Quadruple split

"what do you want?"

Grand Duke Baroka pushed the half-can of spirits left in front of Mo Tan and shrugged his shoulders: "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare any extra cups, but I really want to drink some with you now, Dabus." gentlemen."

"Easy to say, easy to say~" Mo Tan laughed, casually took out from under his robe a colorful crystal bowl from the Liuli Pavilion high-end suite, with the logo of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce on it, which was supposed to be just a decoration, and scooped out most of the pungent bowl. He brought the strong drink to his mouth and drank it all. Then he smiled without changing his face and said, "I want a lot."

Baroka looked at the gentle 'poet' in front of him with some astonishment. He didn't expect that this half-elf guy was so tough. Not only did he drink as he was told, but he also drank more than half a bowl of [Gong Huo Lie] which most dwarves could not tolerate. He actually acted as if nothing was wrong. Someone else might have been stunned by this moment, but this guy smacked his lips with unsatisfied thoughts, and his eyes gradually turned fiery when he looked at [Gong Huolie]

This wine is worth more than gold coins of equal weight, how can it withstand such an animal's drinking method!

It would be fine if the other party knew how to drink, but Anthony Dabbs, who seemed to be drinking water, was obviously not a qualified drinker, so Grand Duke Baroka immediately pulled back the wine can and smiled awkwardly but politely: "It doesn't matter, I think. Tell me what you want slowly."

At this moment, Mo Tan, who had eight layers of [Drunkenness] DEBUFF on his body, first glanced at the remaining [Gong Huolie] reluctantly, and then gently nodded and said: "First of all, please allow me to confirm you one last time. On Judgment Day, Mr. Vernon, will you cast a sanction vote or an observation vote?"

In fact, even though the system forcibly offset part of the alcohol that would knock ordinary people down, Mo Tan is still in intense discomfort. His head and eyelids have become extremely heavy, and there is a burning cramp in his abdomen. The pain and the extremely choking smell of alcohol between his lips and teeth almost made him suffocate. Not only that, his senses also became much duller than usual, making it difficult to concentrate...

But these are not insurmountable problems. For some people who can perfectly control their bodies and minds, before their alcohol intake reaches a series of irresistible physiological thresholds such as fainting and vomiting blood, they are different from normal people. There will be no difference in the state. It is true that these people will also feel various discomforts, will also have various impulses that they do not usually have, and will also have difficulty controlling their expressions and movements. However, a strong enough willpower can make They behave as usual, which is not uncommon in reality, and is usually translated as 'hard-wearing' or 'hard-wearing'.

If you hold on and pretend to be like a cow, you will be like a cow.

If your secret is exposed, if you lose control, you are stupid.

And how far can Mo Tan hold on at this moment?

To put it simply, in this game where there is no way to drink to the point of gastric bleeding or fainting, and can only cause intense discomfort, he can probably drink three strong men with the same drinking capacity as the Grand Duke of Baroka by himself.

Although this will make Mo Tan very, very uncomfortable, as long as he is willing, he can still continue to toast with you with a normal expression.

All in all, even though he slightly took advantage of his status as a player, Mo Tan, who currently has a "chaotic neutral" personality, can indeed afford the word "cow" when it comes to drinking.

It’s not ‘able to drink’, but ‘able to hold’, and when it can hold up to a certain level, the effect is no different from ‘able to drink’.

"Sanctions."

Grand Duke Baroka answered without thinking. He poked a piece of half-cooked barbecue with blood streaks on it and stuffed it into his mouth. He hummed softly: "Before, I just felt unhappy with the Marshall family, but now...heh, let that kind of person It is too dangerous to live well, whether it is for the empire, for my Baroka family, or for those innocent civilians, so even if you don't come today, my decision will not change."

This answer did not surprise Mo Tan at all, so he just nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "Who is the person sent by Marshall to find you? When did he arrive?"

"It should have been when the sun just set." Baroka touched his stubble and said solemnly: "That was a half-orc man with no characteristics. He was of leopard man blood, very thin, and spoke common language. It was very standard, he conveyed to me the conditions given by the Marshall family, and then left without saying a word."

【It's really strange...】

Mo Tan frowned slightly and noticed something unnatural.

One of the more obvious points is that the person who came to the Grand Duke of Baroka on behalf of the Marshall family only conveyed the conditions, but did not say much about the matter, even though the Grand Duke of Baroka had previously implicitly stated that the Marshall family The conditions proposed were very generous, but for Vernon Baroka, who had previously confronted him tit for tat in the Purple Nine Hall, just promising some conditions would not easily produce any decisive effect. Although Mo Tan was confident, he did not take it seriously. Others treat it as an idiot's bad habit. He feels that since he and Futaba can see that Vernon Baroka is much more delicate than he shows, then Buffy, who is also a Grand Duke and has a very deep city, has no reason to see it. Not coming out.

If the Grand Duke of Baroka is indeed what he appears to be, then there is indeed nothing wrong with the actions of the previous messenger, because it is obviously impossible to reach an agreement, but...

"I'm also curious as to why Buffy didn't have someone try to win me over."

Seeing Mo Tan suddenly start to lower his head and ponder, Grand Duke Baroka took the initiative to fill in the doubts in his mind: "This is very abnormal."

【not only that. 】

Mo Tan nodded calmly, but his mind drifted to another thing, which was the 'representative' himself who came to find Duke Baroka.

You must know that Marshall is currently under house arrest. Not to mention Cassie, who was sent by Futaba to the Mercury Court to monitor, even the royal family has sent a large number of secret guards to monitor nearby. Normally speaking, in this case, the chin Fimarshall could only passively wait for other lords to come to him to 'negotiate' according to the rules, instead of sending envoys to actively convey intentions and set conditions to others, because he simply couldn't do it.

But a messenger actually came...

The flat-footed girl who is less than 1.6 meters tall did not remind herself tonight that someone had left Mercury Court before.

Various intelligence also showed that there were no players among the entourage that rushed to Salamoun with Buffy Marshall, so it was impossible for him to find someone to run errands for him through channels such as friends' messages.

Through the previous exchange of information with Futaba, it can be determined that the Marshall family does have magic items that can communicate remotely, but the one from Mercury Court has been taken away.

Then this gives rise to three possibilities...

First, Buffy Marshall possesses some unknown secret technique that allows him to contact the outside world without the help of props or players. Mo Tan himself has some clues about this, but it is actually difficult to explain. , because Futaba said that when she proposed to move the Marshall group to the Red Garden so that they could not use the magic device to transmit information, the Grand Duke was really panicked. If he had a backup method, he should have Much more calm.

Second, between the time when the investigation team reported back its results and when Sakfrith appeared in the Purple Nine Hall to testify, Marshall, who was temporarily released from house arrest, obtained a set of communication equipment again as quickly as possible, so even if Futaba General The fact that the one in Mercury Court had left would not prevent him from contacting others, but Mo Tan had not entered the situation at that time. Buffy Marshall could not have expected that the situation would evolve to the extent it is today, and in order to show his innocence, he did not ...At least on the surface, no one under his command rushed to Salamoen to meet him, so the possibility is not very high.

Third, he got a helper, a helper who was not affiliated with the Marshall family but knew enough about the situation. The latter first rushed to Mercury City before Idong and the members of the investigation team and leaked the information without anyone knowing. Due to the situation, Futaba's desperate plan fell through, and then secretly rushed to Salamun to meet with Buffy Marshall. Since then, she has been lurking in the shadows, waiting for opportunities, ready to reverse the situation at any time.

Maybe it's a person, maybe it's a gang, but it shouldn't be the 'Viper' that Sark belongs to...

Assuming this is true, then I should have bumped into the other party once when he was acting.

He/she or they once tried to assassinate Futaba, but failed due to my interference...

There is indeed something wrong with that bucket-waisted aunt carrying the bread basket...

If it is an organization, what is their ultimate goal? How many people are there in total including the orc aunt who lives in the noble area?

If it is a person, is this guy a male or a female? Is it an NPC or a player? Why can I not only turn into an orc aunt, but also turn into an ordinary half-orc that is ordinary in all aspects? Well, I don’t rule out the possibility of hiring him. Maybe I’ve never shown up before... Also, is the reason for disrupting the situation due to some mission or interest? Or maybe he has something to do with the Marshall family?

[There are very few clues, but there are so many possibilities... Haha, it’s getting more and more fun. 】

Mo Tan subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth, and a curve of excitement and joy was drawn at the corner of his mouth, which shocked the Duke of Baroka. The Duke thought that this guy was confused by the backlash of [Gong Huolie]. It’s over.

Noticing the other party's gaze, Mo Tan immediately suppressed his flamboyant smile, and did not share with Grand Duke Baroka what he had just thought of in an instant. He just nodded and agreed: "It is indeed a bit abnormal, and Buffy Marshall was The same goes for being able to send someone to come find you after being placed under house arrest..."

"I'm a little confused too."

Grand Duke Baroka scratched the back of his neck and recalled: "But the man told me bluntly that he had a special channel to contact that beast Buffy, maybe through some special props or messenger?"

[I am more inclined to confuse the audio and visual, and confuse the audio and visual of the uncle who is coming to you...]

"You have a point."

Mo Tan nodded in agreement, and then continued to ask: "Do you know anything about Dantès, Fernand, and the Simon family? It's just a bit in-depth... Well, it's best not to go too in-depth. kind."

The kind that is more in-depth, but not too in-depth?

Grand Duke Baroka, who didn't realize how dirty the guy in front of him was, was stunned for a moment, then put green vegetables on the grill with a grimace and said in deep thought: "I can probably guess what you want to ask specifically, we Although these lords have a lot of interactions with each other, except for the little girl Emmeline, I really don’t know much about other people in this generation, well, relatively speaking..."

Then he gave Mo Tan as much detail as possible about the situation of the Dantes, Fernand, and Simon families. Although most of them overlapped with what Futaba had investigated, Mo Tan was still very satisfied. .

He learned that the current patriarch of the Dantès family was a contemporary of Emperor Klein, and that his biological sister was one of Clairvaux's three wives, the biological mother of the Violet Empire's crown prince Rebebresne, but the real queen He died in an unfortunate accident more than ten years ago. This incident made the Grand Duke Dantès heartbroken. His blond hair turned gray overnight, and then he fell seriously ill. Until a few years ago He was barely recovered, but his physical condition was not as good as before.

The Dantès family is a staunch royalist and has the best relationship with the Violet family, especially the generation of the Grand Duke Dantès and the Emperor Clerval. This can be seen from the unprecedented intermarriage between the two families.

Barroca's summary is that in view of the unspoken rule that the royal family has one vote each for 'sanction' and 'wait and see' in the trial, Dantès's choice can basically be equated to the will of the royal family, although the will of the royal family has great weight in this country. It's not that heavy.

Mo Tan also knew that although Archduke Simon looked to be at least four or five hundred years old, his real age was only in his early forties. Among the dark elves, he was almost a shot in the dark, but that man in all aspects The Archduke, who is almost serious and rigid, is surprisingly 'precocious'. He is calm, self-disciplined, meticulous, loyal to the empire, the code, and the family. In all aspects, he is a very good person, but...

Ximu Simon is also a classmate of Buffy Marshall. When they were young (mainly Marshall, strictly speaking, Grand Duke Simon has not passed his infancy), they studied at the same institution of higher learning in Salamoon because they have the same identity and status. , the two naturally became good friends, and they could be said to be inseparable in those years. Although their interactions gradually became less and less after leaving the academy, Archduke Baroka did not think that their friendship had disappeared like this, even if Archduke Simon had been there before. Zijiu Hall also said the word 'guilty'.

As for the mercury core Duke Fernand...

Grand Duke Baroka curled his lips in disdain and snorted contemptuously...

"Just a coward."
