The candlesticks were unlit, dried candles, and the crimson moonlight shining through the cracks in the windows brought little light to the dimly lit room.

Roy sat quietly on the edge of the bed, looking out the window at the night scene, his heart full of flowing thoughts.

Choosing to have a certain degree of "confession" with Red is an essential thing, and although the talent of [Infinite Desire] is powerful, it is not so important compared to his real secret - [Original Sin Rubik's Cube].

How did he escape from the witch's hands that day, and suddenly regain his body as before, and even become stronger than before...... These all require a reasonable explanation.

And [Infinite Desire] solves this problem very well.

Men who awaken their natural abilities are rare to the extreme in the history of the empire, but they are not unprecedented.

If Roy wants to develop in the future, many things must be inseparable from Red, so it is essential to disclose some information to him in advance.

And judging from Red's performance tonight, compared to the imperial laws and temple taboos, what Red values more is the glory of the Turumbuel family and the safety of Roy as the son of the lord.

In fact, this is normal, in this world, the various lords and families are not so much the king's courtiers, but the independent small countries. It is true that the liege is required to pay regular taxes to the empire, but in reality, within the territory of the realm, the words of the lord are more effective than the laws of the empire.

This is an inevitable drawback after the implementation of the sealing system for a long time.

And the knights who serve the lord are essentially bound to this family, not to mention the lord's attendant knights, and the two sides can be said to be both prosperous and lossless.

"Going to the bottom" with Red, Roy can be said to have completed a heartfelt thing.

The next step is to focus on the people behind the scenes.

If you don't find out this guy, Roy will inevitably struggle if he wants to develop next, and it will be difficult for anyone to feel at ease when there is such an enemy who is bent on killing himself and has already taken action.

According to the speed of the Templars, it would take about two days to escort Roy to the Cathedral Temple in Rafah Province. And if the people behind the scenes have any means to target the Black Stone Collar, then these two days are the best time to act.

Of course, if the people behind the scenes are really so enduring, and they have to endure until Roy is burned at the stake in the temple before acting, then he can only wait.

But with a high probability it is impossible.

When it comes to the son of a lord, the temple has the right to take it down or even imprison him, but if he wants to be burned at the stake, there must be conclusive evidence and present it to the Imperial House.

Once it comes back and forth, it will take a long time, and it is not surprising that it will drag on for a year and a half.

Therefore, the timing of the people behind the scenes is likely to be in the near future.

Under the moonlight, Roy sighed.

The enemy is dark and I am clear, and the current Blackstone Collar is too lacking in an intelligence system, and he is simply a "blind man", so he can only make this decision.

At this point, Roy was ready to start condensing his vindictive spirit.

Even if the people behind the scenes surfaced, in the end, only he and Red, as well as the knights under his command, could make a move on the surface.

Templar Mira and his attendant knight Al, as the temple side, can help Roy "favoritism" is already a great favor, if the two of them make another move, it will be taboo.

The relationship between the temple and the empire is already delicate, and as the knights of divine punishment, Mira and the two need to pay more attention to their words and deeds.

Just as Roy was about to close his eyes and practice, suddenly, he felt the shadows of the room in the moonlight in front of him distort and float, and then, a slender figure gradually condensed and appeared in his eyes.

A long dress with a white base and purple embellishments, delicate skin, long snow-white hair, and a pair of eyes like reflected silver starlight, like an elf walking out of the snow.

- Ice Witch Ace.

She, what's coming?

A look of consternation appeared in Roy's eyes.

Before he could stand up, Ace, the Ice Witch who had appeared here, had already moved lightly to his side, and sniffed lightly with her beautiful nose.

"The breath of other witches ......"

The cold voice that couldn't hear emotions made Roy's heart tremble, and for some reason, he actually felt a sense of weakness.

But soon, Roy reacted.

What is his heart? What is there about him to be kind?

The relationship between him and the Ice Witch Ace is just a partnership!

Thinking like this, Roy's courage suddenly became sufficient, he looked at the ice and snow girl beside him, and said in a low voice: "You are really bold enough, the Divine Punishment Knight of the Temple has just left during the day, and how do you know that I am here?" ”

"I've heard from the residents that you've been captured by the Punishment Knights." Ace stated expressionlessly:

"Originally, I was going to go over at night to save you, but after nightfall, the positioning I made on you returned to the Black Stone Collar, so I came over to take a look first."

"......" After listening to Ace's words, Roy fell silent.

Although he was a little touched by Ace's willingness to attack the prisoner guard of the Divine Punishment Knight of the Temple in order to save him, what kind of thing are you doing on me?!

Even if he entered the state of concentration of perception of the breathing method, Roy did not notice anything wrong with him, obviously, the difference in strength between the two sides was too large, and the methods of the Ice Witch were not something he could detect now.

Can't beat it, it's no wonder it's no wonder, what can Roy do? What can be done?

He sighed helplessly: "This morning, the Templar came out of nowhere and told me that someone had provided sufficient evidence to the Cathedral Shrine in Rafah Province to prove that the Ice Witch was infesting the Blackstone Territory, and pointed out that Roy, the son of Lord Blackstone Leader, had colluded with the Ice Witch. ”

Ace's good-looking brows furrowed slightly, and she shook her head when she heard the meaning of Roy's words: "I didn't do it." ”

"Elena and I came to Blackstone Collar because we accidentally obtained a magical item called the Control Doll, which can be manipulated by implanting a mark in the target's heart. ”

"At that time, I was not far from losing control, and for the sake of Yelena's future, I decided to find a noble son who was easy to control, preferably the kind that could inherit the title immediately, so that it was convenient to hide."

"Four days ago, we intercepted a secret piece of information outside the Black Market, Lord Blackstone is missing, and the title is about to pass to his son, Roy Turumbel."

"Blackstone Territory is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is only a change of lordship, which causes very little movement, so it is our best choice."

"So after consulting with Yelena, I decided to choose you as my target."

"You know what happened after that."

"That's the cause and effect of everything."

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

After speaking, the Ice Witch's body disappeared directly into Roy's gaze, leaving only an extremely ordinary envelope and a cold voice:

"This is information that suddenly appeared on the black market at noon today."

Looking at the empty room, Roy pursed his lips and picked up the envelope to open it.

There was a piece of stationery in the envelope, as well as a photograph.

The content of the letter is very small, just a short line:

"Lord Blackstone's son, Roy Tulumbel, has a high-purity magic crystal on his body!"

The content of the photograph is a photograph of a person who is very similar to Roy on his side, holding a dark purple crystal in a corner of a building at night.

Because of the distance and angle of the shot, I couldn't see the side face of the figure clearly, but the outline of the building was exactly the same as the lord's mansion of the Black Stone Lord.

Looking at the contents of the letter and photos in front of him, a smile appeared on Roy's lips.

The fish hidden under the surface of the water finally couldn't help but take the bait.
