The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

Phoebe said three months, but Ilsa didn't think that was true.

"I don't believe it either, but now I have no choice but to believe it."

Lisha wasn't actually very interested in Phoebe's secret.

What is more important to her is the safety of everyone in the team.

As we chatted, time passed by unknowingly.

The ones who came out to replace them were Meililu and Ailan.

Lisha and Ilsa replied that they were sleeping in the tent.

Ilsa fell asleep quickly.

Lisha couldn't sleep.

"Youze, what should I do?"

Lisha, who had just said a lot according to Yuze's words, seemed a little anxious.

Phoebe's abnormality is obvious, but according to You Ze, it cannot be stopped for the time being.

Therefore, Lisha, who was never good at thinking, was very anxious because she couldn't think of any good solution.

It's impossible to kill Phoebe just because of this abnormality.

"We can only try to find ways to deal with them."

You Ze didn’t have any better solution either.

After all, Phoebe is the client of the mission, and Youze can't let Lisha kill her.

"As long as you and Ilsa pay more attention."

"Ah."

Lisha nodded slightly.

With two people taking turns on duty, the night passed quickly.

In the early morning, Ilsa used the residual heat from the fire to heat up some broth and dry food. After everyone had eaten, they continued to move towards the second floor of the White Tower.

Phoebe was still lively and active on the road, and was curious about everything.

But she spoke much less than at the beginning.

In particular, he no longer asked repetitive questions about flowers, plants and trees, but instead focused on asking for information about various monsters.

Ilsa and Lisha stood on Phoebe's left and right to protect her.

The pioneer at the front of the team is now Angela.

As a battle mage, she is very suitable for this job.

Meililu was in the middle of the team as always, and so was Ailan.

In any adventuring party, the priest and mage will be protected by their teammates in the center of the team.

Lisha's team was no exception.

The entire adventure team headed towards their destination at a relatively slow but not too slow pace.

Chapter 223 Secret Talk

Panivea.

The capital of the ancient thousand-year-old empire of Patra.

From the day when the Patra Empire was founded until now, Panivia has stood firm.

The people of Patra also believed that this ancient city would continue to exist, just as it had for the past 1,500 years.

But Panivia hasn't been so quiet lately.

Because something happened that made the Patra royal family extremely angry.

The royal mausoleums were destroyed and even bodies were lost.

This incident made the current emperor Patra IX quite angry. He asked his most trusted general to bring a group of strong men to investigate personally and demanded that the murderer must be found.

But now a month has passed, and there is still no news about the murderer.

But just yesterday, Patra IX suddenly recalled all his men and suppressed the matter.

No one knew what Patra IX was thinking, but everyone knew that this was not the end, but rather a beginning.

Because Patra IX recalled the people in the open, it meant that he was going to mobilize his subordinates in the dark.

No one knows how many people will suffer as a result.

Outside the palace, an elderly man was waiting.

After a while, a guard came over and respectfully led the old man into the palace.

The journey was smooth and the old man arrived at the study where Patra IX was.

This is also the place where Patra IX spends the most time. He likes to work or think here.

Many times, Patra IX spent more time in his study than in his bedroom.

"His Majesty."

As soon as the old man came in, he noticed that Patra IX was not in good condition.

"Vaughn, you're here, sit down."

Patra IX was looking down at something, but when the old man came in, he immediately looked up and asked him to sit down. He didn't have the airs of an emperor at all.

"Your Majesty, why did you ask me to come here?"

The old man named Vaughan did not refuse and sat on the soft chair beside him.

The guards outside closed the door, and a wizard added a barrier to the room to prevent the conversation inside from leaking out.

"You really don't know?"

Patra IX looked at his old friend whom he had known for almost a hundred years.

"What do you mean?"

Vaughan said he really didn't know.

"It seems your son didn't tell you."

Patra IX just assumed that his old friend didn't know.

"Your Majesty, I am no longer the Prime Minister, so naturally there are many things I cannot know."

Vaughan shook his head slightly.

"Since that child is the chancellor of the empire, he naturally can't tell me everything like before."

"He advised me to give up the search for the murderer."

There was a hint of anger in Patra IX's words.

"That child doesn't know what happened back then."

Vaughn knew what Patra IX was talking about, and there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Patra Empire."

"I know, that's why I called back the people I sent out."

Patra IX's eyes were cold.

"You've killed enough people."

Vaughan dissuaded.

"not enough."

Patra IX tapped the table with the index finger of his right hand.

"I know you are angry, but many nobles have united."

Vaughan reminded Patra IX.

"So what? Can they shake the rule of the royal family?"

Patra IX spoke with disdain.

The Patra royal family is an ancient family that has been passed down for 1,500 years. It is itself the largest noble family in the Patra Empire. Which noble family can have a deeper foundation than the Patra royal family?

"No, but they will cause you trouble."

As a member of a ducal family, Vaughan knew very well what kind of existence the Patra royal family held in the Patra Empire.

Not surprisingly, in the Patra Empire, the royal family was above the gods.

The most devout faith of any Patra people is the Patra royal family, not the gods of the eight major churches.

None of the eight righteous gods had any objection to this.

"Then send them to the White Tower."

Patra IX spoke mercilessly.

"Let these guys make the most of their remaining energy in the White Tower."

"You are still the same as before."

Vaughan lamented.

He has been like this since the day I met him.

Even though his father didn't like him because of this, he never showed any restraint.

"I always do."

A rare smile appeared on Patra IX's serious face.

Vaughn's words reminded him of the days when they had adventured together.

But then his expression became even colder.

"Vaughn, I need someone I can absolutely trust."

"Your will is the direction in which I move forward."

Vaughn, who heard a hint of emotion in Patra IX's words, quickly lowered his head.

"I remember that your third granddaughter seemed to be a powerful swordsman."

Patra IX seemed to be asking Vaughan a question, but in fact he was giving orders.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Elena achieved the Golden Level last year, and she happened to be resting at home recently."

Vaughan replied respectfully.

"I need her to help me find someone."

Patra IX spoke in a low and majestic voice.

"This is her honor. As a knight of the empire, she will do her best."

Vaughan lowered his head even lower.

"Don't let anyone else know."

Patra IX's eyes fell on Vaughn.

"I see."

Vaughan naturally knew how important the matter was that made His Majesty give such an order.

"Take your things and go back to prepare."

Patra IX said as he took out a secret letter made of special monster skin and placed it on the table.

This secret letter can prevent the contents of the envelope from being spied on by various abilities and spells.

"Yes!"

Vaughn decisively picked up the secret letter and put it in his arms. After the wizard lifted the barrier, he left the study.
