Chapter 62: Intentions

Although Xiwei and the city lord's wife did not officially turn their faces, he didn't expect his words to make the other party really regard the events of the morning as a coincidence.

As the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves.

Sivi himself is just a beginner mage with no power, and the only thing that is different from ordinary people in his hands is a magic academy system plus some things from dungeons. With these alone, it would definitely be an egg to fight with a behemoth like the lord's wife, not to mention that there was a middle-level mage next to him who was eyeing him......

At present, there are three paths in front of Sivi.

The first is to abandon the mission and leave Theo here. Maybe when Sivi becomes stronger with the magic academy system in the future, he will be able to come back to her, but judging from the lord's wife and the mage of the Green family, I'm afraid that if Tio is left here alone, she won't be able to survive for even three days.

However, this road is not passable because of the punishment mentioned by the system task or Xiwei's own conscience, so it passes.

The second is to use some roundabout means to completely defeat the lord's wife without a head-to-head confrontation!

The reason for this option is that Sivi learned the true cause of the lord of Noaig through the snooping worm.

But regardless of whether or not anyone believes the images and voices recorded by the Sivi Snooping Worm - there is no shortage of illusion-type magic that can create false images in this world - even if something like a snooping insect is exposed in front of ordinary mages, it will cause an uproar. This is the so-called guilt of conceiving their crimes.

Besides, even if anyone believed it, would they offend a lord's wife and a member of the Green family for the sake of their own beginner mage or their ethereal sense of justice?

Take 10,000 steps back, even if you really succeed in denigrating them, what if the investigation team sent by the noble court has not yet reached Horadur, and the lord's goods have already burped, and everything is dead without proof?

So this Lu Xiwei will not choose.

The third is to get the other party to approve that he took Tio away, and left with the little girl openly.

As incredible as it may seem, this path is actually the best thing Sivi can imagine at the moment.

Even if Theo was only an illegitimate daughter, if the lord had no other heirs, it would definitely be Theo who would inherit the title and the domain when he died. In this case, rather than secretly settling with Theo, after inheriting the title and fief, the lord's wife exercises the power of agency and uses Theo as a puppet to listen to the government. Even if he was afraid that Theo would regain power when he grew up, he would be fine if he took her into the air as soon as possible.

But they didn't act like that at all, as if they didn't need Theo at all.

Judging from the other party's eagerness to get rid of Theo, in addition to the fact that the lord's body is about to die, I am afraid that he also deliberately left a will that the lord's wife is afraid of.

The custody of the will should be the responsibility of the church, and the lord's wife's hand cannot reach into the real interior of the church - you must know that the heads of the district churches built in Horadour are not like the small churches of Biketown, they are true devout monks, proficient in light and divine magic, and it is absolutely impossible for money and power alone to erode them.

In other words, as long as the lord returns to the west, then Theo will be safe.

But as I said before, although I can evade the other party's conspiracy through the snooping worm once or twice, there will always be some omissions as the days go by, and if the plot is really successful, then Xiwei and they will be really dangerous.

So to sum up, as long as Theo declares that he will not inherit the lord's title and property, the other party's actions should also stop. …,

But before that, they must make the other party think that Tio may really be able to survive until the lord dies, otherwise the dead will definitely be safer in their opinion. There is no other way to create this feeling than to dodge the other party's sneak attack as beautifully as possible, or even to salute them like this morning.

In other words, Sivi must continue to stay here for a while, and then crack it in the most beautiful way according to the opponent's moves, until the other party starts to get restless, and then let Theo declare that he does not want to inherit the title and leave with Sivi.

As for the [Girl's Homecoming] quest...... Whatever, there's no time limit written on it anyway, so can't you find it slowly......

Sivi had also confirmed with Theo before, and the little girl didn't seem to be interested in the title or anything.

In this way, it caused Sivi and his party to feel like idlers eating and drinking in the castle.

Because the city lord is sick, many affairs are currently handled by the city lord's wife.

Probably due to the incident in the morning, the city lord's wife didn't seem to want to deal with Xiwei and them at all, and not long after breakfast, after a few words of greeting without smiling, she left Xiwei and them and went to the study to work aloneβ€”but she also had the snooping worm secretly released by Xiwei on her.

The bored Sivi first sorted out the stakes of the current situation, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he asked the butler to make some pebbles and make black and white chess pieces, and taught the equally boring Alyssa and Theo how to play backgammon (this thing doesn't know how to play Go...... After that, I watched the two little girls play against each other.

But after all, it's not chess or anything like that, and it's obviously not as interesting to watch others play backgammon as it is to play it yourself, and after a while, Sivi became interested again.

"Oh? Did that Green actually subscribe to Goddess Pravda! Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Sivi found a stack of newspapers under the coffee table.

The general level of technology in this world is probably still in the Middle Ages, but many things related to magic already have extremely modern techniques.

It's a pity that the application cost of many magic techniques is too large, and it is impossible to popularize them on a large scale, and only nobles or magicians can consume these things.

You must know that even if the Goddess Pravda is written and sold by the Qiyao Mage Association in the hands of Xi Wei, each issue of the Goddess Pravda, which is less than ten pages, costs as much as three silver coins, and even in a metropolis like Horadur, a good meal in an ordinary hotel costs less than one silver coin, which shows how difficult it is to popularize the products of magic technology.

However, unlike the newspapers in Xiwei's impression, the pictures on the Goddess Pravda are all dynamic, and in addition to the latest news in the wizarding world, some magic spells or ancient magic patterns are occasionally announced on it, which can indeed be regarded as a good thing for many magicians, especially the traveling mages.

It's no wonder that many down-and-out mages order this even if they don't eat, even if Sivi's predecessor had ordered it for a while when he wasn't so shy on hand.

By the way, the headline in this issue of Sivi's hand now is "Kling Magician's Research Experience-'I Can Control My Body Hair Growth!'" ’》

β€œβ€¦β€¦ How boring do you have to be to study the magic that controls body hair growth? Sivi raised an eyebrow and looked speechlessly at the picture of the magician with his upper body naked and growing his chest hair into a heart shape.

The elves of the Wild Heart Sect of the Goddess Sect who believe in nature and art have long been able to turn themselves into beasts, and the human beings have only developed the magic to control body hair after so many years of accumulation, which is the sadness of human mages who cannot learn indigenous magic......

After a cursory glance at the controversy within the Mages Guild over whether this magic should be arcane or earth-elemental, Sivi flipped to the second page of Pravda.

At this time, there was an aggressive knock at the door.

Sivi looked up and saw that it was the man in the butler's costume who politely knocked on the open door, and only walked into the living room when Sivi looked at him, holding a card that seemed to be extremely beautiful in both hands: "Master Elric, here is an invitation card for you." ”

"Yes, thank you."

Sivi casually took the card and found that it read, 'Thank you so much for your kindness to me, please come to my luncheon.' ’

The inscription below is 'Sasansan Taugtaug'.

"It's that goblin...... "The fat face full of flesh immediately appeared in Xiwei's mind, "It seems that it's good to change the mood." ”

β˜… It has nothing to do with the body

Thank you for the humorous melody and the reward of Bailian~

In addition, although I am also very grateful to the readers~Fenghua~Xueyue~ for their expectations for us...... But so many reminder tickets can't be eaten at all (tears.)
