"There is new news, Your Majesty." The idol pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve like a magician and read in a calm voice: "It's Ms. Pusance, she reported that..."
His voice stopped abruptly.
"say what?"
"...Kleinamis betrayed, Vesta died, Grim Alex was assassinated by Kleinamis, and Hitzfeld and others are all missing."
Nian Lun's eyes widened and he leaned forward: "Is she serious?"
"I don't remember Ms. Purcell telling a joke once."
"… mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized."
After a long pause, Nian Lun spoke tremblingly.
"Where are we going to mobilize?"
"Need I ask?" He glared at the puppet.
"Of course it's the place they are most likely to go, the White Shadow Palace!"
……
After closing the car door, Hitzfeld turned on the flashlight and looked around.
There were several rows of dense trees on both sides of the road, and behind them was the road they came from, which was now shrouded in night fog.
In front of us is a magnificent archway that is four meters high and three meters wide. It is connected to a more magnificent white stone building, and the empty hall inside can be vaguely seen.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
The big white dog Lily suddenly started barking wildly, scaring the already nervous people.
"Don't go crazy, Lily!" Hitzfeld tried to grab the big dog, but found that no matter how he comforted it, it was useless.
"What happened to you?"
Half squatting, she hugged the dog's neck tightly, trying to keep her eyes level with its, looking in the direction it had been barking.
There is nothing there.
There were only trees and a night fog that vaguely obscured the forest.
"This is the Atrium Hall...there should be nothing inside." Carlo said.
"Have you been to the palace?" Darent asked him.
"I've been here half a time."
"What do you mean by half a time?"
"Captain Frick brought me here before, but I didn't go in. I was waiting at the door... He described the structure here to me. The main parts of the palace are the front hall, the middle hall, and the upper hall. The front hall is the court. We should be in the middle now. There are so many trees on both sides of the road leading to the middle hall."
"The goal is to meet His Majesty... So we are very close?" Darent nodded.
"I think we should find someone to explain the situation to." Grimm looked very uneasy.
If they broke into the palace without permission and got closer to the inside, he didn't think they would have a chance to explain if they were discovered.
"I think so too." Pippen nodded, "But you can see, there's no one in this damn place.
Everywhere I look, it's desolate. I really don't know where all the people have gone.
"Just keep walking."
Hitzfeld stood up.
After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped, half-knelt in front of the big dog again, and lifted up a little bit of her skirt to reveal her deep black silk ankles.
The big white dog lowered its head and sniffed at her ankles a few times, then tilted its head to look back, its ears twitching.
"I know you're smart."
Hitzfeld said.
"I need you to help me...help me find her."
"…if she's around."
"Wang!"
The big dog barked.
Hitzfeld thought she understood.
"Good boy."
Patting the dog's head, she stood up and entered the hall first.
It was dark here, without any lighting, and they had to use flashlights all the way.
"Squeaky-"
"Who?"
Several guns were aimed at the location of the sound at the same time. Flashlight beams followed closely behind, faintly illuminating a bouncing black dot at the edge of the corner.
insect?
Or a mouse?
It's not something dangerous after all...
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Hitzfeld's eyes widened - she saw that the illuminated wall had actually cracked a black crack, which was getting bigger and bigger, extending and turning into an open stone door!
A figure stepped out of the door at the same time, half squinting due to the strong light.
Then when he adjusted to the light and saw the group of people standing in the center of the hall, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Ethan~!?"
"Isendale?"
"Hitzfeld?"
A huge surprise came out of nowhere. Hitzfeld rushed forward quickly, and then suddenly stopped when he was about three meters away from Ethan.
“This is the first time we’ve met.”
"I mean a private meeting, what is it for?"
"To confirm whether you have talent."
Ethan smiled.
"It's me, Hitzfeld."
"You didn't admit your mistake."
Without any more worries, the girl rushed up to him and gave him a reserved hug.
"Why are you here?"
"And this secret passage..."
"Oh, it was Her Highness Xilu who guided me here."
Ethan looked back into the depths of the secret passage.
"She said it's not safe out there right now."
"She and her people should be coming up soon..."
"Ethan! Doyle—!"
A low growl startled everyone.
Amid the fierce barking of dogs, Hitzfeld quickly turned around and was extremely surprised to see that it was Prince Gaunt.
He was dressed in formal attire - an elegant suit that perfectly matched his status, with a decorative saber hanging on his side. He held guns in both hands, with a look of shock and anger mixed with disbelief.
Still lucky.
She was surprised, but also relieved.
Gaunt, just meet Gaunt.
Considering their relationship, he shouldn't make it too difficult for them...
"Your Highness, it is like this..."
She wanted to explain.
"Shut up Aisun!"
Gunter interrupted her rudely, but his gun and eyes were fixed on Ethan.
"Drop your weapon and get down on the ground with your hands up!"
"Your Highness, things are not as you think..." Torres also stepped forward to explain.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Gunter quickly turned his gun around and aimed at him.
"Stand still!"
"Don't come near me!"
How did Gunter become like this?
Hitzfeld was a little confused.
She was keenly aware that something was beyond her expectations and that Gaunt's hostility towards Ethan was abnormal.
Ethan's reaction made her heart stop.
He actually pulled out a gun and aimed it at Gaunt!
"I heard it all from Her Highness Xilu... There might be an unexpected descendant of the old king who is planning everything, and he is hiding among all the heirs of the royal family."
Thinking of his father's unjust case, his recent experiences, and the mother he had never met, his tone unconsciously became unusually cold.
"And given your current state, Your Highness...I think you need to calm down first."
Gaunt was stunned.
He first looked at the dark muzzle of the gun aimed at him, then turned his eyes away and just happened to see Hitzfeld turning back in panic.
Her silver-gray hair was flying in the air, and her entire face could be vaguely seen through her swaying bangs.
She wasn't wearing an eyepatch.
But she was very concerned about me knowing this... When I came in, she immediately raised her hand to cover it.
Gunter didn't know what he was thinking, he only heard a gunshot.
"boom!"
The recoil pushed him back half a step, and then he realized that it was he who pulled the trigger.

I could have posted it earlier, so I wrote it directly in the backend, but when I was almost done the screen froze. I almost smashed the keyboard but it was still frozen and unresponsive. I had no choice but to shut down the computer and rewrite it in tears.
Chapter 128 God descends
Blood flowers exploded in the air.
Everyone, including Hitzfeld, turned to look at Ethan and saw a bright red hole exploded in his left shoulder. His hand shook and he actually fired a shot at the same time.
"boom!"
The hit rate of this shot was very low. It did not hit Gunter, but hit the ground at his feet, more than a meter away.
“You’re crazy…!”
"You dare to shoot!?"
Questioning, roaring, barking...it seemed that the dispute in the hall had officially reached a fever pitch.
Hitzfeld quickly ran to Ethan to stop both sides from aiming. Darent frowned and raised his gun to aim at Gaunt. The others were stunned and trembling, not knowing what to do at this time.
After all, that was Gaunt... he was a prince!
Their mission is to protect Hitzfeld - not Ethan. In this situation, who will tell them what to do?
