Fortunately, the young duke had enough self-control to see through the woman's tricks.
Although what she said was very rude, so what? Should I give such a sinister woman an opportunity to take advantage of me?
Roderick made malicious speculations, and felt more and more that beneath the arrogant appearance of Duke Gosset, he was actually a straightforward and lovely young man.
It must be him who helped Winnie and little Tony!
Duke Gosset is so charming.
Chen Tian didn't know that even though he hadn't done anything, his partner had already formed a natural filter for him and even found excuses for his various behaviors.
He wandered around the venue for a while, fending off a few people who came to talk to him. He was thinking about how to attract Roderick's attention and say a few words to him, when he found that the maid with the devil's aura who had been expelled before did not seem to have left.
Moreover, the woman deliberately stood at the door not far from the backyard, looking at him with watery eyes, and increased the intensity of her charm on him.
Is this, rushing to throw your head away?
Chen Tian raised his eyebrows when he saw this, knowing that the other party was not going to give up.
Just as he was about to casually crush this ungrateful thing to death, a good plan came to his mind.
Although I don't want my lover to have a bad impression of the devil, what could be more important than having a strong connection between them?
Besides, I don’t actually need Roderick to like some devil, as long as he likes me, that’s enough!
So Chen Tian not only did not take action, he also used some tricks to stimulate the devilish aura in the maid, making her more exposed.
Others might still not notice it, but as the only and most powerful one here, Roderick, whose strength has reached the fifth-level Great Knight, must be able to get a glimpse of it.
Sure enough, my lover turned his head sharply and looked in the direction of the maid with sharp eyes.
Seeing this, Chen Tian curled his lips in satisfaction, then slowly followed the maid and walked towards the garden.
Then he felt Roderick following him.
The garden behind the banquet hall of the City Lord's Mansion wasn't huge, but it had fountains, gardening, and all sorts of scenery. It was clear that the City Lord was someone who really enjoyed life.
Roderick followed Chentian quietly, and felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him and the pretty maid walking one after the other.
Normally speaking, such scenes are not uncommon. Young men and women leave the party alone and go to the deserted garden. It seems that they are planning to do something unspeakable.
Thinking of this, a certain knight commander felt an indescribable bitterness and grievance in his heart.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have continued to follow in this situation, but he still followed.
Although Roderick had been convincing himself that all this was for the safety of Duke Gosset, because of the demonic aura that seemed like an illusion at that moment, it was his duty.
But in fact, Roderick knew very well that it was because he wanted to follow.
He didn't want anything to really happen between them, and even had a glimmer of hope. Perhaps the boy hadn't followed the maid here to have any contact with her, and there was some kind of trap. Or perhaps there really was something wrong with the maid.
Unconsciously, Roderick was praying quietly in his heart, hoping that the God of Light would hear his prayers and do something to disrupt the good things of these two people.
After Chen Tian and his companions entered the depths of the garden and it seemed that no one was around, the maid turned around and gave Chen Tian a charming smile. After unbuttoning her tie, she began to unbutton her shirt one by one.
But after she had solved only two, Chen Tian stopped her: "Put away those little tricks of yours. I followed you here just to see what you were going to do. A plain-looking woman like you, do you really think you can be attractive to me? You're just dreaming."
"You actually withstood my charm!"
An expression of disbelief appeared on the woman's face. When she heard Chen Tian's disdain for her, her face suddenly became ferocious.
"Damn it! Who are you? It doesn't matter who you are. I just know that you won't be able to leave this garden today. Now, you'd better lie down under me and sacrifice yourself to the great devil!"
As she spoke, the woman's appearance changed rapidly. Her skin was covered with what looked like black scales. Her eyes bulged out, bloodshot, and fangs protruded from her mouth.
She ripped open her clothes, revealing her upper body.
Chen Tian quickly took a step back and turned his head. Although the other person was wearing a bra under her clothes, as a man with a partner, he still knew not to look at anything inappropriate.
You don’t need to worry about what happens next.
Looking at the woman opposite who had evolved into a monster and her shouting energy, as well as the not-so-calm breathing coming from not far away, Chen Tian knew that his Xiaobai was probably angry.
He quickly added fuel to the fire, making the demonic aura on her even stronger, and with a look of deliberate fear on his face, he shouted, "Help! Quick, help! This woman is a devil worshiper!"
As soon as Chen Tian finished speaking, Roderick rushed out immediately.
The monster was startled when a high-ranking paladin rushed out and stabbed her. She wasn't stupid, so she quickly took a step back and tried to escape. But Roderick caught up and blocked her path.
There was a huge disparity in strength between the two people, and before it was just that devil worshippers all had special ways to hide themselves.
At this moment, the woman felt extremely regretful. If she had known that there was such a person in the Paladin Order, she would never have taken action at this banquet.
Originally, the previous crimes had not been discovered by anyone, and she thought that the paladins here were all fools. How come she hadn't heard that there was a level 5 knight in the knight team!
Seeing that she couldn't escape, the monster could only fight back, but she was no match for Chen Tian.
She stuck out her tongue, which looked like it was not human, and threatened Roderick with a ferocious look on her face.
The long and sharp nails were waving, and when they collided with the sword, there was a ping-bang sound, like the sound of metal colliding.
The sound of fierce fighting attracted the people in the banquet hall. They all came to the garden to check. Unexpectedly, they saw Roderick fighting a monster in a maid costume.
Other paladins also came up to help, which made the monster, which was already at a disadvantage, even more vulnerable.
"Oh my God! This is truly horrible!"
"Why are there devil worshippers here?"
"God of Light, please bless us."
The people kept talking and praying, and then withdrew from the battle circle. However, seeing that the monster was at a disadvantage and obviously could not hurt them, these people's faces were full of excitement.
Finally, Roderick's sword pierced the monster's throat, and her body turned into a pool of blood in front of everyone, emitting a foul stench mixed with the smell of sulfur.
Seeing the monster being destroyed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The city lord looked at Chen Tian who was standing not far away, and hurried over, saying apologetically: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Duke, I frightened you!"
Chen Tian snorted coldly upon hearing this. "Of course I'm frightened. A mere devil worshipper could actually sneak into the City Lord's Mansion so easily. It seems the security in Gray Tower City is not very good. I think I'd better leave here as soon as possible."
After saying that, Chen Tian glanced at Roderick and saw that there was still no emotion or discouragement in his eyes.
She deliberately glanced slowly at the man, and without even saying a word of thanks, she turned around and left.
The knights around him were all dissatisfied with his attitude. Vincent couldn't help but complain quietly, "What? He was obviously rescued by us, but his attitude is still so bad.
Especially Boss Roddy, if it weren't for you, he would have died at the hands of that monster by now, and he didn't even say a word of thanks!"
Roderick didn't care about Chen Tian's attitude. He just knew that he saved the boy and didn't let him get hurt. This was the best outcome. But when he heard people around him say that his little duke was not good, he felt a little unhappy.
"He is the Duke of Murida and a distinguished envoy. Vincent, you should know what not to say!"
Roderick's warning made Vincent shut up unwillingly. He knew that his boss was right. If these words were to reach the ears of the Duke, he would be in trouble.
He just couldn't stand that spoiled brat. This guy was really too rude!
On the other side, a certain impolite kid whom Vincent had complained about in his heart was being escorted to a resting place with the careful flattery of the city lord.
After arriving, Chen Tian turned around and said to the city lord: "I will leave here tomorrow."
"What? Tomorrow! Your Excellency Duke, isn't that a little too soon? Please stay and let me entertain you well." The city lord said immediately.
"No need. I think I'd better get to the main city quickly." Chen Tian's tone brooked no room for argument. "Also, the road might be unsafe. I need someone to escort me. I think the Paladin Captain who killed the devil worshipper with a single sword today is quite good. He must be in the team."
The city lord knew he was referring to Roderick. Roderick was indeed the most powerful master in the entire Grey Tower City. Although he did not obey his orders, he could still discuss it with the local Church of Light, and they would not refuse.
It was originally just a simple escort mission, and there was really no need to go to the church, but looking at the Duke's expression, the city lord thought it would be better not to refute him.
The old city lord wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded in agreement, "The person you're referring to is Roderick, the Paladin Commander of the Church of Light in Grey Tower City. Don't worry, I'll discuss this with the Holy See in a moment and I'll be sure to have a team of Paladins accompany you to ensure your safety along the way."
Hearing the answer he wanted, Chen Tian nodded and raised his lips to say, "No matter what, he saved my life today. This is a great favor. I believe that the city lord will treat me well - thank him very much!"
When Chen Tian said thank you very much, he deliberately added emphasis, and the meaning was obvious.
The stingy city lord originally didn't want to say anything, but out of respect for Chen Tian, he could only force a smile and deliberately said generously: "Of course, of course, you are right. He protected you, which is a great contribution to Huita City. On behalf of Huita City, I will reward him with ten, oh no, one hundred gold coins!"
Seeing the other party's cold face when he just said ten gold coins, the city lord could only change it to one hundred. He felt so painful in his heart that he cursed Chen Tian countless times in his heart.
But Chen Tian didn't know this. He couldn't hear the city lord's inner thoughts anyway. Even if he did, he wouldn't care.
He nodded lazily, yawned, and went back to rest.
So when Roderick organized his team at night, before he had time to return to the orphanage, he received a notice from the bishop, telling him the mission of escorting the Duke, and also received a hundred gold coins.
When Vincent heard that this was a thank you from the city lord, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my God, is this true? It was actually given by the city lord? The stingy guy actually plucked the feathers!"
