While Roland was fighting bloody battles, this man could calmly collect his valuable jewelry and leave calmly.

This is so calm and even cold-blooded.

Such people will certainly not panic and talk nonsense.

Egilina murmured softly: "A force that even the stargazing club can't afford to offend?"

She repeated this several times before waking up at Granny's reminder.

The man was dead, and it was useless to blame Granny now, but the barbarian's reckless and violent character still gave her a headache.

She motioned for Granny to put down the ax and sit down opposite.

After calmly moving the ax away, Egilina felt relieved that she didn't have to worry about Granny suddenly going berserk.

This guy's fighting ability was terrifying when he fought hard, and she didn't dare to fight head-on.

Seeing Egilina being so careful, Granny felt a little embarrassed. She glanced sideways at the corpses on the ground and asked cautiously: "Miss Egilina, did I kill them by mistake?"

So you still know?

Egilina was speechless.

Although it was unreasonable to argue with the barbarians, she still expressed her reasoning in a language that the barbarians could accept.

Her original intention was to hope that Granny would not be impulsive in the future, but Granny just curled her lips and complained in a low voice: "Miss Egilina, you are good at calculations, don't you know the forces behind them? .”

Egilina: "..."

Bad, being with the barbarians, she was also led astray.

Like those who wear glasses and look for them, she forgot about herself.

She nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I can calculate. Clean up this place and sew up the bodies of these two people."

"Miss Egilina!"

Granny protested loudly: "You are making things difficult for me. It is easy for me to tear things, but sewing things will cost my life!"

"This is punishment for your reckless behavior!"

Thinking of her status as a prisoner, Granny immediately shut up.

Egilina left the secret room, leaving her sewing thread and needle.

Granny's slender fingers are actually very dexterous. She is just used to using strength to solve problems, but it's not that she lacks skills.

Forced by the order, she had to pick up the sewing needle and thread the needle with eyes wide open.

Although she was a little uncomfortable, she still took the temporary job as a seamstress seriously and prepared to sew corpses.

After threading her needle and thread, she looked at Lanna and Julie lying on the ground, feeling a little pity in her heart.

"Why would you two bastards betray your master?"

"For the sake of serving the master together, I have to sew it up for you. It's really troublesome."

Just as Granny complained softly, the fortune teller in her mind also took out the cards and prepared to calculate.

Egilina, whose fate calculation was backfired last time, learned well this time. She used the card deduction method that was least likely to be backfired.

Once you find something is wrong, just throw away the cards in your hand.

The card is just joking around because it doesn't understand, it has nothing to do with her.

What Julie said before she died made her heart palpitate.

After finally adjusting to her condition, she first added various buff magic and shields to herself before starting the deduction.

Although the spell shield has little effect on backlash, it has some psychological effects.

The first card landed on the ground, and it suddenly represented the unknown [mystery].

Egilina took a deep breath and tried her best to adjust her mentality.

A mystery is the worst start, not only does it mean that the outcome is difficult to predict, but it also requires several times more effort to intensify the deduction.

Normally, you can throw the cards once you get the mystery.

But this time is different. If she throws the cards directly when encountering a mystery, she will lose the nearest destiny node, and it will be more difficult to deduce it next time.

The stakes are high, and there may even be forces that threaten stargazing. No matter how difficult it is, it must be calculated.

The water around Roland was too deep, and the two pretty ordinary maids were so unpredictable. She didn't know for a while whether it was right to bet heavily on Roland.

The confusion was instantly dispelled, and Egilina's eyes regained their composure.

It was her decision to invest in Roland, and she couldn't back down if something went wrong.

She ultimately chose to believe in her sixth sense.

Stargazers are a tide-turner swimming in the river of destiny. People who cannot observe destiny are both their disaster and their opportunity.

Egilina drew the second card and placed it on the table.

Seeing this card, all the courage I had just mustered up dissipated.

【blasphemy】

This means that continuing to observe is an affront to the Great Being.

Bad news: No more cards can be drawn.

Good news: The answer is already there.

The main messenger behind the maid is the great spirit.

She couldn't guess which god's arrangement this was, and she didn't even dare to guess, but that didn't matter.

Even a deity with the lowest level of divinity can kill her with one look.

The realm of God should not be peeked into by the mortal world.

She finally knew how deep Roland's water was, but there was no joy in knowing the truth. Her soul was completely dominated by fear.

If she was given a chance to come back, she would definitely stay as far away from this maelstrom as possible.

She wanted to cry without tears.

Just because he was optimistic about Roland, who was still a baron, and wanted to get some angel investment to help him in times of need, he unexpectedly got on the pirate ship.

Her fate has been tied to Roland.

Roland is still waiting for news from her in the bedroom. He can't rush over and say that the past few days were all misunderstandings. Let's go back to the original starting point.

Misunderstand?

Who believes it!

After blaming herself for giving up, a sound like wind and thunder woke her up.

"Miss Egilina, the body has been sewn up, do you want to see it?"

Granny stood at the door, asking for credit with a smile on her face.

Although the barbarian was stupid, he was not a fool. She could see that Egilina did not intend to kill her to vent her anger.Although barbarians regard death as an honor, she is still young and does not want to have this honor for the time being.

Egilina, who was awakened by Granny, suddenly jumped up and her eyes softened a bit.

Since the maid next to Roland might be sent by the gods, she wouldn't find it strange that this barbarian girl was the messenger of the God of War.

It was Granny who killed Julie and Lanna. It was their own internal matter and had nothing to do with her!

Thinking of this, Egilina's expression became much more relaxed.

Anyway, let’s meet Roland first!

She smiled and nodded to Granny, and said softly: "Miss Granny, go and rest. I want to have a good talk with your master."

Although she didn't understand it, Granny could feel Egilina's friendly attitude.

She shook her head with a smile and whispered: "Miss Egilina, I am not a young lady. I am just an orphan from the Borage tribe. Just call me by my name."

After saying this, she disappeared from sight.

Chapter 17 Choices

orphan?

Egilina felt a little relieved, but soon became nervous again.

Damn it, Granny is an orphan, so it might be a backstage planted by some big shot!

He shook his head vigorously to disperse his worries.

At this point, Egilina is very calm. She has already boarded the boat. Surrounded by an abyss that cannot be gazed into, where is there any place to run?

After closing the door and taking out the crystal ball, she briefly reported the battle process to the teacher.

Just when she was hesitating what to say about the maids, Stevenson had already noticed something unusual.

"Lina, is there anything you can't tell the teacher?"

"Of course I won't hide it from the teacher, but this matter is complicated. Two of Roland's maids betrayed him and were executed with an ax by another maid."

Stevenson, who was opposite the crystal ball, was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "Lina, do you think the teacher looks like an old fool?"

"Of course not. Teacher, you are only over 700 years old, so you are still very young." She didn't dare to say this randomly. Seeing that the teacher's tone was not kind, Egilina quickly started complimenting her.

"Then you dare to lie to me in front of me? Just go to any free city and spend a little money to buy a carriage of maids. This kind of trivial matter is worth mentioning... um, are they special?"

Stevenson thought that Egilina would not be so boring, so he stopped abruptly in the middle of his scolding.

Egilina thought for a moment and said softly: "Teacher, I didn't see anything special about them. But I pulled out the card [Mystery] when divining their fate."

"Mystery?"

Stevenson frowned slightly, his heart beating rapidly.

"Just one mystery doesn't explain much, what about the second card?"

"[Profanity]."

The air froze for an instant, and the teacher and student looked at each other, and the silence was deafening.

After a long time, Stevenson took a deep breath and his voice trembled slightly, "Lina, you are at the scene and you must see it more clearly than the teacher. Tell me, what should we do?"

"Teacher, my opinion is to treat it as if nothing happened. I interrupted the divination in advance, and no calculation results were produced. Maybe it was not sensed by that great being."

"Lina, the power of the great existence is far beyond your imagination. Your idea itself is blasphemy."

"Teacher, we have no choice. I have told Roland that Guanxing is optimistic about him and is ready to invest in him. There is no way out if we want to withdraw at this time."

After saying this, Egilina was extremely calm and no longer worried at all.

If you buy it, you will leave it. If you are willing to admit defeat, what is there to say?

Stevenson frowned and remained silent. After a long time, he slowly said: "Lina, although it is a bit unkind to say this, I hope Roland will become your direct vassal."

"Eh? Doesn't the teacher intend to accept..."

Egilina was silent for a moment, she understood the teacher's words.

Roland was defeated and surrendered, and according to the rules, he had to join the Star Observation Club and become a lord under the Star Observation Club.If it falls under Stevenson's command, the Stargazing Club will be directly under the lord.

It would be different if he came under Egilina's command.If something happens, Stargazing Club can cut ties with her.

As long as Egilina leaves the stargazing club, what relationship will one of her lords have with stargazing?

In this way, the investment promise to Roland can be fulfilled, and light-speed cutting can be performed when necessary.

Can advance and retreat, very flexible.

As expected of a teacher with flexible political skills, he immediately thought of a way to break the situation.

Naturally, Egilina would not be as angry and dissatisfied as the little girl.

She knows very well that everything can be traded for the best interests. This is politics.

She is also a lord with the title of duke, and she knows the political rules very well.

She didn't say anything, and even responded in a joking tone: "Since the teacher is so generous, I won't be polite to you."

After discussing some more details, Egilina closed the crystal ball and left the quiet room.

Seeing the disciple's back gradually blurring into a shadow and disappearing, a trace of confusion flashed across Stevenson's eyes as he sat in the Star Hall.
