HCB Chapter 304: No. 5 on the Bounty List
Chapter 304: No. 5 on the Bounty List
The king's palace is located in the center of the city of Leri.
The chief court magician, Nobo, came to a door and knocked.
"Enter."
The person who spoke was a young man with a deep voice.
After Nobo entered the room, he closed the door, and then a hint of anxiety appeared on his calm face.
"Your Highness Cross, this is bad. Miss is heading towards the underground city."
The young man raised his head slightly, and his cold eyes under his black hair seemed to radiate chill.
"You didn't tell him about Marknik before?"
Noble sighed, "Of course I told him."
Cross put down the book in his hand, walked to the window and looked in the direction of the dungeon.
"He knows about my brother and sister in the dungeon?"
Nobo thought about it and carefully recalled everything Miss said and did in the dense forest.
“That shouldn’t be the case. Judging from his reaction at the time, he didn’t know.
Besides, we suppressed the news of that incident, so it is unreasonable for Miss to find out about it on the first day he entered the city."
The black-haired man was silent for a moment and never turned back.
“Let the royal guards surround the dungeon before he enters it, and prevent him from meeting Marknik.
If Michelle knew his whereabouts, things would be troublesome."
"But Your Highness, rashly mobilizing the royal guards will surely arouse the Archbishop's suspicion."
Cross had a plan for this, "Let them catch the impostor, so that it won't be considered a rash move.
Also, remember to spread the news of the arrest of Mis in the city and beyond in advance."
The fake he was referring to was naturally the one who pretended to be Miss.
Nobo's eyes lit up and he felt that Cross's plan was very reasonable.
Miss was originally suspected of shielding Hestice, and since he was shielding a wanted criminal, it was normal for the kingdom to dispatch troops to capture him.
When the church asks about this later, if we hand over the fake Miss, none of our flaws will be discovered.
As for the real Miss, after hearing the news from the guards on the road, he would definitely retreat and stay away from the dungeon.
If he is stubborn and prepared to force his way in...
"Your Highness Cross, I will lead the team myself. If Miss plans to force his way in, I can also try to dissuade him." Nobo suggested.
"No need. If he is determined to expose his position, I can only consider getting rid of him."
Cross slowly turned around and looked at Nobo, his eyes full of murderous intent.
"I'd rather let him die than let him become the most fatal failure in the plan."
Nuobo was frightened by the sharp gaze. His legs and feet seemed to be out of control and trembled unconsciously.
Just as he came to his senses and was about to leave, his steps slowed down.
Nobo looked back at Cross, and after some hesitation, he decided to say what he was thinking.
"Your Highness Cross, are we really not caring about the safety of those two princes?"
Cross turned his gaze to the window again, with his back to Nob.
"If Marknick dares to attack Cassius and Shana again, I will make sure he knows that hell is not the most dangerous place in the world."
. . . . . .
Outside the city of Lari, near the underground city.
Miss changed his mind and decided not to accept Nobo's advice, so he prepared to enter the dungeon alone.
He learned this from Victor.
Not long ago, Cassius, Shana and others returned to the city of Leri because of the news about the fake Miss.
But before they saw the fake Miss, they ran into Marknick.
At that time, the Marknik team encountered a bottleneck in their exploration of the underground city and happened to be resting near the city.
The [Higanbana] guild is very famous, so the arrival of Cassius and others attracted much attention.
Marknik spotted the magic sword that Cassius was carrying at a glance, and "borrowed" the magic sword without hesitation, and also injured Cassius.
His words at that time were indeed "borrowed".
But what is the difference between this completely unreasonable, one-sided and violent "borrowing" and robbery?
Cassius and Shana wanted to find Miss first, but Miss in Larry City disappeared because of their arrival.
In order to seek justice for her brother, the angry Shana decided to chase into the dungeon and take back the magic sword.
The reason why this incident did not spread widely in the city of Lairui was because the kingdom’s top leaders suppressed the news.
As an eyewitness, Victor witnessed the whole process of this incident.
"You really have a heart of stone, Mr. Cross..."
On the other side, Victor, who was about to leave the city of Lari for the Kingdom of Firris, stopped at the city gate.
A team of elite guards advanced towards the underground city with great momentum.
The onlookers nearby were discussing the whereabouts of the soldiers.
Victor learned from this that they were going to catch Miss.
After a simple calculation of the time, he found that these guards should be able to stop Miss before she entered the dungeon.
After all, it was Miss’s first time here, and he had to register his information at the association’s temporary office before he could enter the dungeon.
"No, if we leave it alone, the teacher will be in danger..."
After Victor made up his mind, he immediately turned around and returned to his shop.
He hid the package containing the drawings in the shop, locked the door, and ran towards the city gate.
Victor was alone, stopping all the guards who came his way.
The leading knight drew his sword, and all the soldiers followed closely behind.
"Who are you? How dare you intercept Wang Wei!"
Victor showed no fear and faced the knight's long blade head-on.
"Why are you arresting Mith?"
The knight was furious, "I don't need to explain this to you. If you don't get out of the way, you will bear the consequences!"
More and more people gathered around, and they looked at Victor as if he were a madman.
It's rare to find someone who dares to confront Wang Wei in the royal capital.
"This guy has lost his mind."
"Don't you know that these guards are going to capture the hero?"
"Mr. Brave? He's not my friend. Everyone knows that the brave man outside the dungeon is a fake. Why would he stand up for a fake?"
Victor took another step forward, closer to the knight's blade.
"I know why you want to arrest Miss." He said calmly.
The knight was puzzled, but did not interrupt him.
“As everyone knows, Hestice may be a member of the Higanbana guild. As the guild leader, Miss is suspected of protecting the witch.
But a suspect is still a suspect, and arresting him is pointless."
The knight's eyes widened, "What on earth do you want to say?"
Victor laughed and said, "Catching Mis won't do you any good, so why don't you catch someone who can?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and removed the mask on his face, revealing his true face.
"You should all be familiar with my face. No. 5 on the wanted list, bounty of 3,000 gold coins, Victor."
