Roland's lips moved slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything.

At this point, Esther is already aware of the end of the story.

"Eventually, the hunter fell, fell into the trap he had set up, and died."

Esther had a surprisingly dry smile on his face like a barbed wire: "Well, isn't it an interesting story?" ”

“…… Ah, indeed. ”

For a moment, Roland didn't know how to respond.

This style of story is far from Roland's impression of Esther.

There is no doubt that this story must have meant a lot to Esther.

But what makes Roland a little unclear is, who is Esther?

Is it a hunter? Or a dog? Or the rich man?

Esther took a few deep breaths and smiled warmly again, "Alright, it's time for you to uncover the mystery." I'm looking forward to it. ”

“…… No, my story isn't as interesting as yours. ”

Roland shrugged his shoulders and said very sincerely.

"Probably not. You name it. ”

Esther replied with a chuckle.

Tilting his head, recalling for a moment what he had just said, Roland continued: "The dog ran home and handed the silver to the hunter. ”

"But, the hunter was very angry—"

"'I told you to keep an eye on the cart, and you came back with a silver coin!' ”

Speaking of this, Roland paused:

So the hunter killed the dog.

The atmosphere froze for a few seconds, and then Esther burst out laughing.

"Hehehaha...... Aha

At first, Esther just chuckled as usual, but soon his laughter was completely out of control. It turned into an almost hysterical laugh.

In that laughter is sadness that doesn't match Esther's character. Just listening to Esther's laughter, Roland felt his heart be tightly bound by the dry wire. Beating in an oppressive rhythm, the epidermis is cut by wire. Oozed coagulated blood.

The affection was so sincere that Roland wondered if he had been deceived by Esther. Perhaps the sadness that Esther is showing now is just Esther's lie.

But just when Roland's heart was almost so sure, he suddenly realized that maybe Esther had indeed revealed his true feelings before. And now he just deliberately continued to show his true feelings, wanting the suspicious Roland to doubt his previous guesses......

And he did. Roland couldn't tell whether Esther's previous emotions were true or false for a while.

For a moment, Roland suddenly remembered the story of the wolf.

If a liar is not known to anyone, then he is a successful liar; If a liar is known by many, then he is a failed liar because anyone would be wary of him.

And if the world knows that someone is a big liar. This scammer is more likely to succeed in deceiving people.

If you don't want to be deceived when dealing with a liar, you must never believe anything about him - and the incomparable conviction that "he is a liar" itself violates this rule.

A subtle feeling of being educated by his predecessors made Roland laugh too.

"What a funny joke......"

After about another half minute, it wasn't until Esther's laughter grew dry that he stopped and repeated, "What a funny ending." ”

"Interesting?"

"Unusually interesting. I'm almost excited. ”

"So......"

Roland tilted his face and laughed casually with Esther, a complicated smile on his face.

"Robert, he's a joke."

――――――

“…… In simple terms, it is. Because all the witnesses committed suicide, and no confession from Orlando was obtained no matter how interrogated, it was deadlocked. ”

Naxi looked around. He lowered his voice and explained to Robert: "The only crime that can be determined of Orlando is that he mutilated a young girl. But homicide in the White Tower is not a very serious crime, only one person was killed. No matter how serious the situation, it is nothing more than a sentence of hanging. Unless it is a particularly large-scale killing, the stake will be burned...... After all, a soul that has been burned at the stake will continue to suffer after death. ”

…… The man who was killed by Orlando. It's Herlan.

Hearing this, the dark anger in Robert's heart suddenly rose.

No evidence?

No kidding – everyone knows about Orlando's crimes. What difference does it make if there is no conclusive evidence?

If Robert is not mistaken, it may be because the top brass took money from Orlando.

Robert does know a few ways. It is possible to resurrect the dead.

Don't say anything else...... Lady Anville alone, she has some kind of way to resurrect the dead. And legend has it that Su Ze also has an alchemy that can extract the memories of the dead, and there is also a ghost lord in the Northern Wilderness who can transform the dead into self-aware spirits.

Perhaps, Orlando is thinking of resurrection after death, so that he will be hanged, so as to keep his whole body?

Scold......

Robert would never let Orlando get his way.

Not to mention hanging, Orlando even burned at the stake could not satisfy Robert.

Even if the soul is ignited, it suffers after death. Orlando still has the possibility of a resurrection from the dead.

Crucifixion will not work either.

It was just that Orlando's soul was nailed to the land, unable to return to the kingdom of the gods. The possibility of Orlando being resurrected is still unavoidable.

If you want to eradicate this possibility, you can only inject silver.

The souls that have been poured silver to death are too heavy to be resurrected as ghosts, nor can they ascend to heaven and return to the kingdom of the gods.

No, it's not enough to inject silver into your veins. There is a question of quantity to consider.

Perhaps the amount of mercury that killed Orlando was not enough to make his soul mercury, so Orlando's body had to be completely submerged with mercury and buried deep into the ground along with the coffin.

In this way, Orlando's soul will be frozen in a coffin forever and buried in the ground. Even if Orlando's coffin was discovered decades later by people from the underground race, his soul was completely solidified and could only be used as material for enchanted equipment.

Only in this way can we make up for the pain that Herland's death caused to Robert.

Thinking of this, the anger in Robert's heart subsided slightly.

"Thanks, Naxi. I owe you once. ”

After Robert and Naxi thanked him, they immediately ran somewhere.

It doesn't matter even if you reveal your identity. The identity of the prince of Titan can somewhat give him a little say in the White Tower.

Anyway, Orlando died in the end, and if Orlando's death sentence was suddenly turned into a silver injection, he would have no ability to resist.

There's no way the White Tower can admit that he has a deal with Orlando in front of everyone.

Robert, who never does what he does, acts for the first time with the impulse that springs up in his heart.

For the first time in his life, Robert somewhat understood his father's way of doing things.

…… To be honest, this feeling that you can do whatever you want is not bad.

A transparent impulse that had never been felt before gradually ignited in Robert's heart. (To be continued.) )
