In a simple yet luxurious study room, a piece of dark green letter paper was reduced to ashes between his slender fingers. Qiao Xiu, who was sitting in a mahogany chair, held a tall crystal cup between his fingers. The amber liquid in the cup was The wine swayed slightly, and the handsome face that was usually gentle and elegant was now as cold as ice.
"Alex, you are indeed not dead, but where will you be hiding now? Dragon Island? No, those stupid behemoths want to kill you more than anyone else. Twilight Forest? No, there are so many in the border war. The orcs will die in your hands. It is impossible in the Forest of Wind. Although you are confident and crazy enough, showing up in the Forest of Wind with a half-elf daughter is no different from seeking death..." A low self-talk. There was a sound in the room, and the paper pressed on the table rippled slightly.
"If it's not in the Los Empire, then the most likely place is the City of Chaos, right? A city where all races coexist. No matter what kind of people appear, they won't make people feel conspicuous. Although Alex has no brains , but he is alert and knows what kind of place is dangerous and what kind of place is safe, but it is not easy to find someone who deliberately hides in the city of chaos." Qiao Xiu slowly picked up the wine glass in his hand and quickly When he put it to his mouth, he suddenly stopped and suddenly fell to the ground.
The amber wine and crystal shards were scattered on the floor. Qiao Xiu stood up with a ferocious look on his face, clenched his fists and roared hoarsely: "Alex, it's best not to let me find you. After so many years, Irina still hasn't forgotten you, so I can only kill you and that little bastard completely. I was still too soft-hearted back then."
"Your Highness, Second Prince, are you okay?" The butler's nervous voice came from outside the door.
"I'm fine, let Hughes come over." Qiao Xiu's expression instantly returned to calmness and he said calmly.
"Yes." The butler's voice sounded, followed by the sound of footsteps leaving quickly.
Qiao Xiu turned around and pulled out a map from the top row of the bookcase, laying it flat on the desk. His brown eyes slowly scanned it, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
"Your Highness, Hughes is here." Not long after, the butler's voice came from outside the door.
"Let him in." Qiao Xiu said without raising his head.
The heavy wooden door was pushed open, and a tall, thin young man with short blond hair, wearing a black mage robe, walked in with a red death sickle embroidered on his chest.
This magician looks to be in his thirties, with a somewhat sickly fair complexion. There is a scar from the center of his eyebrows to his left eye. His eyes are a rare light gray, which looks a bit like dead fish eyes. His whole body is shrouded in There is a somewhat cold atmosphere in the black mage robe.
The black leather boots made a clicking sound when he stepped on the crystal shards, but his expression did not change at all. He looked at Qiao Xiu with a somewhat fanatical look, bowed his head and saluted, and said with full respect: "Xius, I have met Your Highness. "
"I want you Asuras to find someone and kill him." Qiao Xiu looked away from the map on the table and said softly.
"Your Highness, please give me your instructions." Hughes bowed his head and said respectfully.
"Mag Alex." Qiao Xiu looked at Hughes and said calmly.
"Alex!" Hughes suddenly raised his head, looked at Qiao Xiu's eyes full of shock and disbelief, and said with some hesitation: "Your Highness, wasn't Alex already dead back then? And after all these years We have been looking for evidence of whether he was actually dead, but there is nothing to prove that he is still alive."
"No, he is still alive, and someone has proven this, so you have to find him before everyone else, kill him, and bring his head to see me." Qiao Xiu shook his head slightly and looked Xiusi said seriously.
"If Alex is still alive, then I will definitely kill him to wipe out the shame of the past!" Hughes's expression suddenly became ferocious, and the scar between his eyebrows looked like an ugly centipede.
"Remember, no matter what grudges you had between you back then, after you find him, kill him first. If you fail, you will come to see me." Qiao Xiu said with a cold expression.
"Yes!" Hughes looked stern and bowed his head respectfully. As the youngest ninth-level magician in the empire and the leader of Asura, he still felt like he was walking on thin ice when facing Qiao Xiu.
Not only because he is one of the heirs to the throne of the empire, but probably because he dared to set up a trap to bring Alex down from the top of the clouds at the height of his power, the one who once made him feel the fear of being dominated. The man, the man who trampled under his feet the talented magician who was once regarded as the most potential master of the Mage Tower in the Los Empire.
Back then, when the two of them entered level nine at the same time, the so-called peak battle became a lifelong shame for him.
One sword, he only used one sword.
Then he lost.
If it weren't for the moment when the sword tip pierced his eyebrows, making him feel the unavoidable fear of death, he couldn't even believe that he couldn't even catch Alex's sword.
From then on, the son of Master Tower fell from the top of the clouds to the mortal world and became a joke.
After that, Alex embarked on the road to becoming a strong person step by step, defeating ten levels and slaying a dragon. He advanced so fast and became so powerful that it was difficult for the younger generation to match him. Even he, the so-called young one, The leader of this generation can only despair.
Therefore, the Mage Tower loses a magician who does not miss classes every day, the dark nights of Luodu gain an Asura leader, and the scythe of death silently harvests lives one after another.
"Although I know he is not dead, I am not sure where he will be now, but the most likely possibility is this city of chaos." Qiao Xiu pointed his finger, and the map on the desk slid in the direction of Hughes. , said in a deep voice: "Remember, this news must be kept strictly confidential. Except for Asura's people, no one else is allowed to leak any information."
"Yes, I will send someone to the City of Chaos to find out the news." Hughes put away the map on the table and said respectfully.
"Also, when you kill him, kill everyone close to him, no matter who they are." Qiao Xiu was silent for a while and then ordered.
"Yes." A hint of surprise flashed in Hughes's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
"Go down." Qiao Xiu sat back on the chair and closed his eyes.
Hughes lowered his head and took two steps back, then turned around and went out, slowly closing the study door.
"Mag Alex, if you don't die, many people will not be able to sleep well, so you might as well die..." Qiao Xiu's voice echoed in the study.
…
"First Prince, Simon's manor is here." On the outskirts of Luodu City, outside a rather spacious manor, a black carriage stopped by the roadside, Quinn said softly.
