"It's horrible, how can this be?"

"These children, who are disobedient at night, have to run to the street to play, and it has caused this kind of tragedy!"

"How sad the parents of the child will be, it's so miserable!"

It was another morning, and by the time it was dawn, the streets were already bustling.

Jaylan hadn't closed his eyes for a day and a night, and he was feeling quite tired. But an even more terrible event appeared in front of everyone. The bodies of seven boys were found in a small alley in the fifth block. The corpse was identical to the one found in the house in the third block the day before, with blood drained from all over the body.

"What was the purpose of the murderer using dark magic to kill so many children?" Byron pondered.

Because of the seriousness of the incident, King Roy ordered martial law throughout the city. Strict checks are carried out on the people who enter and leave the floating city every day. At noon on the same day, the king summoned the leaders of the Five Dragons Knights to discuss the series of horrific events that had taken place in the royal city.

"Parsa, do you think these children all died from the same dark magic?" Roy asked Parsa first.

"Yes, King Bixia. It can drain a person's entire body of blood without leaving a trace, and I can't think of any other way than dark magic. Parsa replied.

"Hmph, dark magic?" Bai Ao on the side was very disdainful, "It's just something that can't be put on the table." ”

"This murderer is not a human being for such a murderous act on children!" shouted Roger.

"Hehe, the murderer may not be a human, maybe it is some kind of monster. Schroeder shouted, "Roger, I can't wait, as soon as the murderer appears, I'll unscrew his head." Roger, don't rob me when the time comes. ”

"But so far, we don't have any clue what kind of person the killer is or where he's hiding. Byron sighed.

"Since the murderer's targets are all children, should we try bait tactics?" Roger suddenly came up with an idea.

"Mistress Roger, do you mean to find someone to pretend to be a child, and then we'll hide and catch the murderer red-handed when he is done?" Byron asked.

"Haha, that's right. Roger said, "We can hire a high-ranking dwarven warrior to dress up as a child and wait for the murderer to appear." ”

"What a good idea!" said Schroeder, "I was going to ask my little Irene to pretend to be a child." That's right, Irene, she's a little girl herself. ”

"Erin? If Erin is willing to be the bait, then it would be a good fit. The murderer is going to be unlucky to meet Erin, she is a monster like Schroeder. "Roger Daxiao.

"Roger, are you complimenting me?" Schroeder asked him with a cheeky face.

"If I can catch the murderer, I must ask him where he learned these long-lost dark magic. "Parsa is very calm.

"The murderer is just a coward who only kills children, and I don't need all of us to go, I can do it alone. Bai Ao looked disdainful.

"Lord Bai Ao, leave the ambush to my Golden Dragon Knights. What happened in the royal city should have been handled by us. Byron said.

That night, Erin is invited over and pretends to be a child who has been curfew, but still sneaks out to play. The dwarven musketeers, who were small enough to conceal themselves, ambushed early in the alley where Erin was passing. After the city was put under martial law, the infantry commander of the Golden Dragon Knights, the giant Bolton, has been responsible for guarding the only gate of the royal city. Tonight, he was even more energetic to prevent the murderer from escaping from the royal city.

"It's so boring, how did Schroeder do it, and actually agreed to this kind of thing. "I've been going back and forth five times, why hasn't that madman shown up yet?"

Late at night, in an inconspicuous secret room in the royal city, the mysterious man is experimenting with his black magic again.

"Even with my Liliang, I can't unleash this spell without collecting the blood of all nine children. Kaos said to the mysterious man.

"In the past two days, the king has ordered martial law in the whole city, and I don't want to startle the snake now. You can't compromise the big picture for the sake of the one child that remains. The mystery man laughed.

For a whole night, Byron and the others did not wait for the murderer to appear. Staying until dawn, everyone could only put away the team and leave.

"It's so disgusting that Schroeder dares to trick me, how can any madman with dark magic attack me. Erin grumbled as she stretched, "I'm going to settle accounts with Schroeder when I go back." ”

Although everyone was very tired, they still attended the meeting of the Five Dragon Knights on time. King Roy has been following the development of the situation all the time.

"Hey, I said Schroeder, what's the matter with your face? Roy looked at the face of Schroeder, who had come to the meeting today, and felt very funny.

"It's not my little Erin yet, saying that my bad idea has caused her to not sleep all night, and that she is very bored. So I came back early in the morning to practice my hands and vent. Schroeder covered half of his face, feeling very ashamed.

"Hmph, the dignified Five Dragons Knights being played around by a dark mage is not something to show off. Bai Ao sneered on the side.

"This murderer seems to be very cunning, and when he sees that we are under martial law, he is wary. Byron said.

"But at least one thing we know for sure is that the murderer must still be in the royal city and has not left. "I just don't know what his purpose is to use dark magic to kill children everywhere, is there still a dark person in this world?"

"If you're a descendant of the Dark Clan, then their target should be mine. Roy said, "Parsa, I think you're overthinking. ”

"King Bixia, the palace is heavily guarded inside and outside, and ordinary people can't approach you. Parsa said, "But if it's really the Darkling, we'll have to be more careful, Bixia." ”

"I'm sure as long as you're here, not even the dark ones will be able to hurt me. Roy responded with a smile.

That afternoon, Geraint was teaching the little prince Joshua swordsmanship in the back garden of the palace. As long as he doesn't patrol all night, every afternoon, Geraint will go to the palace on time to teach Joshua basic swordsmanship.

"Your Highness, the trick to stabbing is that Liliang should be sent from the waist, otherwise your stabbing will become weak and weak. Geraint was helping Joshua adjust his posture while teaching him the essentials of swordsmanship.

"Dear Geraint, you are Joshua's ideal mentor. Suddenly, King Roy came to the back garden, and he just wanted to see how Joshua had been studying lately.

"King Bixia, you're here. Seeing this, Geraint hurriedly knelt down on one knee and stroked his chest and saluted, "This is all the glory that King Bixia has bestowed on me." ”

"Geraint, you, sure enough, you and Byron are carved out of the same mold. Hehe! Hurry up!" Roy laughed helplessly.

"King Bixia, His Royal Highness the Prince is very smart, now he is still young, he can only practice with a wooden sword, although the movements do not seem to be liliang, but I can see that His Royal Highness the Prince is very talented, I definitely don't have such comprehension at his age. Geraint briefed the king on what was now being taught to Joshua.

"The recent series of incidents in the royal city have been investigated by your Golden Dragon Knights, and you still have to take time out to accompany my Joshua, it's really hard for you. Roy smiled and patted Geraint on the shoulder.

Geraint hurriedly took a few steps back, put one hand on his chest and said, "All this is what I should do." ”

"Geraint, you're really, don't be too restrained on this occasion. Okay, I'm not going to bother you and Joshua just yet. Then the king left the garden.

Just as Roy stepped out of the garden with one foot, a man in a black cloak rushed towards the king with a staff in his hand and a spell in his mouth, and the tip of the staff began to glow dangerously red.

"King Bixia, be careful!" shouted to Geraint, snatching Joshua's wooden sword from his hand and throwing it at the assassin.

The wooden sword slammed into the Assassin's leg, causing the Assassin to fall to the ground and his magic being interrupted. At this time, the king's guards rushed to arrest the assassin.

"I know this man, isn't he a mage in the Black Dragon Knights under Lord Parsa?" one of the guards recognized the assassin.

"Black Dragon Knights?" asked Geraint, "Is it one of the several magicians who were sent to maintain the barrier in the garden last time because of the Cerberus incident?"

"Yes, Lord Geraint. The guard replied.

"What's going on? Go and call Parsa to me. Roy had an angry look on his face.

"Hmph, let you assassinate my father! let you assassinate my father!" Joshua picked up the wooden sword on the ground and slapped the assassin's head hard.
