In the evening, a small garden house in the middle of the imperial capital is brightly lit, the house covers a small area, except that the white-painted walls are slightly shabby compared to the gold decorations that can be found everywhere in the upper town, but the carefully cleaned windows and immaculate steps reflect the careful and industrious work of the owner, who is not a wealthy family but also looks decent and refined. Street lamps hang in front of the door, emitting a faint glow. Coupled with the flowers and plants placed next to the house, it gives people a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

The firewood burning in the fireplace in the house dispelled the cold outside the imperial capital, and people almost didn't want to go out if they stayed here. Almost all of the members of the hunter arrived, and Estes seemed to have something going on, and the secret police, who had no latest directives, gathered at Porus's house

"Please use tea"

"Well, okay, thank you" After Qiuchen thanked him, he took the tea handed by Porus's wife, and after taking a sip, he nodded, "Very good, Mr. Porus is so happy to have a wife like you"

"How can there be" Porus's wife smiled embarrassedly, and Porus scratched the back of his head embarrassedly when he heard the praise, and the sense of happiness overflowed with joy. It's just compared to the flashbang on Porus's side that can light up the eyes of a blind dog. Will, who sat on the other side of the fireplace, looked loveless, and his whole person looked extremely pale from beginning to end

"Hey, Will, what's wrong with you" Qiuchen touched Will's shoulder with the hand holding the teacup. Porus's wife returned to her inner chamber after the tea, and seemed to have gone to prepare for supper. At the other end of the wooden table, Lan was talking to Porus, Black Hitomi was still eating cookies silently, and Porus's lovely daughter was playing with Seleuc. Only Will lowered his head, holding the teacup in his hand without saying a word, at this time, it would be more suitable if there was another autumn wind blowing the atmosphere of falling leaves

Is it a single dog who is blinded by Bright......

"I ...... How could something happen......" Will's voice was weak. His arm holding the teacup trembled, and the teacup squeaked with his trembling. Just when Qiuchen was thinking about whether he should avoid the teacup being accidentally destroyed by Will's private property in the Porus family, Will raised his head and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, touched the corners of his mouth, stood up, stretched out his thumb and looked up and laughed, "How could I be hit because of such a trivial matter!" I'm a man who fights the dangerous species of pirates on the sea! Fighting is my romance! ”

“……”

Attracted by Will's voice, the black pupil had a biscuit in his mouth, raised his head and looked at Will expressionlessly, and then glanced at Qiu Chen

"It's pitiful"*2

"Ha~ Actually, Qiuchen, you are also very sad in your heart" Will picked his bangs and snorted lightly, "Seeing that you are so young, you must not have a girlfriend, don't think that you can divert your attention by laughing at me" Will stretched out a finger "I have seen a lot of this tactic when fighting at sea, don't underestimate me!" ”

Qiuchen sighed, patted the back of his hand, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking angle, "Although I don't want to hit you, I have to tell you that I already have a girlfriend, her name is Ah Qiu, she is a very good girl, well, very good~"

Will's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and after half a sound, he took a deep breath, but in his tone, it was not so much refuting Qiu Chen, but more self-comforting, "Hmph, this way of deceiving people is really too backward, there are many dangerous species on the sea that will blempty like you, but every time I can see through it!" ”

Qiu Chen's expressionless applause "Well, it's amazing"

"No sincerity......," Will sighed, and returned to his chair listlessly, bending over as if to tuck himself into the chair

"Don't be so sad, Will" Qiuchen pressed Will's shoulder and leaned over to the side, and pointed with his thumb to the black pupil who continued to eat cookies quietly, "This is a ready-made opportunity, boy, are you sure you don't take advantage of it, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again~"

"No, you must not know the black pupil to say that" Will twitched the corners of his mouth, and turned his face away

"Oh~ really?" Qiu Chen's eyes widened curiously, could it be that this quiet-looking girl had some story. Just when he was bored and was about to dig deeper, suddenly in the corner of his eye, a green figure flashed out of the window

"Of course," Will's voice was weak, "if you can get the black pupil to take her attention away from the biscuit when you don't have a task, I'll throw your admiration for the five-body body...... Hey, you're looking... Where? ”

Will hadn't finished speaking, but found that Qiu Chen's attention had already been on the window. He turned his head curiously, and looked at the window with Qiu Chen's line of sight, "Outside...... He frowned, "Is there anything......?"

"No, I want to ......" Qiuchen closed his eyes and thought for a while, shaking his head "Will, I'll go out and come back later" As he spoke, Qiuchen stood up and walked to the door

"Wait, I'll watch you for the task Captain Estes gave us......," Will held out his hand to stop Autumn Dust

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be back" Qiuchen shrugged and snapped his fingers, "If I run away, you go directly to your captain and let her tie me up, don't you have confidence in the power of Estes?"

"Tied up by Captain Estes" Will remembered the first time his group saw Estes, and he was kicked away by her, and Estes used his hands to estimate that the entire hunter group would not be able to beat her, and Estes's strange tendencies were also known to everyone. In an instant, there was a hint of pity in Will's eyes when he looked at Qiuchen, "You, are you sure you want to do this?" ”

"Don't worry" Qiuchen made a gesture that was okay, opened the door, and the cool breeze poured into the hut, Will couldn't help but shiver "I'll be back soon"

Before the cool breeze dissipated the heat in the house, Qiuchen walked out of the house, thinking back to the figure he had just seen, the person he almost forgot, although he had known him, Qiuchen didn't want to see him here anyway

Qiuchen stood on the steps, looking at his surroundings. Not far from the hut was a park, and the dense woods blocked his view. Elsewhere there is an open lawn with only a few street lamps, across which there is a straight path, and beyond is another residential area

It was probably less than thirty seconds from the time he saw the figure to the time he came out, and it was unlikely that he would run into the residential area--- if that person really wanted to lure Qiu Chen out

"Ai Wen, did you see it clearly just now" Qiu Chen put one hand on his waist, and his spiritual power was slowly released around him, searching all the corners of the vicinity little by little

[I didn't find anything] Ai Wen's confused voice sounded in Qiu Chen's head [Probing...... No creatures, are you sure you're not mistaken]

"It should be right......" Qiuchen paced towards the woods, seeing that Ai Wen's detection found nothing, he began to be uncertain in his heart, if it was to talk about spiritual power detection, Ai Wen didn't know where to go higher than him, but she said that no one ......

Could it be that you are really wrong? Maybe it's just a kid running by, or maybe it's a thief who just got his hands on it

Relieved, Qiuchen was ready to go to the opposite woods to take a casual look and go back, Nero sent him a message during the day today that the former minister Joli was going to officially go to the court to confront the minister in four days, and almost all the officials in the imperial capital except the emperor knew about it. And it is quite possible that it will be done openly in the courtyard of the Royal Palace, when Minister Earnest will naturally appear. This is a good opportunity for Qiu Chen

"Are you so sure I'm gone?"

Suddenly, a magnetic voice sounded from behind Qiu Chen's ears against his ears

What people!?

Qiu Chen's heart was shocked, but his long-term combat experience made him not subconsciously turn around, but bent forward like a predatory cheetah. Pounce forward. He felt a wave and a cool breeze swept through the back of his head

Dodging the sneak attack, Qiuchen rolled on the ground to widen the distance, and turned his body to allow him to face the attacker, while holding the Ember Messenger in both hands, moving out of a parry posture, ready for the next attack

His own spiritual detection did not find the other party, and even Ai Wen's spiritual detection did not find the other party, which means that the attacker perfectly avoided Qiu Chen's vigilance, which means that he can stab Qiu Chen in the back without noticing, and Qiu Chen can't find it at all!

Terrifying strength, definitely not the natives of this world, Bud and Estes are estimated to have no chance of winning in the face of his attack

"Your reaction is good" The magnetic voice sounded again, and Qiu Chen also took the opportunity to see his face clearly

The golden staff of Odin was across his chest, his long pale white hair was stretched all the way to his legs, his skin was as white as his long hair, and his dark green surgical gown was put on his thin body, and his whole body was floating in mid-air, looking down at Qiu Chen

"Sure enough, it's you" Qiu Chen looked at the man in front of him with a complicated mood, this was the last person he wanted to see. It's just that what Qiuchen is afraid of is not his strength, but his incredible wisdom

"Aresta. Crowley ......"
