Don't Call Me A Succubus, I'm Really Just A Warlock!
Chapter 85 Beginning
After eating snacks, Mu En followed the housekeeper to the living room.
Sofia had adjusted her emotions at this time. Her right leg was straddling her left thigh. The black long skirt was lace on the thigh. You could vaguely see the snow-white skin below, all the way to the calf and ankle.
She leaned on the hollow chair behind her, crossed her arms across her chest, and looked straight ahead with a somewhat indifferent expression.
Mu En sat opposite her with a very calm expression. The housekeeper stood beside her, leaned down and picked up the teapot, and filled Mu En and Sophia's cups.
After finishing, the housekeeper took two steps back, then walked behind Sofia and stood like a sculpture.
The gazes that were originally blocked by the housekeeper were now intertwined as she retreated.
Mu En saw herself in Sophia's eyes, and Sophia saw the indifference deep in Mu En's eyes.
She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt that in Mu En's eyes, both she and the housekeeper were like bugs, without any difference, even if she was a noble.
Damn it!
Sophia felt that she actually had the idea of retreating, and roared in her heart, not to be outdone, she faced Mu En's gaze without wavering at all.
Even at the meeting in the city lord's palace, she dared to fight the nobles one by one, so how could she back down here?
What are you afraid of? Isn’t he just a young man?
Although his title is Prince, everyone should call him His Highness.
But this is no reason for you to back down!
After taking over the declining family from her father, Sophia never allowed herself to back down.
No matter what, she must move forward with her father's wishes!
Time passed bit by bit.
Mu En didn't know why Sophia didn't speak, but kept staring at him.
The corners of his eyes were itchy, so he raised his hand and rubbed them.
On the opposite side, Sophia raised her head as if she had won a huge victory.
This made Mu En even more confused.
All I can say is that it’s hard to guess a woman’s thoughts.
At this moment, Mu En missed Sivana and Sister Qin.
No guessing for one, no guessing for the other.
Much better than Sophia.
Since Sophia was not going to speak first, Mu En decided to lead the conversation and open up a breakthrough.
"Ms. Sophia, I'm here to visit this time because I will be staying in Guantes for a long time, so I want to get in touch with the nobles here to get some support."
Mu En smiled mysteriously.
"support?"
Sophia frowned slightly. Mrs. Lois only mentioned in the letter that Mu En would come to visit, but she did not say why.
Now that Mu En has mentioned support, she doesn't want to get involved in some dispute between big nobles for no reason.
After all, Mu En's title is that of a prince, and a position like a prince still needs support, so whether it is what he wants to do or the position he wants, it is not something that a nobleman like Ganteshli can imagine.
Just like the strongest professional in Gantersi is only the eighth level, and at the prince's level, the strength of the bodyguards he carries with him may not be weaker than the eighth level.
"Your Highness is joking, why does a person like you need our support? We are just minor nobles, and the highest rank in the entire Gantersi is only the fourth-class Viscount, which is still several levels behind you. "
Sophia said, she picked up the tea cup in front of her, took out a sugar from the jar on the side, threw it in, and then slowly stirred it.
"Madam, you are overthinking." Mu En stirred in his mind, thinking of a reason to deceive Sophia.
Soon, a sufficient but basically impossible reason for success appeared in my mind.
"The Northern Territory still has no master, right?" Mu En said, "Although there is a Northern Territory Committee on the Northern Territory, after all, the Northern Territory Committee cannot really control the Northern Territory.
What I want to do is to gain your support, gain the support of most of the nobles, and then become the Grand Duke of the North! "
After saying that, Mu En's face was not red and she was out of breath.
If he didn't know how long the Northern Council's hands were, he might have believed it himself.
But he knew that he could still talk so much. Mu En had already endured himself strongly. If he could, he would have dug out three rooms and one living room from the ground.
"North...Grand Duke?!"
Sophia was a little shocked by Mu En's words.
The leader of the North is called the Grand Duke of the North, but this position was vacant more than a thousand years ago.
Until now, no one has been able to sit on it.
But Mu En said that he wanted to become the Grand Duke of the North.
Isn't this more shocking than saying that the Northern Territory Committee is to be replaced?
Becoming the Grand Duke of the North is no different from the difficulty of replacing the Northern Council, right?
Now the Northern Territory Committee relies on the entire Northern Territory to know how nourishing it is. If a Northern Grand Duke appears, then they will have no role.
Therefore, the Northern Council will definitely prevent the emergence of the Northern Grand Duke. Thinking at the worst, the reason why no one has become the Northern Grand Duke in the past thousand years may be that the Northern Council is blocking it behind the scenes.
"Do you know what you are talking about?" Sophia took a deep breath, "I don't know what you are thinking. I just want to say that this is something that is doomed to fail. Even if you get all our nobles, Support is useless.
Because our portions were too low. "
Mu En spread his hands: "How can you know whether it is a success or a failure if you don't try? This is my life. In a limited life, I have to find something to do for myself."
My acting skills are so good! Mu En gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.
He now feels that his ability to tell lies is constantly improving.
"As long as you are happy, I'm just sorry that I can't support you." Sophia said.
A look of regret appeared on Mu En's face: "That's really a bad thing."
"You are still young. I don't think you should consider these things at your current age, Your Highness," Sofia said.
She didn't know Mu En's age, but judging from his appearance, he was probably not yet an adult.
At such a young age, one should not think about these complicated things that belong to the adult world.
"I said, in your limited life, you have to do something meaningful and worthwhile. You don't need to persuade me. Becoming the Grand Duke of the North will be my biggest goal next.
Ms. Sophia, I understand that you don't want to get involved, but I have a favor to ask of you.
As I said, I am not familiar with Geantes, so I need you to tell me the locations of other nobles so that I can visit them one by one. "
Mu En picked up the teacup and took a sip. The rich aroma of tea lingered in his mouth.
Sofia was silent for a moment, then she nodded slowly: "Okay, I can tell you that when you visit me in the future, don't mention me, okay?"
"Then, thank you, Ms. Sophia."
Mu En smiled slightly, her long purple hair falling down on her face. His amber eyes made Sophia suddenly feel panicked.
"It's nothing...it's not troublesome." Sophia said quickly.
But, she was confused.
...
After leaving the Landis family, there was a piece of paper filled with addresses lying inside Mu En's space ring.
Above are the addresses of the nobles in Ganteth. Next, he only needs to find them one by one.
Let yourself enter the aristocratic circle of Geantes first, that's what you need to do next.
Back at the tavern, the tavern owner was standing on a ladder, re-hanging the name of the tavern on the sign.
There was no tavern in Winter Fortress before, but it was for this reason that many people were willing to come here at that time.
Mu En looked up and saw the name of the tavern.
Star and moon flower.
A name that cannot be associated with a tavern owner.
Instead, it looks like a tavern owned by a woman, so it got a name.
Coming down from the ladder, the tavern owner saw Mu En who had just returned here.
"Have you met Little Landis?" the tavern owner asked. As for Sofia's father, the tavern owner called him Old Landis, so he habitually called Sophia Little Landis.
Mu En nodded and opened the door of the tavern: "Let's go in and talk."
Walking into the tavern, because the tavern owner said that he would help the druid girl find her uncle, the druid girl wanted to be a waiter for a period of time as a reward.
Shyvana sat at a table by the window. She folded her hands together and placed them on the table, leaning her head on her elbows. The sun fell on her cheeks, and Mu En seemed to be able to count the eyelashes on her face.
Walking to the corner, Mu En talked a little about what happened in the morning.
The tavern owner was on the sidelines giving advice.
"Since we want to get in touch with the Northern Committee behind these nobles, in addition to building a good relationship, it is best to draw some of them into our camp." The tavern owner paused, "It means, In the camp where you target the Grand Duke of the North."
"I know." Mu En nodded, and he took out the address of the noble family given by Sophia, "Now I'm thinking about which noble family I should visit first."
There are more than a hundred nobles in Guantes, but among them are the lowest barons, and a few nobles are viscounts above baron.
Mu En refers to these viscount nobles. The baron nobles can go at any time, but the viscount nobles must prioritize them.
Otherwise, although no one dares to show dissatisfaction with their princely title, it would be very disgusting to secretly make trouble.
Which ones can be temporarily won over as friends, and which ones just need to be treated normally, all need to be considered.
The tavern owner was lost in thought.
Mu En asked him this. After all, he was a native of Gantes.
Not long after, the tavern owner gave the answer.
He took out a pen and marked the serial number on the noble's address.
Putting aside the grudges, the tavern owner gave the most reasonable order of visits.
This is a visit based entirely on merit and strength.
In the next half month, Mu En was active among various nobles.
He can usually visit three to six nobles in a day, and the Baron family is even faster.
Therefore, after the valuable nobles visited, he had basically seen all the nobles in Guantes.
Mu En did not lie to these nobles about becoming the target of the Grand Duke of the North like he did to Sofia.
He hid this as his deepest purpose and prepared to let these nobles slowly dig into it.
When a person is full of mystery, everyone will show interest in him.
If this person's status is high enough, those nobles who know things in advance that others don't know will be filled with arrogance.
They will autonomously classify themselves as their own, thus creating a sense of contempt for other uninformed people.
In a music hall, Mu En was sitting in a small box. Next to him sat another person, a first-class baron from Guantes, and the next step was a viscount.
"Actually, I'm very optimistic about you, Elio." Mu En said with a smile.
The baron named Elio smiled flatteringly: "I am very honored to be favored by His Highness."
"Do you know that I actually came to Gantes with a purpose?" Mu En looked at the band playing on the high platform below.
Elio's face froze. He knew it. After all, a prince suddenly came to Guantes and frequently visited small nobles like them. It was impossible to say that this prince was just here for fun, right?
So when they were discussing in a small circle of nobles, they guessed that Mu En actually had a hidden purpose all along.
I don’t know what the shady purpose is.
"How many years have it been since there was no Grand Duke of the North?" Mu En said.
"One thousand two hundred and twenty years." Elio said quickly.
He remembered this time relatively clearly, because his family's ancestor was the personal guard of one of the previous Grand Dukes of the North.
"You said this is..." Elio was about to ask in confusion, but suddenly he came to his senses.
"Don't you..."
"Shh!" Mu En raised her finger and put it in front of her lips, "Just know it in your heart. Now, you are the first among the nobles of Guantes to know this secret.
That position has been vacant for so long, but no one can take it.
I feel like this really shouldn't be the case. As you know, I'm young and energetic, so I feel like, why can't that be mine? "
Elio seemed to see the blazing ambition in Mu En's eyes. He did not dare to speak and could only listen to what Mu En said.
"If you want to sit in that position, you must have the support of a large number of nobles, so you should know why I want to contact you.
Now my actions have just begun, and I have not come into contact with many nobles. If you support me from now on, then I can guarantee that in the future, your name Elio will definitely resound throughout the North! "
The reason why Mu En and the tavern owner chose Elio as the breakthrough point was because Elio was one of the nobles who valued reputation the most among the nobles of Guantes.
Therefore, luring him with benefits and attracting him with fame is the best way to deal with Elio.
Now it seems that Elliot really cannot resist the temptation.
Mu En drew a big cake for him.
What was used as a guarantee was actually his title of prince.
There is no need for a prince to lie to a baron like him for fun, right?
Thinking of this, Elio nodded decisively: "I am willing to support His Highness!"
"Okay!" Mu En smiled and took out a wooden sign from the space ring.
This is the tree that the druid girl gave birth to, and then the tavern owner cut it down and made a special wooden sign.
"Congratulations, my first supporter."
Elio took the wooden sign, and Mu En reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"Congratulations, future Marquis, or Earl, you will be glad that you chose the right path today." Mu En said softly.
Elio's pupils trembled, and all his joy was revealed.
After the performance in the music hall ended, Mu En left, and it took a long time for Elio to come back to his senses.
He took a deep breath and walked out of the music hall, when a nobleman who was also a first-class baron came over.
"Elliot?" the baron shouted.
Elio didn't stop, he just glanced at the baron with his peripheral vision, and then thought of what Mu En said to him, and suddenly a feeling of excitement arose in his heart.
Looking at the baron again, his eyes were full of contempt.
