"Is this idiot so confident in himself? He actually ate a small piece of Garingen!"

How could the shopkeeper, who didn't think that the legendary poison Garingen would appear in his shop, could admit it in front of the two yellow-haired girls? The consequences of being reckless are also obvious - Garingen, who has the terrible poison of a lying dragon, even if it is only a small bite, is not something that a human can bear.

"His face has turned colored!"

One of the main characteristics of many poisonous creatures in nature is that they have colorful body colors, and creatures instinctively fear those with that body color...... Well, now the poor shopkeeper, because of the ingredient of Garingen, is estimated to be contaminated with poison as long as he touches it, and according to the normal definition, it can be regarded as a mobile dangerous source of poison.

Strange to say, as long as Garingen is not taken, it will not be toxic if it is simply touched, but after eating, the victim himself will become poisonous.

"Isn't that tantamount to murder!?"

Xiwei, who has always been law-abiding and thinks that he is not a second ancestor who bullies men and women at all, suddenly found that he had to bear a pot today...... This shop is mainly poisoned to death because of this, in the final analysis, but it is up to you to take responsibility!

Unless she thinks she can throw this troublesome "subordinate" to the relevant department 2 to deal with alone...... If you really want to do this, I guess the top of the prison will be gone the next day, right?

Do you still have to take responsibility for this incident?

"Kill? No, don't worry, people can't die. Since I dare to instigate and provoke. Tempt him to eat Garingen, and there will be a way to save him. Lynn waved her hand. Motioning to Sylvie not to be nervous, "But before that." I'm going to have to break up the crowd of onlookers......"

"I'm not an unrelated person! I'm not a crowd of onlookers! Please let me stay, by all means!"

Before Lin could actually act, a small hand couldn't wait to reach in front of Lin—Lori, who had an argument with the shopkeeper earlier, was looking at her eagerly. It wasn't until this time that Lin noticed that there was a considerable amount of magic faintly flowing on this Lori's body.

[yes, I think I just saw her in the Mage Guild before!] she's actually ...... Uh, did they all run out?]

Lin looked at the other party's gorgeous loli costume that was hard to find loopholes. Obviously, this man came prepared. They don't stay in the association honestly, what are they going to do when they run out?

Lin could never have imagined that she had actually come out on an important mission, but she was distracted just by walking, and in the end she simply forgot about the task that Skarsa had given her......

When Lin was still stunned, this Lori couldn't hold it back at first, and saw that the other people around her had no intention of leaving. Raising her little hand, a faint cyan ripple spread from her fingertips, sweeping through the entire hall - those who were watching, regardless of their previous feelings. All of them fell into a state of stupefaction, and slowly left the outside.

Lynn grabbed Shevie's arm, who was about to join her, and dragged her back from the crowd.

"Come back to your senses. ”

"I ...... I just ......"

Only then did Sivi realize. She was actually affected by someone else's mental interference just now, and subconsciously followed a command that came to her mind - she looked at the interested little girl on the side with a shocked face. If she hadn't experienced it herself, she wouldn't have believed it. This seemingly harmless little girl can let herself be manipulated and driven by her when she raises her hand.

She asked herself if she wasn't weak!

"Well, you've been tricked. ”

"I would have been ...... by such a child"

"Child?" Lin glanced at the Lori mage who was smirking because of her "accidental injury", "Well, isn't there already a precedent like mine?

"How can you get used to this kind of thing!"

It's not enough for a monster to have one.,Do you have to huddle in a pile?It's enough to be hit with confidence or something.,As a result, Xiwei understands how cruel reality is this time-a random loli on the side of the road has the ability to play with herself in the palm of her hand......

[Ahhh......h It's the age when you're competitive, girl......]

Lin thought about it, maybe because of her temperament, she didn't look like a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, so Xiwei didn't subconsciously think of herself as a girl younger than herself. However, the current wild Lori mage ...... Well, frankly, if you don't know the actual situation, most of you will think that they are really only that old......

There is no way, who let the original personality of this group of old men be the model of old children with weak social skills? It turned out that it could be called "childlike innocence", but now, it is really no disobedience-as long as they don't show the supernormal characteristics that belong to the "mage".

This camouflage is really natural.

Looking at Lori on the other side and constantly glancing at herself, Lin felt that it was better to follow her wishes and hide the situation over there in front of Xiwei for the time being. After all, the "family" where Xi Wei is now is supposedly in the hostile camp with the association, although the current head of the family, who is not bubbling yet, is doing something wrong, as if he wants to fight against his colleagues...... But in short, it's safe, there's nothing wrong with that.

"Hurry up! If you don't do anything, this guy will die!"

Over there, she was still waiting for Lin to give her a live performance - Garingen's detoxification method has always been too rare and rare because of its own toxins, and she has never heard of this detoxification method. As a mage with a thirst for knowledge, the Lori on the other side is already eager to pierce it.

=================

"Aren't you really playing with fire by doing this?"

The eldest lady of his own house was not at home for the time being, and the head maid took advantage of this opportunity. He directly found the old butler Fisher and confronted him, "The Lord is not at home for the time being." Although it is said that a qiē is entrusted to you with full agency, but your recent behavior. I can't be reassured - why should the eldest lady be involved in these things!?"

Ms. Slade, at most, thought that this inscrutable old man would appropriately reveal some "secrets" to Xiwei, but she didn't expect that this man would dare to let his eldest lady personally go under the noses of those people and smuggle out the captured Elven Empress!

If this is discovered. Not only will their lord's plan be completely ruined, but even Xiwei is likely to be killed because of this!

What the hell is this old guy thinking!?In short, when she saw Shevi return with the dying elven woman, Ms. Slade's whole three views almost collapsed. There are some things that she can still turn a blind eye to, but Fisher's actions are really beyond her bottom limit.

If she doesn't ask clearly, she can't feel at ease at all!

"I remember the Lord. You haven't given any of these instructions, have you?"

"That's right, it's my own dictatorship. Fisher did not shy away from Ms. Slade's "speculation" at all, "Including the bottomless little maid, I also considered it twice. Only then did she appoint her as the exclusive maid of the eldest lady. ”

"Do you know what you're doing!......?

"Of course I know, Miss Lynn is from the Guild side - but so what?" looked at the aggressive Ms. Slade. Fisher sighed helplessly, "Maybe." It won't be long before we can no longer provide shelter to the eldest lady. As the eldest lady, if she doesn't have a reliable backer behind her, she will definitely be swallowed up by the huge whirlpool of the imperial capital. The Mage Association, although it has always been hostile to the position of the Lord, but those magicians are the type of people who are not the right thing. I trust those mages more than the Holy See. ”

"You asked the eldest lady to bring the Elven Empress out just to ......"

"Ahh ”

Fisher's face also had a trace of sorrow: "This kind of thing, the sooner the better, the more unclear the shape the better, and the more active the better...... The mages of the Guild are suspicious of us, and it is impossible to expect them to improve their impression of us without a single slap. I asked Miss Lin to be the exclusive maid of the eldest lady, and I didn't want to pass on the sincerity of our side through her. ”

"But...... Wouldn't robbing the Elven Empress be equivalent to completely cutting off the back road? In this way, although it has not been exposed for the time being, the Lord is already destined to stand opposite the interest group of court mages, and there is no room for reversal - and the Association's attitude towards us has not changed much, this is a back-and-back enemy! Why did the Lord do this?"

“...... Because it's not just about the court mages. ”

After repeatedly confirming that no one was eavesdropping around, Fisher whispered to Ms. Slade: "The current Emperor has nothing to do with this incident...... And, most likely, there is a subtle deviation between the situation and what people have always perceived. ”

"Deviation?"

"It's not necessarily as simple as the emperor being bewitched...... I won't talk about some things, I believe you should be able to imagine it. ”

“......”

Ms. Slade's face quickly turned gloomy - according to Fisher, the Emperor was not necessarily bewitched by the court mage, as the public thought, so didn't that mean that he was the brain of that interest group?

The reason why it is the way it is is - is it to divert the attention of others, to make them think that those dark magicians are the culprit? In this case, it must be something important that the other party wants to hide.

"There are some things, some things in the past, you may not know very well, Ms. Slade, but I have served the Lord for a long time, and many times, without the need for verbal communication, I can guess the Lord's mind. It is imperative to take the Elven Empress and frustrate their planned plans - besides, Miss Slade, you must remember that once we are in a great maelstrom, it is impossible for us to protect the eldest lady on our own. ”

"No, bet on my ......"

"You don't have to fight like that, Ms. Slade. The reason I say this is because. This has already gone through the test of history. ”

"What are you hiding from me?"

"A lot. ”

Fisher replied bluntly: "Including myself, including the Lord." Including the eldest lady - we have a lot to hide from you, if you really want to say. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish talking about it for a while. Why, are you sure you want to know what happened to the Lord in his life before he met you? It's still too late to get out, but once I'm done listening to this old man's chatter here, there's really no turning back. ”

The old housekeeper, who has always been kind and sincere, suddenly became cold at this time.

"Don't play this game with me, my life has long belonged to the Lord. There is absolutely no reason to be alone—say everything that needs to be said, and don't let me spend all my suspicions on my own!"

Fisher smiled bitterly and reined in the power he had exuded earlier—sure enough, this little bit of a trick didn't make any sense for a killer like Ms. Slade who came out of the gladiatorial arena. He still wants to change his image......

"Well, since you say so, Ms. Slade, I'm going to be honest about it—and if I want to say the first thing, it's about the eldest lady...... Do you know why, the eldest lady did not study with you, but followed me and became my student?"

"There's nothing to say about that, is it? It's a fighting technique in the gladiatorial arena, and it's not suitable for the eldest lady to learn, isn't it a matter of course?"

"Don't forget, the eldest lady's 'family history' is not a serious thing - the Lord is a black magician. If you really want to say it, Ms. Slade, your martial arts skills are only a little cruel and bloody. In fact, it is nothing compared to those terrible black magic. ”

"Why is that?"

"Because of your martial arts, Ms. Slade. It's very easy to make the user's emotions fall into a state of frenzy - to put it in layman's terms. It's just killing red eyes. Although for a normal martial artist, this is not a big problem, at best, it is disliked by others, but for the eldest lady, it is not so simple. If the eldest lady is infected by that kind of enthusiasm for fighting, she will probably not be able to turn back, and she will directly cross that hurdle and become a demon from then on...... Compared to you in the gladiatorial arena, you are even more crazy and murderous demons. ”

Fisher uttered words that made the head maid calm.

"I'm ...... more than I was at the beginning"

At that time, she still remembered the years of fighting in the gladiatorial arena, and naturally, the head maid also knew what kind of terrible existence she was in the eyes of others - it is not an exaggeration to say that she was a demon in human skin. However, Fisher went so far as to say that the eldest lady might be even crazier than she was back then...... How is this possible!?

That girl who treats people generously on weekdays and is very measured when she does it, doesn't even have anything to do with the smell of blood!

"It's true. Fisher said sternly, "Actually, the eldest lady's magical talent is far stronger than her talent in martial arts, but because of her status, it is impossible for the eldest lady to accept the teachings of other mages, and the lord does not dare to teach her any black magic...... Do you know what the reason is?"

Fisher was given a roll of the maid's eyes - if she knew, she would still be listening to him here!

The old housekeeper pretended to be 13 failed again, coughed awkwardly twice, and continued: "Miss, she actually ...... More than a decade ago, he had already died once. ”

Bang dang!

Before the head maid could make any statement, there was a sudden sound of utensils hitting the ground outside the door.

"Who is it!?"

The head maid reflexively took out three knives from her coat pocket, and was about to rush out to dismantle the daring guy who was eavesdropping outside the door, but was stopped by Fisher.

"I'm sorry!"

A voice came from outside the door...... Is that the new maid?

"Pay attention next time. Fisher said to the maid outside the door, "Before Miss Slade sees it, clean up the broken things!

......

"Why did you just let her go?"

"It doesn't matter, I can hear that the footsteps just now are indeed coming from far and near without any pause—the other party did not mean to eavesdrop on our conversation, at best, only the last sentence was heard. ”

That's why I fell in surprise.

"Again. Her titular 'sister' is now the eldest lady's personal maid. Even if I don't talk about it here, I'm afraid it will take time. You can't hide it from the magicians of the Mage Association, so it doesn't matter...... After all, if I really want to say it, the woman named Farno should be a member of the camp we want to win over by now. ”

"You're pretty comfortable with the people in those guilds......"

"Don't worry, it's because I know that their attitude towards black magic is not as hostile as others, so I dare to let the eldest lady contact them. If it were those people from the Holy See, if they had learned that the eldest lady had been resurrected by relying on black magic. I'm afraid my first reaction is to 'purify' the eldest lady. ”

"What happened to the eldest lady's death in the past?"

"That's another story, and it's about the Lord's personal experience, and I can't tell you about it, Ms. Slade. In short, the eldest lady once gave death, and it was by relying on the power of black magic that she reluctantly returned to the world of the living from the realm of death. ”

...... Grudging.

The head maid was sure she hadn't heard the word.

"Reluctantly" means unstable. It means that it is not complete, it means that there is a hidden danger – which, according to Fisher's previous statement, is ......

"The soul of the eldest lady was forcibly dragged back from the underworld. In this process, the resentment of the dead in the underworld and the negative thoughts of the black magic itself inevitably caused a certain amount of pollution to the soul of the eldest lady. As a result, the eldest lady is easily dominated by the killing **. ”

But Xiwei's usual appearance is normal, right?

The head maid quickly reacted - Sivi's "normal". It should be the result of practicing martial arts under Fisher for a long time, right? Fisher's martial arts are quite special. The emphasis is on calmness and putting an end to the heart of fighting, which was once complained by the head maid herself as a kind of strange martial arts that the more a martial artist practiced, the more decadent he became.

Although it is said to be very strong, there are definitely a few martial artists who can adapt to this kind of path......

"Although the eldest lady's talent in martial arts is relatively average, what is commendable is that her original personality is very in line with my martial arts requirements. It can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, in the past ten years of insisting on exercise, the eldest lady is basically much better than ordinary people in terms of restraint. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"There is a way that is the most terrible thing for an honest man to be angry...... Once the eldest lady is really captured by the hatred and killing intent for the living, the killing posture that erupts is definitely ten times more terrifying than the traditional sense of murder. I haven't been able to solve this problem at the source, and while the dam is being raised, the water level on the other side is also rising......"

......

And the other side.

"Shevitha...... Did you really die once?"

This time the news was obtained from the mouth of the old butler Fisher, and the impact on Falion was much stronger than what he had learned from Lynn before.

"What has happened over the years...... Shevi, and Sheen, what kind of disaster did they go through after that......"

Surrounded by a lot of worries, Farion also walked a little drifting, completely oblivious to the road conditions in front of him.

"It's dangerous. ”

"Bah!"

Falion nearly bumped into the man around the corner.

"Excuse me!"

It's a strange man...... Probably a guest who had come to visit the host, Farion was so preoccupied that he did not consider that his behavior was rather impolite, so he hurriedly apologized to the other party, and quickly turned around and left.

“...... The new maid?"

The man looked at the back of Farion leaving, and suddenly felt that this maid seemed to have a kind face.

"Probably a delusion, right?"

=================

"Do you actually use black magic to fight poison? Hmm, I've learned ......"

"That's why I need to keep the people around me apart, if people see that I use black magic, although the current court mage is also that virtue, but it's always bad. ”

"Hey, those guys won't be around for long—oh no! I've forgotten that I'm still on a mission!"

After mentioning the court mage, the Lori mage finally remembered the task that had been forgotten by him.

"Lost company!"

"Ah, it's really fast......"

Lin turned around and wanted to ask Xiwei, but found that the girl behind her, at this moment, her face was completely occupied by a dull expression, and the focus of her eyes was very dazed.

"Miss Shevi?"

"Uh......h Ahh

"What's wrong with you? I always feel a little out of mind. ”

"No, it's nothing~"

Sivi turned her head in disgust.

[Just now...... What's wrong with me......] (To be continued......)
