Xing Han asked a little confused, "Bet?

Merlo pinched the blood-stained piece of glass and said slowly, "Bet on our chances of being discovered." ”

"Hah?!That kind of thing can be seen at a glance that Lan did it, Maxelle set this trap to target Lan!"

"Mr. Xinghan, listen to me. Merlot let out a sigh of relief and said, "If we can make Maxelle think that the murderer is someone else, then we will lead her to another path, and as for her to believe it or not, this is what we are going to bet on." ”

Xing Han didn't speak, the luck component in Mei Luo's method was too high, in case Maxelle was not fooled, not only Lan, but even Ice Pupil and them would be in danger. However, if she succeeds, on the one hand, she can get rid of Lan's nemesis, and on the other hand, she can temporarily follow her misdirection to find other places.

"Anyway, let's wait and see, if the matter is revealed, I have other ways to hide it, but if it is discovered, it is better to be prepared to run away next time. Mr. Xinghan, do you know where Maxelle is?" Merlo tossed the glass into the trash can next to her, where the garbage was thrown out of the King's City at regular intervals every day, hoping that the shard would not be found.

"I'm afraid only Lan knows about this, by the way, how is her injury?"

Merlo shook her head: "The disinfection is not very thorough, now we must go to the outside of the King's City and use magic to completely repair it, otherwise such a wound will become infected in a day at most." ”

"Is there no way?"

"Well, Mr. Xinghan, you take Lan outside first, and I'll stay here to investigate the book. Merlo opened the door and walked to the hall, picked up the book that Hoshihan had placed on the table, and sat down on the throne.

He hadn't noticed why Lan liked to sit in that position to read books so much, and after Merlo sat up, he realized that that place had always been a dead end of the surveillance system, and it was impossible to see what was going on below, and it was precisely because of this that Lan chose this place as a place to read books.

At about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Lan who was sore finally woke up, and after a simple breakfast, she followed Xing Han to the outside of the King's City, the day was very smooth, Maxelle didn't seem to be as smart and cautious as she imagined, otherwise she would have found here with Wang Bian's troops.

When you come to the café where you meet Merlo, no one usually comes, and the manager and staff seem to be very kind, so it would be nice to use this as a secret outside base for the time being.

"Xing Han, what would you do if I was caught by the king?" Xing Han's magic slowly injected into Lan's wound, taking advantage of this opportunity, Lan raised his head and asked.

"Of course I rescued you, don't forget what I'm here for. ”

"But in the King's City, you can't fight the king, and the number of those king's troops alone is amazing, and you can't do it alone. ”

"Then I'll get you out of it too, no matter what. ”

Looking at Xing Han's determined eyes, Lan couldn't bear to continue asking for a while, since he drew a line with Liva Brightman, he has been taken care of by him, and he doesn't know what attracts him about this young man, it may be a certain expression, or it may be a certain temperament.

"Is it okay to leave it all to that kid alone?" Lan asked suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Xing Han wondered.

"Since last night, fighting, covering, investigating, dealing with the aftermath, until the deciphering of the things in the book just now, is it okay to leave it all to her alone? ”

It's true that some of them rely on Merlot too much these days to even think about it, because there is Merlot who is smarter than me, and it's time to dispel this inertia!

"Also...... If Maxelle takes advantage of my absence to trouble Merlote, what can she do as a girl......" Lan showed a worried look, but it was also her own territory, and she shouldn't dare to be presumptuous enough to provoke herself directly, after all, the level of suppression still exists, and she is just a small character among the many nobles.

"I know, I'll speed up the process, just go back before dark, right?"

Lan shook his head suddenly, and said, "No, I mean, Xinghan, you leave me alone, go back now, it doesn't matter how the palace is, if something happens to Mei Luo, it will be bad." ”

"Then what do you do?" Xing Han was a little uneasy, and after hesitating for a while, he still didn't agree.

"I'll use magic to temporarily seal the magic you left behind, but come back quickly, I can last about twenty minutes at most. You know, magic has always been the last thing I'm good at...... If it fails, you'll have to start all over again, and you won't be able to go back until dark. As she spoke, Lan took out a playing card from her pocket, and said that when she first met her, she did show herself that she was not at all magical, and now it seems that Lan has grown a little bit during this time.

"Well, then you wait for me here, I'll be back soon!"

Xinghan hurriedly left the café, Lan breathed a sigh of relief, put the playing cards back in his pocket and said to himself, "Stupid, how can I do magic......"

"Next, how do you keep this magic?" Lan looked at the light green fluorescence on the wound, which was gradually dissipating, "It seems that this is the only way, father, this is what you taught me, it's time to use it......"

"Physical arts, broken wheels, open!"

Hurried back to the city of kings, there was nothing unusual until the palace, and when he just entered the palace gate, a strong smell of blood quickly hit, Xing Han's breathing instantly became short, and it was not like this when he left at noon, the corridor was splashed with scarlet blood, as if he had been slaughtered by someone, but the ground was extremely clean.

"Merlot!"

"Merlot!"

Open the door at the end of the hallway, and the hall inside is the same scene, the walls are covered with blood and the floor is clean.

"Merlot, where are you?!"

The book of despair on the table was still there, and at this moment, a slender arm suddenly stretched out behind him and wrapped its arms around his waist, and ran desperately to the side room.

"Mr. Xinghan, don't make a sound, I'll explain to you later. ”

After hearing that it was Mei Luo's voice, Xing Han's hanging heart finally relaxed, and after following Mei Luo to the room, he turned his head to see that Mei Luo was standing in front of him unscathed, but how to explain the blood stains outside?

"Merlot, what's going on here?"

Merlot seems to have just experienced some mental shock, and she hasn't recovered for a while, and her breathing is not very smooth: "Maxelle has been here......"

"What?!"

She had brought about ten soldiers with her, but as soon as they came in, the woman named Maxelle killed all the soldiers behind her. ”

"Killed?" Xing Han subconsciously looked at the pool of blood that had not yet been wiped off at the door of the room.

"Well, although I don't see exactly what kind of weapon she is using, if she fights her in the King's City, I'm afraid there are few people who will be her opponents. ”

"Why? Is she amazing?"

Those soldiers were worthy of being the people of the king's troops, and they had the idea of resisting at the first time, but they were not her opponents alone, and they finally became the miserable situation outside. What made me even more curious was that she didn't have any magical powers, but she could make me feel magic. I've never encountered this kind of feeling before, and I can actually use magic in the city of kings, that's what I thought just now. Merlo thought for a long time before she said.

"Do you use magic in the City of Kings...... Now, Merlot, does this have anything to do with what you said yesterday?"

"Mr. Xinghan is talking about the throne, huh...... I don't think I can leave it alone, this may be the only vulnerability of the anti-magic forces in the King's City, and if you take advantage of this weakness, even in the King's City, it will be like outside. ”

The only headache in the City of Kings is the unreasonably large anti-magic armament, which can not only resist all magic, but also completely incapacitate those who are inside. In this way, the king is everything here, whether it is law or force, and he does not need to make a move at all to get anyone to the point he wants.

"Maxelle left the place after killing the soldiers, without asking any questions, as if she had come to show me the men. Merlo recalled the previous scene, and only the word blood was in her mind, I don't know why, the blood of those soldiers would spray so high, what kind of weapon could do it?

"Later, the other patrol guards of the King's City cleaned up the place, and the blood stains on the floor could be washed away, but it was difficult to wipe off the walls, and it always felt a little eerie and breathless. ”

In a trance, Xing Han remembered the purpose of his coming here: "I don't have time to talk about this, come with me, Lan thinks it's safer for you to stay with us." ”

Merlo followed Xinghan all the way to the café, where the manager was still wiping the cup that was about to rub off the paint at the front desk. Lan sat in the position before he left, and the whole person looked exhausted, as if his body had been emptied.

"Hey, it's okay, is that magic trick so hard to master? You're tired like this. Xing Han glanced at the wound on Lan's abdomen, the magic on it had not yet dissipated, and then he only needed to continue to infuse the magic power and replace the threads used for suturing.

"You're finally back...... Then it seems that I can also ......" Lan just relaxed, and his nose subconsciously sniffed beside Merlo, "Merlo, where did the smell of blood on your body come from?"

After explaining everything to Lan, she nodded reassuringly, "What the hell is Maxelle going to do? That woman is really incomprehensible......"
