I really don't want to cross

Chapter 401 is about to be revealed
"what do you mean……"

Pei Lisha's pretty face was full of suspicion. It's not that she didn't understand what Wood said, but because the whole mansion didn't have any other large spaces except a few basements for storing ingredients.And the sum of those storage rooms can only hide less than a hundred people.

"It's not difficult for mages to open a tunnel to get here from the outside. What I'm curious about is... which king's successor did your second uncle find to be his backer?"

"The king chooses the successor?"

A unanimous exclamation came, and Pei Lisa looked at Wood with a look of surprise: "My lord, you are saying that a certain heir to the king is secretly helping the second uncle."

"If the king chooses a successor, wouldn't that position be as honorable as Emilia's?"

It's not that Natsuki Subaru is here for the first time, because of Emilia, he also has a certain understanding of Wang Xuan.

"So... isn't our current situation very bad?"

The status of the chosen heirs of the Kingdom of Lugnica can be said to be extremely noble, and except for Emilia, a half-elf who is rejected by others, the rest of the chosen heirs have a solid background.

If there is really a successor chosen by the king to help Bernard behind his back, then their current situation...is simply too bad.

"If it is really the chosen heir of the king who is the backer of that Bernard, what chance do we have?"

Nayue Subaru smiled wryly, and now he regrets his decision more and more. If it wasn't because Pei Lisa was standing aside, he really wanted to ask Wood... It's too late to regret it now.

"It depends on how much the other party values ​​the Milode family."

"My lord, are you sure that there is a king's chosen heir behind my second uncle?" Pei Lisha was still a little unbelievable, she couldn't figure it out...how her second uncle hugged the big tree of the king's chosen heir.

"Eight and nine are not far from ten."

Wood picked up the water glass and took a sip, and said unhurriedly: "It will allow him to become the Patriarch without Roswaal's approval, and the backer who will not be afraid of being settled by Roswaal after becoming the Patriarch, the entire Lugnica There are not many kingdoms."

"As for who..." Wood paused, and glanced at the nervous Natsuki Subaru beside him: "Emilia can be excluded directly, so there is no such thing as you think."

Subaru Natsuki breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, if this action was planned by Emilia and Roswaal... Just thinking about it would make Subaru Natsuki's hands and feet a little cold.

"You can also exclude the Duke of the capital, so there are only two left, and among these two, I am more inclined to the chairman of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce." He paused, looked at the front of him. Pei Lisha smiled slightly and said: "Businessmen are greedy. For businessmen, as long as they can benefit themselves, they will never take into account the so-called face."

"What's more, it can also add obstacles to one's opponents. Generally speaking, this business...is very profitable."

"Hexin Chamber of Commerce?"

A strange look flashed in Pei Lisha's eyes, but then she returned to normal.

But this scene did not hide from Wood, who had been watching Pei Lisa all the time. Seeing this scene, the smile on his face became more intense, and he said instead: "I have said everything that needs to be said, Miss Pei Lisa, should you go too?" Get ready, I think..."

"Those of your partners should have broken out of the siege by now."

As soon as Wood said these words, the air suddenly became serious. The back of Pei Lisa in front of him suddenly became stiff, and her big eyes were occupied by horror and fear.

Nayuki Subaru also noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and kept looking between Wood and Pei Lisa.

Pei Lisha hid her hands behind her back, with a stiff smile on her face: "I don't understand what you mean, my lord."

"I'm not interested in how you find a partner." Wood said coldly: "But if you want to become the next Patriarch, please cooperate with me now, first tell me about your third uncle's partner, How many are from your side?"

Hearing this, Pei Lisha was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I really can't hide it from my lord, but I may disappoint you. Among the nobles who cooperated with Sanbo, only one of them has a cooperative relationship with me. They sent The total number of people is less than 30, and this is still... the case where one person is not lost due to luck."

"enough."

Wood nodded. Although he found out that Lisa was connected to Pat's camp through the previous monitoring of the bat, he didn't know exactly how many people could use it. But since there are people...then it will be much easier .

"If you want to be the next Patriarch, let your people find a way to change the route and follow the route I arranged."

Wood told the specific route to Lisa, and Lisa turned around and left the compound located deep in the mansion.

"What about us?"

Nayue Subaru looked at the back of Pei Lisa leaving, walked to Wood and said, "It's impossible to sit here all the time, right? Although I don't know much about this, but if you command the battle, why do you have to observe the scene?"

"It's time to sleep."

Wood shrugged his shoulders, and said with an innocent face: "We are just witnesses. What happened here has nothing to do with us. If we go out and run around now, if we are misunderstood, how unfair it is? I don't want to offend the honorable king's heir. By."

"...No, just judging from your previous arrangement, you are already not qualified to say the word 'misunderstood'?" Nayuki Subaru rolled his eyes.

Wood ignored him.

"As for observing..."

Before the words were finished, there was a slight fluttering sound from the sky above the courtyard, and a small bat the size of half a palm landed directly on Wood's shoulder, and rubbed its small head on Wood's cheek affectionately.

Wood rubbed the bat's little head with his fingers.

"The entire city of Rasmeze has been under my observation!"

As Wood said, he was not prepared to directly participate in the battle of the Milode family, and he didn't even do anything extra. He just used his eyes and ears to push gently behind the back, but after pushing development of……

It will be carried out in accordance with Natsuki Subaru's decision.

but……

Wood glanced at Natsuki Subaru out of the corner of his eye, and there was that... extremely wicked smile on his face.

I am looking forward to Subaru Natsuki's reaction tomorrow morning more and more.

……
-

Of course... a day or two is definitely not enough...
