Chapter 84 Eavesdropping
The entourage of the imperial envoy was mighty and mighty, including 24 guard knights and personal soldiers of the royal court, [-] attendants and maidservants, [-] carriages and coachmen, etc.From the perspective of scale alone, it is not an exaggeration to say that the army is going on an expedition.For this reason, Earl Snake directly booked the entire hotel for his own people to rest. As for the expenses, of course, the White Lion family had to pay for it.

The team of nearly a hundred people almost filled the hotel's rooms, but the special suite area was still only open to Earl Snake.His personal soldiers guarded both sides of the stairs, and sentry guards were placed downstairs and on the roof to isolate his room separately.

In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, these meticulous security measures are superfluous. This is the inner city of the White Lion family territory, and its own defense force has reached the level of a legion fortress, which is definitely not accessible to ordinary people.Just outside the hotel, two teams of elite city defense troops blocked the front and back streets.Under such circumstances, if Earl Snake still had to act cautiously, it would either appear that he was as cowardly as a mouse, or it would be an insult and contempt to the dignity of the White Lion family.

But there is an old saying that the strongest city walls are broken from within... As the vassal of the young lord Antonio, Tiana herself has the right to pass through the inner city. With the help of her inner ghost , El went all the way into the room next to Earl Snake's bedroom.

After the waiter bowed his head and bid farewell, the noble girl closed the door, and the phantom on her body shattered like glass, revealing the blood-red scary spider scars on her face.

"Since you can use magic makeup, why not keep looking pretty all the time?" El asked curiously.

"False illusions can deceive others, but they can't deceive themselves." Tiana put on her veil and said calmly, "What's more, appearance is not important to me now."

"This sounds too fake...and how do you know it's not important? If I were the lord, I would be inclined towards Her Royal Highness the Holy Nun in my heart." El said jokingly: "On the one hand, chatter There is a mysterious witch who is nagging and disfigured, and on the other side is a beautiful, pure and cute little princess, as long as it is a man, he will have a bias in his heart."

"Who told you that the Holy Nun is beautiful, pure and lovely?" Tiana cried out in embarrassment.

"Isn't it the purple one you rescued on the day of the earthquake... I saw her on the battlefield, tsk tsk, in fact, she is not as beautiful as you used to be. It's just that kind of seductive purple shrouded in sacred light, which most men see I can't hold it at all." El recalled the scene on the battlefield during the day, and couldn't help sighing.

"Don't look at her hiding behind that female knight, she looks very low-key and inconspicuous. If she really wants to seduce a man, she only needs one look."

"Then did she have a look that hooked you?" Tiana stared at El and asked, gnashing her teeth.

"I'm far enough away..." El laughed, "But your lord is inseparable from her."

"Antonio is a young hero, not as unbearable as you imagined... I am not here to discuss sex with you!" Tiana snorted coldly, and changed the subject abruptly.

"Come on, who else can be seduced by you besides me..." Seeing the girl's unkind expression, El swallowed the second half of the sentence wisely.He shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I'm listening, the Earl just finished his dinner."

A special suite in a hotel must have wall panels made of high-end materials with good sound insulation, but this is only for ordinary people.For El, who has strengthened his five senses, this obstacle is not a problem at all.Even if the room is really soundproof, he can still use the eye of true seeing to see through, and use lip reading to judge the content of their conversation.

Naturally, Tiana's hearing cannot be as abnormal as El's, but as a magician, she is proficient in various tricks, so it is not difficult to monitor.

The girl sat down, took out her teapot and boiled water in a leisurely manner.She skillfully arranged the tea set, scalded one side with hot water, picked up one of the thin porcelain teacups, tapped the teacup with both hands quickly, and arranged a small and exquisite magic circle.

She fastened the teacup to the wall of the next room, and murmured a spell in a low voice. After she let go, the teacup rested firmly on the wall, and the voice from the next room could be heard clearly from inside.

"Although there are no high-end chefs here, the food itself has a special flavor."

Earl Snake put down his knife and fork, wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"The north is originally a barren land, without much cultural accumulation. But because of this, the meat quality of wild animals in the mountains has a more pure and natural taste than the animals raised in captivity in the southern woodlands."

Master Stephen, who was sitting across the table, answered the question.

"Natural taste? That's right, this kind of wild natural meat flavor is basically unavailable in the south." Earl Snake nodded with emotion: "Human civilization has been improving, and the standards for food identification are also increasing. Sophisticated. At present, the living standard in the northern region has not been fully developed, and people’s understanding of food is still at the most basic stage. If you have the opportunity, I recommend you to taste Valtron’s cuisine, the kind of dancing on the tip of the tongue It is haunting, as charming as your beauty, Miss Laurana."

"Walter... Lun? Please forgive me for my lack of knowledge and ignorance, Mr. Imperial Envoy." The merchant girl subconsciously fiddled with the tips of her long orange-red hair, with a flattered expression on her face: "If there is a chance, I will definitely go Yes, but the teacher always said that my ability is not enough to be a teacher..."

"Miss Laurana, don't be restrained, you can call me Snake directly. Yes, it's understandable that old people are always hesitant...but young people should also have their own pursuits, this is not contradictory." Earl Snake said Lifting his glass, he smiled and gestured to the girl: "Do you know why Master Stephen became friends with me? When he was young like you, he had a great and noble pursuit of ideals. It was in that great, noble Under his ideal, many people with the same pursuit as him came together, including me, and we gathered together to accomplish a great cause.”

"A great cause?" Laurana raised her head curiously, her eyes sparkling, "What kind of pursuit is that?"

"Your teacher hasn't told you yet?" Earl Snake glanced at Stephen in surprise, who shook his head and remained silent.

"Hehe, your teacher really dotes on you so much that he doesn't want you to bear the burden of responsibility." Earl Snake laughed twice, and suddenly became serious when he saw the girl's expression: "But I think what he did Too conservative, you are now an adult in terms of age and psychology. And for an adult, she should have the right to choose. Laurana, I ask you now, as an adult, do you have What about the courage to face the reality of the world?"

"I... I don't know." Under Earl Snake's serious eyes, Laurana shrank her neck and looked at her teacher with some fear.

"You choose yourself." Stephen said expressionlessly.

"Can I choose not to listen?" Laurana asked innocently, blinking her eyes.

In the next room, Tiana had already made tea, and when she heard this, her hands trembled and she almost dropped her teapot to the ground.

what happened?This is completely out of routine!
You don't want to listen to all the impassioned and incendiary speeches that have been said?
Earl Snake's face was as ugly as if he had eaten a stool, and all the speeches he had prepared were blocked back, but seeing the girl's terrified expression, he couldn't accuse her of being cowardly.After all, what she was asked to choose came from her own mouth, and now she has chosen, but it is not the expected option.

"It's okay, I think you need time to think about it."

The atmosphere on the dining table froze for a long time, and Earl Snake's expression finally eased, and he put on a considerate expression, and said to Laurana gently and cordially.

"I'm sorry, Earl Snake, but this is too sudden." Laurana's face turned pale with fright, and she was secretly relieved when Earl Snake's face improved, and said aggrievedly: "The truth of the world What, I haven't learned it yet, the teacher just talked about the solid-liquid transformation of fine gold particles in a high-temperature environment..."

"I understand..." Earl Snake rubbed his temples, nodded and said, "It seems that I need to talk to your teacher first."
