"Agree? Agree to what? "Han Shuo stared blankly and asked in confusion.
"Of course I agree to the matter between you and me!" Emily exclaimed happily and explained, "I told Phoebe everything about the two of us. I especially emphasized the fact that I couldn't show my face due to my identity. Also, I told her about how my husband suddenly died on the battlefield when I had just joined the Betteridge Family. Phoebe even tried to persuade me for quite a while after listening to me!"
Han Shuo was stunned. He suddenly felt that Phoebe was indeed reasonable. However, Emily had stayed in the Dark Mantle for so long and was indeed very intelligent. To be able to make Phoebe acknowledge her identity with just a few words was enough to prove Emily's ability.
Han Shuo finally relaxed after hearing Emily's words. He lightly kissed Emily with a smile and said, "Emily, you're really capable."
"Alright, alright. Don't try to bewitch me anymore." Emily joyfully pushed Han Shuo and said, "It's getting late, you shouldn't stay here anymore. I still have to go greet father."
Hearing Emily mention the Betteridge Family's patriarch, Hahn, Han Shuo thought for a moment and asked Emily, "Oh right, which prince does Hahn favor?"
"I don't know. Perhaps it's because father has retired from the military for too long. When the Empire was in turmoil, father didn't appear in the eyes of the Empire's military and government. He also didn't talk to me about the matters between the princes." Emily replied with a frown when she saw that Han Shuo was talking about serious matters.
After a moment of silence, Han Shuo said to Emily, "If Old Hahn talks about these matters or has plans to lean towards one side, it's best if you advise him not to act rashly in the next few days, lest he leads the Betteridge Family down a wrong path."
Emily was startled and asked in surprise, "Why would you say that?"
"No one is optimistic about Lawrence. However, if nothing unexpected happens, the throne should be Lawrence's. For the next few days, just wait and see. I think it won't be long before His Majesty makes a big move. " Han Shuo discussed with His Majesty Uhtred and understood that Lawrence's situation would change greatly. That was why he reminded Emily.
"Are you sure this news is true?" Emily clearly knew how important this news was. She asked Han Shuo with a solemn expression.
Nodding his head affirmatively, Han Shuo said, "I went to the palace today and heard it from His Majesty's own mouth. There's no way this is wrong."
"In that case, I have to go out immediately. Not only my father, but my brother as well. I have to tell them immediately. In addition, there are some friends who are watching and I must warn them as soon as possible." After Han Shuo finished speaking, Emily had already started to put on her clothes, her expression somewhat anxious.
This matter concerned every noble in the Lancelot Empire. Every noble with status could forget about staying out of this matter. If they made a wrong choice, they could lose the prosperity and decline of a family for a hundred years. They had no choice but to treat this matter with caution.
Seeing Emily so anxious, Han Shuo could understand. Standing up, Han Shuo gently helped Emily put on her silk robes. He also helped Emily tidy up her messy long hair, which was a rare occurrence. He even helped her put on some rouge amidst Emily's blissful sweet smile. Finally, he opened his mouth and said, "Alright, be careful on the road."
Emily obediently waited for Han Shuo to finish helping her with everything. Only then did she move her fragrant lips closer to Han Shuo and gave him a light kiss. She smiled coquettishly and said, "I know. Don't stay here for too long. This is the Betteridge family."
"I'll be leaving now." Han Shuo replied with a smile and tidied up his clothes. When Emily walked over to old Hahn's side, Han Shuo silently left the area.
As soon as Han Shuo returned to the mansion, he immediately sensed the dense killing intent on Bollands's body. With just a glance, Han Shuo had already spotted Bollands who was hibernating in the remote shadows.
"Lord Marquis!" Before Han Shuo had even entered the room, Bollands suddenly called out softly and walked out from the shadows.
Within Han Shuo's mansion, there weren't any powerful guards. Apart from Han Shuo who was an important character, there wasn't anyone else worthy of Han Shuo's worry. Therefore, he didn't arrange any defensive formations. An expert like Bollands naturally wouldn't be able to be seen by ordinary people.
Wearing a gray robe, Bollands walked out from the shadows. He had a sinister and terrifying face and a dense killing intent. An ordinary person would definitely feel fear upon seeing him.
"Let's talk inside!" Han Shuo shot a glance at Bollands and replied with a smile before walking straight into the room. Bollands similarly followed him in.
After entering the room, Han Shuo used the mystical demons to survey the surroundings and didn't find any suspicious characters in the surroundings. Phoebe had also left Han Shuo's mansion without waiting for Han Shuo and had already returned to the Boozt Merchant Guild.
After sitting down in the room, Han Shuo smiled at Bollands and asked, "How is it? Have you thought it through? "
Nodding his head, Bollands had an excited expression as he replied, "Yes, I want to learn that martial technique from you. Lord Karel has already agreed. It's just that Lord wants to meet you."
Han Shuo wasn't surprised at all. In this world, only Han Shuo could bring what Bollands needed. With Bollands's obsession with this martial technique, he would definitely agree to Han Shuo's suggestion. However, what Han Shuo didn't expect was Karel's invitation. He didn't understand why Karel wanted to meet him.
After staring blankly for a moment, Han Shuo frowned as he looked at Bollands and asked in astonishment, "What does Mister Karel want to meet me for?"
Shaking his head, Bollands replied, "I'm not too sure either."
"Is that so!" Han Shuo muttered to himself, "When will it be? Where do I meet him? "
"If you're free, Lord wants me to bring you to meet him." Bollands replied respectfully.
"In that case, there's no time like the present. Let's do it now. Oh, it's getting late. Could it be that Lord Karel is already resting? "Han Shuo intended to go now, but changed his mind after thinking about it.
"It's fine. Lord will only rest very late at night. If you're free, we can leave now." Bollands replied.
"Alright, let's go then." Han Shuo said straightforwardly before heading towards the Northern Rose Garden with Bollands.
Under the dim moonlight, Han Shuo, who had just returned to the mansion, went to the Northern Rose Garden with Bollands. Bollands's many years of experience as an assassin had caused his speed to be as fast as lightning. In addition, he was used to walking in areas where light couldn't reach. Basically, most people wouldn't be able to discover his presence.
Han Shuo, whose demonic arts had entered the separate demon realm, had a few mystical demons spying on his surroundings. With a few mystical demons keeping a panoramic view of the surroundings, Han Shuo was like a drifting spirit, openly roaming the streets without fear of being discovered. As his speed was similarly fast, Han Shuo's shadow was like a light wisp of smoke brushing past.
Compared to Bollands's cautiousness, Han Shuo appeared calm and unruffled. With the mystical demons, Han Shuo could easily avoid areas where people roamed. Moreover, he wasn't far from Bollands and wasn't left behind by Bollands in the slightest.
Only when they entered the Northern Rose Garden did the two simultaneously slow down. In the dead of night, it was the most suitable time to carry out some debauchery. On the streets leading to the Northern Rose Garden, gorgeous carriages were stealthily approaching, with a few stewards and servants gracefully leading the way. Their destination was the Rose Garden.
As a famous brothel in the Lancelot Empire, the Northern Rose Garden's business was extremely good. With sacred swordmaster Karel overseeing this place, the safety of this place was second to none in the Empire. Lawrence was also extremely adept at management, forcefully turning the Northern Rose Garden into a nest of ecstasy.
It was precisely because of the sudden increase in the flow of people around the Northern Rose Garden that Han Shuo and Bollands had no choice but to slow down. Bollands was incomparably familiar with this place. He brought Han Shuo directly towards the back door.
The back door of the Rose Garden was relatively remote. Generally, only internal personnel would come here, or they would receive some sensitive figures. Those nobles seeking pleasure wouldn't pass through here. Han Shuo and Bollands, on the other hand, were happy and relaxed.
"Bollands, since you've decided to join my faction, there are some things I need to explain to you first." As Han Shuo and Bollands walked towards the back door, Han Shuo smiled at Bollands and said.
"Please speak!" Bollands' tone towards Han Shuo was very respectful.
"Bollands, don't be too courteous. In the future, you don't need to call me Marquis. You can just call me senior. Our sect is called the Heavenly Demon Sect. There aren't many people in the entire Profound Continent who know of us. Our master was once an expert from another plane, and only came to the Profound Continent by chance. After teaching me this martial technique, he turned into a demon and left … "Han Shuo lowered his voice and made up a series of lies.
Bollands listened attentively. After waiting for Han Shuo to finish his series of narration, Bollands said with astonishment and excitement, "I didn't expect master to actually be so amazing. He's actually an expert from another plane. No wonder he has such a miraculous martial technique that has never been heard of in the entire Profound Continent. It's such a pity that I don't have the chance to meet master!"
"Hehe, master's strength is unimaginable to the average person. I will teach you the martial technique of the Heavenly Demon Sect on master's behalf. With your aptitude, you will definitely achieve great things. Don't worry, the application and concealment of the killing intent will be the most basic Heavenly Demon Secret Art. Not only will you be able to quickly grasp it, you will also possess even more powerful killing moves, "Han Shuo solemnly vowed to bewitch Bollands.
The demonic art that Han Shuo imparted to Bollands was called the God Slaying Demonic Way. It wasn't considered an orthodox cultivation method for demonic cultivators. Even if Bollands cultivated it to the extreme, he wouldn't be able to reach Han Shuo's achievements. However, for Bollands, if he could familiarize himself with and master this demonic art, his strength would indeed improve substantially.
However, this kind of improvement was a little like pulling a seedling to help it grow. It was purely using the dense killing intent surrounding Bollands to greatly improve his strength. However, it couldn't be like the demonic art that Han Shuo cultivated step by step, which had unlimited possibilities for improvement. What Han Shuo needed was a junior who could help him eradicate dissidents, and not someone who could contend with him in demonic arts. Therefore, no matter how much Bollands grew, he wouldn't be a threat to Han Shuo's position.
"Senior, thank you." When Bollands was about to enter the Rose Garden, he respectfully bowed to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo wasn't in a hurry to enter the Rose Garden. After receiving Bollands' bow, he smiled and said, "You haven't officially entered the sect yet, so I can't immediately teach you the Heavenly Demon Divine Art. After I meet Mister Karel, I will help you handle the initiation ceremony. After you officially join our Heavenly Demon Sect, I will help you be reborn and then teach you the martial techniques of our sect."
"I will listen to senior," Bollands was already quite old, but he was still respectful to Han Shuo and didn't dare to slight him in the slightest.
Smiling and nodding, Han Shuo said, "Alright, bring me into the Rose Garden."
Bollands brought Han Shuo all the way to the secret room that Lawrence had entered previously. After opening the passage, Bollands brought Han Shuo all the way down. After passing through some complicated paths, Bollands finally brought Han Shuo to the spacious space where he met sacred swordmaster Karel last time.
In a spacious white space, sacred swordmaster Karel was sitting on a boulder. Although the tall and big Karel's hair was white, he was full of vigor. His kind gaze was leisurely looking forward. After seeing Han Shuo enter, Karel smiled and said, "Little fellow, you really aren't simple!"
After Bollands brought Han Shuo over, he himself withdrew. Currently, only Han Shuo and Karel were left in the entire space. When Han Shuo saw Karel praising him so much, he couldn't help but smile and say, "You're overpraising me."
"You gave that divine weapon 'Starry Sky' to Phoebe. Hehe, it's good that you have this intention, very good." Karel smiled and said, "As for the matter of you teaching Bollands, I won't ask. You don't have to worry. I have never treated Bollands as a servant. He has always had his own freedom. This time, he was so excited to learn martial arts from you. You must have something that attracted him. I will respect his decision."
"Then, why did you summon me here?" Han Shuo's expression relaxed as he asked with a smile.
"I only wanted to see how the old astrologer Madam Grace predicted that you would bring prosperity to the Lancelot Empire. What exactly do you intend to do for the Lancelot Empire?" Karel's eyes brightened as he stared at Han Shuo and said with a smile.
Han Shuo was suddenly enlightened. He finally understood why Uhtred would speak and behave in such an odd manner!
