Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

Of course, Roya had no idea what was happening in Lateran, as he was still thinking about the opera house.

"What exactly happened?"

If it was said that the people in this opera house were all undercover agents sent by Leitania, then Roya would not believe it. The Marigold Opera House had existed in the territory of the Grand Knight for more than ten years. If it was really necessary to be undercover for such a long time, then they should at least go undercover in the Supervisory Commission or the Chamber of Commerce. It is impossible for them to hide in such a remote corner for more than ten years. This group of people must have other intentions.

But they deliberately decorated this opera house in such a gorgeous way according to the style of Leithia. Aren't they afraid of attracting Casimir's attention? You know, Viviana comes here quite often. She... um, Viviana?

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through Roya's mind. How could he have forgotten Viviana just now? According to the information Roya had obtained before, Viviana was also sent to Casimir to be adopted more than ten years ago, which was less than a year before the establishment of this opera house. Moreover, she was a frequent visitor here. Combined with the fact that her father seemed to be a big man in Leitania, Roya gradually had a guess in his mind.

This opera house might have been built specifically for Viviana, and the people here were all sent by Leitania to protect her. But building this opera house specifically for Viviana alone shows that Viviana's father not only has a high status, but also dotes on her very much. However, it is also true that the fact that the Grand Knight can help adopt Viviana can explain a lot.

It can only be said that poverty still limits Roya's imagination. Then Casimir probably acquiesced to the existence of this opera house. The Chamber of Commerce and the Supervisory Commission also deliberately helped to cover up the relevant information, making this opera house exclusive to Viviana. Roya even suspected that he was the only guest besides Viviana in all these years.

Just as Luo Ya was sighing that the lives of these nobles were so luxurious that it was incomprehensible, he keenly sensed the approach of a consciousness and the faint scent of marigold perfume on the other person.

"Um, Ms. Viviana? I didn't expect to see you here."

The moment Viviana appeared, Luo Ya realized that his guess was half right. On the contrary, Viviana did not expect to meet Luo Ya here. She was not sure when she saw him from behind just now.

"Good morning, sir. It seems that what you said that day has come true. Fate has arranged an inevitable reunion for us."

Viviana did not sit in her favorite seat, but chose to sit next to Luoya. Thinking back to what was said that day, she subconsciously agreed with this statement. Perhaps there was indeed some kind of wonderful fate between her and Luoya, but there was one thing Viviana did not understand.

"How did you know it was me?"

"Nothing. Although I am blind, my other senses are more sensitive than others. You have always maintained a coordinated pace, and the sound of your high heels when you landed is also very recognizable. Of course, the most important thing is the smell of your perfume. I have never seen anyone else wearing it in Casimir for such a long time. Did you mix it yourself?"

Surprised that the blind Roya had such insight, Viviana nodded slightly, feeling much better than before.

"I have some hobbies in this area, so I can mix my own perfumes. Do you also know about this?"

"I also know a little bit about blending, but not about perfume."

Mixing perfume? This is something that Luo Ya really doesn't know. He only knows how to mix various bombs and poisons. No one in prison teaches this.

This is not such a disappointing thing, Viviana was thinking, and suddenly she found that she didn't even know the name of the person next to her.

"Come to think of it, I still don't know your name. Please allow me to formally introduce myself first. I am Viviana Droste, and I am only an independent knight now."

"Roya is also an independent knight. Maybe we can meet on the field."

With a relaxed smile on his face, Luo Ya thought that he had finally caught the fish. The next thing he needed to do was to have more contact with Viviana. The area around the opera house certainly could not be used as a place to attack, so he had to find another way. If that didn't work, he would have to give up the part of the plan related to Viviana.

But generally speaking, there are not many problems. If the purpose is not to divert the attention of the Chamber of Commerce, then Roya can paralyze the core power of this city by himself. Draco's destructive power is not just talk.

Chapter 163 The Chosen Typical

For Ahmonie, this mission should have been very easy. After all, all she had to do was to reach a cooperation between Deep Pool and the Chamber of Commerce. Even if cooperation could not be reached, Mandra had already sent people to contact the Sherag people directly. All Ahmonie had to do was to make the grand dukes mistakenly believe that Deep Pool really needed the help of the Chamber of Commerce.

Originally, all she had to do was to follow Viviana around for the next few days, travel on public funds, negotiate with a representative of the Chamber of Commerce, and finally return to Victoria. But now her workload has undoubtedly increased.

"Why is that person here? Deep Pond doesn't really need to cooperate with the Business Federation. With the support of Grand Duke Stafford and other forces, First... Abrana can now be said to have established a firm foothold."

Ahmoni slapped her own mouth lightly. She had only joined Deep Pool for a short time but she was already so skilled at calling him leader. She was a double agent and not really as completely loyal to Deep Pool as Mandrake. It would be bad if she was as completely integrated as Golding. She had agreed to help with some things, but now her concern for Deep Pool was almost catching up with Mandrake.

"Assuming that the person I saw was really my boss whom I had never met, what was the reason for his appearance in Casimir?"

The appearance of Roya could not be a coincidence. Shenchi must have other intentions towards Casimir. Ahmoni suspected that it was a secret that she could not access yet, but she hesitated about whether to investigate Roya's plan. No one could predict what Shenchi's chief secretary would do. As a double agent, Ahmoni was most worried about dealing with people like Roya. She even suspected that Mandela had known her identity for a long time, but just saw through it and didn't say it.

"Anyway, let's try to find out something during this period of time. I remember that Zhuying also has people in Casimir, and they are all arranged in the early days. Let them check it out... But this news also needs to be conveyed to Shenchi and the military."

The news that Roya was not only still alive, but also active in Casimir was enough to make all the forces in Victoria take it seriously.

Of course, before passing on the information, Ahmonie still had to deal with a meeting with the spokesperson of the Chamber of Commerce. She had figured out that although the Chamber of Commerce wanted to cooperate with Shenchi behind her, it was difficult to say it out loud due to the presence of the other Grand Duke Victoria. Businessmen always like to weigh the pros and cons in all matters.

But for Ahmoni, it doesn't matter whether she cooperates or not. She just wants to confirm whether the person she met that day was Roya. If it was Roya, then why did he become Draco? Is the disappearance of Ravshini, another red dragon, also related to him?

After putting these thoughts aside and checking her bag again, Ahmoni sat on a chair in the restaurant waiting for Charnei's arrival, while wondering where the person who looked like Roya might be now. After all, in order to find him, she had rejected Viviana's invitation to go to the opera together.

A few minutes later, a man who looked very serious appeared in Ahmoni's sight. He was wearing a single-sided shawl that only spokespersons could wear, and the smile on his face was particularly sincere.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting, Ms. Ahmoni. I'm McGee, the spokesperson for the Chamber of Commerce."

"Hello, but I remember that the person I was going to talk to was Mr. Charney, right?"

Ahmoni raised her eyebrows. It was not polite to make a temporary replacement without notice. It seemed that the Chamber of Commerce had clearly refused to cooperate.

"Please don't be angry. Mr. Charney received the task today. He left in a hurry and didn't have time to inform you. Let me apologize to you on behalf of the Business Federation."

"Since your apology also represents the Business Federation, then I can understand it as a disguised rejection?"

As a spy and also a member of the Deep Pool secretarial team, it was not difficult for Ahmoni to read another meaning in McKee's words.

"Please forgive me. Casimir has no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. Whether it's Victoria or Kjerag, this goes against our principles."

When Ahmonie heard McGee talking to her about principles, she almost couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, her original expression gave people a sense of ridicule. She really didn't expect that this group of people would have the nerve to talk about principles. The business alliance with the least principles and bottom line in the whole of Casimir is the one. Even an outsider like her can see this.

How many unscrupulous things have the companies in the Business Federation done in private? Do they really have no idea? At least under Abrana's call, the situation of the infected people in Victoria is gradually improving, but they are still thinking of using the infected people as tools and consumables to make money. How can they talk about principles?

"Mr. McKee has taken great pains to come all this way to tell me this news."

Ahmoni's words were full of sarcasm, and it was impossible for McGee not to hear it, but he was also following the arrangements from above. The spokesperson seemed to have great power, but he was just a tool of the Chamber of Commerce like the Helmetless Alliance.

Fortunately, Ahmonie was right. McGee came here in person without even finishing the work at hand, not to give her a rejection answer.

"You don't have to be so angry. Although the Business Federation cannot reach a cooperation agreement with you, several of the directors seem to want to talk to you."

After all, the Business Federation is not a monolithic entity. Although most directors do not agree with cooperating with Shenchi and think that the risk is too high, they also understand what high risk and high return mean. If Abrana can really become the new monarch of Victoria in the future, their current investment in cooperation can be rewarded several times or even dozens of times. As long as the benefits of something are big enough, this group of people will do it even if it risks losing their heads.

Ahmoni's mood improved now, and she motioned for McGee to continue.

"I am now representing the three companies, Meshko Group, Grant Company and Red Wine News, to start a new round of talks with you. What do you think?"

Ahmoni knew both the Meshko Group and Grant Company. These two were well-known large enterprises in Casimir, specializing in the production of various equipment and weapons. She was not surprised that these two military industries wanted to reach a cooperation with Shenchi, but why did the Red Wine Newspaper want to get involved? Just now, when McKee mentioned the Red Wine Newspaper, his expression seemed a little different. It seemed that this newspaper was not as simple as it seemed.

No matter what, since it has come to this, Ahmoni has no choice but to continue. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing if Casimir discovered her true intentions.

"So let's be honest with each other, what are your prices?"

"We are willing to provide you with the materials or equipment you need at a preferential price. The first batch of equipment and weapons will be sold at cost price. Of course, for some reasons that you and I understand, we cannot send these materials directly to Victoria. At this time... we can talk about Kjerag's problem."

(What a cunning fox. Not only did he not want to show up himself, but he also sent someone like this to deal with me. He wanted to use the issue of material transportation to make us go head-to-head with Kaster, and take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of Kjerag. Do you really think I can't see it?)

Ahmoni had anticipated that things would develop to this point, or Mandela had told her about this possibility before they set out. She really couldn't understand how Roya trained Mandela. Both the teacher and the student were not easy to deal with.

"We appreciate your sincerity. Although the land near Kjerag in Victoria is not within our management, and Kast is also a difficult enemy, we will try our best to contain it."

One should not be too decisive in one's words, one must always leave a way out for oneself. Ahmonie is such a person who likes to leave a way out for herself in everything. While talking with Macky, she was also thinking about what task Charne, who was supposed to be sitting opposite her, was doing at this moment?

....................................

In a small town about a hundred kilometers away from the Grand Knight, a dark-skinned man with a simple red armor was sitting on a bench wiping the blood off his axe. Thinking back to the cheers of those people when they heard him making his opponent bleed, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. That was not the cheers he wanted. Those people even hoped that he could kill the opponent.

Dikaiopolis had been in this town for several days and had competed in the arena many times. In such a small place, it was difficult to meet opponents that he could take seriously. He had always maintained his victory and his reputation quickly spread because of the secret help of Tolan and others.

The agent belonging to Dikaiopolis was looking at today's form, feeling both happy and disappointed. Finally, he walked up to Dikaiopolis with an uneasy tone.

"You are a very powerful person, Minoan, I really mean it, but our small place really can't accommodate you. The greater your reputation, the more people you will attract, not only the audience, but also the knight detectives from some large knight orders. But if it is discovered that you are infected, then all the money we earn will be confiscated, and you will be driven out of Casimir.

"So I've thought about it. In tomorrow's match, you can pretend to be defeated, then take the money you deserve and retire. Or we can split the money 70-30 as we agreed before. Is that ok?"

This kind of thing will happen sooner or later. Dikaiopolis knew it long ago. At least the man in front of him didn't think of taking all the money and running away. Even if he had a conscience, he understood his intention. But Roya's plan required him to be found by someone, for example...

"Mr. Blazing Axe Knight Dikaiopolis, right? Are you interested in talking?"

A calm and slightly smooth voice sounded not far away. The agent who had just been discussing match-fixing with Dikaiopolis panicked when he saw the other party, because he had seen the other party speaking on behalf of the Business Federation on TV.

"Are you Mr. Charner, the spokesman for the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Glenn knew me. Nice to meet you."

Charne had a kind smile on his face, but it made Gran, as his agent, particularly uneasy. He knew that he probably had nothing to do here, so he didn't even need to find a reason. After taking a look at Dikaiopolis, he chose to leave, hoping in his heart that he would not be targeted by the Chamber of Commerce.

Without the presence of others, Charne sat next to Dikaiopolis, speaking in a very natural tone.

"The match just now was very exciting, Mr. Dikaiopolis. I heard that the Minoans were always brave. I am quite impressed."

"Are you here to chase me away? You should have heard everything he said just now."

Dikaiopolis put down the axe in his hand and told Charne that he would not attack him. He thought he needed to go to another place to continue to build his reputation, but he did not expect that the Business Alliance would come to him so soon. Just as Roya said, this group of guys controlled most of Casimir's information channels.

"Are you saying it's because of your identity as an infected person? Of course not. Casimir has just introduced the Infected Knight Act. As long as you are willing to become a commercial knight and receive certification, this country will not reject you."

"But I heard that this bill was not accepted by the public."

Although the Infected Knight Act has been proposed and piloted since last year, it has not achieved much good results until now. After all, the infected are a minority, and most ordinary people are very resistant to this group. Even if the Business Federation is determined to promote it, it is impossible to change the will of all citizens.

“It’s only a matter of time before it is recognized, but we are still missing a very important role model.”

The smile on Charne's face became even wider. As a spokesperson for the Chamber of Commerce for many years, he had met many knights. He could see the potential of Dikaiopolis from the match just now. This man was definitely capable of becoming one of the great knights of Casimir. As for how far he could go, that would not only depend on his strength, but also on the arrangements of the Chamber of Commerce.

Just as the plan predicted, Dikaiopolis asked back, pretending to understand nothing.

"example?"

"Yes, to be more precise, it is a typical example. After all, apart from the last champion, the Brilliant Knight Lin Guang, there has not been an Infected Knight who has made enough of a name for himself in the Knights' Tournament. Once an Infected Knight is able to stand high enough, people's attention will unconsciously shift to him."

Charne stood up, walked up to Dikaiopolis and held out his hand to him.

“When an infected knight proves himself, he will not only become a role model for other infected people, but also make it easier for people to accept the existence of infected knights.

"Of course, these are too complicated to talk about. Let's talk about it somewhere else."

Watching the tall and strong Dicaeopolis slowly stand up, Charne keenly felt a kind of aura from him. In his career as a spokesman, he had only felt this kind of aura from two people.

One was the three-time champion of the Casimir Knight Tournament, now the Black Knight in Kjerag; the other was the previous champion of the Casimir Knight Tournament, the Brilliant Knight Margaret Linguang who was expelled from the country and whose whereabouts are unknown. Intuition told Charne that the man in front of him was destined to achieve great things in the future.

Chapter 164 Arturo's Performance

For Arturo, no matter how many listeners she has, she needs to do her best in every performance. What's more, there are two new listeners today, one of whom she is particularly optimistic about. She really wants to know what Roya is like in his heart. Although they have only had a brief contact, Arturo keenly realizes that he is probably the most special one among her many listeners.

This was an intuition that Arturo herself could not explain. She was tuning her cello and was about to go on stage to perform, but she saw the administrator of the opera house walking towards her with an unprecedented serious look on his face.

"Ms. Arturo, do you know the male guest who came today?"

"That gentleman? No, I just met him outside and heard that he wanted to come here to listen to the opera, so I brought him in. After all, he is blind and I don't even know his name."

Arturo answered truthfully everything she knew. These were not secrets. She actually had some guesses about the secrets hidden behind this opera house, but for someone who only pursued performances, Arturo would not care about these. She would just stay here. If she could not find the opportunity to perform, she would go to the next place, such as Victoria or Letania.

Hearing Arturo say this, the theater manager felt relieved, but then he couldn't help being curious. When he came here, he looked at Roya and found that he and Viviana seemed to have a lot of common topics. The two of them talked very happily and seemed to have a good relationship.

Considering that the Marigold Opera House existed for Viviana, it was impossible for ordinary people to know about this place. It couldn't even be found on Casimir's website. The only possibility the theater manager could think of was that Roya was invited by Viviana. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why a stranger like Roya appeared here today after he sent a message to Viviana yesterday.

It's not that Viviana hasn't invited other people to enjoy the opera together, such as her adoptive mother Ioletta Russell. The existence of this theater itself was tacitly allowed by Ioletta, but the problem is that no one has ever gotten along so well with Viviana. In the past, Viviana would always be very quiet and prepare to enjoy the opera, but now she is laughing so hard that her body is shaking.

(Could it be that... this man and the young lady have a special relationship?)

The last time Viviana came to this theater was half a year ago. After all, she didn't live in the Great Knight Territory, so it was not impossible for her to find someone she liked within half a year. If possible, the theater manager would like to bless her, but he knew very well that Viviana's identity was not something that just anyone could match.

Sooner or later, Viviana will leave Casimir and return to her hometown to inherit the position that belongs to her and become the new Elector of Leitania. Her father has eliminated most of her enemies over the years and made all preparations for her. As for Roya... I really don't know how the Elector will treat this young man.

Viviana didn't know about the things in the distant future yet. She just had an admiration for Roya. Although Roya looked gloomy, introverted and difficult to get along with at first glance, this impression would be broken by his smile in the next second.

Moreover, Roya seemed to have been to many places and told her many interesting stories about the customs and culture of Victoria. In addition, his voice and tone when he spoke always carried a feeling of reciting poetry, which made Viviana like him very much.

"Mr. Roya, how did you know this place? And Miss Rupert with pink hair is not with you?"

"Nothing, I just occasionally heard people talk about the traditional and formal Leitania style here. I haven't been to Leitania yet, so I want to come here to experience it. As for Hongxue, she needs time to do what she likes. We should all take some time to do what we love, just like now."

Luo Ya leaned back in the soft and comfortable chair, quietly feeling everything around him. Since he woke up this time, he not only got used to losing his vision, but also learned to use his other senses more in the process of getting used to it. He could sense many things that others could sense but never noticed. For example, judging from her voice that Viviana was gentle and kind, and judging from her perfume that she was a good girl who knew how to dress herself up, at least she definitely knew how to be a girl better than Tallulah.

These words seemed to touch Viviana's heart. She turned her head and looked at the empty stage. Wasn't it because she wanted to find the atmosphere of her hometown of Leitania in this theater that she liked to come here since she was a child?

"Letania... I almost forgot what it looked like."

With her hands in front of her, Viviana hadn't returned to her hometown for more than ten years. In her memory, this small theater could be said to be the shadow of Leitania in her heart.

"No one will forget their hometown, Miss Viviana. The streams and rivers of their hometown are like our blood. As long as our hearts are still beating, we will never forget where we came from."

Roya realized that hometown was probably a sad topic for Viviana. She was sent to Casimir for adoption since she was a child and lived in a foreign country, but she could never really integrate into this country. She still loved poetry, yearned for those beautiful music and operas, and yearned for her hometown which was known as the country of art.

After all, Viviana was used to this kind of emotion and quickly adjusted her mood. Speaking of hometown, she was very curious about what Luoya's hometown was like. Judging from the name, Luoya should be from Dayan. Viviana heard that it was also a place that people were nostalgic and yearning for.

"Thank you for your comfort, Mr. Luo Ya. Is your hometown Dayan?"

"Dayan..." Luo Ya recalled the whole year he lived in Longmen and the Yumen City where he had been for a while, "Dayan is very similar to my hometown, but my hometown cannot be found in this land."
