"You have found the right person," Hood said with a grin, his voice was hoarse, making it difficult to tell the exact age of ?21?? "Don't look at me living in the outer city, I happened to be near the palace on the day of the incident, As soon as the roar sounded, I ran outside the gate of the palace wall. ΔYou probably don’t know how amazing that loud noise is. If the thunder in the sky is blooming on the ground, it is only the same. The windows of the surrounding houses are either paper or glass. Yes, all of them were destroyed by invisible forces, and some people were scared to death because of sudden noises…”
Each rat claimed that it happened to be nearby and had seen it all, but a comparison revealed that everyone's account was different. "Okay, stop talking about these meaningless things. How did it come about?" Otto Losey interrupted, "Is this incident really related to the fourth prince... Roland Wimbledon?"
Hood coughed twice and stretched out his right hand, "Of course I can tell you, but..."
"You need to measure all things," Otto unbuttoned his pockets, "how much?"
The so-called measure of all things is just another name for the Golden Dragon, and there are only a group of mice who like to set up some simple passwords or passwords to show off the mystery, and there is no level at all.
The other side made two gestures.
He took out two golden dragons and put them into the hands of the hood, "This is not a cheap fee, I hope your news can be worthy of it."
"Of course, this is related to the credibility of Skull Fingers," the other party showed a greedy smile and put the golden dragon in his arms.
The reputation of the mouse is probably as absurd as the benevolence of the king, Otto snorted coldly in his heart, "Go ahead."
"I'll answer your first question first." Probably because the reward was in his arms, and his hood's posture was much more relaxed, he took a sip of ale, leaned back on the chair, and then pointed to the ceiling, "Thunder comes from the sky. "
"What do you mean," Otto frowned.
"Didn't you ask how the bang came about?" the other party said in a low voice, "All thunder comes from the sky, and this time is no exception. I saw with my own eyes, before the roar sounded, a white stone floated in After the palace, what happened next."
"Absurd! Do you want to tell me that a boulder fell from the sky and smashed most of the palace down?"
"Hey, what I said is absolutely true, otherwise Skullfinger wouldn't assign this job to me, and if you think I'm talking nonsense, you can leave now," Hood shrugged, "but the fee will not be refunded. "
"... continue talking." Otto suppressed his displeasure.
"From the time the stone appeared to the time it fell into the palace, it only took a few breaths, but I could see clearly at the time that the thing was not big and the speed was not fast. It is probably impossible to destroy the palace of the sky, so I will say It's floating. In addition, at the same time as the loud noise and thick smoke appeared, I also saw the rolling fire, the force was overwhelming, and it was definitely not caused by the impact." The hood smacked his lips, "In fact, His Majesty Tifeko finally Hasn’t the search and rubbing confirmed this? The inner city has been closed and cleaned up several times, and no suspects have been caught. In addition, the palace area itself is heavily guarded. If the attack does not come from the sky, where else can it come from?”
He took another sip of the ale, "As for the firelight and smoke, it's very much like what happens when an alchemical item called snow powder burns, and that's why I'm sure it's an attack. By the way, about snow Fan news, I also know some, but you have to pay extra for it, just…”
"No, I don't want to know," interrupted Otto. He had heard of this thing from other sources. It was originally a celebration item, and it could be used as a weapon after improvement. It is unlikely that the mouse would know its specific ingredients, so there was no need for him to waste money here.
"Okay, now to answer your second question." Hood spread his hands in disapproval, "This matter undoubtedly has a lot to do with the Fourth Prince."
"What's the reason?"
"I don't know when you arrived in the capital? Of course, I'm not asking about your origin or... identity, this is the rule of the black street, you don't need to answer me," the other party chuckled, "I mean Yes, if you arrived in the capital in early autumn, you must know one thing: His Majesty the King sent an army of thousands to attack the western border, but very few came back alive, and these defeated soldiers also carried the fourth prince with them. Your Majesty's document."
All six mice mentioned this matter, which seemed to be basically correct, but he still had to ask two more questions, "You mean the notice about revenge? It's really sensational. Are you sure this is not a folk rumor?"
"Most of the documents followed the troops into the palace, and a small amount was basically seized by the city hall, but the skeleton finger always surprises customers. In fact, I have a preserved notice here." Hood stretched out With five fingers, "Considering that it is a handwritten letter from the prince, and the quantity is rare, the price will be a little higher, what do you think?"
…
Otto Rossi returned to the palace against the cold wind, and Belinda immediately greeted him, "Any news?"
"It's not too much, but I got a document from the Fourth Prince." He handed the crumpled note to him, then took off his coat and sat in front of the fireplace, explaining in detail about his inquiries. The answer to the second question is basically the same. With this note, the result should have been clear that Roland Wimbledon is not as weak as His Majesty the King said. Covenant, maybe it is not beneficial, and it will give itself a troublesome enemy."
"But to the first question, the mice responded differently," Belinda frowned.
"This proves that the attack is very strange, and almost no one knows how it was born. Instead, I believe in the last mouse." Otto took a sip of hot tea, let out a long breath, and stayed in the cheap pub. For a long time, I felt uncomfortable all over.
"From the sky?" Belinda looked at him in surprise. "Are you crazy?"
"Of course not. If I hadn't seen this document, I wouldn't have dared to think about it. He is confident in the timing and location of the attack. Only by attacking from the sky can he overcome the towering city walls and strict defense lines, and let him attack. No well-informed rat will know," he pouted, "but that's not the point, the point is what we should do next."
"The threat of the church is imminent, they should end the confrontation and unite against foreign enemies."
"That's not something we can decide," Otto shook his head. "The only thing we can do is to try our best to win reliable allies for the Kingdom of Dawn. His Majesty Timothy Wimbledon seems... unreliable now. ."
"Don't you want to go to the Western Region?" Belinda was slightly startled, "Isn't it under the influence of the Moon of Demons and in danger?"
"Compared to the danger of the collapse of the kingdom, this is nothing," he made up his mind after a moment of silence, "you just stay here and wait for the new king's reply. I will go alone on this trip to the west.".
