...
Luo Ruier nodded and smiled: "I have some things...I want to ask you for help. But, let's talk about it first."
Lance nodded slightly and looked at Alice.
If Loriel was looking for him, he wouldn't care too much, after all, the relationship between the two was pretty good. When the Red Robe Brothers wanted to make trouble for him before, the red-haired girl stood up for him. Lance had a good impression of her.
As for Alice, Lance was a little strange.
The relationship between the two is very complicated. Whether it is good or not, it is not that bad. At least after returning to Scarlet Castle, Alice did not make the news that Lance was a hooded man, but instead looked as if he kept it secret. This attitude made Lance really unpredictable.
Alice smiled slightly and said to Loriel, "Thank you."
Then she winked at Lance, and the two of them took a few steps to the other side, and were separated from Rorrell for a distance.
Alice did not speak directly, but took out a small gem from her arms and spread it in her palms. Then she said, "This is a silence gem. The conversation between us will not be heard by others."
Lance looked at her playfully and couldn't help but say, "Alice, I thought you would pretend not to know me after returning to the castle."
Alice said frankly: "Of course I want to do this. Although I am not interested in revealing your identity, I don't want to be with a cold-blooded animal like you."
Lance coughed and then asked back, "I am a cold-blooded animal, so what is the Red Robe Brotherhood? That guy named Sink seems to have a good relationship with you."
Alice snorted coldly: "The Red Boat Brothers will not kill their own people."
"It seems you are always worried about that." Lance spreads his hands helplessly: "I can only say that we have different definitions of [our own]. Perhaps in your eyes, I am more hateful than those of the Red Robe Brotherhood, but you have to admit that it is my only choice. If I don't take action, our hot air balloon will be shot down by Sack."
"I'm here today, not arguing with you about this issue." Alice did not respond to Lance positively, but instead changed the topic: "I need your help."
Lance smiled: "Look, I hate cold-blooded animals, but I don't reject cooperation with cold-blooded animals. It's a fascinating and contradictory personality. No wonder Sack and that Sink like you so much."
Lance's words did not annoy Alice. She still had a tense face and said, "Believe me, if there is another candidate, I will not come to you."
Lance raised an eyebrow and signaled her to continue.
"I need you to help me do something. After the matter is done, I will pay you two hundred magic stones." Alice said calmly: "I will pay you a quarter of your deposit first."
"What's the matter?" Lance was a little curious. Offering such a reward must be a considerable wealth for Alice.
"A month later, the Red Bou Brothers will have a secret operation. I am very interested in their goal." Alice hesitated for a moment and said: "Although Sink has promised me to join the team of that secret operation, all this is far from enough for me."
"Do you want to grab that action target from them?" Lance's mind was spinning quickly and immediately understood Alice's intention.
"Almost. But I will take a gentle approach, and I won't let them know who snatched their bags-I have made a careful plan for this." Before Alice could finish her words, Lance understood:
"It's a pity that your plan cannot be completed by one person, so you need a close and capable ally. That person, it seems to be me at the moment?"
Alice nodded: "It's almost like this. If you agree, I can give you the deposit now."
"Don't worry. I need to know what's the goal that makes you excited." Lance asked.
Alice was silent. She bit her lip and said, "This doesn't matter... You just need to do it according to my plan."
Lance shook his head: "This is not very appropriate. Maybe you are worried that I will be interested in your mission goals?"
"This is of course one of the reasons." Alice looked at Lance and suddenly smiled, "But I'm not worried about this. The reason I chose you is because I know your secret - if you don't follow my plan and do something more extraordinary - you know the consequences."
"Are you threatening me?" A sharp look flashed in Lance's eyes.
Alice took a step back and chuckled, "No, no...I don't mean to threaten you. Although our relationship is not very good, I am not interested in exposing you. Otherwise, you would have been listed on the list of must-haves by countless higher apprentices, right? I just hope that this matter can increase our trust in our sincere cooperation with each other."
"As long as you help me, I will promise to never ban your identity. What about it? And after this time, I will never use your secret to let you do anything for me." Alice said confidently: "This thing is very important to me, Lance, help me."
Lance looked at Alice coldly. The woman in front of him had touched his bottom line. If Alice remained silent forever, he could think she did not exist. But today she actually used this matter to threaten herself...
This is not a wise choice, Alice. He said silently in his heart.
"I still have to know what the goal is to make you so interested." After a while, Lance slowly spoke: "If I can't get more information, I won't help you. Even if you disclose my identity, so what? At most I will stay in the castle all my life."
Alice bit her lip and shook her head: "No, I can't tell you."
"So, I'm sorry, we may not be able to cooperate." Lance said coldly and turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait!" Alice begged: "Lance, I really need your help, no one else can do this task."
"Okay, I'll tell you." She took a deep breath, leaned into Lance's ear and whispered:
"That's a dragon."
...
Ten minutes later, Lance left Alice and quickly walked towards the red-haired girl waiting aside.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to let you wait for so long." Lance looked at Loriel apologetically.
Loriel didn't look impatient, she smiled: "Nothing. Mr. Lance, your girlfriend is so beautiful."
Lance laughed: "Just call me Lance. Alice is indeed amazing, but she is not my girlfriend."
A strange look flashed in Luo Riel's eyes, but she did not ask too much, but said generously: "Let's go, I'll treat you to a drink."
"Shouldn't I beg you?" Lance said in surprise.
The girl naturally stroked the short hair covering her ears, stuck out her tongue and said, "I heard that your Bileg super force field score is A+. Recently, I have been learning Bileg's force field theory. I can't figure out many things. I have many questions to ask you."
Chapter completed!
