Margaret had unknowingly stood behind Roy, stretched out her hand and pressed Roy's shoulder, as if she wanted to help him share the pressure. She nodded to him, bent down, and whispered in his ear:
"It's okay to ask. If there is any problem, I have been accumulating it for several days. This time it will definitely be brighter than last time."
It sounded a little bit frivolous, but Roy still understood the deep meaning of Margaret's words. She was emphasizing that her Originium skills could be released at any time to cooperate with Roy. It was just that she didn't know whether the blonde queen on the other side had the means to eavesdrop, so she used this obscure way of expression.
He glanced at Margaret in surprise, and got a positive look from her. Roy couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Apart from anything else, if the queen on the other side really had some means of eavesdropping, then Margaret's words must have been heard by her. Then the relationship between Margaret and Roy would really be known abroad, and it was officially certified by Queen Leitania. For the Linguang family, who always valued honor and reputation, how much sacrifice is this? It's hard to believe that this came from Margaret Linguang, who couldn't help blushing and explaining that she and Roy were just friends and future colleagues when Miss Ye Tan teased her a little.
Feeling somewhat touched and happy, Roy took a deep breath, chose to speak, and raised the first question that he was most concerned about and the most important one:
"Why would the Queen of Leitania travel thousands of miles from the Queen's Voice to such a remote town and find a small office of a private pharmaceutical company?"
Having anticipated this question, the blonde queen answered without even a pause:
"Because I was guided by the prophecy."
"Ok?"
A moment of silence passed, and Roy was still waiting for the Queen's next words, but he only received a half-smile in response from the Queen.
Roy reacted and couldn't help but choke.
Good man, you call this an answer? Guided by a prophecy, what prophecy, what kind of guidance, who made the prophecy, why did the prophecy point to this place, how important is it that you personally made this trip. When one question was answered, countless more questions suddenly appeared. Sure enough, I shouldn't have believed that you Terran Riddlers could have any "straightforward" way of communication.
Roy also knew that this was a way of speaking that could guide the topic in the direction he wanted. To break this guidance, he could either resolve the doubts or change the topic directly.
Considering that this was just the first free question, Roy did not choose to change the subject directly, but continued to ask:
"What is the content of the prophecy?"
The Queen's expression became more serious, and a trace of pain seemed to flash across her pupils. She slowly replied, "Doomsday."
Doomsday? Whose doomsday is it? Why is there a doomsday? When will it come? And in what form will it happen?
Another series of potential questions that aroused curiosity. Roy stared at the queen for a few seconds with his mouth twitching slightly. She obviously didn't intend to continue talking. He resisted the urge to stop the game and said gentlemanly:
"Two questions, it's your turn."
The Queen nodded politely, a smile reappeared on her face, and asked:
"As far as I know, Mr. Roy, you have had extraordinary experiences since your debut in Casimir, beyond imagination. You have achieved astonishing results in the business world and on the battlefield. In the political field, you also have a close relationship with the famous knight family of Casimir, the Linguang family. There are also various scandals between you and the brilliant knight Margaret Linguang..."
As the Queen spoke, her eyes turned to Margaret, with a hint of admiration and smile in them.
She really heard it.
Roy understood, and sensing Margaret's quickened breathing behind him, he quickly interrupted:
"Please ask directly, Your Majesty."
The Queen shrugged slightly and said, "I want to know the source of your rapid rise and legendary achievements."
Roy's expression remained unchanged. He did not get nervous because the Queen's question directly involved Roy's module system. Because there were too many ways to answer this question. Moreover, this question-and-answer game did not restrict lying. Even if the Queen had a lie detector that could identify lies or was involved in the field of mental magic, Roy had countless ways to cover up this question without lying.
Moreover, the Queen's answer just now gave him a lot of inspiration.
He cleared his throat and said, "It's the end of the world."
As he spoke, he looked at the Queen's slightly stunned expression and added contentedly:
"This land, this civilization, is doomed."
Once this land is opened, can you withstand the ten years of Kal'tsit?

Volume 1: Chapter 203 Watch your throat, Queen
The end of civilization.
The blonde queen fell into deep thought, carefully chewing over every word and even the grammar in Roy's words.
At her level, it was impossible for her to treat Roy's repeated emphasis on "doomsday" as a simple repetition of her answer. It naturally contained a lot of information and many meanings, and it was worth careful analysis and thinking about word by word.
The fact that Roy mentioned the end of the world proved a crucial factor - he knew the end of the world existed and was coming. Otherwise, he would not have come out so hastily without any preparation. As a result, every step he took afterwards, whether it was to increase his fame by winning the Knight Competition Championship or to defeat the Ursus Third Army to attract Terra's attention, seemed like walking on thin ice. If he was not careful, he might fall into the abyss.
Knowing that the end of the world is coming, he chose to come out now, which means that he already has a way to fight against the end of the world, or at least, he has a clue to fight against the end of the world. Otherwise, in the dark, there is no need for a "foresighted person" to expose himself like this, which will put him in a dangerous situation. Because the doomsday scene that the Queen saw in the portrait of the Witch King was not only floods, natural disasters or strange monsters, but also a vast army of demons.
He never had any expectations for the moral standards of the demons, or the Sarkaz, especially after knowing that they might also become one of the factors causing the doomsday. It was really slim to expect them to show leniency to Roy who might affect their "conspiracy".
The third is the prefix of doomsday in Roy's mouth.
“The end of civilization.”
She whispered to herself. Countless speculations surged in her mind. Why did the word "civilization" have to be added to the word "doomsday"? What was the definition of this civilization? Was it broad, referring to the modern social system, Originium industry, and abstract lifestyle established by the Terrans, or was it narrow, referring to countries like Leitania and Victoria that had etiquette and cultural standards, as opposed to Sargon, Bolivar, or the bloody, barbaric culture and country of the demon clan that had destroyed more than 3,000 countries?
Does the end of this civilization mean that everything will be reduced to ashes and cease to exist, or does it simply mean that barbaric countries will conquer civilization and plunge the earth into a barbaric era of eating raw meat and drinking blood?
All of these things can raise a corresponding question, but fundamentally, the Queen still remembers the purpose of her special trip here.
Why does Roy know all this, and what role does he play in everything that might happen in the future?
The Queen sat up straight, and with anticipation and even some unseemly nervousness, she asked:
"The reason you appear here is also for Doomsday?"
Roy nodded.
Although I don't know what you were thinking about during the time you were silent just now, but if the doomsday you mentioned is the same as the doomsday I mentioned, then you are right. I am here for the doomsday.
For Roy, there are not many people on this land who can reveal secrets to him when they first meet, and who he can trust at the same time. Kal'tsit is one of them. The others, whether it is Little Platinum Sintelaia, Old Black Iron, Monique, Mauna or Viviana, their relationship with Roy is based on mutual understanding after time. Only Kal'tsit, Roy is confident, even if they have never met each other before, as long as they have contact and can have a night of negotiation, with Kal'tsit's judgment and action, she will definitely respond to the coming of the end of the world.
Although this reaction may not be completely correct, such as when she led the four-nation coalition to destroy the rebuilt Kazdel. But it is better than Roy's efforts alone. Moreover, the old lynx knows more than Roy. Roy is just a reader who listens to the interpretation outside the story, while Kal'tsit is a character who has personally experienced the story. Even if they are reading the same text, Kal'tsit can definitely generate more associations and thoughts than Roy.
Roy's nod was reflected in the Queen's eyes. Her bright eyes suddenly dimmed for a moment, as if she was distracted for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
The end of the world is near, and Leitania is not immune to it. This undoubtedly makes her feel a little sad and tragic.
After all, she, the queen, had just begun. She still had a lot of things to do, and after she had finished what she had to do, there were still many things she wanted to do. But now, what lay before her was a doomsday knell that was approaching midnight. Every shake of the pointer affected thousands of lives.
As a queen, she couldn't completely believe all the prophecies given by the witch king's portrait. But sometimes, a sword that you don't know whether it is hanging over your head or when it will fall is more suffocating than a sword that you can see.
Fortunately, Roy was still sitting opposite her. She had already thought of her next question. She wanted to confirm how long it would take for the predicted doomsday to come.
But now, it's time for Roy to ask questions.
The queen stretched out her palm and made a gesture of invitation to Roy.
Roy had nothing to ask. She didn't know much about Leitania, and the most she knew was the existence of the Black Key Chalk and the remnants of the Witch King, that the Lateran defector Arturo was temporarily living here, and that Lin Guang's parents had left traces in Leitania.
Most of this information, even if Roy asked, would probably not get any effective answers. For example, why were Lin Guang's parents here, and where were they now? Even if he asked the Queen, she might not be able to give an answer - her management of various parts of Leitania was basically in a position where the imperial power did not go down to the city. It would be better to go to the local tower to find the local snake warlock there to inquire about this matter.
After choosing for a while, Roy found that there was really nothing to ask, so he decided to do the Queen a favor.
He coughed lightly, and his gaze turned from the distant to the dignified and elegant, graceful and noble, but with a deep frown and an indissoluble melancholy, and he lowered his voice and reminded softly:
"Have you ever felt any discomfort in your throat recently?"
Throat? The queen was stunned at first, and subconsciously wanted to raise her hand and touch her smooth neck. But halfway up, she felt that it was not in accordance with etiquette, so she forced it down. She just blinked in confusion.
She hadn't felt any problems with her throat recently, so why did Roy ask this question? What was he implying?
Throat... Could he be referring to the sound? The music? Was he hinting at Leitania's musical magic?
The Queen seemed to have understood something. She admired and appreciated Roy's obscurity. Leitania's musical spells were often released through various special musical instruments. If he directly mentioned a certain instrument, it would be easy for her to mistakenly think that he was referring to a warlock who used such an instrument. So he specifically used the voice, the most primitive innate instrument of mankind! So that she would never think wrongly.
Awesome. As expected, he has too many secrets.
However, he asked if there was something wrong with my throat. Was this a hint for me to pay attention to my spells?
But there is nothing wrong with my spell. The Queen thought to herself, and repeated the words she had just spoken, discovering the blind spot again.
She said "you guys".
Who among you can stand on equal footing with the noble Queen of Leitania and share the pronoun of "them"?
Another Queen. What could possibly have gone wrong with her magic?!
The Queen's scalp went numb for a moment. This was no trivial matter. A Queen's spell had problems. For the country of Leitania, this was a terrible secret that could lead to unrest or even war. It had to be completely and thoroughly blocked. Even if the news could not be completely blocked, it had to be spread within the smallest possible range. Otherwise, accidents could happen at any time.
Even I didn't know about this yet, but Roy already knew about it and even gave me some hints.
How terrifying! The Queen even began to wonder if there was a spy of Roy around her. Otherwise, could he be omniscient and almighty?
Years of training and cultivation allowed her to maintain a gentle smile on her face, without showing any sign of misbehavior. She just looked at Roy deeply and replied:
"I'll pay more attention. Thank you."
Roy nodded. Judging from the Queen's expression, she had probably already figured it out in her mind.
The Queen's loss of voice was a big problem for Leitania. Roy didn't know the exact extent of the loss of voice, whether she couldn't even speak or just couldn't cast spells. But she knew that with the end of the world approaching, the loss of voice of a great warlock was not necessarily a good thing for this land.
I don't know if I can help, but I'll just give you a reminder.
It's the Queen's turn.
Putting aside the distracting thoughts in her mind, she asked according to the plan: "How long will it take until the end of the world?"
"Hello!"
Unable to hold back a sneeze, Skadi pinched her nose in confusion. She seemed to be wondering, could a deep-sea hunter also get sick?
Roy retracted his gaze towards Skadi and answered righteously from the bottom of his heart:
"I do not know."
“But I’m doing the best I can.”
"If possible, I hope my existence will prevent the end of the world from happening. If not..."
"I'm betting my life on this. I'll delay it for as long as I can."
He didn't want this taciturn little killer whale who would secretly buy medicine for her to eventually become Ishamara who sings the waves.
As the last knight, he didn't really want to shout "Kill the sea" from the bottom of his heart.
The Queen seemed to have noticed something and looked towards the direction Roy had just looked at, but before she reached that direction, she suddenly withdrew her gaze, stood up, and said regretfully:
"I owe you a question."
The next second, there was a knock on the door. A sonorous voice said loudly outside the door with a piercing voice:
"Your Majesty, the Grand Elector Teutonic has already arranged a banquet at the Citizens' Council to welcome you."
"Rhode Island and Mr. Roy were also invited."
Volume 1: Chapter 204: Heading Towards Trouble
Leitania, Violet City, suburbs, Rhodes Island.
Control center.
The control center of this high-speed land battleship was filled with a fresh metallic smell. The light was neither bright nor dim, and it steadily illuminated every corner. When Kal'tsit stepped into it, several operators were operating the console in an orderly manner, monitoring the surrounding sandstorms, Originium, and natural disasters that could occur at any time from all angles. Their movements were concise and quick, and they pressed each button skillfully and turned each handle lightly, seemingly controlling this huge battleship effortlessly.
This is of course not the case for all high-speed warships. In fact, the operation methods required for such a high-speed warship are quite complex, and it often takes years of professional training to master them. But on Rhodes Island, even ordinary operators can take turns to operate in areas with lower risks. This phenomenon is mainly due to the real core of Rhodes Island, the intelligent operating system called [PRTS].
PRTS is the real core of Rhodes Island. Its computer room is also located in the core area of the entire Rhodes Island. Its external image, which is used by operators, is a row of LCD screens covering the entire wall in front of the control center. Various data and images are displayed on them. The radar screen with countless squares and logos displays various information about the surrounding area, from the surrounding wind force level to the location and speed of the enemy fleet. There is also a huge map screen, which usually displays the map of Terra, but in the past, it also displayed the overall layout of the battlefield and marked the locations of allies and enemies.
Kal'tsit had long been accustomed to all of this, but every time she walked in here, she would still unconsciously think of the special display screen in the center of the console, and the four people who had once stood around the sand table under that display screen.
"Greetings, Doctor Kelsey."
The operator's voice tore Kal'tsit out of her flashing memories. She sighed silently, turned her head, and looked at Ms. Pero on duty not far away. She stood up, saluted her, nodded slightly, and replied:
"Ms. Dubin, this is Rhode Island."
Du Bin was slightly startled, lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, and said as if he was sighing:
"Yes, this is Rhode Island. It was my mistake to bring Bolivar's habits here. Sorry. Dr. Kelsey, are you here to check on me?"
Kal'tsit replied: "I want to know the current distance between Rhodes Island and Violet City."
Dubin didn't even glance at the display screen, but reported directly: "Rhodes Island has entered Violet City. We are expected to arrive at the docking area of Violet City tomorrow morning."
Kelsey nodded and asked, "Ye Tan, is there anything special going on with Margaret?"
Both Yetan and Margaret applied to Rhodes Island to return to the island. Yetan was very busy at the office and hadn't had a vacation for several months. The last time she wrote to me, she said that Violet City had been peaceful recently, and now she had finally found an opportunity to take a break. She planned to use up half of her accumulated vacation time in one go and go on a good trip. As for Margaret, she had originally taken a temporary leave, so it was normal for her to want to come back now. However, when Kal'tsit wrote out the leave note, she had never expected that Margaret, whose fame and identity were already very sensitive, would not only not calm down after returning from a trip to Casimir, but her fame would even become even greater! It was outrageous!
I wonder if there will be any hidden dangers if Margaret returns to the island. I always feel a little uneasy recently.
