Imperial Palace, Magic Garden.

Exquisite five-story golden magic towers stand among the exotic flowers and plants in the garden, and each royal archmage has an independent magic tower.

Grand Magician Arman has always been a little restless lately, and the Great Magician, who had just entered a meditative state, was interrupted by a knock on the door outside the cultivation room.

Fighting back his anger, Arman opened the door to the cultivation room.

"Great Magician, the Emperor has summoned you. The apprentice was standing respectfully outside the door, Arman's royal mage robe already in his hands.

"Good. Arman took the mage's robe and prepared to leave.

"Great Magician. The apprentice looked like he was about to speak.

Arman frowned, "Something to talk about." ”

"Someone just left this outside the magic tower. The apprentice handed over a letter.

Arman opened the letter, and only four words were written on the entire letter paper, "Be careful, extinguish!"

"Who sent it?"

"The letter was held outside the door and no one was seen. ”

Arman glanced up at his magic apprentice, not as if he was lying, "Who sent it? Remind yourself, or provoke?"

Arman's already restless mind was further disturbed by the inexplicable letter.

Arman's hands caught fire, and the entire sheet of paper was burned to ashes. The great magician clapped his hands, didn't say anything, and went straight out.

Outside the Fengluan Pavilion, the two personal maids of the emperor and queen were looking forward to it, and when they saw Arman coming in the air, they hurriedly greeted him, "Great magician, you are finally here, the emperor and queen are already in a hurry." ”

Arman's heart moved slightly, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"We don't know, everyone has been kicked out, except for you, the emperor, who is now not allowed to enter. The two maids said anxiously.

The matter was urgent, and Arman walked inside, and the door of the emperor's apartment was closed at this time. Arman was about to knock on the door when a voice rang out from inside the room, "Great Magician, come in." ”

"I've seen the emperor and queen. Arman entered the house and saluted the emperor and queen, who was sitting at the table in the living room drinking tea.

"Yono, there are no outsiders here, so these customs are exempt. ”

Yono is the nickname of the Grand Magician of Arman, and almost no one in the palace knows about it.

Arman saw that the emperor was fine, and his mentality gradually relaxed, "I am in such a hurry to summon me, I don't know what happened?"

"You come with me. The Empress got up and walked to the side room next to the living room, and gently pushed open the door of the side room.

Arman was shocked as he walked into the room, only to see a maid in her thirties lying on the table, with a side face facing the door, her face was gray and distorted, and there was a little black blood under her nose.

Arman stepped forward quickly, put his fingers on the maid's neck, and the corpse was already cold, "Why is Yan'er dead?"

"That's what I'm looking for you for. I was still serving Yan'er before going to bed last night, and this morning I asked her to comb my hair and no one responded, and this is what it looks like when I open the door. ”

Arman muttered: "It seems that he died of poisoning, and there is no sign of resistance before he dies, as for what kind of poison it is, please ask the imperial doctor to determine, as for whether it is suicide or being poisoned? ”

"The emperor has just been assassinated, and the maid who has served me for many years has died inexplicably, whether it is suicide or poisoning, it will cause panic in the palace. ”

"What does the queen mean?"

The Empress said in a steady voice: "Yono, don't alarm the imperial doctor and the dragon scale guard about this matter, let you investigate it privately." During this time, I will have Casper under the command to strengthen the guards of the Imperial Palace. ”

"What about Yan'er's corpse?"

"Please also ask Yono to deal with it, I will tell the public that Yan'er has taken leave to go home to visit relatives. ”

The word "extinguish" instantly appeared in Arman's mind, and there was a faint trace of sweat in his palm, but he still said without changing his face: "I understand." ”

Arman dragged the maid's body to the middle of the room, and a blazing white flame instantly covered her body. In just a moment's effort, except for the humanoid ashes on the ground and the faint smell of burnt paste in the air, the maid Yan'er completely disappeared from this world.

"Have a cup of tea. The Empress herself brought a cup of tea and handed it to Arman.

Arman's expression instantly stiffened, and the trembling of the hands that took the teacup could not be concealed.

The emperor sneered, "Afraid that I will poison the tea?" The smile was full of the endless charm of a mature woman.

The emperor said faintly: "I have been in the palace for more than 30 years, and I am afraid that you are the only one in this palace who still remembers what I looked like when I was young." Apart from you, I can't find anyone in this palace who can speak to my heart. ”

Arman took the teacup, but did not let go of the hands of the emperor and queen who handed the tea, and sighed softly: "If it weren't for staying by your side, even just to look at you more, why would I have been driven by the imperial family for so many years?"

"Soon, when Grantham ascends the throne, and the palace has a new hostess, I will move out, move out of Arantis, and choose a place where you like to build a palace. The emperor said softly.

The teacup in Arman's hand fell to the ground, but he gripped the queen's hand more tightly.

The emperor gently withdrew her hand, "Before the emperor ascends the throne, there is one more thing to do." Joan seems to have discovered something, and is tracking down Jalithlet. ”

Arman was taken aback, "How is that possible? No one can know about what I saw Jelitlet!"

"The problem could also be on the Hollo side. You know, the stakes are too high for Joan to continue investigating. ”

"What do you want to do?"

"Just let him disappear, and it can be regarded as clearing the obstacles for the emperor. ”

"Joan is the prince after all, will it cause other troubles at this time?" Arman said with a hint of concern.

The emperor said faintly: "So this matter can only be done secretly, if it is just missing, no one will care about it at this time." ”

"I see, you can arrange for someone to provide me with Joan's place. ”

"No, you don't need to do it yourself. Casper's men raised some of the dead, and they were in charge of doing it. You just have to go along, and when you're done, you don't need anyone else to come back but you. ”

Arman suddenly felt a chill in his body, and the word "extinguish" resurfaced in his mind.

......

Arthur didn't expect Van Lowe to be so efficient, he only met in the afternoon, and when he met again in the evening, he had already started to lay out for Arman.

"The people we planted in the Imperial Palace will first plant a thorn in Arman's heart, but if we do it, we must lure Arman out of the Imperial Palace before acting. ”

"Action, you mean you have what it takes down the Grand Magician of Arman?" Arthur was overjoyed.

Fan Luo smiled proudly, "No matter how strong the twelfth-level great magician is, he is also a person, and we have the entire Isaac Kingdom behind us. And we didn't plan to do it head-on, an angry twelveth-level great mage caused too much movement. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"It may be dangerous, we need the cooperation of His Highness Joan to lead Arman to the place we have arranged. ”

Arthur couldn't help but laugh and said, "You don't know, Joan likes excitement and adventure!"
