Emperor Fire

Ding.

There was the crisp sound of fencing, followed by screams.

Suo Suo was taken aback for a moment, the sound of fighting had gradually spread in the quiet night.

A few clusters of flames flickered at the end.

He stood there, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of seeing Di Lin, and continued to move forward little by little at the original pace.

The farther forward, the louder the shout of killing.

He leaned against the corner of the wall and poked his head out quietly.

The bloody killing scene gave him a chill from the bottom of his heart.

This is a real fight, different from the previous contest between Senrisgard and Saint Sauvre Academy of Glory, and also different from the internal battle of the Charlotte Mercenary Group when they fled. This is a contest of life and death!

Suo Suo turned his head back, his heart pounding.

Who is it?Could it be the robber in Hayden's mouth?still……

He suddenly remembered that during the meal just now, Hayden seemed to have received a call from Samariel, and the time for the appointment seemed to be tonight.

Could it be Shamanliel's soldiers?

Suo Suo's heart beat faster and faster, almost jumping out of his chest.He exposed his head again, staring straight at the assassins in black night clothes, trying to find information that might prove their identity in the blood all over the floor.

"Go in and find someone!" The only one among the assassins wearing a green scarf waved his arm suddenly.

The other assassins rushed in immediately.There are not many of them, but their strength is obviously much stronger than the soldiers of the Banding Empire left behind.

"Look for it, look for death!" Han Sen, who had been interrogated for two or three hours without any results, rushed out angrily, and the sword in his hand rushed into the group of assassins like a flying shuttle.

His joining greatly relieved the pressure on the imperial soldiers.They began to be able to organize formations effectively.The assassin's pressure doubled.

The assassin in the green scarf suddenly shouted: "Hand over the prince!"

Suo Suo threw himself forward subconsciously, and fell to the edge of the battlefield in a kneeling position.

Under normal circumstances, his kneeling on the chaotic battlefield is really not conspicuous.But at this moment, the green scarf assassin was looking around with his eyes wide open, just in time to catch his movements in his eyes, and immediately shouted: "Is it His Royal Highness?"

Sosuo stood up excitedly, "I..."

Before the word "yes" came out, it was tightly covered by a warm and slender hand.

A chill ran down Suo Suo's spine.

"Calm down." A deliberately lowered male voice sounded in his ears.

Suo Suo could not help moving his lips when he smelled a familiar breath.

"Don't talk." She tightened her fingers covering her mouth.

Soso had no choice but to stay still.

Ahead, the green scarf assassin kept moving towards this side while fighting Hansen.

"I am a servant of the Duke!" the green scarf assassin said again.

Sosuo raised his hand and grabbed the arm covering his mouth, as if trying to break him off.

"He's lying to you." The owner of the hand said flatly.

The green scarf assassin said: "Shamanlier and the Banding Empire are feuds! Don't trust them..."

The owner of the hand said again: "He was not sent by Andre."

The green scarf assassin seemed to have noticed the person standing behind Suo Suo at this time. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could feel the strong presence emanating from him.The assassin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help but slowed down by half a beat. Hansen took the opportunity to speed up his attack and forced the green scarf assassin who was slightly in the upper hand to retreat several steps.But the assassin quickly came back to his senses, and shouted resolutely: "Your Highness, the Duke misses you very much!"

Suo Suo suddenly exerted force, trying to break the hand apart.

The owner of the hand frowned, but let go of it anyway, and said coldly: "Do you really want to go with him?"

"No, I just want to catch my breath. My chest was tight just now." Suo Suo really took a big breath.

The owner of the hand was surprised, "You are not..."

"Come to me!" The green scarf assassin finally regained the upper hand, waving at Soso sneakily.

Soso shook his head.

The green scarf assassin said anxiously: "I am really sent by the Duke!"

"I don't believe you." Suo Suo said.

The green scarf assassin was so angry that he almost dug out his loyalty, "I'm really here to save you!"

"Are you really not going with him?" The voice of the owner of the hand was filled with almost inaudible joy.

"I don't know him." Soso took a step forward, then turned around, "But I know you, Ciro, you won't lie to me."

Ciro stood in the shadows, his face was thinner and sharper than the last time we met, as if exuding condescending arrogance all the time.He looked at Sosuo, seemingly indifferent to his trust, and said lightly, "Come with me."

Soso looked at the green scarf assassin hesitantly.

At this time, more and more soldiers of the Banding Empire came from other places. The assassins were completely surrounded in the center, and could only fight trapped beasts. The green scarf assassins had no time to speak.

Ciro stopped suddenly. Although he didn't look back, Soso still felt his displeasure.

"Here we come." He lowered his head and followed with small steps.

Ciro took him back to the dark room with a door half as wide as a normal door.

Sosuo stood awkwardly by the door, watching him take off his dark coat and sit leisurely on the only chair in the room.It was obviously the same person, but he couldn't find any familiar feeling.It was as if the Ciro who had saved him and suffered with him was just a shadow in his memory.Although the person in front of him has the same face and the same arrogance, he can't find the gentleness that was revealed inadvertently.

"What are your plans?" Shiro asked straightforwardly.

Suo Suo said, "I want to find Di Lin."

Shiro narrowed his eyes.

Sosuo took half a step back, leaning against the door, and whispered, "I want to go back to St. Padres College to continue my studies."

"I will send you to the Royal Academy of Magic in Van Riel City to continue your studies." Before Shiro could think deeply, his mouth had automatically given the answer.

Suo Suo was stunned, "The Royal Academy of Magic?"

Ciro didn't have time to explore his mood, nodded and said: "Although it is not as good as St. Padres, it is much better than other magic schools. Anyway, you can't use magic, so learn the theoretical knowledge of magic, even if you want to learn magic after graduation. You can also stay at the Royal Academy of Magic."

Suo Suo said blankly: "Stay in the Royal Academy of Magic after graduation?"

Ciro said: "As for Dilling..."

Suo Suo's mental state immediately returned to normal, and a pair of big eyes looked at him expectantly.

"You can write a letter to him, and let him handle the transfer procedures for you by the way." Xi Luo said slowly.

Suo Suo said: "But, I don't want to transfer schools." He knew that even if Dilling graduated from St. Padres, he would stay in the school and continue to work as a teaching assistant, so as long as he stayed in St. Padres, he could be with Dilling. together.

Ciro said: "You can start thinking now."

"Why?" Suo Suo was so anxious that he was sweating.

"Because..." Xi Luo paused, "You are a hostage."

Suo Suo returned to the guest room in a daze.Xi Luo's words kept wandering in his head, making him unable to recover.

Leaving St. Padres?

Join the Royal Academy of Magic of the Banten Empire... as a hostage?

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out why.But Ciro's willingness to let him write at least gave him a glimmer of hope that maybe Dilling could solve his predicament.Now, Dilling is not only his only hope, but also his only support.After experiencing so many things, only by thinking of Dilling can he calm down and be full of longing and hope for the future again.

Back to Dilling's side...

He took out the blanket and pillow again and spread it on the floor.

The night outside the window gradually faded, and the sky was bright.

But Soso fell asleep quickly this time.

It's a dream—

He was still at St. Padres Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, sharing a room with Dilling and sleeping on the same bed.They will go to the cafeteria together, and then go back to the dormitory together.There were also Raymond, Kevin... and Hydein in the dream.

When Suo Suo woke up, the sky outside the window was still gray, as if he had only slept for 10 minutes.He got up slowly, rubbed his eyes, then got up and packed his things, put them into the space bag, smoothed the wrinkled bed from yesterday, and then went out.

There was a lot of noise outside the door, it didn't seem like early morning.

A soldier was guarding outside his door. When he saw him coming out, he saluted and said, "Your Highness, please join me for dinner."

Soso shook his head.

The soldier said blankly, "This is an order from the marshal."

Sosuo covered his mouth helplessly, and whispered, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet."
