Chapter 115 The Truth and Falseness of the List

"Actually, I could have escaped unscathed this time, but I discovered this."

Nancy pulled out something like a roll of paper from the hidden pocket of her clothes and put it on the table. "It was also because of it that I triggered the trap and was hunted down. I think this should be something very important to the other party."

Sure enough, because of this, Ulysses lowered his eyes. Although he did not want Nancy to take risks, he has always been very clear about Nancy's abilities. The reason why she is still a trainee in the Knights is because she has not graduated yet.

, but in terms of strength, even Nannuo is just a little more experienced than her.

So Nancy could leave without anyone noticing, but it would be wrong to have so many people chasing her, and it shouldn't be the case.

But if there is such a reason, it can be explained. Nancy took something that the other party absolutely did not want to expose, but was discovered by the other party.

Ulysses narrowed his eyes and immediately guessed: "You did it on purpose."

"Of course," Nancy confessed, "I've been paying attention to that room for a long time. Since I'm leaving, of course I have to go there and take a look."

Let alone Ulysses, Safi couldn't help but frown: "You are too reckless. You are really impulsive. Wouldn't you be more cautious in your actions?"

But Nancy vowed and had great confidence in herself: "No, I would have stepped in advance and calculated the time. If it hadn't been for an accident in the end, I would not have been discovered at all."

Nancy is indeed a person who takes action based on her feelings, but that doesn't mean she has no brains, otherwise Nanno would not be able to trust her to go on a mission alone.

"If you were really sure, the last accident wouldn't have happened." Safi said angrily, but at least she came back intact without any serious injuries, so there was no need to continue to criticize her harshly.

she.

Fred tried to smooth things over: "Okay, let's take a look at what important things Nancy risked her life to bring back."

After reaching out and touching it, I found that it was not the texture of paper, but more like the skin of some kind of animal.

"Parchment?" Fred muttered, "It's actually parchment."

Paper was not invented in this world at the beginning. In the era when there was no paper, parchment was used for writing, but this method is no longer seen.

Compared with paper, parchment rolls have obvious advantages - they are not easy to damage. Although magic added to paper is stronger than parchment, for civilians without magic, parchment can only be used to record important things.

Fred unfolded the paper, glanced at it, frowned, and then handed the parchment to Safi.

He didn't speak, but his expression was visibly solemn.

"Transaction list?" Safi read out one word at a time, and after reading ten lines at a glance, the same solemn look on Fred's face appeared.

Next came Ulysses, Nancy, and Philisa, but Philisa looked at the list and saw that they were all names she didn't recognize... Oh, except Beard.

The so-called trading list should be the list of people who want to please people who fake races at the racecourse. After a rough count, there are quite a lot of people, at least forty or fifty.

"Why is everyone silent?" Felissa asked cautiously, "Is there something wrong with the list?"

"The list is fake." Ulysses exhaled and said firmly.

Nancy doesn't believe that the important thing she worked so hard to find is actually a fake?

"Impossible, I personally heard someone tell the staff at the racecourse that this is a very important thing and must not be lost," she argued. She could accept any harsh words, but she could never accept doing anything to her.

Questioning ability, "If you want to say it's false, just show evidence. Beard's name is on it, do you want to say it's false?"

Compared with Nancy's emotional excitement, Ulysses' emotions were calm: "I don't want to argue with you about this."

The most annoying thing is to meet this kind of person when you are quarreling. It makes people feel like they are punching cotton wool without saying anything. More importantly, he looks like "I am right and I am too lazy to tell you more", which makes people even more confused.

gas.

Nancy's temperament is the most unwelcome. She was about to bang the table and argue with Ulysses, but when she heard Safi cough lightly in warning, she realized that this was the palace, not a place where one could argue loudly.

So she could only reluctantly hold back the breath and sit down angrily.

Felissa, who was sitting between the two of them, was under great pressure.

"What do you think, Your Highness?" Safi changed the topic and handed the initiative to Fred, "If this list is true, then it is indeed somewhat... shocking."

"Why?" Felissa asked instinctively.

Safi replied: "Because this list includes almost all the children of the earl family."

Felissa still seemed to understand, but she also vaguely realized that this was not good. Every family had a gambler. How could it be a good thing? But she didn't know what kind of consequences would happen.

Influence.

But no one cared about her doubts, or her doubts were not a problem at all in the eyes of others. Others had been exposed to these things since childhood, and even Nancy was very aware of the seriousness of the problem.

The most important question now is whether this list is real or fake.

"Can what I heard with my own ears be false?" Nancy insisted that it was true. "No one on the list can be spared."

Of course Ulysses strongly objected: "I don't believe that Abandoned Avenue has the ability to infiltrate so many counts, and I don't believe that so many people would take such a big risk for a little benefit."

If the water is clear, there will be no fish. They don't care about the nobles going to the racecourse to have fun, or they just turn a blind eye and give them a channel for entertainment. But colluding with the racecourse is another matter. Now

The racecourse has basically been confirmed to be related to the abandoned road, which is equivalent to indirect collusion with the abandoned road.

"Whether it's true or not, now is not the time to take action," Fred said. He handed the parchment to Ulysses, "keep it away first and don't let anyone else know about the existence of this list."

Nancy has always had a quick temper, so she asked after hearing this: "When is the time?"

Fred smiled confidently: "If you were a fish hiding behind a rock, would you wait for the water to be clear or murky to come out?"

It is said that fishing in troubled water means fishing in troubled water. That is because the fish will come out when the water is mixed. So their first step now is to muddy the water. Otherwise, how will the fish be caught if they are hiding all the time?

As for how to muddy the water, this has always been Ulysses' specialty: "I know, I will release the news. Some people on this list have reported other people, let's see if they will bring any surprises.

"

Nancy: Although I don’t understand it, I feel it’s very powerful.
