"This can indeed be used as an explanation to everyone." Joey patted Hill on the shoulder, "Otherwise, those guys guarding the gate will all have to commit suicide and apologize."

"I'm very sorry, Joey." Although Hill was furious at the moment, he had to control his emotions so as not to lose his composure in front of Joey.

Joey also knew that since Kevin dared to confront them so righteously, there must be something to rely on behind him, and if he got to the bottom of it, he might not be able to get the result they wanted.

What's more, this is a servant of the Balotelli family. No matter what, he can't make Hill too embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Joey stopped participating in the matter, opened the door and walked out of the room, leaving the follow-up matters to Hill himself.

"Did you kill the two people in the dungeon?" Hill asked after the door was closed.

Kevin stood with his eyes downcast, but didn't respond.

Hill only regarded him as acquiescing, and continued to ask: "Why?"

Kevin still didn't speak, but raised his head and looked at Keech beside Hill.

Of course, Hill didn't think Keech was his messenger. Kevin was just implying that there were outsiders here, and it was not suitable for communicating secrets.But Hill also would not take the risk of being alone with a killer who didn't even know who the owner was. He didn't ask any more questions. He strode to the door, opened the door, and called Joey back.

"Do me a favor, find some people and lock him up in the dungeon." Hill said coldly.

Joey couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and Kevin couldn't help but say, "Master, I'm just following orders, you can ask the people around His Highness..."

"I don't want to ask anyone anymore." Hill interrupted Kevin blankly, "No matter who you ordered, it must not be my order, so you betrayed me—your master. Similarly , no matter what you want to do, since you have been discovered by me—we, your actions are tantamount to failure, and you will pay the price for it, you must pay the price.”

"If you really follow orders, then pray that the guy who ordered you will come to save you!" Joey interjected with a smile, and then called two knights to take Kevin into the dungeon.

Of course, the charge wasn't homicide, but the one Kevin offered them - negligence, adultery with the maid.

This matter has come to an end. Hill and Joey cautiously did not interrogate Kevin, but early the next morning, they received another shocking news——

The Governor of Tampa is dead.

When Hill and Joey received the news, they immediately thought of Kevin, but then, the more specific cause of death came out at a faster speed.

Although Tampa died by accident, it was not an assassination, but another extremely disgraceful way.

In fact, he was prodding someone else's body when the accident happened - a beautiful married woman.

This kind of stimulation seems to be too much. The governor who was too focused on this piston movement obviously ignored the endurance of his obese body. While sending his own essence into the lady's body, he also gave his life to Gave it to death.

When the lady who shared the bed with him realized that the Governor of Tampa had actually died on her body, she was frightened and froze, and screamed recklessly. The hysterical voice instantly alarmed the entire Governor's Mansion, and also excited Aroused the curiosity of several nearby families.

The hostess was not there, and the Governor's Mansion where the hostess died couldn't keep a secret. The news immediately flew over the entire city of Yani like a bird, and was hotly discussed by nobles and commoners alike.

Hill and the others didn't dare to regard this incident as a simple accident, and even Keech couldn't help asking Hill when no one was around, "Did that driver of yours do it?"

"Don't mention it again." Hill raised his finger to press against his mouth, and said seriously, "Even if it's true, don't say it."

Kitsch curled his lips and obediently stopped talking.

Hill discouraged Keech in this way, but he couldn't help thinking of more.The timing is too coincidental, why did it happen when Kevin disappeared, why did it happen after the interview between Sirius and Emperor De Rossi, and why did it happen before the arrival of the Magic Association and the Blue Dragon Corps... These things are one by one The eye-catching pearls are connected together by a silk thread called coincidence, making it impossible not to doubt the identity of the person who connected them, and his father, the person who assigned Kevin to be his coachman, played a part in it. kind of role.

Hill was curious, but unable to ask questions, he could only keep a bunch of doubts in his heart and wait for another time.

After receiving the news of Governor Tampa's death, Prince Siris did not pretend to be deaf and dumb, and immediately sent an envoy to the Governor's Mansion to express his condolences, but he himself stayed in the government affairs hall, waiting to welcome the airship from the Magic Association.

Near noon, a black spot finally appeared in the sky, and the knights who had been guarding there immediately notified Sirius and the others.When Seres drove Adong, Hill and others out of the government affairs hall, the airship showed its full appearance, shocking the residents of the city with its size and magic.

After landing smoothly, several ropes were thrown from the airship first, and several knights who had been waiting around immediately ran up to grab the ropes and tied them to the stakes nailed yesterday.

After the ropes were fastened, the steps to disembark were lowered from the ship. A group of officers wearing centurion costumes but no armor disembarked first, followed by three magicians.

Keech only knew two of them, one was of course Amir, and the other was Barosh who wrapped himself tightly in a black robe as usual.Although Kiki didn't know the remaining male magician, he quickly recognized him as a rare high-level light magician.

While Keech was watching the magician, Hill was watching the officers.Although there were not many of them, most of them were older. The oldest seemed to be 50 years old, and the youngest was definitely no less than [-] years old.

——Is this assigned on purpose?

Hill couldn't help guessing, because what they need most at this time is the guidance and deterrence of the elders.Although the governor of Tampa is dead, the garrison officer of Yani City is still alive and well. He may accept Sires' assignment, but he certainly doesn't want to be ordered around by a group of young men.And Joey and most of them are still preparatory knights who have not completed their "apprenticeship". It is okay to fool the common people, but it is absolutely impossible to shock the nobles with this identity.

Sirius welcomed all the guests on the airship into the government affairs hall, and entertained these guests from afar with a simple lunch with only basic staple food.

This lunch didn't take too much time, but after more than ten minutes, the officers finished eating, and the leader of a centurion stood up and asked Sirius for the task.

Sirius didn't delay, and immediately put down the knife and fork, asked the attendants to remove the tableware, and held a meeting directly in the restaurant. Hill and Joey gave a brief introduction on the current situation of Yani City without any concealment, and discussed Show the difficulties they face to everyone present one by one.

In fact, during the interview yesterday, Sirius and the others had already informed Duke Grant of the situation here, and had a detailed discussion on the tasks that the first batch of people would undertake.So, after hearing Hill and Joey's introduction, the leader of the centurion did not ask any questions, only asked Sirius for a letter, and then rushed to Yani with several other centurion The city's garrison battalion received the soldiers there.

Several other centurion commanders also stood up, requesting to transfer some manpower from Sirius' knight guard for their deployment.Sirius directly transferred the job to Joey, and he led these people out to pick people.

The rest of the people couldn't be idle, there was still a boatload of food waiting to be allocated outside. According to Sires' plan, tonight, he would provide the first dinner to the residents in the city and the disaster victims outside the city.

The three magicians from the Magic Association did not participate, nor did they live in the government affairs hall like the officers of the team. After the meeting, they bid farewell to Sirius and went to the communication tower diagonally opposite.

Keech also had to leave Hill and was taken out by Amir.

As soon as they entered the communication tower, Amir and the others found that something was wrong inside. The mid-level magician who was supposed to be guarding here was gone, and only two junior magicians appeared in front of them nervously. Keech immediately shivered.

"What's going on?" Amir squinted at Kiki.

Keech shrugged, and in front of everyone, he told the story of trapping two intermediate magicians with the ice wall.

As soon as he finished speaking, the light magician immediately burst into laughter, Barosh also sighed helplessly, and muttered, "Young people nowadays!"

Amir didn't accuse Kiki of anything, but just gave him a hard look, and then continued to go upstairs with Barosh and others, looking for a room where he could stay.

"Am I moving here too?" Keech asked uneasily.

"Give me a reason why I don't need to move." Amir replied coldly.

——Because I was worried about keeping Lizzy by Hill's side.

Kitsch bit his lip and said, "Can we talk alone?"

Amir glanced back at him, raised his eyebrows, then greeted Barosh and the light magician named Calvin, and led Kiki into the room he had chosen.

After closing the door, Kiki took the initiative to confess, telling what he had met Xiuqi and Liqi, and some of the family affairs he heard from Xiuqi, but concealed that Chimera can only use women as the key to inheritance.

Amir didn't show much surprise, just raised his eyebrows, and joked: "I don't think you want to fulfill your grandmother's last wish and marry your sister, do you?"

"Why do you all ask that!" Keech said with a frown.

"Who else, Hill? That's him, I guess you shouldn't talk too much about these things with other people." Amir said.

"Sill will keep it a secret, I trust him." Keech pouted.

"I also believe it, because leaking the secret won't do him any good." Amir said disapprovingly, "But then again, you still haven't told me why you don't want to move here."

Kitsch bit his lip hesitantly, hesitating to speak.

Amir didn't urge him, just leaned on the chair, quietly waiting for him to speak.

After a while, Keech finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said what he had kept in his heart for a long time, "I want to be with Hill, I like being with him."

Amir's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly, "This reason is not enough. Being together and living together are not the same concept."

Keech opened his mouth, and finally became cruel, and yelled loudly, "I hate the way Likki looks at Hill, it makes me...very uneasy!"

Hearing this, Amir sighed helplessly, "If I heard correctly, are you jealous of your sister?"

Keech lowered his head, biting his lip.

"No, it's not just jealousy, but also distrust." Amir said indifferently, "You don't trust Hill as much as you thought, and you don't believe that he will be 'with you'."

"... It's impossible for a man to be with a man, isn't it?" Kiki said with downcast eyes.

"It depends on what your definition of 'being together' is, simply living together, or something more." Amir stretched out his hand and pulled Kiki to sit beside him, "Body and body together It is extremely easy, but the hardest is the heart, because no matter how close the body is, two people will not become one person, and two hearts will not become one heart."

"I don't understand." Keech said sullenly.

"This is not something that can be understood by listening to other people's explanations." Amir hugged Kiki into his arms and raised his hand to ruffle his black hair. "You have to feel it yourself."

"Aren't you going to stop me...and Hill?" Keech asked hesitantly.

"Will it be useful to stop it? Will you be obedient?" Amir snorted, "Besides, this is not something you can get what you want. Why should I be that villain and waste so much effort."

"Then, can I not move here?" Kiki's eyes lit up.

"Stop dreaming!" Amir raised his hand and gave Kiki a nod, "Move here honestly, don't forget, I haven't settled with you yet for eloping with that young master!"

"Then, can you bring Li Qi here?" Keech bargained tentatively.

"Do you want to pack Hill into a suitcase and bring it to you?" Amir asked with a sneer.

Keech pursed his lips and said nothing more.

"Take it as a test for him." Amir patted Kiki's head, "Distance, usually allows you to see a person more thoroughly, to see if he can't help but resist the temptation, to see if he is compatible with You are just as loyal. Don’t forget, even if you can take your spring-loving sister away from him now, you can’t guarantee that he won’t meet other women or men in the future. The key lies in himself, whether he can resist the temptation , Is it worth your effort?"

Keech remained silent, only biting his lips tighter.

"It's not a big deal, at most it's just disappointment and then sadness." Amir continued, "Sadness doesn't kill people. At least, I've never heard of anyone dying from sadness."

"...I feel disgusted by the feeling now. I feel like crying Lizzie, like a woman." Kiki buried his head in Amir's chest and said sullenly.

"Sentimentality is not a bad thing, at least, it can prove that we are still human and have a heart." Amir stroked Kiki's black hair and murmured.
