William and Tom stood side by side on the shores of the shrunken Lake of Namsion.

Behind them were two horses, one tall and one short.

"Lord Zorro, why are you here?" Tom had recovered from the shock and said to William with joy.

"What? Can't I come? William quipped with a laugh.

"No, Zorroda! I'm so glad you're here! It's just that I don't understand, how do you know I'm here? Tom shook his head like a rattle, lest William misunderstood him.

"Maybe that's how fate fits! I said goodbye to the king, went around and around, wandered around, and I didn't expect to come here and see you! William also looked like a "sigh" and said leisurely.

The meeting between the two was certainly not accidental, but intentional by William.

After much deliberation, he felt the need to insert himself into Tom's journey so that he could get the golden apple at the end.

So he chose this time and had a "chance encounter" with Tom!

Tom was excited when he heard William's words, but his eyes unconsciously looked at William's horse.

This is a habit that Tom unconsciously developed during his travels after he gained the ability to know animal language - to listen to what animals have to say.

People can lie and deceive, but animals don't!

Tom's eyes fell on William's black horse, the black horse's eyes were extremely human, he glanced at Tom disdainfully, turned the horse's head, and the horse's mouth "neighed".

To the average person, it was nothing more than the sound of a horse.

But to Tom, it was completely different.

"What's there to see? Along the way, how did you meet this guy? What are you going to tell the king when the time comes? ”

It was a disgruntled young man's voice.

Hearing this, Tom was completely relieved.

What a coincidence!

Tom couldn't believe it!

But the dark horse's "words" made Tom have to believe it!

At least, William wasn't stalking him on purpose.

That's enough for Tom to rest assured.

With a smile on his face, he said to William, "Yes, Lord Zorro, this must be the arrangement of the Lord of Light for us to meet here!" ”

William listened and laughed.

What Tom could understand, William could understand.

He had been on Tom's radar.

With the Magic Mirror on his side, William knew Tom's whereabouts so well that he didn't have to follow him all the time.

Since there was no tailgating, Tom naturally couldn't hear any useful information from the mouth of the dark horse.

But the neighing of the disgruntled horse of the dark horse caused Tom's horse to respond.

Tom's brown horse also neighed.

William's black horse raised its head, looked at the brown horse, and "neighed".

The horses given by the two kings, right under the noses of William and Tom, exchanged ideas.

Listening to their words, Tom's face suddenly changed, and William's eyes flashed with a strange light.

The brown horse said to the black horse, "Didn't you eat and drink well in the king's stables?" Why are you out too? ”

Dark Horse said, "Don't mention it! The king has given me to this man, and he wants me to supervise him well. When the time comes, return to the palace and report to him. What about you? ”

The brown horse bowed his head and said, "Me too." The king also asked me to supervise the new master, and to report to him if I returned to the palace! ”

The dark horse wondered and said, "Why?" ”

The brown horse looked up again and said, "Maybe the king suspects that my new master has some secrets?" Isn't that the case every time? As soon as the king suspects that there is something secret, he sends us out......"

The dark horse blinked, "Then did you discover any secrets?" ”

"Nope! What about you? Have you discovered any secrets of your master? The king has sent you out, and he values him very much, right? ”

The dark horse looked up proudly, "Of course! Nor do you see who the king sends? ”

"So what did you catch?"

"Nope!" The dark horse's voice became much quieter.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Listening to the two horses talking as if no one was around, Tom's face became more and more ugly, and his face showed a look of hesitation, and after a long hesitation, he finally made up his mind.

He tugged at William's sleeve.

William looked at him "pretending to be strange", "Is there something wrong?" Tom? ”

Humans can't understand animal speech, and just as animals can't understand human speech.

The only thing these animals can do is write down the images.

They can tell others that Tang and Wei are talking, but they can't tell what they are talking about.

Because they don't understand.

That's why Tom was able to talk to William with confidence.

He said solemnly to William, "Lord Zorro, you have given me a chance to be born again!" Without you, there would be no Tom now. I'm not going to do anything to hurt you under any circumstances. ”

"I know, Tom." William nodded "relieved".

"No, Lord Zorro, you don't know." Tom's voice was a few degrees higher.

"Oh, I don't know what? Tom, tell me about it. William still looked "indifferent", clearly distrusting Tom's words.

Tom was anxious, and he said, "Lord Zorro, I don't know what His Majesty wants you to do for him, but in fact, His Majesty has been spying on you!" ”

William shook his head and said "confidently", "Tom, no one can follow me without me being discovered!" ”

"What if it's not someone who is following you?"

"Tom, I don't understand what you mean? It's not a human being who is following me, is it the devil in hell? ”

"Nope! Zorro-sama! Look back! ”

"Back! There was no one behind me, only two horses! William "half-incredulously" followed Tom and turned around.

"Yes, Lord Zorro, you read that right, it is this horse that has been watching over you for His Majesty the King!" Tom's gaze fell on the two horses that the king had given them, and his tone was heavy.

"Are you kidding??" William was silent for a moment and asked.

"Lord Zorro, how dare I deceive you?" Tom was genuine.

He bit his lip with his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Lord Zorro, I have a skill, I can understand the words of animals......"

"Do you understand animals?" William frowned, looking at Tom with a look full of "doubt"!

"Yes, Lord Zorro! It's magical, I swear, it's true! His Majesty, like me, has the ability to understand the language of animals, so His Majesty knows many of the world's secrets. For the animal is his eyes and ears. ”

"Not only that, but His Majesty has also used this ability to train a group of animals to become his spies and help him discover other people's secrets."

"No one would hide their secrets in front of an animal that can't speak human words!"

"And the horses that His Majesty has given us are the animals he has trained! They will report our secrets to the king! ”

Tom said a lot in one go.

William was silent.

In the silence, Tom was a little uneasy.

Finally, William broke the silence and asked, "Is what you said true?" ”

"I swear by my soul, Lord Zorro, that if I lie, I will be sent to Hell and become the ration of the Seven Sovereigns of Hell." Tom immediately swore solemnly.

"Good! Then I believe in you, Tom. William smiled and said.

"Huh?" Now, it was Tom's turn to be surprised.

Tom looked at William, speechless for a long time.

William smiled faintly, "Tom, this world is very big, and there will be any thing and any ability!" You don't know what the hell I've been through? If you have my experience, you will maintain a nonchalant attitude towards many things! ”

"As for your abilities? It's from the king, right? William asked.

Tom nodded, then shook his head again, then nodded again.

William smiled, "Okay, it's good that you know!" In fact, I have always had a suspicion about the king's omniscience, and yours only confirms my suspicions! ”

"That's why I'm so simple to believe your words!"

"Tom, make good use of your abilities!" William suggested "kindly".

"Yes, Lord Zorro! Thank you! Tom was moved again.

William smiled faintly.

After a pause, William asked, "By the way, Tom, since you said these two horses were spies, what do you want to do with them?" ”

"Kill them!" Tom said categorically, "They can't be allowed to return to the king's palace on their own." ”

"Oh!"

"Lord Zorro, I'm going to go to the Duchy of Loria, and when I get there, I'll find an opportunity to kill this horse! What about you? Where are you going? ”

"Duchy of Loria? Since I have met him, then I will also go with you to the Duchy of Loria! ”

"That's great, Lord Zorro!" Tom said excitedly.
