There are four walls in the room, and there are only a few vents made of thin copper pipes on the wall. Judging from the size of the copper pipe, I am afraid that even a slightly fat mouse will find it difficult to enter.

The length and width of the house are about twenty steps. There is a hardwood bed inside, with only a set of snow-white and fearful sheets on it. In addition, there is only a set of desks.

Aker noticed that the bottom of the bed, desk and chair were iron-linked on the ground and could not be moved.

And there was only one person in this room.

The man sat on the chair with his back facing the door. From his back, he looked gray and his body was a little hunched.

However, as soon as he saw this person, Aker sighed in his heart: It turned out to be him... It's no wonder that His Majesty looked at him so tightly.

Shilo had never spoken, and the man slowly turned around. His old face was thin, because he had not seen the sun for many days and looked pale.

However, those eyes were not as turbid as a person of this age should have, as sharp as a sword and as sharp as a knife!

Aker was also a little uncomfortable when he was stared at such a sharp look. He couldn't help but sigh and said slowly: "Peter = Lord Statham, I've been missing for many days."

The man in front of him is naturally the former imperial minister of the country, the chief supervisor of the inner court, the most trusted confidant and direct descendant of the late emperor, and the number one loyal dog, Old Pete!

Pete's eyes turned around on the two of them, but finally fell on Hilo, but he treated Aker as air, his lips moved, and said coldly in a hoarse voice: "It turns out that it is His Highness Hilo, I'm coming to see me again."

Aker frowned and couldn't help but say, "Old Peter, now His Majesty has been crowned and ascended the throne and is the new emperor of the empire. Your title is not appropriate."

Pete looked motionless, his eyelids did not raise his eyelids, and he didn't look at Aker, but just said coldly: "How dare you be the emperor, traitor?"

This sentence not only cursed Hilo, but also cursed Aker. Aker blushed and couldn't help but scold him.

But Shilo waved his hand and stopped Aker from speaking and said with a faint smile: "You hate me in your heart, so naturally you don't have a good face. You can call it whatever you like.

After pausing, Hilo walked two steps closer, looked at all the decorations in the room, looked at Pitt's face, sighed softly, and whispered: "Peter, why are you doing this? My brother has gone. I promised him that he would not kill too much. An old minister like you, I can have a good end. Now you are so hard, and you suffer so much pain here every day..."

Pete smiled coldly: "It's not a big pain to search souls once a day."

Aker's scalp numbed out after hearing this!

Soul Search?

Once a day?!

He couldn't help but glance at Hilo!

Although Aker is not a magician, he is from a wealthy family, and a wealthy family like the Luolin family, who has a lot of connection with magicians. Naturally, he has also heard of the name "soul searching"!

This is a soul-based spell, which is considered a kind of undead magic. It is said that it is used by magicians to forcefully retrieve the memories in the souls of the person being cast! It is used to question prisoners who are tough and unwilling to bow their heads. It is the most painful and cruel magic!

The person who is cast is like cutting into pieces and deepening. After one experience, it is like the whole soul being extracted, torn into pieces, searching inch by inch, and finally sticking and sending it back

Although Aker had never actually felt it, he had seen it once in the family when he was young. That time, a traitor appeared in the family, colluding with outsiders, and defied the large amount of military expenditures of the family's private army. Later, after the failure, he died and refused to speak. The family had to look for a trade union and hired a powerful magician to interrogate with soul searching.

I remember that at that time, the guy who was casting a spell was also a tough guy. He had survived the torture of the family before, but that night, Aker heard the guy who was casting soul searching skills in the room outside the door, screaming shrillly! In the end, the sound almost disappeared!

Such a tough guy only lasted for one night and was almost broken by the soul searching technique. Not only did he get something wrong with the casting spell, but he was determined to die and he didn't even have the courage to live!

The cruelty and power of this spell left a deep memory for Aker!

This old Pete actually... searched souls once a day, and has been working so many days?!

Shilo sighed softly, his tone was very gentle, and he said slowly: "Peter, you have served the royal family for many years. My original intention is that I will never want you to suffer such a hardship. But you should understand...... You are unwilling to give a briefing for a day. How can I feel at ease with what you have done for my brother over the years?"

Old Pete was shocked, laughed loudly, and shouted loudly: "Shilo! Are you scared?!"

"Yes, I'm afraid." Shilo nodded without any mind and admitted, and he said slowly: "When my brother was there, all the hidden powers in the palace were controlled by you, and all the secret things in the shadowy people were done by you. I know that you have always had a lot of things in your hands, and there are a group of people who are spies for you, investigate the news, killers for you, and clean up some thorns in your eyes. You even have too many secrets, not only the royal family of the palace, but also the powerful people of the empire, those big men, and important officials of various ministries, even...... Even the Tulip House

You have people! Maybe, the concubine whom you have loved for many years is your old Pete who has been laying a stake for many years! God knows that you have such things and people in your hands, so how many people have hidden them? How can I feel at ease with someone like you? If I am really careless, maybe one day I will be cut off by a guard or a palace maid in my close body when I go to bed. Maybe one day I can poison me to death with a glass of water. No matter how careful I am, I have only heard of catching thieves for a thousand days, but I have never heard of the principle of guarding thieves for a thousand days."

Speaking of this, Hilo's tone became softer and he sighed softly: "Peter, so... I am really afraid of you. If you don't explain, I will never feel at ease no matter what, and I can't let you go."

When Aker heard this, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart!

I can't even feel at ease when I sleep and eat. This day is not only a danger to Hilo, but also one of the leaders of this coup usurpation...

"Your Majesty... Since Pete is so dangerous, it's better......" Aker gritted his teeth and made a one-handed cut gesture.

Hearing this, Shilo smiled faintly and shook his head: "I want to... but... I dare not."

"No, don't dare?" Aker was stunned.

The person in front of him dares to do even the coup and kill his brother. Is there anything in this world that he dares not do?

"You don't understand, Aker." Hilo said slowly: "The secret chess in the palace have always been secret. Only the person in charge knows the secrets during this period. The various pieces of chess pieces that are ambushed include bright chess and secret chess. Some secret chess may not be activated for ten or twenty years once they are ambushed. Once activated, they are ruthless killers! Moreover, many secret chess have the final death order of the final kill. Often, this ultimate kill order is issued in advance. Once it is determined that the line is broken or dead... Then, the offline will immediately transform into a dead soldier and make the final kill!

I don't want to suddenly jump out of the empire because of Peter's death."

Old Pete laughed, looked at Hilo, and said lightly: "I really admire you. You just want to admit that you are afraid in person, you don't dare... You are really an amazing person!"

"Peter." Xitou said slowly: "Every time, the soul searching technique is not something that ordinary people can tolerate. If you hold on so hard, I thought you would break it on your own if you last for a few days at most."

"Of course I won't die! If I die, wouldn't it make you worry? Hilo! You know me and I'm not unfamiliar with you! As long as I live one more day, you will be uneasy for a day and beware of me for a day, for fear that I will do anything to harm you! Hahaha! But you don't dare to kill me directly!!" Pete laughed in a loud voice!

The laughter was shrill, full of resentment!

This laughter made Aker, who was murderous, feel a little chilled when he heard this.

"Okay." Hilo's expression remained unchanged and said lightly: "I'll come to see you today... But it seems that you haven't changed your mind yet. I don't have to waste my words to say so much nonsense."

"Not bad! I will never do it as you wish!" Pitt shouted: "Get out quickly! Otherwise, the old man will curse again!"

Shilo smiled lightly, but suddenly said in a strange tone: "Do you know that today... people have come to the Tulips family."

When Peter heard this, he was indeed stunned and his expression suddenly became serious: "Tulips...what to say!"

"Why do you have to be lucky?" Shilo shook his head and sighed: "With your intelligence, you should be able to guess that the Tulips family is now in charge of my little aunt. How could she do anything fierce? Besides, the Tulips family never participates in the battle for imperial power and is beyond the world. Do you expect her to raise a banner and tell the heaven to attack me?"

Pete was silent for a while, his face looked a little ugly, and he slowly said in a hoarse voice: "Yes... The Duchess of the Tulips family will not do this. The Tulips family thinks that the empire is the priority. Even if they know you are a traitor, they are already like this. She will not fight a civil war with you for the overall situation of the empire."

"But, my little aunt has offered several conditions to ask me to agree to her conditions in exchange for her silence and support."

Pete frowned and looked at Hilo coldly: "What are you talking about this to me!"

Shilo smiled faintly: "There are two things that are very interesting in my aunt's conditions. Is this the first one? I asked me to let you go and take you to the Tulips family to the northwest. It seems that my aunt is really nostalgic and can't bear to be the hardship of you, the old minister of the late emperor, to me."

Aker listened on the side and couldn't help but be stunned.

He had seen the Tulips' handwritten book with his own eyes. The letter did not mention Pitt. Hilo suddenly used this lie to deceive Pitt, but what does it mean?

However, Aker is also a high-level samurai after all. Although he was surprised, his qi practice skills were very good, and there was no clue on his face.

Peter was slightly stunned when he heard this, and frowned and said, "It is rare that Miss Messiah misses me so much, but my bad life is not lucky enough to go to the northwest.

What's more... Hilo, how could you let me leave!"

"Yes. I can't agree to this one." Hilo smiled faintly: "But the second one, I decided to agree to this second one. Is this second one? My little aunt asked me to help her kill someone and ask me to give this person's head."

"Oh? Who?" Pete was indeed curious.

"The young professor from the Magic Academy, Darling = Chen!" Shilo's expression remained unchanged, but his tone of intentional slowing down was said word by word.

"……What?!"

Pete suddenly changed color!

In an instant, the emotions in the old man's eyes were doubtful, suspicious, and shocked!

However, even Aker captured the biggest emotion in Pete's eyes, it was...

Worry and panic!!

(Hmm? Even this guy Pete is so tight that guy? What's weird about that guy?)

Aker's heart sank suddenly!

But Shilo continued slowly: "My aunt said that this kid was entangled with Lodell of the Liszt family, and it ruined her Tulips' business sign in the imperial capital, so......"

"You lied to me!" Pete was indeed Pete. After a little confused, he immediately woke up and stared at Hilo coldly and shouted: "Thief! Do you use this lie to deceive me? How could Miss Messiah make such a ridiculous request! Humph! What do you want to get from me if you test me like this!"

"……………Haha, I can't deceive you, as expected." Shilo was calm and laughed, and then said, "Okay, I'll feel relieved when I see you live well, so you can continue to wait here. If you figure it out one day, say to the people outside and I'll see you again."

After saying that, Hilo didn't say anything more, and turned around and walked towards the door.

Aker was stunned and had to follow him out.

The two went out, and when the door was closed again, Shilo didn't talk much along the way, and just walked away with Aker and Carlton...

"Your Majesty." Aker couldn't help but say, "Just..."

"You saw it too." Shilo said coldly, "Even this guy, Pitt, values ​​Darling so much."

"This..." Aker became more and more confused.

Shilo suddenly stopped, turned his head, and stared at Aker: "Do you know what a terrible torture my soul searching technique once a day!"

"……………I don't know.” Aker shook his head: “But…………I have heard a lot about soul searching. I think... it should be very uncomfortable."

"I can't describe the terrible soul searching technique in words." Shilo shook his head and said lightly: "But this skin is strong and his mind is as firm as iron, but he has a strong resistance to soul searching technique. Therefore, after many days of continuous use, the soul searching technique was used many times, and the gains were extremely limited."

After pausing, Hilo smiled bitterly and said, "If you have nothing to do with it, you can't say that. The soul search technique has also found some valuable information. For example, in the home of a certain important official, there is the old Pete's secret chess, and the wife whom a real power general in the empire, who was arranged by Old Pete four years ago! After several days of soul search technique, he dug up eleven clues from his mind, and later proved that these clues are all true!"

"What's the matter with that guy Darling Chen?"

"It's related!" Shilo took a deep breath, his eyes staring at Aker: "There are some words in his mind these days! If this sentence is correct, it should be a word my brother said to him when he was alive!"

"That's what...yes......" Aker suddenly felt his heart beat faster.

Hilo's expression became more and more bizarre, and then he said this in a slow, but extremely deep tone:
Chapter completed!
