Suddenly rising from his chair, Kaplan ignored the table that had almost toppled over, and cursed, "Eric, you bastard!"

Eric, the personal guard standing on the side, asked innocently, "Young Master, did I do something wrong?"

Just now, the young master asked him for a bottle of poison that sealed his throat with blood. Seeing that after the young master accepted it, he was just about to leave, and the young master suddenly began to curse.

Kaplan put down the necklace in his hand, took out a crystal bottle from his arms and threw it directly, and asked with an unkind face: "You just said that this poison can kill people without feeling pain?"

Hurriedly taking the crystal bottle, Eric looked at it and confirmed, "That's right." Young master, you said that you want a special poison, and this is what I managed to get. This poison is not only highly toxic, but also can make people die with a peaceful expression, which definitely meets your requirements, young master. ”

Kaplan pointed his finger at Eric, but realized he couldn't say anything. He can't say that he has used that poison and experienced the effects of that poison, right?

Only after using that poison himself could Kaplan know that the so-called peaceful death was a complete misunderstanding! After the poisoning, Kaplan did not feel any pain at first, but his body gradually became unable to move.

But when he lost the ability to speak, he felt a sharp pain all over his body, as if he had been cut by a thousand knives! As for that serene expression? It was only because Kaplan had completely lost control of his body and could not make an expression at all!

Originally, Kaplan's purpose for this poison was to alleviate the pain caused by his "reading files", but it turned out to make him experience the feeling that life is worse than death.

But could Kaplan say that he had already experienced the effects of the poison?

"Forget it, you go down first. Kaplan said with a wave of his hand. He also figured it out, and Eric himself had not been poisoned, so how could he know the true effect of the poison?

"Wait a minute, did Crook, the person I asked you to ask for, have you gotten through?" asked as Eric was about to walk out the door when Kaplan suddenly stopped him.

Eric stopped and replied, "Crook is just a captain of the guard, how dare he not give the people that the young master wants? ”

Eric had no idea what his young master was thinking: Kaplan suddenly said that as long as he formed a private escort team, he would select some personnel from the family's escort team.

After the sudden "disappearance" of the eldest young master, the young master wanted to form his own escort team, and Eric was understandable. But he didn't understand what the young master's criteria for selecting people were: those people were all in the escort team, but they all belonged to different escort teams, and their original status was not very high, and their strength was strong and weak, and the young master didn't know how much use they could be used when they were gathered.

Naturally, he didn't know that Kaplan's choice of guarantee was "loyalty". Those who were chosen were the ones Kaplan had watched in his history before he was reborn as they fought for the Deduwa family!

This time, in order to enhance the strength that he could directly mobilize, Kaplan deliberately selected the ten guards. Of course, there could not be only ten people loyal to the Deduwa family: there were many guards who died in the battle for the Deduwa family, but most of them were not seen by Kaplan, and even some were killed in battle in front of Kaplan's eyes, but Kaplan could not name them, and some people were loyal, but their status was relatively high, so it was not appropriate to be transferred to their side.

Just because the status of these ten people is not high, and their skills are not very strong, the captain of the guard, Crook, will easily let them go.

Kaplan commanded, "Go and see if they're coming, and if so, let them wait outside the gate." ”

"Young master, I understand. Eric felt a little inexplicable, he didn't know what his young master was thinking, but he was just a guard and couldn't have any opinion on the young master's orders, so he could only leave with the bottle. - Naturally, he didn't know that Kaplan had already known that those people had already arrived through his experience before reading the file.

After Eric left, Kaplan calmed down, knowing that he should not be blamed for his "guilt": Eric had not been poisoned himself. And because of the rapid onset of the drug, I am afraid that the previous victims will not have a chance to be rescued, and it is naturally impossible to spread the feeling of poisoning.

Although it was understandable, Kaplan felt depressed, and he sat there for a while before he calmed down.

Next, he began to analyze the information he had just gotten.

From what information we know, the situation is not very bad: the mid-level mage Forster did not betray the Deduwa family, but only that his disciple had a problem.

With Karina's judgment, Kaplan can be sure that as long as he doesn't reveal the secret of Forster's research on necromancy in the future, he can basically still become the combat force of the Deduwa family. If his apprentice's problem is solved as soon as possible, even if the Cult of Light attacks the manor again, Forster will definitely rise up and resist.

After all, anyone who cultivated undead magic was a natural enemy of the Cult of Light, and there was no room for compromise at all.

But how do you deal with his apprentice without angering Forster, do you just do it secretly, or do you find a way to make him find out for himself that his apprentice has been bought?

Or could he keep his apprentice and put it to use?

Kaplan thought about it as he stood up and left the restaurant.

Unfortunately, Kaplan himself has not practiced magic "so far", and he has not had much contact with Forster's master and apprentice before, and there are not many reasonable ways to contact them without arousing Forster's war.

Walking all the way to the bedroom door, Kaplan was about to push the door in, when he suddenly heard the sound of conversation inside.

"Karina, don't be so naïve, how many good people can there be in the nobles? Master Kaplan coaxed you a few words, why did you believe it?"

Karina is the real Kaplan's personal maid Lilia, who changed the name of the saint Karina and said bad things about Kaplan to Karina.

Karina trusted Kaplan very much, and defended him: "But the young master said that he would take good care of me, and he wouldn't lie to me." ”

I didn't expect that because Karina has the ability to distinguish whether other people are lying or not, it is easier to appease. Kaplan sighed, pushed the door open and walked in.

"How can a nobleman not lie? You were kidnapped! Why did you believe what the young master said......" Lilia's words immediately stopped, and her face was full of horror!

In this world, the status of a maid is very low, and if someone is beaten to death because she speaks ill of the nobles behind her back, no one will sympathize with her.

Her courage is actually not very big, but she is too naïve to see Karina, and she can't bear to watch her being deceived miserably, so she can't help but remind her.

What Lilia didn't expect was that Karina had an inexplicable trust in Kaplan and didn't listen to her at all. She was unwilling, so she couldn't help but say a few more words. What she didn't expect was that it was so coincidental that Kaplan happened to come in before she could finish speaking!

Fortunately, Kaplan didn't pursue her meaning, but just waved his hand and said, "You go down first." ”

"Got it, young master. Lilia didn't dare to stay any longer and hurried away, fearing that Kaplan would change her mind.

When Lilia ran out the door, Karina asked curiously, "Why did Lilia speak ill of you?" and I sensed that she wasn't lying. But you're not as bad as she says. ”

"Everyone looks at things from a different perspective, so naturally they will have different perspectives. "And Lilia wasn't entirely false: I wasn't a good person before, but I've just changed my ways." ”

"It's good to have changed. ...... But is what Lilia said true?" Karina asked, paused for a moment, surprised. With that, she couldn't help but take a step back.

What did Lilia say to her?Is it necessary to be so afraid?Besides, you've been eaten and wiped clean by me, what's the use of being scared now?

"Didn't I change that now?" and besides, what Lilia said was just a rumor she had heard...... "Kaplan hadn't reassured Karina, and the door was opened again.

"Brother Kaplan, we're here to play with you. "The two children who ran in without notice were two children about ten years old.

They are Kaplan's youngest sister Betty and sixth brother Belin, and they are twin siblings. Among them, Betty is the betrothed of Crook, the captain of the guard.

In Kaplan's experiences prior to his rebirth, neither of them ended well: Belin was killed during Crook's rebellion, and Betty was separated on the run, and was later said to have been captured as a merchant, and eventually became the plaything of a foreign nobleman!

Kaplan had tried to save her, but Betty had been resold several times, and he still couldn't find her whereabouts while fleeing.

While Kaplan was still stunned, Betty stepped forward and grabbed his arm and asked, "Brother Kaplan, you said you were going to take us fishing today, let's go quickly." ”

Despite being the same age, Behring looked a little older and didn't pounce on Kaplan. However, his eyes were also full of anticipation.

Kaplan thought about it for a while, and finally remembered that there was such a thing, but it was an agreement before he was reborn, and he really forgot about it for a while.

Kaplan rubbed Betty's head, and secretly vowed in his heart: this time he will definitely protect this innocent brother and sister.

"You guys go outside and wait, I still have some things to do in a while. Coaxing the two into the hall, Kaplan first led Karina towards the door.

Although the guards chosen were all killed in the battle for the Deduwa family, Kaplan can't guarantee their attitude towards him. For the sake of prudence, he still planned to use Karina's ability to screen it.
