One hundred and fifty-three courtesy of the Grand Duke
Su Hao met Duke Ziyue in the antechamber of the castle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I've heard for a long time that an exorcist has come to the city, and today I see that it's really extraordinary." His voice was approachable, and his smile hung on his loyal face, and there was not the slightest difference in his face.
"I'm afraid the Grand Duke wouldn't think so if he knew what I was here for." Su Hao said calmly.
"Oh, what do you mean?" Duke Ziyue still didn't show the slightest abnormality, and even his tone didn't change at all.
"I was sent by Archbishop Matthew of the Church."
A smile still hung on Duke Ziyue's face, but he didn't say anything.
"Doesn't the Grand Duke think it's strange that an exorcist would be implicated with someone from the church?" Su Hao could feel Duke Ziyue's mood fluctuations, so he was even calmer, "And he also does things for the church." β
Duke Ziyue still didn't speak, but the smile disappeared from Zhonghou's face.
The hands holding the chair were very hard, clutching the armrests on both sides.
"The Grand Duke only needs to tell me one thing, and I'll leave." Su Hao laughed, "In this way, I can also explain to Archbishop Matthew of the church." β
He spoke of the church in a different tone each time.
The words infused with strange power were like a giant hammer beating on Duke Ziyue's heart, and unconsciously, his breathing became heavy, but he still didn't speak, and the sound of "squeaking" clenching his teeth made him almost feel that Su Hao in front of him had turned into a poisonous snake, and his face became more and more gloomy.
But he still let himself hold back in his heart, and he must hold back.
"Poppy can't be wrong that he's a friend of the Grand Duke!"
Su Hao's suddenly sharp tone made Duke Ziyue feel like he had been struck by lightning, and Kui Wei's body shook involuntarily.
- They got it! They must have known!
This voice kept shouting in his heart, he stood up, and the resentment that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly broke the last patience like the sea water that burst the embankment, but he heard Su Hao's relaxed and abnormal voice in his ears.
"Although I think this is nonsense, since they said so, I will ask in passing." Su Hao didn't see Duke Ziyue's anger at all, "But I always feel that the Grand Duke with a good reputation doesn't seem to be mixed with a weirdo." β
He took his guess completely as the words of the church, so that Duke Ziyue, who had just rushed to his head with anger, was suddenly stunned, and the tide that had completely broken through the embankment suddenly retreated.
"Your Excellency is not here to ask for sin?"
"Guilty?" Su Hao said strangely, "What crime do you ask?" Could it be that the Grand Duke is really guilty? β
Duke Ziyue felt extremely aggrieved, and suddenly his mood was completely disturbed by Su Hao's chaotic way of talking, and now he couldn't tell Su Hao's intention at all, let alone what to say.
A wave of anger flashed in his eyes, but he couldn't make a decision in his heart.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Su Hao suddenly said, "Your Excellency, I am entrusted by the church to ask you to hand over the infidels!" β
ββIt's not a cockroach thing? How does it have to do with heretics?
Duke Ziyue was completely confused, and he didn't know how to deal with it, but one thing he knew very well was that the church's attitude towards infidels was absolutely unforgiving.
Whoever wants to get involved with a pagan will definitely be supplied!
"According to the Church's investigation, there was a heretic who entered the castle of His Excellency the Grand Duke and never came out." Su Hao's voice was full of threat, "And it is said that this heretic is the mastermind of the demon incident in the city, it is said that ......"
"She's still a woman!"
When one is worried that one's biggest secret will be revealed, anything else that can temporarily cover up the secret can be the biggest straw saver.
Duke Ziyue is no exception.
Su Hao deliberately didn't say anything about cockroaches, just to let him feel lucky, compared with the church's all-out counterattack, what is a Ling Nian? Duke Ziyue knew very well what was at stake, so he frowned deeply and was entangled in his heart.
"It's my business to take away the infidels." Su Hao saw the looseness in Duke Ziyue's heart, and decided to add the last shovel, "Other things have nothing to do with me, who made me owe Archbishop Matthew a favor." β
Something out of nothing relieved the last doubt in Duke Ziyue's heart.
"Someone, bring that woman up!"
Su Hao, who heard Duke Ziyue's order, flashed deep disappointment in his eyes, but this disappointment made Duke Ziyue who sat down again really happy, and he was deeply glad for the decision he made.
- Sure enough, it's just an excuse! If you don't hand over the woman, you might have a reason to search the castle on a grand scale!
This exorcist is an introduction, and he must not be touched!
And the woman was not an infidels at all, maybe she was a pawn thrown by the church.
Seeing that Su Hao, who was still talking endlessly just now, became extremely silent, Duke Ziyue felt that his judgment was not wrong, and his decision was a wise decision, his expression became approachable again, and those angers and rage were buried deep again.
"I heard that Your Excellency is now residing in the mansion of the Marquis de Sade?"
Duke Ziyue felt that since this exorcist was just to return the favor of Archbishop Matthew, it meant that he also had the opportunity to recruit Su Hao, so he tried to find out Su Hao's weakness.
"The exorcist is at peace with what happens." Su Hao's voice had lost the vitality it had just now, and it sounded a little listless.
Duke Ziyue's eyes lit up and he felt that there was a play.
"This is the territory of my lord, and I also appreciate the master very much." His attitude became enthusiastic and sincere, "If the master is interested, he can come to this castle at any time." β
Duke Ziyue was well versed in the way of solicitation and did not rush it, but seeing Su Hao's seemingly heart-warming appearance, he stopped mentioning this topic.
Ling Nian, whose face was haggard and looked aggrieved, was escorted into the hall by a team of soldiers.
She had no hope of survival, and suddenly saw Su Hao, and the expression in her beautiful eyes immediately became extremely exciting, but then she thought of her situation at this moment and Su Hao's advice, and immediately felt ashamed and bowed her head silently.
Ling Nian's expression made Duke Ziyue not have any doubts.
Su Hao just glanced at Ling Nian, immediately stood up from his seat, and saluted Duke Ziyue: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency is deeply impressed by your bearing and sincerity, I will definitely come to visit again." β
Duke Ziyue also got up from his seat, and that approachable smile hung back on his face.
"Welcome, the master is ready to come, and I will be a guest."
Ling Nian, who bowed his head and was silent in shame, really couldn't understand why Su Hao, who had long seen through this hypocritical grand duke, could get such courtesy from him?
How did this Su Hao convince Duke Ziyue?
