"Martin escaped?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"It seems that the gentleman and the merchant ghost still have something to say." The second prince slowly rubbed the gold ring on the thumb of his left hand.

"What about the cards?"

"He's got." Stanley said calmly.

"That's good, although there are some twists and turns in the process, the ending is finally achieved." The second prince replied.

He thought of the man who was still arrogant in front of his father, the "Purple Peacock" Michael, one of the three deacons of the Immortal Bird Monastery.

The Immortal Bird Monastery, one of the sacred sites of the Redstone Kingdom, is said to be in possession of the "Libra" deck, which contains the power of death and new life.

Legend has it that at the beginning of the establishment of the monastery, there was a widely circulated proverb:

"The black crow gives birth to the peacock, the peacock gives birth to the white bird, and the white bird carries the young immortal bird."

According to this proverb, the monastery also divided the ranks of the temple into black crow monks, peacock deacons, white bird abbots and the most mysterious immortal bird seat, among which the peacock deacon is divided into "green peacock", "purple peacock" and "flower peacock", in charge of different matters.

Micah, with his long blond hair, was the "purple peacock" who was consecrated by the abbot himself.

Yesterday afternoon, the proud purple peacock walked down Mount St. Athos and out of the monastery of the undead birds, which had only a few buildings but was one of the three holy places of the kingdom, to deliver to him the thirteenth secret decree of the abbot:

"Let the dog tag return to the dog."

This simple sentence is in stark contrast to the previous 12 presidential decrees.

You must know that this mysterious abbot is one of the beings who stands at the top of the faith in the kingdom and even in the continent of Mir, and his last edict is about the policy of the entire kingdom, and he calls on the people of the kingdom to "light the furnace and meet our lord in the flames." ”

This was in response to the policy of the "Iron Emperor" of the Red Rock Kingdom to establish the "Furnace Inventory".

The purpose of the policy was to better manage the population of the kingdom - a stove represented a family, and this policy was opposed by many people at the bottom.

He didn't know how the mysterious dean knew he was keeping xenos in captivity, but judging by the contents of the secret order, he didn't seem to be apprehensive or dissatisfied.

"Has the third child been dealt with?"

"It's done, and it's said that Princess Teresa fainted in the palace after hearing the news." Stanley replied respectfully.

"It's a woman's prerogative to faint." Brandt's eyes flickered with ambition and desire, and he clenched his fists.

-------------------------------------

Cavides, Red Chapel District, Frying Pan Lane.

As night approached the city, a large, dirty dog was limping through the alleys, covered in dust, and it was a beautiful Dalmatian dog to make out on closer inspection.

It came to a junction at the end of the alley, reached out to smell the air, and continued along the path on the left.

"I still can't smell the Shihian...," the Dalmatian dog lowered the corners of his eyes, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

It's Martin.

Three days ago, he was teleported here from the Golden Bird Palace by the seven-pointed star circle, and he learned from passers-by that this is a city called "Tree Capital", and the name is Cavides, which is the city that was going to host the "Reindeer Market" on the previous broadcast.

And why to make the tree, Martin is not very clear.

After two hungry meals here, he received the kind help of a blind pharmacist and was taken into storage in a pharmacy warehouse called the "Mercury Spring", where he finally had a decent place to stay and food to a certain extent.

After settling down a little, he tried to write a letter to the Queen, but he had waited three days for no reply from the Queen, not knowing whether it was because the symbols written by his paws were illegible or because the mailbox was copied.

"The queen said in her letter that she would teleport us to her national capital, but this is obviously a tree capital, and it also belongs to the Red Rock Kingdom, not the capital... What the hell is going on..."

For the past three days, he had been looking everywhere for traces of Sishian, they had been teleported at about the same time, and the location should be the same, but Kavides was too big, full of carriages, hawkers, homeless people, and policemen, and he had no clue.

Thinking of the weakened and injured state of Xixian before he was teleported, the worry in his heart grew more and more wide.

Although Stanley's previous words made him somewhat contradictory, the old man's words seemed to reveal a larger conspiracy.

He's managed to escape, but he doesn't know what he's involved in, what kind of world is this? What exactly is yourself? He had no clue.

The only one who could answer him so far was Xixian, but she was missing. Anyway, we have to find her first.

He looked at pedestrians of various body colors, and his current state did not allow him to ask for help, otherwise he would only be arrested and "burned in the inquisition".

He also met several stray dogs and tried to communicate, but the dogs either didn't respond or chased him to bite.

There was a little who bizarrely followed him for three streets, during which she kept rubbing his body against him and turning his belly in front of him, Martin didn't expect that he didn't have a girlfriend when he was a man, but he was so liked by the opposite sex when he was a dog.

It's a pity that this opposite sex is a dog.

Martin looked at the sky that was about to darken, and began to walk back the way he had come.

"That's it for today, otherwise it's already dark when you return to the [Mercury Spring], and there will be a lot of uncertainties and dangers."

He thought to himself. In the past few days, while searching for Sihian, he has seen several stray cats and dogs being grabbed by a group of people wearing black and white strips, and dragged away in a wagon.

It shouldn't be a good place to be towed.

And the reason why he was sure to get home before dark stemmed from his instinct as a dog.

He was reluctant to admit it, but he found it really easy to go home when the alley smelled of his own bodily fluids.

Martin was walking alone in the alley, and when he turned a corner following his own scent, several men suddenly appeared, blocked his way back and forth, and then rushed up and held him down.

Martin struggled desperately, but because of the injuries on his body, he was quickly tied up and stuffed into a sack.

The mouth of the bag was tied up, and Martin struggled in vain when he heard a man's voice say, "Johnny said, 8 copper holy water coins per dog, but it must be at least 50 pounds." ”

"Johnny drinks like that every day, can he still know how much this dog weighs? And this one is so big, it has to be 60 pounds! ”

"Hey, if it weren't for his size, I would have caught him yesterday! It's your turn. ”

The men were talking as they dragged sacks.

"Have you heard, the third prince was also killed while chasing a tainted giant dog, and the giant dog actually escaped, and the Foundation issued a wanted warrant and gave a bounty of 500 Holy Light Gold Coins!"

"Oh my God, I've only been working in the shipyard for 19 Silver Sacred Tree Coins! 500 gold is enough for our family to spend 10 years! ”

"Can a dog be a 'polluted' too? Luckily, my dog had been smuggled to Johnny by me," said one of the skinny men hunched up.

"Hey, he gave me 5 Bronze Elixir Coins! The people at the shelter said they would help, but they didn't give any of them! He said with some exasperation, as if he had a great deal of resentment towards what he called the "asylum".

"It's good you didn't give them the dogs, my union friend said that the shelter was experimenting with cats and dogs! I heard that people in the neighborhood could hear the miserable meow of cats every night, and it was useless to complain to the police department. ”

"John is right, compared to handing over to the shelter, there are at least 8 copper coins of holy water handed over to Johnny, and the next time I go to his 'baggage canteen' to eat, maybe I can get a free glass of 'half and half', last time I went with my wife, the taste of the wine, tsk, it's really good."

"That's because Johnny has a crush on your wife, you stupid donkey!"

"You are!"
