No one thought that Prince Kesley and his party would encounter an ambush on the way to the Magic Association, and it was when Freud led people out to meet them and met them halfway.

According to the description of the survivors, the attackers seemed to have suddenly drilled out of the ground, which caught them completely off guard. Before they could draw out their weapons, the knights on the periphery had been shot through their throats by the opponent's arrows.What's worse is that although the attackers are a group of warriors, they hold powerful magic scrolls in their hands. The instant magic and endless arrows make Freud and other magicians have to hide behind the knights. Under the shield of the regiment, use some elementary magic with short spells to fight back.

The survivors didn't see the final outcome. When he realized that the attackers were too powerful and he and his party might not be able to deal with them, Joey decisively separated a few knights and asked them to break out and return to the imperial capital for help.

"According to the escaped knights, the Grant knights also carried a lot of magic scrolls, and it was the cover of these magic scrolls that allowed them to escape from the opponent's encirclement." Angel said indifferently, "Unfortunately, when we received the news and rushed to the scene, it was too late. There were only a pile of corpses left on the ground, and the attackers, Prince Kesley and others had disappeared."

"Where's Joey?" Hill clenched his fists.

"Missing, the same as Prince Kesley." Angel sighed, "As far as the missing are concerned, the attackers went after Prince Kesley, Queen Hathaway, Mrs. Cheryl, and Duke Cynthia. , and several other nobles are gone, and the magicians from the Magic Association, including the great magician Floyd, and several magicians from the Lucifer family, have all died."

"From a certain point of view, this is good news." Hill said with downcast eyes. "At least the missing people still have hope of being alive."

"It's too bad, how are we going to explain to the Magic Association?" Angel murmured, "And Duke Grant, I really don't know how he will react after he finds out about this."

"Your Excellency the Duke is not a reckless person, father, and the prince and queen are also missing with Joey." Hill reassured, "At least, he should not pass his anger on to His Majesty."

Angel smiled wryly and shook his head, "Joy is the Duke's only child, my son, you don't understand how a father feels, when I heard about this, the first thing I thought of was if you were there In the missing list, what would I do, and then, I couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately you rejected my arrangement, otherwise..."

Angel did not continue, and Hill did not answer.At this moment, Hill was actually regretting it. If he had given Joey not only a magic scroll, but also a microphone, the rescue from the imperial capital might have been more timely...

"Father!" Thinking of rescue, Hill was startled, and hurriedly raised his head to ask Angel, "didn't Great Magician Floyd ask for help from the Magic Association when the accident happened?"

Angel was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head, "I don't know, the other party didn't survive, and we don't know what the magicians did."

"Most magicians now have the habit of carrying a communicator with them, and Great Magician Floyd is no exception." Hill said in a deep voice, "You also said that Prince Kesley and his party have persisted for quite a while. Time, that is to say, Magician Floyd should have enough time to get in touch with the Magic Association and ask them for help!"

"But the Magic Association did not send assistance, that's for sure." Angel also understood Hill's meaning, and his expression became serious, "Moreover, the attackers have a large number of magic scrolls in their hands. The source must also be inseparable from some people in the Magic Association."

"So, we don't need to give an explanation to the Magic Association. On the contrary, they should give us an explanation." Hill narrowed his eyes, "Father, is the body of the magician Floyd in our hands?"

"Yes." Angel nodded, "However, people from the Magic Association have also arrived and are currently negotiating with His Majesty in the palace. If they want to take the corpse away, we may not be able to stop them—I will go right away. Check their bodies to see if they have the communicator you mentioned, and send someone to ask His Majesty to delay the time."

"Please tell me the result, father, maybe I can help." Hill said word by word.

When Keech learned of Floyd's death, it was already noon the next day. He just opened his eyes in a daze, thinking about whether he would have breakfast or lunch, when the communicator on the table next to him shook violently. get moving.

Kiki thought it was Amir who was looking for him, and turned on the communicator without thinking, but Barosh's voice came from inside.

Barosh briefly stated what happened to Yasha, and then told him that the Shadow Council had already started investigating the matter, so that Kiki knew it well.

"What about me? What to do?" Keech asked.

"Just wait for our report." Barosh said lightly, and then turned off the communicator.

Keech was taken aback for a moment, but Barosh's businesslike attitude really made him a little uncomfortable, so he didn't bother to ask any more questions, and immediately adjusted the dial of the communicator to Amir's direction.

After the communicator was connected, before Kiki could speak, Amir asked directly, "Are you awake?"

"...Hmm." Kiki unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling embarrassed of being caught.

"Have you received a call from Barosh? She has been looking for you since the morning." Amir continued, "Put the communicator under the pillow when you sleep from now on, and don't throw it far away. You won't know if someone is looking for you."

"I have received it, but she just notified me and didn't let me do anything." Keech said depressingly.

"What can you do?" Amir asked back.

"I'm sure I can do more things than you guys." Kiki muttered, then remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Did Tina know about this too?"

"Well, I didn't hide it from her." Amir sighed.

"Is she...unhappy again?" Keech asked hesitantly.

"It looks good so far, not as serious as it was a while ago." Amir said lightly, "But like you, I wanted to go to Yasha to find out the truth, but I was persuaded."

"That is to say, you don't want me to go?" Keech couldn't help but pouted.

Amir didn't answer, but instead asked, "Are you in the bedroom?"

"Yeah." Kitty responded.

Amir stopped talking, and there was a sound of being shut down from the communicator.

Keech had no choice but to turn off the communicator, and turned his gaze to the dressing room next to the bedroom.

Soon, the door of the locker room was pushed open, and Amir came out from inside with ease.

"What's going on?" Keech asked, still sitting on the bed, resting his hands on his knees and propping his chin.

"Didn't Barosh tell you?" Amir walked over and sat down on the other end of the bed, facing Kiki and leaning against the head of the bed.

"She only said that someone is dead, and it has something to do with the Yalong royal family, but it seems to be affected." Keech shrugged.

"Killed the branch president of the Magic Association, a great magician, just because of 'infection'? Doesn't this statement sound strange to you?" Amir asked with a sneer.

"Well, isn't it normal?" Keech asked uncertainly.He still has some ignorance about the division of magicians. He just thinks that if he is an attacker, it is very common to kill a great magician who is in the way.

The corners of Amir's mouth twitched obviously, as if he had seen through Kiki's thoughts, but he didn't explain or refute, he just said lightly: "Come with me to Yasha, and then you will know whether it's normal or not."

"To Yasha?" Kiki sat up straight.

"Yeah." Amir nodded, "I always feel that something is wrong with this matter, it's better to go and have a look in person, and Tina also needs an explanation, if I don't go there, she will definitely go there by herself gone."

"When are we leaving?" Keech asked impatiently.

"You should eat your lunch first." Amir stood up, "Don't go directly to Asshai from here, go to the castle first, and then start from there."

"To save the magic core?" Keech asked casually.

"No, in order not to scare the snake." Amir raised the corner of his mouth and said word by word, and then changed his voice, "Let Avella cover up your departure from Yuan Island for as long as you can. , try not to let people know."

"... I'm going to be lectured by her again." Kiki muttered depressingly.

That afternoon, Kiki managed to comfort Avella and let her stay in the Tower of the Sun on Source Island as a cover for him. Then he changed into the black robe that Amir customized for him, and went through the teleportation magic circle. Chimera Castle.

But when they arrived at the castle, Amir said that they were going out in casual clothes so as not to attract attention, and asked him to take off his robes and put on a set of ordinary noble clothes.

Keech wondered where these clothes came from, and they fit them very well. After asking casually, he realized that these clothes were all made by the castle elves, and they started making them when he came to the castle for the second time.

"We can't let the little master be too shabby." Rafa said solemnly, and then handed a neatly packed suitcase to Kiki's hand, "But I'm sorry, we can't send servants with us, so please forgive me. "

"...it seems that you promised not to call me 'little' master any more." Keech said unhappily.

"My promise is not to call you 'little' master in front of others." Rafa raised his chin.

Kitsch curled his lips, thinking, he shouldn't have questioned Rafa, he should just "squeeze" him into a ball and throw him out of the room.

Since the existence of the teleportation magic circle was hidden from Tina, Kiki walked out through the side door after tidying up, and got into Hasari's sheep cart.After a while, Amir also walked out of the castle accompanied by Tina, and kissed Tina goodbye under the steps.

Seeing Amir kissing Tina, Kiki couldn't help but think of the scene where Amir and Darren kissed passionately in the confessional room of the church, and then remembered that Amir kissed him with the same lips after that.

—What a disgusting association!

Keech rubbed the goosebumps on his arms to push the images out of his mind.

Amir didn't hang out with Tina under the steps for too long, and soon got into the goat cart with his suitcase.

"Are you tired of waiting?" Amir asked casually after closing the car door.

"If I answer no, are you going to make me wait a little longer?" Keech replied indifferently.

Amir was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "I just asked casually, are you serious? Okay, okay, don't get angry with me. Seriously, checkpoints are set up everywhere now, and it's very inconvenient to get in and out. So after leaving here, we will fly directly to Asshai to reduce those unnecessary delays - I hope your luggage will not be too heavy."

"I've already put the suitcase into the nightmare beast's stomach." Kiki raised his hand and grabbed the great magician's robe beside him.

"Obviously, you haven't found the correct way to use this thing." Amir took the robe, opened the retractable pocket, stuffed his suitcase in, then turned the robe over again, along the pocket The junction of the beast was also stuffed into the stomach of the nightmare beast.

When the entire magic robe was stuffed in, the pocket of the clothes immediately became a leather pocket like a money bag. Amir showed off in front of Kiki, and then tied it with a string. own waist.

"A trick to coax a child!" Kiki snorted coldly, turned his head, and ignored him.

Two days later in the afternoon, Amir and Kiki arrived in Yasha. The two of them did not enter the city, but flew directly to the place where the incident happened, the forest between the city of Yasha and the Magic Association.

"Why do you like to set up an ambush here?" Seeing the woods, Kiki muttered suddenly.This is the place where the two magicians from Lucifer's family wanted to ambush him, but his sense was too sharp, which made the opponent not only unsuccessful, but even lost his life.

"Because this is the most suitable place." Amir said without raising his head while looking at the remaining blood and broken blades and broken armor on the ground.

Kiki pouted, closed his eyes, and checked the elemental changes in the woods.

Two full days have passed since the day of the incident, and most of the elements in the woods have returned to their normal state. It is difficult to find out what happened here, only the land on both sides of the road is still a bit abnormal and soft, as if confirming The attackers really did come out of the ground.

Kiki was about to turn his gaze to the two pieces of land, carefully surveying the elemental changes there, when a gaze that was obviously not from Amir caught his attention first.

--who is it?

After confirming that the target was only one person, Kiki didn't bother to greet Amir first, and directly activated the "Ice Tomb" to lock that guy inside.

The next moment, there was a loud "boom" in the woods not far away, as if a heavy object fell from a branch.

"What's going on?" Amir immediately asked Kiki.

"There's a guy peeping." Keech shrugged.

"So you did it?" Amir looked at Kiki helplessly, and walked towards the direction of the voice.

"Don't worry, it's just covered with an ice tomb." Kiki replied disapprovingly.The ability can't distinguish the appearance of that person, and Kiki can only judge that he should be a male magician based on the distribution of elements on the person's body, and this is why he used the ice tomb to cover the person instead of freezing the person to death directly The reason.

But when Amir walked up to that person, Kiki discovered to his dismay that the guy covered by his ice tomb turned out to be one of the members of the Shadow Council, one of the four high-ranking magicians, whose name seemed to be... La Nova?

"Why are you here?" Kitty asked, frowning.

"I'm just in charge of ambush here to see if I can wait for some suspects, Mr. President!" Seeing Kiki and Amir appear, Vilanova was obviously relieved, and hurriedly raised his hands, explaining that he appeared here the reason.

"You know him?" Amir looked at Kiki suspiciously.He didn't know Vilanova, and Vilanova didn't wear magic robes like them, which made Amir recognize his identity for a while.

"He's familiar with Barosh." Keech shrugged suggestively, and waved his hand to dissipate the ice tomb.

Vilanova immediately introduced himself knowingly, "Nice to meet you, Magician Amir. I am Vilanova, a senior magician. I have heard your name well."

"To each other, Vilanova Mage." Amir raised the corner of his mouth knowingly, and returned a mage salute to Vilanova.

After a simple courtesy, Vilanova introduced to Kiki and Amir what he had gained in the past few days - both the Yashai Magic Association and the Yalong Emperor had sent people to check here, and they were the only ones who had been here.It's just that the staff from the Magic Association came too late. When they came, the corpses and other remnants had already been brought back to Asshai by the nobles.

"Who is exercising Asshai's chapter president power now?" Amir asked.

"Probably the Samohel magician." Vilanova replied vaguely.

"Probably?" Amir would certainly not be satisfied with such an answer.

"I'm not in charge of the monitoring within the association." Vilanova spread his hands innocently, "I just heard that Summerhaile took over the authority of the branch president over there on his own initiative, but it seemed that he was obstructed by the dean of Everton. It's not... very smooth."

Amir and Vilanova were exchanging information, but Kiki's eyes were attracted by an arrow shot into the tree trunk not far away. After squinting his eyes and checking with his abilities, he immediately walked over.
