king of the castle

Chapter 45

"What?" Massa couldn't believe his ears at this moment, he stood up abruptly, without even noticing that he knocked over the wine glass. 【】Masa stared at Roger for a while, and after confirming that he was not joking, he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Are you crazy?".

"Of course I'm not crazy." Roger shrugged and said, "Since His Majesty summoned me, how could I not go? If I don't obey His Majesty's orders, I'm afraid the nobles of the whole country will regard me as an enemy... I I don’t want to be an enemy of the people.”

Roger's words made Massa silent for a while, and then he sighed long, and finally said nothing.Massa knew that Roger's words were correct, even if he couldn't get out of Mandos City with various excuses, His Majesty the King would definitely use the reason of disobedience to the king's order to cut Roger's title and declare him a traitor to the kingdom , Stealing kingdom land and so on.At that time, Alonso III will be able to justifiably call on other lords to send troops to attack Kent Town, and Roger will really go to war with the entire kingdom.

"My friend, this is a dead end." Roger smiled at Massa, "So I will definitely go. I would rather let the kingdom feel sorry for me first than I will do something that will cause the kingdom to suffer losses first."

Roger's words were righteous, which made Massa feel ashamed.The shame of the captain of the palace guard is not only for himself, but also for Alonso III's behavior of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.

But Roger didn't mind about it, he stood up and said to Massa: "Give me a day to deal with the affairs of the territory, and I will go back to Mandos City with you in the morning of the day after tomorrow."

Massa didn't know what to say to Roger's blunt answer.Although he will definitely be praised by Alonso III for his effective handling of affairs after he returns to Mandos City, but Massa can't be happy at all.Seeing his goodness knowing that there was a trap in front of him and stepping in calmly, at this moment Massa felt that only like Roger had real courage.

Roger walked away from the Earl's Mansion, the calm smile on his face had disappeared.What would rather make the Kingdom feel sorry for himself first than do anything that would damage the Kingdom first? These are all just made up by Roger.If he was not absolutely sure of self-protection, Roger would not foolishly throw himself in for some loyalty to the kingdom.

Now that Alonso III is going to attack him, Roger certainly will not willingly become a victim of political struggle.The reason why he agreed to go to Mandos City was because he didn't want to be caught by Alonso III morally.On the day when the two sides tear their faces apart, Roger will be able to say to all the nobles in the kingdom: "Hey, the king is such a shameless guy who killed a nobleman who is loyal to the kingdom like me, and you still support this virtuous king!" , aren’t you afraid that you will end up like me in the future?”

Roger was no murderer.He didn't want to go to war with the entire kingdom unless he had to.After all, it was only Alonso III and his think tanks who were wrong. Other nobles, especially ordinary soldiers, just obeyed orders.Roger also didn't want these unwilling people to pay the price of their lives for other people's mistakes. After all, these were living human beings, not undead creatures that could be eliminated without stress.

The next day Roger told Bonnie and the others about his plan, and of course everyone immediately met with strong opposition.Several of Roger's confidants already knew about the affair between the Duke of Hamilton and the king. Of course, they could also think that it would definitely not be a good thing for Alonso III to summon Roger at this time.Seeing that Roger was going to die, of course no one would agree to his plan.

Especially Anna's attitude is the most resolute.She knew very well that Roger was targeted by Alonso III just to avenge his father, so he must not be allowed to take risks for this matter again.Anna even uttered cruel words, as long as Roger dared to go to Mandos City, she would find a chance to go to the capital to find King Alonso III and surrender himself.

Luo Jie was both moved and dumbfounded by everyone's concern.Everyone seemed to think that he went back and forth to Mandos City this time, and it was absolutely impossible for him to survive.Seeing that everyone was determined, especially when Anna threatened her with her life, Luo Jie sighed and said, "You guys are too disrespectful to me. Could it be that I am so stupid, so stupid that I would take the initiative to die? ?”

"Unless you tell your plan, we won't stop you if everyone thinks there is no danger." Anna's words immediately got everyone's approval.

"You should all know that I have a castle." Roger had to give way: "The castle can build a building only a portal. I started building this building last night. When it is completed, no matter where I am, I just need to open the portal. You can come back to Kent Town, now you can rest assured?"

All the people present were Roger's confidantes, and they naturally knew the secret of his castle.Although everyone doesn't know much about the castle, they also know that it is a magical castle with various incredible abilities.So everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Roger say that the castle can build buildings like limited portals.Since there is such a legendary space magic building, Roger is safe wherever he goes.As long as he wanted to, he could return to Kent Town anytime, and the danger he encountered was naturally minimized.

However, Anna was still a little worried, and after thinking for a while, she said to Roger: "You can go, but you must go with Sophia. With her protection, we can truly rest assured."

Although Sophia's true identity is only known to Anna and Bonnie, everyone knows that this beautiful redhead has amazing strength, so everyone agrees immediately.

As the weather got hotter, Sophia also felt a little tired of always staying in the villa, and wanted to go for a walk.In addition, now Roger has more and more women, and the time spent with Dragon Girl is less, and this time the two go to Mandos City together, which means that Roger belongs to Sophia alone during this period all over.So the dragon girl was also very happy after hearing Anna's words, and she wished to set off for Mandos City with Roger immediately.But Sophia did not show her happy mood. Instead, she pretended not to be very happy and said: "Hmph, I will accompany you for everyone's sake. Otherwise, even if you beg me, I won't go here every day in the sun and the sea." I know how pleasant it is..."

"Okay, you're saving face for everyone, okay." Roger didn't want to argue with Sophia, and immediately made a decision: "This matter is settled, and I will leave tomorrow. I will leave the matter of the territory to everyone."

Early the next morning, Roger set off with Sophia and Massa.

Seeing that Roger didn't even bring a personal guard, but brought a charming red-haired beauty with him, Massa admired him even more.It's just that the captain of the palace guard doesn't know that this gorgeous red-haired beauty is so delicate and weak. It seems that her lethality to men can only be shown in bed, but if she really launches a storm, I'm afraid an army of thousands of people Can't stand it.

Although Roger simply followed Massa to Mandos City, he walked slowly all the way.It's not that Roger doesn't want to leave, but that "Jiao Didi" Sophie Yatai is in trouble.Every day, she would sleep until the sun was high before setting off. When it was near noon, she would rest because of the heat, and she would not start her journey until evening.Just after dark, he had to rest again, and he was only on the road for half a day in a day. Naturally, the slow speed can be imagined.

Massa was also very dissatisfied with Sophia's attitude, but for Roger's sake, he could only follow her.Anyway, it is not easy for Roger to simply agree to go to Mandos City, and it is not a big deal to spend more time on the road.

Of course Massa would not know that it was actually Roger who asked Sophia to delay the trip intentionally so that he could use this time to build a limited portal.In order to take Sophia away in case of any accident, Roger also expanded the tavern so that he could sign symbiotic contracts with more people.

It is easier to expand the tavern than to limit the portal.When the group was still halfway, the expansion of the tavern had already been completed.Roger found an opportunity to sign a symbiotic contract with Sophia, and finally he and the dragon girl truly share weal and woe, and he no longer has to worry about her betraying him.

But what happened next was beyond Roger's expectations. Now that the symbiosis contract had been signed, he wanted to take off the puppet collar that Sophia had been wearing.In fact, in the process of getting along with the dragon girl, Roger hardly used the power of the puppet collar.Now that he has signed a symbiotic contract with Sophia, Roger will not need this thing even more.

But Sophia was not happy when she knew Roger was going to do this.Clutching the collar around her neck, the dragon girl looked at Roger vigilantly and said, "What do you want to do? Can you take back what you have already given away? Why don't you count what you say, a big man?"

Knowing that Dragon Girl is suffering from "treasure occupation syndrome", and reluctant to return the puppet collar to himself, Roger is also very angry and funny.Speaking of which, the Dragon Clan's obsession with treasure is really hard to understand, but since Sophia has already said so much, Roger can't force her to let him take off the puppet collar, so the Dragon Girl can only continue proudly. with it.

After this episode, Roger and his party continued to move towards Mandos City.After more than ten days, everyone finally arrived near the capital of the kingdom.The tall city walls of Mandos City are already far away, and it looks a bit gloomy and terrifying in the twilight, like a monster that chooses people and devours them.And the target that this monster most wants to devour is probably Roger who is about to enter the city.
