"Your guest, my lord," said a waitress as the curtain was lifted. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Let him in," Otto Lossy took out a silver wolf and handed it to the barmaid beside him, "It's none of your business for the time being, I'll call you if necessary." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"This is what you call a hidden place?" the man who came in removed his hood and looked around with a frown, "If it weren't for the Lotsie guards standing outside the door, I would have thought I was in the wrong place." ”

"It's not easy to ask you to show up now, and you can't just deal with it," Otto grinned.

The person who came was none other than Hill Fawkes, who "betrayed the trust of the Lord of Dawn, killed the Guardian Knights, and fled from Radiant City with his fallen minions". Upon noticing that Yoko and his party had left without saying goodbye, the Lord of the Dawn, Ampein Moya, was furious, declaring that this was a blatant provocation and contempt for Dawn by the Grey Keep, and that it was the witch who killed his father, and that he would not allow such an evil existence in his realm.

Of course, Otto knew much more than that, for example, while Ampein was searching for witches, he sent a team of knights to pursue the messengers, and issued an order that everyone except for the Joko could be disposed of at will, especially those witches who dared to collude with neighboring countries, and none of them could be let go. At the same time, Wangcheng also launched an inventory activity, and Denise, a businesswoman who had been close to the ambassador before, was taken to the palace several times for questioning, and Hill and others, who volunteered to stay as contacts, disappeared as if out of thin air.

It wasn't until a few months later, when the rumors had subsided, that he received another message.

It was their first meeting since they said goodbye.

"Do you need something to drink?" Otto patted the soft collapse beside him, "You shouldn't have a chance to enjoy this, do you?"

Instead of sitting down, Hill walked to the window and looked out, "This is the second floor, what about the reliable back road you mentioned in the secret letter?"

Rossi's eldest son sighed helplessly, and stood up to lift the soft and collapsed plank, revealing the swarthy hollow below.

"Slide down from here, and you will find the back garden, and there is not only a secret door in the yard, but also a dry well, you can walk from wherever you want. ”

"No one knows about this path?"

"Of course, along with this tavern, it is run by the Lotsy family. He spread his hands and said, "Lord Yoko is not wrong to call you a fox, you are still as cautious as before. ”

"If I hadn't done that, I'm afraid I'd be hanging on the gallows by now," Hill pulled out a coin and dropped it down the tunnel, listening for a moment before closing the plank. "If you want to tell me any news in the future, let's contact me by MeSign, it's not safe to meet in this way. ”

"But the secret letter is also a big risk for me, if the information in the palace leaks out, the first thing His Majesty will suspect is the three families," Otto sighed, "He is no longer the friend he used to talk about. ”

Ciel raised an eyebrow, noncommittal, "So, does the Lord of Dawn have any new moves?"

"He intends to attack the Church of Hermes and avenge his father," said the eldest son of Losi, who said slowly from the conversation he had heard during the court meeting, "and His Majesty insisted on it, despite the dissuasion of the ministers. Now that Glowlight City has begun to collect food, when the evil moon is over and the snow melts, it should be ready to go, and then the Royal Knights will go on the expedition with Duke Kabu, who is in charge of the western wilderness. ”

"I said why the recent porridge money is more expensive than a copper eagle...... Fortunately, Dawn is rich enough, and if it is replaced by Gray Keep, if the lord does not want to cause a riot, he will definitely not prepare for war in the evil moon. Hill said thoughtfully, "Is there something wrong with Hermes?"

Otto knew what he meant, and despite the fact that the Church and Grey Keep had fought in the Coldwind Ridge and the news of the defeat of the Holy City, further information was that both sides had retreated to their own territories. The ministers agreed that the Church may have suffered heavy losses, but it had not been completely defeated, otherwise the King of the Grey Keep should have led his troops to the Holy City to plunder - as the core city of the Church, there must be a lot of wealth accumulated there.

It was probably the Divine Punishment Samurai brought by the Pure One that made such an impression on Ampein that he stayed at the step of continuing to send spies to inquire about the information, and did not take any other action.

Now that the situation has changed, it can only be that something new has been discovered over there.

As for whether he avenged his father or robbed while the fire was on fire, it didn't matter at all.

"Your Majesty has not revealed the specific information to us, but I have heard from the merchants who have returned from the west that there seem to be quite a few refugees in the old holy city. ”

"Refugees...... Ciel, touching his chin and nodding, "I'll send this information back to Neverwinter." ”

"One more thing," said Otto, after a moment's hesitation, "at the Council last week, the Foreign Secretary mentioned the Grey Keep - he said that Roland Wimbledon was not the true ruler of the Grey Keep, that he had neither been enthroned nor housed in the royal palace, and that there were many nobles in the kingdom who were against him, especially in the east. Since he had trampled on the covenant between the two countries, Dawn also needed to guard against and contain him, such as supporting the nobles to continue to resist Wembledon's rule. ”

"Oh?" Ciel's expression froze, "What about the Lord of Dawn's response?"

His Majesty did not reply immediately, but judging by his expression...... There should be no small interest in this matter. ”

Otto didn't know why he was telling Hill about this...... Or rather, tell Roland. Judging from the current situation, the relationship between Grey Keep and Dawn is deteriorating, and he should be on Ampein Moya's side, just as the Losi family has assisted the Moan royal family for generations.

But he was never able to convince himself to accept His Majesty's policy, and exterminating the witches meant including Andrea Quinn, who was by no means the evil man Ampein put him along. He had explained to His Majesty more than once the relationship between the Church Purity and witches, but in vain.

Ampein no longer sees them as arms.

Otto also found that although he still addressed the other party as His Majesty, he had lost the respect he had for the old king.

Come to think of it, perhaps it was because he thought he was powerless to change the status quo of Dawn, and had to put his hope in Greycastle - in Neverwinter, he saw Andrea living freely, and in order not to break that life, he wanted Roland's rule to last.

"I see," Hill said in a deep voice, "don't worry, this plan won't succeed." ”

Otto nodded and took a deep breath, "So...... Can you tell me a little bit about Miss Quinn?"
