"What did you say?" The low voice was like thunder, which scared Jer trembled.

The old man in front of him seems peaceful, but he can destroy himself in every move.

He plucked up his courage and replied: "Shuyglare went to see Clarice. He said that on the day of His Majesty the Emperor's birthday, he would go to the Royal Theater to see the performances of the Song and Dance Company."

"How did you know this news?"

"Clarice told Lanti about this news. The little girl couldn't keep her mouth shut and revealed it inadvertently. She said she wanted to do the most exciting performance at the Royal Theater because there was a man she was willing to wait for her for the rest of her life. I know who she was talking about."

"...Is that true?" The old man waved his hand, and Jer retreated consciously.

He was meditating alone in the room, and after a while, he said, "What do you think about this matter, Capuno."

The vain shadow behind the old man stood up again: "Shuy Glair is not that stupid. He must have discovered our actions. After all, we didn't intend to hide it from him."

"Then you mean..."

“He is challenging us.”

"Challenge? Hum!" The old man spoke in disdainful tone: "Just because he wants to challenge us too?"

"The open and upright enemy is never scary, and the enemies hidden in the dark are the most dangerous. Shuiglair only said that he would go to the Royal Grand Theater, but how to go, how many people go, what identity they use, and what means they will bring are all unknown. We can destroy hundreds of Shuiglairs, but it is very difficult to find one Shuiglair."

"That's right, Capuno. Then you think..."

"Go and talk to Raschel, this person is still very capable."

The old man nodded: "Let Edoris go. They are old friends, and I hope they can touch him."

There is a small lake outside Winlington.

The scenery here is beautiful and the environment is quiet. If placed in modern society, it will definitely be considered a paradise for residents. However, for those who are far from crowded to yearn for primitive life, this kind of living environment that is far away from the crowd is precisely the biggest failure in life.

In different eras, the environments where successful people and losers live or different, but the definitions they have are the same.

Rasher is now living by this small lake and he is completely failing, and he doesn't even get a chance to return to Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

Despite repeated pleading for him by Marquis Lentino Jacobs, the report Raschel made was suppressed.

He is like a lonely old man, and he can only fish by the lake when he has nothing to do.

The only benefit here is that you don’t have to worry about harassment from the tax officials.

Today, Rasher wore a straw hat, a straw raincoat, a fish basket, and a fishing rod. He came to the small lake to fish again.

He looked like a retired old man.

However, someone has occupied the big rock he often sits on today.

The great wizard of black robe Edoris.

Raschel looked at Edoris with half-squinted eyes, and said nothing. She threw out a handful of bait and sat in the open space next to Edoris, catching fish on her own.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I came here?" asked Edoris.

"When I see you, I know who that kid Jer is working for." Rasher replied in a plain tone: "Is the Magicians Association also interested in joining in the fun? It's so interesting. His Majesty the Emperor has bowed his head to Shio Iglair, but you want to stand up?"

"We have our reasons. Even His Majesty the Emperor cannot ignore the opinions of the magician. An excellent alchemist may have the power of a country, but a group of magicians also have the power to subvert a country. Moreover, in this matter, all magicians have the same attitude."

"So that's it. I think I can guess the reason. So are you going to kill him? Or imprison him?"

"If you can imprison, then imprison. If you can't do it, kill it. Of course, that's the last choice."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Shuyglare can't hide, and none of us can find him. You are the only one who can force him out."

Rasher sneered disdainfully: "That's a pity. I am an agent of the Empire, not an agent of the Magicians."

"It's a pity, because you're not even an Imperial Agent now."

Raschel's movements slowed down slightly.

The fishing rod sways lightly, which is a sign of a fish being caught.

"Do you know where the most interesting place to fish?" Rasher said suddenly.

Edoris was stunned for a moment and looked at him blankly.

"You sprinkle the bait and start waiting. You know that the fish will always take the hook, but you don't know which one will take the hook. Maybe it's a big fish or a small fish. Even if it's hooked, it doesn't mean it belongs to you, because it still has the possibility of decoupling."

Edoris felt that Raschel had something in his words, but he didn't know what that meant.

Sighing, Rasher continued, "For the past year, I have tried my best to catch the fish Sulglair. At the banquet of the little princess, I baited one after another, and I caught the small fish and even let the big fish bite the hook. But at the last moment, he unhooked and bit my bait together, and even dragged me down the water. From then on, I realized that this was not an ordinary big fish that could be caught easily."

Raschel stared at Edoris and said, "He is a shark, a magic shark in the sea, with powerful power, a terrifying appetite and wisdom beyond ordinary people's imagination. It is very powerful, and fishing rods are not enough to deal with such a shark."

"You help us spread bait, we will be responsible for catching him."

Rasher shook his head: "Do you know what the habits of the sharks are? They are cruising in the sea and are overlords in the sea. Their noses are very sharp and can smell your scent from a long distance and confirm your existence. Any human who has attacked them, once they do not die, will appear again next time, they will smell the smell from a distance. They will confirm the target and then attack their opponents first."

"you mean……"

"Shuyglair is a magic shark. As long as I take action, he will know my existence immediately. He will give priority to killing me. Although I am not a person who is afraid of death, I also don't want to die meaningless. I can die for the glory of the empire and my responsibility, and I don't frown. But for the personal interests of the Magicians Association, I'm sorry, I don't have that interest to fight to the death. What's more, this time I don't have enough bait to lure this magic shark."

"We can help you prepare, just say what you need."

"But I'm not interested, Edoris, you should know my temper. Don't try to convince me anymore. Do you think I'm the kind of person who can be easily convinced?"

Edoris sighed and left without saying anything.

Winlington Palace.

The little princess Avril sat in her dormitory with a serious expression.

The great master of red robes, Klos, stood behind her.

"Can you confirm the facts? Close."

"Yes, Your Highness the Princess. It is precisely because Padgett has evidence that Chaklay and his friends had colluded with the enemy that Chaklay was forced to seek refuge for Raschel. This is also because of this reason that Chaklay Bailey and his friends betrayal."

"He has such evidence in his hand, but he doesn't report it to the Empire?"

"Yes, he is malfeasance."

Avril lowered her head and thought. In fact, Avril's dissatisfaction with Padgett has been more than a day or two.

Padgett knew that Avril did not want Xiu Yi to be arrested, but she helped Rasher to pursue Xiu Yi everywhere, and even blatantly violated her orders and stubbornly disobeying her. This made her very annoyed. Unfortunately, although the princess has a high position, she has no power, and she has no power. She has no power for personnel appointments and removals, so she cannot directly dismiss Padgett.

Of course, she could also make a request to her father, but if Emperor Strick knew that the reason why the little princess defeated Padji was actually because he was involved in the arrest of Xiuyi, he would definitely not agree.

In the eyes of the emperor, this is definitely a act of loyalty.

But in Avril's opinion, if his own people cannot obey his orders, then he is not his own, and there is no doubt that this is true.

But now, the news from Close gave her a chance, a chance to punish Padgett.

"What do you think I should do?" After receiving the news, Avril asked Close.

Clos responded respectfully: "It is the best way to act according to the law of the country. But His Highness, considering your special relationship with Sullier, I think this is better to do it in private."

"you mean?"

"Send someone to kill directly."

Avril was slightly stunned.

Killing her guard commander? Avril had such an idea when she was angry. But she was just a little girl after all. Some things can be said to her, but when she really wanted to do it, she would be confused, hesitant, and hesitant.

Xiu Yi once told her many stories, most of which promote the existence of goodness and beauty, and invisibly subtly influenced the little princess's thoughts to a certain extent.

So after thinking for a while, she finally shook her head: "Forget it, such a thing should not be decided by a princess. I will tell my father about it and he will make a ruling."

"If this is the case, Princess, I have an offer."

"explain."

"It might be better to imprison Padgett and warn Rasher."

"Do you think this is better for Xiuyi?"

"Yes."

Avril thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, just do what you said, arrest Padget immediately and imprison him in the secret prison of the Royal Garden."

"yes."

Close promised to leave.

"Wait." Avril stood up, walked over and over again, and a hesitant expression appeared on his little face: "Close, do you really think it is right to not tell your father about this?"

"Even if you are the emperor, you can't see everything."

Avril nodded: "You're right, go do it. Bring Padgett over to me."

Mist Hidden Castle.

Xiuyi's return made the castle rejuvenate.

Lilith was the first to rush over to jump into Xiuyi's arms, like a wife who was waiting for her husband who was anxious to wait for her far away.

This made Xiu Yi feel a little embarrassed. He stroked Lilith's back: "Hey, you are my sister now. I don't want people to tell you that there is a taboo love here."

Lilith replied with great sternness: "So what? Who cares?"
