When Barred walked into Ilsutia's room on the fifteenth floor, Lucius was already sitting in his chair, looking completely decadent, Adeline sitting on the edge of the bed, and Ilsutia slammed the door behind Bared. "Well, here, you don't have to worry about our conversation being eavesdropped, so speak your mind. ”

Barred snorted and licked his lips. "How do you tell what floors this is? There's no staircase at all, it's just a winding walkway. ”

Ilsutia walked past Bared. "Is that what you're trying to ask?" and before the mercenary could reply, she walked over to her desk and patted it. "There's only one chair here, I'm afraid you'll have to sit here. ”

Barred shrugged and walked to the window. "I don't have to sit, it's good to stand. ”

Ilsutia sat down beside Adeline and gave her companion a faint look. "Adeline, I've been dragged into the water by you, you must have something to do, your ideas have always been better than mine. ”

Adeline clasped her hands together and placed them on her thighs. "But you've always had more ideas than I have, well, I have an idea, but it's not safe. ”

"A dangerous idea is better than no idea. Lucius sank into his chair and looked up and sniffed. "What kind of smell is this, I smelled it as soon as I came in, why is it so familiar?"

"You'll be familiar with that, of course, because it's a Dayton scented water, refined from the juice of roses mixed with weeds. Ilsutia was pleased with the smell of her room.

"The fragrant smell and the beauty are a perfect match. Lucius nodded approvingly. "I bet the man who walks into this room will be smitten by you. ”

"Really?" Ilsutia's gaze swept over Lucius and Bared. "So have you been smitten by me?"

Lucius raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. "I've been smitten by you, ma'am, but I'm engaged, so I'm just smitten, nothing will happen. ”

"Oh? That's a shame. Ilsutia looked at Bared. "And what about you, Mr. Knight?"

Barred turned his face to Adeline. "What was your idea?"

Adeline exhaled. "I was thinking, maybe Malosas wasn't sure you would tell Herrick what he was doing in that village. ”

"Is that going to happen?" Lucius asked rhetorically, "even if you're not sure, just in case." ”

"Listen to Adeline, Lucius!" Barred was impatient with Lucius's interjection.

Ilsutia looked at the two in surprise. "Are you really princes and knights, and how dare knights speak to princes like that?"

As soon as Barred opened his mouth, Lucius replied first, "That's not the point, Ilsutia, we have more important things now. ”

Adeline nodded. "I think you can go to Marosas tomorrow and tell him that you haven't revealed his scandals, but that you, Lucius, are also going to fund his research, because you think it can be used against the Dark Tide. ”

Lucius tilted his head in thought. "When you say that, I really want to fund him, it's better to let werewolves fight the Dark Tide than to let humans go. ”

"Don't be stupid, Lucius, you don't understand what that means!" Ilsutia said angrily, "The rise of werewolves will only put Wallis in double danger, they are not ghouls, werewolves are intelligent, not even worse than humans, they will definitely attack humans weaker than them first, rather than being the first to fight the Dark Tide." ”

Barred touched his chin. "Doesn't Marosas know this? He keeps saying that he wants to use werewolves against the Dark Tide. ”

Of course he does. "I guess he must think he can control the werewolves." ”

Or maybe his purpose wasn't to deal with the Dark Tide. Adeline added.

"What do you mean by that?" Barred leaned against the window with his hands crossed over his chest.

Adeline pursed her lips. "Maybe he was just trying to set himself up as a king and let the werewolves work for him. ”

Lucius spread his hands. "Whatever his purpose is, it doesn't matter what you said before, let's just treat him as his purpose to deal with Darktide, and then think about how to deal with him when we get back to Durham. ”

"Herrick would have dealt with him, and Marosas didn't know I was in that village at the time. Adeline tilted her head triumphantly.

"Oh...... Hell, hopefully Herrick doesn't reveal it, or Malosas will definitely think it's us. Lucius buried his face behind his palms.

"Don't worry, Herrick won't do it lightly, and when he does, it must be when Marosas has no way out. Adeline said confidently.

"Very well, so be it. Lucius nodded incessantly.

"Wait!" Barred snapped in. "Have you ever considered what to do if Marosas doesn't believe us?"

Adeline sighed. "That's right, that's the only problem. ”

"And the biggest problem. Barred then said, "That's what we're going to do." ”

"It's nothing to throw yourself into the net. Ilsutia looked at Barred with a smile. "In the Mage Tower, he doesn't dare to do anything to you. ”

Bared's gaze shifted to Lucius's face, who nodded, and the mercenary glanced out the window. "Well, there's no other way, it looks like I'll have to take a risk. ”

Lucius sat up straight in his chair. "Actually, we don't need to worry, Bared, according to Ilsutia that the Mager's Tower is safe, so even if Marosas doesn't believe us, we just need to go to Herrick and tell him that Marosas already knows that we have discovered his secret, and seek his protection, I am sure he will not refuse. ”

Barred glanced at Adeline, and the mage looked nervously at himself. "No, Lucius, we can't let Herrick know that Adeline lied. ”

"Again......" Lucius softened again, sinking into his chair.

"I'll do everything in my power to protect you. Adeline looked at the two of them and said seriously, "If Marosas doesn't believe you, Ilsutia and I will protect you!"

"I didn't say that!" Ilsuthia hurriedly dissociated. "If you want me to be my enemy of Marosas, I'd rather learn light magic. ”

"Please, Ilsutia, help me. Adeline actually relented, which Barred and Lucius didn't expect at all.

Ilsutia thought about it for a moment, then glanced at Barred meaningfully, which made Barred feel bad, and the girl leaned into Adeline's ear and whispered a few words, Adeline frowned, and finally nodded, and Ilsutia cocked her feet. "Well, I've promised to help Adeline protect you, but if you don't need it, it's even better. ”

Barred nervously walked over to Adeline. "What did she just tell you?"

"Did...... Didn't say anything. Adeline pursed her lips.

"I'll tell you to put it. Before Adeline could stop her, Ilsutia had already spoken, "I asked her to agree that I would compete with her for your escort, Bared. ”

Lucius stretched. "I thought what was going on, wasn't that a good thing, Bared?"

"What a fart, it's not you!" Barred yelled, angrily walked to the door, pulled the door open and walked out, nearly breaking the door.

"Aren't you afraid that you'll find out we're here, this idiot?" Lucius put his ear to the door and listened for a moment, reassuring himself when he was sure that no one was there.

Ilsutia looked at Lucius suspiciously. "Are you really a prince?"

"Nonsense! Do you want to follow me to Durham and show you something?" Lucius was unimpressed by Barrede's infatuation.

Ilsutia tilted her head at Lucius. "That's why it's boring to stay in the Mage Tower all the time, just go out for a walk, but you have to entertain me. ”

"That's up to you, ma'am. Lucius bowed to the two girls and walked out of the room.
