Chapter 697: precarious

   Chapter 697 Precarious
   "This morning, the body of the guard Caquere was found in the alley next to the guard hall in the Canal District. The head and body were left on..."
   In the Kongming Palace, the messenger Toledo led the Star Lake Guards, who were on full alert, and reported to the gloomy Thales:
   "Well, in short, the scene is not very good."
When    received bad news, Thales was preparing for the election.
  According to the itinerary, Caquere Guards will guide the prince to the venue, but Thales did not wait for Caquere, but waited for the team of Star Lake Guards:
Under the leadership of the "ghost" Hugo Forby and the Toledo heralds, Conmutto, Nechy, D.D, Glover, Miranda, Wyah, Paul, Rolfe...dozens of people ( A lot of them were even wounded and painted.) Fully armed and murderous, they rushed into his lounge, occupying every corner, guarding every passage, locking every window, and killing the confused second prince. The front and rear are surrounded by airtight.
This scene surprised Morgan, Kusta and others who were accompanying the prince on shift. They almost thought that the prince, who had been sulking for a whole morning with a cold face, could not hold back the anger of the bright star, and decided to fight back violently, vowing to break through the Kongming Palace, bloodshed Splashing at the Duke's Mansion, it is the original source of iris, and the emerald city is bright.
"These days, Caquere surrounds us regardless of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and communicates with the guards. Everyone is annoying to deal with every day, and he can't get rid of it if he wants to." Thales looked ugly, but he kept walking, even getting more and more The quicker, "As a result, he disappeared for a whole night and a morning, so many of us were happy and leisurely, and none of us found something wrong?"
   The whole team of guarding the prince moved forward in a hurry, and everyone didn't dare to breathe out a breath. All they could hear was the rubbing of their clothes and armor, and the sound of footsteps rumbled.
   is like a clockwork golem crafted by dwarves.
  In an instant, Thales even had an illusion: he was not in an empty palace.
   is the Fuxing Palace thousands of miles away.
  Toledo took a deep breath, took two steps, and pursed his lips:
   "Your Highness, this is indeed our negligence, and I am fully responsible for this, and I am willing to be punished..."
  Damn, why is he like this?
   I clearly have no threats, no intimidation, no orders, or even a malicious voice...
   Thales was very upset:
   "Okay, I'm not blaming you..."
   I just asked a question and wanted an answer.
   That's all.
   But why is he so afraid of this, so he can't wait to admit all his faults and apologize?
   Thales exhaled, feeling depressed.
   If only Mallos were here.
  No, no—he shook his head in denial—if Mallos was here, he would probably have responded with the most polite but also the most poignant rhetoric, leaving him speechless and more sullen than now.
   But he wasn't there.
  Thinking of this, Thales felt tight.
   That self-righteous terrifying blade was carelessly attacked in the action of besieging Lausanne II. As a result, his subordinates returned safely, and he was seriously injured and bedridden.
he is not here.
   His most damnable captain of the personal guard said that "honor revenge" should not be interfered with, and asked the prince to leave first, and the result...
   "Is Mallos still awake?"
"Sir, the fever has subsided, Your Highness," the logistics officer of Italiano replied respectfully and meticulously, "but maybe it is the after-effect of the killer ability, his spirit is very poor, he wakes up and faints, and recovers slightly slower than others. Some……"
   "He'll be fine," Hugo's flag-bearer interrupted him, no doubt, "it's just a matter of time."
time.
   Thales frowned.
  The election will be coming soon, they are the most short of time now.
   "So, what's the situation in Emerald City now?" He forced himself to calm down.
Toledo took a deep breath: "The vigilante was killed in his own field. It is conceivable that the whole city was in a frenzy. The vigilante halls in several large areas were fully dispatched to search for clues, and even the Emerald Legion entered the city in large numbers. , causing panic and rumors all over the sky.

   "When the wine merchant and wool merchant died, I never saw them so enthusiastic." Glover on the other side snorted coldly.
   "It's my own people who died, of course it's different." Conmutuo answered with experience.
   "Huh, human life also has value." Paul sarcastically.
   "Six," Wyah, who was next to Thales, had a heavy expression, "Sixth life."
   Damn.
  Wiya's words made Thales irritated.
   And this time - Thales couldn't help but glance over his head - I'm afraid even someone can't hold back the news.
   So, what will he do?
  A group of servants were cleaning and sweeping in the corridor. When they saw the prince and his group passing by, some of them whispered something. The servants immediately showed fear, and hurriedly left their work and walked away.
   The scene in front of him made Thales frown.
   "Then why did you get involved with His Highness? He also said that His Highness was the murderer?" D.D looked at the group of retreating servants and couldn't help but speak out.
   Behind him, Conmutuo watched his words and coughed: "According to the news I inquired from my friends, Caquere informed his family yesterday evening that he would not go home at night, and would stay at the police station and work overtime to handle urgent matters..."
   "Urgent?"
  Wiya couldn't help but ask:
   "What overtime? What is the urgency? Does anyone check it out..."
   He figured out something in the middle of his words, and his voice immediately dropped.
"We," the Hugo flag-bearer who was walking in the front took the words with a sullen face, "his priority is us, to be precise, the chaos after the nobles disappeared in the theater yesterday afternoon, including the delay and delay of our guards. The cover-up, and the search and search that follows, and perhaps a follow-up finish."
The people around    fell silent immediately.
   "You mean, me," said the prince, expressionless, "yesterday, Miss Kevin Deere and I ran away from the group?"
   Including the flag officer, no one answered.
   obviously doesn't need to be answered either.
   Thales exhaled unhappily.
   "Anyway, the police department didn't wait for him, and thought that Caquere went home for the night on his own," Toledo cautiously, "until the next day..."
   "So, he was killed while working overtime on the prince's affairs, so we got involved." Miranda mused.
"Indeed, the news first came out from the vigilantes who knew the inside story, and it sinks into the public. The more it spreads, the more absurd it becomes," Kong Mutuo hesitated. Ray finally couldn't bear to report it to the duke, so the prince was so embarrassed that he wanted to kill him..."
   "What?" Wyah couldn't believe it.
   Thales also frowned.
  It is right to visit in micro-service, but...
   He just shoved and argued with the gangsters, and at most set off a few bunches of big fireworks on the Beimen Bridge. Is this also considered "runaway and domineering"?
"Of course, these are all rumors from the people, but there are also better versions," Conmutuo hurried to smooth things out. "For example, someone who actually wanted to assassinate the prince made a fuss and ran into the card responsible for protecting him. Querrey, the latter was strong and unyielding, and sacrificed heroically."
   Thales frowned and looked at the Star Lake guards around him. They were in an orderly queue and were heavily guarded. It seemed that an assassin would come out of a vase at any time.
   Is this version better?
   "There is also news that the prince was dissatisfied with Duke Jenn, so he dismissed the bodyguards and tour guides the Duke gave him, killing chickens as an example to demonstrate strictness."
   Thales' expression got worse, and he stared at Conmutuo's smile.
   "Where did all the rumors come from, and they are still honest and well-founded?" D.D was taken aback for a while.
"It's not long since the case was published, and there are rumors of this level, it's hard to say that no one is behind the scenes," Miranda doubted, "But as far as I know, the blood bottle gang is the best at doing this work in the city, right? But they've..."
   She glanced at Glover and Rolfe.
   "Some people don't like us and don't want us to stay in the Emerald City." Glover snorted coldly.
   "But why," Wyja said, "who did it? Why frame your Highness?"
   Thales got nervous.
   He might know who did it.
but……
   "It doesn't matter," Thales settled and ended the discussion, "At least this time, they didn't say I killed a king or a duke - I hope not."
   Everyone froze in unison.
  The second prince, surrounded by the guards, went down to the next floor. Their troop was strong and imposing, which made the viewers shy away, and those who saw them retreated.
   The Duke of Xinghu did not speak any more, and the entire guard was silent again, leaving only the disturbing sound of rushing.
   is here again, that feeling.
   Thales felt the depression of the people around him, and looked back at the hall pillars of the Kongming Palace.
   The kind of suffocation in the Fuxing Palace, as if locked by endless chains, at a loss, unable to breathe.
   And he could only hold the nerve pocket in his hand and clench the bone ring Gortaksa to relieve the suffocation.
   At this moment, he vaguely heard a sound coming from behind him, but he couldn't hear it clearly until Thales frowned and entered the senses of hell.
   "I'll just say..."
In the team behind   , D.D's airy voice sounded like a mosquito: "There's something wrong with the little brat."
   Thales' eyelids jumped.
  What little brat? Which little brat?
   "Be quiet," Wyya responded in a whisper, cautiously, "It's dead again, His Highness must be in a bad mood."
   "He doesn't know, when he keeps his face cold and doesn't say a word, the atmosphere is terrible. You see, everyone is so frightened that they don't even dare to breathe..."
   Hearing this, Thales frowned.
What?
   "It's not just about Cacquere," Glover's voice cut in. "The defender went mad in front of His Highness, and he's not feeling well."
   Several people were silent for a while.
   "But that's not his fault," D.D whispered in the queue, "I mean, it's not that the little brat found someone to scare him crazy..."
  Find someone to scare him crazy...
   Thales' breathing stagnated.
   "And the Terrorblade."
  Miranda joins the coterie of their secret conversation from the other side:
   "Marios was brought back last night with a high fever that persisted. His Highness was also silent throughout the whole process, with no expression on his face, but it scared everyone so much that they dared not speak..."
   "I'll just say..."
   "You guys are really quiet, the mute said that His Royal Highness has very smart ears..." Wyah persuaded with a bitter face.
   "Relax, such a long distance..."
   Thales sighed.
Emerald City, Zhan En, Fuxing Palace, King, Black Masked Killer, Blood Bottle Gang, Six Murder Cases... He is trapped in a complicated and confusing situation. He faces an irreversible situation. To a frustrating setback, he had enough to do.
   And D.D, how could he be so happy, and still arrange the master's gossip?
   Is it because he knows that he is usually too good to even tear his little puppet bear?
"His Royal Highness saw Mallos' appearance yesterday, and his expression was terrifying," Miranda said in a low voice, "No one could persuade him, and no one dared to persuade him. In the end, it was the Forbey flag officer who said a few words in his ear. In other words, he was willing to rest."
   "No wonder he was in a bad mood. He went to quarrel with his fiancée and his future brother-in-law early in the morning. Of course, after the quarrel, he was in a worse mood." D.D was stunned.
   "More than that," Wyah stared at Thales' back, absentmindedly said, "His Royal Highness slept on the ground again yesterday."
   Thales' eyes changed.
   "Who is he sleeping on?"
   "Oh," Wiya reacted and quickly changed his tune, "I mean, Your Highness didn't sleep well yesterday."
   "Cut, it scared me to death. I thought the little brat finally got enlightened and sensible. By the way, has the relationship between him and Miss Shiley changed? When they came back yesterday..."
   Hearing this, Thales finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and scolded:
   "Are you finished?"
   Duke Xinghu's voice echoed in the empty palace corridor, arousing echoes.
   Everyone was taken aback, and the Star Lake Guards couldn't help but stop.
   Thales was short of breath, staring at the queue in front of him.
very good.
  D.D stopped talking too much, he looked straight ahead with a serious face, and Wyah was no longer distracted, but looked seriously waiting for orders.
From the old subordinates Wyya and Rolfe, to D.D and Glover in the Star Lake Guard, to the new Miranda and Paul who joined the team... No more chatting, no more gossip, no more self-righteousness Small actions.
   And he looked everywhere, and the guards all bowed their heads, not daring to look directly.
   In the next second, Toledo cautiously stepped forward.
   "Your Highness, what are your orders? Say, what are you talking about?"
  Wait, he's… scared?
[When the dignified grand duke stood in front of you with majesty, you knew what you were feeling... Ha, he blinked his eyelids, your heart was about to collapse, he grinned, and your legs trembled... ...hey, who's to say, who's to say this isn't the sincerity? 】
   Thales looked at each other's appearance, and then looked at the expressions of others, suddenly feeling dull.
   Of course, Herald Toledo was afraidthe voice in his heart told him.
   Don’t forget that your words and deeds will have unpredictable effects.
  The one above is cold-faced, and the one below is like walking on thin ice.
   This is the wall of power.
   Thales was silent and did not speak.
   This made the Star Lake Guard even more nervous.
   Seeing that Thales didn't say a word, Toledo understood something, he took a deep breath:
   "I'm very sorry, Your Highness, Chief Majors is not here, it's my lax control..."
   "Who was whispering just now?"
  Hugo flag officer interrupted him directly and turned to the team with a playful expression:
   "Although it doesn't sound real, but stand up for yourself? Don't suffer a little?"
   In that second, everyone in the Star Lake Guard changed color.
   D.D in the front row flickered with a little panic, while Wyya was surprised.
  Miranda frowned, Glover still stiffened.
   But Thales didn't speak.
   He just watched them silently, noticing the look of each one.
   But maybe, maybe fear is a good thing?
   This will force them to wind up.
   Maybe he was too weak before, maybe Mallos was too arrogant, maybe this is the normal way of getting along between them.
  Because you know that one day, they will face a more cruel test - the voice in my heart added in a small voice.
is that so?
  Tiel looked at them silently, and suddenly had an illusion:
  This is not the Kongming Palace, but the Ballard Room. Everyone trembled and paid attention to the man sitting on the main seat in the dark shadow.
   Thales looked into the distance, only to feel that the feeling of suffocation became more and more real.
   is second only to the bone ring in his pocket.
   After a few seconds, he sighed deeply.
   "Wya."
  Wiya's expression changed, but he finally stood up in the sympathetic eyes of others, resigned to death:
   "My fault, Your Highness, I just talked too much-"
   "My sword, are you still carrying it?" Thales interrupted him directly.
  Huiya was stunned for a second before he reacted. He hurriedly took off the sword belt behind his back and respectfully gave a sword to Thales.
   Thales took the warning without a word and drew a blade.
  The precious ancient imperial sword is still bright, and the black gem on the hilt is more mysterious and solemn.
   It's just that the "F" under the hilt is still dazzling and out of place.
"Everyone, I don't want to lie to you, and I don't want to cover up my concerns," Thales pushed the blade back into the scabbard, but didn't return it to Wya, "From now on, the situation in the Emerald City is in jeopardy. "
   "At risk?" Wyya's eyes widened.
   Thales nodded, he tried the weight of the sword, and estimated what type of armed suspenders he would wear if he normally wore it.
   "At this critical moment, I need you to be ready, especially when Captain Mallos is not around," he said solemnly, "Everything is ready."
The    guards made a little commotion, and everyone looked at each other in dismay.
  Toledo couldn't help but said: "But Your Highness, didn't we just deal with it yesterday...the killer?"
   "Because of this," Thales' expression remained unchanged, "We aggravated the situation and worsened the situation."
   even forced everyone to the corner and forced to the end.
   "What will we face?" In the whispers, Hugo's flag leader said coldly.
   Thales glanced at the "ghost" flag officer who seldom dealt with.
   But there is a reason why Mallos chose him and Toledo as his lieutenants?
   "Facing what? Kidnapping? Imprisonment? Assassination? To be honest, I don't know either."
   Every time Thales said a word, Toledo's face became ugly: "Including possible riots, mutinies, civil unrest, and even a palace coup?"
   His last sentence surprised everyone.
   "That, worse than when you... entered the palace?" Nexi, who was still wearing a bandage on his right hand, asked cautiously.
   Thales glanced at the young pioneer officer, who immediately lowered his head.
   "If so?"
   At that moment, the expressions of the guards were ugly.
   Thales looked around the crowd: Wyya was worried, Rolfe looked disdainful, D.D blinked desperately, Glover's expression remained the same, Miranda's eyes were cold, and Paul lowered his head and said nothing...
   As for Mallos, who is still on the sickbed...
   If he really got to that point, how many people here would follow him through fire and water?
   Are they really, ready?
  The atmosphere dropped to freezing point.
   A few seconds later, Thales burst out laughing.
"just kidding!"
   Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Thales' next sentence made them smile:
   "No matter what, breaking into the Ming Palace in the sky will not be more difficult than breaking through the Fuxing Palace, right?"
   At this moment, Morgan, who was exploring the road ahead, suddenly gave a loud warning:
   "Guards alert! We have company!"
   In the next second, everyone in the guards changed their expressions, and everyone instinctively stood up to protect Thales.
only……
   "What happened? What happened? Are we still in the Kongming Palace?" Thales, who was stopped behind by Kusta, asked anxiously.
   Could it be that he has a prophecy, there is really something worse than breaking into the palace?
   "Pioneer Wing's scouts and sentries have strict regulations, Your Highness," Hugo said coldly, staring at the corner leading to Zuyan in front of him, "They won't sound the alarm just because a cockroach pops up on the road."
   The voice fell, and there was a lot of tremors on the ground.
   Nervousness: This is...
The next second, behind the famous Ancestral Rock of Kongming Palace, one row, two rows, three rows... a whole group of murderous soldiers appeared in sight, walking towards Thales and his party, with rumbling footsteps and helmets covered. Armor.
   "Unless it's a swarm of cockroaches." Miranda looked sullen.
   "Not the palace guards, it, those green hats! The Emerald Legion!"
  D.D looked at the opponent's weapons and armor, stunned: "This battle... Didn't the vigilantes come to pick us up before?"
   Emerald Legion?
   Thales clenched the alerter in his hand with a deep expression.
  The soldiers of the Emerald Legion were getting closer and closer, and the Star Lake Guards folded their formation unconsciously, and everyone put their hands on their weapons.
   Finally, the Emerald Legion stopped a foot away from them, and a familiar figure appeared more and more.
   "Where is His Royal Highness Thales?"
   Thales exhaled, he patted the nervous people around him, and took a few steps forward:
   "Captain Seychelles, long time no see, what do you do?"
   The leader of the Emerald Legion, the Seychelles knight turned a blind eye to the formation of the Star Lake Guard. He took a step forward, his eyes were real, and everyone in the guard clenched their weapons subconsciously.
  Toledo and Hugo were at the forefront, but under the pressure of the knight in front of them, one of them was sweating profusely, and the other looked solemn.
   But Seychelles just glanced at them, didn't care, and looked back at Thales:
   "For well-known reasons, Your Highness, from now until the end of the Emerald Celebration, your security travel matters will be solely responsible for your security and travel, and will accompany you throughout the journey..."
  Seychelles deliberately paused, his eyes circled back and forth on the front of the Star Lake Guard full of wounded soldiers, and his words were contemptuous:
   "Come with you."
  Xinghu guards all changed their expressions when they heard the words, and many people looked unhappy.
   "Oops," Doyle in the queue faced a malicious emerald sergeant in front of him, and he didn't forget to turn his head to say, "Did you say that this guy is an extreme..."
   "Shut up, D.D!" Wiya gritted his teeth, but couldn't stop the trembling of his arms.
   "The Emerald Legion is responsible for my security?"
   Thales spoke before everyone's emotions erupted. He looked at this army that was formerly a mercenary, and thoughtfully:
   "Is this what Jenn meant?"
  Seychelles snorted softly.
   "The Duke has said that the election is one of the essences of the celebration. It aims to strengthen the military, and of course it must have a different style."
The knight of the    Legion narrowed his eyes:
   "And I'm sure he will welcome you warmly at the venue."
   Thales frowned and couldn't stop thinking.
Oops.
What does   Jane mean?
   "I appreciate Jen's kindness, but I'd better..."
   But obviously Seychelles learned the lesson from the last time. He waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to act, not intending to give Thales any chance:
   "Everyone, the prince, don't let His Highness be weak!"
  The Emerald Legion may not be as powerful as the royal family under Kingdom Fury who gave up their lives, but they are still forbidden, and they have to press them all at once, and they are about to invade the formation of the Star Lake Guards!
   Thales just subconsciously grasped the alerter when he heard Toledo roar: "Star Lake Guard! Star Array!"
  The Xinghu guards responded angrily and formed a formation in threes and twos, with their weapons half unsheathed, forcing the emerald sergeants in the first row to hesitate.
   "Don't bother, green hat, you are responsible for clearing the road outside." Hugo's flag officer turned to Seychelles and spoke under pressure with sharp eyes, "Other matters, the royal guards will handle it."
  This is the only way from the main palace to the outer court and Zuyan. Many servants and officers who passed by saw the confrontation between the two armies and the arguing with swords.
   was rejected, and Seychelles showed a malicious smile.
   "Who are you? Where was your last boss, the one named Mallos?"
  The knight showed his hilt intentionally or unintentionally:
   "My weapon misses him."
   "He's on holiday today." Miranda said coldly on the other side, rubbing the eagle in her hand.
  Seychelles didn't care: "Then I guess, sick leave?"
   The next second, he strode forward!
   The unscrupulous aura of the knight in the extreme realm shocked the guards of Star Lake and looked at Thales:
How to do?
   Want to fight?
   What should I do if I can't beat it?
   Just then, another voice broke the situation:
   "Tales, why did you come?"
   Everyone turned their heads in unison:
   At the other end of the corridor, Cecilia Kevin Deere, dressed in costume, accompanied by a group of servants, came with a burning gaze.
   Thales was stunned.
   The Star Lake guards beside him looked at each other, and D.D even showed a weird smile.
  The Seychelles knights are unbelievable:
   "Ms. Hilley?"
   "I ran into you, Seychelles," Shi Lai walked to Thales with unimaginable grace, and the soldiers and guards around him subconsciously stepped back, "What a boring day!"
   Xilai's eyes were deep, but the moment he looked at Thales, it brightened.
   But Thales looked at this ladylike Xi Lai, but couldn't help thinking of the weird and terrifying shadow behind her, and Slimani, who was played and tortured by it to the point of insanity.
Do not.
   He wasn't ready.
   "Ms. Kevin Deere..." Thales subconsciously avoided the other party's sight.
   Xilai's eyes stern.
   But before she could speak, the Seychelles knight snorted coldly:
   "You shouldn't be here, ma'am, the Duke has orders—"
   But Hilary ignored him, but with a perfect smile, he stretched out his hand to Thales freely, and the elaborately embroidered iris pattern on the gloves was vivid in his mind.
   "Let's go, my Highness," her tone was too gentle, which made Thales extremely uncomfortable, "The performance of the election will be very exciting, I don't want you to miss it."
  Seychelles was choked and looked unhappy.
   Thales was stunned. He looked at the murderous knight and the beautiful and gentle lady, and he couldn't tell who was more terrifying.
   Until Shi Lai opened his lips and smiled:
   "You're still haunted by what happened yesterday, right?"
   What happened yesterday?
what's up?
   As soon as these words came out, Glover, Rolfe, Miranda... all looked strange without exception.
   Only Wyah and D.D looked at each other, the former didn't know why, the latter smiled mysteriously.
   Thales changed slightly, he immediately penetrated the confusion of weapons, clothing and other foreign objects, and identified who was the top predator in Kongming Palace.
   "Knight of Seychelles, please your people for me," His Royal Highness smiled at Shi Lai, but instead walked towards Seychelles and gestured, "It's time for me to go to the venue."
  The attitude is submissive and the etiquette is decent.
   "Uh, of course, Your Highness, please..." This made Seychelles and his subordinates not quite used to it.
   But before he had time to sigh that today's task was easier than he imagined, he saw the eyebrows raised by Xilai next to him:
   "Oh, Your Highness, your ruthlessness really makes me sad. Is this revenge on me? You think we didn't do anything yesterday, is it my fault?"
   All right?
  Things?
   This time, including the Emerald Legion, the Star Lake Guard, and the servants behind Shi Lai, everyone looked at Thales in unison.
   The second prince's complexion changed again.
"Yesterday was... an accident," he glanced nervously at the people around him, trying to clear up the misunderstanding, even if the latter were confused (or surprised), "and there were so many people there yesterday, no one was there. To be blamed. Well, I have to go to an appointment..."
   I saw Xilai sneer:
   "Really, Your Highness? We are hand in hand, and what we have experienced is unforgettable, and you are really so heartless?"
   Unforgettable in a lifetime...
Oops.
   The suspicious eyes of everyone gave Thales a headache.
   "Uh, does your Highness need our help..." Wyya hesitated.
   "Don't be stupid," D.D grabbed him, in a mysterious tone, "Housework."
   But fortunately, at this awkward moment, the Seychelles knight next to him spoke:
   "Ma'am, I have an order from the Duke to protect the prince from going to the election venue. If you keep delaying and hindering me, it will be very difficult for me to do it."
   His tone was decisive, and his posture was indifferent.
   This made Thales feel that the knight was a lot more pleasing to the eye.
   "Really," Xile continued smiling, "It's hard to do? Then you resign?"
  Seychelles' expression froze.
   The next second, his face showed an angry look:
   "Ma'am, if you are self-willed, I have no choice."
   "Like?"
  Seychelles stared sharply, and strode towards Xilai!
   Thales was startled and subconsciously stood in front of Xilai: "Hey, let's talk..."
   Seeing the master's action, both the Star Lake Guard and the Emerald Legion moved subconsciously and squeezed towards the middle, trying to stop the other party, and the situation became chaotic again!
   But right now.
   "Stop." It was an unfamiliar voice that spread out in the crowd, but it made everyone subconsciously stop.
   The next second, a vicissitudes of life and a thin figure walked out of Xi Lai's servant team, obviously not in a hurry, but miraculously squeezed through everyone, and instantly stood in front of Seychelles, blocking his way.
   Everyone was stunned: the unexpected guest who suddenly appeared was a middle-aged man with a sword.
"You are……"
   Seychelles frowned and looked at this sloppy man who was out of tune with his surroundings.
   After a few seconds, surprise appeared in his eyes:
   "Cassien?"
   The sloppy man named Cassien had a sick look on his face. He smiled slightly, but performed a standard and regular knightly salute:
   "Seychelles."
ah? who?
   The Star Lake Guards were puzzled.
   "Who is this? It looks...a bit dirty." D.D narrowed his eyes
   "Indeed," Miranda looked solemnly at the new man, "but watch out: Seychelles' eyes are different, he's serious."
   "Strange," Glover gritted his teeth, "I can't feel the murderous intent in him, but..."
"I know who he is," Hugo's flag bearer said expressionlessly, "Be vigilant, this is a master of the extreme realm, a person from Iris, and he competed with Chief Staley when he was still in the capital, only slightly inferior. "
   Everyone froze in unison.
   In contrast, the sergeant of the Emerald Legion burst into a commotion after hearing Cassian's name, and many people looked at each other and whispered.
   The Seychelles hold down the hilt, terrified:
   "I thought you resigned, old friend, and stopped working for the Emerald City."
   "That's right, Seychelles knight," Cassien said with a tired look on his face. He looked at Hille and sighed, "but just like you, Iris is too kind."
  Seychelles and Cassien faced each other silently, one was well-equipped and majestic, while the other was sloppy, rough and tired.
   But for some reason, Thales faintly felt that they were evenly matched.
The Prince    cast a suspicious look at Xi Lai, but Miss Kevin Dill just snorted, ignoring the confrontation between the two, and took the Prince's arm:
"Let's go."
   Thales was startled, and under the eyes of countless people who were amazed at first and then taken aback, he struggled hard:
"and many more!"
   Thales took a deep breath, trying hard not to think about the soul bone Jacques behind Xi Lai, who can conjure up all kinds of expressions:
   "Look, maybe we shouldn't today..."
   But Shi Lai didn't move his smile, but he couldn't resist pulling Thales to him, and then to the latter's ear:
   "If you dare to look at me again, boy, my mother swears, no matter how many people are watching, I will definitely beat you out!"
   Such a threat made Thales tremble.
The prince    swallowed his throat, his eyelids twitched, and he had no choice but to turn back and whisper:
   "Sheila, well, I'll be honest, the current situation is quite complicated, and our best response is to act independently, lest both of us..."
  Xilee's eyes were sharp!
   "Tales Shining Star!"
   The next second, Miss Kevin Deere shoved Thales away!
   She raised her voice, first sternly, then heartbreakingly:
   "As heartless as you, have you really forgotten what I did for you yesterday!"
Maybe the atmosphere is too embarrassing, maybe it's because the acting is really superb, or maybe it's because the topic is too hot, for a while, whether it is the Star Lake Guard or the Emerald Legion, whether Cassien or Seychelles, in the Kongming Palace, the ancestors of all people under the rock. They were all attracted, and Qi Qi looked at the two most noble people in the field.
   Thales was surprised: "I—"
   "Do you remember? That's why you want to default?"
  Xilei Pear Blossoms with tears and heartache: "For you, I even drank that medicine for you!"
Huh?
   Including the servants who stretched their necks to watch in the distance, everyone looked at Shi Lai in shock and curiosity:
  What medicine?
   Sheila lived up to expectations and climaxed in her cry:
   "Yes, birth control pills!"
   In that second, Thales was instantly petrified.
  The entire Kongming Palace was quiet.
what!
   A few seconds later, everyone looked at Thales in horror and disgust:
   That medicine!
"I……"
   Thales endured the terrifying eyes of the people around him, including his own, and felt at a loss for words:
   "No! That's not a birth control pill! It's just for recovery...and we all drank it..."
   "That's right!" Sheila interrupted him.
  I saw the teary-eyed girl bow her head and wipe her face, wiping two water marks on her fully made-up face, causing the maid behind her to turn pale in shock:
   "But I don't mind!"
   Thales couldn't believe it. He looked at the vicious woman in front of him with anger and pity:
   "No, stop talking, okay? Let's come down and have a good communication..."
   But Hilla didn't care: "I don't mind! I don't even mind you taking that drug to make it happen!"
Huh?
   Everyone looked at Thales with suspicion and thoughtfulness:
  What medicine?
   I saw Xilai sniffing and trembling:
   "Yes, do you remember that bottle of stamina - aphrodisiac?"
  The surroundings became quiet again.
what!
   After a few seconds, everyone suddenly realized and looked at Thales with schadenfreude:
   That medicine!
   Thales was numb on the spot, he stumbled beside Shi Lai, his feet unknowingly stuck in his shoes, barely supporting his empty figure.
   "You...no...I...she...no...don't..."
   Only lips twitched.
  The autumn wind blows, and the Kongming Palace is empty at this time.
   "So, look at this," Hillary stopped crying, her eyes full of hope, "Can't you just accommodate me?"
   Several seconds passed, and everyone looked at each other.
   Among the two people who had a thrilling confrontation, Seychelles also recovered from the inexplicable horror and subconsciously said:
   "Ma'am, Your Highness, but..."
   Miss Kevin Deere raised her eyebrows and put one hand on her hip:
   "Why, you are also curious and want to know what happened to him yesterday?"
  Seychelles surprise:
   "When, of course not, just..."
  The Seychelles knight with high martial arts was embarrassed.
   But Xilai's offensive continued, she pulled Thales, who had a numb face, and continued to chase and kill everyone until the entire battlefield was bloody:
"Okay, let me describe the details to you: Yesterday the two of us sneaked out, sweating and working hard in a small room... ah! He suddenly died! Then I, I had to give He took the medicine, so he got up again, but, ah, then, then I can't do it! Then we have to..."
   "Miss Hillary!"
   Cassian suddenly shouted, interrupting Shirai.
   also saved the precarious battlefield.
   His eyes were closed, and he wished that the Seychelles knight who was deaf on the spot, as well as all the others present, breathed a sigh of relief and retreated from the battlefield in a hurry.
   "Please, please, you and His Royal Highness, let's go now."
   Captain Seychelles glanced at his old friend in pain, and waved his hand weakly: "Emerald Legion, we can just take care of the periphery, let go, let go..."
   As for Thales, um, the wise and powerful North Star has already died heroically, and his name is engraved on the martyr's spectrum.
   Only a numb corpse was left, which was won by the epic victory, and took countless Shirai as trophies, dragged majestically away from this bloody, corpse-riddled battlefield.
   The Star Lake Guard, who was also sluggish for a long time, woke up like a dream and hurriedly followed the footsteps of the prince's walking corpse.
  In this way, the original tense situation disappeared, and everyone procrastinated, or left the scene uninteresting.
  Among the figures, only Seychelles and Cassien remained motionless.
  Cassian looked at the direction where Xi Lai was leaving, snorted lightly, and seemed to laugh at himself: "It seems that it is more difficult to deal with than before."
   But Seychelles' expression sank.
   "Why," Seychelles said to his old friend in a deep voice, "since he has put down his long sword, why return to the battlefield?"
  Cassian was silent.
   "Why," the sloppy middle-aged swordsman responded with a smile, he looked at the opponent's saber, "Since the record is outstanding, why put down the long sword?"
  The two were silent for a while.
   After a few seconds, Cassien nodded to Seychelles and left without any hesitation: "Old friend."
  Seychelles looked at Cassien's back, nodded and hummed:
   "Sir."
   Exited the Kongming Palace. When everyone was stunned and shocked, Thales recovered from his trance and swallowed hard.
   He looked at Xi Lai, who had a gentle smile beside him, only to feel an illusion in front of him.
  The prince turned his head blankly, forced a smile, and faced the subordinates of the guard:
   "That, big guy, what she said just now is actually..."
   No one answered.
   Thales' eyelids jumped and his smile was complicated: "Anyway, you all know me..."
   "I didn't hear anything!"
   In the silence, D.D suddenly shouted, startling everyone!
   Thales was taken aback.
ah?
  I saw D.D glance at his colleagues with a majestic look, his eyes were sharp and terrifying.
   Starting from Toledo, the Star Lake guards only hesitated for a moment, and then responded one after another:
   "Uh, yes!"
   "That's right!"
   "I didn't hear!"
   "Didn't hear anything?"
   "Did you hear anything?"
   "What didn't you hear?"
   "I'm deaf!"
   "I'm deaf and blind!"
   "What did you say?"
   "What just happened?"
   "I just went to the toilet!"
   "I have diarrhea! I went for a quarter of an hour!"
   At that moment, the Doyle found that in the Star Lake Guard, he had acquired a majestic majesty that even the Watchman Majoros had never had, and may never have again in the future.
   Look everywhere, don't dare not follow.
  Finally, D.D nodded with satisfaction after looking around. He then turned to Thales and winked flatteringly.
how?
   And Thales' expression has long since changed from panic and panic at the beginning to insensitivity.
  Only Xilai, who was beside him, smiled like a flower, and it never diminished.
   "Really, what a bold girl..."
  Huiya had lingering fears, and looked in horror at the expressionless, limping His Royal Highness:
   "Who can withstand this offensive?"
  Miranda recovered from the shock just now and smiled softly:
   "Sometimes, I am quite envious of her, she is free to follow her heart, she is free, so comfortable."
   "Don't mention it," D.D turned around and tutted, "You're not bad, Neverwinter Sword? I heard Cohen say that you have a lot of love history, and you still have a little white face in the capital... eh!"
  Miranda tucked her elbows lightly, and the movements seemed to have been practiced long ago, and she was extremely skilled.
"However, such an attitude in a large audience leads to speculation and a lot of money," Paul Bozdorf followed from behind, he stared ahead with complicated eyes, "for the sake of her reputation, she is afraid that she will have to marry in the future. Your Highness Thales."
   Of course, this may be the trick of Iris, using public opinion to force the royal family to marry the blood of Kevin Deere, and then use the power of in-laws to operate behind the scenes to obtain...
  Crack!
  Paul frowned, and he looked down at his feet: it was a pie bag that had just been emptied.
   "If you really think that, little silly lion..."
  Paul looked at the owner of the bag badly:
  Small what?
  I saw D.D chewing the almond in his mouth, looking at the backs of Thales and Hillary with a smile, showing some unusual complex emotions:
   "Then you can underestimate her."
  Doyle said and left, leaving Paul, who was surprised and puzzled, and Miranda, who was thoughtful.
