"Your Highness—"

"Don't come along, I'm a little tired, I'm going back to rest. ”

Ba Tuo refused to return to the hall from the apse, politely refused the retention of several nobles, turned his head to look at Ituni who was toasting him with a wine glass, snorted coldly, took the cloak from the waiter's hand, covered his body for a moment, and walked straight out of the door, the surrounding guards came to escort, he waved his hand open, the cool night breeze hit a somewhat drunk face, rode on the mount, turned around, looked back at the brightly lit palace, between the eyebrows, there was an unwilling cold.

"Why should I make such a great contribution to save the subjects of this country from disaster, but the throne will not give me ......."

The sound of gritting teeth squeezed out between his teeth, Ba Tuo stared up, and the second brother, who also walked out of the palace, snorted coldly, pulled the reins, and left with the cavalry under his command.

As the stone steps of the palace winded up, Ituni stood on the edge with his hands on his shoulders, looking at his brothers in the distance and his eyes narrowed.

"Leaving in such a hurry, I don't know what he and his father said in the apse, and now that he has made such a big contribution, it seems that the throne is his. ”

After standing for a while, he looked back at the palace, he had no intention of continuing to participate in the banquet, returned to the waiting car, and waved his hand: "Go back." ”

Leaving the palace area, the city of Huipu was still in the craze of victory over the ghouls at this time, the sexyly dressed girls stood on the side of the street and danced, soliciting guests, all kinds of snacks that can only be seen at night, steaming, Ituni's convoy passed from another street, originally sitting at the corner of the street, the figure of a stall, after paying the money, got up and walked into the alley not far away, and the blackbird on his shoulder also flew out at this time.

Adjacent Long Street.

The road is wide, there are relatively few pedestrians, the rolling wheels drive past, the magic lamps hanging in the corners of the car are shaking, and at a nearby alley entrance, in the gray, a figure is silently rushing out of it, and the ground paved with rocks explodes in an instant, and the body shoots like a cannonball.

Before the soldiers of the royal car could react, they collided with the rushing figure, and their bodies rolled on the car, and when they fell to the ground, in the carriage, Ituni, who heard the movement, opened the door: "What happened......

What greeted him was an unfamiliar face, almost instinctively went to close the door, stretched out a palm, grabbed him, and sat down together.

The chariot that had lost its driver gradually stopped, and the cavalry that reacted in the rear surrounded it, and in the carriage, Ituni, who had been pushed in, rolled around twice, struggled to get up in embarrassment, and hurriedly waved his hands at the opposite attacker a few times.

"I know who is the one who really attacked your kingdom?!"

The fist with black gloves stopped from the tip of his nose, and the enclosed space was blowing a strong wind, blowing the skin and flesh on Ituni's face unevenly, and the long hair of the shawl was also stroking back violently.

Ituni swallowed, feeling a warm stream of heat flow from his nostrils, but he didn't dare to move, just looking at the cloaked figure across from him, and half of his face in the shadow of his hood.

For a moment, I heard the other person speak a strange Tetrian language.

"What did you just say?"

"I ..... I know...... Ghouls you did ......" Ituni was uneasy to be stared at by the other party's one-eyed man, and waved his hand to the cavalry who rushed outside and shouted: "Stand down, I'm fine!"

The sound of hooves on the street gradually stopped, and Ituni, who was covered with cold sweat, saw that the other party had no intention of making a move, so he quickly turned his brain and organized his words.

"The royal family has ruled this country for fifteen generations, and nothing like this has ever happened, as soon as you appeared, I guessed that it was related to the ghouls outside, plus the death of the prince, it is not difficult to think that you are a person from the world he conquered......"

Speaking of this, his voice suddenly lowered: "....... You're here to get revenge, aren't you?"

Under the hood, Xia Yi nodded slightly, what the other party said, he did not deny it, the gloved hand reached over, twisted the other party's collar, and pulled it in front of him.

"Tell me, what do you mean by that? Say it, perhaps, I can give you a big gift?"

"How old?"

"The throne, is it big enough?"

Hearing this, Ituni's chest rose and fell violently, and his fingers pinched and pinched the corners of his robe, oozing a layer of cold sweat, but he finally made a certain decision.

He nodded: "I hope you keep your promise." ”

In fact, it is not difficult for Yituni to tell Xia Yi's identity, the Dark Qi royal family has ruled here for many years, and the people in this land rely on absorbing the nutrients of the Southern Continent to live a good life, even if they don't have a job, they can live very well, and the people of the Southern Continent can't get in here at all, so there can be no such thing as assassination.

There is only hatred, and there is only the brother who has just confirmed the news of death, Altoli Darkqi, the foreign land of the conquest, his death shows that the conquest failed, so it makes sense that the other party came to seek revenge with the help of the space node.

“...... I don't know what Altori has done to your world, but I do know that the worlds he has conquered have usually left nothing but destruction. ”

The skin and flesh under Xia Yi's right eye twitched slightly, and his voice was low and squeezed out: "Go on." ”

"He is not only the prince of this country, but also the servant of the temple of Glas, the upper kingdom is to rule the north and south continents by them, and the person who is appointed as the prince will become the servant of the temple and do things for them. ”

"To do it, to destroy other worlds?"

"No..... it seems that he seized something in a foreign land and offered it to the supreme god Glas, Arttori went to the temple once before he set out for your world, and if I guessed correctly, he was summoned by the gods and entrusted with the mission......"

"Say no more. ”

Xia Yi interrupted his continued words, his eyes were cold: "How do you go to that place?"

"It's on the top of Mount Kakaromodo behind the city, people can't go up, not even birds, there is an inscription spell that forbids the sky, and only the prince and the emperor have a teleportation node to connect there, of course, if you want to walk up on foot, but you have to pass through several guarded temples...... Is the transaction valid?"

"You're very skilled at deflecting hatred. ”

Xia Yi patted him on the face, "Don't worry, what I promised you, it will naturally be done, or it won't be long before you get the throne, maybe the deal will be concluded tonight, by the way, your son?"

"???" Ituni, who was abruptly changed the topic, was a little stunned, and didn't know how to answer, maybe the other party was not worried about him, so he wanted to threaten his family, he nodded: "I have two children, both of whom are very strong." ”

"Well, it's okay, just wait for the good news. ”

Xia Yi smiled at him suddenly, turned around and opened the door, and threw himself into the darkness, Yituni hurriedly rushed out, stood on the car, and looked at the dim street scene, the figure actually ran up on the wall, a few back and forth, and disappeared on the roof.

"Your Highness!" the guard officer called in a low voice.

The prince standing on the car shook his hand, "Don't chase, I'm just a friend, don't chase ......"

After repeating a sentence, he said, "Go back." ”

The convoy set off again, and at the top of the building that was far away, the cloak was slightly stroked and raised in the wind, and Xia Yi stepped on the edge of the roof with one foot, looking indifferently at the convoy passing from the long street.

"If not the culprit, then the executioner...... Do you really think I'm going to let you go?"

At the beginning, the plan was to kill one by one, stir up the chaos in the city, and take the opportunity to enter the palace, but after hearing the words and ambitions of the other party, Xia also changed his ways.

Anyway, they are all killings, but the methods of killing are different, as for the real culprit...... Xia Yi raised his head and looked at the outline of the huge mountain lurking in the darkness to the north of the city.

"I'll come to you with me......"

The night wind whined and whined over the city, and the city of Huipu gradually quieted down after the night, located in the official residence near the palace, and the wind ran through the corridors outside.

The light of the lamp cast the shadow of the man reflected on the window, and he raised his arm and smashed a wine glass to the ground, and the fragments flew and bounced to the man's feet, whirling with all his strength.

"Huh...... I can command troops, I can fight, and I just saved this country....... so treat me like this...... I was also filial in the past..... why don't you pass the throne to me!!"

The drunken figure, holding the heavy round table with both hands, flipped it over, and the fruits and delicate snacks placed on it were scattered all over the ground.

"I'm also a prince—"

Ba Tuo roared, staggered to his feet, pushed open the door and was about to leave, his footsteps stopped abruptly, his body was fixed in place, his ears vaguely seemed to hear something, and his drunken face turned slightly sideways, looking in the direction of the arsenal.

Immediately.

Stepping away, he stumbled towards that side, and someone came to help him halfway, but he reprimanded and retreated: "Let me leave, I don't want to see anyone!!"

His drunken eyes glared angrily at the guards around him, and then his arms pressed against the heavy iron door of the arsenal, and his arms exerted force, pushing forward hard, and the sound of heavy metal rubbing against the ground made the door of the arsenal open.

Ba Tu walked in, his eyes swept around, within the dim magic lamp, his eyes stayed on a weapon display table in front of him, a wooden box was quietly placed there, inside was the loot obtained from the previous repelling of that person, he put it here.

The door closed slowly, and the arsenal became unusually quiet.

In Batou's hazy drunken eyes, he vaguely saw a trace of cold air on the ground under his feet, and white gas seemed to surround him as if it had life.

"...... pick it up, defend their glory, protect their homeland...... Young Prince...... You need to be treated fairly, and only you..... worthy of that throne. ”

"Pick it up....."

"...... you will be immortal. ”

The wooden box opened, and the blue flames burned in the hollow skeleton's eye sockets, illuminating Bato's countenance, and at one point, he reached out and grasped the hilt of his sword.

Darkness breeds.

Frost white spreads upward.
