Chapter 1278 Lies
Chu He was slightly stunned in his heart.
This episode, although it surprised him a little, was not enough to make him panic.
With his experience, he is enough to deal with an incident that is a hundred times more complicated than the situation in front of him.
But how to do it as Isaac is a headache.
Chu He's face showed a little fear, and he quietly glanced at the countess, sending a look of help.
Looking at the hall again, a drunken old man who was originally sitting in the corner had already walked over with some stumbling steps.
It can be seen that this master Lewis, who is touted by the earl, may not be particularly reliable.
However, this is not a reason to take him lightly.
Out of the corner of his eye, Chu He saw the fifth-order mystic from the imperial capital, and he actually took a small step back slightly.
This made Chu He's eyes light up.
In the case of subconsciously, people's unintentional behavior is the easiest to expose their true intentions.
Lewis approached, and although Chu He's expression was a little frightened and timid, his steps were steady.
On the contrary, it was the fifth-order mystic Gary who actually retreated slightly, even though he still had a very elegant smile on his face, and his eyes were so calm.
"This Gary... Problematic!"
"He may not be some fifth-order mystic. On the contrary, his rank was no more than two orders at the highest, otherwise he would not have been afraid of the so-called Master Lewis. Chu He quickly came to a conclusion.
"However, how can a little minion who is only two orders fool the Earl of Amethyst? And it became a puppet. Chu He's brain was running fast.
"Unless... The Count, too, was blinded by lies. Could it be that this so-called Lord Gary is also a liar? or is it an advanced step of the liar... Liar?"It has always been Chu He's habit to follow the train of thought and make the greatest possible and unsubstantiated inferences based on limited information.
"Interestingly, the Earl found a backer and tried to overthrow the Countess's covert manipulation, but unexpectedly found a liar. And even more coincidentally, I turned out to be a liar too. Thinking of this, Chu He paid more attention to this Lord Gehry, to see how he would respond.
If he was smart enough, he could already see that the atmosphere at the ball was getting more and more wrong.
His anxiety should not be weaker than Chu He.
If the countess's 'true face' is exposed in public, then as a fifth-order mystic from the imperial capital, he should show something no matter what.
So what can he do to keep this situation in check?
"This old gentleman must have drunk too much, and may need to take a break. As a fifth-order icebreaker, no one can lie in front of me. Naturally, I have a way of identifying lies. Mistress Gehry spoke. There is a natural, convincing appeal in his voice.
This kind of contagion, even in reality, is real among ordinary people.
The same sentence is said in a straightforward way, and it is said in a magnetic, rhythmic, and direct way, and the effect is completely different.
Many times, a successful politician is bound to be a successful orator.
Of course... Some countries don't need that, they don't need to lobby people to get votes. Therefore, relatively speaking, the skill points in this area are not too high. Speeches often turn into long, drowsy speeches.
And now, this kind of contagion, which is amplifying, is like some kind of force, shaking the air, using the external environment to affect people's judgment.
"Lord Gehry is right, then... Just ask Master Lewis to rest on the side first!" looked at the somewhat drunk Master Lewis, and the Earl waved his hand.
Two servants helped Lewis from the side, and were about to take him to rest.
However, Lewis suddenly sobered up a little, and took a drunken step, and took the initiative to approach Gehry.
Gary's footsteps moved again, and he stepped forward and grabbed Lewis with a very personable appearance.
"Be careful, you're drunk and need a break. Gehry said.
Lewis shook his head, as if he was slightly stunned, and then said, "No! I'm not drunk, you..." ”
No one saw that Gary had a short stick hidden in his sleeve, and the short stick quickly poked Lewis in the belly.
So Lewis's stomach full of wine and vomit splattered out, and even stained Gehry's clothes.
Suddenly, the whole hall was in chaos.
The ladies were screaming, and many of the people who wanted to please Gehry rushed up, ignoring the filthy vomit on the floor, and offering Gary a silk scarf to temporarily clean up the filth.
A mystic who is not a full-time combat department, in the early stages, his hand-to-hand combat ability is no different from that of ordinary people.
In this regard, it is also different from the immortal civilization.
In the Immortal Dao civilization, even if it is only a new person who cultivates the first or second layer of qi, and the cultivation is not a physical method, it will still be stronger than ordinary people.
Lewis was sent out of the castle by a panicked earl.
And Gary went to change into clean clothes first.
After this brief confusion, the original topic seems to have temporarily deviated from the trajectory.
Chu He thought for a while, then approached the countess very calmly, and then beside the countess, he frowned, and said to himself in confusion: "Strange, I seem to have seen Lord Gary just now, quietly hitting Master Lewis in the stomach with a short stick, why did he do this? Could it be that you, Madam, have thought of a way? You have already bought off Master Gary?"
Chu He's face showed tangled deep thought, and there seemed to be a lot of questions that he couldn't figure out. Posing as a spying on the Countess is just a clumsy performance and in the wrong direction.
Of course, there is also some happiness on the face that he has escaped.
The Countess was different, she was stunned for a moment, and then the next moment, she showed a beautiful smile.
She took the place of the Earl, who had left temporarily to make amends to Gehry, and continued to stir up the atmosphere of the ball.
secretly arranged for someone to pick up Lewis, who had just been sent out of the castle, again.
The group hurried towards the room where Gary was changing.
Outside the door of the room, the Count was stomping anxiously, panicking like a wild boar with its tail burned. Through the glazed windows, you can still see the shadow in the lid of the room swaying under the light of the oil lamp.
The countess, on the other hand, took two glasses of wine, pushed open the door very calmly, and glanced at the count before entering.
The earl's face turned blue.
He felt that the Countess was trying to use her posture to charm Lord Gehry, and then took advantage of this opportunity to become a good thing.
If they really get together.
Then even if he reveals the true face of the Countess afterwards, he will only let a mere 'Isaac' pay for his life, and the Countess will still be safe and sound.
So, even if it's a risk, it will offend Lord Gehry.
The Count followed, and entered the room as well.
However, in the room, apart from the Countess, there was no figure of Gehry at all.
The shadow that the Count had seen outside the door before was nothing more than a picture hanging on a hanger.
"Lord Gehry, Lord Gery!" the Count shouted cautiously.
The Countess sneered, "Forget it! there has never been any Lord Gehry, you stupid boar, you have been deceived by a liar." ”
