What should I do if I meet the male protagonist?
Go ahead!
Lin Xiaoman considers herself to be a person with acting talent, and in her previous life, as the boss of an entertainment company, she spent time systematically learning acting skills.
So, relying on his superb acting skills, Lin Xiaoman, as the host, politely exchanged a few words with Rex, the male guest, and then left.
As soon as he left the banquet, Lin Xiaoman hurried to the Duke's study to look for someone.
According to the plan, Joan had to pretend to be seriously ill, so she stayed in her room all day. Occasionally, when she attended a tea party with young ladies, she would act very frail, just go through the motions, and then immediately go back as if she was about to be blown down by the wind.
So Lin Xiaoman was sure that Rex had not yet been able to contact Joan. But since he was able to appear at the banquet, it was obvious that he had passed the Duke's way.
The Duke was in the study, discussing wedding matters with Ange and several Laurent elders.
After the discussion, the Duke waved his hand, signaling the others to leave. After the other Laurents said their goodbyes and left, only the three of them were left in the study. Perhaps because they were getting married, Angel smiled brightly, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood. He casually asked, "Amy, shouldn't you be with your mother entertaining those nobles at the banquet?"
"I just came out of the banquet." After explaining, Lin Xiaoman looked at the Duke, "Dad, I met a man at the banquet, a young man from the Said Saphiri family. He said he was a magician. Dad, do you know him?"
"Oh, I know, that's Rex."
Sure enough, as Lin Xiaoman expected, the Duke had already met someone.
"A magician from Sedsa?" Ange showed a surprised expression and asked doubtfully, "Does the Fili family in Sedsa have a magician? And what are they doing in our Adri?"
"That's right. He's Rex Fili, the eldest son and heir to the Earldom. He thinks that Tari is cruel, terrible, incompetent, and stupid. He thinks it's unfortunate for Sedsa to have such a ruler. His family hasn't sworn allegiance to Tari, so he doesn't want to continue serving Duke Tari. Instead, he hopes to join our Laurent family."
The Duke showed a smug expression. As a leader, there was a magician, or a noble magician under the Duke, who expressed his willingness to bring his family to join him. This was definitely a huge affirmation of his ability.
Duke Laurent was overjoyed at Rex's show of goodwill and surrender.
"Rex is a very powerful magician. I think he has a bright future. I would love to see the Fili family join us in Adri. What do you think?"
Lin Xiaoman rolled her eyes speechlessly. Surrender? That's wishful thinking! As a male protagonist, Rex will definitely become the host in the future!
However, being the hero's younger brother is a little safer than being his enemy.
Although the original owner felt a little uncomfortable about turning enemies into friends with the male protagonist, she was more concerned about the Laurent family and the safety of Adrian. That slight discomfort could be ignored.
And now, the key factor lies with Joan.
If Joan and her brother Rex recognized each other, then their Laurent family would most likely stand on Rex's side.
If Joan doesn't believe in such an incredible thing as reincarnation and thinks Rex is a liar, then it's hard to say what will happen in the future.
"Dad, is Rex very powerful? Can I compete with him?" Angel clenched his fists, his face full of eagerness.
With Professor Lin Xiaoman's fighting skills, there are few knights in the entire Adri who can be Angel's opponent and fight against him.
When meeting a powerful person, Ang couldn't help but feel the desire to compete.
"Brother, have you learned instant release?" Lin Xiaoman, whose thoughts were interrupted, poured cold water on him with a faint expression.
Rex is a magician who can cast magic instantly without reading the spell bar, and he is proficient in various magic circles. For him, fighting a warrior is as easy as cutting vegetables.
"As long as we launch a charge, we can interrupt his magic!" Ange said confidently. Without wearing the heavy armor, he was a warrior with both speed and strength.
"Brother, you're getting married soon, can you please stop being so childish? You're already approaching the level of a great knight, right? So, can you spend more time studying magic? You know..."
"Ah, Dad, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I'll go first!" Seeing that Lin Xiaoman started to preach incessantly, Ang hurriedly interrupted him loudly, and then escaped at the speed of the wind.
"Really..." The Duke smiled helplessly and turned to look at Lin Xiaoman. "Well, Amy, now that you've met Rex, what do you think? Although it will offend that guy in Tari, the Fili family is willing to pursue our Laurent, which only shows Tari's incompetence."
"Dad, I think Rex might be a spy sent specifically by Duke Tari. No duke would turn away a magician, and Duke Tari might have noticed this. Rex might just be pretending to join us in order to steal our Laurent family's arrow carriage. Maybe the news of our Laurent muskets has even leaked, and he's most likely here to get the details!"
Dad, it's a good thing that the Fili family is willing to join us, but before all the Fili migrate to the territory of Yadre, we should remain vigilant against them, especially not let Rex know about our Laurent muskets."
Lin Xiaoman was very knowledgeable. Although they might become a faction, they must be on guard against the shrewd Rex.
The Duke looked thoughtful, then nodded, convinced. "Amy, you're right. Only when their entire family moves here can they be fully trusted. During this time, Rex will stay as a guest in the castle. Amy, you're so smart, how about you observe him?"
"Okay, Dad." Lin Xiaoman nodded without hesitation. She was the only one who could be responsible for such a brain-consuming task as dealing with the scheming guy!
After leaving the Duke's study, Lin Xiaoman looked deep in thought.
One thing is certain: the duel between Ange and Rex was completely eliminated from the plot. The probability of civil unrest in Adri is also almost zero.
She has designed the fourth generation of super-powerful eight-ox crossbow, which has such lethality that it can easily kill a dragon. She can start manufacturing it after Ang gets married.
With four crossbow carts with different effects and muskets, they will definitely be able to safely survive the future blood moon that will destroy the Laurent family.
So, her mission was almost secured.
However, I am afraid that the male protagonist Rex will cause trouble and leave hidden dangers for the original owner, as if he took the money but did not do a good job, and would feel guilty.
What should I do?
As I was thinking, huh?
She was clearly not walking, so why was the scenery receding?
No way, could it be... again...
