In the streets and alleys of the five districts of Arthur City, wanted lists were posted everywhere.

"The wanted people on the wanted warrant are all criminals who have participated in rebellion before and have not yet been caught, I hope you will actively cooperate with the investigation, if there are relevant clues, please report them immediately, the empire will have a heavy reward!"

Soldiers made a loud announcement as they rode around.

On the South Side, on a street, Fox in a simple black coat is staring at a wanted list in front of him.

At the top of the list is the Imperial Duke Hyperton, or the former duke, Duke Hyperton has been placed in the ranks of rebels by Zachary, who has ascended the throne as Emperor of the Sirius Empire, and has been stripped of his title.

The targets on this wanted list are empire-wide, as some have already fled, while others are still sure to remain in Arthur's city.

They are all people who once supported the eldest prince Sean, or now against Zachary.

However, what stunned Quex the most was the person who was second on the wanted list.

Codename, Joker.

A member of the Assassin Alliance, a necromantic magician, his specific strength is unknown, his specific identity is unknown, and his specific appearance is unknown, and he is currently very likely to be located in Arthur City.

Attached to it is a portrait of a man wearing a black top hat and a black suit, emaciated and wearing a clown mask on his face.

"What a grudge this has against me. Kerx sighed with emotion: "How can he be second only to the Duke of the Empire who is a star-level powerhouse on the wanted list?"

Although he complained, the other party's attitude made him understand that his killing of Corgi Rosen definitely greatly interfered with the other party's plan and made Zachary really angry.

That is, his actions were successful.

"But how did they know that they were in Arthur City? Could it be that they were exposed when they contacted the prince?

But fortunately, he was cautious enough when he came into contact with the eldest prince, and the body of the man who was controlled by the demon control had been disposed of, leaving no clues for the other party.

"I don't have time to stay here all the time, though, and if Zachary keeps Arthur City under lockdown, I'll have to find a chance to escape. ”

With a rough plan for the future, Fox plans to go back to his new residence before thinking further about the detailed plan.

After all, he is now a wanted criminal, although he has not revealed his detailed identity, but it is not the same thing to hang around outside all the time.

•••••••••

The Royal Palace, the Great Hall.

Zachary sat on the throne, wearing a magnificent golden crown, and the momentum of a ruler in his body became more and more intense.

The ministers in the audience stood respectfully.

"What happened to the remnants of Sean's party who escaped?"

The head of the Obsidian Knights, Fedenita, stepped forward and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, with the cooperation of the city guards and the obsidian knights, the rebels have been caught one after another, and give your subordinates some time to ensure that they are all arrested. ”

"Hmph. Zachary snorted, and then, as if remembering something, "What about the 'clown'?"

"Well, the subordinates are derelict in their duties, because there is no specific information about the other party, and the traces of the other party have not been traced yet, and it has not been determined whether the other party is still in Arthur City. ”

A cold sweat appeared on Federney's forehead.

I don't know how this guy codenamed the clown offended His Majesty, making His Majesty angry every time he mentioned this name.

But the other party has no physical features, only that he likes to wear a clown mask when he acts, so how can he find it?

Of course, he only dared to say these words in his heart, and he didn't have the courage to really complain in front of Zachary.

Sure enough, hearing Federney's answer, Zachary's face suddenly sank, obviously very dissatisfied.

"Waste! ”

Just when Federney, the leader of the Obsidian Knights, looked panicked and didn't know how to answer, Candit, who had been standing quietly next to him, walked out.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have a suggestion. ”

Seeing that the person who stood up was Candit, Zachary's face looked slightly better.

"Oh, does the Chancellor have any ideas?"

Killing the eldest prince Sean, Canditer, who made great contributions, is already the Minister of Imperial Administration, holds great power, and is deeply reused by Zackery, which can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that old guy in prison?"

Candit smiled.

"Oh, I really forgot about that guy. ”

Zachary's eyes lit up, as if he had remembered something.

"Candit, I'll leave this matter to you, I'll get that guy by me, preferably alive. Zachary's eyes flashed: "I'm going to let him know the price of going against me!"

·······

At the southern wall of Arthur City.

Originally, it was supposed to be a place where people came and went, and a large number of people entered and left the city at all times.

But now, the tall gates were closed, and heavily armed soldiers took turns guarding them, and no one was allowed to enter or leave except in possession of the emperor's edict.

In front of an open-air teahouse, Fox watched the city gate and took a sip from the teacup in front of him.

"The defense is very tight, there are no loopholes, even if the Ring of Concealment can hide my aura, but it can't hide my body.

"Forcibly break through, that's even more impossible, as long as the other party delays me a little, I'm afraid that a high-level magician will come over and kill me to slag."

Kox even tried to use the discontent of the big merchants to put pressure on the empire to allow normal trade to be opened, and it would be much easier to get out of the way.

Unfortunately, the royal family and the big merchants reached an agreement to reduce the tax on goods as compensation for each other, and the opposition of the merchants gradually decreased.

After all, they don't want to be hostile to the authorities, and if they are too ignorant, I'm afraid they won't even get this, and I'm afraid they will have to spend the rest of their lives in prison.

"There should be a lot of people in Arthur City who are as wanted as me, and their situation should be worse than mine, I'm afraid they are all hiding and looking for an opportunity to escape. It would be too difficult to break through the blockade and escape from Arthur City with a single force. Can we try to get everybody together and work together?"

Kerks' eyes narrowed slightly.

"Boss, check out. ”

Placing the tea money on the table, Kerry got up and left.

Navigating the streets and alleys, it wasn't long before Kerry was back in his new home.

A house with a small yard, although it is much worse than a rented garden cottage, is not bad.

Entering his room, Nexus finds Bertha tidying up his bedroom.

"Ah, young master, you're back. ”

A smile appeared on Bertha's face.

Nexus looked at Bertha and muttered for a moment, as if organizing the language.

"Bertha, I may be looking for an opportunity to break through the blockade and leave Arthur City in the near future. ”

"Huh?" Bertha's expression was a hint of worry: "Young Master, when are we going to leave?"

"No, I mean, it can be very dangerous. ”

Bertha's eyes seemed a little confused, not knowing what Fox was trying to say.

"I don't have the ability to leave safely with you, after all, you're only a first-level magician. You've served me for so long, and the matter between us can be written off.

"This is Arthur City, the capital of the Sirius Empire, a bustling big city, far from home, far from your past, I can leave you a large sum of money, you can start a new life here, and I plan to go back. ”

Nexus finally said:

"There's no need for you to follow me anymore. ”

Bertha was silent, her hands stirring the hem of her skirt restlessly, pursing her lips tightly.

"Young master, do you think I'm in trouble?

“........”

Fox was a little embarrassed, after all, the other party had been together for a long time, and the other party was also very serious about helping him deal with daily life and other trivial matters, and he couldn't treat her as indifferently as he did at the beginning.

"I always have to leave the Sky Wolf Empire, can you still follow me all the time, don't you still want to seek revenge on your enemy?"

Nexus said helplessly.

"Do you want to go back to the Akatsuki Empire?"

Nexus nodded.

"My mission here is probably over. ”

Bertha was silent for a long time, and eventually, she turned away, and Lingx couldn't see his expression.

"Good. ”

Bertha walked out of Kers's room and gently closed the door.

Nicks didn't speak, tugged at his hat slightly, made it to bed, and sighed.

He's not a fool either, so he won't be unaware of the other party's thoughts.

However, he really doesn't have any special feelings for the other party, can he still take the other party back to the Red Moon Empire.

The two are destined not to cross paths in the future.

In this way, it is good for both of them.
