"Count, the envoy you sent to Gray City has returned to Moon City."

"Gray City envoy. Which envoy?"

When asking, Count Gunterkin was walking in the garden path of the inner courtyard.

Of course he remembered the Gray City, after all, it was one of the five mortal cities he managed.

But Gray City had been out of control for more than six months. He subsequently tried to launch several military operations and sent at least six envoys, but all ended in failure.

There were too many envoys sent, and it was a bit difficult to tell who was who for a while.

"First-class citizen Rupert, was previously an 18th-ring wizard, but was promoted to a 19th-ring wizard last night."

Count Gunterkin stopped subconsciously, he was attracted by the term 'newly promoted 19th-ring wizard'.

Since the war, most of the residents of Moon City have been living in a deep loss, and few have successfully broken through the 19th ring.

After a careful recollection, the name Rupert finally rushed out of the complicated memory and became a specific living person.

He remembered that he was a man who liked to wear black clothes and had a gloomy look in his eyes.

He actually didn't like this person very much, but this person had a high level of magic skills and was ruthless, so he was very suitable to help him do some dirty work.

So, in his heart, Rupert was a tool to be consumed.

"Didn't Rupert die?"

"No. According to his own description, he used some very flexible means to avoid the fate of death, and under the whip of the god of death, he successfully touched the 19th ring."

"Oh~~ Then this guy is really capable."

Gunterkin took it seriously. After all, this was a rare 19th ring wizard, and he was already his most powerful retainer.

After a pause, he asked: "When did he come back?"

"Ten days ago, Earl. I reported the relevant news to you the next day, but you ignored this information at that time."

Earl Gunterkin subconsciously patted his forehead: "Well, it seems that this is indeed the case."

He was very busy during this period because the annual Queen's Birthday Anniversary was coming.

A grand birthday party will be held at that time, and all the eternal nobles must be present, and they must prepare a decent birthday gift for the queen.

If it was just a birthday gift, it would not be a big deal.

The key is that he heard that the queen was going to bring up the old matter again, to do some "mortal reconstruction plan", and even proposed to realize the real "interconnection between heaven and earth".

And this time, the queen's attitude was extremely firm, and she had won the support of a group of eternal nobles.

Gunterkin was firmly opposed to rebuilding the mortal world.

He always believed that the civilians in the mortal world should be completely rotten in the ruins, and never affect his beautiful life in Moon City.

But no matter what, the newly promoted 19th ring wizard, who is also his retainer, is still worth meeting.

"Juliet, call him to see me."

"Yes, Earl."

About half an hour later, a man in black clothes and a calm expression hurried towards him. When he entered, he saluted properly.

"My Lord Earl, first-class citizen Rupert sends his greetings."

Gunterkin looked the man in front of him up and down, and compared him with the Rupert in his memory, and then found some small changes, especially in his eyes.

He used to be gloomy, like a wounded lone wolf, and seemed to be ready to hurt people at any time, but now he has a lot more confidence, so he looks much more calm.

The Earl's impression suddenly improved a lot.

"Rupert, you look much more serious, it seems that this trip to the mortal world has greatly tempered your temperament."

Rupert, that is, Rosen nodded: "I have indeed gained a lot of insights into life."

"Talk to me."

As he said, the Earl continued to walk, and Rosen followed him and observed the Earl carefully.

The soul of the 20th ring has a soul lifespan of at least more than 1,100 years, and if nothing unexpected happens, it can live for another five or six thousand years.

He looked elegant on the surface, but from Rupert's memory, the humanity in this guy's soul had long been worn away by the long time, leaving only cold and pure interests, as well as the selfishness and indifference of most eternal nobles.

But for Rosen, this information was not important. He didn't care what kind of person the other party was.

What really mattered was the way the soul of this earl and Juliet was connected.

He wanted to take a closer look at how Juliet authenticated the identity of this earl.

After walking a few steps, the Earl said, "The Queen intends to rebuild the mortal world. What do you think?"

Rosen's mind quickly turned. He understood the Earl's idea. He immediately catered to his point of view:

"Your Majesty is too young. He has ideals and enthusiasm, but he can't recognize the reality."

This is exactly what the Earl wants. He smiled and said, "Why do you say that?" "Because the mortal world is completely rotten. The mortals living in the mortal world are all a group of dirty, stupid, shameless villains. They are not worth saving at all."

"If you ask me, it's okay to rebuild, but before rebuilding, you should use high-powered forces to clean up all the dirty rats in the mortal world. After the earth is revitalized again, you can select people from the Moon City to go down to the mortal world and carry out a thorough reconstruction."

"Well said!"

The Earl was very happy and clapped his hands vigorously to show his support for Rosen's remarks.

"It seems that your trip to the Gray City is indeed very rewarding."

At this time, the two had walked to the end of the garden, and the entrance to the Earl's study was right in front of them.

The Earl said: "Go to my study and tell me about your thrilling journey in Gray City."

"As you wish."

At this time, Rosen had completely understood the soul connection between the Count and Juliet.

It is so delicate that it is difficult for mortals to disguise it, but true gods can.

However, he still needed some time to find loopholes in this connection, so the count's invitation came at the right time.

Soon, the two entered the count's study.

"Come and sit down. Do you want something to drink?"

The count was in a good mood and his attitude was very enthusiastic. He even poured a glass of wine for Rosen himself.

Rosen looked ‘flattered’.

After taking a humbly sip of wine, he told the story he had carefully composed in detail at a neither fast nor slow pace.

The plot of this story was full of ups and downs and the tone was vivid, which immediately attracted the earl's attention.

For a character who has lived for more than a thousand years, the Count's daily life is actually quite boring.

At this time, I suddenly heard some new stories, and I immediately became interested. Before I knew it, I was fascinated by them.

When he was listening to more than half of it, he suddenly felt a little fuzzy, a bit like being drunk. He was drifting, unable to distinguish up, down, left, and right, and he couldn't feel the passage of time.

Normally, he would have been alert immediately, but his attention was attracted by Rosen's story, so his reaction was a little slower.

Just such a mistake caused him to miss the opportunity to escape the trap.

For some reason, the earl felt very sleepy. His vision went dark, and the voice of his retainer Rupert could be heard vaguely in his ears:

"My Lord Earl, you seem to be tired. Can I help you rest?"

"Hmm~~Okay."

The count felt that the situation was a bit abnormal and wanted to respond, but he was too sleepy.

After holding on for a few seconds, he completely lost consciousness.

On the other side, Rosen sat on the earl's chair, patting his gorgeous noble robes gently, his brows and eyes full of contemplation:

"Juliet indeed has no independent consciousness. She is still essentially just an intelligent puppet with extremely complete functions."

If he had a sense of autonomy and even possessed the power of a true god, then he would have trouble pretending to be Rupert, let alone pretending to be the Eternal Earl Gunterkin.

"So, the real situation is most likely that within the Eternal Empire, an ambitious and strong man who obtained part of the power of the true god appeared, and used Juliet's strong control over the empire to commit this series of events."

Why is it part of the true power of God?

Because if he were a true god, he would be able to completely control Juliet, and with Juliet's control over the empire, this person didn't have to hide at all, he could just reveal his cards.

So, who is this strong man hidden behind the scenes?

Unclear, pending further investigation.

The good news is that he successfully disguised himself as the Eternal Earl Gunterkin and obtained the authority of the Eternal Earl.

This authority is much higher than that of first-class citizens.

As for the real Gunterkin, his body has been transformed into Rupert by Rosen, and his soul is imprisoned in his soul by Rosen, who reads his soul memory at any time to ensure that he disguises himself more perfectly.

Rupert has completed his mission. At this time, Laifu will take control on his behalf and will become a transparent person most of the time.

"Rupert, please step aside."

"Yes, Earl." Rupert left the study humbly.

Rosen sat on a chair in the study and began to briefly browse the count's memory.

After watching for about an hour, he already knew something in his mind, and thought to himself: "In half a month, all the eternal nobles will attend the Queen's birthday dinner. Not bad~~ It's really good!"

He had reason to suspect that this careerist was hiding in Moon City, and he was most likely a very high-ranking eternal noble.

Maybe he was a prince who wanted to usurp the throne.

Now that I have encountered such a good opportunity, I naturally want to investigate it carefully.

This book is coming to an end. Starting from today, I will update it every day to prepare a new book.
