When the archpriest entered the dungeon, he saw the cardinal and the marquis come out. The faces of the two were calm, and nothing seemed to have happened. The great priest breathed a sigh of relief, the muffled sound of the impact was faintly heard from the dungeon just now, and he could still feel the smell of the mixture of magic and fighting energy, thinking that there was a battle below, so he hurried down.

"Nothing. The Marquis has come to me to preach the words of His Majesty the Pope. Bishop Javi gestured to the archpriest for battle.

Archpriest Ryan's eyes swirled around the cardinal and the marquis, and he really couldn't see anything wrong except that the bishop's expression was a little complicated. Although he was puzzled by the strange look shown by the young bishop who had always been very deep in the city, he was a man of understanding, and he did not want to understand what was going on.

Bishop Javi's eyes flickered, and the expression on his face seemed to fluctuate more than it had just been. After a moment of silence, as if he had finally made up his mind, he said, "Take the Marquis to the prisoner...... Just remember to bring the Marquis in, and then you don't have to worry about it......"

"Yes. Although he was still puzzled, and he could feel that something seemed to be not quite right, Grand Priest Ryan's reaction was clearer. An old man like him, who has lost much enthusiasm and fighting spirit, understands very well that the more unpredictable the future of the extraordinary period, if there is more likely to be a hidden background behind it, the more he should not delve into it.

"Let's get back to the way it was for now, I've killed all the monsters inside. Without my permission, no one else will be allowed to go any further. I'll go find Lord Rodhart first for something......" The cardinal's voice was a little tired, but the tone was commanding. It seems that he has taken over the Academy of Magic as a matter of course.

The High Priest thought for a moment, as if considering what attitude he should take, but finally nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

After the tunnel entrance is sealed. Archpriest Ryan led the Marquis towards the dungeon where the prisoner was being held. On the way, he asked casually: "Inham, have you already done things for His Majesty the Pope in Celeste?" The prisoner Bishop said that he was going to send Celeste to His Majesty the Pope......

The Marquis smiled and replied, "No, I'm not in Leicester." It's also our pleasure to share His Majesty's worries once in a while. Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and this prisoner really doesn't need to work for His Majesty, so I'll deal with it for him. ”

The "En......" Grand Priest really couldn't find any definite clues from these words, so he had to continue to look like an old man and a steady look.

The Academy of Magic is really not small, and it took more than ten minutes to get from the cathedral to the dungeon where the prisoners are held. And when Grand Priest Ryan saw the open dungeon door and the few priests and guards who had fallen to the ground, he almost jumped up so steadily.

"Someone robbed the prison. The Grand Priest immediately rushed over. The marquis's expression also became solemn for a moment, and he followed to see what was going on.

The guards on the ground were all knocked unconscious with heavy hands. Two of them were stripped down to their underwear. This is just a remote cellar, and there is usually no one around, so no one even notices the alarm. And the guards and priests apparently didn't get a chance to shout either.

The high priest helped a priest up, and the priest slowly opened his eyes as the light of white magic flashed continuously. The high priest asked, "What's the matter, how many people are attacking you, what kind of people?"

The priest replied with difficulty, almost causing the high priest to jump: "I'm sorry. I didn't know anything, I was knocked unconscious......"

The Marquis did not pay any attention to the priests who had been knocked unconscious, and he first glanced at the iron door of the cellar, which was intact and had not been violently slammed open, but the lock on it had been broken. The section of the lock surface is not very neat, and it can be seen that it is not a divine weapon cutting the ground, and there are some strange hanging traces on the section. If it were anyone else, they might not be able to see what was going on. But the Marquis could see it at a glance. This is a fire-based or dark mana that can only dissolve after an instant is highly concentrated.

The guards had their backs to the cellar door. This method of magically breaking the lock can be silent. If this man had moved faster, it should have been possible to knock the completely unsuspecting guards out of the door before they could react.

Although he did not inquire carefully, the Marquis knew that there was no way that Javi would never have locked this man up unscathed in a place where he could escape without any problems. And being able to lock and dissolve with magic without anyone around him noticing, which doesn't seem to be something he can do.

Step into the dungeon, and inside there is a strange heat wave. The arm-thick steel bars of the cage were not damaged in the slightest, and the lock on it was still magically dissolved. The ground in the center of the cage was cracked. It is a unique trace left after being roasted at high temperatures. It's as if someone had set up a fire here and burned it for three days and three nights.

"What is this? This ...... There is a fire-based archmage among the prison robbers?, but the forbidden magic arrays around it are still intact, what's going on......" Grand Priest Ryan also saw these strange traces and exclaimed.

The Marquis looked at the crack in the ground with a thoughtful expression, he took a deep breath of the still hot air in the cellar, as if savoring the meaning of the heat, and slowly his face became more and more ugly, and finally began to have some horror and anger.

"No more. Go and inform Bishop Javi, and I'll gather my men and start a hunt at once......" The archpriest turned to the marquis, but when he turned his head, he realized that the marquis was gone.

At this time, Asa and Jessica were being taken into the Prime Minister's Mansion by the guards.

Both of them were wearing clothes stripped from the stunned priest. The mask he had been wearing had been baked to ashes, and he now had to smear his face with some improvised dirt to make bumps. Although it looked a little strange, he was brought in with the clothes of this magic academy and the lie of the bishop's letter.

The guards led them into the study where the Prime Minister worked. Xiao Yi, dressed in an official uniform, was leaning against the desk and looking at the documents absentmindedly. It can be seen from her expression and the look in her eyes that she doesn't seem to be in a good mood these days. When she heard that someone was gone, she just didn't look up and asked, "What's the matter?" Bishop Javi has something to do? He was weird with me two days ago, and I asked someone to invite him, but he didn't come......

"Prime Minister, this is a very confidential matter, please let the others avoid it, okay?" said Asa with a bowed head.

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then her body shook. She heard the voice.

"Well, this pastor has a confidential report, so you all should step aside for the time being. Bring the door shut, and remember that there is no order from me. Don't let anyone in, you know?" Xiao Yi took a deep breath and said to the guards and the two clerks and secretaries next to him in as flat a tone as possible.

Everyone withdrew, and the door to the study was closed. Asa wiped his hand on his face, and all the disguise turned into powder and scattered down. He looked up at her and smiled.

There is sourness, bitterness, vicissitudes and sweetness in this laughter. There are no longer the worries, shyness, and hesitation of the past, like the spring breeze in the wilderness, all the emotions in his heart are given to each other.

Xiao Yi also smiled. Neither spoke. At this time, language is already redundant. Words though are tools to convey emotions. But true emotion is not something that can be carried by words.

Asa strode in front of Xiao Yi. He reached out and took her in his arms. Whispered, "I'm sorry." ”

Xiao Yi was slightly stunned by his different actions from the past, but then he also melted into the embrace of this place that had appeared countless times in memories and dreams, and whispered: "What are you sorry for, fool." ”

The body in the bosom is so soft and warm, as if all the warmth and softness of this private office are gathered here at this moment. Every inch of the skin on the body feels this gentleness. It felt like it went to the deepest part of my heart. The nose smelled her again. I once thought that I had forgotten this shame, but it wasn't until this revisiting place that I realized that the fragrance had actually been imprinted in the deepest part of my soul.

There were already tears in the corners of his eyes. It wasn't sadness, and there wasn't much joy, but the comfort of repressed emotions. He put his mouth to her ear, and his dry lips felt the tenderness of the hair on her mane, and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”

"Fool. There were tears in the corners of her eyes. Just smiled and hugged him tightly, repeating the phrase.

In the corner of the room, the black elf looked at the two people hugging each other, her eyes and expressions looked very strange, complex and complicated, but she could tell that the heaviest of them was loneliness.

Maybe it's been a long time, maybe it's not long, and the people in this room don't have a fixed concept of time. Xiao Yi whispered, "Why did you come here at this time? Do you know how worried I am at this time? The cardinal suddenly became so strange after he found your knife in my place that day. I looked at him and suddenly I had a very strange and scared feeling......"

Asa sighed softly and said, "You never know who that guy actually is. ”

"Is it someone we knew before?" asked Xiao Yi.

"It's more than awareness. Asa smiled wryly. "Actually, even now, I feel really hard to believe who that guy really is...... I didn't expect that guy to be dead yet, and he would use this identity to come back here...... Don't worry, I'm here, I'll protect you. ”

"Who the hell are you talking about. Xiao Yi frowned and asked.

At this moment, the door to the study was suddenly opened. A man pushed the door in, smiled and said in a polite and slightly apologetic voice, "Sorry for the interruption." ”

Xiao Yi and Asa reflexively separated. And Asa immediately remembered that there was no cover on his face now. He hurriedly wanted to turn around and bow his head, while his fighting spirit and mana were condensed in his hand at the same time. But the moment he turned around, he saw the person who came in, and he was stunned.

Xiao Yi also saw the person clearly at this time, and said in surprise: "Lord Marquis?"

"Huh, why are you here?" said the Marquis, looking at Asa with a look of surprise on his face. He walked over, smiling and reaching out to pat Asati on the shoulder. "I haven't seen you all day. Are you okay?"

The Marquis's expression was indeed very friendly, and his movements were very natural, it was indeed the reaction when he saw an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time, and even Asa even subconsciously surged up the friendly memory of this old acquaintance, looking at him and feeling a good feeling, not to mention any wariness. But Asa looked at the hand that naturally stretched out to express closeness and friendship without the slightest smell of fireworks, and knew that it was best not to let him touch it.

It's not a gut feeling. Intuitively, he even had a crush on this man, and that thought was the result of his wariness and thinking in the blink of an eye.

Before, he wouldn't have any wariness of this person. But now that the true identity of Bishop Javi is known, the identity of this person has to be clouded with a strange shadow. Although those hands were indeed weak and weak. Without the slightest fluctuation of fighting spirit and magic, he was willing to even use his strength to knead it into inner sauce in a tenth of a second, but this person's strange appearance in this strange environment and strange time still made him have to be a little wary. So Asa reached out and went around the friendly palm to grab his wrist.

The palm of the hand was still so limp, but it turned and turned appropriately, still very slow and friendly. But it was the wrist that slapped Asa to grab his wrist.

Asa retracted his hand, then stretched it out again. This time, he already had the fighting spirit and the sound of wind and thunder in his hands. If he caught it, even a whole piece of marble would be crushed to pieces. And he was fast enough to grab the crossbow and shoot arrows.

But the marquis's hand changed direction slightly, very slowly, and met Assa's palm again. Not only did there not have the slightest vindictive spirit on his hand, but even the muscles were not very developed, and it seemed that it would definitely not end well if he touched the hand that spread the vindictiveness and bulging muscles, but despite this, the marquis seemed to want to slap Asa at any cost.

Since the other party wants to shoot. Then you must not let him shoot. Out of this strange thought and thought, Asa had to stop again. And this time, because he used too much force when he shot at the ground. So this time I had to sink my waist and immediately take a step back. There was an unpleasant creak on the floor beneath his feet, and his feet actually stomped the floor half an inch.

The Marquis also retired. But he didn't retreat like Asa. His movements were still so casual, and a step back was a big step.

The distance between Asa and Xiao Yi was already very close, and the marquis seemed to retreat directly to Xiao Yi's side intentionally or unintentionally. Asa's face changed.

"Lord Marquis, didn't the people outside stop you when you came in?" Although Xiao Yi could see the strange movements in the palms between the two, she still didn't understand what was going on at all. She suddenly came to the point where she had given the order not to allow anyone to approach. She had always had a good impression of the Marquis, and the friendly and kind smile on the Marquis's face made her unguarded. I just think it's weird.

"Stopped. But I can't stop it. The marquis still smiled so kindly and friendly, and at the same time, his other hand was also kind and friendly, and he naturally held Xiao Yi's hand.

The Marquis's expression, voice, and bearing were all too perfect and natural. So Xiao Yi didn't even feel that there was anything wrong with his answer, and it wasn't until a paralyzing feeling spread from the outside of the marquis's wrist holding her that instantly spread to her whole body, and she felt that something was wrong.

Asa was just about to move, when the Marquis's eyes immediately fixed him there. The Marquis's expression was still gentle, and his smile and voice were as gentlemanly as if he were going to a royal banquet of the highest ranks, but the cold light in the deepest part was enough to make people understand what he meant: "You'd better not move." ”

There was another uncontrollable moan from the floor beneath Asa's feet, and the force that was about to burst out just now was forced back, causing his feet to sink a little more up and down the floor. Veins appeared in his hands and on the door of his head, and the bloodshot in his eyes became heavy.

"Don't worry, it's my hand that catches it. The Marquis lifted up the hand that had just slapped Asa several times. "And not this hand. ”

The hand raised by the marquis is slender and long, and the bones are as bright as a sculpture, and Bai Xi Qingqi vividly expresses the temperament that an artist should have. This hand has a ring on its middle finger.

The ring is very elegant and delicate, and it goes well with this hand. But now there is a thin, barely visible needle on the ring. If it weren't for the Marquis's deliberate display, I'm afraid no one would have found out.

"The toxins from the dragonfly tail of Tytaria, the branches and leaves of the black mist grass that is a specialty of the Lizard Swamp, the sunset flower of the Diya Valley, and the toxins from the tail of the manticore-tailed manticore, all of which are cursed with dark magic, and this ring also has the carrion poison of necromancy on it...... Don't underestimate this needle, it's small, but if it gets pricked, I bet even the strongest Beamon beast can't stand it. The marquis lightly introduced the ring on his hand, and at the same time glanced at Xiao Yi, who was already unable to move. Of course, she couldn't stand it anymore. ”
