"It's to know him," I said, "to know his weaknesses." ”

"Yes, that's why you asked Marfa to inquire about him, right?"

"Yes, then, we can use this information to analyze this person. As far as Eva Merlin is concerned, he likes to gamble, and his weakness is to save face, and he will not repent of the above two points. ”

"So you just play cards against him?"

"Playing cards is not the only way," I said, "but it's the most convenient way for us right now." ”

"How do you know he's going to keep fighting, boss?"

"A gambler is also a human being, and he also has feelings, and when he is sober, he also wants to stop ......gambling," I said, "What we have to do is to keep creating an environment for him to keep gambling! First of all, I showed up as a non-playing card player and asked him to teach me as a senior, because we started to get along very well, so it was natural. ”

"And what's next?"

"It's the choice of the player, and the opponent is very important to the player who plays," I said, "and we gave him a Fichette...... It's a pleasure for him to meet a new player, play a few rounds with them, study their tactics and beat them, and Fischette has to match him in the first few rounds. ”

"Oh! ”

"We didn't win the first two games and let the old nobles win. The old aristocrat has a conflict with Iva Merlin, of course Iva Merlin can't just forget it, and everyone will lose their minds more and more under the stimulation of wine. ”

"Then you don't have to come out, boss!"

"Hehe, I have to leave. ”

"Why?" asked Jack.

"For Eva Merlin. Fischette is a stranger. Me too. Too unfamiliar an environment can make him wary. If I leave at the right time, he won't be suspicious. ”

"Then boss, why did you give him money?"

"It was further irritating him," I said, "and he took me to play cards and I lost." He's going to feel a little guilty, and if I quit with that excuse, he's not only going to keep fighting, but he's going to win. that they may avenge me. For him, that was a moral reason to support him to fight, and the money was not his own, and he wouldn't care much if he lost...... Slowly, when it was his turn to lose all my money, he wouldn't care because of this inertia......

By the time he came to his senses, it was too late. "Boss, it's scary......"

"Huh?" I turned to look at Jack, "What?"

"Nope. I said the boss is great," Jack said. "That's the defeat of Eva Merlin!"

"I didn't beat him, we just gave him an environment......" I patted Jack on the shoulder, "it was he who beat himself......"

"He beats himself himself?"

"Yes, the best way to defeat a man is to let him do it himself......" I said with a smile, "and what about our lovely Miss Dill Merlin?"

"I've just gotten the news," said Jack, "that she's going to a banquet of a nobleman's wife, and it's very small. ”

"Really, the banquet ......," I thought for a moment, "let's go and have a look, and go back and change our clothes first." ”

..............................

Dressed in black, I sneaked through the garden into a nobleman's house. After observing my surroundings, I climbed up to the second floor along the carved façade, from where various sounds could be heard.

I climbed carefully because there were plants on the wall, and I didn't want to alarm others. So I only rushed up a section when it was a little louder inside, which was really hard.

As soon as I climbed to the balcony on the second floor, I heard someone coming out of it, and I screamed bitterly, shrunk into one of the darkest corners of the balcony, and covered myself with a few pots of flowers and plants.

"Miss Dill Merlin, you ought to know my mind...... one man said eagerly, "you must know it, don't you?"

What a good luck it is for Dil Merlin.

"Honestly, I ...... I don't know!" I remember Dell Merlin's voice clearly, and I cursed secretly, and continued to listen to them.

"Don't you want to know, Miss Dill Merlin?" said the man's voice, "I am not interested in knowing, Mr. Joey," said Deel Merlin, "but you want to say that I have no objection. ”

Well, this man's name is Joey.

"Miss Dill Merlin, don't torture me any more," said Mr. Joy, "you know, I love you!"

"Ha! it's funny," said Deel Merlin, "and I know very well how many girls you have deceived with that." ”

"I'm just playing with them! Believe me, how can they compare to you? I'm sincere to you!"

"I know, you're just trying to play with me," said Miss Dill Merlin, who seemed to have a knack for dealing with such a playboy, "and you don't have to trample on other girls to elevate me." ”

"Miss Diere, you are as indispensable to me as the moon in the sky...... Please give me this opportunity to prove my loyalty to you......"

"Mr. Joy, who will allow you to call me by my name, I don't think we've come to this point!" said Dill Merlin, "and I don't think you're loyal to love!"

"Wait!," said Mr. Joy, very excited, "I will soon find a witness to defend me!"

"Please," said Deel Merlin coldly, "but I won't wait long. ”

Mr. Joy walked into the room, haha! I didn't think I was so lucky, and I had a good show as soon as I came.

"Ah, reckless young man," came an old voice again, "the air here is good, isn't it?

Here's another one, it looks like the show isn't over yet!

"Yes, Mr. Pleje, good evening. ”

"If I'm not mistaken," said Mr. Preye, "Mr. Joy has just courted you?"

"You know, Mr. Prie, I respect you," said Dill Merlin unhurriedly, "and I don't think it's funny. ”

"Really? I apologize. Mr. Pleje said. "So. You didn't promise him, did you?"

"Mr. Prie!" Dill Merlin's tone sounded a little angry, "I rejected him, but it doesn't mean I'm interested in your last mention!"

Oh oh oh oh old-fashioned people still mention yì, interesting, interesting!

"Is there anything wrong with giving up your current life and being with me?" Mr. Pleje, who was rejected again, was a little annoyed, "For the sake of the God of Light! Diel Merlin, look what kind of life you are living now!"

"The way I chose my own lifestyle," says Deel Merlin firmly. "I like it!"

"Like! Wake up early and look at your crumbling clothing store every day? How can you let the years go by, even though you are young and beautiful now, or watch your father squander your hard-earned money?"

"My father loves me very much!" said Deel Merlin, "and it is better to be your mistress anyway!"

"I want you to think about it again!, though I can't give you a good name," Mr. Pleje turned away, "but there aren't many such opportunities, and you should thank the God of Light." ”

Oh, God of Light, you are great! See, they even have to play your sign!

Helt and Moya finally cleaned up the dwarven warrior, but they were still a step too late, and could only watch as Cohen and the magician were locked up in a barrier of branches and vines.

A strange noise came from inside, making the two of them so anxious that they didn't know what to do!

"This damn green barrier!" Helt slashed down with a fierce sword. But only a small opening was left on it, and this small hole was immediately filled by the newly grown vines.

See this qiē. Mo Ya roared loudly with red eyes, urging the soldiers to use the weapons in their hands to cut quickly, and they must rescue the boss!

In fact, there was no need for anyone to shout, the soldiers were also frantically chopping with the things in their hands, although the gaps cut out were filled by vines again and again, but no one would stop.

Because everyone knows that Governor Cohen is good at everything, but magic can't be put on the table, and his magic is not ordinary Cheng Dù.

A person who grew up under the teachings of so many great magicians and even magicians only has third-level magic that makes people laugh off their big teeth, and he is qualified to kill a trainee magician.

Even if there were ten Cohens in it now, it would be a small joke for that powerful and evil magician.

There was no other way, the soldiers slashed hard, believing that they would be able to win this endurance race between man and vine.

At this time, Martin, who had received an urgent report, had already arrived.

"What's going on!" Seeing these soldiers who were doing brutally, Martin became angry: "Why haven't you gone in yet?"

"These things ......" Moya said with a bitter face, "that's all we have!"

"Go away!" Martin pushed away the people who were in the way around him, looked at the vines, and immediately thought of a solution: "The magician first freezes a piece with ice magic, and then a few more people, and the whole piece is knocked down!"

"Pass my orders!" Martin turned to Uncle Mai Ze and said, "order all the troops to start searching, maybe they still have accomplices, and there must be no more such incidents!"

Uncle Mai Ze agreed, turned and ran away.

As Martin spoke, more than a dozen magicians had begun to freeze the same vine at the same time with a large amount of ice-based magic, even the muddy ground where the vines had taken root. Slowly, a large number of ice crystals hung on the vines, they froze and condensed and joined together, and the growth momentum of the vines was finally stopped by the ice magic!

Helt and Moya had already chosen a group of the strongest soldiers next to them, waiting for Grandpa Martin's orders.

"Alright!" Martin waved at him, "It's now!"

Helter howled, and rushed towards the frozen place of the vines with a group of soldiers, and dozens of burly bodies collided with it at the same time, and the strength could not be underestimated.

The vines that had been hit collapsed inward, but slowly stopped, bouncing them back to the hysterical cries of dozens of men!

Although he was very unwilling, Helt had to take people back to the same place, and he had to prepare for the next time.

It was Moya's turn, and dozens of people pressed against the vine together, although this time the vine was a little larger, but they were still bounced back......

It was impacted several times, but it was bounced back again and again, and the vine just held on! Most of the soldiers had been frozen by the magic above and their lips were purple. Some were also scratched by the armor of their comrades and were bloodied. But they all gritted their teeth and insisted. Don't even snort.

At this moment, a terrible howl came from inside the vine barrier, and with this desperate sound, an extremely thick and dazzling pillar of light appeared in the clouds above the head, and hit straight down......

There was an explosion in the vines! The aftermath of the explosion rushed out with a large amount of dust, blowing the corners of the clothes of the people standing outside "hunting", and the strong explosion sound could be clearly heard even by people ten miles away!

This is superior magic! Cohen is at stake!

"Moya!" Helter cried out hoarsely, "Let's rush together!"

Helt shouted as he led his group forward, and the vines crumbled as they crushed.

"Rush!" Moya led people to press on the bodies of Hailt and the others. Everyone is exerting their strength, and the people behind are stepping on the heads of the people in front of them to climb up, and they are all pressing down hard......

Finally, coupled with the weight of its own icing, and the replenishment of new power under the freezing magic, the vine barrier could no longer support it, and collapsed in a "crackling" sound!

Halt was pressed down by dozens of people, and Moya was vaguely heard shouting the name of the boss, crying with trembling in his voice.

Not bothering to wipe the scratched spot on his face by the vines, Helt crawled out of the pile in a hurry. But he saw Mo Ya kneeling on the edge of a huge mud puddle, his face pale.

"Boss!" said Moya, who was dumbfounded, to Helter, who ran to his side, "This ...... Who's the boss?"

Helt looked at the two bodies in the mud pit. It's the same charred black, and the limbs are still entangled.

"Calm down...... We need to calm down!" Helt said to Moya, "The boss will never be fine!

Moya looked at him, nodded and slid down the mud pit.

The two bodies were almost identical, the skin on the surface was burned black, Mo Ya reached out to touch it, who knew that his fingers had just touched one of them, and the body collapsed into a pile of ashes...... "I, I, I ......" Mo Ya didn't know what to do, and looked at the people above with a panicked face.

"Take a good look!" Martin came: "Cohen is wearing an earth armor, which is specially designed to defend against magical attacks, it should still be there, you take a closer look!"

"Yes, yes!" Mo Ya hurriedly looked at the remaining body, and found a layer of clothes on him that was also black and slimy......

"The boss is still there!" Mo Ya didn't dare to touch it again this time: "I see the earth armor!"

Martin and Helt also went down into the mud puddle and looked at the black Cohen.

"Boss, he ......" Moya asked, "will it be ......?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Helt glared at him and said, "Boss will be fine!"

Martin gently touched Cohen's body with his fingers, and unlike the body that had been scattered, only a layer of epidermis was lifted from the place where Cohen's body was touched, revealing the red skin underneath. He put his fingers on the veins in Cohen's neck again, but he couldn't feel a single pulse of the veins.

"Wacky ......"

"Magician!" Martin cried out, "Come here!"

Several magicians ran over, all startled by Cohen's current appearance.

"What magic do you have to keep Governor Cohen's body as it is?" Martin asked, grabbing an elven mage, "We're going to send Cohen back to the Dark City in the shortest possible time, and you need to keep his condition from getting worse!"

"Yes...... Cryotherapy can be used...... Stabilize first. The elven magician said, "That's all we can do!"

"Then do it right away!"

The magicians gathered around and whispered a few words before immediately beginting, first laying Cohen's body flat, carefully cleaning off the dirt on it, and then levitating his body in the air, several hands glowing white together...... Layers of white gas began to envelop Cohen's body, enveloping him completely.

"Sir, we're done! Governor Cohen has been frozen. An elven mage looked at Martin: "But the fifteen-layer freezing technique can't last long, so you must move quickly!"

"Send Cohen back to the Dark City immediately!" Martin kept ordering: "Moya, you go to Darkmoon City immediately, report to Governor Wei Su here, and ask him to come over immediately to take charge of the overall situation! Hailt, when you go to the Holy Capital, you must meet His Majesty Kremer and ask His Majesty for help! By the way, before that, you must go to the Great Magician Wilbur." Tell him to come as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Cohen's body was secured in a stretcher converted from a tent. A few officers carefully carried what looked like a large package. So that dozens of winged soldiers can drag him and fly slowly.

Looking at their distant figures, Martin Luther felt extremely anxious.

He understood that ordinary people had been hurt so badly, maybe it was useless for the God of Light to come in person......

At the same time, there was a voice in his heart that kept saying: "Cohen is not an ordinary person, he will definitely get better!"

Martin Luther turned around and kept giving orders to the army. Restrained his subordinates with his composure. The more extraordinary times this is, the more the army cannot be chaotic.

On the other side of the Dark City, everyone is still waiting for the news of victory, and they don't know anything about what happened to Cohen.

When someone saw their winged soldiers flying back with a large package from a distance, they thought that it must be a very important trophy inside, and there were many children running down there......

No one expected their dear governor to return like this.

His three wives were waiting for him, but they were vaguely informed by the Wingmen soldiers who had arrived earlier that the Doge had been slightly wounded and was on his way back. Captain Martin wants you to be prepared, for the Governor is ashamed of the wounds you were sustained in your first battle. Not in a good mood......

Nor is it that the soldiers deliberately hide anything, in fact. The former lame Governor Cohen is now turned into a roast duck and stops breathing and heartbeat, a matter that no more than ten people have known about until now.

The winged soldiers slowly descended in front of Governor Cohen's tent, along with a letter from Chief Martin to the three governors' wives.

"Ma'am!" said one of the wingmen officers who was in charge of bringing Governor Cohen back, "Chief Martin has instructed that the three ladies must read this letter before opening the tent containing Governor Cohen. Otherwise, because of the wrong method, Governor Cohen will be unnecessarily injured when opening the tent!"

Firin, who was already worried, took the letter, opened it, and turned pale after only a few glances.

When Kelly tried to lean over to take a look, the letter had been calmly put in Firin's pocket.

"I thought it was something, but you must not be blown by the wind, and carry the governor in, and remember to put down the tabernacle. ”

Fei Lin quietly said to the people around her: "Good news for everyone, our army has won!"

"Although we have won, we still need to be on guard outside. Looking at the excited everyone, Firin, who forced a smile on her face, said, "In addition, go and ask His Highness Fichette, we will discuss with the governor about welcoming the troops." ”

Hearing her say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and went about their own business, since the Governor still had to take care of his official duties, then his injuries would not be serious, what kind of person was the Governor?

The soldiers carefully carried the Governor in and laid him on the bed.

"Sister Winsley!" Philene watched the last person walk out, and sat down on the ground as soon as her legs went limp, "Quick!

"Why?" Winsley, who was about to look at Cohen, turned around and asked, puzzled, "Sister Filin?"

"Come on......" Philine's tears flowed, "Cohen is dying!"

Like a loud thunderclap, the news shocked Winsley and Kelly!

"And!" Filine grabbed Winsley, who was running out, "Sister...... Don't let anyone know about it!"

Winsley nodded, took a deep breath, forced down the tears in her eyes with difficulty, and walked out slowly as if nothing had happened.

"Winsley, I heard that Cohen is a little injured...... "It was Fischett who spoke, and he stopped Winsley, who had just come out of the tent, from a distance, "Already back?"

"Yes, a little injury, just can't be affected by the wind. He's going to let you know as soon as he's back!Go and see him, he's already a governor, and he's so willful......" Because there were other people around her, Winsley had to answer like this, with a slight smile on her face, but her heart was about to break.

"Heh, then I'll go see him first. This kid!" Fischette smiled and walked towards the tent: "I don't know what bad idea comes to mind!"

Winsley hurried to her tent......

When the tent cloth wrapped around Cohen's body was gently uncovered by everyone, several people present felt that they were dizzy in front of their eyes, especially Winsley, who had just returned from delivering a letter to her mother. As soon as I saw Cohen's black-and-red body in the ice. And she fell. Frightened, Philin hurriedly put her on the chair next to her.

"Branch...... Kindness. Kelly stretched out her hand, speechless.

"Cheer up, everyone!" As the only man among them, Fischette tried his best to control his feelings, hoping to give everyone confidence in his categorical tone: "Cohen will be fine......! This...... It's just a small thing!"

"Good...... Let's go!" Kelly gently covered Cohen with a blanket, "Aunt Elf will be here tomorrow...... She'll wake up as soon as Cohen arrives......"

"Also!" Grandpa repeatedly emphasized in the letter...... "Philin looked at everyone: "The true situation of Cohen's injury must not be leaked! No matter who the enemy is, since they want to kill Cohen, they must have other preparations." We all have to keep the news tightly sealed. To make them feel that Cohen is okay and that the assassination has failed...... In that case, they will stop for a while, and they will not chase Cohen again at this critical moment!"

Fischer nodded: "Not only that, but also make a festive atmosphere on the whole construction site! Firin, you can go with me to officially announce our victory and arrange some things later." And Kelly, you and Winsley are with Cohen, you can't leave a single step, and we must hold on during the time that Cohen is not awake. Don't let the enemy take advantage of it!"

"Wait a minute......" Winsley, who had just woken up, had tears on her face, "I also want to explain that everything was arranged by Cohen, and the style should be exaggerated." Cohen's character is like this, otherwise people will see flaws......"

Come to think of it, that's true.

Later that day, His Royal Highness Prince Fichette, who was now the highest-ranking man in the Dark Province, convened a meeting in the Doge's tent to make arrangements for how to welcome the victorious army of darkness home.

He was accompanied by Mrs. Philine, the highest-ranking of Governor Cohen's three wives, and almost all the senior and senior officials attended.

Before the meeting began, people were surprised to find that Mrs. Fillin had put on a dress and put on light makeup today, which had never been seen before!

Perhaps because of the news of the victory, Madame Flyn's already energetic eyes were shining brightly, and her face was also flushed, making her dignified and noble now look a little more intimate than usual.

Madame Felin stood by the big tent, talking with the officials, sharing the joy of victory, and her exalted emotions affected everyone who attended the meeting.

And His Royal Highness Fichette, who presided over the meeting today, is now sitting in the place where the Governor usually sits with a bitter face. He held a few grass roots in his hand that he didn't know where to go...... Now, he is still talking about something while chopping the grass roots into small pieces and throwing them on the ground with his feet......

"Cohen, you fellow, you wait for me......" Those who were closer could hear His Highness Fichette whispering, "You are lying comfortably in bed, and you have called me to preside over the meeting...... I'm going to get revenge on you!"

Usually Governor Cohen's friend, after being bullied by someone, feels that he is at a loss, but he can't beat him, he can't make sense, he can't get help, he has no way to go to the court, and there is no basis for complaining...... That's Fichette's expression now!

"See?" the officials exchanged smiles and exchanged ears: "His Royal Highness Fichette has been bullied by Governor Cohen again......"

"Of course, if you think about it, Governor Cohen has been on so many expeditions to come back...... You can be careful, the last time you were scolded is not over!"

"But why didn't Governor Cohen come and preside over the meeting?"

"You're stupid! Don't you see that the two ladies didn't come? Xiao Bisheng is newly married, have you heard of ......it?"

"I don't have a wife, how would I know?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, Governor Cohen knows......"

"All right! everyone is here!" His Royal Highness Fichette clapped his hands after pinching the grassroots, "Now, I'll do that bastard for Cohen...... No, it's for Governor Cohen! I'm going to talk about the topic first......"

Because His Royal Highness Fichette accidentally said the word bastard, the officials below snickered and remembered what had been assigned to their heads, and laughed back at it, if they didn't do their part, they would be stripped of a layer of skin by the Governor...... As for His Highness Fichette scolding the Governor for being a bastard...... The screams of His Highness Fichette tonight will surely be heard throughout the Dark City! This is a dark specialty, and it will never be heard anywhere else.

"Your Highness Fichette!" said an official, with some embarrassment, "it is a bit difficult to hang ribbons on the city walls...... You know, our walls aren't quite built yet!"

"I know what's the use?" said His Highness Fichette, holding his chin in his hand, word by word, "your dear, dear, and always right, itchy Governor, have said, 'If any fellow pushes back, call him to me!' I think maybe you're looking forward to having an interview with Cohen as well...... I'll arrange it for you right away. ”

His Highness Fichette's eyes were shining, which meant ...... There is danger! For someone has been fooled more than once, and he has slammed his head into the tip of the Governor's knife in a bad mood, an old routine that the Governor's brothers have used for a long time.

"No, no! no!" The official shook his hand and said, "I want to ...... We'll have a way!"

"Really?" Because no scapegoat was found, His Highness Fichette seemed a little frustrated: "Do any of you still have problems?"

"No more!"

"Then so be it!" His Royal Highness Fichette seemed to think of something, waved his hand and said to everyone, "Dismiss!"

When Fichette had finished speaking, he ran to Madame Flynn and stood up, and before he could say anything, he put on a sincere smile. (To be continued......)
