Chapter 33: The Godfather
Nabe raised her hand to cover her mouth in surprise and looked at Yuri in surprise, "How did you know!?"
Nabei, who realized that her tone was a little strange, did not continue, the hand covering her mouth instantly clenched into a fist, and coughed twice as she pretended to cough, and her pale face was a little flushed at the moment.
Yuri turned around and called Hook and Shema over, and when the two came to him, he turned around and introduced the two to Nabe, but Hook's expression didn't change, what a chief student, what a battle mage!
Shema has really heard of the name of this female mage, one of the twin goddesses of the Holy Tower, famous for her coldness and beauty in the Holy Tower, and the same name as another female mage who practices light and fire attribute magic, Shema looked at this beautiful woman with a cold aura all over her body with some curiosity, why did she come to the dukedom? But this guy is too stinky fart, he actually scolded himself for being a fool just now, and now it seems that he can't fight anymore, and he must find it back in the future, Xima, who was still angry just now, smiled like a flower and gave a standard military salute to Nabei and said: "Hello, I'm Xima, Xima..."
Xima's words suddenly stopped, she gritted her teeth and continued: "I am the new lieutenant of the earl, I don't know what Master Nabe is doing in the dukedom?"
"On the orders of the Holy Tower to protect Count Yurias for three months, but... But I will keep my promise, and in three months I will return to the Holy Tower to take over my duties, and I will return to the Duchy to fulfill my promise. ”
"Master Nabe, I think you can just say these things to Lord Earl in the future, I don't need to know this..."
"Really? I'm sorry then. Nabei replied expressionlessly, and Xima's expression suddenly became weird, why did this girl speak a little upside down?
Yuri watched the communication between the two, and also had a position in his heart about the character of this female mage: "Facial paralysis girl, no, this should be called an iceberg in my own world? After removing the disguise of her beautiful appearance, this is a straight daughter." ”
Yuri clapped his palms at this time, focused everyone's attention, and said: "Today is a day worth remembering, Xima, and invincible, you have come to my side, from now on you are my partner, my family, my definition of partner is to be in the same boat through thick and thin, life and death, in the face of difficulties and obstacles, whether it is me or you, I hope you remember one sentence, that is, do not abandon every companion, do not give up every companion!"
"And Master Nabe from afar, I also hope that you can join this team, what I said before, I will go and realize them one by one, but it takes strength, great power!"
"Our human strength is too weak, and if we want to fight those monsters, we must unite, unite more forces, unite all those who can be united, unite all rights that can be united, and even unite all other races that can be united, unite all the forces that can be united!
"Some people may think that this is self-defeating, it is futile, and even we ourselves will one day forget our goals, completely fail! and then crush our bones! But it is worth it, I think there will be such a sentence recorded in some book in the future, there were some people, they made their own voices heard!"
Yuri whispered a little bitterly: "This is my seemingly great but extremely humble dream, hehe, even if I go alone, I want to achieve her!"
Shema's eyes were a little red as he stared at Yuri, Hook still looked lazy, but his eyes were full of madness that he had never seen before, and Invincible slowly walked to Yuri's side and stood still, hanging his head.
Nabei has been carefully observing the man in front of her, is this man really the legendary reckless man? Not necessarily, with the attitude of this man at the moment, if he can't become a hero who saves the world in the future, then he will definitely become the demon king who destroys the world! Maybe you can experience more interesting things with this man...
After Yuri finished speaking, he turned around and waved at the housekeeper White Lizard, who stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Young Master, please command!"
Yuri said: "Go and prepare a dinner, I am happy today, I want to feast everyone, and besides, by the way, call the princess too, I think she should not have left the Duke's Palace," the white lizard turned around and was about to leave, but paused, turned to the invincible and saluted, "Then Mr. Invincible, what kind of food do you need?"
Invincible snorted, hissed in a low voice, the white lizard suddenly raised his head and stared at the invincible, some surprised and a little puzzled to the invincible cast an inquiring look, invincible shouted at the white lizard twice, the white lizard hesitated for a moment and turned to leave, Yuri looked at the leaving white lizard, and said to the enemy with interest: "I guess, you won't let him prepare any strange food for you, right? Legend has it that the devil feeds on the soul, did you let him prepare the soul for you?"
Invincible nodded, Yuri and the three looked at Invincible a little speechlessly, and Yuri was a little puzzled about what the white lizard was preparing for Invincible. Nabe said at this moment: "Lord Earl, the semi-abyssal species of the Demon Nightmare has a relatively single eating nature, and it does feed on souls, but it is only interested in heroic spirits and evil spirits, ordinary souls cannot make them raise their appetite, and there will be no attacks on ordinary people, as for how to get heroic spirits and evil spirits, I think you should ask Invincible." ”
Yuri and Invincible turned their heads to look at Nabe at the same time, is there really no problem with this woman being so straightforward...
The group walked to the parlor of the main castle, Yuri instructed the servants to prepare rooms for Hima and Nabe, and asked the servants to wait in the corridor outside with Invincible, and then took Hook to meet Duke Lehman.
The two of them walked towards the duke's study, and on the way Hook asked with some confusion, "Young master, is this mage a little here?"
Yuri smiled secretly in his heart and said: "Don't be rude to the lady, this is called frankness, many people can't do this, you can't do it, I can't do it, facing the problem straight to the core, it's rare!"
Hook rolled his eyes and muttered, "!"
Yuri stretched out his hand and slapped him on the head, "What nonsense! I'll see my father later, you give me a serious point! Don't say anything!"
Hook covered his head and said depressedly, "Got it, got it!
When the two came to the door of the study, Yuri knocked on the door, and soon a servant came to open the door, and when he saw that it was Yuri, he bowed down and let the two of them in.
As soon as the two entered the duke's study, they saw the duke sitting upright on a huge black cloud wood chair, in front of him was a huge black cloud wood desk, at this moment there was a middle-aged man in a gray dress standing opposite the desk, Yuri knew this man, this is a steward in the palace, belonging to his aunt's line, this person is Lord Calle who transported the devil to the dukedom, at this moment Lord Calle is reporting something to Lehman, Lehman is listening quietly, the sound of the two entering the door interrupted Lord Calle's report.
Lehman looked up at the two of them and waved Lord Calle to continue.
Lord Calle looked at the two of them and continued: " The evidence shows that Mandan is colluding with the gangster forces in the imperial capital, and some secret societies have also taken refuge in him, like the notorious dark crow and the Black Rain Alliance that has emerged in the past two years should have some connection with him, his territory is quiet, and there is no new news for the time being, and he has recently been letting people manipulate the flow of some materials in the black market, and the spies have sent clues that most of the materials have flowed to the Black Rain Swamp, a small number have flowed to Razor Mountain, and some have arrived at his lair, Dulancer, Several of Durlancel's agents have lost their whereabouts, and although the life insignia indicates that they are all alive, I have cut off these lines as a precaution..."
Lehman listened carefully, his expression did not change at all, and after Carlisle finished speaking, he pointed to the chair next to him and asked him to sit down, and turned his gaze to the two who had been listening to it for a long time, "Do you have any ideas?"
After hearing this, Yuri groaned slightly, and said, "Father, I suspect that things are far from being as simple as they seem, and it is impossible for Mandan to leave so many flaws!"
Lehman looked at Yuri with some astonishment, and said after a long time, "Is this what you think yourself, or is it what someone else thinks?"
Yuri smiled bitterly, it seemed that his previous impression had been ingrained in Lehman's heart, Yuri shook his head and said: "This is indeed my own idea, I think this may be a conspiracy, this conspiracy is very big, from the current point of view, this Prince Mandan is just a supporting role, at best it is a relatively large bait." ”
Duke Lehman tapped his fingers on the table and interrupted Yuri to continue, turning to Lord Calle and saying, "You go back first, come here at night, I have something to ask you." ”
Lord Calle stood up and saluted the Duke, then Yuri, and left the Duke's study.
Duke Lehman motioned for the two to sit down, and Hook hurriedly saluted and stood behind Yuri, frowning at Yuri.
"Alright, boy, you're welcome here, sit down!" Lehman's voice rang directly in Hook's ears, and Hook shuddered and quickly found a seat and sat down.
Lehman said slowly: "Mandan's matter, let's have a good chat when we have time, I have seen what you are doing in the small square today, you are doing well, you have grown, that devil is something that even the emperor covets, but unfortunately this thing has never been tamed by humans, be careful when you use it in the future, if you are seen by those old things, I am afraid it will attract a bunch of pink eye, and that female mage, is a good seedling, you give me a way to keep her, her teacher... cough, as for the girl of the Karahao family, she still has talent, but she is in the wrong direction, you can guide her well, her achievements may not be under her father!"
"As for you, Hook boy, you have a clever head and a lot of courage, I have nothing to worry about, but remember to guard against arrogance and rashness!"
Hook hurriedly saluted, "Thank you for your teachings!
Yes, Hook's godfather is none other than Duke Thunder, Lehman.
