Chapter 409 (1/2)
”You've coht man,” Hood smiled and said in a raspy voice that h I live in the outer city, I happened to be near the palace on the day of the incident, and as soon as I heard the crash, I ran to the palace gate You have no idea how terrifying the crash was, because it sounded like lightning hitting the earth All the surrounding hether paper or glass, were shattered by an invisible force, and some people were even scared to death by the sudden sound ”
Every Rat clai, but each person's story was different from the other ”Okay, no need to ras How did it happen?” Otto Luoxi interrupted and asked ”Was this incident really related to the Fourth Prince Roland Wiht hand ”I can answer that, but ”
”You need the thing ht?” Otto opened his wallet ”How s on earth” was nothing old royal Only uncultured people like Rats would use such an obvious code word or phrase to appear ers
Otto took out two gold royals and placed them in Hood's hand ”This is not a small fee, so I hope your information lives up to it”
”Of course The reputation of Skeleton Fingers rests upon this” The Rat sold royals
”A Rat's reputation is as ridiculous as a ruler'syour first question” After his payment, Hood's posture was much more relaxed He sipped his ale, leaned back in his chair, and pointed towards the ceiling ”Thunder comes from the sky”
”What do you mean?” Otto frowned
”Didn't you want to knohat caused the crash?” the Rat whispered ”All thunder comes from the sky, and this was no exception I saith my own eyes Before the crash, a white rock floated into the palace, and then the incident happened”
”Nonsense! You e rock fell from the sky and s I said is true, or else Skeleton Fingers wouldn't assign ht now” Hood shrugged ”But you won't get your fee back”
” Keep going” Otto tried to repress his annoyance
”The rock entered the palace only seconds after it appeared, but I could clearly tell that it wasn't that big or fast and didn't like so that could destroy the Hall of Sky Dome, which is why I said it 'floated' Also, when the crash and s flash of fire that definitely wasn't caused by the collision,” Hood said, shness Timothy's search afterwards proved this very point—he closed off and cleared the Inner Cityany suspects, and the palace is heavily guarded, so where else could the attack be from if not the sky?”
He took another sip of ale ”As for the fire and smoke, they resemble the phenomenon caused when an alchemy solution called snoder burns, which is why I'm certain that this was an attack By the way, I also have some information about snoder, but you'd have to pay only a little more ”
