In the Morris family's mansion, Lan Ke sat at his desk with his eyebrows tightly locked, seriously thinking about the series of problems he was facing now.

Although in order to suppress Prime Minister Archimedes, Rand promoted Lan Ke to the next level under pressure from the ministers. But the current Lan Ke obviously did not meet the king's expectations. In the mediation with Archimedes, Lan Ke was often in a disadvantaged position, which made the court already have criticism. The ministers questioned the king's vision, and when they talked about it, their tones also contained a lot of ridicule of Lan Ke.

Being in this atmosphere for a long time, Lan Ke naturally didn't feel very happy, but because he wasn't a person who cared about these things, Lan Ke didn't pay attention to those gossips at all. The only thing that annoyed Lan Ke was that he really couldn't find a chance to bring down Archimedes! Ranko desperately needs a chance to prove himself and prove his abilities and loyalty to the king!

Half an hour ago, a subordinate reported that Ellis was now making a huge arrest of a fugitive, and this naturally attracted Lan Ke's attention. Lan Ke remembered that the fugitive was a witch, or his classmate, and it seemed that Archimedes himself wanted it.

It is not uncommon for the prime minister to arrest a few people, but because the object that Archimedes wants to arrest this time is a witch, Lan Ke feels that this seems to convey some unusual information.

Ranco had already found out that Archimedes had planned to transfer Lulu to another place tonight to be imprisoned. And the new cell that Lulu will be transferred to is nominally the public prison of the Moon Country, but because the guards there are actually Archimedes' people, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Archimedes' private prison.

Archimedes' transfer of the witch is already very suspicious, and now there is such a thing as a prison escape, which is really hard for people to regard this as just a coincidence. So, what was Archimedes' purpose in doing this?

Thinking of this, Lan Ke felt more and more suspicious of Archimedes, and at the same time, he cared about the attitude of the king. Lan Ke was more or less aware of the occurrence of this prison escape, which was instructed by the king. Otherwise, with Lulu's small body, it would have been difficult to pass through the mage's heavily guarded cell and escape.

And this means that the king actually knows some inside information, but he has never told Lan Ke about it. This shows that the king actually doesn't trust Lan Ke that much.

Thinking of this, Lan Ke's heart couldn't help but feel a little bitter: Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what do you want me to do so that you can really believe me?

At this time, a little servant suddenly came to report: "Young master, someone has come to visit and wants to see you." ”

Lan Ke couldn't help but feel a little surprised, not only because of the timing of the late-night visit, but also because he had always been a loner, and no one had a good relationship with him to the extent that he could visit late-night.

However, Lan Ke still asked: "Who?" ”

"He said it was your classmate, and his name was Xiu."

Repair?

Lan Ke remembered that there really seemed to be one of his classmates named him. It's just that Lan Ke rarely went to the War Academy before, so he didn't know each other with his classmates at all, and he hadn't even met this transfer student before.

However, for a person like Lan Ke, even if he had never met his classmates at all, he had already found out all the details of the people in the class very clearly.

After all, the Silver Moon Class is not an ordinary collective, any nobleman in it has a rather remarkable background, who knows if it will be useful to Lan Ke in the future? Therefore, of course, Lan Ke had to make all preparations in advance for the investigation. Although Xiu was only a civilian, Lan Ke felt that since he could become a member of the Silver Moon Class as a transfer student, Xiu's background or ability must not be simple. Therefore, for Xiu's night visit, Lan Ke still attaches great importance to it.

So Lan Ke said, "In that case, then invite him in." ”

After a while, Xiu came to Lan Ke's face. He said bluntly, "Lord Morris, I want to give you some clues. ”

"Clues?" Lan Ke's face couldn't help but show a very stylized smile, and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

Xiu didn't talk nonsense, sat down directly in front of Lan Ke, and said, "Is this interesting?" We all know what Rand wants you to do, so let's stop doing all this twisting and turning. I know you want to bring down Prime Minister Archimedes, so I'm here to give you some clues. ”

With that, Xiu threw the package he was holding directly in front of Lan Ke.

Lan Ke glanced at the package, and didn't immediately reach out to see what was inside, but only showed a thoughtful expression.

What was in the package was actually the list and portrait that Roland had turned out in Archimedes' manor before. Although no one took them at first, after returning to the shopping street, he thought about it carefully, and felt that there must be some unknown secrets hidden here, and it was a pity to miss it like this. So Xiu went back to the manor again and secretly took these things out again.

Because Xiu thinks that anyway, for Archimedes, even something as important as the soul crystal has been lost, and if there are other things, there is no big difference, right?

However, although the thing was taken out, what it really represented, Xiu still didn't have a clue. So he thought of Lan Ke, who was not dealing with Archimedes. As the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, and Lan Ke is also doing things for the king now, so Xiu thinks that giving Archimedes' handle to Lan Ke is also a good choice.

Lan Ke asked, "Why are you doing this?" ”

Xiu smiled: "Because Archimedes is also my enemy, I want him to die, it's as simple as that." ”

What Xiu said is not a lie. Since Xiu knew that it was the demon who killed him, the hatred and disgust for the demon in his heart have undoubtedly gone to a new level. So when Xiu knew that Archimedes might collude with the demon to plot something, he even had deep malice towards Archimedes.

Whether it's a demon or a human being connected to a demon, all of them should be damned!

Lan Ke looked at Xiu and didn't speak again, but opened Xiu's package, took out the contents and looked at them, and asked, "Where did this come from?" ”

"I stole it from Archimedes. But don't worry, there are more important things that have been stolen with them, so even if Archimedes searches the whole city tomorrow, he is afraid that he will not tell anyone what is stolen, and we will not be able to find our heads. ”

"I see. But you just said that there are more important things that have been stolen as well, so what is that? Lan Ke asked again.

Xiu smiled: "It's a soul crystal." Something that is not yet clear to humans, but is particularly attractive to demons. A lot of demons are snatching it, so I suspect that Archimedes is likely to be in cahoots with demons, which is why I had to get rid of him. Okay, I've got the same situation as you said, and I'll leave the rest to you, I hope we can all achieve our respective goals smoothly this time. ”

After saying this, Xiu strode out of the Morris family's mansion without stopping, leaving Lan Ke alone, still there thoughtful, thinking about something.

The night was already a little cold.

After returning to the commercial street, Xiu did not immediately go back to the room to rest, but found Wu Yao and said solemnly: "I have something I want to tell you." ”

"Oh? It's rare for you kid to be so serious, what's the matter? Wu Yao said slowly.

Xiu took a deep breath and said in a very solemn tone, "I, I want to be a demon hunter. Judging from his attitude, it is not difficult to see that Xiu made this decision after careful consideration.

Wu Yao didn't say anything about Xiu's determination, but showed a smile of relief: It seems that this kid has finally found his answer.
