Adrian thought that since there were so many of them, it should be impossible that they still were putting on an act.
He had been watching from town when Old Bane arrived at Stronghold 61 with the troops. As he listened to their conversation from next door, he could roughly guess that Old Bane had just returned from Fortress 178 and even hauled a lot of goods with him from there. Those goods couldn’t be faked. If they had to cover up a lie by using that amount of goods, the cost of this lie would be absurdly high.
At this moment, the Great Hoodwinker asked Milo, “I heard you went into the stronghold to save someone? Do you know how the creeper vine died? Can you reveal anything about it?”
Milo calmly said, “I don’t know either. Just after I went in, a vine coiled around Olivia’s head. She fell unconscious after that, and I had to quickly take her with me to go into hiding.”
When Milo said he did not know what had happened in the stronghold, the Great Hoodwinker started cursing on the inside.
