"Is this me? not quite like ......," said Dio softly.

"Not really, but Wells is not an artist, and frankly, he can paint you as a person...... It's already pretty good. Masaldo said, "Dio, can you explain?"

"It is a great honour to have General Wells paint a portrait of me. Dio muttered to himself.

Masardo didn't speak again, just looked at Dio quietly, he was waiting for an answer.

The status of the two sides is seriously unequal, Masardo is the uncrowned king of Duta Town, he is powerful, extreme warrior, this is already the pinnacle of the Chris Plains, and he also controls unknown forces, even the famous General Wells of the earldom has to concede three points to Masaldo.

Dio is just a young man who has just come out of the experience, identity, strength and many other aspects are far inferior to Masaldo, it stands to reason that he should now bend his mind and find ways to please Masaldo, but Dio's attitude is shocking, his expression is even more indifferent than Masaldo.

After all, the time between Vasily and Dio is too short, he sees one side of Dio, but ignores the other side, because of his own low strength, when encountering danger and trouble, Dio will always subconsciously choose to retreat first, but if it comes to the situation of avoidance, he will never lack the courage to face it, Dio's bones are much tougher than Vasily imagined.

Just like the pawn on the chessboard, it can go to the left and right, but it will never retreat, this is its bottom line, its criterion, even if it is broken, it will not hesitate.

"Actually...... Just an inexplicable farce. Dio sighed softly, and then told the story of the events before and after his encounter with the two bandits, and only concealed the last scene.

Masardo listened quietly, without asking about the main points, and when Dio finished speaking, he smiled and said, "I can see that you are unlucky......"

"yes, I know that I'm in big trouble. Dio said, "General Wells deliberately painted a portrait of me, is he trying to arrest me......?" Do you need me to turn myself in?"

"Don't be so nervous, I've already told Wells that there's no such person in Stack Tower. "Masaldo said.

"This ......" Dio was stunned, he didn't expect Masaldo to defend him so much, why?!, he said softly, "I'm afraid it won't work......, right? Oh, Lord Masaldo, I thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to cause trouble to others. ”

"They don't dare. Masaldo shook his head: "You're proud, ha...... It's a good habit, but it's also a habit that can easily lead to death, and sometimes, don't easily refuse help from others. ”

Dio was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "Why?"

Masaldo smiled and suddenly asked rhetorically, "Miss Sophia is okay?"

"She ......" Dio was stunned, "you know me?"

"I don't know, so I'm going to find a chance to test you. Masaldo's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile: "Young Master Dior, why did you come to Duita Town?"

Dio looked at Masaldo blankly, because he didn't need to deliberately hide his relationship with Sophia, and it was not something unsightly, so he was unguarded, and he was suddenly probed out by Masaldo, but was the other party really because of Sophia, so he helped?

"Actually, I thought about it the first time you walked into Heapa Town and told me your name. Masaldo laughed: "After all, the chances of renaming are not very large. ”

"I didn't expect that. Dio said in a helpless tone: "I rarely go out of the manor, and there are still people outside who know about my existence. ”

"Heapa Town is next to the Baron's domain, how can I be ignorant of what is happening in the Barony?" said Masaldo, "What's more...... That's the pearl of Chris's plains, Miss Sophia, do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at her?"

"So, you're going to help me?" said Theo.

"No, it doesn't help. Masaldo smiled again: "Even if there is no me, even if that Wells guy catches you, as long as you tell your identity, Wells will never dare to touch half a finger of you." ”

Dio was very surprised in his heart, Sophia's influence is so strong?! Masaldo meant, but it is not that Wells will give Sophia some face, so it is not difficult for Dio, but he does not dare at all, the difference between the two is too great.

As if seeing Dio's surprise, Masaldo said again: "Young Master Theo, do you know what Marquis de Sain said of Miss Sophia?" At the mention of Marquis Sain, there was a trace of awe in Masaldo's eyes.

"I don't know. ”

"Lord Sain said that if Miss Sophia could devote all her time and energy to cultivation, she would become the youngest extreme warrior in the entire Marquisate. Masaldo said slowly: "So...... In a few years, more than ten years, the first martial artist on the Chriss Plain, or even a holy warrior, who can say for sure......"

Hearing this, Dio couldn't help but sigh lightly, Vasily had also made a similar evaluation for Sophia, it seemed that in the eyes of the real strong, Sophia's struggle was sacrificed.

"In fact, with the exception of Miss Sophia's two unsuccessful brothers and the poor Earl, almost everyone knows what kind of future Miss Sophia has, and believes that Sophia is not only the pearl of Chris's plain, but that one day she will become the most powerful warrior here. Masaldo laughed, "As long as that guy in Wells is still sane, he won't embarrass you, and no one wants to bear the wrath of Miss Sophia." ”

"Why doesn't the Count believe Sophia?" asked Theo, who had heard it for the first time, for Sophia had never mentioned anything outside since she had returned to the manor.

"You don't understand?" Masaldo's eyes became a little strange, "because Miss Sophia's future is too bright, maybe one day...... The county is about to change masters. ”

"Lord Sain is so optimistic about Sophia, isn't he worried?"

"Will you think about your own maintenance in old age?" asked Masaldo rhetorically.

"No, it won't. ”

"Because it's been too long, isn't it?" Masaldo said with a smile, "If you want to become a martial venerable, if you want to become a holy warrior who will touch eternity, Miss Sophia has too many ways to go, such a long time...... God knows what the world will become, and there are many ways to resolve the challenges of the future, so there's no need to be nervous now. ”

Dio's keen grasp of Masardo's eyes flashed with pity, obviously, this mercy had nothing to do with Sophia, it was for him Theo.

Dio's brain was running fast, Masaldo could recognize him, he could know what was going on in the barony, and he should know about the marriage contract between him and Sophia, mercy...... Is it because the marriage contract is impossible? Masaldo also said earlier that there are many ways to resolve future challenges, and the most effective way is to turn the challenger into one of his own!

"So, I can stay in Heta Town with peace of mind?" Dio smiled: "Anyway, Sophia is still my fiancée, no one dares to mess with me, right?"

Dio's words had a kind of targeting, and I don't know if Masaldo understood, so he frowned and muttered for a moment before he said slowly: "This matter...... It's a little complicated. ”

"Complicated?" said Theo, "what do you mean?"

Masardo glanced at Dio, he didn't need to make it too clear to Dio, but because of Sofia, he wanted to maintain a good relationship with Dio. In fact, Dio didn't guess wrong, Masardo is not optimistic about Dio's marriage contract with Sophia, and now the news has just spread, and those who are eager to jump out to stop are some fools who have no city government and no experience in life, but the big people who are really qualified to save the situation are silent, and any one of them stands up against it, which is enough to invalidate the marriage contract, of course, this is Masaldo's own thoughts, but he ignores Sophia's own wishes.

But the expiration of the marriage contract has nothing to do with the friendship between Sophia and Dio, Sophia, who has aristocratic blood, is willing to marry an ordinary person, whether it is with the idea of repaying her gratitude or because of something else, it is enough to prove that Sophia attaches great importance to Dio, and when the marriage contract expires, the sorry Sophia will definitely make up for Dio from somewhere else, so the young man Dio is very important to him!

"The caravan of the marquis was attacked, but I did nothing and let the robbers sack the caravan. "What's more interesting is that if the caravan is very valuable......," said Masaldo, " If the caravan was worthless, General Wells of the county rushed to the plain of Chris overnight to encircle and suppress the two bandits, and even drew your portrait with his own handwriting to track down your whereabouts, Dio, don't you think it's strange?"

"I ...... I don't quite understand. Dio shook his head slightly, he didn't understand, but he thought Masaldo didn't say it in detail enough, from Masaldo's attitude towards the county, as well as his attitude towards the Marquis of Thane, the other party was likely to be a person from the marquisate, and allowing the caravan of the marquis to be looted, it should be because of the mutual conflict within the marquis's power group.

"I've said enough lately...... You should still be careful, but don't worry, if something happens, I'll send a samurai to protect you. Masaldo said, "By the way, Dio, I'll send someone to search your room in a while, and your carriage, hehe...... I'm not suspicious of you, I'm helping you clear your name, you know? As he spoke, Masardo looked at Dio intently, as if ready to catch every change in Dio's expression.
