Chapter 260 Accusation III
Fifteen minutes later
Futaba has stopped her narration and is now nibbling on a mini water balloon floating in front of her. While moistening his throat, he looked around at the beings standing at the highest level of the Violet Empire's power pyramid, and the playful smile rose again at the corner of his mouth.
The oppressive silence did not last long. Except for Duke Buffy Marshall, who looked gloomy and uncertain, and Emperor Clairvaux, who had his eyes closed and didn’t know what he was thinking, the other six lords quickly whispered. They started to communicate. Grand Duke Crystal Wolf and Grand Duke Baroka were discussing something very fast. Archduke Fernand stretched his neck to listen. From time to time, he added a word or two in a low voice. Hou was highly active throughout the process. Archduke Sein was asking Archduke Dantès about his attitude. Archduke Simon produced a quill from somewhere and was writing something on the back of the parchment Futaba gave him. He looked at Clairvaux frequently. However, the latter did not open his eyes, and only his furrowed brows proved that he was not dozing off or dozing off.
After a while, Futaba yawned a little boredly, and then lazily walked back to his seat along the previous route and sat down. At the same time, the others were also in perfect agreement. The ground stopped talking, and the Zijiu Hall became quiet again.
"Hey~" Futaba stretched her body softly like a lazy kitten, raised her index finger to her lips and smiled: "Why am I so proud?"
Sitting there Archduke Fernando on her left half-forced himself to laugh twice, and then stopped abruptly when he realized that no one was in agreement. He squeezed closer to the inside of his chair in panic.
The Grand Duke of the Crystal Wolf leaned slightly and turned to look at Futaba, and asked softly: "Did you survive the pursuit of that Bannerclaw!?"
"Still? I have another companion." Futaba winked at the former and nodded with a smile: "Of course we all survived just because of luck. Leaving aside that guy, anyway, I understood how weak I was, so I worked hard to improve my strength after that, and now I finally got through~"
Emilyen's face turned slightly red. After a moment, he asked curiously: "You have survived? How strong is your strength now?"
"The most awesome junior mage in the city." Futaba replied seriously.
Emmeline couldn't help but laugh, shook her head and said: "You are not getting ahead."
Archduke Simon couldn't help but frowned: "Duke Christo , I think this occasion is not suitable for chatting.”
“What are you doing! You were whispering to each other and I didn’t say anything. Now you just watch me and Sister Emmeline chatting about home affairs. Aren’t you going to go down?” Shuangye stared at Xi. Grand Duke Meng glanced at him, then turned back and smiled at Emmeline, who was a little embarrassed: "I've gotten ahead of myself, haven't I become the most awesome and awesome junior mage in the city? I've become famous in the Mage Guild all of a sudden. , and then There was a little old lady who came to me and said she wanted to be my mentor, tsk tsk, and then I have a backer~"
[It turns out that her so-called getting ahead has nothing to do with strength...]
Emmeline nodded, then gave Archduke Simon an apologetic look, and asked Futaba not very eagerly: "Who is it?"
She planned to end this family affair as soon as possible ', after all, it would be too stupid to offend Archduke Simon just because he was chatting with a girl he really likes.
The result...
"She said her name is Anatarasha." Futaba curled her lips, folded her arms and muttered: "That was a big tone, but I asked I know she is just a great mage. To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that her vice-president badge didn’t look fake, I wouldn’t want to talk to that guy.”
“Oh, that’s good. "Emmeline replied in a very perfunctory manner, and then her eyes suddenly widened: "Wait, you said it's Anatalasha!"
The people around him also showed incredulous expressions, and even Clairvaux opened his eyes.
"Yes, what's the matter?" Futaba seemed to be startled by everyone's reaction, and asked quickly: "Is he a particularly famous liar?"
Emmeline shook her head stiffly He shook his head: "Of course not..."
"The vice-president of the Salamun Magician Union, Master Anatarasha, although her title is only Grand Magister, but..."
Grand Duke Fernan swallowed hard and showed a dry smile to Futaba: "But she is The great mage of the six elements of fire, frost, arcane, thunder, light, and space.”
Futaba blinked cutely: "Then, is it very strong?"
"Miss Futaba, you are a mage yourself, so you shouldn't be unclear about the concept of the six-series great mage, right?" Deng Grand Duke Tis shrugged and spread his hands and said: "Even those of us who have not come to Salamoen once in a few years have heard of Vice President Ana's name."
"But If I remember correctly, Master Ana does not look like a little old lady, she looks like she is in her twenties." Grand Duke Baroka cast his doubtful eyes on Futaba and touched her thoughtfully. Touching his stubble-covered chin: "Are you really deceived?"
Futaba shook her head: "She does look like she is in her twenties."
"Huh?" Baroka was taken aback and said hesitantly: "Didn't you just say..."
"But this doesn't conflict with the fact that she is a little old lady, right?" Futaba rolled her eyes and hummed: "She told me herself that she is over ninety. Isn't it true that a human being is over ninety? Old lady? Really, something went wrong in the experiment and ended up keeping you young forever. It's so foul, too much, and too unfair. It's magic! I'm so envious..."
Baroka was stunned for a moment, and then asked anxiously: "So she is really willing to be your mentor?"
< br>"Ahem, I reluctantly agreed to let her be my mentor, Grand Duke Baroka." Futaba corrected her seriously.
Scorpius Hussein snorted: "Is that what you said? Although Master Ana is the vice president of the Imperial Magician Union, she rarely appears in front of outsiders. Even We lords have basically never met her, how can you prove that she is your mentor?"
"How to prove..."
Futaba smacked her lips in distress, and then clapped her hands fiercely: "Ah! I remember, Tarasha told me that Grand Duke Baroka confessed to her more than ten years ago!!"
“Oh, what a wasteland Ridiculous, this kind of... eh? Grand Duke Baroka?"
Hussein was halfway through his words when he noticed that Vernon Baroka, who was sitting diagonally across from him, was slowly blushing. , was winking at Futaba.
The latter seemed not to have seen it at all, and still said to himself: "Talasha also told me that she replied to Grand Duke Baroka with five words without saying a word..."
"Isn't this nothing?" Grand Duke Crystal Wolf's spirit of gossip seemed to be burning brightly. Even Archduke Fernand and Grand Duke Dantès looked over with interest. Baroka blushed and waved his hands to Futaba: "Stop talking, stop talking, I believe you, and I am willing to bear the burden of my personality for you..."
“Go home and play with your eggs.”
Futaba solemnly repeated Anatarasha’s answer to Grand Duke Baroka twelve years ago, and then blinked and looked towards Vernon Baroka, who was separated from him by a chair (there was also Archduke Fernando on the chair): "What did you just say?"
The latter drooped his head dejectedly: "Nothing... … "
" Oh, omitor, omit, 噗 噗 ~ "Lying on the table and laughed at the trembling crystal wolf. : "Okay, okay, Sister Futaba, I think everyone should be clear about what you mean. Let's stop the topic about Master Ana~"
The latter glanced at Buffy Marshall, whose face became increasingly gloomy, and smiled meaningfully: "It seems that's what happened."
What she meant was very simple, and everyone here could understand it. Guess...
The reason why Futaba deliberately mentioned that his current mentor is Anatarasha, the vice-president of the Salamoon Masters Union, is simply to make Grand Duke Baroka want to dig a hole. Bury yourself in it...
It must be wrong to think so.
Her purpose is to sound a warning to these people here, so that those who may have ulterior motives will not dare to touch her casually.
Of course, these grand dukes are not really unworthy of Tarasha, but Futaba has still very successfully increased the cost of others hurting themselves. After all, the girl has already revealed her identity to everyone in her previous detailed narrative. , apart from her status as the senior advisor of the Fire Claw Territory, she is just a low-level mage with no qualifications, no background, no title, and no background. A month ago, she was just a low-level mage in the Marshall Autonomous Army~
Even if This is the royal capital of the Violet Empire, and there are many ways for a big noble to kill her without leaving a trace...
Maybe in the next sensitive period, no one will dare to touch Futaba, maybe Fire Claw The Grand Duke's aura can also surround her. Perhaps now that she not only has the evidence, but has also become a witness herself, she doesn't need to worry too much about this kind of thing, but the situation is always relative.
The more feared you are, the more valuable you are to be killed. Futaba knows this very well, so she has to add a few more layers of insurance for herself, blindly relying on the certain conveniences of the player identity and Cassie's Protection is not enough.
Since the famous Master Ana happened to come to the door, and he really said that he wanted to protect him, it would be a shameful waste not to show off and show off.
Of course, it's not entirely true that someone just happened to find him. There are still many elements that Futaba deliberately promoted, but I won't go into details about such innocuous details here.
In short, after making sure that everyone understood the spirit and had an online IQ, Futaba sat obediently in her seat and stopped talking.
Although no one present at this moment would think she was 'well-behaved'.
"Buffy." Emperor Clairvaux glanced at the Archduke Marshall and said softly: "You can express your opinion now."
"Okay, Your Majesty."
Buffy Marshall stood up, bowed to Clairvaux, then looked around at the people who were focusing their eyes on him, and finally met Futaba's eyes. He exhaled softly, and then unexpectedly revealed A relaxed smile: "First of all, I want to apologize to you for my previous attitude. Miss Futaba, if what you just said is true, then you who are standing here at this moment can definitely afford it." The word "Hero"
The faces of Grand Duke Crystal Wolf and Grand Duke Baroka were full of disbelief, and no one else, including Futaba, showed any obvious emotions.
"Heroes, no, only dead people are called heroes. And even if I am wiped on the neck one day, there is absolutely no way I can have anything to do with these two stressful words." Sitting Futaba, who was directly opposite Buffy Marshall, shook his head noncommittally, spread his hands and said: "So please start your defense as soon as possible."
The Grand Duke Marshall nodded, he pondered for a few seconds, and then He spoke slowly with a solemn expression: "I smell a conspiracy, a huge conspiracy involving many, a huge conspiracy that involves me, Grand Duke Fireclaw, Grand Duke Scorpius and even the entire empire."< br>
"There is no doubt that this matter is related to you." Grand Duke Baroka narrowed his eyes, then slapped the parchment in front of him with a heavy palm, and shouted in a low tone: "The key is that you are in this so-called What role did it play in the conspiracy?”
Archduke Hussein frowned: "Calm down, Vernon, obviously Buffy hasn't finished speaking yet."
"And your character, Scorpius." Vernon Barokawai He raised his head and glanced at him. Those dark blue eyes flashed with cold anger: "I just hope that your humanity is not so bad that you are not so bad, like fishing for those blood-stained gold coins or something."
Dong dong dong~
Archduke Simon knocked on the table hard and shook his head at Archduke Baroka: "I also ask you to be quiet for a while, Vernon."
"It doesn't matter, each of us knows each other's character very well, Vernon just said what he wanted to say." Marshall smiled at Archduke Baroka and said with a smile, "You should know that Beneclaw has been working for the Marshall family for a long time, right?" br>
The latter snorted: "Of course, and I also know that his reputation is not good."
"People always have shortcomings of one kind or another." Buffy Marshall sighed, and then said with a wry smile. : "But I seem to be too tolerant of that guy. In fact, I'm afraid there is one thing that you don't know yet. Beneclaw, who was originally under my command, broke away from the Marshall family two months ago and took it away. He bought several pieces of my private collection without even saying hello~"
Everyone looked thoughtful, and Grand Duke Baroka even choked up at that time. After a long time The meeting person calmed down and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Literally." A hint of gloom flashed in Archduke Marshall's eyes, and his tone gradually became lower: "Actually, I just thought that He is tired of living a life of seclusion, or he is dissatisfied with me, a stingy employer, and plans to return to the life of licking blood, but..."
Futaba looked at it coldly He: "But after listening to what I said, you suddenly realized that maybe the class is not that simple?"
"Yes."
"You fart."
