On the terrace of the hotel, Christine leaned against the railing, leaning her body against the railing, looking at the brilliant and charming lights in the distance.
She wasn't in a hurry to speak, just enjoying the beautiful night view.
Hue stood behind her and gently covered her coat with a gentle motion, like an intimate lover.
"I've created a good opportunity for you, Master Dardanelle. Christine didn't look back, and said to herself.
"What chance?" Huey asked.
"Close the door to the terrace. ”
Huey turned around and did so.
Christine turned to lean herself against the railing and looked at Huey, then she frowned, "Can you take your glasses off?"
"Why?"
"I think you're better looking at the Lanya Theater. ”
Xiu Yi thought for a moment, took off his glasses, and walked to Christine's side: "You just said that you gave me a chance?"
"Don't play dumb, you know what I'm referring to. You can just drop me off here right now and tell everybody that I've stumbled. That way, you don't have to worry about someone revealing you. ”
"Nope. Xiu Yi shook his head: "It's not a gentleman's thing to do. ”
He put his hand on Christine's face: "You are beautiful, ma'am, I can't imagine what it will be like when your head hits the ground, your brain bursts, your face shatters, and you are lifeless. You know? When people die, they have corpse spots, which is a very disgusting phenomenon. It only takes a day for the beauty you are proud of to be terrifying. When your flesh falls off and eventually becomes a skeleton, all beauty becomes meaningless. ”
Christine's face turned pale: "Huygliel, don't disgust me with such words and descriptions. ”
Xiu Yi looked at the other party coldly: "That's because I don't intend to please you." Tell me, Madame, what are you going to do? You didn't risk angering me and the ** by inviting me here, didn't you care about me?"
"Until then, answer me what are you going to do. ”
"It's not about you. ”
"It's already related, and remind you again, I've proven once that you're not Huy Egler. If you do something in the city of Royo, I'll end up implicating me. ”
"Rest assured, I value the identity of Dardanelle, and if I can, I hope to keep it forever. ”
"And what about Hue Igler, who has disappeared since?"
"Nope. A mysterious smile appeared on Xiuy's face: "He will double down on the trouble." ”
Christine stared at Huey: "This can't be, you can't be two people." Even if you're a magician and an alchemist, you can't do it either. ”
"Maybe I could? For example, tonight I spent the night in the house of a noble countess, and in another place Huey Glare was on a killing spree......" Huey's fingers ran lightly over Christine's delicate face.
Christine's heart was slightly shocked: "You want to use me?"
"The biggest difference between a winner and a loser is that the former will always take advantage of opportunities to turn all the disadvantages into advantages. I have to say, Madame Christine, your presence and your timely silence gave me a better idea. I'm sure enough men in this city will watch me enter your mansion until the next morning. They may be crazy with jealousy, but what does it matter? The important thing is that they will be my witnesses. ”
"Don't even think about it. ”
"Madame, you have risked your life to invite me to this terrace, just to blackmail me, right? I guess you must have had some idea when you saw me, and that's why you're so persistent. I'm just proposing a price now. ”
"Do you know what I want you to do for me?"
"What else could it be?" Huey sneered, and he gently leaned into Christine's ear, "In your impression, what else would I do besides killing?"
Christine looked at Huey in horror, she never dreamed that Huey would see through her mind.
That's right, when she appeared in Cesher Dadaniel, her first reaction was of course that she couldn't expose him, otherwise it would inevitably cause the other party to kill wildly, but the second reaction was to realize that the other party must have a major plan when she appeared here. This may be the opportunity to blackmail him.
But she didn't expect Xiu Yi to quickly see through her thoughts, and in turn put forward the conditions first.
The problem is that if he agrees to Xiuyi, it will not be a simple coercion.
That's collusion.
Huey whispered in Christine's ear, "Madame, you don't have a choice. From now on, you and I will either coexist or die together. No, to be exact, it's you who die, I run. The Lance Empire can't catch me, but it can easily deal with you!"
Christine sighed, "Is this what happens when you make a deal with the devil?"
"It's a greedy end, I didn't intend to do it, but now that you have a strong desire to blackmail me, I realize that this is an opportunity to take advantage of. Lady Christine, the Dardanelles need to have strong figures to support their rise in the Reims Empire. While we've found some partners, we also need allies who can be more reassuring. That's the only reason I can keep you from killing you, otherwise what kind of reasons do you think you can use to let me let you go? To be trusted by others, you always need some conditions and chips, don't you?"
Christine nodded helplessly: "My ex-husband Weston has no children, but he has a brother. According to the laws of the country, if I die, then he is the only heir. So he was the first of the men in the Lance Empire who most longed for my death. In addition to being surrounded by suitors, I was also chased by assassins and killers. ”
"Why don't you let your suitors solve this problem?"
"There are too many people staring at me trying to take me and my property together, and as soon as my brother-in-law dies, there will be many people who will come to track down the cause of his death. I need someone to carry this black cauldron, the kind of person who is capable and not afraid to offend the Empire. Huyglaire is undoubtedly a good choice, all you need is an excuse, and I can help you create it. ”
"Very thoughtful, so where is he?"
"Winrington. ”
"I'll go over when things in Royo City are over. He will no longer be a problem for you. During this time, I will be responsible for your safety. ”
"Also, I'm having some trouble doing business all over the empire, and some chambers of commerce are bullying me for being a woman and trying to join forces to blackmail me. They wanted me to give up some of my shops, and some wanted me to trade with my body. The ends are different, the means are the same. ”
"I guess you have the list. ”
"That's right. ”
"Then congratulations, they won't be a problem either. You can even take their shops in reverse. Of course, this will take time. ”
"In the end, just to avoid the flies that are always pestering me, I tell everyone that whoever can get your head will consider marrying him. ”
Huey's expression was wonderful.
He looked at Christine in surprise, and the other smiled happily.
"I hope you don't get angry, sometimes I'm just too bored," she said. ”
Xiu Yi thought for a moment, "I can see that you like excitement." And how many noble sons are going to trade my head for your heart?"
"I don't think it's too little. They won't shoot themselves, but some are asking high-ranking samurai to come and kill you at any cost. As far as I know, there have been seven powerhouses above the rank of Earth Samurai who have accepted the commission, and I heard that there is even a star powerhouse among them. ”
"It sounds like you're more appealing than the Lance Empire, which only sent two Sky Samurai and a Level 6 mage to deal with me, but you've caused me even more trouble than that. Huey couldn't help but laugh.
What's even more ridiculous is that Christine sent someone to hunt down her, but she wanted to help Christine solve the trouble, which sounds too incredible.
Christine covered her mouth and smiled: "It turns out that you are also very clear about the movements of the empire, and I originally planned to use this news to sell it for a good price, what a pity." But don't worry, they won't be able to find this place anytime soon, you just need to concentrate on Kevin Beals and them. As for the future......
"Even if I did, I wouldn't worry about anything. Xiu Yi said coldly.
"Oh. Christine patted her bright forehead and said in a coquettish voice, "I almost forgot, you have a helper too." ”
"They are all vicious fellows, and if they knew about your threats and actions against me, they might have raped you and killed you immediately. ”
"If that's the case, I want you to do the first half of the work. Christine smiled, looking unafraid. At this point, she really had nothing to fear.
"I'm not interested in that for the time being. All I need is a reason I can trust you. ”
"You're an alchemist, don't alchemists have many ways to control others?"
"You asked for it. "Huey was a little surprised.
"It's always better to ask for it than to be reactive. I'm not going to get away with this, am I?"
"That's right. That's why you chose to blackmail me, right? When you see me, you know it's the best solution for me. So you try to gain as much as you can. ”
"That's right. ”
Hue began to admire the woman's intelligence, and he lightly tapped the back of Christine's neck, and Christine felt only a slight tingling in her neck.
"Hopefully there won't be any after-effects. Christine was a little worried, she was not afraid that Xiu Yi had given her some powerful poison, but she was afraid that it would affect her appearance afterwards.
"Don't worry, it's just that it's not easy to sleep tonight. As long as I don't die, nothing will happen to you. Huey replied.
"So when are you going to use my room to create an opportunity for your doppelganger?" Christine stared at Xiui, looking a little expectant.
"There are still some days. Until then...... "Huey leaned into Christine's ear, "Enjoy the crazy pursuit of the rich young master." ”
"I've enjoyed it many times. Christine blinked.
"The romance of demons will always be different from ordinary people. Huey laughed.
He suddenly jumped off the terrace.
Christine was startled by his movements, and looked down at the railing, only to see the person in the air with a fluttering voice: "Go back and tell the guests that I am in a good mood today, so I will go first." ”
His figure is like an eagle with wings spread, fluttering on the ground, and the altitude of more than ten meters has no effect on him.
Once he was still, he waved his hand at Christine and left.
"This devil! I haven't finished speaking. You should always tell me how long this damn poison or something will last!" Christine smacked the railing angrily, and the back of her neck felt like a mosquito bite, and the pain was faint, which scared her a little.
The bright red wine is gently shaken in the glass a few times before finally being served in the mouth.
Hotin half-squinted his eyes and savored it, and then let out an exclamation: "It's been a long time since I've drunk such a delicious wine." ”
He now reclined in front of a tall wine cabinet, filled with fine bottles of fine wine, with an elegant posture and a leisurely expression.
"Didn't you drink less in Robinia before?" Lilith looked at each other with disdainful eyes as she half-lay on the soft big *.
"Oh, that's different. Hotin raised a finger and shook it gently: "You must know that drinking wine is not only about tasting the taste of wine, but also about the unique artistic conception when tasting wine." Look at the attentive waiters, the gorgeous rooms, and the enchanting lighting, what kind of good life it would be to have a beautiful woman who can accompany you through the night? ”
"That's why you're willing to take the risk of joining my plan?" Huey, who wasn't far away, had already taken a shower, wiped his head with a wet bath towel, and walked out of it wearing only a pair of shorts.
Lilith grabbed a blanket and threw it at him.
"Thank you. Huey wrapped herself in a blanket and lay down beside Lilith.
"That's right. Everyone has their own reasons to take risks. Lilith and Brian were there to kill Kevin Beals, Eagle owed Brian, and I, my true purpose was this. As long as I can enjoy the good life I have been looking forward to for a long time, I am willing to take any risk. Hotin raised his glass to Huey, and drank it down.
"I hope you can pass on your experience of the good enjoyment of life to those brothers, which I promised to give them. ”
Hotin nodded and said, "Starting tomorrow, I'll take them around for a while, it's not a problem at all." But it worries me about you, and as you can tell from your description, the countess is not easy to deal with. ”
"I still have some experience in dealing with women. Xiu Yi said casually.
Lilith snorted, "What are you going to do? Treat her like you did to me last time?"
Xiui immediately sat up and leaned over to Lilith's side: "Different people have different ways of dealing with her, and what you use will not work for her, because she is a widow. Oh, I didn't seem to have enough strength on my fingers last time, that's why you're looking at me like that now, aren't you?"
Hodding: "What are you talking about?
Lilith was anxious: "Shut up, Hue Igler, if you dare to say half a word, don't blame me for tearing you up." ”
Huey shrugged his shoulders at Hotin in frustration. Hotdin's mustache stood up, and he looked at Lilith with ambiguous eyes, thoughtful: "Finger ......"
Lilith was ashamed, and she angrily rushed out of the room, ignoring the two guys.
"Looks like you've done something out of the ordinary to her. Hodding laughed.
"Out of self-defense, I can't help it, knowing that her level of armament is too scary. But rest assured, I'm not destroying her last line of defense, just a small warning. Huey smiled, and Hotin nodded in understanding. After thinking about it, Hodding asked Huey, "So how are you going to pursue the Countess?" I hope this won't affect our plans for the future." ”
"Rest assured, there will be absolutely no impact, in fact I realize that the presence of the Countess is of great benefit to us. ”
"How?"
"She helped us solve a big problem. "Xiu Yi said.
Hording lowered his head and thought for a while, his eyes lit up: "You mean money?"
Talking to smart people is peace of mind.
Xiu Yi nodded: "That's right, now we don't have to worry about funds, the countess is the best source of money." We didn't have to sell some of the alchemy products before raising money, and I was always worried that it would expose me completely. After all, there's no way I'm going to raise millions of Kingwitt just by relying on Scout Bees. And the more products and technologies we sell, the more likely we are to be suspicious. ”
"The problem is that she may not be so generous. ”
"I can give her some alchemy as compensation. You know that I can't sell this kind of technology at will, and every time I sell it, I have to carefully weave lies, but now I don't have to worry about it. The Countess knew what I was about, and I could at least save myself the energy of lying. And for her, she has undoubtedly bought a cornucopia that will allow her to make a lot of money for decades to come. ”
"And then?"
"Then it's showtime. Huey spread his hands.
At the age of sixteen, the heiress of the family succeeded in pursuing a noble widow who fascinated the entire empire, and from then on, the two families worked together to make a fortune and successfully entered the upper echelons of the empire...... Well, it can be a viable means to achieve our goals in disguise. Isn't it our high society guide that we've been looking for? There is no doubt that the Countess is an excellent candidate. Hotin thought for a moment and put the glass down: "But I want to remind you that women are changeable. I mean, if one day she shows you and you trick her, there is no poison in the world that can be lurking in the human body for a long time and being directed by the alchemist, she will probably turn her face. ”
"People always think that alchemists can do anything, and that they won't be able to do many things in a short period of time that alchemists can't do unless they want to find answers, but I won't give them that opportunity. ”
"If you can, it's better to really capture her heart, it's more effective than threatening with **. ”
"It wasn't easy, she was a very sober woman. She serves us, and we serve her. It's a sale, a deal, and there are no personal feelings. All love and pursuit can only be a disguise. ”
"It's more reassuring to be able to fake it, you must know that even a sober woman has moments of vulnerability. In fact, for women, those criminals who are notorious often have a fatal attraction. ”
Huey remembered a report he had seen before his reincarnation about "American Women Love to Marry Criminals in Prison". So he laughed: "That's right, women are afraid of danger, but they crave excitement more than men. Maybe I can try. ”
Hotin refilled himself with wine and toasted to Xiu Yiyao:
"So...... I wish you success. ”
