Chapter 75
The place where the flames were soaring into the sky was naturally the grove behind Princes Manor.

Sissy frowned and said worriedly, "Will it burn to our side?"

"Don't worry." Holding a glass of wine, Hardy said calmly: "It's several streets away, if it really needs to be burned, it will take at least tomorrow to get here."

Mrs. Sissy gave Hardy a white look: "How can you say such sarcastic remarks."

Hardy smiled and said, "It's true, not to mention that this kind of fire is usually dealt with by a magician."

"That's true." Mrs. Sissy nodded.

As a profession of magician, I usually like to stay in a quiet place and study magic theory at home.

But there are still some 'born' magicians who run around, and some are recruited by the royal family and become court magicians.

Sure enough, a few black shadows flew into the air and arrived at the scene of the fire soon.

Then there was a small-scale torrential rain.

The fire was quickly contained.

Seeing this, Mrs. Sissy went back to her room to sleep, and Hardy also went back to the barracks to rest.

On the second day, the situation was fine, and the whole of Boris was still calm.

But on the third day, news came out.

Prince Eckerd is missing.

The whole city exploded.

As one of the heirs of the Eckerd family, Prince is also considered to be favored, and he is quite capable and can make a lot of money, which relieves a lot of pressure on the Eckerd family's economy.

Then the whole city was searched for Prince.

Hardy stayed in the manor of the Jeanne family, as immobile as a mountain.

The only clue to suspect him was the valet named 'Saxton', because he was responsible for helping to deliver the letter.

But even that is just suspicion.

After all, outsiders do not know the content of the letter. On the surface, Hardy and Prince have 'no enmity', and the relationship is good. He has no 'reason' to kill Prince.

This is the benefit of Hardy's never revealing his 'purpose' for coming to Wangcheng.

Of course, if someone really wanted to trouble him, this would be an excellent opportunity.

It's just that at that time, Hardy was not so easy to talk to.

In the past two days, Hardy has been living a life of 'no competition' in Jeanne's manor, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible.

Generally speaking, if you want to get rid of the suspicion of killing yourself, you must not do stupid things like 'the more dangerous the place, the safer'.

Don't jump around in front of the 'profilers', don't come into the sight of any profilers, let them notice you.

In the past two days, Hardy and Mrs. Sissy chatted frequently, and they got to know each other a lot.

Women are not very good at enduring loneliness, and so is Mrs. Sissy.

Hardy is handsome, nice-sounding, and very knowledgeable. He always gives Mrs. Sissy the feeling that he is a high-end version of "Tiaotiao".

Chatting with Hardy is getting more and more fun.

Then on the fourth day, a group of people suddenly appeared outside the gate of Jeanne Manor.

The leader was Peter Clovis.

He sat on a tall horse, looked down at Hardy, and said with a smug smile, "In the name of the prosecutor, I arrest you, the murderer, Hardy!"

The Clovis family is indeed mainly responsible for the security of the royal city.

At this time, Enolyn and Dora were socializing outside, and there were only Mrs. Sissy, Mrs. Anna, and Hardy at home.

Hardy smiled disdainfully: "Peter Clovis, if you want to frame me, just say so."

"Then tell me, where were you when Prince disappeared?"

Hardy sneered: "I heard a very powerful philosopher say that you should never defend yourself, otherwise you will never be able to clear the suspicion. If you want to arrest me, you have to show the evidence first, otherwise I will think you are slandering me. Do you want to have a knight duel?"

While talking, he took out the white gloves he had prepared two days ago and threw them on the ground.

Looking at the white gloves falling on the ground, Peter Clovis looked a little ugly.

He is very confident in his own strength, but he doesn't know exactly what Hardy's strength is.

At this moment, Madam Sissy also came out, followed by twenty full-armored sword-shield warriors in red cloaks.

This is the famous "dead man" in the Jeanna family.

"Peter Clovis?" Mrs. Sissy is usually dignified and gentle, but now she is full of majesty: "If you want to find out the cause of Prince's death, go and find out. Don't come to our house to make trouble, otherwise I don't mind arresting you in the manor now and locking you up for a while."

Seeing Mrs. Sissy's cold expression, Peter Clovis felt a little guilty. He snorted and looked at Hardy again.

Hardy deliberately looked at Peter Clovis with a complacent and arrogant attitude.

"You're lucky! You're protected." Peter Clovis snorted.

Hardy said with a smile: "Then you are out of luck. Don't let me see you when you go shopping in the future. Once I see you, I will throw your white gloves once. Let's see how many times you can refuse!"

Peter Clovis turned green thinking of that scene.

People want face, if Hardy throws white gloves every day, and then fights every day, will he still be able to gain a foothold in front of others in the future?

"Don't overdo it!" Peter Clovis said through gritted teeth.

"Who was the first to go too far?" Hardy squinted his eyes and smiled, "I said earlier that our barbarians in River Stream County are not as gentle as your royal family of Boris."

Madam Sissy almost laughed out loud when she heard this.

It was hard to hold back, and the northern hemisphere seemed to grow bigger.

"What do you want?"

Hardy said with a smile: "If you don't pay some compensation, this matter will not go away."

"One hundred gold coins, I will have someone deliver them before evening."

Hardy nodded: "It's okay, this matter is over. And... don't let this happen again, or I won't be so easy to talk about next time."

Hardy flicked his fingers, and a circle of blue flames surrounded Peter Clovis.

The horse was so frightened that it jumped around and almost threw Peter Kloss off the horse.

Then Hardy pressed down with one hand, and the blue magic flame disappeared.

Peter Clovis took a deep look at Hardy, turned around and walked away in embarrassment.

A small disturbance was resolved in this way.

Mrs. Sissy returned to the garden and scolded angrily: "It seems that the Lions faction still want me to let the Na family die. Whenever they have the opportunity, they will start to make small moves."

"It's normal." Hardy said with a smile: "Besides, Peter Clovis himself has a little friction with me."

At this time, Mrs. Sissy looked at Hardy, her eyes were full of curiosity: "You actually know magic, and it looks quite powerful. You should have practiced for a long time. Why didn't you show it before!"

Hardy asked, "Why does it have to be revealed?"

"If Karina knew how powerful you are, she might have chosen you." Mrs. Sissy said with regret on her face, "Actually, I personally hope Karina is with you more."
