Chapter 409 Reliable Ally
"You must have found the right person," Hood said with a grin, his voice a little hoarse, making it difficult to tell the specific age of 21, "Don't think I live in the outer city, I happened to be near the palace on the day of the incident. As soon as the roar started, I ran outside the gate of the palace wall. ΔYou probably don’t know how amazing the loud noise was. If the thunder from the sky bloomed on the ground, it was nothing more than that. Whether the windows of the surrounding houses were made of paper or glass, All of them were destroyed by invisible forces, and some people were frightened to death because of the sudden noise..."
Each mouse claimed that they happened to be nearby and witnessed what happened, but a comparison revealed that each person's account was different. "Okay, let's not go on about these meaningless things. How did it happen?" Otto Losey interrupted, "Is this incident really related to the fourth prince... Roland Wimbledon? "
Hood coughed twice and stretched out his right hand, "Of course I can tell you, but..."
"You need to measure all things," Otto unbuckled his pocket, "How much?"
The so-called thing that measures all things is just another name for the golden dragon. There are only groups like rats who like to set up some simple passwords or passwords to show off their mystery. There is no level at all.
The other party made a two sign.
He took out two golden dragons and put them in Hood's hand, "This is not a cheap fee. I hope your information will be worthy of it."
"Of course, this is related to the credibility of Skull Finger," the other party showed a greedy smile and put the golden dragon into his arms.
The reputation of a mouse is probably as ridiculous as the kindness of a king. Otto snorted in his heart and said, "Say it."
"Let me answer your first question first." He probably had the reward in his arms and his hood was much more relaxed. He took a sip of ale, leaned back on the chair, and then pointed at the ceiling, "Thunder comes from the sky. "
"What do you mean?" Otto frowned.
"Aren't you asking how the loud noise was caused?" the other party lowered his voice, "All thunder comes from the sky, and this time is no exception. I witnessed with my own eyes that before the roar sounded, a white stone floated in After entering the palace, the next thing happened."
"Absurd! Do you want to tell me that a huge rock fell from the sky and destroyed most of the palace?"
"Hehe, everything I said is absolutely true, otherwise Skeleton Finger wouldn't assign this job to me. If you think I'm talking nonsense, you can leave now," Hood shrugged, "but the fee will not be refunded. "
"...continue." Otto suppressed his displeasure.
"It only took a few breaths from the time the stone appeared to the time it fell into the palace, but I could see clearly at the time that the thing was not big and fast. It was probably impossible to destroy the Cang Palace, so I called it It was floating. In addition, when the loud noise and thick smoke appeared, I also saw the rolling fire, which was so powerful that it was definitely not caused by the impact." Hood smacked his lips and said, "In fact, His Majesty Tifeko finally Didn’t the searches confirm this? The closed inner city area was cleaned up several times, but no suspects were caught. In addition, the palace area itself is heavily guarded. If the attack didn’t come from the sky, where else could it have come from?”
He took another sip of ale, "As for the fire and smoke, they are very similar to the phenomenon produced when an alchemical item called snow powder burns. This is why I am convinced that it was an attack. By the way, about snow I also know some news about fans, but you have to pay extra for it, just..."
"No, I don't want to know." Otto interrupted. He had heard about this thing from other sources. It was originally a celebration item and could be used as a weapon after improvement. It was unlikely that the mouse knew its specific ingredients, so there was no need for him to waste his money here.
"Okay, now to answer your second question." Hood said nonchalantly, "This matter has a lot to do with the fourth prince."
"What's the reason?"
"I wonder when you arrived in the royal capital? Of course, I'm not asking about your origin or... identity. This is the inquiry rule of the underworld. You don't need to answer me," the other party chuckled, "My This means that if you arrived in the royal capital in early autumn, you will definitely know one thing: His Majesty the King once sent an army of thousands of people to attack the Western Region, but very few returned alive, and these defeated troops also carried the documents submitted by the Fourth Prince. A document for His Majesty."
All six mice mentioned this matter, and it seemed to be basically correct, but he still had to ask a few more questions, "You mean the prediction of revenge? It's really a bit sensational. Are you sure this is not a folk rumor?"
"Most of the documents followed the defeated troops into the palace, and the small amount that leaked out was basically confiscated by the city hall, but the skull fingers can always surprise customers. In fact, I have a preserved notice here." The hood stretched out. He held out five fingers and said, "Considering that it is an autographed letter from the prince and is rare in quantity, the price will be a bit higher. What do you think?"
…
Otto Losey braved the cold wind and returned to the palace. Belinda immediately greeted him, "Is there any new news?"
"Not much, but I got a document from the Fourth Prince." He handed the crumpled note to the other party, then took off his coat and sat in front of the fireplace, detailing his inquiring trip. The answer to the second question is basically the same. With this note, the result should be clear. Roland Wimbledon is not as weak as His Majesty the King said at all. On the contrary, if the Kingdom of Dawn and Tifeko conclude an agreement The covenant may not be beneficial, and may even create a troublesome enemy for you."
"But the rats had different answers to the first question," Belinda frowned.
"This proves that the attack is very strange. Almost no one knows how it happened. On the contrary, I somewhat believe the last mouse's statement." Otto took a sip of hot tea and exhaled a long breath. After a long time, I felt uncomfortable all over my body.
"From the sky?" Belinda looked at him in surprise, "Are you crazy?"
"Of course not. If I hadn't seen this document, I wouldn't have dared to think about it. He is very confident about the time and location of the attack. Only by attacking from the sky can he overcome the towering city walls and tight defense lines and let the Even a well-informed mouse has no way of knowing," he curled his lips, "but that's not the point, the point is what we should do next."
"The threat to the church is imminent. They should end their confrontation and unite to resist foreign enemies."
"That's not something we can decide," Otto shook his head. "The only thing we can do is to win as many reliable allies as possible for the Kingdom of Dawn. His Majesty Tifeco Wimbledon doesn't seem to be... right now. reliable."
"Do you want to go to the Western Region?" Belinda was slightly startled, "Isn't that place affected by the Demonic Moon and in danger?"
"Compared to the danger of the kingdom's destruction, this is nothing," he made up his mind after a moment of silence, "You just stay here and wait for the new king's reply. I will go alone on this trip to the West."
