Chapter 305 Temporary cooperation without sincerity
"If the next heir to Bartholomew dies here, it will be a huge loss to the magic world."
After the violent magic subsided, Lorelai stared at Mikael who appeared in front of her on the scorched earth, her lips pursed slightly and she said nothing.
"And you, long time no see, my old friend Badr, time has left too many marks on your body."
Mikael greeted the old man familiarly, as if he were a real old friend reunited after a long absence, and his words were full of emotion.
"Barthemero never makes friends with Dead Apostles."
Bader subconsciously stood in front of Lorelei, assuming a guarded posture, like an old lion protecting its cubs. He stared at Mikael, not letting go of any of his tiny movements.
"That's a shame. In fact, we could have become friends."
Mikael sighed softly. The old man in front of him was also an acquaintance of his.
But with the help of the Dead Apostle's excellent recovery ability, he ended up making money, and left a curse on Balder. As long as he didn't die, the curse would never fade away.
"Stop saying false words. I know your true nature very well."
Badr shook his head, not relaxing at all because of Mikael's words.
"Don't worry, I come here with sincerity, because we have a common goal."
Mikael's gaze crossed over Baldur and fell on Lorelei, meeting her gaze.
"The fruit of Fu Hailin is needed for the crown, and I am his assistant. What you are looking for is the merits of defeating Fu Hailin. I think the future head of Barthemero's family should be very clear about the relationship between us.
There is no conflict.”
"So what's the cost?"
Lorelai stood up and did not hide behind Badr, but chose to face Mikael face to face. No matter from any aspect, she had no reason to shrink or be afraid.
"I heard that Lord Animusfia, no, it should be [The Fool]'s gift has been marked with a price from the beginning."
"Of course, I believe in the principle of equal exchange, but that's just for strangers and business partners. If they are friends, I will not be stingy about lending a helping hand."
"Barthemero and the Dead Apostles were never friends."
Lorelai said expressionlessly, her voice as cold as ever.
"But Bartholomew and Animusfia are friends. Our aristocratic factions are of the same spirit, and a small prejudice cannot shake the deep friendship between us."
Mikael said with a smile, not caring at all about Bartholomew's indifference. Lorelei's every move was within his expectations. If she suddenly became enthusiastic about him, it would be really troublesome.
"Inolai once told me at a tea party that she was very optimistic about the future head of the family of Barsemero and believed that she would bring Barsemero to new glory."
Lorelai subconsciously ignored the words "the aristocratic factions are in the same spirit". Although she has not officially inherited the position of the head of the family, she has now begun to be exposed to the affairs of the clock tower, and naturally knows El-Melloi
Being divided up.
Bartholomew also gained a lot of money from it. He didn't even care that El-Melloi was their companion. He didn't even shed crocodile tears, but just waved his knife and fork to enjoy his meal.
What she cares more about is the Inolai mentioned in Mikael's words. She is very familiar with the monarch Balueretta. When she conquers Fu Hailin, some people will definitely expect her to die here. The old
Women are definitely one of them.
Thinking of this, her face became more serious. Her life did not entirely belong to her. If she really died here, it would be a severe blow to Barthemero's prestige.
The covetous democratic factions will not give up any opportunity to shake Barthemero's rule.
After thinking for a moment, she soon had the answer.
"If this is the case, Barthemero will not refuse the help of his friends."
Lorelai stretched out her hand to Mikael.
"Then, happy working together, my lady."
Michael smiled and held Lorelai's tender hand, nodding slightly.
"As a friend, you can always count on me."

"That guy Anasio is very angry, but he is still so vital after being so seriously injured. Plants really have a unique advantage in terms of vitality."
Mei Lian looked at the Fu Hailin where the demon tree had grown again, and then focused on Mikael.
"Have you already secured the heir of Bartholomew?"
"It can't be said that we have solved it, it's just that everyone has the same interests and demands. Magicians are the most difficult type of people to deal with, and they are also the easiest type of people to deal with."
Mei Lian nodded slightly, not commenting on what Mikael said. After experiencing a long life, he also has a deep understanding of human nature.
Although magicians can control mysteries, they have not escaped from the human realm.
"Hurry up and get rid of Fu Hailin. It's not like you don't know what Luo Jie'an asked me to do. I'm also very curious about who dares to steal things on the Magic Eye Collection Train."
"If this is the case, I think I should be able to help you."
"you--?"
Mikael looked at Mei Lian suspiciously, but he was relieved when he thought that he could use the church's intelligence. He had to admit that the church's intelligence work indeed surpassed that of the Magic Association.
"I will send you the specific information when I get back. Speaking of which, that guy is inseparable from the [Fools]."
"I suddenly became a little interested."
Mikael stretched himself out, suddenly remembered something, and stared at Mei Lian strangely.
"But having said that, although I am your assistant, you are just standing here without exerting any strength. Is this really reasonable? You will be punished for squeezing your partners like this."
"Although I am very helpful, Anaxiu and I are really not compatible with each other."
Mei Lian sighed softly, showing a helpless look.
"You can do it without any effort, but you have to pay more."
"How much more?"
"Twice it, after all, I'm not a devil."
"*Death Apostle swears*——!"
Facing Mikael's lion with his mouth wide open, Mei Lian sighed deeply again, looking at Fu Hailin with a look that contained some personal grudges.
"Appear, King of the Continent."
Following his soft call, the earth trembled violently, and one of the four magical beasts that [Crown] relied on came to the eternal world.
