When Roland returned to the Mustang Tavern from the cemetery, it was already evening.

Because the queen's captivity has passed and the curfew has been lifted, even though it is almost night now, there are still many vendors and pedestrians on the streets, and there seem to be more drunkards in the Wild Horse Tavern.

It's even more noisy.

Roland went up to the second floor under the gaze of a large group of people and entered the room.

Hou Serey had already returned to the room. He was bragging with a group of friends. When he saw Roland, he patted the chair beside him and said, "Sit down and have a drink first. I have something to tell you."

After drinking a glass of sweet wine, Roland's dry throat felt much more comfortable: "Okay, let's talk."

At this time, the voices of other gay friends chatting and talking subconsciously became much lower and they didn't want to disturb them.

Hou Serei's temperament became more and more gloomy. The sound of his speech was also the plain line. There was a faint coldness, which was already a bit like a poisonous snake: "According to the information collected by our Thieves Guild before, the reason why the queen was kidnapped was because the Magic Association had some demands on the royal family. They were using this method to tell the king that we could abduct the queen and threaten your safety. You'd better agree to the conditions we put forward."

Roland frowned: "The Magic Society is so arrogant?"

"It must be arrogant!" Hou Serei spread his hands and said, "70% of the personnel of the Magic Association are nobles. This is a feudal society. Although the royal family is the largest and strongest aristocratic family, the lords in various places are not much worse than it. And most importantly, the magic association's "grouping" joint effect is too strong. They may not be as good as the royal family in pure combat power. After all, they have no military power, but various complex relationships are like a big net, which has occupied the entire Holewen Kingdom. Even the royal family is very afraid. Now it is a bit too big."

"So, what is the Magic Society's appeal?"

Hou Serei shook his head: "I don't know, even our thief guild didn't find out, I only knew that it was the president and the king who talked with him personally."

Roland listened very seriously and subconsciously drank a sip of fruit wine.

"The queen was not abused. It is said that the Magic Association deliberately threw the queen's clothes to the river and made people discover it." Hou Serei thought for a while and said, "Why did the Bad family be used as sacrifices? Except for the two big bosses, no one knows the reason. Kaka's fate was destined from the beginning. After all, the queen was kidnapped while he was patrolling."

"In other words, I want to avenge Kaka, but I can't find the murderer now?" Roland said unhappily: "Do you have to go to the president, or the king asks them?"

Hou Serei smiled and said, "Not necessarily, we can ask another person involved."

Roland couldn't think of who it was.

"queen!"

Roland was a little surprised.

Three hours later, Hou Serei brought Roland to the west of the palace, a relatively remote manor.

The manor is surrounded by dense forest belts, and there is a path at the main entrance where only a carriage can be driven by. Hou Serei took Roland through the forest. The noise of the royal city seemed to be isolated from this forest belt.

The two came to the gate of the manor. Under the moonlight, they saw a white mansion bathing in the moonlight.

But the mansion in the manor was very quiet, and there was no voice coming from it. There was only a candle on the balcony on the second floor.

The candle was blown by the slight night wind, and it flickered and darker, as if it would be extinguished if it was not careful.

There was a guard at the entrance of the manor. Hou Selei went over and handed over to the guard a white strange scroll.

The guard smiled strangely and opened the door of the manor.

Then Hou Sere pointed inside and said, "Only one person can go in."

Roland nodded, and after he entered the manor, the guards immediately closed the door.

He was a little surprised, why meeting the queen would give people a sneaky feeling.

But he didn't think too much, and followed the blue stone path to the door of the mansion.

As soon as I looked up, I could see a beautiful woman sitting on the balcony on the second floor. She was wearing a thin silk dress, and under the moonlight, some special parts were looming.

Roland frowned, feeling something was wrong.

Then an elderly butler came out of the door, bent down slightly, and said, "Dear Master, please follow me."

Even if he came, he didn't think so much. Roland took a breath, followed the old butler to the second floor, and then came to the entrance of the balcony.

The old butler bowed and left silently.

Roland walked into the balcony and saw a beauty with long brown hair sitting on a chair.

Her clothes are cool, and silk is a fabric with high visibility. The more high-quality silk, the higher the visibility.

The silk clothes worn by this beauty should be the most advanced type, and are generally used as etiquette coats.

For a moment, Roland felt that there was no place for her eyes to put, and finally she could only look at the woman's face, and then sat down opposite her.

"Is it His Highness?"

The beauty kept looking at the outside face and turned back. She looked at Roland up and down, a little surprised: "Is she a young and promising magician? I thought she was a fat old guy. From this point of view, I don't think I'm too much of a loss."

Roland seemed to understand something.

"I want to know your name before I start." The queen's expression seemed entangled.

There is a kind of helplessness and a kind of accepting one's fate.

Roland shook his head slightly: "I'm here to ask you something."

"Well? Ask me about it, because of this, I used up a valuable atonement book?"

It turns out that what Hou Serey is guarding is the "Atonement Book"? It's very valuable?

The queen kept looking at Roland's expression. Seeing his puzzled look, she became curious: "Don't you know what's going on before you come?"

"I don't know, I really just want to ask you some questions."

"If you ask, if you chat, we will be more familiar with each other. If you do things later, it may make my resistance less strong."

The wind suddenly became stronger and the candles blew out.

The queen under the moonlight reflected a bright luster on her smooth face, and there was a kind of sadness on her face, which looked very charming.

Roland took a deep breath and felt a little incredible: "You are the queen, how could you be so depressed?"

"Queen?" She chuckled, her voice crisp, mixed with a kind of resentment: "After tonight, I will no longer be the queen. How can a woman whose reputation is damaged and who will have to sleep with other men be qualified to be the queen again?"

Roland became increasingly puzzled.

"It seems you don't know anything." The queen looked at Roland for a while and asked, "Who gave you the Atonement Book?"

"My good friend."

"Then he is really willing to do so."
