Yes, if the demons and archmages succeed in killing Prince Verdor Crane and his son, Princess Sayari Crane will have to ascend to the throne of the Emperor. "Convincing Her Highness the Princess that she would agree to the throne is no easy task. Nya told Ness and the halfling how the Chancellor had persuaded his wife: "The Baron tried and persuaded and persuaded the princess and the princess, who had thought about it for days before agreeing. "If you say yes, when Princess Sayari Klein changes her title from princess to empress, she will naturally have the power to keep the thieves' guild alive in Onyx, and it may only take a few years for the thieves' guild to return to its former glory, if the Minister of State does not break its promise.

There was no one on the street. Outside the Chancellor's House was a wide street, but it was unusually deserted at the moment, and most of the officials who lived near the Posili's House were members of the National Assembly, and most of them had been pulled out of their homes by the noise of the city last night, and they rushed around to see what was going on, so Ness and the others only had to cross the empty street in front of them to enter the Chancellor's House. "Prince Verdor Klein, Prince Leo Klein, Count Brad Klein, these three men will surely die, and we have a credit for that. Ness counted, turning her head to give her sister and her mentor a look, signaling that it was safe to move on, and Nya led the way to the side door of the Chancellor's Palace, followed by the frowning, silent halfling Edgar.

There was no need to climb over the walls of the Chancellor's House or to talk to the old man guarding the side door of the Chancellor's House, where a man in a brown robe was waiting for them, and as soon as they met, they were taken directly to the study of the Chancellor, Baron Wesley Rueda.

"You've succeeded, what about the Earl's head?" the Baron sat at his desk when Ness suddenly noticed that his expression was a little sluggish, and the halfling elder tossed the pocket beside him to the floor. A head with short blond hair rolled out of its pocket. "This is what you want, and what about our pay? I don't seem to see the traitor. Edgar asked.

"Traitor...... Oh yes. Traitor. Isaac. Baron Wesley Ruda's eyes frantically looked around, and finally stopped on the face of the man who led the Dark Elf sisters and their guide into the study: "Isaac, he ran away......"

"What?" the halfling's voice echoed through the spacious study. "What does that mean, we went to assassinate the Count, and you let the traitor escape?"

Baron Wesley Rueda kept licking his lips: "I, I...... I didn't expect him to be so shrewd, I, I have sent someone to guard it. ”

The halfling elder clenched his fists and glared at the Minister of State viciously. This made the baron look as if he was trembling: "Anyway, he, he fled." Someone saw him running in the direction of the East Gate, and you said, did you say yes, Austin?" the baron looked at the man in the brown robe, and Ness seemed to hear the sound of teeth colliding against each other from the baron's mouth.

The halfling turned and glanced at the man, who had been standing silently by the door of the study since the Dark Elf sisters and their instructor entered the study, and only then did he speak, "I am Austin of the Mage Guild of Onyx City. There has never been much contact between the Thieves Guild and the Mage Guild, but we, the Mage Guild, share our condolences for the death of President Neo Faun. ”

"Mage's Guild?" the halfling tilted his head. Look closely at Austin's face, a rather frailty-looking young man, if you shave off that jet-black mustache. Maybe some people will think that he is only twenty years old. His brown robe was not embroidered with any signs or decorations, not even the magic pockets or charms that are common to ordinary mages, and the entire room, whether it was a dark elf, a halfling, or a state secretary, all had a grim face, except for Austin, who still had a smile on his face: "Yes, Mage Guild." We've tracked down Isaac, the traitor you are talking about, who has fled through the night to hide in the village of Redfish just outside Onyx. ”

"Where does he want to escape?" the halflings had been to Redfish and had even befriended Anthony Coma, the head of Redfish Village, and the thieves' guild had transported some secret goods to the head of Redfish Village.

Austin nodded slightly: "Yes, we guess Isaac is trying to find a boat in Redfish Village and head south, but with the recent situation, it seems that Isaac will not be able to find a boat in the next two days." Therefore, the Mage Guild has decided to wait for you, the Avengers from the Thieves' Guild, after deliberation, believing that revenge will be a delicious dish cooked by your own hands. ”

The halfling elder's hand rested on the handle of the long dagger at his waist, and he turned to look at the Secretary of State, who now looked like a pile of mud spread out on his desk: "We'll come back to you." We'll take care of the traitor's matter ourselves, and you won't forget it. The halfling walked to the door of the study, and Austin moved slightly and moved out of the way. "Nia, Ness, let's go to Redfish Village. ”

It wasn't until the Dark Elf Sisters and their mentor's footsteps disappeared from the corridor that the Secretary of State exhaled deeply, "Mr. O, Mr. Austin, is this all right? Let them go to Redfish Village to die......

"You idiot, you can't even tell a lie. Austin looked at the baron contemptuously: "The president is right, you are a guy who is strong on the outside." But forget it, as long as you have a qiē shun lì, you can go to your maids with peace of mind with the title of prince!"

It's the time of the Emperor's carriage parade on weekdays...... Archbishop of the Green Leaf Church, Zeni Keamo, rode on his horse and silently reviewed the procession following behind him, nearly five hundred knights, bishops, and priests, who were the elite of the former Knights of the Holy Light, had all left Onyx City with their leader and archbishop, and came to a place not far from the east gate of Agate City.

It is a wide road with the flowing Lena River on the left and dense woods on the hillside on the right, and it is a short walk to the village of Red Fish, which is famous for its plump red fish. "We'd better divert south in front of Redfish Village. "It was the prince and the princess Shanna who spoke. Her son, Leo, was sitting in front of her saddle, drowsy. Her husband, Prince Fodor Klein, was in the only carriage in the procession, without it. The team was at least twice as fast, but even though she could no longer find the slightest breath of life in the prince, Shanna insisted on taking the prince away.

"Hmm. If I'm not mistaken, a little further on, the hillside will be flatter, and from there we'll cross the forest. "The archbishop was a little worried about whether the carriage would be able to make its way through the forest, but it would have been an even worse idea to go to Redfish Village and find a boat to go south along the Lena River: the ships of the Dragontooth Knights would not let them leave easily. The only thing the archbishop found strange was that it had been several hours since he had led his men out of the Imperial Capital Prison, and there was no sign of him at all. "Your Royal Highness the Prince, where do you plan to take His Royal Highness's body to be buried?"

"South, that place where there is no order......" Shanna put her arms around her son in one hand and the holy staff in the other, and glanced meaningfully at the carriage: "Our greatest enemy is not the earl, but ......"

Shanna stopped talking, and the archbishop asked no more questions, though Prince Verdor Klein was the heir to the throne. But such blatant poisoning and assassination is not the style of the head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, who is known as the Bloody Earl. "If it's an earl. I'm afraid I wouldn't use poison as a method. So the archbishop thought and rode on until he saw the girl by the roadside.

The girl's light brown eyes were unusually bright, and she was wrapped in a common cloak, and the lady's costume under the cloak was faintly visible, and as soon as she saw the large number of knights slowly moving forward and the archbishop Zeni Keamo walking at the front of the procession, her face showed a look of delight, and she began to beckon to the archbishop: "Mr. Knight, Mr. Knight!"

The archbishop reined in his horse's head and frowned, it was not the first time the archbishop had encountered the girl, she had intercepted the archbishop's horse near the church of the green leaves, and had sued Prince Sùtaver Klein for danger. Although in the end it did not match the girl's words, the Blood Griffin Knights did not attack the Imperial Capital Prison but went to the Green Leaf Church, but the prince was indeed assassinated, and what news would this girl tell him this time, and how much could her message be credible? With these questions, the archbishop jumped off his horse and walked in the direction of the girl: "Who are you, what are you doing here, and what is your purpose?"

"Yo, what an impolite archbishop. The girl didn't come forward, but just flicked her long hair casually in place: "I'm just kindly trying to tell you a little news." ”

"News?If you hadn't said that the Blood Griffin Knights would attack the Imperial Capital Prison, I wouldn't have left the Green Leaf Church with most of the Holy Light Knights, and the Green Leaf Church wouldn't have been destroyed. The archbishop stopped and looked at the girl in front of him. "In the end, we were unable to protect His Royal Highness, and even the Green Leaf Church was lost, so your news is of little use. ”

The girl sneered, "Hmph, are these my responsibilities? I didn't say that you would be able to protect your prince when you go to the Imperial Capital Prison, let alone that there would be no Blood Griffin Knight to attack the Green Leaf Church, right?"

The archbishop was unable to answer for a while, in fact, he did not lead the knights of the Holy Light to the Imperial Capital Prison, not just because he heard the news of this girl, but he did not expect to be intercepted by the Dragontooth Knights outside the Imperial Capital Prison, and the murder of Prince Fì Verdor Klein.

"Well, or maybe my message wasn't clear enough. The girl laughed: "This time I will definitely speak more clearly, but not too many people will hear it!"

The archbishop understood what the girl meant, raised his hand to stop the knights behind him, and then pressed the long sword at his waist with one hand and slowly walked to the girl: "Tell me, what is the news that made you appear in front of me again." ”

"You're very vigilant, Bishop. It's just that ......" The smile on the girl's face suddenly disappeared, and her eyes were fixed on the team behind the archbishop, and when he saw the girl's expression was different, the archbishop quickly looked back, just in time to see a huge spider jumping out of the Lena River and landing in the middle of the group.

"Demon Hunting Spider?" the Archbishop couldn't help but cry out. This evil creature. Even the Archbishop of the Green Leaf Church, Zeni Keamo, had only seen it in books: the Demon Hunter from the Abyssal Demon Realm. It was created by using evil spells. Usually servants of demonic nobles.

The Witching Spider's movements were quite fast, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen knights of the Holy Light had fallen under its four front feet with machete-like claws, and the Archbishop could no longer care about the girl still standing behind him, and drew his sword and tried to run in the direction of the Hunting Spider. The attack of the Demon Hunter Spider caused chaos in the team, several Holy Light Knights drew their long swords and raised their spears to stab at the Demon Hunter Spider, but they were unable to cause any damage to it, and the Holy Light Knights and Green Leaf Clergy on the periphery raised their crossbows or staffs in their hands, but the arrows and magic missiles scattered like raindrops could only rub against the skin of the Demon Hunter Spider, and even accidentally injured several of their companions. Seeing that the situation was not good, the princess Shana hurriedly raised the holy staff in her hand, ready to cast her magic, her magic had been very powerful outside the imperial capital prison gate, and the archbishop from Zeni Keamo, who was about to rush in the direction of the demon hunting spider, hoped that Shanna's magic would now work as well.

Two things that happened almost at the same time. Let the hopes of the archbishop of the Green Leaf Church be dashed. A long serpent-like whip was flung out of the woods by the roadside and wrapped directly around the scepter in Shanna's hand, while a sharp claw pierced the archbishop's shoulder armor and scattered drops of blood through the archbishop's shoulder. The archbishop snorted and turned to find that the girl had changed, or that she could no longer be called a girl at the moment, two sharp horns emerging from her forehead, and a pair of dark red leather wings spread out behind her. The archbishop immediately understood that it was a demon standing behind him and piercing him in the shoulder with his claws.

If it weren't for the slightest wind that caused the archbishop to turn sideways in time, it should not have been his shoulder that the demon's claws pierced at this moment, and the demon, whose skin was gradually turning red, sneered and withdrew his hand, avoiding the slash of the archbishop's sword on her arm.

Face a demon alone. It could already be called a nightmare, and as Archbishop Zeni Keamo turned around, another red figure standing up from the woods caught his eye.

Demon Hunter Spider. There are two more demons, it's over. The Archbishop thought as he quietly glanced out of the corner of his eye at the procession behind him, the Knights of Light and the Leafy Priests were busy dealing with the slaughtering demon spiders, while the princess Shanna was clinging to her son, glaring at the demon whose flames had set the woods on fire beside the road.

The archbishop gritted his teeth and pounced on the demon in front of him, who had once disguised himself as a girl: "In the name of Lena, the goddess of the earth, go to hell, demon!"

This was the first time Archmage had seen Princess Sayarily Klein in person, and she was much more beautiful than rumored, with soft blonde hair and turquoise eyes like the other members of the Crane family, but Archmage Archman always felt that the princess's pointed chin was always a little too sharp. The princess did not punish Aqiman for not kneeling down with the members of the Agate City Mage's Guild, "He who does not know is not guilty." After a gentle sentence, the princess went straight to the point: "You are the mage who holds the Book of the Moon, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness Princess. Aqiman lowered his head slightly, calculating the princess's intentions. The throne and the Book of the Moon, these are the two things that the princess wants. The throne has already fallen into the hands of the princess, as long as nothing else, and the Book of the Moon, the princess will directly ask him to hand it over. And Aqiman has nothing to do about it: "The Book of the Moon is on the table over here, Your Highness the Princess." ”

"The Book of the Moon, the treasure of my father. The princess stepped to the table and set her eyes on the Book of the Moon on the table, "Your name is Aqiman, right? I heard your teacher, Fakui Yeman, mention that you have a demonic companion from afar. If I'm not mistaken, that demon is the sinner who killed my father?"

Aqiman suddenly felt that someone next to him was pulling his trouser legs, and the force was very clever enough to make Aqiman's right foot soften slightly, and he immediately knelt down on one knee: "Ahem, although, yes, uh, but just now I have, I have ......"

"We've just destroyed that demon, and all the members of the union who went with me can attest to that, Your Highness the Princess. The man who picked up Aqiman's words was none other than his teacher, Fakui Yeman, who was kneeling behind Aqiman's right side.

"That's fine, although it is a great merit to dedicate the Book of the Moon to me, it is not enough to make up for the sin of killing the king. The princess sighed slightly, but Aqiman was surprised to find that he could not find a trace of sorrow on the princess's face: "Since the sinner has been duly punished, then, Aqiman, you must not take this matter to heart in the future." As long as you serve me wholeheartedly, I will not treat you badly. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness the Princess, for your grace. "Serve the princess wholeheartedly?" The Holy Asyre Empire, which has a history of more than 1,000 years, has never had a mage participate in government affairs, and the Mage Guild of Onyx City has never had any contact with the royal family.

"Others, too, will gain more honor and status than you ever imagined if you serve me, the Empress of the Holy Acer Empire. You all know the power of the former Green Leaf Church, and that will be what the Mage Guild will gain in the future. The princess's eyes swept over the mages present, and their puzzled expressions were clearly visible: "It seems that Fagui Yeman did not reveal my plans to you at all. Very well done, Fakui Yeman, you can officially take over the position of president of the Onyx City Mage Guild. Explain to them what has happened and what you are going to do, this is your first task as president of the Mage's Guild. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess, for your grace. "Fa Qu Yeman sounded behind Aqiman, it turned out that Princess Sayari Klein was actually the president of the Mage Guild? This is no less than the strange news that Count Brad Klein was possessed by a demon. With the "hissing" of the robes, Fakui Yeman stood up and walked over to the princess to face the mages of the Onyx City Mages Guild who surrounded them. The new president of the Mage's Guild was about to speak, when three orbs of light similar to when the princess had come appeared in the hall, and three men in brown robes emerged from the orbs of light and knelt down in front of the princess.
