Most people like surprises and hate scares. So do I.

But the scene in front of him is really like a child doing something bad and causing people to hit him right. This kind of horror is not only about being bumped into, but also about worrying about the next series of troubles. After all, I'm not the kind of guy who casually takes someone's life and doesn't care.

I stared at the dark figure sitting in my chair, not sure if it was a person or an object, but it scared me. At the moment of stalemate, I felt that this thing was supposed to be alive, and although he was motionless, I could still feel the energy and sensation of the living thing.

"Who are you?" I picked up my sword and prepared to attack. The other side is still not moving, which is very embarrassing.

In this dark environment, he didn't move, and I didn't dare to move. But since you can't walk over and talk slowly, then don't blame me for being rude!

I raised my sword and slashed at him, and I used this sword with all my strength, and although it would not kill him directly, it was completely possible for this sword to cut his chest. He finally moved! He rolled to the side and rolled to the ground. Sure enough, it's a living one!

With a swing of my sword, the sword I held in my left hand slashed down towards the place where he was tumbling. Judging his position and movements by his feelings and the sound coming from the other side. I had to swing my sword faster and faster. Although you can't slash indiscriminately in a dark environment, when the enemy's location is determined, the first hand always has the upper hand, and the latter guy is more likely to be hacked to death.

"Click!" My sword is blocked. "Stop! Stop it! Shouting from the other side.

It's impossible to stop, and his sword may stab me as soon as I stop in front of me, so I'm not stupid. I didn't bother to go on the offensive.

"Bill! Stop it! "He still knows my name? But I'm not going to stop.

"I'm Ralph! Stop the! He shouted.

Hearing this, I jerked my sword back. "Fart!" I cursed.

"The lone wolf sent me!" He said.

It seemed to be his voice, and I took two steps back.

"You'd better put on some light." I say. "The sword has no eyes."

"I didn't expect you to hold a grudge." He said.

Hearing this, I lowered my sword. "Are you sick in the head?" I say.

"I just fucking arrived." He said.

"Then you'd better hurry up and light the lamp!" I received a sword in its sheath.

He took out the flint and lit the fire primer, lighting the candle that had been extinguished for an unknown amount of time, and the light reflected Ralph's old face that I hated and liked a little.

"It's really you." I say.

"Of course it's me." He said. "You almost hacked me to death."

"You're so good at it, I almost hacked you to death."

"Hmph, you're quite alert." He looked at me and put the sword in his sheath and said.

"It's all because you don't turn on the lights." I say.

"Of course, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, you did the right thing." He said. I remember this being the first time he complimented me.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"Send me with you."

"Lone wolf?"

"Hmm."

"I didn't expect us to have the opportunity to work together...... What exactly did he tell you to do? ”

"Look at Fred."

"Hmph, I'm afraid it's not just Fred." I pouted and looked at him.

He didn't have much expression on his face. He looked at me and said. "How's your progress?"

"I just arrived." I say. "You've just arrived?"

"Yes. Shortly after I came in. ”

"You came in through the door?"

"No, it's the window." He gave a thumbs up and pointed to the window behind him.

"You crawled in from the front?"

"Yes."

"Who told you?"

"A messenger of Ravenhold, I don't know him."

"He told you about the house? And tell you how to get in? "I couldn't believe it.

"Yes."

"Who gave this order?"

"It should be a lone wolf."

"Do you know how he told me to come in?"

"Aren't you like me?"

"If it were the same, I wouldn't be so angry. Why didn't you just tell me? Is this trying to make things difficult for me? ”

Ralph pouted and said, "I don't think it's necessary. ”

"Why don't you turn on the lights?"

"I told you, as soon as I came in, I heard you coming down from upstairs."

"Why don't you run?"

"I'm here to help you."

"What if it's not me?"

"I remember your smell."

"Are you complimenting me?"

"Sort of"

"You've been living at Alyssa's until now?"

"Yes. Well, she mentioned you. ”

"Did you mention it or did you mention it often?"

"Huh, you have thoughts about her?"

"Nope."

"That's for the best."

"Why!"

"You still have thoughts about her." Ralph regained his old stinky face.

"I didn't."

"Hmph, come on. What do you think in your heart, do you think others can't see it? Unless anything doesn't happen, as long as it happens, there must be traces. And as long as you want to track it down, you will definitely find something. ”

"What do you want to say?"

"You'd better stay away from that woman."

"It's already far away."

"I'm talking ideologically."

"How did you know I had other thoughts about her?"

"You can spend a few spring breezes with her."

I was surprised, and even more strange. "What do you mean?"

"She didn't give you any memories on your lap?"

"You know a lot."

"That's kind of bad. I thought you were just a rookie before. ”

"What did she tell you?"

"She didn't say anything, you said it."

"Can you speak straight if you have something to say?" I don't like to talk around the bend in a word.

"You've been like this many times before, and you're just one of them."

I gave him a disgusted look.

"You didn't resist the temptation." He said.

"Of course not. I've always had a normal orientation and I'm in good health. When did she leave a love scar on your thigh as well? I scoffed.

"Of course not."

"Come on, can you withstand this temptation in the prime of life? I don't believe it. ”

"I'm not interested in women." He said.

I squinted at him. "I hope it's a pleasure to work with." I say.

After waiting in Lordaeron for nearly a week, the pair of little mandarin ducks finally arrived belatedly.

"Why is there a woman?" We stood in the crowd watching Fred's guards slowly pass through the city, Ralph asked.

"The second daughter of the Presto family. I forgot what it was called. ”

"The prince's bed is so good to sleep on." Ralph pouted.

"Beware of falling out of bed, too." I say.

Fred went straight into the palace to meet King Minethil, expecting him to stay in the palace until the evening, but he came out after a while. It seems that the king did not want to give a banquet to the two children.

The courtyard of Alterac's embassy in Lordaeron was large, and the soldiers who accompanied him were placed in a house outside the embassy villa. There are only four personal bathrooms left on the first floor of the villa. Ralph was watching outside the embassy, and I crawled inside. When it comes to eavesdropping on the intimate affairs of the royal family, I always do it myself.

As an assassin trained by Ravenhod, it was not difficult to get into the embassy, there were not many people in the embassy, and it was easy to bypass a few servants inside. I walked around the four-story villa with relative ease, and I also figured out the room where the prince lived.

The ambassador was receiving Fred, and I took the opportunity to sneak into the ambassador's office. The ambassador's office is very bright, and the suite in the office is the room where he lives. I don't know what the title of this ambassador to Lordaeron is, but the décor of his office is very ornate, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is very luxurious.

That's interesting. If you dig up some clues, whether it is corruption or perverted law, whether it is personal or involves some people's little secrets, it is very valuable. While rummaging through the cabinets in my bedroom looking for documents or belongings, the distinguished ambassador walked into the office.

Finding a place to hide or a way to escape before entering the house is the first priority. In the bedroom, there were cabinets, curtains, and a bed that could be seen at a glance in addition to a window that could not be opened. It's hard to hide from the bedroom, but for me, if there is really nowhere to hide, I can become his shadow and follow him. It's like following Alyssa.

Hiding behind the door for the time being, ready to turn into a shadow, I kept an eye on everything going on outside. Fortunately, the ambassador did not come to the back room.

A few minutes later, another one came in the ambassador's office.

"Ambassador Salter, when is Francis coming?" The voice is young.

"Tomorrow at the latest, Your Highness."

"What's been going on with that Minahir guy lately?"

"Not yet, but Francis seems to have something going on these days."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He just came to see the king a few days ago."

"What do you know?"

"Oriden has canonized the Barov family on behalf of the king. However, Francis has always been obsessed with the Barov family's property in Lordaeron. ”

"What did he say?"

"He wants King Minethil to rule for him and take back Brill's land and estate."

"What did the king say?"

"I don't know about this, I'll know when Francis comes."

"What's the reaction to my father's illness?"

"I haven't said anything yet, but at this time, His Royal Highness the Prince has to fight for it." The ambassador said. "The attitude of Duke Nikolai Szverenhoff is important. Even more important than King Minehir's. Lord Raymond George is very close to the Barov family's domain, and you may want to pay him a visit. ”

I kept repeating these names in my mind.

"This year's Winter Veil Festival, King Minahir is going to have a huge carnival, and all the major dukes and lords will come at that time." The ambassador continued.

"Then I'll have to prepare a gift in advance." Fred said.

"I've already prepared some for Your Highness. Some are antiques dug up deep in the mountains of Gilneys, and some are treasures from the kingdom of Kul Tiras. For Duke Nicholas, I have prepared a great gift for His Highness. ”

There was a rustling sound outside.

"What is this?"

"Duke Nicholas will definitely like this treasure very much."

"What is this?"

"It is said that this is a thing left over from antiquity, with the power of the gods of the ancients, and Duke Nicholas, as a great polymath, will be happier to have this rare thing than to give him ten thousand acres of fertile land."

"Wouldn't it be better to give it directly to the king?"

"No, no, Minethil is the king of Lundanelen, and Duke Nicholas is the most important person to feed Minethil." The ambassador closed the chest.

"Francis is just a villain. Your Highness should be more careful when cooperating with him! The ambassador said meaningfully.
