"A monster that speaks human language, how is that possible?"

Cohen also felt very absurd when he heard the words of the knight captain. Monsters are monsters, how can they speak human language?

In Cohen's impression, aren't these monsters just a group of livestock?

Violent and bloodthirsty.

How could they speak?

"Let's go and see this guy first."

"Your Highness, that man has been saying that he is from the church. What if the church comes to ask for him..."

"Don't worry about it. My father has told me that he must stay in our hands before the investigation is clear!"

Cohen said directly, which was also the confidence given to him by his father!

Hearing this, the knight captain was relieved.

Although he is from the empire, he doesn't want to offend the church.

But he is also relieved by the presence of His Majesty and the prince.

Cohen and his party walked into the town.

The blood on the ground had already dried up, and large patches of dark red had not been dealt with in time.

Not only that, the remains of corpses can be seen everywhere.

"Are there any abnormal situations in the past few days?"

"Are there any more monsters coming out?"

Maybe he looked at the knight captain beside him and asked.

"Your Highness, there has been no abnormality in the past few days, but the strange thing is that after we entered the Dark Forest, we didn't see any monsters anymore, as if they disappeared out of thin air."

"The monsters disappeared? Did you enter the periphery of the Dark Forest?"

"Yes, normally you can see many low-level monsters in the periphery of the Dark Forest? But we didn't find any."

The knight captain nodded and said.

"This matter should also be recorded."

Cohen nodded and said.

After a while, the group arrived at the prison in the town.

There were two knights from the Knights' Order standing at the door of the prison.

Seeing that it was His Highness Cohen who came in person, he immediately saluted respectfully.

As the strong door was slowly pushed open.

The sun also sprinkled into the dark prison.

The Knight Commander led Cohen to the innermost cell of the prison.

Ship looked around to make sure the surroundings were safe enough.

His mission this time was to protect Cohen's safety.

And suddenly at this time.

"Let me out quickly, the monster will be here soon! We will all die here!"

"If we don't leave, we will definitely end up like those people outside."

"If you want to die, don't drag me!"

.....

Cohen frowned and listened to the voice coming from inside.

"Has this person always been like this?"

Cohen asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, when this person was caught, he kept muttering in his mouth, saying that he was going to die and run away quickly."

"And he also said that there is a magic beast that can speak human language and can command other magic beasts!"

The Knight Captain also said truthfully.

"Let's go and take a look."

Creaky--

The iron door was slowly pushed open.

"Let me out quickly."

Hubert saw someone coming and thought it was the knights just now. He stretched out his hand from the iron cage and wanted to catch the knight.

But his fat body was destined to not be able to squeeze out of the gap in the iron bars.

It was Cohen's voice that came the next second.

"President Hubert, right?"

Then, an oil lamp was lit.

It illuminated the dark cell.

Hubert also saw the person in front of him clearly with the help of the oil lamp.

The person in front of him was not wearing armor, but a gorgeous robe.

And most importantly, the medal on his chest showed his royal identity.

Take a look at this person's appearance.

Hubert's pupils shrank suddenly.

He looked at the man in front of him with great surprise.

"You.... You are Cohen... His Highness?!"

Hubert looked at the young man in front of him and guessed his identity in an instant.

"President Hubert, I was sent by His Majesty to deal with this matter."

Cohen nodded and said to Hubert.

"Your Majesty? His Majesty the Emperor? What about the church? I...I want to go back to the church!"

"I am a member of the church. If something goes wrong, the church should interrogate me."

Hubert was a little flustered when he heard that the emperor asked him to come.

"President Hubert, you may not be able to go back to the church for the time being, and the church will not come to pick you up for the time being."

Cohen smiled slightly when he heard Hubert use the church to pressure him.

"What? This is impossible. Our church has already made an agreement with your empire. This is impossible..."

Hubert did not believe in the church and just left himself here.

"If you don't believeIf you don't know, you can just wait."

"My father has already personally gone to your Pope for this matter."

"What?!"

When Hubert heard this, the strength he had in shaking the iron bars just now disappeared instantly and he sat down on the ground.

"So now you can't expect the church to send someone to save you. Tell me, what happened at that time? Why did you escape alone?"

"The rest of the people in the town died!"

Seeing Hubert sitting on the ground powerlessly, Cohen continued to ask with satisfaction.

"I... I don't know... It's just that suddenly the monsters rushed towards the town like a tide, and we were not prepared at all..."

"Those monsters seemed to be crazy. They usually couldn't attack people like this, but I don't know why... Those monsters suddenly became like this..."

Hubert sat on the ground and said at a loss.

"Then why are you okay? ”

“I…Ange…was the president of the Adventurer’s Guild…and wanted me to activate the church’s teleportation array and teleport away…but…but…I don’t know why it failed.”

“Then I hid…and just escaped…”

Hubert avoided looking at Cohen.

“I hid and escaped.”

Such a statement obviously did not stand up to scrutiny. Cohen also realized that Hubert must be hiding something from them.

But Cohen was not going to expose him directly.

Instead, he continued to ask.

“How did you escape? Let’s not talk about explaining the magic barrier for now!”

“Magic…magic barrier?!”

Hubert looked up at Cohen in surprise, but regained his composure after a few seconds.

“This matter…I really don’t know…the magic barrier in the dark forest had disappeared before I came here to take up my post.”

Hubert looked at Cohen and said truthfully.

“Then why did the magic barrier disappear! "

"I...I really don't know...It may be that the power of the magic barrier has weakened over the years and then disappeared."

"Your Highness, this matter really has nothing to do with me. If you don't believe it, you can ask the church!"

When Cohen heard Hubert's words, he knew nothing and said nonsense.

Just when Cohen wanted to get up and leave.

Hubert excitedly grabbed the iron bars and came over and said.

"But your majesty...Listen to me, let's leave here now, otherwise we will all die here!"
