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

"Although it is not completely certain, judging from the action trajectory of the deity before you entered the 'node of fate'. To escape from here, what you need to do is..."

...

At this most critical moment.

Riber, wake up.

...

...

East house, in Riber's room.

Riber, who suddenly opened his eyes, felt that most of his upper body was wet.

"...Did I say that? Even if it's Camprete, a bucket of water will definitely wake him up. I don't know what you are suspicious of."

It was a very familiar tone and voice, but Riber couldn't remember who it was for a while.

And this situation means... the owner of the voice must be Spacey!

Straightening up, Riber frowned and stared into the room.Then it was discovered that Spacey was indeed next to the bed, holding a bucket.And beside her was Ewenna, who had changed from her usual gloomy expression, and her face was full of anxiety, worry and nervousness.And, looking at Sebas who turned his head sideways as if looking at the scenery.

Spacey, who woke Riber up, proudly held the bucket with two fingers, raised it high and looked at Sebastian showing off.

She didn't even understand why Sebastian said the nonsense that throwing water on a sleeping person would not wake him up.

I don't understand how such a ignorant person became a housekeeper.

Until, after showing off to Sebastian, Spacey turned his head to meet Ribel's pair of purple eyes that were already vicious, but now even more vicious, as if they were about to swallow people alive...

She seemed to understand.

Fortunately, although Riber's lips squirmed slightly, it seemed that he was saying threatening words such as "you wait".But his anger did not come to Spacey in the end.

Because, after Ewenna said something, Riber's anger shifted.

"Lysa?"

"How dare she!"

Since the beginning of the long nightmare, Riber, who has always been unable to integrate into reality immediately after waking up, rarely has such symptoms this time.

Volume III: Chapter 260 IV, Night Parade

"Damn... Lysa is she crazy!"

Listening to Ewenna's description, Riber only felt that his head was about to explode.

In fact, Ewenna was not sure where Lysa had gone.

However, one must know that Lysa's usual not-so-intelligent appearance made it easy for her to confide in her heart, especially for a close person like Ewenna.

Therefore, Ewenna knew that although in front of Riber, Lysa had always looked lost and depressed.But in fact, she never gave up on the fourth daughter, Lily 99, whom she dragged into the Phantom Thieves without authorization.

At least, Lysa will never give up until she finds out Lily 99's true heart face to face.

The reason why Lysa didn't act before was because she didn't know where Lily 99 was.

At that time, even Riber, the commander-in-chief of their camp, only realized many things after the performance ended and the curtain really opened.I learned that I have always been used on the set chessboard before.

Moreover, after actually meeting Charlotte, it was only after confirming who the darkest behind-the-scenes man in this city was.

Therefore, Lysa, who has less information than Ribel and is not good at thinking, is naturally unable to deduce Lily 99's whereabouts by herself.

However, the problem is that Riber had a long talk with Ivana after the meeting with Charlotte.Then, what Ewenna knows, it can basically be assumed that Lysa will also know by default.

Ever since, it is now.

Lysa was gone.

Of course, it is also possible for this strange thief to take a full set of strange thief's luggage in the middle of the night, fully armed and go for a walk in the city or something.

But to count on this possibility can only show that Riber is really in a nightmare and was scolded by Antoinette for being stupid.

"I'm sorry, Riber... I, I didn't expect that Lysa would..."

If it was Ewenna in the past, she would never have imagined that the first time she called Ribel's name without any suffix would be in this situation.And even now, Ewenna, who was worried about Lysa, was completely unaware of this matter.

"..."

Riber, who was still dizzy, had a feeling that no one wanted to talk to him, but he still patiently comforted Ewenna,

"Don't panic just yet, it doesn't have to be the worst. I'm going to prevent it from happening."

Not to mention Ewenna, who would have thought that Lysa, who is usually soft and cowardly, would do such a bold act.

Not to mention the dragon's den and tiger's lair on the side of Charlotte's camp, even Lysa's fear of Ribel in the past prevented her from easily making trouble for Ribel.

It can only be said that without knowing it, Lily 99 already had a very important position in Lysa's heart.

Moreover, no matter how "degenerate" she is at ordinary times, at critical moments, Lysa can still transform into a strange thief who can stir up the situation in the entire kingdom.

Riber stood up, shook the water droplets from his hair, and glared at Spacey and Sebastian a few more times with a sullen face.

These two guys have really been this kind of virtue since the very beginning...

but.

Riber turned to look at his drenched bed.

At least, Sebastian should believe that in his young master's room, it really rains from time to time.

...

...

Riber looked at the time on his pocket watch and confirmed that it was approaching midnight.

This day has not passed yet.

In other words, although the time spent in the reincarnation in the nightmare will not be the same as reality, there is also a certain connection.Moreover, if someone wakes him up in reality, he can also escape from the nightmare.

Although there is a feeling of "it's up to now", this kind of situation that can easily escape the nightmare and reincarnation should prove once again that the ring itself does not contain any malice.

Also, can this matter be used?

Riber thought for a while, and then denied it.

Judging from the past situation, he spent more and more time in the nightmare.

So, if it takes too long, I want to bring him back to reality before he gets lost in the nightmare.Then, in reality, he might have to be woken up just as soon as he was lying on the pillow.

It's rare that Antoinette had a slight intention to cooperate, and he left suddenly or something...

Riber could already imagine that after returning to the nightmare, he was sprayed bloody by the silver singer who was in an even more unhappy mood.

After all, is he really awake?

Was it because he was still in a nightmare that he fell into such a bad situation when he woke up?

Pinch yourself?

Hmm... In that real nightmare, let alone the pain of being pinched, I also experienced the pain of being caught by a shark.

Riber felt that the current self really needed something like a spinning top that would spin infinitely in a dream.

...

Going through the corridor, the place Riber came to alone was Aegide's room.

Then, in Eguide's room, Riber met Moby, who was as bad as Antoinette, and who really knew how to do things.

However, seeing that Moby was still there, Riber heaved a sigh of relief.

"Moby, is there a way to contact Professor Aimo?"

Hearing Ribel's question, Moby didn't even bother to look at Ribel, not to say that he was sarcasm, saying something like "You ordered me?"

"Now, I'm not just a stupid brat just asking for your help. I have reached an agreement with Aimo, so I am now one of the sponsors of the Four Corners Society. This is an important matter related to the Society."

Riber said again with a suppressed voice.

There are probably only two ways to drive the censor of the Scourge Church.

One is Aegyd, and the other is the Four Corners Society.

And sure enough, even though she said something like "I'm a censor now, so learning has nothing to do with me", Moby cooperated with her book and opened a page in front of Riber.

Not long after, Riber saw that the ink on the originally empty pages began to condense without authorization, and finally formed a rather beautiful face autonomously.

Although Riber has never seen Aimo's face behind the veil, it can be confirmed now that this young face that still has a girlish look is exactly Aimo from the half-blood elf family.

"I'm sorry to disturb you late at night."

Facing the faces on the pages of the book, Riber was momentarily at a loss.But time was running out, so he could only bite the bullet and try to communicate with the other party.

And after hearing Riber's words, the painting on the paper moved again without authorization, showing Aimo's smiling face, and his lips moved slightly, as if saying something like "it doesn't matter" .

Facing this scene, Riber cast his eyes on Moby who was aside, and asked silently, "Do you think I can read lips?"

And Moby also frowned, looking at Riber unhappily, as if responding silently, "Why can't you even speak lips!"

In short, Moby waved his hand, as if by magic, Riber could hear Aymo's voice.

"The reason for bothering late at night is because I want to talk to Professor Aymo about the 'Night Parade'."

"Remember that 'Night Parade', which was designed to immediately increase customers' sense of identity after the unnamed restaurant changed its manager?"

Professor Aymo responded.

I don't know if it's because Aimo has become a "paper figure" now, Riber thinks she seems to be more attractive.

Of course, now is not the time to think about this, so Riber can only silently read Aimo's approximate age and continue to talk about the topic.

"Yes, we have been doing the warm-up part for several days. The only difference is that it will be held at an appropriate time."

Riber let out a sigh of relief.

"I think now is the most suitable time!"

"Oh?"

Aimo's expression showed a little cunning.

Perhaps because of hiding her face under the black veil all the year round, Aimo's management of expressions is not as calm and scheming as her style.

"Although it is said to be a 'night' parade, after all, it will not be held late at night, right? Moreover, even if there is a warm-up, the timing is too dangerous now. Temporary preparations will also reduce the scale of the parade. Restricted."

"This..."

Just when Riber was thinking about what excuses to find, words that surprised him came over,

"I agree with the Earl's proposal, and I will ask the members of the society to cooperate with the relevant personnel of the chamber of commerce."

"?"

When Riber showed a slightly surprised look, Aymo continued,

"Different from the negotiation, since we have already signed the contract, we are trading partners. Moreover, even if the part of the unnamed restaurant has been handed over, we are still related. After all, the Four Corners Society and the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce are really related to the Count. The reason for the transaction is to choose you."

Aimo said, and added a sentence that made Riber very disturbed,

"Moreover, the establishment of the 'Four Yao Foundation' will require the full assistance of the Earl in the future."

"..."

God, nothing really big is going to happen, is it?

Isn't it true that everyone he meets is a devil?

Riber panicked a little.

"Speaking of which, this nighttime parade should be an important step in the earl's original plan, right? Is it really okay to do it so suddenly?"

"no problem."

Riber said helplessly, with a bitter taste in his mouth.

Still planning... These big living people with "free" will can make a ghost when they run around by themselves.

So, how do those strategist characters manage to be exhaustive?

Is it that the characters in the plan and the possible actions are also budgeted in advance?

Ugh--
