After Avina and I rescued the little girl, we planned to leave the city. We planned to take the little girl to a place further south.
The little girl told us that her father was still in the hands of the Empire's people. Her father was the leader of the assassination attempt at the Hero Palace.
Avina and I couldn't do anything about it. We could only let her go to Pâtini alone. Like the little boy, she had to go to the Mercenary Association's president, Bollands.
I took her spear out of my spatial ring and returned it to her. I also gave her Lofis' Purple Light Double-edged Blades and told her to give them to the little boy. I was the one who introduced the little boy to the Hero Palace. I would ask Bollands to arrange for the two of them to stay together and supervise the little boy's training. The Purple Light Double-edged Blades would be his weapon.
On the other side, in the Hero Palace, Kaiser The Great's residence.
"Idiots! You're all useless! You can't even do what I asked you to do! "Kaiser The Great flew into a rage.
This time, it was Kaiser The Great's idea to poison the assassins and make them fight each other in the arena. His original plan was to kill three birds with one stone. First, he wanted the assassins to fight each other. Second, he wanted to manipulate the odds of victory to make a fortune. Third, he wanted to show his magnanimity and kill the assassins at the same time.
Originally, Emperor Keyes felt that this move was flawless, but this sudden change ruined all his plans. Most importantly, he felt that he couldn't get out of the embarrassing situation today. He was afraid of my strength, but he also felt that he couldn't do whatever he wanted. This feeling of helplessness made him the most unhappy.
In the German Empire, he, Kaiser The Great, could do whatever he wanted. When had he ever been humiliated like this?
The floor was covered in fragments, and the maid was shivering in fear. After Kaiser The Great vented his anger, his expression changed. He smiled and told the maid to leave. Then, he took the crossbow on the wall and shot the maid to death.
Stepping on the maid's head, Emperor Keyes used his foot to crush her, venting the unhappiness in his heart.
"To the dungeon!" Kaiser The Great said to the imperial guard guarding the door. At the same time, he revealed a sinister smile. He was going to take good care of this assassin leader.
In the dungeon, it was dark and damp. From time to time, there were rats and cockroaches running around on the ground.
In the empty corridor of the dungeon, heart-wrenching howls could be heard. A few wardens had been communicating with each other in private. It had been a few days.
"This brat can really take a beating. He's not dead yet. His life is really tough. How many days has it been? Ordinary people would have collapsed by now, "one of the wardens said to another.
"That's right. I've been a prison warden for so long, but I've never seen someone like him."
A few more miserable howls were heard. This time, the source of the sound was the imprisoned leader of the assassins who tried to assassinate the emperor.
This person could be considered young, in his thirties. There wasn't a single piece of flesh on his body that was intact. The places that could be executed were all over his body.
His skin was torn open, and even the saliva that he spat out was stained with blood. His entire body was covered in a mixture of sweat and blood.
"Are you going to talk or not? Who did this to you? I haven't used up all my methods yet. Don't think that this is the end. "The warden bared his teeth, revealing a fierce expression.
"His Majesty Kaiser has arrived! Long live the emperor! "The imperial guard guarding the door shouted loudly.
At this time, the prison wardens, imperial guards, and even the warden came to personally welcome Kaiser The Great.
Kaiser The Great didn't waste any time with them. Instead, he walked straight to the cell where the leader of the assassins was imprisoned, followed by a group of well-equipped imperial guards.
"Your Majesty Kaiser, it's been so many days, and this guy still refuses to talk." The warden immediately followed behind and said eagerly.
"A bunch of useless trash!" Kaiser The Great said angrily.
"Yes, yes, this lowly one deserves to die!" The warden almost knelt down and flattered.
Next, Emperor Keyes was alone with the prisoner in the prison. The warden was scared out of his wits, afraid that something would happen. But when Emperor Keyes came out, the warden's worried heart was relieved.
Kaiser The Great personally ordered that this man must be kept alive. If this man died, then everyone in this prison would die with him.
After that, Kaiser The Great left with the imperial guards, leaving behind the warden and the prison wardens who were drenched in cold sweat.
After Emperor Keyes returned, he issued an order the next day, which was to strictly investigate all things related to writing within the Empire. He could not give any chance to those with ulterior motives who mixed among the people of the Empire.
From the next day onwards, the entire city was locked down, and all entrances and exits were strictly checked. The imperial guards searched door to door, and if they found any forbidden writings or letters, they would be immediately arrested, and their families would be taken into custody. For a time, the citizens of the city were mourning.
Many people were reported or found to have forbidden writings, and they were either arrested or killed.
At this time, a nameless circus was setting up a tent in an open space in the city. They were going to hold a circus here, and what was incredible was that their performance was completely free, but only a hundred people could watch it every day.
For a time, all the people who had nothing to do flocked over. One person spread the news to ten, and ten to a hundred. Everyone wanted to see this magical circus.
It was said that this circus had some super amazing performances, and it wasn't something that ordinary circuses could compare to. Many people came because of the circus's reputation, just to be able to be in the top hundred and watch the circus's performance.
Everyone who watched the circus came out with a satisfied look on their faces. This made their reputation even more famous.
Even Kaiser The Great, who liked novelties, heard about it. Even Kaiser The Great was a little curious, and he sent people to secretly investigate.
After the people who went to investigate came back, they only said that there was no problem at all, and that their performance was simply wonderful.
However, the strange thing was that the descriptions of the people who had seen it were all different. It seemed that this circus was indeed unique.
This stimulated Kaiser The Great's curiosity even more, and he also wanted to see what was so magical about this circus.
Therefore, he sent people to arrange and talk to the person in charge of this circus. The Emperor wanted to book the whole place.
However, the person in charge of this circus was very mysterious. He was actually a person wearing a mask, and his original appearance couldn't be seen clearly. He hesitated for a moment, but he still agreed to the Emperor's request. He could hold a special performance for the Emperor, but only a hundred people could enter.
Kaiser The Great thought for a moment and agreed.
