"Hmm," Crusch said, rubbing his chin in thought. "That is to say, we need to reach a point of cooperation that is acceptable to both parties."

"Although it's a little difficult to say, Lady Emilia's foundation in the Royal Selection is relatively weak, so we hope that the Duke can provide more assistance."

"It's okay, it's me, Meng Lang,"

Crusch waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Cooperation does require a price acceptable to both parties."

She rested her hand on her chin and thought for a moment. "Hmm, then, in addition to the agreement we've already negotiated, let's also offer assistance with the promotion of the King's Election."

"Count Roswaal's territory is on the border, so I imagine it would be inconvenient for him to handle these matters, right?"

"exactly."

Roswaal smiled and replied, "Oh my, I've been to quite a few places to raise Emilia-sama's profile."

This is not a lie.

Although I am not optimistic about Emilia.

But he also worked hard for Wang Xuan.

For this purpose, he has contacted many nobles who have close ties with him and sought help.

But there is a saying that goes "it's beyond your reach".

This time, the king selection is mainly concentrated in the royal city.

Even though Roswaal was the kingdom's number one magician and a border earl, he was essentially a weirdo in the eyes of other nobles.

Furthermore, the person he recommended was a half-elf who always talked about unrealistic dreams.

With Lin Shu causing such a commotion in the palace, it is conceivable that they will be constrained in every way during the subsequent king selection process.

“Not only the publicity work, but also the preparation can be handed over to my people.

And I promise that if you need help in the future, as long as it does not conflict with the interests of the Karsten family, we will definitely lend a hand."

Crusch spoke again with full sincerity.

"This is really..."

Lin Shu was also a little surprised.

Even though these things may seem like a piece of cake for the Duke's family, don't forget that Crusch himself is also a representative of the King's election.

She helps her competitors, which actually weakens her own advantages.

And judging by her style, she would never go back on her word. "Your Excellency the Duke, we are flattered by your unstinting efforts."

Crusch said solemnly, "Eradicating the white whale that threatens the kingdom has always been the long-cherished wish of the Karlsten family. You can regard this as our determination to succeed. Also, Lin Shu, you can just call me Crusch."

"So, Lady Emilia, what do you think?"

Lin Shu turned to Emilia. The other party had already put the chips on the table, but she still had to make the final decision on whether it would succeed or not.

Emilia was a little touched.

In her opinion, there was no need for Lin Shu to ask for her opinion, because Crusch was originally targeting him, but by doing this, he at least made his position clear.

"Well, the conditions offered by Master Crusch leave us no reason to refuse.

And being able to help the public escape the threat of white whales is also a great achievement."

Emilia said it in one breath, not biting her tongue or saying anything wrong, which made her feel relieved.

That's how the matter was settled.

Everyone left one after another.

Go back to your room.

When Lin Shu closed the door again.

房间①⑦⑨⑥0③7⑨②里却6突然出现了一个本不①⑦⑨⑥0③7⑨②在这里的身影。

The Duke's Mansion is heavily guarded, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to break in without making any noise.

But for elves, they can come and go freely.

Lin Shu turned his head and looked.

I found Beatrice, who looked like a doll, sitting at the head of my bed, looking unhappy.

"Hey, Betty." Lin Shu greeted cheerfully.

"Didn't you say you would be back in two days?"

"Oh, so you missed me."

Lin Shu took off his coat and walked towards the head of the bed.

"Don't be ridiculous, who would want a guy like you?"

Beatrice turned her head away angrily.

Lin Shu deliberately put his face close to Beatrice's ear: "I see, then you must want to conduct a big investigation."

"Who, who wants that?! I just need magic power..."

Beatrice blushed and even bit her tongue.

"How dishonest of you, considering you have such an honest body."

Such joking.

Lin Shu started the magic work after a long absence of two days.

............

Another day.

Roswaal returned to Mezas alone.

Lin Shu and Emilia were left alone to stay in the Duke's Mansion, preparing to deal with the approaching white whale.

Crusch assured Lin Shu and the others.

The white whale will definitely appear within a week at the latest.

To Betty who suddenly appeared.

Lin Shu explained that this was the great elf who had made a contract with him.

Not only did it not arouse suspicion, but it actually deepened the confidence of Crusch and others.

But you can't just sit there doing nothing while waiting.

Emilia took the initiative to ask Crusch to learn about government affairs.

This was originally an act of stealing skills, but Crusch easily agreed to it.

Lin Shu, who was really bored, went to the royal city with Subaru and the butler Wilhelm.

Rather than going out with the contractors, Beatrice chose to stay in the mansion and play with the cat.

Subaru and Wilhelm came to the royal city to do some purchasing.

Because recently, in addition to Lin Shu and Emilia, many other diners have come to the Duke's Mansion.

These are the old subordinates that Crusch has gathered together.

Or they could be mercenaries who had a grudge against the White Whale in the past, and they just want to unite and fight against the White Whale together out of common hatred.

As the number of people increases, the consumption of food and supplies increases.

Especially these veterans and mercenaries who can't live without alcohol.

In order to recruit talents, Crusch would not hesitate to spend this little money. This trip to the capital can be said to be for this purpose.

As for Lin Shu's words, they were simply boring.

..............

"Then let's meet here before five o'clock."

Wilhelm left these words behind, then left with Subaru in the carriage to carry out his business.

Lin Shu was left alone, wandering alone in this strange street of another world.

Talk about it.

He hasn't had a proper tour of the city yet.

However, before he had walked two blocks, Lin Shu suddenly heard a shouting voice coming from the alley.

"Little girl, are you kidding me?"

"Be careful or I'll give your pretty face a black eye."

"Shut up, you are a person of bad character. Even your way of finding fault is so tasteless.

Lin Shu leaned sideways.

Finally, I saw the figure blocked by the tallest and strongest among the gangsters.

A fiery red dress, a proud temperament, and a pair of terrifying breasts on her chest all show her status.

I think it was called the Bloody Bride.

Priscilla.

Lin Shu remembered her name.

The steel fist is like a meteor in the dark night.

In the blink of an eye.

He left the gang lying on the ground crying bitterly.

Lin Shu casually shook off the blood on his fist.

He glanced sideways at the woman opposite him.

"Oh, who am I? I was wondering who it was. Isn't this the knight who caused such a stir yesterday?"

Priscilla held up her rosy lips with a folding fan, her eyes full of charm.

She lifted her skirt and walked in front of Lin Shu.
