The soft glow of dusk spills into the study, and the golden luster contrasts with the antique furniture, so that those who have come down can't help but want to take a nap.

Zhu Ping sat behind the desk, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the tabletop, trying to clear his mind by relying on his brain that didn't rust for a long time.

The king sent the gem and postponed the Holy Battle by another day.

There is no doubt that this is a gesture of goodwill.

Why did he do so many things before and handed so many "knives", but the old king just didn't accept it, but chose to show favor now?

If the person behind the mysterious nobles of the wolf's den is the king, it is very likely that the purpose of his overtures is to test me?

It shouldn't be!

Isn't temptation supposed to add stress to me? How can there be an unconditional overture?

Of course, there are other possibilities: the person behind the scenes is not the old king.

And the old king sensed that the situation in Orlanton was not right now, and began to consolidate his forces...... This possibility is also there, and it is very large. ”

The situation is becoming more and more confusing.

There is no doubt that taking over the old king's overtures at this time and tying the Hall family to the old king's big ship is the best choice at present.

It's never feasible to look on the wall!

If the situation in Orlanton really explodes, then there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat outside the power field, and it may even become the first explosion point of the powder keg.

If the old king wants to get closer, he can get closer! As long as you stay awake at all times and be careful of anyone, then this transaction is a sure bet......

After going through the matter for the time being, the remaining day is more than the time to prepare, Zhu Ping will call Na Da and Na Er back, and at the same time invite the old craftsman over.

Gather all your strength to help yourself "sharpen your gun".

Previously, Zhu Ping was in the forest against the wizard, surrounded by towering giant trees as a cover, and there were countless covers around the warriors to dodge and carry out sneak attacks.

It's like an assassin crouching in the grass attacking a crispy mage.

To a certain extent, it can not only bridge the gap between melee and range, but also allow warriors to fight beyond the ranks.

No matter what the world, warriors and grass have an indissoluble bond.

However, this time, Baron Peggy was very chicken thieves and set the location of the battle in the Gem Square on the street, a ghost place paved with ore and not even a root of grass would grow.

Apparently, Peggy's furious giant baby has a smart man behind her.

And since Zhu Ping knew in advance, and there was a day to prepare, he had to be ready, although his brain was not as rusty as those big guys, but squeezing some lubricating oil in it, it was more or less active.

Verbal pressure, equipment against the enemy, combat methods...... All kinds of routines are gradually formed in the chest.

……

The Palace of the Kingdom of Orlandon.

This building in the heart of the capital is stacked with precious stones, metals, and woods in a way that is full of them.

It is indefatigable to associate with gorgeous, elegant, and artistic...... and many other lofty words.

Beneath the "Jewel-encrusted Crown of Pure Gold" was a gray-haired old man sitting on a high throne, his eyes slightly closed, as if he were dozing off, and looking closely at the gap that remained.

This old king with a furrowed face did not have the majesty that ordinary people imagined, and despite the gorgeous attire on his body, he looked like an amiable ordinary old man.

His name is Jill Orlanton, and he is the king of Orlanton, and strictly speaking, the first king of Orlandon.

Now this "ordinary old man", who is close to 200 years old, overthrew the cruel rule of the previous king and established the Kingdom of Orlanton when he was only twenty years old.

Although magic can stimulate his life force and prolong his life, there is also a limit to increasing his lifespan with various extraordinary supplements.

The two-hundred-year-old Jill Orlanton is close to the limit of a low-level wizard, and now spends most of his day asleep, waking for less than three hours.

The chief guard waited quietly outside, he didn't dare to take a step forward until the old king woke up, as a guard, he knew the thunderous means of this ordinary old man.

"Come in!" The voice of the old king came from inside the palace.

The chief of the guard walked in respectfully, half-knelt on the ground, and saluted, "I have seen His Majesty the King." ”

The king said listlessly, "Have you sent anything out?" ”

"Back to the king, the things have been sent, and Baron Hall has accepted the gift." The chief of the guard replied truthfully.

The old king, who was in a high position, began to be silent, not knowing what he was thinking, so that the whole palace could hear the needle, and the chief of the guard did not dare to gasp.

About a minute later.

King Gil Ollanton asked, "Did he have a reluctant expression when he accepted the gift of precious stones?" ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Hall did not hesitate to accept the gift, and he also showed goodwill to the minister, who felt that he was quite personable and spoke well......," the chief of the guard subconsciously said two kind words.

The king suddenly interrupted, "Raise your head." ”

When the chief of the guard looked up, he saw that the king's eyes were staring at him, and for a moment he felt as if he was being targeted by a flood beast, and in a moment he was frightened into a cold sweat.

He hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your ...... If the minister said the wrong thing, please punish your majesty. ”

The king waved his hand, and his voice was like a machine, without any emotion, and said, "Go down!" ”

"Thank you for the kindness of His Majesty the King." When the chief guard got up, the placket of his shirt was already soaked with sweat.

The old king was the only one left in the huge palace, and he bowed his head and muttered, "Zhuping Hall......"

……

Two days later, in the early morning.

It's located on the Upper Street in Orlanton's Gem Plaza.

It is the largest open-air square and park in the city and even in the entire capital.

This "landmark", with its floors paved with cut almost square stone slabs, is made of luxurious and exquisite workmanship, symbolizing the strength of Orlanton's national power.

At this time.

Dozens of nobles arrived one after another, they were the most lively melon-eating crowd in Orlanton, from balls and banquets to bullfights and cockfights.

In fact, it is normal that this group of nobles has a large number of votes in their hands, and they can't spend enough money, and as the number of poor people grows, they are getting more and more huge assets

In addition, they usually have nothing to do, so can they just join in the fun and polish time?

In a sense, they really have a good impression of Zhuping Hall, because these days, they rely on Zhuping Hall's news to relieve their boredom.

Before, some people thought that Zhuping Hall was a reckless man, and some people thought that he was a clever man......

However, when Baron Peggy's invitation to the sacred duel was announced, they were shocked, and they didn't bother to pick up the melon in their hands when it fell to the ground.

Zhuping Hall?

Is it stupid?

At this moment, no matter whether this group of people despise or disdain Zhuping Hall, absolutely no one dares to say that he is stupid.

From a little over a month ago, they thought that Zhuping Hall had been robbed of his assets by Peggy and George, and there was nothing they could do.

Outcome...... What people get in exchange is a vein.

Later, they saw that Peggy and George relied on their strong connections to terminate the deal and take away Zhupin Hall's veins, and this guy's little plan finally failed!

Outcome...... Only now did I find out that the veins were all fake.

This group of melon-eating people ate one melon after another, and only after eating did they find out that they were fake, fake, and even the melons were fake.

They were really shocked!

Because they really laughed at Zhuping Hall again and again for being bullied, using him as a talking point and a laughing stock.

As a result, not only Peggy and George were deceived by him, but there was also no one left of these melon-eating people who secretly laughed at him, and they all fell into the trap he calculated.

Now the style of the melon-eating aristocrats has also changed.

"Hall, this guy I have long thought that something is wrong with him, he has a thief's eyebrows, and he has no honest quality at first glance."

"I've seen it a long time ago, but I just didn't say it."

"Hehe, such a simple trick can be deceived, how stupid must the deceived person be?"

“……”

At this point, there was nothing else in their eyes when they looked at Peggy, they were full of ridicule and sympathy.

It's not good to mess with anyone, you have to mess with this old silver coin!

The sun is gradually climbing to the top of the sky, and the sun is getting hotter and hotter.

When the melon-eating nobles saw Zhuping Hall coming over, they looked extremely vigilant.

It's all fake, it's all fake, Zhuping Hall, who came over at this time, isn't it...... Also fake.

The expressions of this group of people are so strange...... Zhu Ping greeted them politely as usual when he walked over, but the eyes of these people seemed to be avoiding him.

"Am I being handsome again lately, and they are ashamed of themselves?" Zhu Ping rubbed his chin, he really couldn't find a better way to answer it than this answer.

Seeing Zhu Ping coming, Peggy was not as annoyed as he was in his own castle, and the "elegance" of the nobility was engraved in his bones, allowing him to whitewash his inner mania.

"The weather is nice!" Zhu Ping greeted in a relaxed tone.

This is not just pretending, but also putting pressure on the other party.

Because he had read a theory before, when the enemy estimates his own state of mind, as long as his performance exceeds the enemy's assumptions, then, even if the enemy is prepared, will subconsciously increase the tension of being out of control.

"Zhuping Hall, is the vein you said true or false? Why lie to us? Peggy's words showed that he still had hope in the veins.

Zhu Ping's face was full of doubts: "When did I lie to you?" When did I say there was a vein? ”

"You said it was in the arbitral tribunal." Peggy's eyes lit up.

"Oh! I seem to have said it, I forgot. Zhu Ping tilted his head and couldn't help laughing: "It's not my fault!" I told you not to buy it, didn't you listen? ”
