On the wooden table in the command room, the only small magic crystal lamp quietly lit up the empty room.

There were no windows in the room, and there was no way to escape, but Vincent kept the remaining knights in the room. Aisha sat in her chair and kept looking around, and several times she stared intently at the knight at the door, as if she wanted to say something, but after all, she didn't speak.

Time seems to pass very slowly, and although the two of them are not tied to their chairs, they can attract attention even if they stand up and move around under such close surveillance. Aisha turned his gaze to Ivan, who was staring at his finger, wondering if it was convenient to talk to Ivan.

"Hmm...... How long will it take?" she asked, looking up, cautious.

None of the knights around answered, and if it weren't for the sound of their panting, they would be almost like decorations, still braving cold decorations. Aisha waited for a moment, bowed her head sullenly, and let out a long breath.

Ivan cocked up his finger and motioned for her to be silent. He turned his head to stare at the wooden door behind the knight, who stared at him sternly, as if to warn him.

It's annoying.

How long they will have to wait, presumably they don't know.

However, since Vincent didn't want to offend the Demon Mentoring Alliance, he shouldn't keep them here, and if they insisted on rushing out, they would give Vincent a reason to imprison them.

Vincent suspected that they were colluding with the demons, and this was bad enough! After all, this was someone's country. As soon as he remembered Vincent saying something of unknown meaning with a gentle smile on his face, Ivan felt a stuffy mass in his chest, and he was very annoyed. However, if you think about it, the timing of the attack of those monsters of Sloth is indeed too strange, as if you know everything about this place.

Sloth must have known that Vincent was on the watchtower at this time! she even knew that Selin wasn't with Vincent. With such a clear grasp, how could it not make people suspect that someone in the know had reported to her? Could it be that there was really someone colluding with the demons? Just like Marven and his son?

But how did that man do it in this heavily guarded city?

Who could that person be?

A figure flashed through his mind, but soon Ivan shook his head, rejecting the thought that had popped up. It is impossible for Selin to have dealings with the demons, she is the judge of the Wizard Alliance, and Ivan met her not long ago in Idgrasiu, the core city of the Wizard Alliance, and when she told Vincent's whereabouts, she only said that Vincent was in the barracks in the northwest corner, with General Thames. King Vincent couldn't have stood on the watchtower from morning to afternoon like a sentinel, there must have been someone who knew the exact point of King Vincent and could quickly send the news to Sloth.

And one more strange thing.

Sloss seemed to have taken the initiative to put away the snowstorm at that time, and was she ready to retreat at that time? Selin hadn't arrived yet, what was she doing that? Sloss's thoughts, and Vincent's thoughts, couldn't figure it out at all.

"Stop!"

The doorkeeper's muffled shout sounded outside the door, and Aisha raised her head suddenly, and her bright purple eyes flashed with hope. However, then, she was stunned for a moment, and her eyes became a little confused.

"I am the Inquisitor of the Templar of the Templar Alliance, Caterina Serin. The knight was answered by an equally deep female voice, "I have brought orders from His Majesty Vincent." Open the door immediately!"

For some time afterward, Aisha and Ivan held their breath, and after about half a minute, the lock snapped open, and the knights quickly formed two teams and stood on either side of the door. Ivan noticed that the knights still looked a little unwilling, but it was probably that Selin did bring Vincent's orders, and they could not disobey them.

Selin stood right in the middle of the door, her dignified face illuminated by the white magic crystal light, and she smiled and held out her hand to the children.

"It's all right, let's go. ”

On the way to the barracks, Aisha had been frowning slightly. The hem of Selin's long trench coat fluttered with his footsteps, and the bloodstains swayed with it, which was quite treacherous. After leaving the command room, Selin returned the two of them to the magic magic weapon, and told them that Mr. John was all right, and that he was resting in the barracks, and that she was about to pay a visit.

"Let's go together. Serin kindly extended an invitation to them.

After walking a distance, and when the knights were completely inaudible as they left, Aisha couldn't hold back the confusion in her heart, and she took a few steps to catch up with Selin.

"Lord Selin...... You, you really didn't know it before...... Mr. John's whereabouts?"

As soon as the words came out, Aisha regretted it, and she quickly looked away, and Selin turned her face sideways, and there was a hint of regret in her calm smile.

"I really don't know. I came with His Majesty King Vincent, and before coming to Price, I went to Ode, the capital of the kingdom of Aura. Mr. John Yafel heard that he was temporarily joining the army as a special soldier, and I had not met him before. ”

"But, but ......"

How do you explain it?

Mr. John and Mr. Selin didn't actually meet. It made sense, but Aisha just felt that something was wrong. She looked at Selin wryly.

"Has Vincent already found out the truth of the matter?" Ivan was more concerned about the person who was colluding with Sloth at this time, "Does he know who reported to Sloth?"

Selin's footsteps paused.

"He hasn't gone to investigate yet—I'll go back to Ode City first, and General Thames and I will take care of this side of the matter. ”

Selin's tone was very light, she raised her hand to comb her long hair, and smiled slightly at Ivan, "I vouch for you in the name of the Judgment Temple, the people of the Demon Alliance do not need to be personally interrogated by His Majesty of the Aura Kingdom." In addition, since Vincent's life was in danger of staying in Price City, it would be more appropriate to return to the capital in order to reassure the soldiers defending the city. I made a pact with him. ”

"Promise?" said Ivan and Isha almost in unison.

"Hmm. I said that as long as he promised to return to Oder, I would promise to use the power of the Alliance to drive Sloth and her demon men out of Orrah's territory within ten days. However, King Vincent didn't trust me very much. ”

Selin smiled wryly.

"So we put one more condition on top of that. He will let his knights stay and assist me, a condition I cannot refuse. ”

The so-called assistance should be "surveillance......

Ivan couldn't help but frown. He knew that Selin had an extremely important status, and even if Vincent was the king, he should be jealous, but this person showed that he trusted the alliance on the one hand, and was suspicious on the other. Ivan secretly made up his mind to wait until John's injuries stabilized, and then left this place of right and wrong as much as possible. He didn't want to be involved in complicated political relationships at all, and now they couldn't beat Sloth, and they would only be inexplicably treated as suspicious people and get into a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, he reached out and grabbed Aisha and whispered his thoughts to her.

P.S. Recently, some readers said that the recent plot is not easy to understand, in fact, there are more pits recently, there are some things, I am just burying some small foreshadowing now, and the truth will soon surface. In this book, no one is omniscient, so there are always things that are misunderstood, concealed, and distorted, just like in the fourth chapter, Sylvia thinks that Devany is the culprit, but what about the facts? The "facts" seen from the eyes of a certain character are not necessarily the facts, just like each of us looks at things from a different perspective, I want to write about the real experiences of these characters in this world, and bring these experiences to the readers. I admit that I still have a lot of immaturity, and I believe that with your support, Hazuki will write better.

Well...... Since a reader has raised it, let's give a small hint: someone has lied, not by Vincent's hypocritical words, but by deceit. There is an animal that appears in the scene several times, so you can pay attention to it.
