Chapter 529 The Returning Witch

next chapter

…

Two days later, Kemo Stryer bid farewell to Roland.

"Don't you want to stay in the royal capital for a few more days?" Roland joked, "This is the center of Graycastle, and the various places for fun are the best in the kingdom. If you missed it this time, I don't know when you can get there next time. coming."

"I'm not you, and I don't want to leave any unfinished relationship here," Kaimo rolled his eyes, "There is still a lot of work to be done in the laboratory and chemical plant. If you want the gunpowder production line to operate normally, you'd better first Let me return to Neverwinter."

The other party's answer made Roland feel depressed. After the situation stabilized, the atmosphere in the city became a little strange. First, he heard many women claiming to be his lovers, and later even illegitimate children ran away. Of course, he knew that these were all rumors, but he couldn't stand up to the public opinion, especially since his previous reputation was indeed bad enough. No matter how bizarre the story was, some people believed it... In desperation, he had to ask Tassa to come forward and drive him Rats put an end to rumors.

"Okay then," he was speechless for a while, then nodded and said, "I will arrange a paddle steamer to take you back to the West. You have worked hard these days."

"It's good that you know." Kaimo shook his beard, caressed his chest and bowed before leaving.

This guy was really rude. Roland curled his lips, but he didn't mind. He even hummed a little tune happily.

"It seems that you are quite happy to be entangled with so many women," a cold voice came from behind.

"Ahem..." He almost choked on his saliva, "What are you talking about? They just hope to make some money through this statement. It's not like you don't know."

"I, how could I know?" Nightingale's tone suddenly sounded a little panicked.

"Oh? Do you really not know?" Roland shot back, "I thought you went to investigate everyone."

"...Okay," Nightingale appeared, turned over and sat on the desk, glaring at him condescendingly, "I did go to investigate, but it was because I was worried about your safety and that you would bring in unknown people. Palace, do you understand?”

"I understand," he said, suppressing a smile, but the other person's next words made his smile freeze on his face.

"Although most of them are false, what about Miss Kingfisher and Mrs. Rosser? They are not lying!"

Damn Yorko, she didn't expect that after that day's cover-up, she would still remember it in her heart. Roland silently cursed this "old friend" ten thousand times, and at the same time looked into her eyes seriously and said: "I didn't lie to you...the fourth prince they talked about is indeed not me. You should be able to tell that this is not a lie. .”

Nightingale was a little uncomfortable being stared at, and she averted her eyes slightly, "So this is a misunderstanding? They thought it was you, but you were not there?"

"Of course not," Roland said righteously, "In fact, I have never seen them!"

Her expression softened, "Then these women who claim to have an affair with you, will you just let them continue to yell? Tasa said you did not tell them to shut up."

"Of course, using Jin Long's words is exactly what they wanted. Using a knife... would be too much and would increase people's suspicion." Roland could never order someone to kill because of such a thing. "Compared to forcibly blocking it, It’s better to create big news to attract everyone’s attention.”

"Big... news?" Nightingale asked doubtfully.

"Well, it's just something they can discuss for weeks," he smiled, "For example, the royal capital will be renamed Dawn City, Neverwinter City in the West will be the new royal capital of Graycastle, etc... Wait for me After leaving here, these rumors will also die down."

Of course, the big news goes beyond that. There is also the king's temporary enthronement ceremony and the recruitment plan for craftsmen with generous benefits... These news combined are enough to occupy all the people's free time. The mice are currently spreading clips of the news, letting the public hear the news faintly, and finally the city hall will post an announcement to achieve the best publicity effect. It can be expected that this matter will be discussed in the tavern for a long time.

"So it wasn't because of them that you smiled so happily before?"

"Of course not!" Roland patted the list on the table, "I'm happy because of this." The chemistry show led by Kaimo was a great success, and the effect was better than he imagined. In the end, the alchemists in the association who were willing to go to the Western Region and There were more than 320 disciples and apprentices, and including relatives, the final number was determined to be around 500. "The total number of five chemical laboratories and two chemical plants in the border area has only doubled, and now it has doubled in the blink of an eye, and most of them are experienced people. They can take up the job with a little training. It is like after conquering the capital. The biggest fortune." He paused, "But this is not the happiest thing for me."

"Then what are you happiest about?" Nightingale asked curiously.

"Look at this," he spread out the list and pointed to the names at the end.

"Leitning...Riley...Aqil, aren't these the names of the three chiefs of the Alchemy Association?"

"Yes, Kaimo did not reject them," Roland said softly, "He said that he had gotten back what belonged to him." After learning about the rift between the chief alchemist and the Royal Capital Alchemy Association, he originally thought that Kaimo would be cruel. He came back with a ruthless revenge, but he didn't expect that the other party would not choose to continue this hatred. After Kaimo got the recognition that should have been his, he accepted the three Lighten people for Neverwinter City. This filled Roland's heart with warmth. Although this era was terrible, there were still such a group of people walking on the right path. As long as they were in the territory, the kingdom would get better and better.

At this time, there was a rhythmic knocking sound outside the window.

Nightingale flashed out of the window, hugged the messenger into her arms, and ducked back to the desk, "A secret message has been sent."

"You scared it." Looking at the stunned Gray Falcon on the table, Roland shook his head in confusion, untied the note from his paws, and quickly scanned the contents of the letter, "Well...it's from the scroll, I think we have to get going as soon as possible."

"Something happened in Neverwinter City?" Nightingale frowned.

"No..." he grinned, "Lian and Mi Tang will be back soon."

"Those two little guys..." Nightingale's voice sounded a little low for some reason, "Actually, there is no need to rush back in such a hurry. After all, there are only two people. Lightning and Maisie can pick them up, which is easier than a hydrogen balloon. It’s much faster, you can reach the royal capital in one day.”

"If there are only two of them, they can indeed do this," Roland said enthusiastically, "but the letter said that Tilly also sent a new witch." (To be continued.,, Your support is mine The biggest motivation.)17-01-1311:25:34
