Emperor Fire

The envoy said: "His Royal Highness has not clarified what the raid was from the beginning until now."

Siro said: "That's because you haven't shown due sincerity from the beginning to now."

The messenger said: "Your Highness is too cautious." If it weren't for the status of Crown Prince Xi Luo, he would have said that he was too suspicious!

Ciro smiled and said, "Don't you? Don't worry, I will never let the Duke of Baseco attack the capital of Shamanlier. I'm not so naive."

The envoy said: "May we reconsider His Highness's suggestion?"

Shiro looked slightly cold.

Lawrence hurriedly said: "The longer you stay in Fanriel, the more dangerous it will be. His Majesty the Emperor has noticed this place frequently recently, and it will be of no benefit to anyone if we keep procrastinating."

The messenger said: "However, His Highness' request is not consistent with our original idea."

Siro said: "That's because you didn't ask my opinion when you conceived."

The messenger bowed his head.

Even though he was separated by a long table, Ciro could still feel disapproval from him.

"I can give you another nine hours." Ciro looked at the clock, "I want to know the answer before eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

The envoy nodded.

Shi Luo's eyes darkened, and he casually glanced at the mages standing behind the messenger, then got up and walked out.

He didn't go far, just stood at the end of the corridor, quietly standing in the shadow, looking in the direction of the door.

After a while, Lawrence came out with the messengers.

Lawrence seemed to say something to them again.Judging by the look on the messenger's face when he turned his head away, Lawrence probably meant threats.

After sending the guards to send them to the guest room, Lawrence turned and walked towards Xi Luo's position.

"Your Highness."

Ciro waved his hand, "Go and find out the origins of those magicians."

Lawrence frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to find out." Those magicians hid their faces in their cloaks all day long, so they couldn't see clearly, and they didn't allow people to get close, so they couldn't do it if they wanted to. "What did your Highness find?"

Ciro said: "It's not a trivial matter for the Duke of Baseco to cooperate with Hayden's raid. I only gave him nine hours, but he agreed without hesitation. Tell me, why?"

Lawrence frowned and thought for a while, "Is there someone in the mission who can make the decision? Then why didn't he show up?"

"Maybe it's because we're afraid that we'll do something to him," Siro said.

Lawrence became excited, rubbed his hands together and said, "That means, there is a stupid chip sent up?"

Shiro glanced at him, "What are you going to do?"

Lawrence said, "Isn't Your Highness going to do something?"

"At present our biggest enemy is..." Shiro pointed upwards, "Anyone who can help us defeat him can be counted as an ally for the time being."

Lawrence said: "Then why does Your Highness want me to find out the identity of the magician?"

Xi Luo lowered his eyes, and said after a while, "Since you've come to my territory, you should talk about the old days."

Lawrence looked at the back of Ciro who turned and left, and suddenly had a feeling that he knew the identity of the magician. The so-called investigation... should be sure, right?

The moonlight at night is a bit dim.

When Ciro returned to the room, he could only see a gray mess on the bed.

He slowly approached the bed step by step, and saw Soso lying on his back, sleeping peacefully, as if he didn't need to worry about anything.Looking at this innocent sleeping face, no one would have imagined that he is a prince in exile who is wanted by his own country, his uncle and stepmother.

Shiro exited silently and closed the door.

Galen appeared behind him, "His Royal Highness Prince Suosuo seems to be planning to leave."

Ciro said in a deep voice, "I said I would send him back to Shamanlier."

Gallen said: "Your Highness is hesitating whether to return to Shamanlier or Gu Lan."

Shiro turned his head, "How do you know?"

Gallen said, "Frank said it."

Shi Luo frowned, and said immediately: "Whatever he thinks, he will be sent directly to the carriage when the time comes."

Gallen watched him go downstairs, and asked suspiciously, "Where is your Highness going?"

"sleep."

Galen looked at the closed bedroom door, then at Ciro who was walking further and further away, and followed up with interest.

The sun rose early, and eight hours passed in a blink of an eye.

The envoy originally thought that he would have to wait for a long time like last night to see Xi Luo, but he did not expect that when they entered the meeting room, Xi Luo was already there.

"His Royal Highness." They saluted one after another.

Shiro turned his head and fixed his eyes firmly on one of the magicians.

The messenger turned sideways indiscriminately, half blocking his sight, and whispered, "Your Highness?"

Shiro looked back and made a gesture of asking to sit.

The delegation sat down according to the seating arrangement last night.

"How are you thinking?" Shiro asked straight to the point.

The messenger said: "If His Highness can guarantee that the raid will not harm the interests of Shamanliel, we will agree."

Ciro raised the corner of his mouth, and said with a half-smile, "Your request is equivalent to denying my proposal."

The messenger froze.

Siro said: "Letting Shamanliel's soldiers participate in the raid and encounter danger is in itself harming Shamanliel's interests. Unless it is an exercise."

The messenger said: "It's not this kind of formal damage."

Ciro said aggressively: "So what kind of damage? Would you like to list them one by one?"

The envoy went back yesterday and discussed with the mission for a long time, but he did not expect the other party to say this. After hesitating for a while, he said: "In this case, you can ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take His Royal Highness Prince Soso to the border of Shamanlier first, and wait for the Duke of Baseko After agreeing to cooperate with your raid, then decide whether to release Prince Suosuo. What do you think?"

Ciro raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "If I remember correctly, you seemed to have a proposal yesterday."

The messenger frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

"About the soul magic contract."

The messenger's face turned pale.It takes courage to propose this contract. Obviously, his courage was abundant last night, but it is a little lacking today.But he quickly reacted and nodded vigorously, for fear that if he did not click hard enough, his determination would not be firm enough.

Ciro said: "I suddenly feel that this proposal is very good."

The messenger said: "Since Your Highness has decided so, I will..."

"It's not you." Shiro interrupted him.

The messenger was taken aback.It wasn't him, could it be Ciro?Is he going to continue to keep Soso, and then let himself be contracted by this kind of soul magic?

When he saw Xi Luo stretching out his finger and pointing behind him, he knew that he was too naive.

"He. I want to sign a soul magic contract with him." Ciro raised the corner of his mouth, "As long as he agrees, I will release him immediately."

Before the magician behind the messenger could respond, he refused first, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I cannot agree to your request."

Ciro was not surprised by his answer, but still pretended to be listening attentively.

"He is a magician I hired, and I have no right to ask him to make sacrifices for us." The envoy spoke forcefully, regaining some of the majesty of a veteran on the battlefield.

Shiro said, "Is that so?"

The messenger said: "I hope His Highness can make other requests that don't embarrass us so much."

Xi Luo crossed his fingers and leaned against the back of the chair. The words he said in such a comfortable posture were cold, "I always thought that your relationship was very good, but I didn't expect...it was nothing more than that. At this moment, it really is better to compare yourself important."

The messenger frowned.He seemed to be totally incomprehensible to the string of words that Siro suddenly came out of.

"Long time no see, stay safe." The magician behind the messenger raised his hand and lifted off the cloak covering his head, revealing a young and beautiful face.

Ciro said, "Long time no see, Dilling? Baseko."

Di Lin smiled slightly, saluted politely again, and then said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to see you again."

Ciro said: "How do you think about my proposal?"

Dilling replied without thinking, "I refuse."

Xi Luo said: "It seems that what I said before is not wrong."

Dilling was unmoved by his sarcasm, and said: "I know Soso well, so I know that he absolutely does not want me to use this method to save him."
