"Who?!" Leoria looked at the clear sky, and the clusters of flowers were still in the moonlight, and there was nothing unusual around them. However, he believed that Qingtian would not shout out that sentence for no reason, so he vigilantly pulled the girl behind him and said, "I'll go over and take a look, you go to a safe place in the tower and wait for me."www.biquge.info ”

With that, Leoria patted Clear Sky on the shoulder and hurried into the depths of the garden.

Clear Sky stayed where he was and hesitated for a few seconds, thinking about his low level, and finally chose to follow Leoria's advice and return to the welcome tower first, then turned around and walked in the opposite direction to Leolia's walking.

After a few steps, the open stone gate at the entrance of the welcome tower appeared in front of me, and on either side of the door there should have been a golden-armored guard, but now there was no trace.

[Is it a shift change?] Clear Sky remembers that there will be golden armor guards patrolling and changing shifts in the welcome tower area every hour, and there is also a personal guard brought by the princess in the tower to patrol, which makes people feel safe and secure in the tower area and the surrounding area. But...... On this bright night tonight, the tower area at this moment suddenly became uninhabited, and although that state made Qingkong feel a little wary, he still comforted himself, and persuaded himself not to think about it, to scare himself.

So, without hesitation, she ran towards the welcome tower. A few steps forward, the doorway of the welcome tower appeared in front of her, and not only that, but she seemed to see a black corner of her clothes flashing around the corner.

It was just a phantom for a moment, like a black shadow seen in the garden, a moment that flashed by.

But this time, Sunny Sky was sure that he was not dazzled, and unconsciously shouted: "Assassin! - There are Assassins!! ――”

Before the second scream fell, Qingtian suddenly felt a cool air behind her—she reflexively turned her head, and immediately met a strange cat-faced mask, on which a pair of glowing red eyes were looking at her in a daze......

That was the last image that Clear Sky remembered before he fell unconscious.

When she woke up again, Clear Sky was lying in Leolia's one-room guard's room, and Leoria was the only one sitting on the edge of the bed, asking her with concern, "Are you awake?" ”

"Men in Black...... A strange man in black, with a cat-face mask...... "The girl struggled to her feet, trying to describe what she saw.

"I know." Leoria replied to him, "Princess Vanessa was attacked by the Assassins shortly after you fell unconscious. ”

"What?!" Qingtian didn't care about the physical discomfort, and hurriedly asked, "Is Her Royal Highness the princess okay?" ”

"Thankfully, your screams drew a large number of guards, and the Assassin was intercepted the moment he broke into the princess's bedchamber. However, that person is really skilled, he has escaped the search of a large number of pursuers, and the entire Apocalypse King City has been fully guarded, but he has not been found until now......" Leoria replied with a low eye, "At present, you should be the only one who has a positive encounter with him, and everyone else only sees the silhouette of the figure, which is really weird." ”

Qingkong sighed unconsciously after hearing this, and lowered his head and fell silent.

Leoria continued: "The princess has told me to hide your presence, so I won't let you go through any inquiries, and you can recover here with peace of mind. Don't go out tonight lest you alarm the royal family - Prince Johnny had heard of the princess's assassination and was already on his way to offer his respects, and I guess the Welskin rider had arrived at the welcome tower and began to inquire for clues...... I'll stay here until they've searched the house, and then I'll have to go out and cooperate with the investigation. Later, when someone knocks on the door, you can hide in the closet and come out when I can deal with these people. ”

"Understood." Clear Sky said, rubbing his faintly aching temples.

Leoria's so-called search soon arrived, and when there was a knock on the door, Clear Sky immediately hid in the only closet in the house, and waited for the words outside the cabinet to fall, and the sound of the door closing, before leaving.

After this round of searching, Leoria went out to help with the search.

About two hours later, just as the clear sky was about to go to sleep, there was another knock at the door, accompanied by Leolia's soft call.

Sunny Sky put on her veil and carefully opened the door, and saw Leoria say to her, "Princess Vanessa has summoned us to come and ask questions. ”

The noise in the tower had subsided, and although the patrolling guards seemed to have doubled, the Welskin Rider and Prince Johnny seemed to have left the tower.

Pushing open the door of the princess's room, Princess Vanessa was half-lying on the sofa chair in front of the coffee table, her face a little pale.

Seeing Clear Sky entering, she immediately asked, "Clear Sky, quickly describe to me, what kind of demon is the assassin you saw?!" ”

Clear Sky struggled to recall for a long time, and replied, "It's about the same height as me, and the body shape is about the same, maybe it's a girl?" I'm not sure...... She was dressed in black and wore a cat-face mask, so she couldn't see her face at all, and she couldn't distinguish ......between men and women." )
