"Yes, we're looking into it. Catherine did not hide it, and replied directly: "This matter is related to another more important event, no less important than the disaster of the return of the dead a hundred years ago, the specific situation is still in the stage of secrecy due to the fear of causing panic among the people, only the high-level of the various forces understand, I think if nothing else, you should have heard about the content from His Majesty Farral." ”

"You mean someone wants to ......" Nicholas didn't say it explicitly, just pointed in the direction of the sighing desert, and subconsciously lowered his voice and said: "I always thought it was just a few guild leaders who were too sensitive, is it true? Is anyone really going to do this? Are they crazy, and it won't do them any good to release those things." ”

"From our standpoint, they're really crazy. Catherine smiled bitterly: "But don't forget, they are fundamentally different from us, even those who are like us, and the things they study are fundamentally different from ours." ”

"Whew, I see. Nicholas exhaled heavily and made a solemn gesture, as for how true it is, I'm afraid no one knows it except himself: "If the two are related, it is really the most important thing, no wonder my father ordered to cooperate with several major guilds to block the scene at the first time." My father is my father, he thinks farther than me, and his sense of touch is much sharper than mine, and I still suspect that the guild leaders are sensitive, so my father has begun to respond, and it seems that I still have a lot to learn. ”

Freya opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, just curled the corners of her mouth and showed a subtle smile, as if she thought Nicholas's reaction was amused. However, although she didn't say a word, she still attracted Nicholas's attention, and asked Catherine, "This lady has not been seen before, may I ask her ......?"

"Freya. A student of Master Christo. "Freya's round body is very well-made, although the body shape and clothing are very inconsistent, but if you only look at the demeanor and movements, it is as decent as an elegant lady. The beautiful princess introduced herself in her usual voice that could enchant people with her tone alone: "There is another secret identity. Daughter of Odin, princess of the Holy Capital. ”

"It turned out to be you. Nicholas suddenly realized that as a demigod with great power, Odin's information was no stranger to every force, and everyone knew that he had a young daughter. It's just that the whereabouts of this princess have always been a mystery, he didn't expect Freya to reveal her identity without concealment, although he didn't understand Freya's purpose, but Nicholas still said with a straight face: "Don't worry, I will never reveal this secret, except for my father, of course." ”

"Nothing, I don't really mind anymore. Freya said nonchalantly, "Of course, that's not the point, the point is that I want to tell you something." You see. Your side has already sent out the gold-level bodyguard, leaving only you and your teacher, which means that there are no outsiders on your side, and on our side, although except for the eldest sister, none of them are from the Middle Ages and nobles, and they are not as good as yours, and some are not even human beings at all, but even so, there are at least four of the seven people. I know you and my eldest sister very well about what you just did, including your final performance, and I know very well what the purpose is. ”

"Five. Lina snapped the book in her hand and closed it with impatience and disgust on her face. In a childish but cold tone, he said: "I'm Isabella, I can see a group of such people every day, basically as soon as they open their mouths, I can even guess their cries when they were born, it's really annoying." ”

"Well, that's five. As for the other two, you can just pretend that they don't exist. Freya half-hid her lips and chuckled: "Of course, it is not ruled out that you are just pretending to deliberately use this kind of performance that is easy to see to hide your true side, but we don't care about this, and we are not qualified to care, because it has nothing to do with us." So, what I want to say is that I don't force His Royal Highness to put away his disguise, but try to be more direct and less irrelevant etiquette, just like Mr. Moore said just now, the time is not early, we are on the road for two days in a row, and now I don't want to waste too much time on irrelevant trivial matters, can Your Highness? ”

"Freya. Catherine looked at Freya's round eyes with reproachful eyes, shook her head, and said, "It's rude to talk like this, His Highness Nicholas is not what you think, I hope you can apologize to Your Highness." ”

"As you wish. Freya stood up and cursed her knees slightly, and apologized with ladylike etiquette: "I'm really sorry, Your Highness, although I am the daughter of Odin, after all, there is no long inheritance of nobles, and there is still a great lack of etiquette, sometimes it will seem rude to speak, if there is anything offensive to you, I hope you will not be surprised." ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. Nicholas kept a smile as usual and said: "Actually, what Master Freya said is very right, I emphasized too much about irrelevant things, ignoring everyone's exhaustion, and I should be the one who apologizes." So, let's hurry up and get down to business, the four major guilds have put forward the hope that we can cooperate with a few people to investigate, and the empire will naturally attach the highest importance to it, so I hope you can tell me directly what you need our empire to do?"

"It's hard to say right now. Catherine shook her head and said, "We need to go to the site first and investigate, and then it depends on the situation." If nothing else, you need to visit the nearby villages and towns to learn more about the whereabouts of outsiders during this time. What needs your assistance from Your Highness is to ask the people to cooperate with our inquiries as much as possible and answer them as soon as possible. In addition, if it is possible to knowingly provide assistance to the other party, once identified, the Imperial side needs to take measures. ”

"It's not that hard in theory. Nicholas habitually groped his fingers for the table, pondering: "However, it is inevitable that local officials deliberately concealed some key information in order to cover up their mistakes. This problem cannot be left unguarded, and it is necessary to prepare in advance. ”

"Such an important thing. Vivien didn't fall into a state of distraction, and when she heard all the conversations, her eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "With a major matter related to all the intelligent beings in the entire Yala world, there are still people who dare to deliberately conceal important information in order to cover up their mistakes?

"That's for later, and it's only a possibility, maybe we'll be spared. Pannis patted Vivien's head behind her back and whispered in her ear: "But if you don't hide the information, you will definitely be punished, not only will you lose your position, but you may even endanger your life, property and even your family." Therefore, compared with the possibility of the future, they are more willing to choose to avoid the immediate risks and pursue the immediate interests, as for the future, it is better to wait for later, even if there is really a big risk, anyway, there are strong people in front. ”

"Oh, that's funny. Vivien's expression changed, and finally settled into a mocking smile: "Is this the habit of human aristocrats? ”

"It's not just the aristocracy, many people will be like this, it's just that the nobles have more eye-catching performances because they have power. Pannis turned to Eva and said affirmatively to the indifferent girl: "This is one of the weaknesses of human nature, of course, only some people, there are still many people who can overcome this weakness." ”

Of course, Nicholas didn't know that Pannis was helping Eva better see his goal of understanding human nature, but Pannis's inexplicable words didn't make him care too much, just groped around the table and said for a while: " In this way, my original plan was to return to the imperial capital after this place is over, and then transfer from the imperial capital to the border area, but since you came so quickly, then I won't go back to the imperial capital, and go directly to the border area with you, with me staring at them, even if they want to hide it, I can find the problem in time, and I still have this confidence. ”

"By the way, you can also get close to a few Legendary-level professionals. Pannis leaned on Eva's ear and explained for the girl who seemed to understand: "Although it is for the whole world, but he actively cooperates like this, Catherine and the others will feel that they owe him a favor, plus he follows us all the way and deliberately closes the relationship, and everyone's hearts will inevitably be biased towards the Farrar Empire in the future." Of course, you may not get anything by doing this, and with the background of the Farrar Empire, you may not need everyone's help, but if you really encounter a situation that is needed, for the sake of his cooperation this time, Catherine will probably help. ”

"In other words, is it equivalent to him exchanging a thing he originally intended to do for the assistance of several Legendary-level professionals?" After a few months of getting along, Eva already had a general understanding of the status of Legendary-level professionals in the Yarra Continent, so she also whispered in Pannis's ear: "Actually, he didn't do anything extra, right." ”

"That's right. Pannis nodded and said: "Lina mentioned the wisdom of the nobles outside just now, in fact, this is the wisdom of the real nobles, sometimes they only need to change the same thing to another word, they can achieve completely different effects, in order to exchange the least price for the greatest benefit." ”

"It's not very easy to understand. Eva said expressionlessly: "However, I remember, I will do my best to analyze." (To be continued.) )
