In the second half of the night, the werewolf came back, and came back alone, standing in the room in shame.

Jose frowned slightly. He really didn't expect that the legendary thief would fail if he captured a cult.

"What's going on?"

Church's Heart-Stirring Depressed His Head: "Master Lord, there is a magical restriction on that man. As soon as I grabbed him, the restriction was triggered, and the target directly turned into a pool of blood."

Jose frowned even deeper: "Magic prohibition?!"

Among Tedanor's numerous control methods, the magic restriction is definitely worth taking out separately to establish a subject.

Magical bans are similar to the Dragon Clan's family contract. Once family members violate certain regulations, they will trigger corresponding punishments. No one can ask the secret from the person restricted by magical bans, because before they can say it, the thoughts are still brewing in their minds, people will die.

Especially those diehards who put life and death aside, they take the initiative to trigger the ban as soon as they are captured. No matter how strong the enemy is, they will not get any useful information, just like the situation encountered by a zombie thief.

"Since you have been banned from magic, it's not your fault," Jose said comforting the gnoll and waved his hand to signal the gnoll to leave.

The gnoll retreated and gently closed the door.

There was only Jose in the dark room, and he was alone in the room, thinking about Beckkitts Joyce.

"Beckkits Joyce was actually under a magic ban, which shows that he has a certain status within the [Psychic Sect] and knows some secrets, otherwise there is no need to impose a magic ban on him."

"It's a big fish worth chasing."

“But where to check it?”

"No one can do it without any leakage. Start with people around Beckkitts Joyce," Jose recalled the information sent by [Red Dagger], which contained a network map of Beckkitts' relationship.

Among the people who are closely connected with Beckkitts Joyce, the doubtful people can be roughly divided into two categories: one is the people around him, and the other is the Dana royal family.

His thoughts became active: "[Wind Speech Alliance] suspected that the top leaders of the human race provided cover for the [Psychic Sect]. Could it be the Dana royal family?"

Jose frowned slightly and looked at the night sky outside the window. The night sky was without moon or stars. The endless darkness enveloped the earth and the sky, as if a black cloth covered people, making people breathless.

"Everything related to Beckkits Joyce must be investigated. It is only important to investigate the Dana royal family. It is better not to act rashly to avoid alarming the enemy."

As soon as he thought of this, Jose suddenly looked up: "Not good!"

"The magical prohibition on Beckkits Joyce was triggered, and the enemy realized that he was exposed and would inevitably take action and destroy evidence."

He quickly contacted [Red Dagger] and ordered [Red Dagger] to send someone to Beckkitts Joyce's house.

Just as dawn came, [Red Dagger], news came that several people related to Beckkitts Joyce were silenced, and fresh ashes were found in the fireplaces of the deceased's homes.

“…this is the case, the clues are broken.”

Jose said to the four legendary powerful men gathered: "The remaining suspicious targets are the only royal children who have contact with Beckkitts Joyce."

"Master Lord, do we want to interrogate their royal family in the royal city of a country?" Gus Panshui exaggeratedly.

"Hmph! What's wrong with interrogating the royal children? Could they still dare to take action? Dana Kingdom can block the Imperial Hoof?!"

The legendary Wild Boarman warrior - Berick Shiya doesn't care: "If you don't obey, you will destroy them, and you will become kings if you change them!"

Edith Wind-Cutter reminded: "The Kingdom of Dana is indeed not a match for the Empire, but in other people's territory, it is best to be low-key. Don't forget that the Kingdom of Dana has a magic tower."

The Wild Boar frowned and said no more. As the Elf Ranger said, although the country of Dana Kingdom is small and weak, it also has three legendary guardians. With the help of the power of the magic tower, the three legendary guardians can indeed pose a life threat to everyone.

Afterwards, even if the empire avenges everyone and destroys the Dana Kingdom, it has nothing to do with everyone.

Of course, if everyone knew the true identity of the dragon man, they would not think so.

"We have to think of a way..."

“…”

Jose decided to terminate the discussion among the four: "Anyway, the Dana royal family is suspected of colluding with the [Psychic Sect], and it must be checked, just to think of an explanation they can accept."

………………………………

A day later, the heart of the Dana Kingdom.

On the plain of a flat horse, a majestic city was like a beast lying on the ground. The city wall was towering, and there was an arrow tower every distance, ensuring that the arrow tower could shoot to every corner of the city wall, with soldiers and armor and strict garrisons.

This city is the capital of Dana Kingdom - Winter Castle.

The Winter Castle has a history of more than a thousand years since its establishment. It has experienced many war baptisms but has never fallen. Even though it has become an isolated city in the barbaric disasters sweeping across the north, the Winter Castle has also overcome difficulties under the leadership of the king.

Over time, Winter Castle became the spiritual pillar of the Dana people.

It was morning, and the sun had climbed a small part of the east sky.

The gate of the Winter Castle was crowded with people.

Some of the people at the gate of the city were those who wanted to enter the city, including vegetable vendors who went to the city to make a living, the citizens of the capital, and the adventurers who traveled here.

The other part of the people were all wearing gorgeous clothes, with a large number of guards standing behind them, and there were beautiful maids holding parasols beside them. There were more than one such person. They stood in an unrighteous place on the edge of the city wall, looking into the distance from time to time, as if waiting for something.

"So many big men, foreign ministers, wealth ministers..., my god, even His Highness is here!" A young man who entered the city recognized everyone's identities and was shocked.

Shocked and curious, he grabbed the old man selling vegetables in front of him: "Old man, why are these big men all outside the city?"

The vegetable seller was a little impatient. He turned around and saw the silver coins in the young man's hand. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and put them away: "Young master, you have just returned to the winter castle."

"That's right? I went to the country estate for a month and I only came back today."

"No wonder you don't know," the old man selling vegetables didn't keep it in a silence: "It has been spread in the city for several days. The mission of the Forse Empire is coming to our winter castle. Now, even His Highness the Great Prince is greeting outside the city."

"So that's it," the young man showed a sudden look.

The Fuse Empire was the undisputed overlord of the North, and all the northern countries had to rely on their own. Now that the emissary of the Empire has arrived, it is normal for Prince Dana to lead the people out of the city to welcome him.

"Huh? The Fuse Empire is so good. Why are you sending envoys to our country?"

"I don't know this...."

After a pause, the old man selling vegetables suddenly remembered something and said, "It's not a problem, right? I once heard from my father that decades ago, His Majesty the former kingdom had a holiday with the King of the Fuse Empire."

"Yeah..." the young man perfunctorily.

As a nobleman, he has much more knowledge than the old man who sells vegetables. He once saw detailed records of the war in his family's collection. That battle was not as simple as celebrating the festival.

Of course, there is no need to tell these to the old man selling vegetables.

Suddenly, the nobles of Dana who were welcoming the delegation of the Fuse Empire moved, approached the city gate, and walked towards the suspension bridge.

The people who lined up to enter the city made way and started to discuss in a low voice.

"The Forse Empire Mission is here."

A civilian in Mai looked back and saw nothing: "Huh? Where is the Fuse Empire Mission? Why didn't I see it?"

"You're stupid."

The companion continued, "Your Highness the Great Prince has moved, and the imperial mission must have come."

The Mai civilian was dissatisfied: "Why are you so sure? Maybe His Highness, his highness, was tired of staying in the same place and wanted to move in a place."

The companion looked disgusted: "Idiot, there is a master of the master around His Highness the Great Prince. It must be the master of the wizard who saw the empire mission with magic. Then he notified His Highness the Great Prince to be prepared. If you don't believe it, you can wait and see."

After more than ten minutes, a team appeared at the end of the road, and the flag raised by the team was the Fire Dragon Ring Flag of the Forse Empire.

"Here is here! Here..." the civilians discussed.

Another Dana Royal soldiers came out to maintain order, clear the roads, and lay a red carpet on the roads, which led directly to the Dana Royal Palace from the city gate.

On the other hand, the ministers of the Dana Kingdom, who were responsible for welcoming the Imperial Mission, were dressed under the leadership of the Great Prince Dana, and put their gorgeous dresses into pieces without any wrinkles. The lines of the emissary of the Imperial Mission were welcomed.

More than ten years ago, the Kingdom of Forse planned to make up old accounts and support the Odyssey Kingdom to suppress the Kingdom of Dana, but fortunately, the king of the Kingdom of Dana realized something was wrong and sent envoys to surrender to the empire in time and compensated a lot of money.

After the imperial emperor was concerned about the bad influence of the Odyssey Kingdom, the kingdom of Odyssey was the dominant one in the north. In addition, the kingdom of Dana surrendered and paid a large amount of wealth, and issued a joint statement declaring that the Dana Kingdom on the mainland became a vassal state of the Fuse Empire and paid tribute every year.

Since then, the Imperial Emperor has given up the idea of ​​dealing with the Kingdom of Dana.

The Kingdom of Dana was also very grateful for this decision, because after the relationship between the Kingdom of Dana and the Empire was normalized, it gained a lot of benefits from trade with the Empire, and the extra profit completely covered the annual tribute.

When the messenger of the God of Wealth arrived, the king of Dana Kingdom naturally welcomed and attached great importance to it.

After discussion in the court, the beauty who welcomed the empire of the empire fell on the eldest prince.

Prince Dana was very excited. He was not only excited to welcome the emissary of the Empire, but also pay more attention to the political significance behind the emissary of the Empire.

Contemporary King Dana is old and it is time to choose his heir. However, like the vast kingdoms, Dana is not the only prince, he is also the second prince and the third prince...

This time, the old king handed him over the mission of greeting the Imperial Envoy, and asked the great prince to deal with the Imperial Envoy on behalf of the Kingdom of Dana. The significance of this is self-evident.

The eldest prince was excited inside, but on the surface he was very calm. He just checked the details of his clothes many times, which revealed his true thoughts.

No one cares about him at this time, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the imperial delegation approaching from afar.

It was a five-horse carriage, plus a team of dozens of soldiers. The soldiers rode their mounts and guarded around the carriage, constantly approaching the winter fort.

The situation inside the carriage is unknown, so most of the Dana people's eyes fall on the soldiers.

The soldiers of the Imperial Mission are composed of three races, orcs riding a wolf, a kobold riding a lizard, and a gnolls riding a wolf.

But no matter what race it is, the soldiers were well-equipped and expressed confidence from their bones all over their bodies, especially the dog-headed guard holding the imperial flag in front of the team, straightened his back.

All this is because of their soldiers of the Forse Empire.

After half an hour, the delegation of the Forse Empire came to the front of the Winter Castle with everyone's anticipation, and everyone was able to pay closer attention to the glory of the Empire.

In the crowd, a junior mage stared at the carriage curtain with an incredible look on his face: "Oh my God, the carriage curtain is actually made of rune cloth. Such a large rune cloth is used to make carriage curtains, which is too generous!"
