Chapter 376 Split up

"Good day, Lady Lestara."

"Good day, Li En, thank you for your help."

"You are very polite, ma'am. Also, please do not worry about Sona's safety. She is not in any danger at the moment."

"Li En you..."

"Haha~! It's just some tricks, ma'am, just don't worry."

Li En smiled and winked at Lestara.

Lestara, who already knew from Sona that Li En could perform magic, felt relieved and his slightly frowned brows relaxed.

"Thank you, thank you, Li En!"

"Click~!"

Just as Lestara was expressing his gratitude, the door of the meeting hall not far away rang.

When he saw Xin Zhao coming out with a serious face, Jarvan was the first to greet him.

"Uncle, what arrangements does the emperor have?"

"Your Highness, His Majesty the Third has asked you to go with me to the Demon Seekers' headquarters to deliver a letter and bring back Miss Sona Bouvier."

"Ah? But...with Father around..."

Jarvan looked embarrassed.

"Uncle, can you let Li En and I go together, and you stay to protect our father's safety?"

"this..."

"In that case, without further ado, let's set off."

Li En interrupted the two people who were in a dilemma, nodded to Lestara, gave Jarvan a look, and then took the initiative to walk out.

Jarvan scratched his chin and followed.

Seeing this, Zhao Xin carefully put the envelope into his arms and strode away.

...

"Click~!"

The car door closed, and Li En and the other two sat on the sofa on one side.

"Li En, why are you..."

“Jia Wen, I know you are all worried about the safety of His Majesty the Third.

Steward Zhao Xin, I want to confirm with you that His Majesty the Third said that Jarvan would accompany you to the Manhunt Headquarters, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"In that case, you are the one delivering the letter."

"Correct."

Seeing Zhao Xin nod, Li En turned to look at Jarvan.

"Since I'm just accompanying you, Jarvan, as your good brother, it shouldn't be a big problem for me to go for you, right?

After all, it's just an escort, isn't it? "

"Uh... Of course it's no problem, Li En, you are stronger than me, it will be safer if you accompany me.

Don't you think so, uncle?"

Facing Jarvan's gaze, Zhao Xin nodded slowly.

The corner of Jiawen's mouth raised, and then he frowned again.

"No, since you've already thought about it, Li En, why didn't you say it just now?"

“Just like His Majesty the Third said, this matter is full of weirdness.

His Majesty has specially transferred you and Chief Steward Zhao Xin out. He must have a purpose, and we cannot disrupt it, so we must leave under the witness of the guards."

"Leen, you mean..."

As the personal guard and old friend of the III, Zhao Xin reacted immediately.

"Butler Zhao Xin, this is just a guess. You don't have to be too nervous."

"oh, I understand now."

"Anyway, Jarvan, change your clothes and return to Dawn's Bastion.

Given your familiarity with the fortress, is that enough to keep you out of everyone's sight?"

"Don't worry, Li En. I grew up there!"

"Well, remember when Garen and I were together, the three of us were discussing the art of war?"

"You mean..."

"If there is a problem, jump out. If there is nothing wrong, hide well. This way, His Majesty the Third will not find a reason to punish you."

"Hehe~! Li En, you are indeed a good brother. You really care about me!"

"Well, let's change out of this royal dress."

Zhao Xin silently watched the two of them make up their minds. He was also happy to see Jarvan return to III.

You should know that Jarvan's marksmanship was taught by Xin Zhao himself, and his strength can make Xin Zhao feel at ease.

They are strong enough and they are father and son. Is there any guard that can make Zhao Xin feel more at ease than this?

Obviously not!

"Hehe~! Uncle, look..."

"Your Highness, I'm just a guard delivering a message. I heard nothing and saw nothing!"

Facing the gazes of Jarvan and Li En, Zhao Xin spoke calmly.

...

"Ta da~! Ta da~!"

The carriage was speeding along the road, and slowed down slightly when entering a bend. A black shadow flashed by and disappeared into the grass beside the road.

...

In the Demon Seeker Tribunal, the judge sitting in the main seat looked down at Sona below.

"Sona Bouvier, do you confess to the fact that you are 'infected with the devil'?"

"..."

Sona pursed her rosy lips slightly, and a hint of annoyance flashed across her lake-blue eyes.

These demon hunters knew that she couldn't speak, yet they still asked her questions. Isn't this bullying?

If she didn't want to cause trouble for the Bouvier family, Sona really wanted to summon 'Aihua' and make these guys dance until they were exhausted.

At this time, the demon hunter team members stood up.

"My lord, the time is up, the prisoner has acquiesced!"

"Well, in that case, take him into custody and prepare to transfer him to the 'Dark Prison' for destruction!"

"Boom~!"

The presiding judge slammed the gavel and sentenced Sona's fate.

"Click~!"

Sona was handcuffed with the magic-forbidden stone shackles. Two female demon hunters, one on each side, carried the obviously weakened Sona out of the courtroom.

...

"Wow~!"

In the deepest cell of the Demon Hunter's 'Dark Prison', the sound of chains could be heard in the pitch-black dungeon.

"Ahhhh~!!!"

Silas roared angrily.

Twenty days, a full twenty days!

Since giving him the book that day, Laxana Mianwei, the eldest daughter of the Mianwei family, has not appeared for twenty days.

Before, the longest interval was only three days.

Since the 'Dark Prison' allowed Laxana to come and go freely, it was impossible for them to suddenly not allow her to come in.

The most likely reason why Laxana didn't come was that she simply didn't want to see him again.

"Haha~! No wonder you brought so many books for me. Is this the prelude to our eternal farewell?"

There was a mocking smile on his lips, and Silas' eyes were cold.

Originally, he still had a little gratitude towards Laxana in his heart. After all, she did bring him news from the outside world and various books.

But now, this behavior of immediately severing ties with the organization after solving his own problems made Silas recall the feeling of being ruthlessly abandoned by the Demon Hunter Organization.

"As expected... these Demacia nobles... are all equally hypocritical!"

“Crack! Crack!”

The chains of the magic-forbidden stone tightened, and a raging rage burned in Silas' heart.

'Just wait, you high and mighty ones, no one will escape the reckoning!'

“Boom~!”

Silas raised his head sharply as he heard the sound of a heavy cell door rising overhead.

'Who is it!? Laxana? Or...'

“Click! Click!”

The sound of scales colliding rang out, shattering Silas's expectations.

A demon hunter captain came to Silas with four fully armored soldiers.

"Congratulations, Silas. You don't have to stay in this dark cell anymore!"

"..."
