She Is Not a Witch - Vol 3 Chapter 111

Facing the pretendingly enthusiastic Viscount, the guests in the hall stood up and raised their wine glasses to praise the host’s generosity and dignity.

Although everyone was more or less confused, on the surface they still maintained the etiquette in the daily banquet, complimenting each other, congratulating each other, saying that this year’s harvest was not bad, and everyone can have a polite remarks.

Seeing the diverse expressions of everyone in the hall, Viscount Mo Ruo was not surprised. He is not the kind of person who is keen to socialize, so he does not expect these people to have much true feelings, and his purpose today is only to make the key people. Just be there.

Walking down the stairs, the viscount greeted one of the guests and exchanged simple greetings, which was considered familiar and closer.

“Is this Miss Messia, please forgive me for my previous negligence.” After passing by one of the guests, Mo Ruo walked over to the conspicuous peerless girl in the hall after greeted the officer. However, several young people who had originally accosted Lorrain Hill also left with interest.

After bending over to salute, Viscount Mo Ruo looked at the girl in the black and red dress, and had to say that even if examined by his harsh standards, the girl could be said to be flawless. Especially the slender neck like a swan is really fascinating.

Even the man who is not young and experienced is so fascinated by him, and the others in the hall are probably even more fascinated.

For this accident, Viscount Mo Ruo was a little surprised, but luckily it was not enough to break his original plan.

“You can take the liberty to ask, is Miss Messia from which family? A girl like you must have a noble blood.” For the sake of caution, Viscount Mo Ruo wanted to test it.

“Sorry, this is a secret.” Lorrain Hill raised his glass, covered his face lightly, and spit out these words.

This is what Loti taught her. Girls have many advantages in the communication between nobles. Even if you deliberately don’t say it, others will not embarrass you, but will think that this is a certain kind of reservedness, which makes people more interested. I have to say that the world is really unfair.

“That’s really a shame.” Viscount Mo Ruo pretended to sigh, and then chatted with Lorrain Hill about literature and customs. Seeing that he couldn’t get any special information, he had to give up at this moment, because it was still There are more important things to do.

When the banquet gradually entered the middle stage, everyone simply ate something and became acquainted with each other. Most people applauded the food prepared for the banquet, which was very delicious. It can be seen that Viscount Mo Ruo is a person who knows how to live.

However, compared to most pleasant ones, Lorrain Hill, who was sitting aside, was a little bit distressed. Because another neatly dressed officer came to her.

The imperial officer was handsome, dressed in a military uniform with dark red as the main color, with golden embroidery thread on the collar, buttons and cuffs, and the coat of arms of roses on the chest, which symbolized that they belonged directly to the royal family and their status was honorable.

“I think, I must have seen Miss Messia somewhere.” The officer held up a wine glass and talked like this as soon as he came forward, naturally.

“This may be a misunderstanding.”

“I don’t think so, because a beautiful girl like you is always unforgettable.” He praised the girl with skillful words. If it were other girls, maybe she would fall into this handsomeness and passion.

“Thank you for your compliment.” Lorrain Hill did not refute, and therefore did not give the other party a chance to answer.

“I want to invite Miss Messia to dance with me. Could you please give me a treat?” Seeing that the girl was still unmoved, the officer had to invite it directly.

“Sorry, I don’t want to dance tonight.”

The girl refused again, until then, the officer did not leave. Before leaving, the pace was no longer as calm as before, and he became a lot slower. It seemed that he was still reminiscing about the behavior just now, looking for the girl’s possible points of interest.

After greeted many guests briefly, Viscount Mo Ruo stood in the middle of the hall again. He clapped his hands gently to stop the band in the hall from playing, and then attracted everyone’s attention.

“I’m very happy, and I have become familiar with you a lot. It is an honor for me to have so many friends here tonight.”

“Master Mo Ruo praised it.” Some of the guests below also complimented.

“However, I invite you all to come today. In fact, there is another thing I want to ask you for help. I wonder if you can take some time and let me elaborate on it.”

Then he patted his palm again, and the waiters in the original hall began to exit, and even the band members left one by one, until in the end only Viscount Mo Ruo and the guests were left in the hall.

“Kacha—” The door of the hall closed gently. At this moment, only the windows on both sides were opened a little, and the night breeze slowly came out, swaying the candlelight in the hall.

“I think everyone is very curious about why these servants are retired. In fact, this is related to what I am going to say next.”

“Instead of trusting those humble people, I trust everyone who participated in my banquet, so here I will explain what happened recently.” He paused and put the scepter in front of him, like a crutch.

“Recently, a lot of monsters have appeared in the surrounding forests. Everyone has heard of this.”

“Why do you rarely hear this in other regions, but only the locals have so many, and many of them are newcomers.”

“This is because there is a ruin in the forest not far away from the city. The magic in it seeps out and affects the surrounding creatures.” After he finished speaking, the guests below were surprised. This is a great secret.

“This ruin is also a secret of our family, because in the distant past, my ancestors established this ruin, but unfortunately, with the passage of time, many inheritances have been cut off. Until now, our family only knows about this ruin. It’s probably nearby, and I don’t even know what’s buried inside.”

“In order to understand the secrets of the inheritance, our family has made very preparations, inquiries, investigations, excavations and so on. It was not until my generation that we finally had the hope of understanding the secrets.”

“But it’s a pity that such a beautiful wish has now been broken.”

“A shameful thief stole the key props to open the ruins. It made me angry and helpless. It even embarrassed everyone. He was sealed in the city and had an uncomfortable life.” He bowed and apologized, and such behavior made many locals. People also have good feelings.

Although Viscount Moruo did not bring any benefits or changes to the citizens, compared with other greedy and demanding nobles, this one really gets along well. Everyone has been fine for many years, and only needs to pay more taxes occasionally. Can.

“After waiting for a few days, I tried every means to recover this key treasure, but unfortunately, I failed.”

“In order to avoid accidents in the future and let the family’s relics be preempted by outsiders, I had to open the secret that has been passed down for thousands of years in advance. But this kind of behavior cannot be done by myself, so I need everyone’s strength to help.”

“I know that these alone can’t force the family. So I specially prepared a generous reward for this.” After speaking, he tapped the scepter on the ground. After a while, the door at the back of the hall opened, and the housekeeper pushed the dining car away. Came out.

Uncovering the curtain on the dining car, what appeared in the eyes of everyone was a stack of shiny extraordinary gold coins, and there were also a few jewels on the side, which made people dazzling.

“These are only initial rewards. After the ruins are excavated, I will divide up 30% of the treasures for everyone.” He once again threw a heavy news.

After speaking, there was a loud conversation in the hall.

“Is it so generous? It’s unbelievable.”

“It always feels like it’s not that simple.”

“But it seems not bad for someone to give money for nothing.”

“Or, we should follow what he wants to see, I don’t think he dare to do anything to us. Once we have an accident here, the army corps stationed in the province will immediately send people over.”

“Besides, there are many distinguished people among the guests here. Does Viscount Mo Ruo dare to make any crooked ideas?” He looked at Lorrain Hill with a few glances.

After waiting for everyone in the hall to communicate, everyone probably has a plan in their minds.

“Because there is a restriction at the entrance to the ruins, everyone needs to work together to destroy and unlock it, and after entering it, you also need to explore the maze-like structure. These require everyone’s cooperation.” Viscount Mo Ruo explained again, but at this time someone in the hall started Raise your hands to express different opinions.

“Master Moruo, I’m just an ordinary businessman in the city, and may not be able to help you in this operation.” It was a local businessman who was speaking. He was keenly aware of the danger and prepared to shrink back.

“It turned out to be Mr. Difeng, I know your worries, but it doesn’t affect it. You don’t need to enter the ruins at that time, just wait outside.”

“In fact, many of you don’t have the fighting strength. I know this. The reason why everyone is here is not all to open up the ruins. I also want to ask you to be a witness.”

“If you only invite a small number of people, I’m afraid some people will worry that I will go back, but with you fair gentlemen, I think others will be able to feel at ease.” His words can be regarded as clearing some people’s doubts.

Seeing that Viscount Mo Ruo had said so, the others couldn’t refute his face for a while, so they gradually calmed down.

“I want to ask Lord Moruo, if treasures are found in the ruins, how should they be distributed?” The man from the East raised his glass and asked.

“Everyone will get 30% of it. If there is something our family needs, I will pay extra gold coins as compensation for recycling. Of course, the price is about the same as the market price and will not deduct everyone.”

“That’s it, I understand.” Although he didn’t believe that Mo Ruo could do it completely, Yan Liuyan didn’t ask any more at this time. He would not let it go easily if he got the right treasure.

“Then if you find something special, Lord Moruo, you should be clear about some conventions and rules. Some things cannot be handed over to individuals.” An officer sat at the round table and asked calmly.

“I will check something like this, and if it is true, I will report it to the royal or sage.” Viscount Mo Ruo’s answer was perfect, but as for the unbelievable, it was another matter.

Next, Mo Ruo answered a few more questions, and then he clapped his hands in fear, so that everyone was quiet again.

“Then let’s set off now, time is waiting for no one.”

After speaking, he walked ahead and led everyone to the open space in the middle of the castle. Soldiers holding torches had been waiting for a long time.

Soon after, a long line of fire dragons began to meander through the forest, towards the depths of the forest.

Riding a horse, looking at the long line at the back, the figures were faintly visible in the flames, Viscount Mo Ruo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The first step of the plan was achieved smoothly.

After the disappearance of the holy white ball, he slept with great torture every night, for fear that someone would take this thing and open the door of the ruins ahead of time, taking away the precious things he had been looking forward to for decades, making him a joke .

But he knew that the ruins might be stolen, but he couldn’t send someone to guard it. That was undoubtedly showing the way to various small organizations, saying that there are good things hidden underground here.

He couldn’t send someone to guard, and he didn’t have the key to open the door. In such a dilemma, he could only choose to break the game ahead of time, find a group of people, and break the door together so that he would not lose everything while waiting.

Fortunately, no one knows what is buried under this ruin, and his words just now are more of a fortune, as long as everyone does not find it in a short time. As for what happens when things are in hand, he has many ways to solve them. It really doesn’t work. Can’t you still go to sea? When the time comes, you will be far away from the empire, and you won’t know where he has gone.

Recalling the plan in his mind, Viscount Moruo moved forward again, surrounded by a group of guards, toward the steep area of ​​the back mountain.

Lorrain Hill sat sideways on the horse, Miss Charlene was driving the horse in front, she poked her head out and looked forward curiously.

She didn’t expect this to happen at this banquet. The Viscount Lord was really bold and dared to make strange cards to break the game in this way.

Since the key to open the door is lost, I simply abandon some of the treasures and tie everyone to their own chariot to break the game together. In the face of such a team, the small organizations peeping on the side are also deeply troublesome and difficult to deal with.

We must know that not only local celebrities, UU reading www.uukanshu.com nobles, etc., but also powerful officers and adventurers are in this team. Now they suddenly gather together, even if an organization like the “Fire Eye Orioles” gets news, Unable to call in for a short time to stop him, he could only watch Viscount Mo Ruo take away the things from the ruins.

However, although it is wise in the eyes of outsiders, Viscount Mo Ruo knew his family affairs, and there were many risks involved, and the next key was how to obtain the holy artifact without everyone paying attention.

If there are no sacred objects, just treasures, would the sages intervene? After all, this is a relic of the Mercury Dynasty, not something from the twilight age, so it is not so sensitive.

But if there are holy relics, the nature is different. In order to fight against the possible chaos disaster, all the holy artifacts unearthed in ancient times must be turned over to the sage’s association for safekeeping.

Under such regulations, apart from a small number of top nobles (such as the royal family and the four dukes) who can keep one or two pieces, other sacred objects will definitely be confiscated by the sages.

“I won’t give up.” Looking at the burning torches in the mountains, Mo Ruo whispered to himself.

He has devoted decades of his youth and years to this thing, how could he just give up? Even in the face of the sage society, he will not retreat.

Everything is for the great power that transcends all the ordinary, just like a fairy tale book he read when he was a child, that incredible spells and magic, and that fancy fantasy story are all tempting him, step by step closer to this dream.

He is no longer young, and the Transcendent Sequence basically has no possibility of advancing again. But even so, he still wanted to feel the strength and detachment that he had never experienced before.

Second only to the witch, a holy relic with power, this is his last hope.
