The next day.

Two old acquaintances from Buck's Bookshop are here again.

One is Dennis and the other is Lillian.

Dennis's purpose for coming was very clear, and he also made it clear that he was only here to convey the meaning of some people, and he needed Nie Yuan to go to sea.

But if Nie Yuan refused, he also understood, because this was not purely the meaning of the United Church, and Dennis must have known.

However, as the person in charge of Buck's bookstore, this kind of news can only be conveyed by him.

Nie Yuan actually had a bottom in his heart when he saw him, so he didn't show much surprise.

Instead, after a while of muttering, he agreed.

This surprised Dennis, he didn't expect this kid to be so good at talking today?

But before he could speak, Nie Yuan bluntly threw out his conditions, which can be regarded as a lion's mouth.

Dennis laughed, thinking that this was normal, it was so cool just now, I was a little unaccustomed to it.

In the end, Dennis, as the person in charge, also directly gave Nie Yuan the highest authorization amount he could give.

This time he didn't deceive Nie Yuan, and he could even be regarded as sincere, and he made clear his authorization amount for this incident, and the cap was only so much.

You just have to look at it, and if you want more, then I won't have it.

That being said, the amount Dennis offered far exceeded the reasonable remuneration for this mission.

After all, he just went to investigate and tried to contact the Haiyan, not to solve it directly, but he gave a reward equivalent to solving a super large fourth-level incident, which is enough to see the cattiness.

If you can play beyond the norm and solve the Haiyan incident, it will naturally be an unexpected joy, and the remuneration will be increased additionally.

It can also be seen from Dennis's attitude that he is undoubtedly on the side of Buck's bookstore this time.

Not only did he not bargain, but he also agreed to all the conditions he could agree to Nie Yuan.

In fact, he also knew that at this point in time, it was the United Church that sent Nie Yuan and them to the sea, away from the royal city.

But there are too many deep reasons for it, and Dennis has no way to stop it, so he can only fulfill his due responsibility as the person in charge.

Compared with many church members, Dennis, who is usually not in tune, has his own persistence and belief as a clergyman in some things.

But many times, he is also helpless.

Therefore, after completing the negotiation with Nie Yuan, Dennis could only send a sincere sentence: "Good luck Nie Yuan, return soon." ”

In addition, there is no other way, what you can do is basically done.

Since Nie Yuan chose to accept the task of going to sea, he must also have his own considerations and confidence.

And Nie Yuan himself also knew Dennis's thoughts and difficulties, so he didn't embarrass him, just smiled and let him remember what he had promised, and then said goodbye to him.

After Dennis left, Nie Yuan wanted to go out.

Because he said that day that he would meet Lillian once before leaving the royal city.

But before he could get ready for his journey, Lillian came to the door on her own.

For Nie Yuan's departure, Lilian was also mentally prepared, and did not do much to keep them, but just like Dennis, let him go early and return early.

In addition, he also conveyed to Nie Yuan that the mysterious sect admired him very much.

Then, the two had some in-depth discussions on the mysterious sect and the major factions in Wangcheng.

Buck and the others also joined in, or rather, in these matters, Buck is the protagonist, mainly he and Lilian are discussing.

Not only because Buck has unique insights and vision, but also because after Nie Yuan and the others left, everything in Buck's bookstore needed him to manage.

Of course, Lillian's relationship with the other factions had to be clear to him.

In short, now Lilian is basically destined to be on the opposite side of the Duke of Stanley's side.

Among them, there are not only old grudges, but also the factor of Lillian's friendship with Gladys's faction.

No matter how you look at it, Duke Stanny can't treat her well, but will treat her as an established enemy.

Gladys, on the other hand, is eye-catching with Lillian every day, and the relationship is steady and gradual.

Even Lillian had a few private exchanges with Gladys, and the two of them were more happy, whether it was public or private, the relationship between the two sides was definitely better than Lillian's other factions, and I don't know where it was better.

However, an incident yesterday made Lilian's position in the royal city very delicate.

That was Prince Lawrence's man, who officially received Lillian and, intentionally or unintentionally, threw an olive branch to her.

Lilian was also very surprised at the time, she was unsure, and she didn't know why Prince Lawrence's attitude towards her had changed in such a way.

At first, she just wanted to try, or rather, make it for others to see.

Since most of the magnates in the royal city felt that they might have an ambiguous relationship with Prince Lawrence by virtue of Nie Yuan's relationship with Jack.

Then I just follow their ideas and really do that.

After all, if you want to put the matter of adding the duke to work on it directly, and inherit your father's position as duke, you will definitely encounter a lot of resistance.

So it would be good to test Prince Lawrence's attitude, and let the imps under the throne of Hades on all sides not understand their own situation, and they would not dare to jump out easily to make trouble on the way to pursue the succession to the duke's throne.

It's just that I didn't expect Prince Lawrence to be so refreshing, and he chose to accept himself directly.

This was beyond Lilian's expectations, and it made her feel like she was in a dilemma.

Even before contacting Prince Lawrence, he had already surrendered to Gladys, showing his intentions, and expressing his willingness to help Gladys as a pawn, test Prince Lawrence's attitude, and try to get close to his faction.

But Lawrence's green light on the other end still made Lilian a little at a loss, she didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

At this time, even if Gladys trusted her again, she knew that Lillian had little chance of falling to Prince Lawrence, and it was inevitable that people would wonder if she could become a two-faced faction who swayed on both sides, left and right, and was indecisive.

This suspicion, if not handled carefully, will be further and further widened at the urging of others below Gladys.

But it's not without its benefits.

In that case, at least two imps under the throne of Yama would not dare to attack Lilian easily.

Because since Lilian couldn't even grasp the attitude of those two, let alone the others.

At least Lillian seems to have a choice right now, and most of the imps are firmly tied to the same boat, and if they make a wrong step, they will really be doomed.

However, this situation will definitely not last, as long as either Prince Lawrence or Gladys directly expresses their attitude, then Lillian will directly become the public enemy of many parties.

At that time, even if there is no choice but to turn to the side that has not expressed its position, it is destined to be difficult to be trusted and reused.

Moreover, it is certainly not a good thing to go on left and right in the long run.

Even if many imps can't figure out the above attitude now, as time goes on, they can try it out and unite together.

I deceived you an inch today, and there was no statement on it.

Tomorrow I will deceive you again, and there is still no statement from above.

Then many people can rest assured that they will unite together and deceive you again.

What Lillian needs to do is to make Prince Lawrence and Gladys willing to stand up for her, so as to continue to suppress the imps below.

Even if you have to choose one side in the end, you will not leave room to fight with the other side to show your sincerity.

But during this period, Lilian can use her specific identity to do too much without either side doing it easily.

Maybe it can also be a lubricant for both sides, and in some things, let the two sides reach a short-term cooperation.

For example, jointly suppressing Duke Stanley, which satisfies the common interests of both parties, can also be one of the ways for Lillian to achieve revenge.

In this process, her "two-faced" status may be able to be consolidated.

It's like two armies fighting each other and not cutting them off.

A useful, even the only intermediary, cannot be easily erased.

However, whether it is Lilian herself, or Buck, Nie Yuan and others know that it is very dangerous to do so.

Lillian must take every step of the way to secure her position and avoid being set on fire by many parties.
