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

...

...

The long piece of music is flowing in the hall.

The musicians, who are already extraordinary in their own right, are now concentrating all their energies, taking out what they have learned all their life, and playing the instruments in their hands seriously but attentively.

If this song is played well, it may not be appreciated by some big shots.However, if it is not played well, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Because, the person who is in the center of the dance floor at the moment is Count Campret.

Originally, there were nearly ten couples of men and women dancing on the dance floor.However, when Riber and the red-haired girl walked onto the dance floor, these people also withdrew tactfully.

As a result, there were only two lonely people left on the huge dance floor.

Regarding the dancing posture of Lord Earl, no one dared to comment or say much.

Generally speaking, it is enough that he is alive and he can move.

However, the passionate round dance of the red-haired girl in a long skirt almost dyed most of the dance floor in crimson, making the onlookers dazzled.

During this time, there were not many people with good intentions, and they quietly cast their eyes on the female companion brought to the banquet by the Earl.

Although, these people didn't see any disturbance from the face of this female companion.However, he was determined in his heart. After the banquet was over, there would definitely be a bloodbath between women in the earl's inner house.

Speaking of which, the wealthy and aristocrats who were somewhat familiar with the upper class of Greenwater did not recognize the red-haired woman and the earl's female companion at all.I don't know when there were two more beautiful girls in the city.

A chapter of music came to an end.

As the tune softened, the earl and the red-haired girl on the dance floor gradually approached, and gently pressed their bodies together.

The red-haired girl with a bright smile and the earl whose face was still icy met each other when the music came to an abrupt end.

The surrounding onlookers applauded at the right time.

But the next moment, the changes on the dance floor made these onlookers almost stop their hearts and lungs.

All of a sudden, Count Campret turned sideways and fell straight to the ground.

thump.

The earl's body collided heavily with the ground, and a pool of blood quickly spread across the center of the dance floor.

Some sharp-eyed people saw a silver dagger stuck in the chest of Earl Campret.

Snapped!

Along with the sound, smoke filled the hall and the lights suddenly disappeared.

The sound of commotion, the sound of screaming...

...

...

"Master Filner! This way!"

In the secret passage of Gold's mansion, a young man dressed as a waiter desperately waved his hand to guide the red-haired girl who was running towards him.

The red-haired girl named Filner had already shed the long fringes that were not suitable for movement, and was only wearing simple clothes that were convenient for movement.

Filner and the young man fled towards the outside of the mansion together in the secret passage, and on the way of fleeing, the young man seemed to be roaring, talking non-stop in excitement.

"As expected of Mr. Filner, I didn't expect that you could really kill that traitor with your own hands! In this way...in this way..."

"Can the ceremony go one step further?"

"That's right! As long as Campret, who has become a symbol, is killed, the city will surely fall into terror..."

The young man, who was still excited and said the words, suddenly changed his expression and stopped in his tracks.

Looking back at Filner who kept a certain distance from him, the young man tried to squeeze out a kind smile, but only made his expression look very ferocious.

"You... what are you talking about? Ceremony or something... Killing Campret is all for the great cause of the rebels, isn't it? After cleaning up the biggest traitor in Maybrain, Mr. Filner You only need to find a stronghold and shout, and you can easily gather enough to overthrow Xinmei..."

"Are you stupid? If it was that easy, Xinmei would have been divided into dozens of pieces."

Filner sighed, shook his head, and then shouted loudly,

"No way! Camprete. I'm not good at clichés, and this guy is disgusting. I don't want to breathe the same air as him!"

"What... what Camprete? Shouldn't Camprete have been..."

Hearing Filner's shout, the young man suddenly fell into chaos.

What made him even more confused was that there was a sound of footsteps in the depths of the secret passage.Then, following the sound of footsteps, there was a cold voice that almost made him faint from fright,

"You can try harder."

In the shadow of the secret passage, it was the Earl of Campret who should have fallen in a pool of blood, and...a group of elite knights and elite adventurers.

"You, you...you!"

When things got to this point, no matter how stupid this young man was, he knew that Filner and Earl Campret were accomplices.

Although, he still couldn't figure out why it happened like this.But in short, survival told him that he had to do something.

In the next moment, the young man flew straight at the red-haired girl Filner.He wanted to take this weak girl who seemed to have no strength as a hostage.

But just when the young man was about to reach Filner, he seemed to be ejected viciously by an invisible shield.The young man, who was flying all over, hit the wall next to him heavily, and suddenly spurted out a big mouthful of blood.

"Ugh... so dirty..."

Filner moved away in disgust, far away from the blood spewed out by the young man, then lifted the necklace on his chest, held a nearly transparent crystal pearl on the necklace in the palm of his right hand, and kissed gently. one time,

"So, you really don't understand anything."

The orb in Filner's hand is actually a powerful holy object called "The Orb of the Lonely King".Under the protection of this sacred object, those who have not been recognized cannot touch her.

Just like that, the young man who fell by the wall of the secret passage fell into the hands of the Knights without knowing anything.

...

...

Soon after, in the banquet venue.

The dozen or so criminals who were bound and thrown into the hall, who were about to take advantage of the banquet to do bad things, looked at each other with ashes in their hearts.

Seeing that the participants of the banquet were not very flustered, and the attendants and male and female companions brought by these participants were actually members of the knight order or adventurers, they naturally realized that they had bumped into the net of heaven and earth.

The incident started three days ago.

After the Knights had raised enough funds through donations, everyone including Riber and Erhard had a heated discussion about whether to hold a thank you banquet.

After roughly knowing the process and principle of the ceremony for the birth of a witch, the knights headed by Erhard and people from the church strongly opposed the opening of the banquet.

And even if the banquet is held, Riber must not be allowed to participate.

Because, after the hype in the newspapers, and Riber has actually done a lot of things for Greenwater City, his Lord Earl has also become an indispensable "symbol" for Greenwater City.It's just that it's the exact opposite of the serial killers who bring fear.

Therefore, let alone an accident in such a Riber, even a simple attack may cause waves and panic, allowing the mysterious organization to take advantage of it.

However, the start-up faction headed by Riber said that this banquet is actually an opportunity rather than a danger.

The reason why squares like the Knights often fall into passiveness is because the villains are always hidden in the dark and difficult to find.

Then, a fishing banquet to lure snakes out of their holes might turn their passivity into initiative.

Always waiting for the criminal to do something before making amends is really aggrieved.

Moreover, the plan is deceptively simple, even somewhat obvious.But both Riber and Chris believe that there is a high chance that the mysterious organization will do it.

Because, the mysterious organization has no time, and their leader is about to die.The second is that without the help of Wu Ye, it would be really difficult for them to do the act that shrouded the whole city in terror.In particular, there is the existence of Riber, the "guardian" who can reassure the public.

So, the banquet attended by Riber, who hardly appears in public.

With such a delicious bait, it is difficult for the mysterious organization not to be tempted.

Moreover, if everything such as the opening of the banquet and the participants are under the control of the Knights, Riber and others, it will be difficult to achieve any results from the mysterious organization's unplanned attack.

And even if the mysterious organization did not act, the Knights only lost some time and spent some manpower.It is completely acceptable category.

Moreover, the mysterious organization dare not even take a bite of such delicious bait, it will also be important information.

Therefore, under the insistence of Riber and others, the final "fishing" banquet was successfully held under multiple arrangements.

At first, everything went well.

With Riber's prestige, those rich and new nobles dare not cooperate.Therefore, long before the banquet started, the Knights had already locked in multiple suspicious characters.

And Riber also believes that everything will go according to his expectations.

Even if you can't catch big fish at the banquet, you can still catch some small ones, and further analyze the mysterious organization that tried to make the witch born.

Until, that red-haired girl appeared.

When he saw the red-haired girl, Riber was stunned.

Because, this person looked super familiar, his voice seemed familiar, and there was a faint light on his body that represented the original plot.

It is precisely because Riber saw so much that he agreed to dance with the red-haired girl.

During the dance, since the red-haired girl is very good at making noises while keeping her face still, outsiders may not notice it at all.In fact, she has been talking to Riber.No, it should be said to be one-sided complaining, berating, and playing tantrums.

And just when Riber was confused, the red-haired girl said another sentence.

"Find a way to escape from here, Camprete. In this banquet, many killers who want to assassinate and attack you have mixed in..."

Seeing the dignified expression of the red-haired girl, Riber didn't know what to say.

Um...

Thanks for caring?

Volume Two: Chapter 140, "The Princess"

Spacey Filner.

It's the name of a red-haired girl.

Of course, Spacey's full name is very long, it also has the word "May Blaine" in the middle, and it also has words like "La", which is even longer than Riber's full name.

Because, she was born in an out-and-out duke family.

Whoa, duke!

Since coming to Greenwater City, Riber, who has always felt that he is the highest-ranking person in the world, has encountered a more ruthless and harder stubble this time.

Fortunately, although Spacey is an old aristocrat, he did not become a "Duke" through the power of the God of Light.

Otherwise, Riber would definitely look even more at a loss when facing this girl with a legendary title.

What confuses him even more is that, if he's not mistaken, Spacey... seems to be the chef in his burnt mansion before.

It was not until after Spacey said the phrase "this guy is disgusting" in the secret passage in disgust that Riber recognized Spacey from this familiar JK-like tone.

It can't be blamed for Riber's slowness.In fact, apart from being unable to remember Western-style names, he is also somewhat blind to Western-style faces.Moreover, Spacey's changes are really too big.

From fashion to perm, wearing manicure, and eye shadow, the posture has changed to dignified and elegant, and there is no doubt that the style of the great aristocrat.

Riber felt that even if he didn't have any congenital deficiencies, it might be difficult to recognize them quickly.

I have to say, this is really ironic.

No matter how disguised they are, the three-person team of the Phantom Thieves can't escape Ribel's "sight of eyes".But Spacey, who has no disguise at all, can easily hide it from Riber.

All in all, leave the finishing work of this banquet to the Knights.

Riber took Spacey back to the mansion together.And, at her request, started a private conversation with her.

"So, should I call you Filner, or Duke Filner?"

Riber said so, but he actually felt quite rough in his heart.

Originally, I thought it was just an inexplicable chef who cheated and swindled in the mansion with a brilliance, but now he popped out and said that he was a duke...

Does he still have to salute Spacey or something?

"No, Camprete. I'm just a subjugated duke, and I'm not going to put on a show before the current count."

Spacey hugged her chest, sat cross-legged on the chair opposite Riber, tapped her shoulder impatiently with her fingers,

"It's better to say that even when May Brian was still around, your Campret family would not pay special respect to the mere duke."

It turned out to be the case.
