Chapter 17 The Scapegoat (Part 2)(1/2)
When Shuyi followed Marquis of Napleton to his Marquis' Mansion, Napleton was no longer as arrogant as before.
Although he was still a little embarrassed, Napleton was already much more polite when speaking, but he still maintained the unique aristocratic arrogance.
"Shuyglair, this is the Marquis' Mansion. Feeler is now in his room, and my servants will take you there. I will change my clothes, and the Marquis of Napleton will come over." After saying this, Marquis Nepleton left.
Xiu Yi didn't care about the attitude of Marquis Napleton.
This is not the first time he has dealt with these great nobles. He knows that they are just a group of wolves who are greedy and afraid of death, and who are strong outside and do the middle. If Xiu Yi is the essence of merchants, then the essence of these nobles is the essence of robbers. In their opinion, the equality they give you is already a kind of preferential treatment.
So Xiuyi said to the servant of the Napleton family: "Take me to your young master's room."
He planned to cure the young master's hand and leave immediately.
He didn't know that at this time, the Marquis of Blatt actually came to the Marquis of Napleton's mansion.
"Are you sure that's the case?" Marquis Napleton was a little surprised what Marquis Blatter told him.
"That's true, His Majesty said to me personally. He would rather exchange his ten-year life for those skills, but unfortunately Shuiglair never let go..." Marquis Blatter's face showed a embarrassed expression.
"Why is this happening? Your Majesty can do it directly."
"No, you must know that Isador and His Majesty are good friends. When Isador invited Sauer to come, he swore in the name of the elders of the Sauer Church and the name of the gods that the Sarah Empire and the Sauer Church would not take any forced action against him. This means that as long as Sauer does not nod, we cannot get any technology from him, except for those things that we have paid a huge price for."
"Then your majesty..."
"Your Majesty is very distressed. You know that there is a treasure mountain in front of you but you can't dig out what it feels like, right?"
"Yes, I can fully understand. This is why Souigrail dares to be so arrogant. He relies on the protection of Issado. In my opinion, Issado is too kind. In fact, even if we attack Souigrail, as long as we don't say it, who will know."
"That's right, but who will do it? You must know that this is something that is likely to cause the anger of the Crown Prince. Your Majesty cannot openly order...Who calls them good friends?" Marquis Blatter's face showed a glimmer of distress: "That's the matter, what could have been very simple has become complicated. As long as we catch that boy and torture it, we can easily get all the content we want. Is there no one in this world who is not afraid of death?"
"Of course, if that kid falls into my hands, I promise he will say everything."
"It's a pity that we don't have that order. Although His Majesty is so eager to get those techniques..." Marquis Blatter's eyes showed endless regret.
Perhaps because he felt that he had said too much, Marquis Blatter bowed to Marquis Napleton: "Ah, I came here to see if your son's hand has been cured. Since you have just returned, I will leave first. If there is good news, please inform me as soon as possible. God of the Underworld is here, and your son will definitely recover."
"Thank you for your concern, Marquis Blatt."
After seeing Blatt off, Napleton walked around his room with his hands on his back.
Blatt had already made it clear.
His Majesty the Emperor wanted those techniques, those that only Chu Iglair had. But considering the intention of the elder Issado, he could not openly issue such orders. It was very likely that the royal family and the church would break.
But as an imperial official, if you want to take office, sometimes you have to learn to share your worries and solve problems for your master. There are many things that you don’t need to say in person by Your Majesty the Emperor to do. You may not need to give orders from Your Majesty himself to do. Sometimes, as long as the emperor reveals a little meaning, you have to understand it immediately and do things well by yourself. Of course, this unauthorized behavior may cause the emperor to curse, but in secret, he will be very happy that you are sensible. He may give you some unpainful punishments on the surface, but in the end he will give you very substantial benefits, such as promotion.
The position of Marquis Napleton has been in charge of the country for too long. Unfortunately, as the Minister of Justice, he is in charge of the national laws. Although he has a high position and a powerful position, it is a pity that this position is not easy to achieve political achievements. The most likely place to achieve political achievements is always key departments such as war and finance. Therefore, it is difficult for the Marquis to have a chance to further his career in his official career.
But today, God seemed to give him a chance.
The boy who made His Majesty restless was in his house at this moment.
He is preparing for treatment for his son.
He was the only one, and there was no preparation.
Napleton's eyes narrowed.
Maybe...this is a good opportunity to make contributions?
Even if Issado knew about it, since this was not an order issued by the Cang himself, he would not be considered a violation of his oath. Similarly, as long as he could obtain those techniques, all the faults would no longer exist, and what awaited him would be a huge reward given to him by the emperor.
Thinking of this, Napleton shook the bell and a servant walked in.
"Go and call Bicom and the others over, hurry up, and then gather all the family warriors secretly. After the guest cured Master Feile's injury, he would notify me immediately."
"Yes, Master."
The potion applied to Feler's hands, making him feel itchy.
He wanted to scratch it.
Xiuyi held his hand and said, "Don't move, that's the feeling that will inevitably arise when new meat is produced. Don't worry, just lie on for a day and you will be fine."
Feller struggled to sit up: "Shuyglare, I am very grateful for your cure my hand, but I want to tell you that after my hand is well, I will challenge you and fight with you to defend the dignity and glory of my Napleton family!"
"I don't need your gratitude. If you come to me again, I will break both of your legs and make sure that they can't even cure me. If I'm in a good mood, maybe I will throw you into the pen and watch you roll in the cesspool." Xiuyi gave Feile a vicious warning, scaring the boy's face pale.
Looking at Feile's shocked look, Xiu Yi chuckled: "Look, you are not as brave as you thought. You still lack too much experience and exercise."
As he said that, he walked out of the room.
A servant was already waiting in front of the door. When he saw Xiuyi coming out, he walked up and said respectfully to Xiuyi: "Master's instructions, if the young master's injury is fine, please sit in his study. He hopes to express his gratitude to you in person. He has prepared some small gifts for this."
"Oh?" Xiuyi raised his eyebrows.
"Yes." The servant replied: "The master said, you will definitely be interested in the gift."
Xiu Yi felt very strange.
If his feelings were not wrong, he still had a lot of opinions about himself before Marquis Napleton took him to treat his son. Why did the marquis suddenly become so hospitable after only a while?
Xiuyi thought for a while and said to the servant, "Young Master Feile's injury has just been cured. Don't the Marquis plan to come and see it?"
The servant replied: "Sir, the Marquis is naturally very relieved."
Xiu Yi's face darkened.
"Is that true?" he said to himself, lowered his head and thought for a while, and nodded, "Since you are so polite, just lead the way."
The servant took Xiuyi to the depths of the Marquis' Mansion.
Xiuyi followed the servant while watching boredly. He noticed that he had not met anyone along the way.
When he arrived at a corridor, he casually asked the servant: "The Marquis' Mansion is so big, there should be many servants, right?"
The servant immediately showed a proud look on his face: "Of course. There are hundreds of servants in the Napleton family."
"A servant of hundreds of people..." Xiu Yi nodded: "If that were the case, there should be at least two gardeners in a garden, right?"
"It's four." The servant replied.
"It's really interesting," said Xiuyi. He stood at one end of the corridor and looked at the garden in the distance: "Since there are four gardeners, why didn't I see that garden alone?"
The servant was stunned and replied in a panic: "They... they may be going... doing something else. You know, there are always many things in the Marquis' Mansion."
"So that's how it is." Xiu Yi nodded.
He suddenly jumped out of the corridor and walked quickly towards the garden, and said, "These flowers are very beautiful. Some of them have never been found in the Northern mainland before. I want to appreciate them."
The servant was a little anxious: "Sir, the master is still waiting for you in the study."
"Don't worry." Xiuyi said while walking in the garden.
Suddenly he stretched out his hand, grabbed a quick hand in front of a flower, then pinched his fist and reached in front of the servant and said, "Guess what I caught?"
"What?" the servant didn't understand.
Xiu Yi's hand was opened, and a little bee buzzed out of his palm.
"A bee." Xiu Yi smiled proudly on her face, as if she was very proud of her behavior.
"A bee?" The servant was a little dizzy.
"And more than one." Xiuyi said seriously. His right hand moved, and he actually grabbed a few more little bees and released them.
"It's strange, I didn't see them at all." The servant couldn't understand what was going on. Why didn't he see any bees flying here in advance.
Xiu Yi blinked at the servant: "It's strange? It's actually not necessary. You should know that a magician can always see a lot of things that others cannot see and do things that others cannot do."
"Are you a magician?" the servant exclaimed.
"Yes, do you need proof?" Xiuyi flipped his wrist and a crystal ball suddenly appeared in his palm.
His eyes swept slightly over the crystal ball, and a sarcastic smile appeared in his eyes.
The wrist moved slightly and the crystal ball disappeared.
The servant admired Shuyi's move very much, but fortunately he did not forget his mission: "Uh... Dear Mr. Glair, I think maybe we shouldn't compete with a few little bees here. You know, it's actually a very rude thing to let a marquis wait for a long time." The servant reminded Shuyi carefully.
"You're right, so I won't let him wait too long." Xiuyi said, but continued to stay among the flowers.
He approached a flower and smelled its fragrance, and then came to another large bunch of flowers, and stopped to appreciate the bright colors of these plants. He gently touched the petals with his fingers, as if he loved these beautiful flowers, and the unknown seeds of plants fell out of his palms.
Every time I go, some seeds will sprinkle on the ground.
The servant was anxious but did not dare to urge him. However, Xiu Yi walked around casually, as if he was walking in his own garden.
He walked around for a while before he said to the servant, "I have seen it all, let's go now."
The servant wiped his sweat and then took Xiuyi to the study.
Marquis Napleton was already waiting in the study to repair her.
Seeing Xiuyi coming, the Marquis laughed heartily: "Thank you very much, Mr. Glair, you have cured my son's hand."
"I am already very grateful if you don't care that I injured your son."
"Oh, that's all the past." The Marquis waved his hands, and seemed to have completely forgotten everything that had happened before: "How could I care about those small misunderstandings for distinguished guests like you? I also hope you can forgive my previous misconduct."
"Distinguished guest?" Xiuyi looked at the Marquis: "Master Napleton, do you know who I am?"
"Of course." The Marquis' expression became serious: "Shuyglare, the genius who turned the Lance Empire upside down, I heard that you have obtained the entire Lance Empire and Electra's alchemy heritage. You are the only person in the world who can make teleportation arrays and space rings."
