Faced with the inevitable question, Thales and Kuaisheng looked at each other numbly with extremely sad moods.
what to do?
This is the only meaning they can see in each other's eyes.
But there is no answer.
"Um?"
Ricky urged: "Do you still need some 'motivation' like just now?"
Thinking of the feeling just now, the fast rope suddenly started to tremble.
what to do?
Facing everyone's increasingly suspicious eyes and looking at Quick Rope's fearful eyes, Thales could only bite the bullet and speak: "We..."
what to do?
He poked Kuaisheng's belly, hoping that the other party would have an idea.
The quick rope shook twice, and he answered awkwardly: "That..."
He only said one word, stepped on Thales's feet hard, and asked for emergency help.
Ricky watched their performance with amusement.
Thales glared back at Kuai Sheng angrily and answered in a drawl: "Actually..."
His thigh hit the fast rope hard, indicating that he should continue quickly.
Quick Rope glanced at him in disbelief and said bravely: "That's it..."
Ricky smiled.
Smiling happily.
"never mind……"
Ricky waved his hand and shook his head in helplessness or humor, but there was a glint in his eyes: "Why don't you tell us exactly what happened before you got here?"
"Especially... Dean's whereabouts?"
As soon as these words came out, Thales and Quick Rope both shuddered!
Oops.
"It seems that you are coming to Tampa to do business?" Ricky rubbed his fingers and recalled something: "It seems that you are helping him kill someone?"
The two princes looked toward Tampa.
The owner of the tavern, Tampa, raised his eyebrows and laughed dryly when facing the two people's pleading looks: "Well, I don't know either..."
Thales and Quick Rope froze again.
However, many people's eyes slowly turned to the sack on the bottom of their feet.
that……
human shaped sack,
Thales felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
what to do?
Soon, Ricky's suspicious eyes slowly turned.
Turn to the sack.
Oops.
At this moment, Thales's mind seemed to be frozen.
Ricky's eyes were fixed on the sack and he slowly said: "So, what exactly are you going to kill..."
at this moment
"you are right!"
Thales suddenly raised his voice, stood up resolutely, raised his chest and raised his head!
From Ricky to Drill, to Russell and Clay, the masked men all frowned, looking at this boy who was behaving abnormally with confusion and suspicion.
Only the fast rope next to him still looked at Thales standing blankly: Huh?
But the next moment, Thales stepped on him hard under the table!
Boom.
Under the severe pain, Kuaisheng's expression became solemn.
The next second, the fast rope jumped up!
He straightened his body, trembling slightly, and said with a pale face: "We did not appear here by chance!"
Everyone was startled by the sudden burst of fast rope and became more and more confused.
Thales took a deep breath and kept imagining all the arrogant people in his impression. With a vibrating voice that only he could detect, he said: "Tch, we are here with a mission..."
He looked directly into Ricky's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through secrets, and kept repeating to himself: You can't show weakness, you can't show weakness, you can't show weakness...
gap.
From just listening to now.
He needs to find a gap.
Ensure your own safety and escape from this fatal situation!
"mission?"
Ricky savored the word and narrowed his eyes:
"Is it?"
This time, without waiting for Thales to remind him, Quick Rope folded his arms without any guidance.
He sneered and looked at the people in the tavern with a sense of pride unique to nobility.
"Of course," the former Prince Exeter twitched his chin indifferently: "Why, Miss Marina, whose story is extremely tragic, don't you naively think that we are really just two little thieves picking locks late at night?
Head?"
Marina's eyes widened, as if it was hard to imagine that the little thief who had just been cowed into a ball would now look like this.
gap.
Thales said to himself.
gap!
"Russell Vader."
Thales cleared his throat and looked at the suspicious messenger.
Obviously, six years later and with his cross-dressing, neither Dozi nor Russell could recognize the original Prince of the Stars.
This made Thales feel much more at ease.
He spoke proudly with the tone of an imaginary dead man's face: "You are from King Charmaine, but are you really sure that it was Dean who contacted you in the desert?"
"Just to capture the prince and take him back to the Black Sand Territory?"
Russell frowned slightly, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the two of them.
Kuaisheng glanced at Thales with his peripheral vision, and the latter understood the meaning in his eyes: Please don't poke trouble!
Thales coughed lightly.
"Dean's mission was not to search for Prince Thales."
"As far as I know, not long ago, Dean himself was not sure whether the target was Thales Bright Star."
Russell moved slightly.
This made both Dou Zi and Ricky couldn't help but glance at the former baron.
"You are not with Dean at all," Thales said proudly, "Tell me, did you intercept Dean's information? Or bribed his contacts?"
Russell frowned fiercely.
His reaction made Drill and Ricky look at Russell with a different meaning.
But only Thales knows.
He is gambling.
I was betting on whether the two pieces of information I heard from Charmaine Lombard and Dean himself were correct.
If it's not right...
Thales swallowed.
Russell frowned and stared at Thales with heavy eyes and deep doubts.
Thales felt his heartbeat speed up.
Finally, after a few seconds, Russell snorted softly.
"You two," Russell asked coldly with a gloomy face:
"Who is it?"
very good.
The bet was right!
Thales did somersaults in his heart!
"Answer his question," Ricky seemed to have decided not to doubt his companions anymore. He pointed the finger at Thales again and said coldly: "What are you guys from?"
Following his words, the mercenaries stepped forward one after another with evil expressions.
The surroundings suddenly became full of hostility.
Even the driller put his hands in his arms and glanced at them lightly.
The quick rope is a thrill.
But Thales held him down.
"Oh," Thales spread his hands, looking helpless: "Maybe it's time, hurry up."
Kuai Sheng tried his best to cover up the sudden surprise.
Change to a bland, nonchalant response again:
"you sure?"
"Well," Thales glanced around and sighed, "It seems there is no other choice."
Kuaisheng’s eyebrows jumped: What?
What choice?
But he suppressed his doubts, shrugged, and cooperatively threw the topic back to Thales in an understatement: "Let's do it."
Under everyone's alert and suspicious eyes, Thales whistled.
Under the illumination of the light, he showed a cold and malicious smile: "The stars are shining, and the dark places are pitch black..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tavern, including Kuai Sheng, was stunned!
But almost at the same time, the face of the listener suddenly became solemn: Ricky gritted his teeth, and the drill took half a step back. Russell could not hide his surprise, but without exception, everyone held down their weapons!
"Qiang! Swish!"
Many people have even drawn out their blades!
Eh?
Not quite right...
Thales was so excited that he quickly pulled the rope!
Kuai Rope, who was almost frightened, had an idea and picked up the second half of Thales' sentence: "The huge... giant dragon is flying in the sky, and the shadows under the dragon's wings are endless!"
This statement made everyone startled again!
Many people abruptly stopped drawing their swords and charging.
Thales breathed a sigh of relief.
What a risk. Fortunately, I knew earlier...
"You..." Ricky looked at the two of them in disbelief.
After relaxing, Thales raised his fist, coughed slightly, and chuckled: "Yes, we are the secret department..."
Everyone’s eyes jumped again!
This time, it was the fast rope's turn to elbow Thales hard in the stomach!
boom.
Thales trembled. When he realized that he had made a mistake, he was so frightened that he quickly changed the subject: "...'s mortal enemy!"
I almost bit my tongue.
Kuaisheng exhaled secretly and vowed never to act with this big tongue again.
silence.
Absolute silence.
In front of them, almost everyone looked at them with dead eyes.
Surprise, amazement, incredible.
The lights in the tavern kept swaying, reflecting the ever-changing atmosphere inside.
It's suffocating.
"My name is 'Saka', as you can see," Thales took a deep breath, folded his arms beside the fast rope, and said coldly: "We are from the Dark Room."
Kuaisheng snorted knowingly, with a hateful smile, stretched out his hands and bowed to the surroundings:
"I'm the fast rope."
"Dear Ms. Kashan, please let me say hello to you all."
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
At that moment, no matter it was Ricky, Drill or Russell, their faces were as ugly as they were.
Several seconds passed.
"impossible."
"At your age," Ricky took a deep breath and said to Thales as if he was adjusting to the ups and downs, "Isn't it too early to become a spy?"
"You may not know that Ms. Cassan has been taking on tasks since she was eight years old, dealing with life and death in the Kingdom's secret department."
Ricky frowned tightly, looking at Thales with eyes that never relaxed for a moment.
"Darkroom? Why are you here?" The driller asked silently with a deep voice.
Kuaisheng sneered, looking like he was laughing at the opponent's ignorance.
"Didn't anyone tell you, friends of Shadowshield?"
Thales, oh, no, he is the new spy in the dark room. The young man 'Saka' raised his hand and smiled at the livid Russell: "Dean is not King Charman's spy or informant.
He's from our darkroom, and you 'stolen' your information from him."
"What Mr. Russell said is not entirely the truth."
Russell took a deep breath, his cheeks twitched, and his expression remained unchanged.
This made Thales feel more reassured.
pass.
Thales patted himself mentally.
He made the right bet.
"As for the matter of King Charmaine arranging spies in the dark room... don't worry, this is a small misunderstanding within Exeter, between King Charmaine and Ms. Cassan," Kuai Sheng added wittily, not forgetting.
Throwing a threatening gesture at Russell:
"Madam will find your Majesty to solve the problem soon."
Ricky frowned, looking at Russell no longer the same as before, and even the drill guy frowned.
"You didn't answer my question." The driller said solemnly.
The atmosphere became a little depressing.
Thales blew a breath.
"We lost contact with Dean for a while," he patted the table nonchalantly: "So we had to come and see for ourselves."
Kuaisheng arched his shoulders and raised one lip.
"But now that we've heard about your plot..."
At that moment, everyone in the tavern looked at them nervously.
Quick Rope raised his finger in front of his lips and said with a sly smile: "I don't know, will the 'Dark Room' under the Red Witch have the honor to participate in your operation?"
"Or, you can try to silence us?"
Thales smiled and added: "After all, we may be the only two people left in the darkroom here!"
At this moment, the faces of Ricky and others were even uglier than before.
"Dark room," the driller's breathing slowly accelerated. He turned to Russell and cursed in a low voice: "You should have told me from the beginning!"
Russell said nothing, just gritted his teeth.
Thales and Quick Rope stood side by side, smiling as before.
No one knew that both of them were breaking out in cold sweat behind their backs.
But just then.
"thump."
A soft sound reached my ears.
Thales paused slightly.
Everyone was also startled.
"thump!"
There was another sound, louder than before!
But when it fell into Thales's heart, it was like a thunderbolt from the clear sky!
Nothing else.
Because of this noise...
It came from the feet of him and Quick Rope.
Following the sound, Thales and Quick Rope lowered their heads stiffly like frozen ice sculptures, and then trembled in unison!
No...it can't be right?
This is the stunned Thales.
"Plop."
Another sound.
But the source of the sound is already clear.
It's the human-shaped sack.
No.
To be precise, a person.
a man.
A man who should have died was lying on the ground clutching his throat in pain.
Inch by inch, he climbed out of the sack.
The man looked tired and his eyes were unfocused.
But when he looked up and saw Thales and Quick Rope, he punched the ground hard!
Boom!
With unwillingness and resentment, the bald mercenary Dadian came back from the dead and cursed fiercely: "Fuck!"
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Whether it was Thales or Quick Rope, both of them were frozen in place.
