The water gate of the flowing garden creaked open above their heads, like a huge guillotine rising above, falling down at any time, ruthlessly cutting the long boat into two pieces. A guard whispered the flag and let them pass. The boatman pushed the flat and straight long artemisia hard, and the long boat sailed out of the castle along the water flow, and shuttled through the quiet waterway in the morning like a string arrow. It did not gradually slow down until it approached the market, and finally it was like a turtle climbing.

The alchemist sat at the bow of the ship without saying a word. He was still in fear.

The flying knife thrown by the juggler hit the apple in his mouth accurately, and the chill emitted from the blade froze his body and his brain. He could hardly think. He instinctively forced himself to squeeze out a smile to the audience.

"It's done well, perfect." The killer pretended to be a juggler patted him with no dust on his clothes, slowly untied the strips that tied his hands and feet, and whispered in his ear, "Please keep your smile, don't be seen by others."

"What do you want?" He felt his voice look like rough and uneven sandstone, dry as if it was about to burst.

"I admire your calmness." There was no admiration in the killer's words. "I thought you would scream like a woman. Then I would have to violate the employer's orders."

He would kill me without hesitation. The alchemist stared at the juggler's hand that untied the knot and did not dare to move. This hand would definitely break his neck when he opened his mouth to help. Leo took a deep breath, told himself not to be impulsive, and forced himself to calm down. He said with difficulty, "Who is your employer?"

"There are rules for the industry. You know the taboos of doing my business. The killer won't reveal a word."

"You did this to warn me?"

"Of course, what else can it be for?" The juggler tilted his head and smiled innocently, "Get money to do things. Do as much as you get. Fifty gold ships are only enough to intimidate and threaten. Now the world is not good, and the rewards of killers are getting less and less. Even I have to fall into doing some scammers and thieves to make ends meet."

His sarcasm failed to reduce the fear in the alchemist's heart by half. "What, your employer, should I warn me? In his opinion, what can and cannot do it?"

"Don't stumble, I heard that alchemists are particularly good at this." The killer suddenly said seriously, and Li Ou couldn't help but shivered. Then he changed into a cynical smile and squinted his eyes. "My employer said, 'Tell the alchemist, don't put his paws into the rat's nest like a nosy dog. This is not Ayinblo, let him stay honestly, keep his hands and the women around him. If you can't even do this little thing, I will definitely not be able to control my sword.'" The killer shrugged with a smile, "It's just that simple thing...."

It's so simple, and it's necessary to get into the palace? As for meddling in other people's business... If things can be done simply, who would be willing to do something thankless and bad errands?

"For me, it's more troublesome to pass a letter than to pretend to be a juggler." The killer sighed. "I have to work hard to fake the handwriting to prevent the witchcraft tracking." He untied the last strip of cloth, took a step back and took off his hat to pay tribute to him, and then he turned around and said to him, "Okay, Mr. Jazz, pay tribute to the prince. You can go back."

He returned to the seat in a daze, and his companions' teasing was soon replaced by surprise and anger. Rosie was about to take off on the spot, but Lu Yuewu stopped her. The lively and joyful banquet was indeed not a good place to solve the problem. Their eyes were always with the juggler. However, when the circus left the venue, the female swordsman and the mage who went to search for had nothing. The killer had quietly fled away, while the real juggler was at a loss to accept the congratulations from his companions.

He was slippery like a loach. Li Ou stared at the river surface that stirred the water and thought that he could disguise himself as anyone. Therefore, when the long boat was passing through the wide river, he always looked around with caution, fearing that the killer's smiling face would appear in front of him again without warning.

"Are you still worried?" Lu Yuewu sat down beside him and hugged her knees.

He couldn't ignore the threat he was coming. "Yes, I always felt like he was hiding in the dark, staring at us all the time." Leo said while looking around. "He is even more difficult than Sister Shadow."

"The mouse always reveals its tail." said the female swordsman, "Defense, detour, wait. Wait for the opponent to make a mistake, and then it is the time for us to fight back. Nothing can be accomplished overnight."

"I know. But 'If you only have a thousand days to be a thief, how can you defend against a thief for a thousand days?'" the alchemist sighed, "I'm not afraid of stealing, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it." He turned his head and looked at the female swordsman, "What's more, we're going to face so dangerous... how can we defend against the short sword stabbed from behind?"

"You really plan to do that?" Lu Yuewu frowned, "It's too dangerous, you're likely to die."

"I can't think of a better way." Leo looked around. The long boat sailed into the river of the spacious and small boats and accelerated the speed. The surrounding scenery rushed past. The bachelor's wife held her chin with her right hand and looked ahead. Rosie was yawning on the side. Mr. Ansel, a magic consultant who followed the prince's order, sat far away and had no communication with them. No one could hear his conversation. "If the bard found something accurate, then we would be safe."

"What if it's wrong?" Lu Yuewu was still worried.

The alchemist was silent. The female swordsman's worries were directly pointing to the core of the problem.

They were like fish struggling hard in the fishing net, swimming desperately, and finally rolling in the net in vain. But he still wanted to jump out of the water and escape from the constraints of the fishing net. But there was only one last breath of breath left on the top, bottom, left and right, either waiting to die on the spot or the fish broke into the net.

"Don't forget, someone is staring at our every move. Although he doesn't know what he intends, if he really wants to stop us, then he can release false news and lure us to take the bait." Lu Yuewu reminded him again, "We are in the light, he is in the dark. We cannot believe the one-sided words of the minstrel. What if he is also bribed?"

She became more cautious. She would never talk about this in the past. Is this the sequelae of yesterday? He didn't know. The only thing he knew was that each of them was more careful than before. The sword was inseparable.

"That can only prove that we have misjudged people. Either the bard's acting skills are too good, or our eyes are all blind." Leo put his hand into the water, and his fingertips squirted the water. "Don't worry, Rosie promised that nothing he said was not a lie." Although he said this, he swears, he had a ridiculous suspicion in his heart: what if the chance encounter on the pirate ship was deliberately arranged at the beginning? That's impossible. He denied this possibility. If anyone really did so step by step, carefully planned and made plans, then he might as well do nothing and just surrender and be at a disadvantage.

"Li Ou, you once told me that magic can be fake and misleading spells." Lu Yuewu changed her position. She knelt on the boat board with a long sword on her knees. She looked at the alchemist, "This is not the desert of magic that people think of, otherwise there would be no curse breeding, and monsters exist. The survivor did not need magic to heal..."

"...The other party does not regard magic as a stubborn stone." The alchemist sighed, "I understand. Otherwise, he would not have hired a killer who uses spells to deceive others. Charm and illusion are the best things for the killer."

"Since that's the case, the Night Witch may also be the trap he set." They inevitably have such associations. "The boy may also be the bait he deliberately put in the trap."

She frowned uneasyly. Li Ou couldn't help but stretch out her hand to gently stroke her eyebrows, trying to smooth it out. This time the female swordsman did not hide. She bravely met Li Ou's gaze. There was a slight rippling in her eyes.

"A trap that has been set up for seven years is waiting for us to come? This is a bit incredible." Lu Yuewu opened his mouth, and Li Ou stopped her with his eyes. "According to your speculation, maybe he is using the waste. This is entirely possible. But, Yuewu, there is no turning back arrow. We have no choice."

The female swordsman grabbed the alchemist's hand, held it in her palm, and placed it on her knees. "Why?" she asked.

"If we do nothing, we just repent, we will slap the prince in public." Li Ou sighed helplessly, "Do you know? Yuewu. The kings rarely tolerate other people's rejection, and even the kind-hearted Prince Oberon will not tolerate others' offense. As long as they interrupt their speech or speak rudely, our lives will be ruined under the wheel. What's more, they are going to go back on their word."

The female swordsman let go of his hand and pressed the hilt tightly. She lowered her eyes, was silent for a moment before speaking quietly, "The Council has given us a big problem."

"Yes, who has made the current parliament full of greedy vampires and bloated weevils?" he responded with a wry smile, "Was there a chirping dove sent? I would rather he be a crow or sparrow that can be seen everywhere."

"Sir, Miss. Your sweet words are over." Rosie suddenly stood behind them and said in a sarcastic manner. Miss Bachelor hid aside and covered her mouth and smiled secretly.

Changzhou stopped in front of a two-story stone house, and the mossy stone steps stretched into the water. Baron Alanbert stood at the door to greet them. His face looked like he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "Happy, welcome you." He said dryly.

He actually didn't welcome them at all, and it was more like driving a duck to put it on the shelves, and was forced to do so. Leo could understand this. He handed over the life of his own son to strangers, and what they used was magic that he hated and hated and never believed in. No one would be nervous and embarrassed. Even if he spoke up now, it was natural. But with the prince's magic consultant, he and his wife should accept it and acquiesce to their behavior.
