"Level 5?"
Norn narrowed his eyes, and his platinum hair fluttered in the wind.
She held the rotten old man in her right hand, ready to use him as a meat shield at any time.
“Regarding Miss Sera and her classmates, I hope we can sit down and have a good negotiation. This is what the master and the lady want.
Even if you become the Auditor General of the Administrative Bureau, you are still a member of the Valerius family, and no one wants things to get too ugly."
Butler Orne also sensed the danger hidden in the dark, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "After all, this is about Miss Norn. You should be interested in it."
Dead silence…
Both Amber and the officers behind her understood the meaning of these words.
The Valerius family seemed to be threatening the minister.
The noble gentlemen's expressions changed for a moment, revealing an expression of enjoying a good show.
Norn frowned and tilted his head: "What?"
"Scurvy is a genetic disease inherited from the Frostian family. Once it breaks out, it will cause blood disease and produce toxins that are fatal to the body. When circulating in the body, it will damage various organs."
Steward Orn smiled and said, "At present, the only solution is to learn the metal magic of the Frostian family. By the way, this disease is very difficult for the Frostian family."
He raised a smile and added, "The incidence rate is 100%. And for those members of the tribe who don't master metal magic, the mortality rate is also 100%."
As he finished speaking, Norn's eyes became strange.
In the shadows in the corner, Novia's expression was also very strange.

At this moment, a pitch-black sniper rifle with scarlet patterns engraved on it was mounted on the bricks on the roof.
The pitch-black muzzle of the gun was looking down from above, pointing far below.
Li Xini locked onto the ground with the scope, and his dark eyes turned cold and fierce: "Scurvy? Interesting, are you threatening me with Norn? How dare you threaten me with Norn?"
He murmured, "And then you negotiate terms with me with the things you stole from me?"
This has crossed his bottom line.
The bottom line that cannot be touched.
He just stretched his hand into the void, and a gray mist appeared in the air out of nowhere.
Licinius groped for something in the mist and finally pulled out a golden, translucent bullet.
Annihilation bomb...
"Okay, if you threaten me, I'll smash your dog head..."
Although the scurvy of the Frostian family did shock him.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s not.
I have a sister...
And the teacher...
There are even three evil gods.
If you threaten me, I will crush you!
Licinius gritted his teeth and his eyes became fierce.
At this moment, a sigh sounded out of nowhere behind him.
"You used this thing, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will come looking for you?"
Someone stood behind him and said calmly, "Although I was not present at the battlefield of the ancient city of Hera, after the divine punishment, someone specially extracted the damaged soil from the battlefield and brought it back for research. I was fortunate enough to take a look at it, and it has exactly the same properties as what you are giving off."
Li Xini's pupils shrank slightly, and then he turned his head silently.
He was a man wearing a black windbreaker, with short, slightly messy blond hair. His face looked weathered, but he still looked handsome when he was young. His eyes were dark grey with a hint of deep fatigue.
The most important thing is that her facial features are 70% similar to that of the young lady.
Licinius raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Lord Constance?"
"It's our first meeting. Please take care of me."
Constance smiled slightly, looked at the boy carefully, and said with emotion: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe it. The second generation of the Night's Watch, the famous Owl, the legendary demon who annihilated thousands of troops alone, is actually just a 17-year-old boy."
"Uh..." Li Xini was silent for a second: "Teacher sold me out pretty well."
Although he expected that the gravekeeper would definitely exchange some of his information.
But I didn’t expect it to be sold out so thoroughly.
Constance spread out his hands and said with a smile: "If he didn't sell you out, how could he get something for nothing from me? Looking at the entire empire, there are only a handful of people who can take over the Administration from me."
He paused, "And you are obviously the most brutal of the bunch. I admire you for that."
Licinius said calmly, "Is that so?"
"Yes, after all, your astonishing record is here."
Constance sighed and said, "But what I admire most is that you conquered Luciemia and did something that no one else could do. That's really awesome..."
He raised his head towards the morning sun, his face full of doubt about life.
Li Xini was stunned: "Miss Lucimia's personality, is it okay?"
"Is it ok for you? Maybe."
Constance put her hands behind her back and sighed, "She wrote me a letter right after she left Norma City. She praised you highly in the letter and claimed that you were born to take over the Bureau. But I didn't know your identity at the time. I thought you were just an ordinary person and not suitable to stay in the Bureau. It was too dangerous."
The corner of his eye twitched, and he complained: "Then she actually told me to make myself into a holy relic and give it to you when I am about to die, so that your safety can be guaranteed."
Licinius: "..."
What a filial daughter!
"You are so filial. I have been curious about you since then."
Constance couldn't help but ask, "How on earth did you do that?"
Li Xini raised his eyebrows and hesitated for a second: "This is paid content."
Constance waved her hand and said, "Forget it. I don't have many years left anyway. I can see that Luciemia likes you very much, and I also recognize your character. You young people should handle your own affairs."
He turned around and his figure gradually disappeared into the shadows.
"I'll help you with this matter today, and you can ask Luciemia to handle this kind of thing for you later. But don't use the thing you just took out if you can, otherwise if His Majesty knows you're still alive, I'll be finished... I won't live for many more years anyway, so just be a human being."
Before leaving, he snapped his fingers.
With a snap…

Butler Orne narrowed his eyes and subconsciously raised his neck.
A dagger flashing with a cold light was placed across his neck at some point, and a cold and damp breath came from behind him, as if an evil ghost was clinging to his back, and murderous intent was quietly spreading.
Not only him, but all the nobles as well, had vague outlines appearing in the shadows behind them.
The sleeve arrows were pressing against their backs, and they felt cold all over.
"Shadow Servant..."
Novia crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes.
Behind her, there was also someone trying to put a dagger against her back.
However, under the control of her metal magic, the dagger trembled and made a trembling sound.
This is a top-secret guard team trained by the Bureau of Control, or the Church of Creed.
It's like a real shadow, appearing and disappearing mysteriously.
The only mission is to protect the safety of the Director of the Administration Bureau.
Of course, only the director of the command bureau is qualified to transfer them.
"We are here just to convey one thing."
The shadows spoke in unison, countless voices overlapping, eerie and spooky: "Any action of the Inspection Department is authorized by Lord Constance. Whether it is the Valerius family or other nobles, if you have any opinions, I suggest you go directly to His Majesty instead of causing trouble here."
They paused. "As for negotiations? Are you planning to openly bribe the officials of the Administration?"
Steward Ornn was silent.
Now he is in a dilemma.
The former is the order from the family, and the latter is the pressure from the Governing Bureau.
The nobles were even paler and trembling with fear.
Amber breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the teacher has come forward, there should be no problem with this matter.
"Uncle Orne."
Novia suddenly said, "Since Lady Constance has said so, why don't you go back first. I know Licinius' character very well. He is probably angry. If you continue to irritate him, it will only backfire. Why don't I stay here and have a good talk with him and learn about the situation at the same time."
In the darkness, the man who tried to hold her hostage with a dagger kept trying to control his weapon.
But the metal vibrated so fast that it almost numbed his wrist.
At that moment, the shadows realized one thing.
It turns out that the most terrifying person present was this silver-haired girl!
Ornn thought about it and realized that the eldest lady was the only person in the world who mastered metal magic.
Having her here is indeed better than having him as the housekeeper.
Maybe the boy could be made aware of the interests involved and compromise with the family.
"Then I'll leave it to you, young lady."
He raised his hands to show that he surrendered, then stepped back and walked onto the street.
Then turned and left.
The nobles looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.
"Why don't you get out of here?" Novia said coldly.
How could the noble lords dare to disobey the young lady? They could only look at the door of the Administration Bureau in disgrace and leave in disgrace with the middle-aged butler.
In an instant, the shadow servants disappeared from the spot, as if they had never appeared.
"Amber..."
At this time, Li Xini's voice suddenly sounded: "Bring my sister up."
Noren touched the communication mirror in his pocket and tilted his head.
Amber was stunned for a moment, then looked at the silver-haired beauty at the door and said, "Please come in, Miss Novia."
Novia raised her carefully painted eyebrows, quite surprised.
It's been such a short time since we last met, and yet that guy has managed to get to such a position in the Control Bureau
o
o
There was a bang in the office on the fourth floor.
The door is closed...
Novia walked in through the door and saw the silver-haired boy behind the desk at first sight.
"Are you here?"
Licinius put his hands behind his head and draped his long legs casually over the edge of the table, his boots dangling.
He was humming an unknown tune with a lazy attitude.
Novia narrowed her beautiful eyes and said without further ado: "What's wrong with you? Ever since you returned to the capital, the family has been looking for you everywhere. Even I don't know where you are. Why did you appear again? You became the director of the Inspection Department of the Administration Bureau and arrested your schoolmate Sera?"
