"Although Martin is very large, he is actually very delicate in his mind, otherwise he would not be able to be the lord of Bordle City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Rogie said to Moli.

It was approaching evening, less than two hours before the scheduled meeting with Martin. Mo Li and Luo Ji stood at a long table with a floor plan of the Upper West Side, in which the situation of the city lord's mansion was particularly detailed, and even the route of the patrolling soldiers was gently drawn.

This was provided to the two by Grace, and the devil knows why he had such a thing, but I have to say that this information is very helpful to the two of them.

"According to the information provided by Grace, the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion is heavily guarded. Rogie continued: "But he's made arrangements that at seven o'clock tonight, the Lower West guard will make a little 'little mistake' during the shift change, and then there will be an hour-long vacuum to 'meet' Martin." ”

Mo Li thought for a moment and said, "Martin must have known that we have Grace's support, so he should be able to guess that the guards of the Lower West Side can no longer be relied on. ”

"Yes. The girl nodded: "So this is a situation that both sides know very well, I will go to meet Martin alone, and you keep his personal guard out for as long as possible." ”

"Martin will meet you?" Moli asked.

"Yes, if he doesn't even dare to see me, it only means that he is my enemy through and through. ”

"What if we can't talk after we meet?" Moli asked again.

"Then I'll have to do it!" the girl said this, and actually smiled.

"Listen to Grace, Martin's strength is about the same as him, you have to be careful. Mo Li said tirelessly.

"What's the matter, are you worried about me?" the girl smiled, "Don't worry, he's only the strength of the fourth level of the Blood Guard......"

"It's just the strength of the fourth level of the Blood Guard?" I'm about the same! Mo Li suddenly wanted to complain.

But then again, although Rogie was only able to exert five percent of his strength, he still believed that the girl was good enough to deal with Martin, and the easy killing of several assassins that day left a deep impression on Moli.

"There is one more enemy. "The Moonblade Knights escaped after the failed assassination, and they may still have the strength to do so, and if they're not prepared to give up, your meeting with Martin is likely to be the time for them to do it." ”

The girl tilted her head cutely and said, "Actually, we can think of it this way: if I negotiate with Martin, the Moonblade Knights will have no chance at all, and if I and Martin have a broken talk, it will be nothing more than that they and Martin both want to kill me, so that we can see the two as one enemy." So the most important thing is Martin's attitude. ”

Mo Li thought about it, although he felt that the girl had some truth in what he said, but he always felt that it was still a little weird.

"You're so optimistic!" he said.

"After all, my life has hit rock bottom, maybe I will be able to bottom out soon?" said Rogie with a smile.

......

7 p.m.

When Moli and Rogie arrived on the Lower West Side, there was no one around.

"It seems that Grace is still very reliable. Mo Li whispered, "Then we will act according to the plan?"

The girl bowed slightly, and the two walked along the deserted street, towards their destination tonight.

The Lord's Mansion, where Martin worked and lived, was a seven-story stone building, and the tall spire of the building came into view after the two of them walked for long.

Soon, the two of them came to a small square in front of the mansion, and—

They saw Martin.

The world is unpredictable. Mo Li looked at the situation in front of him, and this word involuntarily popped up in his heart.

Martin stood in the middle of the square, his massive body looking like a hill, and behind him were the well-armoured, sword-unsheathed personal guards, numbering about a hundred.

The two thought that Martin would pretend to negotiate and secretly ambush the personal guard, and also thought that Martin was not hostile and sincerely negotiated with Rogie alone, but after a lot of thought, they didn't expect Martin to come to the square with the personal guard and stop Rogie and Moli openly.

If he wanted to do it publicly, why didn't he do it two days ago, but wait until now?

Or did he actually have no intention of making a move, but just put his strength out to show his sincerity?

Apparently Rogie was also a little confused, and she asked bluntly, "Are you going to do something to me?"

Martin nodded.

The girl frowned and asked again, "What are Andrea's conditions for you?"

Martin's voice did not sound, but behind the two of them, a neat and heavy footsteps sounded. On the street leading to the square, a group of soldiers surrounded them, completely cutting off the back road of the two.

Grace was indeed able to control the vast majority of the army in Berdel City, but Martin, as the lord of the city, also had his own lineage in the army of Berdel City.

Seeing that the two of them had nowhere to escape, Martin finally spoke: "The tax on Badel City is reduced to thirty and a half percent, allowing me to expand the army of Badel City by fifty percent. ”

"That's all?" asked Rogie.

"Andrea has sent me a message that if I don't submit to her, the next time the Cult of the Stars invades, there won't be a reinforcement from Badel City. ”

"I see. Rogie nodded, indicating that she understood, but understanding did not mean that she could understand. Mo Li saw that the feelings in the girl's bright red eyes changed from disappointment to anger, and from anger to sadness, and finally even the sadness gradually disappeared, leaving only ice-like indifference.

Mo Li suddenly understood. Lucky had been so optimistic until then, perhaps because she had always believed that Martin would not betray her?

This kind of trust may not even be realized by the girl herself, but she herself has said that "there are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends". But Birdel City was different to her, she had saved the city, and the people of the city had never forgotten her kindness.

So Rogie thinks that Martin won't betray her either.

But perhaps, in Martin's view, his choice has nothing to do with betrayal, but just profit?

"Lend me my knife. The girl's voice rang in my ears.

Although this sounded like an inexplicable sentence to others, Mo Li immediately understood what she meant.

The short knife in his burning body was now in his hand, and it was Rogie's weapon.

He handed the knife to the girl, who took it, slashed it lightly on her left wrist, and then returned the knife to Moli.

Bright red blood gushed out of her slender and white wrist, condensing into a sword in Rogie's hand.

"Let's do it. She said to Martin, without a hint of expression on her face.
