If you ask a star person which department under the king is the most terrifying, he will most likely blurt out "The Secret Department of the Kingdom".

But if you ask me what is so scary, he still has no idea about keeping it.

Only to Thales, this department is considered an "old acquaintance": whether it was meeting the Black Prophet for the first time in Mindis Hall, being imprisoned in Longxiao City, or meeting in a hurry at the Blade Tooth Camp, they had dealt with him many times.

Too much.

Unfortunately, it is definitely not enjoyable.

Now, this mysterious department that has been operating since the era of the Renaissance King, the highest intelligence agency of the Star Kingdom, is located in front of him.

"Is this the secret science of the kingdom?"

Thales stepped off the carriage and looked at the manor in the southern suburbs of Yongxing City: surrounded by creeks, desolate fields, simple low walls, and old mansions.

There are even farmhouses, warehouses, and even forest land that has been left uncultivated for many years and grown freely.

Ordinary, average.

If it weren't for the vast area but the sparsely populated area, this would be a standard suburban aristocratic manor.

Maybe it was confiscated after a certain noble family was robbed, Thales thought.

"At least in the past ten years, yes."

Raphael said hello to the driver of the carriage, who remained silent and disappeared from Thales' eyes with the sound of horse hooves.

Just like an ordinary country traveler.

The desolate skeleton man made a "please" gesture to the prince and motioned to the iron gate of the manor not far away.

However, the entire manor was silent, almost dead.

Like a tomb.

"I didn't see many guards."

Thales suppressed his anxiety, stepped on the autumn leaves on the ground, and followed Raphael towards the iron gate.

But he soon discovered something unusual: two black crows came out of the dense forest, passed over their heads, and disappeared into the quaint manor.

"unnecessary."

Raphael's pace was relaxed:

"Ordinary intruders are no threat to us."

Thales raised his eyebrows:

"What about the unusual ones?"

But at this moment, Thales's hair stood up, and the whistling wind could be heard in his ears.

At the reminder of the roar of the Prison River Sin, he quickly turned his head!

But it's too late.

I saw a huge black shadow coming through the sky, unstoppable.

Go straight to Thales!

"No!"

Amidst Raphael's shocked and angry sounds, Thales could only seize the reaction time given to him by the Sin of Hell River, and he could only assume the "Iron Body Posture".

Boom.

The huge black shadow arrived in an instant and slammed into Thales's arms!

He flew out completely.

Thales felt first a sharp shock in his arm, and then the pain of impact and friction between his back and the ground.

And the bones and muscles protest throughout the body.

It seemed as if the whole person was falling apart.

no no……

In the turbulence of the Prison River Sin, Thales gritted his teeth and endured the pain, trying to open his eyes.

But it's not over yet.

A huge black shadow immediately enveloped Thales' whole body: it tightly restrained his legs, held down his shoulders, and pressed a huge weight on his chest, making the young man unable to move and having difficulty breathing.

The attacker pressed forward in a demonstrative manner, pressing close to his cheek. Thales could even feel the opponent's rough, violent, hot and rapid breathing.

No.

Thales struggled hard.

He vowed that from now on, no matter how inconvenient, suspicious, or inappropriate, he would always carry a JC or warning person with him.

You must not be left defenseless and at the mercy of others.

The attacker put his head under Thales' neck and took a few deep breaths, each time taking longer and longer, and he seemed to be gradually intoxicated.

Raphael's furious voice came out at this moment:

"No! Edward——"

At this moment, Thales suddenly felt his cheeks heat up.

Under the neck, a moist and sticky soft substance covered it.

Chin, cheeks, cheekbones, from bottom to top, slowly swept over the side of his face.

Hot, warm, soft.

There's also a bit of... fishy odor?

Thales was stunned.

The other person left his cheek, leaving a thick liquid behind.

Being blown by the wind makes you feel cool and refreshing.

Um?

Before he could react, with rapid and hot breathing, the black shadow approached again.

There was another feeling of warmth and moisture, covering Thales's mouth, nose, forehead, and auricles...

again and again.

Make him unable to open his eyes.

The other party was breathing heavily and huffing, and the tip of his nose and lips brushed against Thales' skin countless times, touching him closely, and he seemed quite excited.

Thales was stunned, and even the sin of the Hell River was resolved silently.

What's this?

"Edward...this is Prince Thales, he is not a threat!"

Finally, the arm of the Desolate Skeleton Man appeared on the attacker's neck, trying to pry him off Thales' body.

Amid the attacker's dissatisfied protests, Thales' chest relaxed. He finally got some space and raised his head.

The prince was stunned immediately.

What was pressing on him was a big black dog.

"Woof woof!"

At this moment, Raphael was grabbing the vicious dog's neck and dragging it backwards, making it miserable in the struggle.

Thales recognized its species.

It's an angry wolfdog.

This breed of dog, known for its ferocity, has always been a good helper for the nobles of the Kingdom of Stars for hunting and outings. Even a long time ago, the Brotherhood's Boss Maurice - the boss of Quaid and Rick - also raised a majestic dog

The angry wolf dog once met Thales by chance in the back alley of the Sunset Bar, and he also liked to "play" with him, well, the unfriendly kind of "play".

The big dog in front of me also has similar features: whether it's sharp fangs or a fierce face.

Except for one thing.

It also……

It's too big.

Thales stared at the wrestling in front of him blankly:

Although Raphael is slender, he is not short.

But even with his size, it was very difficult to restrain this big dog. It was like a child trying to reach out and hug an old tree that was two or three times thicker than him.

At this moment, the ferocious-looking big dog was looking at Thales on the ground with interest, breathing hotly, and licking his tongue and sucking a mouthful of saliva from time to time.

"Saab!"

Raphael, who saw nothing, looked into the distance and shouted angrily:
To be continued...
