Chapter 81: Hongxia

Count Cheno's opening excited Riffin, for it was a breakthrough in his persuasion work. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The young man felt that his forged new identity had played a role, and he became more and more determined to "pull the banner of the temple to make a profit for himself".

As a result, his tone changed then, and if he didn't know the truth, even Fawkes would have thought of him as a real temple envoy.

"The frozen coast has been closed for too long, and it should be changed. ”

"Oh, it looks like Mr. Riffin already has a case. ”

"As I said, I'm here to answer your questions. ”

"Yes, then ask Mr. Riffin to tell me how you think the frozen shores should be changed?"

......

Gently close the door, and the sound of conversation is cut off in the room.

Signaling the guards on both sides to guard the door, the old butler quickly left the corridor. He needs to fetch the tea set in the study and refill the tea for the guests.

Fawkes, who walked steadily, was a little absent-minded, for he had not yet guessed Count Cheno's mind.

There is no doubt that this guy who calls himself "Riffin Talian" will definitely not be an envoy sent by the Temple of Dawn, after all, Bishop Kalian has just visited the Earl's Mansion some time ago. Although he did not specify the time of his next visit, he would never send a random subordinate.

Even if it is to change the emissary, the newcomer should be accompanied by Bishop Kalian for the first time, otherwise it will be too rude.

What's more, what Riffin and Kalian said was not one thing at all, so he was not even a lobbyist, at most he was a liar who did not measure himself.

If he dares to pretend to be an envoy of the temple to come to the Earl's Mansion to deceive, then he doesn't have to think that he will leave alive.

However, Count Cheno, who should have been furious, did not get angry, but chatted with him with great interest, as if it were true.

If it weren't for the wisdom of his own lord, Fawkes would probably have thought that the Earl had been deceived by the other party.

"Tea?"

Fawkes recalled Count Chenault's command verbatim in his head, trying to figure out the deep meaning hidden beneath the order.

However, until he returned from the study, the old butler was still confused.

In desperation, Fawkes could only suppress the doubts in his heart and prepare a new pot of tea as Count Cheno's face ordered.

......

"As long as you promise the temple to preach in the territory, then this area is their diocese, and all the cost of magic will only be a symbolic gift money, which is much cheaper than those alchemy. ”

"What's more, the priests of the temple are not those wandering mages who don't understand the rules, if they had been accepted earlier, something like the 'Scourge of the Blood Moon' would not have happened in Morte Territory. ”

"Uh...... cough cough ...... "Mouth was quick for a while, and by the time Riffin reacted, the words that shouldn't have been said had already blurted out. After swallowing for a while, he said with a flushed face: "It's not too late, it's not too late, with the protection of the temple, I believe that the Moulte family will be able to live in peace for a long time." ”

Every aristocratic family has topics that cannot be spoken, and "the identity of the Iga knights" and "the scourge of the blood moon" are taboos for the Morte family. Saying such things in front of the members of the Morte family is inevitable, and it is not impossible to turn their faces immediately.

Mephistopheles certainly didn't have such taboos, but the status of Count Chenoy forced him to deal with it.

"Idiot!" Mephistopheles scolded in his heart: "I can't even talk with a brain, and I dare to be a lobbyist!"

When the other person says this, it is difficult to continue the conversation between the two.

Mephistopheles didn't think to make amends, and while it wasn't difficult for him to get it back, Riffin wasn't worth the risk.

The chess pieces can be found at any time, but once some flaws are exposed, sooner or later they will be discovered by someone with a heart.

Therefore, in order to perfectly fit the identity of the incarnation, anything that does not conform to the logic of Count Cheno's behavior is not considered by Mephistopheles, unless it is a major event that endangers the life and safety of the body.

Coincidentally, while Chenoy was pondering how to show his anger, Fox pushed the door in......

The count's face was still gloomy, for he had to show what he should be, though he was very happy now.

In Riefin's opinion, this heavy expression was a sign of his unsuccessful remedy, and he wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Count Cheno's wave: "Let's drink tea first." ”

The voice couldn't hear the joy and anger, but Richen's heart became more and more bottomless.

The longer he spent with the Earl, the more Awe Rieffin became. Now he doesn't dare to underestimate this "child", but really regards him as a real nobleman of the same level as his father.

There were two steaming cups of tea on the silver tray, and after a moment's thought, Mephistopheles took the one on the left, and motioned for Fawkes to send the rest to Riffin.

"Thank you. ”

Riffin took the remaining cup of hot tea from the tray and nodded his head in thanks, hoping to save some impression from Count Cheno.

The tea is lukewarm but not hot, making it just right to drink.

His lips opened slightly, and the warm breeze blew across the calm water, rippling a little, and a burst of fragrance rushed into his nostrils with the pouring of tea.

Riefin's mind was not on tasting the tea at the moment, he was still thinking about how he could eliminate Count Cheno's displeasure and restore his image in his heart, so he seemed a little absent-minded in the process of drinking tea.

However, after all, he has received more than ten years of aristocratic education, and some actions are almost subconscious reactions.

Opening his mouth to gently blow the surface of the water, the light green tea stirred in the small cup, and the red smoke poured out from the bottom of the cup, and soon after the mouth of the cup, it all dissipated into the air.

"This ......," Riffin looked at Count Cheno, alarmed, and Fawkes, who had returned to his side, for an explanation. But what puzzled him was that the two of them looked at him with unwavering eyes, as if they hadn't seen the magical scene just now.

"Am I dazzled?"

Riffin fell into self-doubt, in fact, because the red haze appeared so abruptly and dissipated so quickly, what was really caught by his eyes was only a flash of red light, and even he could not convince himself.

After thinking about it, the young man still took this incident as his own delusion, after all, it was indeed a bit unbelievable.

In his mind, if the Morte family really wanted to calculate anything about him, there was no need to use such a tasteless means, not to mention the guards and knights guarding outside, even the two in the house were far from being opponents.

Of course, if you don't care, you don't care, in line with the concept of "be careful, there is no big mistake", Riffin put the teacup in his hand on the table, and gave up the plan to drink the tea in the cup.

It's just that the young man didn't know that just as Hongxia escaped from the teacup, a strange smiling face appeared at the bottom of the outer cup, and then, the black smiling face turned into a subtle silk thread, along the pattern on the surface of the cup, drilled into Riefin's palm at a very fast speed, and entered his body, and he didn't notice it in the slightest.

When everything was done, the red haze "slowly" dissipated into the air......
