Chapter 116: Stairs that cannot be walked on

"So you just brought all the evidence back?!"

Ivy looked at Driver who had been sneaking back all the way and was speechless for a long time - could it still be like this? !

"You move without a trace. You won't leave footprints or other traces when you walk by." Ron took the bottle of powder. "I knew you could complete the task, but I didn't expect you to do it so well."

"Well done, Drivedo!"

"This is nothing!" The goblin laughed proudly and ran to Ivy to show off, "Did you see? I'm much more useful than you!"

"But that being said... I still have a question." Ron looked at the flask in Dryford's hand again. "What's going on with the dead mice in this? I don't remember this step in the experiment." Coming."

"This is my secret agent. It was sacrificed." Drayford's eyes showed a hint of melancholy. "I can't let it be in vain. If it stays there, it will be discovered."

It's quite thoughtful, but the reason isn't quite right.

"Mr. Hendricks, this is the evidence you want," Ron handed the recording gem to the spice merchant. "I hope this can give you the upper hand."

"Of course! They have no chance of winning!" Hendricks took it with satisfaction, "But the more evidence, the better, right? Can you also give me the powder?"

"Well..." Ron smiled, "You are right, but the more witnesses the better, right?"

"There is a Mr. Faber who is also somewhat dissatisfied with their family. If you can have the testimony and evidence of another witness, can you be more confident in winning?"

"Faber, you mean old Faber?" Hendricks was stunned for a moment, then began to think deeply, "Yes, yes..."

"Old Faber has always been known for his neutrality and impartiality, and he never takes the initiative to express opinions. If he is willing to stand on my side, it will indeed be a big help - but how do you persuade him?"

"Actually, please forgive me for eating two fish." Ron smiled and bowed slightly, "I had already received his commission before I came to you."

"He seems to be more worried about his son's happiness."

"So that's it," Hendricks suddenly realized, "I have met the playboy in their family and visited Connie before. In this case, everything makes sense."

"Well, say hello to old Faber for me then."

Hendricks put away the recording gem with satisfaction: "Then let's talk about your story - what is it that is worth running all the way from the land of delusion to the Rose City?"

"Actually, it's not that big of a deal. I just got into trouble with Carolina City State and killed their entire death squad."

"In order to avoid long nights and long dreams, we decided to take the initiative. But I heard that they are also a member of the Western City-State Alliance. We hope that Rose City, as the leader, can remain neutral in this conflict."

Ron roughly told the story of the whole thing, but omitted the legacy of the Hyland Empire, and only emphasized that Carolina was trying to become the second Hyland Empire and colluding with the remnants of the Hyland Empire who were trying to revive.

"This is a big deal..." After hearing this, Hendricks sank into the armchair and kept turning the gold ring on his finger with his thumb. "Although I have some say, this kind of thing is definitely not the right thing to do." It can be done easily.”

"Many members of the Rose Council have some interest in Carolina. If you want to persuade them, it will definitely take more than just words."

"Are you going to assassinate them?" Drayford, who had just accomplished a great service, was jumping up and down, shouting that he was going to murder the congressmen, "I will do it very cleanly!"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that!" Hendricks waved his hands quickly, "I just said that I can't speak to these people with just my mouth."

“After all, I ‘can’ control only a tenth of the vote at best, right?”

"Then what do we need to do?" Ron knew that this was to allow his side to further demonstrate its strength. "If you want to hear our plan to deal with Carolina, then I'm sorry."

Goblins have a very bad reputation in the world. If they really shake things up, Rose City may not be determined to side with Carolina. So Ron and the others can only say that they relied on the power of some adventurers.

The most powerful goblins want to hide instead - as long as there is no evidence, it is not their instructions, but it is completely Carolina's anger and resentment that even the goblins can't stand.

"I can't say the specific content now," Hendricks thought for a while, "Let's just wait for a while in Rose City. I'll have people consult informally at the regular meeting in a few days. This question. Waiting for my news.”

"Hendrix will never let down the people who help him. You can trust me on this."

Since they couldn't get the confirmation for the time being, Ron and the others couldn't stay any longer. However, it was getting late now, and returning to Night Breeze would inevitably draw attention. Therefore, under the arrangement of Hendricks, Ron and the others stayed in his mansion for one night.

"Come with me," Constance calmly led the way. Although her eyes at Ivy were still a little angry at times, she no longer had as much resentment as when they first met. "The rooms here are all empty. It will be cleaned every day, so you can stay here with peace of mind. ”

"But don't touch the stairs over there." The half-elf with long black silky hair pointed to the end of the corridor. "That staircase was set up to maintain symmetry. It leads to my father's study. He hates people walking here. side."

"Even you?" Ivy glanced at her.

"Stop asking around and just listen to me." Constance rolled her eyes at her.

This reminder that there is no silver here is effective for Ron, Victoria, Sylvia and even Ivy. If you don't touch it, don't touch it. There is nothing to be curious about. But Sera and Drayford, are they two fuel-efficient lamps?

The Hendricks family had only been sleeping for four or five hours when a fat white rat slipped out of Dreyfus' room.

"What did you see?"

Sera was also in his room, lying on the bed, asking nervously.

"Don't worry, Dabai is going upstairs," Drayford replied softly, reporting what he saw in his eyes, "The door is unlocked, there is a small crack."

"It looks like it's a study room..."

Drayford controlled Baymax to explore around Hendrix's study. Although the room was a bit too big for a white mouse, he still found something wrong before dawn.

"There is a mechanism on the bookshelf, and the book is welded to the shelf - do you want to touch it and try it?"
