Quadruple split

fifteen minutes later

Futaba has stopped her narration, and is now nibbling on a mini water balloon floating in front of her. While moistening her throat, she looks around at the beings standing at the highest level of the Violet Empire's power pyramid. He raised that playful smile.

The oppressive silence did not last long. Except for Duke Buffy Marshall, who had a gloomy expression, and Emperor Clairvaux, who had his eyes closed and did not know what he was thinking, the other six lords soon began to communicate in a low voice. Crystal Grand Duke Wolf and Grand Justice Baroka were discussing something very fast. Grand Duke Fernand stretched his neck to listen, and whispered a word or two from time to time. Grand Duke Hussein, who was highly active throughout the whole process, was asking Deng. In response to the attitude of Archduke Thies, Archduke Simon produced a quill out of nowhere and was writing something on the back of the parchment Futaba gave him. He frequently looked at Clairvaux, but the latter did not. When he opened his eyes, only the frown on his face proved that he was not dozing off or dozing off.

After a while, Futaba yawned a little boredly, and then lazily walked back to his seat along the previous route and sat down. At the same time, the others also stopped talking in a tacit understanding, Zi Hall of Nine became quiet again.

"Hey~" Futaba stretched her body softly like a lazy kitten, raised her index finger to her lips and smiled: "Why am I so proud?"

Archduke Fernand, who was sitting on her left, half-forced himself to laugh twice, and then stopped abruptly when he realized that no one was responding, and he squeezed closer to the inside of his chair in panic.

Grand Duke Crystal Wolf leaned slightly and turned to look at Futaba, and asked softly: "You survived the pursuit of that Baneclaw!?"

"There is another companion of mine." Futaba winked at the former and nodded with a smile: "Of course we all survived just because of luck. Leaving aside that guy, I understand myself anyway. How weak he is, that’s why he worked hard to improve his strength after that, and now he’s finally coming through~"

Emmeline's face blushed slightly, and then she asked curiously: "Have you survived? How strong is your strength now?"

"The most awesome junior mage in the city." Futaba replied seriously.

Emmeline couldn't help but laugh, shook her head and said, "You're not getting ahead of yourself."

Archduke Simon couldn't help but frowned: "Duke Christo, I don't think this occasion is suitable for chatting."

"What are you doing! You were whispering to each other just now and I didn't say anything. Now you can't stand it when I talk to Sister Emmeline about home affairs?" Futaba glared at Archduke Simon, then turned around and said something dissatisfied. The embarrassed Emmeline smiled and said: "After surviving it, I became the most awesome and awesome junior mage in the city. I became famous in the Mage Guild all of a sudden, and then I became a little old lady. He came all the way and said he wanted to be my mentor, tsk tsk, and then I would have someone to back me up~"

[It turns out that her so-called success has nothing to do with strength...]

Emmeline nodded, then gave Archduke Simon an apologetic look, and asked Futaba not very eagerly: "Who is it?"

She planned to end this 'family affair' as soon as possible. After all, it would be too stupid to offend Archduke Simon just because she was chatting with a girl she really liked.

result……

"She said her name is Anatarasha." Futaba curled her lips, folded her arms and muttered: "That was a big statement. But when I asked, I found out that she was just a great mage. To be honest, if it weren't for her That vice president badge doesn’t look fake, I don’t want to deal with that guy.”

"Oh, it's good." Emmeline replied casually in a very perfunctory manner, and then her eyes suddenly widened: "Wait, you said it's Anatarasha!?"

The people around him also showed incredulous expressions, and even Clairvaux opened his eyes.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Futaba seemed to be taken aback by everyone's reaction, and asked quickly: "Is he a particularly famous liar?"

Emmeline shook her head stiffly: "Of course not..."

"The vice-president of the Salamun Magician's Guild, Master Anatarasha, although his professional title is only Grand Mage, but..."

Archduke Fernan swallowed hard and showed a dry smile to Futaba: "But she is the great mage of the six elements of fire, frost, arcane, thunder and lightning, light and space."

Futaba blinked cutely: "Then, is it very strong?"

"Miss Futaba, you are a mage yourself. You shouldn't be unclear about the concept of the six-series great mage, right?" Grand Duke Dantès shrugged and spread his hands and said, "Even we may not come to Sara once in these years. Everyone in Munn has heard of Vice President Ana’s name.”

"But if I remember correctly, Master Ana doesn't look like a little old lady. She looks like she is only in her twenties." Grand Duke Baroka cast his doubtful eyes on Futaba, thoughtfully He touched his stubble-covered chin: "Did you really get cheated?"

Futaba shook her head: "She does look like she is in her twenties."

"Huh?" Baroka was taken aback and said hesitantly: "Didn't you just say..."

"But this doesn't conflict with the fact that she is a little old lady, right?" Futaba rolled her eyes and hummed: "She told me herself that she is over ninety. Isn't it true that a human being is over ninety? Old lady? Really, something went wrong in an experiment and ended up keeping you young forever. It’s so illegal, too excessive, and not magical! I’m so envious..."

Baroka was stunned for a moment, and then asked anxiously: "So she is really willing to be your mentor?"

"Ahem, I reluctantly agreed to let her be my mentor, Grand Duke Baroka." Futaba corrected her seriously.

Scorpius Hussein snorted: "Is that what you said? Although Master Ana is the vice-president of the Imperial Magician Union, she rarely appears in front of outsiders. Even us lords basically don't. Having met her, how can you prove that she is your mentor?"

"How to prove it..."

Futaba smacked her lips in distress, and then clapped her hands fiercely: "Ah! I remember, Tarasha told me that Grand Duke Baroka confessed to her more than ten years ago!!"

"Haha, it's really ridiculous, this kind of... eh? Grand Duke Baroka?!"

Hussein had just finished speaking when he realized that Vernon Baroka, who was sitting diagonally across from him, was slowly blushing and was winking at Futaba.

The latter seemed not to have seen it at all, and still said to himself: "Talasha also told me that she replied to Grand Duke Baroka with five words without saying a word..."

"Isn't this nothing?" Grand Duke Crystal Wolf's spirit of gossip seemed to be on fire. Even Archduke Fernand and Grand Duke Dantès looked over with interest.

Baroka blushed and waved his hands to Futaba: "Stop talking, stop talking, I believe you, and I am willing to bear the burden of my personality for you..."

"Go home and play with eggs."

Futaba solemnly recited Anatarasha's answer to Grand Duke Baroka twelve years ago, and then blinked and looked at Fernando who was across a chair from him (there was also Grand Duke Fernando on the chair). Nong Baroka: "What did you just say?"

The latter drooped his head dejectedly: "Nothing..."

"Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh~" The crystal wolf, who was lying on the table until he was shaking with laughter, took a long time to straighten up, nodded to Futaba with a smile: "Okay, okay, Shuangye." Sister Ye, I think everyone should be very clear about what you mean. Let’s end the topic about Master Ana~"

The latter glanced at Buffy Marshall, whose face became increasingly gloomy, and smiled meaningfully: "It seems that's what happened."

What she means is very simple, and everyone here can guess it...

The reason why Futaba deliberately mentioned that his current mentor is Anatarasha, the vice president of the Salamun Mage Union, is simply to make Grand Duke Baroka want to dig a hole and bury himself in it...

It is definitely wrong to think so.

Her purpose is to sound a warning to these people here, so that those who may have ulterior motives will not dare to touch her casually.

Of course, these grand dukes are not really unworthy of Tarasha, but Futaba has still very successfully increased the cost of others hurting themselves. After all, the girl has already revealed her identity to everyone in her previous detailed narrative. , except for her status as the senior advisor of the Fire Claw Territory, she is just a low-level mage with no qualifications, no background, no title, and no background. A month ago, she was just a low-level mage in the Marshall Autonomous Army~

Even if this is the royal capital of the Violet Empire, there are many ways for a big noble to kill her without leaving a trace...

Maybe no one would dare to touch Futaba in the next sensitive period. Maybe the aura of Duke Fire Claw can also surround her. Maybe now that she not only has the evidence, but has even become a witness herself, she doesn't need to worry too much about this. Kind of thing, but situations are always relative.

The more feared someone is, the more valuable they are to be killed. Futaba knows this very well, so she has to add a few more layers of insurance for herself. It is not enough to rely solely on the convenience of the player's identity and Cassie's protection.

Since the well-known Master Ana happened to come to the door, and indeed expressed that he wanted to protect him, it would be a shameful waste not to show off and show off.

Of course, it's not entirely true that someone just happened to find him. There are still many elements that Futaba deliberately promoted, but I won't go into details about such innocuous details here.

In short, after making sure that everyone understood the spirit with high IQ, Futaba sat obediently in her seat and stopped talking.

Although no one present at this moment would think she was 'well-behaved'.

"Buffy." Emperor Clairvaux glanced at the Archduke Marshall and said softly, "You can express your opinion now."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Buffy Marshall stood up, bowed to Clairvaux, then looked around at the people who were focusing their eyes on him, and finally met Futaba's eyes. He exhaled softly, and then unexpectedly revealed A relaxed smile: "First of all, I want to apologize to you for my previous attitude. Miss Futaba, if what you just said is true, then you who are standing here at this moment can definitely afford it." The word hero."

The faces of Grand Duke Crystal Wolf and Grand Duke Baroka were full of disbelief, and no one else, including Futaba, showed any obvious emotions.

"Heroes, no, only dead people are called heroes. And even if someone wipes my neck one day, there is absolutely no way I can have anything to do with these two stressful words." Sitting directly opposite Buffy Marshall Futaba shook her head noncommittally, spread her hands and said, "So please start your defense as soon as possible."

Archduke Marshall nodded. He pondered for a few seconds, and then slowly spoke with a solemn expression: "I smell the smell of conspiracy, a huge conspiracy involving many, one that will combine me, Archduke Fire Claw, and Scott." A huge conspiracy that involves Grand Duke Pi and even the entire empire."

"There is no doubt that this matter is related to you." Archduke Baroka narrowed his eyes, then slapped the parchment in front of him hard, and shouted in a low tone: "The key is that you played a role in this so-called conspiracy. What a role!”

Grand Duke Hussein frowned: "Calm down, Vernon, obviously Buffy hasn't finished speaking yet."

"And your character, Scorpius." Vernon Baroka tilted his head and glanced at him, his dark blue eyes flashing with cold anger: "I just hope your humanity is not so bad. , such as fishing for those blood-stained gold coins and so on."

Dong Dong Dong~

Archduke Simon knocked on the table hard and shook his head at Archduke Baroka: "I also ask you to be quiet for a while, Vernon."

"It doesn't matter, each of us knows each other's character very well. Vernon just said what he wanted to say." Marshall smiled at Archduke Baroka and said with a smile: "You should know that Baneclaw has been Are you all working for the Marshall family?"

The latter snorted: "Of course, and I also know that his reputation is not good."

"People always have shortcomings of one kind or another." Buffy Marshall sighed, and then smiled bitterly: "But I seem to be too tolerant of that guy. In fact, there is one thing that you may not know yet. Originally, under my command Benneklaw broke away from the Marshall family two months ago and took away several of my personal collections without even saying hello~"

Everyone looked thoughtful, and Grand Duke Baroka choked up at that moment. It took a while before he recovered: "What do you mean?"

"Literally." A hint of gloom flashed in the Grand Duke Marshall's eyes, and his tone gradually became lower: "Actually, I just thought that he was tired of living a life without fighting against the world, or that he had some feelings for me, a stingy employer. Dissatisfied, I planned to go back to the days of licking blood from the edge of a knife, but..."

Futaba looked at him coldly: "But after listening to what I said, you suddenly realized that maybe the class is not that simple?"

"Yes."

"You fart."
