After handing the invitation to the butler at the door, a maid soon led Gu Sui Nuan into the banquet.

The banquet hall was decorated exquisitely and magnificently. Gu Sui Nuan arrived relatively late, and there were already quite a few nobles at the banquet, most of whom were dressed gorgeously, noble and elegant.

When they saw Gu Sui Nuan, who was still dressed in white and wrapped tightly, the nobles looked at her with inquiry, contempt, and disdain.

Gu Sui Nuan didn't care. She came to the appointment today because Duke Campbell had promised Gu Sui Nuan that he would introduce her to the prince of this country and the bishop of the church today.

If Gu Suinuan wants to overthrow the Pekka family, he must make friends with these two forces.

Gu Sui Nuan had not stayed at the banquet for long before a maid walked towards her and invited her to the reception room on the second floor.

The Duke of Campbell was meeting guests there. Next to him was his son who had just recovered from a serious illness, and opposite him sat a young boy dressed in extravagant clothes.

Sitting directly opposite the door was an old man wearing a platinum robe, with a white beard and white hair.

As Gu Sui Nuan approached, Duke Campbell stood up and came over to greet Gu Sui Nuan.

"Ms. Shan Xi, this is our eldest prince, and this is the bishop of the church."

"You two, this is Ms. Shan Xi, who now relies on oriental medicine to treat illnesses and save lives."

The Duke of Campbell gave a brief introduction.

"Hello." The young boy looked timid and well-behaved, but it was hard to imagine that he was a prince.

"Our king has only one heir, and the eldest prince has always wanted to make friends with you."

Duke Campbell continued.

"Yes, I heard that Ms. Shanxi is very powerful. If the royal family needs help, they will ask you to treat them." The eldest prince continued, and then looked at Duke Campbell, and then looked at the bishop who had been silent.

It was as if the eldest prince was not a person of high rank, but someone who followed the orders of the Duke of Campbell and the Bishop.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness, for supporting my business." Gu Sui Nuan said politely and looked at the old man again.

Only after being looked at by Gu Sui Nuan did the old man put down the tea in his hand and spoke slowly.

"Ms. Shan Xi, on behalf of the church, I want to thank you for treating the civilians. Your clinic has saved the church a lot of trouble."

The old man had a smile on his face and looked very friendly.

"If you have any trouble, you can also seek help from the church."

"...I really need to trouble you with something."

Gu Sui Nuan had previously learned from Ian that the person with the strongest magic in this country should be the bishop of the church.

Gu Sui Nuan had been trying to find a way to terminate the master-servant contract she had signed with Elrod, but she didn't remember the magic circle of the contract at all, and Elrod was unwilling to tell her.

Most people who know magic are unable to help Gu Sui Nuan break it because they are unsure of the specific formation.

This bishop might understand what this contract is and how to cancel it, or maybe he could help Gu Sui Nuan cancel it since he has powerful magic.

"Duke Campbell, let me talk to Ms. Shan Xi alone."

After hearing Gu Sui Nuan say that there was something troublesome, the old man did not refuse, but asked Duke Campbell and the others to leave first.

It seemed that the old man had the highest status among these people. Duke Campbell left without saying a word, taking his son and the eldest prince with him.

Soon, only Gu Suinuan and the old man were left in the living room.

"Please sit down." The old man asked Gu Sui Nuan to sit down, picked up another teapot on the table, poured a cup of milk and placed it in front of Gu Sui Nuan.

"Thank you."

Gu Sui Nuan thanked him but didn't rush to drink.

"Ms. Shanxi, can you please tell me what you want to ask of me?" The old man went straight to the point.

"It's like this. I want to ask you, is there any way to help me cancel the master-servant contract? I can't remember the specific magic circle, but after signing this magic circle, it will be branded on the servant..."

Gu Sui Nuan described it carefully, but keenly noticed that the old man, who had a peaceful aura just now, became a little unhappy.

"In fact, the method to cancel the master-servant contract is very simple. All you need to do is for Ms. Shan Xi to kill your servant, and there will be no connection between you two."

The old man's voice turned a few degrees colder.

Gu Sui Nuan was silent, feeling strange. Why did she feel that the bishop's words had become much more aggressive?

"Is there any way that doesn't involve killing him?"

Gu Sui Nuan didn't want to use this contract to restrain Elrod, even though she could see that the old man was unhappy, she still continued to ask.

"No, killing him is the only way. Ms. Shan Xi, since you want to get rid of your servant so much, killing him shouldn't be difficult, right?"

It's so strange, why does Gu Sui Nuan feel that this old man is being sarcastic?

"Forget it, sorry to bother you." Gu Sui Nuan stood up, not wanting to communicate with this weird old man anymore.

The old man said nothing more and just watched Gu Sui Nuan leave.

After leaving the reception room, Gu Sui Nuan asked the passing maid where Duke Campbell was, and prepared to say hello to him and go back.

The window closest to Gu Sui Nuan suddenly shattered with a noise, and a dark shadow rushed out from outside and rushed straight towards Gu Sui Nuan.

A black monster with fangs and twisted limbs sniffed the surroundings and suddenly pounced on Gu Sui Nuan. Gu Sui Nuan raised her foot and kicked the monster, which hit the wall hard and could not be unhooked.

[Nuan Nuan, behind.]

Because he was paying attention to the shadowy shadows flashing outside the window from time to time, Gu Sui Nuan did not notice that the maid took out a knife from her sleeve and stabbed at Gu Sui Nuan.

Gu Sui Nuan was a beat slow, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

Gu Sui Nuan saw the dagger in the maid's hand pierced the abdomen of the old man.

Blood stained his gorgeous white and gold robes.

Gu Sui Nuan kicked the maid unconscious, then frowned as he looked at the bishop who was covering his wound and looked seriously injured.

No, didn't Ian say that the bishop of the church was the most powerful magician? It's okay that he's not good at magic attacks, but is it a normal person's reaction to use his body to block the knife?

Gu Sui Nuan was afraid that the old man would simply abdicate, so she quickly helped him into the living room, took out the medicine she had prepared in her space, and began to treat him.

After Gu Sui Nuan bandaged his wound with decoction and ointment, he found that the living room was already full of people.

"Bishop, are you okay?" As the host of tonight's banquet, Duke Campbell felt very sorry for the incident and was afraid that the old man would hold him accountable.

"fine."

The old man's complexion recovered a little. He looked at the ointment that Gu Sui Nuan had casually placed on the table, picked it up and took a look.

"I didn't expect that the combination of these plants would be more effective than potions made with magic. We only need to add a little bit of healing magic, and the wound can be healed in a short time."

The old man looked very surprised, and looked at Gu Sui Nuan and extended a sincere invitation.

"Ms. Shan Xi, are you willing to cooperate with the church to create more powerful special medicines? In this way, the church will not have to spend more magic power to make potions, and these ointments will work faster."

The topic took an inexplicable turn, but the conditions for cooperation proposed by the old man were very tempting.

From now on, the church will no longer use magic to make potions, but will get them directly from Gu Sui Nuan. In return, the church can use healing magic to make all the herbs in Gu Sui Nuan's clinic work faster.

This cooperation completely cut off the way for the Pekka family to purchase the church's medicines and then sell them.

Even with the church's magical blessing, Gu Suinuan's clinic business will be even more prosperous.

Is this progress going too smoothly?
