The range that could be illuminated by the flames on Lucy's torch was crawling with dense intertwined pythons, with scarlet snake eyes and long cores, their scales glittering strangely in the firelight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoWhoever sees this scene will feel creepy.

Natsu tugged hard at the quilt, flung the old man inside behind him, and then bravely pounced on the front of the python. He put his hands to his mouth and spat out a high-temperature flame, instantly burning dozens of pythons into a black mass, and forcing the rest of the pythons to retreat.

"Strange ......," he said, pressing his hands against the walls on either side of the passage, standing in place like a fortress, and he was surprised at something, "why doesn't it smell like meat at all?" Instead...... It stinks! ”

Lucy helped Wendy drag the old man's body, and when she heard this, she said a little angrily, "When is it, you still want to eat!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey." Natsu touched his nose, and he heard another hissing sound coming from the wall, so he said to them, "You run first, I'll deal with them, and I'll catch up with you later!" Without waiting for an answer, he rushed into the darkness, and then the flames of the explosion came out around the corner, and his shadow flashed.

Lucy took a picture with a torch, but did not see him or a python chasing after her, so she had to say to Wendy and them: "Just listen to Natsu, let's run away with this oil bottle first, and then we will say, I hope we don't run into the pursuers or anything." ”

Wendy unleashed a lightening and powerful spell on them, and they worked together to drag the old man's body through the secret passages with difficulty and tension.

"Don't you want to say anything?"

A quarter of an hour earlier, Nickles had appeared in his cell, dismissed everyone, and interrogated Fuko himself. And a quarter of an hour passed, and no matter how hard he tried to speak, Fuko remained silent as if he had heard nothing.

"I'll guess." Nickles intends to use psychological warfare to lure Fuko into revealing his flaws, saying, "You have close ties to Gerald and journalist Gajiru, right?" ”

Fuko's eyes seemed to be locked on the iron fence, and he didn't waver at all.

"You have a backbone, I appreciate it, after all, you look the same as me, what if you don't have two strikes?" Nickles walked around him and said, "But what I want to know, I will definitely dig it out of you, you don't need to be so stubborn, say it sooner, it's good for all of us." ”

Nickles waited for a while, but could not get the answer he wanted, so he snorted and said in a loud voice, "Since you don't want to say anything, you should be ready to be punished." My punishment is a little different, though, and I really hope you'll last longer than the guys before you. Someone, change him to a 'special cell'. ”

Two heavily armed king, kingdom, and military jailers walked in quickly, grabbed Fukou from left and right, and dragged him outside. Fu Kou took a long time to observe this underground black prison, and it was pitch black everywhere, no brighter than in the secret passage. He was dragged to a small black door.

The jailers opened the black door, and he saw a small space, into which he was forcefully shoved. Surrounded by walls and unusually cramped space, he had to curl up. Immediately after, he heard the sound of the black door closing, and he could not see anything.

It was quiet, as if it were a silent world, but after a while, he heard the sound of water droplets, rhythmically dripping and clicking. He had roughly guessed what Nicklers' punishment was.

He called up the system and watched the update page.

[10 hours, 23 minutes and 56 seconds left until the system update is completed]

In the office of the deputy chief of staff of Wang Cheng, Bayro was walking slowly to the candlestick and burning a white piece of paper on which he had written a few sentences. The old man was hunched up, with a sense of caution and solemnity.

The young captain of the Third Demon Force, Xius, was sitting leisurely on the sofa, waiting for a report from his subordinates. As soon as he received an urgent order from Chief of Staff Nickles, he used his magic prop "Command Wand" to control hundreds of doll pythons and burrow into the secret passage to hunt down those intruders.

"What do you think those intruders are who would dare to attack our queen directly?" Hughes asked Baro, who crossed his legs and rested his hands on the back of the couch.

"Who knows, probably what kind of rebel it is? This time, we have collected magic crystals from another world, and there are many people with red eyes, and even the 'God Clan' wants a piece of the pie. ”

"Haha, do you think it's possible that someone from another world has broken into us? Tell me what you think, old fellow, you're the former chief of staff, and you've always had a better brain than me. ”

"Even if they are visitors from another world, with our firepower, they will be wiped out sooner or later."

Theseus sat up on the couch and said, "This time that Niklos guy has done his job again, how do you think he was able to appear exactly where he should have been every time?" This time, he had seen through the enemy's plot to attack the queen. Our great king is sure to reward him well again. ”

"The king is seriously ill and bedridden, but the reward will surely be given. If you can seriously pursue your enemies, you might even be able to get some rewards. "Besides, the news of the king's serious illness is classified, and you don't have to tell anyone about it, for if it leaks, the rebels will know that we are leaderless, and the people will be terrified." ”

"Cut...... He said that he was seriously ill, but in fact we took a look at it from afar, and we did not know whether the king was dead or alive now. ”

"You'd better take that back what you said."

"Okay, okay, I'll take it back. It is worthy of being the former chief of staff of Bayro, who single-handedly promoted Nikelus and abdicated to make way for Xian, and he had to think about his good apprentice in everything...... Hehe, but did your apprentice ever think about you? ”

"If you don't do a little bit of stirring up trouble, maybe you will already be in some important position." Bariro sarcastically said, his brow furrowed tightly and his voice a little hoarse.

"Forget it, everyone knows that the only people who can hold important positions are Pansalili and Elusa, and I and Sugpoi are just foils. I have been so upset for you, and you have done your best for the kingdom, and when you are old and weak, and Nyclus is doing well, our great king kicks you away......"

"Enough! Get out of here! Bariro shouted angrily.

Hughes sneered, got up from the couch, calmly straightened his clothes, and walked out of here. He also turned around and raised his middle finger defiantly at Bayro, making Bayro angry.

One o'clock in the morning.

"Why can't I visit the king?" Pansali asked.

The queen cast a stern glare at him from a high place, and said, "Do you know who you are talking to, and how dare you speak in such an odious tone?" ”

Pansalili frowned, knelt down on one knee, his armor clanging, and said, "I'm sorry, Queen, I'm just too anxious...... There are invaders in the royal city, and I just want to make sure the king is safe. And I haven't seen him in days, and I have a lot to report to him. ”

In the bright lights, his true body was revealed, not only as tall and majestic as a bear, but also as tall and majestic as a bear, with round ears and scars all over his body that he believed to be marks of merit, only covered by shaggy black fur.

"Don't worry, I also thought of this, so I asked the maid to check it out. The king is in a safe room and will never ......"

Before she could finish her sentence, a maid burst in in a panic and fell to her knees trembling in front of them.

"Queen! King...... The king is gone! ”

"What!" The queen slammed herself from her seat and said in astonishment.

Pansali grabbed the maid and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

The maid was so frightened that she cried, but she still told what had happened.

It turned out that she had just gone to check on the king's chamber, and found that the guards and maids there had all been killed, the room was covered in blood, and the bed on which the king had been lying was empty.

"Did the invaders take the king away?" The queen's face turned pale.

Pansali put down the maid, angry and anxious, and said to the queen, "Don't worry, now I will immediately lead the demon army to search, they will not run far!" ”

But the queen stopped him and said to him, "Isn't the chief of staff hiding the news of the king's serious illness from the outside world just to appease the people?" You can't go to find someone with such fanfare, or everybody will know that the king is no longer here. You should first ask the chief of staff for his opinion, he always has an idea. ”

Pansalili also secretly hated himself for falling for this scheme, and when the queen said this, she was at a loss, and she also planned to report the situation to the chief of staff, Nickles, so he said: "Then I will go to the chief of staff and them first, and the queen, I will let Elusa personally come and protect you later, and the king's affairs will be left to us." ”

"Good ......," said the queen, who suddenly burst into tears, "you must get the king back, and you must ......."

Pansarili nodded to her, then walked out briskly.
