Quadruple split.

Chapter 366 The Night is Young (I)

"what do you want?"

Grand Duke Baroka pushed the half can of spirits left at hand to Mo Tan, shrugged his shoulders: "I'm sorry, I don't have any extra cups, but I really want to drink some with you now, Dabs gentlemen."

"It's easy to talk~" Mo Tan laughed, and casually took out a colored crystal bowl from the high-end suite of the Liuli Pavilion with the LOGO of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce on it. The strong wine was brought to his mouth and he drank it completely, then smiled without changing his face: "I want a lot."

Baroka looked at the polite 'poet' in amazement. He never expected that the half-elf brother would be so stubborn. Not only did he drink as he said, but he also drank half a bowl of [Gong Huo Lie], which is difficult for ordinary dwarves to bear. He still acted as if nothing happened, obviously, if he were someone else, he might have already been stunned by now, but this guy smacked his lips unsatisfied, and his eyes towards [Gong Huolie] gradually became hotter

This wine is worth more than an equal weight of gold coins, how can it stand such an animal drinking method!

It’s fine if the other party knows how to drink, but Anthony Dabus, who is like pouring water, is obviously not a qualified alcoholic, so Grand Duke Baroca dragged back the wine jar, smiled awkwardly and politely: “It’s okay, I want to drink wine. Say what you want slowly."

At this moment, Mo Tan, who has already stacked eight layers of [Drunk] DEBUFF on his body, first glanced at the remaining [Gong Huolie] with 'reluctance', and then nodded slightly: "First of all, please allow me to confirm you one last time. On Judgment Day, Mr. Vernon, will you vote for sanction or observation?"

In fact, even though the system forcibly offset part of the alcohol that can knock ordinary people down, Mo Tan is still in a state of intense discomfort, his head and eyelids have become extremely heavy, and his abdomen has a burning wrenching pain. The pain, and the extremely choking smell of alcohol between his lips and teeth almost made him suffocate. Not only that, his senses became much duller than usual, and it was difficult to concentrate...

But these are not insurmountable problems. For some people who can perfectly control their body and mind, before the alcohol intake reaches a series of irresistible physiological thresholds such as fainting and vomiting blood, they are in a normal state. It is true that these people will also feel all kinds of discomfort, will also have all kinds of impulses that they do not usually have, and will also have difficulty controlling their expressions and movements, but strong enough willpower can make them feel better. They behaved as usual, this kind of thing is not uncommon in reality, usually translated as 'dead support' or 'hard-fitting'.

Hold it up, pretend to be like a cow.

If you reveal your secrets and get out of control, you are just stupid.

And at this moment, how far could Mo Tan possibly last?

To put it simply, in this game where he can't drink stomach bleeding or faint, and can only continue to add strong discomfort, he can probably overwhelm three heavy-drinking men like Grand Duke Baroka by himself.

Although this will make Mo Tan very, very uncomfortable, but as long as he wants, he can still continue to toast with you with a normal face.

All in all, although he took advantage of his status as a player, Mo Tan, who currently has a personality of 'chaotic neutral', really deserves the word 'cow' when it comes to drinking.

It's not 'able to drink', but 'able to last', and if it can last to a certain level, the effect will be no different from that of 'able to drink'.

"Sanctions."

Grand Duke Baroka gave the answer without hesitation, poked a piece of half-cooked barbecue with bloodshot eyes on it, stuffed it into his mouth, and snorted softly: "Before, I just saw that the Marshall family was unhappy, but now... oh, let that kind of people It is too dangerous to live well, whether it is dangerous to the empire, to my Baroka family or to those innocent civilians, so even if you don't come today, my decision will not change."

This answer was not beyond Mo Tan's expectations, so he just nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "Who is the person Marshall sent to look for you? When did he come?"

"It should have been when the sun just set." Baluoka stroked his stubble, and said in a sullen voice, "That is a half-orc man with no characteristics. He is of leopard blood, very thin, and speaks a common language. Speaking very standard, he conveyed to me the conditions given by the Marshall family, and then left without saying a word."

【It's really strange...】

Mo Tan frowned slightly, and found something unnatural.

One of the more obvious points is that the person who represented the Marshall family to the Grand Duke Baroka only conveyed the conditions, but did not say anything more about it, even though the Grand Duke Baroka had already implicitly stated that the Marshall family The conditions put forward are very generous, but for Vernon Baroka, who was confronted with him in the Hall of Purple Nine before, it is not easy to produce some decisive results just by making some conditions like this. Although Mo Tan is confident, he does not take it seriously. Other people have a bad habit of being an idiot. He feels that since he and Futaba can see that Vernon Baroca is much more delicate than he shows, there is no reason for Buffy, who is also the Grand Duke and has a deep city, to look at it. not come out.

If the Grand Duke Baroka is indeed the same as he showed, then there is really nothing wrong with the behavior of the previous messenger, because it is obviously impossible to reach an agreement, but...

"I'm also curious as to why Buffy didn't try to get me as much as possible."

Grand Duke Baroka saw that Mo Tan suddenly began to lower his head and ponder, so he took the initiative to fill in the doubts in his heart for the other party: "This is abnormal."

【not only that. 】

Mo Tan nodded calmly, but his thoughts drifted to another matter, which was the 'representative' himself who came to find Duke Baroka.

You must know that Marshall is currently under house arrest, not to mention Cassie, who was sent by Futaba to monitor the Mercury Court, and even the royal family sent a large number of hidden guards to monitor nearby. Normally speaking, under such circumstances, Ba Fimarshall can only passively wait for other lords to come to him to 'negotiate' according to the rules, instead of sending envoys to convey his intentions and conditions to others, because he can't do it at all.

But there really is an envoy here...

The tablet girl who was less than [-] meters did not remind herself that someone had left Mercury Court tonight.

Various intelligences also showed that there were no players among the entourage that Buffy Marshall rushed to Salamune, so it was impossible for him to find someone to run errands for him through channels such as friend news.

Through the previous information exchange with Futaba, it can be confirmed that the Marshall family does have a magic item capable of remote communication, but the one in Mercury Court has been taken away.

So this leads to three possibilities...

First, Buffy Marshall possesses some kind of unknown secret technique, which allows him to contact the outside world without the help of props and players. Mo Tan himself really has some clues about this aspect, but it is actually hard to make sense , because Futaba said that when she proposed to change Marshall's group to the Red Garden so that they could not use that magic device to transmit information, the Grand Duke really panicked. If he had backup means, he should have Much more relaxed.

Second, during the period between when the investigation team reported back the results and when Sack Frith appeared to testify in the Hall of Purple Nine, Marshall, who was temporarily released from house arrest, got a set of communication equipment again as quickly as possible, so even if Futaba will The one in the Mercury Court walked away and it didn't prevent him from contacting others, but Motan hadn't entered the game at that time, and it was impossible for Buffy Marshall to predict that the situation would evolve to this level today, and in order to show his innocence, he did not ... At least on the surface, no one under his command was sent to meet him in Salamune, so the possibility is not very great.

Thirdly, he got a helper, a helper who is not affiliated with the Marshall family but who knows enough about the situation. The latter first rushed to Mercury City before Idong and the members of the investigation team and leaked the news without anyone knowing. The situation caused Futaba's desperate plan to fall short, and then secretly rushed to Salamune to meet with Buffy Marshall. After that, she has been lurking in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity, ready to reverse the situation at any time.

Maybe it's a person, maybe it's a group, but it shouldn't be the 'Viper' that Sack belongs to...

Assuming this is true, then the other party should have been bumped into by me once when he was acting.

He/she or they once tried to assassinate Futaba, but failed under my interference...

That bucket-waisted aunt carrying a bread basket really has a problem...

If it is an organization, what is their ultimate purpose?How many people are there including the orc aunt who lives in the noble district?
If it's a person, is this guy male or female?Is it an NPC or a player?Why can I become an orc aunt, but also an ordinary half-orc who is mediocre in all aspects?Well, the possibility of employment is not ruled out, maybe I have never shown up... Also, is the reason for the spoiler is some mission or interest?Or is it similar to the Marshall family?
[There are very few clues, and there are so many possibilities... Hehe, it's really getting more and more fun. 】

Mo Tan subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth, and the corner of his mouth outlined an arc of excitement and joy, which startled Grand Duke Baroka, and His Excellency thought that this guy was confused by the backlash of [Gong Huolie] It's over.

Noticing the other party's gaze, Mo Tan immediately withdrew his flamboyant smile, and did not share what he thought of just now with Grand Duke Baroka, but nodded in agreement: "It is indeed a bit abnormal, and Buffy Marshall was killed It's the same thing about sending someone to look for you after house arrest..."

"I'm a little puzzled, too."

Grand Duke Baroka scratched the back of his neck and recalled: "But the man told me bluntly that he has a special channel to contact that bastard Buffy, maybe through some special prop or messenger?"

【I am more inclined to confuse the audiovisual, to confuse the audiovisual of the uncle who is about to come to you...】

"You are right."

Mo Tan nodded in disagreement, and then continued to ask: "Do you know anything about Dantès, Fernand, and the Simon family? It's more in-depth... er, it's best not to go too deep. kind."

More in-depth, not too in-depth?

Grand Duke Baroka, who didn't realize how dirty the guy in front of him was, was stunned for a moment, and then he put the vegetables on the grill with a bitter face while muttering: "I can probably guess what you want to ask, we Although there are many intersections among these lords, I really don’t know much about other people in this generation except for the little girl Ameline, um, relatively speaking..."

Then he explained the situation of the Dantes, Fernand, and Simon families to Mo Tan as carefully as possible. Although most of them overlapped with what Futaba investigated, Mo Tan was still very satisfied. .

He knew that the current patriarch of the Dantis family was of the same generation as Emperor Klein, and his biological younger sister was one of Clever's three wives, the biological mother of the crown prince of the Violet Empire, Ribo Bryceen, but the real queen He passed away due to an unfortunate accident more than ten years ago. This incident made the Grand Duke Dantès heartbroken, his blond hair turned gray overnight, and then he fell seriously ill, until a few years ago It was barely considered a recovery, but the physical condition was not as good as before.

The Dantès family is a staunch royalist, and has the best friendship with the Violet family, especially the generation of the Grand Duke Dantès and Emperor Clever, which can be seen from the unprecedented intermarriage of the two families.

According to Baroca's conclusion, in view of the unspoken rule of the royal family's "sanction" and "wait and see" in the trial, Dantès' choice can basically be equated with the will of the royal family, although the will of the royal family is important in this country. It's not that heavy.

Mo Tan also knew that although Archduke Simon looked four or five hundred years old at least, his real age was only in his early forties, and he was simply a gentleman in the group of dark elves. The Grand Duke, who is so serious that he is almost rigid, is surprisingly 'precocious'. He is calm, self-disciplined, and meticulous. He is loyal to the empire, the code, and the family. He is a very good person in all aspects, but...

Ximu Simon is also a classmate of Buffy Marshall. When they were young (mainly Marshall, strictly speaking, Archduke Simon has not passed through his infancy), they studied at the same institution of higher learning in Salamune, because they have the same identity and status , the two naturally became friends, and they were inseparable in those few years. Although the intersection gradually decreased after leaving the academy, Grand Duke Baroka did not think that their friendship disappeared like this, even if Grand Duke Simon was in the The Hall of Purple Nine also said the word 'guilty'.

As for Mercury Duke Fernand...

Grand Duke Baroka curled his lips in disdain, and snorted contemptuously...

"Just a coward."
