Late at night, two days after Charlotte and Hancock met, an incident was taking place in the darkness of the Heberis royal capital. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A pair of masked men in black make their way through a filthy sewer.

In this kind of place, which is full of miscellaneous garbage and slippery and sticky dirt, not to mention running, even walking normally is quite a hard task, but the people in black have no way out.

Although the environment and the attire of the men in black might suggest that they were people doing dirty work, this is not the case, not only are they not those people, but on the contrary, they are knights of great honor.

There were many knightly orders in Heberis, and the knights were held by the royal family and the nobles, respectively, and they were not regular armies, but similar to special forces.

And now marching in the sewers are the elites selected by the noble faction from their own knights, and they are all the best of the knights.

"Speed, we have to get everything done before dawn. ”

The leading man in black wiped the sweat from his two heads and whispered to his teammates.

"The future of this country depends on our actions, so there is no room for mistakes, let alone being late. ”

Hearing the leader's words, the man in black once again quickened his pace.

After a long journey down the sewers, the men in black came to an exit with charred black branches, which was the target according to the previous agreement.

The leader of the men in black and his subordinates glanced at each other, confirmed the correct location, and then used the key to open the iron door of the exit, which was not connected to the same deep well as the street, but to a dark room like a prison cell, the room was narrow and dark, and it did not look anything special.

The reason why it is such a room is not because of a mistake, but because the magic that is used as a cover is in effect, and it is one of the secret passages that serve as an emergency escape from the palace, and it is a secret that only the royal family and a few in power know.

The Leader pulls out a ring from his coat pocket, which is a symbol of status as a member of the royal family and a magic item that activates most of the secret passages in the palace.

Drawing the ring on the wall, the originally hard wall spread out like a cloud, revealing the staircase hidden behind it, and at the top of the staircase, there was already a person waiting there.

"You're ten minutes behind what was agreed upon. ”

Holding a valuable pocket watch in his hand, he said slowly in a tone that was completely devoid of humility and respect.

"But now is not the time to waste your time, the second prince is under house arrest in a warehouse next to the basement of the palace. ”

The attendant handed out a handful of gems to the man in black, which were magic items made of sealed magic, but they were only low-level magic items, which could only be used for emergencies.

The palace is full of mechanisms that detect mana fluctuations, and once someone activates a magic transformation, it is triggered, so you can only use such magic items to exploit loopholes.

"Crush this. ”

The leader did not hesitate to crush the gems as instructed by his squire, which, unlike ordinary gems, were like hollow ice cubes that could be crushed with a little force.

After the gem was crushed, the magic that had been sealed in it was triggered, and the blue magic enveloped the leader's body, and after only a few breaths, the leader's body seemed to disappear without a trace.

"This magic doesn't last long, we have to do it before the effect ends"

After speaking, the attendant didn't look at the man in black, and turned around and walked quickly, while the man in black glanced at each other, crushed the gem and walked quickly.

This time the journey was much easier, and because of the pre-mobilization and arrangement, even the guards and patrols that should have been around did not show up.

As he progressed, one of the men in black whispered.

"Who is he?"

The tone of the man in black was not good, and the so-called 'he' obviously meant the squire who was leading the way at the front. It's easy to feel pain, and as a person who does things for the big guys, the guy dressed as an attendant despises the man in black with a condescending face, and as a party that doesn't despise it, it is natural that the man in black has resentment.

"Him?"

The leader of the men in black glanced up at his attendant to make sure that the man did not express dissatisfaction with the whispers of himself and the others, and then answered his subordinates' questions.

"Because this operation is too secret, I didn't tell you beforehand that the lord is the chief court mage of Heberis. ”

There is no need to mention names, there is no need to introduce life deeds, just such a title is needed to give an idea of its status, whether you are proficient in magic or not, you must know the weight of this title, a position that only the best magicians can hold.

Hearing the sound of his subordinates gasping for air, the leader shook his head with a wry smile.

"When you know, shut your mouth and do what you need to do. ”

This time, the people in black were silent, and even if they were dissatisfied before, they would not show it anymore now.

However, the silence of the people in black does not mean that the chief dressed as an attendant will be silent.

"I'm Simon Campbell, chief court magician of Heberis, remember that name, fools, and that might make you a little smarter. ”

Annoying guy. This impression was almost imprinted in the heart of the man in black, and instantly overshadowed the image of 'intellectual rationality' that the world held for magicians. Therefore, it is true that distance produces American style.

"If you dare to hold me back, I'll put you back in the sewers to fend for yourselves. ”

After saying this proudly, Simon stopped in front of a heavy iron door, behind which was the underground area that served as a warehouse.

"This is it. ”

Simon said to the man behind him after stroking his palm on the door frame for a week.

"It's heavily guarded from here, and I don't know the specifics. ”

In other words, from here on, it is a realm that even the aristocratic faction cannot touch, there is no help and no backup, and there are only two paths of success or failure.

"So you'd better keep those ornament-like eyes bright, improvisation is the most important thing. ”

After saying that, Simon gritted his teeth and quickly glanced at the men in black.

Oops, that's the only way Simon can think of a description. If Simon was to choose, he would never choose such a group of fools who didn't even know magic to do such an important thing, but there was no way, after the new king ascended the throne, he scattered the court magicians and monitored them badly because of jealousy, and even he himself had to work hard and add the help of the aristocratic faction to get out, not to mention other magicians.

Exhaling hard, Simon put his hands over the iron door, and judging by the reaction to the detected magic feedback, there was no defensive or alarming magic, but it was not a good thing.

If there is no defense and early warning, it means that the other side may directly deploy a large number of defensive forces nearby, and then what will be faced next is a tough battle.

However, this was also expected, so this kind of frontal forced breakthrough operation was formulated.

"Are you ready?"

Simon asked.

The answer of the men in black was simple and easy to understand, and they drew their weapons one after another.

"Go to war!" (To be continued.) )
