Brush up the favorability and turn the heroines into bosses

Mattia, who received the message and was sitting in the corner of the dinner party, breathed a sigh of relief and handed the phone to Remo and Julia who came over to him.

After Remo and Julia saw it, they did the same thing as Mattia and sat down limply on the ground in the garden.

"He, he's not dead."

Mattia, with a pale face, touched his chest, and he recalled the scene when he was almost killed instantly.

"Yes, fortunately Lord Angus didn't let us go."

As he spoke, Remo reached out and touched the finger marks left on his head.

"No wonder I still can't predict him."

Julia hugged her cracked crystal ball and buried her face in her knees.

If it weren't for Angos's scapegoat, they might have really died there.

Although the substitute doll cannot allow them to be "reborn" with a new body like Angus, it can block a fatal attack for them.

But even though they survived, the three of them still suffered from serious sequelae.

In addition to the physical scars, there are more mental scars.

Mattia, who is good at attacking and sneaking, began to study defensive magic. Remo, a melee tank-enhanced macho man, learned healing magic. Julia, who is good at fortune-telling, began to think about finding a side job.

After all, even a magician would be terrified once he experienced the feeling of death.

"Should we defect?"

Remo suddenly blurted out this sentence.

"Idiot, do you want to die? Where can we go if we run away? We will definitely be hunted down by the Hermits."

Mattia slaps Remo on the head.

"So you still want to fight that guy in there again?! We don't have any stand-in puppets now!"

Remo retorted unconvinced.

"Didn't you see that Lord Angus told us to just observe in secret? This time it was the lady of the ninth seat who took action. Maybe we can win this time. After all, she is the ninth seat."

Mattia tried to boost morale.

“My teenage dream was to open a restaurant…”

Julia hugged her knees and looked up at the night sky with nostalgia.

No one responded to Julia's words, and Mattia and Remo fell into silence.

The three of them squatted in the light outside the window, while the noble dinner was still going on behind them.

Chapter 97 The Duchess's Male Favorites

At the banquet, the nobles raised their glasses and talked elegantly.

The classical and melodious violin sounds echoed throughout the huge living room, and beautiful flowers and mellow red wine adorned the expensive long table.

Helett, wearing her new dress, sat in the corner, and around her sat the Duchess's harem.

It has to be said that even though he was surrounded by handsome men with elf ears, Black Light, the only one without elf ears, was still quite conspicuous at this moment. Compared with these handsome elf men, Black Light had a more masculine and restrained air.

These handsome men with elf ears who served as male favorites gathered together and did not speak to the nobles. They did not seem to like the nobles, nor did they seem to have any interest in the nobles' rights.

Likewise, no nobles would approach these male favorites, as they were worried that their status would be devalued.

Blacklett didn't care much about it. He sat in the same area with the handsome half-elf men.

After all, when he looked at the nobles, he saw a lot of attitudes like "the male favorite reserved by the Duchess", "the potion is good but it's just a socket", "I want to taste his abdominal muscles", "a prop to build good relationships", and "a toy for rich women".

The nobles all viewed Heilite in this way in their hearts. Heilite could not find a few nobles who really had a good impression of him. He had already been classified by the nobles into the ranks of "the Duchess's male favorites".

As for the handsome half-elf men, they simply felt "sympathy" because Blacklett was the one favored by the Duchess, and Blacklett had only met them a few times and was not very familiar with them.

So, Blacklett chose to sit with these handsome half-elf men. At least this way he didn't have to deal with the nobles.

However, this long dinner party didn’t seem to be over yet, and the Duchess hadn’t come out yet.

Black Light was bored, and at this moment he was thinking about a certain lazy girl.

If Weilin were here, he would definitely be lying on the table and working.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Hei Lai Te thought of Weilin. He thought that when he returned later, he would find a bag to pack the dishes on the table for Weilin.

Weilin eats so much that the daily food expenses are quite high.

Packing up the food from the banquet can save some food expenses, and the saved money can be used to buy some small gifts for Weilin.

Just as Blacklet was killing time, a loud voice came over.

"Master Helet! Come and have a drink with this Baron!"

Baron Weiss walked over with a goblet in his hand, smiling, without paying any attention to the fact that this was the Duchess's "male favorites" area.

Looking at the sunny and cheerful sixty-year-old muscular man in front of him, Hei Lai Te did not refuse him.

Even if all the nobles in Oakland City are sinister villains, Baron Weiss is the only one Blacklett can trust.

"Thank you, Baron."

After taking the water handed over by Baron Weiss, Blacklett clinked glasses with him and took a sip.

"Ahahahahaha, Master Helett, why aren't you joining everyone? Everyone is discussing the blessing of the flower exhibition. The Duchess is going to attend this time as a 'flower sacrifice', which is a big event."

Baron Weiss patted Blacklett's shoulder excitedly. As the defender of Oakland City, he was naturally very happy to see the city hold such a large-scale event.

The most important thing is that the Duchess, who usually doesn't take charge of things, is going to take the initiative to attend this time.

The nobles were now discussing whether the Duchess had finally decided to do something serious.

"Oh, 'Blessing Flower Show'."

Blacklett thought of the flower domes that enveloped the entire city, those ominous black buds above the city.

"That's right! It was the Duchess who founded the 'Auckland Blessing Flower Show'. The annual 'Blessing Flower Show' gathers many elf half-bloods. It's a big festival!"

Baron Weiss smiled and seemed to recall the grand occasion of the last Blessing Flower Show. Every Blessing Flower Show was considered a major festival in the city of Auckland.

Although other cities also hold "Blessing Flower Shows", they are only small festivals compared to Auckland.

The "Blessing Flower Show" in Auckland, which is supported by the Duchess, attracts tens of thousands of elf half-bloods every year. The nobles are naturally happy to see such a scene.

"That's it."

Blacklett, on the other hand, had little interest; he had also attended the Blessing Flower Show in Auckland.

However, last year Black Light did not see those ominous black buds, and Black Light secretly took some of them.

In addition to making potions these days, Black Light also took time to study those strange flower buds. For the time being, he is unable to determine what those black buds are.

"Master Heilite, are you still worried about the rebels who attacked you? Alas, I was careless that time. I wanted to escort you back, but you were attacked instead."

Seeing that Blacklet wasn't very interested, Baron Weiss thought that Blacklet was thinking about the attack.

"We haven't caught the rebels yet. They manage to evade our encirclement every time."

"But don't worry! Master Helett, I promise to catch those guys!"

"Every year when the 'Blessing Flower Show' is about to be held, there will always be a group of guys like this who come out to cause trouble! This year, the Duchess is hosting the 'Blessing Flower Show', and this Baron will definitely not let them ruin this festival!"

Baron Weiss patted his chest and assured Blacklett.

Looking at the status of "A Guilty Friend" above Baron Weiss's head, Blacklight smiled and waved his hand.

"This incident is not your fault, Baron Weiss. If anything, it's just my bad luck. I'm just a small potion master, and the other party didn't know who I was, so that's why the accident happened."

Blacklet didn't want to get involved in anything, whether it was the nobles or the elf half-bloods who were rebels.

When the sky falls, there will always be someone to hold it up. I am just a small potion master.

Now he was only at stage four and couldn't save any crisis. Black Light could only try his best to refine level five and level six potions in case of emergency.

This time's Blessing Flower Show, whether it was the ominous black buds or the elf hybrids that attacked the nobles, it all gave Black Light a feeling that a storm was about to come. Black Light had long wanted to take Butler Duke and Weilin away.

It’s a pity that the Duchess is his creditor and has always wanted to take him as her male concubine.

The Duchess would not let Black Light leave unless he could concoct more level five and level six potions, so that he could sneak away without worrying about angering the Duchess.

Therefore, Hei Lai Te is still quietly accumulating his strength to be prepared for any eventuality.

"Thank you! Master Blacklett, you don't need to comfort me. Don't worry, this baron will definitely protect the peace of our Auckland City!"

Baron Weiss thought that Blacklet was comforting him, and he was moved and hugged Blacklet.

The muscular body hit Blacklett like being hit by a truck. Although Weilin was also a little hard, she was definitely softer than Baron Weiss.

Helett wanted to go home.

Chapter 98: Elf Half-Blood Rebel

Baron Weiss left, sent away by his subordinates.

After all, he is a baron, and it would not be a good idea for him to hang out with his boss's male favorites.

Heilite is considered half of the Duchess's male favorite. It's okay to meet him in private, but it's not okay to hug Heilite at a party.

People who don't know might think that Baron Weiss, who is not interested in women, likes men. Although Heilite felt offended, he was angry for a while. He couldn't just fight with these nobles.

He was just a poor weak potion master who didn't even know a few magic spells.

But Blacklett still couldn't rest. Baron Weiss left, and this time the man with elf ears sat next to Blacklett.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Heilite. I heard your conversation just now. Were you involved in the attack before?"

The speaker was Silas, the half-elf who was licking the Duchess's feet in the bath.

After taking a look at the "Curiosity" on the other person's head, Hei Laite nodded.

"Yes, it was just a misunderstanding."

"Oh? But I heard that the magic used by those attackers was easily cracked. It was fourth-level magic. The nobles and the Holy Church were very careful to keep the other party's identity secret."

"Is that so? I'm not sure."

"Heilite, aren't you a potion master now? And the most talented potion master in Auckland City."
