Eighty-six The state of affairs
In the morning, as soon as the news was received, Roque Swider immediately came to the palace, and when he entered the front hall, he heard the angry roar of His Majesty the Emperor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the front hall, in addition to the old emperor who was seated, there were several guards standing in front who seemed to be guarding the treasure house.
The guards hung their heads to bear the wrath of the old emperor, and did not dare to make a sound.
"How are you going to tell all the people who participated in the fight, the door to the treasury is open, and the sword of light is gone! Where did you go? How did you make this happen!!
His Majesty the old emperor scolded loudly, ignoring the etiquette of the court, not only trembling with anger, but even blushing.
"Your Majesty. ”
A voice interrupted the old emperor's words.
The old emperor looked over and found Roque Swider with a slightly softened face, but he was still trembling with anger.
"You're here. ”
"How did you lose the Sword of Light?"
His Majesty the Emperor snorted heavily, "You ask these guys. ”
Roque turned his head to look at the shivering guards, one of whom noticed Roque Swide's gaze and was about to speak to explain the whole thing.
"Your Majesty, and Lord Swided, my name is Yanam Hill...... It's incredible to say...... I was the one who guarded the treasure house last night, and not long after I arrived at the door of the treasure house, I encountered a terrible ghost, please believe me, this thing is true!
"Roque, look at it! This guy! When did the Hill family come out with this kind of waste, they can't even look at the treasure trove!"
In Carranslan, the Hill family can be said to be a famous family, one of the few high-ranking nobles, and the guards of some important places in the palace are all from these noble families. The head of the Hill family was loyal to the old Emperor Devon Rupert, and was a close confidant of the Emperor like Roque.
If this happens, it is inevitable that you will be punished, but you must sell a favor to the Hill family and remember the past love. The people of the Hill family did such a stupid thing, and His Majesty the old emperor finally dealt with it lightly, after all, this matter was provoked by the Hill family, and the Hill family must give everyone an explanation.
After the old emperor dealt with the matter, the guards guarding the treasury left, including the grief-stricken Yanan Hill.
Finally able to face the old emperor alone, Roque Swider took a few steps forward.
"Before I came here, I heard about something. Roque said: "Last night, in addition to the opening of the door of the treasure house and the disappearance of the sword of light, there was also a small incident, I don't know if there is a connection between these things, I beg your majesty to listen to me explain carefully." ”
"Say, I don't think there's anything worse than this happening. ”
Roque nodded.
"I heard from the chief of the palace guard that last night several children from the ghetto broke into the palace, and they were all found by the guards and kept in one place, and according to the guards who looked for them, there was another child who could not be found, and they searched all night, and they searched all night, and they searched all the corners, but they could not find it. ”
"That useless bunch of garbage!"
"Actually, it's too coincidental, the Sword of Light has made a pact with you, it won't break this agreement for no reason, and if you break this agreement, the Sword of Light will be attacked by the contract. "However, lending the Sword of Light for a reason some time ago is something other than this agreement, and it has nothing to do with this agreement.
“…… I still remember those words of the Sword of Light clearly. ”
The old emperor's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Until a new owner is found and acknowledged, the Sword of Light must remain here, guarding all the treasures in the vault and not allowing any of them to be lost. ”
"Alas......"
His Majesty sighed, "I thought it was the best place for the Sword of Light, but I didn't expect it to break this agreement. ”
"Only if the agreement is invalid can the Sword of Light actually leave there, that is, it has found a new owner. ”
"Roque, I command you, you get the Sword of Light back. ”
"Of course, please give me a month, and I will give you a satisfactory answer. With that, Roque turned and left, leaving the old emperor sighing.

A few days later, on the outskirts of the Imperial City of Marlene, Roque Swider arrived at the place where a grand duel was to be held, and it would not have been deserted to the point of no one had it not happened that night a few days earlier.
This large tent was originally bustling with people coming and going, but unfortunately in the past two days, an absolute order issued by the palace has completely changed the situation here.
The order was to cancel the dueling tournament and never hold it, because the Hill family took the initiative to help find the owner of the Sword of Light, so there was no need to continue looking for the owner of the Sword of Light, thanks to the Hill family.
Despite the dissatisfaction of the people, this matter is over, and the Hill family is pushed in front of it, let this family suffer the wrath of the people, this matter is provoked by the Hill family, and it is the responsibility of the Hill family.
"There's a lot of change on the streets, and everybody is talking about it. ”
Roque said suddenly, and then footsteps came from behind him.
"I found you, why are you here?"
"Because here, no one else will come but me, and that's why you think of that, so you're here. ”
"I need help, and I'm asking you for help again. ”
"I don't think I owe you anything anymore, and it took me a lot of effort to convince the old fellow that I had never said so much, oh my God. The favor has been repaid, and I won't help you anymore. ”
"It's a deal, can you say that?"
"Deal?" Roque looked at the other man, "What kind of deal?" Desmond. ”
“…… I'll tell you something that even the old king doesn't know, and besides me, even Dominique and Donnacius don't know, the secrets inside the Temple's secrets. ”
"I don't know what this intelligence will do me any good at. Roque shrugged, saying that the things weren't very useful.
"I need the Sword of Light, and I'm going to use it to deal with those shadow mages, that's my purpose. As long as you want to know, I will always provide you with the information, even the Quartet-"
At this moment, before the rest of the words were finished, the picture in front of him flickered rapidly, and his voice disappeared. Then, as if a small piece was missing from Desmond's mind, Roque was suspicious.
"What were you talking about? What information can you give me?"
“…… Intelligence?"
Desmond had a flash of doubt in his heart before he spoke.
"Yes, intelligence, information about shadow mages, no one knows more about that organization than I do, and one of their strongholds is here, you must want to know. ”
“…… As much as I wanted to say yes, I couldn't decide, and the Sword of Light left the palace and disappeared. Roque sighed and said this.
