Arknights, my information is updated every day

No matter why the other party comes, you must hold on to him tightly, at any cost!

The countess, who had been hysterical not long ago, quickly regained her former elegance and bowed.

"I'm sorry, I was rude just now."

"Gertrude Strollo greets you, sir..."

Chen Xiu looked at the graceful Gertrude and could only say that she was worthy of being raised by the aristocracy of Leithnia.

"My name is Cyclops, a one-eyed giant who travels through time and across the earth."

The Sarkaz youth gave himself a high status as if nothing had happened, and he created his own identity when he went out.

Gertrude was stunned for a moment, a hint of shock flashing in her eyes.

Cyclops?

There are actually Cyclopses existing on this land?

If I remember correctly, the family texts say that the Cyclops were good at predictions, but they disappeared long ago.

Chen Xiu didn't expect that Gertrude actually knew about the Cyclops race. It seems that the Strolo family, as an old noble family with hundreds of years of inheritance, does have a very solid foundation.

"Lord Cyclopes, please allow me, the humble one, to kiss the dust from your hem."

Gertrude knelt on one knee, her wolf ears trembling slightly with nervousness.

"The Strollo family's five hundred years of collection of books and documents proves that the Cyclops' prophecy shows no mercy. Your presence here at this moment proves that I am still valuable as a chess piece."

She paused, and when she saw that Chen Xiu didn't refute her, she continued.

"Those villains want me to steal the secrets related to the Witch King from the Reina family within three days, otherwise..."

Gertrude lowered her head and sobbed, with broken sobs coming from her throat. Her fragile and helpless appearance was enough to arouse the sympathy of any normal man.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably stop at this step.

But Gertrude suddenly raised her head, letting her tears fall while she let out a firm cry.

"But rather than being a puppet of the Witch King's remnants, I would rather be a note in your composing of the future! If you are willing to grant me a moment of life, the Strolo family and everything in Visheheim will belong to you!!"

Chen Xiu quietly admired Gertrude's performance and gave her an eight.

"As the head of the Strollo family, you are indeed qualified."

Gertrude was delighted, but was sent to hell by the next sentence.

"But you can't trade with me something that is doomed to destruction." Chen Xiu said, snapping his fingers. "Let me show you the final tragedy and end of the Strollo family..."

The faint sound of the piano echoed and penetrated into Gertrude's heart silently.

In an instant, countless broken images flooded into her mind, piecing together the end of Visheim seven years later.

In order to struggle for survival, he accidentally came across the Voice of the World project that his father had once funded.

The tireless research finally brought a moment of respite, but the shadow of the Witch King's remnants never left.

He collapsed under the accumulated fear and pressure, and was determined to die together with the remnants of the Witch King!

Although her plan was not perfect, she had basically calculated every step correctly.

However, his grand revenge plan in the future ultimately failed.

Defeated by a white-haired Caprini boy...

She had planned everything, but she never expected that the boy would sacrifice himself to save everyone!

She couldn't understand why some people, after experiencing so much pain and suffering that didn't belong to them, still chose to believe in beauty, were still willing to sacrifice themselves, and did so without hesitation.

"Friendship, sacrifice, devotion... such childish beliefs should be shattered in reality. Why? Why?"

Finally, an agent of the Queen's Voice took her life.

Gertrude looked at herself lying in a pool of blood, cursing everything like a devil with a heart full of resentment and unwillingness.

"I curse you! I curse the Black Keys to never be able to escape the madness in their blood, I curse the Sunset District to decline, I curse Letania to tremble forever under the shadow of the Witch King, and I curse the Witch King to never find peace in death!!!"

Gertrude fell to the ground, the severe mental shock almost destroyed her psychological defenses.

"Is this the end of me? Haha, it's really ugly..."

The fear of death and the desire for life accompanied her throughout her life, and the flames of revenge would eventually consume both.

If her life was a drama, it was a complete tragedy.

"Do you want to know why you and your family ended up like this?"

Chen Xiu looked at Gertrude, who was slumped on the ground, like a walking corpse, having lost all hope.

"Think about it, how could you find the information about the Earthly Voice Project from your home? How could the Queen's Voice be so careless?"

"Think about it. Why did White Cretaceous come to Visheim at that time? Why was the Black Key, who was under close surveillance, invited to attend your concert?"

Gertrude looked up at Chen Xiu, her body trembling uncontrollably.

She finally realized that the shadow looming over herself and her family was not just the remnants of the Witch King.

"Let me remind you, the infected old man next to Bai Ke is also a Queen's Voice."

Chen Xiu crossed his legs and moved to the other side, and his slow voice slowly revealed the truth.

"From the moment the Queen set her sights on the Strollo family, their destruction was doomed."

Gertrude clenched her fists, and drops of bright red blood oozed from her bitten lips. She finally figured out everything.

The hoarse wolf howl echoed in her throat, and her gray-gold eyes flashed with resentment.

"Helinmart! You shameless bastard with no parents!!"

"Even though we've been banished to Visheim, you still won't let us go!?"

"Uh." Chen Xiu looked at Gertrude in surprise: "Who told you that the mastermind behind this was Queen Herinmart?"

Gertrude froze in her tracks, and asked in a trembling voice, "It's not Herinmart? Could it be Queen Ivignad? No! How, how is this possible!?"

You know, it was Queen Ivignard who pardoned their family.

Otherwise, their family would be stripped of all their status and honor by Queen Herinmat and demoted to the lowest commoners!

"Ruthless authority isn't ruthless, and eternal grace isn't grace." Chen Xiu sighed. "If you were all truly demoted to commoners back then, then these events wouldn't have anything to do with you."

Gertrude's worldview was shattered once again.

How happy I was when I was pardoned, how devastated I am now after knowing the truth.

The Strollo family swore eternal allegiance to Queen Ivignard for this.

Judging from future results, they did indeed do so.

Dedicate everything to the Queen's plan!

"The Strollo family is beyond saving. The best you can do is save yourself."

Chen Xiu seized the moment when Gertrude was most shaken, guided her thoughts with words, and planted a seed.

Then, if Arturo uses his powers a little to ripen her, Gertrude will make a quick decision.

The melodious sound of the piano echoed in the ruins of time, and because it had existed from the beginning, it did not arouse any suspicion.

Gertrude couldn't accept this cruel reality for a moment and thought about everything she knew.

"Do you know why I came to see you?"

Gertrude looked up at Chen Xiu, obviously very curious about this.

"I stumbled upon the echo of the Witch King during my travels through time. Before leaving, he gave me a thank-you gift: the complete version of the incomplete spell from the main tower of Reina Territory."

Gertrude's heart moved, and the pressure was suddenly reduced by half.

As long as she has this thing, she will have completed her mission and will not be wiped out by the remnants of the Witch King.

"Honestly, I just shared some of my experiences in Leithania with the Witch King. There is absolutely no need for him to return such a gift."

Chen Xiu tried to guess the Witch King's state of mind, but he didn't know if it was right or not.

"I think he still has some feelings about the death of old Count Strollo and the decline of the Strollo family."

Herhunzollon is not a heartless and ungrateful person, but he will only make the most rational judgment.

Otherwise, he and Frémont would not have become unforgettable friends.

The fact that the old lich was willing to lend out his life knot was extremely valuable.

Gertrude sighed with loss, never expecting that her only hope would come from the person she hated the most.

But where can I go after giving up the Strollo family?

Leitania definitely couldn't stay here any longer.

And she knew absolutely nothing about countries outside of Leitania.

How can one survive in a foreign country if one loses identity and status, money and power?

If possible, it would be great if I could stay with Master Cyclopes...

He is a big shot who can communicate with Herhunzollon on an equal footing!

But, could he look down on someone like me?

Arturo keenly captures Gertrude's wavering emotions.

Although her butt was aching slightly, she couldn't help herself as she smelled the fun, and her hand accidentally slipped while playing the violin.

In an instant, the rationality that bound Gertrude was severed, and the id instantly overwhelmed the superego and dominated the ego.

A profound change suddenly took place in Gertrude's heart, and all her hesitations disappeared.

All these emotions merged into one, driving her to action.

Give it a try!

How can I know if Lord Cyclopes is willing to accept me if I don't give it a try?

Moreover, there is only one chance!

You must show the most sincere and submissive attitude!

The brown trench coat slipped silently from her shoulders, and the satin lining caused a slight tremor as it brushed against her skin.

Gertrude's gray-gold pupils shrank into a line under the moonlight, and her plump curves wrapped in black lace rose and fell with her rapid breathing. The hollow edges of her black stockings left a rose-shaped mark on her waist and abdomen.

"The dry soil of Visheim cannot bear gorse, but this body, whipped by fate, may yet please you."

She banged her forehead hard on the carpet, her curled toes sank into the thick velvet, and as her waist bent and her hips lifted, it seemed as if two snow-white moons covered with black gauze rose in the night sky.

The silver-gray wolf tail was raised high, swaying in an arc to please its master.

"From now on, there will be no Strollo. Gertrude will become your most loyal blank parchment paper, allowing you to write whatever you want."

Chen Xiu was caught off guard when he saw the Countess kneeling down with her head bowed, as if she was relying on him.

No! What the hell is going on?! Why is this different from what I expected?!?

Chapter 97 Tutu Deserves to Be Punished!!! (3K)

The first person Chen Xiu thought of was Arturo!

According to his original plan, he wanted to use Gertrude and help her at the same time, and then everyone could part ways amicably after escaping from Reina County.

Or he could just be a good guy and take her away from Leithania.

Gertrude is not the kind of good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid. This guy can research the Sound of the World and find something that shows his ability.

Therefore, there is no need to worry that she will not be able to survive outside in the future.

Otherwise, Chen Xiu would not bother to rescue her.
