Chapter 137: The Furious Marquis Bensi
"As long as you can join the nobles, we will use a lot of resources to push you into the army. By then, you will be a general of the empire. If you can suppress Angele, then the Kendenia Empire will let you run rampant. Even the emperor will have to act according to your will!"

There was a strong temptation in Marquis Bensi's words, and he was looking forward to Luo Qiu's answer.

Although Luo Qiu did not behave like a young man, Marquis Bensi believed that the bait he threw out was enough to make anyone tempted. Think about it carefully, what does it mean to be able to rule the empire at will? It means endless gold coins, endless beauties, and tremendous power. How many young people can resist such temptation?
Besides, Marquis Bensi was sure that even Clarence VI could not offer such a price.

Luo Qiu sighed helplessly, shook his head, and walked directly out of the garden.

After taking only two steps, Luo Qiu paused. He lowered his head and stared at the ground, as if he wanted to see through it.

But it didn't last long, just two or three seconds. Luo Qiu raised his head, his face turned a little colder, and he continued to walk.

Everyone except Luo Qiu suddenly felt the temperature around them drop a little, and even Marquis Bensi shivered unconsciously.

When he reached the door, he was faced with Manuna's hawk-like eyes and five female magicians who were eyeing him covetously.

"Are you sure you don't want to move out of the way?" Luo Qiu looked at Manuna coldly.

At this moment, Manuna was completely different from the honest and dutiful butler he had been before. His slightly hunched back was now straight. After hearing Luo Qiu's words, the muscles on his face twitched a little, but he did not move at all. It was as if there were nails under his feet, and he did not move at all.

No one knew better than Manuna how powerful Luo Qiu was. During the initial tentative handshake, Manuna discovered that the person in front of him was an unreachable peak, and he could not see its top even if he looked up.

There is only one possibility if you fight with Luo Qiu - being killed. There is no other option.

So he reminded Marquis Bensi, but unfortunately Marquis Bensi was too arrogant. The habits he had developed over the years made him accustomed to his noble status as a noble and looked down on common people. Even though he knew that Luo Qiu was an extraordinary adventurer who could even be compared with the "Imperial Sword", he did not take it too seriously. In Marquis Bensi's cognition, no matter how powerful Luo Qiu was, he was just one person and could never fight against the lineup assembled in the castle.

Even though he tried hard to conceal it during the conversation with Luo Qiu, that condescending tone would still show through, so Luo Qiu didn't bother to waste time talking to him and directly tore off his disguise.

Manuna had no choice. He had been brainwashed since childhood and had been instilled with the idea that he should always be loyal to the Mercedis family and everything should be based on the will of his clan members.

Since Marquis Bensi didn't say anything, he couldn't give in.

"Marquis, is this your sincerity?" Luo Qiu no longer targeted Manuna, but turned to Marquis Bensi.

It has been a while since Luo Qiu came to the other world. He can see that the humans in this world seem to be too weak. Even those glory-level adventurers and exceptions who are praised to the sky are just so-so in his eyes, not to mention these second-rate warriors and magicians. Only Manuna is slightly decent.

Luo Qiu’s confidence comes from his own strength, so his words become impolite.

At least that's what Marquis Benxi thought.

"Unfortunately, it seems that our cooperation has failed." Marquis Bensi gestured, and three guards stayed where they were, while the other five slowly walked towards Luo Qiu, and the five female magicians also came out.

Luo Qiu glanced sideways and watched the guards and magicians surround him without trying to stop them.

"Originally, you had the opportunity to control the lifeline of the empire, but unfortunately you are a young man who does not know the current situation and even loses your life." Marquis Bensi sighed softly, as if he felt sorry for Luo Qiu.

"If I were you, I would place some more archers there. That way it would be safer." Luo Qiu said, pointing to the top of the castle.

Marquis Bensi's eyelids jumped. Even at this point, this young adventurer was still leisurely instructing him on the layout of the castle. Was he not afraid of death at all? Or...
Thinking of a possibility, Marquis Bensi subconsciously denied it. No, even if Angele came here in person, he would not be able to escape easily.

These guards were all people who had cultivated fighting spirit, and their fighting skills were no worse than those of some silver-level adventurers. The magicians were even able to use intermediate magic.

Perhaps no one can be Luo Qiu's opponent in a one-on-one fight, but in many cases, one plus one is greater than two. The advantage in numbers plus the increase in magic can make up for the gap in physical fitness and skills.

So Marquis Bensi naturally thought that dealing with Luo Qiu was just a piece of cake. Although he knew about Luo Qiu's amazing record in Roselowe, he still didn't take it too seriously.

Nobles who had never left the imperial capital naturally had no idea how terrifying monsters were. Some ignorant people even believed that monsters and magical beasts were just ordinary wild beasts boasted about by fearful adventurers.

Having mobilized a total of ten people, Marquis Bensi felt that he already thought highly of Luo Qiu.

"Keep quiet and don't dirty my garden," ordered Marquis Bensi.

These precious flowers and plants are not easy to collect, and cultivating them to the current scale has consumed a lot of energy of Marquis Bensi. He does not want these flowers and plants to be stained with blood, and he plans to continue brewing hundred-flower tea in the future.

After receiving instructions from Marquis Bensi, the five guards jumped high at the same time and jumped behind the magicians.

The moment the guards leaped up, the female magicians raised their wands, chanted the last verse of the spell, and released the magic they had prepared for so long.

"The favor of the God of Fire - the Spear of Fire!"

Five spears condensed from flames appeared in front of the magicians. The temperature in the garden rose suddenly. Occasionally, one or two sparks splashed onto the flower bed, and a large area of ​​flowers and plants instantly burned.

"You bunch of rubbish!" Marquis Benxi cursed. He pushed the guards around him and shouted, "What are you still doing here? Go put out the fire! Rubbish!"

Marquis Bensi was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He didn't expect that it had just begun and his garden was almost burned down. If this continued, would the castle be demolished?

Seeing Marquis Bensi Luo Qiu with a face as black as the bottom of a pot, he sneered slightly, this was just the beginning.

You have to know that these magicians are still some distance away from the flower garden. How could they set all the flower gardens on fire by such a coincidence? It is natural that he did some tricks in this. However, he was very satisfied with Count Bensi's angry expression.

"Next is..." Luo Qiu glanced at the flaming spears that were already close at hand and shook his head slightly. He was too lazy to dodge magic of this level and let them bombard him.

In an instant, Luo Qiu's entire body was engulfed in flames, and all people could see was a ball of fire burning where Luo Qiu was standing.

"I thought there would be some surprises, but it turns out he is just a idiot. How can such a person compete with Angele? He wasted all my efforts and burned my babies. I will use his ashes to fertilize my flower beds later." Marquis Bensi said viciously. When he saw Luo Qiu being hit by magic, he felt a little better and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, was relieved.

"It's a bit hot, but this temperature is not enough to make me sweat."

Luo Qiu's voice came from the flames, and Marquis Bensi's face froze with an expression of disbelief.

Not to mention Marquis Bensi, even the five magicians and the guards were as surprised as if they had seen a ghost when they saw Luo Qiu slowly walking out of the flames.

Only Manuna appeared to be a little calmer. He already knew that a strong man like Luo Qiu could not be easily destroyed by just a few magic spells.
