The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

Don't ask when this scene happened, it's just a posing.

Coupled with the fact that Hannah White is a traitor to the Knights, the article did not hide it.This has led to all the characters appearing in the entire article, as if to set off the greatness of the earl.

Although Riber already knew that today's Pioneer Daily would be such a virtue, he was mentally prepared.But he only glanced at the article roughly, and he was still so nauseous that he almost vomited.

However, this is also impossible.

With a large number of people infected by the plague, and the symptoms are very similar to "Stanger's disease", it is almost impossible for the seeds of fear and panic planted by Hannah White not to germinate.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the people found a new way and did this trick.

Riber himself has been touted as "Greenwater's hero" before.Moreover, there is a nearly perfect personality in terms of identity, appearance, and personality.

And this kind of him saved the public from a disaster that nearly wiped out the entire city the night before.

Presumably, the residents of Greenwater City will worship Riber to an unprecedented level.Even, the attention of the residents was completely diverted from the "pest plague", and they forgot about this terrible disease and disaster.

Overall, everyone is happy except for Riber himself.

Going out now is going to be a real camouflage...

Thinking of this, Riber let out a long sigh.

Seeing Riber finished reading the newspaper, Sebas, who had stood aside before, whispered a message in Riber's ear.

That was yesterday's painting for Alice, the little guy was so angry that he didn't sleep well, Master Grofell, here he is.

Soon after.

An old man with gray hair walked into the unnamed restaurant with his head held high and his chest held high, and appeared in front of Riber.

Volume 130: Chapter [-], Fading Memories

For Grofell's first impression, Riber found it strange.

Because, this little-known eight-rate painter who paints a picture as if there are traces of falling water everywhere is actually shining, and he is at the level of an important supporting role.

When he first crossed, Riber thought that the light of supporting roles was relatively rare.However, with the advancement of the Sorrow Witch line, Riber found that supporting roles are not so rare.It's better to say that the little bit of light is even rarer.

However, what does the supporting role that pops up at this moment represent?

If it's the Sorrow Witch line, isn't the square already overcrowded?

First is the hero Chris and the heroine Evanna, then there is the phantom thief Lysa and the female secretary Lin, and finally there is a substitute-like supplementary role, the phantom thief leader Brigitte.The five-person protagonist group maintains an excellent balance in terms of number, responsibilities, and combat power.Except for the male protagonist, all of them are women, which also conforms to the style of GALGAME.

Therefore, after the original plot advances to the fourth act "Insect Plague", the possibility of adding an old man with unknown meaning as a teammate to the protagonist group should be very small.

After all, the next step is basically the finishing stage.If the old man who joined for a few days performed too well and directly dealt with the villain, he would be somewhat suspicious of a mechanical descendant.And the old man didn't show much, which means that the plot is over before the player has time to develop feelings for the old man.The existence of the old man is extremely tasteless.

But it seems a little subtle to say that Groffir is an important supporting role of the villain.

Up to now, not only the birth ceremony of the witch in reality, but also the ritual process of the original plot has become much clearer.

To give birth to a witch, one has to go through seven foggy nights in total.

The ceremony began on the day when the serial killer "Screaming Ghost" who was arrested before Riber came to Greenwater City was executed by the Knights.

In the original plot, the sacrifice of the first foggy night was "Screaming Ghost".The sacrifices of the second night and the third night were the "Flayer" who attacked Ewenna's hut and the "Crimson Hunter" who confronted Lysa in the plot screen.

That's right, it wasn't until a few days ago that Riber finally recognized the "Crimson Hunter" that appeared in the third act of the plot through the comparison of various portraits.It is also because of this that there is speculation that the "Crimson Hunter" died in reality, but failed to become a sacrifice, and it was confirmed as a fact through interrogation.

As for the sacrifice on the fourth night, it was naturally the "Bug King", Hannah White.

If the last sacrifice is the "dismemberer", then the sacrifice required for the witch's birth ceremony, that is, the important role of the villain, needs two more.

However, judging from the conclusion that the "skinned man" does not shine, not all the sacrificed people can emit the light of an important supporting role.

The reason why Hannah can shine is because he jumped up and down during the ceremony, and he did many things besides being a sacrifice, and even became a single-act BOSS, so he is qualified to shine.

So, will the remaining two sacrifice-positioned characters be as important as Halla?

Riber thinks it shouldn't be.Still, it's probably possible that one will shine.After all, the mysterious organization probably also has the role of a military adviser, connecting all the events in series.

There is only one pit left for the precious and important villain, so this pit happens to be the painter Grofell who was invited by chance?

...

Wouldn't it be so coincidental?

Greenwater City is not small at all, and there are many people, so it is not so easy to run into it.

Isn't the probability about the same as winning the lottery?

Compared with this probability, the guess that Master Grofell is an important supporting role in other lines is obviously more likely and more reasonable.

While Liber frowned slightly, thinking about the unexpected situation, Sebastian on the other side had already started negotiating with Master Grofell.

Words like "Your paintings are too rubbish, and my eldest lady is angry, so the Earl dragged you in to make you redraw" are naturally not suitable for Liber to say.

Although Sebastian spoke a little more tactfully, he also fully and clearly expressed the meaning of these words to Grofell.

Then, to the surprise of both master and servant, Groffir stubbornly refused their request.

On the one hand, Master Grofell stated that there was no problem with his painting, and firmly stated that he would not draw another one. He also expressed eccentrically that Ribel's master and servant did not understand art at all, and did not understand his painting "Ten Years Old". "is such a great and timeless masterpiece.He also sneered and said that he painted Alice because he wanted to leave good childhood memories for this innocent and lovely little girl.Otherwise, he wouldn't have sold his soul for money at all...

For a moment, Grofell, who was impassioned and righteous, really looked like a "master".

Seeing Groffir's lack of cooperation, Sebas was stunned.He didn't believe that anyone would dare to show such a naughty gesture after knowing that he was facing the Earl of Campret.

And Riber was also stunned.

And such good things?

"Sebas, contact the Knights and arrest this guy."

He was still worried that he couldn't find a legitimate excuse to bring Grofell to the Knights for interrogation.

After all, the small probability does not mean that there is no chance. What if he is really a military adviser of a mysterious organization?

"Yes, sir."

"Ehhhh?"

This time, it was Groffier's turn to be stunned.

What's the situation, didn't you say that the Earl of Campret was generous, reasonable, approachable, and appreciative of talents?

Newspapers are full of lies?

Grofell would have been more normal if he had known that Riber was not good at this and that there would be no "interesting, you are a real master" scenario.

Ever since, in an instant, Grofell was like a tiger falling to the ground, kneeling on the ground.

"I'm so sorry! I was joking before, I'm going to redraw it right now!"

"..."

Riber and Sebastian looked at Groffir who was almost lying on the ground, and looked at each other.

...

...

in the afternoon.

Alice and Riber together act as models for the painting on the second floor.

Standing in front of the easel, Grofell trembled in his heart.He didn't know what was wrong, but he felt that... the defense level of this mansion was a bit high.

In the hall on the second floor, there were nearly ten people who looked energetic and energetic, and they were the elites of the knight order.Moreover, from time to time, two Pegasus horses can be seen from the window, with fierce faces.

In the hall, the only person Grofell felt was friendlier was a young lady sitting in a wheelchair, watching Alice, who was one of the models, constantly giggling.

Before starting, there was a question in front of Riber and Alice, that is what kind of posture the two should take.

According to aristocratic etiquette, Riber, who is an earl, should appear in the center of the painting in a sitting posture.And Alice, who was just a commoner, stood beside her like a servant.

But obviously, this is inappropriate.

Because, this is a birthday painting for Alice, and Riber is too overwhelming.

Then, the next plan is to stand side by side with Riber and Alice.

But when the two stood together, the height difference highlighted a ridiculous point, that is, Riber didn't hold Alice's hand, otherwise the picture would be more harmonious.

Because of this side-by-side composition, Riber was interested in joking.Next, he proposed one after another that she hug Alice and lift her up, let Alice sit on a shoulder car, and other actions that completely treat her like a child.After almost being scratched by Alice, he stopped joking.

Ever since, after tossing for a long time, it seems that only the last posture is left.

That was Alice sitting upright on the delicate seat, while Riber stood beside the seat.

"Master, this is really..."

Even Sebas, who doted on Alice on weekdays, couldn't help dissuading her.

"It's okay, people who really regard noble etiquette as everything will never have the chance to see this painting."

Riber waved his hand, and casually made a plausible reason, and insisted on letting Grofell start painting.

At the beginning, Grofell filled the paintbrush with paint, and sketched a few steps wantonly on the canvas.And Riber, who saw this scene, reminded him,

"If the paintings like yesterday appear again, you should be prepared to live in a heavy prison for the rest of your life."

Intimidated by Liber's expression of lowering his eyebrows, Groffir immediately stopped the movement of his hands in embarrassment, and began to sketch with the brush.

"If I remember correctly, it seemed that you spent five hours yesterday to make that painting? How long will it take you today?"

After not painting for a long time, Riber's voice sounded coldly.

Grofeel, whose body trembled slightly, said stammeringly,

"Large, probably needed, four, no, three..."

"half an hour?"

"Yes, half an hour!"

Wiping his sweat with the paper towel that was supposed to smear the canvas, Grofell said repeatedly.

Seeing that Groffir was probably already being honest today, Liber turned his attention to Alice in the seat beside him.

Although, it is now approaching late autumn and the weather is extremely cold.However, because the house was warm enough, Alice wore a white dress with bare arms that day, and a big bow hung on the upper body of the dress.

It is obviously a very simple style, but this dress fits Alice very well.

Sometimes Riber doesn't quite understand either.The same very simple style, why well-designed clothing is always better than casually designed clothing.

In the past, Alice, who was always very active, was sitting upright on the chair this day, but she showed a hard expression and remained motionless.

"Could it be, are you nervous?"

"Stop talking! When the time comes, what if he can't draw well due to disturbance!"

Alice said dissatisfied.

"Peel off his skin?"

"Shut up!"

On the other side, hearing Alice's scolding, Groffer's eyes filled with tears.

You know, when Riber spoke before, his whole body was shaking.

He is already regretting why he tried to be smart the day before and torment this smart and understanding little guy.

As for Riber, although he didn't know why Groffir suddenly seemed to be on fire, he started painting vigorously.But he certainly couldn't shut up as Alice said.

After a little deliberation and mental preparation, Riber spoke again,

"Sorry, Alice."

"Hey?"

Listening to Riber's serious tone, Alice could no longer maintain a straight sitting posture, and turned her head to look at Riber.

"No matter what the reason is, it was my fault to break the agreement between us. I hereby solemnly apologize to you. Can you forgive me? Alice."

Riber said again.

While talking, he also sighed.

Before he knew it, he had also become an "adult".

In retrospect, he had a similar experience as a child.

Speaking of which, it's actually not that big of a deal.
