The road leading to the interior of the manor was quite long. After going around in circles for a long time, Bai Xiaozhen finally met the foreign nobleman from the deep sea under the guidance of the butler and the maid.
She did her work on weekdays, and although she occasionally dealt with foreigners, with Bai Xiaozhen's rank, she could only meet some foreign lords at most, and most of her interactions were with foreign civilians.
This is the first time I have seen someone at this level of an earl.
Contrary to what Bai Xiaozhen had initially thought, this foreign earl was not the elegant middle-aged blond man with an extraordinary demeanor and a small mustache, but a young girl who looked gentle and weak.
The girl was sitting behind the desk, reading quietly.
She had waist-length hair that was as blue and transparent as the sea, and her bright golden eyes, reflected by the light, showed some amazing colors spreading all over them.
Her skin was very white, even a little sickly.
The butler stopped at the door of the study, too respectful to dare enter. The maid brought Bai Xiaozhen in, reported softly, and then quickly retreated.
After the Countess nodded, she did not look up immediately, but continued to flip through the book in her hand, leaving Bai Xiaozhen there for a while.
After a while, Bai Xiaozhen stood there, feeling a little embarrassed, but still watched the other person turning the pages silently.
Just as the atmosphere in the air became increasingly oppressive, the Countess finally closed the book and slowly raised her head. She stood up and walked from behind the desk to a place not far from Bai Xiaozhen.
Bai Xiaozhen is tall and sturdy, and compared to the petite and gentle girl, he is like the difference between a little white rabbit and a gorilla. However, it is clearly the Countess who is looking up at Bai Xiaozhen, but the huge difference in temperament makes people feel that it is the Count who is looking down on her from a high position.
The girl looked Bai Xiaozhen up and down for a few times, her eyes revealing a complex mix of curiosity and confusion. Finally, she slowly calmed down and revealed a faint smile: "Hello, I heard you were looking for me?"
The Countess spoke the local language with remarkable purity, which surprised Bai Xiaozhen, yet also brought her some relief. After all, those who were high up in society were expected to possess abilities far beyond the average person, so knowing other languages wasn't unusual.
"Yes, Lord Earl." After all, the other party was of noble status and needed help, so Bai Xiaozhen was very humble and stated his intention directly. "I need the assistance of the Xuanlu Flower to advance my realm, and I can pay a corresponding price for it."
The Countess responded with that amusing smile. "I am a noble, and I enjoy the same treatment in your country, with no shortage of fame and fortune. You are just an ordinary patrolman. What price you have to pay is nothing to me."
"The Xuanli flower is precious to someone like me, but for a noble like you, it's probably just an ornamental plant, and equally useless." Bai Xiaozhen organized his words and added, "And the fact that the Earl is willing to see me means I have something I can use for you."
"How about I let you hide in the Shuijiang City government, support you in your rise to power, and let you be my insider?" The Countess nodded, then said, "Our people really hope to turn Shuijiang City into a concession as well."
"Forehead......"
Bai Xiaozhen is a bit unsure about this.
She might be doing okay for an ordinary constable, but in the entire Shuijiang City government, she is at the bottom.
Supporting her to take the position as a spy for the foreigners is about the same difficulty as finding a random passerby to support her to take the position. Why does she need to do this?
The Countess's remarks were beyond her initial expectations.
Moreover, with Bai Xiaozhen's upright character, how could he possibly serve as a guide for foreigners?
If she goes against her true nature like this, it is only a matter of time before she transforms into a demon.
Seeing Bai Xiaozhen hesitating for a long time, the Countess just giggled. This smile no longer had that formulaic flavor, but seemed like she had encountered something happy.
There was an inexplicable hint of sarcasm in it.
The entire study was filled with the Countess's bell-like laughter, and Bai Xiaozhen, who was somewhat confused, was standing there as punishment.
"Even for such a small thing, you're still hesitant. You're such a coward!" The laughter gradually died down, and the young countenance put away her innocent expression, turning gloomy. "I don't know why that person took a fancy to you."
That one?
Who is that?
Bai Xiaozhen's expression was a little surprised and doubtful, but then he seemed to remember something and glanced at the scantily clad Medicine Fairy next to him.
oh......
The Medicine Fairy, who was originally scantily clad in a translucent red gauze dress, had at some point changed into a plain white long dress, wrapping herself tightly from head to toe. She no longer had her usual charm and allure. She just stood aside with an expressionless face, quietly watching her conversation with the Countess.
'When did you change clothes?'
Bai Xiaozhen glanced at the Medicine Fairy, whose clothes were not so revealing, with a puzzled look.
But what made her even more confused was that the Countess turned her head slightly and looked in the direction of the Medicine Fairy.
Forehead......
Could this foreign nobleman see the regret of this Medicine Immortal?
Isn't it said that only she can see it?
It turns out that I am not unique or special.
Xu Xianxian's expression was very cold at the moment, and there was no emotion in her dark eyes. "Teresa, you've crossed the line."
Just as the Creator promised many years ago, when many gods rise up in Theresa's world, the throne is raised, and the world is promoted to a higher dimension, Theresa, the ancestor of those with the same name as the world, will also be subject to the rules of the world's promotion.
