Chapter 16: The Radiance of the Sage

Lexya: There were six of them here.

Among them, the one wearing a short yellow skirt and blinking curiously and looking around was Sufina in disguise.

The plan I heard from Lexya was that they used the identity of a certain merchant to conduct some kind of underground transaction with this nobleman.

As for what the transaction is, it doesn't matter in itself.

Its nature determines that the transaction itself cannot be publicized, which is beneficial to Lexya and them, and they deliberately do so.

Not only the ruffians and mercenaries in the slums licking blood on their knives, but also the nobles and magnates liked to talk during meals.

Hearty meals seem to be just for the conversation itself as an embellishment and buffer.

When it comes to money, the middle-aged aristocrat shows a cunning that is different from usual.

His eyes were always shining, and he fought with Lexya to the end for the sake of a little profit.

Usually aristocrats don't think money is very important and squander it, but at the moment they are like a miser who picks the door.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to fight for a face, a little money is not much more valuable to them than those poor people.

What they want is vanity in the transaction itself, and of course, it's not the same if the money involved is beyond their bottom line.

Lexya and the others are a shrewd group of conspirators, and if they want to get the deal done, it's easy to get a little bit of a fetish for the nobility.

But for them, the transaction is not important, and the delay in time is exactly what they need.

The windows in the hall were open, and the night breeze blew in to bring a bit of coolness, and the sound of rustling outside sounded, as if it was the sound of some small animal passing through the grass.

Joshua noticed a smile creeping up in Lexya's group.

"The price you said is so low that it is unacceptable, and only the uncivilized barbarians will be deceived by you!"

The middle-aged nobleman blushed and spat red, very excited.

"Then I'm sorry, honorable gentleman."

As soon as Lexya's words turned, the middle-aged nobleman was stunned, he didn't understand a little, shouldn't the other party be justified and fight for a little more interests with him at this time?

Then the next moment, he saw more than a dozen black shadows suddenly appearing, and he immediately reacted.

"Offending a nobleman is intolerable," he exclaimed, "and I will issue your wanted warrants in the Parliament to keep you in the shadows for the rest of your life!" ”

Lexya stared at the middle-aged nobleman silently and said, "We don't mean to be offended, but your greed really makes us intolerable. ”

Greedy?

Damn, I just asked for a little extra money, which is a fraction of the total amount of the transaction!

No matter how the middle-aged nobleman knows, he is calculated!

Those people in the shadows easily tied up everyone except the middle-aged nobles, including Joxiu.

This made Josius look at Lexya silently, and he knew it was for an unknowable change.

"Jares."

"Okay, master."

A thin young man stepped out of the Lexya group, their disguises never removed.

"Tsk, a noble ** puppet, it's exciting to think about."

Jareth licked his tongue and walked up to the middle-aged nobleman with a sinister smile, he tried to struggle to escape, but was held down by two black shadows.

He looked at Jareth in horror and said, "You—What do you want to do!?" For such an act, the parliament can sentence you to death! ”

"You want to say, it's too late for me to stop now?"

Jeris laughed mockingly, and then his expression suddenly cooled—

"The clamor of words is just the struggle of the weak!"

He reached out with his right hand and grabbed the middle-aged nobleman's head hard.

The nobleman, who was still trying to get rid of it, slowly became unfocused, and his limbs slowly relaxed.

Seeing this, Joxiu raised his eyebrows, and Jeris probably wiped out the other party's consciousness.

"His part-time job is soul-savvy, Warlock?"

This type of profession is rare, especially among the Terrans.

However, since the other party is a fool, this seems to be normal.

After all, fools are a strange bunch of people.

Jares pursed his lips and said, "The soul of a nobleman is really as fragile as a blank sheet of paper. ”

"The mark of the envoy has been planted, and now it is possible to control him initially."

According to Joxiu, this is only the most rudimentary ** puppet, and it still needs to be "processed" in the later stage.

Otherwise, the ** puppet is no different from ordinary mind control.

In fact, ** puppets are also puppets derived from mind control, the former is more perfect, but also more cruel.

In fact, they had already found out the details of the nobles beforehand, including the location of the mine where the fraudulent gem was located.

At this moment, they pretended not to know, and "threatened" Joxiu to lead the way, while the middle-aged nobleman was beside Lexya.

When the guards of the territory saw their lord, they saluted.

Even if it was night when the lord was traveling with a group of people, they did not doubt, or rather, did not dare to question.

Who could have imagined the fetishes of the aristocracy?

Since there is even such an existence as a male pet, it is not so strange to take guests on a trip at night, right?

As for things like kidnapping, they didn't think about it here, after all, it was absurd to blatantly hold a nobleman in a territory.

So, without making much of a splash in the territory, the group rode their horses to the gem mines.

The workers who were on guard there flattered their benefactor and flattered him, and when they saw that the nobleman himself had shown little show, they got out of the way.

Fawning is not really about gaining the favor of the nobility, but simply to avoid finding a reason for disgust.

Trying to make a living under a nobleman is even more difficult than working in those black-hearted merchants.

But the generous remuneration is the reason why they are eager to go.

"There's nothing wrong with the quarry."

A dark shadow who had gone to investigate returned to Lexya to report the situation.

Long ago, they had checked the situation of the mine and confirmed it again and again before deciding to start.

Acting before you act has always been the creed of fraudsters.

Lexya glanced at Joshua, although it was a puppet and couldn't make any eyes or expressions, Joshua also knew that he was confused.

In fact, not to mention Lexya, Joshu himself began to be a little confused.

Could it be that your own analysis is wrong? Lexya's disaster, in fact, after this incident?

"No, that's not right!"

Joxiu suddenly thought of the worker who had just come to curry favor and then left.

It's not that there's anything strange about his performance, but his eyes, more, seem to be looking!

Lexya and the others have been focusing on the "unknown change", but they have ignored the worker.

Or is there something that they ignore it?

Joshua couldn't help it, and was about to remind Leksya, but suddenly, a dazzling light appeared, enveloping everyone.

On the forehead, symbols appeared, which were the marks of the fool.

"Is this ...... The sage's brilliance!? ”

"It's miserable!"

ps: It's still disconnected, ahhh

If we don't have the Internet, we're going to collapse! Our mobile phone traffic...... It's so boring to be bored at home...... (Crazy)
