"He's just a nephew, not his biological son." Vernon curled his lips disdainfully, "Even if he is Philip's biological son, he would never dare to say 'no'."
"Okay, I listen to you. When this is done, the entire city will fall under our control. I want to get back all the properties that Andel has looted and embezzled!"
Vernon took a sip of wine and thought to himself: Boy, don't let us down.
······
Chris returned to the vineyard and deduced the method of poisoning in his room.
In just two hours, he had completely mastered it.
"Ha, childish!" Chris sneered.
I originally thought that the three great earls of the White Tiger Kingdom came to me as white gloves, which was somewhat of a sophisticated plan.
I didn't expect that the method they used to murder Andel was so low-level.
He really gave them a high look.
Chris uncorked the poison bottle, put it to his nose and sniffed.
Although it is indeed colorless and odorless, it has a very weird feeling.
Even my third-level self could detect something unusual, let alone Ander, the sixth-level magician.
Chris had no intention of poisoning Andel, but he could show it to Vernon and others.
When the two sides are facing each other tit for tat, it is the time for me to take a stab at it.
Chris lay back on the crib and began to rest.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, he came to Vernon's house.
"Holden, why are you here?" At this time, Vernon was lying in the yard enjoying a massage from the maid. When he saw Chris, he was quite surprised.
Chris glanced at him, and Vernon reacted and turned away the maid next to him.
"Sir, I have learned the poisoning techniques you taught me."
Vernon's eyes widened and he was a little surprised: "So fast?"
"That damn fat man sent someone to whip me in front of dozens of people and trampled on my dignity. I wanted to cut him into pieces!" Chris said bitterly, "So I stayed up all night just to kill this guy.
Technique Society.”
Vernon smiled secretly in his heart. Just as he expected, this illegitimate son of a nobleman was very sensitive to dignity.
For others, it is normal for high-status nobles to whip low-level nobles for making mistakes.
But Holden felt that he had lost face and was blinded by hatred.
For revenge, you can do anything.
Of course, the conditions offered by Vernon were also very tempting, and they also played an important part, allowing Holden to take risks.
"Here, give me a demonstration and let me see if there is anything that can be improved." After saying that, Vernon took Chris into the restaurant and picked up two cups.
Chris showed the poisoning process extremely smoothly and without any flaws.
Vernon had a look of surprise on his face. If he hadn't known the principle in advance, he wouldn't have noticed Chris' little trick at all.
In just one night, Chris was already so good that Vernon couldn't find any faults.
Vernon said with admiration: "You did a great job!"
"Sir, when are we going to do it?" Chris asked expectantly, "I can't wait to kill that old fat man."
"Now is not the time, let's wait a few more days." Vernon waved his hand, "Don't come to us for the next two days, so as not to make Andel wary."
"Yes." Chris clenched his fists, looking eager to try, "I'm on standby at any time."
"Okay!" Vernon patted Chris on the shoulder, "You go back first and wait for our news."
Chris nodded solemnly, turned and left.
Watching his retreating figure, Vernon chuckled and murmured: "What a nice little guy, what a pity."
······
Five days passed in a flash, and Chris still didn't wait for Vernon's notification.
"Sir, do you think they are scared?" Philip paced back and forth in the hall.
Chris peeled off an orange and put it in his mouth, and said: "The reason why they can still sit still is mainly because there is no conflict of interest. Although there will be friction between the knights of the two countries in the city, there is actually no conflict.
There are no serious casualties, and they have no motive to take action for the time being."
"Then what should we do, keep fighting with them?" Now Philip has completely boarded Chris's pirate ship, so he always thinks on this side.
Chris patted his butt and stood up with a deep look in his eyes: "It's time to take out the sixth-order dragon core."
The market price of a sixth-level dragon core is 50,000 gold coins, which is a considerable sum even for an earl, and Vernon and the others cannot help but be tempted.
I'm afraid that all their gains from this development order are not as good as the skin of this dragon core.
"Okay." Philip was also a little excited, with a slight flush on his face, "Then I will host a banquet for the nobles of the two countries tomorrow, and then I will present the precious dragon core to Andel at the banquet. What do you think?"
Chris nodded and said: "Yes, but the number needs to be controlled. There can be no more than ten people from each country."
If there are too many people, the situation will get out of control.
Philip continued to ask: "Are there any other requirements?"
Chris lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Secretly reveal some information to the two countries, just say it is my atonement feast. This will appear more reasonable. If they think about it a little, they will think that you want me to know more about you."
More nobles will pave the way for the future, so that there will be no other ideas."
"Okay." Philip kept Chris's words in mind.
"Also, tell Andel that Vernon asked me to poison him."
······
The next day, the servants of the Viscount Mansion got busy early in the morning and began to kill cattle and sheep.
Dozens of figures were running back and forth, making it look very lively.
Philip sent someone to send out the invitations. In addition to the three earls, Andel and Vernon, he also selected many distinguished nobles. The one thing they have in common is that they are all at the peak of the fourth level.
Life in the closed city is boring, and attending a banquet is also a good entertainment activity, so everyone who was invited came.
Because there were a large number of people, Philip placed the long dining table in the courtyard.
Not long after, delicacies were brought to the table one after another.
Andel sat on the main seat, Philip on his left, and behind him were the nobles of the Shadow Leopard Kingdom.
The people from the White Tiger Kingdom lined up on Andel's right.
"Horton" had no title and was the lowest status among the people present, so he was placed at the end of the long table, in the farthest corner.
At noon, the banquet started and the atmosphere was very lively.
No matter what kind of conflicts the nobles of the two countries have behind the scenes, at least they are still harmonious on the surface.
After two glasses of wine, Philip's cheeks turned red. He came close to Andel and said drunkenly: "Master Andel, please come over this time. I have a treasure I want to give you."
