Chapter 250: Arranged?
"Shut up, why are you still addicted!"
Louise was dancing with her teeth and claws, she touched her wrist, smoothed out the goosebumps that had just arisen on the surface of her skin, took a sip from her wine glass, and began to change the subject:
"To be able to make such a high-quality red wine, it takes enough knowledge and craftsmanship, and Mr. Osman's estate must also be quite large and long-standing, right?"
"Yes, it's not." Osman shook his goblet, leaned back in his chair, and said something ambiguous.
He then added to himself: "I am not the eldest son of the Wolf family, I have no right to inherit the title, and my distribution of property is also limited, and the estate I bought from a down-and-out nobleman is not known for its exact history, but it will be in my hands for a long time." ”
"Who gave you confidence? Those who don't know think you're a demigod or even an angel! ”
Looking at Osman with a confident smile on his face, Louise noticed that the young nobleman seemed to be deliberately showing off his excellence, like a peacock with the screen open...... So, who is he "estrus" to?
"I'm sure you can accomplish your goals." Louise quickly brushed aside the ridiculous thoughts in her mind and raised her glass in agreement.
Then, after two seconds of silence, she began to say tentatively:
"As far as I know, the 'Desperate Lady' is working with MI9, or some of Rune's more hidden forces, on the transfer of people from the Southern Continent to Beckland, will our mission for the next time be related to this?"
At this time, Osman was no longer the "peacock who opened the screen", but became a qualified intelligence officer, and replied without leaking:
"We'll know when the mission is given."
Then, without waiting for Louise to react, he leaned forward slightly, made a strange gesture, and continued:
"I heard that Ambassador Intis Beckron died at a ball hosted by you."
Louise glanced at him expressionlessly, and replied lightly:
"Mr. Baker Lang disappeared on his way back to the embassy after leaving the ball, and MI9 has concluded that the assassin was Mr. A of the Aurora Society."
Osman chuckled lightly, indicating that he had no intention of offending, and he leaned back on the sofa and said lightly:
"Although that case is not under my jurisdiction, I have taken the time to read the closing report, and the image of Miss Louise described above is like that of you now!"
"Because at that time, I was just a weak and helpless poor woman!" Louise smiled, blinked mischievously, and replied in a "witch" manner, with crooked eyebrows:
"And what you see now is the completely defensive, completely real me."
Osman seemed to believe this explanation, laughed heartily twice, and raised his glass:
"I am honored and believe that our cooperation in the future will also be very tacit, your Excellency the future demigods."
Louise said modestly, "That's just the expectation of the 'Desperate Lady', and I don't dare to have such extravagant expectations." ”
"That's not true." Osman raised his hand and pressed down: "Being treated like this by a demigod is enough to show how good Miss Louise is, compared to that ......"
He paused for a moment, then remembered again and said, "You definitely have an advantage over Triss." ”
Finally got to talk about Triss...... Louise was secretly happy in her heart, she had just deliberately mentioned this matter, in addition to testing the "Desperate Lady", she was also talking to Osman.
Don't forget, the ball where Triss and Prince Edssack met was held at Osman's house!
Since I was warned that I didn't have to get involved, but if I induced others to interfere, it didn't matter to me...... Louise's mind was in a hurry, and she asked curiously:
"Do you know Triss?"
Osman laughed and explained: "The woman who is qualified to be taken the initiative by Edsak, except for Miss Audrey, Triss is the first, not to mention that the latter is also a civilian woman, it is difficult for people not to understand!" ”
"I think Triss will have her own mission and won't get entangled with Prince Edsak."
Louise said, especially on the words "task" and "entanglement."
Osman's eyes rolled slightly, nodded thoughtfully, and then chatted enthusiastically about some other interesting things, until Louise took his leave.
…………
On the return carriage, Louise gathered the smile on her face and pondered the meaning behind the mission.
She originally thought that Triss had been confirmed as the "Original Witch" God Descent Vessel, but based on the words of the "Desperate Witch" Panatia today, it seems that she has not escaped the entanglement of this matter.
How to ensure the smooth growth of Triss, the "container", is a problem that Louise needs to consider.
Otherwise, if something happens to Triss, it will be terrible for the "Witch Sect" to put themselves on top...... Louise was reluctant to use herself to confirm the attitude of the "original witch" Cheek towards herself.
There is also the task assigned by the "Nightingale of Despair": cooperate with Osman, what to do together?
It seems to be the custom of the "Witch Sect" to cooperate with the royal faction, with the "witch" paired with a noble officer, but Osman's enthusiasm for Louise is somewhat unusual, which casts a shadow over the latter's heart.
A story that is highly similar to Triss, with a fake "love at first sight"-style favorability...... Louise almost thinks that she is being arranged by "0-08", but Tingen's story proves that her "secret" state is enough to resist the perception of "0-08"!
Could it be that Ince Zangwill was promoted to a demigod, and "0-08" was also promoted?
“
Or is Osman just a simple "see-off idea", and nothing else?
In short, it all depends on the follow-up development, whether you will encounter coincidences repeatedly...... Also, it was time for the Sequence Five potion recipe to be on the agenda, and Louise's sense of urgency was raised again.
When she returned home, she met Audrey, Forth, and Miss Hugh, who had been waiting for a long time.
…………
In Beckland's Queens, in an ordinary manor house, the full-length mirror in the room on the third floor suddenly shimmered, and the mirror surface spread out like water waves, and a woman who combined two diametrically opposed styles of demure and charm walked out, it was the "Witch of Despair" Panatia.
She moved lightly to the next room, where sat a middle-aged man, with a knife-like facial contour, a calm and capable expression, and the fly in the ointment was that he was blind, and it was the defective archbishop of the Church of the Night Goddess, Ince Zangwill.
"The story hasn't shifted, has it?" Panatia asked.
Ince Zangwill, who had been promoted to "Night Watchman", opened his eyes, glanced at the wooden box on the table, and replied in a deep voice:
"Everything works."
