At noon, Shino was invited by the lord to have lunch as usual.

Unlike usual, the lord talked about his younger brother to Hino.

He seems to be recalling the growth process of the two brothers, but in fact he is constantly revealing to Hino how much he has sacrificed to his younger brother, and he has offered to step down as the lord in six years, so he can rest assured The Busoru Peninsula was handed over to his younger brother for protection.

Hino didn't want to understand the meaning of what he said, but kept catering to and praising the lord as a good brother.

After lunch, she went back to her bedroom and thought about it carefully, Sinodun was horrified.

The lord may have discovered his brother's secret plan to assassinate him, and he knew that his brother was very close to the elf Hino. He may have two intentions in saying this to Hino.

First, he wanted to test whether Xinuo knew about his brother's conspiracy.

Second, he wanted Xinuo to understand that he trusted and cared for his younger brother so much, but he would soon be betrayed by his younger brother, and he had already planned a countermeasure. When the time came to kill his younger brother, Xinuo should also support him.

No matter what the purpose is, the lord should have prepared a counter-killing plan, and the lord's younger brother may die at any time.

At this moment, Hino didn't want the lord's younger brother to fail in the assassination, because Andre said that Ilsa was currently blocked from the main city by the barrier.

Since Ilsa was on the island, Hino didn't need to worry about the danger of dealing with a group of mixed nobles alone.

As long as the lord dies, the curse mark on Hino's body will dissipate, and he can escape in the chaos. Ilsa can also immediately break into the main city that has lost the lord's enchantment under Andre's induction, and he will soon find him. he.

Therefore, he hoped that the assassination of the lord's younger brother would be successful, so he had to find a way to report a letter.

But the lord said these words to him, maybe he wanted to see if he would report to his younger brother, so as to test which side Hino was on.

The situation has reached the most dangerous moment, but the danger also comes with great opportunities, and a choice must be made between the lord and the lord's younger brother.

For Hino, the best choice is to inform the lord's younger brother, but the lord is obviously already spying on him, so doing so may lead to his own destruction.

Worried, waiting for night to fall again, and Andre arrived as scheduled.

Hino immediately told the whole story about the current situation. After all, Andre understands the situation in the palace better, so maybe there will be a unique solution.

Andre knew the situation was dangerous as soon as he heard it. He had followed the lord for more than ten years, and he knew that this sinister man had planted eyes and ears around his younger brother and even other nobles. The plot of the lord's younger brother must have been leaked long ago.

The assassination cannot be successful, but the lord will take advantage of his younger brother's betrayal to eradicate the last brother, and then sit firmly on the lord's position.

Andre's suggestion to Shino is: Unless the three noble families support and act together, the lord's younger brother will undoubtedly die.

Out of concern, Hino asked Andre: "In your heart, is the lord still your father?"

Andre thought for a while, then replied in a low voice: "He is a devil, this island is hell, I don't have a father in my heart, and my mother has long since passed away."

Hino thought for a long time, and decided to carry out a somewhat risky plan——

"I will try to find out when the assassination of the lord's younger brother will start, and then tell you, please go outside the city and tell Ilsa the time, and give him a map of the main city, so that he will start the assassination within a quarter of an hour Afterwards, ignoring the barrier, broke into the main city, and came to join me in the palace while the lord had no time to avatar."

Andre stared at Hino in shock, before answering after a long while: "It's too dangerous, the lord has been prepared, if he suppresses his younger brother in two or three hours, then turns around and comes back to deal with you, Ilsa won't be able to save him in time." you."

Hino retorted: "I have seen the map of the main city. Once Ilsa breaks in, it will take less than half an hour to find me."

Andre calmed down a little bit, but still worried: "The invasion of the dragon clan and the betrayal of my brother, the lord will not be confused about which is more dangerous. He may deal with you first, or even join forces with my brother to deal with you."

Hino shook his head resolutely: "Once the turmoil starts, he can't control everything. The trust between him and his younger brother is not enough to make his younger brother believe anything he said, and it is even more impossible for him to hold back after the assassination operation begins." Join forces with him."

"The lord may also allocate part of his troops to deal with you."

Hino laughed lightly: "You underestimate me too, Andre, don't you remember how I imprisoned you for the first time when we met? If it was just soldiers with ordinary strength, I wouldn't be able to kill them, It can also prevent them from approaching me for a period of time. I have figured out the abilities of these nobles in the palace these days. The only thing I am afraid of is the lord. He seems to be able to hide himself, and he can also make other people and things invisible. If I If you can’t see him, you can’t deal with him.”

"It's not invisibility." Andre immediately explained to him: "You can understand it as a kind of blindfold witchcraft. People in his blindfolded enchantment can only see what he lets you see, and what you see can't be seen." It may not be true, but the illusion induced by him."

"Just like when you first met me?" Hino asked, "You also know that kind of spell?"

"I won't now," Andre replied: "At that time, I had his blood contract on me, and he could manipulate you through me as a medium."

Hino asked anxiously: "Why do you say it won't happen now? Did you have that kind of power before? Tell me!"

"Yes." Andre finally confessed: "I used to be able to do those things, but the power is not as strong as that of the lord, but I can't now, and I don't want to become a demon like him, I just want to be a free An ordinary person at ease."

Hino stared at him with a frown, and asked in a low voice: "Are you not capable, or do you not want to? Talent cannot disappear in thin air. Andre, there is no distinction between good and evil in power itself. You have the same power as that devil. It doesn't mean you are a devil, you can use this power to defeat the devil."

"I understand." Andre lowered his head in despair: "But I really can't do it anymore. I have tried thousands of times over the years, and I have always wanted to escape his clutches, but I can't."

"Because you hate the lord, you hate the same power as him. This will make you reject your own body and let your talent fall asleep." Hino stepped forward and stared at him seriously: "I had this experience before, when I I also feel that my talent is evil, and I have been trying to control and even fight against it. Then one day, someone ordered me to assassinate... an innocent child. From the moment I tried to kill that child, my talent suddenly disappeared completely , the power is all exhausted and cannot be recovered, no matter how hard I try, it is useless. But after a long time, I found that every time I was in a critical situation, when I wanted to protect that child instead of hurting it, my power would increase wildly. Ender Lie, your talent knows your true heart, talent itself has no distinction between good and evil, don't reject and suppress it, when you use it to protect the one you love, it will show its true strength."

The next day, Hino immediately tried to create a coincidence to meet the lord's younger brother, and asked him to go to the Colosseum as an excuse to test which day he was "busy" these days, but the results he got were very vague. Every day is obviously preparing for the assassination, and there is no time any day.

Andre said that there are lord's ghosts around the nobles, so Hino prepared a note in advance, shook hands with the lord's younger brother when saying goodbye, and secretly stuffed the note into his palm.

The content of the note is roughly that Hino was disappointed with the lord, praised the lord's brother for his demeanor and courage, and made it clear that he hoped that the lord's younger brother would become the new lord. If necessary, Hino could be his internal support. Tell anyone about this.

Hino couldn't directly tell the lord's younger brother that he knew about the assassination plan, otherwise the younger brother would suspect that he was a spy sent by the lord, and could only wait for the lord's younger brother to ask him to cooperate.

The lord's younger brother is a quick-tempered one. He was overjoyed when he received Xinuo's defection letter. He immediately sent someone to secretly meet with Xinuo and told him his assassination plan in four days' time.

That night, Xino told Andre the exact time of the assassination plan, and Andre immediately left the city to inform Ilsa of Xi Nuo's plan.

After everything was ready, Andre did not stay by Ilsa's side, but set off alone and returned to the palace again, secretly protecting Hino.

The calm before the storm made the entire palace lifeless.

This day finally came. The inner ghost in the palace watched the lord drink the cup of secretly poisoned tea with his own eyes, and immediately notified the dozens of killers lurking outside the palace to take action.

The killers broke the necks of several servants silently, changed into the clothes of the servants, and approached the lord's bedroom step by step...

The final duel between the lord brothers started as scheduled, and Xino stayed quietly in the bedroom, praying that the turmoil would last longer and that the lord would not think of him.

A quarter of an hour later, Shino swallowed nervously, clenching his fists unconsciously.

Ilsa should have broken into the barrier.

The faint shouts of killing continued, as long as half an hour passed, the little fat dragon would appear in front of him, and the nightmare would be over.

Shino sat on the edge of the bed, closed his eyes, and waited calmly.

With a loud bang, the door was suddenly cracked open.

Hino stood up abruptly and was about to take precautions, but saw Andre stumbled in from the door and fell to the ground.

"What's wrong with you!" Xino hurriedly stepped forward and knelt beside him on one knee, looking for where his injury was.

"I'm poisoned." Andre held Shino's hand with difficulty, and said in a trembling voice, "Help me..."

"Where is the antidote?!" Hino took out the divine stone, "Let me try first..."

"It's too late!" Andre begged painfully: "You have to say a prayer to me, here..."

Hino reached out and snatched the parchment he took out from his arms, and was just about to check it when he suddenly felt his wrist being pinched.

"It's blinding spells! Shino! Wake up!" The real Andre roared, and a strange force flowed from his palm, saving Shino from the illusion.

Hino came back to his senses, lowered his head in shock, and found that "Andre" lying on the ground was actually the blood contract maid beside the lord, who had been knocked out by the real Andre at this moment.

"The lord has discovered that the dragon clan has invaded!" Andre pulled Hino to stand up: "He wants to use hallucinations to lure you to recite the oath to form a bond with him, we have to get out of here! Quick!"
