The wind in the jungle blew howly, bringing up a slaughter in the sky.

Hines looked at Pierre's corpse with a grim face, and then said, "Cross, you shouldn't have killed him." ”

"The alchemist has been in the laboratory for a long time, in the company of various materials such as poisons, and his body is extremely susceptible to erosion, and it seems that you have ignored this. ”

Cross opened his mouth to say that he hadn't ignored this, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Avril Avril, who had just finished crying, yelled angrily: "Hines, are you finally willing to come out to see me? You still think that Cross shouldn't have killed Pierre? Yes, I think so too, because he deserves to die ten thousand times!"

"He actually tried to rape the princess of the Empire!" Avril almost hysterical.

In the days when Gong Hao was by her side, she seemed very gentle most of the time, but now Gong Hao was seriously injured for her, and she herself was in danger of **, and her heart was extremely painful, but it was the first time that she said that she wanted to kill someone.

Hines's face was a little ugly.

He wasn't afraid of Avril, although he was a dignified princess of the Empire, he might not be in his eyes when he arrived. It's just too embarrassing to try that such a thing as a princess would be done by Pierre.

Especially unlike ordinary people, Hines was well aware of his disciple's hobbies, and his habits were not only ......

Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be alone in this habit.

Avril's chief of guard, the eighth-level Earth Warrior Alexander Padgett, knew something about Pie.

The danger to the princess at this moment annoyed him: "Master Hines, if I remember correctly, Pierre did such a thing more than twenty years ago. My friend Raschel once caught this bastard with his own hands because he had raped and killed at least six young girls. ”

"Oh my God. Avril exclaimed, "In that case, why is he so fine?"

Padgett said helplessly: "Because Pierre does have extraordinary talent in the field of alchemy. Master Hines personally interceded for him, in exchange for his chance to live. Then he followed the master here. I thought he wouldn't have the guts to do anything to the princess, but I didn't expect him to do it anyway. ”

Cross sighed: "It's not unusual that long-term repression can sometimes really make people's ** break through reason." ”

Hines was a little confused, "But that's what I don't understand. Why did you come to this jungle at night, Your Highness Princess? How did Pierre know you were here? And Shue, what is the matter with you? Why are you here?"

Gong Hao replied slowly: "Master, you know that during the time that Her Royal Highness the princess stayed on Purgatory Island, my main job was to make the princess happy. So I designed a little program for her, right in this jungle, to enjoy the fun of the bonfire, so that she can feel the beauty of nature. In fact, the princess liked it very much. ”

"It could have been my best night...... If it weren't for that villain. Avril said angrily.

She is still wearing the apprentice robe given to her by Gong Hao, and the torn clothes on the ground have fully confirmed what Pierre did, in fact, Hines who came too late to arrive can also see clearly through the crystal ball, but this moment is just confused.

"Why didn't you fight back when Pierre hit you?"

"Because he is my adult, I can't do anything to my adult. Even if he was violating the princess, I could only stop him, not attack him. ”

Gong Hao's "humility" made everyone sigh, this child is too "duty-bound".

"Then how did Pierre know you were here?" Hines continued.

Gong Hao shook his head: "I don't know, but now it seems that he may have been prepared and has been eyeing the princess a long time ago." ”

Hines said, "I noticed that you are wearing the clothes of a maid, princess, could it be that the object he wanted to attack at first was not you, princess?"

"Oh, the maid dress is just a way for me to add to the fun. If you say that Pierre just recognized the wrong person, then why did he commit violence to me when he saw my face later?" exclaimed Avril.

Hines sighed slightly, he also saw this situation. It's not that he doesn't anger Pie's bastard, it's just that his death has brought immeasurable losses to Purgatory Island.

So he could only say: "Yes princess, I understand, no matter what, Pierre is unforgivable." But Your Highness, I hope that this will be the end of the matter. Pierre is dead, and I think it would be better for Her Royal Highness to keep the matter out of her wist's return to Winrington. ”

Avril stared at Hines in disbelief, "Oh my God, Hines you old fellow. Your apprentice once broke the laws of the Empire, but you shielded him; He wants to be an imperial princess, but you turn a blind eye, and here you interrogate me incessantly; You want this to end when the charges have been proven? God, you told me not to tell my father that I had such a thing, you are such an old bastard!"

It was the first time in his life that Hines had been called an old guy and an old bastard, and his face was blue and red, but he couldn't explain it at all.

Perhaps seeing Hines's embarrassment, Gong Hao gently grabbed Avril's hand: "You don't need to be so angry, I believe Master Hines has good intentions." ”

"You're still talking to him?" Avril glared at her big eyes.

Gong Hao unhurriedly spat out a mouthful of blood to the ground.

Avril's heart immediately softened: "Oh, Huey, you're badly injured. What are you guys doing? Why don't you get some medicine? ”

A large group of people stepped forward to give Gong Hao medicine, and the best treatment medicine was poured into Gong Hao without money.

Gong Hao unceremoniously stuffed all the potions into his arms, and then looked at Avril with affectionate eyes and said, "Avril, you know that the person I care about the most is you, right?"

"Yes, Huey, I see you risking your life to protect me. Huey, you really care about me. ”

"Then I hope you can forgive and understand Master Hines, don't be angry, okay?"

"Why? This bastard is shielding his students, Pierre should have died. And now he is still trying to quibble, shirk responsibility, and even try to hide the matter. ”

"At first, he just wanted to get to the bottom of the situation, and it made sense to keep it down. ”

"I don't understand, Huey, what's reasonable about that? Pierre deserves to be condemned by the whole empire and tried by the courts!"

"Actually, I don't think it's a beautiful thing for the Imperial Princess to be in danger of ** becoming a joke after dinner in the Lance Empire, right?"

Avril froze slightly.

If the whole country knew that she was almost killed by a damn bad uncle, then this kind of scandal would definitely have an extremely negative impact on her, and it would also disgrace the royal family.

Cross and Padgett glanced at each other, and honestly, they didn't want the news to get out either.

The princess is in danger, and the first person to suffer is the person responsible for protecting her. Although she had snuck out on her own at the time, people would not consider it that way, and would only think that it was a dereliction of duty on the part of the servants.

Gong Hao said again: "What's more, if everyone knows that you sneaked out with an apprentice, what will others think? Of course, those who know understand that I am just taking you to enjoy the moonlight, the bonfire, and the beautiful night, but what about those who don't know? They will think that we are having a tryst." Rumors will spread everywhere. Maybe Your Majesty will thunder and then give the order to kill me. Your servants will be dismissed, Master Hines will be punished, and all of them will suffer for it. Do you really want that? Avril Lavigne. ”

"Oh no, Huey, I'm not going to let them do that to you. ”

"Then just listen to me, take Master Hines's advice, and let this matter pass. Don't mention Pierre again, he's dead anyway, and no one will know how he died. Let's just say he's ...... Let's die. ”

Avril looked at Gong Hao affectionately, and finally nodded: "Okay Xiuyi, I listen to you, you can say anything." You know I don't want you to be implicated, and everything you do is to make me happy. ”

Avril finally agreed to Hines's request, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and the eyes that looked at Gong Hao were extremely full of gratitude, so that they no longer minded that he took the little princess out for a tryst.

For Gong Hao, the biggest purpose of his doing this is to curry favor with Hines on the one hand, and to give Bailey an explanation on the other hand. If Bailey knew that he had just given Gong Hao information about Pier two months ago, Pier would have died for trying to ** the princess, and Gong Hao was present at the time, I am afraid that he would definitely guess something.

And now, let Pierre die, he can't suspect Gong Hao.

In Bailey's eyes, Gong Hao is just a poor worm who secretly reveals the secret of death on Purgatory Island, and then works desperately to please his master and try to live a little longer. All he wanted was to use the poor worm's hand to get enough benefits for himself.

If he knew that this "poor worm" had been thinking about how to fight back from beginning to end, he would not dare to move it if he was afraid of giving him a mountain of gold.

Of course, there is also the last advantage, which is that it is so quietly resolved that the people of the Imperial Law and Political Office will not get involved in the investigation. After all, it is impossible not to attract the attention of those hounds for such a big event as the princess. And they are not as inexperienced as samurai and magicians in intrigue and calculation.

These hounds are definitely not easy to fool, and many names can be found out from the cause of Pier's death alone.

Fortunately, this is not the Big 6, and the hand of the Legal Affairs Department will not easily reach here.

Leaving Pie's body to be disposed of by her subordinates, Avril walked up to Hines with a grunt: "Old man, you'd better remember to me that your students are bad enough to destroy you." If it weren't for the fact that you still have a good apprentice, then I can guarantee that my father's wrath would have burned the entire island of Purgatory to ashes!"

Hines was embarrassed and could only leave in disgrace.

In the face of the arrogant and domineering princess of the empire, who is now in extreme anger, even the great alchemist who is relied on by the emperor of the empire can only choose to back down.

Cross patted Gong Hao on the shoulder and said, "I should have scolded you for not sneaking out with the princess, but now that I think about it, it's really not your fault." You're just trying to make the princess as happy as possible. In fact, you defended the Princess's chastity with your life, but what I really want to thank is that you persuaded Her Highness to decide not to report the matter. Good boy, for the sake of this, if you have any problems with magic, you can ask me questions. You don't have to go through the princess again this time, I'll be sure to answer all your questions. ”

The earth warrior Padgett glanced at Lancelot, who was cold-eyed but never said a word in the distance, and then said to Gong Hao: "I heard that guy taught you some about the cultivation of warriors, but it seems that he is not a good teacher, otherwise you should not be beaten so miserably by Piye." I think you know that learning and educational ability are sometimes not the same thing. It is not that the students taught by the samurai of the Sanctuary level must be the strongest students in the world. It doesn't necessarily matter how much strength a teacher has to a student, what matters is how much he can teach his students. That stingy, selfish guy almost killed you because of his stinginess. If you want, you can ask me for advice. Like Cross, I have to answer all questions. ”

A high-ranking magician and a high-ranking samurai handed him a friendly olive branch at the same time, not only because he had persuaded Avril for them, but more importantly, because they now had an unparalleled influence over the princess.

With Avril's temperament, after encountering such a thing, even her most respected mother may not be able to persuade her not to report the incident. The reason why she was willing not to report to the emperor was probably because of Gong Hao's sentence "I will also be unlucky". In order not to implicate Gong Hao, Avril finally suppressed this breath, and the result was that Gong Hao was not unlucky, but Cross and Padgett were lucky to escape, and of course, Hines was also lucky.

For Cross and Padget, if they no longer see the importance of befriending Hugh Iglaire, they will no longer have to mix in the treacherous and dangerous officialdom.

People who are involved in officialdom will always understand that the Tao is not to be an opponent with a strong man, but to be friends with him.

Here, the meaning of the strong is not only about force, but also about other aspects. For example, Hue Igler, he is now a strong man in a sense.

Lancelot, who was in the distance, snorted coldly when he heard Padget's words and drifted away. In terms of the ability to educate apprentices, it is indeed impossible for Lancelot, who has lived in seclusion for a long time, to be compared with the world-famous Padget, even if three or five Padgetts are not his opponents combined, but the ability and personal strength required to educate apprentices are indeed different.

With Padgett to guide Gong Hao, then Gong Hao no longer has to worry about making any mistakes on the path of samurai cultivation.

The people brought by Avril were currying favor with Gong Hao, and Andrew finally let out a long sigh after looking at Pie's corpse with incomparably complicated eyes. This sigh is for Pierre and for himself. For many years, he has been crushed by Pier, and there is no day to come out.

Now that Pierre is dead, Hines has lost one of his best assistants, and he will be the true second master of the island of purgatory. This made him a little happy, and it made him a little melancholy.

I am glad that my status has risen, and I am sad that he did not earn it through his hard work.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Gong Hao again, this kid, if nothing else, it seems that he is going to take over his position.

In less than two years, he went from being a lowly servant to becoming a celebrity at the princess's side, and was about to become the third person on Purgatory Island.

Thinking of the spirit seed in Gong Hao's body, he felt contradictory again.

Should he find a way to thoroughly study the method of extracting the spirit seed, so that Huigler can truly escape death? But if he knew the truth about the spirit seed, would he still support himself and his mentor as always?

Without the spirit seed, losing the greatest control over him, will it be equivalent to unleashing a terrible opponent?

But if he can accept it and become a student of his mentor from now on, with his wisdom, he will probably be able to solve those incomprehensible mysteries in alchemy as soon as possible, and the day when he will leave Purgatory Island will not be far away.

Survival? or death?

Andrew, like Hamlet, couldn't find the answer either.

As for Isadora, when she saw the maid's costume in that place, she was probably the only one who doubted all this. But when she saw Avril looking at Gong Hao affectionately, and the cold warning eyes that Gong Hao sent to her, she immediately realized that maybe keeping her mouth shut was her best choice.

In fact, she really didn't have any evidence that it was a conspiracy, after all, even she couldn't be sure what was going on. The fact that Pierre may have come for himself doesn't necessarily prove anything, but it certainly gets him in trouble.

Her wisdom paid off.

Afterwards, Gong Hao gave her a few bottles of charm potions, and soon after the girl returned to Winrington, she found an earl to marry and became a countess. And the matter of Pierre was completely forgotten by the countess.

Two things: One, I overslept again today, so I was late, sorry sorry.

Two: Ma Beitian, are you there? I went, I also read the post, and I have no opinion on your article and other things about my speech. The problem is the disgusting reply system that I hate - I can't reply.

So I've been delaying it until now to say hello to you in the book.

So...... This one...... For the time being, I can only remain silent, as in the subject of this article. Alas.
