Raise your head, the huge city gate made of blue bricks appears in front of you, and you can't see whether it is from the relief of the famous craftsman, and there are watchtowers on both sides, but at this time, there are no guards in the watchtower.

Shen Yi stopped in front of the city gate, the vendors lined up on the side, waiting to enter the city to do some business, then he retracted his gaze, lined up to the end of the line, and rushed forward with the crowd, this is not the first time he has come to this human town called Atlas, he doesn't know much, the only thing that makes him curious is probably that this is the territory of General Torya, one of the four generals of the empire, this is the most mentioned topic by the residents of the town.

The reason for curiosity is not only because she is the fourth general of the empire, but because of Toria's female status, the fact that she is a woman in the important position of the four generals of the empire, and the fact that she can cause a topic in itself is enough to outweigh any scandal, plus there are good people who put General Tolia and the most beautiful singer of the empire side by side, and then come to the conclusion that the two are equally beautiful, and it is not difficult for him to be curious.

However, it was only curious, this time Atlas did not come to satisfy his dispensable curiosity, the time was close to spring, and his purpose this time was to buy some basic iron tools, as well as seeds, of course, salt and the like are also essential.

The language barrier did not exist from the beginning, as if he could understand the orc language, and he could also understand the human language in Atlas, and the reason for it, I was afraid that he could not get it no matter how much he thought about it at present, so he had to hold back such a question and keep it in his heart, as for the money for the purchase, it was obtained after selling the snow wolf's fur.

With all kinds of thoughts turning in his heart, Shen Yi mixed in the crowd and followed the flow of people, but the front of the team faintly became a little rioty, and when he noticed, groups of soldiers poured out of the city, separating the crowd.

He was a little confused, I don't know how long it took, a line of luxurious convoys slowly came from a distance, in front of the road were knights in heavy armor, on both sides were solemn soldiers, and the people next to him immediately whispered, he could faintly know that the person who came was a princess of the empire.

Subsequently, the soldiers at the city gate dispersed soon after welcoming the convoy into the city, and Shen Yi soon put this matter behind him, this kind of thing probably belongs to the category of dispensable, so thinking about it, his figure slowly disappeared into the crowd with the flow of people.

……

The luxurious motorcade finally stopped in front of the grand mansion, and Isabella, dressed in a long purple dress, stepped out of the carriage with the support of the waiter, and when she saw Toria standing in front of the mansion, her eyes couldn't help but redden, and the grievances of the past days lingered in her chest.

"Sister Tolia...... Checkmate. The word sister that she blurted out was blocked in her throat for some reason, and she choked up with a trembling tone.

"It's been a hard work, Isabella."

Toria's eyes slowly softened, fading the iron-blooded expression that stood in front of the army, she showed a smile, her beautiful face looked extremely dazzling for a while, stretched out her hands, as if waiting for her spoiled sister to pounce into her arms, and looking at the doting smile as before, Isabella couldn't hold back any longer, tears and fear gushed out like a river bursting its banks.

“…… Woo, Sister Toria......"

……

"Keep everyone in Isabella's convoy under surveillance, and they won't be allowed to leave without my orders." With a blushing face, Toria commanded coldly, the heels of her shoes on the marble floor clattering, reflecting her irrepressible anger at this moment, "Arrange Isabella's residence next door to me, I want to see who else dares to approach her." ”

"Also, transfer a squadron to be stationed here, and ...... Send someone to investigate who exactly wants to do it to the eldest princess of the empire! Toria gave the order in one breath, and Lilith hurriedly answered, and it could be heard that Toria was really angry, and she immediately retreated.

Standing in front of the door, Tolia took a deep breath, put away her blue face, and then pushed open the door, Isabella, who had calmed down, held a small cup of hot tea, sat on the edge of the bed, the heat rose in front of her, her slightly puffy eyes, and her delicate face looked pitiful.

"Isabella, can you tell me what's going on?"

"Sister Tolia......"

Hearing the same reliable voice as before, Isabella couldn't help but sobbed quietly, shaking her shoulders to show the weakness of her heart at the moment, she began to reminisce intermittently about the fear of the imperial capital for half a year, the nightmarish days began with the discovery that someone had poisoned her food, and then every day she lived a life of fear, staying up all night for fear of being infiltrated by assassins, and in fact, someone did sneak in, but because she switched identities with the maid, So it wasn't her who woke up the next day dead.

In an environment full of death-threatening environments, she didn't know who to trust, and she didn't know who wanted to kill her, even her most respected father, seemed to turn a blind eye to her life and death, and everyone around her seemed to be wearing a mask, and behind that mask was hidden a sharp blade that could pierce her chest at any time.

At the end of the day, Isabella fell into Toria's arms and wept silently.

"It's alright, Isabella, no one can touch you with me!" Tolia gently hugged the helpless girl in her arms, comforting her and soothing the uneasiness in her heart.

Outside the window, the winter sun gradually deepens......

*****************************************************************************************

Loading all the things he bought into the backpack he had prepared in advance, Shen Yi immediately carried it easily, and naturally cast strange glances around him, the backpack was sewn with wolf skin, but it was almost impossible for Vivian to keep things normal.

He sighed, and almost could feel that everyone's eyes were on the hideous wolf head on the backpack, it was Vivien's masterpiece, and he didn't want to be eye-catching, but looking at the current appearance, he really wanted to find a crack to get into, and he pressed his forehead with a little headache.

Covering his face and walking through the crowd, Shen Yi felt that his current image must be very similar to a stranger carrying a travel shoulder bag, or a homeless man, so thinking about it, the moment he turned the corner, some familiar smells rushed through his heart.

"Huh?" He turned his face curiously, his black pupils lingering at the end of the crowded street.

Judging by past experience, this familiar smell is usually a sign of opportunity and ...... Trouble, thinking about it, he walked to the side.

Then in the crowd, the homeless man who seemed extremely strange to others turned into an alley where no one looked, and after a long time, he did not appear, and some people were curious, and some of them ran over, but in the sealed alley, it was ......

There is no one!

……

The gaze is raised, and in the shadowed corners that ordinary people's eyes cannot reach, they jump up on the broken tiles of the eaves, and the shadows cast by the towering buildings cross the crowded streets, and the black figures flash by the ground.

Then she clings to the hands of the clock tower, throws out the rope in her hand like a hook, and flies in the air to the eaves on the other side, sometimes like a light swallow, gliding through the air, sometimes like a sturdy gecko, crawling against the wall, but no matter what time it is, the black shadow must be empty, as if she does not want people to find her tracks, she avoids all the possibility of being seen.

Eventually, the black shadow stopped in a dilapidated mansion directly opposite the heavily guarded Tolia's mansion.

She looked at the layers of martial law courtyard, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the next moment she turned around, and the cold silver light came out of her hand, shooting towards the empty corner behind her, and at the same time, her body reflexively bowed, and she took two steps back, and the other hand held the dagger that fell from the placket.

Ding—With a crunching sound, a knife is nailed to the post.

She looked around vigilantly, as if an invisible enemy would come from somewhere in the next second, but ...... After a long time, nothing happened in the dark space, and then she put away her dagger, walked to the pillar, and pulled out the knife, especially with deep doubt in her eyes.

"Delusion?"

……

On the other side –

"Unqualified!" In the alley next to the dilapidated residential building, Shen Yi's figure carrying a huge burden was revealed, raised his head, his eyes fixed on the place where the black figure was, and shook his head and sighed as if he saw an unsuccessful junior: "Carrying such a conspicuous thing on his back, he hasn't even found my traces, it's too inferior!" ”

He said to himself, spreading his hands in disappointment, although he didn't know what the other party's purpose was, but from her skills and outfit, he could probably guess her identity, it should be an assassin or a killer or something.

And...... It was 100% certain that the person was a woman, judging by her figure and the slightly bulging curves under her clothes. It's just that what does such a thing have to do with him? From discovering the other party's traces to following them temporarily, all these are just pranks in the heart.

Although it may be mixed with the same idea of trying his own skills, judging from the results alone, it is quite ideal, and it has not regressed too much, but it stops there, from beginning to end, he has no intention of intervening, and who is dead and what does it have to do with him?

With that in mind, he turned and walked out of the city gate, and then Atlas's shadow slowly moved away, and turned into the forest from the side path, and after a while, the figure of Thrall and his party appeared from the corner.

"Shen Yi, it's still smooth, right?"

"Well, everything is bought, and it's not a big problem."

"It's good to be smooth." Sal nodded, and then the atmosphere of the team seemed a little awkward, after thinking about it, he stretched out his hand towards the burden behind Shen Yi: "It's better for me to carry it, it's been a busy day today, let's take a rest!" ”

Shen Yi nodded disappreciatively, his mind was not here for the time being, and he didn't have to refuse Sal's kindness, so he instructed lightly: "Then I'll leave it to you, it may be a little heavy." ”

"Hehe, although I can't compare to you, I'm still a little confident in terms of strength."

"Hmm." Shen Yixuan handed the backpack to Sal's back, and in an instant, the burly orc couldn't help but take a few steps forward, almost falling to his knees, but Shen Yi didn't notice Sal's changing face behind him because he was thinking about what happened today: "Then I'll go back first." With that, he waved his hand and walked on his own, leaving Thrall where he was.

“…… Is this really just a bit of a hit...... Barton, come and help me......"

"Huh? What's wrong, is it that heavy...... Woo, it's ......"

“…… Sa ...... Sal, are you sure the two of us can move back......"

“…… Now, let's call Bauer over too......"

“…… That's not true, is it...... Shen Yi looked like he was relaxed just now......"

“…… It's a monster ......."
