In the eastern part of the imperial capital, there is a deserted mountain forest, because few people care about it, so this mountain forest still retains a very primitive ecological landform.

In the lush jungle, you can often see small animals of different shapes and colors that cannot be seen in the city, and walk through them.

A cute looking bird is perched on a branch, ready to give another a loving hug.

It raised its head and let out a high-pitched, bright and pleasant call, and at the same time, it spread its wings and kept shaking, showing its masculine charm.

When the little female bird not far away saw it, she seemed a little uninterested, and was obviously not interested in it.

The male bird was a little anxious when he saw this, why didn't this old girl react at all?

Thinking of this, this little bird from a certain northeast couldn't help but dance the courtship dance he developed excitedly.

It's just that he had just jumped for a while, and suddenly a figure larger than this little bird suddenly swooped down in the sky.

The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves on the suddenly flying figure, glowing with blinding silver.

It's the Silverclaw, it's Ciel!!

"Whoosh!!"

Hill flew past the bird like a bullet, and the rapid speed of the air drove a powerful air current, instantly pushing the little bird that had been scratching its head a second before from the branch of the tree in an instant.

The moment the bird fell, its heart was broken, because he knew that he must have fallen out of love!

And all of this is to blame on that damn silverclaw demon!!

You tiger guy, what are you doing in such a hurry!!Brother's old sister has run away!!You say it every day......

Tsk, this bird is probably really from some northeast region......

Hill waved his streamlined wings and shuttled through the dense forest at great speed, and the leafy aerial path did not bother Hill in any way.

He was like a well-trained Ranger, nimbly navigating through these crevices.

It wasn't until Ciel flew to a cave in the middle of the forest that he slowed down, and then flapped his wings and stopped on a large tree in front of the cave.

"Squeak!!"

Although Ciel is different from the other Silverclaw, his cry is still as bad as the other Silverclaw.

And this peculiar cry also called out a person from the cave.

The man was wearing a cloak, a high ponytail, a cold face, and a pair of glasses, it was Isabel!

When Ciel saw Isabel come out of the cave, he flew straight towards her.

Seeing this, Isabel unhurriedly stretched out her left hand wearing an arm guard, and Hill stopped firmly on Isabel's left forearm.

"Good work. ”

Isabel said to Hill with a calm face, and then took the small paper scroll it brought from Hill's feet, and then unfolded it to look at it, her expression changed slightly.

She stayed where she was for a moment, as if thinking about something, before she came to her senses and said to Ciel, "You wait a minute. ”

Hill nodded very humanely, and then flew to the branch where he had just stopped, and waited quietly.

Isabel nodded to it, then rolled over and entered the cave.

The cave is not large, and there is not much to visit in it, except for the smell of medicine as soon as you enter it, there is no trace of artificiality.

In the cave lay a man, his naked upper body wrapped in many bandages, and there were traces of blood spilling from the bandages, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.

"Father, news has come from Uncle Hicks. ”

Isabel solemnly handed the small paper scroll in her hand to the injured man, who turned out to be Isabel's father, Hofkins!!

Hofkins took the small scroll of paper from Isabel with a blank face and unfolded it to look at it.

Isabel then asked, "Is there anything else my father would like to tell Uncle Hicks?"

Hofkins didn't reply to Isabel immediately, but thought silently for a while, and then said to Isabel: "Don't bother, Isabel, this time, you go back and bring a message to Hicks yourself." ”

"Let him not take care of my side and do what he wants. ”

Isabel frowned when she heard this, and then asked, "And then?"

"Then, you stay with Roy and help them deal with the crisis they can't handle for the time being. ”

Listening to Hofkins's words, Isabel couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then asked in a somewhat anxious tone: "Father means to drive me away? But I'm leaving, what should my father do?

Hofkins said calmly, "Do you think this level of injury can make me go down? I have been injured more seriously than I am now, and I have not survived?"

"But ......"

"No, Isabel! The situation is quite delicate, Roy and they don't know what the real situation is, and now, they are almost the only people who can change the situation, you have to protect their lives, so that you can protect the life of Lord Duke!"

Hofkins immediately interrupted Isabel's words, and her expression became very serious.

Isabel looked at Hofkins in a daze, although there was not much expression on her face, but it could be seen from her tightly clenched fists that her heart was not as calm as it seemed.

Hofkins glanced at her, then slowed down his tone slightly, and continued: "The enemy has infiltrated the imperial capital, and His Majesty and the Duke are completely unaware of it now, let alone them, even if we only know about such a thing now, we still don't know what the specific situation is. ”

"We don't know how many enemies there are, how powerful they are, what their purpose is, whether they are killing people or stealing information. ”

"As far as we can tell us so far, Cotton thinks that the situation is completely under his control, but he doesn't know that his Demon Pattern Master Guild has now become a springboard for the enemy's next plan! Roy they must succeed, and they can only succeed!Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!!"

Hearing Hofkins say this, Isabel took a deep breath, nodded solemnly and said, "I understand, father, I'll leave immediately!"

After hearing this, Hofkins was immediately relieved, but then, Hofkins also shook his head helplessly and said: "I'm sorry, Isabel, I dragged you into this kind of thing, I left the Infe Intelligence Service in the hope that your mother and daughter would stay away from this kind of life, but I didn't expect ......"

"It's an emergency, father, and I can understand that. ”

Isabel interrupted Hofkins and said very understandingly, "What's more, this matter is not just an internal issue, but now it has risen to the level of the entire empire, and as a father's daughter, it is also my honor to be able to contribute a little to the empire." ”

Listening to Isabel's answer, Hofkins couldn't help but laugh and laugh happily, he was proud to have such a daughter.

So, he whispered, "Go ahead." ”

"Yes!"
