The Magic Thief Chapter 16:

The terrible storm was like it had come suddenly, and then suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The death of the Paladin Monstock was just an important topic in small talk for most people, and it was quickly forgotten by people.

The peace of the past was quickly restored in the capital, and new and more interesting topics replaced the news of the death of the old paladin leader. Among them, the most interesting was the establishment of the fair.

This is a thing that interests everyone in the capital, especially the merchants.

They had heard about this news as early as half a month ago. If it hadn't been for the sudden turmoil that interrupted the formation of the fair, the fair had already been established at the beginning of the month.

Although businessmen are inevitably a little timid and afraid of the Legal Affairs Department and the Ombudsman that host the fair, they are still not very confident, but because of rumors, the formation of the fair originally came from the suggestion of the small heir to Surthburg. For the merchants, the proposal of the little earl was almost equivalent to inexhaustible wealth.

The horse racing event that turned into a terrible disaster, and the endless stream of exquisite glassware shipped from the south, all prove how good at managing this little heir of Sorthborough, almost every businessman believes As long as the young earl’s advice is made, he can definitely make amazing profits.

In fact, everyone in the Legal Department and the Ombudsman did not expect that the young earl’s appeal was so strong that the businessmen flocked to the fair just after the fair opened. The two Marquis-sirs, Er and Mag, were excited for several days.

Prosperity and peace quickly returned to this huge city, and people gradually returned to their old lives.

Ribo is the same, but he finds it incomprehensible for Her Majesty the Queen to suddenly alienate him. The Queen, who diligently tried to win him over, asked him to move away from the seat of His Majesty Francis VI for a long time. In childhood and youth, the castle where he was taught by the Great Sorcerer Kai Mildit was even removed from the guards of the Legal Department that had guarded the outside of the mansion.

The series of abnormal changes made by Her Majesty Queen not only puzzled Ribo, but also Eckert couldn't guess why.

Could it be that the court has a new view of the heirs of Surthburg? Is anyone planning to set off a huge storm against Sarthburg again? In order to confirm this matter, Eckert ordered the little thieves to look around, but the information obtained was obviously very powerful for them.

Whether it is aristocrat or common people, no one intends to get along with the heirs of Searthburg and Searthburg, because in their opinion these southerners are no different from a pile of yellow, orange and orange gold coins. Who wants to Can't live with gold coins? Because of this, Eckert felt even more headache, which was beyond his ability to reason and judge, and he couldn't ignore all of this.

Unlike Eckert, Ribo doesn't have that much trouble, and being able to return to Randy, Frila, Fanny, and Justine makes him quite satisfied.

If there is something that makes him feel unhappy, it is that there are two more unbearable lunatics in the mansion, one is the lunatic Pete, and the other is the Dumiliet.

Just like now, there was a deafening stomping on the floor that made everyone in the villa unbearable.

Ribo sighed deeply. He put down the experiment in his hand. This experiment requires absolute silence and concentration. Obviously now is not the right time.

He walked out of the study, and took out the key from his pocket to lock the door of the study tightly. Since the Mr. Doumilier came here, he had to do this, that gentleman really has too much Curiosity.

Following the deafening sound, Riber came to the hall. The Mr. Dumiliet was standing in the middle of the hall dancing and dancing strange dances. In Riber’s opinion, this kind of dance has no sense of beauty at all. It’s almost impossible to get through the floor. Except for pedaling **** the floor, it’s meaningless twitching of limbs. It looks like a dying toad, coupled with Mr. Dumiliet’s slightly swollen body. , And the big belly protruding from aging and obesity, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a toad.

However, Ribo didn’t intend to express his opinion, because he saw Justine stomping on the floor like Mr. Dumiriet. Obviously she appreciates this way of dancing, and Fen The reason why Ni stood quietly on the side may only be because of her reserved character. Even Miss Randy stood aside with a smile on her face and watched enthusiastically.

Ribo had to admit that Mr. Dumiliet's popularity is indeed quite good, except for himself and Eckert, it seems that everyone likes him very much.

"What are they doing?" Ribo asked in a soft voice, Miss Randy who was standing aside.

"Oh, Ribo, I'm sorry, did it make you noisy and interrupted your research?" Miss Randy said deeply sorry.

Looking at Miss Randy's expression, even a trace of dissatisfaction in Ribo's heart turned into a plume of smoke.

"I'm just showing them what Thor dance is like." Mr. Dumiliet stopped going mad and gasped. Obviously this kind of dance is not suitable for his age. Old bones.

Ribo is absolutely interested in the customs of the Thor people, but he is also absolutely certain that the dance of the Thor people is not the way Mr. Dumiliet dances, because it is too ugly.

"Mr. Du Milière, why don't you sit down and talk about your adventures when you were young?" Ribo quickly used topics of interest to divert the dance that made his ears unbearable.

"Oh! Yes, I have a lot of stories to tell. When I was young, I went to many places, lived in Thor for five years, lived in Xibai for three years, and also Yilei and Delizhi. I've also been to Engel. It was a terrible winter. I've been to Essell. It's the opposite of Engel. It's hot enough to fry eggs on the floor. I've also been to Nova, Denmore, Luxiping. The northernmost place I've ever been to is Bidebo in Woluosi. You can never imagine that it is a place where you can only see the green color for only four months of the year, and you have to wear a thick padded jacket even in summer." Du Mr. Milière talked immediately.

Ribo knew that this crazy old man was an adventurer no less than Mr. Hyde, and he was really interested in his experience.

"You will completely forget the time when you tell a story. It's best to prepare first so that you don't get in a hurry." Justine interrupted.

"Prepare? What to prepare?" Ribo felt a little confused.

"Forgot to tell you that the Duke of Auburn sent an invitation just now. He invited Thor's Royal Dance Company to perform at Franck. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Miss Randy said with a smile.

Ribo looked at Miss Randy, and at her apologetic smile, he naturally understood that Mr. Dumiliet must have accepted the invitation on his own initiative.

"You know very well that I have always been interested in foreign cultures." Ribo smiled and asked: "How many seats has the Duke of Auburn prepared for us?"

"Two boxes, you can bring all your female companions, Pete can be with me, but I'm not sure that Mr. Eckert is interested in dancing." Mr. Dumiliet said on his own accord, apparently He has excluded Eckert.

"Where is Freila?" Ribo noticed that there was an important person missing in the hall. Mr. Dumiliet seemed to be not getting along well with most of Mr. Hyde’s men, but Freila definitely Is the exception.

"Miss Freila is preparing clothes for everyone." Miss Randy said.

"I hope she will not use the efficiency of her own dressing and dressing to prepare clothes for us. It will be a long-running big project." The old man shrugged and said.

"Mr. Dumiliet, sometimes my efficiency is quite high." With the clear and sweet voice, Freira walked into the hall, and behind her the maids followed her with their clothes. .

Ribo saw at a glance that the clothes were specially made, and they were lined with either steel or hard rhino leather. No wonder it was Freila, not Miss Randy, who prepared the clothes for everyone.

"What is this? We seem to be going to a dance performance, not to the battlefield." Mr. Dumiliet knocked on the dress that was placed in front of him, and the dress made a dull metallic sound.

"Well, stubborn boy, stop complaining, or let Mr. Kelller sit by your side to protect you." Freira said with a ugly smile.

In the villa, the last thing Du Milière wants to see is Kyle. Even a crazy guy like him is equally scared when he sees Kyle.

Mumbling and picking up his clothes, the old man walked towards his room.

Seeing Mr. Dumiliet's figure disappearing at the end of the hall, Justine chuckled and said: "He is so funny, just like Miss Freila said, he's just an old kid. But. , Why is he imprisoned in Lombard prison? I definitely don’t think he will hurt anyone."

"It is true that the Lombardy Hell attracts a guy like him." Freira said with a shrug, as she threw a long skirt into Justine's hand: "Go and change your clothes. Your dressing efficiency is about the same as mine."

Everyone went back to their rooms and changed their dresses. For this kind of armor-like thing, everyone except Ribo was extremely strange, so when Ribo came out after changing his clothes, he was the only one in the hall. Two people with Freila.

Sitting next to Frila, Ribo suddenly remembered the question Justin asked.

"Do you know why Mr. Doumilier was imprisoned in Lombard? Even if he is a lunatic, there is no reason to put him in that kind of place." Ribo asked.

"He should have said the reason for being put in jail." Miss Freila said with a contemptuous curl of her lips.

"He said that his relatives coveted his property and did so." Riber said, but he didn't quite believe the words of this crazy old man. Riber knew that sometimes Mr. Dumiliet The brain is not very good.

"As for his relatives, you should know quite well. Isn't His Majesty the King just such a person?" Freila said disapprovingly.

This answer was far beyond Ribo's expectations.

"The old man used to be the biggest investor in the boss and Maier. You should be able to imagine how much he made from it, and the transactions between Nangang and other parts of France at that time were not as prosperous as they are now, he can say He was the largest businessman in Francis at the time, and the trade route from Surthbourg to Franck was in his hands, and he would naturally attract the jealousy of others.” Freila said.

Ribo really couldn't imagine that this crazy old man was such a big man.

"But he is indeed a little crazy. This is an undeniable fact. The reason for this may be because his knowledge has long been beyond this era and beyond the understanding of most people. Unfortunately, he and the boss and Mai Unlike you, he is not a realist." Freila said, with a touch of sadness in her tone.

"Why is this?" Ribo asked softly.

"Because he has never experienced ups and downs, and he has never experienced a penny of effort to accumulate wealth. For him, money is just a series of abstract values. In fact, he does not really know the value of money. I don't know that a penniless person endures the pain of hunger and cold. He didn't know it before, and he still doesn't know it. In my opinion, he will not know it in the future either." Freila said with a sigh.

"So I can't become as wise as Mr. Dumiliet, and see through the essence of wealth like him, because I am a real person, and I know the value of money well." Ribo said with a smile.

"One day, you will be tired of all of this. Too much wealth does not make sense, it does not mean having more happiness." A deep helplessness and a bit of bitterness appeared at the corner of Freila's mouth. Smile.

Ribo couldn't answer Miss Freila's feelings. Although he could understand Miss Freila's feelings, he still couldn't understand all this.

All Ribo can do is to gently hug Freila's waist and try to make her feel a touch of warmth.

……

Although the ladies were inefficient in dressing and dressing, they finally returned to the hall within two hours.

Freila is a "packaging expert" as Ribo knows.

Wearing the services she personally selected, both Miss Randy, Fanny and Justine looked glamorous and charming, and even Mr. Du Milière was a bit less decadent and aging.

Standing next to Mr. Dumiliet is the madman Pete.

Madman Pete is the only partner that Kelller agrees with, but he is not Mr. Hyde's subordinate, and he still doesn't know the details about him.

Looking at this well-dressed, personable, and noble-looking guy who seems to be one of the children of a wealthy and aristocratic family in the capital, if you don’t know his identity, Ruibo can’t imagine that this guy is a A very conscious and extremely dangerous killer.

Ribo looked at Eckert, then glanced at the madman Pete. Compared with Pete, Eckert seemed to be one of the declining nobles who served as secretaries or tutors among the wealthy and aristocratic families.

While guessing about Pete's original identity and why he became a killer, Ribo walked out of the mansion.

There were already two carriages parked at the door, and the thoroughbred horse dedicated to Ruibo was strolling leisurely on the grass in front of the door.

Mr. Dumiliet and Pete boarded the carriage in front, and the ladies boarded the one at the back. As for Ribo, as usual, he always rides his beloved thoroughbred horse, which has long become To his habits and hobbies.

In fact, he has forgotten that he is playing Ribo Byndit, that he is acting, and his love for mounts has already become a part of him.

No one in the capital knows the little heir of Surthburg and his well-known thoroughbred horse. Because of this, everyone looks sideways along the way.

There is quite a distance from the mansion to the coliseum. The coliseum is located on the south side of Anfell Square in the center of Franck. This classic building built in the Frank IX era highlights the pursuit of the IX era Huge and wide-sighted style.

The six huge undulating circular roofs look so magnificent and yet elegant and chic. Ruibo really appreciates that it is definitely a master architect who can design such a structure.

The grand theater is like a mountain rising from the ground, forming a perfect combination with the open square in front of it. The grand theater is built on more than a dozen steps, and two carriage passages lead directly to the theater’s gate. Before, the long scarlet carpet dragged from the entrance of the theater to the bottom of the steps.

Getting off the horse, the attendant took the reins carefully. No one in Frank didn't know this horse that won the championship at the horse racing event. In fact, it has even been regarded as a hero-a triumphant winner. To the national hero of the kingdom.

The ladies got off the carriage gracefully, which once again made everyone envious.

Entering the theater hall, the floor is covered with red carpets, the walls and ceilings are full of exquisite murals, wave-shaped decorations cover the edges of the walls, as if a huge picture frame envelops those murals. This is The decoration style of the ninth era, as for the content of those murals, are nothing more than myths and legends and famous stories of heroes in history, all of which are quite in line with the theater.

The theater has three floors, two exquisite stairs hovering up against the wall like two crescent moons, and the white-painted railings look dignified and elegant under the candlelight.

Under the leadership of the waiter, Ribo and his party walked upstairs.

The more you go up, the more noble and luxurious the layout of the lounge is. The exquisite seats on the second floor are not available on the ground floor. In addition to the seats and coffee table, there is a bar on the west side on the third floor. The cabinet is filled with precious wines. As part of the elegance and fashion, tea is also available here, and the strong tea fragrance permeates the entire third floor.

Ribo didn't intend to cause more trouble, he ordered the waiter to take them directly into the box.

The box on the third floor is very spacious, and a side-by-side chair can seat at least four people. The designer obviously does not want to cause trouble for the couple in love.

Although it is early, but the audience is already full underneath, but the VIPs sitting in the boxes are few and far between. The thick curtain on the front stage hangs down, and you can listen through the curtain. Get noisy footsteps and rattles from the winch sling.

As Ribo and the ladies were waiting enthusiastically for the curtain to be opened, the waiter who had been standing at the door and waiting carefully suddenly leaned behind Ribo mysteriously and said in a low voice: " Lord Earl, the Marquis of Keene wants to discuss something with you, but it is not convenient for him to visit your house. If it is convenient for you, please go to his box after the show begins."

Ribbo was taken aback by the waiter's words. He looked around and saw the Marquis Keene sitting in a dark corner in the box facing them.

Looking from a distance, the Marquis of Keene nodded slightly towards him.

"Please tell Lord Marquis, I will definitely visit." Ribo said softly.

……

Gradually the curtain was pulled up, and as Thor's exotic music sounded, six glamorous dancers sang and danced onto the stage.

Looking at their dances, Ribo had to admit that the Thor dance performed by Mr. Dumariere was not wrong, but because of the different dancers, there was a huge difference between the two.

The dancing girls swayed their slender waists, and the light stomping made the plump body tremble gently, which not only made Ruibo feel strange and graceful, but also felt a peculiar stimulation. And the way that Mr. Dumarière shakes his slightly convex belly is hard to compliment.

"Master Earl, I think Master Marquis Keene is ready to welcome your visit." The waiter behind him reminded softly.

Ribo nodded and got up from the seat.

The waiter opened the small door on one side. Behind the door is an alley that can only be passed by one person. In every upper-class theater, you can always find such a secret passage because of this With the existence of the passage, some people call the theater's box as a wild bed for cultivating illegitimate children.

The faint candlelight only allowed Ribo to see the road ahead and the waiter leading the way.

The box of the Marquis of Keene was at the other end of the theater, and the waiter stopped in front of a small door. He knocked gently on the door, and the door opened in response.

Unexpected by Ribo, in the box, he saw not only the Marquis Keene alone, but another lady wearing a thick black gauze sitting in a blind spot behind the box curtains. Among them, if Ribo is not someone who is familiar with the Marquis of Keene, he will definitely have a warm thought in his heart.

The waiter who led the way retired from the box together with the waiter who had been waiting in the box.

"Marquis Keene, do you have anything to do with me?" Ribo asked in a puzzled manner. All this made him feel too weird, and according to the information he had, the Marquis of Keene was not A sneaky character who likes conspiracy and trickery.

"Mr. Earl, it is not the wish of the Marquis to invite you to come, but my request." The lady who was hiding in the corner suddenly said softly.

Her voice made Ribo really startled, because Ribo had recognized that this mysterious lady was the Queen who deliberately alienated him.

I glanced at the Marquis Keene, who hadn’t turned his head from start to finish, and a strange sense of tension suddenly rose from the bottom of Ribo’s heart. Since the Marquis of Keene was involved in such weird things, That shows that something important is about to happen.

Perhaps compared with this incident, the series of turbulence and ups and downs before is nothing at all, and Ruibo feels more and more nervous.

Sitting in the seat, after a while, the Marquis of Keene slowly stood up. He didn't seem to see Ribo and walked straight out of the box. The waiter who had been waiting in the box came in. He gently drew the curtains and then backed out, from beginning to end he also put on the appearance that he didn't see anyone at all.

"Please sit down, there are only two of us now." Her Majesty the Queen took off her veil and said softly.

"You arranged all of this?" Ribo asked.

"Inviting your Excellency to watch the performance was the intention of the Duke of Auburn. It just happened to let me know the list of invitees. The Marquis of Keene had something to discuss with the Duke of Auburn. It would be better to use this to cover up people’s eyes. Yes. Their meeting is held in another box, I think this will attract the attention of most monitors." Her Majesty the Queen said slowly.

"Your Majesty, what did you take so hard for?" Ribo asked in a low voice.

"If I said that I hope to reach an understanding with you and establish an alliance, would you believe it?" Her Majesty the Queen said leisurely.

The words of Her Majesty the Queen did not exceed Ribo's expectations. In fact, he and Eckert already had a way to deal with it.

Under the current situation, they obviously have much more room to advance and retreat than the King and Queen, so there is no need to form such an alliance.

As for how to evade prevarication, Ruibo had already made up his mind, but he absolutely did not expect the next move of the Queen's Majesty.

"Why don't you sit down?" Her Majesty the Queen smiled and asked: "Sit by my side."

"It's not very respectful." Ribobi replied respectfully.

"Abandon your worries and constraints. I have many things to discuss with you. Some of them are related to you. Please let us meet frankly. This will benefit both of us." Her Majesty the Queen said calmly, suddenly She regained her former prestige.

Ribo was indeed a little surprised. I don't know why he started to shake a little. Obviously, what the Queen has shown now has already exceeded his and Eckert's original expectations.

Sitting down next to Her Majesty the Queen, Ribo waited for the Queen to pull down her closed curtain. He wanted to know what kind of play the Majesty wanted to stage.

"Earl Meding, there was a deep misunderstanding between us because of certain things. I hope you can forget all the unpleasant things. You have a keen eye and a wise maturity that does not match your age. You It should be seen that His Majesty’s current status is precarious."

"Originally, your Majesty was able to rely on the Magic Association and the Paladins to consolidate his throne and dignity. The agreement signed with Drizhi gave his Majesty a powerful offensive weapon, but with the hearing With the death of the burnt magician, Your Majesty has completely lost the loyalty of the magicians, and the recent assassination of Lord Monstock, the Paladin, has made His Majesty lose his only support."

"At this point, it can be said that your majesty has completely failed in the throne battle, but your majesty and I have been riding a tiger. You should be very clear about the fate of the loser who fell from the high position, as in the history books. There are countless records. Because of this, your majesty and I have to struggle for our own survival. I believe that even if your majesty abdicates the throne and gives the crown and throne to the prince, he will not let us live.” Her Majesty said with a sigh. Her tone was full of bitterness and helplessness.

"Your Majesty also has such a loyal and wise courtier as the Marquis of Keene, as well as Mr. Rabel's agile subordinates. Although Lord Monstock was unfortunately assassinated, the Paladins are still loyal to you and Your Majesty, You don't need to be so sad at all." Ribo spoke disapprovingly and said the scenes that had already been discussed with Eckert.

"I know you still can’t forgive your Majesty’s persecution of you, but please believe that it is the result of some ill-intentioned people bewitching your majesty the ignorant King, and these ill-intentioned people are still desperately wanting Murder your Excellency. Among them, the most shameless and arrogant is the court magician Vach."

"Your infinite potential makes him feel jealous and panic. He will want to get rid of you and then hurry up. Another good-looking hypocrite who wants to harm you is the president of the Magic Association, Nile Herre. He is said to be an even more terrifying enemy. What he is trying to seize is the source of power you have-the great power that the great wizard Kai Mildite has retained to this day. For this purpose, he is in your teacher, Masek Sorcerer. Shi put his own cronies beside him, and also bought a lot of spies." Her Majesty the Queen said while checking Ruibo's expression.

The tone of Her Majesty the Queen is so plain, as if her fate, court battles, contempt for the existence of the king, and the political turmoil like rapids and dark waves, to her are nothing more than a drama performed on the stage. .

There is no trace of panic in her expression, nor is there a trace of eagerness for help. In the dim shadow, she looks so peaceful and peaceful, but between her brows reveals a sense of elegance that only the highest can possess. .

As she expected, the young heir of Surthburg was shocked after hearing all this, after all, he was only a boy, a genius boy.

Ribo is rolling like a stormy sea, and he is absolutely certain that Her Majesty the Queen is not exaggerating.

He and his teacher found the Great Sorcerer to open Mildit's magic notebook in the Butter Forest. This matter is definitely a secret.

One of the many creations left behind by the Great Sorcerer Kai Mildit made His Majesty Francis IX almost conquered it.

Because of this, any discovery of Mildit will cause an uproar once it is leaked out.

Ms. Marschke has warned himself more than once to keep this secret strictly, and he must be more aware of the stakes.

Although Her Majesty the Queen said that the chairman of the Magic Association, Ribo did not know his details.

However, he knows the dark side of humanity very well, of course, he can guess what kind of trap a polite but insatiable hypocrite would deploy to deal with his teacher, Mr. Massek.

Ribo was indeed shocked by the unexpected news, but the extreme shock did not prevent his brain from functioning quickly. All this should be attributed to Eckert's excellent teaching and Kyle's strict training.

In a moment, Ruibo sorted out everything related to this in detail. He dare not omit the slightest, because this time the enemy is completely different from the past. This time the opponent is not only high in status, but also With extraordinary power, compared with them, he is completely at a disadvantage.

"Your Majesty, the way you asked me to meet is too risky. The eyes of the watcher may be blinded by these little tricks, but the eyes of magic are everywhere." Ruibo said solemnly.

"Don’t worry. When the theater was built, the designer had already considered some special functions. You should know that many important agreements were made behind the dark curtain. We are not the first group. Those who discuss important matters in such a place will definitely not be the last group." Her Majesty the Queen said with a smile.

Listening to what the Queen said, Ribo closed his eyes and used all his perception to search around. There is indeed a mysterious power that repels the mental fluctuations he exudes.

Ribo's mood finally calmed down a bit, he thought for a while before he made up his mind.

If the queen wants to have some kind of alliance, then give her an alliance.

Ribo believes that he can persuade Eckert and Mr. Hyde, after all, the king and queen have completely failed, and letting Prince Phillips ascend to the throne is also not the end they want to see.

Let this much more sophisticated prince become the king of the Kingdom of France, which is not a lucky thing for Surthbourg.

"Your Majesty the Queen, it is an honor to be able to serve you and His Majesty the King. I and all the subjects in the south will definitely stand by your side and Your Majesty." Ribobi said respectfully.

Hearing Ribo's words, the queen did not show a happy look as Ribo expected.

She said indifferently: "Master Earl, you should have heard such a sentence. Some people use their lives to defend what they have said, and some people use words to protect their lives. You It’s not like the kind of person who will challenge an unstoppable enemy for the promise he has said."

"Your Majesty, how do you want me to trust you?" Ribo asked back, and he guessed what kind of problems the queen might ask.

"Lord Earl, are you satisfied with Millie?" Her Majesty the Queen did not answer Ribo's question, but instead brought the topic to Ribo's absurd life in the legendary castle on the outskirts Above.

Ribo didn't understand the intentions of the Queen. Is the Queen planning to place the marquise by her side to monitor her words and deeds? Suddenly Ribo didn't know how to answer, so he nodded slightly.

"The ladies of the court told me that you seem to be planning to make Mi Li pregnant because you ripped off the cotton ball that Mi Li used to avoid pregnancy, isn't it?" Her Majesty looked at Ruibo and asked with a smile.

Ribo was speechless this time. He really didn't think that the cotton ball was used for such a purpose. His Majesty's eyes made him feel extremely embarrassed, and he couldn't raise his head.

"I want to congratulate you, your efforts are obviously quite successful, and Mili realizes that she is pregnant." The queen said with a smile.

Hearing what the Queen said, Ribo felt a little at a loss.

Although it is common to have one or two illegitimate children in aristocratic circles, he never thought he would encounter such a thing.

What's more, he himself is not an adult, and he is not ready to welcome a child to come to the world.

Seeing Ruibo's flustered look, Her Majesty the Queen smiled and said: "Unfortunately, Mili does not intend to give birth to the child in the world. You must be very sorry."

Ribo finally let out a long sigh when he heard this sentence.

However, he became more and more puzzled when the Queen brought up this matter.

Ribo's reaction was originally expected by the queen. She sighed and said softly: "After all, Mi Li is still too young to know the joy and importance of having children."

Speaking of this, Her Majesty the Queen paused for a while. She saw that Ribo was still confused and had to explain further: "Just like me now, in order to save my life, I have to fight against the Lord Prince in the name of His Majesty the King. But once your Majesty passed away, I lost everything I could rely on. I was not able to give birth to a small heir for your Majesty. When your Majesty married me, I was already old and in some ways already unable to do my best."

Ribo finally understood what the Queen meant, but he was stunned by the suggestion.

In fact, he never thought that in order to make Surthburg peace, in order to complete the mission entrusted to him by Mr. Hyde, he would need to knit a green hat for His Majesty the King.

"This is the most powerful promise I hope, and it is also the greatest secret that the two of us have. I will never let the Marquis Keene know about this, and you don’t have to listen to Mr. Hyde or Mr. Eckert’s suggestion. This matter is extremely beneficial to both of you and me, and it is also very important." Her Majesty the Queen gently approached the ear of the little heir of Searthborough and whispered, from her charming little mouth The fragrance spit out from it blowing on Ribo's sensitive ears.

Ribo doesn’t know whether this is a seduction or just being cautious. If it’s the former, the Queen’s Majesty has obviously obtained the effect she needs, and he has already felt an abnormal change in a certain part of the body. .

"Can you give me some time to think about it?" Ruibo said sadly.

"Yes, but how do you convey to me the result of your final consideration, after all, I have to show a look of alienation from you, at least this is absolutely necessary in front of Vac and Nielère." Her Majesty the Queen Said calmly, she had restored the nobility and majesty of the past, as if the enthusiastic mature woman had never existed before.

"I will make a request, asking you to let me once again study the laboratory left by the Great Sorcerer Kai Mildit. I have full confidence that Mr. Vatch and Mr. Nile Herre will never Doubt about the purpose of my trip." Ribo replied immediately, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

In fact, just a moment ago, he had already figured out how to deal with the two dangerous men who were ill-intentioned to deal with him.

Every step, every possible accident is listed in detail. All of this is due to Eckert’s achievements. Ribo feels more and more that he is familiar with these conspiracies and tricks. .

Ribo didn't realize that before he knew it, he became more and more like his teacher, even including the smile at the corner of his mouth full of mystery and mystery.

Looking at the mysterious smile of the little heir of Surthburg, watching his confident eyes twinkling in the dark, her Majesty the Queen seemed to be able to feel the same confidence.

Thinking about it, Her Majesty the Queen has already guessed the method Ribo intends to use, and she can't help but feel fortunate that she has such a resourceful and responsive alliance.

His Majesty the Queen is absolutely certain that for the first time, the young heir to Surthburg heard that Vac and Nielère were calculating his affairs behind his back.

Being able to think of a countermeasure in such a short period of time, this cannot but say that the wisdom of the young heir of Searthburg is extraordinary.

Another reason why the Queen feels at ease is that she can at least be sure that those extraordinary miraculous strategies are not the resourceful Mr. Eckert or hiding behind Mr. Eckert. The guidance of the more advanced Mr. Hyde was the crystallization of the wisdom of this genius young man.

"I hope to get your reply as soon as possible. Our covenant is extremely beneficial to both sides." Her Majesty the Queen said in a pun, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, with a different kind of smile in it. Charming and tender.

Ribo quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Her Majesty the Queen. He gently kissed the hand of Her Majesty the Queen and gave him the method that Miss Freila taught him. The charming noble lady has a warm hint.

……

Returning to his seat, Ribo was still in a trance.

He tried his best to calm himself, but the anxiety and restlessness still made him unbearable.

The exotic dance didn't arouse his interest at all, and even the stomping sound made him feel a torture, and this torture continued until the rest.

Ribo was not in the mood to go to the lounge, but the invitation of the Duke of Auburn could not be refused after all.

The lounge was filled with a strong fragrance of tea, and the Duke of Auburn and the Marquis of Keene looked very close when sitting on the same sofa.

Beside them, there are still a few lords of Marquis, all of whom are important figures in the capital.

Seeing Ribo coming, the Duke of Auburn stood up and greeted him graciously to sit down.

"Mr. Earl, your Excellency must have been busy preparing for the fair recently." The Duke of Auburn asked with a smile.

Ribo can clearly feel a hint of temptation. Obviously, the leader of the neutral faction, a knowledgeable noble scholar, and a generous philanthropist is not a noble person who regards money as dung.

"No, it doesn't take me much effort to raise the fair. As long as the main framework is set up, it doesn't take much effort to make it work normally, not to mention that there are so many talented people in the capital," said Ruibo.

"You are so modest. Who in the capital doesn't know that the fair cannot exist without your wisdom." Duke Auburn said graciously, and he smiled and looked at Ribo and turned the topic around. To the top of the business.

"Earl Meding, are you satisfied with today's singing and dancing performances? The Royal Song and Dance Ensemble is well-known in the Thor Empire. They can be said to be the jewels of the great Emperor, and I can invite the Thor Royal It is definitely an honor for the singing and dancing troupe to come to perform. It is entirely the great emperor’s view that I have served as the French envoy to Thor for many years, working hard and diligently for the peace and prosperity of the Kingdom of France and the Thor empire. For copies."

"Earl Meding, this time the Royal Singing and Dance Ensemble has not only brought wonderful singing and dancing performances, but also brought greetings and suggestions from His Majesty the Emperor Thor. Thor’s prosperity and richness are well known, and the spices produced there, Tea has added countless joys to our lives. It is a pity that these precious goods must pass through the Kingdom of Yi Lei to reach us. This intermediate link makes the price of spices and tea extremely expensive, even for families like ours. Can't enjoy it to the full." The Duke of Auburn said, watching Ribo's reaction.

"Duke Auburn, this proposal is very attractive, but the risk of implementation is really not small. You should be very clear that there was a war between Yi Lei and Thor, and finally Yi Lei was in order to maintain the trade with Thor. I would rather give up the three prosperous counties and provinces. If Thor trades with us directly, I am afraid that Yi Lei will not hesitate to fight with us. Even if the extreme solution of war is not adopted, Yi Lei will also deal with foreign affairs and trade. We retaliate, which is really not worth the gain. After all, Francis’s main trading partner has always been Yi Lei, and the political and diplomatic ties have always been extremely close.” Ribo glanced at the Duke of Auburn and saw this Duke. The adult continued with a thoughtful look: "What's more, we rarely deal with Thors. As far as I know, Thor's merchants are quite famous for their cunning and dishonesty. It took only a century to figure out their temperament and details."

"Oh! It seems that I am still not very thoughtful." The Duke of Auburn said regretfully.

"You did not make the slightest mistake, Lord Duke, although full-scale trade with Thor seems unrealistic, it is still quite necessary to keep a trade channel, so that those who have reached Franck want to The price of goods transferred by Lei will drop by at least 10%, but this trade channel can only be operated in the personal name of your Duke of Oban and Emperor Thor. I think Lei would never dare to talk to you and the emperor. Your Majesty turned his face, but in this way you or your son will become very hard." Ruibo said.

The Duke of Auburn obviously didn't care about what Ribe said about the hard work. He was happy to close his mouth because of this excellent suggestion. In fact, he hadn't thought of such an idea that satisfies him! According to what the little heir of Surthburg said, there is no doubt that a golden passage is laid in front of him, and even a noble noble like the Duke of Auburn can't help but be impressed.

"Oh! There is nothing wrong with the rumors in the capital, Earl Meding, you are indeed an excellent diplomat and strategy expert. What you think of in a moment, I am afraid that we ordinary people will have all the wisdom It's hard to compare together." A Marquis lord next to him immediately said humbly.

"I have only one wish now-one day I can visit your guardian, Lord Hyde. In my opinion, he is the greatest educator I know. If I can get his approval, I will definitely treat all the children of the family Entrust it to this gentleman." The other Marquis also did his best to flatter.

"Earl Medin, I beg you to spare a little time from your busy schedule to plan this for me." The Duke of Auburn said respectfully.

"Oh! I'm very sorry, I have been busy with magic research recently, and I hardly have any free time, but I can recommend two experienced experts to you, and they will definitely satisfy you." Ruibo quickly refused.

The words of the heir to Searthburg disappointed everyone, but the words just now made everyone think they had a better understanding of the young heir to Searthburg.

The impression of the young heir to Surthburg is wise, mature, clever, and cruel in everyone's minds.

The image that best suits him is neither a nobleman nor a liar, but a highly successful businessman.

The achievement and wisdom of this young man in business made everyone astounded.

Because of this, almost no one among the people present thinks that this young man can bear the temptation of huge profits and huge wealth. In their opinion, cooperating with the Duke of Auburn is almost equivalent to digging a gold mine.

But Ribo's refusal reminded everyone of his other identity, and it was this identity that made His Majesty the King helpless.

This boy is a magic apprentice, but unlike ordinary magic apprentices, he has almost unlimited potential. In fact, many people are speculating whether this boy will become the second great wizard Kaimir. Dieter.
