Chapter 408: Maxelle

As time passed, and he still couldn't find a way to open the desk drawer, Lan walked around the study, checking every corner of the bookshelves, but even if there was anything hidden here, it had already been brought back to the King's City by the previous people.

"Xinghan, can you open it?" Returning to his desk, Xinghan was still sitting in his chair and looking at the keyhole of the drawer.

Xing Han bit his nails and stared at the inscription inside the keyhole, and said slowly: "I'm afraid that it can only be opened with the original key, but Duke Fengqi will definitely not leave the key here, if he wants the world to know the truth of the revolution, he will definitely leave some useful clues." ”

Stringing all the conjectures together, Xing Han's gaze finally fell on Lan's body.

Seeing Xing Han's eyes, Lan asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"The King's Seat...... Lan, you have it on you, right?" Xing Han's eyes suddenly lit up, "If Duke Fengqi leaves a clue, it will definitely be on you, you once said that the throne was left by your father, I think there should be a way to open this drawer." ”

"Really?" Lan took the necklace out from under his clothes, and his round body didn't look like the shape of a key.

Xing Han took the necklace handed over by Lan and put it in front of the lock, the throne did not react, it seems that it is not the key to open the drawer directly, but he does not plan to give up studying this necklace, the only thing left by the Duke of Wind Riding must have its value.

"How's it going?" Ten minutes later, Lan glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, Xinghan had wasted a full hour here, and the connection between the throne and the key had not yet been found.

Xing Han was silent, turning over and over to observe the looming inscription on the throne, ten years have passed, no one can open this drawer in these years, it must be not just the inscription and the strength of the magic power, to be able to activate this magic array inside the magic weapon, I don't know how to do it.

Half an hour later, Lan opened the door with some anxiety and looked outside.

"Time is running out, it's time to go back, Xing Han, can't you still find a way to open it?" Lan slowly came to the desk, Xing Han shook his head, the inscription on the throne could only be read partially, but it was just a few fragmentary words, not even a sentence like a spell at all.

Lan sighed and said, "Let's get here here today, if you don't go back, I'm afraid it will exceed the time limit." ”

"Well, I see, can the King's Seat be placed with me first?" Xinghan got up from his chair and put the King's Seat around his neck.

"Okay, okay, let's go. Lan turned off the light in his study and left Duke Windrider's manor in the same way.

At about 3:45 a.m., the two of them took advantage of the darkness to return to the outskirts of the palace of the king's city, and were just about to go back to sleep when a woman's voice suddenly came from a corner of the city wall.

"Oh, where are you going so late?"

Lan shuddered with fright, and her pounding heartbeat could seem to be heard under the night sky.

Xing Han realized that it was not good, turned his head to look at the dark corner, the moonlight slowly shone into the darkness, and out of it came a woman with clear eyebrows, the golden hair shining in the moonlight and the blue pupils that would flicker in the night made people feel a little weird, and there was no magic aura from her body, I don't know if it was because of the anti-magic armament.

"Maxelle...... Why are you here?" Ran tried to keep his voice flat.

Maxelle licked the snack crumbs on her fingers, and her eyes involuntarily moved to Xing Han's body: "Oh, are you with a man in the middle of the night?" Hmph, Lord Louifez is in a good mood, no wonder there are so many people in the city of kings who want to pursue you, you can't look down on any of them, it turns out that you already have a boyfriend~"

"Now, your name is Xinghan, right?" asked Maxelle softly.

"What do you want to do?" Lan stood in front of Xing Han, and a sense of foreboding came to his heart, if this woman followed him all the way, then what she had done would be exposed, and her previous disguise would be wasted.

Maxelle smiled with a half-squinted smile, "Lord Louifiz, it seems that your mission is only to assist the king and Lord Murbenhafie, right? ”

"You guy......" Lan seemed to be a little impatient, and pulled out his short sword to take Maxelle's life into his own hands in an instant with the advantage of speed, "What the hell are you doing here? I'll kill you if I don't say anything, and the king won't hold me accountable for you anyway." ”

"Huh, don't say they're worthless, don't forget, I'm also a student of Duke Windrider......"

"Whew-"

Maxelle suddenly disappeared in front of Ran, and when she reappeared, she saw only a dark shadow in the moonlight, followed by a glittering dagger against Ran's waist.

"What?!"

"Haha, surprised, isn't it? Duke Windrider has taught me more than that, and if Lord Louifiz wants to see it again, then be careful, except for this one ability...... The Duke of Windrider taught me all the methods of assassination. ”

Lan trembled and lowered her hand to her side, and Maxelle let go of her hand when she saw this, and the dagger was inserted into the inside of the high-heeled boot again: "That's right, Sister Louifez, it's okay for me to call you that, right?" ”

"Whatever you want!" Lan quickly put away his dagger and walked to the palace alone in an unusually angry manner.

Xinghan quickly followed, and Maxelle smiled at the backs of the two of them, and slowly disappeared into the night.

Back at Lan's palace, she slammed the door shut, then leaned on her throne and stared at the ground silently.

"That ......" Xinghan came closer, but he stopped talking, "Good night......"

"You really want to know who she is, don't you?" Lan asked instead of letting Xinghan leave, but tugging at his sleeve.

"You don't seem to be happy, forget it, I'm sleepy too. ”

Lan frowned and said, "I didn't expect to see her here." ”

"What do you mean?" Xinghan saw that Lan didn't seem to plan to let herself leave, so she had to obey her wishes and stay here.

"My father used to be an instructor, responsible for training the magic and physical strength of the Wang Formation troops. Maxdale and I had learned our abilities under my father's training, and as you can see, all I learned from my father was speed, and Maxdale was much more talented than I was. My father taught her how to use and practice various physical and magic tricks during my break with other students, and she was one of my father's favorite students, even more so than my own daughter. ”

When the revolution broke out, Maxelle betrayed her father and joined the royal army to fight against the rebels. Later, she was sent by the king to the northwest to carry out the order to find the rebellious dukes, but she did not expect to return here after only a few years, I don't know if she has found any trace of other dukes. ”

"So that's what she said about trouble. Xinghan recalled Maxelle's words, one of which did go something like this, "But why did she betray the Duke of Windrider, just because she sensed that it was a rebel against the king?"

"No, whoever started the rebellion, whether it was her father, or any other duke, or anyone she knew, it would have happened. Xinghan, that woman is very sinister in her heart, you have to be careful, you can't use magic here, you'd better be with me all the time. ”

"What about Ice Hitomi, aren't you going to meet her?" Xinghan asked.

Lan choked suddenly, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Until this matter calms down, just keep the current state, we just killed the guards of the manor, I believe that we will find out here soon, if the matter is revealed, at least they will not be implicated." ”

"Do you want to carry it down alone? No, you must leave here and go back to the present world, where the people of the King's City will not be able to bring you back even if they chase you, that is my home field." Xinghan smiled confidently.

"No, I want to stay here. ”

"Why?"

"I want to know what the significance of my father's revolution was, if it was only against the king's rule, then the main messenger must not be my father, I will help him clear everything and then return to this world. But if the purpose is not just to oppose the king, then I must know the truth behind this!

Xing Han hesitated, the purpose of his coming here was to find out what Lan was doing, now that he knew the truth, he just had to bring her back to the present world, but why was there any wavering now?

"I got it......"

Lan seems to see hope, she can't trust anyone in the City of Kings, except for Xinghan, who is the only one who can't deceive herself, and she firmly believes that only Xinghan can help her investigate the truth behind the Wind Rider Revolution.

"Then let's go to sleep, you're tired all night without a mana source, aren't you?" Lan asked, leaning on Xing Han's shoulder and pointing to the bedroom.

Xing Han instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and retreated to the wall to look at Lan nervously.

"What's wrong?"

"We can...... Don't you sleep together?" Xing Han glanced at the bedroom with a little blush, to be honest, he was very sleepy now, and there was really no way to resist or anything, even if Lan Bawang made a bow, he wouldn't have a way.

Lan smiled a little vaguely and said, "Don't worry, that bedroom is two, I am on the left, and the one on the right belongs to you." ”

Xing Han finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed Lan into the bedroom, just as he entered the door, Lan suddenly turned around, and Xing Han immediately jumped back into the hall.

"Hee-hee, good night~"
