"King Bixia, what happened to you summoning me in such a hurry?" With a rush of footsteps, Parsa came to Roy.

"Parsa, do you recognize this man?" Roy asked, pointing to the man who had stabbed him.

"This is one of the mages in the Black Dragon Knights under my command. Parsa glanced at the man.

"Wait a minute, he'll be here? What's the matter, King Bixia?" Parsa noticed that one of his men was being pinned to the ground by two of the King's guards, their hands tied behind their backs.

"I'd like to ask you, Parsa!" Roy said angrily, "You should explain to me that there are assassins hiding among the people you sent to maintain the barrier?"

"Assassin, King Bixia, I don't understand what you mean. Parsa knelt down on one knee in front of Roy, "My Black Dragon Knights are absolutely loyal to King Bixia. ”

"Lord Parsa, this 'loyal' subordinate of yours just now intended to assassinate King Bixia, but fortunately, Lord Geraint found out in time and prevented the tragedy from happening. One of Roy's chamberlains said.

"What, you mean he dares to assassinate King Bixia here?" Parsa asked, rising, in a surprised tone.

"Ask him yourself, Lord Parsa, and you'll know what's going on. The chamberlain set his sights on the Assassin.

"Bastard, you're going to assassinate King Bixia?" Parsa said viciously as she walked up to the magician.

“...... Exterminate...... Radiant Clan...... Destroy the Radiant Clan......" The magician's eyes glazed over, and the same words kept repeating in his mouth.

"Is it dark magic again?" Parsa frowned, "Is it dark spirit magic that directly manipulates the minds of others?" but this kind of magic only works for those who are not strong-willed, and has no effect on those with strong willpower. ”

"Lord Parsa, in any case, it was your men who attempted to murder King Bixia this time. I'm sorry if you come back with me to be investigated, I'm afraid I'm going to offend you this time. Geraint said to Parsa without humility or arrogance.

"Geraint, are you suspicious of me?" exclaimed Parsa, "I am not only the Archmage of the Kingdom but also the cousin of King Bixia, do you think I would do such a rebellious thing?"

"Lord Parsa, we don't suspect you, we just hope that you will be wronged for the time being and cooperate with our Golden Dragon Knights' investigation. At this time, Byron also arrived at the scene.

"Lord Byron, you don't even believe me?" Parsa asked in surprise.

"It's not that I don't believe you, Lord Parsa. "But it is my duty to do this before it is settled, and I hope you will cooperate with me." After all, the chain of events that are happening now seem to be connected. Also, if it's really dark magic, how do spellcasters get close to your men, knowing that they're sent by you to maintain the barrier, and they're stationed in the palace and don't have time to contact the rest of the outside world. ”

"Well, you don't want to take me to that royal prison, do you?" Parsa said with a hint of grief in her eyes, "I don't want to go to that dark, damp place." As a venerable magician, I can't stand that kind of environment. ”

"This assassin will definitely be imprisoned in the Royal Prison, as for Lord Parsa, do you see King Bixia?" Byron turned to Roy and asked.

"Parsa, after all, I don't believe you really did this. If it's just an investigation, I think it's in that small cabin on the island in the middle of the artificial lake in the palace, how about you be wronged these days?" Roy looked at Parsa.

"Thank you bixia for your trust. Parsa knelt down on one knee and said, "Time will prove my loyalty to you and that of my Black Dragon Order." ”

"I hope so. Roy replied.

"Then please go this way, Your Excellency the Archmage. Geraint beckoned the two guards to leave with Parsa. Byron, on the other hand, took the Assassin to the Royal Prison.

Parsa's temporary detention lodging was just across the garden. It is an artificially dug lake, and a small wooden house sits on an island in the middle of the lake. King Roy's family sometimes paddled in the lake, and the wooden houses on the island in the middle of the lake were used for rest. From the chalet there is a clear view of the various views inside the palace, including that back garden. Parsa was quite satisfied with the accommodation and settled into the cabin with a smile on her face. Geraint sent some of the best soldiers of Byron's guard to guard the cabin in turn.

"Geraint, as a magician, I'm a very particular person. There are special requirements in terms of diet and rest. And one more thing, Geraint, I am in the habit of sleeping with my own quilt that I have enchanted to sleep comfortably at night, and don't forget to tell my servant to bring it for me. Before Parsa entered the house, she didn't forget to take care of Geraint's many things about her daily life.

"Lord Byron, what do you think of this attack?" After settling Parsa, Geraint came to report to Byron.

"To be honest, I don't believe it was Lord Parsa who instructed it. Mistress Parsa once again mentions that this is a form of dark magic, suggesting that the person who assassinated the king must have had some kind of mind control. You see, when we interrogated him, he would just repeat one thing over and over again, and that was - destroy the Radiant Clan. Byron analyzed, "As for who controlled him, we need to investigate further." In addition to Lord Parsa himself, other people in the Black Dragon Knights' troops stationed in the palace mages were also suspicious. ”

"Now that Lord Parsa is under our surveillance, we just need to keep an eye on the rest of the Black Dragon Knights stationed in the palace. Gerante said.

On the other side of the cabin, Parsa finally waited for the quilt brought by the servant.

"Wait a minute, let's check this quilt first. A guard stopped Parsa's servant. The two of them opened the quilt together, and after carefully checking that there was nothing else in the quilt, they asked the servant to deliver the quilt to Parsa.

"Thank you, I can have a good night's sleep tonight even if I sleep here. Parsa took one of his servant's hands and said happily.

"Yes, my master. The servant replied and turned away. When the servant was far away, the two guards began to talk.

"Are all the people in the archmage's family so weird?" said the guard who had just checked the quilt to his partner, "You can see that person just now also looked sluggish. ”

"The archmage himself is an eccentric, and it's no wonder that his servants aren't driven mad by him. ”

"I think so, it's not easy for anyone who can be an archmage's entourage, haha!"

After a while, the servant came to the island in the middle of the lake again with a basket in his hand, this time to bring food to Parsa.

"What is it this time?" said the guard, opening the basket, which was filled with delicate dishes, all of Parsa's favorite flavors.

"It's so fragrant, hurry up and let him bring my dinner. Parsa shouted inside.

The guards asked the servants to bring dinner in and then came out as soon as they could. Parsa ate her dinner excitedly, while his servant stood out the window and watched, quietly waiting for Parsa to finish. So that he can pack up the dishes and go home.

"Seeing that Lord Parsa is eating so well, my stomach is a little growling, it's like being imprisoned, it's like a vacation. One of the guards whispered softly.

"Would you like to come along, guys?" Parsa laughed and shouted to the two guards outside the door.

"No, Your Excellency Archmage, someone will be changing shifts soon. Then we'll be able to have a delicious dinner. Another soldier declined Parsa's invitation.

"Today's meal tasted very good, and I will follow this recipe in the future. Parsa told the servant to pack up and go back.

"Yes, master!" said the servant, and then began to make a mechanical move, and after putting away the dishes, he left with the basket.

"Oh no, Lord Byron. I just received a report that another child has been killed. This time it was in the evening, and there was a little girl who went to the river to wash the dishes and didn't come back for a long time. Her parents went to the river to look for her, only to find the girl dead in the woods by the river. Like the dead before her, her blood was drained from all over her body. "Byron has been getting bad news lately.

"This dark mage may be more troublesome than we thought. The grim expression on Byron's face was grim, "And he's been hiding in the shadows, and at the moment it looks like we're being led by the nose." ”

Suddenly, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, and soon a dark cloud hung over the royal city. The Holy Light Barrier does not have any rejection of normal natural phenomena, and the ensuing heavy rain can still fall into the royal city. Byron looked at the rain outside the window with a solemn expression. But Parsa, on the other side of the cabin, was looking at the rain-soaked garden, and a strange smile appeared on her face again.
