Lying is an extremely exciting game.
Gambling, war, politics...these things that everyone is rushing to, all require superb lying skills.
A good liar with good skills, without changing his face, calm and indifferent, pulls out a seamless big lie with his gestures, deceiving people ignorantly, as if he has been in a lifetime, and even has unfinished thoughts. He is addicted to being deceived. Thinking about it again, such liars are usually honored as masters, or even more prominent titles...
But those with bad skills will be full of flaws and make people laugh.
In fact, compared to lying, exposing a lie is also a very interesting thing.
Especially when the liar is still trying to die.
Colin felt the joy now.
Although his heart has long been clear, he is still willing to provide Charles with a stage to perform.
Install, continue to install!
"Colin, what do you mean? What have I exposed? Do you suspect that I am conspiring with the troll to plot against you?"
Charles' expression and tone were just right. In a simple sentence, various complex emotions such as astonishment, shock, grievance, etc. were conveyed.
Colin leaned against the fence with a smile, admiring Charles' performance, and said leisurely: "You said before that this action has actually been approved by the Duke of St. Hilde, and the Duke even promised that as long as I send troops to attack the troll king City, will you marry Vera to me?"
"Yes." Charles nodded immediately.
"Hehe." Colin sneered, "Did you know? Just three days after we set off from Ice Rock City, the Duke of St. Hilde made his public appearance. He first declared the Marquis of Dawson, the Earl of Uman and others as rebels." , ordered the Golden Lions to attack Iron Furnace City.
Afterwards, they received the envoys sent by the major lords to Winter City.
Even the kid from the Longba family was received, but the envoy from Ice Rock City was not received!
And this envoy is the envoy I sent to propose to the Duke. He has been waiting in Winter City for more than two months. "
Charles' expression remained unchanged, and he even showed the same puzzled expression. After thinking for a while, he explained: "Colin, I don't think my father is deliberately targeting Ice Rock City, but wants to wait until you successfully capture the Troll King City before discussing it. I will reward you for your meritorious deeds, and marry Vera to you."
"Really?" Colin nodded in a serious manner, "It makes sense."
Just when Charles breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Colin question again: "Then, how do you explain the time when the trolls sent troops?"
"When will the trolls send out their troops?" Charles looked blank, as if he didn't understand what Colin meant.
"Yes. If I remember correctly, you arrived in Ice Rock City on March 26th."
Seeing Charles nodded, Colin continued with a smile: "However, the time for the trolls to send troops is March 23rd! Even if you got the news the first time the trolls sent troops, then how did you get there? What about rushing from Windhowl Castle to Ice Rock City in just three days
Can you fly
Or did you get the news in advance before the trolls sent troops? "
Hearing this, Charles' heart speeded up suddenly, but his face still showed no abnormality.
"Colin, did you mistake the time when the trolls sent their troops?"
Seeing that Charles was still stubbornly resisting, Colin smiled and shook his head.
He saw the troll army dispatched "with his own eyes" through the eyes of the blood slave, but just three days later, Charles actually appeared in Ice Rock City and brought news of the troll army.
At that time, he concluded that there was something wrong with Charles!
"Did I make a mistake? Then tell me, when exactly did the trolls send out their troops?" Colin looked at Charles with a smile, and reminded, "However, you'd better think it through before you say it, Castle Windhowl There are still many troll prisoners here, if your time is not right with them, it will be difficult to handle."
Having said that, Charles no longer defended himself.
He lowered his head slowly, letting the shadows cover his entire face, and stopped talking.
The cold wind howled, blowing flakes of snow into the watchtower, making the already icy atmosphere here seem to drop a few degrees.
Colin looked at Charles who fell into silence, sighed suddenly, and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the troll should have told you the truth about the fiasco that happened to the northern border at the beginning of last year, right?"
Charles didn't answer.
Just when Colin thought that the other party was going to ignore him, Charles finally said, "Yes."
His voice became as cold as ice, and the cold air that came out was even lower than the temperature on the ice field in the sky at this time.
"So, you have a grudge against the Duke of St. Hilde and decided to take this opportunity to take revenge on the northern border?"
"That's right!" Charles raised his head again, with undisguised hatred in his eyes, "My good father regards everyone as his tool, his pawn, and in order to achieve his goal, he can do it without hesitation." Abandon us!
The 200,000 northern soldiers, hundreds of northern lords, and countless northern citizens who died in war and famine were all insignificant in his eyes.
As for me, Adams, Vera, and Uncle Garcia, and of course you, Colin.
In his eyes, it is worthless!
Tell me, what qualifications does such a person have to become the lord of the northern border, and what qualifications does he have to win the allegiance of you and me? "
"Is this the reason for your betrayal?" Colin looked at Charles coldly. "What is the difference between you now and the Duke of St. Hilde? Colluding with trolls, framing your compatriots, and causing the northern border to fall into a bigger crisis Chaos, you are just a careerist who only cares about your own interests, don't put on a face of doing justice for the sky."
Charles chuckled, and didn't care about Colin's sarcasm. Instead, he persuaded, "Colin, it's too late for you to regret it now. I can help you speak a few words in front of Mr. Xie, and I'm sure he will be willing to accept your allegiance."
Colin laughed loudly, and said mockingly, "Do you really think that the conspirator of the San Theon family will win?"
Charles shook his head: "Until the dust settles, no one dares to say that the victory is certain. However, I don't want to live in the shadow of the Duke of St. Hilde anymore. What about you? Colin, since you know what he said After everything you have done, why do you still choose to continue to work for him?"
"I didn't die for him."
"What is that for?"
Colin pointed down, and under the moonlight, a group of black cavalry soldiers could be vaguely seen patrolling.
"Black Cavalry? Oh, I understand." Charles' expression suddenly dawned on him.
This black cavalry army established by Marquis Garcia grew up in bloody battles with trolls, and the hatred for trolls has been thoroughly integrated into the soul of this army.
If Colin chooses to make peace with the troll, he will completely lose the morale of the Black Cavalry Army. Even if the Black Cavalry Army is willing to continue fighting for him under the oath, they will never maintain their current invincible combat effectiveness.
What's more, Colin wanted to marry Vera wholeheartedly.
If the Santheon family were allowed to rule the northern border, Vera would completely lose her transcendent status.
Moreover, the Uman family, an important helper of the Santheon family, has a grudge against Colin.
In short, unless it was absolutely necessary, Colin would never join the San Theon family.
Seeing that Colin could not be persuaded, Charles said helplessly, "Okay, then I wish you the best of luck in surviving in the vortex in the northern border."
"Northern territory? There is no hurry there, let them bite the dog for a while. I'd better taste the big meal prepared by the troll first!"
Charles was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't believe it: "Do you still want to continue attacking the troll king's city?"
Colin showed an inscrutable smile:
"Yeah, they're all here."
