In the other world, women only slow me down.

But after finding out the whole story, most of the nobles could only remain silent.

The fact that they were able to become "best friends" with the daughter of a prominent family, Rurikawa, is enough to show that these noble ladies were of high status, and ordinary nobles were not qualified to dissuade them.

not to mention.

In the eyes of most nobles, their status is higher than that of maids.

To be precise, it is much higher.

Seeing the scene at this moment, they basically only have meaningless feelings like "the world is cruel" and "a tiger in trouble".

"What's wrong, Rurikawa? Are you mute?"

Looking at the silent Rurikawa, the twisted heart of a noble lady was greatly satisfied.

But she felt that was not enough.

She wanted to continue humiliating Rurikawa and vent all her past resentment.

"Then let me see how long you can hold on."

The noble lady picked up a glass of crimson wine from the table beside her and poured it towards Rurikawa.

Such a scene immediately caused a burst of exclamations.

Fran, who was walking around the banquet selecting the next hypnosis target, was attracted by the commotion and happened to see this scene.

He suddenly felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

When Rurikawa was splashed all over and was in a mess, filled with shame and anger, but unable to do anything and felt extremely helpless, it was the best time for him to take action.

Fran's hypnotic ability allows him to manipulate the words and actions of these noble ladies with words.

Therefore, he did not need to worry about whether he would be retaliated against by these noble ladies after ruining their good deeds.

Even if there is revenge, he can rely on his own abilities to overcome the danger.

And in his opinion, as long as he could stand up at the critical moment and loudly condemn the actions of these noble ladies.

Not only can he win the hearts of beautiful women, but he can also stand in front of everyone with a glorious image of being fearless of power and brave enough to do what is right.

Even if I lose the ability to hypnotize later.

Still able to gain the love of others.

But just as Fran took a step forward with confidence and acted according to his plan, another figure had already stood behind Rurikawa.

It was Lynch.

Lin Qi's expression darkened slightly, and he gently waved his hand in front of Rurikawa.

The wine that was originally splashed in the air was controlled by a strange magical power and gathered into a bright red water ball, floating in the air.

This dreamlike scene immediately shocked the nobles.

"magic!"

"Master Lin Qi is actually a magician? He's really good at hiding it!"

"When did he learn magic?"

In this world, magicians have a very special status, because learning magic requires extremely strict talent, and some people cannot sense the existence of magic in their entire lives.

Even a magician like Yashu would be classified as S-class after showing off a few magic skills in the Adventurer's Association.

Of course, Yashu's race was also an extremely important reference condition at the time.

The stereotype that elves = powerful magicians has long existed in everyone's mind.

Before the performance in the arena, Lynch had already raised Yashu's strategy level to 100% through close battles with Hui and Yashu, and successfully awakened the magician profession.

In addition, as a succubus, Lynch possesses a certain amount of magical power.

It was naturally very easy for him to collect the wine spilled in the air like this.

Even said.

Rurikawa, who was transformed into a succubus by Lynch, can also do such things, but she just stands there and allows these noble ladies to bully her.

Through connections with family members.

Lin Qi knew that Rurikawa did this to avoid causing trouble for himself.

This made Lynch feel a little distressed and dissatisfied at the same time.

"Rurikawa, why do you keep holding back?"

Lynch asked Rurikawa.

"I……"

Rurikawa pursed her lips, her face looking very aggrieved.

The noble lady who spilled the wine was stunned for a moment when she saw Lynch, and then she put on an arrogant look.

She is the daughter of the Marquis.

She was just a little maid, so she could bully her, but she didn't believe that Lynch would choose to offend her because of this.

She even chose to turn the tables and asked Lin Qi:

"Count Lynch, your maid actually dared to offend me. How do you think we should handle this?"

Lin Qi ignored the aggressive noble lady, but reached out his hand, rubbed Rurikawa's head gently twice, and asked:

"Rurikawa, do you still remember what I promised you?"

Chapter 5: Lord Rurikawa Pledges Allegiance (k)

Hearing Lin Qi's question, Rurikawa was slightly stunned at first, and then answered in a low voice:

"Remember, remember."

Of course she remembered the agreement.

As long as she is loyal, Lynch will help her rebuild her family.

It was precisely because of this agreement that she chose to offer her body to Lynch in the beginning, and until now she was willing to become his maid completely.

In addition, Rurikawa has been working hard to rebuild his family.

Even though she was often harassed by Lynch to the point of losing consciousness, she would still pick up the books scattered on the ground and continue memorizing after she came to her senses.

Especially after being taken in as a follower by Lynch and becoming a succubus.

Although Rurikawa's mental strength has been greatly enhanced, which has improved her efficiency in memorizing things, it also has a very significant side effect.

That is Rurikawa's body, which will always long for Lynch's favor.

Once Lynch appeared beside her, she felt a little overwhelmed.

It was in this situation that Rurikawa, while resisting the lust in her blood, memorized all the information that Lynch had given her before, bit by bit.

This way, he could call out the name of every noble present at the banquet and know all the information including their titles, families, properties, etc.

Lynch naturally saw all of this.

For employees who work so hard, the boss will naturally give certain rewards.

"very good."

Lin Qi nodded at Rurikawa and took out a contract from his arms.

This is the maid contract that was owed when Ruri River was first purchased.

"I promised you that as long as you pledge your loyalty to me, I will help you rebuild the Ruri River family. I mean what I say."

So, in full view of the public.

A small flame appeared in Lynch's palm. After the flame came into contact with the maid contract, it quickly and fiercely burned again.

Lynch looked at Rurikawa through the brilliant firelight and said:

"From today on, you will no longer be my maid."

Rurikawa's eyes widened, and she was so shocked by the scene before her that she was speechless.

But Lin Qi's reward was not over yet. He smiled and took out another contract from his arms, placed it in front of Rurikawa, and said:

"This is a transfer contract that includes all the assets of the Rurikawa family. Sign it, and you will get back everything that the Rurikawa family once had."

Hearing this, all the nobles around couldn't help but gasp.

Especially the noble lady who had humiliated Rurikawa before, the expression on her face became very interesting.

It's clear to everyone.

How powerful was the Rurikawa family in the past?

Lynch, who started from scratch, completely defeated the Rurikawa family in business and politics in a nearly miraculous way, and thus became the most sought-after noble in the royal capital.

But now, he chose to return everything he had obtained to Rurikawa.

"Is he crazy?"

"I couldn't understand it, but I was shocked."

"Don't ask me, I don't understand."

"..."

In response to the nobles' shock and confusion, Lynch just smiled faintly.

Perhaps this may seem irrational and difficult to understand to others, but it is not difficult to understand from Lynch's perspective.

First of all, Rurikawa has become his dependent, and whether or not there is this maid contract has almost no impact on the two of them. Rurikawa still belongs to him completely, and these industries are just nominal changes; secondly, in the future Lynch will definitely go to the Seventh Fortress to meet key figures such as the Elf Queen, so there must be someone he trusts enough to help him look after the base camp.

And so far.

Although Luna is a princess, she is too stupid.

Hui Heya is also comfortable with big breasts and no brains.

Sister Capella is a pure Virgin Mary.

Taking all factors into consideration, only Rurikawa and Lettius have the ability to meet Lynch's needs.

Lin Qi decided to take the legendary swordsman Colletius with him to the Seventh Fortress because of her strength. This was to ensure his safety along the way and to deal with possible violent conflicts after entering the Seventh Fortress.

After considering all the factors, Rurikawa became the only candidate.

But if Liulichuan is just allowed to become the ruler after Lin Qi leaves as a maid, it will undoubtedly be difficult to convince the people.

What Lynch is doing now is to clear away the future difficulties for Rurikawa.

"Master... Master?!"

Looking at the transfer letter in front of her, Rurikawa was undoubtedly the most shocked and moved among all the people present.

She has always believed that Lynch will fulfill the agreement between them.

But when all this was really unfolded in front of her, her eyes still couldn't help but turn red, and her voice couldn't help but have a bit of crying tone.

"Sign it."

Lynch said this to Rurikawa with a gentle smile on his face.

Rurikawa nodded excitedly, her left hand involuntarily covering her mouth, trying her best not to cry, and her right hand took the contract handed to her by Lin Qi and wrote her name in the signature area.

The noble lady standing by witnessed everything that happened.

The jealousy in my heart is like a poisonous snake, biting me constantly.

Why?

She couldn't help but roar in her heart.

When Rurikawa was still a young lady, she was the protagonist of every dinner party, while she could only be a background figure.

I finally waited until Rurikawa fell into poverty.

However, Lin Qi actually transferred all the assets of the Rurikawa family back to her name.

This seemed impossible to the noble lady.

Even fairy tales can't be this outrageous.
