Richard is not without experiencing women, and there is no shortage of women. With his current strength, identity and status, whether in Norland or Farrow, he can have as many women as he wants. And as his strength and power further increase, there will be more and more opportunities for a girl of Luoqi's level.

Duke Mensa can give Luoqi as a bargaining chip to Duke Schumpeter, because he feels that the benefits of annexing Schumpeter far outweigh Luoqi himself. This is the simple and clear logic of the aristocracy. And Richard thinks that he may not be as good as Duke Schumpeter now, but how can Duke Schumpeter be compared to him in the near future?

This was Richard's idea, and it was a common perception among the aristocracy. However, Lucky is truly special, and she has managed to break the perception of many people, including Richard's. Otherwise, in Richard's original plan, he was ready to humiliate and ravage her. In the fight against Mensah and Schumpeter, Richard had already made up his mind and used all means.

But under Richard's sharp gaze, Luoqi still stood quietly, with no intention of leaving.

Richard's face turned cold, and he said lightly: "Do you really plan to have something to do with me? ”

Luo Qi sighed lightly and said, "Richard, do you really want to let me go back?"

"How else?" asked Richard.

"But have you ever thought about what will happen if I go back now?" Luo Qi whispered.

"You're just famous, aren't you?"

Luo Qi smiled bitterly and said, "How can it be so simple? Duke Schumpeter has been greatly humiliated after this bet, and according to normal practice, he should break off his marriage to me." Then I would return to Mensa as a symbol of family shame and become the plaything of someone or someone from now on. My body can also become a bargaining chip and a tool to exchange something. But Duke Schumpeter would not do this! he had no way out anyway, and was destined to be annexed by Mensa, so he would certainly continue the engagement, and might even ask for an immediate marriage, so as to get me completely. At that time, all I remember of being in the Schumpeter family was all about insults and abuses of all kinds. If you inquire, you should know that Duke Schumpeter has a penchant for abusing and killing young girls. So if I go back now, there will only be two endings, becoming the plaything of Mensa or being the plaything of the Schumpeters. ”

Richard admits that what she said has a good chance of coming true. Vinica is not like her, and her experience is still a secret to the extent of her suffering. Moreover, the current controller of the Gordon family is at least nominally Richard, and Richard has no place in his heart to have fun, and it is impossible to allow the rest of the clan to turn Venica into a plaything. But there are many other noble and wealthy members, and this kind of thing is endless.

Seeing that Richard didn't speak, Luo Qi looked at Richard and sighed lightly, "Why me?"

Richard spread his hands and smiled, "You happen to be there." Then Masase said: "Because you are the best choice, you can hit Mensah and Schumpeter at the same time, especially Schumpeter." When striking an opponent, it is best to get rid of the biting dog first. ”

Luo Qi said, "Indeed...... However, I would like to ask, can I choose a third ending?"

"The third ending? Richard was a little surprised. She's already had more than one accident.

Luoqi said without hesitation, "Let me stay." ”

Richard's expression remained unchanged, and he asked rhetorically, "In what capacity?"

Luo Qi's voice was calm and firm: "Whatever identity." A maid, a prisoner, a refugee, or your lover, your bed partner, you can do it. But I only accept you, and if you let someone else touch me, then I will kill myself. Because it's no different from going back. ”

Richard finally showed a hint of helplessness and a little sarcasm, and said, "Don't you want to be Mensah and Schumpeter's plaything, but want to be my plaything? Okay, tell me what you really think, and if you want to stay, what's the best way for you?"

Luo Qi hesitated for a moment before saying seriously: "I am very smart, I can also do some magic, and I have awakened the bloodline ability. I want to be able to get a place through these things, not through the guò face and body. ”

Richard smiled and said, "You are very ambitious, but this idea is also very unrealistic. Change one!"

Luoqi's face was a little pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Then add my face and body." ”

Richard finally nodded and said, "That's pretty much it, enough to qualify for my asylum." Okay, you go down first, and I'll let the butler arrange for you. You can stay on the floating island first, and tomorrow I'll be back to the Pharo plane, and I'll think about what to do with you when I come back next time. ”

Luoqi said, "You can take me to Faro with you." ”

Richard glanced her up and down, and said lightly, "No need, I don't want to bring a burden, and plane teleportation is expensive." Everyone knows that we in Akmund are poor. ”

After saying that, Richard rang the bell rope, and the old butler walked in. Richard instructed Luo Qi to find a place to live, and after no one else came to ask for anyone, he asked the old butler to take Luo Qi away.

The study finally fell silent, and Richard sat down at his desk and began to plan his actions back in Faro.

First of all, he wants to sort out the harvest again. In terms of income, there were seven million of Maple Fragrance Amber and three million of three suits, plus ore and metal, which totaled 10 million and hundreds of thousands of weapons and equipment, and the fraction was given to the old housekeeper to maintain the operation of the floating islands and territories and the cost of recruiting soldiers for the troops. Four hundred forged obsidian weapon embryos were enchanted at the cost of a hundred, and in a month, Richard would have a full three hundred Constructed Knight-level weapons.

With this return, Richard received enough equipment from Norland to arm a thousand of the most elite knights, at least for a while, and he didn't have to worry about equipment for the time being. Even if you count the two hundred sets of knightly equipment that you have to give to Duke Blue Wolf, Richard can still have eight hundred sets of equipment left in his hand. That's nearly 200 days of production for the brood.

However, Richard's process of calculating the benefits is very slow, and the figure of Luoqi will float in his mind from time to time, and they are all inadvertently made, but they make people spurt blood. The lingering images of the extreme impact made Richard's efficiency very low.

At the same moment, in a secluded bar in Faust, Raymond was sitting by the window, watching the seventh-string moon slowly moving from the side of the sky, swallowing a somewhat bitter liquor in one gulp. The wine was as thick as fire, burning in his mouth, igniting a line of fire from Raymond's throat to his stomach.

As Raymond poured himself another large glass of spirits, a hand suddenly reached out and pressed his hand.

Raymond wasn't drinking alone, and across from him sat a man in a head-covered robe. The low brim of her hat obscured most of her face, and she could only be judged by her figure to be a woman. In a slightly hoarse voice, she said, "You can't drink anymore unless you want to die in three years." ”

Raymond smiled miserably and said, "Isn't it more painful to be alive now than to die?"

The mysterious woman said slowly: "You could have intervened in this matter today. ”

"Intervene? How can I intervene? Even if I can stop Richard, can I send Locky back to Mensa and let her fall back into Schumpeter's hell?!" Raymond roared like a beast with red eyes. Even though he was full of alcohol and couldn't speak clearly, Raymond still lowered his voice, so that the voice could only be heard by the mysterious woman opposite.

This is Raymond's sorrow, even if he wants to drink to drown his sorrows, but before he gets drunk, his body will always be unable to bear it. So at all times, Raymond is always conscious.

He broke away from the woman's hand a little rudely, then poured half a glass of liquor into his throat in one gulp, and exhaled a mouthful of wine before saying, "I know her as well as she knows me." She is a very smart and thoughtful girl. I knew that once she went to the floating islands of Akmund, she would find a way to stay. No matter who you follow, it's better than going back to Schumpeter's old pervert. ”

The mysterious woman watched Raymond take another glass of wine, and suddenly said, "I can help you." ”

"Help me? You're crazy. When Raymond heard her words, he immediately laughed, but the laughter was desolate and sad, "Look at the fate of Kane Mensa! Our Emperor Xià has finally revealed one of his fangs, isn't the meaning of the expression clear enough? Do you want to fight against the bloodthirsty Philip?"

The mysterious woman was speechless.

Her face, hidden under the hood, looked young, at most about Raymond's size. For the younger generation, no matter how amazing and brilliant, His Majesty the Emperor is a behemoth that cannot be disobeyed.

After venting, Raymond looked calmer, sighed, and said slowly: "Actually, in the final analysis, I still don't have the strength to protect Luoqi." If I can get the Joseph family to fully support me, maybe I can change Luoqi's fate. But now I only have a few years to live, and the patriarch of any wealthy family will not fight against a wealthy family like Mensa for a young son who can only live for a few more years, and I don't even have the value of making a deal with Mensah. ”

"Fate can change! It's too late to get to Akmund. The mysterious woman said in a deep voice.

"It's too late. Raymond shook his head, then looked out the window, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Actually, this may be the opportunity she has always wanted to change her fate." I can't help her make it happen, maybe...... Richard can't you?"

When Raymond finished his last sentence, a wind blew, and even Faust, which was like spring all year round, made people feel boundless and gloomy.
