The magicians in the contact tower also watched the one-sided war, but this time Keech and Amir did not use the flying technique anymore, but climbed to the top of the contact tower with other magicians.

When the battle was over, the Royal Knights and the Asshai garrison began to clean up the battlefield, and Sirius took Adong, who had transformed into a human form, and sat on the back of a green dragon with him, and flew to the palace in the city of Assia .

But when passing the communication tower, the green dragon xiong suddenly stopped, flapping its huge wings, suspended in mid-air.

"Excuse me, is the Kiki magician there?" Before the magician on the contact tower could think about the reason why the dragon stopped, Sirius on the dragon's back had already asked.

Keech also changed into the black robe that marked the identity of the great magician today. Hearing Siris' greeting, he turned his head and glanced at Amir. near place.

"Sure enough, it's you, Magician Kiki." Sirius stood up from the dragon's back without pretentious gestures, only showing a smile on his face, and greeted Kiki like friends, "No, it seems, I should now I call you Your Excellency the Great Mage."

Seres obviously wanted to talk to Kiki, but unfortunately, Adong, who was sitting behind Sires, was far less friendly than him. As soon as he saw Kiki drifting over, he immediately raised his eyes, bared his teeth, and threatened Generally growled.

Kiki originally didn't want to have anything to do with Sirius. Seeing A-Dong's appearance, he immediately squinted his eyes in cooperation, and used his ability to activate a freezing technique in A-Dong's body.

"Roar--"

A-Dong still remembers the feeling of being shivered by Kiki's weird water magic back then. As soon as he felt the chill coming from his body, he immediately jumped up from Liong's back like a cat whose tail was stepped on. It returned to the appearance of a red dragon, and then fiercely sprayed a fireball at Kiki.

Keech was also eager to make things worse, so he and Sirius separated the light, and immediately hid but didn't hide. With a slight movement of his mind, a huge water polo instantly condensed and ejected, and collided heavily with A-Dong's fireball.

"Crack, crack!" A series of lightning and thunderous sounds exploded in everyone's ears, and the sparks and water droplets flying around due to the collision created a daytime fireworks in the sky, colorful and bright. And gorgeous.

Seeing such a scene, Seres showed undisguised helplessness on his face, and the green dragon below him hurriedly let out a deep dragon cry.Hearing the dragon chant, A-Dong, who originally planned to continue to blow Kiki out of the sky with fireballs, immediately closed his half-open mouth, flapped his wings angrily, and flew back to Xiong's side.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Magician." Xiong said in human language, "Tong is still young, so he messed around a bit."

"It doesn't matter." Keech replied indifferently, "I am also very young, and I also like to mess around."

Kidge's words blocked Xiong from making a sound, and Sirius hurriedly smoothed the situation and answered, "Noisy is also a way of getting along, Your Excellency Xiong, on this point, I believe Magician Keech and Adong will resonate more ——Mage Kiki, I am very glad to see you on the first day back, but unfortunately we still have to go to the palace to meet the emperor, so we can only make a formal visit later.”

"You don't need to visit, I don't think you will have this time, and neither do I." Kiki replied blankly, turned and flew back to the communication tower.

Seres was slightly taken aback by Kiki's words, but he still bowed slightly to Kiki's back in abiding by etiquette, and then let Xiong continue to fly and turned to the palace.

When he heard the news of Sirius' return, Hill was spending time in the office of the military administration.

After the war officially started, these civil servants became more relaxed, but the battle situation outside has been stalemate, and everyone is not in the mood to chat and laugh. Many people are staring at the sky outside the window, nervously paying attention to the invisible battlefield.

Hill's mood has always been very relaxed, Kiki's arrival gave him the wonderful idea that "Even if Sirius and the dragon don't come back, Asshai can't fall".Although there is actually no logic to this idea, Hill feels that way, at least, Keech will not watch him die, he firmly believes.

And the fact that Kiki used magic to shock the rebels spread throughout the city of Asshai on the day of the incident. After learning the detailed cause and effect, Hill couldn't help being both proud and worried—proud of Kiki's strength and strength. Irresistible, I am worried that he will continue to be violent and disrupt the battle situation.Hill knew Keech very well, and with Keech's character, once he intervened in this war, he would definitely end it in a destructive way. He would neither consider the balance of the situation nor the so-called chivalry—— What is spirit?Keech would have no idea!

Although Kiki's action can bring a quick victory to the Yalong Empire, it is also likely to drag the empire, the entire continent, and even himself into a more chaotic and complicated war quagmire.The reason why Emperor De Rossi used a dormant posture to resolve the civil strife in the empire was, in the final analysis, that he did not want to completely involve the Holy See or other countries and expand disputes.

Perhaps Emperor De Rossi was not the only one who thought this way. After that day, Hill never saw Keech again. He only learned from his father's spies that both he and Amir lived in the contact tower of the Magic Association. Did not leave Asshai.

Then, just when Hill was thinking about finding a reason to visit, Sirius returned with the dragon.

Hearing this news, Hill was completely relieved, and the result was just as he expected. In just one afternoon, the crisis was completely resolved, the entire army of the Bloodthorn Legion was wiped out, and Duke Elan committed suicide.

Hill felt very sorry for Elan's death, but not because of sympathy, but because once he died, many things might be difficult to track down.However, this kind of emotion is fleeting. After the war, the knights and soldiers can rest, but they, the civil servants, will start to be busy, counting casualties, sorting out the aftermath, and there are too many data and trivial matters that need to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Hill once thought that he would be unable to go home tonight like his father, but when it was getting dark, his boss called him to him with a smile and told him to go back to rest.

Hill couldn't help being puzzled, but after a little thought, he guessed that someone had deliberately arranged it, for example, his father.

Hill did not refuse such an arrangement. Anyway, he could not stay in the Military and Political Office for too long. There is no need to play the game of sharing weal and woe with other civil servants here. It is easier to properly demonstrate privileges and let everyone realize the difference in status. Build reputation and deter colleagues.

After returning to Balotelli's mansion, Hill saw his father whom he had not seen for a long time.It's just that Angor's expression is far from being as happy as the officers in the Military and Political Office, and there seems to be sadness hidden in the solemnity, which makes Hill nervous.

"Did something happen again, father?" Hill couldn't help asking, "You called me back from the military and political hall, didn't you?"

"Don't think too much, my son." Angel smiled, "I just think we haven't seen each other for many days, so we should sit down and have dinner together."

"Father, speaking like this will make me think this is the last dinner." Hill deliberately lowered his face, but immediately found that Angor's smile froze, and his heart trembled, "It won't be true yes……"

"What nonsense!" Angel immediately raised his eyebrows, and said scoldingly, "Aren't you going to get the title? Very good, I'll get you a younger brother!"

"No, Father!" Although he knew that Angel was changing the subject, Hill clasped his hands together and made a panicked expression, suppressing all the anxiety and suspicion in his heart.

Angel snorted coldly, and did not continue on this topic. He glanced at the time, got up and took Hill to the restaurant.

At the dinner table, Hill didn't mention anything that might cause discomfort, and only focused on having dinner with his father, discussing some irrelevant topics by the way.But Angle himself quickly turned the topic to Floyd and Prince Kesley, asking Hill if he had received some unknown information from Keech.

"Kiki seems to have found traces of the Holy See at the scene." Hill didn't hide anything, but immediately remembered something, and asked quickly, "By the way, Father, it seems that the Silver Armors that are said to be from the Holy See did not appear in Asia. Appeared outside Xiacheng?"

"We are looking for their whereabouts." Angel nodded, "The silver-haired priest is also missing."

"Could you have gone back to Oz?" Hill guessed.

"We have set up spies and checkpoints on the only way to the border, and we haven't received any news so far." Angel shook his head.

The two were eating and chatting, but the butler suddenly appeared behind Angel, leaned over and whispered something in his ear.

Angel was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and said to Hill, "Prince Siris is here."

"From the main entrance?" Hill asked subconsciously.

Angel smiled slightly, "No."

Sirius came to Balotelli's house through the secret passage in Angel's study, obviously not wanting others to know his whereabouts.

Angel and Hill didn't understand why he came here at this time, but they couldn't just ignore him, so they could only hastily finish dinner, get up and walk to the study.

When the two of them came to the study, Sirius was sitting on the sofa bench and flipping through a travel book. Adong leaned beside him, yawning feebly, as if he was very sleepy.

"Your Excellency Earl Balotelli, Sir Hill." Seeing Angel and Hill coming in, Sirius put down the travel book, smiled and nodded at the two.

"Your Highness." Angel and Hill also bowed and saluted, and began the necessary greetings among nobles.

After a lot of nonsense, Sirius finally turned the topic on the right track, but he didn't want to express his intention of coming, but wanted to have a private talk with Hill.

Angel could not refuse the prince's request, so he could only get up and leave the study, leaving the room to the two young nobles.

Seeing that the door was closed again, Sirius sat up straight and said seriously: "I'm sorry to disturb you at this time, Sir Hill, but the current empire really confuses me, and most of the people in the palace are ambiguous. , so that I can only come to you for answers."

"I understand, Your Royal Highness, I will tell you everything." Hill was stunned for a moment and then understood Siris's intention.Indeed, since Sirius left, there have been incidents in the Yalong Empire and the mainland one after another, some of which Emperor De Rossi did not want to talk about, and some of which people in the court would not care about.

Hill sorted it out in his mind, and considered the words, and then included Keech's assassination of Moriarty, Fernando's death, the fall of the Oz royal family, the split of the Holy See, the rebellion in the three southwestern provinces, and Keech's becoming The new president of the Magic Association, Prince Kesley went to the Magic Association to take refuge but was attacked and disappeared, and the incident that caused Freud's death was described in detail.

Sirius silently listened to Hill's words, pondered for a while, and quickly smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect so many things to happen in the past half a year."

"Who would have thought of that?" Hill also sighed.He thought that Sirius would ask him about breaking off relations with Kiki, but Sirius didn't ask anything, and after a few words of emotion, he got up and left.

"I need to go back and digest it." Sirius said mockingly, "I will visit again in two days, please don't think I'm bothering you sir."

"It is my honor, Your Highness." Hill bowed and replied.

After saying goodbye, Seres was about to get up and leave, but when he moved, he found that Adong had fallen asleep holding his arm at some point.

"Your Excellency A-Dong, this is..." Hill asked suspiciously.

"Her dormancy period is approaching, and she has been very lethargic recently. That's why Your Excellency Ti sent the green dragon who had followed her grandfather to Yashai." Sirius carefully supported A-Dong, pulled out his arm, and then turned her back Hugged her up, "I originally wanted her to stay on Long Island, but she insisted on coming back with me, and Your Excellency Ti has nothing to do with her."

Hill didn't know much about giant dragons, but looking at A-Dong's appearance, it was very similar to the hibernation of some animals, so he didn't ask any more questions, got up and sent Sirius to the lounge where the secret passage was located.

After Sires left, Hill immediately found his father and told him about Sires' intentions.

Inexplicably, Hill felt that his father seemed relieved when he heard that Sirius had only come to inquire about the situation, but this expression flashed by, making it difficult for Hill to judge whether what he saw was true and correct.

That night, due to doubts, Hill did not sleep soundly, always waking up repeatedly because of inexplicable dreams.

In the early morning of the next day, Hill, who couldn't sleep well, simply got up early, but when he walked into the dining room to have breakfast, he found that his father Angel had not appeared in front of the dining table.

"Father hasn't gotten up yet?" Hill asked the butler pretending to be casual.

"Master Angel went to the palace at dawn." The butler explained, then leaned down and whispered in Hill's ear, "Something happened again. Although the rebels outside Asshai City were wiped out, the other Some rebels attacked Miranda County, and yesterday, the Lucifer family who lived there were also... massacred."

"What?" Hilton's eyes widened.
