Li Aili's heart skipped a beat. "How is Arthur?"
The Sphinx continued, "Tonight someone will launch a surprise attack on the castle."
As the effects of the calming drug wore off, Li Aili felt her heart begin to race.
She instinctively searched for her spatial ring, only to find that the forced calming potion was all used up.
Li Aili took a deep breath, "Do you know roughly when?"
Sphinx said, "In the picture, the moon is directly above the castle."
"Many people died in the castle..."
Li Aili glanced at the moon in the sky subconsciously.
The moon was currently to the left of the castle, slowly moving towards the center.

Li Aili noticed that two rows of cages had been built here.
There are many people locked in the cage.
Having been deprived of sunlight for so long, the moment they saw the light, they all huddled in the corner of their cages.
Some even plunged headfirst into the damp, smelly haystacks.
“They are all assassins captured during this period,” Conrad explained.
After passing through the dark cell and a bloodstained interrogation room, Li Aili's palms were covered in cold sweat as she followed Conrad to a dark door.
Conrad took a deep breath. "Madam, please wait until the master returns if you have any questions."
He pushed open the heavy door engraved with a metal magic circle. "Please stay here and don't come out until the commotion in the castle tonight is over."
