Chapter 95 The Baron's Dinner
The town of Sage.
At the Baron's house.
Todd Rackman crossed his arms and looked worried.
The attendant was waiting patiently beside him - he was Todd's new housekeeper, named Charlotte, who was very good at speaking to please the Baron.
Todd couldn't help but ask his attendant: "What should I do? My father has sent someone to pass on the message that the coalition forces are likely to choose Seg Town as their camp. Once they find out that I am colluding with the Burning Embers Nest, then..."
When Todd thought of his father's scarlet pupils, his body trembled uncontrollably.
The attendant simply said: "You must make a choice. You can choose to be a loyal servant of the evil dragon, or you can become... a hero of the family."
"what should I do?"
Todd seemed to be grasping at straws.
The attendant said, "It's very simple. The first step is to get rid of Hart and report the situation here to the family."
Todd gnashed his teeth and said, "Yes, yes, we must get rid of this evil, this traitor, Hart! He was the one who lured this red dragon here. If it weren't for him, how could I have ended up in this situation? This damn lackey!"
Perhaps because he heard the news of war, Hart's supervision of the Baron has been pervasive recently, and he has been acting more and more arrogantly, completely ignoring Baron Todd.
This made the baron extremely dissatisfied, and his hatred for Hart grew even deeper. How could this former slave trader, a lowly human who crawled at his feet, dare to climb over his head?
The attendant offered a suggestion at the right time: "My Lord Baron, perhaps you need a dinner party."
"Oh?"
"Hart is now in a state of rage and has completely disregarded you. He has decided that you are afraid to attack him because of your concerns about the Burning Embers Nest, so you can invite him to the dinner and take this opportunity to eliminate the root of the problem."
Baron Todd pondered for a moment, then slowly lowered his crossed hands.
"Okay, just do it."
"I will let him know who is the real master here"
There was a blood-red light flashing deep in the baron's pupils.
In the dim hall, candlelight flickered.
The long table was filled with sumptuous food, and several soldiers were guarding it.
Hart and the Baron sat on either side of the long table, with the attendant named Charlotte standing beside them.
Hart spoke first, laughing heartily, "My Lord Baron, did you call me here just to treat me to a sumptuous dinner? It seems that even someone as proud as you know how to please others."
Baron Todd showed a false smile on his pale face: "You are right, Lord Hart."
He slowly stood up, straightened his clothes, and then walked behind Hart.
The attendant followed closely behind.
Hart seemed unaware of the danger, and leaned back in his chair, saying smugly, "Why, my dear Baron, are you coming to serve me dinner?"
Baron Todd came behind Hart, and a hint of scarlet appeared in the depths of his pupils.
"Yes, of course it's dinner—"
His tone was somewhat ferocious.
In an instant, Baron Todd pounced forward and bit Hart's neck with his sharp canine teeth.
Only by sucking the blood of this ungrateful human being can Todd's hatred be relieved. He wants Hart to witness the passing of his life.
"Click."
There is no familiar touch of flesh and blood.
Hart didn't dodge at all. His neck, which should have been soft and fragile, was covered with hard red scales, which directly broke Todd's canine teeth.
Baron Todd had a hideous face, and he covered his mouth and exclaimed: "How is it possible--" Hart laughed wildly as expected: "How can a pest like you in the shadows understand the great power of the master!
"Look, this is the noble bloodline of the true dragon!"
Hart then slowly stood up and turned around, his swollen muscles bursting through his clothes.
It turned out that it was not just his neck, but also the sides of his cheeks were covered with scales, but they were blocked by his hair. Even his eyes had turned into golden vertical pupils, and sharp claws grew on his hands.
Baron Todd shouted, "Quick! Guards! Help me kill this monster!"
The soldiers on guard at the side immediately raised their spears, but they did not attack Hart as Todd had expected. Instead, they pointed the tips of their spears at Baron Todd.
Baron Todd's face was suddenly covered with a thick haze, followed by uncontrollable anger: "Damn it! You betrayed me!"
"These lowly humans really can't be trusted!"
He was so angry that he lost his mind and cast a spell directly at Hart.
"Ma Youfu's acid arrow!"
An acid arrow flew towards Hart, but was blocked by an invisible shield.
Baron Todd wanted to cast a teleportation spell to escape, but he found that the room was filled with Whispering Flowers - a special material that suppressed magic, and he could not pass through this space at all.
He became even more annoyed, thinking to himself, "There is a spellcaster? This is a complete ambush, but the prey is me!"
"No, it's Charlotte!"
"You are the biggest traitor!"
Baron Todd turned back angrily, only to find that the usually humble servant was now looking at him with contempt.
【Hypnosis】
There was a strange magical light flickering in Charlotte's hands.
Baron Todd suddenly fell into a deep sleep, fell to the ground, and fell into a magical sleep.
Hart kicked the vampire spawn sleeping on the ground and said cheerfully, "Well done, Charlotte. This vampire rat hiding in the dark is not very powerful, but it has many ways to escape.
"It would be bad if he escaped back to Northwind Keep."
He chuckled, "Poor Baron, he thought it was a trap set for me, but he didn't expect the prey to be himself."
Charlotte said, "Master Hart, what about the reward you promised?"
Hart waved his hand, looking very arrogant: "Don't worry, you will get 500 gold coins, not a cent less. There are also magic scrolls from the Baron's Mansion, and all positions in Sige Town will be reserved for you. As long as you do your best, it will be fine."
Hart was about to kill the vampire with the silver knife, but Charlotte stepped forward to stop him.
"Don't kill him. Lord Trump specifically told him to study vampire derivatives carefully."
Hearing Trump's name, Hart shuddered and sighed, "Tsk, tsk, then this baron is probably asking for death."
When everything was over, the guards revealed their true identities.
——They are all members of the [Magic Coin] Guild!
There are the vice president Mingyue, and the guild members Tianhuo, Weiai Faye, Kabalieba, etc., all of whom are famous mage players in later generations.
Even the maids serving meals were dressed as flying witches.
These players made full use of the advanced flattery techniques they learned in the new era, and provided one-stop service with sweet words. They quickly became the Baron's confidants and infiltrated the Baron's mansion.
Poor Baron Todd thought he had gained confidants who were not controlled by the Burning Nest, but he didn't expect that these were actually players who were after his head.
Charlotte put her hands on her hips and laughed wildly, "Haha, after completing this set of tasks, our guild's funds will be fully replenished. From now on, this Sige Town will be our magic coin territory!"
