Early in the morning, Duke Anne got up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Even though he had barely slept the night before when he was disturbed by Fiona's surprise attack, Duke Anne was still in good spirits. Because today, she has been preparing for a long time to show off the demeanor of the Flame Dukedom to the nobles and people who come here.

However, early in the morning, there was not very good news. Investigator Lilith came to report that yesterday Egret had killed two intruders in the hunting woodlands of the Duke's Palace, and brought back a girl from the Spirit Fox Clan.

Duke Anne's nerves jumped. At this sensitive moment, it was mad that someone could sneak into the hunting woodlands near the Duke's Palace. However, the incident quickly subsided, and Anne was not held accountable because the armed team did have a certain time loophole in replacing the equipment.

As long as you spend these three days in peace. Duke Anne clasped her hands together and muttered silently in her heart.

Despite the threat of Rogue Shadow, Anne didn't feel anything. The Duke's palace is the most advanced defense in the world, and even the Egret group has tried their best to steal the collection quietly.

In the same way, if you can't be quiet, at the level of Nina and Egret, who can escape from the pursuit of these two except the master?

But Fiona always raises the bar with herself.

Anne pouted, but fortunately there was Nina in the middle of the circle. Otherwise, Anne would not have thrown in the towel to Fiona.

As the owner of the show, Anne hopes that more people will be able to see the beauty of the Flame Territory. Sell more locally produced wines, culinary specialties. Let the outside world take a good look at the richness of the Flame Realm.

What she hopes most is to be recognized by the world. Even if the old duke dies, Duke Anne can bring better development to the territory.

"There are a lot of people. Fiona said as she ate a vegetarian skewer. "You've been very successful all these years, Annie. ”

Anne was a little surprised when she heard this, "It's really rare to hear a compliment from your mouth." Thank you. ”

"I'm not a mean guy. Fiona gave Anne a blank look, "I'm not that generous enough to forgive you easily. ”

Anne was slightly stunned, but Fiona didn't continue. The three of them walked towards the hall while eating.

Anne vaguely understood what Fiona meant, when the old duke died, she was in trouble. But the strong ones didn't look for anyone's help and suffered a lot. Fortunately, Master Lucian did not abandon the Flame Territory, and relied on his connections and influence to survive that time.

Fiona, who was a friend, didn't know about Anne's actions until after that period, and felt a little sad. She thought that in Anne's eyes, she was a friend to rely on. But it never occurred to Anne that she would rather suffer, plead with others, than come to her.

Anne smiled bitterly, she had always cherished her relationship with Nina and Fiona, maybe she didn't choose to seek Fiona's help at that time, the main reason was that she didn't want to feel like she was standing under Fiona.

After all, the most important thing about friends is to feel equal interactions.

Fiona's mind is not so complicated, she is like a white cloth that is not stained with any color in the big dyed environment of the aristocracy, pure and natural.

"I still like you, Fiona. Anne said with a smile.

Fiona was stunned, "It's too late to start saying nice things now." ”

"I won't buy it so easily!" Fiona grimaced, and looked at Anne for a moment, and both of them suddenly laughed.

Ding-dong sound.

While the two were talking, several round objects rolled down the hall. The sound of metal colliding is emitted.

"What are you doing?27?" and then inside the hall, one of the Armed Patrol officers suddenly shouted.

Anne and Fiona were startled, and Nina appeared in front of them instantly. He looked solemnly in the direction where the armed team members were shouting.

It was also a guy in an armed uniform, who had already put on a strange mask, which looked weird and scary.

The scene was already in chaos when it exploded, and the nobles and the common people did not know what was happening, and they scurried around like headless flies.

"I advise you to be quiet, otherwise once the bomb is touched, the power of the explosion will be enough to kill and injure elite professionals. ”

The masked man made a hoarse sound, as if two pieces of sand rubbed against each other, which was very uncomfortable.

The man raised the round object in his hand so that everyone could see it clearly. The voice was hoarse but not difficult to hear, and the volume was not small enough for everyone in the hall to know what he was talking about: "This is called a High Magic Bomb." You are all people with common sense, so I don't think you need to explain the role of this little thing. ”

"What?!"

"What do you want to do?!"

"What are you doing?"

Almost as soon as he reacted, chaotic sounds began to sound all around.

"Boom!" there was a violent explosion outside. The whole hall was silent.

Anne's heart shook violently, and she exclaimed uncontrollably, "What did you do?!"

"Don't be nervous. "It's just a high-magic bomb that exploded in a clearing." Just to tell you that I'm not kidding. ”

"You guy!" Anne didn't believe the masked man's words, gave a color, and immediately there were armed soldiers at the door, and went out to check on it.

However, the masked man raised the explosive bomb in his hand, "Don't move!"

"Duke Anne. You know what I want. The masked man stopped the actions of the armed team, threatening: "There are a large number of commoners and nobles here, if you don't want to cause a large-scale political incident." I advise you to be honest. ”

Anne exhaled, steady. "What the hell do you want to do?"

"For the dragon scales and Anthony's books, of course. The masked man spoke, "It's already clear in the notice. ”

"What?!" This guy is Rogue Shadow?!

"I really don't have what it takes to steal dragon scales and Anthony's books. But that doesn't mean I can't get what I want. Now, turn off the phantom array and the isolation defenses, and have someone bring me something!"

"What are you kidding?!" Anne's heart was furious, but the masked man shook the bomb in his hand and looked at Anne in warning.

"The bomb in my hand, as well as the controller mounted on my body, are enough to detonate in a second. I don't want to talk nonsense, as long as Duke Anne does what I say, I promise not to hurt anyone. ”

Anne trembled with anger, but realized that the round bombs just dropped by the masked man had already rolled all over the hall.

She looked at Nina helplessly, but Nina shook her head solemnly.

The forcible seizure of the collection in this nasty way, in exchange for Anne's compromise with conditions that threatened innocent commoners and nobles. It's all about the rhythm of the big nobles.

"Turn off the guard!" Anne said fiercely.

"But!" the old butler was shocked, and involuntarily resisted.

At this time, Anne's momentum soared, and she said again with an extremely serious face: "I said, turn off the protection!"

The sound made the old butler who heard it tremble, and knew that Anne was really angry. The old butler reluctantly turned around and walked to the side of a pillar in the hall, which was where the central control organ for the protection of the facility was located.

The mechanism is cleverly set up so that only those with special "keys" can open or close it. The old butler is the one who controls this "key". He took the pendant hanging from his chest in his hand and gently placed it on the pillar, and the whole hall suddenly darkened, and the supply of magical energy stopped.

Without the supply of magical energy, the protection mechanism will naturally disappear.

The masked man did not dare to make a move, and asked one of the servants to come forward and pick up the dragon scales and Anthony's books that he had requested. Other than that, everyone in the hall held their breath, and no one dared to move because of the explosive bombs that were all over the floor.

Fiona's eyes had been staring at the bomb since she had calmed down just now. The expression was slightly confused.

"That's not right!" suddenly shouted Fiona, "this bomb is fake!

The shout startled everyone. However, there is still someone who reacts quickly, and that is Nina, who believes in Fiona completely unconditionally.

Nina's body sank, and she quickly bypassed the crowd and pounced directly on the masked man.

At the same time, the masked man's body, who heard Fiona's scream, paused, and then reacted very quickly and grabbed it towards the servant's hand.

This servant, however, was disguised by Lodi. In order to facilitate the observation of the hall and prevent the shadow of the Grand Thief from attacking, Lodi took the initiative to ask to pretend to be a servant for the past few days and be responsible for secretly guarding, but he didn't expect it to play a role on the first day.

Lodi, who is also an elite, how could he be so easily succeeded by the masked man, and he quickly dismantled his hand, hindering the masked man's grasping.

By this time, Nina was already close at hand.

The masked man, who was expressionless, suddenly crushed the explosive bomb in his hand, emitting a bright white light.

"What?!"

It's not a bomb, but it's not a useless toy either. Intense light burst out, like the sun suddenly appeared in the hall. Even Nina couldn't perceive anything for a while, so she stopped.

The false explosive bombs all over the ground were also stimulated, and one by one Peng emitted smoke, which carried a strong pungent smell, making it difficult for people not only to see, but also to breathe.

How unbearable this was, the people in the hall began to rush towards the door involuntarily. His eyes were blocked, and his mouth was full of smoke. People stumbled and slowly came out of the smoke. It's already outside the hall.

Fiona and Anne walked out with each other's hands, Nina was the most glared by the light at first, and she hadn't opened her eyes yet, but with her strong perception ability, she still walked out of the hall quickly.

"What happened?" As soon as Nina and the others came out, they met the egret who rushed over, and the egret saw the gray-faced Nina and the others also changed their faces.

"Thieves. The guy called Shadow. Started. ”
