Chapter 154 Expansion (Tucao is back)
The commotion of the dinner party came to an end.
But it doesn't end there.
The king had issued an order that no one present at the time should be allowed to reveal the matter.
As for the breakup of the engagement at the dinner party, it was announced to the public that it was the result of the duke's eldest son being obsessed with cheating and not repenting. Angela was also portrayed as the kind of green tea bitch who would do anything to get the upper hand (in fact, it was almost the same). Of course, it was announced to the public What happened was that both men were imprisoned.
Well, in fact, the Duke's eldest son was indeed imprisoned. If it weren't for his own son, the Duke would have wanted to kill this idiot directly. I heard that this idiot remained stubborn after that, insisting that he and Angela were in true love, and said that although Angela was a succubus, everything she did could be forgiven... To be honest Yes, if it were Duanmu Huai, I would have killed this idiot directly.
Keeping it is also a disaster.
Not only that, after that, how to deal with the devil was also put on the agenda.
Why had Angela not been discovered before? The reason is that she sneaked into the magic academy, and in a place where the magic power is greatly expanded, a little bit of magic energy can easily be covered up. Even if someone senses something is wrong, they will only think that it is the aura coming from the magic book in the library, and will not think it is a monster.
But now this problem must be solved. As for what to do... His Majesty the King seems to intend to make a decision after contacting the Holy City.
Of course, Duanmu Huai doesn't care about political matters at all. He is only responsible for chasing aliens, heretics and demons.
So he quickly made a decision.
That is to go to the place in the west that the succubus mentioned, and then investigate what happened.
As for whether Fafna has been completely resurrected, Duanmuhuai is not worried about this issue. With Fafna's strength, if it is really resurrected, it will definitely kill it with great force. There is no need to use this method to weaken the opponent. strength. And according to the records at the Magic Academy, Angela is a freshman who just enrolled this year. Even if her plan goes well, it will take at least two or three years to make the entire Manalia fall apart. situation.
Therefore, Duanmuhuai can be sure that even if the current Fafna is resurrected, it is just a show, and it does not have the strength to deal with the Kingdom of Manalia at all. Otherwise, it will not use this method to weaken Manalia in advance. national power.
Therefore, Duanmuhuai planned to go to the west to see what was going on there.
And traveling with him were still Ogis, Ann, Gulea and Lorena—and Saharil.
Yes, this angel also wanted to go together. Obviously, as an angel, she could not turn a blind eye while watching the devil tyrannizing on the ground.
But if you want to talk about Duanmu Huai, it’s…………
"Finally, we have grown up. This world..."
Yes, although this is a troublesome matter for the Kingdom of Manalia, for Duanmu Huai, this is proof that the fragments of this world are growing.
Of course, according to the setting in the game, when a world fragment breaks away from the cycle and starts to grow, it will act like a magnet, attracting other world fragments towards it. Just like how heaven and angels appeared after Duanmuhuai solved the demon summoning incident in the Holy City, the same situation is happening in Manalia now. Since the three areas of Manalia, Regnis and the Holy City have been pieced together by Duanmuhuai, their "magnetic power" is now becoming larger and larger, and they will naturally attract other world fragments to come here. "Convergence".
Putting it in the game is equivalent to a DLC, which expands new events and new maps.
As long as you repeat this, you can successfully expand the fragments of this world into a planet, and even continue to expand into a galaxy and a universe...
This mode is very popular with some lone wolf players who like to play stand-alone games. In fact, many people are actually unwilling to interact with strangers in the online world. Not to mention that the more players there are, the lower the overall quality will be. There will also be a lot of disputes and scoldings in the random book. Therefore, some players are extremely disgusted with this kind of team copy, and prefer to immerse themselves in the fragments of the world. Do single-player tasks.
Duanmuhuai remembers that the strongest player in the game owns a world fragment that is approximately equal to one-fifth of the Milky Way. And that player has almost never appeared in any place where players gather, which can be regarded as the ultimate social fear player...
"I never expected that something like this would happen."
After returning to his mansion, An angrily found Duanmuhuai and began to grumble and complain.
"Those idiots! It's simply unacceptable that they can do such a thing!"
"Speaking of which, what will happen to Miss Audrey?"
Gu Leya also asked in confusion. Upon hearing Gu Leya's question, An reached out her hands to hold her head in distress.
"I don't know either...but after this incident, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for Miss Audrey to get married. Although it's not her fault, but..."
Having said this, An sighed helplessly and sat down on the chair.
"Although I don't want to say this, maybe Audrey herself is also responsible."
"What? A slap can't make a sound?" Duanmuhuai took a sip of tea and looked at An curiously, who shook his head helplessly.
"Political marriage is like this. How can I put it? Audrey may be a good wife, but she will not be a good partner... In fact, in the college, even when Angela did not appear, I did not see her. How close you are to Alder..."
That's what political marriage is like.
An spread her hands helplessly, and Duanmuhuai finally understood what she meant.
To put it simply, although Odile accepted her fate of marrying the Duke, to her, this marriage was like a "job", so there was not much personal relationship between her and Alder. The emotion is in it. According to An, Audrey was indeed studying hard and wanted to play her role as the wife of the future duke, but that was it. At least in An's view, the two parties did not seem to have any particularly close contact or interaction.
Under such circumstances, it is not completely incomprehensible that Alder would be deceived by Angela's rhetoric and then board her pirate ship with all his heart. After all, men are often emotional beings. If they obviously want to marry a woman who doesn't love them and who they don't love, I'm afraid not everyone is willing to do so.
In fact, according to what An later learned from the Duke, Yarde did have his own "life plan". He believed that his own happiness should be controlled by himself. In Yarde's view, this kind of incompatibility among the nobles Marriage based on feelings and only interests has long been outdated, so he hopes to change this system. That's why he concealed his father and openly broke the engagement at the engagement dinner. In Alder's view, he was declaring war on the outdated customs of the old world... He even thought that he would lead the common people in the future to overthrow the current system to create a brand new world where everyone is equal and free...
Well, I have to say, what a beautiful thought.
It's a pity that reality does not follow his dream.
But no matter what, now that something like this has happened, Audrey's marriage is completely over. Even if she is not at fault, this is still a stain on her.
This is similar to superstitions such as "Cuff", and few nobles dare to propose marriage to Miss Audrey. What's more, as the daughter of an earl, Miss Audrey must find someone with a similar status. Unfortunately, the heirs of nobles with similar status to her are basically the same idiots who stood up to accuse Audrey at the dinner party.
So...the future of this noble lady seems to be bleak at present.
"You need to worry about all this. You are so unlucky."
Looking at An lying on the table, Duanmuhuai shook his head helplessly, and the latter also grabbed Duanmuhuai.
"What can I do? I'm a princess. I don't care who cares about this. Oh...that's right!"
However, at this moment, An stared at Duanmuhuai, suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and when he noticed An's gaze, Duanmuhuai raised his eyebrows.
"I advise you not to take your chances on me."
"Hey? Isn't this great? Mr. Knight's status is high enough, and even if he can't become his wife, he can still be a concubine? I don't mind!"
"But I mind!"
Duanmuhuai reached out his hand and flicked An's forehead.
"I agreed to your engagement at the beginning because I have a good impression of you two, but I'm sorry, I won't get together with a woman I don't know for no reason. You have to use me as a tool. There is a limit. Solve your own problems. Don’t always ask me to help you solve these troubles.”
Duanmu Huai didn't like to get entangled in the conflicts between these women. What he hated watching the most were those idiotic emotional TV series at eight o'clock. Duanmu Huai had watched it with her mother before. Although her mother watched it with gusto, Duanmu Huai only felt her anger rising after watching it. Both men and women in those emotional dramas were idiots, and every decision they made was ridiculous. Drug addicts are as irrational as ever, crying about love at every turn... Duanmuhuai even suspected that half of the female hypertensive patients probably watched TV series.
Duanmu Huai has never had a girlfriend. On the one hand, it is because no one dares to approach him because of his fierce appearance. On the other hand, those urban emotional TV series also played a big role. When he thinks that he may fall into that kind of stupidity that is like a retarded love, In life, Duanmu Huai has no interest in love and marriage at all.
"Woo......"
An covered his forehead and stuck out his tongue at Duanmuhuai, but said nothing more.
"Your Highness."
At this moment, a maid came in and bowed respectfully to everyone.
"Count Harsha and his daughter, Miss Audrey, request an audience."
"………………"
After hearing the maid's report, Duanmuhuai and An looked at each other.
This really means Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
