Perhaps one month?
Three months?
Perhaps just one year?
Yulian recalled what Dragufil had said to him.
This series of times was the limit Yulian promised to protect him.
And the facts proved that Dragufil might not live that long.
The man who bought desserts at the dessert shop that day, was discovered by Yulian, and fled in a hurry, Yulian remembered his identity afterward!
It was that handsome, dashing man in black who erupted with killing intent towards Dragufil while praying in the Church that day, and was annoyed that his plan was broken by Yulian!
Unfortunately, Yulian had some face blindness, and after changing clothes, he didn't even recognize him when he saw him again!
By the time Yulian reacted and chased after him, the man's figure was long gone.
And today!
A month later, Yulian didn't expect to actually see this guy!
This guy openly came out of the City Lord's Mansion and went to a secret inn to meet privately with the nobles in the city!
"I said, how could I not find out this guy's background? Turns out the City Lord's Mansion had a rat!"
Yulian's teeth hitched with anger, watching the handsome man enter the inn but not daring to rashly follow.
Excluding the guy guarding the door, Yulian sensed a full eleven second-level magic users inside the inn!
For the kingdom, this is a terrifying number!
You must know that among the kingdom's court magic users, there are only a little over thirty second-level magic users.
Without being able to use Magic, Yulian was still somewhat restrained and didn't dare to rush in rashly.
Even because it was daytime, Yulian couldn't even eavesdrop.
However, Yulian was sure that these people were planning something big!
Just a few days ago, when Yulian was in routine contact with Dragufil, he received news that the old king had reached a critical moment, and this period would also be a crucial time, telling him to pay more attention to his safety.
And isn't the current situation exactly as Dragufil said!
Go!
Knowing that staying here was useless, Yulian hurried towards the City Lord's Mansion.
He didn't know the situation with these nobles, but how could Dragufil, this old fox, not know what tricks they would play when gathered together?
As long as he told Dragufil about the mole in the City Lord's Mansion, Yulian believed he would be incredibly relaxed.
"Lord Yulian."
The guards at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion bowed to Yulian one after another.
Having frequently entered and exited the City Lord's Mansion for a month, they had already gotten to know Yulian.
"Where is the City Lord?"
Yulian had no time to bother with the guards, only asking a shadow beneath the city wall inside the City Lord's Mansion gate.
The City Lord's shadow Mage was stationed there daily.
The shadow moved slightly. According to their duty, they could ignore Yulian.
They only took orders from Dragufil, obeying their City Lord.
But the next second, Yulian took out the 'Holy' token.
The City Lord's order, seeing the token is like the City Lord himself is present!
This was the fastest way!
Yulian wasn't sure how long the mole and those nobles would conspire, or when the plan would be launched.
But the mere fact that they were conspiring during the day was enough reason for Yulian to see Dragufil as quickly as possible!
"The Lord is in the study."
The shadow condensed into a human form, bowed respectfully to Yulian, and replied.
The study!
Yulian strode with great urgency, rushing towards the study in a panic.
Many flowers and plants by the roadside in the garden were startled and fell.
"Lord Yulian, you are..."
At the study door, Yulian was stopped by a servant.
To the servant, the hurried Yulian seemed quite like someone with ill intentions.
He hadn't even received a notification that someone wanted to see the City Lord!
Shadows lurked all around.
If there weren't few people coming, Yulian might have already been taken down on the spot!
"I'm looking for the City Lord."
Yulian threw out the City Lord's token and pushed the door open directly.
However, he didn't notice the smirk of success in the servant's sinister eyes.
"City Lord! Lord..."
Yulian was stunned.
Dragufil was indeed in the study at this moment, but he was quietly slumped over the luxurious desk, already lifeless.
He was dead.
Dragufil, who had shown a relaxed expression just a few days ago because the old king didn't have much time left, was dead at this moment.
Yulian even found that the bracelet he had given him was still intact and worn on his right hand at this moment.
"Someone!"
"Catch the assassin!"
Things had reached this point, and the servant stopped pretending, shouting out Yulian's crime!
When Yulian turned back to look, he saw dozens of nobles, big and small, already on the stone bridge not far from the study, looking at him with sneers.
And leading them was that handsome man!
"Kill him on the spot!"
Enoc Caven waved his hand, and his past resentment towards Yulian completely erupted at this moment!
Having gained Dragufil's trust, although he was an undercover agent, he was originally all-powerful in the Holy Capital, second only to one person!
But it was because Yulian had made him have to tuck his tail between his legs and endure for a whole month!
This month, he could barely sleep at night, terrified that Yulian would find him and chop him down the next second!
And now, finally, he had received notification from the Second Prince that he could act!
He couldn't wait to unite with the nobles in the city and carry out this operation!
As the City Lord's trusted subordinate, Enoc Caven waved his hand at this moment!
Instantly, shadows surged, and dozens of Mages had already surrounded the study!
Without exception, they were all high-level magic users!
Yulian sensed no less than five second-level magic users alone!
There were countless Third and Fourth Class Mages pouring in from all parts of the City Lord's Mansion!
Such terrifying power!
"But even such a powerful force couldn't protect you?"
Yulian already knew who had done it.
Only, everything was already too late.
"Kill him quickly!"
The servant roared, his face filled with bizarre anger.
The next second, before the Mages could act, Yulian was the first to kick the servant flying and retrieve the token he had just thrown over.
"Nobody move!"
Yulian held up the City Lord's order high, his eyes gleaming with coldness.
The Mages hesitated with their raised staffs, and ultimately did not cast Magic.
"What are you doing? Don't just stand there, act!"
Enoc Caven's eyebrow twitched, thinking inwardly, 'This is bad.'
These killing machines were very effective, but too rigid!
Even he hadn't expected before that Yulian could stabilize the situation with such a move!
"It worked?"
Yulian was also very surprised, and immediately showed an impolite expression on his face.
"Kill them for me."
Yulian's gaze swept towards the nobles, and wherever his eyes passed, the nobles were all terrified and showed expressions of fear!
Unfortunately, being rigid didn't mean the Mages were stupid.
The gazes of the many Mages gathered on the Mage in the dark robe.
The latter quietly glanced at the study, then his entire body turned into a shadow and submerged back into the darkness.
One, two, seeing this, the numerous Mages silently disappeared outside the study.
"This..."
Enoc Caven and the nobles exchanged glances with Yulian.
This was a turn of events they had not anticipated.
