As if to find it abstract to describe it by hand, Alice found papyrus and used a quill to sketch out the general appearance of the roller: "Probably like this, the wooden shaft is fixed in a round hole in the wall of the box and can be rotated. ”

"Can you spin?"

"You don't need to understand why it's spinning, you just have to show what you can do and do your best. Alice looked at Dalin, this man was only in his thirties, his half-bald hair had long been gray, his body was weak and emaciated, especially the hands, the joints were strangely twisted, and the backs of the hands were covered with hideous scars, which made her a little worried about whether he was capable enough to make a qualified roller.

But Blackstone Fort was really unavailable, so Alice had no choice but to throw out a very tempting condition: "If you can make the right roller according to my requirements perfectly." Then I will exempt you from servitude, and your daughter, and allow you to continue to dwell in the castle as carpenters. ”

Dai Lin really looked moved, although he was ordered by the nobles not to engage in carpentry work, but for the lord who served, doing some carpenter work within his ability was not among them. Moreover, he was most worried about his daughter, who, with Elena's deteriorating eyesight, would certainly not be able to cope with the heavy labor.

"You are such a benevolent nobleman. Dai Lin looked excited and nodded hurriedly: "Although my hands are not as dexterous as before, I promise to use all my skills until you are satisfied." ”

Elena bit her lip tightly, she seemed to have never seen such an approachable, benevolent nobleman, with a little doubt in her eyes, her lips moved, wanting to ask if her promise was true or false, but she did not say it.

Alice glanced at Elena and found that her expression was complicated, with a look of wanting to say something, and couldn't help blinking: "This time it's also true." ”

"Hmm......" Elena was pierced by her thoughts, lowered her eyes in a panic, and held back for a long time before she said faintly: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Alice was a little curious about this little girl. She was about the same size as herself, but much thinner, with thin arms like hemp rods, but her small face with a pointed chin, a straight nose, and big amber eyes exuded a bit of youth and delicateness. If she had the same amber curls and had taken care of them, she would have been a very beautiful little girl.

Alice, who didn't know anything about carpentry, couldn't let it go, so she simply chatted with Elena: "Elena, can you tell me why you are so hostile to the nobles?"

"Uh......" Elena glanced at her father, and Dalin's movements stopped, looking at Alice in disbelief. The Sander family is loyal to the Duke of Ceylon in Waterdeep, and the nobleman he offended is none other than the Duke of Ceylon's in-laws, one of the four nobles of Waterdeep - the York family.

Seeing their father and daughter's nervous expressions, Alice shrugged her shoulders: "I'm just a little curious. If those tragic stories of the past sting you, then well, I didn't ask. ”

Dai Lin just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw tears appear in Elena's eyes, his fists clenched tightly, and the painful memories in the depths of his memory boiled again.

"Erin......

"Those vile and shameless brutes......" Dalin could not stop Elena's low, hateful voice, "burned my mother, burned our house." ”

Alice's brows furrowed, and her tone was quite calm: "What crime have you committed?"

"I don't know. Elena was too young to know the story of her mother's death, but the fire and her mother's last screams will forever be etched in her memory.

The tragic memory once again activated Elena's hatred fire, her little face gradually distorted, and an imperceptible dark light suddenly welled up from the depths of her round eyes, and her silver teeth clenched: "But I swear that I will slaughter all the beasts who have tormented us with my own hands!"

At that moment, she was no longer a weak and immature child, but a hideous and angry avenger.

The terrifying expression appeared on the face of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, and Alice felt a little intimidated: "I sympathize with your plight, you don't look like people who will actively provoke the nobles. Of course, the nobility is not all benevolent, and even the noble royal family will appear scum. For example, the mad king Persithius, whose sins are astonishing and hateful. ”

"Persithius, you're talking about the mad king?"

"Yes," Alice said with a reminiscing expression, "In the history of the Kingdom of Tia, there was a mad king who burned his own mother at the stake shortly after he ascended the throne, and his sister was sold to a brothel, tortured and died, and was stripped of human skin and made into a kingdom flag. In addition to this, it is rumored that he likes to eat people, especially newborn fetuses, and even the noble babies of the royal city are in his recipe. ”

"Oh my God, this is terrible!" Elena was only a carpenter's child and didn't know much about this history.

In order to satisfy his crazy perverted desires, he also made a decree to search for pregnant teenage girls throughout the country as his reserve food. Eventually, his madness was met with unanimous resistance from the whole country, and his own son broke into the palace and stabbed him in the heart on the throne, ending his short but sinful life. ”

"His son is a wise hero!" exclaimed Elena.

Alice sighed: "But letting a psychologically twisted madman become king is a shame for the kingdom of Tia, a shame for the royal family, and a shame for the nobility. ”

After Linda found a grass hole in the mountains to rest, Qin Song switched to Alice's perspective and observed the progress of the Whitney gin, but overheard a clue - the mad king Persithius.

In the game, there is a dark magic book called "The Confession of the Mad King Persithius", which turns out to be the historical past of the Kingdom of Tia. However, what made him wonder was that since the king who had reigned for a short time was so crazy and died so suddenly, he shouldn't have had much time to repent, right?

History is written by the victors, Qin Song knows this truth very well, there is no doubt that the great filial son who dared to learn from Alsace and killed his father with his own hands must also be a ruthless person, and it is very possible to fabricate a history of his father's sins and repentance to highlight the legitimacy and justice of his accession to the throne.

Any news about the Ascension Materials cannot be ignored, as it becomes more and more difficult to collect materials later in the game as there are more and more witches. But where exactly "The Confession of the Mad King Persithius" is hidden still needs to be confirmed.

Black Stone Castle, Daotan Town, Deep Water City, and the Royal Capital, these are all the towns in the Tia Kingdom that Qin Song knows about at present. Blackstone Fort is basically in his hands, and the next step is to extend the tentacles to the town of Daotan, which controls the port.

But before that, the threat of bandit groups must be completely eliminated. From Linda's vision, Qin Song learned the location of the exile town, summoned a three-eyed black crow, and flew towards the exile town in the vast night.

The three-eyed black crow waved its wings, ignoring the terrain restrictions, its speed was almost several times that of Qin Song's body, and the fatigue consumed was about 10% per hour, which was completely ample time to explore the situation in the exile town.

The black stone collar in the night is lonely and desolate, only the cold starlight in the sky. The dark black three-eyed black crow, after a period of flight, soon found the wheat field of the bandit group.

On the watchtower by the wheat field, there was a faint flickering fire, and two cloaked figures, with swords in their arms, huddled in the corner, talking in low voices.

"What happened then? That chick named Meryl is very hot, but the price is too high, I guess you can't afford to come up with that many gold coins. ”

"Hey, I paid double the gold and played twice. But after she fell asleep, I escaped through the window. took her purse and made more than twice as much. ”

"You cunning bastard, haha...... I like it. I really want to see Meryl's expression the next day, it must be exciting. ”

"Hey, Gary. I miss living in Waterdeep. ”

"It's a pity that I can't go back, but it's not bad to follow Master Weima. At least, we don't have to huddle like bats in damp caves now. ”
