Chapter 194: Planning
Barnett was overjoyed to learn that the little boy mage in front of him could control the brainworm and control Duke Ferdinand.
He suddenly remembered something and asked nervously: "Little friend Andy, it's not that I'm too suspicious, but I have to be cautious about this matter. Is there any other way you can prove the connection between you and Master Barnett?"
"Didn't I cast a spell just now?"
Andy asked quietly, obviously he didn't dare to reveal his true identity.
"Then...is this enough?"
He rolled up his sleeves, revealing a strange pattern on his arm.
"That's enough! That's enough!"
The Earl of Kent had seen this pattern on Barnett's bald head, and the other party had clearly told him that it was the symbol of the Secret Order.
However, looking at the silly and cute look of this little boy, without even confirming his identity, how could the Secret Society let him come alone without any worries, and the person who escorted him left behind.
Isn’t this too ambitious? Or is this guy just a dispensable little character?
"Okay, little friend Andy, apart from controlling brainworms and releasing flames, do you have any other abilities?"
Andy tilted his cute little head and thought for a while.
"I can also tell whether others are lying and whether they have malicious intentions."
So powerful? Earl of Kent was shocked. Wasn't he translucent in front of this boy?
Unexpectedly, Andy added: "It's just when the other party is unprepared. If the other party can control his thoughts a little, there is nothing I can do."
Earl Kent secretly breathed a sigh of relief, which was nothing to an old man like him.
But this guy is too honest, and he actually took the initiative to reveal his trump cards and weaknesses.
After all, the other party is a member of the Secret Magic Society and is of great use to me, so it's better to be polite.
Malzkent tried to be nice and patted Andy on the shoulder.
"You've worked hard all the way, little friend. Let me entertain you properly."
After saying this, he loudly called the servant and told him to let the kitchen cook a sumptuous lunch.
Andy's eyes lit up when he heard that there was something delicious to eat. It seemed that he was indeed a kid at heart, even though he was a real mage.
The Earl of Kent invited him to walk to the dining room together. The hall was too empty for a child.
Before leaving, he asked his servants to let his son Jais and nephew Emerson come to accompany him. These two people already knew about the Secret Order and their and Barnett's plans, and both expressed their support for them.
They arrived at the restaurant, and while waiting for lunch to be prepared, Earl of Kent wanted to ask Andy about the secret magic society, a mage organization. He thought that the other party was a child and could easily pry open the door, but unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be tight-lipped. He stopped abruptly as soon as he got to the key point, and it was useless no matter how much he made innuendo.
After all, he was an outsider to them. Earl Kent was extremely disappointed. While disappointed, he also became more and more eager to gain the power of magic and be recognized by the mages.
I must complete Mr. Barnett's plan perfectly, Earl of Kent thought in his heart.
"So, how did Mr. Barnett get you to help me?"
The earl murmured in his heart, now that Barnet is gone, who is in charge and who is in charge is a big question. If he had to obey the orders of a bratty kid, he would never be able to do it, even if the other person was a mage.
"He once told me that if he is not here by then, let me follow your instructions - without harming the interests of the Secret Order. Master Barnett said that you know the details of his plan in the northwest."
Ha ha! Earl of Kent was very happy. It seemed that the teacher liked me very much.
"Easy to say, I'm just following the instructions left by the teacher, haha."
While the two were talking, the servants came to the dining room and placed a pile of rich and tempting food on the table.
Jayce and Emerson also came to the restaurant. When the other party saw a child sitting here, they couldn't help but be surprised.
"Come on, let me introduce you to each other."
Earl Kent stood up and put his hand on Andy's shoulder, "This is little friend Andy from 'over there', who came to help us in the name of Master Barnett."
‘Over there’ naturally refers to the Secret Law Society. Earl Kent used this word to refer to this organization when communicating with his two juniors.
So this kid is a mage? Isn't this too outrageous?
"Little friend Andy, these are my son Jaice and distant nephew Emerson. Please rest assured that these two people are absolutely reliable."
Andy stood up and bowed to them, while Jais and Emerson awkwardly bowed to him and gave them stiff smiles.
Everyone sat down and began to enjoy the food.
The servant brought two glasses filled with bright red "drinks" and placed them in front of the Earl of Kent.
Seeing these two glasses of bright red liquid, Andy had an uneasy look on his face.
"Oh, little friend Andy, are you scared?"
The Earl of Kent saw the change in expression on Andy's face and said somewhat amusedly.
"What it contains is just...well, let me think about it...well, today is pig blood. This is the secret of health preservation taught to me by Master Barnett. It is thanks to it that I feel that I have been... Starting to rejuvenate.”
At this time, the Earl of Kent was indeed in high spirits and full of energy.
However, the uneasiness on Andy's face did not diminish at all, and he continued to stare at the two cups.
A perfect poem, a post, a content, a book, a forum, a 6-9 book, a look!
Just when the atmosphere in the restaurant was a little awkward, the little wizard spoke.
"Count, since you are not ill now, stop drinking this stuff."
"Why should you stop?"
"In short, this is very bad, very bad. This is a kind of... relatively unconventional thing. It may have a good effect on the human body in a short period of time, but for a long time... Actually, I have only read it in books, but I still advise you to be cautious. If you can stop drinking, don't continue to drink it."
After the little wizard said this, Count Kent suddenly felt uneasy and put down a cup that he had already picked up.
"Haha, thank you for the reminder from Little Andy. Let's eat, let's eat."
He invited everyone to eat, and everyone picked up their knives and forks and started eating.
"In a few days, I will take Little Andy to pay a visit to the Duke."
The sudden words of the Count startled both Jais and Emerson.
"Is it about to start?"
"Yes, we can't delay it any longer. Although Master Barnett can't get away now, with the help of little Andy, I think it won't be a big problem."
"Father, do you need me to go with you?"
"No, you and Emerson should take good care of the house."
...
Lunch took nearly half an hour. The little wizard seemed to have never eaten such a sumptuous meal. He kept his attention on the food and didn't even pay attention to what the earl said during the meal. This made the earl more assured of him.
But what surprised the earl was that the delicacies of the past tasted like chewing wax in his mouth today, without any taste, which made him very depressed.
"You can personally take Andy to the guest room to rest."
"Yes, father (uncle)."
"Thank you for the hospitality, Lord Earl."
The three got up and left the restaurant, leaving Earl Kent sitting there alone.
After sitting motionless for a while, the earl finally stood up as if he had made up his mind and walked out.
However, just as he reached the door, he suddenly rushed back to the dining table.
The two glasses filled with red liquid were still on the table. The count picked up one with each hand and began to pour it into his mouth...
