Naturally, the mayor's wife's words were not to be trusted. Besides, Liang Lidong was not interested in her at all. To be fair, the mayor's wife was a charming woman, but she was far from being comparable to the Persian cat and Little White. With a smile, Liang Lidong waved his hands and continued drawing the magic circle model. Then he said, "Alright, don't waste your time here. There's a young man whose surname is' Clement 'among the captives. According to the butler, he seems to be of high status. Go and ask him. Maybe you can get some important information out of him."
"Tsk. What an unromantic man!"
The mayor's wife snorted in dissatisfaction and left, twisting her waist. When she got out of the basement, the dissatisfaction on her face was immediately replaced by a dignified smile. She walked out of the tunnel and walked to the small forest on the right. In the dim shade of the forest, there was a group of captives wearing blue robes. Their hands were tied with hemp rope. Among them, there was a handsome young man with blond hair who was quite eye-catching. At a glance, it was obvious that he was the soul of the captives.
"A member of the Clement family?" The castellan's wife walked in front of the blonde young man and asked condescendingly, "That's strange. Your Clement family is a distant relative of the royal family. You may not have a very high status, but you're still part of the royal bloodline. How could you follow the royal envoy to a rural place like ours and rob us of our only livelihood? I don't think there's any sense of honor in such a thing."
"It's a gold mine. It's worth it either way. You and I both know that noble honor can be abandoned when the time is right." Robin raised his head, looked at her, and asked, "If my information is correct, you should be Madam Sophia, right? Many young talents in the capital were heartbroken when you married the Longman family. I didn't expect that you would still be so beautiful after sixteen years at the border. "
The City Lord's wife could tell that Robin's praise was sincere and not just flattery. It meant that her charm was still working, but why did it not work on Beta at all? Hiding her confusion, she said with the most standard ladylike smile, "It's true that a gold mine can turn friends against family. It's not strange that you did it, and you almost succeeded. I'm Sophia from Winterwind. Now, let's talk about compensation. "
Robin smiled. "That should be the case. But I'm not a direct member of the Clement Family, so the ransom might be a little low. "
"It's okay. Just a hundred meters of Royal Infantry would be enough for us to get a hefty ransom. If the Clement Family is unwilling to pay, Winterwind doesn't mind sending a hundred more elite infantrymen. " The mayor's wife smiled happily. "But if you can tell me who told you about the gold mine, I might be able to waive part of the ransom."
Robin froze for a moment, then smiled. "You should know what you're doing."
"We know, but I need a statement." The mayor's wife squatted down and moved closer to the man. Her face was very close to the man's. "You should also know that many times, a testimony on the surface can give us the moral high ground."
The mayor's wife's face was very close to Robin's. He smelled a refreshing fragrance, which made him feel that he was in a trance. He seemed to have seen his beloved woman. Then he couldn't help but say, "It was Mark from the Temple of Life. We met him outside of the city half a day ago and talked for a while. He seemed to have 'accidentally' revealed that there was a gold mine here, so we made this plan."
The mayor's wife stepped back. She was even more confused when she looked at Robin, who was still dizzy and out of control. This young man from the Clement Family was truly a young talent, and he seemed to be stronger than Beta. But why was he unable to resist her charm, while Beta could?
Was Beta's bloodline really so amazing? The mayor's wife subconsciously licked her lips.
"Keep an eye on them! Don't let your guard down! "
The mayor's wife gave the order to the surrounding soldiers, and then she left. Robin, who was behind her, suddenly shivered. He looked around and finally fixed his eyes on the mayor's wife's graceful back. There was a bit of fear in his eyes.
The mayor's wife didn't care about Robin's opinion of her. She returned to the basement, opened the door, and found that Liang Lidong was still concentrating on constructing the magic array. She waited for a while, only to find that he was too focused. If she didn't say anything, it seemed that he would never notice her arrival. Thinking of that, she walked up and knocked on the table. Then she said, "Mr. Beta, don't you want to take a rest? It's almost night. "
In fact, Liang Lidong had long known that the mayor's wife was here. However, considering the wife's "habit," Liang Lidong didn't intend to take the initiative to talk to her, in case he was teased again. However, now that she had taken the initiative to talk, it would be rude if he didn't reply. So, he raised his head and said, "It's okay. I'll just eat something casually later. As for you, it's already late. If you don't go back now, it'll be difficult."
"It's okay. I can sleep in the inner room," said the mayor's wife with a smile. "I'm looking forward to such a thing."
Liang Lidong shook his head helplessly. He put down his pen and said, "Sigh, if you're hungry, just say it. Don't talk about these things. It's meaningless. I might be a little excited the first time I hear it, but it'll be flat after a while. Also, I have two wives. To put it bluntly, they're much prettier than you, so I won't fall for your honey trap … Let me see what ingredients there are here. I'm indeed a little hungry now. "
The mayor's wife was really surprised this time. "How do you know I'm hungry? Also, you know how to cook? That's something that only servants can do. "
Liang Lidong shrugged. "As an ascetic believer, cooking is a necessary skill. It can allow us to eat delicious food in the wilderness."
The identity of an ascetic believer was really useful. Almost any unreasonable thing could be pushed to him.
After that, Liang Lidong busied himself in the basement. This basement was prepared with basic food ingredients, bacon, dried vegetables, flour, and basic seasonings … Such things were almost impossible to combine into food for an aristocrat like the mayor's wife, but for a Chinese foodie, they were enough.
Liang Lidong put the bacon in the water and boiled it over a warm fire. Then, he began to make noodles. After more than half an hour, under the surprised gaze of the mayor's wife, he pulled out two bowls of noodles and put them into the pot. Soon, a pot of daily noodle soup was made.
The basement was filled with the fragrance of noodles. Liang Lidong fished out the noodles and gave one to each of them. Although there were knives and forks in the basement, Liang Lidong still cut a pair of ugly chopsticks for himself and began to eat. At this moment, the mayor's wife abandoned her "ladylike manners." She used the knife and fork in her hand and finished her bowl of noodles without leaving any broth.
Then, she took out a white handkerchief from her clothes and wiped her lips gently. "I didn't expect Mr. Beta to have such a specialty. I don't know if I can still eat Stargazy Pie in the future. "
This bowl of ramen only had a Delicacy Value of seven, which was barely good for a foodie like Liang Lidong, but for the people of Hollevin who didn't have much food culture, it was a rare delicacy.
"You've eaten. Madam, it's time to leave." Liang Lidong walked back to the table. "Next, I'm going to continue thinking about the magic pattern of the magic array, which needs a quiet environment."
The mayor's wife actually wanted to leave, but she said out of habit, "I'll be very scared if I go back alone. Why don't I sleep here and don't leave tomorrow?"
Liang Lidong sighed and was about to speak, when his ears twitched. He immediately blew out the fire on the table, and the basement was immediately plunged into darkness. Because of the Cloud Dragon Blue Eye, Liang Lidong could still see normally, but the mayor's wife couldn't. She had already squatted and touched her calf with her right hand.
"What happened?" asked the mayor's wife in a low voice.
It had to be said that the mayor's wife was very smart and had good battle awareness. Usually, when a woman and a man were alone in a secret room and saw a man suddenly extinguish the light, they would definitely think in that direction. But she didn't. She faced the door as if she were facing a great enemy, and then she arched her back bit by bit according to her memory and didn't stop until she reached the wall.
Instead of answering the mayor's wife, Liang Lidong crept to the right side of the door and crouched quietly. The Faux Emperor Fallen Sword silently flew out of his spatial bag and into his hand.
Then, he looked at the mayor's wife, only to find that she was also looking at him. The mayor's wife's eyes reflected a faint purple luster, which was obviously some kind of special night vision. A few seconds ago, Liang Lidong thought that the mayor's wife couldn't see in the dark.
At this moment, the mayor's wife was just as shocked, because she found that Liang Lidong's eyes reflected a fluorescent blue light, and there were bits of stardust slowly flowing in the light.
Liang Lidong was surprised. The mayor's wife was actually a bearer of a special bloodline.
And the wife of the city lord was even more surprised, Beta has a unique bloodline legion-level magic, and he can feel the general strength of everyone, and now there is a dark vision that seems to be more advanced than her... What kind of bloodline of the race has it? So many powerful special abilities.
