Chapter 8 Intention

"Recently, various data have been rising slowly, and I obviously think that the third volume is still compact (unsolved."

The white stone floor tiles of the Liushui Palace can almost reflect people. No one was seen in the empty hall, and only the captain of the bodyguard led them in front of them. The sound of footsteps echoed, and the three of them were like an army marching.

The prince's wife has passed away and left him only two daughters. He guards a dead and cold castle all day long. Li Ou could feel the chill and loneliness penetrating through the stone wall. Wide and empty. This silent hall seems to never be filled. Walking, the alchemist remembered his home on the other side of the sea. Although it was small, it was warm enough. He turned his head and looked at the red-haired female mage beside him, only to find that he had not let go of her hand. He was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, and his hands sweated coldly. He had to speak and divert his attention.

"About the night witch," his left hand was extremely stiff. He swallowed his saliva unnaturally. Is there anything else you can tell me? For example, some secrets?

"There is no secret." The captain of the bodyguard did not stop walking and said, "Everyone knows this."

"But I still have a few questions."

"Ask. The Prince told me to ask and answer your questions. The captain of the bodyguard said, "I try my best not to say anything."

"The prince said that the night witch suddenly appeared."

"Yes, without warning, it was a night seven years ago." The captain of the guard said, "She suddenly came out of the grave as if she had fallen from the sky."

Li Ou does not believe the prince's speculation, and the guesses such as "the wizard's revenge" are particularly unbelievable. Nothing strange will happen without warning. Has anything happened before that? Something special."

The captain of the bodyguard fell into thought. There are many wise people who have the same doubts as you. After a while of silence, he said, "Their views are often very different, and in many things. But it is rare to agree on this matter.

Li Ou smiled. Have you found anything?"

"No one knows what happened. At least we don't know." The captain of the guard shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness is the ruler, not the secret goddess of privacy. He can't know everything. But there is only one thing that can be confirmed..." The captain of the bodyguard glanced at the parchment in his hand and said in a strange sympathetic tone, "... The wise men all say that the banshee is cursed."

Curse? Li Ou's body trembled uneasily. Rosie felt his panic and immediately turned her head. He reluctantly squeezed out a smile and prayed that she would not find anything about it. A girl turned into a monster because of a curse? Why did the curse come about?

"This girl... banshee...does anyone know her?"

"If someone knows it, they will definitely not say it." The captain of the guard sighed.

"What about the prince's magic consultant? What about my colleague? What does he know?" Rosie interrupted, "There are many magics that can detect lies."

"This is Qianhu City, Miss Witch." The captain of the bodyguard reminded her and paused. He continued, "As far as I know, he doesn't know more than me. He is timid and cowardly and never dares to hide anything. But I suggest that you'd better not go to him."

"Why?" The alchemist asked. He has released goodwill to them.

The captain of the guard glanced at the door first, and then lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that he would be heard by the speaker. I don't like him. In recent days, I hate him even more. Several times I saw him casting spells in the attic. I can't pretend that nothing happened. I'm a Valian, an alchemist, and I've never left here. You should be able to understand my fear and hatred of magic. He looked into the eyes of the alchemist and did not hide his weakness at all. And this is a sign of bravery.

Liou nodded to show that he could understand.

But he assisted the prince. And I'm just the prince's bodyguard, protecting him safe, but I don't have the right to speak.

He is very similar to Moon Dance. Li Ou thought to himself. We appreciate your kindness and will deal with it carefully.

The captain of the bodyguard nodded. One more thing. If you insist on going to the old palace where the banshee lives, you'd better choose a sunny day and be sure to leave there before sunset. He advised.

"There has been no attack during the day?"

"Never."

"Her attack on human beings only happened on a full moon night?"

"Yes, she goes out for food every full moon night." The captain of the guard replied, "As long as she shows a smile, men will be fascinated by it, and women will also mourn for her, and she will come and go freely. But she only wandered around the old palace. Nowadays, a large number of death row prisoners are fed white and tender, washed cleanly for her to choose. There are both Valia and white people, and the old and young men are at her liking. So she simply didn't go out of the door.

This is a good way. Now she must be white and fat, free and full of wine and food every night. No one survived?" The alchemist asked.

The captain of the guard stopped. He was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth. It has been seven years since the beginning. Two noble young masters couldn't wait to enter there when it was rumored that there was a beautiful banshee in the tower. They thought that a kiss could lift the curse. They are not princes, nor are they princesses. Yes, so one never appeared again, and the other was fished in the sea by the fisherman the next day, and he was insane.

"What happened later?"

The captain of the bodyguard sighed, "Crazy. Locked in the basement by his father and fed like a wolf dog.

"He's not dead yet, is he?" Rosie said carelessly. As long as you don't die. Magic can see what he has met.

"Miss Witch, I warn you." The captain of the guard touched the handle of the axe and said, "You can't do whatever you want here."

Li Ou shook her hand. We won't adopt it unless we have to."

"It's better to be like this." The captain of the bodyguard hummed in a muffled voice.

When they left the palace and passed the garden, they saw the children again. In the garden pool, the children are still playing. The youngest of them is only five years old, and the eldest one is only eight or nine years old. Half are girls and half boys. Li Ou saw them splashing water on each other and shouting in a shrill voice. Whose children are they? The alchemist asked.

Several older children lay face down on the hot sand to bask in the sun. The rest are building sand castles, piling spear-like spires, like towering sword tips. There are also more than a dozen children fighting in waist-deep water. Splashes are always accompanied by loud smiles. A brown-haired girl ran towards them and passed them by laughing.

"She is Princess Namelia. The rest are the children of the prince brothers and sisters. They are all her playmates.

"His Royal Highness likes children very much."

"Yes. He likes every child." The captain of the guard said, "He also played in the flowing garden." His words stopped there, but the Salasa slave translator has let the alchemists know that Prince O's brothers and sisters have died in natural and man-made disasters. Two of them died at the hands of magic. Li Ou sighed and thought that there was always a dangerous road ahead.

Nally held the broken-winged pigeon with an uneasy face. He was flapping at them with another wing that was about to break, and his feathers fell one after another and sprinkled all over the ground. Look, what have you done?" He shouted, "You provoked the incident and even killed people!" Sir, this is a foreign country, and your judicial immunity is a piece of paper.

"You're bleeding." Leo said calmly.

His clothes were stained red by the blood from the cracked wound. I still can't die."

"Yes, you can't die. The old lady's medicine is very effective. It actually woke you up so quickly. Li Ouyang said strangely. It suddenly occurred to him that there were only sleeping ingredients in the pills given by the old man? If that's the case, it's a serious mistake.

"Do you want me to die?"

"Someone wants you to die." Rosie reminded him word by word, "It's not us."

"I don't see any difference in the ending." The red pigeon Eugene supported himself.

"Then open your pigeon eyes and think about it with your little head." Rosie snorted coldly, "You are either the only one who dies or all of us who die!" Go to hell with all your so-called agreements!" She pulled the announcement out of Li Ou's hand and threw it on the pigeon's face, "Have a good look!"

"What is this?" The female swordsman asked.

"Night Witch." Rosie said angrily, "Amulet."

Miss Bachelor frowned, "Is that what you plan to do?"

"What else?" Leo sat down opposite Miss Bachelor. He glanced at the red pigeon Eugene, and his face was pale, as if he would faint at any time. Hurry up and faint. He maliciously prayed to the gods. Just wait for death like this?"

"But it's too dangerous." Miss Bachelor frowned and her blonde hair hung down like a gold tassel. The creature of the night witch... almost no one can resist her charm. She said worriedly.

"I'm not going to kill her." Leo said, "All the people who tried to kill her are dead. I'm not that stupid."

"The act of asserting is the stupidest!" Eugene, the red pigeon, said in a painful voice in the corner.

Words are like the wind. The alchemist turned a deaf ear. Since everything is cursed." He noticed the sudden glance of the female mage. He was nervous and hurriedly said, "Then find the source of the curse."

"It's still difficult."

"Magic will solve everything." Rosie said confidently.

The female swordsman is still worried, "The magic is extinct here..."

"So, everything will be fine without being discovered."

"What on earth are you going to do?" Eugene, the red pigeon, shouted angrily, "We should obey the law here!" Do as the Romans do!"

"Comply with the law? When killers kill people on the street, do you want them to keep the law and put down their swords? Leo sneered, "We are taking revenge for you, Mr. Pigeon. The assassin was killed to warn us, and we fought back. I killed three scoundrels just to listen to the saint.

"Shangda Shengting?" Eugene, the red pigeon, jumped up from the sofa, "What did you say?"

"I wanted to have a direct showdown, but I think you will be furious. But the prince is fully aware of my intention.

"What's the intention?"

"In case he kills us in anger." He calmly told the pigeon with feathers stained with blood, "No one is stupid enough to be the feathers that fell when the pigeon fell to the ground."
