In Greycastle’s living room, Roland quietly looked at the old man in front of him.

He was in a wheelchair, his hair was gray, his cheeks were sunken, and the wrinkles on his forehead were high and heared, and he was almost at the end of the years. However, compared to his age, his eyes are not too turbid, and he still looks angry. The monocles on the tip of the nose and the black bow tie between the necks further strengthen this feeling. While Roland was looking at him, he was also looking at Roland.

After a few moments, Roland broke the silence and showed a smile. “It’s not easy to get you from Dawn. Welcome to Greycastle new King, Mr. Barry Lothar, all the hard work.”

“It’s my pleasure to get the King of Greycastle’s summons…” The other person bowed his head slightly. “Just I don’t know what Your Majesty is looking for?”

“You have contributed a lot to Greycastle and don’t need to do anything more.”

“I?” He clearly showed an unexpected look, “Your Majesty, have you made a mistake?”

Generally, people of this age will have a sharp decline in their thinking speed. They will be unclear and intermittent, but Barry will not only answer the first time, but also control the facial muscles to make a disguise. This is enough to prove his The brain has never stopped thinking about it. His consciousness may more accurately reflect his own condition than the aging that the body cannot reverse.

“I know you have concerns, but rest assured, I don’t have any maliciousness with Black Money.” Roland spreads both hands, “Tell the message to your ‘god’s envoy’, which is part of Neverwinter. In fact, I asked them to send a message.”

At the mouth of Parsha, Barry was recruited to Greycastle for the reason that the conversion ceremony had arrived. After the target was determined, the person was forced to bring it back to the castle. Although the technique was slightly rough, the victory was straightforward.

“Your Majesty… I don’t quite understand what you mean…”

“It’s okay, I will say that you understand it – it’s a very tortuous story, but it’s a real thing.” Roland told the ancient witch’s past about it, and also said the God Punishment Army conversion ceremony. The essence. The soul container can only collect the consciousness of the demon person. In other words, the unmagic can only become the body.

Turning into a body without self is in some sense also consistent with the ancient witch’s rhetoric. If Black Money is only an ordinary underground chamber, he will not care too much. But in the battle against the Devil Western Front Army, Black Money made a great contribution, not only assisted the First Army to prop up the theater intelligence network of Wolf Heart and Eternal Winter, but also sent key intelligence several times to fill the witch. The detection gap in the red mist area.

Maybe Barry did this for the sake of human destiny or to save his compatriots, but this contribution is real. Roland doesn’t think it’s a good reward to turn such a person who is a good person into a loss of consciousness. So he decided to meet with him personally.

After a long time, Barry Lothar slowly took off the reading glasses, and the voice trembled a little. “What do you mean, longevity is just a scam?”

Roland sighed. “At the moment, it can be a demonist who can remain unmaintained on the basis of maintaining consciousness. For humans, it is a witch.”

Even if he opened up the world of dreams, he could not be sensed by the soul container.

“After I can drink those medicines, my body is really getting better -”

“Those potions can’t be said to have no effect. It increases the success rate of rituals through overdraft vitality, but it can’t be used endlessly.” Roland shook his head and interrupted. “Soon its side effects will appear, and this is me. Why are you rushing to find you?”

Barry took a moment. “What do you mean, I haven’t had much time…”

“Sorry,” Roland regrets. “I can’t make this promise perfect. I can only compensate in other ways. Black Money has protected the witch and made a contribution to the War of Divine Will. If you have what you want.” It can be raised, and this is a deserved return.”

Nightingale once asked him why he didn’t let Parsha solve the problem himself. To be in the identity of King is to transfer the consequences of this scam to Greycastle.

Her thoughts can’t be wrong, but Roland knows that since Greycastle accepts Taqila witch in its entirety, they can’t just enjoy the benefits they bring. It is also an obligation to accept them on their behalf.

“…” Barry was silent for a long time. “Can you handle it even if it is in Dawn?”

“You should know that I am influential in the Kingdom of Dawn.”

“Then I will be relieved.” Unexpectedly, the other party did not despair or become hysterical, but showed a calm smile. “I hope to live longer, I want to keep Black Money for the children. – If I die, other noble businessmen will never let go of the opportunity to divide it, and in the face of a large enough interest, several lives are insignificant. If Your Majesty is willing to get involved, I don’t think anyone dares to act rashly, this Even more reliable than my personal longevity. If so, what else do I complain about?”

Roland indulged in a small meeting. “Are you sure this is the reward you want?”

“Your Majesty, can’t you…do you?”

“It’s not impossible.” He paused. “I wonder if you have heard of the name Rainbow Stone?”

“I heard it,” Barry thought. “It seems to be a new clothing line in your country. It’s a big scale. Some of the finished products are still sold to Dawn – but I’m blunt, in style and design, it’s far Not as good as us.”

Because the craftsmen that Victor is looking for are all from the Lothar Family… and he didn’t tell you that in Neverwinter City, this dress is only one-tenth the price of other hand-woven garments. Roland coughed twice. “As far as I know, the founder of this clothing line is Victor Lothar, your 4th child. In addition, the income of the clothing company has been converted to more than 10,000 gold royals. At the moment, I feel that even without Greycastle as a backer, he will not easily lose to the merchant family.”

Ten thousand gold royals are by no means a small number. Neverwinter used to have only Chaos Drink to exceed this number – the reason is simple, not everyone needs a drink, but everyone has to dress. As the population of Neverwinter is highly centralized, the scale of basic needs will only expand further. In the face of foreseeable industrialized production profits, the turnover of the underground chambers of commerce is not worth mentioning.

This time Barry really showed a surprised look. “Your Majesty, what do you say… is it true? He has rarely contacted me since leaving Shining Light City… I thought he was still doing the previous jewelry. Acting…”

“Victor is now in Neverwinter. It is not difficult for you to see him. It is better to verify it in person. But… you have to hurry.”

“Yes… I know.” Barry couldn’t help but grab the wheel, which apparently exaggerated the idea of ​​the bottom of heart. “Please let me retire, Your Majesty.”

Roland nodded and was preparing to call him personal guard. When he sent him out, he suddenly said, “You said that my time is running out… Can it let me spend the last moment on the floating island?”

“…” Roland closed his eyes, “if you wish so.”

After the door was closed, Nightingale showed up and whispered, “Weird…”

“what happened?”

“He was a bit strange at first, but he couldn’t say it was a lie, but the magic power gave me a very vague feeling, not as calm as he did.” Nightingale shrugged.

“So that’s it,” Roland thought.

“Do you know why?”

“Probably.” He slowed down his voice and looked out the window. “Longevity is always full of temptations. If expectations are lost, no one will accept it easily.”

“But that’s not lie.” Nightingale stressed.

“Because he knows that no matter what he does, he can’t change the result.” Roland said with some emotions, “If you can’t change, you have to accept it – it’s better to pretend to be vengeful with King of Greycastle. Any unnecessary emotions will become sunk costs, which is probably his idea. There are many people who understand this, but there are few who can really do it… This is his powerful place.”

He has some understanding, the reason why these big businessmen will be treated as noble in Dawn – the control ability and stop loss awareness, even in politics can exceed most noble.

“It’s you -” Roland said, “I can’t help but look at Nightingale. “Now I can not only distinguish the true and false, but even the inner emotions can be felt. Are you about to evolve?”

“Do you think that when I evolved, I would deliberately not say it – or is it still so modest?” Nightingale gave him a sigh of relief.

Oh, it makes sense to make it right.

Roland closed his mouth with interest.
