Chapter 68: Voices from the Inner City

When night falls, everything in the sky is obscured by a chaotic blackness, and all the world can see is speckled starlight and a half-toothed crescent moon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAgainst the black background, the towers of the inner city appear more solemn and majestic, and perhaps only by standing on the top floor of these high-rise buildings can you have a panoramic view of the entire Wildfire City. Once the members of the High Council liked to do so, now this feeling of all-encompassing was only experienced by the temporary lord, Prince Adrian.

He retracted his gaze from the city and walked into the room in the night breeze. This room dedicated to him is surrounded by tall bookshelves, and any space between them is filled with ornate weapons or Wildfire City insignia. However, his interest was clearly not in the heavy objects, and he walked slowly to a full-length mirror in the corner, which was much taller than he was.

Staring at his reddish eyes in the mirror, he couldn't help but reach out and touch them, they weren't that color before. He slowly untied the dagger at his waist, and unexpectedly cut a wound on his face, and blood spilled from the straight gap.

At that moment, a hand reached up to his cheek and gently rubbed his thumb over the wound. Immediately, the blood evaporated as if out of thin air, and the wound disappeared without a trace after the thumb passed, and what had just happened was like an illusion.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the study. So, the hand quickly withdrew into the mirror.

"Come in."

Adrian muttered as he strode over to the large desk, half-seated on it. Pick your eyes and look at the person who walked in at the door.

"Your Highness, the riot has been suppressed." The masked man bowed half-kneeling before replying. He didn't look like the guards in the inner city, he didn't even have the Wildfire City insignia on his body, and he looked more like a bounty hunter or an assassin floating in a sea of people. But since he was able to stand in this room in peace, it must have been through the prince's consent.

The prince tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop with a crisp sound. He looked a little nonchalant: "When?" ”

"Just this afternoon." Regardless of the other party's attitude, the masked man always maintained his respectful attitude, did not even raise his head, just lowered his head and looked at the lines on the ground, "According to the information I received, the person who received the riot, Urton, his head has been loaded into the explorer's backpack. ”

There was a staggered tapping sound, and then there was a sound. "Is that so? Are you sure there are no mob left? Adrian asked again.

"Pretty much sure. The underground mine where the thugs were hiding has collapsed, and there is absolutely no chance that the thugs underground will survive. As for the ground, the miasma has also dissipated, and the thugs that can be spotted by the eyes have long been divided by the explorers with sharp knives. The man replied one by one, controlling the pace of his speech, for fear that a word would slip through the other person's ears.

"Very good, what I hate the most is being betrayed." As he spoke, the prince's eyes looked at the other party with a little playfulness, causing the man's head to be buried lower, "By the way, those who took the task didn't run into some ...... after destroying the mining area." Interesting people? ”

The masked man furrowed his brows, and after a moment's thought, he replied cautiously, "No." ”

Adrian then held his clean chin and nodded, "Okay, got it." He then asked, "What about General Lamobis?" What happened to his intimate actions? ”

"Several groups of people sent by the old general have come out one after another, but some of them are too deeply poisoned, even if they are rescued, they can only wait for death." The man could answer such questions casually, and the information had been carefully sorted out several times before he came.

"Yes, the poison of the Abyss Poisoner is not such a joke." Fingers tapping at his brisk pace, Adrian smiled. There was a hint of banter in his smile, a joke on the old general who thought he could hide from the world.

And the masked man with his head buried in front of him jumped in his heart with the prince's words, he hadn't had time to report the matter of the abyss poisoner, how could the other party know so much? Although he was puzzled, as a smart man, he obediently kept his mouth shut. At this moment, the other party's voice sounded again:

"Well, that's the end of the riot. As for the man who cut off Urton's head, keep an eye on him and find an opportunity to bring him in, I need to talk to him. ”

Hearing such a request, the man couldn't help but look embarrassed and said, "I wasn't present in that battle at that time, so I can't be sure who killed Urton." Maybe it's a person, it's more likely a group of people. ”

"Do you still need me to teach you how to do this? Don't you know how to keep an eye on those men when they come to receive their heads? Adrian tilted his head and squinted.

"I'm afraid this can't be done, Your Highness ......" After speaking, the masked man suddenly felt a huge pressure coming to him, and immediately explained the explanation: "After everyone returned to Wildfire City, almost everyone took the loot to exchange for rewards, and only this most expensive reward has not been collected until now. Maybe ......"

The rest of the words don't need to be finished at all, neither of them is stupid. "It's cautious enough." Adrian sneered, "I don't know what to do, so forget it." Tell me, has there been any movement of Canglong recently? When the matter of the mine was over, the prince moved on to other topics.

"Yes, they do have some small moves, but they are still within the normal range. As for some of the things further afield, I don't know, all I can see is the superficial places. The masked man replied.

"Okay, if nothing else, you can go back." For such a report, the prince's face became more solemn. When all is well, it is the unseen dangers that are the most disturbing.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing." At this time, the masked man took the initiative to speak.

"Say."

"Your Highness, he seems ready to leave the wildfire." Providing additional intelligence is a means used by masked men to demonstrate their worth.

"Oh?" Sure enough, this information caught Adrian's attention, and even the small movements in his hands stopped. "Any idea where he's going?" He asked.

Seeing that he had successfully aroused the interest of his employer, he masked and hurriedly replied: "If you didn't guess wrong, it should be the Duchy of Myrdal." It seems that His Royal Highness is going to go there to seek a better physician to treat his deed. ”

After talking for so long, it was only at this time that the man raised his eyelids, hoping to see the other person's expression. When he realized that the prince in front of him had not asked him about the disease that needed to be treated, a hint of foreboding suddenly flashed through his mind. He hesitated again before asking, "Do you need to interfere with him?" ”

The prince, who was half-sitting on the table, thought for a moment, then immediately waved his hand: "No need, Duchy Myrdal...... Then let him go. It's not a good choice...... "What he wouldn't know was that when he talked about his brother, the red in his eyes would fade a little.

"The little man left first......" Before the words could be finished, the masked man noticed that there was an extra dagger in his chest. Your Highness? I...... I was wrong...... His Highness ......" Before he could finish speaking, the dagger kissed him on the throat again, and before he died, he only heard the indifferent voice of the other party in his ears:

"As I said, betrayal is something I can't tolerate. Do you think that if you don't say it, I won't know? My brother's deed was turned into a poisoner, why is this happening? What have they been through? The prince's voice paused mockingly, "Whatever happens, I haven't heard it from you. So the truth is, you've lost him! Fortunately, there was no accident to him, otherwise I would have all of you Nightingale buried for him! ”

The final explanation fell, and the masked man could no longer hear any more. On the other side, Adrian wiped the blood on the dagger with a delicate handkerchief and shouted, "Someone! ”

"My lord, what do you command?" The guards knew what kind of title would be more satisfying to their master. When they walked into the room, even though they had seen the corpses on the ground, they still didn't change their faces, and asked as if they hadn't seen anything.

"Take the body out."

When the prince blurted out at his command, the two guards seemed to regain their sight, walked straight to the corpse, and carefully carried it out. The reason why they moved so carefully was naturally because they were afraid that more blood would be spilled on the blankets on the ground.

It wasn't until the door was gently slammed shut again that Adrian walked back to the full-length mirror. He frowned, although most of the rewards he heard today were some good news, he could feel that the breath of the dragon was getting closer and closer.

At this moment, a pair of white hands stretched out from the mirror. The charming female voice said, "My dear, don't frown all the time, I like to see you smiling." ”

Facing the woman in the mirror, the prince was speechless, and he still stared ahead without saying a word. But apparently his eyes were not focused on the woman, he was just caught in a deep worry.

Then the woman spoke again: "The annoying fellow is gone, and no one will bother us anymore." If there is, I'll make them pay, just like before. With that, the beautiful woman stepped out of the mirror and lay down on Adrian's chest.

Although the prince's brow did not stretch because of this, his arm was still slowly resting on the other party's waist. "Thanks, Devris."

In another corner of Wildfire City, there is no cold wind from the heights, and everything is immersed in the warm lamp. Although this kind of life is not worth mentioning in the eyes of some people, for Yu Yi, this is the most ideal picture.

At the end of his long conversation with Bosling, Mi Wei and Debbie also happened to return home. As for Urton's head, he didn't bother to ask, and he was the only one who asked the distressed person.

At this point, he sat down at the table and watched Debbie lay out dish after meal on the table covered with white cloths. After waiting for all four members of the family to be seated, they can start munching on this long-lost feast.

"The ingredients prepared by the boss before were not used at all in the mining area, and now they are all cheaper for us." The chef looked at the satisfied look on his face when he watched the meal of several people, and he couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.

"Hardings, that guy just doesn't have a mouth." Yu Yi also smiled and took a sip of fresh milk, "Forget it, I'll make up for him after he comes back safely!" ”

"Idiot, not everyone is like you, like a gluttonous pig." Ignoring her same funny eating appearance, Mi Wei smiled and pointed at the grease stains on the corners of the other party's mouth and said.

And looking at the girl's smiling appearance, Yu Yi paused for a moment, it seemed that in the past few days, this was the first time that his little sister smiled at him like this. This is a picture that can often be seen in the past, but in recent days, I don't know what to do, but it has been hidden for a long time. It wasn't until today, when it reappeared, that he realized that he had begun to miss the smile in his heart.

He also smirked at the other party: "Yes, yes, I'm a pig." Then please, give me the roast chicken on your plate. ”

"Don't even think about it!" Mi Wei immediately used a knife and fork to protect her food, and it was at this time that she realized that she had just relaxed for a while, allowing herself to reveal the most natural posture again, which was also the appearance she had tried to restrain herself from revealing in the past few days. But I have to admit that this feeling is quite good, at least after not straining her face, she feels a lot more relaxed.

Debbie looked at the appearance of the two, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. I can't say why he reacted like this, but what he saw in front of him was exactly what he wanted to see.

As for Bo Bai Siling on the side, looking at the deed owner and Mi Wei talking and laughing, his bright eyes rolled a few times. She munched on her food silently and looked at the two of them again, not knowing what she was thinking, except that she sometimes snickered unnaturally.

At this moment, someone stupidly broke the good atmosphere at the table. Yu Yi calmly asked, "By the way, Mi Wei, do you know where there are unicorns near Wildfire City?" ”

"Unicorns? I want to think about it......" The pigtailed girl pursed her lips and thought hard.

Debbie asked curiously, "What are you asking for?" Do you also want to get a unicorn as a pet? ”

Before she could reach for the Covenant Master's sleeve, she heard him open his mouth and answer honestly, "It's not me, it's my pastor friend who said she wanted to tame a unicorn." I want to help her......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound of "ping". I saw Mi Wei put the tableware heavily on the plate and got up to leave: "I'm full." ”

"Hey, you haven't told me where to find a unicorn."

"Find it yourself!" Mi Wei glared at the other man viciously, flicked her long hair and walked up the stairs.

When the cook saw this scene, he could only exhale a mouthful of turbid air and shook his head. Then, with his chin propped up, he looked at the black-haired young man opposite.
