"By the way, who is holding this ball? It shouldn't be Duke Negan, right? ”

Halfway through the car, Roy suddenly became alert.

Duke Negan ......

This great nobleman has not been very lucky lately, and if he gets involved, he may not be affected by the pond fish.

"No, Duke Negan is the leader of the Conservative Party, and he is an enemy of us Feneport people and the Earth Church, how could he invite us to participate?"

Liana shook her head, then explained, "It's Count Wolfe. ”

Count Wolfe?

Roy searched his mind for a memory, and then remembered who the other person was.

The same is the Conservative Party.

But.

Unusually, due to the repeal of the Grain Act, the income of the Earl of Wolf fell so badly that he sold a full 840,000 acres of land.

Now he has a large sum of money on hand, and there is not much land left, say Conservative, but ......

In a sense, it is also possible to contact and communicate.

The corners of Roy's mouth lifted slightly.

"I think it's going to be a great show."

"Yes, Mr. Greene, every party wants to win them, you know, a lot of Conservatives have sold their property over the years and started investing."

Liana smiled, "The Wolf family has a lot of money on hand right now, and everyone wants his support. ”

In addition to the money, they also have a collection of masks of the descendants of the Grim Reaper.

Because of these collections, the aristocracy will be targeted by some extraordinary people......

Roy said in his heart.

But.

Since it wasn't Duke Negan's ball, he wasn't too worried, at most there was a small accident.

Roy closed his eyes.

"By the way, Intis' ambassador, Beckron, seems to be there too."

Liana said suddenly.

Roy was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then said, "That intelligence chief? ”

"Intelligence chief? Does he still have a job like this in Beckland? ”

Liana was surprised when she heard this.

Then, thoughtfully, she said: "Indeed, as an ambassador, he is the most convenient." ”

"Well, I have a friend who has a conflict with them, so I know who the other person is, and he may still be an extraordinary person."

Roy said.

After pondering for a moment, Liana said, "Then we should avoid him and minimize contact with him as much as possible to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." ”

"Hmm."

……

Earl Wolf's house.

In the huge ballroom, several chandeliers stand with burning candles, which exude a soothing aroma.

On the long tables, you can enjoy pan-fried foie gras, grilled steak, and other delicious wines from all over the world.

Several tables are full of seats, very luxurious.

Audrey wore a long light white dress, elegantly shuttling between elegantly dressed and gorgeous gentlemen and ladies, quietly observing everyone.

"It's so easy to know what other people think when you're promoted to mind reader."

Audrey sighed.

She can read the shallow thoughts of the rest.

At first, she thought it was funny, but gradually she realized that it wasn't so interesting—

Knowing too much often darkens people's hearts.

She silently weaved through the crowd and walked into the corner, ready to sit here alone to drink and eat.

At this point, she saw a man.

Someone I haven't seen in a long time.

"Glerint, you seem very reserved and deep tonight, like a wise scholar."

Audrey smiled.

Gleilint rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Audrey, you are the one who shines the brightest tonight, and everyone can't avoid the light. ”

"Shall we talk over there?"

Audrey pointed to the corner.

Gleilynt nodded slightly: "Okay, I also want to sit quietly for a while." ”

He went to the corner with Audrey, and then couldn't help but say, "I didn't want to participate, you know, I recently learned to dispense medicine with a pharmacist......"

"You wrote to mention that he was a very rude gentleman."

Audrey described it euphemistically.

In fact, Glerint's rhetoric was even worse, describing the pharmacist as a heinous fellow.

But apparently.

Now Glerint seems to be miserable but happy.

There was a smile on her lips.

Glerint coughed awkwardly and said, "My elder enlightened me, he said that it would be uncomfortable to get along with such a person, but you don't need to worry about him being bad for you. ”

When he said this, he couldn't help but nod: "Now I agree with this point of view, he does speak very hard, but it is all for my good, and he is very conscientious in his guidance." ”

"Glerint, you're looking more and more like a full-fledged viscount."

Audrey praised.

Gleilynt smiled softly, then her eyebrows fluttered, and she said excitedly: "Audrey, you can't imagine what happened to me in the past few days, it was extremely unlucky at first, but then ......"

He described his condition.

After a few days of bad luck, he encountered a succession of good luck events.

For example-

I got the potion recipe I wanted, got the potion materials very smoothly, and then met a pharmacist in an accident.

Speaking of this, he whispered, "That is the real pharmacist, and he has a lot of miraculous medicines. ”

"Exactly?"

Audrey is curious and intrigued.

She now has 10 Witchcraft Scrolls as powerful as Sequence 7, and if she can stock up on some more magical medicines......

That couldn't be better.

Glerint smiled and was about to speak, but then his face stiffened, and he coughed lightly: "Well, it's some very good medicine, it's amazing." ”

"Can you get me some?"

Audrey said excitedly, "You know, I'm also full of mysteries, and these drugs are also magical. ”

"Well, I'll give you some when I learn how to dispense medicine."

Glerint's eyes dodged.

The corners of Audrey's mouth raised slightly, and she held back a smile and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it." ”

At this point, she looked up at the door, and her eyes lit up.

At the door, a lady walked in, the lady was wearing a black evening dress, and her appearance and temperament were eye-catching.

Beside her, a handsome, unfamiliar gentleman walked in in a simple, restrained suit.

He had a pendant around his waist.

Far away, she couldn't see the pattern of the pendant clearly, and she could only vaguely see that it was some kind of plant.

She asked Glerint curiously.

"Do you know them?"

"I don't know, it doesn't seem to be a nobleman from Beckland."

Glerint shook his head.

Then, he followed the other man's gaze, and after observing for a while, he remembered.

"Her emblem seems to be the Odra family."

"Odra?"

Audrey had a message about the family in her head, and then thought—

The family is simple.

There were only one or two of them in each generation, and it had been decades since then, but they didn't attend the ball much in Beckland.

"I didn't expect Odra to have such a lady."

Audrey smiled and said, "Mr. Glerint, aren't you going to say hello?" ”

"What am I going to do?"

Gleilynt sighed helplessly, "I didn't want to come, alas, forget it, let's go and meet it, at least as a courtesy of a man." ”

He got up and walked over to Leyana and Roy.

……

"Miss Riana, you are the brightest star tonight."

"Miss Riana......"

Young aristocratic men approached with smiles on their faces.

Roy smiled silently on the side.

These noble children are really a bit superficial.

Not to mention that Liana may be older than their parents and grandfathers, even normal young bloods look down on them.

Of course.

Liana was still more polite, at least she didn't snub them directly, and responded to their greetings one by one.

After a few minutes, Roy saw a man who was emotionally reluctant, but had a very sincere and decent expression on his face.

"Beautiful lady, I'm Glellint......"

Viscount Gleilynt introduced himself.

Roy quickly reined in his emotions -

Audrey was there too.

As a mind reader, she can observe herself more clearly in reality through her actions, behaviors, and so on.

A smile resurfaced on Roy's face.

Thanks Klein!

Although he is not a clown and cannot perfectly control his muscles and emotions, he can also avoid the leakage of emotions to a certain extent.

After a while, he saw a beautiful girl in a long white dress approaching.

The other person has a glass of wine in his hand.

"Hello, my name is Audrey Hall."

"Hello Leyana Odra, beautiful young lady."

Liana said with a smile.

Roy was on the sidelines, quietly observing Audrey.

Her beauty lives up to her reputation.

Anyone who sees her in real person can understand where the phrase "the most dazzling jewel" comes from -

Wherever she goes, she often becomes the center of attention.

Underneath the beauty is her gentle, delicate heart.

Roy noticed.

She deliberately waited until the rest of the group finished chatting before she came over to greet Riana, so as not to steal the limelight from Riana.

But.

She was destined to be overwhelmed.

Liana didn't care about that.

Audrey chatted for a while, and the content was nothing more than boring content that flattered each other and annoyed Roy, but it was a necessary etiquette between nobles.

At this point, the topic shifts.

"Who is this gentleman?"

This is the first time tonight that someone has taken the initiative to say hello to Roy.

Because Roy doesn't have the insignia of nobility on him.

Roy smiled, "Green Rost, a scholar, is currently Lady Riana's advisor. ”

"Advisor?"

Audrey was slightly surprised.

The gentleman, who was very mysterious and extraordinary in her eyes, turned out to be a consultant, and she thought it was a male partner.

But.

She was more interested.

It's just a consultant, but you can accompany you into the ball......

"Ms. Leyana, can I speak with your advisor? I've also been having some trouble finding a qualified consultant lately, but I haven't been able to find the right consultant. ”

Audrey smiled.

Liana chuckled and said, "Of course, please." ”

"Can I join in?"

Gleilynt said immediately.

"We will pay enough."

"It's okay to just talk casually, Miss Liana, do you want to come along?"

Roy looked at Liana.

Liana shook her head, a slight smile on her face.

"No, I'm going to get some food, and when I have something to eat, I can come over and listen to you talk."

"We'll be on the second floor, and there's a balcony tea room on the second floor of Count Wolfe's house, which is quieter and perfect for chatting."

"Okay."

……

In the corner of the second floor of the ball, Audrey took a sip of wine, then chuckled, "Mr. Green, what are you good at?" ”

"I know a lot, I know a little bit about language and history, including the history of Rune."

Roy Road.

Audrey immediately said, "You're not from Rune? ”

"Yes, I am from Fenerport, and the Mother Goddess guides my path."

Roy drew a prayer gesture.

Although he has only officially joined the Earth Church for a little more than a day, it has been a long time spiritually.

After all.

As soon as he arrived in the South District, he was thinking about whether to lean towards the Earth Church, and he learned hand gestures for a while.

Audrey wasn't too surprised-

As she got closer, she could see the pendant around Roy's waist.

It was a pendant engraved with ears of rice and the emblem of life, and the other party was not only a member of the Earth Church, but also an important member.

As for Gleilint.

He chuckled, "I have heard of the teachings of Mother Earth Goddess, she is a great, merciful deity. ”

"Yes, if you know Mother Earth, you will be infected by her kindness and greatness."

Roy quickly touted his current boss.

"Mr. Green, you seem to have a lot to do with the Earth Church, so you must have heard of the Extraordinary and the Occult, right?"

Audrey was in high spirits.

Glerint and Liana were chatting on the other side, not too far away from them, but there were still relatively few people in this corner itself.

So.

She can ask questions about topics of interest.

Roy smiled and said, "Just know, it's not an in-depth understanding, but there are some mysterious aspects of the problem, I know who to talk to to solve the problem, and that's enough for the consultant." ”

Audrey thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Truly.

The powerful one is called a bodyguard, not a consultant.

As a qualified consultant, Roy is successful as long as he can come up with methods and suggestions.

Glerint pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Green, do you know the pharmacist?" ”

"Understand a little, this path is in the hands of the School of Life, the School of Roses, and we in the Earth Church also welcome the Medicine Masters."

Roy stuck to his heart and didn't show much emotion.

After all, there is an audience in front of you.

He looked at the other party and said, "Are you interested in pharmacists?" ”

"Uh, yes, I heard that this way can be used to prepare medicinal herbs, maybe it can make you live a little longer."

Gleilynt was blunt.

Roy smiled and said, "If that's the reason, that's really good." ”

Glerint received an affirmative answer, with a smile on his face that was not hidden at all.

Of course.

In front of the mind reader and the scroll professor, simple facial disguise is useless, only by controlling the spiritual restraint emotions can the real concealment be achieved.

Roy looked at Audrey.

"Beautiful lady, what about your problem?"

"I'm interested in all things mysterious, can you just talk about it? For example, where have you been, the customs, the adventures of the extraordinary, etc. ”

Audrey said with a soft sigh, "You also know that as aristocrats, although we have a naturally privileged life, we don't have many opportunities to see the outside. ”

"That's the price, Audrey, and you don't want to experience real civilian life."

The corners of Glerint's mouth twitched slightly.

He thought about his recent life in the East End, and then said, "As a nobleman, the only thing I can do is to pay out of my own pocket to give certain discounts when dispensing medicines." ”

"Mr. Viscount, you are already more than the majority."

They chatted casually with each other, without a fixed direction or topic, but the initiative was always on Roy's side.

Audrey is calm and smiling on the surface, but she is slightly annoyed in her heart.

She couldn't see through the consultant in front of her.

The other party's smile and mood are very simple, and a slight fluctuation will not reflect much change, as if he was born to be the nemesis of the audience.

But.

The more this is the case, the more curious Audrey becomes-

Her instincts told her that this consultant was far from being as simple as he appeared.

He could be a big man in the Church of the Earth!

As for Miss Leana.

According to her observations, he was probably also an extraordinary, and should have been from Fenerport, not a native of Beckland.

A member of the Odella family who grew up in Fenerport?

She was full of curiosity and longed to dig out some information from Roy, but unfortunately, she couldn't get any information after looking at it for a long time.

It's just that the other party is very mysterious, and he completely reined in his emotions.

After a few moments, there was a cacophony below.

They looked downstairs—

Downstairs came a thin-faced, slightly stubble-bearing man, and when he entered, his gaze quickly scanned the audience.

Intis Ambassador to Beckland.

Békron Jean Madan.

"The ambassador of Intis? I didn't expect him to come too. ”

"It's normal, Count Wolf is a hot figure now, and anyone wants to woo him."

"But his style is really disgusting."

Audrey couldn't help but complain-

She rarely speaks ill of others behind her back, but the ambassador really impressed her.

Roy looked around Beckron.

There is a bodyguard on each side of the Bakerron.

Also, in the dark.

When Beckron entered, two men quickly looked over and faintly changed their positions, placing Ambassador Beckron in the middle.

Before the people arrived, the shadows came first.

These two should also be extraordinary.

Roy looked down.

"Mr. Green, what do you think of Beckron?"

Audrey asked.

Roy turned his head back and said, "A standard conspirator, not too easy to deal with." ”

Schemer?

What do you mean, do you mean that the other party likes to manipulate conspiracies?

Audrey didn't know.

This is actually the name of Hunter Sequence 6.

She was still pondering the meaning of the sentence, and then she saw Baker Lang laughing at a lady below.

The disgust on her face became more and more apparent.

But.

As a viewer, she is obviously not very qualified at the moment.

Roy was not as emotionally charged as she was, and sitting on the top and looking down, he could see the entire venue.

In addition to Beckron and his bodyguards and shadows, in the venue, the biggest mood swing was a man in the corner.

Despite some disguise, Roy still recognized the other party's identity.

Sherman!

How did he end up here?

Roy's eyes froze.

Sherman's previous fate trajectory should not have changed much, and now he still follows Triss to do things.

But.

Originally, she was targeting the people who had hurt her.

Right now......

She's going to assassinate Beckron?

Lose your marbles?

Roy frowned, then—

He noticed that not far from Sherman, there was a strange man wearing a hat, who was sitting quietly there.

He stood up.

"Sorry, I'm a little hungry, go down and see if there's anything to eat."

"Please."

Audrey smiled and nodded.

Roy went downstairs, did get some food, and then met with Riana.

Liana sat in the corner.

"Ma'am."

"Huh?"

Liana turned her head sideways, then smiled, "What's the matter, that dazzling gem is not enough for you to talk to, do you want to find me a pair?" ”

"Ahem, that's not the case, I don't feel like something is right at the scene."

Roy whispered.

Liana nodded: "It's not right, this Beckron doesn't know what he's here for, but he actually dispatched 5 subordinates." ”

"Five?"

Roy only saw 4.

He sat down next to Liana, looked out, and noticed a woman who seemed to be taking food and drinking, but her eyes were watching warily.

She's obviously not normal either.

Roy quietly took out the pendant, and after a few moments, the pendant turned clockwise.

The other party is also Baker's men.

What does the ambassador want to do?

Pitfall?

Roy looked in the direction of the corner.
