Mu Qinyi stretched his waist, and his delicate figure was unobstructed. The good mood made her face a little pale all the time, and a beautiful flush appeared. "It's a pity that if I don't use that method, it's easy to goof. Otherwise, I would be the one who the envoys say they are. ”

"Wow, Mu, your figure doesn't look inconspicuous, but it's actually pretty good. If you wear an evening dress, it will make the lads of the legation have nosebleeds. The female mage stretched out her finger and nodded on Mu Qinyi's chest.

"It's itchy, don't make a fuss. Mu Qinyi's face turned red again, and he giggled. "Well, today to celebrate a quiet victory, let's go to the city for ice cream, I haven't forgotten the taste since the last time, there are also delicious things in the Euro Continent. ”

"Okay, okay, but this time Mu is going to have a treat, and I'm running out of money. ”

In the dark gift warehouse, Feng Yinqiu opened his eyes and let out a long sigh in the musty air: "Hey, I didn't come." ”
