Night had completely enveloped the majestic capital, and the rest of the city was much quieter, except for the sparse bazaar in the middle of Dinah City, which was still as lively as day.

Suddenly, a black figure sprang from the corner of the street, and it looked even more elusive under the cover of the night.

Even if someone accidentally sees this dark shadow, they will think that it is just a wild dog foraging for food at night.

The black figure shifted its position and gradually came to the vicinity of an ornately decorated hotel.

The uninvited guest, wearing a mask on his face, stood across from the hotel, his eyes staring straight at the hotel's door.

There were two ordinary guards standing outside the door, and it seemed that the guards outside the hotel door were very tight.

However, if anyone who is interested in observing the situation of these two guards, they will find that in fact, these two guards have begun to fall asleep.

After all, they are not warriors who fight against enemy forces all year round, and for the people of this world, this time should have been asleep a long time ago.

The reason why these two guards did not dare to find a random place to sleep was because their commander, after sending the group of VIPs to the hotel, told the two of them to guard the safety of the VIPs well.

The captain also told them that it was an order from the Marquis of Red, and that if there was any negligence, they were to be hoisted from the flagpole at the city gate to apologize!

When the guards heard the captain give them such an order, how could they leave their posts without permission?

So they had to force their spirits and guard this gorgeous inn that provided accommodation for the nobles.

Finally, one of the fatter guards couldn't resist the constant sleepiness, and his eyelids were already fighting.

So he said to his partner on the side: "Brother, I'm sleepy, I can't stand it, I'll sleep first, and I'll take over your shift after a while!"

Ignoring the dust on the ground, the guard sat down on the ground and dozed off against the wall of the hotel.

"Oh, you guy, if the captain finds out that we are sleeping here, he won't punish us severely!"

Another slender guard saw his companion sleeping on the floor, and hurriedly pushed his shoulder to signal him to hurry up and not sleep so deeply at this critical time.

However, a slight snoring came from the fat guard on the ground, and it seemed that he had slept like a dead pig.

Seeing this, the emaciated guard could only sigh and straighten his partner's body, so that it looked like he was just sitting on the ground resting.

I want to get a good night's sleep too, these damn magicians, who have fought with our kingdom's army for so many years, and whose grandfather died in the war with the magicians a few years ago, and now have to guard the gate for the magicians themselves, it's really infuriating!

The slender guard's mind was thinking about these infuriating things, and he unconsciously felt a hint of sleepiness, and the snoring of his companions seemed to call him to sleep together.

At this moment, a biting cold wind blew past the slender guard, and he suddenly woke up from his drowsy state.

The lanky guard hurriedly reconnoitred the surroundings, but he found nothing suspicious except for the cries on the rooftops of the roadside.

"Why is there a sudden cold wind blowing around, is it because the weather is suddenly getting colder?"

The lanky guard shook his head in confusion, then looked at his companion who was still asleep, sighed, and put his coat over him.

But what the guard didn't know was that a mysterious figure had already taken advantage of his drowsiness, skipped the gate of the guards near him, and quickly entered this gorgeous hotel.

After entering the door, the figure took a general look at its surroundings and immediately hurried up the spiral staircase to the upper floor.

At the same time, in the most luxurious rooms of the hotel, the lights were still on, and there was a faint sound of argument in the room.

Inside, a slightly younger magician excitedly narrated his opinion.

"So far, the officials of the Heka Kingdom have not provided us with information about Francis's whereabouts, and today's meeting has ended early, isn't this the contempt of the Heka Kingdom for our Magicians Association?

If you want me to say, we should return to the Society, bring back a large army, and force the Heka Kingdom to reveal Francis's whereabouts!"

At this time, another burly man, who was more of a warrior than a magician, spoke out against his views,

"It is true that Francis disappeared in the territory of the Heka Kingdom, but this does not mean that the royal family of the Heka Kingdom or the Church of the Goddess of Cereals has taken Francis into custody.

Francis is indeed from a famous family, but don't forget that the purpose of the big guy's mission to the Heka Kingdom is to conclude a contract with the Heka Kingdom!"

"You!"

When the young magician saw him speak against him, he was thrilled to argue with him immediately.

"Enough!"

Suddenly, the only old magician sitting in his seat spoke up to stop the impending quarrel.

If Russell had been there, he would have immediately identified the magician, he was the only aged magician led by Marquis of Red before the meeting began!

"The two of you have been arguing here for a hundred years, and you can't find out Francis's whereabouts, I see that the royal family and the Church of the Goddess of Grains still want to negotiate a contract with us, so continue to talk to them, so where is Francis now, we still have to be patient to find out!"

When the young magician heard this, he wanted to immediately refute something, but suddenly a silver dart shot out, piercing the magician's heart in an instant.
