Chapter 228
In the first week, Lexweisse was responsible for manufacturing the toxins Rossweisse added to her medicine.
It was also the news media under Lex's command that ruined his reputation and caused him to fall from the hero who saved Sky Continent to the villain hated by everyone.
This old man who looks thin and dry is actually full of bad intentions. He will do anything for his own benefit.
Reminiscent of the information that Ekaterina brought to him before, when Sylph and Ellie first came to the Imperial City to gather with Saint Rossweisse, two people came to visit them.
One is Carlos, the president of the Adventurers Guild, and the other is the businessman Lex.
It seemed that Lex had already hooked up with Rossweisse before meeting him.
It's a pity that there are so many people here, otherwise Qin Chu really wants to seize the opportunity to put a silk thread just taken out of Sylph's body into Lex's body, which will definitely be exciting.
However, there will be plenty of time to deal with this guy slowly in the future, so Qin Chu is not in a hurry.
"Okay, Lex, you can go back and prepare weapons for Brother Qin." Wadsworth waved his hand and said.
There is no need for Wadsworth to pay attention to Lex now, and Wadsworth has never imagined that this little knifemaker who he doesn't like at all will take away most of the empire's wealth in the future, leaving Wadsworth I was itching my teeth with hatred, but there was nothing I could do.
Lex didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the emperor, so he quickly bowed his head and resigned.
After this disharmonious person left, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Whether it was Wadsworth, Augustus, or the nobles, their eyes fell on Qin Chu from time to time, but they didn't know how to speak.
Qin Chu already knew the reaction of these people.
The Seventh Prince Warren had already given Qin Chu Qi a long time ago.
If I accept any woman, you have to intervene, right? Do you have that qualification? Don’t you think you are being too lenient?
"Everyone, is this about the snow maiden Heloise and the blood elf Ietta?" Qin Chu picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said, his breath relaxed and without tension. He had already guessed the hero and the monster. As a woman, this matter will not go away so easily. After all, the hope of the entire Sky Continent rests on herself, a brave man.
These people hope that the brave man can devote all his energy to the humans in the Sky Continent, and never want to see a monster woman beside the brave man.
Qin Chu's voice broke the oppressive tranquility of the scene, and Wadsworth immediately took the opportunity to say: "Brother Qin, I'm not talking about you, I know you prefer... ahem, beautiful women, to be honest, who doesn't? I like it, I like it too, I also like it when I sleep at night with a beautiful woman under me, not an ugly one..."
Rude, so fucking rude.
As soon as this statement came out, many nobles looked at each other with their eyes and noses, trying to show that they were gentlemen and not the same kind as the rude Wadsworth.
Nobles, no matter how dirty they are behind the scenes, must maintain their elegance and dignity on the surface.
Only Santa Monica spat lightly, showing disdain for Wadsworth's words.
And Wadsworth didn't even care about the looks of others: "But you can't be greedy."
"Although it is very beautiful, it is a monster after all. Brother, you are a brave man. If this matter gets out, your reputation will be ruined."
Augustus also nodded. He was like a worried elder, teaching earnestly: "Of course we believe that Your Excellency the Brave One is dedicated to the Sky Continent, but Your Excellency the Brave One also knows that not everyone has the same idea as us. Especially those civilians... Your Excellency the Brave has actually taken in the Snow Girl and the Blood Elf. There is no guarantee that some people will doubt whether Your Excellency the Brave is of the same mind as us humans, and some people will take the opportunity to criticize you and spread rumors that you have taken refuge with the monsters..."
"We are all doing this for the sake of your reputation. The impact of this incident is really bad."
Wadsworth quickly connected: "Yes, yes, brother, I am here for your own good. Even if you really fall in love with that snow girl and blood elf, you can secretly bring them back and hide them, and just play with them occasionally." Yeah, why do you have to make such a big show of it, for fear that others won’t know?”
Even because of this trigger, the Holy Son of the Mother Earth Cult was killed.
"If there is really a shortage of women, I can't guarantee anything else. As long as you stand on the street and yell, the whole street will be filled with ladies from noble families, some fat, some thin, some with big breasts. You can have whatever you want with a flat chest, so why do you have to choose a monster woman?”
As crude as Wadsworth's words were, it was clear that everyone agreed.
As a brave man, Qin Chu was really not suitable to stay with a monster woman.
Qin Chu was smiling, but he was laughing in his heart.
Noble girl?
Sorry, in Qin Chu's opinion, monster girls may be cleaner than noble ladies.
Of course, Qin Chu would not be so stupid as to say such words.
He put down the tea cup, then spread his hands helplessly: "Everyone..."
"Who do you think I am?"
"Am I, Qin Chu, the kind of person whose eyes are as blind as his eyes?"
You are!
Qin Chu could clearly read this meaning from the eyes of many nobles around him, which made Qin Chu quite helpless.
People in Tianqiong Continent really misunderstand themselves too deeply.
It's very aggrieved.
Qin Chu felt that he needed to resolve the misunderstandings of everyone.
He stood up leisurely, with a gentle smile on his face: "Please rest assured, I am the hero you summoned. I will definitely complete my duty and bring nuclear peace to the Sky Continent..."
"This goal will not change no matter what happens."
"But while completing this goal, I don't think it's too much to satisfy the desire in my heart a little bit."
Desire? Desire, right?
To put it bluntly, you just think that the snow girl and the blood elf are very beautiful, although the two monster women are indeed very beautiful.
"As for my surrender to the monster, it is even more nonsense. If I surrender to the monster, I will never come back. What's more, although the monster girl is beautiful, I actually prefer maids."
A group of nobles rolled their eyes. If the monster girl dressed up as a maid, wouldn't she be invincible?
"No way, who made me a philanthropic person." Qin Chu spread his hands and made the final summary.
The atmosphere around was very strange. It was obvious that the hero had expressed his attitude. He would not give up the two monster girls he had already obtained for any reason.
A noble frowned. None of the nobles who could attend this meeting were fools. Each of them was very cunning. They did not want the hero to have monster girls around him, which would make them feel uneasy.
However, they would never offend Qin Chu rashly, so even if they wanted to refute and question Qin Chu, they would definitely praise him first:
"Your Excellency the Brave, we deeply admire your high-level character, but that is why we do not want to see any stain on your dignity. After all, they are just two dirty monsters..."
Before the noble finished speaking, Qin Chu had already walked slowly behind the noble, put one hand on the noble's shoulder, with a strange smile on his face, lowered his voice, and sent the voice into the noble's ears like a mosquito: "Marquis Strachey..."
"Little Evie tastes good, right?"
Crunch.
The voice of Marquis Strachey was immediately stuck in his throat.
His eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, his face full of disbelief.
Little Evie was a little succubus captured by Strachey after he spent 600,000 mana to hire a group of skilled mercenaries to sneak into the monster's territory.
She has been imprisoned in Strachey's mansion and cannot leave the mansion.
How did Qin Chu know about this?
Looking at Qin Chu's gentle smile, Strachey felt his scalp tingling.
That smile was like a clear warning to himself: Your Excellency the Marquis, you don't want to spread the news of keeping a succubus, right?

Chapter 272: Following the Will of the Lord of Pleasure (2)
These days, Strachey has been intoxicated by the tenderness of the succubus, and even ignored his wives and concubines who were not bad in appearance and figure.
There was no way, the succubus was too good.
The skin was so delicate and the figure was so graceful.
The skills made Strachey feel that he was about to be squeezed dry.
The taste of the succubus was really great.
Strech was a marquis of the empire, and he was the kind of person who held real power. Although he was not responsible for commanding the front line, he was responsible for the allocation of military supplies for part of the empire's army. This position was very important. Once people knew that he had secretly hidden a succubus, it would immediately become an excuse for other nobles to impeach him.
It was precisely because of this that Strachey had been cautious. Even the group of mercenaries were killed by Strachey afterwards. He thought he had done it perfectly and no one could know his secret. How did the brave know it?
For a time, Strachey's heart was in turmoil.
Qin Chu just smiled and patted Strachey's shoulder, without saying anything more, but the meaning was obvious, you don't want the news of your privately raising a succubus to be spread, right?
This is the threat of the hero.
In the first round, Qin Chu had been practicing hard in the first few years, and he only read the newspaper during his rest time to find out what had happened recently.
The newspapers in the Sky Continent basically recorded some gossip and the like, Qin Chu just read it casually and laughed it off as something without nutrition, who would have thought that it would work at this time.
This Marquis will be exposed in two months for privately raising a succubus for half a year, and thus lose his lucrative job.
Strachey's lips were pale and twitching. Suddenly, he changed the subject:
"Although they are two dirty monsters, I believe that under the guidance of the high-level character of the hero, they will definitely go on the right path, so I think it is not impossible to accept them."
"What's more, this snow girl and blood elf assisted the hero in killing the second prince of the monster, Eldridge. They have completely broken with the monsters. As human beings, I feel that we should show the tolerance of being born as human beings."
Fuck!
This sudden change of attitude stunned a group of nobles.
Is Strachey having a brain cramp?
When we discussed privately before, you clearly stated that you must get rid of the monsters from the hero. Why did your attitude change now?
No one present was stupid.
Anyone could see that Strachey was obviously caught by the hero.
For a moment, none of the nobles around spoke.
This hero is not simple.
There was silence all around.
Many nobles were thinking in their hearts whether they would have any handles that the hero could catch.
After a long time, a middle-aged man coughed softly. Just when he was about to speak, Qin Chu suddenly smiled at the man.
The man's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Before he could speak, Qin Chu had already walked to the side of the middle-aged man: "Is this Earl Bruel?"
He obviously didn't intend to use that bad sentence structure, but the words still slipped out of his mouth involuntarily...
"Earl Bruel, you don't want your wife to know about your affair with the nuns of the Holy Church, right?"
Qin Chu spoke very carefully, almost using magic to send his voice to the other party's ears.
Except for Bruel, even the nobles sitting next to him couldn't hear it.
One sentence immediately made Bruel pale.
In an instant, the look he gave Qin Chu was like looking at a devil.
Bruel's identity is quite special. He is just a small baron. His wife is the only daughter of the earl. Bruel is a son-in-law. After the old earl passed away, the title temporarily fell to Bruel, but the real inheritance right still lies with his wife.
Therefore, it is normal for an ordinary earl to have three or five lovers, but not for Bruel. Once his wife finds out, he will be kicked out of the house immediately, and his earl title will certainly be stripped.
Every time he has an affair with a nun, he is very careful, for fear of being discovered. Where did Qin Chu get the news?
How could Bruel know that his name would be on the front page of the tabloids in half a year. Earl Bruel had been committing adultery with a nun for a year and was kicked out of the house...
After a short silence, Bruel suddenly smiled: "Everyone, I also agree with the Marquis of Strachey. The character of the brave man is so noble, like the bright moon hanging in the sky, the light is so bright, I believe that even monsters will be purified by the light of the brave man."
Hiss...
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
If it was just one, it might be just a coincidence. Now even Bruel is like this. These people believe that the brave man must have some secrets.
And these secrets are very important to every noble.
Suddenly, there was complete silence all around, and everyone tightly shut their mouths, fearing that they would become the next target of the hero. After all, none of them had any dirty deeds, and some things would cause big trouble once they were spread out.
The three old sly men, Wordsworth, Santa Monica, and Augustus, said nothing.
Since you guys won't say anything, I'll say it!
Qin Chu still had that creepy smile on his face: "Everyone, if anyone has any opinions, just say it. Aren't we all here to communicate in a friendly manner? I believe we can definitely find a good way to deal with Heloise and Ieta."
"Huh? Why hasn't anyone spoken yet? Duke Berrol, why don't you come first? I saw that you seemed to have something to say just now."
Duke Berrol, whose name was called by Qin Chu, had a slightly stiff expression on his face. Although he didn't think that Qin Chu would catch any handle on him, with the situation of Marquis Strachey and Count Bruel in front of him, Berrol didn't dare to be careless. With a turn of his eyes, the old sly guy immediately spoke: "Well, I think what Strachey and Bruel said makes sense."
"Mr. Qin is the brave man we summoned. No matter what, we must give Mr. Qin absolute trust."
"With Mr. Qin's character, he will never betray humans just because of two monster women. I absolutely believe in Mr. Qin."
"Thank you, I'm a little embarrassed that you praise me so much." Qin Chu smiled and nodded, then looked at another person: "Marquis Romer..."
