......

When Hill Fox walked into the basement of the palace, he felt his heart tremble—not with fear, but with excitement. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info is hard to suppress the excitement.

The flickering light of the torches danced for him, and the echo of the stone slabs was a tribute to him.

He had never thought the dimly lit basement could be so wonderful.

Once at the bottom floor, Tasa searched him up and down again, then patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "Go ahead, don't stay too long." ”

Hill nodded, eager to walk into the darkness...... Passing through a pitch-black walkway, he slowed down when he reached the edge of the cage. It was a moment to remember, and he wanted to savor it.

Then he saw the murderer of his own wife.

Puppet King Tyfeco Wimbledon.

In an instant, Hill covered his mouth and his eyes welled up with tears...... Everything he did was not in vain, and the results came sooner than he thought.

If his wife could see this scene, she would smile too, right?

"What...... "Man?" the other man turned, and leaned eagerly over the railing, "is that you, devil...... Have you changed your mind?"

Hill stepped out of the shadows and paced to the Circle Wall.

Tifeco was slightly stunned, then showed a wary look, and moved two steps back, "Who are you? Who let you in! What about Roland Wimbledon? I want to see him!"

This is the king who is always on high.

Hill had only seen Tifeko from afar at the enthronement ceremony, when he was dressed in crimson robes, holding a golden scepter, and wearing a dazzling crown on his head, surrounded by the Knights of the Royal Capital, step by step to the high platform to be crowned. Hill had hoped that he would be a good king and that everyone would live in peace, but the ensuing citywide manhunt torn the troupe and family apart, and all hopes for the future turned into a bubble.

And now, at last, he has experienced the taste of revenge - unlike the bittersweet described in the story, there is neither pity for the enemy nor the emptiness that comes with success. He only felt sweetness and joy, and his long-dried heart was moistened again...... Unexpectedly, he found that he actually liked this feeling.

"I'm Hill Fawkes, Your Majesty," Hill bowed, "and you can't know me, a member of the Pigeon & Hats Acrobatics, but I know you. ”

"......" Tifeko said nothing with a cold face.

Unimpressed, he continued, "The Acrobatic Troupe originally had seven members, but because of you, we lost one of our partners. The remaining six people no longer focus on the show, but wander through the rats and taverns, inquire about any movements about you, and then sort out and analyze the news and send it to Lord Roland. He paused, "By the way, your plan to develop snow powder and the forced militia to invade the western frontier are all information we sent. In addition, I also did the sudden closure and relocation of two saltpeter farms in the suburbs. ”

"What do you want to say?" said Tifeco, narrowing his eyes, "a thief who is complacent about what he has done, a traitor who has betrayed his king and sold his honor for profit? I don't know any pigeon topper acrobatic troupe, put away your tricks, untouchable!"

"Interests, traitors, no...... Your Majesty, I just followed my heart," Hill said calmly, "and that companion is my wife. She died in the midst of your witch hunt, in prison, where she was tortured and humiliated, and the ultimate punishment for the murderer was twenty-five silver wolves. ”

Tifeko's eyes flickered.

"You remember?" he spread his hands, "although the town hall issued three gold dragons as compensation afterwards, what is the use of that? My wife will never come back." She's not a witch, but she's died because of you. ”

It took a while for the other to speak, "I didn't do that. ”

This weak answer is as sweet as honey, and if it were normal, I am afraid that all I get is a disdainful sneer and so what.

"At that time, it was Lan Li who carried out the arrest order, and even the Steelheart Knight was helpless against him. I just wanted a fair verdict, but both the court and the town hall rejected my appeal, which is undoubtedly because you are behind the scenes-"

"No, that's enough, untouchables!" Tifeco couldn't help but growl, "do you know what you're doing? If the witch hunt just killed your wife by mistake, you're burying the whole Greykeep!Lord Roland?! Fool, Roland Wimbledon is long dead! Your master is the real devil, and you decided to work for a woman?"

“...... Really?" said Ciel, raising the corners of his mouth, "when I begged the gods but received no answer, I made a vow that I would follow him to hell if I could achieve revenge, even if it was a devil." He stroked his chest and saluted, "Goodbye, Your Majesty." I am honored to be able to add a handful of firewood to your downfall. ”

......

Walking to the basement entrance, Tasa nodded his chin at him, "Satisfied?"

Ciel took a deep breath, "Yes, my lord, please take me to His Majesty Roland." ”

On the third floor of the palace, he finally met the person he had worked for for half a year - Roland Wimbledon was much more approachable than Tifeco, and although he had the same gray hair and gray eyes, he did not reject the arrogant temperament of thousands of miles away. He even ...... It's not like being a royal nobleman.

"It's really hard for you to lurk in the royal capital these days," the other party's first sentence also surprised Hill, "Thanks to your intelligence, I can be fully prepared to take the royal capital at the lowest cost." ”

"No, that's just what I'm supposed to do—"

"Of course, I know you're here for revenge, and that Tifeco will soon get the justice he deserves, and that your purpose has been fulfilled and that you can start a new life in the future, but I hope that you can continue to work for me while you are not doing so. Roland got up and walked up to him, his eyes meeting him, "There is still a lot to be done to restore stability to the city and even to its former prosperity. The rats need to be controlled, and the restless nobles have to be watched, and Tasa alone can't keep an eye on them. What do you think? You and your acrobatic troupe will be given a secret and formal job to protect the people of this city from a similar tragedy again. ”

"I do, Your Majesty," said Ciel, kneeling solemnly, "and even if you don't say so, I'll follow you to the ends of the earth." You've made good on your promise, and now it's my turn. He said word by word, "The rest of Hill Fox's life will be yours." ”

The flower of vengeance has finally borne its most delicious fruit. (To be continued.) )
