Chapter 64: My Special Ring
"Welcome home, beautiful Lady Olena!"
The two people who were stunned in the palace because of King Arthur's powerful momentum have also returned to their home in Zelas at this time, although the two also lived together before, but one lived on the first floor and the other on the second floor, which is rare in the world of the Feren Continent.
After all, the world is still very open to the concept of surnames, of course, most of them are between nobles, and the life between them is very erosive.
So like Olena and Winterlock, two people have lived in the same house for seven years, but they haven't crossed the last bottom line, even on Earth, it's rare!
In order to welcome Olena back, Winterlock, who has always been too lazy to clean the room, cleaned the entire house for the first time, and it can even be said that it is spotless.
"Bang!" Olena sat down on the couch with a leap of speed, "It's better to be comfortable in your own home! ”
"Ahem~How can it?" Winterlock stood respectfully next to Olena like a waiter, with a flattering look.
"Winterlock, I'm hungry!" Olina, who was sitting there, originally wanted to tell Winterlock what happened in the dungeon, because Winterlock was the person she trusted in the world, and she would not lie to anyone, but she unexpectedly found that at some point, Winterlock was holding a piece of paper with a line of text written on it, "Don't say anything." ”
The two of them had lived together for seven years, and although they hadn't broken through the last line of defense, they had already had a good idea, and when Olena saw the paper, she knew that Winterlock meant that there were watchers nearby, so she swallowed back the words she had just said, and said I'm hungry.
"But you're not at home, there's no firewood at home, and I'm eating in the restaurant outside these days!"
"What?" Olena was angry at that time! She slapped the coffee table, which made Winterlock's eardrums numb, and the coffee table was obviously a little shaky, "Can chopping some firewood tire you to death?"
But if you look at Olena's face, you will find that she has no interest in being angry, her whole face is full of smiles, obviously it is very hard to hold back her smile, naturally everything just now was instructed by Winterlock to do it, and Olena is also very talented in acting, although her expression is not very good, and then she shouted, "What about the bonus that Her Majesty gave you?
Obviously, he is using the convenience of acting to plunder Winterlock's assets!
Now Winterlock has really become a bitter gourd face, and the money hasn't been covered in his hands yet, once it's really given to Olena, it's probably a meat-filled bun to attack the wandering wild dogs, and he definitely can't pick it up if he throws it out!
But at this time, in order to cooperate with the acting, he could only grit his teeth and take out a bag of gold coins from his arms and throw them on the coffee table.
"It seems that the Queen is very satisfied with your work!"
"That's right, I'm a direct detective of the British royal family, so naturally I want to satisfy Her Majesty!" But having said that, Winterlock's expression of pain showed the entanglement in his heart.
"Well, for the sake of the money," Olena waved her hand domineeringly, "we're going out to eat today and celebrate my escape!"
It is a very remote restaurant in the main city of Zemmas, the service is average, and the food is not very delicious, but the advantage is that the price is cheap and not very far from his home, which in Winterlock's opinion, choosing this place is very in line with Olena's surname, and it will not arouse the suspicion of others!
In the box, facing a table full of dishes, Olena couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"What's wrong?" Winterlock rarely saw Olena have such an expression.
Olena shook her head, "When I was trapped in the dungeon, I almost starved to death, and at that time I thought, I will never be a picky eater again in this life, so I specially ordered this plate of purple cabbage salad, but I only realize now that I still hate this purple cabbage salad!
Winterlock naturally held Olyna's hand, a rare expression of tenderness for a middle-aged man in his thirties, "It's good to be back, and in the future, it will be according to the convention, you love to eat delicious, you eat, you don't like to eat unpalatable, I will eat it." ”
Olena's eyes were a little red, "Forget it." Saying that, Olena poured herself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, obviously unwilling to think about this unforgettable but not very happy event, "What's wrong with the family?
Winterlock also poured himself a large glass of wine, and drank it in a squeak, "During your absence, the Royal Alchemy Laboratory has researched a eavesdropping magic array similar to that invented by Don Quixote, but it is pure alchemy, even if it is you, it is impossible to detect a trace of magic fluctuations!"
"And that's not the most terrible thing," said Winterlock, who poured himself another glass of wine as if he was thirsty, and drank it all in one gulp!" "The most powerful thing about this alchemical product is that it can transmit the sound of its environment to a receiver a certain distance away in real time, just like communication magic, and unfortunately, we happen to have one installed in our home, just under the coffee table in the living room!"
"Listening to us?" Olena chuckled inwardly, the expression on her face a little subtle, "How do you know this?"
Winterlock seemed to be a little drunk at this point, and leaned his head in front of Olena and whispered, " Although the alchemists who study this eavesdropper are monitored all the time, but the methods of the alchemist, even if they are mages and knights, it is impossible to know all of them, and especially those mage masters, what they look down on the most is alchemy, and those who don't understand alchemy, if we want, can communicate under his nose, just like this eavesdropper, it is completely made in a physical way, without any spell fluctuations!"
"This news is what my friend KGB told me, he is the person in charge of this alchemy program, of course, he secretly sent this news just a little unconvinced Don Quixote, so show off with me, let me judge whose design is better or something, said that I must have a chance to have a discussion with that Don Quixote, in the end he still admires Don Quixote's whimsical thinking. ”
"When we came back today, I just found out as soon as I entered the house that our home had been patronized by others, and you know my skills, even if there is even the slightest trace in the house, don't try to escape my eyes!"
Olena glared at Winterlock's mouth indignantly at the smell of wine and turned his head aside, "Then how are you sure you were bugged and not a thief or something?"
"It's because he's too careful, he's too clean, he's definitely a professional stealer, and it's worth doing it to us, I don't think I can think of anyone else but our suspicious Queen! I've heard of the relics of the Goddess of Time, but I've heard about it a long time ago, and the Goddess of Time is one of the most favorite treasures of all true gods, especially the shining gold coins and the like! Obviously, the Queen suspects that you are not telling the truth about what you are doing in the ruins, after all, it is such a huge wealth that even the royal family will not be tempted!
"Do you think I'm telling the truth?" Under the influence of Don Quixote's spell, Olena said this sentence with confidence, even if Arthur Pan Lide was in front of her, she would only believe that she was telling the truth!
But Winterlock smiled slightly, "The story is well told, and the conciseness of the language makes there are almost no loopholes, but that letter is a failure! I know that this guy is definitely a bit obsessive-compulsive, and he wants everything to go in the direction he envisioned, if you two die in the ruins, won't he miscalculate, it doesn't fit his surname!"
"So he's going to definitely move you straight to the teleportation array and put the letter on you. But then you two must have woken up and left the place as soon as you wanted, not after that, four days have passed since we contacted us, and the only explanation is that you lied!"
----------------------------I'm the dividing line
"That's what happened!"
Olena slowly told Winterlock what was really happening in the dungeon, and when Winterlock heard the Time Keeper blow himself up, even if this woman was still in front of him, he broke out in a cold sweat!
He knew that if it weren't for Don Quixote, he might really have to lose the woman in front of him. And it's really like Master Mack said, life is always full of unknowns, and it's useless to think too far ahead!
"Finally we escaped, and he gave me the letter when he was leaving, and to tell the truth, it really scared me at the time! He was too bold to provoke the Queen. "Normal," Winterlock drank the wine in his glass again, "there is nothing that can restrain him from a person like him, except for absolute strength, not to mention that he is still a lich, I think even the queen, if she knew that he was a lich, she would not be willing to clash with him, after all, the lich is too difficult to deal with! As for the queen's surveillance, I think she is only suspicious, after all, she has not really seen Don Quixote, even if she has the ability to understand people's hearts, it is useless!"
"Also, you must keep the lich's affairs secret, this favor we owe him is too great! As for the huge wealth you mentioned, I am afraid we will not be able to use it for a long time, otherwise there will be no way to explain the source of this money!"
"What? Olena looked disappointed, so isn't my dream of a rich woman bankrupt?"
Winterlock habitually touched Olena's head, "Don't think so far ahead!"
"Hmph!" Hearing this, Olena seemed to think of something, and snorted coldly, of course, humming Winterlock's damn excuse!
However, at this moment, Winterlock took Olena's hand with a drunken face, his eyes were hazy, as if he would be drunk in the next moment, and finally he said the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time through the strength of wine!
"Marry me!"
"What?" Olena didn't seem to hear clearly, but the excitement on her face that couldn't be concealed revealed her mood at this time!
"Marry me!"
"Bang!" the plate of purple cabbage salad was buckled on Winterlock's face, and in such a desperate environment in the dungeon, Olena did not shed a single tear, but at this moment she cried, laughed and cried!
"Although the old lady has been waiting for your words for seven years, what is it to propose to the old lady in the restaurant? Shouldn't it be in the flowers? You should be half-kneeling!"
"Also, what about the engagement ring? What about my special engagement ring?"
was splashed with salad dressing, Winterlock seemed to be sober, and his face was aggrieved, "My money is all with you, what can I use to buy a ring?"
