In the reception room, a faint flame danced in the fireplace, making a slight "crackling" sound.

After Duke Timius's brief opening speech at the banquet, Zhou Keer was brought here by Nuosha.

Nuosha himself was still standing aside waiting for the arrival of Duke Timius, so Zhou Keer sat on the sofa as a matter of course, crossed Erlang's legs, leaned and leaned on the armrests, his palms clenched into fists, and his head was propped up, looking very comfortable.

But Nosha didn't say anything.

After a while, with a slight "thump" sound, Duke Timius was finally late.

I saw a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair, but on the whole he was still in good spirits, holding a cane in his hand, slowly walking into the reception room, with a serious look on his face, and the deep nasolabial folds made him look very unkind.

He glanced at the scene in the room, but didn't say anything, just slowly walked to the sofa opposite Zhou Ke'er and sat down, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, "I have a general understanding of the situation, but the time is too hasty, and it is not too complete, so now I would like to ask you to tell it from the beginning." ”

Seemingly accustomed to the role of the superior, Duke Timius exited with a commanding tone.

The corners of Zhou Ke'er's mouth hooked, she stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers, and said as if she should be like this: "Since Lord Duke wants to listen to it again, it is necessary." Come, and ask Viscount Nosa to repeat it again for His Excellency the Duke. ”

Duke Timius frowned slightly, glanced at Nosha, and then looked at Zhou Ke'er: "Miss Memoried, you don't seem to want to answer my question?" ”

"Who said that? How can you slander me like that? ”

Zhou Ke'er spread his hands and made a very innocent expression, "I just don't want to repeat what I said, so I ask Viscount Nosha to do it for me - as for the rest of the information, I will tell you after we discuss what benefits should be given to me." ”

Duke Timius narrowed his eyes, "Are you asking me for favors?" ”

"Don't say 'begging', it's like I'm begging. We're fair trade, aren't we? ”

Zhou Ke'er tilted his head and retorted as a matter of course: "Besides... Why can't I ask you for some favor? The information you want is now only what I can give you, right? ”

"I thought that a mere refugee would maintain a certain reverence in the presence of nobles, and it seems that you are now undeserved, and you may need me to remind you personally - although it may dirty my hands, it is necessary."

Duke Timius stood up, slowly walked to Zhou Ke'er, looked at him condescendingly, and threw the cane casually, and the body of the staff was thrown out, revealing the sharp blade.

Zhou Ke'er also stood up, but did not dodge.

"Huh!"

The blade stabbed at Zhou Ke'er fiercely, making a sharp sound of breaking the air.

Zhou Ke'er could tell at a glance that this guy would stop the moment the tip of the sword hit him, purely trying to bluff him with his precise control.

Sure enough, the moment the tip of the sword hit Zhou Ke'er's body, he didn't continue to move forward. Seeing this, Duke Timius glanced at Zhou Ke'er, as if he was about to say something.

But Zhou Ke'er curled the corners of her mouth, and then took a step forward.

The blade of the sword pierced into Zhou Ke'er's lower abdomen without hindrance, and the blood bloomed into a blooming flower on the dark red dress.

"Lord Duke, are you too old? Why did the sword stab over, but it didn't stab in? Shall I help you? ”

Zhou Ke'er still had a mocking smile on his face, and after seeing Duke Timius's pupils shrinking, he took another step forward with the sword blade, and directly penetrated his body, "Look, it's not you who stabbed me now, but I caught you—if this was on the way to escape from the Duchy of Dragon, you would have died a long time ago." ”

As he spoke, he leaned his head forward slightly, leaned closer to Timius's ear, and whispered, "Don't threaten others with injuries, it's not a deterrent at all." If you want to do it, you have to do it - if the sword is aimed at my head, then I don't dare to go forward. ”#29233#21435#23567#35828#32593#62#62#87#87#119#46#105#81#85#120#115#46#99#79#77

Then he reached out and grabbed Duke Timius's hand holding the sword, "Do you need me to teach you how to use the sword?" Lord Duke? ”

Timius's eyes narrowed slightly, and he decisively let go of his sword-gripping hand and took a few steps back.

Zhou Keer couldn't help laughing: "What? Could it be that you are still afraid that I will use this sword against you? I was held back by the sword and didn't take a step back. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled the sword out of his body and threw it aside on the ground.

Viscount Nuosha, who was waiting quietly on the side, didn't say anything, but a cloud of greenish fluorescence lit up in his hand, as if he wanted to treat Zhou Ke'er's wounds.

Duke Timius opened his mouth to speak, and Zhou Ke'er estimated that he probably wanted to say something Don't let Nuosha treat Zhou Ke'er, so he preemptively waved his hand, "You don't have to treat me - if this wound is still there, doesn't it mean that the Duke will do something to his trading partner without saying a word?" I guess that's enough leverage to add weight to my negotiations, right? ”

The blood stains on Zhou Keer's waist were blurred, but there was still a touching smile like a poppy on his face, which made people can't help but be fascinated by it.

Although I can't see the system panel now, I don't know how much blood bar is left, but this kind of small injury is nothing to Zhou Ke'er, on the surface he rejected Nuosha's healing magic, but in fact, he has already secretly used evil to repair the inside of the wound - as long as the organs are repaired as soon as possible, some flesh injuries are nothing.

Duke Timius couldn't help but applaud, "Good. You've managed to qualify yourself for negotiations, now let's talk about the so-called compensation. ”

Obviously, it was the Duke of Timius who took a step back.

However, Zhou Ke'er is not a person who accepts it when he sees it, he still retorted very aggressively: "I didn't win the qualification to negotiate, this is what I should have - I just ripped off your inexplicable high mask - this is a fair deal, not your reward." I think it should be like this. ”

The reason why Zhou Keer dared to be so brave...

Of course, it's because the two people next to him are not his opponents at all, so there is no need to be afraid that they can cause death threats, unlike when they were with Xion and his party, the strength of that group of people is either about the same as him, or they are higher than him, then he will naturally restrain a little - Zhou Keer is always bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.

Zhou Ke'er thought at first how high this guy could be, but it turned out that his own strength was not as high as a quarter of Xi Ang's, how dare he threaten others casually?
