The first to react was Tulha.

The Fire Knight's hand tightened slightly, and Tails felt a chill deepen on the side of his neck—the back of the golden saber pressed directly against his skin.

The second prince didn't dare to move, for fear that if Tuleha made a backhand, his neck would be bright red.

"Weird, black sword?" Tulha narrowed his eyes, "A man with little character?"

Tails nodded.

"Interesting," the corners of Tuleha's mouth curled slightly, and his eyes showed a strong war intent: "An acquaintance." ”

Raphael frowned, and his gaze at Tails was complicated.

"Black sword?"

Kashan clasped her hands gently, "You said - the Black Sword of the Brotherhood of the Streets?"

Cohen, who heard the news, was stunned.

Brotherhood?

Why does the Dark Street Brotherhood of the Stars ......

"I don't know," the wide-eyed Tails said cautiously, lest his throat touch Tulha's blade as he moved, "probably." ”

Kashan looked at him quietly.

"Mystic gave the Staff of the Stars to the Black Sword?" the Red Witch whispered.

Raphael didn't say a word, just silently watched Tails, even ignoring Cohen's action of arching him behind him.

Tails pulled out an embarrassed, ugly smile in acquiescence.

Come on.

The devil knows what the Staff of the Stars is.

And that Raphael had no intention of speaking at all.

Tails thought in horror: Mr. Black Sword, I have to use your old man to block it, you shouldn't mind - there will be no shortage of meat anyway.

However, only a few seconds later, the old woman burst out laughing.

"Hahaha," Kashan smiled and shook her head, her eyes full of helplessness and fun like watching a child fight: "Morat must have a headache for you." ”

"Lying boy. ”

Tails' eyes widened slightly, "Huh?"

The Scarlet Witch sighed.

"How do you think I knew about Mystery's plan in advance," Kasan raised her wrinkled eyes, a deep chill in her eyes, "did you know they were going to use the scourge to start a plot?"

Tails was slightly stunned.

"While you're still on your way to Dragonfall, Prince Tails ......"

"An old friend from the Brotherhood of the Black Streets, asking us for help with a letter crow," Kashan glanced at the crowd, his gaze lingering on Raphael for a moment, "He's being forced north by the Blood Vials, and has to be entrusted to your mission." ”

It took Tails a few seconds to comprehend the meaning of the sentence, and then shuddered slightly—his brain instantly opened a string.

"An old friend of the Brotherhood?"

Tails said in disbelief, and at that moment he didn't even care about the blade around his neck: "You mean, Ramon?"

"The doctor?"

"Is that him?"

Kasan gave a strange smile.

Raphael's expression remained calm and silent.

Wyaa and Rolf looked at each other, surprised.

"I see, Ramon asked me to use the Raven on the road, not to contact the Brotherhood of the Streets," Tails came to his senses and muttered in a distracted manner, "but to contact you." ”

The Red Witch sighed slightly, her eyes dark.

"Ramon's mind is nimble, and he guessed that the predicament he got into might be the work of the secret department," Kashan said calmly, "so he contacted the Darkroom directly." ”

"And I know Moratt too well – he must be planning something. ”

Hearing this, Raphael sighed.

The man from the secret department looked at Tails with a strange expression, "Why would an unknown doctor be allowed to use the mission or the Black Sand Collar's messenger crow?"

"And you didn't pay attention to where he was arraigned?"

Tails was slightly stunned, and then remembered the history of contact with Ramon, and couldn't help but look embarrassed.

He couldn't say that Ramon had given him knowledge of magic in exchange, right?

But that's not the most important thing he needs to worry about right now.

"The people of the Brotherhood have informed us of the conspiracy of the Brotherhood," the Red Witch shook her head slowly at him as she crossed the figures of several people, "and you said that the Secrets colluded with the Brotherhood and even gave the Staff of the Stars to the leader of the Brotherhood?"

Tails could only smile wryly.

"I'm not as good as Morat," Kasan said lightly, "but I can still see what a lie is." ”

Tails looked at her, only to feel his scalp tighten.

It's terrible.

Kasan snorted with a smile and looked back at Raphael.

"Don't beat around the bush, little friend," the Red Witch's eyes began to become serious, "You may not have it with you...... But I know you have a way to get it right away. ”

Raphael frowned slightly.

Cohen and Miranda couldn't help but look at the young man in Myco.

"The secret science of the stars has mastered a mysterious transmission ability since a long time ago. The corners of Kasan's mouth curled slightly.

"From small voice letters, to weapons and equipment and even living people," the Red Witch's eyes were filled with deep interest: "You can all be transported to your destination in an instant, regardless of distance. ”

Tails froze.

Deliverability.

Sound......

Ignoring distance.

Cohen's face changed, Miranda frowned, and Waiya looked suspicious.

Just now, on Raphael's arm, the black hole that looked like the mouth of some kind of creature......

Raphael didn't speak, he still looked at the Red Witch with a calm expression.

As if he wasn't here at all.

"Give me the Staff of the Stars," the face of the leader of the Chamber of Darkness was still gentle and amiable, but his words had become more and more serious, "If you don't want to see anything unfortunate happen to your prince. ”

Tails' face turned pale.

Tulha snorted dissatisfiedly.

At this moment, a thin voice that had not been heard for a long time sounded weakly from the corner of the cell.

Full of grievances and low emotions.

"You have been ...... from a long time ago, a long time ago"

"That's all you know? ”

Everyone was slightly stunned, and then looked to the corner where the voice came.

Tails was held to the back of the knife by the neck, unable to turn his head, but he was also taken aback—for he could hear who the voice was.

I saw the neglected little girl, the little slippery head, leaning against the wall, her little face pale and trembling at Kassan.

"Aren't you from the Dark Room?" I saw Xiao Slippery bite his lower lip tightly, and his eyes were full of pain and fear.

"The dark room is a shadow cast by the dragon's wings," muttered the little slippery head, "but why ......?"

Xiao Slippery's face changed, as if he remembered the most unbearable memories.

"Why didn't you report it to Your Majesty," Xiao Slipper's eyes were filled with tears, and his whole body was trembling: "You are waiting for the calamities, waiting for those calamities...... Look at them in Longxiao City and ...... everyone"

Tails frowned.

He remembered the people who ran for their lives, the people who suffocated in the air, the people who were separated from their flesh, the shield that had been utterly destroyed.

Kasan seemed a little surprised, and she looked back at the dirty little girl in the corner with a complicated expression.

After a few seconds, she let out a deep sigh.

"I'm sorry," to everyone's surprise, the Red Witch actually bowed slightly in the direction of the little slippery head, "Miss Alex Walton." ”

Cohen's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the little slippery head.

Miranda raised an eyebrow.

Hearing the name, Little Slippery seemed to be taken aback, and she looked at Tails with a look of trepidation.

But Tails was still holding the back of the knife to his neck, and he couldn't see her expression at all.

"Even if I know it's Morat doing the trick......," the Red Witch's voice sounded.

"The Darkroom is still helpless," Kasan said sincerely, sadly, "the secret department has done too well to hide the news and whereabouts. ”

The Scarlet Witch lifted up and shook her head.

"It's too late. ”

"The Blood Demon Master arrived in Longxiao City very early, and we don't know the plan of the secret department, and we have no way to guard against it," Kashan's voice was low and her eyes were desolate, "We can only watch the mission get closer and closer. ”

Slippery came back from her shock and panic, clenched her fists, and looked up tremblingly.

"Then you should report to Your Majesty!" the girl gritted her teeth, tears streaming out of her eyes, "That's the ......king of all the Exeters! He'll be able to prevent these things from happening!"

The Red Witch raised her head suddenly, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at the little slippery head seriously.

"Our king?" said Lady Kassan, whispering the king's name:

"Nunn Necaju Cardine Walton?"

The person in charge of the darkroom smiled lightly.

"Believe me, I have held him in great esteem for the last thirty years," she nodded, her eyes showing respect and remembrance, "at least, for most of his reign, he was a good king—and I was ready to report to him." ”

Kassan's face changed, and she spat out the next sentence:

"If he hadn't hidden it from me, he planned to betray Longxiao City to the stars, and he planned to betray Exeter in order to continue his family. ”

Everyone's faces changed.

"What?" said the surprised Cohen.

Little Slippery looked pale and stared at Kasan in a daze.

"Yes, my dear young lady," the Scarlet Witch sighed slightly, "I have intercepted the letter from His Majesty Nunn to the High King of the Stars. ”

"He wants to rely on the power of the nine-pointed star to save the dragon lance in the clouds, and he wants to rely on your marriage to the little prince to deter the new king," Kassan's eyes became extremely fierce, "for this reason, he will not hesitate to let the stars gain a bargaining chip to meddle in Exeter's affairs." ”

"Even in the future, let an heir with the blood of a bright star take the first territory of Exeter. ”

Except for Raphael and Tails, almost everyone's eyes widened.

Even Tulha couldn't help but turn his head and look back.

Everyone's eyes looked at Little Slippery Head, then at Kashan, and finally at the second prince who had been held hostage.

At that moment, Tails only felt mixed feelings.

Before his eyes was King Nunn handing the ring to the little slippery head.

"Oh my God," Cohen's mouth opened in an "O" shape, and he stared straight at Tails, "This is the truth that Your Highness said that King Nunn wants to ally with us?"

"Let the descendants of the Bright Star Royal Family and the Walton family inherit the Grand Duke of Longxiao City?"

"As the king of Exeter," the Red Witch shook her head slowly, "he shouldn't have done that. ”

"There's only one thing I can do for Exeter. ”

Raphael looked up, a strange glint in his red eyes.

"So you went and found Rumba. He said softly.

Kasan didn't speak, she just looked at the enemies in front of her with a calm face.

Tails looked at the Red Witch in a daze.

I just feel like my mind is chaotic.

"This is really the biggest joke," the second prince subconsciously muttered, "it turns out - your betrayal was not an accident. ”

"For this reason...... You want King Nunn's life. ”

Tails closed his eyes and sighed deeply, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

"The Secret Branch and the Dark Chamber, both of them want his life - you're almost cooperating ......"

"In this case, even if King Nunn has an army of Longxiao City as a backing and a white-bladed guard as a barrier......"

Tails silently said the next sentence in his heart: How can he not die?

At that moment, he was really bored.

Kashan snorted softly, her expression subtle.

"For hundreds of years, the secret department has always been silent, quietly weaving an astonishing thunder in the deep clouds," the red witch's eyes were full of strange colors, like a chess player who had just won: "In contrast, the passive dark room has no choice but to borrow the nest to lay eggs, and with the thunder and lightning of the secret department, all the obstacles of Exter can be broken." ”

"You want to watch the Extter princes fight like beasts?" Kashan smiled, "Then we'll let the fight end in the first round." ”

Raphael, who listened to all this, couldn't help but clench his fists.

"You want a close match," the Scarlet Witch put her hands back into her sleeve, "then we'll push the situation to one side once and for all." ”

Cohen and Miranda exchanged glances, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Do you want Exeter after Nunn to fall into a mess of endless disputes over the throne and doubts about power?"

The head of the dark room shook his head slightly:

"Then we'll give you Chaman Rumba. ”

Raphael pursed his lips, closed his eyes and sighed.

"So, Nunn is deaf and helpless in the face of calamity and rumba," he said, looking at the ground in a daze, "and all of our hind hands are out of order." ”

"It's me who loses. Raphael landed low.

Kasan snorted, her expression kind.

"I know what you're thinking, little friend," the Scarlet Witch nodded lightly, looking at the little slippery head who was about to cry, "Since you can't do anything, then capture a Walton's bloodline back to the stars as a bargaining chip, right?"

"It's a pity......"

Kashan shook her head with some regret.

The next moment, her expression was solemn.

"Morat, why is he in such a hurry?" the Red Witch raised her head, her eyes flashing, "Even letting such a hairy boy do such a thing?"

"Why are you in such a hurry—to train you in the same way as you raise an heir?"

Raphael, who was silent, remained silent.

Miranda thought of something and was shocked.

Kassan, who didn't get an answer, smiled confidently and spoke softly, her voice full of exhaustion and depression.

"He's got little time left, is he? ”

As soon as these words came out, all the Xingchen people were slightly stunned.

Raphael frowned even more.

"Tell me, how long can he last?" said the Red Witch faintly, with a hint of sorrow in her tone:

"Five years, or ten years?"

Raphael pursed her lips.

Tails looked at Kasan in a daze, and the figure of Morat came to his mind.

The one who could force Gilbert and Genie away with a single word, the old man who could see through lies with his eyes.

Actually......

The next second, Kashan took a deep breath, as if to suck all the emotions away.

"Forget it, don't mention him," she tugged at the corners of her mouth slightly, "let's get back to business." ”

The Scarlet Witch clapped her hands.

With her applause, many people walked in outside the thick door.

There were black-sand collar soldiers in patrol uniforms, as well as ordinary people dressed in different costumes, both men and women, who looked like civilians.

But they all looked at the people in the cell with unkind faces.

The soldiers of the Black Sand Collar walked into the cell with their blades in hand, and came to the stars.

The "civilians" walked quietly behind Kasan, not saying a word.

Tails sighed.

Tulha chuckled.

Seeing the scene around her, Miranda's expression changed, and Cohen lowered his head in pain.

"What now?" said the vigilante softly, gritting his teeth.

"Steady. Raphael replied in a low voice.

"If you still refuse to hand over the Staff of the Stars," the Srimson Witch smiled slightly, "you know...... It's not just the prince that I can threaten you. ”

"And your companions. ”

Raphael looked at Kasan coldly.

The Scarlet Witch leaned over and nodded slightly, her usual kind smile.

Tails looked at the plurality of soldiers in the field, watching them stand in formation and block the exit, and his heart was cold.

Finished.

Now—he felt the chill on his neck, glancing at a nonchalant Tuleha—what to do?

But at this very moment.

"Boom!"

A loud roar hit.

Kasan jerked her head!

Rubble and dust fell from the top of the head again, and a puff of smoke and dust suddenly stirred up in the cell!

The soldiers of the Black Sand Collar subconsciously unsheathed.

Before everyone could react, several figures suddenly fell from the sky.

Just like the previous Tulha.

The Fire Knight realized that something was wrong, and he reacted quickly: Tails only felt his arm tighten, and then Tuleha firmly grasped his right hand and controlled it in front of him.

The smoke was so loud that Tails couldn't open his eyes, and he could only distinguish what was going on in the field by his hearing.

As the figures flickered, countless fighting sounds could be heard in the smoke and dust, metal clashes and angry shouts of soldiers!

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

"Sonorous!"

"Defend quickly!"

"Be careful!"

"Back off!"

"Protect well...... Huh!"

In just a dozen seconds, with the sound of a human body falling to the ground, the chaotic sounds all disappeared, and the field gradually quieted down.

The smoke and dust finally cleared.

Tails was still clutched tightly by Tulha, the blade not leaving his neck, while the Fire Knight frowned, coldly observing the situation in the cell.

The prince saw everything in front of him.

Shock hit him.

Just where the Scarlet Witch was standing, a large hole had been cracked in the ceiling overhead.

The soldiers of the Black Sand Collar, including the people of the Dark Room, all retreated to the position of the thick gate, and all looked nervously and surprised at the uninvited guests in front of them—these intruders who had fallen from the sky.

It was a dozen warriors with strong bodies, fierce eyes, neat movements, gray clothes and light armor, and masked with scimitars.

Some were even armed with well-armed shields and crossbows.

At this moment, the invaders were forming a formation, and they were standing in front of the soldiers of the Black Sand Collar, separating them from the Star Man and Tuleha in the cell.

And at the side of these sudden warriors, quite a few enemies had already fallen - and even behind the line they had formed, the Red Witch was standing in front of Raphael and them with an ugly face, far from the protection of her own people.

Kasan was in a bad situation—she had a long, white-handled knife with an odd arc across her neck, and her right arm was tightly clamped.

"All stand back," the captor behind her said coldly to the soldiers of the Black Sand Collar, "for the sake of this lady's carotid artery." ”

Cohen looked at the intruders in amazement, glancing at Miranda and Waia in his heart.

Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden surprise.

"Who is this?" said the vigilant officer, bowing down.

Miranda shook her head and looked at Raphael, who was still silent.

Looking at these warriors who suddenly appeared, Tails' pupils shrank.

Wait a minute.

This outfit ......

He scrutinized the warriors' equipment, and then opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Tails recognized the men.

The silent standoff lasted for a few seconds.

Until the kidnapped Scarlet Witch sighed.

"So, the rumors are true. ”

She withdrew her gaze from the blade on her neck and said to the captor standing behind her:

"You really built an emergency passage in the city gates?"

The Scarlet Witch narrowed her eyes, glancing at the intruders around her, and then at her subordinates, who had been forced to retreat outside the thick door, in a low tone, "You can even hide the dark room...... I'm underestimating you. ”

A low laugh came from behind her.

"Snow Blade and Dragon Wing—from the day Exeter was founded, we have been restrained and restrained by each other. ”

The captor showed a pale face, leaned over and whispered in Kassan's ear, "Beware of every move in the dark room: this is what we should do." ”

Raphael frowned when he saw the man's face.

Under the surprised gazes of Miranda and Cohen, Raphael walked forward with an unkind face, and came to the side of Kasan and the intruder.

"You're late!"

The young man from the secret department said coldly to the visitor: "Almost killed us!"

The visitor raised his eyebrows, and his pale face moved slightly.

"It takes a process to gather the scattered brethren. The gaze of the visitor passed over Raphael.

He looked at Tulha, who was holding Tails hostage, and threw a defiant look at the Fire Knight, "Hey, Tulha, thanks to the noise you made - otherwise we would have looked for it longer." ”

Tulha frowned, and let out an unkind whisper from his throat.

Tails stared blankly at the pale man and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The visitor raised his eyebrows, and his gaze wandered over the small slippery head in the corner, lingering slightly.

"Also, you'd better be polite," the pale-faced man shook the blade that stopped at Kasan's neck, "After all, I'm saving your life." ”

"The Bone Boy from the Secret Branch. ”

Seri Nicola, the commander of the White Blade Guard, the captain of King Nune's personal guard, the enemy of the Shining Star Royal, and one of the five generals of Exter, said calmly to Raphael.
