Early in the morning.

At dawn, there was a knock on the hotel door and the person who came was from the palace.

Lan Zhe got up early and enthusiastically made breakfast for Suli. While he was carrying the plate to the table, he asked casually, "Who asked you to come?"

The visitor mentioned a name that took him a while to process.

"It's His Highness Willard."

This is about the unlucky child who was taken to the Mercenary City by the king a long time ago, with the intention of killing him. In fact, the king intended to use the tool heir to find out the internal defense of the Mercenary City in order to capture the city of Sadina.

However, when it comes to the name Willard, Lan Zhe's deepest memory of him is that Willard chose to deliver intelligence through the conventional method of sending letters.

It's really hard to put it into words.

Lan Zhe looked at the sky outside the door. Compared with the chaotic scene yesterday, it was only foggy this morning, which made him feel pretty good.

Therefore, Lan Zhe naturally ignored the person who brought the message and kept hinting at him to call Suli down.

Only after all the food was placed on the table did the Dark Saint look up at the young man walking down the stairs.

Sully's complexion, which was relatively natural yesterday, looked a little pale today.

Given the physical condition of an ordinary person and a child, not only did they get caught in the rain, but they also had a stressful conversation with a group of adults in the middle of the night. It is understandable that they would feel a little uncomfortable afterwards.

Suli gathered the scarf around his neck, sniffed, and said hello to Lan Zhe: "Good morning."

He saw at a glance that our breakfast was more or less neatly arranged, and could even be called a sumptuous one.

At this point, Suli put his hands together and thanked you sincerely: "I feel that I can still live peacefully until now, all thanks to you."

At one point in the hotel, Sully felt that even with the support of Prince Ophelia, bankruptcy should be its fate.

Lan Zhe patted his forehead and said, "…So should I say good morning to you now, or should I just pretend I didn't hear anything?"

Sully: "It would probably be best if you sit down and have dinner with me."

Suli saw the smile on Lanzhe's lips.

Last night's conversation was like the enlightenment of a retired office worker.

Men who talk too much are annoying, but men who don't talk are more outrageous than men who talk too much. Sully neither says things that shouldn't be said nor says things that are offensive.

In other words, he can say whatever he wants at any time.

Although one cannot help but feel that even if the way these conversations are not deliberate, they will seem more deliberate because the other person's reactions are already anticipated.

Suli finished eating the stomach-nourishing porridge that Lan Zhe had prepared early in the morning, and then he put down the spoon gently without making any obvious movement, and then asked, "Who is this?"

Suli fixed his eyes on the messenger.

Unexpectedly, when the man heard his voice, he looked terrified and said quickly, "Hello, I am one of His Highness Willard's knights. The purpose of my visit this time is that His Highness invites you to visit the palace."

Sully quickly realized what the name Willard meant, and then his memory couldn't help but recall the image of Willard standing behind his mother.

As soon as Sully recalled the series of events that had happened before, the first thing that came to his mind was the scene of Willard taking refuge with his evil mother.

This conversation was most likely about how to deal with the king and Ophelia who were unconscious yesterday.

Willard, a kid who was the same age as Sully physically, did not leave a good impression on him.

Even the intelligence that Willard had proactively passed on before was only passed on that one time, so Sully's impression of him was greatly blurred by time.

So even though he knew that Willard had found a new partner, Sully's mind was filled with thoughts that it didn't matter.

However, when he thought about the news that the other party had once conveyed, which indeed opened the prelude to the false truth of this world, Suli also felt that he really needed to meet him.

However, as for bringing people along, after much thought, I decided to bring along Lan Zhe, who was in a good mental state.

Although the latter asked: "Is it really okay not to bring Egg?"

Sully answered seriously, "He received too much information yesterday and it will take him some time to react. We should not put any extra burden on his brain at this time."

Lan Zhe was delighted when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "So you mean that now that I understand what you said last night, you can tell me your new ideas and decisions more freely?"

Suli waved his hand: "No, I think that as a dark elementalist, you should follow your own wishes."

"So no matter how much new information I put into your brain, it will probably just be equivalent to me telling you some real-life stories that are comparable to ghost stories."

Egbert would still care a little bit, because what Sully said came from Sully's own thoughts.

It was because of Sully that Egbert wanted to understand Sully's thoughts.

But the Dark Son is different.

Lan Zhe just thought, now that the story is told, when should we start working?

Just remember to call him when you are working.

That's the mentality.

He doesn't care how absurd this world is. Lan Zhe only cares about when Suli plans to start messing with this world.

But his mentality is different from the thinking in this world which is influenced by the monster bloodline.

His way of thinking is simply different from that of ordinary people.

But Sully accepted it well, and even felt that Lan Zhe, who showed this attitude, was more suitable to go with him to meet Willard and carry out some conspiracy.

Besides, it would also successfully prevent Egbert from burning his own brain.

Suli briefly explained why he was chosen, and in the blink of an eye he saw Lanzhe's face full of speechlessness.

Finally, Lan Zhe, who had been holding back for a long time, said, "I'm glad that you can become more lively than before, but it's a bit too much to activate my blood circulation while you're being lively."

I feel like hitting someone.

And he still wants to hit a specific person (Egbert).

In short, it was all Egbert's fault.

Lan Zhe quickly comforted himself and then went to the palace with Suli.

After entering the palace, Suli looked at the many ruined buildings without changing his expression. He did not think that this was his fault at all. He calmly followed the guide to one of the side halls that had barely survived.

Willard was there.

However, Willard did not maintain a condescending attitude. On the contrary, the moment he saw Sully, this boy, who was half a head taller than Sully, took three or two big strides and walked up to him.

"It's been a long time, sir."

Suli wondered who he had learned this ridiculous nickname from, and said, "I am not so young that I have 4.0 vision and could not see you following the Queen yesterday."

Willard was stunned.

Sully looked up at him. Compared to Sully, who had dark circles under his eyes due to a lack of sleep for several days, Willard could now enter the zoo at any time...

The kind that is exhibited.

As Sully was letting his mind run wild, Willard came to his senses and said with a guilty look, "You said you wanted to be the best knife in the master's hand, but up to now, the only achievement you can show is to catch Ophelia who fell into a coma because of your influence."

Sully felt his scalp tingling at his expression.

He chose not to take the blame.

"You were able to find her before Ophelia's men. Conversely, you can be said to have control over some areas of the palace."

Willard looked at Sully who was speaking calmly. He felt that his eyes were extremely gentle and even the tone of his voice was forgiving.

Willard's heart was tense all the time, but the feeling of being useless suddenly relaxed. He felt a lump in his throat and almost cried.

Since being locked up in the dungeon by Ophelia, Willard has truly felt what it means to live in hell.

Sewage, rats, cockroaches...even water snakes became his companions during that time.

After Ophelia left, Willard tried his best to promise the guards benefits before they let him go.

But the benefits did not materialize, and the result was that all the guards died.

This opened the door to a new world for Willard.

——Only the dead can avoid all risks.

At that time, when he first learned that Ophelia had gone to the Mercenary City, his new thought was not how to save Sully, but...

How to kill a king.

What is Ophelia's capital? The king's favor, of course.

What if the king dies?

The mother of an ordinary concubine, with no relatives to rely on, and her own talents are not particularly outstanding...

From any perspective, as long as the king is dead, Ophelia is no longer a threat.

Let’s not talk about how Willard came up with this answer, but as a boy who was half a year younger than him, when he was at this age to trick the king, he actually succeeded in poisoning him.

However, sudden death is easy to be exposed, so Willard chose chronic poison/drug.

Who knew that it would be too late? When Mavis confronted the king, she happened to be poisoned.

She originally wanted to kill the king directly as ordered by the Pope, but then she changed her mind and just stabbed him a few more times to ensure that the king would not die on the spot. However, she was not 100% sure that the king would survive.

When the king was in this Schrodinger's state, Willard thought he was about to succeed, but Ophelia came back.

What's weird is that Ophelia also wants to kill the king.

Willard, who was delayed in intelligence and simply thought that Ophelia was the biggest threat, was stunned on the spot.

Willard's mother gave Willard, who had taken the initiative to surrender, a sentence, which roughly meant that he was just sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

Willard felt that this was not possible. After much thought, he decided that no matter what Ophelia thought, the king had to die first.

As a result, the king who was poisoned and stabbed by the Dark Saint not only did not die, he also woke up.

Moreover, the Pope who woke the king up died, and Lyra died with him.

Willard: ???

When everything was over that day, Willard, who had joined forces with Shi's mother to test which prince and princess faction Sully and the others belonged to, had a strange expression on his face.

But he still persevered through the day, waiting for the meeting early in the morning.

For example, right now, he really wants to know...

"Meredith Amixbee, do you want to die or not?"
