The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1222 Figure

Obould, who released the carrier pigeon, returned to the room.

Unexpected changes made the Marquis become anxious.

After taking several deep breaths in succession, which did not change the situation, the Marquis began to adopt a more direct and effective method.

In the cabinet in the corner of the room, the Marquis carefully took out a crystal bottle the size of an adult man's thumb.

Then, he opened the bottle cork more carefully.

Then, the Marquis put the crystal bottle to his mouth.

As soon as he raised his neck, about half of the transparent liquid in the crystal bottle entered the mouth of the Marquis.

call! Hoo hoo!

As he swallowed the medicine, the Marquis began to take continuous deep breaths again. But what was different from before was that with these few deep breaths, the impatience on the other person's face completely disappeared, leaving only a sense of relief and comfort. His expression can even be said to be...

Ecstatic!

The whole process only lasted a few seconds. The Marquis reluctantly twisted the cork and put the crystal bottle into the cabinet again.

"The potions of the Youshen School are really good."

"pity……"

"Cannot be used frequently."

Thinking of the warning from the ghostly sect 'Dole', the Marquis shook his head regretfully.

If possible, he hopes to enjoy this kind of relaxation every day... no, all the time.

"If I take power, I will definitely give more support to the Youshen Sect and let them develop this potion to the extreme!"

Involuntarily, such thoughts arose in the mind of the Marquis.

At the same time, he also heard the sound of swallowing saliva.

Turning his head, the Marquis saw a black figure.

The other person's face was very unfamiliar, yet somewhat familiar.

But what concerned the Marquis the most was the way the other party kept swallowing and wiping his saliva, as well as the look in his eyes when a ferocious beast was preying.

"Who are you?"

"you……"

Subconsciously, the Marquis asked sharply.

Unfortunately, before the Marquis could finish asking, the black figure pushed him away, took the crystal bottle back into his hand, and threw the crystal bottle into his mouth.

With a crunching sound, the crystal bottle was completely chewed, and the liquid in it flowed into the stomach of 'Gluttony'.

Then……

Cough, cough!

"It tastes bad!"

“It’s extremely unpalatable!”

Coughing violently, 'Gluttony' opened his mouth and spit out all the liquid, including the crystal bottle.

For the first time, 'Gluttony' experienced the feeling of being unable to swallow.

There was even a slight feeling of vomiting.

This feeling is unfamiliar to 'Gluttony', and it is something he absolutely does not want to try again. By the way, there is also anger towards the Marquis in front of him.

Obould looked at all this with his mouth agape.

It wasn't until Gluttony cast his gaze again that the Marquis finally came to his senses.

"Don't come here!"

"me……"

The Marquis screamed.

Just like a little girl.

But unlike the innocent sister-in-law, this Marquis screamed in the hope of attracting the attention of the hidden guards around him.

It's just that he won't attract anyone's attention even if he screams.

Especially the sleeping guards.

That’s right, he’s asleep!

A complete sleep, a deep sleep that will not be awakened at all.

'Lazy' leaned against the wall with his eyes squinted, and the warm sunshine made him yawn involuntarily.

"It's so warm."

"So comfortable."

"I really want to sleep."

A sound like gibbering sounded, and the 'lazy' who was leaning against the wall completely collapsed on the ground, as if he couldn't help being sleepy and was about to fall asleep.

In fact, the next moment the snoring started.

Not 'lazy', nor the guards who were already asleep, but a figure that had just appeared in the shadows.

The tattered robes had a slight stench.

After a while, a bunch of bugs fell out of the robe.

Each one was either curled up or stretched out, and without exception fell into a deep sleep.

'Lazy' just collapsed on the ground like mud, looking at the attacker who was not surprised, and kept muttering: "What a trouble! I really want to sleep in the sun!"

The mutterings were filled with complaints.

But in the end, 'Lazy' got up unsteadily and walked towards another street.

There was more than one attacker.

They all need to be dealt with by him.

As for ‘gluttony’?

'Lazy' doesn't expect this guy who doesn't care about anything but eating to be able to help, although according to the best plan, he will deal with this place, and 'Gluttony' will deal with the others around him.

But after the Lord Marquis brought out a drinkable liquid, Gluttony rushed into the room uncontrollably, completely disrupting his plan.

"It's too far off."

"And the other one?"

"It's too much again!"

"Sure enough, am I destined to work hard?"

"Why is this happening? Fate is so unfair."

'Lazy' muttered again, and his progress became slower and slower. However, those people of the Ghostly Forest School hidden in Luerder fell asleep one by one before 'Lazy' could get close.

Warren Palace, Council Chamber.

Mary sat beside the throne, bowing her head on the desk in front of her and drafting a new document.

Although most of the time, such work is completed by the clerk, but this time it represents a completely different meaning.

It had to be done by her herself.

This is the insistence of the underage princess.

The old Earl Adale on the side wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he was stopped by Mary.

"Count Adal, please don't say anything that will embarrass me."

"From the bottom of my heart, I respect you because of what you have done for Warren and because you are a true nobleman."

"But at the same time, I also know how to pay 2567!"

"You treat my father the same as 2567 treats me."

"And I never let someone who has so much faith in me...disappoint."

Mary did not raise her head, and the quill quickly wrote beautiful and sharp words.

The old earl opened his mouth as he looked at the words that appeared one after another, and at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces in front of him. In the end, he said nothing more.

compromise.

Faced with such Mary, the old earl compromised.

With a sigh, the old earl gestured to the silent earl Xilin.

Immediately, a chair was brought over.

In the parliament hall of the palace, few people are qualified to sit down, even Earl Shilling of this generation is still a little short of it.

However, this does not include the old count.

Both because of age and merit.

"You need to make a slight change here. 2567 cannot represent the Warren royal family for the time being. Even if he becomes the regent, the queen will still be you. Therefore, you need to make your position clear. You have to inform everyone that those who have been deprived of their identity , what did the titled noble do.”

The old earl, who was sitting in a chair and looking at Mary's writing, suddenly spoke.

Mary raised her head in surprise, glanced at the old count, and then raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a shallow smile.

"Thanks."

The underage princess expressed her sincere thanks.

"unnecessary!"

"I'm here for the Warren royal family and James, not you."

The old earl snorted, but he was not stingy with his advice.

With her mother's good education, it was still too laborious for Mary to draft such a document. But after the old earl joined, the process became much smoother.

About twenty minutes later, a fully worded document with no holes appeared.

Mary rubbed her fingers and handed the document to the old earl.

The old count was stunned for a moment, then snorted again before taking the document and examining it carefully.

No one will stand in the way of such an inspection.

Even Mary and the young earl held their breath, trying not to disturb the old earl.

Therefore, when some sounds come, it is extremely obvious.

Squeak!

The sound of pushing the door sounded, and the eyes of the three people in the hall instantly turned to each other.

Then, the three of them were stunned.

They all looked at the familiar figure at the door with incredible eyes.
