"You did what I said, and your wish came true. ”

Slais's expression was indifferent, as if he had forgotten the blade of the sword in front of his throat, only to see his gaze sweep over Putirai beside Tails, and nodded thoughtfully: "Congratulations on getting out of prison - and you, Your Excellency the Deputy Envoy, I don't know ...... you came to visit this time." ”

Shreis knew that the thin man in front of him was a key figure in the Star Mission.

Just talk to him......

But Putirai didn't say a word, his expression was indifferent, and he just waited quietly for their prince's words.

Tails smiled, "Alright, Lord Marquis." ”

"Look no further at Putirai - I'm the one who came to talk to you about business today. ”

Shrees paused, and he looked at Tails in a daze, his eyes constantly changing.

Even when he first met the prince, he didn't have such an expression.

"So," said Slais, who seemed to regain his previous demeanor and manners from the sudden attack, cleared his throat and smiled, "why would you put yourself in danger again?"

He took a deep breath, glanced at the blade of the sword around his neck, thought about the current situation, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Although it is not very friendly to say this, but ......"

"I have a dedicated regular contact, and according to the plan, once they lose my news, the first option is usually to inform the Grand Duke of Rumba. ”

Nicolai frowned.

I saw that the Bermudan Marquis of Comas turned to Tails, showed a bitter expression, and sighed: "Look, you are taking a risk. ”

"Yes," Tails nodded, waving his hand at Nicollet and motioning for him to step back, "So, I'm here to find you at the risk of exposing myself." ”

"Just like a few hours ago, you took the risk to pick me up in person. Tails stared:

"Lord Marquis. ”

The Comas man gave a helpless expression.

"I understand your feelings, this is a sad journey," Srice sighed helplessly, "You finally got out of trouble, you are depressed, and you want to get some interest back......"

"Nope. ”

Tails interrupted him.

"I have limited time," the second prince said lightly, "so I'll make a long story short." ”

Srice was slightly stunned.

The second prince took a step forward and climbed onto a stool in front of his desk, trying to keep his eyes on level with the hostage Shles: "First, when you came to pick me up before, you told me: If I give up returning to Valhalla, you can send me out of the city quietly, or even back to the stars. ”

Slais rolled his eyes and smiled politely.

"That's a decision you made behind Rumba's back. Tails whispered.

"So, you are a partner of Rumba, but you are not his subordinate, do not obey his orders, and do not have to be loyal to him. ”

"Otherwise," Tails curled the corners of his mouth, "why didn't he send his elite soldiers to protect you?"

Marquis Srice nodded with a friendly expression, as if courteous and thoughtful.

"I see. ”

"You want me to betray my relationship with the Grand Duke of Rumba and help you?" the marquis thought for a moment, and said calmly: "This is not a small request, if he ...... it"

Tails shook his head.

"Your pact with the Rumba has been completed," the prince stared at his face earnestly, "King Nun is dead - the spirit of the contract, remember?"

The Marquis's eyes moved slightly.

"I want to make a deal with you, Lord Marquis," said the prince softly, "the business is naturally a win-win—the cost is certainly paid. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the room was quiet for a moment.

The corners of Shrees's mouth curled up, and a gleam appeared in his eyes:

"Business?"

He pondered for a few seconds, then raised his head, ignoring the fact that he was being held hostage, and smiled brightly: "What do you want?"

Tails also smiled:

"I need intelligence,"

"Intelligence, uh-huh," Shreis nodded, thoughtful, "Since it's business, what are you going to exchange it for?"

Information.

Exchange.

Tails took a breath and suddenly remembered Cavendire's vineyard and that bloody night.

It's not been a long time, but it feels like it's far away.

He came back to his senses and smiled at the well-behaved Slys: "Don't worry, my price is very fair, you will definitely make money." ”

Srice bowed his head slightly, his eyes shining, "Oh? I'm looking forward to it." ”

"I'll use a more important piece of information," Tails said solemnly, with a grim face, "in exchange for your information." ”

Slais blinked: "So it's ......"

The next second.

"My information is," Tails exhaled, inexplicably remembering the old man named Chris, the butler of the Blood Clan's rival, and then looked into Slais's eyes, "Your little life is in our hands." ”

The prince smiled: "Is this information enough?"

Slyth's face froze.

One second.

Two seconds.

Slais exhaled and shrugged, "I thought you really wanted to do business with me, not ......"

"I'm thinking about it," Tails still smiled, "It's a good business." ”

Srice sighed under his breath, but his words did not budge.

"That's not how business works," the Marquis narrowed his eyes, as if he wasn't worried, "you've already messed with Exeter, and you're not going to be able to protect yourself, and Commath is willing to lend a hand, such as quietly sending you out of the country—as ...... before."

Tails' face froze.

"King Nunn is dead," he said coldly, "and these men who have sworn to defend him to the death have had to endure the humiliation of the white blade. ”

"As an accomplice, should you be held responsible?"

Slais's words paused.

He looked at Tails suspiciously.

"These people?" His Excellency the Marquis narrowed his eyes: "Humiliation of the White Blade?"

Nicolas stepped forward coldly.

"You don't seem to realize your situation," the Meteorite said grimly, "my dear friend of Commas. ”

Srice heard the voice.

He was shocked slightly, and then carefully measured the make-up Nicolais.

After a few seconds, the Marquis's face became extremely ugly.

He recognized the unnaturally darkened man.

"Ah, Lord Nicolai!" Slais twitched in embarrassment, his expression wonderfully painful:

"You're still ......"

"Still alive?" Nicolai took his words dismissively.

Slais's face froze, and his voice was druffled: "Haha, haha, this, this is another surprise......"

"Yes," Nicolai sneered, his eyes full of hatred and anger, "Your Majesty ...... Nunn"

Before Nicolas could finish speaking, in the next instant, Slais changed his face with lightning speed,

"I've reconsidered, Your Highness Tails!"

Lord Marquis turned his head and looked at Tails solemnly and solemnly.

"It's really a good business. Shreis said earnestly.

"What do you want to know about rumba?" his words were fluent and smooth, his tone sincere and warm, his emotions genuine and natural: "I will do my best to help you out." ”

Raphael on one side smiled.

Nicolai let out a disgruntled breath.

Tails sighed and looked at Putile, who gave him an affirmative look.

The prince turned to the highly conscious marquis and nodded at Raphael.

Raphael put his blade down.

The Marquis breathed a sigh of relief.

"You once said that Rumba has a unique vision and bearing," Tails frowned, "and Rumba also said that he was going to save Exeter." ”

The prince raised his head, his eyes solemn:

"Why do you say that?"

Shreis raised an eyebrow.

Oh, my God.

I thought he was going to ask some evidence of Lomba's murder, or key people......

However, the question ......

"You won't understand," Shreis shook his head and sighed, "A lot of people think this is nonsense - in fact, I'm still ignorant......"

Tails narrowed his eyes.

"Let's talk about it, see if I can understand," Prince Xingchen said indifferently, "Why and why did Rumba 'save' Exter?"

The Marquis of Commas looked at Tails steadily.

Emotions roll in the eyes.

After a few seconds, Slais chuckled.

He spoke softly, "Because for him - Rumba sees the real threat, and the danger. ”

In this room, whether it was Raphael, Putile, or Nicolais, they were all slightly stunned.

Only one person did not respond.

"A real threat?" Tails asked rhetorically, with an unchanged expression.

"Yes, unprecedented, unstoppable, huge threat," Slais seemed to be a little open-minded, he raised an eyebrow, not expecting the people in the room to understand, "enough to crush and destroy the whole of Exeter." ”

"The other Grand Dukes didn't notice it, or didn't want to notice it. ”

"Only Charman Rumba saw it and made decisive choices and actions before the threat really hit. ”

Tails clasped his hands gently.

It's getting closer.

Right now......

"In order to face this terrible and terrifying threat," Tails said softly, as if he had been woken up by something, "he must unite all of Exeter's forces, huh?"

"Like the four Grand Dukes in Valhalla?"

"Like Longxiao City?"

Tails raised his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a knife, "Because this is not a terrible threat that any of them can withstand alone—it is unprecedented, and it will even change our history forever." ”

At that moment, Srice was really stunned.

It was like meeting this prince for the first time.

"Did you already guess?" Shreis muttered, "but ......"

Tails interrupted him coldly: "It's just a conjecture, I still need your own confirmation." ”

The prince clenched his fists and remembered everything that the little slippery head had said to him.

Mindice III.

A century-old chess game.

The foundation of eternity.

Tails narrowed his eyes and asked one last question: "That great threat." ”

"What is it?"

Srice seems to have recovered from his surprise at Tails.

He let out a long breath, then frowned.

After a few seconds, Slais's brow slackened.

He smiled.

"Your Royal Highness Tails, in fact, you have already figured it out," Srice shook his head slowly, and said with a smile, "What has Charman Rumba done for a long time?"

Tails' eyes grew more and more solemn.

I only heard Slais say with deep meaning on his face: "What kind of existence is it in this world......

"The ...... of the dragon kingdom that can intimidate the unrivaled military power"

"Threatening the future of the No. 1 power in the West 6 ......"

"Will inherit the great way of the Northland and establish the kingdom of Exeter for more than 600 years......"

"Pushing into an unprecedented life-and-death situation?"
