Chapter 23: Questions

The night is slightly cool.

Robin wrapped his clothes tightly.

After leaving the Grand Duke's Manor, Robin led Gail towards the temple area.

He got a lot of information tonight.

However, in the end, he didn't immediately agree to Matilda's request for an alliance, he had to think about some other questions and put the information together to come up with a real answer.

"Lord Robin." Gail followed him closely behind him and asked softly, "Do you really believe her?" ”

"Nope." Robin shook his head.

"There are so many doubts. How did Mattida know about Raven teaching me a magic lesson? And the fantasy world we entered tonight was originally set by Raven 300 years ago. But if Matilda had just passed by, as she had said, she wouldn't have noticed anything about the illusion being altered.

In other words, it was a premeditated thing for her to send the Blue Lagoon Knight into the illusion. β€œ

"Hmm." Gail pondered Robin's words and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Or Lord Robin, you are smart, I almost believed what Matilda said."

In fact, she has done a good job, and if the average person does not study it carefully, they will definitely be infected by her poor situation and the tragic family past.

However, the reason she later gave was too far-fetched, and it was the excuse she used to avoid going to Calista. β€œ

Yes, judging from Robin's relationship with Calista during this time, although the divine envoy has reined in his edge, he is not a toothless tiger.

On the contrary, he always felt that the strength of the Divine Envoy was not only in Haoyue City.

If he were Calista, he wouldn't let his guard down for a second in his life, because she had a heavy responsibility and carried the future of the entire temple and the country.

As long as you are alive, you have to maintain your wolf nature, so that the enemy will not be bullied.

"But the truth of what she said cannot be ruled out." Robin continued, "For example, the things she told about changing the illusion, which only Raven could have done in the whole of Itney, and then the death of her grandmother and mother, which was a clear conspiracy, and the fact that she was subject to His Majesty's restrictions at every turn, I believe these are true. ”

Gail was a little confused by him.

"You just said that you had a lot of doubts, and now you say that her words are true, so what is it?"

"I think it's because Mattida knows that lies can't deceive people, and that only a little bit of truth in the truth, or something partially true, can make people believe it, and thus lead them to the path she wants."

Robin thought carefully and sorted out the doubts one by one.

"First of all, she knows exactly what happened tonight and prepares in advance, I think it's someone who has her in the temple."

Robin recalled tonight's events and suddenly became a little scared.

Because the only people present were Raven, him, Gail, andβ€”

Grand Arce.

He had to get himself and Gale out first.

The rest are Raven and Arce.

"I have a few guesses right now." Robin paused and let out a hot breath.

Gail also stopped, looking up at him with wide eyes.

"The first case, everything that happened tonight, was actually a scene between Raven and Matilda."

"Huh?" Gail had a slight look of surprise on his face.

"But there's no reason, how could Raven-sama ......" Gail was a little startled by Robin's words, before Matilda said that Raven approached Robin for the king's sake, and now Robin told her that Raven might be Matilda's man.

"It's possible." Robin's eyes were clouded with a layer of fog, and although he didn't want to say it, he had to have a reasonable explanation for his previous suspicions, "If Raven is Mattida's man, it makes sense." Raven caused the illusionary chaos tonight, and Mattida arrived just in time to save us, and pushed Raven into His Majesty's side, thus distancing himself from Raven.

Under normal circumstances, if two people are facing each other, it is difficult for us to move their relationship closer to that of an ally.

Therefore, after Raven was branded as a person of His Majesty, if he did not jump out of the thinking trap, he could only think in the direction given by Matilda. This is to sacrifice my trust in Raven in exchange for an alliance with Matilda. β€œ

Yes, Robin took a deep breath.

This is the essence of werewolf killing.

Werewolves kill teammates and gain trust.

This trick is often more effective than a werewolf huddle to survive to the end.

"That's horrible." Gail looked at Robin in disbelief, "Grand Duke Mattida, is it really a child who is less than ten years old?" ”

"Hehe......" Robin laughed softly, "you're not the only one who thinks so, I'm also surprised by how scheming she is. But then again, isn't that what kind of grand duke is still alive? ”

It's all about survival.

Forced to be strong.

Calista was the same with him.

It's no wonder that Kaye and Jeeki had previously said that fighting at home was no easier than the assassination outside.

If he is not the chosen one, then a simple fight, and death is death.

But if he takes one wrong step now, he risks the destruction of the temple and the destruction of the future of the kingdom.

Robin had to be cautious.

Choose your teammates carefully.

Choose your enemies carefully.

However, he felt a little warmth and comfort that at least the oracle was something to rely on.

What happened tonight, he'd have to ask Calista when he gets back.

"And what about the other possibilities?" Gale pressed on.

"Second, as Mattida said, Raven is His Majesty's man, and she created this chaos and put us in danger, then what Mattida said tonight is true."

Except for one point -

This would be tantamount to pushing the Grand Arce into Matilda's camp.

Only Arce is Matilda's person who can notify her at the first time, and let the Grand Duke of Twilight Collar bring the Blue Lagoon Knight to the rescue.

But Robin didn't say the rest of the story.

In terms of identity, Raven is not from the Temple, and she has enough freedom and power to make choices.

The Magical Guild can even be called a tool of the kingdom, and as long as it is beneficial to the kingdom, any decision Raven makes Robin can understand.

And Arce is a member of the temple, she is Calista's personal bodyguard, and if something goes wrong with her, then it means that the head of the oracle is always hanging on the blade.

As long as one day Matilda gains power, then Calista's life is on the line.

He himself is at stake.

Even if it is not life-threatening, I am afraid that it can only become a caged bird.

"Of course, there is one last case." Robin took a deep breath, only to feel a little dry and his hands and feet cold.

I don't know if it's the weather or what.

Gail watched him silently, waiting for Robin's answer.

"The third situation is that there is a terrible mage in Haoyue City, the kind that can rival Raven. That's why she's able to change the illusion and cause confusion, which puts me in danger, and then blames Raven. ”

Robin pondered for a moment, then continued, "But, at least this mage needs to have contact with Archduke Matilda so that she can arrive in the first place and rescue us." ”

After listening to his words, Gail understood a little, but also a little afraid.

None of these three situations are good for Robin.

If he had a choice, he would like to be the third.

At least Raven taught him a little.

Although this guy didn't teach any magic.

"Lord Robin, look."

It was at this moment that a purple light swept through the air as Gail's voice rang out.

Itney's most powerful magister in the Bright Moon City Magic Association, the one who saved the temple and saved Bright Moon City from the destruction of Sirius-

Raven landed steadily in front of the two.
