Kiara was talking to herself, and Roman seemed to have finally regained her affection, and she turned back and asked, "What are you talking about, Chiara, I know that woman, a bad woman." β
"That's for you and that guy," Kiara smiled, "Although it is not ruled out that the prime minister of the empire and his daughter are not on good terms, but this possibility is very small, it can be seen from the arrogance and paranoia of that woman, a daughter who is not favored by her father, can not do that step, hum!" She snorted softly, obviously not impressed by the prime minister's daughter, but Roman hadn't asked her where she had seen the prime minister's daughter, who quickly skipped the topic and stared at Pori. Anvil continued, "It seems more likely to me that this guy is most likely a moleβ"
Chiara stared at poor Mr. Pori with a feline prey look, her beautiful sapphire eyes full of danger: "In other words, Chancellor Nedwin may not be the traitor, but this traitor is at least not far from the upper echelons of the Empireβ"
Pori. The anvil trembled, he originally thought that the other party was just a wayward aristocratic lady who lost her temper, and as long as she took her own breath, she would let herself go; And about the matter of the prime minister's daughter, he didn't even dare to say a word, thinking that he would be able to escape in this way, but he didn't expect that he only guessed half right, this eldest lady really doesn't like to talk about anything with her subordinates, but she has a shrewdness beyond her due age, he obviously didn't say a word, but the other party has already guessed a ** not far from ten.
Pori. Anvil began to feel that he had chosen to do the wrong thing at the wrong time, and he looked at Chiara as if he had seen the legendary devils under Hell who had seen people's hearts.
"Why do you say that, Chiara?" Roman asked.
"It's not easy, what are the people of Gaugendegan doing with a prime minister's daughter, if their target is the prime minister of the empire, then they will never make a move against the woman of Delphien, although the young prime minister is not as good as his father, but he will not betray the empire for the sake of a daughter, on the contrary, doing so will only anger him." Chiara replied with some disdain, as if these intrigues seemed to her as if they were written in an open book, and there were no secrets to speak of: "So knowing that this will anger the Prime Minister of the Empire, but still doing this, who would have such thoughts, this person must be the enemy of Little Nedwin, maybe it is just revenge, or maybe it is to make the Prime Minister of the Empire wrong." β
"However, no matter which one it is, ordinary people will not make enemies with the prime minister, and even if they do, they will not have the ability to retaliate, and those who can do this will at least have the same identity and status as the prime minister of the empire-"
"Because only conflicts of interest breed hatred, is that a lowly nobleman, or a small workshop owner who toils all day long for his livelihood, will never intersect with the prime minister of the empire?" Roman replied with the logic of a peculiar businessman.
"This is a good analogy, in fact, there are only a few such people in the empire, but a few dukes, the captains of several major legions, the leaders of the local nobles, or the high-ranking of the Temple of Fire." Kiara nodded.
The elf listened in a fog, she looked at the demon slayer spear stuck in the ogre's mouth, thought about it, pulled it out of it with some disgust, and rubbed it in the grass nearby, trying to wipe the blood away.
Chiara raised her eyebrows, as if she had found a new suspicion: "There is something more interesting here, this guy is mixed with the goblins, and he has something to do with Jogendigan," she poked the dwarf's big nose again with her magic wand and said: "It is more likely that the person who is connected with Gegendegang is not him, but the big man behind him, this is interesting, there are people in the upper echelons of the empire who betrayed the empire, no wonder the invasion of Jogendegang can be so just right, and the situation above the surface can be so clear." β
"Say no more, you demon!" Pori. The anvil is like an earthy color.
"Dare you shut me up, it seems that you still don't understand your situation," replied Chiara viciously, but when she suddenly saw the dwarf's pleading expression, she changed her mind again: "Well, for your pity's sake, it's okay if I don't say it, but in exchange, you have to tell me what you plan to do with that woman in Delphien?" She has a grudge against that guy, but she happened to appear in this place at this time, you shouldn't tell me that it's a coincidence, right? β
"It's Count Freud," replied the dwarf in a trembling voice, "his son Ehrman died because of the Eruin, but he thinks that it was Miss Delphien who instigated his son to avenge Faina, and therefore she is also responsible for it, and he deliberately lent Miss Delphine the Demon Slayer in the hope that she would die with the Eruin." β
"What's the Demon Slayer Gun?" Roman asked.
"It's a family heirloom weapon of the Freud family, and I've heard that it has the power of a sub-artifact."
"Ah, then Brando he's going to be fine, right?" Miss Merchant's was startled.
"Peace of mind, that guy's life is so big, even the demon can't kill him, and there must be nothing he can do with the demon slayer gun." Chiara replied disdainfully, and she stepped on the dwarf on her toes: "Count Freud wants the prime minister's daughter to die with that guy, what, is it possible that the demon slayer gun still has the function of self-detonation, Miss Ben rarely reads, don't lie to me." β
Pori. Anvil shuddered: "Miss Delphien was supposed to wait for that Eruin to arrive in the imperial capital, and my task is mainly to persuade her to come to this place, and then find an opportunity to expose her to the people of Jogandigan......"
"How did you persuade you? Sue her that guy won't go to the imperial capital at all, because he is leading these cavemen, just to find trouble with the Empire, he will fight all the way to Rusteta, and even if he can't fight, he will return to Eruin, you tell her that Eruin and Jorgandegan Digan have formed an alliance with Torquinen, right? Let me think about it, that guy has a team of caveman guards under him, so the scam doesn't make sense. β
Chiara tapped her wand and analyzed it word by word. The anvil seemed to have heard something incredible, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wider, for what the former said was exactly what they had planned.
"But there is still a question, why did the Earl of Freud know so well that the Gergandigans would be here?"
"Because he's a traitor?" The elf interjected in a daze.
Poor Pori. The anvil seemed to have just thought of this, and he couldn't help but look at Chiara pleadingly, hoping that the latter would be a little stupid, or even a moment of confusion.
Unfortunately, Chiara apparently dashed his hopes, and the latter shook his head confidently: "If Count Freud is a traitor, how can he offend the Prime Minister of the Empire for such a trivial matter, isn't this self-exposure, this guy has a dishonest mouth, and in my opinion the most likely thing is that Count Freud is also kept in the dark, he is just being used." β
She looked at Pori with some amusement. Mr. Anvil: "I can't tell, you're still a multi-faceted spy." This man not only wants to deal with the prime minister of the empire, but also makes the Earl of Freud bear the blame for him, and he seems to be a big man, can you tell the employer behind you who he is? β
The dwarf trembled with fear, but he didn't dare say a word.
"You must think that you don't say a word, and I, a soft-hearted little girl, don't dare to do anything to you, right?" Kiara got angry: "Well, I really won't kill you, but now that I know so much, I can claim that you sued me, you see, you can't sue your master, these are all guesses I guessed out of thin air, right?" β
"You can't do that, I didn't tell you anything, you can't lie, you devil!" Poor Pori. Mr. Anvil shouted.
Shannie whispered to the elf, "This is really a kind-hearted little girl......
Both of them quietly shuddered.
"You can't stop me from saying this, just as I can't force you to speak," said Kiara to the dwarf, "but if you sue me for the cause, I can let you go, and no one knows you're alive in this war, is it?" β
The dwarf gasped, but still did not dare to speak.
"Hmph, it seems that the person behind it makes you feel very scared, even afraid that even if you are incognito from now on, he can find out where you are, this person must have unimaginable power, so that although you didn't speak, the number of people we can suspect has been further reduced, but only two or three people." Kiara saw the dwarf's look for only a moment, as if reading the message from the other's frightened eyes.
"Kill me, you devil." Pori. Anvil shouted weakly, "You might as well kill me." β
"I won't kill you, I'm a lady, but sometimes I think it's better that I'm not an elegant noble lady, so that I can cast some spells on you, and there are very few secrets that people can keep."
Roman seemed to think of something suddenly, and said, "Chiara, it seems that I can also use spells like that." β
Chiara was slightly stunned, she said that it was just empty words to intimidate the poor old dwarf, but she didn't expect that someone around her would use this spell to see the future, that is the category of astrology, and to spy on people's hearts, that is the realm of black magic, she glanced at Roman in surprise, in fact, she had some guesses about the identity of the other party in her heart, she was very curious and said to Miss Merchant: "Do you want to try it, I haven't seen a spell like that." β
"I'm not sure," Roman replied with great interest, "because this is a dangerous spell, and there is an unknown danger to both the caster and the recipient, so I haven't tried it either, and it may have limited effect, or it may turn people into drooling idiots, so let's try it." β
"I beg you, two venerable human misses, even for the sake of your own body, since this is a dangerous spell, I think we should avoid this danger!" The thought of turning into a drooling idiot, Pori. The anvil finally couldn't hold back its wail.
"That's not going to work," said Kiara, shaking her head dissatisfiedly, "how can you shrink in front of the truth if you are not afraid of hardships and dangers." β
Roman nodded vigorously, feeling that this little girl really spoke to her heart, and curiosity and fun were more important than danger.
"Prepare to cast a spell, Miss Roman," said Kiara, looking at the dwarf solemnly, "knowledge and truth will remember your contributions, Mr. Dwarf, and will I have the honor of knowing your name before then?" β
Poor Pori. Mr. Anvil finally broke down and couldn't help but howl like a child: "Damn it, don't turn me into an idiot, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you." β
"That's not going to work!" Roman said anxiously, as if he was afraid of losing the opportunity to cast this spell, but this time Kiara stopped Miss Merchant, the dwarf was about to be scared to death by them, she pointed at the tip of the other party's nose with her magic wand: "It's really useless, such a big person still cries his nose, let's say, who is the person behind you." β
The dwarf snorted and tearfully replied, "Damn, woo-woo, I don't know who it is, but I know the guy who contacted me, his name is Freeman, and he is from the Royal Archaeological Society." β
"Who's that?" Roman asked.
"Freeman. Lylis, my brother told me about this man, he is the vice president of the Royal Archaeological Society of Cruz, from the Leilis family, have you heard of this family, it is a member of the Cecil faction. β
Roman sat on a mossy rock, knee-sidelong, round scalp boots on a piece of rotten wood, elbows on his thighs supporting his chin, and his eyes sparkling at Chiara - meaning she didn't understand anything.
But Chiara was not less interested: "The Cecil family is the noble family closest to the Flame Temple in the Empire, he is from this faction, that is to say, he is connected to the Temple, but it is absolutely impossible for the Flame Temple to collude with Qiao Gendegang, the other party's choice of this connector is very interesting, this person is probably a chess piece they specially selected, in order to muddy the waters." β
"Does that mean we can't know who's behind us?" Shanny asked, leaning on the elf's head, and the latter had already heard it in a fog, and squatted on the ground to count the ants, but fortunately there were all kinds of colorful insects in the forest for her to identify.
"Did he calculate on you?" Chiara looked at Miss Pseudo-Dragon curiously.
ββ¦β¦ Not really, but in your human terms, when we put ourselves in the shoes of such a great conspiracy, doesn't it seem a little more immersive for me to say that? Shanny spread her paws and replied.
"That's true, it's a fun game," Kiara's eyes lit up, "But Lady Senny, you're wrong about one thing, although the clue is broken here, but in other words, it also contains other information, and the person who designed this qiΔ even didn't hesitate to implicate the Temple of Fire, at least two things mean that either he is not afraid of the Temple of Fire, or he is a fool who is fearless." But if a fool can do this, I will have to admit that I am a fool, so there is only one possibility. β
"Maybe you're guessing wrong, that person may be a high-level spy placed inside the Fire Temple by the Earth Temple." Shannie asked deliberately with her paw on her cheek, as if she liked the reasoning game.
"First, I can't guess wrong, second, why can't I guess wrong, because if that person is a spy inside the Flame Temple, there will always be suspicions in any spy, it's just that there is a difference between more and less, the only way for this kind of person not to be discovered is not to make himself suspicious, but to minimize the attention of others, so what he should do is not to let anyone doubt himself, but now he has done this, so when we think it's him, the answer may be in the same direction as us."
After listening to this, Miss Pseudo-Dragon was convinced for the first time by a human being, and to her great surprise, this human was only a little girl about ten years old from the outside, and she could not even speak in a childlike tone.
Chiara poked the already depressed dwarf with her wand, "Since these goblins can recognize you, you must have one of the joints among the Georgantiganes." β
"It's Lady Shagoth." Pori. The anvil replied weakly.
"Who's that?"
"An underground lizardman, I only know her name, but she should know my stake."
"Does that mean she knows your mission, or at least that you're in this place for some reason?"
The dwarf's face changed: "You, what do you want to do." β
"If you don't do anything, you can take a break." With a smug smile, Chiara turned around and secretly raised her hand to give Roman a light high-five.
"Don't you have to cast that spell?" Roman asked curiously, holding his bag.
"Not for now," Kiara shook her head, "but you really know that spell?" β
"It's a little bit, but the so-called voyeurism is just to know a person's current feelings, for example, whether you are angry or happy, this spell can reveal your true feelings, so that the caster can empathize with it." Roman thought for a moment, and replied earnestly and quietly.
"This is the realm of black magic, can this spell really turn people into idiots?" Kiara asked.
Roman glanced at the dwarf, "No amount of spell can turn a fool into a fool again, Chiara. β
Kiara agreed: "I think so too. β
