Ruby played a little game she learned from Clara, which immediately aroused the curiosity of many people.
"Truth or dare? It sounds like it's quite fun." The blond-haired boy seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes immediately lit up.
The other two people at the card table were still hesitant, but others had already begun to coax them into agreeing.
Alfred ran the army very strictly, but these guards didn't have any bad intentions, they just wanted to tease the beautiful and cute little girl in front of them.
So the other two people at the card table no longer hesitated and said to Ruby, "Then don't regret it, little Charlene."
Ruby shrugged, "Who regrets it?"
In the first round, Ruby did not rob the landowner, but teamed up with another farmer to defeat the landowner, so the poor landowner was forced to choose between truth or dare.
He chose the big adventure, and Ruby just made him roll around the room a few times, but the other person was more cruel and made him learn how to bray like a pig, making the other guards bend forward and backward.
In the second round, Ruby still did not rob the landlord, but she lost this round. She chose to tell the truth. However, the person who asked the question seemed to be suddenly strangled by the neck, and his face turned red, but
But I couldn't utter a single word.
"Ask quickly, ask quickly." People around urged him, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Sweat broke out on the man's forehead, and he finally opened his mouth, but his mouth was dry, "Well, well... I want to ask you... what do you think of me... my new boots, which I wore last weekend?"
I just bought it in Black Rock City."
"Very beautiful." Ruby blinked, "I swear to my Lord Saturday, everything I say is true."
The crowd burst into boos again, obviously dissatisfied with a certain guy who had no guts.
And the man regretted it very much after he finished speaking, and wished he could slap himself. He secretly made up his mind to win the next game, so that he could take this opportunity to ask Charlene if she had any feelings for him.
But soon he was caught and said, "Okay, it's my turn, it's my turn, Tucker, you've played three games in a row, it's time to take a break."
"No, I'm not tired yet, I can keep playing!" Tucker wailed, but he was already taken away by two colleagues.
He was replaced by the young man with blond hair, "I am Crowley, they all call me Blond Crowley."
Crowley introduced himself to Ruby as soon as he sat down.
But he was interrupted by the girl, "When you defeat me, you can order me to listen to your introduction."
"Just what I wanted." Crowley smiled softly.
However, the blond boy's luck was not very good. He couldn't defeat him three times in a row, and his face turned as dark as possible in the end.
A cheerful atmosphere once again filled the tower.
…………
Half an hour later, Ruby returned to the castle satisfied with the information she wanted.
She had already vaguely guessed the method Herodotus would use to complete the assassination, but she needed to verify a certain key point. But now the problem came. No matter what excuse she used, that thing was not something she could get.
.
Ruby was just thinking when a voice came from behind her, "I've been watching you for a long time, what are you looking for?"
Ruby was shocked when she heard this, but remained calm on the surface.
She turned around and saw the figure at the other end of the corridor.
The man was about the same height as her, wearing a dark green cloak. He stood in a place where the sun could not shine, and his whole person exuded an uncomfortable coldness.
Ruby took a step toward him, and the man immediately took a step back alertly. At the same time, a small gray-brown head poked out of his cloak, staring at Ruby.
"I recognize you, you are Greta from Shuangxiu Cult who can control mice."
"I am not a person who takes a break from school. The reason why I am working for Merlin now is just to pay off debts." Greta frowned and handed the mouse on her shoulder a small piece of rusk.
"I'm not a bad person," Ruby said, "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...human beings, you are always cunning."
"I don't expect you to believe me, I just hope you can give me a chance to explain." Ruby said sincerely, "The banquet is about to start, and we don't have much time."
"us?"
Ruby didn't want to talk about this kind of thing here, but Greta didn't give her a chance to choose at all. Fortunately, most people were in the banquet hall on the second floor, and there was no one in the corridor at the moment.
So Ruby decided to keep the story short, "The Prophet sent you here to protect Miss Ilea, right? And my investigation just found that people from the Blood Moon Society are likely to take action against Miss Ilea."
Ruby thought this news would surprise the girl opposite, but she didn't expect the latter to remain expressionless, "Are you talking about the short, fat man from the Welch family?"
"How did you know?" Ruby didn't expect that Greta had already discovered what she had finally investigated.
"Human beings are always so arrogant and will unconsciously despise other creatures on this land." Greta broke off another small piece of rusk and put it into her mouth this time.
After hearing what she said, Ruby was not as shocked as before, so she smiled.
"Your mouse friends are indeed very powerful, but you still don't know how the Blood Moon Club used the Welch family to assassinate Miss Ilea."
Greta was silent this time. After a moment, she raised her head and said, "How do you know?"
"It's very simple. If you have the evidence that he is planning to assassinate, you should have handed it over to Miss Ilea by now."
Greta couldn't argue, "My rats will find it."
"But now the party is about to begin."
Greta was a little reluctant, but finally had to say, "Do you have evidence?"
"Well, or to be more precise, I at least know where the evidence is, but I can't verify it on my own."
"I'll verify it," Greta said calmly.
"Are you planning to join forces with me?" Ruby blinked, "Look, human beings are not as useless as you say. The prophet Merlin said that people are united with each other through common beliefs.
Only by working together and forming an organization can we accomplish things that individuals cannot."
"Whatever." Greta was a little impatient, "Where is your evidence?"
Ruby didn't lie any more, "The gift given to Miss Ilea by the Welch family."
"That dragon-slaying hero statue?" Greta frowned again.
