Seeing Kiki's cautious expression, Hill couldn't help holding his breath, reached out and took out a long sword from under the seat, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Kiki replied, "The one in front, the one in the bottom, your coachman is dead."

"Fin..." Hill immediately clenched his long sword tightly. He just talked to "Fin" and didn't hear anything wrong.

"What should I do?" Kitty asked, tilting his head.

"I'm asking to stop right now." Hill said while thinking, "You prepare an attack spell, if the carriage stops and the man comes to open the door, we will attack together; if he refuses to stop, we will forcefully jump out of the car, in short , can't let them take us to..."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Kiki interrupted indifferently, "I can do it now-do I need them to live?"

Hill was slightly taken aback, then immediately shook his head, "No, just make sure we're alive."

"Understood." Kiki narrowed his eyes, and the next moment, there was the sound of a heavy object falling from under the carriage.

With a "plop", the carriage also stopped.Hill was about to pretend to ask loudly, but Keech directly opened the door and jumped out of the carriage.

Hill hurriedly grabbed the long sword and followed, only to find that there were no other living people in the carriage except him and Kiki.

As Keech said, the coachman Finn sat motionless at the front of the carriage and had become a dead body.A man wearing the costume of Balotelli's servant lay lying on the ground next to him. He seemed to have fallen suddenly when he was walking from the driver's seat to the carriage, but he could tell from the little ice slags on his neck that his The cause of death was by no means the result of the fall.

Hill immediately remembered that Keech had done the same thing to A-Dong next to Sirius, but the dragon was only shivering from the cold, while the person in front of him died immediately.

——Is Kichi showing mercy, or is the gap between humans and dragons too huge?

While thinking, Hill looked to the back of the carriage.

Not far from the carriage was also lying a man wearing the costume of Balotelli's servant. His death was the same as that of the man in front of him. He was frozen into a popsicle in a very short period of time.

"Now, what do we do?" Keech asked.

"Go back to the city." Hill took a deep breath, "Help me and put these two guys and our poor Finn into the car."

"I'll do it myself." As soon as Kiki finished speaking, the corpse behind the carriage automatically floated up, slowly drifted towards the carriage, and then "drilled" into the carriage by itself.

Hill couldn't help shivering, and then he noticed something he should have paid attention to - Keech was too calm, calmer than him, and he didn't panic at all when facing these corpses , as if they were nothing but rocks.

——Kiki didn't show the slightest hesitation or panic when he started to kill.

Hill took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

At this time, Keech had stuffed all three corpses into the carriage, and asked Hill again, "What's next?"

"Get in the car." Hill tried his best to ignore all the conjectures popping up in his head, turned around and boarded the driver's seat of the carriage, and stretched out his hand to pull Kiki up.

"You know how to drive a carriage?" Keech asked in surprise.

"I have learned, but there are not many opportunities to practice." Hill replied, pulling the rein and turning the direction.

The carriage had deviated from its original direction, obviously the two hijackers did not intend to bring them back to the city.Fortunately, Kiki found out in time and dealt with it more quickly, so that they would not have the problem of getting lost again due to the strange land boundary.Hill quickly returned the carriage to the original main road, and rushed to the capital at the fastest speed.

"I'm sorry, Kiki." Hill said to Kiki while driving the carriage, "For safety's sake, I have to drive the carriage home first, can you explain to Magician Tina and ask her to wait a little longer , or come to the Balotelli mansion in person?"

"It's okay, she just asked me to send things over by tomorrow." Keech shrugged.

— she apparently counted the time you were lost.

Hill thought this way, but couldn't produce ridicule.

Because of Keech's unusual calmness, Hill involuntarily regained his sanity, thinking about the ins and outs of this matter.Judging from the performance of those two people, they didn't look like assassins, but rather wanted to kidnap him and Keech.But Hill couldn't think of the reason why the two did this, and he couldn't judge whether the two were targeting him or Keech.

Hill couldn't figure out what value he had, but if the target was Keech, then these people's preparations may not be too insufficient. They even prepared the clothes of Balotelli's house. Didn't they think about spying on Keech? strength?

— By the way, they were wearing Balotelli's clothes.

Thinking of this, Hill immediately narrowed his eyes and turned the target of the kidnapping towards himself.

The journey back was smooth. The soldiers at the city gate knew the Balotelli family's carriage and Hill. Although they didn't understand why the noble young master drove the carriage himself, and there was a distinguished magician sitting beside him, they didn't try to stop him. , and let him go after saying hello.

"He's not afraid of you bringing bad guys into town?" Keech asked curiously.

"This is a time of peace, dear." Hill explained, "Even His Majesty the Emperor himself has no right to inspect a nobleman's private property."

"Is this the so-called aristocratic privilege?" Keech curled his lips.

"Part of the privilege." Hill smiled frankly, reducing the speed of the carriage so that it would not hit pedestrians, nor would it be too eye-catching.

The carriage quickly arrived at the gate of Balotelli's mansion.Seeing his young master driving the carriage back in person, the gatekeeper hurriedly opened the gate, allowing Hill to drive the carriage directly into the mansion.

When Hill stopped the carriage in the courtyard, he was surprised to find that his father, Angel, came out to greet him in person.

"I'm glad you're safe and sound, my dear son." Angel strode up to Hill, put his hands on his shoulders, and looked him up and down. Greatly relieved.

"Father, what do you mean?" Hill couldn't help raising his eyebrows, greatly surprised by Angel's words.

"Let's talk later." Angel let go of Hill, and turned to look at Kiki who was still sitting in the carriage, "Is this your magician friend?"

"Yes." Hill nodded, stretched out his hand to help Kiki out of the carriage, and introduced, "Kiki, this is my father, Angel Balotelli. Father, this is my friend, Junior magician Keech."

"Nice to meet you, Magician Kiki." Angel immediately showed a decent smile that nobles are accustomed to.

"Hello." Keech pulled the corner of his mouth hard.He still doesn't like talking to strangers, even if they have a face similar to Hill's.

Angor saw Keech's vigilance and alienation, immediately withdrew the prepared greetings, turned to Hill and said, "Take your friends to rest first, and then find me in my study."

"Okay, Father." Hill replied calmly.

"Hill, my box is still in the carriage, I have to get it out," Keech reminded.

"Please rest at ease, Magician Kiki, I will have the servant deliver it to your room." Angel interjected.

Keech glanced at him, said nothing, just stood there motionless, waiting for Hill to respond.

"Father, not everyone can touch the things of a magician." Hill continued with a smile, "However, you might as well come over together and see the gift I brought back for you."

Saying that, Hill held Kiki's back affectionately, led him to the carriage, and motioned for his father Angel to come with him.

Angor raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, and followed.

Hill glanced around and saw that none of the servants could see what was inside the carriage, so he opened the door and let Keech use magic to move his two boxes out of the carriage.

The moment Hill opened the carriage, the three corpses in the carriage were finally exposed to Angel.

Angel immediately narrowed his eyes, his expression changed slightly, but he was neither panic nor frightened.

——Why is everyone calmer than him?

Hill, who had been paying attention to his father's expression, couldn't help but feel almost childish depression.

Seeing that Kiki had already taken out the box, Hill closed the car door, turned to his father Angel and asked with a smile, "Do you like the gift I brought back for you?"

"Of course, my child." Angel raised the corners of his lips, "I will use them with great care."

"I'm very glad to hear you say that." Hill smiled slightly, turned around, and led Keech to his room.

Following Hill into his room, Keech immediately said, "Your father seems to know that you have had an accident."

"He always knows everything about me." Hill shrugged self-deprecatingly, "You rest in my room first, and I will go to my father's side to ask the matter clearly."

"Is your home safe?" Kiki asked worriedly, "Or, I'd better stay by your side."

"Don't worry, my dear." Hill smiled. "The Balotelli family invested in the Magic Association for generations not just to meet magicians. Believe it or not, the level of security here is second only to the Palace of Assia."

"Alright then." Keech shrugged without insisting, "I'll contact Tina to see if she can come over in person and pick up the things."

Hearing this, Hill pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "That's fine, by the way, tell her about the danger we encountered. We can't hide this kind of thing, and there's no need to hide it."

"Yeah." Kitty nodded.

After Kiki settled down, Hill ignored the custom of changing clothes after returning home, and went directly to his father Angel's study.

Angel had already waited there as promised. Seeing Hill coming over in his formal attire, he immediately raised his eyebrows and accused him, "My dear son, you don't need to be so flustered."

"Father, if I didn't come back today, would you still be picky about these insignificant details?" Hill sat in front of Angel and asked indifferently.

"But you came back unscathed." Angel shrugged disapprovingly.

"That's just because I was lucky to have a magician by my side." Hill sneered.

"A junior magician who is not as old as you." Angel leaned back on the chair and asked seriously, "Honestly, I'm curious how he got rid of those two people."

"Obviously, magic." Hill replied indifferently.

"That's not magic that a junior magician can master." Angel raised his eyebrows, "I never knew what kind of freezing technique could achieve such a terrible effect-the blood in the veins of those two poor people was frozen It became an icicle!"

"I don't think they are pitiful, my lord father." Hill turned cold.

"Don't ignore the important, my dear son." Angel said calmly, "Until I find out the truth, I have to doubt everything."

"Then you should doubt your younger brother first, my lord father." Hill fought back unceremoniously, "Speaking of which, I'm even more curious about how you knew that I had an accident?"

"Do you think I will let my son go out with only a coachman? Knowing that he is being watched by some people." Angel smiled slightly.

"You sent someone to follow me?" Hill narrowed his eyes.

"It's protection, my son." Angel corrected, "They've always been by your side, from the day you were able to go out alone."

"Then why didn't they come out to rescue me, and just watched my carriage being hijacked?" Hill asked angrily.

"They couldn't do it." Angel said word by word, "Not long after you left the city, they were attacked, and they only had time to send out a distress signal."

——This hijacking was really aimed at him.

Hill couldn't help clenching his fists.

"I've sent people out of the city to look for you, but obviously they didn't come in handy." Angel shrugged.

Hill took a deep breath and continued to ask: "Do you know who did it? Father."

"All I know is that it can't be the work of that stupid brother of mine." Angel sighed, "I thought I could find some clues from the gift you brought back, but unfortunately, your little magician Friends froze them so hard that my men couldn't even take their clothes off."

"I could ask Keech to put them back -- without life, of course," Hill said.

"Now?" Angel raised his eyebrows happily.

"I'll go find him right away." Hill stood up from his chair.

By the time Hill returned to the room, Keech had finished speaking with Tina.

"I seem to have frightened Tina." Keech looked at Hill innocently and helplessly, and told the story of his phone call with Tina.

During the call, he said that he and Hill met a guy who was suspected of being a robber, and Tina nervously asked him if he was injured.After learning that he and Hill had returned to Balotelli's mansion safely, Tina immediately said that she would send someone to protect him and ask him to stay in Balotelli's mansion honestly and not to go out without permission, and then without waiting for Keech's explanation The communication was unilaterally interrupted.

"Mage Tina's decision is correct." Hill said in agreement.

"I don't need protection." Keech pursed his lips depressingly.

"Okay, my dear, anyway, things decided by Magician Tina are always irreversible, so don't think too much about it." Hill put his arm around Kiki's shoulders, and comforted him, "Let's deal with the situation in front of us first." Trouble, for example, there is something here that I need your help with."

"What's the matter?" Keech tilted his head suspiciously.

"Thaw." Hill smiled.
