Uncle, I am not an ordinary office worker.

But it was she who had to ask this question, and she couldn't even blame Roy for spoiling the plot.

The Queen nodded, not questioning whether Roy could do it or not. She glanced at the calendar next to her and said:

"In three days at most, we will set off to return to Leitania. By then, I will help you summon the messenger from all nations."

"Speaking of which, why don't you look for Casimir's messenger of all nations?" The Queen suddenly asked again. Obviously, Roy is in Casimir now, wouldn't it be much more convenient to look for Casimir's messenger of all nations?

But Roy curled his lips and replied helplessly but as a matter of course: "He's not here."

"Well...it fits my stereotype of Sakota." The Queen and Teutonic nodded at the same time.

Volume 1: Chapter 267: Temporary Meeting of the Deep Sea Church

Iberia, coastline, unknown ruined city.

Iberia has many coastal cities that are not mobile cities. After the Great Silence, these coastal cities have all turned into uninhabited ruins without exception. The rising tide will never recede, and even the once prosperous golden city of Iberia can only decay on the seabed.

This ruined city is just one of the countless cities that sank after the drastic changes in the coastline. Iberia is unable to send people to retake it, so it has become a gathering point for another group of forces.

The Deep Sea Cultists are a group of aliens with different races and purposes, who use reason to cover up the deepest madness in their minds.

There are four most active deep-sea bishops among them, and their followers are widely distributed along the coastline of Iberia, spreading the belief in the sea god and the heir of the sea. As for how many bishops there are and how large the number of believers is, even the Iberian Inquisition does not have a specific number.

Unlike the orthodox Lateran Church, the Deep Sea Cultists do not have a fixed religious leader. Bishops often develop their own power and practice their own understanding of the large group. Therefore, there are few things that can gather them together unless that matter is related to their survival.

"There have been a lot of spies on the coastline recently. Does anyone have any clues?"

A deep-sea bishop who was not the leader of the crowd asked the accomplices gathered around him in a tentative tone, and he especially looked twice at a hunched figure wrapped in a dark blue, almost black robe.

Quintus, who was seen, snorted coldly. He had no intention of wasting words to defend himself, but the eyes of the people around him were all cast towards him, forcing him to speak:

"Why are you all looking at me? Do I look like that stupid guy?"

"Like." A gentle and cheerful male voice nodded.

"Aulus!" Quintus raised his voice and shouted angrily.

The woman wearing a bowler hat, who was flatter than a man but full of all the charm of an intellectual woman, sighed and stopped Quintus who wanted to rush forward, and warned Aulus:

"Don't provoke our compatriots. This is meaningless internal friction."

After that, she looked at Quintus and asked seriously:

"Quintus, you know that Aulus's concerns are not groundless. Your research is the most radical and the most noisy. If it is noticed by the Inquisition, it is not impossible to cause some unnecessary trouble."

Hearing this, Quintus's distorted and aged face trembled twice under his hood, and then he replied in a bad tone: "Amaya! I'm sure the problem is not with me."

"To be honest, instead of trying to catch the traitor here, why don't we think about what to do next? Or should we suspend our activities and lie low for a while as before?"

A man who was obviously a head taller than the other bishops present and had a scorpion-shaped sea beast squatting on his shoulder tapped the scepter in his hand and gave a light reminder.

This was a common tactic used by the Deep Sea Cultists. Most of the Deep Sea Cultists, except for the Deep Sea Bishops, were ordinary Agor Islanders, or refugees who were on the brink of survival in the ruined cities near the sea and abandoned by the authorities. Whenever they needed to, they would just take off their clothes and pack up the things related to the Deep Sea Church at home, and in a blink of an eye they would be ordinary Iberians. As long as the bishops blended in with them, even the Inquisition would find it difficult to find any problems - they couldn't use lanterns to search every single person.

This is how they have managed to avoid countless inspections and surveillance in the past. Iberia has long been at the end of its rope. For such a dying beast, they only need to keep nibbling away at it to take it down safely.

But this time, Aulus shook his head:

"I'm afraid not. The spies this time are a little different from the previous ones. They are not from the Inquisition or the Punishment Army. They come from other countries."

"Other countries?" Quintus groaned. "Why would other countries pay attention to Iberia? It must be related to you, Aulus."

The Deep Sea Bishops have always shared their research with each other. It is well known that Aulus has been studying the possibility of converting other species on Earth into sea heirs. Therefore, he is also one of the Deep Sea Bishops who is most likely to provoke other countries on Earth - his recent experimental subjects include Liberi, Kuranta and Filin.

"It has nothing to do with me." Aulus smiled and shook his head, keeping his squinty eyes that made Quintus feel sick. "The people investigating us are the Leitanians. Only their spies are so unique. They disguised themselves as wandering musicians in the ruins of the city, and they actually played good classical music."

"It fits my stereotype of those pedantic aristocrats very well." The tall Bishop Jiechao stroked the scorpion-shaped fish on his shoulder and laughed, but his expression gradually changed from relaxed to serious.

Leitania is a strong enough core circle country. Unlike Iberia, their government has sufficient power to control the entire territory. If they become wary of the Deep Sea Church, it may indeed cause them a lot of trouble.

"Why not just fight them!" Quintus sneered, "Infiltrating Iberia bit by bit is too slow. We should have been more direct. With a large group of compatriots, our strength may not be inferior to that of the Inquisition. By then, we will be the legitimate government of Iberia!"

"And then it attracted the siege of the nations of the earth?" Even Amaya couldn't help but retort. She wondered if Quintus had damaged his brain because of his research. He didn't look so stupid before.

But Quintus just curled his lips in disdain.

Of course, he would not tell his compatriots that he had successfully reached a cooperation with an Agor governor. As long as he helped her find the lost team members and sent them home, she could cooperate with him in Agor and take down those underwater cities that were still fighting desperately.

By then, with the technological level of Agor and the learning ability of the masses, they will soon be able to build a perfect army and sweep the entire world in one fell swoop. What Leitania, Victoria, three months, all for you!

Ignoring Quintus, who seemed to have thought of something and was enjoying himself, Aulus looked at Amaya and asked, "What do you think Amaya?"

"I am also a folklorist, and I plan to go to Leitania to take a look."

Amaya Road,

"I will send you information regularly. If the situation is not right, I will send you a signal. At that time, it will be up to you to decide whether to dive into the ocean immediately or try to guide the [Sea God] in advance."

Volume 1: Chapter 268: Come with me to the hotel to learn magic

Casimir, Knights Association.

When Roy stepped into the Knights Association, the air in the entire hall seemed to be quiet for a second.

The receptionist standing behind the semicircular counter froze in place. The new knight who was going through the registration process turned around in confusion, his expression changing from puzzlement to dullness. The bodyguard in sunglasses standing at the door of the lounge opened his mouth wide, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground, leaving a long trail of smoke.

Roy waved his hand a little embarrassed by this strange scene, walked to the counter, and whispered:

"I'm looking for Candle Knight Viviana."

"Ms. Candle Knight is in VIP Lounge No. 3!"

The receptionist suddenly straightened her body and spoke as fast as a firefighter from a certain Longmen Fire Department.

Logically speaking, a distinguished guest like the Candle Knight should be protected, and the Knights Association would not disclose her location and whereabouts, let alone tell others which lounge she was in. But Roy seemed to be an exception, and after hearing what he said, the receptionist wanted to reveal all the people in lounges one to five.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, it did save Roy a lot of trouble. He smiled at the receptionist, nodded politely, and turned to walk towards the VIP lounge.

The security guard standing at the door saw Roy coming and looked at him with a dull expression. He didn't know whether to raise his hand or put it down. He had no idea whether he should stop him or not.

Until Roy walked in front of them and asked, "Is the Candle Knight here?"

"Ah... um... no, not here... but here."

The bodyguard answered incoherently. A colleague beside him patted him hard, pulled him behind him, stepped forward, and asked with an incredible expression:

"Um.....you are Lord Knight Heng, right?"

"Your Excellency, there is no need for that." Roy shook his head helplessly.

He had expected that as long as he showed up at an event like the Knights Association, this kind of scene would most likely occur, but he did not expect that people's reactions would be so intense.

Seeing that Roy did not deny it, the bodyguard in front of him almost stopped breathing for several seconds. He took out a pen and took off his coat, and said excitedly:

"Can you give me an autograph?"

"Uh.....Okay, but can you let me go in first?"

The bodyguard's expression froze, as if hesitating, but he finally made way and said, "Please."

Roy raised his hand and knocked on the door, and soon Viviana's soft voice came from the call window at the door: "Come in."

Roy pushed the door open and closed it gently. Just before the door was completely closed, deafening screams came from outside.

Surprised, Viviana was about to say hello to Roy when she was startled by the sound outside the door. She was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's going on outside? Is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing." Roy waved his hand and took the lead in greeting, "Long time no see, Viviana."

Upon hearing this, Viviana put away her worried look, walked up to Roy and gave him a big hug without caring about his surprise. After letting go, she nodded with a slightly flushed face and said, "It's been a long time, Mr. Roy."

"That being said, I have been hearing stories about you all this time. Whether it was the bounty hunter group in the Equal Wilderness, or the victory over the invading army of Ursus, or saving Her Majesty the Queen and the Elector in Leitania, or after returning, facilitating the decision to purchase Plot Zero instead of abandoning it. Any of these things can be called remarkable. It's remarkable that you can accomplish so many things by yourself. It's really remarkable."

Roy opened his mouth and subconsciously said modestly: "How should I put it, I just ran into trouble."

"Do you feel tired?" Viviana asked suddenly.

Roy was stunned, silent for a moment, and shook his head: "Not bad. It's like starting a new life, much more exciting than before."

This is a completely true statement, but it is slightly different from what Viviana understood.

She just came forward, gently pressed Roy's head, forced him to bury it in her chest, and whispered, "No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like something an assassin would do."

".....You knew?" Roy's voice was a little surprised.

Viviana nodded: "Miss Monique and I are friends. We often discussed you together during your absence. More or less, I was able to notice a little about her and your identities."

"Besides, the current investor of the Sanhua Knights is now Originium Cloud. To some extent, we are colleagues."

Viviana smiled and complained, "Come to think of it, when Selina, the lady you call Lady Black Iron, confirmed your identity, I was indeed surprised and sad for a while. I kept thinking, Mr. Roy's initial goal in approaching me was not to assassinate me, right?"

"No, the mission I received was surveillance. This mission is very common. The Helmetless Alliance keeps surveillance on all the famous competitive knights in Casimir."

Roy argued. Viviana nodded without comment, and then asked with a slight smile:

"So you came to make friends with me? Surveillance is surveillance, but it shouldn't be necessary for the Blue Gold Lord to make friends with the monitored, or for the Knight Killer to make friends with the Tournament Knight, right?"

Roy didn't know how to answer for a moment. Because what Viviana said was indeed correct. Surveillance was a task, making friends was surveillance, and setting up a telescope on the roof of the opposite building to spy was also surveillance. If it was just for the sake of completing the task, Roy could save time and cost, and there was no need to actively approach Viviana.

But how can he answer? He can’t just say, I know you are a good person and you are very beautiful, and you really appeal to me, so I made a “flexible” decision, right?

Seeing that Roy was speechless, Viviana seemed very happy and couldn't help laughing:

"Well, actually, I'm glad Mr. Roy came to meet me. It's just like one of those fairy tales."

Roy knew that Viviana loved literature, poetry, novels, essays, and every kind of literary work she liked. But he didn't know what fairy tale she was talking about.

But Viviana quickly expressed in a low voice what she had imagined in her mind: "The kind of story where a killer falls in love with his target and decides to protect her his whole life."

"Then may I ask, Miss Viviana, why did you hold me like a pillow on your knees? From which story did you learn this? It couldn't be the Legend of the Knights of Eternity..."

As soon as Roy said this, he was pushed out by Viviana. She stood up with a red face and tried her best to deny it:

"I haven't seen that! I haven't seen that!"

How do you know which one I'm talking about if you haven't seen it? I haven't even said a word yet...

Roy didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He rolled his eyes at Viviana, who had said something much more daring and shameful but was embarrassed by this incident, and said:

"Let's talk business. I came to you because I want you to go somewhere with me tonight."

"Where?" Viviana asked puzzledly.

"Elizabeth Hotel." Roy said.

Viviana's heartbeat, which had just calmed down, suddenly soared to the point where it was about to jump out of her throat.

Paper 1: Take the Level 6 test, please take a leave

I have an English Level 6 exam tomorrow, so I’d like to take a leave so that I can cram for it.

Volume 1: Chapter 269 Let's make a promise

"Are you Viviana Droste?"

The queen, who was still luxurious and graceful in her nightgown, was half lying on the sofa. She reluctantly sat up after seeing Viviana, looked up and down at the confused girl in front of her, smiled and stretched out her hand,

"Roy has mentioned you many times in front of me. It is a misfortune for the Droste family to let such a talented warlock wander around."

"No...my parents love me so much that they let me come to Casimir!"

Viviana explained quickly. Although as an illegitimate daughter, she did not get the status and fame of the Leitanian nobility, and had hardly enjoyed any of the nobles' rights, she did not think her parents owed her anything. Under Leitania's harsh family system, they did not treat Viviana differently because of her illegitimate status. Not only did they give her the right to receive an education, but they also sent her to Casimir when she grew up, and Grand Knight Russell helped raise and take care of her. It can be said that they took great pains.

You know, in Leitania, it is almost impossible for a girl of Viviana's status to inherit the family title. The most likely possibility is that she will be given as a marriage partner to those low-level nobles who need to be won over, or simply stay at home as a servant or maid.

Viviana is able to have the life she has today, to have built a career in Casimir and become a Knights star admired by thousands of people. She is very grateful for the efforts made by her parents.

The Queen nodded imperceptibly. She had already known about Viviana's life experience from Roy, so she could guess the reason why the Drost family made such a decision. To be honest, she felt that Viviana had reason to hate her, but as Roy said, Viviana was a sensible child. She did not hate her, but was grateful, which undoubtedly added a lot of points to the Queen's impression.

"I am glad to see that you are grateful instead of resenting your fate. But what I said is of course correct." The Queen said in a gentle and dignified comfort, "The Droste family has indeed suffered a loss. I can see that you have an extraordinary talent for magic. And, as far as I know, you have also created a spell that can counter Roy's Great Wilderness Starfall?"

Viviana looked at Roy awkwardly. She didn't know why Roy would tell this matter to others.

It is not a good thing to leak to outsiders that the Great Wilderness Star Meteorite has a countermeasure, as this will leave Roy vulnerable.

Viviana wanted to deny it at this moment. Although the lady in front of her was kind, she didn't know who she was.

As if she saw the hesitation and worry in Viviana's eyes, the Queen couldn't help but laugh. She turned her gaze to Roy and asked:

"Didn't you tell her who I was?"

Roy spread his hands: "I wanted to give her a surprise. Besides, according to the Official Secrets Act, shouldn't your work here be kept secret?"

"You really know how to take advantage of loopholes." The queen rolled her eyes and complained. Suddenly, her demeanor changed. She solemnly declared in a suddenly low voice, "Don't worry. I am just curious about this spell. I don't covet its power, and I will not use it against your sweetheart. We are allies. I am the lord of your father's lord."

"My father's lord's lord..." Viviana chewed on the word for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening. Her pupils shrank suddenly, and she almost subconsciously wanted to salute, but the Queen stretched out her hand to stop her. She could only say like a frightened deer, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"I'm visiting Leitania, and it should have been reported in the newspaper. As for why I'm here, you should ask why Roy brought you here."
