......

Two days later, Camo Stoll tendered his resignation to Roland. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Won't you stay in the royal capital for a few more days?" Roland quipped, "this is the center of the Grey Keep, and all kinds of places to have fun are among the best in the kingdom, and if you miss it this time, I don't know when you will be able to come next time." ”

"I'm not you, I don't want to leave anything undone here," Kemo rolled his eyes, "There's still a lot of work to be done in the lab and the chemical plant, and if you want to get the gunpowder production line up and running, you'd better let me go back to Neverwinter first." ”

The other party's answer made Roland feel quite depressed, and after the situation stabilized, the atmosphere in the city became a little strange, first I heard many women claim to be their lovers, and then even the illegitimate child ran out. Of course, he knew that these were rumors, but he couldn't stand the rumors, especially since his previous reputation was really bad enough, no matter how bizarre the story was, some people believed it...... In desperation, Tasa had to come forward and drive the rats to extinguish the rumors.

"Alright then," he was speechless for a moment before nodding, "I'll arrange for a paddle steamer to take you back to the West, you've been working hard these days." ”

"It's good that you know. Kemo shook his beard, stroked his chest, saluted, and left.

This guy is really polite, Roland pouted, but he didn't care in his heart, and even hummed a little song happily.

"Looks like you're glad you're entangled by so many women," a cold voice came from behind him.

"Ahem......" he almost choked on his saliva, "what are you talking nonsense! They just want to make some money with this statement, and you don't know it." ”

"I—How could I possibly know. The nightingale's tone suddenly became slightly flustered.

"Oh, really don't you know?" Roland retorted, "I thought you were going to investigate everyone." ”

“...... Well," the nightingale figured out, turned over and sat down on her desk, and glared at him condescendingly, "I did go to investigate, but I was worried about your safety, afraid that you would bring unclear people into the palace, understand?"

"I understand," he said with a smile, but the next words made his smile freeze on his face.

"Most of them are fake, but what about Miss Kingfisher and Madame Rosser? they're not lying!"

Damn Yoko, I didn't expect that after the cover-up that day passed, she would still remember it in her heart. Roland silently cursed this "old friend" ten thousand times, while staring at her eyes seriously and said, "I didn't lie to you either...... The fourth prince in their mouth is indeed not me, you should be able to tell that it is not a lie. ”

Nightingale was stared at a little uncomfortably, and looked away slightly, "So this is a misunderstanding? They think it's you, and you're not there?"

"Of course not," said Roland, righteously, "in fact I haven't seen them!"

Her expression softened, "Then these women who claim to have an affair with you, will you let them continue to yell?" Tasa said that you didn't tell them to shut up. ”

"Of course, in the words of the golden dragon, it is completely in their arms, and if they use the knife...... It's going too far, and it will increase the suspicion of the people," Roland has never been able to order a kill because of this kind of thing, "It's better to make a big news to attract everyone's attention than to forcibly block it." ”

"Big ...... News?" Nightingale wondered.

"Well, it's something that will keep them talking for weeks," he smiled, "for example, the royal capital has been renamed Dawning City, and the Neverwinter City in the West is the new royal capital of Greykeep, etc...... When I leave here, these rumors will be put to rest. ”

Of course, there was much more to the big news than that, as well as the temporary absence of the king's enthronement ceremony and the recruitment of well-paid craftsmen...... Together, these messages take up enough of all of the people's leisure time. At present, the rats are spreading the fragment of the news, so that the masses can faintly hear the rumors, and finally the city hall will post an announcement to make it achieve the best publicity effect. It is to be expected that there will be a lot of discussion about this matter in the tavern for a long time to come.

"So you weren't smiling so much because of them?"

"Of course not!" Roland patted the list on the table, "I'm happy because of this." The chemistry show led by Kemo was a great success, and the effect was even better than he imagined - in the end, there were more than 320 alchemists, disciples, and apprentices in the association who were willing to go to the West, and the final number was determined to be around 500 if they were relatives. "The five chemical laboratories and two chemical factories in the border area add up to so many, but now they have doubled in the blink of an eye, and most of them are skilled hands, and with a little training, they can be employed, which is simply the greatest wealth after conquering the royal capital. He paused, "But that's not what pleases me the most. ”

"And what are you most happy about?" said Nightingale, curious.

"Look at this," he said, spreading out the list, pointing to the last few names.

Lightning...... Rayleigh...... Achill, isn't that the name of the three chiefs of the Alchemy Society?"

"Yes, Cammo didn't turn them down," Roland whispered, "and he said he had taken back what belonged to him. After learning about the rift between the chief alchemist and the Royal Alchemy Association, he thought that Kaimo would take revenge on him, but he didn't expect that the other party did not choose to continue this hatred - after Kaimo got the approval that should have belonged to him, he accepted the Lightning three for Neverwinter. This made Roland's heart full of warmth, although this era is very bad, there are still such a group of people walking on the right path, as long as there are them in the territory, the kingdom will get better and better.

At this moment, a rhythmic tapping sound sounded outside the window.

The nightingale flashed out of the window, took the messenger into her arms, and flashed back to her desk, "A secret letter has arrived." ”

"You're scared of it," Roland shook his head with a smile as he looked at the stunned falcon on the table, untied the note from his paws, and quickly scanned the contents of the letter, "Hmm...... It was a book in the mail, and I think we'll have to leave as soon as possible. ”

"What happened to Neverwinter?" the nightingale frowned.

"......No," he grinned, "Lotus and Honey are coming back." ”

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

"If it's just the two of them, it can be done," Roland said with interest, "but the letter says Tilly has sent a new witch as well." (To be continued.) )
