Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

Chapter 39 Chapter 39: The tip of the iceberg

Elijah's bright red eyes rolled around a few times, and he quickly answered the question:

"Let me be honest, master, I've only drank your blood, so I don't know what 'smells' is. sword, I am doomed—"

Angie quickly stopped its nonsense, and closed the sack mercilessly again.

Originally, she thought that Elijah and the Goddess were both blood-sucking monsters, and they might have a common topic on the matter of "tasting blood".Now it seems that she is thinking too much.

After a good night's rest, Angie was going to find Slade.

She approached the butler very politely and asked him to make an appointment with the lord for her, and then sat on the stairs of the Shuttlewood palace, waiting quietly.

Just when Angie was looking at the sky in a daze, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gleason Nogo walking towards here.

"Hello, Ms. Gresque."

Hearing this new title, Anji couldn't help being stunned for a few seconds, then stood up abruptly and bowed to him.

"Hello, Lord Earl."

But she didn't know what to say next, so she could only squeeze out a friendly smile.

Fortunately, at this moment, the butler just came downstairs and informed her to see Lord Slade.

Angie just wanted to take the opportunity to sneak away, but before he could speak, he saw Gleason smile.

"It's a lucky coincidence—I happen to be going to see Lord Slade too. If you would do me the favor, would you come with me?"

For this kind of "luck", Anji pouted secretly in his heart, but still pretended to be very honored, and went upstairs with him with a smile.

At this moment, Slade was alone in the hall on the top floor.

Different from yesterday's luxury, she changed back to her usual monotonous black uniform, but when she saw Angie and Gleason who came together, she seemed to be dazed for a moment.

In the next second, Slade returned to normal color, beckoned Gleason to sit beside him, and chatted enthusiastically with him.

Angie stood aside, feeling a little puzzled.It stands to reason that such high-status people sit together and talk, and she is obviously not able to come and listen. Why did this Gleason let her go upstairs together?
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Sure enough, after they exchanged a few pleasantries, Gleason suddenly changed the topic:
"Lord Slade, before returning to Ruden, I have one request."

Slade just looked at him with a smile, and didn't answer immediately, but spoke slowly after a few seconds of silence:
"Tell me what's the matter."

"I want to borrow someone from you. In exchange, I can let Renee come to you and provide you with combat power and financial help."

After Gleason said this with a smile, Angie felt a chill behind him for no reason.She looked at Slade quietly, and saw that although there was still a smile on his face, his eyes had gradually turned cold.

Things seem to be in trouble...

"Gleason," Slade said the name almost word for word, "do you know what you're talking about?"

"I know."

Gleason's voice was still gentle and calm, but it intensified the invisible smell of gunpowder in the air.

The moment he realized that the situation was wrong, Anji's little brain started to work rapidly.

There are two key points in Gleason's request. One is that it seems to be weakening the vitality of the lord, and the other is that on the surface, he dispatched capable people to deliver supplies, but in fact he is suspected of "secret supervision". These have already passed Slade. bottom line.

The count looked at his sullen monarch, not only did he not show cowardice, but he spoke again with a calm smile:
"I think that exchanging a newly promoted knight for such a large amount of help is absolutely beneficial to you."

Angie looked calm on the surface, but her heart skipped a beat.

The "new knight" clearly refers to himself.Looking back, these are no coincidences, they are all calculated in advance.

After the banquet yesterday, Slade asked Angie to come and see her the next morning.Gleason was by the side at the time, so he naturally knew about it.

His meeting with Slade with Angie, and making this request, alone were enough to make people suspect that they were secretly colluding.

If Slade granted his request, Angie would have to follow him back to Rudon.As a knight directly under Slade, she is bound to not be reused, and she even has to intrigue with Gleason and his forces.

Otherwise, stay and have a good "chat" with Slade.

Angie couldn't help but want to ask this Gleason, did he owe him money in his previous life?Why did she do this at a critical time when she was finally promoted and her relationship with her boss was easing?
At this moment, Slade, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly let out a sneer of gritted teeth.

After a while, she regained her composure completely, looked at Gleason expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice:
"you can go now."

Gleason didn't say anything more, he turned and left after bowing to Slade.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly said softly: "I hope you won't regret today's decision."

Then, the red-haired earl pushed open the hall door and walked away.

Angie twitched the corners of her mouth in a complicated mood, and then carefully looked at the woman who was so angry that her body trembled slightly and she silently smiled distortedly.

"Angie."

The girl who was named was shocked, and immediately stood up straight, and explained sincerely and sincerely: "He and I really have nothing to do with him, Lord Slade, please believe me."

This made Slade laugh out loud.Then she turned her head to look at Anji, and said without any emotion:

"I didn't doubt you first, but you explained it yourself first?"

"Because I feel like I need to explain...that earl and I basically just said hello and goodbye."

Slade stared at Angie silently.

And Angie also looked at the other party very sincerely, but actually wanted to scratch his head, but this scene was a bit inappropriate.

After a long time, Slade finally spoke:
"Do something for me—go to Glen Village and call back Rabin Fosguster. You can't tell anyone about this, you can only do it in secret, understand?"

Angie had heard of this name before. He was the head of the Knights who had trained with Barton and beat him into the air.

She didn't agree immediately, but hesitated for a while before saying hesitantly, "Master Slade...Glan Village, it's a fourth-level foreign land right now."

Slade didn't look at her, just hummed.

This makes one's scalp tingle.

Angie remembered that Barton once said that with her current endurance value, she could only live in a fourth-level alien world for a day at most.

Although Slade used the words "do something for her" very rarely, it didn't make him die for her.

The new knight was sent to a distant border by the lord on the second day after he took office, and made a strategic and heroic sacrifice. This sounds a bit too... tragic.

At this time, Slade's light voice came from his ear.

"come over."

The girl hesitated for a while, and then sat beside her at the other party's gesture.

This was Angie's first normal contact with her in such close quarters - choking, of course, didn't count.

Slade looked at the girl in front of him who was pretending to be calm, and smiled faintly.

"I will lend you a treasure, which can increase your resistance to curses in a short period of time, but it will also cost you some money."

"cost?"

Angie couldn't help murmuring, and turned her head to the side to express her confusion.

"Your body..."

The lord of the Glosk Territory rarely has this kind of "half-speaking" time, but she is indeed a little embarrassed.

Slade tapped the table lightly a few times with his pitch-black claws, then closed his eyes, let out a long and silent breath, and then continued:
"Your body may undergo some changes."

Angie's lips parted for a second, then returned to normal.

She understood the other party's meaning in an instant, and finally touched the tip of the iceberg in this world.

Those grotesque personal guards, as well as Slade's deformed arm, may have become like this because of this prop that can increase endurance.

Or, it is related to "too fast increase of resistance value".

Angie closed her eyes and struggled for a while before slowly opening her eyes and looking at Slade.

"I would like to go to Granville, but please explain to me—especially about the 'resistance to curse' and 'body changes'."

　With the celebration banquet as the time node, some internal conflicts began to surface.

　　Originally, the infighting between these two people was written briefly,
　　But I was afraid that what you were looking at would be too confusing, so I asked Xiao Anji to help explain it...

　　The next chapter is a [-]-word excessive chapter, and the next chapter is Entering a Foreign Land~
　　This time the strange land will probably be written longer, and there will be more characters, I hope I can grasp it, hehe~
　　Ever since I wrote a novel, I have become more and more hungry... It turns out that brain power consumption is real!
