Chapter 78 The past of Safi

Some words are meaningless if you keep them hidden, but if you want to speak out, Safi will inevitably worry that her parents will be affected by her.

"Your Highness, would you like to swear?" She looked at Fred. Although she was a little disrespectful, she had to force Fred to give in for the sake of her parents. "Wait for what I said, Your Highness is willing to help me keep a secret."

She still didn't want to believe him, Fred smiled wryly, but he also knew that if her knot was so easy to solve, the matter would not have dragged on to this point, so he simply swore to the gods, what he heard today I will not tell the third person what I have learned.

Seeing him being so forthright, Safi breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time felt guilty. Fred backed down to her step by step, and she was naturally touched.

The oath said that Fred could not tell other people about this incident. Even if he had a grudge because of this incident, he still couldn't deal with the prime minister.

Safi took a deep breath and said slowly: "His Majesty's scepter is fake, right?"

Although it was a question sentence, Safi's tone was extremely firm, as if he had seen the king's scepter with his own eyes.

The king's scepter is something handed down from the first generation of kings. The black wooden staff body is polished shiny, and the top is polished with a complete diamond to carve a half-length unicorn. On every important occasion, the king will take it out This scepter is displayed in front of the public, so the significance and value of this scepter is far greater than its actual value.

But this scepter was stolen ten years ago, but the royal family hid it very well, even the head of the academy didn't know about it, but Safi was able to tell it straight away.

"Could it be you who stole it?" Fred instinctively thought of this possibility, but then shook his head in denial, "No, it couldn't be you."

Safi has already arrived at the palace, as long as she makes a little noise or is deliberately caught by the guards, she can ask the royal family for help, but Safi doesn't, so it can be seen that it is not her.

The whole thing is a long story, and Safi started from the beginning: "I ran away to become a monk and was kidnapped into the guild. I didn't live very well. Fortunately, I was talented and didn't suffer too much. ..." Safi paused, "Grandpa Rhodes taught me a lot, such as how to survive in the guild, and how to complete tasks faster."

The name Rhodes was not uncommon, but Fred knew only one of them.

"The one we met?" Fred asked.

Safi nodded. When they met that day, she didn't dare to recognize each other. Thinking of this, she felt even more depressed.

Fred thought, although Safi said lightly, "I didn't suffer too much", but she was originally a wealthy noble girl, and she was living in that kind of place. Just because she didn't adapt, she had already suffered a lot. Well, what she said was so plain, it was just that she didn’t want to be investigated, and Fred didn’t want to touch her inner pain, so he followed her words and continued to ask: “He also came from the Abandoned Avenue, why did he help you. "

Judging from the situation of the negotiations that day, although Rhodes is not a bad person, he is not a good person. At least in the abandoned avenue, kindness is the most useless thing.

"He once had a daughter who was discovered while stealing, fell from upstairs while hiding, and was only 16 years old when she died."

After seeing Safi, the pain of losing her daughter felt a little empathetic to her. She couldn't bear to suffer so much at a young age, so she took care of her a little bit more. This kind of care allowed Safi to escape some things successfully. But it also became Rhodes' reminder.

On the Abandoned Avenue, the tenderness towards others can only be turned into a rope around the neck in the end, and then it is pulled tighter and tighter until it dies.

Safi would not mention this person for no reason, Fred guessed: "He stole the scepter?"

"Yes," Safi nodded, "Even in the guild, Grandpa Rhodes is outstanding. Because of his daughter's death, he gradually wants to quit the guild. The guild is unwilling. For the guild, it cannot be used by them." People can only be removed, so I gave Grandpa Rhodes a task, which is to steal the king's scepter, Grandpa Rhodes is naturally unwilling, but the guild uses me as a threat, so he has no choice."

The guild is full of vicious people. Since they threatened Safi's life, they will do what they say. The guild left Rhodes with only two options. In the process of stealing the scepter, he was discovered by the guards of the palace, and he was sentenced to death after being caught. Safi could survive, and if he stole the scepter, both he and Safi could survive.

But it is almost impossible to steal the scepter from the palace. If the palace was so easy to sneak into, the human race would be finished. With thoughtful precautions, the guild didn't leave Rhodes with any way out from the very beginning.

But what they didn't expect was that Safi had a general understanding of the terrain of the palace, and even knew some trails that others didn't know. In order to save Rhodes, Safi told everything he knew. Just told Rhodes.

Rhodes came back alive after all, only lost a leg, but compared to losing his life, this result is much better.

After identification, the unicorn above is made of real diamonds, which means that this is the real king's scepter. In addition, Rhodes lost a leg and is no longer a threat to the guild, so the guild is very happy this time. He readily let people go.

And Safi's identity was also exposed by herself. Those who are so familiar with the royal family are naturally high-ranking nobles. Rhodes felt that she could not be allowed to stay here anymore, and Safie could be used to threaten Rhodes once. , can threaten the second time, no one knows when the guild will regret what they have done, so Rhodes quickly thought of a way and sent Safi out, and she returned home.

Although the king's scepter was not stolen by Safi, if she hadn't provided Rhodes with information about the palace, Rhodes would not have been able to steal the scepter, so she could be considered one of the culprits.

Although Safi has tried to speak plainly, the danger is still coming. A girl who is only ten years old is facing life and death so close, and she has tried her best to save the people who are good to her. No wonder she is so guarded. How many people can a person who has been through that kind of situation have trust in? The kind things he did to Safi before were nothing more than trivial things, so why should he Ask Safi to trust him wholeheartedly?

Safi has kept this secret in her heart for ten years. She dare not mention it to anyone. Now that she tells it, she feels inexplicably relaxed. She smiled: "Your Highness, please think about it again, for my sake. Is it worth it for such a person to put in so much effort?"
