Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

Roya's words made Tolan not know how to respond. Paralyzing the core energy of the entire city was undoubtedly a crime of treason in Casimir, but in Roya's mouth it sounded as easy and simple as going out to buy groceries.

But when he thought about what this man had done, Toland felt that this was not really a big deal for him. It didn't seem strange that a ruthless man who dared to kill the Grand Duke of Victoria and almost provoked a civil war in Victoria could paralyze a city.

"People can't be generalized. Ahem, seriously... Now is just the preparatory stage of the Knights' Tournament. It hasn't officially started yet. But in half a month, the other three cities will be close to each other in Cavaleliaki, and then connected to form one city. If we want to take action, it's best to do it before they unite, because at that time the underlying industrial structure is most in need of manpower, and we can easily sneak in.

"But before that, we need to create some trouble for the Chamber of Commerce to keep them busy."

Even though he couldn't see anything, it wasn't hard for Roya to guess that the smile on Tolan's face must be asking for a beating. To make it difficult for the Chamber of Commerce to get away, Tolan came up with the plan of kidnapping Viviana and hoped that Roya could accept the commission. But it wasn't hard for him to guess that Viviana didn't want to be as simple as she seemed.

"Tell me, what is Viviana Droste's other identity? I met her today. She's a nice person, but her fame is not enough to attract the attention of the Business Federation. Since you are sure that her disappearance will cause chaos in the Business Federation, it proves that she has other qualities that deserve our attention."

He wrapped his tail around the ghost shark's waist to signal her to stay away and not get so close. Roya had a good impression of Viviana. From her words and actions, it was not difficult to judge that Viviana must have had a good family education. She could not be just an ordinary girl from Leitania as ordinary people could find out.

This was somewhat beyond Tolan's expectations, but he nodded and admitted it calmly. He had originally wanted to wait until Roya got on board before telling him about Viviana's identity, but when he thought of the atmosphere of old friends reuniting between Roya and Cyril today, he felt that he couldn't lie in front of Roya.

"Viviana Droste, her name could actually be Viviana Russell. Her adoptive mother is Ioletta, the current Grand Knight Commander of Casimir and the commander of the Silver Spear Pegasus... Can't you be a little surprised?"

Tolan felt awkward as he didn't hear any surprised sounds, but it was not difficult to blame everyone. Skadi and Ghost Shark were just there to listen in out of boredom, and they didn't care at all about who Ioletta was or what the Grand Knight was. Hongxue, who was an Ursusian and had only cared about literature since childhood, had no idea what the Grand Knight meant to Casimir.

And Roja? Putting aside his identity as the founder of Ursus, his lover was the future Queen Victoria, and his student was a legendary hero of this country. This was not surprising at all. He even had the leisure to recall the memory fragments he saw when he followed Cyril back to the Knights, to think about who Ioletta was.

"Ioleta, the little girl who used to fall down while running can now stand on her own. Time flies."

Now Tolan had nothing to say. He really had nothing to say to this guy who could chat and laugh with his father's generation. However, Roya's memory had not been restored. He could only remember some scattered fragments, but these fragments could always evoke his emotions.

But now Roya could understand why Tolan chose Viviana. Although he didn't understand why the adopted daughter of the Grand Knight of the Supervisory Council wanted to become a commercial knight, if she was lost on the territory of the Commercial Federation, the Supervisory Council would definitely be furious, and the Commercial Federation would definitely be in chaos.

In order to ease his embarrassment, Tolan decided to change the subject.

"And from what I know, Viviana's true identity is actually the child of an important figure in Leitania, but she had to be sent to Casimir for refuge due to family honor issues."

"Is she an illegitimate daughter?"

Roya couldn't help Tolan again. He began to suspect whether Roya relied on Victoria's intelligence network to investigate all of Viviana's affairs. How could he guess this?

"Don't be so surprised. This isn't that hard to guess. If the legitimate heir was really here, why would he be sent to Casimir? You have to know that the relationship between Casimir and Leitania is also tit-for-tat. Sending his daughter here on purpose is probably to prevent her from being discovered. But now that you've said this, I have some ideas."

Tapping his fingers lightly on the sofa, a new plan was gradually taking shape in Luoya's mind, but it all depended on what Tolan planned.

"Tell me, how are you going to kidnap her?"

"That's easy. You should spend more time with her and start with topics she likes. Once you are familiar with her, you can try to ask her out for a meeting. Then we can take the opportunity to kidnap her. Anyway, we will only be locked up for a period of time."

Although the second half of the sentence still emphasized the serious matter, the more Roya listened to Tolan's first half of the sentence, the more he felt it was strange. How could it be like giving advice on dating? Judging from Hong Xue's hand on his thigh and the tip of his tail being bitten by the ghost shark, Roya felt that he was not the only one who thought so.

"Your plan won't work. It's too crude and people will suspect me. I'm not here just to cooperate with you. I can tell from the sound of your voice that you have never done this before."

Luo Ya first rescued his tail from the ghost shark's mouth, and then gently held Hong Xue's hand to prevent his thigh from being hurt again. He really wanted to turn on the light, then the two girls would not do that. By the way, why was Hong Xue jealous? They obviously didn't do anything between them.

As for Skadi, she just listened from beginning to end, and ate the watermelon that Roya bought with a spoon.

"Do you have an idea?"

"Not really. Let me think about it... First, find a way to find all the newspapers related to Viviana, even gossip news. Summarize her behavior patterns and routes, as well as some of her living habits, such as where she likes to go and what she likes to eat. Compare it with the intelligence we investigated before to see how much deviation there is."

Recalling the experience he had heard at the beginning, Roya thought about the possibility of doing so. He should first get the information clearly before taking action. Roya was not sure whether the information given by Tolan was all credible, so it would be better to confirm it again.

"Secondly, we can't really hurt Viviana, but we need to prevent her from showing up, so we need to find a safer place. Let Tolan do this. I will find something else for the No Helmet Alliance to do so that they won't get in the way.

"Finally, we need to choose a location for the operation. We must find a corner that is not under surveillance. And it should not take more than three minutes from subduing Viviana to leaving the scene. If you can't do it, I will do it myself. If it doesn't work, Skadi and Ghost Shark can also help. Then you can find a car to pretend to pass by and transport people. I will tell you what to do later.

"And most importantly, we need to find someone to take the blame. We can't let the Chamber of Commerce realize that it was us who did it. Therefore, there must be witnesses to prove that the person who attacked and abducted Viviana was someone else, such as some uninvited guests from Viviana's hometown."

A girl who could be raised by Grand Knight Casimir, even if she was an illegitimate daughter, her father must be a very important figure in Leitania. Therefore, it is reasonable for people from Leitania to target Viviana, which can reduce the probability of Roya and others being suspected.

"So where do you think we should choose as the location for the operation?"

"How would I know?" Luo Ya spat out a few sparks in frustration. "I can't see anything. It's difficult to remember the map of the whole city by relying on the touch of my fingers. But if you really take action... you can see if there are any high-end musical theaters in this city."

Recalling that the newspaper Tolan gave said that Viviana was a romantic aristocratic girl with literary temperament, Luo Ya estimated that he and Hong Xue might have a lot to talk about, so it was not difficult to guess where such a girl usually liked to go.

"Musical theater?"

"The Leitanian people have a deep love for art, especially music. Plus, she has always loved poetry, so I think she must have a strong interest in poetic drama."

For some reason, when Roya mentioned Leitania, he felt an indescribable dislike in his heart, but not so much resistance and disgust. Tolan and others couldn't follow Roya's words at all. They always felt that what he said seemed to make sense. No one had ever analyzed Viviana's behavior pattern from the point of view that she was a Leitanian.

"And the information you collected even includes all sorts of rumors about her going to bars, but not to the opera house. This proves that she probably really likes going to the opera house, and the ones that are relatively remote. The Business Association is deliberately covering up her whereabouts in this regard. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, so you can just use it as a reference."

Luo Ya said that he felt a little thirsty, so he picked up a cup of tea and drank it. The other people looked at him as if something was wrong, and it was indeed the case.

Skadi listened to what Roya said. Although she didn't understand much, she felt that he was very impressive. Ghost Shark was a little proud. She could keep up with Roya's thinking speed. She was just a little unhappy that Roya didn't let her bite his tail.

Hong Xue was becoming more and more curious about how Luo Ya's train of thought worked. She always felt that everything he said was correct, except that Tolan's perspective was the most normal.

"Hey Luo Ya, you've done this kind of thing a lot before, right?"

Preliminary investigation, action planning, prediction of the target's actions, Tolan felt that if Roya could see, he would be able to point to the map and arrange the normal plan for him clearly. He doesn't look like a novice at all, but clearly a habitual offender.

"No, I have never done this before, but I have learned some industry skills from others, such as the target cannot be hidden in a remote place, and the words should be used to soften and reduce the target's resistance. "

Luo Ya has always considered himself a good person, and he certainly has never done such a thing, but after all, he has seen all kinds of people in prison, and it is inevitable that he has learned some things through osmosis. He knows much more than what he has said.

Tolan didn't know much about Roya's identity. Although he knew that Roya came from Longmen and had a bad reputation, he really couldn't find any relevant information about Roya before that. Not to mention that he just found out today that Roya was even older than Cyril. He felt a little uncomfortable staying with Roya now, so he thought it would be better to leave as soon as possible.

"In that case, I will go collect information first."

"Okay, but you have to keep an eye on Dikaiopolis and make sure nothing happens to him."

"Don't worry, I would do the same without you telling me."

Tolan stood up and then disappeared into the night. This was also his Originium skill. Generally speaking, it was quite useful. At least no one would notice his coming and going.

Luo Ya walked to a wall, stretched out his hand and flicked a flame into the socket, letting the flame burn a wire in the wall, pretending to turn on the light but there was no response.

"Now we can ask someone to fix it, but next time we use this trick we will be suspected. The spy of the Wuzhou League... It's really annoying."

If it weren't for the fact that he needed to use those spies to convey some wrong and misleading information, Luo Ya could open the window and shoot them all down with one arrow.

Although such a power outage would bring some trouble, it was not much of a problem for Luo Ya. He did not need to turn on the lights in his life and he could boil hot water by himself. Hong Xue originally slept with Skadi and Ghost Shark.

But until three minutes after he finished talking, Luo Ya didn't hear any movement behind him. With a little sense, he found that the three girls were still sitting on the sofa.

"You... aren't going to leave?"

"I haven't finished eating the watermelon yet." Skadi pointed at the watermelon in front of her.

"What if you need my help with anything else?" Hong Xue crossed her arms across her chest, looking a little arrogant.

As for the ghost shark, the girl licked the corner of her mouth, her scarlet eyes full of desire.

"I haven't had a more in-depth conversation with you yet. Since you want to rest, I will of course..."

Ghost Shark was dragged out by Skadi and Hongxue before he could finish his words. Just kidding, if they really let this guy spend the night in Roya's room, Ghost Shark would become a mother by this time next year.

The room finally quieted down. Luo Ya finally had a space to think for himself. He had forgotten how long it had been since he had such a quiet time thinking.

But when he thought of what Cyril said, Luo Ya couldn't calm down.

"How much have I forgotten?"

Chapter 162 Arturo

Today is a rare good day for Viviana. The job of receiving Ahmonie was given to Charne, the spokesman selected by the Chamber of Commerce, and she has also accumulated enough points for the preliminaries, so all the time today belongs to her and she can arrange it freely, such as going to the opera house she has loved since childhood. Yesterday, the theater administrator said that a lady with great musical attainments had recently come there, and she was from Lateran. Two days ago, the person in charge of the opera house also said that Viviana would definitely be moved by her music, which made her look forward to it particularly.

However, Luo Ya did not have any time to himself today, but fortunately he still had a space where he could think quietly. He just hoped that the information Tolan had investigated and his own guesses would be correct.

The Marigold Opera House, as an opera house that focuses on the Leithanian style, does not occupy a very large area. According to Toland, this opera house has been opened by the Grand Knight for more than ten years, and the owner is also a genuine Leithanian. It’s just that due to its remote location and the lack of publicity, not many people know about it. Few people in Casimir like poetry and drama, not to mention that this is during the Knights’ Tournament, so even fewer people come to this place.

But Roya estimated that part of the reason behind this might be the conflicts accumulated during the many wars between Casimir and Leitania. Casimir did not like Ursus, and Leitania was not much better than Ursus in the hearts of Casimir people. This led to the fact that although this opera house was impeccable from service to decoration, it was deserted.

However, if the business has been so bad yet it has been able to continue operating for more than ten years, then this opera house cannot be as simple as Tolan's newspaper said. Intuition tells Roya that he may make some other discoveries here. Of course, he may also be involved in some trouble, but there is nothing he can do about it, because this is the place where Miss Viviana is most likely to appear.

"I suddenly found that I was a little uncomfortable without Afodoka around. There's really nothing I can do."

After all, it was a rare trip to the city, and Luo Ya couldn't let Hong Xue be with him all the time, so he gave her a temporary holiday today and let the three girls go out shopping by themselves. It was just the right time to buy some new clothes for Ghost Shark, as the girl had nothing to change into.

He stretched out his hand and prepared to sense the surrounding environment by raising the temperature. Black sparks just appeared from Luoya's fingertips, but he put them away the next moment because he felt a strange consciousness coming towards him from behind, and this consciousness was extremely special among all the people he had felt so far.

Although everyone's consciousness will change with the fluctuation of emotions, everyone has their own unique characteristics. Roya has always relied on distinguishing these characteristics to confirm the identities of different people, such as Tallulah's burning heat, Frost Star's coldness, and Patriot's tenacity and strength. These are all what Roya can distinguish, but this consciousness that is gradually approaching has no characteristics at all, just like a test paper without a name and test number written on it, but judging from Draco's heat sensation, it seems to be a woman.

Sakta, who had long black hair, walked slowly to Roya's side, glanced at the Marigold Opera House, and then noticed that Roya seemed to be hesitating about something. After thinking about it and guessing that she still had half an hour to go to work, she still spoke to Roya.

"Sir, are you in any trouble?"

The voice was particularly ethereal, with a sense of emptiness and nothingness, which made Luo Ya feel subconsciously uncomfortable, just like opening instant noodles and finding that there was not only a fork but also no seasoning. However, Luo Ya could not explain the source of this abnormal feeling for a while, and he would not be hostile to the other party because of it.

"I'm sorry, am I in your way?"

Although the thermal sensor can directly sense the other party's position, Luo Ya temporarily pretended that he could not feel anything, and deliberately showed the blind stick in his hand. In fact, he had been pretending like this since he left the hotel until now.

Seeing the blind stick in Roya's hand and then looking at his eyes, the black-haired Sakta realized that Roya was a blind man, but she didn't notice anything unusual just now and couldn't help losing her composure.

"No, I just saw that you seemed to be hesitating about something. I'm sorry I didn't notice your inconvenience."

"There's nothing to apologize for. I just didn't know where the Marigold Opera House was. Well, this place is more remote than I thought. I can't even find someone to ask for directions."

When the Sakota woman heard that Roya was going to the Marigold Opera House, she seemed stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her face.

"That's a coincidence. The Marigold Opera House is right next door. Shall I take you in?"

"How can this be so embarrassing? You have your own things to do. Just point me in the direction and I'll go by myself."

A symbolic refusal, Roya actually knew where to go. From the beginning, the air around him was filled with the sparks he spread. They attached to the surrounding objects, allowing Roya to accurately distinguish all things. He only needed a thought to make the surroundings burn instantly. That was how he dealt with the Ursus patrol team of several hundred people.

"It's okay. I'm going to the Marigold Opera House too. This is just on my way."

"Are you also interested in Leitania's opera?"

Faced with Roya's doubts, the Sakota woman subconsciously shook her head to deny this statement.

"No, my name is Arturo, and I'm currently performing at this opera house. You're the only audience member besides the theater manager since I came to this city. It seems that you are not from Casimir."

Even among Casimir's nobles, not many people like opera as an art form. Moreover, this alley is a bit remote, and there is only a sign of Marigold Opera House at the door, so this opera house has never had many customers. This is why even when Roya stood at the door of the opera house, Arturo did not think he was here to listen to the performance. Even Arturo himself suspected that the manager had never thought about making money.

"My hometown is really far away. To be honest, I am not a person who understands opera and art. I just wanted to find a quiet place to relax myself. I happened to hear about this place and came here."

Roya was indeed not very interested in opera. Opera was supposed to be about the performance of the actors, but Roya couldn't see. Arturo felt sorry for him, but still subconsciously reached out and held Roya's hand.

"Come, I will show you the way."

"Thank you very much."

Startled by Arturo's initiative, Roya quickly calmed down and followed her into the Marigold Opera House.

Just by walking in, Roya could feel that this opera house must be extraordinary. He could smell the perfume in the air, which was gentle and light, making people feel peaceful and calm. It was fundamentally different from the industrial products that could be seen everywhere in the market. The carpet under his feet seemed to be a luxury item. Sparks that were invisible to the naked eye spread with his footsteps, allowing him to further grasp the situation of the entire opera house.

(The interior is pretty much the same as expected. After all, it was converted from a movie theater so the scale is normal. There seem to be a lot of decorations on the walls. There are about ten people with the consciousness strength... Well, they are not ordinary people.)

Following Arturo's lead, Roya discovered that this opera house was even more unusual than he thought. The consciousness of more than a dozen people was much stronger than that of ordinary people, and they were basically at the level of shield guards. Would people of this level open an opera house here? If it was really that simple, he would go back and find Abrana to reorganize Deep Pool into a logistics company.

Obviously, there was a reason why this Leitanian-style opera house was opened in such a remote place, but what Roya couldn't understand was why it had to be Leitanian-style? It was like copying someone else's test paper during an exam and copying your name as well. If this group of people had been lurking in Casimir for so many years to carry out a mission, then they should at least change their identities to cover it up.

Subconsciously falling into thought, Luo Ya realized that this mission might be more complicated than he thought. If he really did it according to what Tolan said, it would not work at all. Even his plan needed to be modified.

Of course, Arturo didn't know that Roya had already seen the entire opera house inside and out within just a few minutes of entering. He just held Roya's hand and continued walking forward, reminding him to be more careful as he walked.

"Please be careful, there are stairs here, and the performance hall is in front."

"Thank you."

Roya responded, and then fell into deep thought. He was not sure whether Arturo was in the same group as those dozen people. After all, her consciousness was much stronger than those people. This meant that Arturo was very strong. Although she could not threaten Roya, she was also a trouble.

Following Arturo's guidance, Luo Ya came to the front row of the audience and sat down. He noticed that she had a hint of nostalgia and reluctance when she let go of his hand. This made him subconsciously think of Kashena, but he had no impression of the name Arturo. They probably didn't know each other before.

It was not only Roya who felt something was wrong, but also Arturo herself. When she held Roya's hand just now, she actually felt an indescribable joy in her heart, so much so that she subconsciously did not want to let go of his hand. This was really strange.

Since there was no third party present, no one noticed that the halo above Arturo's head actually became slightly brighter when he held Roya.

At the same time, in the Lateran Papal Hall far away from Casimir, a kind old man with gray hair and his beard tied into a braid was preparing to taste his freshly baked cake.

If he were not in the Lateran, perhaps most people's first impression of him would be just that of a kind old grandfather who "looks very kind and might even give gifts." However, as the current Pope of the Lateran, Ivan XI is often not as simple and kind as he appears.

"Mousse cake and cactus tart, paired with a cup of hot cappuccino, is a perfect combination... huh?"

Before he had time to enjoy the snacks, Ivan XI seemed to sense something. He stood up suddenly, closed his eyes, and felt the information he had just received, then opened his eyes in confusion.

"Go to Casimir and bring back someone who has had contact with Arturo, instead of bringing back Arturo himself?"

This was a confusing order, but Ivan XI was keenly aware of the urgency mixed in it, which meant that Arturo had just come into contact with an extremely important person, a person who was closely related to the future of Lateran.

"Come here, help me find Mostima, and also notify Federico to go to Casimir and find Arturo as soon as possible."
