(4.9 Second Update)

"Draw the sword in the first style, slash!"

The sword fell and scattered, and the reckless position and defense line also collapsed in regret with the expansion of the ant erosion gap.

"A strong solitary creature still can't get rid of the mousetrap that the hunter carelessly places unless it gives up the desire to forage."

The shattered chains, the sturdy fences became defenseless ornaments, and Plant stepped on the corpses lying in pools of blood, and the blood-stained dagger stained the neckline of Duke Shizao's neat gown, and the sound of grinding against the stiffness.

"Why? What's the flaw? ”

Trembling inquiry, losing all the confidence to be able to maintain the mind, and being smug but receiving a gift that has fallen to the bottom, this kind of conviction must be able to taste the taste of unwillingness.

"There's no flaw at all, it's just because you're pretending to be too perfect, which triggers my critical aesthetic, and I can deal with it calmly when I am in the eyes of the public, and the more I look at it, the more it looks like it is deliberately contrived."

The old man was the first to rush out of the fence, and sneered at the duke, and when he saw Plant's smiling face, he immediately changed his mind, and hurriedly retreated behind Si Qi, feeling that something was wrong, and followed me again, and officially stepped out of the cage.

"Plant, put down your butcher's knife, the animals that have succumbed will no longer have the ideals and courage to escape."

Plant lowered his right hand holding the knife and raised it a height, reminding the Duke to take back the accessory toys that belonged to his scabbard, but the shy Duke declined Plant's offer with silence. Helpless, Plant had no choice but to return the blade to its owner, and the blood stains stuck in the leather scabbard dripped down the white leather boots that the Duke wore to commemorate the victory.

"Aren't you already drunk and tied up by me, why are you still here?"

The duke's long silence finally squeezed out the unincisive words, perhaps the fading of the threatening killing intent, which made him reluctantly regain the right to control the words.

"I have to thank you for your soft-heartedness in cherishing life, if you had poured some kind of inferior poison into the bottle, or if you had tied me up and killed me, there would have been no such thing. Of course, the kindness of your thought also guarantees that you can still talk to the Earl here. ”

The Duke of Shizao turned to look at Plant in confusion, and then looked back at me deeply, the doubts entrenched in his heart, and accumulated too many complaints.

"But to sober up from concentrated alcohol, it's not as simple as just words, unless you find some kind of drug to fight it."

"It doesn't take such complicated steps, after all, for alcoholism, even if you throw illegal drugs, you will swallow them without thinking, and then cause irreparable negative effects; But for people who stay away from alcohol, he will always have a set of clever means of prevarication, and his acting skills will become more mature because of the confusion of the other party over time. ”

Plant took out a specially customized wine bottle from his bosom, and the alcohol waving in the air exuded a charming aroma, and before it could fall back into his palm, he was intercepted by Si Qi halfway. When the cap is unscrewed, the liquid material that flows out washes the hands stained with pigment, and the air-drying process is exceptionally fresh.

"The young master's guess is really accurate! It is a mountain spring that is more refreshing than alcohol, and it is also mixed with freshly brewed honey. ”

Si Qi drank the remaining water, washing away the viciousness of his belly.

"I see, but according to the confession of the watchman I have dispatched, there should be no contact between you, whether it is the window or the main entrance, the house where the Count lives is only in and out of Siqi's house, and Siqi only wanders between the kitchen and the hall, and does not secretly communicate with anyone else. I still have enough trust in the work of the monitoring team. ”

The Duke stared at his companions on the ground who had not survived, and based on the inferences drawn from the facts, he verified his vow of never departing. It may have been the only old man who should have been bitter about this, but he hid aside and whistled leisurely, and when he saw Si Qi's straight gaze, he immediately attached to it, and amplified his voice and said:

"It must be because of the blessing of the gods and reasonable calculations that our count can be invincible! As for you, even if you are made, it is only a stumbling block to stop the earl, no, it is not even as good as a pinch of loose loess. That's right, Mr. Siqi! ”

The old man glanced at Si Qi, and wisely stopped the rambling compliments, and hid in the corner of the wall to live a life without fighting, except of course the lost ants who were played by him in the applause.

"This wave of your self-confidence can be affirmed, and I don't have time to shake your authority, of course, the eyes of your subordinates have not deceived them, we really haven't made any changes, and we haven't had anything to do with the outside world."

"So, how did you see through me? The chances of the gods' favor are too slim. ”

The Duke bit his lip, it was a curse to the gods, and of course the gods would choose to disdain away from his voice.

"There is no need for instructions, just small observations and reasonable speculations, and the truth about you will be unobstructed. Remember what I just hinted at? You behaved so perfectly that the first moment we met, you had already lost. I can see it, Si Qi is also clear, only you in the dirt may still be confidently boasting about your acting skills. ”

"Impossible, I have worked hard to learn the official language of the country of Coron, the standard etiquette, the combination of gods and forms, and there is no possibility that there will be some mistakes! Has perfection also become an excuse that can be applied casually in the mouth of the victor? ”

The Duke closed his eyes and pondered over his omissions, only to get the fact that he found nothing, and of course there was no flaw in his acting skills.

"It should be the first moment you open it! As a large system of the kingdom of Cologne, each region has its own special dialects, and although attempts were made to unify the language through reform, they could only achieve a state of mutual understanding in the end, and could not be completely integrated. The language you speak is the standard language that was defined at the time, and it is still used in some parts of the world, but depending on your age and fabricated occupation, you must have visited many countries! But I can maintain the eternal original intention in the more complex big dye vat, and I can't even express the tone, no matter how you look at it, it's awkward and suspicious! ”

Si Qi's explanation is reasonable, and it is exactly what I thought, and it is also the jealousy that sprouts because of perfection, and then it is born with special attention! The Duke hid his face and sighed, but he couldn't find a barrier that could act as a spiritual shield. If he wants to be obsessed with finding sustenance, then his senior John is a good choice, but he has to admit that he is an enemy who can be discarded at will, and will not abide by some illusions of vows.

"But there must be another reason! After all, it can only be regarded as speculation, the fuse that triggers the thunder. ”

"Yes, what really leads to all the bad consequences is your inadvertent mistake, or lack of understanding of the rules."

"Me?"

The duke's suspicion of his own voice is more like questioning the existence of a foreign object and ruling out his own suspicion. Of course, the futile struggles are all such postures.

"Remember the dinner the Duke has given us tonight? Can the Duke re-enact the etiquette at the table for the young master who missed the feast? ”

"Distinguished guests, welcome to our second home, far from our homeland, at the service of diplomat Tamm and his servants!"

Flashy language paired with modest movements is a typical diplomat's way of setting the mood, but

"No, that's not right!"

My prompt stopped the absurd farce from continuing, and the Duke was stunned in the frozen space, like a winter ice sculpture, frozen in the heat of a summer night.

"Your hand is misplaced!"

The Duke lowered his head and looked at his right hand on his left shoulder, his straight legs, and did not notice the cattiness in it.

"If it was ten years ago, you are not worthy of doubt, the left hand salute is a new etiquette that has just emerged, if you investigate the angle, the position, you have done it almost perfectly, but according to your age, the too natural smoothness proves that you are just showing the ability to learn and sell, an old man of your age and gray hair should still adhere to the right hand etiquette that you were used to ten years ago. Even if you can accept it reluctantly, you won't be able to behave well, at least hesitant and stuck, and the mechanical stalemate of the body will also be reflected! ”

"Yes, that's the old etiquette that I can't even correct, only nobles of the same age as the young master will adopt the new etiquette, it looks really troublesome!"

The duke, whose blood continued to flow, sat down on the ground, defeated not by a mistake in his own understanding, but by the historical changes of the isolated culture. forcibly squeezed the unwilling tears, but found that there was no leisure to show acting skills, and the dry eye sockets were about to dry up.

"Well, Plant's appearance is not some kind of accident!"

"Huh? Then you misunderstood my intentions, and I always wanted to get some reasonable compensation from you, so I followed you, but I arrived here unexpectedly, and I happened to meet the earl, and I believe the earl will also give me a reward! ”

"Huh? That means you're not prepared for anything else! ”

The duke's worldview was completely overturned, and the whole person became uneasy, and his trembling body was uncontrollable.

"Not exactly, as long as there is a place where I am, I myself am the best preparation, and you will not just put me to death, at most it can only be a threat. And when you make up your mind, your panicked mind can't escape the short knife I hide in my sleeve! ”

"Why are you so confident in me?"

"Because you're a duke!"

The empty sky, a familiar voice, sure enough, such an occasion, for him, should not be missed!
