The negotiations were over, and the royalists suffered a great blow, but the rebels did not completely let go of their heavy hearts.

"The homework is still insufficient......"

That night, Germain said with a headache as he looked at the information on the table.

"Here, your pick-me-up, my lord. ”

Fein walked over and handed him a steaming cup. Although his real identity is that of Germain's confidant and magical advisor, on the surface, Finn plays a butler.

"Ah, thank you, Finn. ”

Jermain took the cup and took a sip, the warmth with a little spicy taste dispelled the cold of early winter and the feeling of sleepiness.

"What's the matter, my lord?"

Although Finn hated the aristocracy, Germain's polite attitude gave him great satisfaction, and he noticed that the other party was not looking good, the middle-aged man who was about to enter old age asked.

"Looking at these materials, the monitoring of Mage City in the past two years has been completely focused on Isabella's progress in obtaining the status of Archmage, and it seems that I have overlooked this Miss Leah Farain. ”

Jermain frowned.

"Oh, that's amazing, it looks like she's in the Mage City and the Elven Forest more than we thought...... Even the master of the Ten Thousand Laws favored her.

In this way, even if your negotiation plan is successful, we can't easily move this little lady. Well, that's a huge mistake. ”

Finn said after reading the information.

"That's not alright, you need to see it for what it is, Finn. For us, the trouble is not that lady. Rather, it is teleportation with ...... Hymn...... Well, that's what this information calls that kind of blue barrier.

If the royalists really sent her. I'd be happier instead, considering that hurting her might incur the wrath of the Great Sage. Then as long as house arrest is fine, at least for now, there is no sign that Mage City wants to intervene in the civil war with Randall. ”

"Happier because?"

"I also wish I could have such a great talent around me. Oh, I'm not saying you're not good enough, Finn. ”

"I know, teleportation magic is fascinating. If that's your hope, I have a lot of small things in my hands that can control people's minds, such as this bug, which will parasitize in the host's brain......"

"Ahh You're so kind, Finn. That's a good note. ”

Germain had planned for the other man's words, and he didn't really want to listen to them elaborate on the disgusting inventions while he was drinking.

"But I must regret to say that since the princess is unwilling to hand over the little lady, everything we say here is in vain. ”

"Not really, the little lady you speak of will come, I assure you, Finn. ”

Regarding the ruthless truth told by the old man, Germain shook his head with a smile and said:

"Your master is not stupid. Isabella could not have imagined what I could have imagined. From the very beginning, negotiations were just a façade. ”

"Oh? what do you mean ......?"

Finn frowned.

"I mean...... Do you like gambling, Finn?"

Germain didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"I hate games of chance. ”

"No, no, no, gambling is not a game of chance. When many accidental factors collide together, we can always see the inevitable result. Well, how about we make a bet?"

Jermain smiled.

"Oh, what are you betting on?"

"Bet that the princess will send one of the most elite teams. They will sneak into the palace and take the king and queen with them. ”

"If the kind of team that only kills doesn't come. How about you buy Kuta the latest dress in town?"

"Oh no. Change the bet, Finn. I know you're a pet on Kuta, and I've already bought the dress, so won't I never be able to give it away again?"

"Oh, are you so sure you can win?"

At Germain's inexplicable confidence, Fein raised an eyebrow.

"As I said, sometimes gambling only leads to inevitable results, like now. ”

"So confident?"

"Well, you don't have any chance of winning. ”

"But I'm going to bet you on Randall's best dinner. ”

Finn smiled slyly.

"Haha, you see, you're starting to taste the beauty of gambling, and even if I say you don't have a chance of winning, you still have to follow.

Okay, I'll bet on dinner too.

You see, the art of gambling is to give the other person the illusion that they will win, and then there is bait worth betting on. Fortunately, through this negotiation, I found that our king and queen have more weight in Isabella's heart than I ever imagined. ”

"So you've got good bait, but what's the odds? I don't think the princess would be stupid enough to go into a game that must be lost. ”

Finn shook his head.

"Haha, it's very boring to put it bluntly. ”

Jermain smiled, and he picked up his glass, intending to have a drink to refresh himself, when there was a knock on the door.

"Your Majesty! someone in the prison has escaped!!"

An attendant walked in and said.

"Go after it!"

"Yes!"

A brief conversation, and then the squire trotted out of the room.

"My lord, do you want me to ......?"

Fein frowned, he didn't expect this to happen at this juncture. No matter how whimsical Germain's plan was, whether it was a gamble on his own or not, Finn did not want his master's plan to be overdone.

"No, Finn. I believe in your abilities, but those are my important invitations, and I can't laugh at them being wiped out by you. ”

"Important invitations?"

"Yes, the invitation to invite the princess to join the gambling game, our chips are His Majesty and the Queen, and the opponent's chips are the elite squad, of course, I will carefully set the game to the difficulty of the princess if the genius Miss Leah does not come. ”

Jermain smiled confidently.

"I see, I see...... In that case, don't you need to say hello to the captain of the city guard? I am afraid it would be funny if the invitation you carefully prepared was finally brought back by him to ask for credit. ”

Finn smiled knowingly.

"No, he doesn't have that ability. And if you don't even take this kind of drama seriously, you can't help but look down on your opponent too much. ”

Germain shook his head.

"So confident?"

"I said he couldn't do it, he just couldn't do it. How about another lunch?"

Jermain nodded confidently.

"Forget it, I trust your judgment. ”

Finn has been with his master for so long, and the other party can be regarded as having a relatively in-depth understanding.

Germain has no worldly martial arts, nor does he know much magic, but he is adept at spotting the weaknesses of the human heart, inducing his enemies, or stepping into carefully accurate traps and obliterating them, or turning them into pawns in his own hands, and then squeezing all their value.

In front of him, the poisonous snake injected new venom into the body of the royalist, quietly waiting for the moment when the opponent was poisoned and died. (To be continued......)
