Teahouse garden.

Under the cool and quiet green vine, Winnie carefully picked up the teacup and drank it lightly, but her eyes kept secretly staring at the young man in front of her.

Not long ago, she had just finished the experiment and suddenly received a strange letter. Before opening the letter, she vaguely guessed who the owner of the letter was.

The result was no surprise or joy, but in fact she was not wrong.

And what was his purpose of finding him? Was he here to ask for the poison she asked her to make last time? Thinking of this, she carefully prepared everything when she went out.

When she came to the unfamiliar agreed place in the letter, she saw him as she wished.

He still had no change, still maintaining a quiet face, and his movements were still elegant when drinking tea, as if no one was around.

“Here is what you need.”

Putting the small suitcase in his hand in front of him was the first thing Winnie did.

The young man nodded, opened the suitcase and asked some questions about the colorful potions inside, and then he didn't say much, and then asked the servant to prepare a simple lunch and deliver it.

He and her are now at the end of lunch.

Before getting the other party's permission, Winnie did not dare to leave or even speak. She could only wait, waiting for his words.

"My cooperation with you may be terminated."

Putting down the teacup, his first words made her feel cold. If it weren't for him, how would she obtain the generous sponsorship of her future experiments?

So she asked quickly, "Why?"

"Because of my relationship, you may be killed by someone these days. If you die, the cooperation will naturally end."

He gave such a devastating answer.

"I'll die? Why do I die?"

Threat or fear, death is the bottom line that humans cannot bear. Winnie is a normal person. She is afraid of death, and even more afraid of dying before her ideal is completed.

"I killed someone. Maybe the person behind him doesn't know who I am, or maybe he knows who I am. If it was the former, I can congratulate you on your death. If it was the latter, I'm sorry, you will definitely die."

Although she was talking nonsense, Winnie also understood that once someone noticed the relationship between him and her, she might be implicated to death innocently.

After a brief panic, Winnie calmed down and her small body shrank in her big cloak also poked out.

“How can you avoid death?”

She knew that even though she complained a lot at this time, it would be useless. Now, what she needs most is self-rescue.

"Leave here and leave this kingdom."

Xia Lan sighed slightly, as if she was moved, "In the near future, perhaps this place will become a cage of despair."

Winnie looked at him with confusion. She didn't understand what his last sentence meant, but she got a way to save herself.

Leaving the capital and leaving this kingdom? Do you want to start wandering alone? During the unknown journey, I don’t know how many thorns and traps are everywhere, and she can survive it alone? No, she doesn’t believe that she has this ability.

After all, she is just an ordinary girl with talent for potions.

Without experimental sponsorship, no channels for promotion, no ideals... that kind of life is simply worse than death.

She was silent, depressed.

"Will you leave the capital in the future?"

She raised her head, and looked at him seriously with her round eyes on her tender little face.

"If I hadn't died at that time, I would have left." He said.

"Even leaving this kingdom?" she asked again.

"Yes."

"If one day you leave, I hope you can bring me."

The girl's eyes were filled with unthinking determination without hesitation.

Xia Lan frowned slightly, subconsciously shook her head at the girl's request, and said, "I won't take any burden."

"Why am I a burden?" the girl asked back.

"Because you will bring me a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"Is it unnecessary concern?"

The girl was thinking, and after a moment, she raised her neck and a faint arrogance flowed out of her eyes.

"If you don't need to take into account everything about me at all, and everything will be done as you wish, and I will not cause you any trouble, and even provide you with the necessary help, will I still become your burden?"

Xia Lan thought about it carefully and found that the girl's words were indeed correct.

If all the premises are as she said, then to a certain extent, she can even bring him certain benefits, such as a potion to heal physical trauma and assist in killing!

"What's your reason?"

Yes, what is the reason for her to follow him? He can imagine many reasons, but he wants to get the real answer from her.

"Because I have no money, and if I want to be promoted, I must need a lot of money experiments. At present, you are the only one who is willing to invest in me."

Winnie seemed very straightforward to this question.

Love money and live without hesitation? Or is it because she has other reasons?

Xia Lan didn't want to ask in depth. Everyone has their own reasons to live, and everyone has their own ideals to pursue. Since she is willing to give everything for it, he doesn't care about it.

Money is what he values ​​the least, because at his level, it is only a very simple thing to want money, especially since he has no slight resistance to crime.

Since murder can be numb, then robbery and theft is even more trivial.

Without the morals and laws that bind ordinary people, people will become scruples.

"I admit that you do have the value of use that I value, and I will not be stingy with investing in you at all, but the premise of all this is that you will not cause me any trouble."

"Of course, all of this is the key to our cooperation."

Winnie finally smiled.

"The town of Ayen in Torofi Province will be where we meet." Xia Lan suddenly said.

“There is—”

The girl frowned and asked inquisitively.

"The town bordering the Kingdom of Adria and the Principality of Sissinia." Xia Lan said calmly.

"Will we go to the Principality of Sissinia in the future? I heard that there is not peace now."

Winnie suddenly thought of something and said.

“Where is there real peace in this world?”

"I hope I don't wait until winter comes."

The dividing line between the Kingdom of Adria and the Principal of Sissinia is the magnificent Leraso Mountains. Once winter comes and heavy snow covers the mountains, the exchanges between the two countries will be cut off immediately. At that time, they may have to spend a long and severe winter in the town of Ayen until spring comes.

"If you haven't seen me a year later, then you don't need to wait any longer." Xia Lan picked up the teacup, lowered her head and savored.

"Why?"

"Because I was dead by that time."

Winnie laughed dryly, and seemed helpless to the young man who said death lightly in front of her. Maybe this was an excuse for him to get rid of him, but is he such a person? She didn't know, so she could only hope that he could fulfill his promise.

"What will happen in the future to Wangdu?"

After letting go of the burden in his heart, the girl unconsciously became interested in what he said just now. Sometimes, never underestimate a woman's curiosity.

Of course, she just asked casually, but in fact she didn't think the other party would answer, but he really answered.

"Perhaps, the prince's throne battle decades ago will repeat itself."

Decades ago?

Winnie opened her eyes wide because she thought of a royal taboo that she often heard after coming to the capital.

His Majesty the King, who was now on the throne when he stepped on his brother's body, took the bloody coup. During that coup, the blood of countless nobles and civilians almost dyed this ancient and heavy capital red.

Could the coup from that year be repeated again? No wonder he said that this place would become a desperate cage. Think about it carefully, a cold and cold suddenly appeared from his back.

Xia Lan was drinking tea silently. Although he vaguely noticed the restlessness in the past, his final judgment was almost exactly the same as his thoughts when he talked to Lao Xiake, which made him pay more attention to this matter.

He did not think that the eldest prince Sasso was planning a coup deliberately. Perhaps he had thought of this, but now? A person who possessed political superiority did not need to take unnecessary risks at all, so the answer was completely directed at another person.

Augustine Lucky Wolance!

Old Shake once said that the fourth prince Worance is the person who looks the most like the king of that year.

His character and his means seemed to be a copy carved from a mold.

Xia Lan has always wondered why the fourth prince instructed Tirrant to launch a college riot behind his back. What is his purpose? Why did he keep a low profile when he was under house arrest? However, the most important thing is that there is a shadow of subverting fangs behind him!

He would never believe that the evil and powerful dark organization Subvert Fang, the evil and powerful dark organization, would participate in the battle for the throne of a remote country for no reason!

Recalling the early invasion of Sugarro's undead, Salice left the kingdom early to go on the battle... A series of strange things combined together, he could imagine that behind the scenes of the whole thing, there must be an invisible black hand silently controlling it.

Who is the Black Hand? Subvert Fang or Wallace, or both!
