In the face of the unavoidable question, Thales and Quick Rope looked at each other numbly with great sorrow.
'What should we do?'
This was the only thing they could see from each other's eyes.
But they had no answer.
"Hmm?"
Ricky urged, "Could it be that you need some 'motivation' like just now?"
When he remembered the feeling just now, Quick Rope immediately trembled.
'What should we do?'
In the face of everyone's doubtful gazes and Quick Rope's fearful gaze, Thales could only brace himself and say, "We …"
'What should we do?'
He poked Quick Rope's abdomen, hoping that he would have an idea.
Quick Rope trembled a few times before he awkwardly took over, "That …"
He only managed to say one word before he stomped on Thales' foot and urgently asked for help.
Ricky was amused by their performance.
Thales glared at Quick Rope indignantly and said in a drawl, "Actually …"
He nudged Quick Rope with his thigh, indicating that he should hurry up and continue.
Quick Rope glared at him in disbelief, then braced himself and said, "It's like this …"
Ricky smiled.
He smiled very happily.
"Forget it …"
Ricky waved his hand. No one knew whether he shook his head in resignation or humor, but there was a glimmer in his eyes. "Why don't you tell us exactly what happened before you arrived here?
Especially … Dean's whereabouts? "
As soon as he said this, Thales and Quick Rope froze!
'Sh * t.'
"You seem to be here to do business with Tampa?" Ricky rubbed his fingers as he recalled something. "I think you're here to help him kill someone?"
The two princes looked at Tampa.
The tavern owner, Tampa, raised his eyebrows. In the face of their pleading gazes, he laughed dryly. "Um, I don't know either …"
Thales and Quick Rope froze again.
However, many people slowly turned their gazes to the sack at their feet.
'That …
'A human-shaped sack.'
Thales felt cold sweat break out on his forehead.
'What should I do?'
Soon, Ricky's suspicious gaze slowly turned.
He turned to the sack.
'Sh * t.'
At that moment, Thales' thoughts seemed to have frozen.
Ricky's gaze was fixed on the sack as he slowly said, "So, the person you want to kill …"
At that moment …
"You're right!"
Thales suddenly raised his voice, stood up resolutely, puffed out his chest, and raised his head!
Ricky, Stake, Lasalle, Klein, and Masked Man all frowned. They looked at the teenager who was behaving abnormally in puzzlement and suspicion.
Only Quick Rope, who was next to him, stared at Thales in a daze. 'Huh?
But in the next moment, Thales stomped hard on him under the table!
Dong.
Under the intense pain, Quick Rope's expression became stern.
In the next second, Quick Rope jumped up!
He straightened his body and said with a pale face as he trembled slightly, "It is indeed not a coincidence that we appeared here!"
Everyone was shocked by Quick Rope's sudden outburst, and they became even more puzzled.
Thales took a deep breath and kept imagining all the arrogant people in his mind. With a trembling voice that only he could detect, he said, "Tsk, we came with a mission …"
He looked straight into Ricky's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through his secrets. He kept repeating to himself, "Don't show weakness, don't show weakness, don't show weakness …"
Gap.
From just now to now.
He needed to find an opening.
He had to ensure his own safety and escape this certain death situation!
"Mission?"
Ricky savored the word and narrowed his eyes.
"Is that so?"
This time, without waiting for Thales to remind him, Quick Rope instinctively crossed his arms.
He sneered and stared at the people in the tavern with a sense of arrogance unique to nobles.
"Of course." The former Prince of Eckstedt gestured with his chin nonchalantly. "Why, Miss Marina, whose story is incredibly tragic, you can't possibly be so naive to think that we are really just two thieves who pick locks in the middle of the night, right?"
Marina widened her eyes, as if she could not imagine that the thief, who had just curled up into a ball, would behave like this now.
'Gap.'
Thales said to himself.
'Gap!'
"Lasalle Weider."
Thales cleared his throat and looked at the doubtful envoy.
Obviously, after six years and his disguise, be it Stake or Lasalle, they could no longer recognize the former Prince of Constellation.
This made Thales feel much more at ease.
He used the tone of a certain dead man in his imagination and said proudly, "You are King Chapman's man, but are you really sure that Dean took the initiative to contact you in the desert?
Just to capture the prince and bring him back to Black Sand Region? "
Lasalle frowned slightly, and his gaze on the two people froze slightly.
Quick Rope glanced at Thales from the corner of his eyes, and the latter understood the meaning in his gaze. 'Please don't cause trouble!'
Thales coughed softly.
"Dean's mission was never to search for Prince Thales."
"As far as I know, not long ago, Dean himself was not sure whether his target was Thales Jadestar."
Lasalle moved slightly.
This made Stake and Ricky unable to help but glance at the former baron.
"You are not with Dean at all," Thales said in a smug tone. "Tell me, did you intercept Dean's information? Or did you bribe his contact? "
Lasalle frowned fiercely.
His reaction caused Stake and Ricky to look at Lasalle in a different light.
But only Thales knew.
He was taking a gamble.
He was betting on whether the two pieces of information he heard from Chapman Lampard and Dean himself matched up.
'If it's not …'
Thales gulped.
Lasalle stared at Thales with a frown. His gaze was solemn, and there was deep doubt in it.
Thales felt his heart race.
Finally, after a few seconds, Lasalle snorted softly.
"Both of you." Lasalle asked coldly with a gloomy expression.
"Who exactly are you?"
'Very good.
I made the right bet! '
Thales did a somersault in his heart!
"Answer his question." Ricky seemed to have decided not to suspect his companion anymore. He pointed the spearhead at Thales and Quick Rope again and said coldly, "Who exactly are you?"
As he spoke, the mercenaries took a step forward, and their expressions were hostile.
The atmosphere around them was immediately filled with hostility.
Even Stake pressed his hands against his chest and glanced at them indifferently.
Quick Rope shuddered.
But Thales held him down.
"Haih." Thales spread his hands, looking helpless. "Maybe it's time, Quick Rope."
Quick Rope tried his best to hide the sudden surprise and bewilderment.
He gave a faint and indifferent response.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." Thales glanced around and sighed. "It seems that there is no other choice."
Quick Rope's eyebrows twitched. 'What?
What choice? '
But he suppressed his questions, shrugged, and threw the topic back to Thales in a very cooperative manner. "Then let's do it."
Under everyone's wary and suspicious gazes, Thales whistled.
Under the illumination of the light, he revealed a cold and malicious smile. "The stars shine, and the dim places are dark …"
When he said this, everyone in the tavern, including Quick Rope, was stunned!
But almost at the same time, the people who heard him had solemn expressions on their faces. Ricky gritted his teeth, Stake took half a step back, and Lasalle could not hide his surprise. But without exception, everyone pressed down on their weapons!
* Clang! * * Swoosh! *
Quite a number of people had even drawn their blades!
'Huh?
'That's not right …'
Thales shuddered and quickly nudged Quick Rope!
Quick Rope, who was almost scared stiff, had an idea. He continued the second half of Thales' sentence, "The … The dragon soars in the sky, and the shadows under its wings are endless!"
These words caused everyone to be startled once again!
Many of them stopped their movements of drawing their swords and charging forward.
Thales breathed a sigh of relief.
'That was close. Fortunately, I knew earlier …'
"You …" Ricky stared at the two in disbelief.
Thales, who had relaxed, raised his fist and coughed softly. He chuckled and said, "Yes, we are the Secret Intelligence Department …"
Everyone's eyes twitched again!
This time, it was Quick Rope's turn to hit Thales' stomach with his elbow!
* Bang. *
Thales shuddered. When he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, he was so frightened that he quickly changed the topic. "… My mortal enemy!"
He almost bit his tongue.
Quick Rope secretly exhaled and swore that he would never work together with this talkative person again.
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Almost everyone in front of them was sizing them up with gazes as if they were dead people.
Astonishment, amazement, and disbelief.
The lights in the tavern swayed continuously, and the atmosphere inside also changed continuously.
It was suffocating.
"My name is Secca. As you can see, we are from the Secret Room." Thales took a deep breath, crossed his arms beside Quick Rope, and said coldly, "My name is Secca."
Quick Rope snorted coldly, and with a hateful smile, he extended his hand and bowed to the people around him.
"I am Quick Rope.
My respected Madam Calshan asked me to greet all of you. "
Time seemed to have stopped for a moment.
At that moment, whether it was Ricky, Stake, or Lasalle, their expressions were as unpleasant as they could get.
A few seconds passed.
"Impossible."
Ricky took a deep breath, as if he was adjusting his fluctuating emotions, and said to Thales, "With your age, isn't it a little too early for you to be a secret agent?"
"Ha." Thales chuckled, and he seemed to have a card up his sleeve. "Too early?"
"You might not know this, but Madam Calshan has been taking on missions since she was eight years old, and she has been dealing with the kingdom's Secret Intelligence Department."
Ricky furrowed his eyebrows tightly. He never relaxed his gaze as he sized up Thales.
"Secret Room? Why are you here? "Stake asked quietly in a low voice.
Quick Rope sneered, as if he was mocking the other party's ignorance.
"Didn't anyone tell you, my friends from Shadow Shield?"
Thales, oh, no, the new spy of the Secret Room, the teenager Seca waved his hand and smiled at the livid Lasalle. "Dean is not King Chapman's spy or informant. He is a member of the Secret Room. Your information was' stolen 'from him.
"What this Mister Lasalle said is not the whole truth."
Lasalle took a deep breath. His cheeks twitched, and he looked unhappy.
This made Thales feel even more at ease.
'After a while.'
Thales patted himself in his heart.
He made the right bet.
"As for King Chapman placing spies in the Secret Room … Don't worry, this is a small misunderstanding between King Chapman and Madam Calshan within Eckstedt," Quick Rope tactfully added. He did not forget to make a threatening gesture at Lasalle.
"Madam will soon find His Majesty to solve this."
Ricky frowned. His gaze when he looked at Lasalle was no longer the same as before. Even Stake frowned.
"You did not answer my question," Stake said in a dark tone.
The atmosphere became a little oppressive.
Thales let out a puff of air.
"We've lost contact with Dean for a while." He patted the table, completely unconcerned. "So we had to come and see for ourselves."
Quick Rope arched his shoulders and curled up one side of his lips.
"But since we've already heard the news of your conspiracy …"
At that moment, everyone in the tavern looked at them nervously.
Quick Rope raised his finger and placed it in front of his lips. He smiled slyly and said, "I wonder if the Secret Room under the Red Witch will have the honor of joining your operation?
Or, can you try to silence us? "
Thales added with a smile, "After all, we might be the only two people left from the Secret Room who were placed in this place!"
At this moment, Ricky and the others' expressions became even more unpleasant than before.
"Secret Room." Stake's breathing slowly quickened. He turned to Lasalle and cursed in a low voice, "You should have told me from the beginning!"
Lasalle did not say anything. He only gritted his teeth.
Thales and Quick Rope stood side by side. Their smiles remained the same.
No one knew that both of their backs were drenched in cold sweat.
But at this moment …
* Thud. *
A soft sound traveled into Thales' ears.
Thales froze for a moment.
Everyone was taken aback as well.
* Thud! *
Another sound rang out, and it was even louder than before!
But in Thales' heart, it was like a bolt from the blue!
There was no other reason.
Because of this sound …
It came from his and Quick Rope's feet.
As they followed the sound, Thales and Quick Rope lowered their heads stiffly, like frozen ice sculptures. Then, they shuddered at the same time!
'No … It can't be, right?'
This came from Thales, who was stunned.
* Thud. *
Another sound rang out.
But the source of the sound was already very clear.
It was that human-shaped sack.
No.
More accurately speaking, it was a person.
A man.
A man who should have died was lying on the ground with his hand on his throat in pain.
Inch by inch, he crawled out of the sack that had been freed.
The man looked exhausted, and his gaze was unfocused.
But when he raised his head and saw Thales and Quick Rope, he punched the ground fiercely!
* Thud! *
With indignation and resentment, Big Dion, the bald mercenary who was resurrected from the dead, cursed fiercely, "F * ck!"
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
Be it Thales or Quick Rope, both of them stiffened on the spot.
At this moment, their expressions were extremely unpleasant …
