Chapter 136 Sudden fall out
The Marquis did not expect Luo Qiu to be so direct. In his circle, when discussing things, one must at least talk about a lot of different things and lay the groundwork before getting to the point.

That's why he took out the difficult-to-brew Hundred Flowers Tea to treat Luo Qiu.

However, the Marquis had also experienced many ups and downs. Although he was a little surprised by Luo Qiu's directness, he quickly adjusted himself and introduced himself: "My name is Bensi Mercedis, and I am a down-and-out nobleman."

"As for why I asked Hans to invite you, it's very simple. I want to see what kind of person the hero who saved Rose Lowe not long ago is."

"Is it that simple?" Luo Qiu asked back.

"It's that simple." Marquis Bensi nodded in affirmation.

"Okay, I'll just take it as that." Luo Qiu didn't dwell on this topic any more, and said, "Now that the Marquis has seen me, is he a little disappointed?"

"I can't say I'm disappointed, but I'm a little surprised." Marquis Benxi smiled and said, "At least in my opinion, Mr. Luo Qiu's appearance is still a little different from the legendary hero."

"You mean I don't look good?" Luo Qiu laughed.

"No, no, no, I just didn't expect Mr. Luo Qiu to be so young. It's really amazing that he can go through a journey that ordinary people can't complete in their lifetime at such a young age."

"At least among the young people I know, there is no one who can surpass you."

After Marquis Bensi's flattery, an ordinary person would have been confused and disoriented. However, Luo Qiu did not show any emotional fluctuations except for a faint smile on his face.

If Luo Qiu had not agreed to Clarence VI's request yesterday, he would not have been so idle as to come to the old marquis's castle as a guest. Even if he just went out for a stroll with Mengli and the others, it would be better than pretending to be nice to a grown man here.

Luo Qiu stood up, looked around, and said with a smile: "I don't object to the Marquis praising me, but it's too demeaning for the Marquis to say that he is a down-and-out noble. A down-and-out noble can place eight warriors who have cultivated fighting spirit in the garden, and also have five magicians, and a strong man like Manuna who is close to the glory level as a butler. I am very curious about how much power those nobles who are not down-and-out control. Can they already rival the royal family?"

Marquis Bensi could no longer maintain his composure. The cup filled with hundred-flower tea fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces. At this moment, he could not care about the damage to his beloved cup. He stood up suddenly with a very ugly look on his face.

"Who gave you this information? Was it Hans? No, he doesn't have the guts to do that. Could it be..."

Looking at the suspicious Marquis Bensi, Luo Qiu had to admire his speed in changing his expression.

One minute ago, she was smiling, as if she had seen her long-lost relatives and friends, and one minute later...

His expression changed so much that even a chameleon was not as good as him.

"Does anyone need to reveal this kind of information? Wouldn't it be all known after just one look?"

What Luo Qiu said was indeed the truth. Even Clarence VI would not have thought that the nobles would contact Luo Qiu so soon, and naturally he did not provide him with much information.

As for the guards and magicians in the castle, including Marquis Bensi, they all thought they were hiding perfectly. Little did they know that in Luo Qiu's eyes, this disguise was no different from streaking.

Marquis Bensi suddenly calmed down. He glanced at Luo Qiu, took out a fist-sized bell from his pocket and shook it three times.

Ding~~~~Ding~~~~~Ding~~~~~~
Although the bell was small, its clear sound could be heard from far away. In an instant, the transparent magic on the eight guards was lifted, and their figures appeared at the same time. The guards rushed to the side of Marquis Bensi, holding weapons and ready for battle.

The old butler Manuna and five maids also appeared at the gate of the garden.

Seeing such a big scene, Luo Qiu shrugged and said, "What does the Marquis mean?"

It seemed that the arrival of Manuna and others gave Marquis Bensi confidence. He retreated behind the guards without leaving a trace and said, "I am old and a little scared. Please bear with me."

"I understand this." Luo Qiu looked as if he understood me.

At this time, Marquis Bensi was too lazy to say any more nonsense to Luo Qiu. At this point, the two of them were only a little bit away from falling out.

Marquis Benxi said in a deep voice: "Mr. Luo Qiu, you are an adventurer. What benefit did Clarence VI give you to make you work for him? As long as you come to our side, the noble faction can provide double the amount!"

"We need strong people like you to join us."

"Is it because of Angele?" Luo Qiu asked casually.

Marquis Bensi's face changed slightly. This young man was not like those adventurers who only knew how to fight and kill. He was so meticulous in his thinking. He thought that he could win him over to the side of the nobles by just a few words. Now it seems that his idea was too unrealistic.

And Luo Qiu’s guess was absolutely correct.

Now the Emperor's faction and the Noble's faction are confronting each other, and the fight between the two sides is almost exposed. The Noble's faction has not dared to push too hard for a long time because of the existence of the 'Imperial Sword' and the 'Royal Valkyrie'.

Angele is a true exception with amazing fighting ability. He once had a glorious record of defeating three glory-level adventurers alone, and he holds the military power firmly and cannot be shaken.

'The Royal Valkyrie' originally held a magic spear and was very powerful. She suppressed all the adventurers of the Kendenia Empire. Her threat level was not much lower than Angele's. However, the noble faction recently received news that the terrible magic spear actually flew away by itself some time ago. As a result, Lauren's threat level was reduced a lot. Although she is still powerful, the noble faction can still gather some strong people to fight against Lauren.

The aristocratic faction urgently needs a strong man who can restrain Angele to break the current dilemma. They should fight with Clarence VI while they still have the strength to fight back. Otherwise, in another five or ten years, with the methods used by Clarence VI, it is really uncertain whether the aristocratic faction will still have a voice in the empire.

When a member of the aristocratic faction learned that there was an adventurer who had shown great skills in the distant Roserowe, he immediately reported it to the leader of their faction. Many people began to think that if this adventurer named Luo Qiu was really as powerful as the intelligence they had learned, he could be recruited to deal with Angele.

But when they were just about to take action, Luo Qiu had already arrived in the imperial capital, and came into contact with the "Valkyrie", and even went to the palace yesterday.

Now the nobles became anxious. They were afraid that Luo Qiu had been won over by Clarence VI. If the emperor had another powerful general, life would be even more difficult for the nobles.

Therefore, the noble faction hurriedly sent out their spokesperson, Marquis Bensi, to contact Luo Qiu. It would be best if they could win him over. If they cannot... just look at the arrangements made by Marquis Bensi in the garden. Since he cannot be used by us, we might as well kill him directly. It is better than Luo Qiu running to the emperor faction. After all, dead people are the most reassuring.

　First of all, I would like to thank my book friend, the full-level player of the different world, for the reward of 10,000. Thank you for your support. I originally planned to update one more chapter when I went home last night, but it was almost twelve o'clock when I got home, and I couldn't even open my eyes. I have been so busy with work these two days that I have to squeeze out time to write during lunch break and dinner. I have to go on a business trip to the capital the day after tomorrow, so I can only guarantee to update every day. If I can slow down at work next week, Lingyu will try to update more, and the extra chapters for the 10,000 rewards will also be made up~ (I would like to thank the friends who voted for the recommendation!)
