This is indeed a very important clue.

There were no more people, but there was double the consumption, and a group of maids were missing.

No matter how you look at it, there are ghosts.

Awesome, worthy of a professional.

Roland admired it in his heart. I and Shuke have been messing around for a long time, and even Angel Nia has come, and she is still confused looking for someone, like a headless fly running into a mess.

Does this mean that all three of them are stupid?

Of course not, there is just a specialization in art.

Roland plays magic, Shukegao is charismatic, and he is a holy warrior, and he will obviously be a leader in the future.

As for Nia, it is strange that the angels who have lived in the kingdom of God for a long time will know the doors of these humans.

Let them be exposed to unfamiliar trades, and there is no one to teach them, of course, half the effort.

Dark chess, people who have good strength, but are at the bottom of society, are the most suitable for intelligence work.

"It's a shame that Celestia didn't take you seriously." Roland sighed: "Obviously, your strength is good. ”

The red-bearded dwarf took another sip of wine: "Those nobles who are high up and above don't care about us little people. ”

Wilmot shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, and then took another sip of fruit wine, his mouth full of bitterness.

"Take it." Roland handed Redbeard a small bag of gold coins: "This is the event fund. ”

Wilmot thought that Roland had given the bag of silver coins, but after taking it, he subconsciously threw it away, and then he was stunned.

As dwarves, Wilmot has a strong instinct for metal, and they can even tell what ore they have mined and even how pure it is by hearing the sound of ore and iron pickaxes colliding.

So when he threw it, he heard the sound in the bag, and it was immediately clear.

Twenty gold coins!

"That's too much." The dwarf jumped up excitedly, and the little dwarf jumped three feet high: "This is a gold coin, not a silver coin, did you take the wrong bag?" ”

A picture that has never seen money.

Dark chess ...... Originally, they were all prisoners, but in fact, they were all the kind with hardships, and Stephanie helped them 'whitewash', and then gathered them, and then threw them aside.

There is no funding for any activities.

Because in Stephanie's opinion, it is already a favor from her that these people can get rid of their status as criminals, they should work for themselves, usually don't think about asking for money, and earn it themselves, unless they need to work hard, Stephanie will consider giving them money.

Seeing the dwarf's excited expression, Roland smiled and said, "Take it, after all, there are thirty-one of you...... But I remember you said before, there are only a dozen of them. ”

Wilmot said with some embarrassment: "That's our self-developed members, they're all poor ghosts, and they make you laugh." ”

"That's because you don't want to use your abilities to make money in crooked ways."

When these people were eating and drinking in the box, Roland could see that they were poor people who could not have enough to eat.

Otherwise, when you don't drink, you'll be reincarnated like a starving ghost.

It's hard for these people, they are obviously quite capable, but they live so down.

The dwarf was stunned for a moment, and Roland's words spoke to his heart.

It's true that each of them has a little ability, not too big, but not bad either.

But why don't you use this ability to make money and eat?

For example, the old hunchback, who is obviously the top three hands, still chooses to help ordinary people look at the door and earn some small money that can barely fill their stomachs and starve.

In fact, as long as the old hunchback is willing, he can earn a lot of money.

In fact, everyone in dark chess has experienced a miserable life, and most of the reasons for their misery have a lot to do with their ability.

Therefore, people in dark chess don't want to use their abilities to make money.

Unless you can find someone who shelters you.

Princess Celestia is their common choice, but Princess Celestia is willing to help them get rid of their crimes, but she is not willing to use them.

This makes them very helpless and even a little lost.

And now, the use of dark chess has fallen into the hands of Roland.

A very generous, very patient, and seemingly understanding the suffering of the common people.

It should be good to follow such a master.

At least shelter them.

It also allows them to use their abilities.

The dwarf held the money bag in one hand and was excited for a moment before he said, "How nice it would be if you were the husband of the eldest princess." ”

Wilmot was well aware that Roland only had the power to use dark chess for the time being, and sooner or later they would return to Princess Celestia's side.

But if Roland is the husband of Princess Celestia, it will be different, and they can work for Roland completely without psychological barriers.

Isn't serving her husband the same as working for her?

Roland smiled and waved his hand: "The eldest princess can't look down on me, a little mage in a remote and small country." ”

The dwarf observed Roland's expression for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and chuckled: "Actually, you don't like her." The pride of the mage master is really much more serious than that of the nobles. ”

Roland had a question mark on his face.

He didn't understand how the other party came to this conclusion.

Tying the purse to his belt, the red-bearded dwarf wiped his mouth, and the whole person quickly became sober.

In fact, dwarves don't get drunk, and they get drunk because they feel that at some point, they need to be drunk.

They can express their emotions through false drinking.

Happy, disappointed, rejoicing, encouraging, sad, and so on.

If you can get drunk, you will naturally be sober.

The dwarf was gone, as fast as a whirlwind kid.

Roland paid for the charter and was teleported to Stephanie's basement library again.

It's a little too quiet here, the sound on the ground can't be heard, and here, if there is no outsider making some noise, you can even hear your own heartbeat.

Roland walked around here and didn't find anything special.

There's no discord in the air like the dark element.

Although he didn't find any clues, Roland was not lost and teleported away.

Since there are no more people living here...... The opponent will also teleport magic, and when he is resting, the opponent will teleport over, and even if he can win, he will be scared enough, which is not good for his health.

Roland found a hotel to stay in the royal city, and was thinking about how to get in touch with the dark chess people, but someone immediately came to the door.

The old woman with teeth.

When the old woman saw Roland, she said directly: "Master Master, we have confirmed that there is indeed a problem with this pine coniferous family. ”

Roland asked the old woman to sit down, but the old woman refused.

As a last resort, he could only give up and ask, "What's the problem?" ”

"That kid of the wild dog, with his keen sense of smell, has found the group of missing maids." The old woman's face was full of grief: "They were all buried in a big pit and died a terrible death. ”

Roland slowly stood up: "How many maids died?" ”

"At least forty."

"So many people died, and no one cared?" Roland subconsciously said angrily.

He is in the habit of bringing the habits of modern society with him.

In the Celestial Empire, not to mention the death of forty people, the death of four people at the same time is a big deal.

Half of the police in the city have to be mobilized, and then the city leaders may have to be held accountable.

But then he remembered that the world was not so friendly and peaceful.

He sat down slowly and asked, "Those forty or so maids are all slaves of the Pine Needle Family?" ”

"It should be."

"Not a single civilian?" Roland asked.

The old woman's eyes gradually lit up: "Master Mage, what do you mean?" ”

"I have to find a reason to turn my face, otherwise how can I do things well."

The old woman nodded again and again: "I understand, Master Mage, you are waiting for our good news here." ”

Then the old woman hurried away.

Roland sat in the hotel, scrolling through the forums.

As it approached evening, the old woman came again, followed by four dejected-looking men.

One is old and one young and two middle-aged.

"Master Mage, these four people are all disguised by our own people, they are all quite clever, if you want to find a reason, they will cooperate with you to do things."

Roland immediately felt that the group of people in dark chess were really smart.

They just put forward an idea, and they are already prepared according to their own ideas.

"Let's go!"

Half an hour later, Roland followed the four men to the northern suburbs, and a few other people quietly put a few corpses covered with gray linen near the gate of the manor.

When the four men arrived at the location, they dragged the four corpses directly to the gate of the manor, and then howled and cried.

"Daughter, why don't you have it, didn't you say that there is delicious food here every day, and you have a good life? Who killed you, who is it! ”

"Sister, you died so miserably, your face is gone, ahhhh

Bursts of crying, with a grieving accusation, soon reached the manor.

Not long after, a group of about twenty private soldiers came out of it, and when they were about to use force to drive the four people away, the leading private soldiers found that there was a mage standing in front of them.

"Your Excellency Mage, are you here to see our master?"

"You can say that, but not for me to see him, but for him to come to see me."

The leader of the private soldiers looked a little hesitant.

The Pine Leaf Needle family is the home of the Marquis, and this manor belongs to the fifth young master.

The fifth young master has a tyrannical temperament and beats people at every turn.

Many of the maids died.

It stands to reason that he should drive these people away immediately, otherwise the Fifth Young Master will definitely be angry when he hears these cries, and then he will kill him.

But the man in front of him, wearing a magic robe, is also a person who is not easy to mess with.

What to do?

The leader of the private army broke out in a cold sweat nervously.

But just when he was embarrassed, a frivolous male voice came from behind him: "Who is it, you dare to come here to make trouble." ”

The leader of the private soldiers immediately moved out of the way, and a young man in a blue costume walked over slowly.

He looked at the four men who were crying 'heartbreaking' and showed disdain.

Then his gaze returned to Roland, and he immediately frowned: "Your Excellency this mage, these people, you brought them?" ”

"Yes." Roland smiled: "These people are all tenant farmers under my name, but now they tell me that their daughters, sisters and other relatives are missing. Although it has been found now, there are no more people. I'm curious, why did you kill all the maids in the first batch and replace them with the second batch? ”

The young man raised his eyebrows: "You're not a royal family, it's your business!" ”
