"Don't go overboard, or you two won't end well, and he is a prince after all, and this identity is an advantage. Anne Lott finally couldn't help but remind.

"I understand. Regner smiled.

......

That night, Regner learned that Joffrey had left the palace on a safari.

"You've become a headmaster and still have the heart to hunt?" Regner sneered at Joffrey's irresponsibility, but it was a good thing for him. At least that way he would be able to get close to Joffrey easily.

Although Regner is now considered a top-notch assassin on the mainland, with his current ability, it is still difficult to infiltrate the palace of the Hawke Empire without leaving a trace. And once he leaves any flaws, then the charge of trespassing into the palace will not be shaken off. There will be countless troubles then.

So, since Joffrey was willing to leave the palace, Regner naturally saved trouble. He inquired about Joffrey's location through MI, and rode out on a fast horse at night.

......

Joffrey was startled by the cold touch on the back of his neck, and he hurriedly withdrew from his meditative state, then slowly raised his hands.

"Who are you, do you know who I am?" Joffrey's voice sounded calm, and he was calculating in his heart that if the opponent was an assassin from the Stoke Empire, then he would definitely not make such a meaningless movement on his neck and cut his throat directly. So, this guy must be someone from inside the Hawke Empire.

"Of course I know who you are, but you're the one I'm looking for. Regner whispered, although there were still a number of patrolling retinues outside Joffrey's tent, but when he entered the tent, he had already placed the mute sigil that Annelot had given him. Theoretically, with such a thing, no one would hear Regner even if he rolled around in the tent and cried wolf, but he still seemed very cautious, because the person he was facing was, after all, the eldest prince of the Hawke Empire, the preferred heir to the throne at present.

"Regner?" Joffrey guessed who it was when he heard the voice, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, it's you, you're finally here!"

"What about me, Your Highness the Prince?" Regner pressed the black blade down again, and Joffrey's neck even appeared as thin as a hair's blood.

"What are you doing with me?" Joffrey calmed down after realizing that it was Regner, he knew that Regner was too worried, and he would never dare to kill himself so desperately.

"Of course it's confirmed something. Regner smiled and withdrew his dagger, patted Joffrey on the cheek with the blade of the black blade, and said, "Turn around!"

"......" Joffrey moved his chair around in silence, for one leg was not yet healed, and he was now extremely clumsy even if he moved a chair. In the past, he would have used a mage's hand instead, but now that he was approached by a top-level assassin, Joffrey did not dare to make such a threatening move as casting a spell.

"It seems that the gift that the boss left for you seems to be good. Regner couldn't help but laugh at Joffrey's clumsy appearance.

Joffrey gritted his teeth so hard that he whispered but bitterly angrily, "One day, I'll all your women in front of you, and then kill you!"

"Pay attention to your situation. Ragner swung the dagger straight and slice a small part of the tendon in Joffrey's shoulder.

"Ahh

"Don't threaten me at this time, because I'm on the verge of spiraling out of control right now. Regner's voice still sounded very calm: "And once I lose control, you can imagine what I will do." ”

"......" Joffrey felt frightened at this point, and he understood that Regner was not joking with him at this time. No matter how much Regnar had to worry about it, no matter how much Regna had to worry about it, if Joffrey really continued to threaten the lives of those women, then Ragner might as well kill him now, and then go into exile with a few women.

"What are you looking for me for?" Joffrey's tone finally softened.

"First of all, is that Hoffman your man?" Ragner asked with a smile as he seemed pleased with Joffrey's change of attitude.

"At this time, I said, is there any difference?" Joffrey replied, covering his wounds, since Regner was here, then he must have thought that he had done it, so how could it be pointed?

"May I take this answer as your admission?"

"Whatever you want!"

"That's good. Regner's eyes became as sharp as a blade in an instant, and his black blade had been pressed against Joffrey's Adam's apple at some point, and Regner said in the most solemn tone he could have done: "Then I'm here to warn you, don't do it to the people around me again." ”

"What else would it be? You've come all the way here just to threaten me?" Joffrey sneered with some disdain, who did Regna think he was?

"That's a good question. Regner smiled confidently, he pulled out the Light-Swallowing Sword behind his back, and said, "Actually, this is a secret of mine, but now in order for you to understand the importance of the matter, I think it is better for you to see it with your own eyes." I'm sure His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince, who is a mage, should be able to understand it very easily. ”

"Teacher, please......" said silently in his heart.

"I see. Garona answered, and then released some of the soul power that Regner had collected through the Light-Swallowing Sword during this time.

In an instant, the already pitch-black sword body that swallowed up even emitted black light at this time, and then an eerie and terrifying force filled the entire tent. Although the brightness of the light in the tent had barely changed, not to mention Joffrey, even Ragner was visibly feeling suppressed by this unnatural soul power. It felt like there was an invisible ghost standing behind me all the time.

"Okay, that's it. Regner looked at Joffrey's face and felt that it was almost a threat, so he quickly shouted to stop, the environment was so oppressive that even he broke out in a cold sweat because of it.

"How's that? Doesn't it taste good?" Garona triumphant, knowing how much soul power affects people.

"......" Regner was speechless.

"Soul ...... Horcrux ......" Joffrey muttered in a tone of extreme fear, "This sword of yours...... It turned out to be a Horcrux......"

"It's a high-level mage, it's really knowledgeable!" Regner was pleased with Joffrey's surprise and horror.

"How do you have a Horcrux?" asked Joffrey, whose voice trembled a little, and although Joffrey wasn't a necromancer who was proficient in soul magic, he still knew how terrifying a Horcrux was.

The so-called Horcrux refers to a certain artifact that can control the power of the soul, it can be a weapon, it can also be armor, or even a stone. As we know, once a person dies, there are many ways for his soul to go, and the lucky ones may return to the arms of the gods they believe in, and the less fortunate ones will either be harvested by the god of death or will be dissipated. Is there anything worse than this? The answer is yes, and the worse outcome is to be controlled by one's own enemies with Horcruxes.

Once a person's soul is controlled by a Horcrux, then that guy can only be reduced to the plaything of the owner of the Horcrux. The soul is a very strange thing that can disappear in a short period of time without the support of soul power. But a soul can also burn under the torture of the Soul Devouring Fire for 10,000 years without the slightest loss......

And how painful it is to be burned by the soul devouring fire is beyond the scope of words that can be described, and compared to this kind of torture, ** will become a comfortable and comfortable thing like taking a sauna.

So Joffrey was terrified when he learned that Regner had the Horcruxes.

"It's just a coincidence, the original name of this weapon. Regner paused and said, "It's called Soul Eater." ”

"Soul Eater Winrington's weapon ......" Joffrey's face turned a little paler, he was scared now, he was scared, if Regner killed him with Devouring at this time, then what would he face next?

"Now that you know so much, I think it's time for me to express myself. "You see, in a country like this, I can approach you without anyone noticing," said Regner. Now, even if I tried to kill you, no one could stop me. Well, the outskirts have made your guards a lot looser, but do you really believe that the palace guards can stop me, and even if you can, can you never leave the palace?"

"......," Joffrey turned paler the more he listened.

"You know, the person you're dealing with now is me, the Dark Elegy, the continent's top assassin. Regner continued: "So, you can escape my pursuit for a while, but not for the rest of my life, you can defend yourself against my assassination during the day, and you may not be able to prevent it while you eat and sleep, and any power you may have in the face of my shadow and dark body will become a joke." In other words, as long as you are targeted by me, then there is absolutely only a dead end. Do you understand?"

"Ming...... White ......," Joffrey replied, dripping in a cold sweat.

"So. Ragner bent down and whispered in Joffrey's ear, "Never, never, don't touch my boundary, and if you do, then devise a strategy that will definitely kill me." And as long as you keep me breathing, then what awaits you is endless fear and torment. ”

"......" Joffrey didn't know when he finally came to his senses, and by this time, Regner had already disappeared.

"See...... Hell!!" Joffrey wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then gritted his teeth and cursed.

Then His Royal Highness summoned his own guards, and all the attendants who had gone out hunting with Joffrey watched as he first scolded them inexplicably, and then immediately executed the unfortunate ones who had kept vigil that night. Joffrey's actions were naturally incomprehensible to others, but because he was the prince of the Empire, no one dared to say a word even if he killed a few squires.
