In the royal palace of Mosco City, in the council chamber, King Salenchesky of Erus, sat on a throne, his frowning face looking like a Shar Pei with a long beard.

At the head of the throne sat the High Priest Goethe, who was dressed in a golden robe and stared at the king on the throne with his only left eye, and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, what did you do by inviting me here late at night?"

"High Priest," Ivan of Silverstar, who was standing on the other side of the throne, bowed to Goethe with a smile, then straightened up and said, "Your Majesty has heard that you are going to execute Captain Antonio in public tomorrow, but is there such a thing?"

"So what, does Your Majesty want to go to the ceremony?" asked Goethe, glancing at Ivan with an arrogant expression.

"No," Ivan replied with a calm smile, "His Majesty means that you can't do that. ”

"What?" Goethe glared, slapped the armrest of the soft chair and said loudly, "Antonio shielded the banshee and robbed the execution ground to let her go, this is a heinous crime, do you want to shield this criminal?"

"High priest, please calm your anger. Ivan walked up to Goethe and whispered: "We did not intend to shield Antonio, but this matter has not been explicitly ordered by His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and you are equal to the head of Antonio, and you have no right to convict and punish him." ”

"Whether I have this power or not is not up to you, a little earl, to decide!" Goethe exasperated and shouted angrily at Ivan's smiling face.

"Of course, this is not my intention, but His Majesty's intention, after all, this is his territory, and if you want to kill Antonio here, he must receive the Holy Emperor's decree. Ivan said and glanced back at the king on the throne, smiled and asked, "Am I right, Your Majesty?"

"Yes, that's it!" said the king, nodding approvingly.

"Hmph, your territory?" Goethe sneered and looked back at the king on the throne and said: "Every cent of the land in the empire belongs to His Majesty the Holy Emperor, you are just the land manager of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, I am the supreme oracle of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor has given me all the powers, including doing anything in 'your territory'!"

"As far as I know, Captain Antonio is also the Supreme Messenger of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. Ivan smiled and bowed his head to himself.

Goethe turned his head and glared at him coldly, and was very angry that a little count dared to point fingers here, he pointed at Ivan and said angrily: "There is no place for you to speak here, you better step down from here at once, and don't wait for me to arrest you as Antonio's accomplices!"

"Ah, it's not good for you to say that in the presence of His Majesty. Ivan smiled unhurriedly: "But I don't blame you, you have just come to Mosco City, and you don't know much about me, I am the regent of His Majesty the King, and all affairs in the country of Erus are related to me." ”

He turned to the king on the throne and bowed respectfully, "Am I right, Your Majesty?"

"Yes, he's right!" replied the king in a gruff voice.

"Don't you think that's weird, little villain?" said Rogge, who was sitting on a lampstand on the large chandelier in the center of the ceiling of the palace chamber, to the little furball beside him.

"Yes, yes, the king is so strange!" replied the little furball, shaking his little head.

"I'm not talking about the king!" Rogge glanced at her with a slanted eyebrow, lowered his head and fell on Ivan's smiling face, muttering, "If this guy is really William's man, why did he stop Goethe from killing Antonio?"

"Could it be that your old friend is so empathetic and don't fall in love?" Little Furball looked at Rogge with wide eyes gossipy, Rogge glared back at her angrily, rubbed the stubble on his chin with his hand and said: "If Ivan's goal is to kill Tali, then in the case of Tali being rescued, killing Antonio seems to be a greater gain." ”

"Maybe your old friend thinks the Grand Master is still useful!" said Little Furball, who looked omniscient.

"You've finally said something useful. Rog shrugged his eyebrows at her, turned his gaze to the king on the throne, and whispered, "Besides, you are not wrong when you said that the king is strange, I have felt that something is wrong with him from the first time I saw him, that is, when we were kicked out of the palace by him. ”

"Yes, yes, he eats such a big table of delicious food by himself, and he doesn't give it to us, how can such an old man eat so much!" said the little furball.

Rogge pursed his lips and looked back at her with a frown, the little furball looked at him innocently, and silently turned his little head behind his back, Rogge sighed helplessly, and looked down to see the high priest Goethe walking out of the hall with a look of chagrin, Ivan left with the footsteps of the high priest, and the king also left surrounded by the attendants.

"It's all gone, we should go too, follow Ivan to his house and have a look. Rog got up and jumped on the little owl's back and said to Lilith.

The little furball leaped down from the chandelier, spread her little wings and glided out of the door of the hall, flying out of the ceiling of the corridor, and she flew out of the palace and followed Ivan's carriage to Ivan's Earl's palace.

The little furball flew into the house through the window in the corridor on the second floor, and landed on the handrail railing at the staircase on the second floor, and heard Ivan's voice in the hall on the first floor telling the housekeeper, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps, she saw Ivan step up the stairs, and hurriedly jumped down from the railing and hid behind the railing.

Ivan, who ascended to the second floor, did not approach the place where the little furball was hiding, but walked directly to the corridor facing the stairs, opened the door of a room and walked in, the little furball poked his head out from behind the railing and looked around for a while, and after making sure that there was no one around, he flapped his little wings and flew to the door.

"The door is closed, what should I do, bad wolf?" asked the little furball, turning his little head behind his back.

"Little fool, I still praise you for being a professional thief, won't you go around the window?" said Rogge, sitting on her back and looking at her with his arms folded over his chest.

"Oh, got it. The little furball agreed, turned his head back for a moment, and then turned back and added: "I'm not a thief, I'm a good boy!"

"It's verbose. Rogge pouted and muttered.

The little furball flew out of the hallway window and turned around to the room where Ivan was, where she landed on the windowsill outside the window and squeezed through the cracks in the unclosed windows.

She crept out from behind the curtains, and while Ivan was sitting on the bed with his back to her, a puff of smoke flew to the cabinet in the corner of the room, and Rog jumped off her back, and stood with her on the edge of the cabinet to look at Ivan sitting quietly on the bed.

"What is he doing?" asked the little furball curiously.

"Shhhhh

Suddenly, Ivan, who was sitting on the bed, made some strange sound from his mouth, and Rog and Lilith looked at Ivan with his eyes closed blankly, seeing his hands dancing towards the air, and his body made various strange movements, which looked extremely weird.

Rogge and Lilith stared at him blankly, and after a while, the little furball turned back to Rog in confusion and asked, "Is he crazy, what the hell is he doing?"

"Don't ask, little child, close your ears and don't listen to his calls!" Rogge glared back at her, and his gaze fell on Ivan, who was acting strangely, and thought to himself: You bastard, how would your master William feel if he knew that you had used your mental possession magic to care for his beloved wife for the king?

"How do you close your ears, I can't pull my ears down like you!" The little furball's protest suddenly came, and Rogge, who was interrupted from his thoughts, turned his head and stared at her with a frown, saying, "Shut up, think about delicious food, and turn your attention away!"

"Oh!" the little furball pouted the little eagle beak in agreement, about three seconds later, Rog suddenly heard a loud "grunt" sound from the side, he turned his head and stared at Lilith in annoyance, the little furball looked at him innocently and said, "You made the family want to eat it, people haven't eaten dinner yet!"

"I can't stand you!" Rogge exhaled and said to Lilith, "You turn me back, I'll go to the other rooms and have a look, you can find food yourself, and let this bastard play here by himself!"

The little furball heard that he let himself go to find something delicious, so he happily quickly changed Rogge back to his original shape, turned around and flew out of the window with a smoke, and flew towards the kitchen following the smell of food, Rogge glanced at Ivan on the bed, and quietly opened the door and walked out.

He looked through the rooms on the second floor and found many highly poisonous plant extracts, which seemed to exude a rich fragrance like spices, but when Rog applied them to his silver sword, he saw that the surface of the silver sword was covered with a layer of black.

"Damn it, his home is a toxic storehouse. Rog wiped the poison off his sword, put it back in its sheath, and left the second floor to the first floor, where the butler and servants had gone back to rest, and the hall on the first floor was empty.

Following Tali's description, Rog eventually found the bottle containing the sea lizard grass powder, but when he took it down to look at it, he found it empty, and he placed the bottle on the ground and searched the other porcelain bottles around him, and found that there was nothing inside.

"Sure enough, it was premeditated!" Rog turned back to the empty bottle on the ground, picked it up and looked at the bottle and whispered to himself, "This guy deliberately put the powder of the sea lizard grass here, so that the trained parrot knocked it down when Antonio passed by, and sprinkled the powder on Antonio's body!"

"Then, as soon as Antonio comes home, whether it's the maid or Tali washing the garment herself, it will eventually cause Tali to reveal her mermaid identity and not be able to transform for a long time without detoxifying, the vicious scorpion!" Rogge thought as he put the bottle back on the cabinet.

"However, I didn't find the sea lizard grass on the second floor just now, and according to what Antonio told Tully, there must be a lot of poison powder in the bottle, and he must have some other place to hide the poison. ”

Rog thought about turning around and continued his search on the first floor, and soon found a secret door under the stairs leading to the second floor, and he carefully descended from the secret door to the basement, where he found a large number of rare and highly poisonous plants, as well as processed poisonous powder.

"This is sea lizard grass!" Rog picked up a lizard-shaped purple plant from a processing table and glanced down at a jar next to it, which contained a large amount of purple powder and a piece of paper pressed under the tube.

Rog put the sea lizard grass back in its place, picked up the piece of paper, and saw that it had a list written on it: lone wolf, knight, female spearman, mermaid, adventurer, with a checkmark at the back of the mermaid column, and then a cross crossed.

"This guy seems to want to finish us all off," Rogge muttered to himself, staring down at the "adventurer" at the end of the list, "but alas, his list is outdated and will never be completed." ”

He was about to put the list back in place when he heard Lilith's scream from the room above him.
