At the Mildern Mansion, Finn listened for a while at the door of Sahina's room under "house arrest", and the three witches, Fini, Elle, and Insi, played poker with Sahina, and confirmed that there was no problem, and he walked towards the living room where the attendants rested.

As soon as she entered the living room, the black-haired girl with two ponytails jumped up from the sofa.

Josie turned her head to the side and said in a hard tone, "I—I have something to look for you!"

"What's the matter?"

Finn frowned, Josie's posture was still the same, but the urgency just now, as well as the redness and swelling in his eyes, were unusual.

"I—I've thought it through," Josie simply turned her back to him.

"The Storm Islands are indeed too boring, and it is not bad to go to the mainland to live happily. But even if the Duke intervenes and asks me to terminate the contract with the family, it will not be easy, at least after the celebration. Until then, I have to complete my mission and stay with the Duke. If you don't worry about me, you can tie me a forbidden rope so that even if I have to do something, I have to untie the rope before I can use magic. ”

After listening to her finish in one breath, Finn sighed, "You memorized it many times, right?"

Josie's body trembled slightly, and the amplitude of the trembling of the double ponytails was clearly visible: "You, what are you talking about, what are you talking about!?"

Finn said, "If you want me to believe it, turn around, look me in the eye and say it again." ”

Josie froze, and Finn continued, "You were originally sent by Lord Zold, and he just wanted to curry favor with the Duke, so he didn't dare to use a typical assassin or spy candidate who was good at acting, or who knew mind spells. And what you're good at is combat, it's a plastic spell, and you're not good at lying at all. ”

The trembling of the ponytails intensified, and Josie turned abruptly, revealing a teary-eyed face.

She clenched her fists, trying to restrain herself from kneeling or hugging Finn, and said miserably, "Help me, Finn." ”

..................

Dresses escorted Richie and Tina back to the mansion, and he endured a lot of hardship along the way.

Entering the mansion, in the porch that confirmed that the Mildern family could not be watched, he finally spoke: "Duke, you are indeed the Son of Dawn, not only the Son of Dawn of Shadow City, but also the ...... of the entire Finn"

Li Qi waved his hand: "All the people in the Fei Gong are the sons of Dawn, not just me." ”

Sigh again: "The Storm Islands are wells, and the dawn does not reach the depths. It's only the midday sun, and it's not time yet. ”

The secrets of the Underworld, the misery of the Shadow City, and the widespread slavery, the Storm Isles mages encapsulate almost all the evils of mortal society. Judging by Crimson Justice, the necessity and priority of overthrowing the tyrannical rule of these magicians is higher than pushing for a religious revolution on the mainland.

But the revolutionary cause is about the overall situation, and the historical process of the Finn continent is more important than that of the Storm Islands. Only by pushing the revolution on the mainland into a new stage as soon as possible can the Crimson Revolution gain more fertile soil.

The Storm Isles possess the most advanced magical technology in Finn, and the mage is the representative of advanced productivity. The fact that the Storm Islands have been able to stand for tens of thousands of years, the oppression of Shadow City for thousands of years, and the internal resistance is extremely weak, which proves that the production relations and productivity of the Storm Islands at this stage are commensurate.

Unless more advanced productive forces than mages are developed and widespread changes in the relations of production are promoted, there is no way to completely eliminate the slave society of the Storm Isles.

The little boy that Li Qi threw out at auction represents a more advanced productive force, which naturally makes the magician panic and fear, but this is only a point.

To completely eliminate the old society of mages is equivalent to condensing all the progress of the Crimson Revolution to the Storm Islands, pointing to the proletarian ...... in the later period No, the class revolution without faith.

Because time has been drastically compressed, the untrustworthy class of the Storm Islands that the Fei Gong can rely on is too weak to not only complete such a task. He will also put himself in danger of destruction because he faces demigods and even gods.

From the very beginning, the Fernando policy towards the Storm Islands was to allow magicians to fully integrate into the historical process of the Finn continent and join the positive and progressive side. Whether it's losing a little boy, exploring Shadow City, or solving an old pervert, all actions are aimed at this goal.

From the point of view of the righteousness of the revolution, the Fei Communist Party should stand with the Night Society. But looking at the big picture of the revolution, the best option for the CCP was to support the Dawning Society and improve the treatment of the Shadow City and all slaves, rather than a radical and violent revolution.

This is also an emotional and intellectual choice......

However, this does not mean that nothing will be done to the Dark Night Society, to the revolutionaries who are determined to resist.

Li Qi activates Bilib Boy and edits a command in an AR mode that is invisible to others.

"2,000 magic guns, 400,000 bullets......"

"1,000 magic fire bombs, 20,000 rounds of ammunition......"

"Two hundred magic torches and four thousand rounds of ammunition......"

"All excitation devices adapted to the ...... of the Dark Night Profession"

"5,000 pieces of spider silk soft armor......"

"Standard Legion Armor 3,000 Sets ......"

"1,000 sets of standard legion swords and shields......"

"5,000 Standard Legion Medical Kits......"

"Magic Crystals ......"

"A few ...... of the Divine Crystal"

Calling Gambitt, the two put their arms together, and transmitted the instructions to him.

Litch commanded: "Send someone to College Island to send an order for Artur to go outside the barrier of the Storm Islands and use the Book of Trade Winds to find Timmy Osquim." Let's just say that I need it urgently, let her use the Porta Worm to teleport things over, and I will replenish this batch of supplies for her soon. I'll also contact Rowanna and ask her to send a reliable person to Academy Island to help transport these supplies into Shadow City. ”

Gambit nodded solemnly, this batch of supplies can't make any waves in the Storm Islands, but if Vance's violent resistance is sincere, the Fei Gong can't completely sit idly by.

Having dealt with the matter, I went to see Phine, Eliens, and the three witches were playing poker in Sahina's room. Everyone had a note on their faces, and when they saw that Li Qi just beckoned, and then gritted his teeth and shook the cards, he was completely red-eyed, and Li Qi couldn't help them.

Back in the bedroom, the communication ring on the table was flashing blue, and it was Hathaway's message.

"Your Excellency the Duke, the first gift you will receive at the Mildern Family's Plane Celebration. The other two are fine, but there are still some details that need to be worked out, and they will be sent to you at the latest before the reorganization meeting. ”

Hathaway's tone was stiff, clearly upset that he had dropped the Messenger Ring. This is also normal, and it is clear that they don't trust her. However, at present, she is not finding fault in her official affairs.

The major families agreed to the first request, which made Li Qi breathe a sigh of relief. This request was not a whim, but a change in the situation, and he judged that Perrot had most likely fallen to the Fragrance faction.

This change in the Mildern family will not only seriously threaten the safety of the team, but will also defeat the initial goal of this trip to the Storm Islands, and it is very likely that he will not be able to get Vicky.

Coupled with the fact that Zelder was restrained by the family and failed to play any role in the Storm Isles, Litch simply added the settlement of Perro and the fact that Zelder was in charge of the Mildern family.

It seems that not only Menesus and Hathaway, but also other large families are also dissatisfied with Perot's wall-riding behavior, and they quickly reached an agreement.

The reason why Rolfon-Gazrion and even the entire Gazrion family were killed at the beginning, from the perspective of the Storm Islands, was more of an attempt to monopolize the floating crystal resources and the generalized floating ship technology. But if Roerfeng did not persecute Theresia to the death because of riding the wall, but resolutely fell to Theresia, the other big families would not dare to join forces to solve him.

"By the way, His Excellency the Duke seems to be very dissatisfied with Sashina, and it seems that all the rumors against you and Theresia are false. ”

Hathaway changed her tone and spoke in a sarcastic tone about her private life.

"As far as I know, you don't have any intimacy with the girls around you, and that's not in line with Theresia's judgment of you. ”

What do you mean by "necessary intimacy"? Are you Finn magicians so morally degraded that being clean is a disease? Or like the Earth World, looking at a single dog is like looking at a tenth-degree disability?

Wait, looking at it this way, the magicians of the Finn world and the magicians of the Earth world are completely a reflection of each other......

"Don't you like her blonde hair, but you like my brunette, do you want me to change Sakhina to a brunette?"

If that's not teasing, then it means you're subconsciously excluding yourself, right? Or even like Little Red Riding Hood calls herself "Little White", thinking that you are not of the same race as me?

"The brunette doesn't seem to be good, you didn't do anything to that brunette girl in the Mildern family, it's really strange, do you have a sexual~ orientation problem?"

This is already a personal attack by Chi Guoguo, and Richie can't figure out whether Hathaway is angry because he doesn't trust her enough, or if he doesn't wear the ring she gave him with him, after all, it's a woman.

There's no orientation at all, okay? Of course, if you're asking about gender, that's a bit ....... Minor issues.

Hathaway's message ended with a snorting sneer, which gave Richie a headache as to what expression to use next time they met.

These words accumulated pressure in Rich's heart, and he thought of Zold.

Just as he was about to call Zold, Finn asked to see him.

Finn also brought someone with her, it was Josie, she knelt in front of Richie, and said with tears in her eyes, "Duke, save me!"

Because of her eagerness, she couldn't say it clearly for a while, so she kowtowed to Pengpeng.

Li Qi waved his hand: "Go to the terrace ......"

The bedroom was already under the watchful eye of the Mildern family, because it was too obvious, and this was one of the bases on which Litchie judged that Perro had fallen to the Fragrance faction.

The terrace is a place that cannot be covered by surveillance, and when it reaches the terrace, Josie kneels down again, and Richie looks at Finn.

Finn sighed, "She said that if she could no longer serve with the Duke, the family would strip her of her magical abilities and send her to the Magic Tower for experimentation. ”

Li Qi was speechless, but fortunately he just asked to follow him instead of lying on the bed......

He asked, "What do you think?"

Finn must want to let him help Josie, but how to help depends on what he thinks.

The answer surprised Rich: "I just think that the Mildern family should let the cardinal know about the pressure on Josie." As far as my duties are concerned, I do not want the cardinal to agree, out of sympathy or for other reasons, which would be a serious security risk. ”

Josie looked at Finn in amazement, obviously not expecting Finn to have such an attitude.

"If what you say is true, as believers in the Crimson Lady, of course we will not ignore it, let alone ......"

Li Qi looked at Finn deeply, and the Thorn Fortress bowed his head in shame, and the unfinished meaning of his words naturally understood.

Finn opened his mouth again, wanting to emphasize that he didn't love or anything, but just wanted to take care of him like a sister and make up for the shortcomings of his youth. But looking at Li Qi's clear eyes, I felt that there was no need to say it.

But Finn's words also make sense, we can't break the rules and regulations because of sympathy, and we won't let personal feelings prevail over ...... above official duties. ”

Li Qi's words made Josie's heart sink into the abyss, although she had expected the result, but this feeling of powerlessness like fluttering in the wind and completely unable to control her own destiny was the first time she had deeply tasted it.

For a moment she didn't even have the strength to speak, and she propped herself on the ground with both hands, allowing tears to fall to the ground.

"Let me think about ......"

Li Qi pinched his chin and groaned, in fact, this matter is easy to solve, and in another day, Pei Luo will be finished. As long as Josie is dragged through and does not fall into this whirlpool, she can get through this difficult time and move towards a bright future.

But he couldn't have said this directly to Josie, which made Pero wary. The current Josie is a quantum double ponytail Lori who superimposes two different attributes of sincere help and loyal family, and cannot confirm the true state.

"That's it......"

Richie was looking for Zold, and Zord should be able to help with that. Besides, Josie was originally his person, but because of a slave of the level of a contract magician, the final control was in the hands of the patriarch, and Zolde only had the right to use it.

"You go to Zold's side for a few days, and if Patriarch Pero asks, say that I want you to do something over there, specifically...... You'll know when you go. Don't worry about the family pushing you too much, Zolde can protect you. When the matter of the High Council is settled, I will discuss your whereabouts with Patriarch Pero. I'll buy your contract if you want. ”

After Li Qi finished speaking, Josie looked up, her face full of surprise.

Although I can't continue to practice magic, it's better than the patriarch...... No, it's much better for that half-elf old bitch to decide her life and death in a word, and ......

Josie looked at Finn, the relief on the "uncle's" face was very obvious, and she also looked at the duke with gratitude, indicating that the duke's decision should have taken a lot of effort.

Being able to be with this "uncle", no matter what happens in the future, at least it seems to feel good now, and the Duke is indeed a good person.

Li Qi said again: "Of course, this is only an ideal situation, if the family still persecuts you, and even Zolde can no longer protect you, then you can only rely on yourself." Whether it's pretending to be sick or injured, or even temporarily escaping, in short, you can't get to us anymore, otherwise you'll ......"

He didn't say anything more, and Finn left with Josie.

On the way, Josie couldn't help but ask, "The duke hasn't finished his words yet, otherwise what?"

Finn said lightly: "Otherwise, what happens after that will be the job of our guards." ”

Looking at the little face with pear blossoms and rain, the sky was sunny and bright after the rain just now, and Finn's tone did not change: "As an enemy, don't kill it." ”

Josie shuddered, and then smiled sweetly: "How could I do such a thing that is obviously sent to death." ”

..................

On the terrace, Li Qi said to Zolde through the teleportation ring, "You must participate in the celebration the day after tomorrow, right?"

Zold's tone was bitter: "It was originally certain, but now we have to work hard." Richie, what you did at the auction made me miserable. Now that my father has not allowed me to leave Silver City, and has taken back a lot of things that I used to be in charge of, even Vicky, you may not be able to do it, alas, what the hell do you think?"

Li Qi said: "Is it that those small and medium-sized families who followed you were also miserable?"

"That's another thing," Zord sighed, "but they were really miserable, and they were all very excited, thinking that they could turn over by that law, but they didn't expect it...... There are also many people who have been arrested by the High Council, and they are all shouting for something. ”

"It seems that the moment of truth has come," Li Qi said leisurely.

"You can say what the next step is", Zolde already has experience, Richie's planning has always been step by step, and most of the reasons for those complaints just now are still uncertain.

Li Qi said: "Next, do this first, Josie, you haven't forgotten......"

After hearing this, Zolde was both puzzled and worried: "Could it be that the next step will fall on her, a little contract magician?" But even if my father doesn't ask, the grandmother Debbie below him will pursue it, which is very difficult." ”

Grandma Debbie?

"It's the half-elf who was temporarily transferred to the mansion to be a deacon, you should have seen it. Green hair, looking young, is actually close to two hundred years old. Her elven blood is very pure among half-elves, and she has served my great-grandfather and grandfather......"

Sold's tone became a little weird: "When I was just an adult, I was ready to serve~ me, but when I was a child, I accidentally bumped into her playing with my father and brothers, and I couldn't get up when I thought of that scene......"

Ahem, it's actually a living ancestral RBQ!

Zolde added: "She's not legendary, but she's powerful. And in the family for so many years, it can be said that the power is monstrous. If she asked me for someone, I didn't have the courage to refuse. ”

Li Qi said, "Can't you hide it?"

Zolde said: "That's okay, I have several hiding places in Silver City, which can shield all kinds of monitoring, including the induction of the soul contract, but this means turning against the family......"

"Zolde, it's time for fate again," Li Qi lowered his voice: "Look at your position in the family, haven't you thought about anything......? Ahem, half-elf slave girls can be powerful in front of you. Even if you set up your own door, your family will not help you, or even hinder. ”

Zold's breathing became rapid, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "It sounds like you're just a contract mage, let me ...... Let me do that, that or that? Even if it's crazy, you can give me a reason to make me feel better, and it's so ridiculous that I want to cry!"

Richie's tone was unapologetic: "Oh, I'm sorry, it's just a coincidence that two things are strung together." So, do you want me to risk being wiretapped, and tell you a lot of reasoning, and then mention Josie at the end?"

On the other end of the teleportation ring, Zelder seemed to be smashing the table: "No need!"

He didn't have the courage to set foot on this fateful decision-making point: "Don't say that the Storm Islands are the same as the Dark Regions, and our mage family is not the Dark Elf family!"

"I don't think it's any different", Li Qi decided to push it through the wind: "You don't have to fight for the celebration, help me, and help yourself do what you have to do." ”

"What!?"

Zolde was shocked: "It's already decided?"

He was silent for a while, and said timidly: "I'm a person who hasn't even reached a legend, how can I ......?"

Li Qi coughed and said, "Everyone has already studied and decided." ”
