Chapter 35: Continuing the Two-in-One......
"The contemptible is Cartern Millod, the current head of the Millodes family, and please show me the token of Lord Rozval."
After hearing the same words three times, Wood and Caiyue couldn't help but have a little irritation on their faces.
Especially Caiyue Pleiades, after the last experience of being hacked to death with a knife, his eyes were full of vigilance when he looked at these people, and after getting off the dragon car, the whole person showed a high state of tension.
"Hello, my name is ...... Wood. ”
This self-introduction did not come from Wood's mouth, but from the mouth of Natsuki Pleiades.
The current situation is getting more and more incomprehensible, Wood only said to change the name, and didn't tell him anything else.
(With this ability, there is no one in this world you can trust except Emilia.) )
For some reason, this sentence that Wood said suddenly came to mind.
Cai Yue shook his head, he didn't continue to dwell on this issue, now there were more important things in front of him.
I've already died here twice, and if I don't learn my lesson, I might have a third and a fourth.
Let's sort it out carefully:
First, you must not be invited into the inner room by Catern alone, once you are invited into the inner room, you will inevitably face the poisonous cup, although it is okay not to drink it, but it will arouse Catern's suspicion, and it may even be framed by the real poisoner.
Second, you can't leave the hall at will, this mansion that covers a huge area is everywhere, I don't know how many enemies are hidden, and the only one who accidentally greets you is death.
Third, it is necessary to curry favor with four people who may become the next head of the family at the same time, although I don't know why...... But judging from the meaning of Wood's previous words, all four of them are likely to kill themselves.
Fourth, be careful of the girl who is about your age and try to keep your distance from her.
A hint of surprise flashed in Caiyue's eyes, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Wood, who was posing like a servant behind her.
I have to admit it.
This guy who seems to be just a child is indeed qualified to be his teacher in the world.
Because......
Wood had previously demonstrated to him how to deal with known dangers in the available intelligence.
Think about it, all the things Wood said...... It's all useful.
And this information is just the little monster's speculation based on the experience of less than an hour......
"I'm such an idiot." Natsuki smiled self-deprecatingly.
"What did you say, Lord Wood?"
"Nothing."
Natsuki shook her head.
Cartern's eyes flashed with a puzzled look at Caizuki's pleiades.
Although I don't know what happened, this young man, who was still a little nervous and timid when he got off the dragon car before, gave people a feeling that had completely changed, as if he had suddenly grown up.
Finally enlightened?
Wood looked at Natsuki in front of him, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.
Is Natsuki stupid?
Not stupid!
It should be said that on the contrary, Caiyue is actually a person with some brains, but that kind of character is a hard injury. Although the usual Caiyue Pleiades looks particularly confident and arrogant, this is to cover up his own lack of self-confidence.
Maybe it's a problem with the growth environment, maybe it's some setback, although Caiyue doesn't admit it in her heart, but subconsciously feels that she is a very mediocre person.
So in order not to make yourself look mediocre, always do something that can attract the attention of others, so that you will not be bleak; In order to maintain such a false 'self-esteem', it eventually evolved into the current arrogant and confident personality.
And what Wood is doing now is precisely to uncover that ridiculous layer of 'self-esteem', and only in this way can Caiyue Pleiades grow.
Although I don't know what exactly Rozval wants to do, compared to an arrogant fool, it is obviously ...... A person who recognizes himself is even more tricky.
"Lord Wood......"
Catern's voice came, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a wave of his hand.
"I'm not interested in answering any of your questions."
Caiyue glanced up at Catern: "I'm even more interested in wasting time on things that are 'already predestined', I'm just here to witness the succession ceremony of the head of the family, and by the way, bring back the succession certificate of the next head of the family, as for the other ......"
Cai Yue was stunned, and those somewhat vicious eyes swept over the four young masters of the Mirod family: "What you do has nothing to do with me. ”
The eyes of the four young masters of the Mirod family couldn't help but flash a different color.
"That's right."
Catern nodded, and a smile appeared on his old face: "Then tomorrow's succession ceremony for the head of the family will be entrusted to you." ”
At this moment, Second Young Master Bernard turned his head to look at Wood, who was following Cai Yue Yue without saying a word, and asked, "Lord Wood, is this friend your younger brother?" ”
Caiyue's expression remained unchanged when she heard this, but those eyes fell on the faces of the Bernard brothers.
"He's my bodyguard, and his name is ......"
"Natsuki Pleiades!"
"Hey, it's a guard?"
Bernard was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at Wood: "Little brother Caiyue is really young and promising, I really didn't expect you to be a guard just now." ”
When he said this, Caiyue's gaze was fixed on the four brothers, and finally fell on the face of the fourth young master, Wei Hailuo, according to Wood's previous words, this person's personality is more reckless, and generally ...... Such a person can't hide any secrets.
And just as he had guessed......
When he said the three words 'Caiyue Pleiades', the expression of this person called Wei Hailuo changed, and the corners of his mouth obviously showed a sneer.
Confirming this, Caiyue Yue was not very happy in her heart, and her mood became a little complicated.
Because he really couldn't figure it out...... Why did Rozval go to such great lengths to 'tease' himself?
Tease!
He could only think of the word, although he had never seen Rozval make a move, but judging from his messy name, if he wanted to kill himself, he would not have to work so hard, let alone agree to let Emilia entrust Wood to protect him.
Although......
This guy obviously has such strong strength, but he didn't protect himself at all.
Having said that, Cai Yue Pleiades couldn't help but show a smile on her face: "Although Cai Yue Yue is young, his skills are genuine, even Lord Rozval said that this child is talented, has good quality, and has unlimited future prospects, and he is also extremely handsome, and he is completely a representative figure of the two-dimensional flower man." ”
Sometimes, Wood actually admires this product......
Such shameless words can be said without blushing and panting.
"Uh... That's ......."
Bernard was stunned by the sudden compliment of Natsuki, and after laughing dryly, he turned his head and continued to walk forward, presumably because he felt that this guy called 'Wood' was a little difficult to communicate.
"Well, I'm doing pretty well."
Natsuki took a step back and said to Wood with a smug expression.
Wood didn't bother to talk nonsense with this thing, but covered it up with Caiyue's body, and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do next?" ”
"How?"
Caiyue was stunned when she heard this: "Of course I will live until tomorrow morning, and then leave this ghost place." ”
"Won't you take revenge?"
Wood glanced at the four people in front of him: "Anyway, you died here twice, why don't you just leave without doing anything?" A sneer appeared on his face: "It's very simple to live, as long as you don't act privately, no one should be able to kill you under my protection, but are you sure it's okay?" ”
Natsuki looked at Wood blankly, not knowing why...... I always feel that the smile on the face of the thing in front of me is a little lacking in morality.
But......
Indeed, as Wood said, it is very unpleasant to leave without doing anything.
"Of course ......"
A smile similar to Wood's appeared on Natsuki's face.
"No, you can't!"
I have to say......
Wood's attainments in misleading the children of people are unmatched, and another good boy has been led crooked by him.
However, Wood has never denied that he misled people's children......
Hearing Caiyue's reply, the smile on Wood's face became more and more immoral.
……
The banquet went on as scheduled, and just like the last time, the old family Cartern, who did not invite Caiyue into the inner room alone, apologized after a few pleasantries, and said that he had to prepare for tomorrow's trip, and then left the hall.
And Caiyue declined the invitation of the others and sat in a corner of the hall.
As soon as he sat down, Cai Yue looked for Wood in the hall, only to find Wood standing in the shadow of the light for a few minutes, giving people a very strange feeling, he was obviously standing there, but people subconsciously ignored it, as if he was in the background.
Even if he knew that Wood was in this hall and deliberately searched for him, it took him so long to find him.
This reminded Natsuki of the experience in the Rozval Mansion.
It's reducing the sense of presence again...... It's really a convenient ability.
Cai Yue pouted, although he didn't understand, but this bastard is so strong, standing there, no one may be able to kill him, as for so many moves?
"Brother Wood, I toast you."
A voice interrupted Caiyue's thoughts, and following the voice, he saw that the fourth young master Wei Hailuo had come to him at some point.
Are you coming?
Natsuki glanced at Wood a little strangely, but she didn't expect it to be as Wood expected.
Thinking of this, Caiyue smiled apologetically: "Lord Weihailuo, I'm a little overwhelmed." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the drink from the table and got up from the couch, recalling in his mind what Wood had said.
(…… If he asks you to talk, he will answer in as vague words as possible, as Lord Rozval often mentions of you. In short, if you don't tell him who the next head of the family will be, at the same time, you should give him the illusion that you are the next head of the family. )
"Let me bring a drink and toast Lord Wei Hailuo, I have admired you for a long time, and I can hear Lord Rozval mention you for a long time."
Wei Hailuo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face showed a touch of triumph, and his gaze at Cai Yue became much gentler: "This really flatters me, I didn't expect Lord Rozval to remember me." ”
After that, he picked up the wine glass and touched it with Caiyue Pleiades, and drank it all.
"Brother Wood, I'm going to trouble you to take care of me in the future."
"Don't worry."
Caiyue nodded at Wei Hailuo and said, "But ......" He looked left and right, leaned into Wei Hailuo's ear and said, "Brother, you have to be careful." ”
"Huh?"
Wei Hailuo was stunned: "What? ”
"Lord Rozval asked me to bring you a message, be careful of your second brother...... There is a very strong force behind him that is secretly supporting him. Caiyue swallowed her saliva: "The body of that force, Lord Rozval is inconvenient to reveal, but his identity and status are not much better than that of Lord Rozval." ”
What the?
Wei Hailuo's pupils shrank, and he looked at Cai Yue Yue with disbelief, and then smiled a little unnaturally: "Brother Wood, don't be joking." ”
Caiyue smiled when she heard this, but did not explain.
But this attitude made Wei Hailuo a little uneasy, although he was reckless, he was not so idiotic as to think that he could become the head of the family smoothly, and he had always been wary of his own brothers, and he also knew that the eldest and third had the support of their own forces and the local nobles of Rasmez respectively.
And although the forces behind him can't be on the surface, they are definitely not weaker than the boss and the third.
As for Bernard......
He has always behaved normally, as if he was not interested in the position of head of the family at all, and he has never noticed any power behind him.
"It's too clean, isn't it?"
Cai Yue suddenly said something inexplicable.
"Huh?"
Wei Hailuo looked at Caiyue Yue with a puzzled face: "What is too clean?" ”
"What if... I mean, if you become the head of the house, Lord Weihailuo. Cai Yue glanced behind Wei Hailuo, and a sneer appeared on her face: "I'm a more direct person, so I won't beat around the bush, once Lord Wei Hailuo becomes the head of the family, can you let those who peep into the position of the head of the family continue to stay here?" ”
Wei Hailuo laughed dryly: "I don't understand the meaning of your words, brother. ”
"You don't have to understand."
Cai Yue pouted: "The competition for the head of the family must be extremely fierce, even a fool knows this." If you really don't have any interest in the position of head of the family, you should just like your sister and not get involved directly, instead of coming here. ”
"Now that you're here... Either he is interested in the position of head of the family, or he is confident that he will be able to stand alone in this competition, and these two points ......"
"All need to have a certain amount of strength to support, but if he is not interested in the position of the head of the family and wants to be alone in this competition, he will inevitably let the 'strength' behind him surface and play a deterrent role."
"But now ......"
"Don't you think it's too clean?"
After the words fell, although Caiyue's face remained unchanged, her back was soaked in cold sweat.
All of this he said was taught by Wood, but Wood also said it...... These words are made when Wihairo is unaware of the forces behind Bernard; This was entirely Wood's personal opinion, because he felt that a man as smart as Bernard would never be discovered by his brothers if he wanted to hide.
So to be on the safe side, the first target chosen was Wei Hailuo, who had a more reckless personality.
"Brother Wood......"
Wei Hailuo laughed dryly: "I still have something to do, and I will definitely treat you grandly tomorrow." ”
Cai Yue nodded and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Although there is no direct answer......
But this reaction should be fine.
Own task has been completed, as for the rest......
Natsuki glanced in the direction where Wood was, and found that Wood, who was still there before, had disappeared at some point.
It's all up to that perverted little ghost.
