Chapter 435 Arrested
"Why...would you want to give me this?" After a while, Tilly put down the puppet.
"Do you still remember what happened when you were an adult?" Roland said slowly.
"..." She pursed her lips, "Did you do it?"
"No, it was Tifeco and Garcia," the prince recounted the past, "but I am also responsible. If I had told my father, none of this would have happened."
"And the consequence is that you get beaten up by them," Tilly spat out, "so it's normal that you didn't say anything."
"This won't happen again."
"I originally thought that the extra memories in your head were all true knowledge and knowledge." She did not respond, but changed the subject. "Now it seems that is not the case. In addition to pandas, are there any other novel things? ?”
When he heard the other party curling up his tongue to pronounce the unfamiliar syllable in a vague way, Roland couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "Of course... there are countless. If I have a chance, I can tell you slowly."
There is no doubt about Tilly's intelligence. He believes that some words can be understood by the other party as long as he speaks half of them.
Sure enough, she was stunned for a moment, then looked at Roland with thoughtful eyes.
At this time, Andrea's shout suddenly sounded outside the door, "Lady Tilly, I'm bringing you a gift...go away!"
"Obviously it was me first, okay?" Ashes' voice followed.
"I'm the first!"
Roland laughed out loud and stood up, "A lot of unpleasant things did happen in the past, but those have become the past. I think we should not be bound by memories, whether it is you and me, or Border Town and Sleeping Island. If you encounter trouble in the future, you can come to me at any time...I will always be your brother." He paused and said, "Happy birthday, Tilly."
He opened the door, and the two witches froze on the spot, staring at each other.
The prince smiled and said, "No need to argue, the first person is me."
*********************
Otto walked down the street feeling disappointed, and Andrea's words seemed to still linger in his ears.
The eldest daughter of the Quinn family died five years ago, which is what the father wanted to see.
He felt that this sentence was incorrect and wanted to refute it but didn't know where to start. These days, apart from observing Border Town, he would spend the rest of his time wandering around the market, hoping to see her again, but in the end he found nothing.
Otto walked to a stone bench at the edge of the square, brushed off the snow on it, and sat down slowly.
Despite the surging thoughts in his mind, he still did not forget the purpose of his trip. Except for the military camp, he has walked through every corner of the town and has a comprehensive understanding of the place. For example, the lives of the townspeople were not so affluent at the beginning, but were no different from ordinary poor places. . All changes came from Lord Roland Wimbledon. He not only led the people to repel the terrifying evil beasts, but also invented various magical machines and tools to improve everyone's lives.
Otto witnessed the black machines operating in the mining area. Two three-iron machines could do the work that would take dozens of people to complete, and it was extremely easy.
There is also a towering iron tower by the Chishui River, which I heard can deliver water to residents’ homes.
and quickly constructed city walls, housing complexes, and docks.
Nowadays, the ditches being excavated on the road in the town seem to be for the purpose of installing more convenient heating equipment, so that residents will no longer have to suffer from the severe cold. News like this, he can see on the notice board in the center of the square every day. What's even more shocking is that most of the townspeople here can actually understand the official documents posted above.
The more he observed, the more unbelievable he found it. The changes in Border Town were everywhere, and they were completely beyond his imagination.
Opening up his notebook, Otto was about to record today's new discoveries when his hand holding the pen was suddenly grabbed by someone.
He raised his head and found two patrol members in black uniforms standing in front of him, "Are you Silver Eyes?"
That was the fake name he used when pretending to be a businessman. Otto responded calmly. Looking around, he discovered that black uniforms also appeared on the other two sides of the square, but they did not come closer, but kept staring at this side.
They are here to find themselves.
Otto's heart sank. He thought that the patrols here were different from those seen outside and behaved very well. He didn't expect that they would get into trouble now.
"What's the matter?" He said coldly. For these greedy people who bully the weak and fear the strong, there is no benefit in pleasing others. Even if it is blackmail, they cannot let the other party speak freely. If you really can't get rid of it, you can only move out of your aristocratic status.
However, the answer in black uniform was completely beyond Otto's expectation, "We received a report and suspected that you were conducting espionage activities. Now put your hands behind your back and follow the instructions. If there is any intention to resist, we cannot guarantee that you are safe and sound."
spy? What's the reason for this... Do they want to find a scapegoat? "I don't understand what you are saying at all," Otto shook off the opponent's arm, "I am a noble from the Kingdom of Dawn, the Losi family of Glow City, not at all."
The moment he threw his hand away, he was suddenly punched hard in the abdomen. Most of his strength suddenly disappeared. A stream of acid poured into his mouth, and his body curled up involuntarily. Then the two pushed him down into the cold snow, and his hands were tightly tied together with ropes.
"Noble? You said you were a businessman a few days ago." One person sneered.
"I warned you not to resist," the other person kicked him hard again, "You asked for this."
some days ago? Could it be that they have already targeted me? This is impossible... At least for the first two days, no patrol team noticed his whereabouts.
"Ahem... I am indeed a noble, and I have... documents in my luggage." Otto struggled twice, but the other party was unmoved.
"Go and explain to Mr. Carter," the two men lifted him up. "If you confess everything, there may be a way to survive."
…
After being held in prison for a day, Otto, who was hungry and thirsty, finally met the Lord Carter they talked about.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he grabbed the iron railing and poured out his words, "I am really Otto Losi. I come from the Glowing City of the Kingdom of Dawn. I was entrusted by the Lord of the Morning to come to Graycastle to seek help against the Church." Allies, not spies as you say! I want to see your lord, His Highness Roland Wimbledon!"
He has long heard about the darkness in the prison. The patrol team often colludes with the rats and imprisons some foreign visitors as scapegoats. If he is considered by them to be a lamb with no future, he may never have a chance to see the light of day again.
The other party was obviously stunned, "I haven't asked anything yet." He tilted his head, "What do you think of the result?"
A scene that surprised Otto appeared. He saw the figure of a woman emerging from the shadows. Her whole body was shrouded in a white robe, and her face was also covered by a hood, but judging from her figure, her appearance Not much worse than "Flower of Glow".
"Everything he said is true," the woman said, spreading her hands.
"Really, that means he is really an envoy from the Kingdom of Dawn?" Carter held his forehead, "It seems that we have caused trouble to His Highness again."
