Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Turning Gears

When he came out of Grand Duke Fisher's mansion, Lin Qiu met Vera again at the door of the candy store. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Like last time, she hurriedly took Lin Qiu's hand and led him all the way to the high platform of the square. The artist meticulously painted each statue, and the clowns were scattered throughout the square to rehearse the performance two days later.

When Lin Qiu sat here for the second time, he suddenly realized how dark the tide was surging under this calm scene-the red-haired woman who painted the statue was one of the three leaders of the Underground Knight Guild, her eyes occasionally glanced at the distribution of the garrison in the royal city, and nodded thoughtfully from time to time.

The shoulder armor of the guards responsible for maintaining order in the square was inlaid with the mark of red leaves, and they were dignified, a far cry from the indifference and ease they had seen at that time. From the guard's eyes, Lin Qiu could read that the young Grand Duke Edward seemed to be tempted by his suggestion. Only the knights belonging to Reinhardt looked a little tired and walked around the square in boredom.

At this point, three distinct forces had gathered here.

"Mistress Tyr, who was that friend of yours last time?"

Vera and his dialogue have also completely changed because of the appearance of Ben before. Last time, Vera kept her head down, dwelling on the fact that her hobby of eating fruit candy was discovered by the other maids.

"Ben-Don Quixote, like me, is a scientist. ”

"Really?"

Lin Qiu nodded noncommittally.

In the past few days, she had a lot of questions that she wanted to ask Lin Qiu, but she had to put them on hold because Lin Qiu disappeared early in the morning. This slightly embarrassing chance encounter also gave her the opportunity to be alone with Lin Qiu: "So what you said is also true that when that stone falls on the ground, Shakdam will be destroyed?"

In the past two days, as soon as she lay down in bed at night, what Lin Qiu said that afternoon kept hovering in her mind, so much so that the maids felt that she had been chattering recently. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't connect the fallen stone to the ruined kingdom.

Vera brushed off the icing and tossed a piece of fruit candy into her mouth - in short, all she had to do was eat a candy fruit.

"It's hard to explain, for if you know the end of Shakdam's destruction, anything else could be one of the causes of its destruction, and the falling stone is only one link in a series of causes and effects. ”

Lin Qiu pointed to the few young men wearing hoods and sneakily walking towards the wishing fountain.

Last time, through their strange behavior, Vera explained to him about the Trevi Fountain. And this time, he obviously saw it more "clearly". These people were not the unemployed young people who stayed at home and longed to be favored by Lady Luck, as Vera had guessed at that time, but members of the Underground Knights' Guild.

So they said that after throwing the maltose into the water, they made a wish: "O gods, if you can hear our wishes, please let this decaying kingdom disappear!"

The maltose thrown into the pool sank to the bottom of the water without accident, and the young men looked at each other and finally left disappointed.

"They may have been one of the reasons for Shakdam's destruction. ”

Lin Qiu's explanation was counterproductive, Vera found that she understood every word the other party said, and even felt that it made sense inexplicably, but when these theories were combined, she didn't know what Lin Qiu wanted to say at all.

Neither the stone nor the seemingly harmless youths could constitute the cause of Shakdam's destruction in her eyes.

But Vera didn't want such a kingdom to be destroyed, so she stubbornly pouted, "What about the Trevi Fountain? It can't be 'science', right?"

She deliberately accentuated the word "science" to express her dissatisfaction.

Lin Qiu amused as she watched Vera who ran to the edge of the Wishing Fountain with a menacing attitude, she clasped her hands together and said in a pious tone: "Lord God, if you can hear my wishes, please bless Shakdam not to destroy it!"

Fruit candy falls into the water.

This is the 130th wish she has made in front of the Trevi Fountain, and the previous 129 wishes have all ended in failure. Every time she failed, when she returned to the maid's quarters, she would mark it in her notebook, because Vera always believed that if she was religious, the gods would one day hear her wishes.

However, this time the wish was made by her and Lin Qiu.

She had no hope for it until a few minutes later, when the candy was still on the water. Vera felt like she had never been so happy, and she could now rightfully turn around and tell the knight who called himself a scientist that Shakdam would never fall!

But when she turned around, there was no other figure on the high platform.

"You seem to be in a good mood?"

Ben Don Quixote asked in surprise as he looked at the boy who had jumped off the platform. You know, he can't be happy at all, the rebellion is imminent, but he hasn't seen the teenager who claims to be cooperating with him for a few days: "What, the 'fire' you said has been planted?"

"One more than one missing. ”

The last one, and the most difficult to achieve. After a few days of research, he finally realized that the reason why it was easy for outsiders to break free from the shackles of the seal, while the natives were firmly under the control of Reinhardt - the core of Shakdam's establishment was undoubtedly Princess Rose, and the cornerstone of this kingdom must be the three major families that have been passed down from ancient times to the present.

Every detail of Princess Rose's dormitory should be imprinted in the depths of Reinhardt's mind, and even if he leaves any mark, it will be repaired by Reinhardt immediately.

"What do you need us to do?"

A long time ago, he had no idea of defeating Reinhardt, and even after being seriously injured after fighting Alyssa, the Knight King was still the strongest man in the kingdom. He is willing to try whenever there is any chance possible.

After all, in this dream realm of infinite reincarnation, he has countless opportunities to be "reborn".

At the beginning of his arrival in this kingdom, he was bent on completing the hundred-year mission alone, so that the people of the imperial capital would understand that he was the most genuine chief student of the Wind Furnace Academy. But now, he only wants to wake up from this nightmare that torments him all the time. And Lin Qiu gave him hope.

"I need 20 minutes, you guys hold him back as much as you can. ”

Although Lin Qiu didn't know if these 20 minutes were enough for him to find the flaws in this layer of dreams, he understood that 20 minutes was almost the limit of Ben Don Quixote. The last time he only held out the time he had to finish a story.

Ben muttered, "20 minutes......"

Even if Reinhardt didn't use the mark, the scorching black flame could tear his nicking force to shreds in an instant, and these 20 minutes would have been undoubtedly torturous for him. Eventually, Ben Don Quixote replied in a muffled voice: "Even if you fight everything in the Underground Knights' Guild, I will help you get these 20 minutes." ”
