520 very capable chess pieces
Chill the breath!
Obviously she was about to become a queen, but a test turned her into the down-and-out appearance she is now.
Under somebody's roof.
And it's been underestimated.
When will they really have their own power, really stand up, and be able to confront other forces head-on, worthy of them?
With this unwillingness, Stephanie looked at Roland with some annoyance, but she had nothing to say.
Because what the other party says is the truth.
It's just that she's so upset, why does Roland target herself so much, but she treats Andonara so well.
Say a soft word to yourself and you'll die.
Not a gentleman at all.
Roland ignored her, finished his breakfast, and said, "I'll go first, Andonara, you're here to protect the Celestia." ”
"Okay." Andonara nodded, and then said quietly, "Come back early, don't come back only once a month or two like before." ”
Roland agreed, and walked over to give Andonara a gentle hug, saying, "Don't worry, as long as I'm free, I'll use teleportation to come back to see you, okay." ”
Andonara, who received Roland's reply, was so happy that she looked like a little girl who had received a birthday present.
Stephanie felt like she had been hit by an inexplicable mental blow.
His mouth was bitter, as if someone had stuffed something in it.
Then Roland left, and Andonara smiled at Stephanie and said, "I'll take you to meet some new friends and have afternoon tea together, don't say you're a princess, it's not good to scare my friends." ”
Afternoon tea!
Although she was quite worried about the situation in Frans City, Stephanie couldn't help but look forward to hearing that she could have afternoon tea with her new friends.
But then she immediately realized that something was wrong.
Obviously worried about the situation of Frans, and took advantage of this safe time to plan what he should do after returning to France, how to develop his power, how to deal with the problems given by his father, and what the first new policy should be after becoming a queen, etc.
These questions should be considered.
Why is my mind full of looking forward to having afternoon tea with others now?
When did you become like this?
Just these days?
Something doesn't seem right.
Stephanie fell into deep thought.
Why did you have such a change?
Another question has arisen.
At this time, the dazed Beatrice walked down the stairs under the guidance of the maid.
She looked at Stephanie and Andonara, and her confused expression finally turned to joy.
"Great, Princess Celestia and Lady Andonara, you're all here." Beatrice almost burst into tears: "I thought I was taken by some nobleman to my house as a slave girl." ”
Beatrice's constitution is poor and she has been in a coma until now.
Andonara sat her down, let the maid serve breakfast, and said, "This is Roland's manor, and you will live here until you find another man." Of course, it's okay for you to find a man outside, but you're not allowed to bring a man back to the manor, understand? ”
Beatrice was about to eat breakfast when she heard the words and said, "Lady Andonara, I am already a member of Lord Roland, and I will not betray him." ”
Andonara frowned. She didn't know what to do with this woman.
When Roland left just now, he didn't say what the identity of this woman was.
However, according to Andonara's understanding of Roland, this woman is definitely not Roland's lover who has recovered.
Then treat her as a more distinguished guest for the time being.
"We'll talk about that later." Andonara smiled, "We'll go find a few friends to have afternoon tea with later, and you can come along." ”
Beatrice knew that Andonara was Roland's woman, and as a lover, she had to build a good relationship with her hostess. "Yes, Lady Andonara." ”
Here, Roland teleported to the King of Frans and then to the door of the Moonlight Tavern.
Before they could go in, they heard a voice from behind: "Your Excellency Roland, you seem to have released our pigeons." ”
Roland looked back and saw a dwarf with a big red beard, standing less than two meters away from him.
In this position, the other party is a thief, if he doesn't make a sound and attacks directly, he will probably have to kneel.
Players in the game, life and death are not worth it.
But what if you're not a player and can't come back from the dead?
It seems that when you go out, you have to keep the magic shield semi-active at all times.
These thoughts swirled in Roland's mind for a moment, and then he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to release your pigeons on purpose, Princess Celestia was attacked last night, and we spent a lot of time trying to move her to a safe place. It's not ...... When it was over, I hurried over. ”
In fact, last night, Roland had been playing a game of hide-and-seek with Vivien.
I had so much fun that I forgot about it and remembered it in the morning when I had breakfast.
Then the first thing I did when I came to Wangcheng was to come to find someone and apologize by the way.
"You say yes, yes." The dwarf Wilmot waved his short fat hand, and he shouted in a loud voice, "The most important thing is how you should compensate me for my feelings. You know, last night I was looking forward to a night of wine, but I waited all night, and only the evening breeze was with me. Your Excellency, you have deceived me of my beautiful and innocent feelings. ”
Are dwarves so pompous?
Roland thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let's start drinking from now on, call your brothers, and we'll drink all day." ”
"Really?" Wilmot danced again on the spot: "But it's going to burn money." ”
Roland smiled: "We magicians are quite rich. ”
"Okay, then you open a box in the tavern first, and I'll call the brothers."
Roland nodded.
He turned around and immediately wrapped up the entire Moonlight Tavern, spending ten gold coins, and the drinks were not counted.
Soon, Wilmot, the dwarf, came with a group of men.
Roland counted, thirty-one.
The composition of this group of people is very mixed, there are men, women and children, and all of them look very distinctive.
For example, an old woman with very serious teeth, but when she eats, she is like a starving ghost reincarnated.
A bald hunk with only one eye.
A hunchbacked old man who walks on crutches, but walks like a fly.
A beautiful young woman with a gold ring on her nostrils.
Wait a minute!
Aside from Wilmot, the red-bearded dwarf, Roland really couldn't see his rank.
But in fact, Roland can see the level of people.
It is generally between LV5-12.
In other words, there are no particularly weak people in it.
This group of people is quite polite, and every time they enter the tavern, under the introduction of Wilmot, they take the initiative to tell Roland their identity and ability.
There is no one to hide.
Then the carnival began, and the group of people mingled with each other to drink and eat and drink.
It's just that every moment of drinking, one person leaves.
Roland didn't stop either.
By noon, only Roland and the Dwarves were left in the tavern.
"You're a good person, much better than the eldest princess. is generous, willing to spend money on us subordinates, and there is no expression in the eyes of the eldest princess who looks at people like inferior insects. Redbeard held a large wooden cup and drank slowly: "All of us in the dark chess have recognized you." ”
"Since they recognized me, why did they leave one by one." Roland didn't understand.
Wilmot smiled, "I've gotten some news." Whether we recognize a person or not, we don't need to say it, we just need to act. ”
"Actually, I'm a little curious, I can see that your abilities are not bad, since you don't like to see the eldest princess, why are you willing to be adopted by her?"
The question seemed a little acute to the dwarf, and after a while, he said, "Because the eldest princess is the best of all the nobles." ”
Roland understood.
When all options suck, you have to choose the one that doesn't look so bad.
"Each of us is a wanted criminal, and it was Princess Celestia who valued our abilities and took the bounty off us." The dwarf smiled: "Since your eldest princess knows, you can inquire about these things sooner or later." Princess Celestia actually knew that we weren't that loyal to her, so we just had a secret chess piece that we hadn't used once since it was built. ”
Roland sighed, "She doesn't trust you. ”
The dwarf laughed: "Isn't this normal, those big people who are high up, who will believe us." ”
Roland didn't answer because he didn't fully trust the gang either.
This is a matter of course, who would be stupid enough to trust a group of people who have just known each other for less than half a day.
At this time, the dwarf no longer had the joy of drinking and noisy before, he sat next to Roland, and said lightly: "You are the son of gold, and you are the key cultivation object of the Red Magic Tower, according to our judgment, your future status may be much higher than that of the eldest princess." Even the future Great Elder of the Red Magic Tower could be you. ”
Roland waved his hand: "Your intelligence is very powerful, you actually investigated me so quickly." The Red Magic Tower did invest some resources in me, but not as exaggerated as you say. ”
"We, the hyenas at the bottom, are the most sensitive to the atmosphere of the city." The dwarf said: "When we investigated your affairs, we found that all the forces in this royal city had tightened their teeth, at first we thought that the enemy you wanted us to check was too strong, but then we found that it was not the same thing at all, it was those forces who did not want to move at all. This simply refreshes our three views. ”
This group of people is very powerful, really powerful.
Both the ability and the overall situation are good.
It's a pity that the eldest princess has taken these people into their hands and not used them.
"Don't worry, since all the forces don't want to move, then in this case, the people who move are very suspicious. I don't think we'll be able to give you some clues in less than a day. ”
Just as the dwarf was saying this, an old camel came in from outside the tavern.
Roland had also toasted him before.
As soon as the old camel came in, he walked straight up to Roland and said, "Your Excellency, I have a very interesting clue. The pine coniferous family of the northern suburbs, the third estate, has been buying double the meat and flour before for more than twenty consecutive days. And that manor seems to have changed a group of maids. The previous batch of maids is gone. ”
