Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

But it's all worth it. Deep Pool will grow rapidly in the future and will no longer be controlled by any Grand Duke. However, in order to make Abrana's future smoother, he still needs to make some preparations.

Until now, Luo Ya's plan has truly achieved the first stage.

But before that, he still had to consider how he was going to survive.

"I can't hold it any longer..."

The world before his eyes turned into the simplest black, gray and white. Luo Ya couldn't help coughing and spitting out blood, and the whole person began to free fall from a height of 500 meters.

(No, you might die at this height)

Although his physical fitness was much better after the time travel, Luo Ya didn't think he could withstand a free fall of 500 meters. But now he couldn't even open his mouth. Although there seemed to be a river below, drowning would be the same as falling into it. What's more, the water surface at this height would not be light.

A gorgeous flower blossomed under Luoya and gently held his body, but soon a gust of wind blew and wrapped around Luoya, as if trying to snatch the flower away.

"Tsk, no way, he ruined your good fortune, you really are... you have fallen for him again, don't even think about competing with our fairytale castle for him!"

Little Red Riding Hood, carrying a flower basket, frowned unhappily and looked in one direction. As if the wind heard her words, it suddenly disappeared.

The unconscious Roya was carried by the flowers to a height of several dozen meters and then dropped. Little Red Riding Hood estimated that this height was no problem for Roya. In this way, she could naturally rescue Roya and create an opportunity for them to get to know each other. This was a person who could write so many interesting fairy tales. Their fairy tale castle really needed such talents.

When she met Luo Ya in the New Year month, she felt that he was a talented person, otherwise how could she let him take away the six beloved roses.

However, when Little Red Riding Hood was leisurely preparing to go to the river to pick up the person, she was stunned. There was nothing by the river except a sword.

"What about a big guy like me?"

Chapter 4: Secrets Exposed (k)

"Oh my... my head!"

Holding his aching head and opening his eyes, Luo Ya felt as if he was hit by a flower pot falling from the fifth floor while shopping on the street.

"Hey, you're awake, how are you feeling?"

A full of energy voice came into Luo Ya's ears. Under him was the not-so-soft cushion. Luo Ya's almost overloaded brain helped him recall the scene of falling just now. He couldn't help but sigh that he was still alive. He was really lucky.

But the moment he opened his eyes, Luo Ya realized how bad his physical condition was.

Not to mention the sore limbs and aching head, the loss of color vision alone was enough to prove to what extent he had overused his abilities this time.

"I'm asking you a question. Captain, do you think he has a brain injury?"

The energetic-looking Vaifan girl in a short skirt and knee-high socks looked at the other blonde Lupert woman, who had a gloomy expression and seemed to have something against Roya.

"Don't call me girl, I just have a headache, I'm not broken."

This Vaifan girl didn't seem to be very smart, because Luo Ya felt a temperament very similar to Xiao Ke's from this girl - silly.

"It would be strange if your head didn't hurt. You were washed down by the water and hit my captain. We were scared. Who would have thought of washing a-"

"Bagpipes!"

The Lupo woman's scolding made Bagpipe cover her mouth, but her words combined with the surrounding environment had allowed Roya to roughly guess his situation.

"Are you Victorian soldiers?"

There were Victorian-style siege spears and grenade launchers in the back of the car. There were no other decorations inside the car and the whole car was very expensive. Bagpipe called him the captain. Although he didn't know why there were only two people, Roya guessed what happened to them.

"Oh yes, we are the Stormtroopers."

"That's pretty cool. So what are Storm Troopers?"

Luo Ya's words dealt a heavy blow to Bagpipe, who had been somewhat proud just now. But in fact, he knew very well that as the chief secretary of Shenchi, he needed to grasp all the intelligence of various forces in Victoria. The Iron Duke's intelligence network was very mature, and the Storm Commandos were a special operations force affiliated with the Victorian military. Luo Ya did not expect to meet them here.

In his previous condition, it was impossible for him to maintain the state of weightlessness for too long. This place should still be near the border between Oak Forest County and the Duchy of Stafford.

"Bagpipe, I've told you so many times to keep your information confidential and not to reveal your background casually."

"But Captain Bugle, we are not doing any secret operation this time."

"Even so... never mind. I won't argue with you."

Horn seemed to have long been accustomed to Bagpipe's carelessness and silliness, but the look she gave Roya was still sharp, even with a hint of anger and displeasure. It seemed that Roya had hurt the girl badly when she fell.

No, that's not right. Luo Ya suddenly realized that her clothes were all wet, which meant that she probably fell into the river and fell on this person. However, her clothes were dry but her hair was a little wet... Oh my God, no way?

After ruling out the possibility that the two girls came here to fish and had nothing to do so they went down to the river to make a nest, Luo Ya's face looked a little strange. It seemed that after he fell into the river, he drifted along the current and met the two girls who were cleaning themselves. It was a blessing that he did not drown.

"Tell me, who are you and why are you floating in the river with wounds all over your body?"

"I just heard something I shouldn't have heard, and was chased by two Sarkaz."

Luo Ya breathed a sigh of relief. Since the two men didn't see him falling from the sky, it would be easy to fool them. No, it was much easier to explain.

"By the way, have you seen my sword? I should be holding it in my hand."

"No, you had nothing in your hands at the time, you just clenched your fist."

Hearing Bagpipe say this, Luo Ya's heart sank. Oh my god, all of Abrana's heirlooms were lost. Let alone taking credit for it, he would have to find a way to save his own life!

"Where did you find mine?"

Luo Ya looked around. The fact that the vehicle hadn't started meant that it hadn't left the crash site too far.

"In the river over there."

Bagpipe pointed to the river not far away. Luo Ya quickly opened the car door and prepared to go to the river and follow the current upstream to look for it. However, the moment his feet stepped on the grass, the double pain of muscle tear and broken bones made him fall out.

This made Luo Ya realize that it would be difficult for him to go back in a short time. With the help of the telegraph equipment of Fengpi and others? It was unrealistic. As a soldier, he should have this quality.

"I think you don't care about yourself at all. You are injured like this, but you still torture yourself for a sword."

Walking to Roya and helping him up, Bagpipe had a look of unhappiness on her face. Roya's sudden action just now scared her, but she and Horn did not tie Roya up because there was no need. Roya's physical condition was terrible now. He was covered with wounds and had been soaked in water. His wounds had become inflamed.

"You don't understand." Luo Ya gritted his teeth and stood up, wondering if there was any part of his body that could move normally. "That was given to me by my fiancée. I can't lose it."

He couldn't say that if he lost his life, he would be in danger. He could only come up with a more romantic and tactful excuse. Besides, Luo Ya really liked the sword. It was very easy to use.

"You have to wait until your injury is better before looking for it." Fengpi felt that Luo Ya was a bit strange. "How about I help you find it?"

"You are such a warm-hearted girl."

Luo Ya patted his head. In his current state, he couldn't even stand steadily. If he hadn't met these two people, it was hard to say what would have happened.

"Anyway, the captain and I have completed our mission, so it doesn't matter if I help you. Besides, you just said that you were being chased by the Sarkaz. Are they still nearby?"

"Most likely he's gone, otherwise he would have come here by now."

The shapeshifter and Salus, from the Sarkaz royal court, indirectly confirmed another speculation in Roya's mind, that is, the Sarkaz civil war in Kazdel was about to end, and it was very likely that Salus and his side would win, and the Sarkaz's next target would be Victoria.

Although it is still unclear which grand dukes are secretly colluding with the Sarkaz, this is bound to have a significant impact on the subsequent situation in Victoria. He has to find a way to spread the news.

"That's good. If they dare to come, the captain and I will help you deal with them!"

"You are such an enthusiastic and naive girl."

Looking at Fengpi's confident and dashing smile, Luo Ya felt that it would be nice if there were more people like her in the world.

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

"Um...Rosemary, still no news from Roya?"

Several days had passed since Roya left, and Ceobe had truly experienced the meaning of "a day without seeing you feels like three years". She had never realized that a day could be so long.

"No."

Rosemary kept turning the same few pages in the book. She was very anxious, wondering where Roya was and whether he was in any danger.

Xiao Ke was dumber than Rosemary, so she was more likely to think of going somewhere else. She was actually worried that Roya didn't want her anymore, or that it was more important for Roya to stay with the bad woman Abrana. Otherwise, why hadn't they set out for Minos yet? Would Roya forget the promise she made to her and leave them?

All kinds of thoughts popped up in Xiaoke's head, and she couldn't help frowning. Some of these thoughts were ones she had never had before and didn't even feel like they belonged to her.

[He likes that bad woman very much, so he wants to stay here. He won't take you to find your past.]

[You were abandoned, weren’t you? He may have always considered you a burden and wanted to get rid of you a long time ago.]

"No, no, Luo Ya is not that kind of person!"

Shaking her head to get rid of all the chaotic voices in her head, Xiao Ke clenched her fist angrily, broke the pencil in her hand, and stood up. She had an indescribable anger and sadness, but underneath it was deep worry.

She knew that Luo Ya was not that kind of person, but she also knew that she always caused trouble for Luo Ya. She was worried that she could not keep up with Luo Ya, so no matter how much she hated studying, she tried her best to be patient and do the questions.

Xiao Ke just wanted Luoya to praise her more, which would make her feel useful. In addition to hunting, she could definitely help Luoya. She didn't want Luoya to become a bad person for her and Rosemary.

"Silly dog, what's wrong with you?"

Rosemary realized that Xiaoke's mood had become very unstable. Kal'tsit had specifically told her to pay attention to Xiaoke's situation and notify her in time if there was anything unusual.

"Well... I'm not stupid!" Xiao Ke yelled at Rosemary angrily, "Except Luo Ya, no one is allowed to call Xiao Ke a stupid dog!!"

This was the first time that Xiao Ke was so irritable. Although she and Rosemary had quarreled in the past, they were just arguments and neither of them was willing to admit defeat. This time, Rosemary was shocked by her. The indescribable feeling of oppression from Xiao Ke made her feel particularly uneasy and flustered.

When her hand touched the notebook left by Luo Ya, Xiao Ke suddenly came to her senses and realized what she had just done. She looked at the broken pencil in her hand, sat down blankly and opened the front of the notebook.

This was a notebook that Luoya bought for her to use for writing questions. Xiao Ke didn't like doing questions, but she liked this notebook because Luoya would praise her every time she got a question right. Every question she got right had a cute little flower drawn by Luoya and a simple sketch by Xiao Ke.

"I'm sorry... Xiao Ke... I just missed Luo Ya."

Xiao Ke apologized cautiously, looking at Rosemary with a hint of apology and more pleading.

"Let's go find Kal'tsit. She must know where Roya is. Xiao Ke wants to find Roya."

"The messenger will probably not come. Let's go."

In order to appease Rosemary and Xiaoke, she would send someone to tell them every day when Luoya contacted Shenchi, so that the two guys would not make a fuss because of Luoya's absence.

But there has been no news from Roya since yesterday. Almost everyone except Kal'tsit is restless. Rosemary finds it hard to deceive herself. She wants to be a good girl and wait for Roya's return, but she just can't do it. She closes the book and reaches a consensus with Xiaoke on the idea of ​​suppression for the first time in a long time.

On the other side, in Kal'tsit's room, Ravshini was also extremely uneasy when she learned that there was no news about Roya. However, she would not easily express her thoughts now, and just often followed Kal'tsit to study.

"Teacher Kal'tsit, why did Roya choose to form an alliance with Duke Stafford so eagerly?"

This was something Ravshini couldn't understand. She knew that the cooperation between her sister and the Iron Duke was full of conspiracy and power transactions, but cooperating with the Iron Duke was indeed most beneficial to Deep Pond's current interests. After all, the Iron Duke was powerful and had a rich foundation, and he treated Abrana with the courtesy of a monarch and his subject. It would not be appropriate to turn against him directly at this time.

"Before I answer this question, you need to look at the long term. The Iron Duke has great ambitions and it is impossible for him to truly submit to Abrana. The so-called loyalty is just a temporary cooperation that will reveal its fangs sooner or later. You should understand this."

"Yes."

"But now all the forces in Victoria are maintaining a certain balance, both among the Grand Dukes and among the Dukes. If Deep Pool develops and expands freely, it will inevitably become an alien that breaks into the chessboard and be targeted by all forces. This is why Deep Pool's development has been so secretive over the years."

Kal'tsit wrote Rosemary's physical report without raising her head. Ravnheene's injuries still needed some time to heal, and she had been lying in bed for the past few days. However, she learned a lot from Kal'tsit.

"Firstly, Shenchi grew up under the protection of the Iron Duke, but was also bound by him. Although there are many benefits at present, the longer this control lasts, the more deeply rooted it will be. Therefore, we need to find a Grand Duke who is loyal to Abulara or obeys Roya."

"But the Duke of Stafford is old..."

Rafshini pondered over Kal'tsit's words. She had always been smart, but she didn't like conspiracies and power struggles so she seldom thought about them. But she soon realized that Roya was going to help one of the heirs of the Duke of Stafford.

"Compared to the old and difficult-to-control Grand Duke Stafford, supporting a new heir is more conducive to control and more in line with the interests of Shenchi. As for the second point..."

Kal'tsit hesitated on the second point. Even though Roya said it was okay to confess, Kal'tsit still had to consider whether the news itself would be a blow to Ravnheene.

"Roya's time is running out."

After a brief thought, Kal'tsit chose to tell the truth. It was something that could not be concealed sooner or later. Roya knew this and wanted to tell Ravshine through Kal'tsit.

"What did you say? I'm sorry I...I must have heard you wrong."

Ravshini thought that her hearing system must have been affected when she was fighting with Abrana. How could this be possible? Roya was healthy.

"Your hearing is not impaired, and what I said is not a lie. Roya's life span is limited... probably less than half a year left."

This is why Luo Ya is so anxious to change Shen Chi. He has no time. He is not sure whether he will be resurrected next time and whether he can remember everyone. Now he can't remember too much about Longmen. He can only try his best to make changes and prevent Shen Chi from going down a path of self-destruction.

Kal'tsit had just said half of her words when the locked door was pushed open with a bang. Xiao Ke lowered her head so that her expression could not be seen, and Rosemary stood beside her with only empty disbelief in her eyes.

Chapter 67: Aftermath of the Incident

In the main reception room of the Duke of Caister's Mansion, Caister finished reading the information in his hand, picked up a cup of warm black tea and took a sip to ease some of the surprise in his heart, and then smiled as gently as always.

"It's a wonderful drama. I thought it would be another boring script. I didn't expect it to end like this. The Red Dragon's secretary is indeed a formidable opponent. He doesn't play by the rules, but he also follows the rules just right."

Opposite the Duke of Caster sat a one-horned girl, and there was no one else in the entire reception room. The latter picked up a piece of cake and took a bite.

"Alas, he has caused me a lot of trouble. I wanted to use the Duke of Stafford to break the existing situation, but he used my arrangement to gain benefits for himself."

"It took him just over a month to change the situation in Victoria after he joined Deep Pond. He even used the Red Dragon and Deep Pond as bait for fishing. To be honest, I feel a little scared. This reckless gambling behavior is more disturbing than Wellington."
