“The people closest to the truth are crazy.”
Volume 1: Chapter 200: Trouble is coming
Even though the conversation was over, the Teutonic Elector still did not take off his heavy, straight armor. He sat alone in the empty parliament hall, which was lit only by a dim chandelier, with his brows furrowed and his eyes blurred. His bony fingers kept tapping on the thick wooden armrests. His mind kept flashing through every detail of his conversation with Roy, trying to find a possible answer, but the expression on his face became more and more tangled and gloomy.
"You damn riddle man, I'll beat him up whenever I see him from now on!"
The corners of his mouth drooped slightly, and he muttered to himself in a very irritable manner. He did not touch Roy, and he could not keep him. If a person with a secret does not have the ability to protect the secret, it will not take long for the land to eat him up. But Roy is still alive, so there is absolutely no reason for him to be trapped. However, today's loss is a bit too heavy, which really makes him feel shocked.
The loss of the old wizard was completely unexpected. There were not many spiritualists even in Terra. This forbidden spell was strictly controlled by all countries and there was no possibility of its widespread circulation. The Demon King who used it so ostentatiously had already been condemned by everyone. Now that his wizard was useless, although it did not hurt his hard power, it was still an unpleasant thing.
Not to mention, he hadn't asked Roy anything yet.
"When fate tells me to know, I will know. Ha." The Teutonic Elector thought with a cold snort and obvious disdain. Fate made him born into a noble family. There would not be many people in Leithania who could be more noble than him. He only needed to do his part and obey the arrangement of fate, and he could live his life as an Elector with wealth and glory. But he never thought about it for a moment.
What he pursued was glory and force, and based on this, the true unification of the entire country of Leitania.
The Mage Nation is so powerful that it doesn't make sense that it needs the diplomatic tactics of two women to maintain its "great power status". If it weren't for the internal divisions and power struggles among the electors, how could Leithania today have not made much progress compared to the Witch King era, but instead declined day by day?
How can Leitania be managed with this group of insects? In Teutonic's heart, he has never been proud of his status as the Elector Emperor. He is proud of his identity as a Leitanian, and he also wants to lead Leitania to a new height. The real glory is to be feared by all nations!
Neither Victoria nor Ursus dared to look down on Leitania. Compared with the fear of Leitania's madmen in the Witch King era, they now felt a deep respect for her.
None of these crazy ideas have anything to do with the current Leitania, and any of them, if leaked, would be considered a step backwards in history. None of them can be regarded as respecting his fate as the Elector. But he just wants to do it, by himself! There is no success that does not depend on me, but who else can do it but me.
To this end, he can accept anyone as an ally, and can also regard anyone as an enemy.
"There is no truth that I cannot know."
Standing up and walking down the podium, the Elector walked through the empty corridor and pushed open the door of the parliament tower. He ordered his guards:
"Send someone to keep an eye on the Rhodes Island office."
"I'm not just talking about the people in Violet City. I'm also talking about the people in my territory and our spies in other Elector territories. Keep an eye on them. I want to see what tricks they can come up with."
........
Standing in Rhodes Island's office, Roy finally understood why Rhodes Island always called itself a "small medical company".
Rhodes Island's offices in various places are usually staffed with only one or two employees to deal with minor individual or small-scale infection incidents, and have almost no ability to deal with large-scale infection incidents. Roy found it hard to imagine how Miss Ye Tan had solved so many problems when she was stationed alone in Violet City.
At least in the past two days, Roy saw that she was busy as hell. This was even after Margaret joined in and helped share some of the simple cases and rescue work.
Every day when Roy woke up, he saw Miss Yetan hurriedly leaving. Every lunchtime, the only person sitting across from him was Miss Skadi, who knew nothing about mineral disease treatment. Every afternoon, he could see an endless stream of patients with injuries or stones growing on their bodies crowded downstairs of the office, wailing as they slowly walked along the line. Late at night, Roy could see a petite figure alone in the living room, setting up a night light, counting the amount of medicine consumed today, and updating the physical condition of the patients.
Roy wanted to help, but just like Skadi, Roy had no idea about the treatment of mineral disease and was a complete layman. It can be said that if Rhodes Island was really an ordinary medical company, Kal'tsit's reason for rejecting Roy would be extremely justified: You can't treat diseases, and we don't need a champion to be a security guard.
Moreover, Roy could clearly feel that the observation and surveillance of himself and the Rhodes Island office were becoming more and more frequent.
There was no need to think, it must have been the Teutonic Elector who ordered it. Although Roy had successfully fooled him with the [Kal'tsit's Riddle] module, this nobleman who looked suspicious would definitely not let him off so easily. Riddles are something that some people will say "I understand" after hearing, while others will say "Fuck you". It seems that this Elector is not well-educated enough, and it is the latter.
At times like this, it is better to stay out of the spotlight and show up as little as possible. Roy also doesn't want to cause trouble for Miss Yetan.
It was another afternoon, and Roy walked to the window as usual, wanting to see how many patients were waiting for their appointments today. He stuck his head out and unexpectedly found the street empty.
"Ok?"
Roy snorted in confusion. Sitting at the dining table, Ye Tan, who had just stuffed a slice of sausage into his mouth, asked curiously:
"What's wrong? Are there a lot of people here today?"
She rarely had the opportunity to eat in the office. After the explosion, the dignitaries living on Simon Avenue moved collectively to the core city or the west district. This required her to travel across half the city for every diagnosis and follow-up. Most of the time, she had to bring her lunch with her when she went out and could not eat a hot meal.
Roy shook his head: "No, no one."
"Ding dong."
The doorbell suddenly rang, and the sound seemed to refute what Roy said.
Roy turned his head in surprise and looked towards the door. For some reason, he had a premonition that trouble was coming.
"What's wrong? You don't want to open the door?" Margaret blinked, stood up and wanted to open the door.
But Roy, who was standing by the window, took the lead and motioned Margaret to continue eating, and walked towards the door and pressed the door handle.
"click"
The door opened, and outside the door was a well-dressed blonde lady. There was a strange light in her eyes as she looked at Roy.
Volume 1: Chapter 201 Queen: I Became a Spy
The blonde noblewoman in front of him was dressed elegantly and gorgeously. A streamlined white evening dress outlined her tall and slender figure, paired with a fluffy white feather hat, embellished with sparkling diamonds and jewels. Her long golden hair was as smooth and soft as Skadi's, and even though it looked casually draped over her shoulders, it did not affect her extraordinary beauty at all. Her skin was slightly pale, and her bright blue eyes were filled with an indescribable aggressive gaze, giving people a mysterious and noble feeling.
After meeting Roy's eyes, her delicate face seemed to be slightly moved, and her left hand wrapped in a tulle glove was slightly raised, as if she was a queen from a fairy tale wonderland, receiving courtiers who came to pay homage to her, exuding an intoxicating majesty and charm.
Roy could confirm that this was a noble, and definitely not a fake noble from Violet City, but a real noble who was born into a famous family in Leitania and belonged to a powerful family.
Because, many things can be disguised, but temperament cannot be faked. It requires a long period of nurturing and cultivation in the environment. If you rashly replace someone, people who don't know you may only find it a little strange, but people who are familiar with you will definitely see the flaws. Unless you are a shapeshifter who can accurately simulate every personality.
This is why the Sarkaz Royal Court is hated by everyone. No one wants to wake up one day and find that the wife sleeping next to him has suddenly been replaced by another monster, right?
Looking at the blonde woman who raised her hand and waited quietly, Roy took a deep breath, and while sighing about where this trouble had come from, he bowed slightly and kissed her hand according to the etiquette of his previous life. Without caring whether he did it right or not, he stood up and asked:
"Ma'am, who are you looking for?"
"Mr. Roy, in Leitania, when you kiss a lady's hand for the first time, it's best not to kiss her directly, as this will make the lady feel that this is a hint."
The blonde lady in front of him smiled and patiently explained,
"Aren't you going to let me in first?"
Miss Yetan, who heard the door open but saw no one coming in, also raised a puzzled voice at this moment: "Who is outside the door, Mr. Roy?"
Roy glanced at her, turned aside and said:
"Thank you for your guidance. Please come in."
The woman lifted the hem of her evening gown and slowly stepped into the small room. Inside the room, Miss Yetan, who had just been eating, had already brought out the medical testing equipment and piled it on the table, obviously ready to start working. Facing the first "patient" who arrived, she adjusted the equipment while looking up and asking:
"Ma'am, where do you feel...uncomfortable...?"
Yetan's voice seemed to stutter suddenly, and his expression suddenly became horrified, as if he had seen some incredible scene and was greatly frightened, and he sat down on the chair:
"Your Majesty the Queen?"
Roy's footsteps, which were following closely, suddenly stopped and he looked at the blonde woman and Yetan blankly.
Margaret, who was pouring water for two people and preparing to listen in, staggered and was almost scalded by the hot water.
Even Skadi's posture as she sat slumped on the sofa had changed slightly. She changed from the ungentlemanly Ge You-like posture to a leaning posture, and then she seemed to sense that something was not right in the atmosphere and sat up straight.
"Ah, I've been recognized."
The blonde queen raised her hand, covered her mouth and chuckled.
"I thought my disguise would be effective. Can you promise me not to spread the news of my stay here? I am travelling in secret this time."
You're traveling in secret. I thought you didn't do anything disguised. People at least wear a veil when they act, but you don't even wear a veil. Your clothes, your temperament and your conversation all show that you are a noble. Is this considered a secret trip?
Roy didn't believe a word of what the Leitanian nobles said. He had learned nothing in these days. The most he learned was to shirk responsibility and to be hypocritical. What they were best at was to use euphemisms that seemed to make sense but were actually nonsense to demonstrate their true bloody purpose, leaving you to guess and understand. They called this "politeness".
Considering that this queen had no disguise and her identity could be identified by Yetan at a glance, there was no doubt that her visit this time also had a deeper purpose.
Who is she performing for?
........
Violet City, the Elector's Estate.
The Teutonic Elector liked to keep pets, especially the three tusks he raised. They were of excellent breed, half a person's height, and majestic and powerful. He affectionately called them the three generals and they would stay with him wherever he went.
At this moment, just after lunch, he sat on a bench in the garden, holding a rapier, cut a piece of the roasted camel steak prepared beside him, and threw it to the tooth beast at his feet. He watched the three tooth beasts swarming over, fighting for the meat, and in a blink of an eye, they had eaten up all the meat, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.
While feeding his pet, he did not forget to check on Roy's recent movements and asked the attendant accompanying him:
"I haven't seen today's surveillance report yet. Is there anything special? Tell me about it."
The attendant was an old servant who had been with him since he inherited the title. He was trusted and had the right to review letters and documents. He then took out a report summary that he had prepared long ago and summarized it:
"As of noon, there has been no new developments. Roy remains indoors. Most of the people received by the Rhodes Island office are residents and injured people affected by the Simon Avenue incident. We have found out the identities of the other two people in the Rhodes Island office. The owner of the office, Erica (Ye Tan), is the daughter of a ruined noble. Her father was affected by the Hussite Rebellion in the Electorate of Bohemia and was slandered as an accomplice. He then committed suicide after failing in the political struggle. His only daughter, Erica, was then exiled to Violet City."
"We may be able to take advantage of this. Send someone to try to contact her when she is out seeing patients. We may be able to plant a nail inside Rhodes Island and see what this organization is planning."
The Elector considered this, then nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Another operator, Margaret, whose original name was Margaret Linguang."
"Lin Guang!"
Hearing this surname, Teutonic's expression became serious, with a hint of vigilance and awe in his eyes.
"She is a descendant of Cyril Linguang?"
"To be precise, it's his granddaughter. She won the Knights' Tournament four years ago, but was subsequently accused of being infected and exiled. Her whereabouts have been unknown recently. But for some reason, in recent months, rumors of her love affair with Roy have begun to circulate in Casimir. The specific source seems to be an article written by Casimir's Red Wine Newspaper, which is said to have been provided by members of the Linguang family. After that, the literature became unstoppable and has become the hottest literary topic in Casimir. However, according to our investigation, there is no evidence to show that Margaret and Roy had any contact in childhood."
"Their first recorded meeting should have been in the battle against the Ursus Third Army not long ago. Legend has it that it was Margaret's arrival that stimulated Roy's potential, allowing him to complete an unprecedented super spell and destroy the Ursus war fortress in one fell swoop. But I think most of it is exaggerated."
The Elector nodded. He agreed.
If the war fortress was so easy to destroy, it would not be called the strongest war weapon. The greater possibility was that Roy accidentally hit the Ursus ammunition depot, or something happened inside the war fortress itself.
He paused and asked, "Who is the other one? The silver-haired girl who stayed outside the building when I summoned Roy that day, who is she?"
Unexpectedly, the attendant shook his head apologetically: "Not sure. We haven't collected any information about her."
The Elector frowned and said, "Keep investigating. It's impossible for a person to be completely without an identity or trace. We must not relax our surveillance on Roy. My intuition tells me that there will be results soon."
If Roy is really an agent sent by Xuantie to carry out a confidential mission involving the "truth", then he must keep in touch with Xuantie. Especially after I met him, he couldn't help but report the relevant situation to Xuantie. The intercity network between Violet City and the Great Knight Territory is not smooth. Based on the knowledge that the Grand Elector knows about Xuantie, he is not the kind of person who would choose the intercity network, which is under constant surveillance, to transmit confidential information.
Then, the messenger will definitely appear, it is just a matter of time.
"Deng Deng."
There was a knock on the iron gate of the garden. The servant bowed slightly to Teutonic and turned to walk towards the gate. Soon he came back with another piece of white paper full of words. He glanced at the white paper and frowned deeply, with an expression of surprise that could not be concealed on his face.
"What's the matter?" asked the Elector.
The attendant hesitated for a moment and said, "The latest information from the surveillance personnel is that just now, an unknown person entered the surveillance area and visited Roy."
The Elector's eyes lit up and he was delighted.
Speak of the devil, and he's here. Hasn't I finally caught the secret sentry that Xuantie planted in Letania?
Now, the initiative of the negotiation is back in my hands! Roy, wait and see how I deal with you, the Riddler.
He stood up quickly, buttoned his collar, and asked impatiently:
"who is it?"
Anyone who has the ability to transmit information between the two countries must not be of too low a status and must have sufficient resources to mobilize.
Maybe it's a noble I know? The Elector thought.
Then the attendant replied with a subtle expression:
"Her Majesty the Queen."
"what?"
PS: Let’s go and play the new plot.
Ines loves me, and she fired ten shots at once.
Volume 1: Chapter 202: The End of Civilization
"Would you like to be more direct in your conversation, or would you prefer to be more tactful?"
The elegant blonde woman gently placed her hands on her knees, intertwining her fingers or tapping the armrests of the chair, looking elegant and confident. Her face was calm and peaceful, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed a sense of confidence and calmness. Her eyes were clear and bright, with a strong curiosity, as if they could see through time and people's hearts. But all these could not conceal her noble temperament that seemed to be born with God. It was a kind of metaphysical force field that people in high positions often have. Some people would call it affinity, and some people would call it oppression. What Roy felt from this blonde queen was "mystery."
A queen of Leitania suddenly visited a small private enterprise office in a remote city. From the looks of it, she was well prepared for a private visit. This was definitely an uninvited guest. Fortunately, she didn't seem to have any bad intentions. The deep vigilance in her eyes was only directed at Roy. Moreover, she sounded very eager to communicate, which made Roy feel relieved.
It would be good if we could talk. What I'm afraid of is that we would be like those barbaric Ursus people, who would rush forward without even talking. Roy doesn't have the confidence to deal with an entire country alone.
He was lost in thought, still thinking about how to deal with the familiar queen who was taking the main seat in front of him, when he heard her take the initiative to lead the conversation:
"It seems that my arrival has made you..." She glanced at the other people in the room except Skadi and smiled ashamedly, "and your friends feel a little pressured. This is my fault. How about this, our conversation will be in the form of questions and answers. You ask me a question, no matter what it is, I will answer you, but you will do the same in return. If at any time you don't want to answer, we can stop asking questions immediately."
"As a token of my apology, how about I let you ask a question first?"
The blonde queen made a solemn promise with a confident smile on her face. Roy frowned slightly, not understanding where her confidence came from.
Have you ever thought that I don't want to play this game with you? You are the Queen. Which of your questions is not a state secret? If I ask them, will you let me leave Leitania?
As if she had seen through Roy's thoughts, the Queen kept smiling and answered with foresight before Roy opened his mouth:
"rest assured."
These are two very simple words, but they carry a weight of a thousand gold.
