On the southwestern outskirts, a soldier some distance ahead of the Priority Force behaved sneakily, staring left and right at no one, quietly unleashing his magic between his hands.

As a gifted person, he didn't chant a mantra, and when he raised his hand slightly, a fog that was not too thick would be generated in the nearby vacant space, obstructing his vision in the distance.

The rear march was still far away, and the soldiers felt a moment of silence in fear.

brush, the object swept through the air.

Suddenly, a meteor hammer pierced through the fog, and the spikes cut the fog out of several lines where the white mist meets the air, and struck the soldier's head unexpectedly, scattering blood and bones, killing him instantly.

"Who's where!?"

Due to the sound of the attack and the interrupted screams of the soldiers before they died, the large army rushed to hear the news.

"Ah, it's a rebel!" The troops in front could faintly see the massive beastmen with their hands wrapped around the chain of the meteor hammer.

It is covered with blond body hair and black circles with spots.

"Wait, that's Ika!" Eddie, who was most familiar with the shape, shouted.

He ordered the soldiers with crossbows and halberds to be relieved of the attack.

"Mistress Add." Ika, the leopard man, turned around and shouted in a low voice.

"Why are you here...?"

Deputy Commander Kelsen stayed beside Eddie in surprise, he knew Ika's terrifying prowess, and this was the first time he had seen him from outside the arena at such a close distance. I can't help but rejoice that Ika is a slave of Archon Qiu Yi, not a member of the rebels.

But the fog faded, allowing him to find the corpses of soldiers on the ground, vetoing his idea.

"Nope! What did you do!? Kelsen roared. For the time being, I can't see why the fog has faded.

Add and the rest of the soldiers also found the unrecognizable body. Again on alert raised his weapon.

Ika didn't speak, and stood still for two seconds, the fog around him changed from faint to completely subsided, disappearing one by one.

Soon, the sky was blue again.

"The fog was created by this guy," Ika said, pointing to the corpse on the ground.

"What," the crowd said in amazement.

"You're saying that the people in our troops have created the fog!?" Eddie asked incredulously.

"I smelled the exotic smell of him and concluded that he was not a Zeber, and I took a closer look as I passed."

The environment at the junction of the woods and the plains was completely visible, and from the front of the army of 10,000 people, you could see the end of the long black crowd.

Ika's voice was wide, and a burst of light lit up on the surface of the corpse, dissipating, revealing his original armor attire, the eagle coat of arms breastplate of the Standdy Kingdom.

This surprised Eddie's front army.

Eddie was also stunned for a moment, he suddenly couldn't figure out what was going on, wasn't the enemy a subhuman rebel!? Why are there Standy soldiers?

"Maybe it has something to do with why I'm here..."Ika walked towards Eddie with a solemn demeanor.

"Aren't you kept in the gladiatorial arena under strict guard?" Eddie came back to his senses and asked, "All gladiators, including you, have been ordered not to disobey the administrator of the gladiatorial arena, you can't be a prison escape, right!?" How? ”

"Orders don't work anymore." Ika was five paces away.

The soldiers swallowed nervously, their raised spears pointed at him, and this time at Kelsen's orders, the soldiers stepped back some distance - on their alert until they explained the puzzling matter.

"What did you do? Can you disobey orders and leave the arena and come to me? Eddie asked, too, with his hair standing on end.

"You should ask me what's going on, Lord Add." Ika checked his face and showed his neck, "Did you see that?" My slave sigil is gone. ”

"This? Father, he treats you..."

"Master Qiu Yi didn't give me a curse," Ika interrupted and denied, "then there's only one possibility. ”

"How could it be...!" Add's eyes widened in panic, and the whole city knew that the curse mark was gone, and there was only another possibility than to undo it.

"Yes, I can feel it," Ika gave a regretful look, "Lord Qiu Yi is dead. ”

……

By noon the next day, the dilapidated and cluttered throne room of the castle had been cleaned up by the servants and guards.

The two rows of the hall are lined with long tables covered with white cloth, filled with delicacies and accessories.

According to Palmer's doppelganger, he and the king decided to make an exchange today - Xia Zuo handed over Rodney as a thank you, and the castle opened the Mithril vault for Xia Zuo to find the magic he requested.

But the doppelganger Raven conveys that King Charles will express the most solemn feast. Although Xia Zuo said that there was no need to be so cumbersome, as long as Palmer could open the secret vault, the other party still insisted.

Now that you can see the king on the spot, you don't have to worry about it... Xia Zuo agreed first.

At this time, Xia Zuo led Rodney, whose hands were bound by ropes, and stepped into the throne hall through the gate.

There were no guards on the scene, only servants who arranged and served, and it felt very deserted. It's really unthinkable, this is what Palmer describes as a "grand banquet".

In the guest seats, only two pairs of eyes looked at the two people who entered the entrance. Eddie and Kelson, who returned yesterday, were particularly angry, and he wanted to cut Rodney with a thousand knives in his eyes.

Yesterday, the fog was finally lifted, and no trace of the subhumans was found in the southwestern suburbs, so he had to lead the army back. When he returned, he found that the state of the palace had changed drastically, and His Majesty had disappeared, only to meet Palmer's doppelganger here.

From Palmer's mouth, he learned what had happened - Rodney attacked his ministers, and the dead included the consul Qiu Yi.

At that time, Eddie was eager to take revenge in person, and ordered Ika, slash iron... and all their beast slaves, go find Xia Zuo and Rodney, ask him to hand over Rodney, and make a straightforward ruling on Rodney.

However, Pammel resists Eddie's impulse, telling him that today's feast is necessary and cannot be thwarted.

Eddie and Kelsen weren't too afraid of Rodney's overt appearance, even though his shoulder injury had been healed by Xia Zuo's potion... Because they knew that Rodney could not use that unpredictable magic now, and was only a swordsman with high swordsmanship, so there was nothing to fear.

Both Xia Zuo and Rodney remained calm, and the latter gave people the feeling of seeing death at home. They walked to the center of the hall, where the servant delivered the message, and Palmer himself waited for King Charles to come out the back door of the throne.

When the door opened, King Charles looked at Rodney's figure and clenched his fists in the shadows behind the door, and the squire could almost hear grinding his teeth.

However, King Charles quickly calmed down, and the next banquet was to entertain the distinguished guests without emotion, and he was also a hero of the Kingdom of Andoo.

This is the first time Xia Zuo has seen the king after getting the secret vault, and he feels that it is really not easy...

Accompanying the king and Palmel was a familiar face, the grey-robed mage Grey Wild.

He and Palmer walked separately around the king, and glanced at Xia Zuo in the hall uneasily, which was not the emotional look that should be when he reunited with an acquaintance, as if he had something on his mind.

"Can we begin?" Seeing that the king sat down and was about to open his mouth to say polite words and beautiful words, Xia Zuo took the initiative to interrupt and urged.

"Don't be too anxious, Xia Zuo, the hero of the kingdom," Pamel said, although the other party's attitude was rude to the king, he was like that before, and the situation today is not easy to blame, "And you forgot?" The Mithril vault is not in the castle right now, and after the banquet, I will accompany you to open the vault before it is too late......"

As soon as Palmer's words fell, there was a loud movement outside the throne hall that flapped its wings and landed, that is, the dragon song holding the Mithril vault high had just landed, and the Mithril vault was placed in front of the throne hall, and the heavy weight made the earth tremble, and in the throne hall, the tableware on the long table was shaken.
