"come in."

When Jackie heard the voice of Lady Sophie, he opened the door and walked in. When he didn't see Suri and Angel there, he couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds, then quickly approached and asked: "Did something happen?

"

Su Ruijing asked him suddenly, shook his head blankly, and then nodded suddenly: "Nothing happened to us, so we don't know what happened outside."

Jackie suddenly realized that it was normal for them to be here. There was so much commotion outside and people were panicking, and no one was in the mood to sleep.

After the anxiety subsided, Jackie turned to Sophie, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Sir Sophie."

Sophie opened her tired eyes and asked: "How is the situation outside? Have you found any valuable information?"

"Yes, Lady Sophie." Jackie blinked her blue eyes, her slightly white eyelashes trembled, and her brows knitted together for a moment, "I found that the royal family seemed to be secretly transporting something."

"What?" Su Rui curiously asked.

I saw Jackie shaking his head: "The thing was wrapped in black cloth, and there was no way to use magic to detect it. As soon as it got close to me, the magic instantly failed, so I don't know very well, but it seems that the thing is

It was brought in from outside the city."

"It will be escorted by the Royal Guards and taken to the palace, I guess."

"That's true, that's right." Jackie confirmed Sophie's words and continued: "And they seem to be coming from the Star Forest, and their movements are very secretive. I was lucky enough to bump into them."

"It's probably because they were unlucky that you bumped into them." Angel couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed.

Jackie scratched his head in embarrassment and showed an honest smile: "What you said seems right."

"Well, Suri helped us qualify for the regional competition, and we will most likely be separated by then."

"What district competition?" Jackie was still confused when she came back. Su Rui explained a little, and Jackie gave her a thumbs up: "Miss Su Rui is so smart. This way we are one step closer to our goal."

Take a big step."

Angel snorted and sneered at this: "She is just lucky."

Su Ruizheng was praised, and when she saw Angel's sour look, she felt even happier.

Sophie put all their fighting behind her, walked to the window, stretched out her hand to push the window open, and a gust of cold wind poured in.

Su Rui shuddered at the blow, turned around and saw Sophie standing in front of the window, as if frozen.

From here, you can just see the castle lighthouse of the Les Royal family standing in the center of the city in the distance.

Sophie had a hunch that the danger here had just begun!

The Rice family, the Wang family in charge of the Golden Holy City, has been inherited from generation to generation since the founding of the "World". As a force, it can be said to be deeply rooted in District 14.

Although the Crusaders and Rosicrucians have grown rapidly in recent years, they have not been enough to shake their status.

Sitting on the golden throne in the gorgeous and luxurious palace was an elder in his sixties, with a thick beard covering half of his face, a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle, and the skin on his hands slightly

A little slack, but still strong. The foot-long golden scepter was firmly in his hands. The heavy crown did not crush his head, but instead gave him an incomparable strength.

Majesty!

"King, the things have arrived."

There is not only an old man in the hall, but also several people under the throne. Their clothes are not as elaborate and grand as the king's, but they look like nobles, either marquis or important ministers!

The young man who spoke at this time, with an upright posture and firm eyes, was none other than Brod Owen.

He is the knight captain and one of the cronies of the old King Rais.

As soon as Brod's voice fell, he heard the sound of wheels rolling, which was particularly harsh and loud on the moiré marble floor.

Old King Rice's eyes narrowed when he saw something being pushed in, and his chest moved immediately.

The knight who came in with the cart put down his things and quickly left.

The thing covered by black cloth stood alone in the center of the hall, while everyone looked at each other in confusion. There was no trace of joy in their eyes when they looked at the thing. It was not a treasure, it was just a hot potato!

"King, do you want the thing to be sealed and sent away as soon as possible?" Brod raised his head and looked at the old King Rice who had not said a word yet. Everyone present knew what this thing was. It was left in the Holy Land.

If there is one more day, there will be one more day of peace in the Holy City.

"Brod is right. Before the news leaks out, I think it would be best for us to hand over the things to 'higher' as soon as possible."

King Laisi moved his beard, and the people below became quiet and submissive, but their hearts were not at peace. All decisions were made by the king's thoughts.

After waiting for a long time, which filled the hall with an anxious atmosphere, Old King Lais finally spoke.

"Let's seal it in the royal capital for now." The voice was old and hoarse but there was no doubt about it.

Regarding the king's decision, even if the ministers were puzzled, they could only bow their heads and say yes.

The same goes for Brod. He got to his current position not only by his clever mind, but also by his 100% loyalty and obedience to the king.

In addition to dealing with this secret, he has other tasks to do.

"Broad."

When he was about to leave, someone called him from behind.

Brod turned his head to look at the blond young man walking towards him in high spirits. When he came closer and looked at his face carefully, he could see a trace of the old King Rice.

"Your Highness Kaz." Brod bowed his head respectfully and stepped aside.

Kaz Rais, the youngest son of the old King Rais, has a high reputation among the ministers and is very capable. Although he has two older brothers, he is the one most likely to inherit the throne.

However, Brod didn't care. His loyalty was not to the Rice King family, but to the old King Rice.

Several highnesses are now fighting openly and secretly. As one of the most valued cronies of the old King Les, he has certainly become a target, but he does not want to take sides.

Kaz raised a smile, his eyes revealing his trust in him: "Brod, I wonder if I have offended you in any way?"

"Your Highness is joking. Of course you have not offended me."

"Then why do you always avoid me when you see me?" Facing Brod's obvious concession, Kaz was not going to give up. He had been fighting for Brod for more than a day or two.

Brod's brown eyes drooped: "Your Highness, I have other things to do. If Your Highness doesn't have any instructions, I will leave first." After saying that, he didn't linger any longer and walked directly from the card.

I'm leaving now.

Looking at Brod's leaving figure, Katz, who was standing with a slender and straight figure at an angle, had a smile on his lips, and his eyes revealed a certain confidence and flamboyance!
