Thinking of this, Cecil was embarrassed to say to Ophelina, "Thank you." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"You're welcome, it's just getting the most out of it." Ophelina said lightly. For the effect of this gift, Ophelina is also quite satisfied, in fact, the nobles' bets in the gladiatorial battles with the knights are just some small bets for pleasure, and they will not place heavy bets such as 5 million gold coins, and Ophelina and the young nobleman Marog only bet 500,000 yuan. The reason why I want to talk to Cecil about 5 million is because I hope that Cecil's move to win over Cecil will not be so deliberate and cause the other party to be disgusted. In fact, after seeing Cecil's move, Ophelina had already had the idea of further wooing Cecil to make him a confidant of the Earl's Court, and it was a natural move to buy this necklace at auction and give it to him. Ophelina is a delicate person and good at controlling people's hearts, and she is indeed a very powerful character.

Cecil wanted to find some topics to lighten the mood as much as possible, so he asked, "What is really surprising at the auction, the items are extremely precious treasures, is this the case at every auction of the nobles' banquets?" ”

"How is that possible", said Ophelina, "there are so many high-quality lots today, the first is that the royal families of four countries participated in the auction, and the second is that many of the lots are actually targeted auctions, many of which were originally intended for that owner, and the auction is just a cover." “

"How is that possible!" Cecil was shocked: "Is there any evidence?" ”

"What more proof is needed," Ophelina said as she suddenly laughed, as if laughing at Cecil's ignorance, "the epic necklace I competed with Calis is the best example of this. ”

"You mean the necklace itself is meant for the princess?" Cecil asked incredulously.

"Although I can't be sure, but eight or nine are not far from ten, and the auction in that state is no different from giving it to her, because the people on the field are not competitive." Ophelina replied lazily.

"Then you're still so aggressive." Cecil said puzzled.

"If this is a play, the princess sings the leading role, someone must sing the supporting role, and there is nothing wrong with me and Caris playing a supporting role for the princess, not to mention that the necklace really makes my heart move, if I can, I ........ it"

Ophelina looked like she was about to speak, but Cecil clearly understood what she meant. Indeed, for Ophelina's temple profession, that amulet was indeed a dream thing, and even if it was only theoretically possible, she didn't want to give it up.

"I understand," said Cecil, who thought that his low status had been discriminated against by the nobles, and it seemed that Ophelina was also troubled by this, and it seemed that if a person did not stand on the highest place, he would always be exposed to the light of those who were higher than himself, and that was not a pleasant feeling.

Ophelina continued: "Even more obvious than this necklace is the golden apple, this kind of thing can cause war, but except for the Arrow Empire, the other three countries did not even fight, isn't it strange?" ”

"You mean that the ownership of the golden apple has been discussed beforehand?" Cecil touched his head and asked.

"It's obvious, okay, I'm afraid only newcomers like you can't see the trick in it." Ophelina replied with a smile.

It turned out to be like this, Cecil didn't expect that the water in it was still so deep, and there would be so many famous people in a small auction.

"There are so many .......famous people in one small auction," says Ophelina.

Cecil was taken aback, and almost said how did you say what was in my heart.

"I'm afraid there will be a war." Ophelina said.

"Really?" Cecil's heart suddenly stirred, war was a great opportunity for everyone who wanted to make a name for themselves.

"Judging from the current situation, it should be the four human empires joining forces, and the goal is the Demon Gate." Ophelina said firmly.

"But isn't the Demon Gate always at war? It's been hundreds of years, and it's never broken. Cecil asked.

"The scale of the war may increase, I don't know what those top brass think, but it is true in terms of recent developments."

The reason why Ophelina said this to Cecil was actually planning to put him in the Count's inner circle, so she told Cecil what she knew, hoping to make him feel close and dependent on her. It should be said that after Cecil showed his strength today, Ophelina was already determined to make great efforts to win him over.

Of course, there was a bit of a holiday between the two parties who had ruined Cecil's marriage before, but it was nothing, with Cecil's current ability, he was helping him arrange a suitable marriage. A paladin of Cecil's calibre would inevitably greatly strengthen the Earl's Court. If he can advance to the Holy Rank in the future, then he will undoubtedly be the number one powerhouse in the Earl's Court.

Cecil didn't expect Ophelina to have so many thoughts, but Ophelina told him so many things, and even a lot of the Earl used his connections to find out the secret information, Cecil still had a warm feeling in his heart, feeling that he was being valued, thinking that Ophelina was still a very reasonable person.

The two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, and in a blink of an eye the carriage had entered the Earl's Palace, and Ophelina invited Cecil to stay in the guest rooms of the Earl's Court for one night, but Cecil politely declined, so Ophelina sent a carriage to send Cecil back.

It was already 2 a.m. when the carriage took Cecil back to his house, and Cecil was about to enter the house when he suddenly found someone waiting for him outside the door. Cecil looked closely at the fact that it was a blonde girl, and it was none other than Anne.

Cecil was very happy to see Anne, but also surprised, he had not been alone with Anne since returning to the royal city, and he happily greeted Anne: "Anne, why are you here so late?" “

Anne said unhappily, "You don't seem to want me to come." ”

Cecil didn't know why Anne was upset again, and said strangely, "You don't seem to be happy?" ”

"It's okay for you to accompany your hostess, whatever I do if I'm happy or not." Anne pouted.

Cecil was very unhappy with this "hostess", and what annoyed him the most was that others called him as a subordinate, but this was a hierarchical world. But through this sentence, he also knew why Anne was so unhappy. Is this little girl jealous? Cecil thought.

Cecil hurriedly said to Anne: "Miss Ophelina is looking for me, I have no reason to refuse as a knight, and besides, you have also seen that the relationship between me and her is also very normal, how can it be so obscene as you say." ”

"What is a very normal relationship between superiors and subordinates, who knows what you two are doing in the carriage." Anne continued to be upset.

It turned out that she watched herself and Ophelina come back in the same carriage, although Cecil had a clear conscience and did not do anything out of the circle, but he knew that continuing to explain this matter to Anne at this time would only get darker and darker.

"I'm sorry Anne, I didn't know you were going too, you see, you didn't bring a mage apprentice, you had already said that you would take me with you, I would never go out with that count's daughter." Cecil began to use sycophancy tactics to divert the subject.

"You stupid person, who wants you to be an apprentice!" Anne said angrily.

Cecil saw that although Anne's tone was still very angry, she obviously stopped talking about herself and Ophelina, and her tactics were obviously successful, and she was quite proud in her heart.

"It doesn't matter if you think I'm stupid, I can learn again, just ask Annie to give me a chance to play the mage." Cecil knew what to do at this time, and said to Anne shamelessly.

Looking at Cecil's appearance, Anne couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I don't really like the days back in Intramus, I still like the days when we were out on adventures." Anne said faintly.

Seeing Anne's sincere appearance, Cecil was also a little moved. "What's so difficult about this, after a while, I will ask for leave with the temple and the earl to go out to practice, you can go with me."

"Really, that's a deal!"

Anne said happily, but then Anne's expression darkened again, "I'm afraid it's not possible in the near future, the teacher said that the kingdom may need to use troops, and you may need to go on an expedition." ”

Cecil had just heard about the recent big battle in the conversation with Ophelina, and it seemed that Anne had also received the news from Archmage Antonio.

"It's okay, the war will always end, I'll take you there then." Cecil comforted.

Anne shook her head: "No, I don't want to leave you. ”

"This ......... If the kingdom really wants to fight, I can't disobey the kingdom's order and then go to the mercenary guild to find someone to replace it, I used to go to the mercenary guild to hire people to help me fight, and the Earl had warned me last time, so if the kingdom still wants to organize an army, I will definitely have to go out myself. Cecil said embarrassedly.

"That's not what I meant." Anne said with a sudden smile.

"And what do you mean?" Cecil asked, confused.

"Sell it first, and you'll know when the time comes." After Anne finished laughing, she suddenly jumped up and kissed Cecil, and then ran back with a smile, leaving Cecil in the same place.

Cecil couldn't help but have some sweet feelings in his heart when he looked at Anne's distant figure, and he happily returned home thinking about it.
