Chapter Thirty-ninth Imperial Capital Turmoil
Arthur and Joan rushed out of the church of Light, and the wisest choice was naturally to fly away, but Joan unexpectedly chose to return to Alantis.
Arthur knew that Joan had to go back when he took the risk, so he chose to take the risk with him without hesitation.
After saying goodbye to Sheriel, they plunged northwest. There was an ordinary town fifteen miles away. The Clay family had a secret short-distance teleportation magic array in the town.
They want to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible, and the most dangerous place at this time may be the safest place.
When Arthur and his friends arrived at the town, the secluded town figures were extremely busy in and out, and there was no secret stronghold at all.
At this time, the presided over the town was McKinn's aunt Adele. She moved here as soon as she escaped from the farm.
The magic circle located underground in a grocery store was constantly flashing. Every time it flashed, someone came out of the magic circle, and then quickly left the place under the arrangement of Adele. The important figures of the Clay family responded immediately after receiving the news. They went out of the city one after another and fled to the secret strongholds distributed in the family. This place was already used by the family as a transit place, and will be abandoned immediately after the transfer is completed.
Adele was very happy to see McKin. She was worried that McKin would be arrested by people from the church or the city guards.
When McGinn proposed to use the family's magic array to return to the imperial capital, Adele flatly refused, "You guys are crazy. The church and the city guards are here this time. The elders in the family are now running out of the city. Let's avoid the limelight this time. Are you going back to the city to die now?"
No matter how McKind tried to fight Adele, he refused to agree, and in the end he had to show up in person.
Adele naturally knew His Eleventh Highness, and Adele, who was extremely smart, immediately reacted, "Your Highness, is the church and the city guard coming to you this time?"
Joan neither admitted nor denied it, but only asked in a low voice: "Please help from the girl, I have a reason to go back."
Adele sighed lightly, "The battle between your imperial family is too far from us little people who make a living underground, but as long as we are involved in a little bit of contact with you, we may never be able to get rid of it. Since McGinn chose to be friends with you, our Clay family will not be able to stay out of the matter. The losses of our three families this time are really great. If one day your Highness can return to Alantis openly, please don't forget this favor?"
Qiong gave a solemn gift, and another promise was added to his shoulders.
It was almost dawn when Joan and Arthur returned to the imperial capital. The two did not dare to stay where they were and hid back to the underground secret room on Hotel Street as soon as possible.
McKinn acted separately from the two. He wanted to use the daytime to finalize all the enchanting equipment and food he had purchased before so that Arthur and the others could be lucky at any time.
And the imperial capital is destined to be uneasy during the day...
......
The turmoil in the imperial capital began in the early morning.
Cavalry teams left the city one after another, and saw that the direction of the cavalry marching was all the north of the city.
Samold was extremely embarrassed this time. In a big raid, let alone catching Arthur and others, even the little shrimps participating in the auction did not catch a few.
Samold finally underestimated Arthur, and what he didn't expect was that the church suddenly intervened. Although many people who participated in this underground auction were arrested, most of them fell into the hands of the Inquisition. The city guards asked for people from the church, so don't even think about it!
Samold could not end the scene, and in anger, he mobilized tens of thousands of city guard cavalry to conduct a carpet-style search.
The imperial capital also did not stop. The guards, who were responsible for daily patrols and guards, rushed into many shops and searched the shops. These were the open businesses of the three underground forces, and they were not spared, just like the Manulife Grocery Store in charge of McKin.
These three companies have been in the imperial capital for many years and responded on the night of the incident. Important personnel and sensitive items were transferred overnight. Those who dared to put them on the surface were legal businesses and small people who deliberately left them to the city guards to save face.
The City Guards finally found some clues, such as Arthur and his team went to the city with makeup on the sun. The grocery store was forced to admit it under the threat of the City Guards, and some people even reported seeing Arthur on the hotel street.
Although the Inquisition did not capture the whole city as vigorously as the city guards, it also mobilized all forces inside and outside the city. Moreover, Fast knew Arthur far more than Samold, and he knew that Arthur might not have left the imperial capital, because Arthur would never come back to run back just for an underground auction.
The Inquisition placed most of its power in the city, and his eyes hidden in the dark stared at every corner of the imperial capital, waiting for Arthur and the others to emerge.
Danger is getting closer and closer to Arthur and the others.
......
Imperial Palace, Fengluan Pavilion.
There was a layer of frost on the emperor and empress's face. All the close palace maids and eunuchs hid far away, for fear that one would accidentally cause a disaster.
"How did he die?"
"The news sent back on the scene was frozen to death by ice magic." The one who bent in front of the emperor and empress replied was Kasper, the commander of the Dragon Scale Guard.
Arthur never expected that the man they killed was the emperor and empress.
"What about his stuff?"
"When I found it, there was only one corpse, and there were no obvious signs of fighting nearby. When I found out, the space ring on his body was gone."
The emperor and empress unconsciously rubbed their eyebrows, "This useless waste, one million gold coins are small, but it is not easy to get him to take a picture of that dragon egg! Is there any clue to whom I killed?"
"The neighborhood was very chaotic that night. In addition to the various underworld figures participating in the auction, there were also the arrested city guards and the church's referees. The preliminary judgment was more like being blackmailed. If it were done by the city guards or the referees, they would never have just thrown away a body."
"It's just an ordinary underground auction. How could the city guards and the church suddenly appear and round up? The underground forces that organized the auction are too unbearable, right?"
"I am also trying to report this to you. The inside of our church should send a secret report back. The targets of the church's arrest are Arthur and Joan. As for the city guards, Summerd doesn't know who the person he was arresting, just to avenge his unsatisfactory son!"
The emperor and the empress were obviously stunned, "Qiong actually dares to come back?"
"We received the information because of this incident. The information that came from the church should not be wrong."
