Quadruple split.

Chapter 271 Experiments
"On the sidelines..."

Clever nodded noncommittally, his eyes still focused on the page in front of him, and he said casually, "Tell me about your thinking, Ruibo."

"It's like this, Father." Ruibo turned sideways, using his tall body to shield Clever from the slightly dazzling sunlight, and said with a smile: "I personally think that whether the Marshall family really did Slave hunting is actually not important, at least it is not important to our Violet royal family, so there is no need for us to get involved in this muddy water."

Clever nodded slightly, but did not give affirmation or denial. He just turned to the next page of the book of poems in his hand: "Keep talking, I'm listening."

"For thousands of years, the kingly way of our Violet family has been moderation and checks and balances, so we have always maintained a detached position." Ruibo smiled proudly, and looked up at the Violet family crest on the clock tower in the courtyard: "We have always As the helm of the empire is above the other eight lords, with all due respect, the royal family is not much stronger than other families in terms of territory, financial resources or military strength, but they all fear us and are willing to unite around the Violet banner , at least on the surface, it will not disobey any of our decisions."

The old emperor smiled: "So you mean, as always?"

"That's right, my royal father, as always." Ribo Blaisen nodded and shrugged: "Marshall, Crystal Wolf, Baroka, Hussein, Fernand, Dantes, Simon, let's talk again Adding a fire claw, these eight surnames have been fighting openly and secretly since the day the empire was established, sometimes within the rules of the game, sometimes outside the rules of the game. Violet doesn't matter, everyone knows that without us the empire will fall apart, so they mostly don't give us trouble, because the empire must have a 'flag', a flag that stands firm."

Clever's eyes still did not leave the book of poems: "What position?"

"There is no position." Ruibo casually folded off a bunch of violets at his feet, and gently plucked a petal from it: "Our position is to have no position, firmly have no position, and only in this way will the lords Be wary or hostile to the royal family, only in this way can they continue to regard the Violet family as kings with peace of mind, in principle..."

Clever sighed softly, and slowly put down the collection of poems in his hand: "You seem to have something in your words."

Ruibo smiled, and threw away the petal: "Father is wise, I do have other ideas, but that's for later. For now, just watching from the sidelines is enough."

"Okay, then this time it's hard work for you to go to Marshall on behalf of the royal family." The old emperor nodded a little tiredly, and told his eldest son like an ordinary father: "Remember to pay attention to safety on the road. .”

"Father, don't worry."

"I will send Zijing to protect you secretly, anyway, there will be no danger on my side."

"Father, you can't..."

"It's okay, I still have Bauhinia by my side, just go and come back quickly."

"Yes."

"By the way, where's your brother?"

Ruibo's expression froze for a moment, but when he looked up at Clever, he turned into a dumbfounded look: "God knows where that kid Ash went, he was still there at dinner this morning. Come on, the person disappeared as soon as he turned his head, Father, do you have something to do with him?"

"It's okay~" Clever shook his head, and touched his nose helplessly: "I originally wanted him to go to Marshall with the investigation team to pick him up. You know how lazy Xiaoxiu is usually. The consciousness and sense of responsibility for the royal family are far worse than yours, Ruibo, you volunteered this time because you want to protect him, right?"

The old emperor looked at his eldest son with suspicion suddenly.

"Ha, Father, you think too much~"

Ruibo gave a dry laugh, shook his head and said, "I just think it's more appropriate for me to follow. If I had known that you planned to let Axiu go... well, or I'll go and catch him right now. What you said before Just pretend I didn't say it?"

"No, let's do it like this." Clever shook his head, a hint of doting flashed in his eyes: "Even if the kid goes, he probably won't be serious about doing things, and it won't be good if he causes any trouble. He's as smart as he is smart." , It’s just that temper is really a headache.”

Ruibo spread his hands: "Ah Xiu has that kind of character, I guess in a few years..."

"It won't change in decades~"

A lazy voice came from not far behind. Clever and Ruibo looked back, and saw a young man in a white robe walking towards this side. It was the subject of their current topic. core.

The second son of Clever, the second prince of the Violet Empire—Shubresne.

He is a young man in his mid-twenties by visual inspection. He can vaguely see the shadow of Clever in appearance, but his lines are much softer. He is about half a head shorter than Ruibo, and his figure is a bit thin. The light golden long hair was draped unkemptly behind him, and coupled with the moon-white robe, this prince, who was not at all majestic, looked more like a scholar or an artist, or the kind of .

"You two were talking bad about me just now, weren't you?"

Xiubresien walked in front of the two, his sky blue eyes were full of scrutiny and dissatisfaction: "Is there no better topic to talk about?"

"Ahem, Axiu, you must be polite in front of your father." Ruibo glared at the former angrily, and reprimanded him in a low voice.

"Brother, you are too serious~"

However, Xiu shook his head indifferently, grabbed his brother's shoulders, and raised his chin at Clever: "Father will not mind this kind of thing at all~"

Ruibo looked at Clever innocently, and said with a wry smile: "Father, look at his virtue..."

"It's okay." Clever shook his head with a smile, patted the other side of himself, and said to Xiu with a smile, "Sit here."

The latter, however, casually copied the book of poems in Clever's hand, strolled over to the flower bed next to him and sat down: "Let me read this, you two can continue to talk about business."

The old emperor rolled his eyes: "Didn't you already take it away?"

Ruibo rolled his eyes even bigger: "Father and I have nothing to talk about other than scolding you."

"That's it." Xiu Rao sighed, then spread the collection of poems on his knees, and covered his ears with his hands: "Okay, now I can't hear, you can continue."

Ruibo and his father exchanged a helpless look, and then stood up: "Then I will go to the investigation team to show up, and then I will go to the Watermark Court to ask Mr. Levin for a 'evidence', and I will come back later Say goodbye to you."

Clever nodded slightly: "Purple Mirror."

A figure wearing a mirror mask slowly emerged from the air: "Yes."

"Protect Ruibo."

"Yes, let's go, Your Royal Highness."

"Then I will take my leave first, father."

"Ah."

five minutes later
Clever and the second prince Xiu were the only ones left in the garden.

"Xiaoxiu, what do you think?"

The old emperor, who had closed his eyes and rested for a while, suddenly asked, "It's about the Marshall family's capture and trade of slaves."

"I do not know."

Xiutou, who was buried in the book, replied without looking up.

Clever glared at him angrily and amusedly: "Then what role do you think the royal family should play in this incident?"

"Honestly, Father." The young prince by the flower bed raised his head reluctantly, and said to Clever very seriously, "You should discuss this matter with your brother."

The old emperor said calmly: "I have already discussed it with him."

The second prince was also calm and calm: "Oh, then listen to him and watch from the sidelines."

"Huh?" Clever froze for a moment, then frowned and asked his little son, "How long have you been here?"

Xiu stood up weakly, and leaned against the flower bed with his arms folded: "I just came, Father, didn't you watch me come in from outside."

"Then your brother's opinion..."

"I can just guess."

Xiu curled his lips, flipping through the collection of poems at an almost nonsensical speed, and said: "If you insist on me saying a few words that are not nutritious, that's fine. I think there is a problem with the Marshall family, but it's not yet the time to need it." When we make a decision, so it’s just as good as it is.”

Emperor Clever walked in front of Xiu slowly: "Is this your opinion?"

The latter shrugged: "These are just two words of nonsense."

Clever continued to ask: "Then when we need to make a decision, what should we do?"

Xiu casually handed back the collection of poems to the other party: "Then we will make a decision, Father."

"This book is for you..."

"No, I'm done watching~"

"Where are you going?"

"Put on makeup and go out to relax~"

……

Game time PM14:14
King's capital Saramune, north gate

"Hehe~ finally arrived at the station, this journey is really fleeting~"

A half-elf man dressed as a bard spread his hands exaggeratedly and sighed loudly, and then was slapped by the tall woman standing beside him and turned around three times.

"Hey, I didn't use any force at all just now, okay?" Shalia, no, it should be Ms. Remilia Scarlet who frowned and pulled someone up from the ground, and whispered angrily: " Obviously you said to keep a low profile as much as possible!"

As a result, Mo Tan didn't let go of his claws after getting up, but instead tightly grasped the opponent's little hand, and said affectionately: "I can't help it~"

"Let go." Remilia looked at him coldly, her tone was as cold as ever, "Or I'll kill you."

【Cut, is this level of stimulation completely useless...】

Mo Tan murmured something in his heart, then suddenly leaned into the other party's ear, and sang softly with a soft and magnetic voice: "When you talk about today's troubles~ when you say it's late at night and you can't sleep~ I want to tell you~ But I’m afraid I’ll say the wrong thing~ I like you so much~ Do you know~?”

Click!

Remilia exerted a little force on her right hand, directly grabbing 17% of Mo Tan's health: "I don't know."

【Well, if I treat her as shy now and hypnotize myself to have achieved my goal, will it look particularly stupid? 】

Mo Tan pulled out a smiling face that was not much better than crying, and then leaned into the ear of the bloodseeker lady in front of him and whispered: "This journey is so fast."

Click!

Mo Tan's HP dropped another 10%.

"It's all because of you, this journey is slow to death." Remilia glared at Mo Tan fiercely, and threatened in a low voice: "If you don't let go, I will..."

"A very famous sage with a particularly high hairline once said~"

Mo Tan quickly interrupted the other party, staring at Remilia's eyes with burning eyes, and gently lifted a strand of hair on the other party's forehead with the other unbroken hand: "If you are with the person you like Together, the time will pass relatively faster, to be honest, I still have the illusion that I just met you for less than two minutes~"

[If it doesn't work, immediately kneel down and apologize! 】

Mo Tan secretly made up his mind.

then……

He found that the pressure on his hand suddenly eased, and then he saw Remilia's pretty face gradually turn red, and the coldness in her eyes dissipated, replaced by a trance.

"Let go of your hands first, okay..."

The same request, but the tone has become completely different from before.

【Oh, I knew it~】

Mo Tan thought triumphantly that his mentality was completely different from that of a person who was planning how to kneel down two seconds ago to look better, and then quickly let go of the other party's little hand that almost pinched him to death, and smiled: "Sorry, I was the one who wasted~"

"Ok?"

"I mean, I was being abrupt~"

Remilia turned her head unnaturally, and gently tugged Mo Tan's cuff: "Anyway, let's go first, we've been stuck here...it's so weird."

"There should be a Liuli Pavilion opened by the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce in the trade area." Mo Tan blinked, and then put a bag full of gold coins in the other party's hand: "You go and book two rooms first, and I will go to find you later."

Remilia subconsciously picked up the bag of gold coins, and then asked blankly, "What about you?"

"I still have something to do~"

Mo Tan deftly knelt on the ground and straightened the skirt corners for the former, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Remember to order the most expensive one for yourself, and the cheapest one for the other, and then you can go shopping nearby. Go shopping, those people should not chase here."

Remilia hesitated: "But I..."

"Don't save me money~"

Mo Tan uttered a very fashionable line.

Remilia pursed her lips in displeasure, then let go of Motan's cuff, and asked hesitantly, "Then what are you going for...can you tell me?"

"Of course~"

Mo Tan grinned, then poured himself a bottle of life potion with a high alcohol content, wiped his mouth: "I want to find my old friend here."

The surrounding air seems to freeze for a few seconds...

Then Mo Tan was slapped and swung out.

"farewell."

Remilia, whose temperament has returned to 'normal', said with a sneer.

【Today's experiment was also very successful~】

Mo Tan, who was lying on the ground in a large font, also showed a happy smile.
