Platinum Throne

It was another night, Norma was sitting on the bed, her eyes slowly changed from golden to scarlet, the candlelight was burning, and the shadow behind Norma reflected became huge and distorted, as if there was some large and vicious monster hidden inside. The ferocious beast is anxiously and joyfully trying to break free from the thin layer of skin and flesh outside.

After a while, the scarlet eyes gradually dispersed, and finally returned to the silent golden color.

"I can't enter..." Norma whispered, she narrowed her eyes, and after a while, she looked into the distance and said in a deep voice, "Is it a demigod..."

Casey in the distance narrowed her eyes, she seemed to feel something, and then looked at where Caroline was.Under the invisible gaze, all the barriers became transparent.Caroline lay on the bed with her eyes closed and slept soundly. On her fingertips, a touch of silver reflected the moonlight and danced on her fingertips.Casey laughed, "It doesn't look like an idiot."

Norma stands up, she now has her own tent.Once it was determined that they were not enemies, and that they might even bring help, the members of the New Moon Mercenary Corps seemed to become hospitable. Of course, there were still occasional provocations and murmurs similar to Nok's.Norma is very familiar with this, because it was the same in the Platinum Tower back then, and it's nothing special.She took out the materials and looked through them by the candlelight.The above content has been completed for a little while, and it is densely packed with comments.

The annotations are in Norma's handwriting, as well as in Caroline's.She still remembered the way Caroline wailed and wrote down words with a quill pen seriously.

Very well-behaved, very motivated, very serious.

It's like the kid who used to be obedient and sweet in front of her.

But in the same way, she was exactly the same as before, bragging around where Norma couldn't see, playing with her little thoughts unscrupulously.This seemed to be a habitual, innate trait of that child.

Norma was silent. She turned one page after another, and felt a little lost when she landed on a blank space.Questions that were always interesting before seem to have lost their charm for a moment.Norma couldn't help thinking that Caroline was obviously an unsolvable puzzle compared to the answer that could be seen at a glance.She didn't know what this woman was thinking, and she couldn't see through the other person's mind. She was troubled by this.

The address book rang a weak voice, Norma opened it, and Murphy's appearance popped out. He looked around and showed a surprised expression: "Where are you? Where is that outsider Caroline? She didn't Is it entangled with you?"

Norma was silent, and finally gave Murphy a lazy look, with a bit of boredom in her voice: "Say something quickly."

Murphy sighed, and finally he found a chair and sat down, as if he really was in front of Norma.Norma knew that Murphy was always a hypocritical character, and he always insisted on inexplicable things, so she ignored it.On the other hand, Murphy raised his legs and put his hands together on his abdomen.

"The investigation in Anos City has already received the first batch of responses. The investigation is led by Chairman Walker. You know that he has always favored you, so you will not let those people go, and you can also ensure the reliability of the source—after all, you can Those who challenged the Speaker in the Platinum Tower have long since turned into ashes." Having said this, Murphy showed a gloating expression.He was very happy to see the enemy encounter bad luck, and he couldn't help showing an expression of interest, "Who are you who can't think about it, and you are so confident that you want to kill you?"

"...Platinum Star..." Norma said softly.

"What?" Murphy showed a little doubt.

"Does the Platinum Star change color?" Norma asked.

Murphy immediately sneered: "How could it change color? After all, they just want to kill you, not bring down the Platinum Tower."

"That's not right..." Norma supported her forehead, the hair on her forehead was rarely tied up neatly, it was loose and careless.Following Norma's movements, the strands of hair fell down and fell on the pale, bloodless cheeks, shaking slightly, "The loyalty of human beings is really hard to fathom."

"Everyone has their own standpoint...and this is not something that needs to be studied." Murphy pouted indifferently, "I have wanted to say for a long time that the Platinum Star is just a standpoint, and it cannot serve as a The Platinum Tower brings peace, harmony and friendship. We don’t need so many dissidents, they will only intensify the contradictions in the Platinum Tower and bring disaster to the Platinum Tower.”

Norma closed her eyes: "Yes, a kind of rule. And the rule is that if you set up a rule, you will be caught in the loophole of the rule."

Murphy shrugged. He didn't know what Norma was worried about, so he brought back the topic happily: "I heard that the speaker found something. But soon, I didn't even hear any news. Do you think there will be any news?" who is it?"

Norma thought for a while, then shook her head again: "I don't know."

"You're always so boring." Murphy waved his hand, "Guess what?"

"Then it depends on who can benefit." Norma replied.

Murphy touched his chin: "Is it the pragmatists? Hey, isn't there the biggest pragmatist beside you? She..."

"She's not here." This was the first time Norma interrupted Murphy tonight.She looked at the information around her and said silently, "She..." She has the support of Bella Nelson, so she is a winner in her own right, and of course she cannot be the murderer who assassinated Norma.Thinking of this possibility, Norma actually felt a strange joy in her heart.Norma thought for a while, and finally said: "Murphy, before noon tomorrow, please send me the migration route of the orcs in the last century."

"What, what?" Murphy showed a surprised expression, "What do you want that for?"

"Check." Norma replied, she looked at Murphy firmly, "Don't pay attention to such trivial matters as who will kill me. As long as they have the ability, come and kill me. But I will explain to you, please complete it on time .”

"No, are you really not interested? I mean... I heard that the tower recently..." Murphy wanted to say something more, but Norma had already closed the address book.

Norma threw herself on the bed, her arms pressed against her eyes, and after a while, she turned her head slowly and glanced at the documents piled up on the table.She stared at them quietly for a while, then grabbed the quilt and hung her head.A muffled voice came from under the quilt.

"Who needs loyalty to me... Really, too arrogant..."

The night passed quickly, and Lida almost greeted the day with a pale and haggard appearance.When she arrived at the main meeting place, Lida's shoulders drooped, and she walked forward with great difficulty, and then she saw Housman who was also frowning.The moment Housman saw Lida, the earthy color on his face brightened for a moment, and he greeted Lida excitedly.

Lida let out a chuckle: "Why, the thought of seeing a beauty makes everyone happy?"

Housman: "??? No... I'm not..."

After Lida finished talking about Hausman, she immediately felt a lot more energetic, and finally had the motivation to open the tent door.And the rigorous mage inside is already waiting for them.At the same time, there are a few little brats sitting upright.

"NUOKA..." Norma asked, "is it pronounced like this?"

"Big, probably... We don't remember very well..." A mercenary scratched his head.

Norma showed a disappointed expression: "It is said that you have killed several orcs, but in the end you used your muscle strength instead of your mind?"

The mercenary's face turned red immediately, he jumped up with his sleeves rolled up, and the people around rushed up and hugged him: "Don't be impulsive! She's just a weak mage!!!"

The next moment, a light flashed under the feet of the "weak" mage, and the chair was immediately covered with vines, tightly entwining a few burly boys on it.They looked at Norma with ashen faces, but Norma was indifferent to this: "Now, activate your brain capacity, and recall the pronunciation of the orcs again."

As she said that, Norma paused for a moment, and asked a little more: "Yes?"

The boys nodded desperately, none of them dared to say no.And Norma turned her head, and turned to Lida and Housman who were already stunned: "You are here."

Lida and Housman nodded blankly. After Norma turned her head again, Lida quietly lowered her voice and said to Housman: "I seem to have returned to my childhood—I mean when I was facing my mentor."

Housman dared not speak because he felt the same way.

After the boys left with ashen faces, Norma turned her head and looked at the two leaders of the New Moon Mercenary Group: "According to the members of your mercenary group, the accent of the orcs has changed a lot in the past month. The change, from the common spoken language of the plain orcs to the idiomatic language of the ice-field orcs...so I speculate that during this month, something happened that made the ice-field orcs replace the plain orcs."

Lida and Housman were silent for a while, and Housman asked his own question firmly under the gesture of Lida's eyes: "How do you know..."

"The language is different." Norma frowned. She looked at Hausman, and after a long time, she frowned, rubbed her forehead, and explained heavily, "Orcs are divided into plain orcs and ice-field orcs. Ice-field orcs once Establishing a kingdom will also be more favored by the beast gods. Their pronunciation has many modifiers that praise the gods... This is the basis of linguistics." After finishing speaking, Norma emphasized her tone, "the foundation of the foundation."

"I'm sorry..." Housman apologized inexplicably like that, and he was still a little dazed after the pour.who is he?where is he?What is he doing?

Norma nodded: "I will give you a few books, remember to read more."

Housman's face turned pale.Fortunately, Norma didn't get too entangled, and she put her fingers together: "Then, let's think about what attracted the ice orcs... and of course that demigod."

The few people who felt their IQs being crushed silently shook their heads stiffly.
