When Hubble fell to the ground unwillingly, a disapprehensive Sterns continued to poke several holes in Hubble's corpse, until he was sure that the killer was completely impossible to stand up again, and then wiped the cold sweat on his face and sat on the ground.

This time it was too risky. Strers happily looked at the staff that was still in his hand, and then carefully put it into his clothes. If it weren't for it, he would be as blind as the soldiers who died in battle. It's just that more than a dozen heroic souls are destined to sleep under that makeshift monument, especially the few remaining guards, which makes Steers's heart gloomy.
After cleaning up the battlefield with the Guards who had arrived after him, Sterns hurried to Prince Damian's residence with dozens of Guards and hundreds of ordinary soldiers, but when they arrived, they found that it was empty. It was apparently the failure of the assassination attempt that caused the prince to flee.
We'll have to catch him quickly, Stears thought to himself. Unwillingly, he led the soldiers to turn the entire mansion upside down and found nothing, which discouraged Steers, and it seemed that the only hope was that the magical trio could find some clues.
Unbeknownst to Sters, however, shortly after he left with his soldiers, a secret door hidden in the Prince's residence was silently opened, and hundreds of people, including the Prince and his servants, appeared like rats. And the person who came out of it would probably be surprised if Stearns saw it, because he was the assassin Hubble who had been killed by Stearns himself.
The Prince's expression was a little unnatural, obviously suppressing his anger. After drinking a glass of water brought by the servant, the prince pretended to be polite and asked Hubble, who was sitting next to him, "Why do you want to use a puppet to test the palace in a senseless way?"
Hubble didn't care about the prince's tone, smiled and replied, "Your Excellency, if you are Sterls, when you personally kill the assassin who poses the greatest threat to the king, only to find that the main messenger behind the scenes has fled, then what should you do?"
"Of course, it is to turn the whole city upside down until the main messenger behind the scenes is caught. ”
"And will you still guard the king's bedchamber?"
"Uh... The prince thought for a moment and replied, "I still will." But because we have to search for the people behind the scenes, we will definitely allocate a part of our forces to search. ”
"That's it. Hubble smiled arrogantly, then realized that he was a little rude, and then replied respectfully: "So your Majesty, you can send your subordinates to storm the palace until Magellan VII is sent to hell once and for all." ”
"What do you mean?" the prince stood up and couldn't suppress his anger and asked, "You mean to let me kill the old emperor myself?"
"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. When I tell you what I'm going to do, you'll know why I'm asking you to do it. ”
The prince then sat down and drank all the tea in his cup in one gulp, so that he did not look less angry. "Well, you've caught my interest. ”
"My lord, as far as the current situation is concerned, Magellan VII no longer plays a role in the country. Now Magellan, the real key figures are Sterls and his three friends. The death of the king may be sad for the people, but once one of those four people unfortunately leaves them, it is the real despair. ”
"What do you mean?"
"In the previous operation, Stells had already played his cards. So, he's the easiest one to kill. And that elf is still injured and has not recovered. If I'm lucky, I'll let Sters die under the Nine Springs with a companion. As for the other two. Hubble looked inexplicably nervous. "Those two are not something I can deal with. That magician, I never knew what kind of cards he would play. And the head of the Xiangyun Society, I don't think even if Bretsoe is there in person, he may not be his opponent. I smelled something from him that didn't belong in our world. He's too mysterious, and he's too scary. King, I don't care about that. How to dispose of it, it is up to your Majesty Prince. “
"Then it's decided. The prince was relieved. Satisfied, he walked up to Hubble's side, patted him on the shoulder, and exclaimed, "I'm lucky to have a subordinate like you." ”
Hubble just smiled evilly, and said in his heart, "I won't be anyone's subordinate." ”
At the same time, Sterls, who was empty, went to consult Hill with a sad face, but after entering the door, he was surprised to find that Hill was sitting leaning against the head of the bed, and Qi Tianci was sitting on the edge of Hill's bed and didn't know what he was talking about, completely unaware of his presence. It wasn't until he coughed a few times in embarrassment that Hill lay down in a little panic, and the unhappy expression on Qi Tianci's face could be clearly detected even from a city away.
"What are you doing, can't you knock on the door before entering?" Qi Tianci, who looked unhappy, gently covered Hill's quilt, and then asked Sters with an angry temperament. "Don't you know that people in love need personal space?"
"Uh, I've knocked three times. Only later did I find out that the door was not closed. “
"I don't know how to shout if the door is not closed, it's really a disappointment. Qi Tianci planned to continue scolding, but until Sterns came so recklessly, there must be something important, so he didn't dwell too much, and finally just asked angrily: "Anyway, did you encounter something difficult to deal with?"
Sterns was able to catch his breath and uncover all the causes and consequences of the incident. After saying that, Sterns took a rare break.
"You mean, when you searched the mansion for what it was, you found that there was no one there? Are you sure no one is tipped off?"
"I'm not sure about that, but I don't think I would have survived if someone had been dealing with that killer. But I still have to thank you, if it wasn't for the wand you gave me, I wouldn't have been able to come to see you. “
"That's right. Qi Tianci didn't feel too much about Sterls's thanks, he pondered for a while and then looked at Hill who was lying down pretending to be asleep with an inquiring gaze, and asked with a smile, "Yuan Fang, what do you think?"
"What do you mean? Who is Yuan Fang?" Not only Hill, but even Sters didn't know anything about what Qi Tianci said, until Qi Tianci took a long time to delete the word Yuan Fang, and Hill replied succinctly: "It's very simple, that Hubble is not dead. “
"What? you say he's not dead?" said Sterls jumped up like a cat with a tail stepped on, his face incredulous.
