Chapter 408 Difficulties

He didn't expect that the other party's question was actually digging a hole for himself, and the source of this hole had already been laid while writing various books. ＠中文＠Novel w..

It’s just that when ordinary people come into contact with such huge and complex information for the first time, it is extremely difficult to understand it, and it is impossible to notice the flaws in it. As a natural science that studies the nature of everything in the world, it is absolutely incredible that the word magic is not mentioned from beginning to end. .

Roland himself also completely put the memory of the fourth prince behind him. Except for the first month of time travel when he consciously imitated the other prince, he never worried about it again. The minister did not dare to question him face to face, but he did not need to hide himself in front of the witch, so he became more and more unscrupulous.

But Tilly is no ordinary witch.

In addition to being the fourth prince's sister, she is also an extraordinary being.

Not only did he finish reading all the books in a short period of time, but he also keenly noticed this unreasonable point. His logical thinking is as clear as a modern person who has received universal education. Not only that, she used questions to guide her own opinions, and the two corroborated each other, making her almost indefensible.

Big crisis.

Roland's thoughts were racing, but he couldn't think of any feasible response. For those who could see this, any far-fetched explanation would only aggravate the other party's doubts, and a lie would require more lies to make up for it. , the loopholes will only increase.

During the awkward silence, Tilly spoke again, this time her voice was much gentler, "You don't have to rush to tell me the answer. It's late today. I'm going back to the witch building first. You should rest early. Your Highness."

"Ah... um," Roland stared blankly at the gray-haired woman, not knowing what she was thinking in her eyes. For a moment, he even forgot to get up to see her off.

Tilly stopped when she reached the door of the office and turned back to him, "Can I believe you?"

If it were normal, Roland would have said yes without hesitation, but at this time, he found that he couldn't say that promise easily, and in the end he just nodded slowly.

After closing the door, Nightingale clicked her tongue and said in surprise, "She actually left like that."

"Why do you look so sorry?" Roland glared at her angrily.

"I feel like I almost know your true origin," Nightingale stuck out her tongue nonchalantly, "Why doesn't she ask more questions?"

"Because she doesn't want to end up not even being friends," the prince sighed.

"What?"

"No...it's nothing," Roland leaned back in his chair and felt the slightest chill coming from his back. Tilly's performance can be said to be impeccable. She did not push herself too much. As an ally of Sleeping Island, Border Town is undoubtedly the most powerful partner. Under the current situation of the enemy, allies More important than the truth of identity. If the alliance breaks down due to pursuing this issue, it will not be good news for the Witch of Sleeping Island.

That's why Tilly asked questions and then chose to leave, leaving herself buffer time. However, this did not mean that she did not need answers. If she kept delaying until the threat of foreign enemies was lifted, she would also lose the other party's trust. Now that she had put down this move, it was her turn to respond.

But it is impossible for Roland to reveal the real news to Tilly, at least not now. Anna and Nightingale are not a big problem. They have known each other from the beginning, but Tilly is the sister of the fourth prince after all. Before the prince can figure out what his thoughts are, he must bury this news deep in his heart.

Shaking his head and putting these troublesome things aside, Roland looked at Nightingale and said, "You heard the conversation just now. I plan to ask you, Maisie and Lightning to go over and inquire about the situation. How about it?"

"Of course, no problem, Your Highness."

"It's not as simple as a conversation... To be honest, I'm a little worried about you." He slowed down his voice.

"Ah... Why can't you let go?" Nightingale's voice suddenly became a little jerky, "I-I have no problem, even if I tie her up."

"That's what I can't let go of!" Roland knocked on the table and said, "What do you mean by tying her up? I'm afraid she will tear our hearts out! Listen, you must not act recklessly this time. Inquire about the situation first, and then find an opportunity to meet with Speer Passi. It doesn't matter if she refuses, but don't threaten her. As a witch, she is no stranger to you."

"Uh...that's it?" she said disappointedly.

"There are so many things related to witches," Roland curled his lips, "Besides, you also need to cooperate with Lightning to record the surrounding environment, city defense facilities, patrols and garrison arrangements of Falling Dragon Ridge, and then return as soon as possible."

Nightingale grunted in response.

"In the end, that's what I said," he paused, "pay attention to your own safety, that's the most important thing."

"Here, another glass of ale!"

"Hey, the wheat porridge isn't hot yet, okay?"

"Coming, coming, waiting!"

Otto Losey walked into the tavern called the Underground Trumpeter, and the noisy noise immediately surrounded him. The roaring fire dispelled the chill, and the dull breath mixed with sourness and body odor hit his face, making him slightly He frowned. As a nobleman, Otto rarely stepped into cheap private places, and he was not used to drinking close to people. If he hadn't had a date with a mouse, he would never have patronized this alley tavern in the outer city.

According to the rules of this place, he quickly found his target, a thin man wearing a hood, sitting in a corner of the tavern. There were no candles on the table, and half of his body was hidden in the darkness. Next to the opponent's hand, there is a small piece of white bones.

Otto walked over to the man and sat down, "Skull finger salute."

"You don't have any wine, so what are you going to do with me?"

"The thing by which all things are measured." He spoke the code word.

The other person shrugged, "Just call me Hood. I heard you're here to get some information?"

Otto nodded. During the period when Tifeko did not give an answer for a long time, he did not take any time off. Instead, he went around to inquire about information about the traitor to the king, which would allow the king to still firmly occupy the Western Territory more than half a year after he ascended the throne, and order Tifeko is helpless and is obviously a force that cannot be ignored.

If you want to get as much information as possible, dealing with mice is the quickest way.

This was already the sixth mouse he had met. The news he had received so far shocked Otto. The legendary rebel king, Roland Wimbledon, the fourth son of Wimbledon III, not only showed no signs of decadence. , and even issued a challenge to the new king, claiming that sooner or later he would take the initiative to remove Tifeko from the throne.

And this person not only said that, he actually did it. Although Tifeko tried his best to conceal the news, Otto still noticed something strange about the collapse of the royal capital building. If these news are true, the value of forming an alliance with Tifeko It's very doubtful. He must figure out all this to avoid the Dawn Kingdom from falling into trouble.

"That's right," Otto Losi said in a deep voice, "I want to know what happened with the loud noise and collapse of the Royal Palace three months ago."
