After too much stimulation, the person's reaction may become numb, so although it is completely impossible to imagine what it means for one person to take the body of another person, at least Tahi did not make any more fuss, just hugged the little child, and did not forget to help him wrap a layer of deerskin. Fortunately, the marquise must have used sleep techniques or other means on the child before escaping, so even after several dangers, he still slept soundly, and presumably did not leave any frightening memories.

But what kind of doom awaits behind that door?

Even if that person has become 'Salazie', even if he himself wears the armor of the royal guard, there are still too many flaws...... The fat armor that does not fit with the body will be a little swaying when walking, and it is impossible to keep the helmet mask all the time, not to mention that the three of them have returned like this, how can the whereabouts of the others not be asked? It's just a portal, if someone has already passed through and returned when they didn't notice it just now, then I'm afraid it will be the other party's big trap, at that time, with themselves and the teacher, how can they protect the marquise and this child?

Fortunately, the enemy also valued the child, as well as the Marquise, if absolutely necessary...... It can only be ......

Wrong!

The last resort is just a clumsy excuse, it is a hostage-taking, and he is such a child! In that case, is he not even more despicable than that man's behavior?

The messy thoughts were interrupted by the trembling of space, and the female knight looked up and saw a clear glow in the eyeholes of the mask...... Sparse stars on the horizon. It had faded away, and the ever-brightening blue-and-white colors reflected the vast eastern horizon. Undulating looming mountain shadows. Although it is only a small sign of the rising sun, it has a special beauty. Lingering in the heart.

In the field of vision, there are beautifully carved balustrades, and beyond that, there are rows of cyan along the gentle slope...... Numerous roofs and tree canopies stretch outwards to create a stunning community of beauty.

This is the stargazing platform of the Royal Palace...... The top of the palace.

Even if she has never actually set foot here, the unique continuous roofs around her make the female knight think of this place in an instant...... The related qiē also flooded back in the memory one by one, such as the highest place in the Imperial Palace. It is also one of the few buildings left in the fire that nearly destroyed the entire city, and it was the best place for emperors to overlook their homes before the Tower of Thunder appeared in Illyria, and it was also close to the sky, the 'Land of the Gods'. In addition to the stargazers authorized by the emperor, even the dukes of the prefectures and provinces had the opportunity to climb here to look at the scenery, which was regarded as an honor that the emperor absolutely trusted, enough to be recorded in the history of the family.

Although with the passage of years. The glory is gone, but the stargazing platform is still a forbidden place in the palace.

At this moment, however, dozens of people have gathered here.

Thirty royal guards in armor, their magic swords shining brightly. With the appearance of the five people, each moving slightly, the subtle sound of metal grinding seemed to have the sharpness of cutting hearing. And more than a dozen mages arranged a ceremony in the center to become a tour of the law. The brilliance of the magic flowed dazzlingly, making Tahi almost stiff all over!

The next moment. A dark red light fell from the sky, enveloping the five people......

Like a flash of blood, Tahi almost burst into flames and drew her sword. But a voice in her ear stopped her from moving—and the light fell, rising, and as usual.

But more subtle and more brilliant light descended in turn...... Then, as if he felt that she was not nervous enough, the 'Sword Master' began to urge in dissatisfaction, "Can you hurry up?"

"It is necessary, Your Excellency Salazie, you know ......"

"Of course I do, that's why I'm just going to make you quicker! Don't you know that a nobleman shouldn't show such a faux pas in front of anyone?"

"But Your Excellency, we need to keep you safe......"

"Keep me safe? Do you think I should believe your?"

Tahi Yuan hung her head slightly, listening to the unceremonious sneer of the 'Sword Master', she was a little glad that the helmet of this armor was fully covered, otherwise, others would have seen something flaw in her face, no, even from her rapid breathing, the unprecedented tension made her feel that the qiē around her seemed to become blurred, and the helmet was full of her own heavy gasps, mixed with a rapid heartbeat.

From that haze, every word of that person made her tremble, for fear that her identity would be exposed in the next moment.

But the man was so impressed that he didn't know what 'moderation' was: "Ah, yes, yes, I am the kind of person who believes, and who makes me listen to the folly of some men so often......? The result: an ambush? It's almost like they ambushed us!"

As a nobleman, though, he did have the need to be angry—thick blood was still dripping from their bodies, and the Sword Master who was not wearing armor was especially miserable, the well-tailored aristocratic garment was completely soaked in blood, and the pungent smell was half-dry. And apparently no one wants to bear the reproach of a sword master, even a mage, so this guy is getting more and more inches: "Enough, she just fainted, but this kid is a little troublesome...... Stop, it's not that, go find a priest, and where is the Elector? I have something to say to him. ”

"Your Excellency is still ...... at his command post"

"Which command post? You asked me to find them one by one?"

"It's still the office space of His Majesty. ”

"Hell, find someone to teleport us over...... By the way, you can't leave, hell! ”

The female knight almost gritted her teeth before she suppressed the urge to kick over. If what she thought could be turned into a voice, then Tahi might have woken up the whole city, but that 'Salazie' didn't mean to leave at all, fortunately. At this moment, there was a soft click. The space around her trembled violently, making her unsteady on her feet.

"Oh no!" the mage's leader's face changed dramatically. Ignoring the sword master in front of him, who was still messing around, he strode towards the node of the Tour of France ceremony: "Please get out of here quickly, Lord Salazie, the portal is malfunctioning." ”

So, in the midst of a period of chaos, the group finally walked down the stargazing platform in a certain way, and naturally a few maids waiting here took over the lady and the child and led them forward. And after walking out of a few corridors, Tahi finally found an opportunity. Quietly approached the 'Sword Master' and whispered, "Why don't you just destroy the portal?"

"That teleportation array is of the multi-point type, connected to several locations, and presumably used by them to deploy troops. ”

The answer sounded incomprehensible to Tahidi—if so, shouldn't it be destroyed so that the adversary would not carry out an even greater conspiracy?

"If you destroy it, then it's not to tell them, we're in, and what if it's destroyed? They will definitely repair it immediately, but if it's a slight disturbance in the teleportation circle. But without compromising integrity, what do you think they'll do?"

Naturally, they have to check every node and try it one by one, which is bound to be extremely time-consuming. So it's hard to see what the problem is.

"And, we've just teleported, and there's nothing wrong with it. Naturally, it will be immediately excluded, and what was originally the most important thing there has been brought back. So what is there to pay special attention to?" 'Juggernaut''s lips did not move, but his voice chuckled in the female knight's ear, "The teleportation circle is one of the most complex magical creations. If they want to repair it, they can't help it at all, except for mages who specialize in spells, even if they have enough manpower, and when they realize that the magic line is blocked...... Hehe, I guess it's the morning after tomorrow. ”

"Cunning!" Tahidi asked softly, grinding her teeth, "what are we going to do next?"

"Nothing. Rest, rest for a while. Not everybody has the opportunity to enjoy a suite in the palace, does he?"

"You're crazy, they're coming soon...... Belch. Tahi bit her lip violently, but the sound still caused the maids in front of her to turn their heads in confusion, but fortunately the women were obviously not vigilant, and did not stop when they realized that it was not an order. And the weak-hearted female knight could only listen to the man's laughter:

"The so-called organization is actually a very interesting thing, it is like a sophisticated machine. Well, well, if you don't know what a precision machine is, then you might as well imagine it as a person, do you know how people feel things? I don't know? It's through the nervous system that it feels different degrees of pain, whether it's your sense of touch, smell, sight or taste, it's actually pain, it's just pain in different places, it's just that the pain you feel on the tip of your tongue is sweet, the root is bitter, and the sides are sour...... Well, in short, these things are transmitted through the guò nerves, but because they are all painful, the strong ones will cover the weak ones, and if you feel the big ones, you will ignore the small ones, have you ever hurt until your eyes are black? That's it. ”

What does that have to do with us?

"Now, they are planning a big thing, or the resurrection of the emperor, or some other problem, at this time, if one or two communication soldiers forget to report that someone has just used the teleportation of this small matter, do you think anyone will pay attention?"

Of course, no one will pay attention, at least until someone brings it up again, but the mages on the stargazing platform are busy with repairs, and they may not even have time to speak...... But when did this man accuse the herald? and, even if he did, it wouldn't necessarily go undetected...... A mage's report, a servant's report, or even a casual question can make a qiē debunked!

What is this guy trying to do?

From the beginning, every word he said was a complete lie, and the purpose was completely vague, if he really just wanted the lady...... Just leave that town and teleport. But now, he has entered the palace of Illyria......

The royal palace of Illyria!

Tahidi's newly relaxed mind suddenly tightened again!

In this thousand-year-old court, there is such a dangerous assassin in the world, although in various legends, this continuous garden and palace contains hundreds of magical defenses of all kinds...... However, thousands of years have passed. There had never been such a terrible enemy in this strict system of magic! If he had gone to the Emperor with the face of a 'Sword Saint'...... The king has fallen, so how can the completely leaderless territories resist the attack of Tumenis?

"Rest assured. I wasn't interested in the old man's life. The man's voice once again pierced the female knight's thoughts, making her tremble all over: "What's more. In fact, if I don't have to kill him, I'm afraid his time is running out...... Maybe it's already been stolen and turned into a chicken. ”

The female knight frowned.

Even if you ignore the strange wording, can you believe this kind of assurance?

But what could he do on his own? Shout out to catch the spies? But what good would it do to do that? Although it was indeed possible for him not to cause more damage, it was also a failure, and neither the little prince nor the emperor himself could escape the control of the elector of Tiberius.

This qiē was obviously too complicated, and the power she could rely on now was really insignificant, no matter how she thought about it. It is also impossible to get a satisfactory answer.

So in this entanglement, the group has been arranged in a small hall. In terms of size, this may have been used to entertain some special guests, with at least three different layers of defenses, and the walls were also made of large stone bricks, but a few fancy rooms were decorated, although not in line with the status of the marquise, but given the current situation, it seemed to be quite a good arrangement.

Although it still makes it difficult for Tahi to sleep.

In order not to be seen as flawed. She didn't even go back to the room assigned to her, and simply cleaned her body with a magic trick instead of a bath - and the guy's lightness was a joke against her nervousness...... Enjoying the service of the maid, he changed into a neat soft robe. He casually got a bottle of wine from the wine shelf in the room and poured it for himself, half-squinting his eyes and not knowing what he was thinking, so leisurely that the female knight gritted her teeth but was helpless.

Of course. In fact, Edward was not as laid-back as he seemed.

Silver starlight shimmered in his eyes, and his vision had expanded to the edge of the palace.

Constrained by the limitations of the productive forces of this era. The scale of this thousand-year-old imperial capital is not much larger than that of Romandy. But at the level of energy, it is slightly better...... All of Romandy's magical protection was centered on the Academy, but the center of Illyria was in the inner city of the palace. Of course, under the investigation of divine power, most of the obstacles of mortals are meaningless, and even subtle, but not all places are like this, for example, a large area in the center, and several specific places are shrouded in strong energy protection, and that castle is the deepest one.

Even if he didn't deliberately probe, Edward could feel the strong demonic aura in it...... However, this richness has obscured his main goal.

So the psychic was a little hesitant.

For Isgandar, a thousand-year-old monster, in fact, from Edward's point of view, there is nothing to hesitate about, this guy relies on his strength to try to resurrect It is understandable, but the problem is that he didn't have long eyes to provoke Edward, who happened to be at the right time, and as a result, he lost his wife and broke his army, and now, the 'thousand-year emperor' who relies on the power of the devil to cross the continent, Edward is still completely disdainful, even if he has greatly relied on the power of hell, it is the same.

But his actions are not just to realize his personal ambitions - Asmodeus's strength has obviously increased a lot now, while the gods have suffered huge losses, and under the influence of Hell in the main material plane, it is a matter of course, if it is destroyed, the fragile tacit understanding after the previous partnership against the Goddess of Magic may disappear directly.

Staying in the main material plane, the current Edward is not afraid of the Lord of the Nine Prisons, but there is no need to make a feud with him, right?

His thoughts were interrupted by the soft knock on the door.

"Your Excellency Salazie. A maid entered the room and bowed: "The Marquise has woken up, and she has asked to meet you." ”

"Let her have a good rest, I don't have anything to say to her, by the way, you handed over the child to her?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. The casual answer made the maid stunned: "But the countess said that she must meet with you, otherwise she will come in person, so please ......"

What is this for?

"How did you bring me back?"

"Portal ...... Guò"

"Don't pretend to be foolish with me," said the Marquise, raising her voice sharply, "I mean, how did you hold that Edward back! or did he make some deal with you?"

"It's a pity, although he is very strong, but the strength of one person cannot be compared with the group, my strength and the strength of twenty mages combined, even if he is a real archmage, he can't compete. So, we finally rescued you, oh don't worry, your child is safe and sound, you will be able to see him soon. ”

The Marquise was silent.

(To be continued......)
