is the son of the Holy See, but the master of black magic

Chapter 44 Showing the enemy to be weak
When the sky turned white, the hustle and bustle in the wooden house by the sea had completely dissipated.

But the wooden house is no longer a simple wooden house.

At this moment, on its periphery, there is a circle of stone brick platforms standing firmly on the beach and shallow water. The periphery of the platform is a circle of towering white marble walls, and the walls are transparent glass domes.

From the outside, it seems to have become a round stone castle quietly placed by the sea.

Inside, the large open space between the marble walls and the original wooden house is now full of various objects.

Ancient bronze instruments and equipment like alchemy tools, bottles and cans, droppers, various basic material solvents, etc.

There are also bundles of herbs stacked neatly in the corner.

There are many kinds of herbs, with a faint layer of light attached to them, so that they can be stored in the open air by the sea for a long time without special treatment.

The living environment in the wooden house has also taken on a new look. The tables, chairs and beds are more high-end, and there are extraordinary equipment that can maintain a constant temperature in the room. It is a black object that looks like a radio, and it is placed on the bedside table in the bedroom.

Andy was sitting next to it on the big feather bed, because the bed was so high and he was so short that his legs were dangling in the air.

"It's quite interesting."

Sitting on the bed, he was playing with a silver button with his head down. As he fiddled with his fingers, the button changed from time to time.

Daggers, screwdrivers, nail clippers, ear picks, tickles...

The button that can be stretched arbitrarily is called David's ever-changing tool. Judging from the name, it was naturally invented by a transcendent named David.

It's not very useful, but in daily life, it will become extremely convenient.

This thing is a small gift given to Andy by a professional thief just now.

In addition, all the changes around were also brought about by those people just now.

A transcendent with a career as an architect even planned to dig him a cellar leading to the bottom of the sea.

But it was rejected by Andy.

As soon as it was troublesome, the sound of "decoration" was too noisy.

Secondly, he didn't plan to live here for long.

"Start refining medicine for idiots tomorrow."

Thinking of this, Andy turned the button into a simple silver cross brooch and fastened it on his body. By the way, he glanced at the black suitcase that was quietly placed at the foot of the bed.

After there were no outsiders in the house, the faint feeling of being watched had disappeared, so he was not afraid of being watched by others.

However, some things have become more and more obvious.

During the polite handshake when they were parting before, three people wrote some words on the palms of his hands one after another.

Most of them are telling him to find a way to leave quickly, there are differences in the high-level, danger and so on.

Presumably they saw something was wrong.

However, running away...

Take off your shoes and get on the bed.

After covering his body with the soft white quilt, Andy yawned, and then slowly fell asleep with his eyes closed in the dim light outside the window.

This is of course not really sleeping, but putting on a vest and running to the Myth Palace.

Then he saw the "blond boy" again.

……

Time and reality in the Palace of Myths are out of sync.

In the sky, there is a bright sun emitting dazzling light, and the surrounding green plains are constantly blown by the breeze, bringing a burst of fragrance of flowers and plants.

The place where Andy went off the assembly line was originally a high-column pavilion pulled up from the plain, but at this moment, it has evolved into an elegant garden without walls.

Surrounded by towering trees, flowers in the flower garden bloom around an angel fountain holding a pot, in which butterflies and dragonflies hover and fly, occasionally falling on the petals, and their wings are still shaking slightly.

"I've been waiting for you for two hours."

The blond boy sat in the pavilion with his chest folded and looked impatiently at the "middle-aged man" who suddenly appeared opposite him and looked quite similar to him.

"What trouble did you run into?"

Although his identity was exposed in the last conversation, "he" seems to have no intention of using his real body to get along with Andy.

"How to make a person pay more attention to you?"

Andy didn't care about the image of the other party. After sitting on the stone chair opposite him, he said casually: "There is a very simple way, that is to pretend that you are very busy, so that even if the phone rings, you have to wait until you answer it."

"Won't this delay the business?" The blond boy frowned upon hearing this.

She had thought that Andy might have encountered something, that's why he showed up so late, and she also thought that he was deliberately "suffering" her patience.

The latter seems to be the answer.

But this person in front of him actually gave the answer so straightforwardly?
"Is there any business here?" Andy asked in a surprised tone, leaving the boy speechless for a moment.

Of course there is business.

Both have needs for each other.

From her point of view, Andy was planning to exchange for some kind of needs from her at the smallest price, and was unwilling to pay more.

So I pretended to have nothing to ask for, and waited until I took the initiative to lean over and bite the hook.

What about her?

She wanted to get information about Andy's reality, and then go whoring for nothing.

The main thing is to look at the attitude of the other party to know that what he wants must not be simple.If I say it, I am afraid that even myself, who is the emperor, will be very embarrassed.

So in this case, if you don't want to go whoring for nothing, do you still plan to be slaughtered?

But even though she cared a lot about this matter, or the "life map tree" mentioned by the other party last time, she was actually a busy person.

Just didn't wait a few seconds at all.

She can pretend to be like this, but she has given Andy a "special mark", as long as he is about to enter the palace, she can be notified.

I planned to do so, to somewhat soften the attitude of the other party.

Unexpectedly, he didn't accept this trick at all...

This was another small defeat. Counting what happened yesterday, he had already lost three times in a row in front of this person.

But she doesn't care about that.

Because of her bad background, she has failed many times over the years.

The frustration brought by this person in front of him is like scratching an itch.

So the blond boy took out a book instead and placed it on the stone table between the two of them.

"What should I call you sir?"

"Just call me a traitor."

"...?"

The boy flipped through the book for a moment, and then couldn't help but said, "This title seems a bit impolite?"

She was referring to being rude to herself.

But Andy answered the exact opposite.

"It's okay, because of your stepmother, people always call me that."

"...Okay, Mr. Rebel."

The boy said helplessly, "I am very sorry for the trouble our family has caused you."

"If an apology can solve the problem." Andy responded without receiving it at all: "What else do you need the law for?"

...Is he testing my patience?

The young man secretly wondered why Andy spoke so aggressively today, but on the surface he frowned and said, "So, what special thoughts do you have?"

"No, the empire is too powerful, and I dare not show any hostility in reality."

Having said that, seeing the expression on the young man's face softened a little, he added another sentence.

"I have no choice but to swear at people here and vent my grievances. You can't catch me anyway."

There was silence in the pavilion for a while, and the atmosphere was weird.

After quietly looking at each other for a while, the boy's expression became a smirk.

"So, the reason you contacted me was just to scold someone?"

She seemed a little annoyed.

"I did appear here by accident, there is no need to lie to you."

Andy replied, but then, as if he felt the other party's anger, he turned to look at the book on the table.

"what is this?"

The topic changed abruptly, as if he had never said those slightly hostile words just now.

"It's a history book." The blond boy replied with a sneer in his heart.

Her good temper now is just a disguise.

But it is impossible for the other party not to know that she is pretending.

The purpose, of course, is to reveal the urgent desire for the "Life Map Tree", which has reached the point of compromise.

However, if this "Mr. Anti-Thief" really thinks that this alone can easily blackmail him, then he is wrong.

She really needs the life map tree that the other party said, but she is not in a hurry.

The urgency shown right now is just to paralyze the opponent.

When the other party sees that he is becoming more and more anxious and easy to handle, who will be really anxious?

Is it her who seems to be in a hurry but is actually not at all?
Or is it the "Mr. Rebel" who can completely control everything when he sees success in sight and seems to be only a little bit away?
And as long as he was in a hurry and couldn't sit still, his current seemingly indifferent attitude would loosen one after another, revealing his feet unconsciously, and then everything would become very easy.

Show the enemy weakness, and then turn defeat into victory!
This trick is very useful, she is greedy for the name of the dragon, that's how she came.

"The last time I saw Mr. He seemed to be very familiar with history. When I read a book recently, I had some doubts, so..."

Thinking about things in her heart, on the surface, she maintained a gentle personality and patiently talked about her "hobbies" to the other party.

"What are the problems?" Andy asked along the other side.

"For example, the death of Albert III of the Lyukri Dynasty, according to historical records, he was a very powerful paladin, but since he was powerful, how could he die at the hands of his weak mistress?"

She was really interested in this question.

After all, the emperor pays more attention to all means that can be used to murder those in power.

And the "Mr. Anti-Thief" in front of him is still very unfamiliar, but since he can leave at will without being restricted by the rules of the Palace of Myths, it shows that in reality he must not be a simple person.

Coupled with the "digging of the pyramids" mentioned last time, the identity of an "archaeologist", it is a matter of course to know some historical secrets that others do not know.

This can also be regarded as "following what one likes".

However, in the face of this question, Andy's answer was completely beyond expectations.

"Because Albert III will not show weakness, or in other words, he is not proficient in showing weakness."

He said indifferently: "That's why he stupidly pushed his political opponents into a corner. He couldn't see the hope of using conventional methods to fight him. He could only use the barbaric and brutal method of assassination, which would kill him and cause endless troubles."

"..."

"In the military, such examples are not uncommon, and we can discuss it with a similar siege."

Ignoring the other party's expression like eating shit, Andy continued: "Everyone knows that siege is a simple and easy-to-understand war strategy. If it is used well, it can avoid a lot of casualties. But in practice, there are always cases of mistakes and omissions."

"Why? Because of greed, because of self-righteousness, because of arrogance and ignorance, because of arrogance, because..."

Blonde boy: "..."

……

The atmosphere of the conversation was harmonious.

In real time, it was already morning before I knew it.

When there are melodious bells ringing over the city.

Sister Lily, who didn't sleep last night, walked into the church with the letter in her arms.
