Chapter 87 86 Who Is the Trouble?
Chapter 87 86. Who is the trouble?
"The Marquis who cooks for the servants?"
"Marquis of what place?"
"Where does the Marquis have the strength to start at the sixth level?"
Felton, Hearst, and Heather obviously have different concerns.
Hester and Heather soon discovered another problem after they recovered.
They looked at Felton beside them and wondered: "Kes is your territory. What happened at the Red Crescent Tavern was reported to the guards that day. You should know that someone calls himself the Marquis. Why...you didn't have contact with him?"
Felton was embarrassed now.
When Lu Yu appeared, it happened to be the beginning of the dragon disaster. At that time, he was hurriedly deploying defenses and arranging affairs in the territory, so he didn't read the news reported by the guards at all.
The next day, he was reminded of it by the servant for the second time, but by coincidence, the Knights of the Stars arrived in Case City overnight.
Felton, whose mind was filled with thoughts of Heather, put aside the idea of having contact with Lu Yu gracefully.
Originally, this was not a big deal. After all, when a foreign marquis arrived in the territory of the Grand Empire, he would naturally be inferior to him, an orthodox marquis and local lord.
But everything is different now. This foreign nobleman who appears out of nowhere is most likely a sixth-level or even seventh-level summoner.
"What should we do now?" one member asked.
Hester touched his chin, and after thinking about it over and over, he said: "No action will be taken for the time being. We will come back after dawn tomorrow."
"From the information collected, it seems that this Marquis has nothing to do with the evil. Of course, we cannot make a judgment directly, so we need to contact him first."
"We must find out where he is a marquis, why he came to Grand, and why he attacked the adventurer." Hester asked, "By the way, how was the adventurer's injury?"
A member of the knights around him reminded: "The adventurer was poisoned. The doctors of the knights are trying their best to treat him. His life should not be in danger."
"Investigate the victim and see if he has any contact with the Marquis."
After making arrangements, Hester and Heather didn't plan to leave. They also opened two rooms in the Red Crescent Tavern, facing Lu Yu's room, and spent the night together.
Felton, on the other hand, yawned, gave orders to the guards, and went home to sleep.
He would never be able to do it if he was asked to stay in the tavern and guard him until Lu Yu got up.
Using bedding that had been used by lower-class people would make him feel tainted, and he didn't want other nobles to complain that he smelled like a pariah.
Because of his habit of exercising, Hester had already gotten up at dawn.
He stuck his head out of the window of the room and asked the guards on duty outside the tavern, confirming that Lu Yu and his party had not left the tavern.
After walking out of the room, Hester came to Heather's door and was about to ask her if she needed something to eat, but suddenly he remembered that Heather always liked to sleep in, so he retracted his extended hand.
Hester stretched and straightened his messy flaxen hair.
He suddenly found that the sound he made when he stretched seemed to have an echo.
Hester glanced at the side. A young man with black hair and an appearance that was completely different from the locals, but whose facial lines looked quite soft, had just finished stretching.
Hester just stared at the other person blankly. After two or three seconds, he immediately realized that this was the Marquis named Lu Yu, a foreign visitor who was suspected of being a seventh-level summoner.
"morning."
Perhaps noticing that he had been looking at him, Lu Yu greeted Hester politely.
"Morning...morning."
After saying hello, Lu Yu turned around and walked in. When he appeared in front of Hester again, he had a small sack in his hand.
Hester stared warily at the small sack.
Experience told him that magicians could always pull out very destructive props from their pockets.
It wasn't until Lu Yu walked into the kitchen and glanced at the flour left on the floor that he realized that Lu Yu was making breakfast.
Heather, who was woken up by Hester, saw a black mist floating out of Lu Yu's room before she could wash her face.
Now I feel refreshed without washing my face.
Just as Lu Yu's breakfast was about to be prepared, the servant Sigrid the boss mentioned appeared in front of Hester, followed by a ball of white mist that transformed into a giant butterfly.
The shape of the white mist changed for a while. Before talking to Sigrid, the butterfly turned into a caterpillar floating in the air.
Hearst looked upstairs and noticed some very strange details.
Hei Wu was eating with Lu Yu and the others, but Bai Wu was just watching from the side.
Logically speaking, Lu Yu is the master, and Sigrid is just a servant. Since when can servants sit at the same table when nobles eat?
Hester could tell that Lu Yu and his party planned to leave after breakfast. Their luggage had been packed and placed under the black mist.
"We won't wait for Felton, let's go and contact him ourselves." Heather made up her mind.
Hester also felt that he could not delay it any longer. If he waited until Lu Yu and his party got up from eating, it would only be abrupt for him to come forward to talk.
Before he even got close, the white mist that had been transforming turned into a fence, blocking Hester.
Seeing this, Heather said directly to Lu Yu: "You are the Marquis from a foreign country, right?"
Seeing Lu Yu raising his head with the golden pancake in his mouth, Heather breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to continue her conversation, the other person's words made her extremely embarrassed.
"We seem to have seen each other before. You hit my summon, then turned around and ran away."
Hearst felt embarrassed for Heather, but it was an innocent adventurer, so Hester introduced himself confidently and told the reason why he found him.
"I see, you think I attacked the adventurer and he almost died of poisoning, right?" Lu Yu explained, "However, I just happened to pass by that night and saw him lying on the ground struggling after being poisoned. I was kind-hearted. Just help me."
"If the adventurer is treated in time, he has a high chance of surviving. Ms. Heather snatched him away that night and he should be out of danger now. Just ask him and you should be able to clear my suspicions. "
There was no aggression, no arrogance, or even anger because of being questioned. The Star Knights had dealt with many nobles, and they rarely encountered such easy-to-talk people.
Whether Hester or Heather intend to confirm now is no longer the truth about the poisoning case, those who wait until the adventurers wake up should be able to come to a conclusion.
"You claim to be a Marquis. Can you tell us which country you are a Marquis from? As far as we know, the countries surrounding the Grand Empire are not as powerful as you..." Hester quickly changed his words, "Such a young Marquis."
"Oh, I'm from Seris. I encountered some accidents and couldn't return home. In order to find the direction home, I drifted on the sea for a long time, and finally came here."
Other than Siris, there's not much valuable information.
Hester glanced at Heather, who shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know where Siris was.
Through the conversation, she realized that Lu Yu was quite friendly, and Heather asked tentatively: "As a summoner, Marquis, the summoned objects are very strange, and they look very durable... I don't know, this kind of strange summoned object needs to be What level of foundation is it?”
Lu Yu glanced at the black mist around him and said with a smile: "No need for any foundation, just call her and she will come out."
As he spoke, Lu Yu waved to the black mist, which immediately floated to his shoulders and stopped.
"Oh, this means that this summoned object is actually nothing. I wonder what level of magic power the Marquis can use to summon it?"
Lu Yu smiled: "Actually, I'm just a beginner."
Hester and Heather looked at each other, already having a calculation in their minds.
They no longer asked for Lu Yu's personal information, but wanted to know Lu Yu's next plan.
Hearing that Lu Yu wanted to visit the capital of the Grand Empire, Hester immediately said that he could arrange for someone from the Knights of the Stars to accompany him.
"No, my partner and I don't like being around too many people."
Hester, who had been walking around the palace all year round, thought this was Lu Yu's expulsion order, and immediately pulled Heather, who was about to say something.
"In this case, we will not disturb you. After the Marquis arrives in the capital, he can come to the Knights of the Stars as a guest at any time."
After hastily ending the conversation, Hester pulled Heather away from the Red Crescent Tavern and then breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"How much do you believe what he said?" Hester asked, looking in the direction of the Red Crescent Tavern.
Heather twitched her eyebrows: "Except for the fact that he said he was a beginner, I can probably believe it. But considering that he said he was a beginner, I'm thinking about whether it's better not to believe the other parts."
beginner?
What a joke!
Is there any thing in the world summoned by a beginner that can withstand a blow from a sixth-level magician?
If Lu Yu said that his strength was average, it was modesty; if he said that his strength was weak, that was acting; if he said that he was just a beginner... he could basically treat them as fools.
A magician whose strength is not lower than the sixth level. He is proficient in summoning. When he introduces himself, he claims to be a Marquis from a foreign country. He talks well and treats others well. However, he deliberately downplays his strength. Why is this? ?
Afraid of causing unnecessary trouble?
But in their opinion, Lu Yu was the real trouble.
Speaking of trouble, Heather once again thought of the dragon that suddenly appeared.
"Speaking of which, is that giant dragon really still in the Grand Territory? Why can't we trace it at all?" Heather said to herself helplessly.
Felton's carriage galloped from a distance.
"Hester, Ms. Heather, why are you still here? Where is the Marquis?"
Seeing that Felton had just appeared, Hester couldn't help but sigh, the noble is really a strange creature.
Reluctantly, he told Felton about the contact, and Felton immediately asserted.
"It's fake, it's absolutely fake. How can there be such a thing as a Marquis cooking for his servants in this world? This man can't even pretend to be a noble!"
"Okay, Marquis Felton, I admit that the words coming out of your mouth are very convincing. How about you go and expose the other party's lies?" Hester sneered.
