The Duke of South Carneton has a bad reputation, but after all, he is also a Duke and an important military minister.
Climbing to his house and using it properly should be very beneficial to his future development...
And Cornelia is really healthy!
After drinking the sparkling wine in the goblet, Earl Lindsay combed his hair and walked to Cornelia with confident steps, bowing gracefully:
"Beautiful lady, can I ask you to do a dance after the opening?"
Cornelia's star eyes flickered, and she replied with a little shyness: "Yes... But can I ask you one thing first?"
"A gentleman will not refuse an invitation from a lady."
"Then ask Lord Count to help me bring this glass of wine to Master Charles!"
She pushed the cocktail she had just prepared towards Earl Lindsay.
"?"
Earl Lindsay cracked.
At the Imperial Ball, if a woman is embarrassed to directly invite a man to dance, she can give a hint of wine, and the other party will say yes after drinking it.
So this wave is probably equivalent to confessing to the girl you like, and then she asks you to send a love letter to the official school curator.
Earl Lindsay wants to throw the cup and leave.
"Sorry, my lord, it was me who took the liberty."
Cornelia lowered her head next, pointed her finger, and whispered pitifully, "Tonight, so many excellent girls are watching Master Charles, I know I'm very self-sufficient and will definitely be rejected, but I still want to try it… "
Earl Lindsay's heart to lick the dog suddenly became restless, and he raised the glass of wine: "I have a way to make him drink it."
Cornelia raised her head in surprise, covered her mouth, and refused: "This is too presumptuous, I really don't need to trouble you!"
"It's a gentleman's promise."
Lindsay turned resolutely towards Roger.
If there was a test magic slapped on Nelia's face, you'd be able to hear:
The power of tea, 9 dan!
…
…
the other end of the venue.
Little Joey met a few classmates from the Imperial Academy of Magic. Roger let her go to catch up with the old days. He continued to eat and drink as the young master of the Charles family and the Marquis of La Capas, waiting for the ball to start.
He didn't like this extravagant and relaxed atmosphere, but he couldn't say he hated it.
That's it, don't behave badly, just embarrass your sister.
There was a noble girl who had an appointment to dance or bring wine, and he made an excuse to refuse: "Although I really want to drink, I was shot in the liver during the battle, and I still need time to warm up."
Although it is a bad excuse, it is always gentler than a clear rejection, and a girl can only accept it with regret.
Then Earl Lindsay stepped forward.
He held a glass of champagne in his right hand and a cocktail in his left hand to Roger, with a graceful manner: "It's an honor to meet you, Master Roger."
Roger nodded with a smile and said skillfully, "Although I really want to..."
"Let's not play this set. You've been shot in the liver, and you can be cured with the financial resources of the Charles family."
Earl Lindsay lowered his voice and said, "I know a top-secret news that is not good for the Right Chancellor, so I can only tell my friends."
In his hand, the sky blue, like a cocktail with layers of clouds rolling, he handed it to Roger again.
Roger blinked, as if the guy was saying, drinking is a friend
He knew this person. In the game's plot, he was an intelligence dealer who was wandering in the gray area. On the surface, he was greedy for money and lust, but he could be regarded as a die-hard loyalist to the empire.
Moreover, this venue also has a magic array to detect harmful substances. Even if you play the routine of "non-toxic substances combined are highly toxic", it is impossible to harm the imperial nobles.
What's more, you have the heart of the ocean, so drinking a glass of wine won't kill you, right
"My friend's wine, even if my liver bursts out, I have to taste it!"
Roger took the glass, took a sip, and looked at Earl Lindsay.
Earl Lindsay said in a low voice: "Some people don't want to see the state farm promoted by the Right Prime Minister, they want her to take some time off..."
While clinking glasses, he handed a note to Roger.
This was originally meant to be a message to be passed on to Nightingale, but it could be used to fulfill a wish for Cornelia.
I just hope that this young master is smart enough not to cause trouble.
…
…
At the other end, Cornelia seemed to be chatting with her best friends, but out of the corner of the eye kept looking in Roger's direction.
Seeing Earl Lindsay come forward and talk a few words, he really made him raise his glass, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She played with a small ruby adorning her dress, watching it turn orange and stop when it was nearly yellow.
"This is a junior magician, about to break through the strength of the intermediate level... So Master Charles is born with strong spiritual power, which caused his father to be injured, but his body magic power is very low?"
Cornelia was stunned.
Poisoning can't be done at the dance, but it's easy to cast some hidden magic tests that won't hurt the body.
For example, the magic phenol pulp mixture she chose this time is a colorless and odorless potion that can display the target magic power level after taking it.
This is not a combat method, but a method to confirm the apprentice's strength. It is slow to take effect, troublesome to take, and expensive. The advantage is that it is accurate enough.
She jotted the message down, thinking back to the long, tedious task list she got.
After this step there are several alternative branches...
[If the target's strength is below the legend, the news will be made public, and the authenticity will be confirmed through the reaction of the nobles]
"Isn't that too cautious? That's the highest precision magic phenol pulp of 500 gold coins! Do you need a second confirmation?"
Cornelia frowned, thinking that the person who wrote this task might be seriously ill!
But there was no way. Last night, she was eager to get a "personally customized" magic makeup set, and without reading the agreement, she accidentally signed a very dangerous soul contract.
If you do not meet the requirements of the other party, your soul will be taken away and burned in the flames for a thousand years!
This is too terrifying, and the task is not difficult, and it seems that it will not directly hurt anyone, so she is ready to try to complete it first.
It took a lot of thought to let Roger drink, but then to spread the news, you just need to pretend to leak it accidentally.
And don't let anyone doubt yourself.
…
…
bathroom.
A young man with blond hair rushed into the compartment, but he didn't finish the task of emptying his intestines for a long time, his face was flushed and he was very bored.
Suddenly he saw some fragments in the trash, which didn't look like toilet paper.
Subconsciously used a trick "reduction technique".
"Magic test... The tester, Roger Charles, the result is a junior magician, the time is... today? No testing agency?"
The blond young man frowned. Isn't this guy a super strong man who suppressed the orc coalition alone
How come this test shows that he is a junior magician and then destroys it
Is someone playing a prank
Or information to be withheld
Soon after, the blond youth returned to the venue refreshed.
When he saw his sister, he winked and said, "Penny, I just heard something, don't tell anyone!"
…
…
Ten minutes later, more than fifty nobles knew that Roger Charles was only a junior magician.
Although there is no evidence, there are quite a few people who are willing to believe it!
This is in line with the image of the trash brother!
"So, he lied about his strength and committed the crime of deceiving the king, and he must be punished by His Majesty!"
A group of nobles decided to ask for their orders. They will ask for orders when His Majesty arrives. The liar must pay the price!
Some people think that Roger is too handsome today, some people think that the Charles family is favored, some people are affected by the changes in the empire, some people think that Roger has tarnished the purity of the military, and some people simply don't like lies...
Of course, there are some wise people who think that the Queen of Eternal Night is not ignorant of Roger's true strength.
But they still secretly pushed the mood of the begging faction.
Because the nobles are estranged from the Queen of Eternal Night, and Roger is a close minister of the Queen of Eternal Night, someone is going to kill the chicken to show the monkeys, so that the Queen of Eternal Night should not be too much, I am afraid the scene will be ugly!
