Although Joey proposed to meet Kiki first, Kiki left Assia five days ago. Even if he got in touch with him through the Magic Association now, he would not be able to come back immediately.After knowing this, Joey could only compromise and agree to tell Hill some things first, and then go to the Magic Association to contact Keech tomorrow morning.

Joey is actually not very clear why they were attacked, who was the identity and origin of the attackers, those people did not wear conspicuous silver armor, they were only dressed as ordinary warriors, but they were all powerful, if they were not leaving Former Hill gave him a lot of magic scrolls, I am afraid that he has already become one of the corpses.

Joey originally wanted to rely on the magic scrolls he brought to survive until the reinforcements arrived. However, when he was busy fighting against the enemy attack with the other knights around him, the queen and prince who were supposed to be blocked by them were caught by the opponent. The captives forced those knights who were still fighting to put down their weapons and capture them without a fight.Without the protection of the knights, the magician hiding behind them could only surrender. It was only then that Joey realized that Floyd was injured at some point and was being supported by a blue-robed magician.

Those attackers originally only wanted to keep the nobles such as the prince and queen, and kill all the knights and magicians such as Joy. It was Mrs. Cheryl who saw their intentions and stepped forward, threatening these attackers loudly. If they Dare to kill these nobles, she will lead the rest of the nobles to commit suicide, making their plan come to naught, no matter what it is.

"Those people didn't seem to want Cheryl and the others to die, but they still killed all the magicians, leaving only a few of us knights." Joy frowned and said, "A magician seemed to want to say something during the period, But they didn't give him a chance to speak."

"Wait, Madam Cheryl threatened them with her own death, and they accepted the threat?" Hill asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yes... no, it's not what you think!" Joey nodded and shook his head quickly, "Mrs. Cheryl is not the planner of this matter, she just saw through the intentions of those people, the real planner... Someone else!"

"Who?" Hill asked.

Joey hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered, "Queen Hathaway."

"This...how is it possible?" Hill couldn't help being stunned. "Kidnapping herself, what good would it do her? Also, how did you know about this? She wouldn't have admitted it herself, right?"

"The person who saved me told me, and..." Joey clenched his fists and told what happened afterwards.

When they were first captured, Joey didn't know where they were taken. The attackers tied their arms, blindfolded them, and stuffed them into several carriages, but the carriages did not drive for long. , apparently the destination was very close to where they were attacked.

When the black cloth on the eyes was removed, Prince Kesley and others had disappeared, and Joey found himself locked in a dungeon with several other knights.Those martial artists untied the ropes on their arms and replaced them with magical shackles, making them unable to use their battle qi normally and escape from the prison.

For a long time after that, they could only see a tall, thin man with a black cloth covering his face. He was responsible for delivering food to them so that they would not starve to death, but he never talked to them, just Like a mute.

These days continued until two days ago, when the fighters who attacked them appeared in front of them again, dragged them out of their cells, and brought them to a torture chamber-like room above.As a torture room, this place is rather crude, obviously just set up, Joey couldn't see the previous use of the room, but soon he saw the methods of these guys, professional, cruel and very measured, using simple tools It can make people want to live without dying.

What shocked Joey the most was that Prince Kesley was also sitting with these people. He was not tied up, nor did he seem to be threatened. On the contrary, he was very excited to watch these people torture the knights, asking They say all kinds of unspeakable things.

Joey doesn't know what these people want to know from them. From his point of view, these people seem to be making fun of them. The questions they ask are random without rules, and they don't care much about the answers. Only when he whines will he show a satisfied smile.

Soon, Prince Kesley also joined the ranks of torture under the instigation of these people, and Joey became his first test subject because Kesley thought that Joey would always be tortured when he was on duty in the palace. Disobedience to his orders, lack of respect and loyalty to him.

"You don't look like you have been tortured." Hill asked suspiciously.

"Almost." Joey sighed with a wry smile.

Just when Kesley selected Joey, the door of the torture room opened suddenly, and a black-haired man wearing a silver mask and a black priest's robe walked in.Seeing the black-haired priest come in, the other warriors in the room hurriedly stood up and saluted him in awe.

But Prince Kesley didn't seem to know the priest, and instead accused him of interrupting his "game" very unhappy.

The black-haired priest ignored Kesley and asked what these people were doing here, so Prince Kesley also grabbed a red-hot iron and walked towards Joey with it. past.

Joey thought he would not be able to hide, so he could only stare, hoping to scare Kesley away with a ferocious expression, but unfortunately Kesley was unmoved at all, and walked quickly to the place with his short legs. In front of Joey, he proudly raised the soldering iron.But the moment he raised the soldering iron, the new priest had already lifted his foot first, kicking Kesley away from Joey with a slam.So instead of landing on Joey, Kersley's iron fell on his own head when he was kicked away.

The screams sounded immediately, and the martial artist who had been waiting to watch the scene hurried over to remove the soldering iron from Kesli.From Joey's position, it was impossible to see exactly where Kesley was injured, but the smell of scorched flesh clearly penetrated into Joey's nose, obviously the injury was serious.

At this time, another silver-haired priest also came in. Seeing the chaos in the room, he immediately asked suspiciously about what happened and why Kesley was here.

The black-haired priest didn't speak, but another martial artist who looked like a little boss stood up and explained to the silver-haired priest with a more humble attitude than the black-haired priest.As Joey guessed, these people really dragged them up for interrogation because they were bored, and the appearance of Kesley was a coincidence. He didn't want to be bored in the room studying, and wanted to do something far more interesting than reading and writing. For a more exciting game, when I was walking in the corridor, I met a warrior who was going to lead someone to the dungeon, and immediately followed him enthusiastically.

"So you brought him here?" The silver-haired priest seemed annoyed, "Didn't his mother stop him?"

"She's not by his side, she might have gone to build up a relationship with that great magician." The little boss shrugged.

The silver-haired priest muttered something in a low voice, then waved his hand, and ordered Kesley to be taken down for treatment, and then asked the black-haired priest why he saved Joey.

"I know him." Joey was taken aback by the black-haired priest's answer. He couldn't help but raised his head, looked at the priest again, and suddenly felt that his figure was indeed familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

But before Joey could figure out who the priest was, they were sent back to the dungeon and locked up again.

When we met again this evening, the black-haired priest suddenly appeared in the dungeon and brought Joey out of it.Joey thought he was going to interrogate himself alone, or something else, but he untied Joey's magic shackles, took him out of the building where they were, and then walked straight in the night without entering any house.

At this time, the mage towers that can be seen everywhere made Joey realize that the place they were in could only be the Magic Association. He really wanted to ask why they were here, and where the black-haired priest wanted to take him, but The silence around him made him dare not speak, so he could only silently follow behind the priest.

But not long after, when the walls of the Magic Association appeared in front of Joey, Joey finally understood the priest's intentions—obviously, he wanted to rescue him.

Joey hurriedly asked the black-haired priest to rescue the others, but the black-haired priest sneered, "Can't you go out first by yourself, and then ask other people to help? Also, do you really think they need your rescue? "

Joey couldn't help being taken aback. Before he could figure out the last sentence of the black-haired priest, his body had already floated up by itself, over the wall, and then fell to the ground.

Hearing this, Hill understood why Joey still refused to report the incident to Emperor De Rossi, knowing that it was impossible to contact Kiki soon.

This matter involves the prince, the queen, and may even involve the battle for the throne. If Joey speaks out casually, it may force De Rossi to silence him in order to preserve the reputation of the royal family. If you don't speak, you don't know the right.Anyway, he is the only son of the Duke of Grant. Even if the emperor suspects that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, as long as no definite evidence can be found, it is impossible to touch him.

——It’s rare that you are smart for a while.

Hill thought so, but his eyes couldn't help but glanced at the wall around him.At this moment, the wall has ears, and De Rossi, Sirius, and Hill's father Angel are sitting next door, listening to the conversation between Hill and Joey through the hidden pipe in the wall.

Hill couldn't expose the matter to Joey, he could only secretly guide him during the conversation, so that he should try his best not to say words that would trigger De Rossi's murder.On the other hand, the black-haired priest that Joey mentioned emphatically and the fact that he wanted to meet Keech first also made Hill involuntarily associate the priest with Keech.

Of course, the image described by Joey is far from Kidge, so this person cannot be Kidge, but the way this person easily brought Joey out of the Magic Association is very similar to Kidge's spell-casting habits. Therefore, Hill inevitably thought of another person who also had black hair and the ability of Chimera blood, Xiu Qi.

"He was the one who sent you to the palace, right?" Hill continued to ask.

To Hill's surprise, Joey didn't answer immediately, but clenched his fists, bit his lips, and showed a sad and complicated expression.

"Is there... something wrong?" Hill asked tentatively.

Joey nodded, but immediately said: "Sorry, Hill, I can only talk to Magician Kiki alone about the next things, but don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with Prince Kesley and the others. ...The private matter of the Kiki magician—you must contact him as soon as possible, this is really important!"

"Understood, I'm going to the contact tower of the Magic Association, I hope they won't turn me away." Hill glanced at the dark night outside the window, stood up with a wry smile.

"Why don't I go with you, the sound of my knocking on the door must be louder than yours." Joey followed and stood up.

"Can't I bring two warriors over there to help?" Hill returned Joey with a pair of blank eyes, "You should honestly wait for news from me in the palace."

Joey also knew that he was not suitable for acting casually now, so he could only sigh and sit back.

Hill walked over and patted him on the shoulder, turned around, and left the small living room.

But after walking out of the small living room where Joey was, Hill did not immediately go to the Magic Association. He turned around and walked into the next door where De Rossi and others were, waiting for the next instruction from Emperor De Rossi.

Hill was sure that the three people next door could hear everything he and Joey said.De Rossi's face was also ugly as Hill expected, but Sirius looked calm and composed, and didn't seem to take what Joey said to heart.Angel's expression was also very flat, but he was originally just a foil, even if he had thoughts, he had to hide them.

De Rossi didn't say anything to Hildo, he just waved his hand and asked him to get in touch with Keech as Joey wanted.

Hill didn't say much, and bowed out of the direction, and asked someone to prepare a carriage to take him to the contact tower of the Magic Association.

Although it was late at night, Hill still knocked on the door of the communication tower. After identifying himself, a blue-robed magician led him into the lobby of the communication tower, and soon brought down a black-robed magician. the great magician, listen to his coming.

Hill actually didn't know why Joey insisted on seeing Keech. He could only say that he had obtained important clues about the murder of the great magician Floyd, but the content of the clues must be told to the President of the Magic Association in person.

"Are you sure this is an important clue?" asked the great magician that Hill had never seen before.

"Yes." Hill nodded solemnly, "Please tell Lord Keech my name, and he will understand that I am definitely not talking nonsense."

"If it wasn't for your name, you wouldn't be sitting here at this time." The black-robed magician raised the corners of his mouth meaningfully, and then turned to say without waiting for Hill to ask, "Don't worry, I will immediately send Tell this matter to the President, but he will definitely not be able to see you tonight, Mr. Balotelli, please leave a convenient time and place so that we can contact you after the President arrives .”

"Can't I talk to him directly?" Hill asked suspiciously.

"I'm sorry, I can't." The black-robed magician spread his hands pretending to be regretful.

"Okay." Although Hill didn't understand why it couldn't work, he still chose the golden lotus as the meeting place, and asked them to arrange for Kiki to meet him there.

"You can go back and have a good sleep, Mr. Balotelli, and wait after lunch." The black-robed magician hinted.
