In the early morning, the gate of the Bitaido embassy was knocked on the door hastily.

"Call the doctors over here, and get all the best doctors over here immediately." General Noura took the lead and grabbed the head of the embassy.

"God, gods, what's wrong with His Royal Highness." He tremblingly pointed at the pale and unconscious Izmi, "Didn't Your Highness be fine before?"

Nula yelled: "Don't talk nonsense, get the doctor first."

General Noura directed the crowd to carefully put Izmi on the bed. He lifted the clothes on Izmi's shoulders, and the hideous wound was still gushing blood.What magic did the Daughter of the Nile use?He clenched his fists bitterly.Before the prince went chasing the Daughter of the Nile, no one saw what was going on, but remembered that there was a loud noise and His Highness suddenly injured his shoulder and fell off the horse.If something happened to His Highness Izmi, Bitaiduo would be over, and Nullah didn't dare to think about it.

Even if the best doctors in Babylon were gathered, none of them could tell what caused the strangely shaped wound on the shoulder of His Royal Highness. No one dared to speak for sure. General Nullah was furious. Eyes, almost pulled out the knife and put it on the necks of these quack doctors.In the end, a doctor boldly suggested that the best hemostatic medicine should be used to stop the bleeding first. As long as the wound healed and stopped bleeding, the prince would be fine.

The wound was sprinkled with medicinal powder, wrapped tightly with clean white cloth layer by layer, and the blood around the wound was wiped clean. Izmi's blood seemed to be stopped, and his expression relaxed slightly.

"Your Highness, can you hear me?" General Nullah called out to Izmi's ear.

Izmi opened his eyelids, and only had time to utter two words, "Nura—" before falling asleep again.

Izmi slept for three days, during which time he had a high fever, and everyone in Bitaido was so anxious that they almost went crazy, and all the doctors were locked in the embassy to cook medicine.

Izmi finally woke up on the third day, but Nula and the others were not happy, because they were horrified to find that although the best wound medicine was used, the prince's wound showed no sign of healing at all, and had been slowly recovering. Blood oozes out.

"Your Highness, your wound hasn't healed yet, so you can't move around." Seeing Izmi propping up the bed with his uninjured side, General Nullah seemed to want to sit up.

"It's okay, it's all right." Izmi didn't stop, covering the wound with one hand, he slowly sat up and leaned against the wall, panting for breath.

He didn't speak, and leaned there with his eyes closed, without the slightest wave on his bloodless face.

"Your Highness, do you still remember how you were injured?" Nula asked cautiously, "The wound on your shoulder has a strange shape."

Seeing that Izmi ignored him, Noura was anxious, and asked again, "Is it related to the daughter of the Nile River? What's the matter with that strange noise?"

Izumi remained silent.

Suddenly, he said calmly, "Go and call Kim."

Nula was surprised that what His Highness needs now is to rest. He opened his mouth to object but saw Izmi's resolute expression and swallowed it back.

"Your Highness, you summoned me." Kim entered the room, saluted respectfully, and lowered his head to wait for Izmi's order.

Izmi looked at Kim's gloomy eyes for a long time, and finally he said slowly, "Is Shida dead?"

Kim was startled and did not dare to look up at Prince Izmi, he said calmly, "Yes, Your Highness, he happened to be at the place where the Tower of Babel fell on the day of the fire, and was unfortunately taken away by the god of death."

"Really, is he dead?" Izumi murmured to himself as his body slumped weakly.

Nula looked at Prince Izmi in horror, so it was so, so it was so, the prince turned to Xida—he felt as if he had touched some unbelievable taboo, and stepped aside silently.

No one made a sound in the room, and the dead silence filled the air. For a moment, Izmi raised his head. His expressionless face seemed to be carefully carved by the most dexterous craftsman with a knife. His straight nose and forehead cast shadows. Although even the silver hair seemed to have lost all life together with the pale face, it was still so noble and inviolable.

His voice was flat, "Where is Xida's body?"

"Put it in the backyard and prepare for burial tomorrow."

"Take me there." Izmi threw off the blanket on her body, and couldn't help groaning twice when she got off the bed.

"Your Highness, you can't." Kim looked at Izmi and said hastily, "Your body hasn't healed yet, and Xida's corpse is beyond recognition, so I can't defile you."

"I order you to take me there now." Izumi walked up to Kim slowly and looked down at him, "immediately."

Kim bent down deeply, and said in a low voice, "I obey, Your Highness."

The backyard was a small place with several separate small rooms. Izmi held his wound tightly with one hand, and watched Kim's movement of opening the door without turning his eyes.

"Your Highness, it's okay to wait until another day, just postpone the burial, you can rest now," Noura couldn't help saying when she saw the white cloth on Izmi's wound was red with blood.

Still staring at the door, Izumi shook his head indifferently.

Suddenly he noticed a head protruding from the corner of the wall, and it was a little boy who was peeping sneakily inside.

"Who are you, what are you peeking at here?" Noura shouted.

"I'm here to deliver a letter, and I haven't found anyone ahead." The little boy said, not afraid.

"To whom?" asked Noura.

"To a man named Kim, I was asked to deliver a letter."

Hearing these words, Kim was startled, turned around and said to the little boy, "I'm busy now, I'll send it over later."

After speaking, he looked at Izmi nervously, "Your Highness——"

"It's okay." Izmi didn't pay any attention to it, and entered the small room on his own, with Noura following closely.

The room was very simple and without any furnishings. There was a figure lying on the ground in the middle, covered with coarse cloth. The small space was dark and closed, filled with an unpleasant smell.

Izmi stood motionless in front of the door, quietly staring at the lifeless shadow on the ground. For the first time in his life, he tasted fear, as if he would be bitten by a terrifying beast if he took a step forward. devour.

"Your Highness, let's go back." Noura sighed silently and persuaded.

Unexpectedly, Izmi suddenly started to move, striding towards the middle, Noura tried to dissuade him anxiously, "Your Highness—" Izmi remained unmoved, knelt down, reached out and grabbed the coarse cloth covering the corpse, and violently lifted it. ——

A mottled and distorted corpse appeared impressively, many places were charred and blackened, and some places were rotting flesh-colored.

General Nullah thought that he was used to seeing stumped limbs and arms on the battlefield, but at first sight of such unrecognizable corpses that were burned to the ground, he still felt a little sick to his stomach. He looked at Izmi worriedly, but found that Izmi seemed to be Unconsciously, staring intently at the corpse seemed to be able to find something unusual from it.

Izumi's eyes scanned up and down, not letting go of any corner.

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly and turned around, like a leopard that just found its prey, tightly locked Kim who was standing at the door, and said in a deep voice, "Kim, you have always been my loyal subordinate, I will give you the last Chance, is this Shida's body?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Kim lowered his head and said calmly.

"Oh, then tell me how you identified the body as Shida after it was burnt like this." Izumi said with a blank expression.

"Your Highness, Xida went to that place that day and never came back. His stature is even smaller than a woman's and is easily recognizable, and." Kim paused, adding, "His hand has a gift from you." A bracelet made of iron, it is impossible for ordinary people to have jewelry made of iron.”

Hearing this, Nula looked down and saw that there was indeed a burnt and deformed iron bracelet on the left hand of the corpse, and the words on it could be vaguely read.

"That's right, I did give Xida a bracelet made of black iron. I personally ordered it to go down, and I can't find another one." Izmi's tone was a little strange, "But Kim you you Do you know Xida, he never wears this bracelet on his hand, because he dislikes it for being too ostentatious and only hangs it on his chest."

"Did he miss me so much during this time, so he changed his habit?" He said coldly.

Joy was only for a moment, followed by uncontrollable anger. Izmi felt a faint clamoring answer in his heart. He left the room and walked so fast that even the wound on his shoulder seemed to be numb.

Kim knelt down silently, as if turned into a stone,

"Very well, Kim, answer me, is Shida really dead?" Izmi sat on the head and looked at him.

"Yes."

"Then do you dare to swear to me in the name of the Sun Goddess that Xida is really dead and lying in the backyard without any concealment?" Izmi was furious, "Do you dare to swear that you have not betrayed me and abided by your principles?" Are you loyal?"

Kim seemed to have been sucked out of his whole body. He lay down on the ground and whispered, "Your Highness, please calm down."

Izmi looked at him for a moment, "Tell me, where is Xida and why did you lie to me."

After a while, there was still no response from below.

"Very good, very good, commendable friendship." Izmi sneered, "Nura, send someone to find out the little boy who just came to deliver the letter and bring it to me. I want to see him before sunset, and that letter."

Kim froze and trembled slightly.

Looking at the bottom with cold eyes, Izmi felt that there seemed to be a big discovery waiting for him, and his heart became strangely calm. Since Xida was still alive, many things were different, and he didn't mind taking it slow.

Cedar, better not be what I think, you better be innocent.
