Working Prophet

"Do you know my father?" Ilea stopped.

"I don't know him, but I did hear some things about him from the birds." The man in the cell said, "something you should be interested in, the birds told me that his death was not Surprise... Oh, it seems you already know that you are smarter than many people think."

The girl was noncommittal and just continued, "What did you hear about my father's death?"

"He was murdered, by someone he trusted."

"Sir Carloman, he was my father's best friend."

"That's right, but Sir Carloman is not the mastermind. In fact, he was also forced." The man in the cell stood up with difficulty, and the iron chain clanged behind him.

"Sir Carloman has only one son, Hugo, who is just sixteen years old this year. He regards that child as a treasure, but...boys are always very naughty at this age. He got into trouble in Rock Snow City about a year ago. , fell in love with a woman he shouldn’t have fallen in love with.”

"The only son of Sir Carloman, the future heir to Acorn Castle, there is nothing a girl in the West cannot pursue with this status."

"Yes, but he fell in love with a married woman, and the lady returned his passionate love. They secretly dated several times in private, and the places became more and more daring. The last time , in the bedroom.

"But unfortunately halfway through, the owner of the bedroom returned and they were caught. Witnessing this heartbreaking scene made the lady's husband furious, and then sent Hugo an invitation to a duel.

"It's a pity that the future heir of Acorn Castle, his swordsmanship is not as good as his performance in the bed, if the duel is really held as scheduled, he will undoubtedly die.

"Sir Carloman didn't want to watch his only son die, so he pleaded with the lady's husband and offered to pay a huge amount of compensation for the stupid thing his son committed, but the other party refused him without hesitation.

"Just when Sir Carloman was at a loss, a big man found him and was willing to come forward to help him settle this matter, but in return, he must also do something for that big man."

"In the end, he killed my father for that man." The female lord took a deep breath, "Your bird friends know a lot."

"They are everywhere, and they can come and go anywhere in the world at will without arousing suspicion. After all, who would be wary of these little birds that can be seen everywhere? No secret can be hidden from them."

The man in the cell smiled.

His words also made the girl shudder, and she suddenly felt that the surrounding became unsafe.

There are a lot of birds on the Arias family property, and she actually saw a blue tit on the windowsill this morning when she opened the window.

I saw crows outside the dungeon just now. If they could all be spies, wouldn't her every move be watched by others, with no privacy at all.

Fortunately, the next moment she heard Li Yu say, "Don't be fooled by him. Birds have not evolved language at all, let alone know Sir Carloman and his son, and he cannot communicate with birds. Otherwise, he would have discovered the trap we set long ago, how could he and the black dragon fall into the trap?"

"Yes." Miss Rabbit suddenly realized, and the uneasy feeling of being spied on disappeared.

Merlin was as reliable as ever.

The girl is now lucky that she picked up Li Yu first.

Then she looked at the man in the cell again, and her eyes became cold, "You know so clearly, it seems you must know the person who murdered my father, and maybe you made a plan with him."

The man didn't seem to expect that his lie would be exposed on the spot.

Moreover, the word evolution that Li Yu mentioned before was also very new to him. He couldn't help but look Li Yu up and down again.

"Your Excellency must be the prophet of the Shuangxiu Sect. Recently, there have been many stories about your deeds in the Western Region. I have also admired your name for a long time."

After saying that, he looked at the female lord again, "Okay, you caught me. The black dragon is indeed under my control, but I have nothing to do with your father's death."

Seeing the other party change his words so quickly and neatly, Ilea was a little surprised.

Because once he admits his relationship with the black dragon, it means cutting off the last chance of survival. The nobles in the Western Region will never let him go.

The man in the cell seemed particularly calm at this time, "I know I am dead this time. In this case, I have no need to keep secrets for that person anymore.

"I just hope that you can keep your previous promise and let me live more comfortably in the days before I die."

"It depends on how valuable the information you provide is." The girl said.

"The person who murdered your father was the second son of Marquis Cullen, Hers. Ah, it seems that you have known about this for a long time, but don't worry, the next thing is the point... Hers is not dead.

"I can't kill my employer as well." The man in the cell blinked. "After killing many lords who supported his brother, Hells was also worried that someone would doubt him. .

"So he made an appointment with me to act in a play, and let the black dragon 'kill' him in front of thousands of people. In this way, he could clear away the suspicion, and he could also get away from it. He temporarily stepped away from the incident, but in fact the person who was killed was just his stand-in.

"You see, you are not the only ones who know how to make a fool of yourself in the east and attack the west."

"Where is he now?"

"I don't know." The man in the cell shrugged, "Hels is a very cautious person, especially when it comes to matters like his life. He trusts even fewer people. I'm obviously not in that position. list, but I know what he plans to do next.

"He will kill his father and brother, clearing the last two obstacles before he becomes the King of the West. Then he will show up again, drive away the black dragon, and win the support of the entire West. Of course, because of you , he obviously can’t complete the last step of the plan, but I don’t think he will give up just yet.”

"Why?"

"Like I said, my dragon and I are just pawns working for him. Losing us is certainly not what he wants to see, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation. He still has allies, very powerful allies."

"who?"

"Have you ever heard of the Second Son Alliance? According to the tradition of the Bratis continent, no matter the territory, family property or title, it belongs to the eldest son. The second son can get very little. Many of them are not willing to do so. , however, compared to their elder brother, their strength was too weak, so some people thought why not concentrate all the strength of the big guys? This is the origin of the Second Son Alliance."
