By the time Roland returned from the cemetery to the Bronco Tavern, it was already evening.

Because the queen's exile has passed, and the curfew has been lifted, even now that it is close to night, there are still many vendors and pedestrians on the streets, and there seem to be more drunkards in the Mustang Tavern.

It's also noisier.

Roland went up to the second floor and into the room under the watchful eyes of a large group of people.

Hussere had already returned to his room, and he was bragging with a group of friends, when he saw Roland, patted the chair beside him, and said, "Sit down, have a glass of wine, I have something to tell you." ”

A glass of sweet wine was in his stomach, and Roland's dry throat was much more comfortable: "Okay, let's talk." ”

At this time, the voices of other friends chatting and talking subconsciously were much lower, and they didn't want to disturb the two of them.

Hou Selei's temperament became more and more gloomy, and his voice was also the kind of bland special line with a vague coldness, which was already a bit like a poisonous snake: "According to the information that our Thieves Guild has gathered before, the reason why the queen was taken away is because the Magic Association has an appeal to the royal family. In this way, they are telling the king that we can take the queen captive and threaten your safety. You'd better agree to the conditions we propose. ”

Roland frowned: "The Magic Association is so arrogant? ”

"Definitely arrogant!" Hou Seret spread his hands and said: "Seventy percent of the personnel of the Magic Association are nobles, this is a feudal society, although the royal family is the largest and strongest aristocratic family, but the lords are not much worse than it, and the most important thing is that the joint effect of the Magic Association's 'group' is too strong, they are either inferior to the royal family in pure combat effectiveness, after all, there is no military power, but all kinds of intricate relationships are like a big net, netting the entire Holeween country, even the royal family is very jealous, and now it is a bit of a big situation." ”

"So, what is the appeal of the Magic Society?"

Hussere shook his head: "I don't know, even our thieves' guild didn't hear about it, we only know that the president and the king personally talked about it." ”

Roland listened very carefully and subconsciously took a sip of fruit wine.

"The queen was not mistreated, and it is said that the Magic Society deliberately threw the queen's clothes into the river for people to discover." Huselleh thought for a moment and said, "And why the Bard family is used as a sacrifice, except for the two big guys, no one knows the reason. Kaka's fate was sealed from the beginning, after all, it was he who was on patrol and the queen was taken captive. ”

"In other words, I want to help Kaka get revenge, and now I can't find the murderer?" Roland said unhappily, "Do you have to go to the president, or the king to ask them?" ”

Hussere smiled and said, "Not necessarily, we can go and ask another party." ”

Roland couldn't figure out who it was.

"Queen!"

Roland was a little surprised.

Three hours later, Hussere led Roland to the west of the palace, in a relatively remote manor.

The manor was surrounded by a dense forest belt, and there was a path at the main entrance that only allowed a carriage to travel, and Hussere led Roland through the woods, and the noise of the royal city seemed to be cut off from this forest belt.

The two came to the gate of the manor, and under the moonlight, they saw a white mansion bathed in the moonlight.

But the mansion in the manor was very quiet, and no sound came out, except for the balcony on the second floor, where a candle was still lit.

The candle is blown by the slight night wind, flickering and dimming, and seems to be extinguished if you are not careful.

There was a guard at the gate of the manor, and when Serre came over, he handed the guard a white scroll.

With a strange smile, the guard opened the door to the manor.

Then Hussere pointed inside, and said, "Only one person can go in." ”

Roland nodded, and as soon as he entered the manor, the guards closed the door.

He wondered why meeting the queen would give people a sneaky feeling.

But he didn't think too much about it, and followed the cyan stone path to the door of the mansion.

As soon as you look up, you can see a beautiful woman, sitting on the balcony on the second floor, she is wearing a thin silk gown, and in the moonlight, some special parts are faintly visible.

Roland frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Then an elderly butler came out of the door, bent down slightly, and said, "Your Excellency, Honorable Master, please come with me." ”

Even if you come, you don't want to think so much. Roland took a slight breath and followed the old butler up to the second floor, then to the entrance to the balcony.

The old butler bowed and left silently.

Roland walked out onto the balcony and saw a beautiful woman with long brown hair sitting in a chair.

She wears very coolly, silk is a fabric with a high 'visibility', and the better the silk, the higher the visibility.

And the silk clothes worn by this beauty should be of the highest grade, and are generally used as ceremonial coats.

For a moment, Roland felt that there was no place for his eyes, and finally he could only look at the woman's face, and then sat down opposite her.

"Is this Her Royal Highness?"

The beauty kept looking at the face outside and turned back, she looked Roland up and down, a little surprised: "It's actually a young and promising magician?" I thought it was a fat-headed old thing. In this way, I don't lose too much. ”

Roland seemed to understand something.

"Before I begin, I want to know your name." The queen's expression was tangled.

There is a kind of helplessness, and there is also a kind of resignation.

Roland shook his head slightly: "I'm here to ask you something." ”

"Huh? Ask me about things, just because of this thing, I used up a very valuable book of indulgence? ”

It turns out that Husére gave the guards a 'book of indulgence'? Worth the money?

The queen kept looking at Roland's expression, and when she saw the puzzled look on his face, she became curious: "You didn't know what was going on before you came?" ”

"I don't know, I really just wanted to ask you some questions."

"Ask, let's chat, we will get to know each other better, and we will get to work later, maybe I will be less resistant."

The wind suddenly became stronger, blowing out the candles.

The queen in the moonlight, her smooth face reflected a bright luster, and her face had a sad taste, which looked very charming.

Roland took a deep breath and felt a little incredible: "You are the queen, how can you fall to such a point?" ”

"Queen?" She chuckled, her voice crisp, mixed with a kind of resentment: "After tonight, I will no longer be a queen." How could a woman whose reputation had been tarnished and who would have to sleep with other men be qualified to be queen again? ”

Roland became more and more puzzled.

"Looks like you don't know anything." The queen looked at Roland again for a moment and asked, "Who gave you the Toning Scroll?" ”

"My good friend."

"Then he's really willing."

Roland's expression was rather strange: "I still don't understand, why would the king let you do this...... Thing? ”
