The Devil Inside

After the second "Gathering of Brave Men", each brave man received his own task. Other brave men already had their goals and were preparing to attack their opponents.

When it was Leila's turn, there weren't many demon kings left.

In the game, Leila chooses to go to the ancient country to deal with the original demon king.

There was also a Thieves Guild in the ancient country. The local chief of staff was an accomplice of the evil, and was in cahoots with the Demon King Yuanshi, which really caused a lot of trouble.

at the moment.

If Viola helps, setting up the game in advance seems to be feasible.

He asked, "Can you be the chief of staff of the Ancient Kingdom?"

Viola was puzzled: "If it's about abdication, there's no problem. The geographical restrictions only apply to the 'Martial Arts Trial' and 'Mandatory Impeachment'. It's a normal power transition, and there's no limit on the scope. As long as the person is recognized by the Lady of the Night, he can do it."

"Chief of Staff of the Ancient Kingdom, I can get it for you."

—Why the Ancient Country? "

Viola frowned.

The Ancient Kingdom is the kingdom of the Demon King, adjacent to the Black Abyss. All the major human kingdoms on the continent have imposed sanctions on it.

The economy and culture were completely blocked, and Viola had only a vague understanding of them, only knowing that they seemed very backward.

Han Solo smiled and said, "You know, I'm working hard for my teammate Leila. If successful, we should go on an adventure to the Ancient Kingdom."

"Is it?"

The information about the teammate auditions is the biggest news right now. Viola had heard about it in the capital before and knew about it a long time ago.

She asked, "Do you need my help with the auditions?"

"With the help of the 'Noble Shadow', it should be easy to capture him."

Han Solo didn't refuse.

Viola pulled away and stopped leaning on his arm. She continued, "In addition, regarding the 'Third Time Device', I got some information. If nothing unexpected happens, it is in the possession of a man named 'Leon'."

""...·who?"

"It's normal that you don't know him. He's not very famous now. You should be familiar with Her Highness Masina. That Li Ang is Her Highness Masina's personal attendant."

No.

It’s not that I don’t know him, I know him too well.

Leon is the "future teammate of Lyra". Han Solo has operated him, so his quality is pretty good.

The next few days were uneventful.

Han Solo originally thought that he would be able to set off in two or three days, but when he actually started to deal with it, he realized that the game was still too simple.

After confirming that he was with Rachel, the Darkwood family's staff stepped in to evaluate Han Solo's plan.

This phase was smooth, but not so smooth.

The plan Han Solo came up with is still too sci-fi.

The plan was extremely detailed step by step. Darkwood's staff were stunned when they saw it. It was like a memoir written by a person from the future rather than a plan.

They said it would take some time to verify.

At another meeting a week later, the staff members were all as frightened as cicadas, and the way they looked at Han Solo was already filled with... confusion.

The audition points task will be assigned by the audition committee.

This work began to be planned the moment Leila became a hero.

Collect the monsters that are active in Zethria and have caused great damage to life and production activities, count the vicious villains that have not yet been arrested, and some others that the authorities believe require a lot of manpower and financial resources to solve.

But it's not an urgent trouble.

In a word, it's white.

It is unknown what the specific tasks are and how to solve them by utilizing Leila's appeal and wasting the manpower and resources of adventurers to seek the welfare of the people of Zethlia.

Han Solo's plan, including the planning for the tasks related to Whispering Winds Plains, is detailed and realistic.

After analysis and analysis, the Darkwood family found that following his ideas could really solve the problem and quickly gain 100 points.

The leading elder asked: "Mr. Han, I have a question——

District 3, Rachel's villa.

The huge conference room was brightly lit, and the long table was filled with people. Rachel and Han Solo sat side by side at the front seat, and the staff from the Darkwood family, wearing snow-white cloaks, stood on both sides.

Han Solo looked at the old man at hand: "Excuse me."

"When did you start preparing for all this?"

"The selection of heroes is not common, but the routine is very simple, which is to use Leila's fame to attract adventurers to solve domestic problems. I am not the only one who made preparations in advance. Other knowledgeable people have also made similar operations."

The old man felt a little ashamed: "This is our negligence-"

Darkwood secretly investigated Han Solo.

Nothing can be found, but it is inevitable that there is an organization behind him. Such a person cannot be without affiliation.

His swordsmanship is proof of this.

Based on analysis of recent events, Han Solo and Monica may have known each other for a long time and they are too close.

"Your plan is enough to prove everything. We agree that you should go to Sturgeon Town to look for opportunities. All expenses for this trip, including the ships going out to sea, will be provided by the Darkwood family. You don't have to worry about the money. In addition, we will also form a puppet team in the Whispering Wind Plain according to your arrangement, led by elite backbones, as a second-hand preparation."

The old man looked at Han Solo.

He changed the subject and continued, "But there is a problem here that needs to be discussed in advance. If you and the Puppet Team advance together, can the Puppet Team become your competitor?"

Han Solo frowned immediately.

"snort.

The Flower Sword Saint woke up, she heard the old man's words, and snorted coldly in Rachel's mind.

With a hint of joking, she said, "Rachel, your family's support for you is not strong - are you going to say something?"

Rachel sat next to Han Solo, silent.

There are some things that she doesn't not understand, she just doesn't want to think about them.

As soon as you think, you get hurt.

"I don't know."

There was silence before Han Solo spoke.

He leaned back in his chair and looked around at everyone: "Whose idea is this? Is it the will of the Marquis, or someone else's idea?"

The old man was used to big storms and was not afraid of the stage: "Mr. Han, we are just here for insurance."

"Listen carefully. If both teams pass the audition and enter the next stage, then the puppet team should create opportunities for us to win, rather than become a stumbling block. I don't understand why you ask such an amateur question. I can only understand that the Darkwood family is not a good partner. You are not united internally.

Opinions are divided. ”

Han Solo is done pretending.

He looked directly at the old man at hand, giving him a sense of pressure: "Or do some of you think that someone else is more suitable to be Leila's teammate than Rachel?"

"Misunderstanding. We will of course fully support Miss Rachel. The reason we asked this is just to confirm in advance. There is no other meaning."

So sharp!

The old man was sweating and breathing deeply.

This kid really doesn't give any face when he speaks. He is indeed young.

As soon as they open their mouths, they reveal internal division. Who can bear such a big hat being put on them?

The key is...

There are indeed different opinions within Darkwood.

The Marquis has many children, many of whom are talented. The identity of a brave teammate can easily gain recognition from the public, and it is a great opportunity to become famous.

Once achieved, it will be of great help in possible future disputes over the title.

Therefore, it is impossible not to fight.

A while ago, Rachel seemed to have had an adventure. What exactly happened was kept secret by those in the know, and the Marquis himself issued a gag order. It was rumored to be related to the "Sword Saint inheritance."

As soon as the news came out, the Darkwood family was the first to be shaken.

There are also rumors that the Marquis personally visited a famous sword collector and exchanged his old face for a sword.

Rachel is wearing the rapier "Dragon Bird"

In addition, Rachel is in good luck and has the support of a noble person, and she is about to become Leila's teammate.

The accumulation of so many "coincidences" really makes people anxious, especially Dutch Darkwood, the heir who had the greatest chance of becoming the heir to the title. He is so anxious that he can't sleep or eat.

The first female Marquis of Zethlia...

Is it really going to appear?

Don't want that kind of thing.

This is how the scene just now happened.

Under the instruction of Dutch Darkwood, the staff team conducted a simple test. They did not expect Han Solo to give in. Supporting Rachel was an instruction given by the Marquis himself. Unless the puppet team gave up their family members, they would not dare to act rashly.

If the Marquis says he will kill your entire family, then he will really kill your entire family, especially the servants who eat his rice.

They were testing Han Solo's attitude.

See if it's possible to divide him from Rachel and bring him to your side.

Now it seems...

Totally impossible.

After the small incident, the meeting continued. The following agenda went extremely smoothly, with a series of arrangements made by the staff team.

The Darkwood family has already rented a house in Sturgeon Town, and after communicating with the local lord, they obtained permission to send a team of 30 engravers to settle there, most of whom have sailing experience and can drive a boat.

The only drawback is that now is the fish migration season.

It is easy to bribe the local fishermen, but it is difficult to deal with the lords.

The sturgeon industry accounts for a large part of the local finances and can be said to be the lifeline. You, Darkwood, are so great that you requisition all the fishing boats to do your work. How can I survive then?

This year the harvest is completely gone and merchants who came from afar have returned empty-handed. Can you guarantee that they will come again next year?

It's like a joke. Don't even think about requisitioning fishing boats. The ports can be opened and you can transfer boats from other places.

The Blood Lion couldn't be too tough, after all, this was not his territory.

He hired three large ships with artillery from other places and put them under the command of Han Solo. This was the only way because of the limited time.

Han Solo was not dissatisfied with this. What the Blood Lion had achieved was beyond his imagination, and he was very satisfied.

The meeting ended quickly, and except for that episode in the middle, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Before leaving, the old man shook hands with Han Solo and said, "Mr. Han, Steward Ross will be in charge of Sturgeon Town. You know him well, so you should be able to work well with him. I will be in charge of the Whispering Wind Plains, so you can rest assured. I will give you good news in a month."

Han Solo was also very polite: "With the senior taking action, there will naturally be no accidents."

After they were escorted to the gate, everyone said goodbye.

Han Solo stood beside Rachel and turned to look at her: "Whose man is this?"

Rachel answered truthfully, "I heard that he is very close to Dutch Darkwood. Brother Dutch is very capable, and many people believe that he will be the next Marquis."

"Is it?"

The night is as dark as ink and the moon is at its zenith.

Han Solo said, "We'll be leaving in the next two days. Lyra and Viola will be accompanying us. You should also be prepared."

Rachel's mind wasn't here.

She struggled and hesitated for a long time, and when she saw Han Solo was about to leave, she mustered up the courage and said, "Will you stay here tonight?

- I mean, it's too late, the locomotives are out of service, if there's nothing else, let's go after breakfast tomorrow."

"All right!"

It doesn't matter where you sleep. The locomotives have stopped running, so it's really inconvenient to go back.
