Arthur and Joan broke out of the round-up of the Church of Light, and the wisest choice was naturally to go away, but Joan unexpectedly chose to return to Arantis.

Arthur knew that Joan must have a reason to go back for taking the risk, so he did not hesitate to choose to accompany him on the adventure.

After saying goodbye to Shirill, they plunged headlong to the northwest, and fifteen miles away there was an ordinary town, where the Clay family had a secret short-distance teleportation magic array.

They had to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible, and the most dangerous place at this time might be the safest place.

When Arthur and the others arrived in the town, the figures in the secluded town were extremely busy coming and going, and there was no secret stronghold at all.

At this time, it was McGinn's aunt Adele who was in charge of the town, and she was transferred here as soon as she escaped from the farm.

The magic circle located in the basement of a grocery store flickered non-stop, and with each flicker, someone came out of the magic circle, and then quickly left the place under Adele's arrangement. The important people of the Clay family reacted immediately after receiving the news, and they fled out of the city one after another, fleeing to the family's secret strongholds scattered throughout the country. This place has been used as a transit place by the family, and will be abandoned immediately after the transfer.

Adele was very happy to see McGinn, who was worried that she would be captured by the church or the city guards.

When McGinn proposed to use the family's magic array to return to the imperial capital, Adele flatly refused, "You guys are crazy, the church and the city guards are here this time, and the elders in the family are now rushing out of the city, first avoid this limelight and then say, do you go back to the city now to die?"

No matter how McGinn grinds hard, Adele just doesn't agree, and in the end Joan has to show up in person.

Adele naturally knew His Highness Eleven, and Adele, who was extremely smart, immediately reacted, "Your Highness, the church and the city guards are coming at you this time, right?"

Joan neither admitted nor denied it, but only pleaded in a low voice: "Please help the girl, I have a reason why I must go back." ”

Adele sighed lightly, "The battle between your imperial families is too far away from us little people who make a living underground, but as long as we have a little to do with you, we may not recover." Since McGinn has chosen to be friends with you, we Clay family can't stay out of it entirely. The loss of the three of us this time is really not small, if one day His Highness can return to Arantis in the open, please don't forget this favor?"

Joan gave a solemn salute, and there was one more promise on his shoulders.

When Joan and Arthur returned to the imperial capital, it was almost dawn, and they didn't dare to stay where they were, so they hid back in the underground vault on Hotel Street for the first time.

McGinn and the two of them went their separate ways, and he had to use the daytime to finalize all the enchanted equipment and food he had purchased before, so that Arthur and the others could transport them away at any time.

And the imperial capital is not destined to be calm during this day......

......

The turmoil in the imperial capital began early in the morning.

The cavalry teams went out of the city one after another, and the direction of the cavalry march was all north of the city.

Samoral was extremely embarrassed this time, a large-scale raid, not to mention catching Arthur and a few of them, not even a few small shrimp participating in the auction.

After all, Symmoral still underestimated Arthur, and what he didn't expect was the sudden intervention of the church, although many people who participated in this underground auction were arrested, but most of them fell into the hands of the Inquisition. The city guards want people from the church, don't even think about it!

Unable to end the battle, Samoral mobilized tens of thousands of city guard cavalry to conduct a carpet search.

The imperial capital also did not stop, and the guards responsible for daily patrols and vigilance acted in unison, rushing into many trading houses and shops to search and arrest, these are the businesses of the three underground forces on the surface, like the Manulife grocery store in charge of McGinn.

These three have been operating in the imperial capital for many years, and they reacted on the night of the incident, and important personnel and sensitive items were transferred overnight, and those who dared to put it on the bright side were some legitimate businesses and small people who were deliberately left to the city guards to save face.

The city guards finally found some clues in this fanfare, such as Arthur and they stopped at Manulife grocery store on the day they put on makeup and entered the city, and the guys in the grocery store were forced to confess under the coercion of the city guards, and some people even reported seeing Arthur in the area of Hotel Street.

Although the Inquisition did not make arrests all over the city with such fanfare as the city guards, it also mobilized all forces inside and outside the city. Moreover, Fast knew Arthur far better than Samored, and he knew that Arthur probably did not leave the imperial capital, because Arthur would not venture back for an underground auction.

The Inquisition placed most of its power in the city, staring at every corner of the imperial capital with hidden eyes, waiting for Arthur and them to show their heads.

Danger is getting closer and closer to Arthur.

......

Imperial Palace, Fengluan Pavilion.

There was a layer of frost on the emperor's face, and the palace maids and chamberlains all hid far away, for fear that one would accidentally attract death.

"How did he die?"

"The news from the scene came back that he was frozen to death by ice magic. "It was Caspar, the Grand Commander of the Dragonscale Guard, who bowed down in front of the Emperor and replied.

Arthur could never have imagined that the man they had killed was actually the Queen's man.

"And what about what's on him?"

"When he found it, there was only one corpse, and the traces of the fight nearby were not obvious, and the spatial ring on his body was already missing when he was found. ”

The empress rubbed her brows unconsciously, "This useless waste, a million gold coins is a small matter, but it is not easy to get him to take a picture of that dragon egg! Is there a clue to who killed him?"

"That night there was a lot of chaos in the neighborhood, in addition to the various underworld figures who participated in the auction, as well as the captured city guards and the church's inquisition, the preliminary judgment was more like someone had eaten black, if the city guard or the referee did it, they would never just throw a corpse. ”

"It's just an ordinary underground auction, how could the city guards and the church suddenly appear to round up, and those underground forces that organized the auction are too unbearable, right?"

"I was just about to report this to you, and the inner circle we have planted in the church should send back a secret report that the targets of the church's arrest this time are Arthur and Joan. As for the city guards, Summerer doesn't know who he is capturing, just to avenge his unruly son!"

The emperor was obviously stunned, "Joan even dares to come back?"

"We also received information because of this, and the information coming from the church should not be wrong. ”

The emperor pondered for a moment, and then showed a sneer, "Since Joan is back, you guys keep an eye on a place for me, he will definitely not be able to run this time!"
