Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

Indeed, the Iron Duke is the commander of Victoria's strongest military force, but the grand dukes do not have such a big gap in the level of warfare. Moreover, if a civil war really breaks out, the most powerful Iron Duke will inevitably be regarded as a target of siege.

"Funny boy."

A long-unseen smile appeared on the Iron Duke's solemn face, and the murderous intent from years of fighting made all his subordinates dare not move at all.

No one knows why the Iron Duke was willing to swear allegiance to Abrana, but no matter what the reason behind it was, Roya's appearance undoubtedly disrupted his plan. From the first day he took over Deep Pool's work, he had been preparing to free Deep Pool from the shackles of the Iron Duke. Those key details hidden in a large number of documents were not discovered by Abrana, the colonel, or his advisers.

"Have Gastril change course and head for Oak Forest County."

"But Your Excellency the Duke, such behavior may very likely make other Grand Dukes...Yes!"

Seeing the terrifyingly sharp edge in those eyes, the staff officer said no more. Did he need to remind him of such a thing? You have to know that this is the Iron Duke of Victoria, the death knell of the empire.

On the contrary, the Iron Duke does not intend to let Roya get his wish. If the Duke of Stafford and Abramana really come into contact, the loss to him will be even greater.

The reason why he was afraid of Roya was not because of his strength or ability, but simply because he was worried that Roya had the support of Dayan. That country that hunted gods and beasts thousands of years ago was definitely not a good country. Many years ago, another bloodline of Draco had sworn brotherhood with Longmen Wei Yanwu, and left behind a descendant whose whereabouts are now unknown.

If Da Yan behind Roya secretly plotted to let Drake named Tallulah appear when the situation was the most chaotic, it would be really bad.

But if Luo Ya is indeed not the deputy director of the Longmen Guard Bureau, then where did such a person with such strange and terrifying Originium skills and strong command ability come from?

"Could it be that……"

The Iron Duke looked at the Victorian flag behind him. The lion on the left and the red dragon on the right shared the crown, but there was something vaguely visible beneath the ancient national emblem.

------------------

"Roya, are you busy these days?"

Lying on Luo Ya's chest, Xiao Ke's voice carried a hint of grievance and flattery, and it was easy to guess her thoughts from her slightly drooping ears.

"I am a little busy. I am sorry that I haven't been with you much. I may even have to go out for a while."

"Can you bring Xiao Ke with you?"

"I don't think this is going to work. You and Rosemary should stay here and...wait for me to come back."

Xiao Ke puffed up her face in displeasure, like a pufferfish. Luo Ya casually took out a candy from under the pillow and stuffed it into her mouth. Although Xiao Ke was still a little unhappy to have something to eat, she finally calmed down.

"I will definitely bring you a gift when I come back, okay?"

"Really?"

"Really, so go to sleep now."

"But Xiaoke can't sleep."

Because Luo Ya hadn't come back all day, Xiao Ke had slept several times during the day and was particularly energetic at this moment.

"I see. Well, let's memorize the multiplication table."

"Oh." Xiao Ke lay beside Luo Ya and recited quietly, while Luo Ya counted silently to ten in his heart.

After ten o'clock, Xiao Ke fell drowsily on the pillow and fell into a deep sleep. The most enviable thing about this girl is that she never has any insomnia troubles and falls asleep so easily.

After coaxing Xiao Ke, Luo Ya looked at Rosemary beside her. She blinked and pointed at Xiao Ke, indicating that she was woken up by the latter.

"Do you need me to put you to sleep?"

"No, I should be able to fall asleep soon. Is Roya going on some dangerous mission?"

"It won't be too dangerous." He gently held the kitten and rubbed her head. Luo Ya felt that cuddling with Rosemary was the best way to relieve stress. "But...if I don't come back, Rosemary, you take Xiao Ke and Kal'tsit away with you. Tell her that this is my arrangement."

He said it wouldn't be too dangerous but he made such arrangements. Rosemary is not Xiao Ke, so how could she not know the meaning behind these words?

"Then I'm going too!"

With her hands around Roya's waist, Rosemary's eyes were filled with ruthlessness. She didn't want to lose Roya.

"No, you need to recuperate here. I'm going because I can escape even if the mission fails, but if I take you with me, neither of us will be able to escape."

If we simply talk about destructive power, then Rosemary is definitely more powerful than Xiao Ke, but the device in her head is the product of a failed experiment. It is too much of a burden for her, and Roya will never take her on an adventure.

"Alright, alright, have faith in me and go to sleep."

For these last three words, Roya used his "command" ability. Rosemary suddenly felt sleepy and fell asleep. Her willpower was relatively weak and she had no way to resist Roya's ability.

He stood up and covered Xiaoke and Rosemary with blankets, took off his pajamas and covered Xiaoke with them to prevent her from knowing that he had run away. Then Luoya walked to the corner and picked up the black bow.

After waiting silently for a while, the call from the Lord of the Wilderness had not come yet, but he was still worried, so he issued a silence order to the entire room as he had done in the office before, which would probably last until daytime.

After doing all this, Luo Ya left the room with the things he had prepared long ago, went next door and knocked on Kal'tsit's door.

He has some things he needs to talk to the other party about first.

Chapter 55: Longmen's Movement

"Is it appropriate to entrust them to me, a woman who is unfamiliar to you?"

Kal'tsit's cold tone and expression always made Luo Ya wonder if she had no other feelings. There was no need to hide this issue.

"Victoria is bound to fall into greater chaos, and there is even the possibility of a war. It is not a good choice to let Xiaoke and Rosemary stay here."

As he spoke, Luo Ya showed a bitter smile on his face. "You may not believe it, but I can't find anyone else to trust except you. Since my intuition tells me to trust you, I will take a gamble, not to mention that only you can save Rosemary."

"Kazdel is not a peaceful place either."

"But the Sarkaz civil war can't last too long. The war will probably end within a year." Roya counted the sanity liquid Kal'tsit gave him and looked up at her uneasy face. "Of course, this is just my personal speculation out of boredom."

Such statements could not dispel Kal'tsit's uneasiness, because she knew better than anyone how terrifying Roya's instincts were about the current situation and war, but what Roya was going to do now made her feel even more worried and helpless.

"Then I'll leave everything to you. See you later."

After closing Kal'tsit's door gently, Roya quietly left the courtyard and walked outside the base. The guard Brian, whom he had met before, had been waiting for him here for some time.

"Secretary Luoya, everything has been prepared for you and placed on the vehicle, but... do you really not need to bring a few brothers with you?"

Brian looked at Roya with some concern. The last time he and Abrana went to Oak Forest County without any guards, the school officer was furious. This time he actually planned to go alone on a high-speed battleship to meet a grand duke. This was really too risky.

"No, I'm going there to discuss cooperation, not to assassinate someone. Bringing too many people will arouse unnecessary suspicion."

"But can you at least tell the leader?"

"I think she would eat me alive if that happened."

Luo Ya smiled and shook his head, patted Brian on the shoulder and got in the car, "Is the radio station there?"

"I've put it in the back seat of your car. It's the latest model. If we don't take into account sudden natural disasters, we'll be able to contact the Stanford in three days at the latest."

No matter how fast a high-speed warship is, the hull and the people on board must be taken into consideration, especially since the Duke of Stafford is too old to be able to ride on the bumpy road. Luo Ya cannot wait that long, so he asked the Earl of Oak Forest to send a letter to the Duke of Stafford to express that he would also go to the Stanford, and the two sides would make a two-way trip. He even considerately left his telegram number to the other party.

Since the Originium dust scattered in Terra's atmosphere caused great interference to communications, according to Roya's understanding, there were no satellites in this world, so they could only send telegrams, which were fortunately not too difficult to learn.

"That's good. I'm leaving now. You guys are responsible for protecting the camp. I'll keep in touch regularly. If you don't hear from me, just move directly to backup base number three."

"Yes!"

As Brian watched, Roya drove away, turned on the lights inside and outside the car, and went over the overall plan in his mind. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Roya caught a glimpse of a sword on the passenger seat.

It was an exquisite knight's sword. The golden hilt was inlaid with red gems, like a dragon's wings spread out. The blade was also the same transparent red as the gems. It looked more like a work of art than a weapon.

"It looks like I'll be beaten less severely when I come back."

Luo Ya smiled, stretched out his hand to put the sword into the scabbard and placed it beside him. With this sword, he felt more confident in doing things.

The royal sword representing Draco of the Deep Pool clan was enough both as a weapon and as a symbol of identity. Moreover, even the Duke of Stafford's men had no reason to ask Roya to hand over the sword. This was tantamount to asking the monarch of Victoria to take off his crown.

And handing this sword to Roja undoubtedly proves what kind of position he holds in Abrana's heart now.

【Borrow it from you, remember to return it to me】

After tearing off the note on the car window and throwing it away, Luo Ya patted his head gently. The sequelae left in Oak Forest County some time ago have almost disappeared. He was worried that the Black Bow would be temporarily confiscated and its combat effectiveness would be reduced. Now he feels more at ease.

"I don't know if I can be resurrected if I die this time, but it seems that after resurrection, my memory will be lost or sealed."

With his fingers tapping lightly on the steering wheel, Luo Ya was now certain that he had died more than once. Apart from the lucky one at Longmen, he had undoubtedly died there as well. Even though he didn't know the cause of death, the remaining memories would not lie. He was found by Xiao Ke in the wilderness.

"The resurrection point after death is random, so what's the point of the countdown in the head? There is also this ability."

Roya pulled out a bottle of sanity liquid reagent he got from Kal'tsit from his pocket, broke the glass and poured it into his mouth. His ability, like Rosemary, put a lot of pressure on his brain and mind. According to Kal'tsit, this sanity liquid can help him fight against the side effects and refresh his mind.

Previously, Roya had deliberately put on a show with Abrana in front of the Earl of Oak Forest County, describing his ability as a kind of Originium skill. So when they meet, the Duke of Stafford's people will definitely ask him to hand over all weapons and spell units except this sword to ensure the Duke's safety.

But for him, using his abilities does not require relying on a staff like ordinary warlocks, and he doesn't even need to rely on sound.

"It all depends on how they perform. I hope Kal'tsit's intelligence is correct. I've bet my life on her."

Taking a look at the radio behind him, Luo Ya hummed a tune. The sanity liquid tasted a bit like glucose, but Kal'tsit told him to drink less.

Looking at the night scene flashing by outside the window, Luo Ya suddenly had a question in his mind. Was he a professional in this field when he was in Longmen? Otherwise, there was no way to explain why he was so skilled in catching spies, clearing out traitors, engaging in information fraud and alienation tactics.

"Then how did I die at Longmen?"

A person's journey is too boring, so his thoughts will diverge uncontrollably. Luo Ya touched his chest and only remembered that he seemed to have died because his heart was pierced, but he could not recall more details.

In fact, he felt somewhat sorry for Abbrana because he had hidden many things from her. For example, his memory had recovered a little and he knew that he was indeed a member of Longmen before. Also, there was the so-called Unicorn Order mentioned by Wei Yanwu.

During this period, Luo Ya investigated all the documents, but did not find any information about the forces related to the unicorn. Either he guessed in the wrong direction, or the other party hid deeply enough.

Anyway, this meeting was not only to allow Shen Chi to completely break free from the control of the Iron Duke, but also to try out whether the mastermind behind it was the owner of the Unicorn Order. If it was, then maybe he could help Longmen's old boss.

--------------------------------

"So, it's related to Victoria?"

After listening to Lin Yuxia's report, Wei Yanwu, who was woken up in the middle of the night, no longer felt dissatisfied, but only worried.

"According to the intelligence, yes. Although their abilities are very similar and their names are the same, it is still unclear what the relationship is between the mercenary in Casimir and Roya. After all..."

After all, they had nailed Luo Ya's coffin shut one by one with their own hands. She had carried his body back to Longmen with her own hands and had felt his gradually cooling temperature. That could not be false.

"I know what you want to say."

Wei Yanwu sat on the sofa and pondered. There was no reason for him not to know the information that Chen Huijie could find out, but he really felt it was ridiculous. Despite this ridiculousness, he also held a glimmer of hope. He really didn't want to lose another person he cared about.

"Pass my order and have a black hooded squad head to southern Victoria immediately!"

This is a risky decision. Although Hei Shan has no name and his background will not be discovered, it would be very disadvantageous if someone finds out that he is involved with Longmen. If Dayan and Victoria put pressure on him again, Wei Yanwu's situation will become very dangerous.

But when he issued this order, he suddenly felt relieved. He couldn't withstand the pressure and lost his best brother. Later, he couldn't save his brother's child. This time he didn't want to regret it.

"If you are sure it is Roya, bring him back directly. Of course, do not use force."

"I'll make arrangements right away!"

Lin Yuxia clenched her fists and quickly disappeared into the shadows, leaving Wei Yanwu sitting in the deserted office, wondering what he was thinking.

Chapter 56: Sisters in Conflict

"What did you say, Roya is missing!?"

Early in the morning, Ravshini, who had prepared a bouquet of flowers for Roya as a return gift of roses, learned the news that almost made her fall.

"Woo woo, Big Tail, good man, does Luo Ya not want Xiao Ke anymore? Xiao Ke will obviously do whatever he says!"

It was not difficult to tell from the tear marks on Xiaoke's face that she had just cried. She was the first person to notice that Luoya was missing, because if she had woken up normally, Xiaoke would not have failed to notice it. Moreover, she could not smell Luoya's scent in the entire deep pool, so she ran out to look for him just now.

"I've already told you that Luo Ya is just going on a mission, so stop crying."

Although Rosemary was forgetful, she still remembered what happened last night. However, judging from her eyes and expression, she was not as calm as her tone. After all, Luo Ya's words at that time were almost like his last words.

"On a mission?"

"Well, he should have left at night."

Rafshini was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that things were not that simple. She placed the flowers in her hand on Roya's bedside and ran towards Abrana's office without thinking.

If it was just an ordinary mission, then there was no need for Luo Ya to leave quietly last night. This means that the confidentiality of this mission is very high, and the corresponding risk is also likely to be very high. And there is only one person in the entire Deep Pool who knows where Luo Ya went!

"Sister!" Ravshini pushed open Abrana's door, "Where did Roya go?"

Abrana, who was discussing work with the school officer, was a little surprised. It had been many years since Ravshini spoke to her sister so loudly, and there was even a bit of toughness in her tone, which made Abrana look up to her.

"You go down first." Abrana originally wanted to scold the officer, but now it seems that she needs to scold her sister first.

Where did Roya go? The officer could figure out the answer to this question on his fingers. He could understand that Abrana, the leader, needed to be cautious, so he didn't go to meet him in person, but he didn't expect that Roya actually went alone.

This was not only beyond his expectations but also certainly beyond the Iron Duke's expectations. Only Abbrana was not surprised at not seeing Roya so early in the morning. In fact, her only regret was that her work had increased.

After the officer left, Abrana closed the door and sat in her seat, calmly picking up the tea and subconsciously glanced at Roya's empty seat.
