The note was given to Xiao Yi by this attendant just when he was leading the way, when there was no one around.

"The princess is in our hands, and if we want her to live, we will come and see her alone. "The content of the note is simple, but it contains a lot of information.

Although he did not specify who it was, the only 'princess' who could have a relationship with him in the territory of Canghai was Helena, and 'In Our Hands' implied that the identity of the other party should not belong to the third force of Prince Hiss and the rebels, otherwise they would not speak out in this tone and position, and this leads to two key questions: what does the other party want? Is the statement of imprisoning Helena a a bluff?

Needless to say, the former has the ability to imprison Helena, who is the leader of the rebels, and her power and status are absolutely considerable, so it is not for the sake of money, Xiao Yi's current impression in front of outsiders is nothing more than an alchemist and a mage, so the other party is estimated to be aimed at his ability in these two aspects.

As for the authenticity, don't look at Xiao Yi's unpretentious attitude to the inner attendant who delivered the news to him, but in fact, he already knows it in his heart, according to Rudia in Sanke Town a few days ago to leave Helena's side and act alone, as well as the abnormal behavior of showing unwarranted indifference and hostility towards him, Helena was mostly imprisoned and restrained!

“...... If I had to say everything, you...... Can you do me a favor!"

As a secret spy, the attendant actually showed a look of embarrassment, which made Xiao Yi very concerned:

"Oh, it depends on what you're talking about, and what I'm trying to help you with!"

"I heard that you are a very powerful alchemist, my ......" The attendant spoke again and was only halfway through when Xiao Yi hurriedly stepped in front of him.

"Be careful!" said and turned on the ice shield, and then hit the shield with three black crossbow arrows in a row and fell to the ground, but just as Xiao Yi was following the direction where the crossbow arrows flew to seek the enemy, he heard a hoarse and heavy gasp behind him, and looked back to see that the young squire who had just been pushed away by him was holding his neck with his hand, moaning in pain with a red face, and blood was oozing from the corners of his eyes and mouth.

Typical symptoms of poisoning, and the poison was so strong that before Xiao Yi could take out the antidote from his body and hand it over, the young man fell to the ground, his dull eyes and chest no longer heaving, proving that a fresh life had been lost.

Killed in front of him between the lightning and flint, Xiao Yi frowned and turned his head, and a middle-aged man with a crossbow slowly walked in from the alley.

"It's really too difficult to find some competent subordinates these days, talking too much and begging is really taboo for a person who is responsible for leading the way, and besides, those who are afraid of death will generally die quickly, right!"

"There's nothing wrong with being afraid of death, people who don't even value their lives are not trustworthy!"

"It's really a high theory, but it's not too happy that Mr. wants to take advantage of this! After all, the duty is there, and if you can't complete it, you won't be qualified to survive!"

"Oh, then what is your duty? Xiao Yi sneered.

"Sir, you are our important guest, and compared to your strength, I am like a chick in front of a demonic beast, how could I do such a stupid thing!"

"Then what the hell do you want to do, I don't have much time!"

"Originally, I didn't need to come forward, but the subordinates were too stupid to complete their mission, so naturally I will continue to lead the way for you!"

"I see, then I'm curious if when you finish leading the way and complete the mission, does it also mean that your value is over, in that case, I want to see how a person who just reprimanded his subordinates for being afraid of death calmly went to death!"

"If you need to, I'm willing, the night is dark, why don't you come with me first!" the man replied with a smile that Xiao Yi understood that this was a person who didn't eat oil and salt, so he snorted coldly and followed.

followed this person around and around and came to a mansion in the downtown area, which looked very generous, but Xiao Yi knew that it would be fruitless to investigate according to the owner of this house, and with the means and mystery revealed by the other party, he would definitely not be in trouble with such a small matter.

"Sir, please come in!" the middle-aged man made a gesture of please, and Xiao Yi walked in without any hesitation.

At this time, a ghost-like figure appeared in front of the two, and the middle-aged man spoke again: "Next, sir, please follow him, I will accompany him less!"

Xiao Yi stared at him twice before turning around.

"It's a little weird, but it's good to be a host, and besides...... You really won't be able to lead the way!"

With a bang, the middle-aged man behind him suddenly fell, and his face, which was still laughing just now, was full of horror.

"Don't be afraid, this ecstasy potion won't kill you, but it's easy to change it to poison! How does it feel to have your life in someone else's hands? I hope you remember it so that you can remember it next time you attack someone else!" Xiao Yi stopped and said something back, and then followed the shadow that slowly drifted away deep into the mansion.

After entering the residence, he went straight to the top floor, and the shadow disappeared in front of a door, and Xiao Yi understood that the destination was ahead.

Taking a deep breath, he reached out and pushed the door open, the elegant and gorgeous bedroom was softly lit, and the gentle woman sitting in front of the window in the light and shadow was the Helena he had been thinking about.

Helena noticed the sound and looked in the direction of the door, and found that it was Xiao Yi's face that was briefly startled, and then looked at each other for a moment without saying a word, and then smiled, like the opening of a glacier and the beginning of spring flowers.

"Sir is still here, and you are tired of my business!"

"Long time no see, is President Helena okay?"

"As you can see, life is free for the time being!"

"What do they use to control you?"

"A poison that can attack at any time according to their wishes!" Xiao Yi suddenly thought when he heard the poison, it seemed that the attendant who had just died of poison was not killed casually, and it was probably also to show such a unique method as him, and to warn himself, as an alchemist, not to try to rescue Helena through ordinary means.

"So Rudia is also forced to obey them!"

"Have you met with Uncle Rudia? They told me you came back with Kairo and the Alchemist Mission, I'm afraid the atmosphere was not good! I'm sorry, please don't blame Uncle Rudia, it's all due to me!"

"It's nothing, you see that I'm not doing well!, but I see that Rudia is still operating with the rebel forces, could it be that the person who imprisoned you is also one of the forces involved in the rebellion?"

"Yes, I wouldn't have been so fooled if it weren't for that!"

Helena nodded.
