At dawn, the order of the Temple of Life to urgently assemble broke the calm in the castle. Marivian changed into a formal white robe trimmed with gold thread with the seal of a holy nun, and went straight into the lord's bedchamber, but found nothing.

"Your Excellency stayed at the place where Lord Chincha stayed last night, and he has not yet returned, so I don't know what is important to His Highness, so I can order the following to make preparations. The castle steward bowed his head and said respectfully.

In terms of identity, he is a butler, but in fact he is also an elder of the White Lion family. Not only did he know about Antonio's return of the beauty last night, but he was also happy to see it happen, but he didn't know if the highness in front of him was here for this matter, so he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart. After all, nominally, it is very likely that this highness will become the lord's fiancée in the near future.

As for the complicated thoughts in the old butler's mind, Marivien was in no mood to pay attention to them now. What really alarmed her naturally wouldn't be such trivial things. After confirming that the lord was not there, she turned around and left without saying a word.

"Or can we talk to Mr. Pross?" suggested Katyusha whispered behind her.

"The stakes are high and must be decided by the lord himself. Marivian shook her head, quickened her pace, and a white robe fluttered in the wind from the courtyard.

At the hotel where Count Sneck was staying, they still did not see Antonio, and the waiter reported that the lord was too drunk to see the guests.

Marivian reached into the fountain in front of the hotel and scooped out a fist-sized block of ice. It was handed to the stunned waiter and said to him, "Put this in his arms, and the lord will wake up immediately." ”

The effect was immediate, and within three minutes, Antonio was in front of her. It's just that the young lord who was dragged up at this moment was disheveled, unkempt, and looked sleepy-eyed. Looking at his haggard face and dark blue eyes, it must be the price of overindulgence.

"What's going on, Your Highness?" asked Antonio as he slumped on the couch and said in a hoarse voice.

There was a hint of coldness on Marivian's face, but it wasn't obvious. She stood up and said in a serious tone: "Lord Lord, the Temple of Life received information last night that a serious plague had broken out in the city of Marseon on King's Road, and the epidemic was spreading too fast to be controlled, and the local lords were asking for help from the surrounding areas. ”

"A plague broke out?" Antonio was taken aback by the news. The previous news of the plague had come from the counties of the far north, so everyone didn't particularly care. This time, however, the plague appeared in the city of Marseille, the southern starting point of the King's Road, only thirty kilometers from Isttalen, and it would not take even a day to reach it at a gallop.

If the city of Macaine could not control the spread of the plague, then Isttalon would be in danger at hand, and in the sanitary conditions of the present era, no matter how much precautions were made, it would be difficult to escape.

"What do you want to do, Your Highness?" Antonio asked, straightening up.

"The main purpose of the Temple of Life coming to the North this time is to stop the plague. Marivian said in a deep voice: "I will lead the Shrine of Life to Masaien to participate in the rescue and investigation, and I hope that the lord will make it convenient." ”

"No problem. Antonio nodded and said, "Whatever Your Highness needs, I will definitely fully cooperate." ”

"We intend to set out immediately, and Isttalon's martial law has not yet been lifted, and we hope that your lord will be accommodating. Mary Vien spoke.

"No problem, you can take my token and hand it to Anderson, and say it's my order. Antonio nodded, removed a ring from his finger with the White Lion family crest, and handed it to Marivian.

When the nun took the ring, she looked at Antonio deeply, but without any expression on her face, she stood up respectfully and saluted.

Coming out of the hotel, Marivian's face was cold and she didn't say a word, and her gloomy attitude made the rough Katyusha have to care, and the other Maple Leaf nuns hid far away and didn't dare to approach.

"Is there a problem, Sister Marivian?" asked Katyusha in a low voice as she looked around warily and followed Marivian's footsteps.

"It's not my generation that's the problem, it's the lord. Marivian replied in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"It's normal for mortal nobles to indulge in wine, and looking at the appearance of that adult, maybe it's the first time, and young people really don't know how to control themselves. Katyusha shook her head with emotion.

"Today's lords are very different from the past. Mary Vien said worriedly.

"Yes, after changing from a boy to a man, I will mature physically and mentally. Katyusha nodded, looked at Marivian with deep meaning, and said with a smile on her face: "Sister Marivian, it seems that the minister seems to want to stir up a relationship between us and the White Lion family. ”

"Controlling the epidemic is the top priority. Marivian's face remained unchanged and she said calmly.

Count Snecker stood on the balcony on the second floor of the hotel, watching the nuns walk away through the curtains, and could not help but raise a smug smile on his lips. He picked up a piece from the board in his hand and pushed it forward two squares again.

"My lord, Leon's corpse was seen last night, and Master Ciro and Captain Luthor have not been contacted until now, and Pross has not appeared until now......" The attendant leaned over and whispered.

"I know, don't be nervous. Count Snecker shook his finger, sat down and took a slow sip of black tea from his teacup.

"With the secret support of Master Ciro, it is impossible for Pros to be able to eat the hard bone of the Sisiary Thieves, so let them entangle. It is better to guide the hound as far away as possible, so that it will be convenient for us to do so. ”

He looked at the two guests across the couch, looked at them carefully for a moment, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Master Stephen is truly the most powerful alchemist in China, and this camouflage mask can be made so seamlessly in such a hurry. ”

The two guests sitting opposite, one was Master Stephen, and the other was actually Antonio, the white lion lord who had just met Marivian!

"Although the appearance and voice can be imitated, the personality and temperament that individuals have cultivated over the years are not easy to learn. Stephen looked at the overtired young lord beside him, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Overindulgence...... This reason for covering up is too lame, and I think Her Royal Highness the Holy Sister may have seen the flaw. After all, Antonio's might as a lord is difficult for others to imitate. ”

"It's just a vase from the Temple of Life, even if she senses the abnormality, it is impossible for her to directly see through our trick of stealing the sky and changing the day. Count Snecker said indifferently, "But your disciple has performed so well this time, but I am impressed. I didn't expect our little lord to like this pure taste......"

"With all due respect, Lord Count, you'd better not underestimate the wisdom of Her Highness Marivian. Stephen hesitated, but continued to persuade: "As the chosen person of the goddess of life, her eyes are the eyes of the goddess, and she is born to understand all things. Trying to make a ghost in front of her is tantamount to playing with fire. ”

"You're overthinking, Master Stephen. Prudence is a virtue, but excessive caution will only hold people back. Count Sneck slowly drank the black tea in his cup, raised his head and stared out the window at the clear sky, a meaningful smile on his lips.

"What's more, if they leave this time, I'm afraid there will be no chance to come back. Now Istalon is in our hands. ”

"What?" Stephen couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, "Lord Earl, could it be true that the information about the outbreak of the plague in Marseille City?"

"If you can't see the truth, do you think those nuns will be in such a hurry to leave?" Count Sneik laughed, "What awaits them will be an unimaginable surprise!"
