Chapter 964: 562 Clown
"?"
Not getting Li Ang's reply, but instead seeing a hint of pity in his eyes, the child version of Prince Andre frowned, then continued:
"Regarding the current situation, you should be able to guess a part of it. The world before you is drawn by me according to my own memory, and with your current ability, there is no possibility of breaking it and escaping."
"So what?"
Li Ang raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
"You telling me this, are you preparing to make me give up resistance, or do you want me to surrender to you directly?"
"No need, I don't care about those."
Prince Andre shook his head, then reached out and pointed at the green-eyed girl protected by Li Ang, saying sincerely:
"I only want Fei Liya. If you return her to me, I can let you leave here directly."
"Brother Andre..."
After listening to Prince Andre's "simple" request, a look of emotion appeared in the green-eyed girl's eyes, and she wanted to walk out from behind Li Ang, however...
"This doesn't seem right, does it?"
After reaching out and grabbing Fei Liya's collar and pulling her back behind him, Li Ang stared at the green eyes of the child prince and said:
"There are only you and her left among the members of the Kroke royal family. If she is also handed over to you, once the Kroke royal bloodline is severed, the effectiveness of the Watchtower Palace will decline, and my mission will be a complete failure."
"That's your business."
After listening to Li Ang's reply, Prince Andre frowned slightly, then said with a somewhat cold expression:
"The strength of the Watchtower Palace's effectiveness has nothing to do with me, nor does it have anything to do with the Kroke royal family. Neither I nor the Kroke royal family have the responsibility to maintain the effectiveness of the Watchtower Palace for the Cleaning Bureau."
"As for your mission... Lord Li Ang, I hope you can understand that I am willing to stand here and discuss with you, just because I don't want to fight you in this world, so as not to dirty my painting, not because I don't have the ability to deal with you."
"Now I am willing to let you and that Director Edward leave, so you had better agree to it and don't continue to challenge my patience, otherwise the final result will definitely be something neither of us wants to see."
"Hmm, hmm."
After nodding noncommittally, Li Ang grabbed the struggling Fei Liya, narrowed his eyes, and asked:
"Compared to completing the Cleaning Bureau's mission, I do care more about my own safety. This deal is not impossible, but how can I be sure that after returning Princess Fei Liya to you, you will really let Director Edward and me leave?"
"After all, I am trapped in the painting you drew right now, and Her Highness Fei Liya is my only trump card. If you were just bluffing me just now, and took action against Director Edward and me immediately after taking her away, what should I do then?"
Prince Andre frowned upon hearing this, and said impatiently:
"Speak directly, what do you want to do?"
"I want an insurance policy."
Li Ang raised the 【Silver Cutting Dagger】 in his hand, gestured at Fei Liya's forehead, and then proposed sincerely:
"To ensure that Your Highness will not go back on your word, I can return half of Her Highness Fei Liya to you first. As for the other half, I will return it to you after Director Edward and I are safe... hmm... do you want the left half or the right half?"
"?!!!"
After listening to Li Ang's proposal, looking at the cold, flashing dagger on her forehead, the green-eyed girl, who had been struggling constantly, immediately became obedient, not daring to move at all, and began to wink frantically at Prince Andre.
Don't! I don't want to be split in half vertically! You must not agree to him!
"..."
"If you don't want to talk, then forget it."
After looking at the 【Silver Cutting Dagger】 held tightly in Li Ang's hand, Prince Andre, understanding that he had already rejected the conditions he proposed, was silent for a while, then looked up and said with a blank expression:
"Although I don't want to dirty this painting, since you don't agree to my conditions, there's no other way... Goodbye, I hope you won't regret it later."
After leaving behind an inexplicable threat, the child version of Andre trembled slightly, as if something had been extracted from his body. The eyes that had been slightly angry returned to the clear appearance of not having been polluted by knowledge.
"Eh?"
After looking at Li Ang in front of him in surprise, the child prince hugged the leather ball, scratched the back of his head in confusion, and asked with a face full of puzzlement:
"Who are you..."
"The assassin who killed you."
After casually replying to the little Andre, Li Ang rushed forward fiercely, grabbed the startled Andre, and stabbed him seven or eight times in a row on his body.
"Your Highness?!!!"
Seeing this sudden scene, the guard captain, who had been watching covetously from afar, was stunned. His eyes suddenly became bloodshot, and he crawled over, wanting to snatch Prince Andre back from the "assassin" to see if there was any salvation, however...
"So amazing!"
Touching his body that had been stabbed seven or eight times in a row but didn't have a single wound, the child prince couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise, threw away the leather ball, clapped his hands vigorously, and then asked excitedly:
"Are you a magician? Your knife has a mechanism, it can retract when it touches people, or the knife is soft! Did I guess right?"
"Wrong."
After letting the child prince touch the blade of the 【Silver Cutting Dagger】 and letting him confirm the condition of the blade himself, Li Ang looked at the intact clothes on the child prince's body and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Not only is the "canvas" uncuttable, but even the "content" and "characters" of the painting are uncuttable. Except for the place directly touching the blade, any place cut open will instantly close.
It seems that Prince Andre's ability to paint really restrains him to the extreme. Director Edward's judgment was completely correct. In this kind of battle where he couldn't see the opponent's main body, he was indeed not good at dealing with it.
And just when Li Ang was secretly worried, seeing Prince Andre, who had no wounds on his body and was curiously studying the small knife, the tall guard captain who had rushed halfway breathed a long sigh of relief, then staggered two steps and held onto the sculpture next to him as if he were exhausted.
Damn... this stinky magician, I will beat you once every time I see you in the future!
After glaring at Li Ang fiercely, looking at Prince Andre, who was grabbing Li Ang's arm and stabbing him again and again with the knife, the guard captain, who was still in shock, gasped for breath, then hurriedly rushed over and persuaded him earnestly:
"Prince Andre, these people are suspicious, you had better..."
"Hmm?"
Hearing the guard captain's advice, the child prince blinked in surprise, then pointed to Li Ang's red, round nose and the colorful oil paint on his face, and asked in confusion:
"Where is it suspicious? Isn't he the clown from the circus troupe invited by Father, responsible for livening up the atmosphere?"
"???"
This time it was Li Ang's turn to be surprised. Looking at the big red nose that suddenly appeared in his field of vision, Li Ang, whose eyes widened suddenly, hadn't even had time to speak when he felt his clothes sink suddenly.
It seemed like an invisible giant paintbrush, fully soaked in carefully blended colorful paint, had smeared twice on his clothes, painting his newly changed black wool coat into a clown suit full of vertical colorful stripes and groups of colorful blocks.
Immediately afterward, a somewhat confused circus life, carrying quite exquisite juggling skills, rushed into Li Ang's mind. The corners of his mouth, which had been tight, habitually curled up, revealing a bright and formulaic big smile.
"..."
Holy crap, this time I really became a magician! ===== CHAPTER 965 =====
