Chapter 106 Platinum Card Maker Examination (1)

Saturday.

Early in the morning.

The Batiste Estate, nestled in a stunning golden location on the north bank of the Serena River, was built of hand-cut, beige limestone and roofed with blue-brown dovetail tiles.

The mansion's private grounds included shaded gardens planted with broad-leaved evergreen trees, as well as small glass greenhouses for the owners and guests to admire exotic flowers and plants.

At this moment, inside the glass greenhouse, the butler was holding a clipboard, recording the cultivation status of precious plants.

Cautious footsteps sounded behind him.

But he still didn't turn around, focusing on the work at hand.

"Hey, Butler, are you going to the Platinum Card Maker competition with us at noon?"

Christina patted Ranch's back and asked him.

At eleven o'clock today, the Platinum Card Maker Exam for the eastern region will begin.

As the longest first round of testing, it will last until nine o'clock in the evening.

During this time, viewers who have purchased on-site tickets will be able to go to the Holy Silver Vine Arena to watch the live broadcast, and other residents can also watch the broadcast.

"It's rare, Miss, that you would invite me?"

Ranch turned around, looking at the blonde young lady of the Earl's family.

"It's mainly that Inoan thinks it would be better if you went too."

Christina sighed.

Although Christina didn't think Rocky was that scary anymore.

But if she could have less to do with this brainwashing butler, she would be happy to avoid it.

"Would she say something like that?"

Ranch paused suspiciously for half a second.

"Humph."

Christina raised her index finger and waved it in front of Ranch as a matter of course.

"I asked her to go, and she didn't want to, but when I said, 'What if Rocky goes too?' she wavered."

She explained with a sly smile,

"It's obvious that relying on me alone isn't enough to give her a sense of security, you have to be added too."

Ever since Inoan became weak and was knocked down several times by Rocky during the strength test in the courtyard, she had completely lost her confidence.

Even though her injuries had recovered a lot now, and Christina had brought out the treasured secret medicine from home for her to use every day, Inoan was still a little timid.

In Inoan's impression, Rocky Butler was an outrageously strong person.

"I'm really sorry about that, but I've already taken the afternoon off. I happen to have some other work to do and won't be able to accompany you."

Ranch said helplessly, looking at the Ice Phantom Sunflower imported from the Borsen Demon Realm, while recording.

"Ah..."

Christina made a disappointed sound,

"I thought you were free outside of work, I didn't expect you to have to work several jobs."

The way she looked at Ranch was like she suspected that Ranch had some financial difficulties, even though he was already earning so much money, he was still desperately working.

"Sigh."

Ranch's words were no more than a sigh.

Every family has its own problems.

If he didn't work hard to earn money, how could he support *that*?

"What do you take me for?"

Talia immediately captured his thoughts in Ranch's mind.

Even if Ranch didn't mention her, she knew that Ranch was thinking about dying again.

"A card that is extremely risky, extremely costly, and requires a huge amount of magic and food to support at all times..."

"……?"

"My most precious natal card."

"Shut up..."

After Talia's mental message was conveyed, she stopped talking as if she had fallen asleep.

The telepathic exchange between the two ended.

Ranch, who gradually came back to his senses, looked at Christina in the glass greenhouse again.

"Let me help you persuade her."

He suggested, putting down the clipboard and pen in his hand.

"Okay."

Christina immediately turned around and went to the courtyard.

That was what Rocky was waiting for.

"Have you been waiting for me to say that for a long time?"

The butler asked a little sadly.

"No, no, I actually still hope you can accompany me."

Christina whistled and looked at the trees in her garden, reading the lines like a script.

The two walked together along the garden path, walked hundreds of meters, pushed open the heavy oak door of the main building, and soon arrived at Christina's usual reception hall – the ceiling was three stories high, with crystal stalactite lamps nearly two meters in diameter hanging down, and the floor was covered with hand-woven silk carpets.

Up the black marble staircase inlaid with brass handles, a corridor stretching dozens of meters was lined with carved and painted rooms such as studies and small reception rooms.

At the end of the third-floor corridor, a pair of magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows offered an unobstructed view of the Serena River and the boundless cityscape.

And Inoan was tidying up in the guest room.

"Who!"

The sudden appearance of a figure at the door made her subconsciously tense up, and her back stepped back half a step as if it was tight.

Gradually.

When she saw that it was Christina and Rocky Butler, she relaxed.

She gave the two a maid's salute.

"Inoan, stop working for a moment and come to the reception hall to chat."

Ranch said, holding the door frame in his hand.

Then he came to the small reception room on the third floor and placed three chairs next to a peach-wood coffee table, quickly preparing three cups of black tea in a dozen seconds.

When Inoan walked in, she found that she could already sit down and rest.

This made her look up to Rocky Butler a little.

She wanted to be like that too.

This is called professionalism, doing things too quickly, give him a minute, and he may be able to prepare a tea party.

"No, Rocky, what kind of work did you do before?"

Christina patted the seat next to her, motioning for Inoan to sit over, and asked the butler opposite who had already started leisurely sipping tea.

"I've been involved in various industries, and I'm better at education and management."

Ranch replied, sipping his tea.

"Then your experience is really rich."

Christina just wanted to know a little bit, and didn't plan to explore it further.

She would believe it if this guy said he had worked in the Rebirth Church.

"Then let's get down to business. Inoan, Miss Christina is going to the Holy Silver Vine Arena today to watch the Platinum Card Maker Exam. Can you go with her and protect her?"

Ranch looked at Inoan and asked.

"...Can you let the other maids in the mansion accompany Miss?"

Inoan looked at her reflection on the crimson surface of the teacup, without raising her head.

"First of all, you are Miss Christina's personal maid. Compared to working in this house, you are more of her private employee."

Ranch said to Inoan slowly,

"Secondly, the cooking maids, serving maids, and study maids in the mansion are all very strong demons, but they are not as strong as you. You have to be more confident."

"……"

Inoan stopped talking.

She couldn't seem to find any words to evade or refute the butler.

"Inoan, are you afraid that your enemies will find you and then harm Christina?"

Ranch asked again.

"……"

Inoan looked a little reluctant to admit it, but finally nodded while holding the corner of her skirt.

"Don't worry, the northern district of Borsen has a safe city defense barrier. To close it, unless the entire Parier is captured or it is overloaded, even eighth-order powerhouses will be suppressed in Parier's urban area and cause encirclement. Although District 6, where the Holy Silver Vine Arena is located, is closer to the Borsen Demon Realm, it is still a human society area, and those enemies who want to hurt you can't just do anything."

Ranch explained to her in detail the operating principle of the Parier barrier.

In the capital of an eastern power like Parier, even the high priests cannot easily enter a combat state in the town. They can only fight in the wild, in special venues, and in artificial shadow worlds.

"Miss Christina wants you to go with her, not only because you are her personal maid, but more importantly, she likes you very much and regards you as a unique friend and playmate. So only by going with you can she get a hundred points of satisfaction. If you also want to respond to her kindness, Inoan, why don't you consider it?"

Ranch's eyes and voice were somewhat suggestive, causing Inoan's expression to waver. She wanted to avoid it but had nowhere to escape, so she could only turn her cheek and look at the floor.

"Then I'll go."

Inoan looked at the blonde young lady through the gaps in the red hair in front of her forehead, and muttered to herself softly.

Ranch leaned back in his chair and looked at Christina. His proud eyes were like he was asking her, didn't I solve the problem very simply?

"……"

Christina secretly gave him a thumbs up. She was actually quite speechless about the butler's habitual way of speaking. This guy must have been involved in some pyramid schemes or scams before.

"But what exactly is making you so afraid, Inoan? Are you actually afraid of implicating Miss Christina?"

Ranch thought for a moment and asked Inoan.

He could probably guess the reason for Inoan's hesitation.

She was worried that her so-called enemies would come after her.

So if she could stay in the Earl's Mansion, she was not very willing to leave.

"I vaguely feel that I might list my hatred for my enemies in a ranking... and the number one enemy who almost killed me and made me lose my memory is very dangerous... and definitely not easy to deal with..."

Inoan tried hard to recall, but she couldn't think of any information, only the discomfort that seemed to be engraved in her bones.

"You do have this habit. You always list things clearly in order."

Ranch commented.

He would always encourage Inoan's strengths and good habits.

"According to your guess, or just your impression, who is stronger, me or your enemy? After all, I felt like you hated me a lot in the Holy Silver Vine Arena before. Maybe I'm also on the list."

He asked Inoan.

"No, I don't know."

Inoan shook her head,

"But you are definitely not my enemy."

Inoan said firmly.

"Inoan, actually, if you hadn't lost to me that day, you might not have been hunted down by the Square Gang of the Borsen Demon Realm later."

Ranch smiled indifferently.

He and Christina had already told Inoan the story of when they first met Inoan, and why Viscount Hammond hated Christina and Inoan so much. It all started with that proxy arena match in the Holy Silver Vine Arena.

"No, Christina and you are the two people who are the best to me."

Inoan shook her head. She seemed very sure about this,

"If you really wanted to harm me or deceive me, you wouldn't have let me know those truths so frankly. I don't know what it was like before I lost my memory, but I understand it very well now."

She raised her eyes and looked directly at Christina and Ranch.

"Eh, Inoan, so there's a like ranking too?"

Christina hugged Inoan with some surprise and asked her.

She felt that she couldn't understand Inoan's emotional changes these days, and was worried that her excessive enthusiasm might embarrass Inoan sometimes. Now it seemed that Inoan was just not good at expressing herself.

"I'm going to work."

Inoan didn't admit it this time. She broke away from Christina's hand, saluted embarrassedly, and then left quickly.

"Inoan, what if you recover your memory one day? Will you angrily come to me for revenge? Actually, when I parted with you in the hooded red-haired boy's appearance that day, you didn't look like you would let it go easily."

Ranch asked, looking at Inoan's back as she walked to the door, as if he had found a hypothesis.

According to the doctor, after suffering brain trauma, Inoan's personality may change drastically, but if she recovers her memory, Inoan's personality may also change back to what it was before the injury. Living this time may be more like a dream to her, and recovering her memory is like waking up.

"Can't we sit down and chat peacefully..."

Inoan hesitated to turn around and looked at the butler, saying.

She looked a little scared, as if she might cry if Rocky Butler really wanted to hit her.

"Don't worry, go to work."

Ranch raised his hand and waved at her with a smile. Only then did Inoan leave the small reception room with a sigh of relief.

The room was silent for a moment. Ranch also finished his tea and prepared to continue working.

"By the way, Miss, I know you like Inoan very much, but you should also be prepared to be separated from her at any time. After all, you don't know her past, and maybe you are not from the same world."

Ranch put the teacup on the tray and advised Christina with some worry.

The questions he asked Inoan just now were also to make Christina understand this matter in advance.

"I know."

Christina replied casually,

"No matter how she wants to leave me at that time, I will let go without any regrets."

Although she meant it with a bit of stubbornness.

But just like she didn't understand Rocky, she didn't really understand Inoan either.

The time she was spending with herself now might just be a small fragment of less than one percent of Inoan's life, and she was just a passer-by in her life. Christina didn't try to lock Inoan by her side.

She probably thought about this when she signed the employment contract with Inoan.

"It's great that your thoughts and behavior can be so mature."

Ranch walked out of the room with satisfaction and said goodbye.

"Don't underestimate me too much. Would I be the kind of person who cries and clings to her?"

Christina made a face at the direction where the butler disappeared at the door, and said with dissatisfaction.

This butler is an old master of sarcasm. Sometimes she can't tell whether he is saying positive or negative things.

……

A few hours later.

Parier District 6, Holy Silver Vine Arena.

In this area close to the Borsen Demon Realm, warning signs of the Senate Enforcement Force have been hung up, and patrols are often guarded near the circular boundary of that kilometer.

Due to the Platinum Card Maker Examination being a large-scale international project, the Borsen Kingdom has invested a great deal of security protection. At the same time, during the examination time at the end of August, Parier's dignitaries, and even Senate dukes and marquises, often come to watch. Therefore, the protective force nearby will become more emphasized as time goes on.

Many executioners from the South Bank have also come to the North Bank.

Of course, some Parier people working in government agencies have heard the recent rumors that the patrols on the border of the Borsen Demon Realm may be not only for security, but also for the deeper reason that the nearly erupting ancient demonization curse mystery case of the demon race has undergone new changes some time ago.

In the past few days, no demonization accidents have occurred. It seems that the chief culprit suspected of spreading the curse in the Borsen Kingdom has temporarily hidden because of the Senate's thunderous search.

But during the calm period of the Platinum Card Maker Examination, which was like the calm before the storm, some people speculated that the chief culprit of the curse incident was brewing something even more terrifying at this moment.

Even so.

Small rumors and gossip cannot stop most Parier people who love life from looking forward to large-scale events!

The afternoon sun pierced through the slowly opening huge dome, scorching the ancient Holy Silver Vine Arena.

Viewers from all over the Borsen Kingdom and even the eastern countries have gathered here, looking forward to this annual magical engineering event.

"Are there any card makers this year who are hoping to be promoted to Platinum?"

"I think it's very difficult. Among this year's candidates, apart from Escal, a super magic craftsman from a small country, Walastein and Katrina, top Gold Card Makers who are taking the exam for the second time, there are many mysterious newcomers that I don't know. Are we going to look at old masters like Balcon, or Karen, the rising star from the Kingdom of Yarolan this year?"

"But this time, a major highlight is mainly on the examiners. I didn't expect a Platinum Card Maker to take over Maya's work."

Crowds of people could be seen everywhere in the venue, and noisy discussions rose and fell, filled with laughter.

The interior of the super-ancient Colosseum has been renovated and painted in modern times. The high stands around it are scattered, and the viewer stands are layered like winding mountains in the shape of a white giant conch.

Inside the Heavenly Imperial Hall exclusive to the dignitaries.

The seats are very spacious, and even the attendants can sit on the sofas next to them.

However, most of the followers stood behind them in a very disciplined manner and would not sit with their masters.

Only families with a lot of money would buy the high-priced tickets here. The purchase rights also required the family to have extremely high points in the Holy Silver Vine Arena. Therefore, it was almost the most luxurious area.

"Be quiet later, don't disturb other people."

Christina brought her younger siblings to their seats early and told them.

The cousins and younger sister seemed unable to sit still and looked more excited than her.

However, her brother Kyle had no interest after hearing that Rocky would not be coming today. He returned to the study to continue his studies, saying that he would consider whether to come and take a look at the final round of assessment.

So it turned out that she was the only one bringing the children.

"Inoan, please watch over my younger siblings."

Christina could only ask Inoan for help.

"I..."

Inoan sat next to Christina, feeling very uncomfortable.

Because she saw that in other families, most servants stood aside.

She didn't know how to get along with children.

During this time, she had been learning. She had also discovered that there were some things that she would have known, and some things that she would never know. However, she was completely lacking the basic skill of "caring for and treating children kindly." This made her increasingly suspect that she was a bad person before.

"It's okay, you're very smart and you'll learn it right away."

Christina seemed to see Inoan's hesitation, took her hands and said to her.

"It's all Rocky's fault for running away. Otherwise, the younger siblings would be quiet as soon as he asked about their homework."

Christina couldn't help but complain angrily.

Soothing children was supposed to be Rocky's specialty.

"No, it's not Mr. Rocky's fault, it's my lack of ability."

Inoan said in a low voice.

Seeming unwilling to let Christina blame Rocky Butler, she tentatively looked at the children and boldly touched their heads one by one.

The three children were all stunned, looking at Inoan, making Inoan a little worried that she had done something wrong.

She was just clumsily imitating Rocky Butler's natural behavior.

She remembered that Rocky would also say "Children, I'm back" at this time.

But obviously the scene was not appropriate at this moment.

"Eh, Inoan, you're actually willing to play with us!"

However, the three children soon smiled and started talking to Inoan, the silent and mysterious maid, making Inoan not know what to say next.

"Isn't it just a little imitation?"

Christina smiled easily and breathed a sigh of relief.

The butler was still a little useful, able to motivate Inoan to make up for his work.

The Platinum Card Maker Examination had actually started some time ago. The screens in the Heavenly Imperial Hall were also synchronizing the pictures inside the artificial shadow world.

It was now the mid-term preparation time.

Because the seminar of the first round of the Platinum Card Maker Examination was quite long.

Experts look at the doorway, laymen look at the excitement, and few people can watch it all the way through.

Therefore, even in the Holy Silver Vine Arena on site, viewers often came in and out.

And when the two candidates alternated, the pictures in the arena would turn into discussions between the examiners and staff, preparing to lead the new candidates into the arena after the countdown ended.

During these times, the viewers almost all chatted about their own things.

Just as Christina leaned back on the back of the sofa and looked up at Parier's clear blue sky, she suddenly heard some movement in the distance. It seemed that the dignitaries were all saluting someone.

She tilted her head to look over and immediately sat up a little straighter.

She saw that it was Tiffany, the current true ruler of the Borsen Kingdom Senate.

She was wearing a gorgeous silk dress, the skirt falling on the seat. The dark red texture reflected a glimmer of light, and a mink cloak was draped over her shoulders, fluttering gently with her movements.

Tiffany straightened her back and raised her head slightly. Her bright eyes seemed to enjoy wandering on the screen. She tapped the armrest with her guardian ring, and fanned herself leisurely with the feather fan in her hand, occasionally looking up and smiling and whispering a few words to the black-clothed officer behind her.

"I heard you almost accidentally chopped him down that day?"

She pointed at a corner of the screen with her folding fan, referring to a certain examiner's figure, and then covered her mouth lightly with the fan, asking.

"……I'm very sorry."

The black-clothed officer lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"I don't blame you. I gave you the authorization at that time, and I'm responsible if something goes wrong."

Tiffany said indifferently, lightly patting the black-clothed officer's waist with the fan, as if to tell him to hold his head high and not blame himself.

"Mr. Nigel!"

Christina on the other side noticed the figure of this black-clothed officer, accidentally shouted his name, and simply waved to him.

The last time she and Butler Rocky went to the Borsen Demon Realm, they met this executioner, and it was he who handed Inoan over to the two of them.

Nigel, standing behind the Duchess, noticed the Batiste Earl's seat, cast his eyes on Christina, and nodded slightly in salute.

"Inoan, Mr. Nigel saved you that day."

Christina reminded Inoan next to her.

In the Borsen Demon Realm, if Nigel hadn't arrived to stop the berserk leader of the Square Gang, Inoan might have been killed by the berserk cursed demons.

Hearing this, Inoan also bowed slightly to Nigel.

Nigel also gave Inoan a response.

He discovered that the Batiste family had taken in the human he had saved.

"See, Inoan, it's not that dangerous outside. There are still many people full of kindness."

Christina taught Inoan.

"You're right."

Inoan nodded with some relief.

Before she could say anything more.

"!"

She stood up as if she suddenly realized the danger, stood in front of Christina, protecting Christina behind her with her hands, telling her not to move.

In front of them, a tall figure had appeared at some point, almost blocking the sunlight.

"Miss, may I ask if your butler has brown hair and green eyes?"

The figure in front of the sofa had deep red eyes, flashing with teasing light, ignoring Inoan, and only asked Christina.

He was wearing a black silk coat, with a head of black long hair casually scattered, and a pale and delicate face with some wild beauty.

He was Astross, the demon lord of Parier District 7.

"……"

Christina looked away.

She remembered that Rocky Butler had given this demon lord a black elbow that day, causing him to be defeated by Staff Sergeant Nigel.

Although she was standing far away that day and should not have been noticed by this demon lord Astross, Rocky was now very famous in the Holy Silver Vine Arena. A little inquiry about a man with brown hair and green eyes wearing a butler's uniform and being very strong would quickly reveal that he was the butler of their Batiste family.

"I don't know where he went."

Christina answered with sweat on her forehead and a silly expression.

"Really? I was careless last time. Next time I see him..."

Just saying that, Astross's forehead twitched.

He had never had an opponent who used such despicable means to defeat him before he could even see the other person clearly.

"I really don't know where he is. He took a leave of absence today."

Christina repeated again.

"You're lying, aren't you? Tell me where he is, don't let me find out that he's hiding in this arena."

"He's really not here!"

At this time, on the other side of the Heavenly Imperial Hall.

Nigel noticed Christina's direction and frowned.

"Duchess Tiffany, I'd like to step away for a while and chat with an acquaintance."

Nigel thought for a moment and lowered his head, asking Duchess Tiffany for instructions.

"Go ahead."

Duchess Tiffany waved her hand casually, signaling that he could leave.

Although Nigel was her executioner and guard, she had a lot of life-saving props on her, so it wouldn't be easy for someone to threaten her.

Nigel nodded and strode across a series of long walkways, arriving at Christina's location at the right end of the Heavenly Imperial Hall stands.

"Oh, there's even such a strong maid, you should be able to take me two... no, three moves? As expected of a wealthy Earl's family."

Astross looked at Inoan, who was becoming increasingly hostile, and finally shifted his gaze from Christina to her.

"……"

Inoan was like a wolf dog with bristling fur. Her trembling pupils sent out a fierce warning signal, driving Astross away from Christina's side, or else she would take action.

The air instantly turned cold.

Before Christina could find a way to defuse Astross's provocation.

"Astross, go back to where you belong."

Nigel stepped in between, putting his scabbard in front of Astross, signaling him not to harass humans.

"Tsk, I know, Nigel. You don't think I'm stupid enough to attack a noble lady in the human world, do you?"

Astross saw Nigel coming, and looked at Tiffany's cold eyes behind the folding fan in the distance. He waved his hand as if he was admitting defeat.

He put his hands in the pockets of his coat.

He took out a letter from his coat pocket and handed it to Nigel.

Nigel's eyes didn't relax his hostility and didn't take Astross's letter.

"Lord Pearlman's invitation, I've delivered it to you, Nigel."

Astross said as if he had completed his task.

"……"

Hearing this name, Nigel also shifted his gaze uncomfortably, followed by a long silence, slowly and stiffly taking the black envelope.

Demon Lord Pearlman, the administrator of District 10, is also the strongest in the Borsen Kingdom today.

He is also the teacher who adopted Nigel.

Nigel and his teacher's twin daughters grew up together like siblings.

Now only the older sister is left.

Nigel was even more afraid to see her, because seeing her would make him think of the younger sister he had killed with his own hands.

"It doesn't matter whether you go or not."

Astross shrugged indifferently.

Anyway, Nigel was quite unpopular among the demons, after all, he was a butcher who worked as a dog for humans.

Lord Pearlman's birthday party for his daughter was on Sunday next week.

It also happened to be the night after the Platinum Card Maker Examination ended.

"Although theoretically you can bring friends, I don't think you have any trustworthy friends on the human side, after all, you are a traitor yourself."

Astross's voice was full of pity, as if he didn't understand why Nigel wasted so many years on the human side.

"Whatever you think."

Nigel just looked down at the letter.

"Nigel, I heard that you have been investigating secretly behind the Senate's back recently, but I secretly tell you that the [Grumbling Record of Palroni] may be in the hands of the Senate. Don't forget which side you belong to, don't be completely used by humans."

Astross patted Nigel on the shoulder as he walked past, whispering in his ear.

"……"

Nigel remained silent and did not respond to Demon Lord Astross.

"Well, what if I heard some things?"

Christina shrank her neck slightly with some trepidation.

She was worried that she had heard something she shouldn't have.

"What can you do even if you hear it?"

Astross's cold eyes made Christina feel cold all over and froze in place.

After saying that, he walked straight along the aisle until he disappeared.

"It's okay, don't worry about that guy's words, he's talking nonsense."

Nigel's voice softened a little and said to Christina.

"Thank you for helping us out, Mr. Nigel."

Christina quickly saluted him.

Inoan also bowed again with Christina.

Before they could talk, Christina heard a slight rustling sound in the distance: "The Batiste family's daughter actually has dealings with the demon lord Astross and the executioner Nigel. She really plans to destroy Viscount Hammond's family." Christina's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

As everyone knows, Duchess Tiffany's executioner is a ruthless enforcement demon. Almost all illegal activities cannot escape his iron fist.

Christina admitted that she had some grudges with Viscount Hammond, but how did it become that she was going to attack someone after it was spread in the noble circle?

"Miss Batiste, be careful recently."

Nigel's gaze swept over the three ignorant children of the Batiste family, until he put it on Christina, and said to her.

Inoan's eyes suddenly became fearful, and her eyes began to wander uneasily, as if falling into an abyss.

"Don't worry, it's not because of you."

Nigel shook his head. He felt that Inoan had misunderstood.

Although offending the Square Gang in the Borsen Demon Realm was dangerous, that matter had been resolved. After investigation, it was the demons who attacked her first.

This woman named Inoan was just an innocent passerby who had accidentally strayed into the dispute, and it was not a big deal.

The one who was really likely to be targeted by the mastermind behind the scenes was Ranch, or rather, Rocky McCarthy, his alias.

Because in the end, no useful information could be obtained from the berserk leader of the Square Gang that day, Nigel could also see that it was likely that the turmoil in the 7th District of the Borsen Demon Realm that night was actually a bait set by the mastermind behind the scenes to lure out the de-curser. As long as he followed Nigel, he would definitely be able to find the de-curser.

"You're talking about Rocky Butler. He's really dangerous."

Christina agreed,

"But what is the relationship between the two of you? Has Rocky Butler participated in any illegal activities?"

She curiously looked at Nigel's expression. Nigel might know more than she did.

She had been getting along with Rocky Butler for a while now, but she still felt that this man was full of mysteries.

"He is my assistant, so he may be involved in some cases."

Nigel only answered simply.

Then, he said goodbye to Christina and Inoan, and walked back to the seat where Duchess Tiffany was.

Leaving Christina, who frowned and sat on the sofa, in contemplation.

She began to imagine wildly.

She had heard about the potential turmoil in Parier recently.

The Senate forces represented by Duchess Tiffany are the largest power organ that controls the Borsen Kingdom.

The demon lords who occupy the northern part of Parier need to negotiate with the Senate. In essence, they are another force, and there has been a long-standing dispute with the Senate.

The executioner Nigel belongs to an independent investigator. He jumped from the demon lord's side to the Senate's side, and is suspected of having his own intelligence network and judgment.

The Krythe Empire to the south is putting pressure from the outside. It is unknown whether they have spies inside the Borsen Kingdom who are planning something.

In addition, there is also the mastermind behind the scenes who holds the curse of [the Grumbling Record of the Great Wizard Palroni].

And the Rebirth Church is also suspected of taking action in the Borsen Kingdom for some reason.

The former three belong to the ununited own forces, and the latter three are always evil enemy forces.

No one knows how much information each side has, what their purposes are, and what progress they are making every minute and every second under the seemingly calm lake.

Some invisible things may have brewed to the critical point.

It will erupt at any time.

Fortunately, their Batiste Earl's family is just an old family. They mainly operate some agricultural products and wine businesses that span from the southern border to the north of Borsen. Once turmoil occurs, their business will definitely shrink, but it will not go bankrupt.

Even so, Christina can only catch a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the current situation in the Borsen Kingdom.

This Staff Sergeant Nigel should be the breaker with the most protagonist feeling in the entire big event.

From this point of view, Rocky, who is on good terms with the executioner Nigel, is a mysterious powerhouse surrounded by mysteries. He is likely to be a good person who can change the whole situation at a critical moment.

"Miss, will Parier become very dangerous in the future?"

Inoan's voice interrupted Christina's thoughts, causing her to come back to her senses. Turning her head, Christina only saw Inoan's purple eyes filled with worry under her red hair.

"Don't worry, unless the entire Flower Capital Parier is on the verge of falling on a large scale, it is impossible for anyone to attack the Earl's Mansion."

Christina patted Inoan on the back, guaranteeing confidently.

Their mansion also has ancient barriers passed down from their ancestors.

While the two were chatting, they found that the holographic magic screen hanging in the center of the Heavenly Imperial Hall had started the project discussion on the magic engineering principle of a new candidate.

"Eh, Senior Karen is on stage."

Christina grabbed Inoan's wrist in surprise and let her look at the picture of the artificial shadow world.

This Platinum Card Maker Examination has tickets to bet on who can pass.

Christina originally wanted to gamble a little, but Butler Rocky recommended her to bet on that Tata.

She asked Butler Rocky why he recommended this newcomer with no resume.

Rocky hesitated for a moment and said that Tata looked good, making Christina speechless.
