The report from the Monster Province will end on a rainy day.

Although people's hearts are also clouded with a dark layer of worry, they also have a general understanding of the actions of the royal family.

A part of the common people, who swayed left and right under the propaganda of sects and pro-emperors, also closed their mouths to discuss who was right and who was wrong.

The Pope is still two days away from the imperial capital, what kind of storm will be set off, Li Xuan can't imagine.

On this day, the emperor summoned Li Xuan and Huangfu Jue to the apse again.

"I sent someone to verify the list. ”

The emperor's expression could not tell whether he was happy or sad, but said lightly:

"These people, there should be no problem. ”

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, at least then the first responsibility was not on him.

As a result, yesterday's explanation of the current situation by the provincial governor, Li Xuan did not want to be involved in political disputes at all.

"So, who betrayed Your Majesty? The minister must find out the murderer behind the scenes and bring him to justice on the spot!"

Huang Fu Jue was more excited.

After all, he was born in a family of bureaucrats, and he was also a soldier who promised to give his life for the Begret Empire, and the chief of the Praetorian Guard who was born to defend the emperor.

In the face of this kind of thing, of course, he was anxious to share the emperor's worries.

"In this case, only the people of the Monster Province know the information. ”

The prime minister walked out slowly from the side.

"I know that Aiqing and Governor Tao are not on good terms, but I trust him very much in this matter. ”

The emperor frowned, and his warning tone made the prime minister a little uneasy.

If so, the prime minister himself is also one of the insiders.

"No, Your Majesty, that's not what the old minister meant. ”

The old man turned his gaze to Li Xuan: "Is it possible that Director Li accidentally revealed it to someone with a heart?"

"Pay attention to what you say, Prime Minister!"

Huang Fu said: "Captain Li has been with me for the past few days looking for team members and cooperating with training, and there are only a handful of people I have come into contact with. ”

"Even as a prime minister, the crime of defamation and defamation is established. ”

The prime minister didn't show any displeasure, but just sighed: "What a prick." ”

He turned to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, is it possible that someone else from the Demon Hunt Province, or a member of the Demon Hunting Team, leaked it before it was reported?"

"There are many sects inside and outside the imperial capital, and if you miss a word, you may be caught. ”

When the emperor heard this, he said thoughtfully: "It's not unreasonable, but if you want to track it down, it will take too long and it's not worth it." ”

If you have to hold on to this, I'm afraid that the Pope has already come to the emperor.

Li Xuan originally thought that he could go back by moving some rescue troops here, but he didn't expect to be involved in this matter.

The contradiction between power and faith.

I don't know if such a fragile balance is good or bad for the people.

"That's right, the old minister didn't come here to discuss the issue of spies. ”

The prime minister nodded: "How does Your Majesty plan to greet the Pope?"

"I really haven't thought about this matter yet, I want to hear what Aiqing has to say. ”

The prime minister said: "It's better to lure him to the imperial capital and take the opportunity to put him under house arrest." ”

The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, as long as you control this old thief, anything can be solved." ”

"It's not easy to get this old thief under control. ”

"Is Your Majesty worried about the apologists around the Pope?"

The Emperor nodded.

The selection of apologists was even more stringent than that of the Praetorian Guards.

Its combat effectiveness is placed in the army, and it can serve as a commander of a thousand commanders, or even the rank of deputy commander.

What's more, with the addition of the [Heavenly Judge] this time, if you want to control the Pope in the imperial capital where the sect is still strong, the difficulty is not ordinarily high.

"For the other apologists, the Praetorian Guards can barely resist by relying on their numerical superiority, but as for Dai Wangjue. ”

The prime minister looked at Huang Fuju: "It's a pity that the general has joined the demon hunting team and will set off soon." ”

The Pope's subordinates can only match the combat power of Emperor Fu Jue, and the only one under the emperor's command can fight against Dai Fu Jue.

The emperor also looked at Huang Fu Jue, who had a complicated face.

Today is already the fourteenth, and when the Pope comes the day after tomorrow, Huang Fu Jue should set off to hunt down the archmage in Rock County.

Now that he is a member of the demon hunting team, he shifts his gaze to the captain Li Xuan.

Li Xuan feels like the protagonist in the hero Tan, and anything can be involved in him.

His face was thoughtful, and he bought a horse in his heart.

Everyone waited for Li Xuan's answer.

In the end, Li Xuan compromised: "The demon hunting team is willing to wait for some more time, and the team member Huang Fu Jue can help His Majesty sweep away the chaotic party." ”

"Order!"

Huangfu Jue made a military salute in a matter-of-fact manner, which made Li Xuan a little overwhelmed.

Even if Li Xuan insisted on leaving, the emperor couldn't do anything about him.

After all, the Ministry of Monsters does not need the emperor's approval at all, even the demon hunting team established under the emperor's orders is no exception.

Because the Demon Hunting Team is still under the management of the Monster Province.

Hearing Li Xuan's relief, the emperor leaned back in his chair with relief: "With General Huangfu here, I can rest assured." ”

The prime minister smiled inscrutablely on the side.

Li Xuan had a hunch that he was being arranged by someone from beginning to end.

Anyway, isn't my mission to deal with the Grand Magician?

"Whew!"

The desolate howl of wolves streaked across the red sky.

The dark earth, which had been shrouded in dark clouds, was ignited by a huge fireball.

It was a house dominated by flames.

Even though the sky was still drizzling, the flames were still getting stronger.

Like a flame troll from hell, it swallows the house into its belly, slowly disintegrating and burning it out.

At that moment, a dark shadow rushed out of the collapsed house in the face of raging flames.

"Action. ”

The killer who had been hiding around for a long time naturally did not think that the target would be burned to death by a simple fire, and kept an eye on it all the time.

At the sound of an order, dozens of cold lights reflecting the flames approached.

But stopped ten steps in front of the target.

This is the distance at which they can see the target clearly.

It's not a sloppy and embarrassed middle-aged man as they imagined.

Rather, it is a black wolf that walks upright and is two and a half meters high.

The black wolf's green eyes in the night looked like they were tired, but they were instantly filled with hatred when they saw them.

The muscles of the whole body swelled, and the "click" between the bones and joints drowned out the explosion of flames behind them.

Like an unshakable hill, it stands in front of all the assassins.

"Stand back, get ready for silver weapons!"

The men in black retreated one after another, distancing themselves from the black wolf.

There is more than one intelligent race in this world, human beings.

Far to the west, there are countless tribal alliances of various subhumans to confront the Lear alliance of humans.

The one in front of me is the [Werewolf] that belongs to the higher Asians, and has the ability to switch between humans and wolves.

Although ordinary weapons can also cause damage, the fatal injuries of human standards are only minor injuries of werewolves.

The biggest reason is the regenerative ability of werewolves, followed by the physical strength that is many times stronger than ordinary people.

With a silver weapon, you can stop the werewolf's wounds from regenerating for a short time.

In this case, it is most effective to kill the werewolf.

At the same time, silver weapons are also useful against vampires, but on a different principle.

These professional assassins were also aware of the possibility of such contingencies during their training, and reacted immediately.

Knowing their intentions, the werewolves immediately rushed forward to attack.

Due to the difference in foot strength, the assassins had just taken out the silver metal shell when the werewolves were already in front of them.

Even though he has been trained in evasion and night vision, he is still inferior to the powerful werewolf in this regard.

The assassins battled the werewolves while attaching silver shells to their swords.

In the process, the werewolf's claws had already torn open the throats of half of the people.

During this period, although the sword blade counterattacked, the painless skin trauma did not affect the werewolf's movements.

"Die!"

The others who had installed the silver sword began to counterattack the werewolf, and in the face of the threat of the silver sword, the werewolf's movements slowed down a lot.

Coupled with a well-trained cooperative attack, and the killer's necessary agility, the werewolf fell into a disadvantage for a while.

The sharp werewolf let out an angry roar, but it was surrounded by assassins, and it was constantly pierced into its body by a sword with a silver shell.

In a short time, countless more burning wounds appeared.

As the werewolves' movements gradually slowed down, the assassins felt that victory was in their hands.

The attack became more and more intense, and the eyes were constantly watching the prey's every move, and each sword wanted to kill it.

They enjoy this kind of trapped beast battle, which can sharpen their abilities.

And yet—

"Ah!!h

The screams of his companions rang out, and the man with blood sprayed from the carotid artery was thrown into the air.

Crossing the arc of death, he fell to the ground a few steps away.

Due to the fierce fighting, the assassins did not notice the approach of the second werewolf.

The later werewolves were smaller than the first, but a head taller than them.

The same sharp claws, indicating that it is also a strong opponent.

When the assassins were stunned, the besieged werewolves took the opportunity to let out a roar that shook everyone's eardrums and couldn't help but retreat.

The werewolf swung its claws and attempted to attack the leader, but the weakened strength was bounced back by the silver sword.

"Retreat!"

The assassin at the head understood the fact that he could not defeat two werewolves at the same time, and immediately gave the order to leave.

The black-clothed men abandoned the encirclement, shrank like dark arrows into the shadows, and fled separately in the complex forest.

The besieged werewolf wanted to chase and kill, but the injuries were too serious, and he was far from being able to pursue.

The later werewolf leaned down, picked up the badly injured werewolf, and whispered a few words in his ear.

In the night when it was still drizzling, they held each other and staggered away from the area where the flames were shining.

Listening to the sound of the dripping rain, Li Xuan returned from the window to Tao Xinping and sat down.

It's nightfall, and the rain doesn't look like it's going to stop.

It was supposed to leave tomorrow, but it was postponed because of the Pope's actions.

Li Xuan felt that he had now deviated from the purpose of coming here.

"Governor Tao, what do you think of the Great Magician?"

Since Li Xuan stood by the window and pondered, Tao Xinping had not said a word.

Seeing that he suddenly asked, after a moment of contemplation, he said, "There is no special emotion. ”

This is telling the truth.

Neither hated nor loved.

As far as being an official of the Begret Empire and a believer in the Holy Emperor's Church, he should be very disgusted with the Great Magi;

However, as a member of the Monster Province, the Great Mage is far better than the Immortal Emperor in terms of fighting monsters.

"And what do you think of Your Majesty and them?"

Tao Xinping knew that "they" meant the prime minister, the pope and others.

He shrugged and said, "I don't feel any emotion for the Great Magician. ”

When I heard the word "great magician", the first thing I thought about was not how to purge it, but the endless infighting.

Even use the great magician and the people as bargaining chips to play on the chessboard of power.

Only the Demon Hunting Association is sensitive to the great magician.

Li Xuan sighed and stopped talking.

Tao Xinping then asked, "What about you?" Li Xuan, what do you think of him?"

"I feel like I can negotiate with him. ”

Li Xuan replied: "I want to know his inner thoughts, and through the analysis of the case, I don't think he is a murderous devil." ”

"It's dangerous to put your kind of thinking out there. ”

Tao Xinping said helplessly: "But it's a good idea for me." ”

"Thank you. ”

"Li Xuan, I can see that you are not interested in political power. ”

"That's true. ”

"So whether it's here, or back in the monster bureau, you don't get too involved in this kind of thing. ”

"But now in this situation, I have to join. ”

"You need to be clear about what you're thinking, what you're swinging your sword for. So that you don't get lost in the maelstrom. ”

The earnest words made Li Xuan look at the senior, and his eyes gradually changed from trance to firm.

"I remember, my lord. ”
