Emperor Fire

The branches and leaves of the forest are entangled with each other to form a rich green sky, and the light can faintly penetrate through the gaps in the sky and fall on the intertwined ground, mottled and mottled.

The carriage was jolting.

Gallon suddenly tensed his body, pricking up his ears to listen attentively to the movement around him.

Shi Luo, who was sitting in front of him reading a book, raised his eyes.

Gallon's palm rested on the hilt of the sword.

Shiro nodded.

Gallon swished the door open, went out, and closed the door in one go.

Shi Luo only felt a chill on his face, and the big man disappeared into the carriage.

The carriage slowed down.

Shiro continued to read.

After reading a line for 1 minute, the gallon has not returned.The surrounding fire elements surged violently.

He closed the book, put it in the cabinet next to it, and then took out the magic wand from the space bag.

The galloping heat wave is coming from the front!

The horse neighs!

Six magicians suddenly appeared from the shadows, and they all stopped in front of the carriage to block the flames that were pouring in like a flood.

Trees were burning, and the sound of wind and burning intertwined.

Shiro got out of the carriage.

Among the accompanying magicians who secretly protected him were two water magicians and two fire magicians.The two of them extinguished the fire with water, and the two worked hard to break down the fire into fire elements.The remaining wood-type magicians and earth-type magicians commanded the trees to encircle them and protect them, and built an earth wall to form a second line of defense.

The Knights are still hiding in the dark.

Shiro narrowed his eyes.

Gallon hasn't returned yet.

The fire is still burning, but there is no next wave of action.

"Oops." The wood magician suddenly called out.

Shiro glanced at him.

The wood magician turned around nervously, bowed his head and said, "I feel that the wood elements in the forest are extremely active."

Xi Luo asked, "Any other wood magicians?"

"More than one." The wood magician closed his eyes, felt for a while, and opened his eyes with a pale face, "Many, many. The wood elements are growing crazily!"

It was getting darker and darker.

Shiro looked up.

The already dense leaves are getting denser and denser, desperately trying to make up for the distance and gaps between each other.The surrounding branches also moved slowly, forming a huge net.

In comparison, the wood-type protective barrier formed by the wood-type magicians just now is a bit shabby.

The earth magician trembled and said, "This, is this going to lock us up?"

The Knights appeared.It seemed to come out of the ground suddenly, holding a long sword and flying fast.Wherever the sword light went, branches and leaves fluttered.

Shiro watched silently.

Finally can't help but want to make a move?But who came up with this stupid idea?

Hall?Castalon II?Or... Mrs. Rachel?

Gallon found himself cut off.Not long after he left the carriage.

The plants in the forest seemed to have their own consciousness, and they moved around strangely, quickly covering up his origin.But if the wood magician is smart enough, he shouldn't cover up his origin so tightly.Sometimes, being deliberately hidden feels like hinting.

He jumped onto the branch, and before he could stand still, he felt a strong killing intent coming from behind him!

He drew his sword sharply and turned around.

The two swords exchanged in mid-air.

Gallon looked at each other expressionlessly.

The opponent's face was completely hidden under the mask--a very crude mask.

Gallon said coldly: "Kean."

According to the agreement, the Duke of Baseco cooperated with Hayden's attack, and Ciro released Soso.And the subsequent transactions and conditions are completely developed in the mutual benefit and mutual trust between the two parties.

And that's how reality works.

Ivan obtained Xi Luo's approval and made it very clear that as long as Soso wanted, they could leave the caravan at any time.However, he very sincerely advises them to stay until Santu.After all, the border between Santu and Banding Empire is not peaceful recently.

Since Shamanliel and the Banding Empire joined forces, the God of Light has suffered heavy losses, so it has secretly used various means to harass the two countries.Pretending to be a robber is one of their specialties.In order to prevent Dilling and Soso from being damaged and causing tension between Shamanlier and the Banding Empire, Ivan sincerely hopes to personally escort them to the Duke of Baseko's barracks.

Dilling accepted this friendly help.

He is not afraid of taking risks, but he can't let Soso get into trouble again.

Soso looked a little absent-minded.After waiting for Ivan to express his meaning, he asked softly, "Isn't Shiro coming?"

Ivan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Your Highness has already returned." Ciro had leaked his whereabouts with great fanfare in order to save them from the siege, so there was no need to hide it.

Soso lowered his head.The blond hair seemed to lose its luster in an instant.

Ivan said: "However, Your Highness left a letter for me to bring to you." He took out the letter from his pocket and gave it to him.

Suo Suo took it in surprise, and quickly opened the letter.

The letter is very short.

The first to third sentences are all about the Sherlock Mercenary Corps——

Fiona and Seton have reconciled.

Olof is wandering.

Sherlock's mercenary group is safe and sound.

Only the last sentence mentions Soso——

Have a nice trip.

The Trozzo caravan quickly passed the checkpoints of the Banding Empire and headed towards Santu.

Dilling noticed that Soso had been absent-minded recently, no, it should have been since he received the letter from Ciro.The swollen face often wrinkled when thinking about it.

"What are you thinking?" He looked at Soso who was hugging his knees.

Sosuo raised his head hesitantly, his big and round eyes were confused, "I can't figure it out."

"Can't figure it out?" Dilling was puzzled.

Suo Suo said: "Well. I'm a little sad."

Dilling said, "Because of Ciro?"

Soso nodded without hesitation, "It would be great if he could be our neighbor."

Dilling: "..."

Suo Suo looked sadly and said: "I know this is impossible." Xi Luo is the crown prince of the Ban Ding Empire and the future heir of the empire, which is different from him and Di Lin.

Dilling stroked his hair and said, "From the map, we are only one santu away from him."

Sosuo blinked, "But it's inconvenient to go back and forth, and it's also inconvenient to sleep together."

"..." Di Lin was silent for a while, and said in the calmest tone possible, "Sleep?"

Soso looked at him innocently.

Di Lin remembered something, his ears were slightly red, his eyes swept away uncomfortably, he was a little embarrassed to say but he had to ask, "How do you sleep?"

Soso stared at him blankly.

The red tide on Dilling's ears gradually spread to his face.

Sosuo stretched out his hand, hugged him, and leaned on his shoulder, "This way."

Dilling was afraid that he would be tired, so he hugged him with his backhand, "That's all?"

"Also, it can move." Although he had already hugged Shiro very hard, they would wake up on the bed at different angles almost every morning.

"Move?!" Di Lin's face suddenly changed.

dong dong.

knocking.

Dilling opened the door, his face still flushed with anger or shame.

"Your letter." Pan handed him the letter.

Di Lin took the letter suspiciously, and when he saw the ostentatious font on the envelope, the corners of his tight mouth subconsciously moved up.

"Is it a letter from my uncle?" Soso asked beside him.

Thinking of the previous events, Di Lin's smile quickly collapsed. After thanking Pan, he closed the door, looked at Suo Suo seriously, and asked, "How do you move?"

Suo Suo didn't expect him to change the topic so quickly, and he didn't get back to his senses for a while.

"Aren't you talking about moving?" Dilling was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead.

Suo Suo thought for a while and said, "It's just hugging together..."

The blood on Dilling's face faded.

"It started to move before I knew it." Suo Suo didn't know how to explain, and made circles with both hands desperately.

Di Lin was confused, and finally asked simply: "Did he ... cheat on you?"

Suo Suo was at a loss, apparently not comprehending the meaning of the two words misbehavior.

"That's right..." Di Lin couldn't speak, but he had to ask, so he could only ask step by step, "Did he take off your clothes?"

Sosuo shook his head and said, "No. Why did you take off my clothes?"

Dilling breathed a sigh of relief, "Then it didn't do anything strange to you?"

"His sleeping pattern is not very good. Sometimes when we wake up, we will find it at the foot of the bed. Is this a strange thing?" Suo Suo asked.

Dilling imagined a picture of Xi Luo who didn't think well, and felt that his imagination was incompetent, "It can only be regarded as...a strange person. I mean him."

Sosuo lowered his head, "But he treats me very well."

"I believe." Although Ciro used Soso as a bargaining chip to force them to sign an alliance treaty, he did not treat Soso badly after all.

Suo Suo felt better, and his eyes fell on the letter in his hand, "What did uncle say?"

Dilling said, "It's not my father, it's Hydein."

"Ah. Did he snatch the sword back?" Suo Suo asked.

Di Lin opened the letter and read it for a while, with a smile that couldn't be hidden in his eyes, "No."

Soso was surprised.In his mind, although Hydein was not omnipotent, he was almost capable. He never thought that someone could let him go home empty-handed.

Dilling said: "His letter said that the person disappeared suddenly, maybe he touched some secret space teleportation array. He is researching it."

Suo Suo said: "Research? Where to study?"

"Santu."

Sosuo opened his eyes wide and said, "Then we will meet soon."

Di Lin responded with a low voice and put the letter away.

The carriage was driving between the Banding Empire and the Santu Pass. The surrounding area was desolate, with dozens of peaks rising and falling on both sides.The light and shadow on the window are interlaced, reflecting the scene inside the car from time to time.

Indistinctly, the corners of Di Lin's mouth twitched slightly.

In the sound of rolling wheels, the Santu checkpoint can be seen faintly.

A knight riding a horse rushed out from behind very quickly, and brushed past the window next to Soso's face, making him startled.

Di Lin patted him on the back comfortingly, and frowned slightly.

Before arriving at Santu, all changes are possible.The last thing he wants to encounter right now is change.

But the change didn't happen.

The caravan still followed the original route, and the knight just disappeared into the huge caravan like a stone sinking into the ocean without a sound.

At night, the caravan set up tents outside the small town of Santu.They have a large number of people and more goods, so it is inconvenient to live in the town.

After Suo Suo and Di Lin finished their dinner, they saw Ivan and Pan hurried into a tent.

The moment the curtain of the tent was raised, Soso saw a knight sitting inside, and his clothes seemed to be the knight who rushed past the window this afternoon.He told Dilling, and Dilling smiled and said, "Maybe it's about the empire."

Suo Suo worried: "Could something happen to Ciro?"

Seeing his nervous expression, Di Lin comforted him, "Don't worry. He is the crown prince of the empire, and there are many people protecting him. He will be fine."

"But his situation seems to be very dangerous." Soso thought of the necromancer named Montella, feeling uneasy.

Dilling gently rubbed his hair, and sighed, "If something happens to him, we won't be able to help him." He had heard about the factional struggles among the royal families of the Banding Empire for a long time, but this There is no room for outsiders to intervene in this kind of thing, let alone he is from Shamanlier.

Suo Suo went back to the tent sullenly.

Dilling sat outside for a while until Ivan and Pan came out.

Feeling his gaze, Ivan looked this way.

Their eyes met, and Di Lin was generous.

Ivan hesitated, and walked towards him, "We can only send you to the next city. There is a teleportation magic circle there, and you can go wherever you want."

"Did something happen?" Dilling asked hesitantly.

Ivan's expression changed.

Although their relationship has been friendly and harmonious since they met, this superficial friendliness and harmony cannot conceal the fact that the two are from the two old enemy countries of the Dream Continent.Dilling obviously overstepped the question.

Dilling said frankly: "I'm sorry for asking such an impolite question, it's really because Soso is worried about Ciro's safety."

Ivan was startled, and his eyes couldn't help looking at the tent where Soso was.In fact, between Dilling and Soso, he liked Soso better.This is not because Suo Suo was once a student of the Royal Academy of Magic of the Banding Empire, but because of his simplicity of thought, which is more sincere than Dilling's sophistication.Of course, he didn't dislike Dilling.Di Lin is gentle and courteous, well-founded in his advances and retreats, successful in his achievements, neither arrogant nor impetuous, he is the greatest example for the children of the aristocratic family.It's just that it's easier for Soso to get along with a hostile country.

"Your Highness has indeed encountered some troubles," he said.

Di Lin was slightly taken aback. He didn't know if it was for the news itself, or if Ivan was willing to tell him.

"He disappeared, in a small forest with a vertical and horizontal height of no more than 5000 meters." Ivan said.

Dilling frowned, "Missing alone?"

Ivan said: "No, everyone. Including the mages and knights who protected us along the way." He looked at Dilling's expression as he spoke, as if he wanted to see some clues from his face.

Dilling said: "Are you sure you disappeared in the grove?"

"Yes. There are two groups of people protecting His Highness, long distance and short distance. The short distance disappeared, and the long distance saw them go in with their own eyes, and never came out again. There is no one in the forest."

Dilling remembered the master Abner who specialized in magic circles he had met.He whispered: "Space magic."
