Let's talk about the ninety-nine side.

The master and servant who were using hidden magic had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard wall of the City Lord's Mansion at this moment.

Ninety-nine tweaked their concealed magic, allowing them to be spotted by the two soldiers guarding the door.

Since Ninety-Nine is using zonal cognitive obstruction magic at the moment, when he chooses 'Let the 2 soldiers in front of him see him', the 2 soldiers will see the following:

The space that seemed to be empty suddenly appeared with a white mist. Then the fog lifted, revealing the two girls hiding inside.

Faced with the young I girl and the beautiful woman who suddenly appeared in front of them, the soldiers were startled at first, and then they were immediately made their hearts beat faster by the quiet Gennai and the soft and cute young I girl in front of them.

But in the next second, they immediately realized their own work, so they hurriedly adjusted their expressions and bowed their heads to say hello: "Good morning, two adults, do you want to meet the city lord?"

"No, I'm here to find Yanliu." Pseudo-Lori smiled dignified and replied blandly.

"Uh......" Soldier A looked at Soldier B and asked in a low voice, "Is Yanliu there?"

Soldier B also whispered, "I don't know."

Soldier A smiled politely, "Then, I'll go and inform you first, please wait a while."

"Okay."

After Ninety-Nine agreed, a powerful magic was immediately generated under Soldier A's feet, and he rushed towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion as swiftly as the wind.

……

After a while, Soldier A returned.

"Ninety-nine, Yan Liu doesn't seem to be there. But Lord Castle, I want to see you, and I wonder if you're free now."

"Huh? Looking for me? Ninety-nine paused for a moment, then replied, "If you are free, can we go in?"

"Yes, please." After speaking, the two soldiers stood on either side and bowed their heads respectfully.

……

Ninety-nine led Gennai down the corridor of the temporary hospital towards the gate of the Castle Lord's Mansion.

"Hey...... Look for me again. What could it be? Awards? Or ......"

Pseudo-Lori thought as she looked around, the makeshift hospital that had no more patients.

The hospital, which was full of wounded and sick a few days ago, is now only eight soldiers patrolling the interior.

Seven of them are 'maintaining' the medical equipment in the hospital, such as beds, tables and chairs......

There was also a person who was directing and writing something down in his notebook.

Ninety-nine stared with interest, and after a while, he came to the gate of the mansion.

Chud, the butler who had been waiting at the door for a long time, immediately greeted gentlemanly.

"Welcome, Ninety-Nine, Gennai-sama. Please come with me."

"Hmm"

After answering, Ninety-Nine and Gennai followed the housekeeper Qiu De to the study where City Lord Li was.

……

After entering the house:

"Lord Castle, are you looking for me?"

"Ah, yes, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. Let's sit down first."

After the three of them were seated, Chud, as usual, served each of them a dessert and fragrant tea.

……

"Lord of the Castle, can you say it?" Ninety-nine took a sip of tea and asked calmly.

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point." The middle-aged man in a gorgeous dress smiled kindly and nodded politely, "Actually, I want to buy from you, the design of your Black Feather Magic Hammer, and the key magic required to use the magic bolt."

"Hmph, is it really for this?" Pseudo-Lori in her heart, against her chin, chuckling with a bit of a queen's temperament.

"But why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Is it Joshua...... What did you tell the castle lord? ”

"I remember that Sister Wrist seems to have said that he has a close relationship with the city lord......"

"Ask."

After thinking for half a second, Ninety-Nine held the teacup and said with a smile, "So it's for this."

"Yes, so... Ninety-Nine, are you willing to make this deal with me?" The city lord kept a calm and kind smile and continued to ask.

"Hmm...... Before I answer this question, Lord Castle, can you answer me a question?" Ninety-Nine said, throwing the teacup out like a frisbee.

The teacup, which rotated slowly in the air in slow motion, landed slowly, gently, and accurately on the gold-patterned saucer on the table.

"Tell me." The city lord remained calm and smiled.

Ninety-Nine was deliberately silent for 1 second, and then said, "Lord City, why did you only propose this deal to me today?"

The city lord's brows sank slightly, and his expression became a little solemn due to nervousness.

Seeing that the city lord didn't answer immediately, the pseudo-Lori continued: "Obviously, yesterday and the day before yesterday, you could propose a transaction, why do you have to wait until today to mention it?"

Pseudo-Lori stretched her hands forward, and after finishing speaking, she closed her hands to her chest and placed them on her chest: "Of course, I don't have any malicious intent, let alone accuse you. I'm just curious why you'd have to wait two days. Aren't you afraid that I'll sell this design to someone else?"

After finishing speaking, Ninety-Nine stared at a pair of apologetic eyes of curiosity and looked at the middle-aged man opposite.

Knock knock.

Looking at the overly cute eyes, looking at the overly cute outfit, Li Wenzheng's heart throbbed uncontrollably.

The sense of maturity caused by overly cautious speech, combined with the youthful appearance that has nothing to do with 'maturity', ultimately results in a cuteness that makes it difficult to take your eyes off.

And this cuteness is also stirring Li Wenzheng's heart.

He was silent for a while, and under his frowning brows, his slightly dull eyes carried the kind light of a parent.

"Hey, okay, then I'll tell you the truth." Li Wenzheng sighed, "Actually, when you came back on the first day, I wanted to tell you about it, heh (self-deprecating), but ......."

Li Wenzheng hesitated for a moment, then raised his head, looked at the silver-haired nun in front of him affectionately, and continued:

"I owe you a favor...... It's just too much. You are both the hero of my Kecheng and the savior of my son. I think... Even if I spend all my possessions, I will not be able to repay your kindness. So I don't know what to do with you......

Hearing this, the pseudo-Lori frowned at the rare understanding. He smiled wryly, his eyes glancing at the lower right corner, and scratching his cheeks a little crimson with his small hand wrapped in cloud sleeves.

That shy appearance is like a child who is at a loss when an adult praises him.

But under this cute appearance, Ninety-Nine's heart showed an expression of 'plan'.

"It's so cute." The old man thought softly to himself, and continued, "And, even if you don't think about it. The value of the design itself alone is more valuable than that of my entire Kecheng."

"So even if I want to buy and want to trade with you, I don't have any capital to trade with you."

The city lord smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Oh... Then you... Why did you suddenly come to me to make a deal today?"

The silver-haired young girl continued to maintain a heart-warming embarrassed smile and was curious.
