Chapter 1747 Power

The night quickly dissipated the moment the sun rose.

Glory descended on the earth again.

Sika City has not recovered from the curfew three days ago.

At that time, the sun was already overhead, and there were not too many pedestrians in the entire Sika City.

In fact, since the fire broke out in the Viscount Mansion two days ago and the respected Viscount Sika disappeared, the entire city of Sika has been in chaos and chaos.

If the viscount's sister hadn't come forward to temporarily manage Sika City on her behalf, I'm afraid a big chaos would have occurred.

Many people are grateful for this.

But more people were surprised by this.

Because no one thought that the viscount sister who lost her husband early had such an ability.

I couldn't help but sincerely admire this Baroness.

After all, even a man would be hard-pressed to bring Sika City, which was about to fall into chaos, back into order in a short period of time.

Especially the noble ladies who are also women seemed to recognize this baroness for the first time. Therefore, when the baroness invited the afternoon tea party, these noble ladies began to prepare carefully, and these noble ladies Women's husbands have become very careful when trying to show their best side.

Compared to their wives and lovers, they know more.

At dawn the next day, when the death of Viscount Sika was confirmed, some people in Sika City immediately became restless, and several groups of bandits near the Sika Territory were even more eager to fight.

However, that night, those guys disappeared one by one.

The bandits who were contacted also disappeared.

No one can be seen in life, no corpse in death.

Then, the next day, some "unreasonable" guy jumped out and disappeared again.

The continuous disappearance is enough for even a fool to understand what happened.

Therefore, Sika City and Sika Territory became quiet.

All those who knew about it looked at the baroness with fear.

This is a well-disguised femme fatale.

Many people even speculated that Viscount Sika's accident was related to the other party.

Of course, just thinking about it.

No one dared to speak out.

After all, no one wants to disappear.

The Baroness, who was scrupulous by many people in Sika City, did not feel complacent or in control of the overall situation at this time. She paced restlessly in the Viscount's mansion.

This room belongs to her and has not changed since she got married.

She stayed here when she returned from visiting relatives.

After arriving here from her manor this time, she returned here again.

Thinking of the changes that had occurred in just a few days, the normally reclusive Baroness couldn't help but frown.

The son is missing.

My brother is dead.

She is the only one left in the direct line of the entire Sika family.

After confirming this fact, she immediately wanted to take refuge in Etantinoburg.

She would never meet those collateral relatives with malicious intentions.

Because that would only bring surprise to her.

He even died of depression because he was 'worried' about his son and brother.

She knew all too well what those relatives wanted.

So, when the collaborator came to her door, she immediately agreed.

She has no choice, right?

Compared with a group of relatives who are like wolves and tigers, she believes more in a messenger of the gods, especially when he has a gentle temperament, elegant behavior and handsome appearance.

And a series of things that happened after that proved that her choice was not wrong.

That collaborator mopped up the bastards.

She began to take over Sika City safely.

However, it is not a one-and-done solution.

At least she needed to get through today's tea party.

But she didn't have much confidence.

She rarely expresses herself in public and is not used to doing so. Otherwise, she would not live in seclusion in the manor.

She is more used to reading.

When she was a girl, she was used to holding her dog and reading in her room. This habit did not change after she got married. In fact, her husband also liked reading very much.

Their greatest pleasure is reading together.

However, her son did not inherit their reading habit.

On the contrary, I love long swords more than books.

She and her husband didn't object.

She believed her son deserved to make his own choices.

Her husband believed that boys should learn to protect themselves and their families - the other party did the same. During a wild hunt that he had to participate in, after being attacked by a brown bear, the other party carried out his own actions. oath.

The Baroness' eyes became wandering.

She thought again of her husband.

The messenger looked very much like her husband.

Not only in appearance, but also in temperament.

Moreover, the other party also promised to find Karl's whereabouts.

Hope that kid is okay!

The Baroness whispered a prayer.

The god of prayer is not the god of war, but...

‘Mist’!

Before coming into contact with the divine envoy, unlike her brother, she did not have any firm beliefs and mostly just recited them casually. If there was a god of books, she wouldn't mind having some faith, as long as the other party could provide it. More books.

At this moment, belief in the ‘fog’ is one of the contents of the transaction.

While it may seem sacrilegious to do so, it's really just a transaction.

She believes in the 'Mist', which provides her with protection.

Compared with leaving one's hometown and going to Etantino, it seems that it is not difficult to believe in a god, especially since this god is not as evil as the legend says.

So just believe in it, it doesn’t cost anything anyway.

Boom, boom, boom.

A knock on the door sounded at this time.

The Baroness, who had been waiting for a long time, opened the door without thinking.

The superior evil spirit stood outside the door with a smile on his face.

"Good afternoon, Baroness Nord."

The superior evil spirit bowed and saluted.

Nord is the surname of her husband's family. After getting married, Irene Sika became Irene Nord.

After Baron Nord died unexpectedly, Eileen Nord inherited her husband's title and territory - because Viscount Sikka had no heirs, her son was destined to inherit everything from the Viscount.

"Good afternoon, Simon."

The Baroness greeted.

Even though she was anxious and uneasy, at this time, the Baroness's etiquette was perfect. She did not lift up her skirt. This is unique to unmarried girls. If a married or widowed person does this, it will be regarded as frivolous. They Choose a more conservative smile salute, without bending your knees, keeping your body upright, placing your hands on your lower abdomen, and nodding with a smile.

If you bend your knees, you are facing the superior.

With his status as a baroness and the fact that he is about to inherit the Sika Territory, King Attantine VI is probably the only one in the entire Hokkien who can afford such etiquette.

leftover?

A few are equal.

Most of them had to bow to the Baroness.

"Are you nervous?"

After the superior evil spirit closed the door, his tone became relaxed, as if he was chatting with a friend.

This is what it has discovered in recent days. As long as it remains the friend of the other party, most of the time, the Baroness will relax her vigilance and become friendly.

Of course, no deception.

The other person is far smarter than most people imagine.

The other party, who has read tens of thousands of books, has knowledge that ordinary people do not possess.

Although it is not practiced most of the time, it is still amazing.

At least, it can't sit there boringly for more than ten hours reading a book.

On the contrary, its boss has similar interests, but it is only because of the power in the book, which is far less pure than the Baroness in front of him.

"Um."

"I haven't faced a situation like this in a long time."

"In fact, I have basically never faced such a situation except when I was getting married."

Facing the friendly Simon, the Baroness did not hide anything.

"Just think of them all as pumpkins."

"Insignificant pumpkin."

The upper evil spirit smiled.

"But pumpkins don't mean any harm."

The Baroness gave a wry smile.

People are always so unconfident when facing areas in which they are not good at.

The Baroness is no exception.

If it comes to reading comprehension and recitation, she is sure to beat everyone.

"Believe me, they don't mean any harm either."

The superior evil spirit assured.

This is not a perfunctory or comforting word, but it is true.

This is a task given to it by its Boss, and of course it will not let it fail.

They are just a bunch of guys with evil thoughts but no power.

It's best at dealing with guys like this.

Because when it pressed these guys to the ground and rubbed them, it was impossible for these guys to resist.

"Um."

Looking at the gentle 'Simon', the Baroness nodded slightly.

"Do you want to see Carl?"

Suddenly, the superior evil spirit said.

"Have you found him?"

the Baroness asked in surprise.

"found it."

"However, he is not in good condition."

"He suffered the curse of the 'Sleeping Deer'. Although the 'Sleeping Deer' was killed by my lord, the power of the curse has not disappeared, and has even become more difficult to deal with."

"Karl has become one with the power of the curse!"

"Simply put, if our Lord forcibly dispelled the curse, Carl would also die."

The superior evil spirit explained.

It still had quite an impression on the Skeleton Knight whom he had met several times.

You know, not just anyone is qualified to block a gun.

"Can I meet him?"

asked the Baroness.

"certainly."

"But you need to be mentally prepared."

The superior evil spirit reminded me kindly.

It knew exactly what kind of person the baroness in front of it was.

In fact, it has seen too many such people around its Boss.

As long as you maintain a basic living standard, with electricity, internet, a mobile phone and a computer, you can spend your life in any room.

Belongs to the extremely harmless category.

This is also the biggest reason why my boss chooses the other party.

Because you don’t have to worry about the other person having any bad or extra thoughts.

"good!"

The Baroness hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Then, Karl, wearing black full-body armor and a helmet, walked in, followed by Sergei and Hov, two young men who had just become the leaders of the city guards and the leaders of the viscount's residence.

"grown ups."

After the two young men bowed, they stood guard on both sides of the door like door gods.

Karl, on the other hand, stood at the door and hesitated.

Of course he saw his mother.

Before coming, the two young men also explained a lot.

But……

When he really stood in front of his mother, Karl was still timid.

After all, he had already become something evil.

"Karl?!"

The Baroness was stunned for a moment before confirming that this was indeed her son.

The son she gave birth to when she was fifteen. He had been naughty and mischievous since he was a child. He secretly ran away to join the patrol at the age of sixteen. He never listened to her and thought he was on his own.

Taking two steps forward, the Baroness raised her hand to touch Karl's faceplate.

She did not lift her son's visor.

Because she felt her son trembling again.

It was fear, fear.

She was afraid of what he looked like at this moment.

Afraid that he'd lost her.

"Do not worry."

"I'm your mother. I know what you think, and I won't force you. Besides, the curse can't be lifted."

said the Baroness softly.

Karl wanted to tell his mother that his state had nothing to do with the curse, but he couldn't say it at all, let alone that he had lost the ability to speak.

In the end, Karl could only nod.

For more than an hour after that, the Baroness kept talking about what happened to her recently.

Karl listened silently.

The superior evil spirit wisely left the room temporarily.

It wasn't until the maid came to announce that the afternoon tea party was about to begin that the superior evil spirit knocked on the door again.

"Baroness Nord, the afternoon tea party will begin soon."

The superior evil spirit reminded me.

"I'm ready."

The baroness opened the door and walked out. Then, she stood in front of the superior evil spirit. She looked at the superior evil spirit with a slightly pleading look and said, "Simon, can you accompany me? We don't need to walk side by side. You just have to watch me from the corner.”

"certainly."

Just in case, the upper evil spirits need to stay hidden.

Now with the invitation from the Baroness, it really couldn't be better.

"Very good!"

The baroness walked forward accompanied by the maid, who was wearing a formal dress and was excited.

Sergei and Hov saluted the Lord God Envoy and quickly followed him.

Karl stood there without moving, staring at the upper evil spirit, his soul fire beating in a complicated way.

"What's wrong?"

The upper evil spirit asked simply.

"You said that you saved me because you saw my pain and you were willing to bear my pain."

In the way of the undead, Carl communicates with higher-level evil spirits.

"Yes, my brother."

"I never mind carrying your pain."

"Be it before, now or in the future."

The superior evil spirit showed that gentle smile again.

"Then take care of my mother for me."

"I don't want her to suffer again."

"In exchange, I will pray to the Mist day and night."

Carl replied.

"Be called my Lord."

The superior evil spirit reminded.

"I will pray to my Lord day and night, for you and my mother."

After saying that, Karl turned around and walked towards the venue of the afternoon tea party.

Of course he couldn't participate openly.

However, he doesn't mind guarding his mother in the shadows.

If anyone dared to jump out of his wits, he wouldn't mind dragging the other person to the cemetery to have a heart-to-heart talk and see if the color of the heart is red or black.

"For me and your mother?"

The superior evil spirits always find this sentence strange, but they can't explain why.

Then, it immediately discovered happily that it had found a powerful helper for Boss.

What's more important is that after this tea party, the entire Sika Territory will become the back garden of his boss, providing a steady stream of manpower for his boss and alleviating his boss's biggest shortcomings.

At the same time, it began to subconsciously formulate an expansion plan for the 'Mist' Church.

How can a Sika collar match his own Boss?

Border Morsa.

Etantino, the center of the Hokuriku.

Even the entire Hokuriku should have a "mist".

Only in this way can you be worthy of your own Boss.

I am indeed the Boss's most effective follower!

The superior evil spirit walked happily towards the tea party.

If you make a promise to someone else, you must keep your promise.

It is not an evil spirit that breaks its promises.
