When the drama of "Officers and Soldiers Catch Thieves" in the Royal Theatre of Agrim entered the white-hot stage, the royal palace of Reino Palace, which is separated by a wall, is as silent as a lake in the royal garden that never has waves. www.biquge.info It was indeed late at night, and the lights in the palace were almost all extinguished, except for the Praetorian Guard's office.

Reino Palace is known for its luxury, and everyone who comes to Egrim wants to see the palace, whether it is a wealthy merchant or a swordsman and magician, but so far, no one who has not set foot in the palace has not been a single step into it. Of course, there are also people with bad intentions, or take advantage of the night, or wait for the soldiers to change the guard and nap, and break in without knowing the sky, but Louis Grande, as the captain of the Royal Guard, is never worried. The palace is more complex than outsiders can imagine, every marble column, every statue, every corner of the cloister, every pattern on every red brick...... All of them have exerted the ultimate magic, like countless eyes, tightly staring at the five areas of the palace, including the administration, the dormitory, the mausoleum area, the temple, and the royal garden.

In fact, Reino originally had the meaning of "eye" and "pupil" in the Egrem language, and it can also be extended to monitor, probe, and control. Ironically, the palace is now inhabited by two princes, and the country is run by these two princes at the same time, resulting in two parties that are constantly at odds with each other, making Egrem political, economic, and diplomatic...... The division of authority in dozens of large and small aspects is blurred, and serious loopholes have emerged. Although in the eyes of ordinary people and foreigners, the country is still very powerful. Under the exploration, it can be seen that it was originally a small barren country without much land and mineral resources, but because of its geographical advantage, it controlled the main route between the East and the West, because of its extensive financial resources. But in recent years, it has not been the case at all, the chaotic government has increasingly revealed its shortcomings, the problem and the intrigue of partisanship have involved a lot of money, and the capital accumulated by previous generations of kings has been almost exhausted.

But these were not the concerns of Louis Grande, the captain of the Royal Praetorian Guard. The night was already so deep, and he was still working at his desk, just for the large stack of files in front of him, all of which had recently been reported as headless murders, and the local judiciary had no clue, and besides, there were more and more victims, and they were all over the country; But Prince Skill didn't think so and ordered a thorough investigation, so the Praetorian Guard under Prince Skill has been having a headache about the murder recently, and as the captain, Louis naturally can't slack off.

The victims had a clear commonality, they were all young women, civilians, and their blood had been drained. Louis Grande once thought that it was a vampire, but after examining the body, he found that the two tooth holes in the deceased's neck were man-made, which means that it was a murder case that was faked as a vampire.

Louis carefully read the details of the incident from the newspapers everywhere, hoping to find some clues from them. Suddenly, a figure flashed at the door, "Who?" The vigilant Praetorian Guard captain quickly chased after him, "Oh, it turned out to be the vice-captain of the 'Tower'." ”

As mentioned earlier, Egrim was ruled by two princes, one of whom was Prince Skil, who lived on the west side of Reino's bedchamber, and his party was called the "Deep Springs" because of the clear spring where he lived. Prince Klad and his supporters, who lived in the tower on the east side of the dormitory, were called the "Taller Sect". The two Praetorian Guards, each with their own main body but working in the same office, were also successfully distinguished by the names "Deep Spring" and "High Tower".

About ten minutes ago, the vice-captain of the "Tower" came back to take inspiration from Captain Alex Sandra's order, although the two Praetorian Guards are very incompatible, but isn't there a sentence, the official level crushes people to death, even the captain of the "Deep Spring" needs to be respectful. He saluted Louie.

"What's the fuss about so late?" Louis asked.

"Take ...... Fetch something......" The vice-captain stammered, he remembered that before the operation, his captain had said that this matter would be carried out in secret, and that "Deep Spring" should not be allowed to know. Why is the matter of catching a thief so mysterious? The deputy captain did not know, and of course he did not want to delve into the mystery, because after serving in the palace for many years, he still had some sense of proportion in his heart.

"Oh. Let's go. Louis did not continue to ask, it can be seen from the other party's expression that he has something to hide, and even if he does, he will not ask anything, what is the "tower" doing? Louis thought so, and returned to the case file that had caused him a headache.

Recently, the murder case files have been piled high, but what he is more concerned about is that next to this pile of case files, there is another pile, and it is piled even higher, that is the missing case file! Eight out of ten of these case files are missing people, all of whom are young civilian girls. Louis Grande thinks there is a big connection between the two, and he even ventures to speculate that the missing girls may have been killed, but their bodies have not been found.

Thinking of this, he frowned, if this is really the case, then there is definitely a bigger conspiracy hidden behind these case files. Before he could think deeply, there was a bustling sound at the door, and he opened the door again to look out. It's still the "tower" people, this time there are three, pushing a prisoner cart.

Where did you get this old antique? Louis thought to himself, what were the people of the "Tower" tossing in the middle of the night? Out of curiosity, he walked in the direction of the prisoner cart and took a closer look at the big thing.

The surface is the same as a normal prisoner car, but the eye-catching magic symbol makes Louie's heart tremble. He remembered that it was a treasure that had been paid tribute by the envoys of other countries a long time ago, saying that it was for criminals of the ultimate magic level, and it had not been used since. Louis touched his chin, what the hell was the "tower" doing.

The behavior of the "tower" is not surprising at all. Half an hour earlier, in the Royal Theatre, Lucia had been surrounded. In Lucia's opinion, with her current magical ability, she has little chance of winning against a group of well-trained soldiers, especially those who are still demon-resistant. On the other hand, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, the red-haired and blue-eyed little girl in front of her has a strong demonic nature, and if she really makes a move, the chance of terrifying her own side is much greater.

This two-sided fear did not last long. Lucia silently recited the incantation, and the rope that bound her was quietly untied, a strange smile appeared on her face, and a small fireball was generated in the palms of each of her hands, which slowly grew larger in the following incantation. Her hands slowly clasped together, and the two fireballs gradually merged into one, and the light and shadow reflected the entire interior wall of the theater red.

"Now that you know my strength, don't trouble me!" Lucia in the center of the fire shouted, "Get out of the way, and you'll live." Otherwise, let you see the refining fire of hell!"

Under this momentum, the Praetorian Guard soldiers, who were already beating drums in their hearts, flinched a little. Only Alex was unmoved, squinting at Lucia. With this kind of strength, I am afraid that there are a hundred ways to get out, why did you have to be caught with your hands tied just now? If there is another purpose in pretending to be captured, then why do you want to threaten so aggressively now? There are too many unreasonable contradictions in this little girl, which is really suspicious.

Captain Alex Sandra's doubts are by no means unfounded. In fact, Lucia really has to break the cauldron, if you want to get out, you must take advantage of the other party's misunderstanding of her magic level, since they think that their mana is strong, they can only calculate, the fireball's trick has been used once when dealing with vampires, and the effect is not bad, if even the vampires can deceive it, only a few humans should not be a problem, Lucia, who is planning like this, obviously underestimated Alex, and the prop reserves of the Royal Praetorian Guard of Egrem. When the magic prisoner cart was pushed into the Grand Theater, Lucia's fireball, which could only be seen and could not be used, was completely extinguished.
