The rumbling sound gradually came closer, and Chai Anping hugged Lux tightly in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'm with you."
"...Are you also a mage, Gracie?"
"……cough!"
His eyes wandered: "Ah, it's a long story."
"asshole."
Lux tapped his chest lightly, and tied a beautiful silver chain around his wrist.
The identities of Chai Anping and Lux as mages were undoubtedly exposed, and both the people present and the escaped mages knew it.
Chai Anping believed that Quinn and the others would not tell anyone, but others... basically didn't need to count on it.
"Gallup, unlock the golden shield."
Suddenly, the calm voice of Jarvan III came from the pit. He had finally gotten rid of the mental magic and woke up.
Although he does not have a rich enough royal bloodline that prevents him from using the power of bloodline, he still has some resistance to magic itself.
"Brother, are you awake?!" Prince Jarvan, whose real name is Gallup, said in surprise.
"Um……"
Sanshi glanced around the scene with deep eyes. In fact, he had woken up a long time ago, and even when he was controlled, he still retained a certain degree of consciousness.
He is a witness!
Burnt black smoke spiraled into the sky from behind him, bringing with it some Forbidden Demon Stone powder.
"His Majesty……"
The thick light shield slowly dissipated, and one of Valor's wings was penetrated, dripping with blood. Quinn felt distressed and quickly picked it up to treat the wound.
Chai Anping and Lux couldn't help but look at Jiawen III who walked out of the golden light with some anxiety. They did not follow the mage to escape. It can be said that their lives were all in the hands of the third generation.
Of course...if the third generation is still wise, Chai Anping, who has read the script long ago, is already somewhat sure of his final decision.
"Father! Father! My rescue is too late!"
The prince, who had been pestered by the mage, finally cleared the obstacle with the help of the city guard, and flew over with the blood-stained Halberd of Atama.
"Where's Uncle Xin Zhao...?"
Seeing the scene, his expression suddenly changed and he was about to rush over.
Jarvan III suddenly raised his voice: "Stop! It's safe here. You should gather the city guards immediately and guard this place. No one is allowed to enter without my order."
"Also...let the mages who attacked the palace leave."
really!
Chai Anping was overjoyed when he heard this. Jiawen III really still wanted to abolish the ban on magic! It may even be that this attack made him even more determined!
Jarvan III waved his hand somewhat lonelyly: "And call all the doctors in the palace. If you arrive, William should be here soon."
"How can...!" The prince immediately became anxious after hearing this: "Those traitors who dare to rebel must be caught and executed!"
"I said let them leave!" Sanshi suddenly turned cold.
"yes!"
The prince's face was ashen and he hurried out again. The dragon girl glanced at Chai Anping and Lux in the dark, but she did not continue to follow the prince at this time - it was basically safe now anyway.
"Well... it's Longlong's duty to protect His Majesty."
Jarvan III, the only one in good health in the audience, was otherwise fine except for some pain when his back hit the bookcase.
He stepped over the bumpy ground and slowly came to Chai Anping.
Prince Gallup was lying on the ground, barely watching the scene with the corner of his eye, and swallowed secretly - even if his royal brother wanted to catch them both, he had to save them!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Chai Anping lowered his head with difficulty. Lux, who originally wanted to get up, was tightly held by him, but now she took the initiative to bury her face in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, Inspector Shelley."
Jarvan III's words set the tone for the rest of the conversation: "Of course I don't feel that you are afraid."
He touched his beard twice, sighed and sat down directly.
Luxurious clothes were cushioned in the rubble. He sat down opposite Chai Anping across Picker and Dobbin, no longer graceful.
"What you said just now is so good. No one is innocent, including me. It should even be said that our royal family is the culprit." Jarvan III sighed: "I should have made up my mind a long time ago."
Want him to blame Silas? Blame the mage?
He is indeed full of anger now, but the target is himself!
"It's not too late now." Chai Anping lowered his eyebrows and spoke respectfully.
"Ha... it's not too late, Inspector, you are speaking much more boldly now than before." Jarvan III grinned.
After confirming that this was not the emperor's sarcasm, Chai Anping coughed up blood and covered it with his hands, but a drop still fell on Lux's hair. He smiled sarcastically: "Well... Your Majesty can't risk my life for this."
Should we capture and behead the meritorious ministers? Besides, Your Majesty, we can barely be regarded as 'comrades-in-arms' who have lived and died together."
The Third saw through at a glance his little intention of taking credit for his misery, and with a knowing smile he continued: "I'm not that ungrateful, I don't want the army to come over just because I don't want them to complicate things... Well, that's right for you.
What ability is this?”
He suddenly changed the topic and pointed curiously at the magic power flowing into Picker and the two from Chai Anping's hands.
"I call it 'alchemy magic'. It is a magic power that can replicate the effects of potions." Chai Anping mentioned briefly.
"So what is being copied now is the healing potion?"
"Um."
"What a convenient ability." The third generation looked at the gray light and murmured to himself: "Some can control people's minds, some can destroy cities, and some can even replace people... It is inevitable for ordinary people to be afraid
ah."
When Chai Anping heard this, he suddenly felt a chill.
"Actually, there aren't many such powerful mages..."
"Haha, but there are some deep-rooted old stubborns who are not even willing to give those promising young people a chance." Jarvan III narrowed his eyes: "Someone has to take responsibility for this rebellion, right? Inspector Shelley, Su Wen, you are investigating the case.
The ability is first-rate, why don't you tell me who should take on this responsibility?"
"..."
Chai Anping rolled his eyes, feeling that the murderous intent was not directed at him: "We are not responsible anyway."
"Hahaha! What a naughty little boy!"
Jiawen III immediately clapped and laughed when he heard this: "Then I will be responsible!"
He suddenly stood up: "It's so outrageous to have a little girl in your arms while you're talking to me! He looks a bit like my younger brother. How about you become his deputy? Or let him be your deputy...
…”
Um...what?!
Deputy?
Deputy Director of the Inspection Department?!
"Lie..."
Chai Anping was stunned, Your Majesty, why don't you follow the routine? It's a bit sudden!
"How about giving you a knighthood by the way? What do you like?"
"Your Majesty, please stop teasing him."
Lux blushed and slightly exposed her eyes: "He was seriously injured!"
"Tsk."
Jarvan III looked at Lux's appearance, turned around and left in annoyance, waving his broad sleeves: "Okay, don't worry about anything, two children, I will solve everything, don't worry! Don't worry!"
His figure seemed to become majestic all of a sudden, and the aura of the king gradually began to return to him as he stood up.
The one who rose up after saving the emperor last time... was the first generation Crown Guard!
Chai Anping felt excited all over, and then suddenly remembered something important——
"Your Majesty, General Manager Zhao Xin just stopped the enemy at the spiral staircase, and now his life or death is uncertain!"
Life or death is so uncertain... there has been no sound for a long time!
Chai Anping roared in his heart, but he didn't dare to say this!
"..."
Jiawen III suddenly turned around, his face twisted, and his voice became sharp: "What did you say!?"
