Chapter 16 Visit late at night (please read!)
On the candle cup are unlit dry candles, and the crimson moonlight projecting through the gaps in the windows brings a small amount of light to this dim room.
Roy sat quietly beside the bed, looking out the night view outside the window, his heart full of flowing thoughts.
Choosing to make a certain degree of "confession" with Red is an indispensable thing. Although the talent of [Infinite Desire] is powerful, it is less important than his real secret - [Original Sin Cube].
How to escape from the witch that day, suddenly recovered as before and even became stronger than before... all these require a reasonable explanation.
And [Infinite Desire] solved this very well.
Although men who awaken their natural abilities have reached a rare and rare point in the history of the empire, they have not been without them.
If Roy wants to develop in the future, many things will inevitably be unable to avoid Red, so it is an indispensable part of revealing some information to him in advance.
Judging from Red's performance tonight, compared to the imperial laws and temple taboos, Red values the glory of the Tulumberg family and the safety of Roy, the son of the lord.
In fact, this is normal. In this world, the lords and families are not so much the king's right subjects, but rather the king's right, they are independent small countries. Although the lords need to pay taxes regularly to the empire, in fact, within the territory, what the lord says is more effective than the imperial laws.
This is a disadvantage that the feudal system has been implemented for a long time and is inevitable.
The knights who serve the lord are essentially bound to this family, let alone the lord's attendant knights. Both sides can be said to be prosperous and both lose.
After "finishing the bottom" with Red, Roy can be said to have accomplished a thought.
Next, we will focus our energy on the person behind the scenes.
If Roy wants to develop in the future, he will inevitably have difficulty in his development. With such an enemy who is determined to kill him and has taken action, no one can feel at ease.
According to the speed of the Templar Knights' travel, it will take about two days to escort "Roy" to the temple of the Rafa Province. And if the people behind the scenes have any means to target the Black Stone Corps, then these two days will be the best time to move.
Of course, if the person behind the scenes is really so tolerant and has to endure until Roy is burned to death by the stolen stent in the temple before he can act, then he can only wait.
But it is highly likely that it is impossible.
Although the temple has the right to directly take down or even imprisonment when it comes to the stake, there must be unquestionable evidence and submit it to the House of Representatives.
It takes a long time to go back and forth, and it will be no surprise that it will take for a year or two.
Therefore, the time for the person behind the scenes to take action is likely to be in the near future.
Roy sighed under the moonlight.
The enemy is dark and we are clear. The current Black Stone Corps lacks intelligence systems and is simply a "blind man". They can only make this worst decision.
After thinking ended, Roy was about to start condensing the fighting spirit.
Even if the person behind the scenes emerges, the only ones who can take action on the outside are him, Red, and his knights.
The temple knight Rami and his attendant Knight Al, as the temple side, are already a great favor to help Roy "forensic and fraud". If the two of them take action again, they will be taboo.
The relationship between the temple and the empire is inherently subtle. As a god-punishing knight, Rami and his two need to pay more attention to their own words and deeds.
Just as Roy was about to close his eyes and practice, suddenly, he felt the shadow of the room under the moonlight in front of him twist and float. Then, a slender figure gradually condensed and appeared in his eyes.
A long skirt with white base and crimson purple embellishment, delicate skin, snow-white hair, and eyes like reflected silver stars, like an elf walking out of the white snow.
——Ice Witch Ess.
Why did she come?
A hint of astonishment appeared in Roy's eyes.
Before he could stand up, the ice witch Aisi, who appeared here, moved his lotus steps and came to his side, sniffing his beautiful nose.
"The breath of other witches..."
The cold voice of the emotions that could not be heard made Roy's heart tremble. For some reason, he felt guilty.
But soon, Roy reacted.
Why is he guilty? What kind of guilty is he guilty?
He and the Ice Witch Ais are just a cooperative relationship!
Thinking of this, Roy's courage suddenly became enough. He looked at the snow girl beside him and lowered his voice, "You are so brave. The God-Punishment Knight of the Temple has just left in the sky. And, how do you know I'm here?"
"I heard from the residents that you were captured by the Knight of God's Punishment." Ess stated expressionlessly:
"I was originally going to go over to rescue me at night, but after nightfall, the positioning I made on you returned to the Black Stone Collar, so I'll come and take a look first."
"..." After hearing Ess's words, Roy was silent.
Although Eis was willing to attack the prison car guarded by the God-Punishment Knight in order to save him, what is the point you are doing on me? Hello!
Even when he entered the state of perceived concentration of breathing, Roy did not notice anything wrong with him. Obviously, the strength gap between the two sides was too large, and the methods of the Ice Witch were not something he could find now.
You can't beat it, no wonder it, what can Roy do? What can you do?
He sighed helplessly: "This morning, the Templar Knight suddenly visited and told me that someone had provided sufficient evidence to the temple of the Rafa Province, proving the information that the Ice Witch was in the Black Stone Corps, and pointed out that the son of Lord Black Stone Corps, Roy had collusion with the Ice Witch."
Ess frowned slightly with a beautiful brow. Hearing what Roy said, she shook her head: "I didn't do it."
"The reason why Ilena and I came to the Black Stone Collar was because we had accidentally obtained a magic item called "Control Doll", which can be manipulated by implanting marks in the target heart."
"At that time, I was not far from losing control. For the sake of Ilena's future, I decided to find a son of a noble who is easy to control, preferably the kind who can inherit the title immediately and facilitate hiding."
"And four days ago we intercepted a secret information outside the black market. Lord Blackstone was missing and the title was about to be passed to his son, Roy Tulumberg."
"The Blackstone Territory is located in a remote location and is just a change in the lord's title. The noise caused is very small, which is our best choice."
"So after I discussed it with Elena, I decided to choose you as my target."
"You know everything after that."
"This is the cause and effect of everything."
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
After saying that, the Ice Witch's body disappeared directly into Roy's gaze, leaving only an extremely ordinary envelope and a cold voice:
"This is the 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 and opened it.
There is a piece of letter paper in the envelope and a photo.
There is very little content on the letter paper, only a short line of words:
"Roy Tulumberg, son of Lord Blackstone, has a high-purity magic crystal on his body!"
The content of the photo is a person with a body shape and a very similar shape to Roy, holding a dark purple crystal in his hand in a corner of a building under the night.
Due to the shooting distance and angle, the side face of the figure cannot be seen clearly, but the outline of the building is exactly the same as the lord's mansion of the Black Stone Collar.
Looking at the letter paper and the content on the photo in front of him, Roy smiled.
The fish hidden under the water finally couldn't help but take the bait.
