Lord: I have a skill talent tree

When he learned that [The Deceiver] had escaped, Ethan's heart suddenly went cold.

The reception banquet originally held for Nolan also ended hastily.

Sofia noticed that Ethan was in a bad mood at the banquet, and came to Ethan to ask about the situation as soon as the banquet was over.

Ethan could only tell him the truth.

After hearing this, Sophia had an extremely strange expression on her face.

"He told you that he escaped a month ago?"

"That's right." Ethan nodded and replied.

"He's lying!" Sophia said with certainty: "If I guessed correctly, [The Deceiver] had already escaped before Beidi sent troops this time.

In other words, the person disappeared two months ago.

I used to find it strange why Beidi stood up to help us so clearly. It turned out to be to compensate us. "

After hearing Sophia's analysis, Ethan's face instantly turned cold.

He slammed the table, smashing it into powder, and then roared: "This bastard wants to kill me!

He ran away and at least notified me. Unexpectedly, he hid and kept silent. "

Sophia smiled bitterly: "Actually, it's understandable, if you were the Grand Duke of the North, you would do the same thing.

After all, a sage's rebellion and the [Deceiver] escaping from under his nose are not only a matter of embarrassment for the Grand Duke of the North, but may also shake the morale of the army.

It's normal for him to have concerns.

Now that they have obtained enough benefits from the Aslan Empire and other countries, this news does not seem so important. "

Ethan’s face turned even darker: “Oh, he has profit needs, so he can put my family in danger?

Is it possible that I still need to understand him? "

"Okay! Nothing happened!" Sophia sat in Ethan's arms and comforted Ethan while saying, "Don't worry about it anymore. Since the thing has happened, there is no point in worrying about it.

Now it is wise to think about how to deal with it.

In fact, I think it is not without benefit to us that the Grand Duke of the North has done this.

Haven't you always wanted to issue banknotes?

I always felt that the time was not right before, but now is a good opportunity.

Since they are unkind, you can also be unjust.

Inform them directly, because they put you in danger and have no allyship at all, and you have no information about their orcs.

Once they've suffered an orc attack, they'll know how important you are.

At that time, it is the time to ask for the right to mint coins! "

After hearing Sophia's plan, Ethan's right eyelid twitched, took Sophia from his arms to the sofa, then stood up and said:

"Let's talk about this later! I have to deal with that Aflian now, she can't stay any longer."

After saying that, Ethan turned and left.

Looking at Ethan's leaving figure, Sophia felt mixed feelings in her heart.

He murmured to himself: "If you don't want to threaten the Duke with information from the North, just tell him and leave like this. What do you mean?

Dissatisfied with me?

What does the life and death of the Northlanders have to do with you?

When the Duke of the North tricked you, he didn't blink an eye. What's the point of sticking to that useless principle? "

…

Turing Manor.

basement.

The lights here are dim and silent.

Ethan walked slowly down the stairs alone. When he reached the bottom, he turned left and walked deeper into the corridor.

When we reached the end, we were faced with a plain wall.

But this ordinary wall was guarded by two soldiers. When they saw Ethan, they immediately stood up and gave a military salute.

Ethan nodded towards the soldier: "Open the door!"

The two soldiers did not do as they were told, but said: "Lord! That...hand card!"

Ethan then remembered that this was a rule he had made himself. If he wanted to enter, he must have a special hand card and a secret code, but he came in a hurry and did not bring it with him.

However, he did not embarrass the guard, but asked an eagle to bring him a hand card.

After handing the cards in his hand to the guard, Ethan said: "The earth shakes the mountains, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful for eternity."

The guard took out a page from the desk with various secret symbols on it. He first compared the cards in his hand with the symbols on the paper one by one.

After confirming that it was correct, he said: "The door faces the sea, and the water of the three rivers flows for thousands of years. "

After saying that, the two began to divide the work, pulling out or pressing the masonry on the wall.

After a dazzling operation, the wall mechanism was activated and began to slowly separate, revealing a room of about 200 square meters inside.

Then he saw a graceful female elf lying on a comfortable big bed in the corner reading a book.

Yes, of course this female elf is Aflian.

Ethan has been keeping her here since he brought her back.

Although Ethan's reason for capturing her was to torture her for information, in fact, since he captured her, not to mention torture, since Turing Manor has a magic-forbidden barrier, she has not even been shackled.

Ethan didn't even see her once, he just kept her under house arrest.

In addition to not being shackled, she was fed and fed every day, and now she has gained a lot of weight.

He even worried that she would be bored and prepared many books for her to relieve her boredom.

These books are carefully selected by Ethan.

For example: "The Domineering Duke Falls in Love with Me and Presses Me Against the Wall Roughly", "The Emperor Has Only One Son for Ten Generations, and I Gave Him Four Children in One Pregnancy", "My Newly Married Husband Is Infertile, But I'm Pregnant", "The Young Lady Is Rebellious, and the Prince Obediently Submits" and other books that can corrupt people's hearts.

And these books seem to have a certain effect.

When Afulian saw the door open, she looked up at the door and found a bearded man coming in. She frowned slightly.

When she realized that it was Ethan, she immediately retracted her gaze and continued to read her book, as if the person at the door was not as interesting as the book she was reading.

However, no matter how indifferent she pretended to be, Ethan could still clearly feel her heartbeat speeding up.

Ethan did not reveal Afulian's little thoughts, and walked in slowly with a smile on his face.

Then, he pulled a chair and sat by the bed, without saying a word, and just looked at Afulian quietly.

Due to the light, Ethan's body was half in the light and half in the dark at this time.

His face was the same, with the middle line of his face as the boundary, the left side was bright, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The right side was hidden in the darkness, and no details could be seen at all, just like his thoughts were unpredictable.

At first, Afren was calm and composed about Ethan's arrival, and read her book leisurely.

But as time went by, Ethan didn't speak again, and she felt something was wrong, and finally began to feel a little overwhelmed.

However, she still pretended to be calm, slowly put down the book in her hand, and then asked with a smile: "Can I discuss with you?"

Ethan smiled: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and you want to discuss with me as soon as we meet. What tricks do you have?

Well... But, okay! You tell me, I'll listen to it."

"I don't have any tricks!" Afren pursed her lips and pretended to be cute: "I just want to sleep with you, which means mating with you.

I'll serve you well, and then you spare my life!"
