Chapter 42 The Duke's Request
The door opened, and he was an eunuch who had never seen before.
"Spy Knight, please invite the Duke."
Poluo was stunned for a moment and realized that the "Spy Knight" was the second in commander's position in the Duke, or... the person sent to control the parody.
Poluo glanced behind the eunuch and asked casually:
"Why isn't the envoy here this time?"
"The envoy has something to do in his hometown, so please resign and return home."
The eunuch explained expressionlessly, and urged him again, "The Duke is still waiting, please be quicker!"
As he said that, he looked at the other two people in the room again:
"The Duke has given special instructions that your entourage will go together."
"Okay, I'm sorry, my friend, we need to prepare."
Only after the eunuch left did Poluo's expression return to calm.
He turned around and looked at Lake and Hans, and said:
"I think the envoy should have died. This time the Duke still invites us over. It may be the so-called 'reward', but it may also be the Hongmen Banquet."
"That special envoy... is dead?"
Hans put down the bottle of wine in his hand and asked in confusion.
"Ah, I guess."
Polu didn't say much, but Lake guessed how he knew.
【Circular Return: Lucky Hans·Lossing Luck】
【Complete progress of unsealing ceremony 5/6】
【Completed: whetstone, goose, pig, cow, horse】
[He smiled and handed me a knife, and I cut off my flesh and blood to fill the devil's appetite. Perhaps, in their eyes, a person like me, has seven years of life, is no different from an ant! 】
...
The Duke's Mansion is very big, with a banquet hall, exquisite walls and mahogany doors, and a golden armored guard standing expressionlessly.
Several people looked at each other, and Poluo walked forward and pushed open the wooden door.
An eunuch guided Po Luo and his men to sit under the long dining table and then retreated.
Above the head, a golden carved chandelier was hung high.
The golden red candlelight sways slowly, casting luxurious light and shadow.
The Duke sat at the top of the dining table.
At his hand was a gray-haired blue-red witch.
There were also many other retainers and confidants, who also sat silently on both sides, looking at the three people entering the door!
"Welcome back. The things on the parody are done well."
The Duke smiled and raised his hand. A guard next to him brought a plate with a lot of money on it.
"You accept these things. I will never treat those who are loyal to me unfairly."
The Duke said, glanced at Poluo meaningfully, and then said, "My envoy resigned to me last night. I feel very sad. Now I lack a man. I wonder what you think?"
"Thank you, Lord Duke. I will do my best to live up to my responsibilities!"
Poluo was stunned, but he had a plan, and he showed an extremely sincere gratitude on his face.
"Yeah."
The Duke nodded with satisfaction and finally moved his eyes to Lake beside Poluo.
The bright red cloak attracted the Duke's attention.
Magical equipment?
The Duke swallowed unconsciously.
I heard that the new queen of the kingdom possessed a magical artifact...
"Don't you introduce to me, are these two minions you brought?"
Poluo had a plan for this, and he introduced:
"A few months ago, these two people came to our counterfeit village to surrender. They killed people and massacred the entire village. They are experts. After they fell into the grass, I took them as their subordinates."
"Well, it's not bad, they are all talents!"
The Duke didn't look at Hans, but even if he looked, he wouldn't recognize him.
There were countless civilians who died at his hands, and there were countless hard laborers who were exploited.
Not to mention... Hans's not so good living habits made him look completely different from a few years ago! "Then... you don't have to go back to the parody after that, just stay in the mansion to do things."
The Duke said calmly.
"Thank you, Lord Duke!"
Poluo once again showed a gratitude.
"Then... your two subordinates don't have to follow you anymore. I will give them important tasks separately." The Duke continued.
"Ah?"
Poluo did not expect this, but the Duke did not notice his stunnedness, but stared at Lake and Hans, waiting for them to thank him.
However, in Lake Hans's view, the Duke's meaning is similar to "reward".
So they just stayed for a moment and said one after another:
"Thank you, Lord Duke."
The Duke picked up the red wine glass on the table, shook it slowly, raised it slightly to Poluo and the others, and then drank it all in one go.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
After preparation in advance, Poluo and his men also picked up the wine in front of them and gave a reply.
However, after drinking, the Duke raised his hand again.
An eunuch brought a plate again with several stacks of silver coins placed in it, placed alone in front of Lake.
"Duke, what's this... mean?"
Lake didn't pick up the plate, and she also understood that evil people like the Duke would never give money for no reason.
"The cloak on your body must be a magic item, right?"
The Duke was not angry, but instead showed concern, "You don't need such things when you do things here. If it's dirty, it's not good - of course, I don't have the will to spy on you, I just help you keep it."
"Sorry, Lord Duke."
When Lake heard this, he shook his head decisively and refused, "This cloak is given to me by my only relative, I can't give it to you!"
"What? I am a grand duke of a country, how could I beg for your property!?"
The duke's face suddenly pulled, "I don't care about my predecessors for a criminal like you, and I give you a high position! I just borrow my own view of your belongings, but I don't want to?"
In an instant, several guards around were unsheathed!
There are endless clanging sounds!
And beside him, Hans and Poluo also looked dark.
This time, the Duke's Mansion is too big and there are many innocent people, so... it is obviously not possible to take poisoning like a copycat!
Although there are proposals to take action in the meeting, that is just a choice!
It is not a rational idea to assassinate a grand duke in front of a country.
But sometimes, plans cannot keep up with changes!
"I don't want to!"
Lake stood up and pushed the plate in front of him to the ground, "A person like you will not even have the qualification to touch my cloak!"
"You——"
The Duke obviously did not expect that the girl in a cloak in front of him would dare to speak to him in the depths of the Duke's mansion, which was closely guarding!
For a moment, he was so angry that he shivered all over!
"Rareless!"
The Duke shouted loudly, raised his hand and pointed at Lake, "Come on! Give me this humble thing--"
The candlelight and golden light and shadow flashed in an uproar at the banquet, and the atmosphere of the whole audience suddenly solidified—
The silver bowls, plates, swords, reflect the anxiety and dizziness!
However, before the Duke's words ended, a harsh sound rang out from the top of his head, interrupting everyone's tense thoughts!
"Ka—Zika—"
Metal tearing noise!
Everyone present unexpectedly changed - something happened!
The huge chandeliers on the dome suddenly broke at the connection between the ceiling and the jumping fire, falling down!
The goal - it is the top of the Duke's head!
"Bang!!!"
With a loud bang, the huge and heavy golden chandelier hit the Duke's head!
In just a moment, the duke's fat head burst out like a watermelon!
Blood and white brain flowers instantly splattered onto the entire dining table!
The audience suddenly became quiet.
