Chapter 20: Statue of the Dragon-Slaying Hero
Ruby throws out a little game she learned from Clara, which immediately arouses the curiosity of many people.
"Truth or Dare, sounds like a lot of fun." The blond-haired boy seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes immediately lit up.
The other two at the table were still hesitating, but the others were already heckling and prodding them to agree.
Alfred ruled the army very strictly, and these guards did not have any bad intentions, they just wanted to play tricks on the beautiful and lovely little girl in front of them.
The other two at the table didn't hesitate anymore and said to Ruby, "Then don't regret it, little Charlene." ”
Ruby shrugged, "Who regrets it. ”
Instead of robbing the landlord, the first Ruby joins forces with another peasant to defeat the landlord, and the poor landlord is forced to choose between truth or dare.
He took the big risk, and Ruby just let him roll around the house a few times, but the other one was more ruthless, letting him learn to bark and make the other guards lean back and forth.
In the second, Ruby still didn't rob the landlord, but this one lost, she chose the truth, but the person who asked the question was like someone suddenly choked her neck, her face was flushed, but she couldn't spit out a word.
"Ask, ask." The people around him urged, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." ”
Sweat oozed from the man's forehead, and he finally opened his mouth, only to feel dry, "That, that...... I want to ask you...... What do you think of me...... My new boots, I just bought them in Black Rock last weekend. ”
"It's beautiful." Ruby blinked, "I swear to my lord Saturday that what I say is true. ”
The crowd erupted in boos again, clearly unhappy with someone who didn't have the guts.
And the man regretted it very much after saying it, and he wanted to slap himself. He secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must win once, so that he could take this opportunity to ask Charlene if she felt for him.
But soon he was caught, "Alright, it's my turn, it's my turn, Tucker, you've played three times in a row, it's time to take a break." ”
"No, I'm not tired, I can continue to play!" Tucker wailed as he was taken away by two of his colleagues.
In his place was the young man with blonde hair, "I'm Crowley, and they all call me Blonde." ”
Crowley introduced himself to Ruby as soon as he sat down.
But he was interrupted by the girl, "When you win me, you can order me to listen to your introduction." ”
"Just what I want." Crowley smiled lightly.
However, the blonde boy's luck was not very good, he didn't win three times in a row, and in the end his face was as dark as he was.
Once again, there was a cheerful atmosphere in the tower.
…………
Half an hour later, Ruby returned to the castle with the information she wanted.
She had vaguely guessed how Herodotus would complete the assassination, but there was a key point to be verified, but now the problem arose, no matter what excuse she used, it was not something she could get.
Ruby was thinking about a voice behind her, "I've been staring at you for a long time, what the hell are you looking for?" ”
Ruby was shocked when she heard this, but remained unmoved on the surface.
She turned around and saw the figure on the other side of the hallway.
The man was about the same height as her, wearing a dark green cloak, standing in a place where the sun could not shine, and the whole person exuded an uncomfortable coldness.
Ruby took a step towards him, and the man immediately took a vigilant step back, as a small gray-brown head poked out of his cloak and stared at Ruby together.
"I know you, you're the Greta who can control rats."
"I'm not a person from the Shuangxiu Sect, and the reason why I am doing things for Merlin now is just working to pay off my debts." Greta frowned and handed the mouse on her shoulder a small piece of rusk.
"I'm not a bad person," Ruby said, "and this is not the place to talk...... Let's go upstairs and I'll explain it to you. ”

However, Greta remained motionless, "I don't believe it...... Humans, you are always scheming. ”
"I don't expect you to believe me, I just want you to give me a chance to explain." Ruby said sincerely, "The banquet is about to begin, and we are running out of time. ”
"We?"
Ruby didn't want to talk about that kind of thing here, but Greta didn't give her a choice at all, but most of the people were in the banquet hall on the second floor, and there was no one in the hallway at this time.
So Ruby decided to make a long story short, "The Prophet sent you here to protect Miss Yin Leia." And I just investigated and found out that the people of the Blood Moon Society are likely to do something to Miss Yin Leiya. ”
Ruby thought that this news would surprise the girl opposite, but she didn't expect the latter to be expressionless, "Are you talking about the Humpty Dumpty man of the Welch family?" ”
"How do you know?" Ruby didn't expect that what she had so hard found out would be found out by Greta a long time ago.
"Humans are always so arrogant that they will unconsciously despise other creatures in this land." Greta broke another small piece of rusk, this time putting it in her mouth.
Hearing her say this, Ruby was not as affected as before, and smiled.
"Those rat friends of yours are indeed very powerful, but you still don't know how the Blood Moon Society assassinated Miss Yin Leia through the Welch family."
This time Greta was silent, and after a moment she looked up and said, "How do you know?" ”
"It's very simple, if you have the evidence that he is going to assassinate, you should have handed over to Miss Yin Leia by now."
Greta couldn't retort, "My rats will find out." ”
"But now the feast is about to begin."
Greta was a little reluctant, but in the end she had to say, "You have proof?" ”
"Well, or more accurately, I at least know where the evidence is, but I can't verify it alone."
"I'll verify." Greta said.
"Are you planning to join forces with me?" Ruby blinked, "You see, human beings are not as useless as you say, and the prophet Merlin said that it is through common beliefs that people are united by each other and form organizations that they can do what individuals cannot do." ”
"Whatever." Greta was a little impatient, "Where the hell is your evidence?" ”
Ruby didn't sell it anymore, "The Welch family gave Miss Yin Leia that gift. ”
"The statue of the dragon-slaying hero?" Greta frowned again.
