Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Victoria's Trick

Mocha Ewing was sitting on a chair. The office was luxurious and spacious, but it was this spaciousness that made him feel unprecedentedly lonely now. He is just a young man in his twenties, so the life of sitting in an office is really not suitable for him, it is too dull for him, it is completely different from his vision when he is about to come to the imperial capital. But what can be done about it? In the last conflict with the city defense army, although the Proda family helped him settle it, and Maika seemed to have given in—at least he didn’t pursue it anymore, but not pursuing it doesn’t mean it’s covered up. In the past few days, he has been Ka emptied power, put it on hold completely, and became a decoration in the headquarters of the city defense army.

These encounters are actually nothing! Mocha is not a very tolerant person, but the reason why he chooses to tolerate now is because of the disappearance of the demigod ability. What kind of character is Phyllis?He is so terrible! When he was in Leicester City before, Felice had clearly accepted his overtures, but he didn't expect that he would fall into Felice's hands in the end, losing the ability he was proud of. At this time, Mocha even felt that it was good to endure this kind of loneliness. If he went out, if any trouble happened, he would probably reveal his secrets and let some caring people know that he had lost his demigod ability. They will all be killed.

At this moment, the biggest difficulty is how to cover up the fact that the demigod's ability has disappeared. But for a few days, Mocha seemed to be ten years older, his eyes were far from the radiance of the past, and from time to time all flashes of worry were heavy. Mocha understands very well that he is just a simple sixth-level warrior who has lost his demigod ability, and he is nothing at all! There was a sound of brisk footsteps, and Victoria walked in in a well-dressed manner. "Cousin Mocha, why don't you open the curtains? It's so dark, I thought you weren't there."

Victoria seemed to be in a good mood. She walked to the window and opened the curtains. The sunlight poured in, and the office became much brighter. Mocha frowned, obviously not liking the brightness. Victoria looked at Mocha's gloomy face and said, "Still worried about the fact that power is being emptied? My father has already said that this is only temporary. At that time, what happened to you will become evidence against the Iverson family. They suppressed officers and ruled out dissidents, such charges would easily be feared by His Majesty. So... you have to be patient, this is also a credit."

Victoria said with a smile. Mocha couldn't be happy no matter what, and nodded slightly. Victoria was a little annoyed immediately. Mocha's attitude has become more and more extreme recently, and she dared to show her face again and again. Victoria couldn't help feeling a bit of bitterness in her heart. Looking at Mocha, the remorse that had been suppressed in her heart burst out uncontrollably. What happened to her recently?I can't help but always compare Mocha with Phyllis, and the result of each comparison is that Mocha is always useless. If it weren't for Mocha's increasing status in the Ewing family because of Proda's care, Victoria would really not want to endure this situation any longer. This kind of lover character who has long since lost love, not even liking.

Ugh…… Victoria sighed secretly. When she came up with this plan, her grandpa didn't agree with it, but she insisted on going her own way, being coquettish and shameless, and even used it after she went on a hunger strike and ran away from home. Her loving grandpa had no choice but to accept it. Mocha, accepted Victoria's plan.In fact, the old patriarch of the Proda family didn't like Victoria's aggressive attitude, but it was a good thing for the future heir to show a sense of responsibility to the family. Most importantly, Mocha was really outstanding. When she came up with this plan, Victoria was still young. At that time, in her opinion, Mocha, who had just won the martial arts competition between the two countries, was so perfect. Satisfied Victoria.

But now it seems that the thoughts of youth are so ridiculous and too superficial... Unfortunately, it is too late. Victoria's initial promoter has become an involuntary follower. Mocha also saw the displeasure flashing in Victoria's eyes, and felt that his current attitude was indeed very bad. Victoria was the only strong backup he could rely on at the moment. This must rely on Victoria. Mocha squeezed out a smile, and said: "It's easy to say, but it's really bearable. No matter what, I can't feel better! This time I came to the emperor to try my best to perform well and make you proud of my excellence." Yes, alas..."

Hearing what he said, Victoria felt a little better, and said, "Be patient for a while longer, and treat it as it is for me, okay? You know, the devils from the Dark Earth continent are still eyeing the Milky Way continent. If they attack, then the war has already begun, and you don't have to endure it anymore. I didn't expect the demons to retreat... But I think this war is inevitable. How can those demons keep their peace? So, as long as the war Start, and your days of being suppressed will be over." Then, Victoria smiled and said: "Since the power is emptied, there is no need to sit here every day, cousin, why don't I take you out for a stroll, and experience the prosperity of the imperial capital? These free days should be regarded as vacations." You know, as long as our plan is successful, you will start to be busy, and there will be many important things that you need to deal with in the future."

Mocha hesitated for a moment, got up and straightened his uniform, bent down and made an invitation ceremony, and said, "Beautiful Miss Victoria, then I will obey you." Victoria giggled, and her mood improved a lot. If Mocha was only upset because of this incident, it would be understandable and forgivable. The prosperity of Qianji City has not been affected by the demons from the Dark Earth Continent. Although the Qianji Kingdom in the far inland caused a panic at the beginning, with the appeasement of the new god and the declaration of saving all living beings from the temple, those People with new beliefs have returned to a peaceful life.

In particular, the news of the retreat of the demons from the Dark Earth Continent caused even more joy throughout the country. Everyone attributed the credit to the New Gods. Legend has it that the existence of the New Gods frightened the heretics in the Dark Earth Continent, so they did not dare to invade. Mocha is wearing the uniform of the city defense army, which itself is not in line with the laws and regulations of the empire, but those regulations are just dogma, some people abide by them, and some people will not obey them. For example, Mocha is an officer of the city defense army, even if he is wearing a uniform, he will not Some people say that the duty of the city defense army is to guard the imperial capital and be responsible for the security of the imperial capital, and they can use official duties as an excuse at any time.

Victoria walked by Mocha's side, looking at the sideways crowd, her vanity was appeased a little bit. Although Mocha was not as good as Phyllis, she was considered top among men. If people learn to comfort themselves, they will have a lot of happiness, and the regret brought to Victoria by the maturity of mind makes her not only good at comforting herself, but also good at deceiving herself, convincing herself that only the Proda family is in her heart! If there is no Susan, no Felice...She and Mocha must be the most enviable couple in the whole thousand machines. A feeling of jealousy surged in Victoria's heart, and the sour feeling made her smile not bright enough. She hurriedly regained her senses, looking for comfort in the envious eyes of those passers-by. suddenly! There was a loud noise from the end of the street, and several black shadows descended from the sky. After the bang, there was a burst of howling, and immediately after that, pedestrians became chaotic. "The devil is coming!" "It's a devil..." "Run!" Shouts like this came from the mouths of every passerby. The people who had always thought that the demon had fled in fear were stunned by the demon who appeared for no reason, and crowded and fled like madmen. Many patrolling city defense troops heard the news and tried their best to push the crowd away and approach the demon. The devil was dressed in rags, with faint blood stains on his body, roaring loudly, chasing and killing the people. Seeing this scene, Mocha couldn't help being secretly surprised, why did the devil fall from the sky so strangely?It looked like it had been through a fierce battle. Victoria said in surprise: "Cousin Mocha, go and kill these demons!" "Cousin Victoria, don't you think the appearance of these demons is very strange?" Mocha said softly. "Whether he is weird or not, these demons will not be your opponent no matter what, kill them quickly, this is a good opportunity for you to establish your reputation in the imperial capital!" Victoria said eagerly. Mocha's heart skipped a beat, and he said in surprise, "You didn't arrange this, did you?" Victoria smiled slightly and said, "If it was arranged by me, don't you think this arrangement is very good? When the devil was lurking in the imperial capital and killing the residents madly, Mocha, the deputy chief of the city defense army, appeared in time to kill the devil and saved countless people. Do you think this kind of reputation is bad? At that time, when your reputation is in full swing, you will expose the Iverson family's suppression of you, and they will look good!" Mocha only felt his legs go weak for a while, and his throat was a little dry, and said, "Don't you think this... is strange? I'm afraid someone with a heart will notice..." Victoria said: "My cousin, public opinion is in our hands. Afterwards, there will only be people who praise you, and there will be absolutely no doubts. How can I allow that kind of voice to appear? I know, this matter is arranged It's very childish, but in many cases, such an arrangement is the most direct and effective... Cousin, do you want to wait for the masters from the imperial capital to arrive? Then you will miss the opportunity!" Victoria looked at Mocha full of doubts. In her eyes, Mocha should not be hesitating like this. According to her understanding of Mocha, Mocha would never let go of this opportunity to show off. But what happened today? How could Mocha fail to see Victoria's suspicion? After hesitating for a moment, he laughed and said, "Then thank you cousin for giving me this good opportunity!" Although a little guilty, Mocha thinks that these are ordinary demons. Anyway, he is a sixth-level warrior. He has no demigod ability, but he still has sixth-level weapon power. There shouldn't be any troubles. At that time, he can only use weapons to deal with these guys. , may add points to his performance. After Mocha weighed quickly, he jumped over the crowd like lightning and landed in front of those demons. He pulled out the stabbing sword at his waist in an instant, and rolled up several sword flowers. It looks fancy but still powerful. This is just the beginning of a plan. In fact, Victoria has placed many eyes and ears in the crowd to guide the direction of public opinion. "Ah! Great, Earl Mocha has arrived!" "Mocha?" This person is obviously a public in the imperial capital who does not know the truth. "Haven't you heard of Mocha? The demigod of Leicester City, in the last big contest between the two countries, it was the Earl of Mocha who won the key victory for us, and the title of Earl was conferred by His Majesty himself!" "He is Mocha? It is said that he is more powerful than Vice President Felice!" "How is it possible? Who is Vice President Felice? This Mocha is comparable to Vice President Felice?" The eyes and ears guiding public opinion met Phyllis' diehard admirers, and immediately suffered a lot of criticism. "Uh... In short, he is as outstanding a hero as Vice President Phyllis! If he comes, those demons will die!" "Yeah, don't run away, watch Earl Mocha kill those demons, vent your anger for us!" "..." Those eyes and ears not only spread such news, but also deliberately blocked the escape route of the people. Slowly, those people turned their heads to watch under the bewitching words. They thought it was not a big deal, they thought it was a large-scale attack by demons before, but now it seems that there are only a few demons, this is the imperial capital—the imperial capital of Qianji Kingdom, these demons are just asking for their own death. After relaxing their minds, many people were happy to watch the excitement of killing heretics. How exciting it is for those rumored vicious demons to be killed by the demigods of their own country! Victoria was crowded in the crowd, and next to her was an eye and eye that she installed, but that eye and eye did not know her, the high-ranking behind-the-scenes manipulator, and praised Mocha with embellishments, meeting everyone's expectations. Victoria listened to it and nodded secretly with satisfaction. Those demons were inexplicably captured and discarded on the streets full of humans in the Milky Way Continent. Frightened, they became very crazy. They roared loudly, and previously slaughtered all the people around them that they could touch, trying to kill a bloody path, and with the disposition of the demons of the Dark Earth Continent, they all belong to the desperate character of pulling a few enemies to the bottom even if they die. All rushed forward, creating the chaos just now. But then, a man with a rapier stood in front of them, with a murderous look in his eyes that they could understand. "Roar!" The demons waved their big fists and rushed towards Mocha with roars. Mocha flicked the stabbing sword in his hand, and the sword energy pierced through the air. The sword energy formed by the weapon seemed to tear through the space, and made a slight sound. The appearance was gorgeous and the momentum was amazing. Those residents who did not know about Mocha among the onlookers had watched from a distance with suspicion before, but now they suddenly gained confidence, and many patrol teams of the city defense army in the distance had arrived, among them were members of the special team with spar weapons , These residents are even more confident. They were shy before, but now they are pushing forward. Although the sword energy of the sixth-level weapon is nothing in the eyes of the hall-level powerhouse, it is enough to scare these ordinary people. When the demons stepped forward to besiege, Mocha's first move easily forced the demons back, and two deep wounds were drawn on two of the demons, blood splattered everywhere. "Kill these bastards!" The civilians applauded in unison. Mocha was even more confident, and found that these demons were just ordinary characters as he had guessed before. He could definitely kill them and become a foil for his supreme reputation. With confidence, Mocha's sword is even more gorgeous, like a cat playing with a mouse, letting those demons circle around in the shadow of the sword, leaving them with a few wounds from time to time, waiting for them to be exhausted, and when Mocha's performance reaches its peak , and took their lives. The demons were furious at Mocha's teasing, and the applause from the surrounding crowd made them look like terrified beasts. Several demons stepped forward to attack bravely, but unfortunately, they were unable to break through Mocha's sword, and could only become targets for Mocha's performance. at the same time. A carriage drove up from the street far away. The carriage was blocked by the crowd and could not pass through. The door opened, and Karaman stepped out of the carriage and stood on the shaft to look at the situation here. "what happened?" Susan opened the curtains and asked curiously. In the carriage, Susan and Sophia sat side by side, because Susan was very worried that the stubborn and loyal Cadman would really send Sophia to the palace, so after discussing with Faraman, she always felt that the Iverson mansion was not very safe. However, it would be better for Sophia to hide in the Dali family for a period of time, after all, the Dali family is currently in power at Faraman. "It's Mocha doing the show." Faraman looked at it, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said back. "Performance? Mocha? Is it the Mocha from Leicester City? It's with Victoria..." Susan said in surprise, not understanding Faraman's words. "That's Mocha, he's using a few demons for a show, hey..." Faraman smiled and said. "How did the devil appear in Thousand Machines City?" Susan was very surprised. Faraman turned around and smiled, and said, "Yeah, why did they appear in Thousand Machines City? Isn't that strange? If no one brought them in, how could they appear in Thousand Machines City?" "Falaman, can you not beat around the bush when you speak like a dead ladyboy? I don't quite understand it, so just say no!" Susan said angrily. Faraman jumped off the shaft helplessly, and said: "It seems that the Proda family is a little anxious, tsk tsk... I don't know where they got the devil, and they threw it here to practice swords for Mocha. When the time comes, the devil will enter the thousand The news of Machine City spread that your second uncle, who is the chief of the city defense army, is probably to blame, and Mocha's reputation for beheading demons in public will definitely become a new star in the imperial capital." "You mean it's all a conspiracy of the Proda family?" Susan is not good at conspiracy, so she is not interested in these intrigues, and her straightforward character is obviously unlikely to detect such a conspiracy. "Because I saw Victoria just now, hey... If you see Victoria's eyes, you will also notice that it is weird. That woman has always liked to play this kind of trick." Faraman said. Then, Faraman asked viciously: "Susan, do you hate Mocha?" "Of course I hate it. Back in Leicester City, he was the one who wanted to kill Felice!" Susan blurted out. "I hate him too, a guy who only relies on women, and I also hate Victoria, tsk tsk... How good is it for a woman to lie in a man's arms and be cared for? A woman who likes to play tricks and schemes is not only unlovable, but also Disgusting...” Faraman muttered. Susan's eyes lit up and she said, "Falaman, are you going to make trouble?" Sophia in the carriage exclaimed in surprise: "Are you going to help the devil? Although that would destroy Mocha's purpose, helping the devil is a felony. Not to mention the empire, even civilians will be hostile to us!" Faraman shook his fingers and said, "Sophia, have you forgotten what kind of existence we are? It is the real new god that Felice said..." "Dead ladyboy, what are you going to do?" Susan was clearly interested. Faraman was stunned, and said, "I've already done it..." "what?" Susan said in disbelief. Faraman smiled and said: "This is the difference between a god who is good at magic and a god like you who is good at martial arts, hehe..." "What have you done?" Susan asked hastily. "I didn't do anything, I just added advanced acceleration, recovery, and berserk to those demons..." Faraman shrugged and said. Compared with Susan, Sophia has a deep understanding of magic, because she herself is a magician, so when she heard Faraman's words, her eyes widened immediately, and she didn't see what Faraman was doing. Action, I didn't expect him to bless so much magic in an instant. The acceleration technique can double the speed of a person; the recovery technique can easily restore an exhausted person to the peak physical strength; the berserk technique is even more amazing, it can almost negligibly eliminate the pain, and double the strength! These magics... were actually cast by the new god Faraman in an instant, my God!What kind of power should it have? If it weren't for too many scruples, Sophia would definitely rush out of the carriage, climb onto the roof of the carriage and take a good look...
