Seeing Tom's appearance, and the irrepressible ecstasy in his eyes as he looked at the ducks beside the stream, William could not have guessed that Tom was eavesdropping on the animals' conversations.

William stood still, his heart growing more and more eager for this ability.

It wasn't long before Tom stepped away and was about to rush to the duck.

As he took a few steps, the remnants of his sanity brought him to a halt.

He glanced back at William, opened his mouth, and tried to speak several times, but could not utter a complete word.

William couldn't help but smile in his heart, but he pretended to have a puzzled expression on his face, and asked, "Tom, seeing you like this, did you find anything?" ”

"Yes...... It's not ......," Tom admitted and denied!

"Is it or isn't it? Tom, be brave, and if you find something, you speak up! No one will blame you at this time! Only you can save yourself! William said "encouragingly."

"Okay, Mr. Zorro!" Tom was touched to see William think so much about himself!

He didn't want to deceive William, but he didn't dare to tell William the truth.

Tom is in a dilemma.

One stupid thing is enough, and William can't see his problem when he looks at Tom like this.

He shook his head in his heart and said again.

"Tom, I see you're looking at these ducks? Do you think these ducks are thieves? What a funny joke! Are you trying to use this joke to ease your nerves? I have to say, it's a good idea. ”

"Don't you think so? Do you really think these ducks are thieves! Oh, my God! Tom, don't do that! Don't let setbacks knock you down! ”

"Well, unless the ducks eat the Queen's ring!"

William looked at Tom's silence all the time, chattering endlessly, and at the end he slapped his forehead, a little self-defeating.

William's last words inspired Tom, and his eyes lit up, and he didn't know how to demonstrate, and a thought came to his mind.

As soon as William had finished speaking, Tom continued his words.

"Why isn't that so, Lord Zorro?" Tom had excitement in his eyes as he looked at William, "You think, if a duck accidentally swallows Her Highness's most cherished ring, and no one or animal finds it, and then it swaggers away like a well-fed gentleman, walking on the water that lies flat like a mirror, and comes to another place." ”

"Nobody knows this!" Tom looked at William, "But under your sharp gaze, Lord Zorro, all secret loopholes will be discovered by you. ”

"Are you serious? Tom! There are so many ducks here! And it doesn't have to be swallowed by a duck! At this time, it was William who came to persuade Tom.

"Of course, Lord Zorro! You said that one cannot give up disappointment! Tom excitedly grabbed William's hand and said.

Although William could shake off Tom's hand with a slight flick, William only smiled faintly and let Tom hold his hand.

"You're right! Tom, go ahead and do what you want. I'm behind you! ”

"Thank you, Lord Zorro! I don't know you well, but you helped me so much! Thank you! Tom bowed to William.

"Go ahead!" William waved his hand with a "kind smile"!

Tom wiped the corners of his reddened eyes, then jerked around and walked over to the ducks.

Tom got closer and closer.

The ducks, who had been quietly whispering, also stirred.

When Tom was within the safety line of the ducks' hearts, the ducks could no longer sit still, and one by one they stood up vigorously, strode away from the two duck legs, and were about to run towards the brook.

When Tom saw this, he waved his hands, and the man ran, and with a quick eye he grabbed one of the fat ducks in his hand.

When the fat duck arrived, Tom was overjoyed, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, frowned, looked around, and caught another duck.

Tom grabbed two ducks and came to William.

William smiled and asked, "Tom, is this the duck you think might have eaten the queen's emerald ring?" Don't catch them just because they're fatter. ”

Tom was a little embarrassed and said, "No, Lord Zorro...... I am...... I am...... I saw them moving slowly, yes, they were slow, I thought, after eating the queen's ring, they must be a little uncomfortable, yes, there are uncomfortable, and these two ducks are the two slowest movements I just saw, so I think it's most likely them. ”

Tom stammered a little at first, but then he was so smooth that he seemed to believe it himself.

For such a naïve reason, William actually nodded in a matter-of-fact manner, "What you said makes a lot of sense." Then pet the duck's belly and see if there is a ring? ”

William's nod made Tom secretly relieved, and when he heard William say this, he smiled and said, "Lord Zorro, how can you still feel what you eat in your stomach?" ”

"What then?"

William's appearance made Tom's heart very useful, and he said proudly, "Lord Zorro, you come with me, I'll let the people in the kitchen take care of it!" ”

William nodded, and followed Tom.

The two of them came to the smoky kitchen.

A fat old man with a face covered in red pox is directing others to work in the kitchen.

When he saw Tom coming with two ducks, he let out a roaring laugh, "Tom, is this your last supper?" ”

"Shut up! Otherwise, old Mike, I'll shove one duck into your mouth above you, and the other into your hole!" ”

"Alright! All right! Whatever a dead man says carries the most weight! What you say is what it is? The fat old man, known as Old Mike, smiled and gloated.

Tom glared at Old Mac viciously.

Old Mike still doesn't look like he's restrained.

Tom couldn't do anything about him, so he turned his head and whispered to William, "This is Old Mack, the King's cook." ”

"Hmmm! William nodded, indicating that he understood.

Tom then walked up to Old Michael with two ducks, and "Slaughter these two fat ducks!" One of them is for you! ”

In fact, these ducks are the property of the king.

But if someone like Tom wants to, it's not impossible, as long as the king is paid enough money.

What Tom meant by this was that he was going to buy the two ducks and give them to Old Mack, and that one of them would be paid off.

Old Mack's smiling eyes were only slitted, and he took the two ducks, checked them separately, and said, "This guy has been eating himself so hard that he has been waiting to go into the oven." ”

"This guy has lost a little weight, but it doesn't matter, it still tastes good when baked!"

As he spoke, Old Michael cut off the heads of the two ducks, and then began to gut the two ducks.

The leaner duck was quick to handle, but when dealing with the fatter duck, Old Mack unexpectedly showed something hard when he was gutting the insides.

Old Michael took it out, washed it, and saw that it was a ring encrusted with a huge emerald.

"Lord of Light, this is the Queen's Ring!"
