Chapter 97: Taking Advantage of the Situation (2)

The Earl's Court is brilliantly lit, elegant and luxurious, but also has a sacred solemnity that is different from that of a free country.

Instead of trees trimmed into animals or other shapes, the manor is full of white marble statues of the gods.

Before the countess returned to the house, a servant hurried back and asked the butler to boil hot water.

Under the command of the butler, the huge water tank in the backyard of the Earl's Court began to heat up, and the boiling water flowed down the pipes laid below through the planks and floor tiles of the Earl's Palace, so that the Countess did not have to be dragged down by heavy clothes in her own palace.

As the countess went, the servants swept away the thin layer of snow on the ground, so that the countess's beloved boots would not be stained with a speck of watery dust.

Pushing open the crimson door, the room was full of fuchsia velvet, and even the feet on the floor, walls, and ceilings were fuchsia velvet.

Despite the dark colors in the house, the house does not look dark.

One of the walls of the Earl's Court was replaced by three huge floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing the stone columns, statues and colourful terracotta tiles in the garden not to waste life outside.

Statues certainly have a lifespan, and their lifespan depends on how much the countess loves them.

Leo and Nana slowly stepped into what could be called a wasteful storeroom of wealth.

"Your wealth is worthy of a marquis's raspberry crown, Mademoiselle. ”

Leo did not shy away from his praise.

"If only you didn't think it was shabby, after all, it couldn't compare to the Duke's castle. ”

Jean stood at a large round table.

On the table were two large silver candlesticks that could hold six candles, and beside the silver candlesticks were several gilded silver plates containing pastries and tea that the servants had prepared long ago.

"You may be seated, Viscount Arendt. ”

For Qin's faint temptation, Leo did not feel the slightest discomfort and happily sat down.

The countess took a sip of tea, observed Leo's expression, and asked, "I don't know if you have anything to do when you come to Golden City?"

Leo smiled slightly, pushed away the teacup in his hand, and said, "Let's stop going around in circles, Count." I'm sure you've already seen that I'm not your average viscount. ”

The countess nodded slightly, and said, "Since you have picked out the words, then I will be straightforward." Who's on your orders to come here?"

"Can't say. Leo's face was calm, but it made the countess feel unfathomable.

What the countess didn't know was that Leo didn't know what to say at all, but he didn't know what to say.

He didn't know anything about the title structure of the Faith Realm, and even the name of the countess in front of him was only told by the old steel hammer when he entered the city.

Leo didn't say anything, but the countess made up for it herself.

The image of a noble-born, duke-like, and trusted young man was gradually perfected in her brain.

There was also a duke's daughter as a lady. Jean added in her heart.

"In that case, how do you need help?"

Leo pondered for a moment and said, "I have a dwarven blacksmith in my team, and he can even craft legendary equipment, and you should know the preciousness of such a master. ”

A hint of surprise flashed on the countess's face, but she didn't interject without permission, and quietly waited for Leo's next words.

"Earl, the fact that you sit in the Golden City is a testament to your importance. The Dwarven Master wants to see the Lord behind you through your channels. ”

The Count pondered for a moment and asked, "I wonder where this dwarven master came from?"

"That's not what I can say. Leo looked serious. "Do you know what I mean?"

Countess Jean understood, of course, that such an obvious hint was almost the same as an explicit statement.

Duke Bigley behind "Viscount Arendt" and the duke behind him intended to unite, but they didn't want others to know, so they reached an alliance through two vassals.

The alliance between the two dukes brought about changes was enough to make several minor nobles disappear between collisions, and the marquis behind the countess would naturally be best if he could prepare in advance.

The countess, who thought she understood, nodded with a heavy face and said, "I understand." Since the two of us are in charge of this together, then don't care about the title, you and I can just meet at the same level. ”

"But on the outside, you still have to pay attention to the differences. Leo admonished.

"Of course I do. The countess took a ring from her hand and said, "This is my token, with which you will be spared a lot of trouble." Where's your token?"

"Nope. Looking at the countess's hand that remained in the air, Leo shook his head. "That Dwarven Master is the best token of all. ”

The countess thought about it and put the ring back on.

"What do you mean by that, ma'am?" Leo raised an eyebrow.

"I just don't think this ring is enough to show my sincerity. ”

The countess untied a necklace from her neck and placed it in Leo's hands.

Leo took a deep look at the countess and said, "Okay, then as a matter of sincerity, tomorrow I will ask the dwarven master to build a piece of equipment to prove the reliability of my words." ”

"That's for the best. ”

Leo stood up and said to the countess, "Now that the matter has been discussed, let's go and pick out the clothes, so as not to arouse the speculation of others." I wonder if the Earl can arrange a guide for us? ”

"It's my responsibility. ”

The countess said to the butler behind her, "Phoebe, you take care of this lord." Be sure to meet any requests from Viscount Arendt. ”

"Yes, Lord Count. ”

Leo was silent on the surface, but he was relieved in his heart.

This butler is what Esenas wants most after the whole lie!

After Leo and his party had left, the countess returned to the brightly lit reception room, where she sat and pondered.

At that moment, a secret door creaked open on the wall of the reception room.

"Lord Earl. ”

A handsome strategist emerged from behind the wall.

"Lake. The countess pressed her head in sorrow.

"I'm here, Lord Count. ”

"You say, what is the origin of this Viscount Arendt?"

"It must be an honorable adult. ”

The countess put down her hand, rubbed her brow again, and said, "Then it seems that I have not been fooled. ”

At the last minute, Jean Turner, out of concern that Leo did not have a token to prove his identity, replaced the ring representing the "selfless companion" with the necklace of the "intimate lover".

"It can't be said that there are no flaws, and the absence of a token is always a stain, and it is always right to be careful. ”

The counselor was relieved, "And no matter who they are, as long as they are not on the side of the church, it is a good thing for us." ”

The Countess nodded.

Although Brandwison tried his best to hide his figure, the orders he gave could not be hidden, and the tense atmosphere on the side of the church also affected the aristocratic side.

At the same time, the Golden City is governed by two gods, which means that the distribution of interests in the city is quite special, and the special often means trouble, and being able to navigate between the two churches and many nobles, and the prosperity and wealth of the Golden City, all show the strength and skill of this countess.

And after Leo returned to his residence and explained the meeting to Isenas in detail, Isenus nodded and said, "Well done, our operation can be launched." ”

"But is it okay with this countess?" Leo was a little worried, and the countess finally gave him a better token seemingly sincerely, but only the countess herself knew the meaning of the token.

At least Leo believed that the countess would not be an innocent vase, so he would not easily use the necklace.

"It doesn't matter, whatever the countess has in mind, as long as we meet her. ”

"Why?" asked Leo, somewhat surprised.

"The church and the nobility are naturally opposed, so whatever her intentions are, she will be our helper in destroying the power of the church. The purpose of our meeting with her is only to use his name to justifiably go to places that ordinary nobles are not allowed to visit. ”

"I see. Leo nodded and asked, "Then it's time for us to use the Godhead, right?"

"Yes. Isenus motioned for Omoni to take out the Godhead and put it in Leo's hands.

"Tomorrow, you and Nana will just follow the Godhead's senses around, with the arrogant and rude image you have erected at the moment, no matter what out-of-the-ordinary actions you make, it won't surprise Brandwisson, plus your Sanctuary abilities are excellent in reconnaissance, so you are the best candidates for reconnaissance. ”

"Old steel hammer. Esenas looked at Seklin again.

"Although the arrangement is. ”

"Tomorrow, when we go to the Earl's Court to build equipment, can we make a big noise?"

"It's easy, it's a little hard if you keep me from making a sound. The old hammer spread his hands.

"Good!" Isenas finally turned his gaze to Ente and Omoni.

"Ent, old Mo, don't be idle tomorrow, go to the church and have a look, and be sure to get a set of church clothes that you can wear, but you must not attract the attention of others. ”

"Understood. ”

"Okay, then it depends on how fast Leo reconnoitre, the faster you are, the less likely it is that we will be debunked on the Earl's side, and the higher the success rate of the plan to awaken the goddess of nature. ”

Exennas's arrangements were finally all over.

Leo exhaled and said, "Although I don't know what you want to do, I feel solid when I see that your plan is so thorough." ”

Unfortunately, planning is not always foolproof.

At the moment when Omoni took out the godhead, in the basement of the cathedral of the Harvest Church, the body of the goddess of nature, which was protected by layers, seemed to be pulled by something, and her eyelids and eyelashes trembled slightly, as if they were about to open.

The church personnel who were guarding the side were stunned and ran to the secret room where Brandwison was.

"What?"

Brandwisson's eyes snapped open.

"Ente, they've entered the Golden City?"

P.S At this point, all the key points of the golden battle have been fully displayed, and readers can try to deduce if they are interested.
