Chapter 27 The most troublesome existence

Things produced by the system also have their own unique benefits and can be moved with the system.

It doesn't have to be entered through a fixed location like a family treasure room.

This is the portable storage space. The system does not provide storage space. It turns out that it is waiting here.

Brian felt it was quite practical, so he spent 200 achievement points to exchange it for two cubic meters, which was just enough space for one person.

Ordinary magic storage equipment can only hold dead objects, not living creatures, but the ones exchanged by the system do not have this problem. Comprehensive comparison, it is quite cost-effective.

It is completely safe to put the seeds hanging on the chest directly into the space.

With 20 achievement points left, Brian directly chose two low-end draws. He got a bottle of knight's sword that could be coated, and a bottle of magic enhancement potion.

They are all worth about 1,000 gold coins on the market, not particularly good, but not bad either.

Putting the knight's sword into the storage space and drinking the magic-enhancing potion in one gulp, Brian could clearly feel that his magical strength had improved.

Although there is still a certain distance before becoming an intermediate magician, it still requires several years of hard work.

But with the increased magic power, there should be no problem in casting the inherited magic.

At this time, the door opened and a large group of maids rushed in to help Brian change into the dress he would wear for the evening banquet.

When Brian changed his clothes, a person Brian didn't expect appeared in front of him, it was his stepmother, Duchess Serena.

It turned out that after all the trouble in the magic space, Brian and Duke Horsman had already missed their lunch time.

The duchess, who had originally arranged to have dinner together, noticed something was wrong and wanted to test her, but was directly pushed back by the duke.

This made the Duchess even more curious, what was Duke Horsman hiding?

So the Duchess came directly to Brian. In the Duchess's impression, Brian was an aristocratic young man who had never experienced hardships. Even as an adult, his ideas were very simple.

Even though he did so many things in Lanesburg, many of them were the plans of the previous Viscount, and he just did things as they were.

With just a few random words, he could get the Duke's secret out of his mouth.

As for her assassination of Brian, aren't those dozen lives an explanation?

Brian would also like to thank her for sponsoring 5,000 gold coins and two small caravans.

This may be standard aristocratic thinking.

Everything is based on profit first and personal feelings are abandoned.

But when the Duchess saw Brian again, except that his face was still handsome, her whole feeling had changed, as if he was a different person.

So the Duchess did not speak rashly, but just looked at Brian at the door.

Looking at the charming Duchess, Brian had a sunny smile on his face and said in a gentle tone.

"Ma'am, what's the matter with you here?"

The Duchess also adjusted her mood and asked with a concerned look on her face.

"I heard that you have returned to the castle, so I came to see you. Didn't we make an appointment to have lunch together at noon? Neither you nor the Duke went. Were you delayed by something?"

"My father and I were just chatting happily and forgot about the time. I'm really sorry."

"There's no need to apologize Brian, let's have something to eat before the dinner starts."

With a wave of his hand, several maids came in with trays. They were far apart, otherwise they would have smelled the aroma of the food.

Brian, who had not eaten lunch, was indeed a little hungry now. He didn't care about the red tape of the nobles and started to eat.

The Duchess still wanted to use various tricks to get information, but Brian felt that his behavior was a bit childish.

Originally, when he first came to this world, he was almost poisoned by this woman, which made Brian still wary of him, but now they met and found that she was nothing more than that.

But the more enemies like this, the more troublesome they are. They are not afraid of smart people or stupid people, but they are afraid of people who are neither smart nor stupid.

Because no matter whether he is a smart person or a stupid person, you can predict what he may do.

But for such a being whose IQ fluctuates, it is difficult for you to predict what he is going to do. Whether as a friend or an enemy, it is easy to be accidentally injured.

When you reason with him, he talks about feelings to you. When you talk about feelings with him, he talks about benefits to you. But when you talk about benefits to him, he talks about reasons to you.

It is completely impossible to communicate with normal people on the same channel.

The most frightening thing is that this kind of person is blindly confident, always thinking that he is the smartest and wisest, and everyone else is a fool.

For example, in "Game of Thrones", Queen Cersei is the best proof that her son, Emperor Joe, is just plain stupid.

Cersei, on the other hand, is shrewd with a hint of stupidity, and stupidity with a bit of cunning.

She cheated her husband to death, cheated her son to death, cheated her daughter to death, cheated her father to death, and finally let hundreds of thousands of people in King's Landing die with her.

Looking at the equally beautiful woman in front of me, she was born in a noble family and exuded confidence.

Isn't this the proper Cersei? And such a scourge is actually her stepmother, a proper pig teammate.

Not to mention how stupid the plan to poison Brian was, even if Brian died, no one would doubt her.

Serena's three children are all under ten years old, how can they be the heirs to lead a party?

Is it true that being a lord is just a rubber stamp, just standing there and doing nothing?

In the end, the only option was to take advantage of a distant relative of the Horton family, probably the Horton knight, the knight who trusted his wife with his son.

Of course, this is nothing. Brian, who traveled through time, came back from the dead and solved all the problems.

What really made Brian feel bored and wanted this woman to disappear from his eyes was the Duchess's hiding attitude.

Stupidity and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

Even though the Duchess concealed her arrogance deeply due to her aristocratic upbringing, she still couldn't hide the contempt in her eyes when she looked at Brian.

Especially when her speaking skills hit a wall at every turn, and in the end she gained nothing and planned to leave in frustration.

Brian couldn't help but complained in his heart.

"Fortunately this woman's surname is Bourbon, otherwise she would have been killed long ago."

Duke Horsman must have regretted marrying Serena Bourbon. In addition to her good looks, her last name also has value.

That was a duke, and the families of the three earls were three points better than the Horsman family.

Although Serena Bourbon's father was only one of the three Bourbon counts, he was just the right successor to the duke.

Forget it, let's just tolerate this woman for a while. If you don't tolerate it, you will mess up your plans. The Orl Chamber of Commerce, Count Merovingian's biggest creditor, is the property of the Duke of Bourbon.
