Princess Sylvana is missing!

When Constantine XI broke the armrest of the throne in a fit of rage, the news of the princess's disappearance spread to every corner of the Lion Crusader City, and the Black Rock Skull Guards found the body of Princess Sylvana's attendant Shalene in the dense forest near Wolkeya Falls, as well as a large number of improvised traps on the way to Wolanya Falls. Judging from the traces of the fight at the scene, Sha Lin was slapped to death by the knight's giant sword, and her entire chest cavity was sunken into it to cause death, and her eyes were round and round, as if she was indicting the cruelty of the murderer. Constantine XI closed Sharin's eyes with his own hands, and a devastating rage erupted into the sky, and then he drew the knight's greatsword that had followed him for many years, and vowed to crush the murderer to ashes.

However, the news of the disappearance of the fourth prince Elvis made Constantine XI angry, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood in front of all the ministers and nobles and fainted directly. When the priest of the royal city finally woke up the king with great effort, the already depressed king looked at the people around him with his lifeless pupils, and said after a long time: "Tell Andrew Allenhall that even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find Sylvana and Elvis, and you have to see people in life and corpses in death." At the same time, I will send an edict to inform the city defense army that the city of the Lion Crusader has entered a state of readiness, and that a curfew will be imposed on the whole city, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! I will not find two people in two days, and I will bury them with the whole city, including you rebels who have always wished that I would die sooner, and all of them should step down! After two days, don't find any excuse for me to cut you down, otherwise I will definitely make your life worse than death. Constantine XI looked at Douglas and Garfield, who were kneeling respectfully on the ground in front of him, and left with a cold snort.

The Lion War Crusader City is completely chaotic, the originally dormant undercurrent is completely panicked under the desperate oracle of Constantine XI, if the king can't give a satisfactory answer in two days, the Black Rock Skull Guardian Group will launch a bloody purge of the entire War Lion Crusader City, whether it can be spared, no one dares to guarantee. Everyone went crazy and searched for the whereabouts of Princess Sylvana and Her Highness Elvis, and this vivid feeling of the countdown to life made the entire inhabitants of the Lion Crusader City fall into extreme despair.

At this time, in the basement of the rock house in the slums, the two people who had made the entire Lion Crusader City into a pot of porridge were sitting there quietly chatting, while Cohen and the others were nowhere to be found, and only Camille was holding the knight's giant sword quietly leaning against the wooden door at the entrance of the first floor and closing his eyes to recuperate.

Elvis took his sister's hand and lay comfortably in her arms, and carefully told Sylvana what had happened in the past two days from beginning to end, when she learned that it might be the queen mother who arranged for Camille to send Elvis away and arrange for the assassins to hunt down the two, Sylvana's eyes flashed a hint of coldness, and her hands involuntarily clenched Elvis's small hands.

"Sister, you hurt me!" Elvis rubbed Sylvana's chin with his little head in dissatisfaction. Sylvana glanced at Elvis apologetically, gently stroked Elvis's face with her little hand, and said, "Sister will definitely seek justice for you, and Sharin's death must be paid by them in blood!"

Elvis nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I know who is the murderer who chased me and Sister Camille!"

Sylvana looked at Elvis puzzled and asked, "How do you know about it?"

"Sister, do you know Thelma Sully, the deputy head of the Black Rock Skull Guard?" Elvis asked pointingly.

"She and Alan Hall are both personal guards of their father, and the two of them have met a few times during this time in the royal city, a woman with a very cold personality, and she is a femme fatale warrior according to the attendants. When her father went to the Bailin Tomb Sea and saved her in the pile of dead, she stayed in the Black Rock Skull Guard Regiment in order to repay her father's life-saving grace, and slowly promoted from a low-level guard to the deputy commander, a very powerful woman, could it be that the person who chased and killed you had something to do with her?" Sylvana said this, but the woman who was silent and cold as ice came to her mind.

"It was her brother Thelma Dick, who was the champion of last year's Heroic Knighthood, whom his father had personally knighted him in the presence of all the ministers. He was accidentally hit in the throat because of martial arts training, and his voice was extremely hoarse, and I hid behind my father because I was scared, and I still remember the low and hoarse voice. After Elvis finished speaking, the chubby little finger pointed to his Adam's apple and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, he has a pretty big scar here. ”

Hearing this, Sylvana's little face showed a hint of hideousness, and said angrily: "Thelma Dick, not only killed Sharin, but also wanted to kill the two of us, I will repay this love sooner or later, I want to see his sister who is the deputy head of the regiment, what else can I say this time." ”

"So what are we going to do now, have we been hiding here?" Elvis said lazily as he rubbed Sylvana into his arms slightly, rubbed his eyes, and yawned. Sylvana stroked Elvis's chubby face and said with a smile: "Wait for Kraft to come back from the news before making a decision, you are also tired, rest early." After saying that, he gently patted Elvis's back with his right hand, and sang a song in a low voice to lull him to sleep, and after a while, Elvis's eyelids slowly closed, and he was finally able to sleep well.

At the same time, in a luxurious castle in the royal city, the second prince Garfield was looking at the group of people kneeling in front of him with a gloomy face, and it had been half a day since the deadline given by his father, but the third princess and the fourth prince had completely disappeared as if the world had evaporated, although Garfield knew that there must be the shadow of the king's brother Douglas mixed in, but his subordinates were all a group of waste, and he didn't find any useful information after tossing around in the royal city for a long time. What made him even more angry was that several ministers who had previously claimed to be allied with him were now sparing no effort to assist King Constantine XI in mobilizing his army to arrange the city defenses, apparently hoping that the king would spare their lives for the sake of their hard work.

"A bunch of rubbish!!" Garfield snorted, but his eyes were looking through the window at a building diagonally opposite, whether he was in a temporary alliance with his brother Douglas to deal with this crisis, the thought spread in his mind like a weed.

I can only go over and join forces with Brother Wang to resolve this crisis!

Garfield finally made up his mind, although the two fought to the death in the past, but at this point, the one who knows you best and can help you may often be your enemy.

"Leo, come with me to Douglas's side!" Garfield said to a warrior who had been kneeling on one knee, then slowly buttoned his sleeve, pressed a row of sharp daggers tied to his right arm, pushed open the door and said as he walked, "I hope my eldest brother won't fight with my sword for the time being." ”

And the eldest prince Douglas is also full of anger now, looking at Keno, who was beaten by himself, lying on the ground, when he was already out of breath and out of breath, and Dick who was kneeling beside him and kept kowtowing to him, if it weren't for his sister being the deputy head of the Black Rock Skull Escort Regiment, Douglas would have killed this stunned young man who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard with a knife, so as not to be upset.

In order to drive away the fourth prince Elvis and kill him, he didn't know how much energy it took to get the queen's consent, and came up with this trick to kill people with a knife, as long as Elvis died in the hands of Dick, and then he tried his best to save his life, and then he might be able to make the unpredictable Selma Sully, who has a cold personality as cold as frost and strong strength, feel a little grateful to himself.

To this day, with the strength of Douglas's own high-level martial artists, the entire royal city can make him think carefully before making a move, Andrew Allenhall and Thelma Sully, the two leaders and deputy leaders of the Black Rock Skull Guardian Regiment, can be counted as two, especially Thelma Sully, since she single-handedly slaughtered the most powerful rogue on the border of the empire three years ago, known as the most powerful rogue in the Noah continent. Three years have passed, but the rumors about Selma Sully in the royal city are becoming more and more outrageous, and some people even say that she has broken through the ranks of heroic warriors, and is not much different from the strength of King Constantine XI in his heyday.

Douglas glanced at Dick, suppressed the anger in his heart, snorted and said to Dick: "This time I will spare the two of you for the time being, now take Keno this waste to treat!" After speaking, he took out an amethyst card from his arms, threw it in front of Dick without looking at it, and continued: "There are 30,000 gold coins here, take this money and Keno to leave the Lion Crusader City temporarily, if the third princess returns to the royal city alive, the two of you will definitely die." !"

Dick's eyes flashed with a greedy glint, and he quickly picked up the purple gold card and kowtowed heavily to Douglas, and said tremblingly: "Xie Lu Xie Xie's grace of not killing, Xie Lu Xie Lord Xie's grace of not killing, I will help Kino to heal!" After speaking, he picked up the unconscious Keno and left the room that made him uncomfortable in a hurry.

"I don't know how Dou Selma Sully has such a shitty brother!" Douglas looked at Dick who disappeared outside the door with disdain, picked up the wine glass from the wine table and poured a glass of wine, sighed and walked straight to the main seat and sat down and drank it with his head held high, and the wonderful feeling brought by the spicy wine slid down his throat finally allowed him to let go of the boredom in his heart a little.

"Martin, are all the ministers in the royal city anxious now?" said Douglas to himself as he walked into the empty room. However, Douglas's voice fell, and a faint shadow appeared in the corner of the room, and replied respectfully: "Yes, all the powerful forces, including the four major families, have gone crazy and sent people to search for the whereabouts of the third princess and the fourth prince in the city, but there is no news so far. ”

"Just let them run around like headless flies, and maybe they'll find something. But this time the old guy is really ruthless to kill the chicken to show the monkey, and you will do things a little more restrained in the future, after all, the old guy's strength is still unshakable with our current ability. By the way, Martin, what kind of force in the royal city do you say that the person who rescued the third princess and the fourth prince will be?" Douglas took another sip of wine, leaned on the throne very elegantly, and looked at the exquisite patterns on the ceiling in a daze.

"It's hard to say, now the water in the royal city is too muddy, and the rescue of the third princess and the fourth prince may be an attempt to stock up on the goods, after all, the king has not personally announced who is the crown prince for a day, and the power in the royal city will not make much movement. Martin's figure slowly stepped out of the shadows, picked up the silver kettle on the table, and respectfully poured a glass of wine for Douglas.

Douglas nodded and said with a smile: "Let them toss, anyway, the third princess and the fourth prince will definitely appear in the last place, and tell the others that if there are other forces that try to be unfavorable to them, they must do their best to protect them." This game is really getting more and more interesting. ”

Martin looked at Douglas puzzled, although he didn't understand why the master who had been going to kill the fourth prince had changed his mind at this time, but he knew that the master didn't like others to ask, and when it was time to say it, the master would say it. Martin nodded, and was about to retire when he suddenly walked quickly to the window to take a look, and said in a deep voice, "Garfield and Leo are here!"

Douglas smiled: "I didn't expect him to be able to hold his breath anymore, so let me go and meet my younger brother." With that, he stood up and walked towards the gate with a smile.
