People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 301 Testing

Gertrude followed a warlock in gorgeous robes and walked obediently in the corridor of the solemnly decorated manor.

Even though the warlock leading the way didn't say anything, Gertrude tried her best to act humble.

Because she knew very well the background of the warlock before her, and she knew even better the environment she was in now.

The Tower Warlock, one of the backbones of the Leithanian army.

Of course, if he was just an ordinary tower warlock, he would be nothing in front of Gertrude, but the tower warlock in front of her was the one who came down with some big shot.

Gertrude is currently at the Leithania Tower, a landmark building in Visheim.

In every mobile city-state within Leithania, there stands a tall tower, representing the royal power of Leithania.

Even though Gertrude was the lord of Visheim, she had no authority over the tower.

Not to mention, at this moment, a big shot that Gertrude could not even imagine came to the tower.

Led by the tower warlock, Gertrude came to the hall at the top of the tower.

"Sir, people have brought it."

The tower warlock walking in front of Gertrude stopped, saluted towards the depths of the hall, and slowly retreated.

Gertrude also bowed hastily to salute.

But before she could bend her waist, a wave of magic locked her firmly.

"Stand up." The tower warlock who was about to retreat gathered spell light on his fingertips, "You are not worthy to salute the Lord."

Cold sweat broke out on Gertrude's back. She straightened up carefully, lowered her head and waited obediently.

After a while, Gertrude heard a dull voice:

"You have any cooperation with Qi Yan?"

The voice seemed to be muffled by something, and it was unclear. Gertrude could only barely make out the content, but she couldn't even tell whether the other party was a man or a woman.

"...Yes." Gertrude hesitated for a moment and did not choose to hide it.

After she finished speaking, she tensed her muscles, ready for the attack that could come at any time.

But the expected anger did not appear.

The voice asked again:

“What is the content of the cooperation?”

Gertrude answered honestly, "He got the earthly voice."

"And what about your reward?"

"I don't dare ask for compensation for cooperating with such a powerful person."

The hall fell into silence again.

After a moment, the voice sounded:

“You are smart and you are stupid.

The Voice of the World belongs to Leitania, and you are qualified to decide it?"

Gertrude bowed her head and replied, "I have no choice."

"But now you have another chance to choose. Go find Qi Yan and tell him that if you give up the Voice of the World, I won't care about him killing my people."

The dull voice was devoid of any emotion: "You have to make him understand that this is my final ultimatum. If he doesn't agree, then you don't have to come back."

"……Yes."

Gertrude complied and slowly backed out of the hall.

Back in the corridor, the tower warlock said nothing, turned around and led the way.

She followed the tower warlock out of the tower, and the warlock turned around and went back, leaving Gertrude alone standing under the towering tower.

Gertrude turned her head and looked at the top of the tower, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

……

……

Bai Ke walked in the corridor of the hotel and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

He felt cheated.

He stayed at Czerny's house last night and played excerpts from Earthly Sounds as planned.

As a result, Czerny was obviously fooled and became depressed.

Even after Crete stopped playing, Czerny quickly fell into an excited state and began to compose music, but every time his inspiration was interrupted, he had to repeat the process of depression.

Bai Ke felt heartbroken just watching from the side.

The two of them worked like this all night long, and not only was the progress worrying, but Úrsula at home also didn't get a good night's sleep.

Early in the morning, in order to let Czerny and Ursula have a good rest, Bai Ke took the initiative to say goodbye to them and went to the hotel arranged by Murphy to find his grandfather.

Shaking his dizzy head, Bai Ke put aside his worries for the time being, found his grandfather's room and knocked on the door.

But after knocking for a while, no one in the room responded.

Bai Ke's heart suddenly tightened, and thoughts of his grandfather falling down, suffering from a sudden attack of oripathy, or slipping into the bathtub while taking a bath emerged uncontrollably in his mind.

Just as he pulled away and quickly ran downstairs to the front desk, a figure in maid outfit appeared in the corridor.

"teacher!"

When Bai Ke saw the other party, he quickly stopped and saluted, and then prepared to continue running downstairs.

Seeing that Baike looked nervous, Arturo glanced at the direction where Baike was running and immediately guessed what had happened.

"Don't be nervous, your grandfather is fine. He went out by himself this morning," Arturo reminded.

Hearing this, Bai Ke felt relieved, but still not completely reassured:

"My grandfather's health is getting worse and worse. I'm still worried about him going out alone. Teacher, do you know where he went?"

"do not know."

Arturo shook his head and then prepared to turn and leave.

Bai Ke had already gotten used to his teacher's somewhat indifferent attitude. He was thinking about his grandfather in his heart, so he said goodbye and ran out of the hotel quickly.

Arturo stood silently in the corridor for a moment, then turned back to the door of his room, pushed it open and walked in.

Inside the room, a man had been waiting there for an unknown period of time.

Arturo glanced at the bed sheet under which the man was sitting, and a barely perceptible trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

The man looked Arturo up and down, whistled frivolously, and said teasingly:

"Beautiful lady, it seems that you haven't been living a good life recently, and you have even fallen to the point of having to wear a maid outfit to get by.

Are you interested in going with me to the streets? I am willing to spend all my wealth to buy you the best dress for Leitania."

"This is not within the scope of our cooperation." Arturo looked at the man indifferently, and was obviously in a bad mood. "The agreement between your master and I includes the protection of my personal freedom, but now I have been sent to Qi Yan by the Queen's Voice, why are you not making any move?"

The man laughed and placed his hands on the bed sheet, causing the originally neat sheet to become wrinkled.

He didn't notice at all that his actions were pushing Arturo's limit of patience, and he kept talking to himself:

“That was Qi Yan after all. With the strength he showed, he is definitely a strong man at the same level as the Witch King. Without the personal promise of the adults, how dare we offend him casually.

But now it's different. Qi Yan is used to being arrogant and actually reached out to something he shouldn't touch. If he can wake up in time, he can leave Leitania. If not, we don't mind keeping him here."

Arturo looked at the man deeply and suddenly felt like laughing.

She somewhat admired the Elector's superb brainwashing skills.

If the Elector was really sure that he could subdue Qi Yan, how could he have tried to test him again and again? He would have already surrounded Murphy's manor with his men and started plowing the land using the Originium technique.

"So, I can be free now?"

Arturo had no intention of waking the other person up, he was only concerned about whether he could get away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.

"Not yet, beautiful lady." The man raised his index finger and shook it gently, "We need your cooperation now. You are such a perfect nail lurking beside Qi Yan, how can we be willing to pull you out on our own initiative."

This time, Arturo couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Lurking beside Qi Yan, waiting for an opportunity to attack Qi Yan?

Arturo has not forgotten the shock Qi Yan gave her when he met her.

She even doubted that if Qi Yan wanted to know the style of her underwear, he would have a way to find out, let alone something like which camp she belonged to.

Qi Yan kept her by his side not because he didn't notice her problem, but because he kept her by his side on purpose to entertain her.

"If this is your only purpose, you can leave now."

Arturo stepped aside and made way for the room, unceremoniously ordering them to leave.

"Are you sure you want to reject me?"

The man's tone was slightly solemn.

Looking at the man's condescending attitude, Arturo suddenly remembered the words he had learned from Qi Yan a few days ago.

"Pu Xinnan, you are such a loser." Arturo showed a hint of ridicule, "It is not your turn to interfere with my decision. When the time is right, I will take action myself."
