"The person arranged by the Duke in Zebel turned out to be you." Rodney said.
Lynch smiled and nodded.
"I thought about all the possibilities around me, I thought that another person came after me, and none of them met the conditions, but I didn't expect to be a month before me - half a year."
"The Duke's plan has been implemented for a long time," Lynch folded his hands proudly, "Knight Rodney, you are the main force in this operation, but not the only one... When were you going to do it? "Our Motherland" has been waiting for a long time. ”
"I'm not ready, I need to be one step closer to the royal family, to be in a high position, to be in charge of more soldiers..."
"There's no need," interrupted Lynch, "it's enough for the Duke to send you into a play, and then stay in the enemy's palace, to raise your status to the rank of an officer who can send troops, and then find a suitable reason for the army to leave the royal capital?" That's just a secondary plan, King Charles is willing to give you such a big military power, and you will only serve for five months... It's unlikely, you and I know it very well. Even if you play it ten more times you let the dragon threaten the princess and take credit for it. ”
“... Have you figured out something else? Rodney lowered his eyebrows and asked, vaguely guessing that it had something to do with the theft of the slave spell seal scroll.
"Of course, there is an easier way to make the royal capital an ungarrisoned city, and that is what today's meeting of the Andu Throne Hall is about."
"Are you going to use the stolen scrolls to enslave the subhumans or beastmen and disperse them from Zeber's army?"
"Actually, there are no stolen scrolls at all," Lynch booed with his index finger, "eight hundred sects from the Ministry of Magic, and one hundred sects from me... None of them were stolen, they were just hidden. ”
"False news."
"That's right, to enslave nine hundred subhumans who were captured at random, do you think you can be competent in battle? Even if they are given half a year of training, in front of the kingdom's army, the actual combat will only be like ants. ”
"So our main force is still the Standy Kingdom Army."
Lynch nodded.
"Where are they now?"
"You haven't crossed the border yet, and you'll need to use your abilities then, Rodney Knight," Lynch stared straight at Rodney's face, but the other party didn't look at his side, "It's really not the right time for the goblins to appear, but the northern border guards have increased." ”
"Hmm... It doesn't matter, no matter how many border troops there are, there is no hindrance, but it has played a role in reducing the strength of the royal capital. Rodney said casually.
"Knights of Rodney, it seems that there is little enthusiasm for carrying out this plan?" Lynch leaned over when he asked, judging by the other party's attitude.
"Why do you say that," said Rodney calmly, "Lord Duke has raised me for many years, and my loyalty is the same. ”
"Ah, just kidding, don't be so inhibited," Lynch laughed, "but I've heard some bad rumors, just as I have a way of hearing about the Throne Hall meeting." ”
Rodney was silent, waiting for Lynch to tell what kind of rumors it was.
"I heard that five months ago, you saved the eldest princess Felicia from the clutches of your pet Douglas, and the eldest princess has treated you well, you understand that "good" here means a special level, right?"
"Nothing." Rodney decisively denied it.
"Of course there shouldn't be such a thing, and regardless of the eldest princess's weird brother, King Charles will not allow it." Lynch got closer to Rodney, although he was shorter than the other party, Lynch's attitude did not back down, "After taking Zeber, King Charles has to die, but fortunately he has no queen... But in this way, the eldest princess Felicia is the rightful heir to the throne, and she also has to die... This is what the Duke meant, and he wants the knight of Rodney to understand this. ”
"Okay." Rodney nodded expressionlessly.
"I'm going to let you know what's going on in the near future, so please cooperate with me, Knight Rodney."

In Sinclair's department store, Long Ge holds a "black iris" spear in one hand.
Roll to the position of four fingers and toss the spear again.
"It's so light," she exclaimed in amazement.
"Of course, see the scroll in the middle?" Let the matter be settled, Xia Zuo rubbed his nose.
In the center of the spear, a crimson "Attribute Reduction Scroll" was tied with a tether, which wrapped the shaft of the spear, and now the black spear was only the weight of an ordinary iron spear.
"But the weight is lighter, and the attack power is also greatly reduced, which is about one thousandth of the original compared to the weight, and then untie the scroll when you fight..."
"Huh~"
Before Xia Zuo finished speaking, he weighed the shaking of the spear, causing the tether to loosen, and the scroll fell immediately.
"Hey!" Long Ge reacted quickly and grabbed it so that the spear didn't fall off his hand and hit the ground.
But the weight of more than a ton generated in an instant made Long Ge's feet bend his knees, and the wooden floor of the grocery store collapsed and broken, and the ends were protruding.
"Ah, guest!" The grocery store owner arrived in great distress.
"I'm sorry, I'll pay for it." While speaking briefly, Xia Zuo leaned over to pick up the scroll, re-tied the shaft of the spear, and tied a stronger knot.
Two double-doored grocery stores, more than three times the size of the Beecher Weapons Store, a dozen customers all looked at each other curiously and discussed.
Long before Long Ge stepped on the floor, they had already begun to watch.
"Look, that's the 'Shapeshifting Harpy' that just caused a riot in the city!" Anxious adventurer woman said.
"It's nothing, she has a "slave curse" on her neck, it should be the man's slave, it seems to be a guest brought back by the knight of Rodney." The male adventurer whispered in response.
"Why are there tall women with such muscles, it's so unladylike!"
"What a lady... Aren't you a female adventurer? ”
Glaring.
"Hausman, can't do it yet?" In a hidden corner where the three subhumans were, a stiff-looking feline subhuman male urged the tall Ursa subhuman male.
"yes, you've been staring at the dark-skinned woman for twenty minutes, our plan to rob the store...", the other companion, a diminutive Weasel male, chimed in, but the feline covered his mouth.
"Be quiet!" The cat reprimanded, looking left and right, but fortunately everyone's attention was attracted to the man and woman, and they didn't hear their conversation.
"'Shapeshifting Harpy'? Don't you think it's a match made in heaven for that young lady, who is about as tall as me, who looks strong, and, most importantly, a subhuman? The rough-voiced bear subhuman smirked.
"Huh?" The feline made a confused sound.
However, Hausman is the leader of the three, so naturally he still has to listen to him.
"Miss? That should be considered a big sister, right? The Itachian chuckled and said, "Hmm~... It's quite big in every way, no wonder Haussman takes a fancy to it. ”
"What are you talking about? Joel. The feline rebuked the Itachian again, "Now is the time to get down to business." ”
"Don't worry." Hausman's eyes followed Xia Zuo and Long Ge's movements, "They're paying for things... It seems that I have brought a lot of them, and this time, I think I can replace them..."
From such a distance, where can you tell how much to bring?
The cat knows that Haussman is showing favoritism.
Now that the weight of Long Ge's spear has been solved, she has put the weapon on her back and moved freely.
Xia Zuo thought about solving another problem - backpack space.
He had always wondered how to increase the backpack bar, which was obviously not enough.
I just imagined it before, but now I look at the waist bags, arm bags, backpacks, storage bags hanging on one wall of the grocery store...
As before, will the inventory change if I swap out the current initial fanny pack?
