"Is something wrong?"

Anso nodded quickly, seeming to have great respect for the woman in front of him, and then pointed at the Regicide beside him.

"Big sister, another one comes to see the boss."

Again? The Kingslayer didn't have time to think carefully about the meaning of this word again. The atmosphere in the air suddenly became a little strange, even more strange than before. She even felt that the old man in front of her and the woman whom Anso called "big sister" suddenly became so powerful that she was afraid.

Without thinking, the King Slayer shook off Ansuo's hand, pulled off his collar and spit out a puff of white mist that enveloped the surroundings, then turned around and tried to take the opportunity to slip away.

But a handful of sand rose up from under her feet and entangled her ankles so that she could not move. A hook hooked her hood, and before the Kingslayer could react, she felt someone hit her head and she fainted.

Then a gust of wind blew away the white mist. Everything happened so quickly that it didn't even attract many people's attention. The Rat King put down his walking stick and was very glad that he was too lazy to go out to play chess or take a walk in the winter, so he happened to be at home to catch this man.

"Thanks, Dad."

Lin Yuxia knew very well that if the Rat King had not taken action just now, the King Slayer would probably have really escaped. This white fog was quite troublesome, but compared with the Rat King, the King Slayer was really not qualified. Of course, she would not forget to thank An Suo.

"And you, Anso, did a great job."

An Suo, who was praised by Lin Yuxia, scratched his head a little embarrassedly and took his hook off the regicide hat, completely losing his previous miserly look.

"Thank you for the compliment, big sister. This is what I should do. In the past, Boss Luoya gave me food and a job in the Imperial Guards, and also allowed my brothers and sisters to go to school. Although he may not remember who I am, I will never forget his kindness. And you are also my benefactor."

Lin Yuxia was very satisfied with Ansuo's attitude. This girl was a talent discovered by Luo Ya last year. She was very good at stealing things and even stole things from Luo Ya. He wanted to treat Lin Yuxia to a meal that day, but in the end he not only gave all the money to Ansuo, but also let her serve as an undercover agent of the Guard Bureau in the slums, with the basic salary paid by Lin Yuxia. This girl did not show up when Luo Ya died, but she probably cried.

"Go back first and see if anyone else wants to know about Luo Ya."

"Yes!"

After packing up her things, An Suo chose to leave without saying anything. Luo Ya once praised her for being a very smart girl who knew what to listen to and what not to listen to. She also guessed that since so many people were asking about Luo Ya last month or today, it proved that the deputy director of the Guard Bureau might not be dead at all. In this way, there would still be a chance to meet them. She just didn't know whether Luo Ya still remembered her, the thief with whom she had only been destined to meet for one day.

After watching Ansuo leave, Lin Yuxia tied up the King Slayer. She also discovered that she was a Luper and did not care much about her identity as an infected person.

"A Luper, did Roya go to Syracuse?"

Looking at the wolf ears of the King Slayer, Lin Yuxia raised her head and exchanged glances with her father, the Rat King. They each had their own thoughts.

Previously, Victoria's spies had intentionally or unintentionally sought information about Luo Ya, and combined with Hei Suo's investigation of many traces, Lin Yuxia and others came to the conclusion that Luo Ya was not only alive but also had done a lot of big things.

But what he did was really too big, assassinating Grand Duke Victoria and supporting the leader of Deep Pool to succeed to the throne. Wei Yanwu even dared to say that the idea of ​​Deep Pool Red Dragon Abrana to station in Londinium was mostly proposed by Roya. He never played by the rules.

Because these matters were so sensitive, Wei Yanwu and others did not dare to look for Luo Ya in a high-profile manner, so as not to be dragged into the vortex of disputes. Not to mention that Luo Ya's death was already known to everyone in Longmen, and so many people witnessed his burial that day. If he really came back, it would be quite scary.

And the most crucial thing is that after the Victoria incident, Luo Ya disappeared again and could not be found, which made Lin Yuxia, who had finally been happy, feel lost again.

Now that the opportunity to find Luo Ya is right in front of her, she is hesitating whether she should hand her leave application to Wei Yanwu, and then go and kidnap the man who owed her half a year's meal money.

"Well, take her to see Wei Yanwu, don't lose your courtesy as a host."

"I see."

Regardless of the purpose of the Regicide's visit, at least it is certain that she knows Luo Ya's whereabouts. From this point of view, Lin Yuxia and others will not make things difficult for her. Not only will they not make things difficult for her, they will also let Longmen Governor Wei Yanwu personally receive her, which is enough to give her face.

After Lin Yuxia took the regicide away with the black straw raincoat, the Rat King walked to the cabinet and opened it, then took out the sword inside, with some worry in his eyes.

"I really hope that this time, I can personally hand over this sword to you."

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

In the integration movement camp, Luo Ya, who had temporarily finished his work, told the children in the camp a few fairy tales that he had written when he was free, and got along well with the group of little ones.

"Brother Luoya, your sword is so beautiful,"

Looking at the long sword that Roya had on his waist, Ino's eyes sparkled with envy, and the children around him nodded. Although the sword had some cracks and gaps, it made people curious about its past experiences. However, they were sensible enough not to touch Roya's things.

"Of course, and this sword is very important to me."

Roya reached out and ruffled Ino's hair, thinking that he would repair the sword when he had the chance. When the Integration Movement was settled in Casimir, he would find a time to go back and see Abrana. It would seem more sincere if he took the sword with him.

Having already experienced the loss of Abrana's heirloom, Roya thought that if he lost this sword as well, Abrana would probably really make him experience the pain of a broken pelvis.

The still young Ino subconsciously thought of the knights in the stories that Luo Ya told, and immediately became interested.

"Is Brother Na Luoya the legendary swordsman who regards the sword as his life? He looks so handsome!"

"I am a blind man and I am not much of a swordsman. Ino, do you want to learn how to use a sword?"

Facing Luoya's question, Ino shook his head to express denial. Although it seemed handsome, it was not his ideal type.

"I want to be a doctor so I can help everyone. I also want to learn singing so I can sing for Brother Roya, Sister Tallulah, and everyone else to make everyone happy~"

Luoya never discourages other people's dreams, let alone a child like this. After being hurt by others, he can still face the future with such a positive attitude. This means that Ino has let go of the hatred of the past, which is a good thing. Luoya should encourage him more.

"Doctor, I always think that doctor is the most amazing profession in the world. Ino needs to work harder."

The white-haired boy rubbed Roya's palm with a silly smile, and Tallulah's voice sounded directly from behind Roya the next moment.

"He is very motivated. Yesterday he told Alina that he wanted to cure your eyes. How long have you been here and he is so obedient."

The black tail was resting on Roya's shoulder, and Tallulah's smile was brighter than ever. Since she was sure that the black snake was really removed by Roya, she felt much more energetic, as if she had endless energy. Patriot and Froststar could clearly feel her changes.

"Hello, Sister Tallulah. Let's not disturb you brothers and sisters from talking about things for now." Ino greeted Tallulah politely, then stood up from beside Roya and called his friends to go play somewhere else. He was very sensible and obedient.

With no one else around, Tallulah simply sat next to Roya, wagging her tail casually, looking comfortable and relaxed, but she didn't forget to talk about business.

"The Patriots have already planned the route of action. We will have a meeting later to confirm that the transfer of materials is going as planned. We will set off when the King Slayer returns in three days. However, I am a little worried that something might happen to her on a mission alone."

It was a helpless move to let the Kingslayer investigate Roja's background. In the Reunion Movement, only the Kingslayer's ability was most suitable for doing this kind of thing. She was good at lurking and assassinating, and had many ways to escape, but Tallulah was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, she will be fine."

Not to mention that nothing would happen, Luo Ya even had to worry about whether the King Slayer would bring a few more people with him when he came back, such as a certain Miss Lin. It would be impossible for Lin Yuxia to hide the fact that Luo Ya wanted to be investigated in Longmen. Even if the King Slayer was really caught, he would not be troubled.

Tallulah moved a little closer to Roya. She felt more comfortable after hearing what he said. She didn't know why, but she always felt that as long as Roya was around, she would have a sense of security and everything would be fine. She subconsciously wanted to rely on him, but she felt that this was not a good idea, so she could only find another topic to talk about.

"Just like what I said yesterday, each group has spies trying to find out the whereabouts of the Yeti Squad. Next is the Victoria spy I mentioned earlier. Are you sure they can really find us?"

Part of the plan was to use spies in Victoria to deliberately give Ursus the illusion that the Reunion Movement might be heading to Victoria, but Tallulah really doubted whether this would succeed.

"If not, I have already prepared someone to pretend to be Victoria's spy to continue the plan. But I think it will be today or tomorrow. Those Victorian spies are still capable of this."

Tallulah nodded thoughtfully, and before the two of them could continue their conversation, Froststar's voice came over.

"Roya, Tallulah, there are some new discoveries at the sentry post."

Running up to the two of them and seeing Tallulah leaning on Roya, Frost Star suddenly felt that the brother and sister seemed to be acting a little too intimate today?

Judging from Froststar's reaction, Roya estimated that the troops coming were probably not from Ursus, but he continued to ask.

"What did you find?"

Putting aside his doubts about the brother and sister in front of him, Shuangxing answered truthfully.

"A Victorian, as you would expect. Calls himself Grey Hat."

Hearing the three words "grey hat", the smile on Luo Ya's face was somewhat cunning. This was an unexpected but reasonable visitor, so he had to be treated well.

Chapter 114 Gray Hat's Unlucky Day (6k)

"Is this the place? The Reunion... Hmm, it seems like Miss Tallulah isn't doing very well."

The man in the gray hat looked at the dilapidated village not far away, reached out his hand to adjust his hat, walked forward, turned his head to avoid the flying arrows, and then raised his hand to show that he meant no harm.

"Who are you? Don't come any closer!"

The yeti warrior in charge of guarding the sentry waved his hand, and five or six members of the yeti team stood up from the snow, with crossbows and spells all aimed at the gray hat.

Faced with this situation, Gray Hat was not panicked at all. He spent a whole day asking in the nearby villages before he got some clues about the Integration Movement. At that time, he estimated that the scale of the Integration Movement would not be too large, but he did not expect that there would be so many sentries around the Integration Movement's base. However, he was not worried about his own safety relying on these people alone.

"Calm down, my friends. I am not from the Ursus patrol, nor am I a spy."

As he spoke, Gray Hat untied the weapon on his back and threw it aside to show that he had no ill intentions. Several warriors from the Snow Monster Squad looked at each other, and the one who appeared first looked at Gray Hat.

"From Victoria?"

This surprised Gray Hat a little. He had done some special research before coming here. Although the Victoria incident happened more than a month ago, the news about the Integration Movement was blocked in the Snowfield. Logically, he should not have guessed this. Or was it that their intelligence network was not bad?

However, it is not ruled out that there are some people who are more sensitive to the current situation. Well, it could be Tallulah. She got the news when she went to a nearby town to purchase supplies. It seems that she is also a very calculating leader.

Gray Hat felt that this mission was not so easy, because it meant that Tallulah had probably guessed his intention and was well prepared. Moreover, this Integration Movement happened to be an organization of infected people. Even Duke Caster, who was always praised for his tolerance and generosity, would have a headache.

But there was nothing that could be done. A mission was a mission, and it was good enough that they didn't run into the Deep Pool Secretary. You know, the Deep Pool's leader, Abrana, had been expanding her influence since she moved into Londinium. The slogan of the Red Dragon's return was even sung privately in other duchies. The Grand Dukes couldn't do anything on the surface. Even if they wanted to ruin Abrana's reputation, they couldn't do it because the Deep Pool Secretary had already mastered the propaganda channels of various parts of Victoria in advance. A single Grand Duke was no match for her in the public opinion offensive.

A king who respects the wise and loves his people, who does not sit on the throne but personally inquires about the stability of the citizens' lives. It is not difficult for Gray Hat to understand where Abrana's current popularity comes from. Even if she is pretending, she really did it for everyone to see. In comparison, the Grand Duke is surrounded by various scandals among the nobles, and the rumors of his evil intentions have made many people question the Grand Duke.

For this reason, the Grand Dukes of Victoria urgently needed another red dragon to compete with Aburana, and they needed Talullah, a descendant of the red dragon. Since Aburana could win people's hearts with the name of the red dragon, they could certainly shape Talullah into a perfect king to shake Aburana's foundation.

It is a great thing that the Integration Movement has been found now, but I don't know why Gray Hat always feels uneasy. It seems that this interview will not go smoothly. But if it succeeds, Kaister's side will have two red dragons, and then it will be a great achievement for me.

"Hey, are you from Victoria?"

Seeing that Gray Hat didn't reply for a long time, the Snow Monster Team called him, and Gray Hat immediately came back to his senses. He was just thinking a little too much, which is a bad habit, but it was a serious matter and it was difficult not to think too much. After trying hard to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, he tried to make his tone sound more sincere.

"I come here with the Duke's sincerity. Please introduce Miss Tallulah to me."

With Luo Ya's previous instructions, the snow monsters certainly would not embarrass Gray Hat, and did not even check if he had any other weapons. They just kept a safe distance and continued to point crossbows at him.

"You can see Tallulah, but let's go. Don't try to play tricks."

Seeing that a member of the Yeti team left early, most likely to inform Tallulah, the man in the gray hat picked up his weapon and put it on his back, lightly touched the brim of his hat, and expressed his gratitude politely.

"Thank you."

Things went more smoothly than expected. Gray Hat followed the Yeti members into the village and took the opportunity to observe the Integration Movement.

The scale is not big, just as Gray Hat thought, and the combat effectiveness should not be very high. It is estimated that Tallulah is the best fighter here, and they should be short of supplies and weapons. The members seem to be all infected, no wonder they need so many medicines. The reason they have not been wiped out by Ursus for so many years is probably due to the natural geographical advantages of the snowfield. In such an environment, Tallulah must need help from others. Gray Hat has gradually figured out how to convince Tallulah.

The snow monsters walked around the camp casually wearing gray top hats. Many people looked at them curiously, and some couldn't help asking questions out of curiosity.

"Petrova, where did this person come from? He doesn't look like a villager from here, does he?"

The leading snow monster waved his hand to greet the person who asked the question, without hiding anything.

"Oh, this is Victoria. She seems to have something to do with Tallulah."

When they heard the word Victoria, the faces of several people in the crowd changed extremely unnaturally for a moment, and then they pretended to be indifferent and watched the Yeti team wearing gray hats rushing towards Tallulah.

Gray Hat vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he was not sure if he was overthinking it. These guys just let a spy like him walk right past so many people? They had other intentions.

Just as Gray Top Hat was thinking about the purpose of the Reunion Movement, he suddenly felt that the surroundings were getting a little hotter, which made him subconsciously look up at Tallulah who was standing not far away with a greatsword in her hand. She was awe-inspiring, proud and powerful, which was indeed the aura that Draco should have. Gray Top Hat took off his hat and saluted in a measured manner.

"Gray Hat Bellingham, I'm honored to meet Her Highness Tallulah Atrias. The Duke of Caister has asked me to express his highest respect and greetings to you. May the flags of the red dragon and the lion fly forever."

Facing this hypocritical politeness, Tallulah's eyes flashed with disgust. The flags of dragons and lions will always fly? Those grand dukes really have the guts to say all kinds of nonsense. Back then, the lion royal family that joined forces with Aslan forced the Drake clan away, watched the Drake lineage being suppressed and even hunted down, and later pushed King Aslan to the gallows. Now they have the nerve to mention these lies that they themselves don't believe in at all. They are as shameless as Roya said.

But now that Gray Hat is useful to the Reunion Movement, everyone still has to do a good job on the surface. Tallulah will not take direct action, but only signal the snow monsters to go back and continue to guard the post for the time being and let Gray Hat follow her.

"Kaister asked you to find me about the matter of Londinium? It seems that my people are giving you a headache."

Anyone could hear the sarcasm in these words, and the man in the grey hat was not unprepared for being made difficult. Back then, the Drake family was ostracized, suppressed, and even hunted down and persecuted. How could there not be the intentions of some grand dukes behind this? It was not so easy to get them back now that they were needed.

"Your Highness Talulah is right. That usurper has indeed caused us a lot of trouble. But what is even more difficult for Your Excellency the Duke to accept is that she calls herself the successor of the Red Dragon Royal Family. You should be very clear about this. Only you are qualified to truly sit on the throne and wear the crown that symbolizes Victoria's supreme authority."

There was nothing wrong with what Gray Hat said. As the daughter of Alistair, Tallulah actually had stronger inheritance rights than Abranah, because the red dragon lineage to which Abranah belonged had been exiled earlier, and when Tallulah's father was expelled, he also took away the symbol of heir to the throne - a key that could open the underground tomb of the king of Londinium.

Therefore, the grand dukes including Cavendish felt that as long as Tallulah was found, Abramana would become extremely passive.

But Abrana simply disdained this. She knew very well that in the eyes of most people, a red dragon was just a red dragon. Who could tell the difference between branches and non-branches? Anyway, all they needed was a king who could feed them, and she could be that king.

Of course, Tallulah was even more disdainful. She treated the so-called high royal power with contempt. If she really coveted power and status and wanted to be a ruler, she would have become the Black Snake that Kosciuszko wanted long ago. How could she take the initiative to become an infected person and raise the banner of the Integration Movement?

"You said that the red dragon in the deep pool was a usurper. So after I return to Victoria, will someone from Aslan's royal family come out and say that I usurped his throne?"

A little cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the man in the gray hat. He felt that Tallulah was mocking the Duke of Castor behind him, because the Duke of Castor was actually a member of the Aslan royal family, and even the sister of the last deceased King Aslan. It's just that she did not have actual inheritance rights, and it was impossible for other grand dukes to let her take the throne.

"Don't misunderstand, Your Highness Talulah. The Duke has always been kind and tolerant. She has always felt very sorry for what happened back then. In order to prevent the war from harming their people, King Aslan and the Red Dragon King agreed to cease fire and shake hands in peace, and from then on they would rule Victoria together."

Following Tallulah, Gray Hat always kept himself a little behind to show respect for her, while telling her his opinions.

"But later, the Iron Duke and the Duke of Stafford were dissatisfied with the co-rule of the two kings. It may be them who pushed your father to be expelled. Now they are deliberately supporting Abrana to usurp the throne. The Duke of Caster naturally cannot tolerate it."

The Duke of Stafford and the Iron Duke, at least on the surface, are both supporters of Abramana. Especially Stafford is an absolute loyal subject of Abramana. Gray Hat is not afraid of offending people when he says this, anyway, there should be no spies from Deep Pool here.

Tallulah stopped in front of a small house and stared into the eyes of the man in the gray hat, wanting to see what he was planning.

"After all this talk, what can my subordinates and I gain?"

“What we can give depends on what you need.”

Faced with the almost humble attitude of the man in the gray hat, Tallulah almost couldn't help laughing. She really wanted to make some money from Caister, but it was a pity that she could only think about it.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch. Do you think I really don't understand what the people behind you are thinking?"
