The Magic Thief Chapter 20:
Flowers cover the most prosperous avenues of Monach. The colorful petals are the best decorations of this season, and the fragrance in the air is also refreshing.
Whether it’s the town hall square or the cathedral, you can see a curtain made of red silk everywhere, and on the main road, an arched flying bridge is pulled up every few meters. The top is embellished and decorated with sparkling silk and golden tassels.
On the eaves of each building, you can see wind chimes of different colors. These wind chimes make a crisp and sweet sound under the breeze.
The sound of wind chimes mixed in the majestic march makes a very peculiar feeling.
The avenue decorated with flowers and silk stretches to the bank of the river a few kilometers away from Monach. At this moment, there is a magnificent ship, covered with exquisite carvings and painted with gold paint, docking on the pier.
An unusually tall elder is standing on the side of the ship. He is waiting for the guard officer to lay the long red felt blanket under his feet.
The long red felt carpet is connected to the pier along the gangway. At this moment, the entire pier is covered with red felt carpets. The felt carpets are filled with all the nobles from Derry to the southern counties and provinces of the kingdom. .
The aristocrats who are usually lofty here appear humble and cautious, because compared with the people around them, perhaps their identities are no longer noble.
At this moment, all earls who can stand on the dock must have important positions. Ordinary earls can only stand on the periphery, and those viscounts and barons can only stand on both sides of the road to welcome them. They kept shaking their hands. Colorful flags, and this should be the job of servants and attendants.
The group of princes stood at the place closest to the ship, and the front was the prince. Prince Henry was the only person who didn't need to show respect.
Standing behind Prince Henry is Grand Duke Fors. Although Grand Duke Fors may not be more noble than the other princes, he is the master here after all.
Suddenly the band played a majestic march. The tall imperial minister walked down the gangway at a mighty and majestic pace, and looked at his majestic frame. In the distance, Ruibo couldn’t control it. This tall old man is side by side with the rumored Mr. Haohao.
Behind the old man followed another old man. The old man also looked quite tall, but not as burly as the old man in front. He had a cold and handsome face with almost no smile, this old man. Ripple feels worthy of his name. His appearance looks like a rock, and his stubbornness can also be imagined.
On the long gangway, there are only these two old men. At the end of the gangway, the attendants have already been waiting there, but none of them dared to **** the scenery of the two adults. Obviously, they are as good as the kingdom. Reflected in the order of disembarkation.
Almost subconsciously, Ribo glanced at the surface of the water under the gangway. The skills he learned from Kellle made him find the most suitable hiding place in an instant. If one day he has to kill someone The great figures in the Derry Kingdom will definitely choose the moment they disembark.
As the march turned into a welcome song, the ceremony of welcoming the imperial ministers officially began. At this moment, the attendants stepped off the gangway one by one, and Ribo focused his attention on a young man.
The young man is wearing a clerk’s clothes, a blue blouse on the upper body, a pair of high-knee leggings on the lower body, and a clerk’s square hat on his head, the only proof that he is ordinary The only difference in the waiter was the green ribbon slung over his shoulder.
Unexpectedly, the teenager looked very shy, his handsome face was slightly flushed, and even made people misunderstand that he was a girl.
Like most Tribes, he looks slightly taller than Ribo, which makes Ribo feel a little jealous. In fact, he has always been very envious of the figure of the prince.
Compared with those big people, these attendants were obviously not so restrained and serious. They quickly mixed into the crowd. The boy also squeezed into a group of noble boys. Obviously, the same age was what attracted him.
It was also for this reason that Ribo dispelled the idea of approaching the boy at this moment, because he knew very well that his appearance would make the boys scatter like a chick seeing a harrier.
Ribo stood on the hillside in the distance and waited quietly for the opportunity. He recalled the information about the young man over and over again in his mind. These information came from the hands of the Count Komilan, and the same is true. He let himself know what the stubborn old man thinks about the alliance.
At this moment, Ruibo is more and more fortunate to have such an ally. Perhaps he is a complete scum, but this chameleon-like guy undoubtedly has incomparable value.
The pier was busy and noisy, while Ruibo waited quietly on this lonely hillside alone.
Today, everyone has their own duties, and his duty is to approach and guide the young man.
Looking at the intimate and warm welcome ceremony on the pier, Ruibo Weiwei was a little surprised. The prince was a very good actor, which he knew well, but the Grand Duke Foss also performed It really made him feel a little unbelievable to be so calm.
A gap appeared in the crowded crowd, and the big figures flocked to each other through the gap of the narrow crowd and walked outside. There had already been parked a number of beautifully decorated and luxurious carriages, wearing Well-dressed attendants guarded both sides of the carriage.
If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that the original target has already been lost in the crowd, but under the training of the killer king, Ruibo has a pair of sharp eyes that can match the harrier. The young man in was always under his close attention, and he didn't even miss any subtle movements of that young man.
Seeing the boy gradually leaving his peers, watching him return to his own line, Ribo walked down the mountain. This is when he is alone with the boy
There is a row of carriages parked at the foot of the mountain without special decoration, but the shiny dark brown paint looks quite comfortable.
Those carriages were prepared for the entourage of the imperial entourage, but they could also be used by Monach’s municipal officials. At this moment, Ribo was sitting on one of the carriages. His clothes made him look like It's like a city official brought a kid to watch the fun.
Ribo sits at the window as if he is enjoying the scenery outside, but he is actually waiting for the boy to open the car door. This is the guidance given by Master Ogg just a moment ago with his eyes that can see through the future. , That young man's body was also shrouded in powerful magic, which seemed to confirm the extraordinary identity of this young man.
"Ah! I didn't expect that there were already people here." A tender voice suddenly came from behind.
Ribo turned his head pretentiously. He glanced at the boy, smiled slightly and said, "There is no one else here. If you want, we might as well ride in the same carriage."
The young man obviously hesitated, but Ribo’s age finally dispelled his worries. He carried a heavy suitcase. The young man boarded the carriage. Riboxin took the suitcase and stuffed it into the top of the seat. In the bar.
"Thank you very much for your help. Are you here to watch the welcome ceremony?" The young man thanked him politely. The education he possessed made Ruibo feel a touch of goodwill, even in this country full of military flavor. He is a teenager, and he can always see high-spirited characters. The only person who has given him a good impression before that is probably only the son of Grand Duke Fors, Mark.
"Yes." Ribo replied with a smile, and he showed a relaxed smile that was already forgotten.
"Are you just coming by yourself, no adults to follow?" the young man asked.
These words made Ribo feel even more fond of him. This boy is a bit like himself at the beginning. Suddenly Ribo felt a strong irony in his heart. He felt that what he was doing was exactly what he was doing back then. The work of the little thief who has completely changed his own destiny.
"You can say that." Ribo gave an ambiguous answer.
"Then why don't you stay with an adult? Why are you sitting on the carriage alone?" The boy asked again, which made Ruibo look more and more like himself.
"Others left in other carriages. It is not convenient for me to appear on their carriages." Ribo said indifferently. This is not a complete lie.
"It's nice to be able to ride in the same carriage with you. Everyone calls me New. You can call me like that. How about you?" the boy said with a friendly smile.
"Call me Ribo." Ribo said.
At this moment, the door of the car was opened again. A tall young man was standing at the door of the car with two huge suitcases in his hands. He looked at Ruibo and said to the teenager next to him: "New, help, these files are too heavy."
The young man quickly took a suitcase that was handed over, and he stuffed the suitcase under the table.
"This is Volenck." The boy pointed to the tall young man and said, "This is Ribo."
Throwing another suitcase on the opposite seat, the tall boy smiled and said, "Hello, Ruibo, are you from Monach?"
Hearing this sentence, Ruibo didn't know whether he should say that the young man's observational power was too bad, or whether he had become more and more accustomed to his inhuman demeanor and language, so he was already difficult to detect as a foreigner.
"Ah! No, my hometown is a small town farther south." Ribo said in a letter, and this time he didn't lie either.
"What are those jars on your body for?" the teenager asked suddenly, and from his eyes, he had been curious about this matter for a long time.
"There are some powders in it, very useful but extremely dangerous. A little bit is a life-saving medicine, but as long as the amount is not properly grasped, it will be fatal." Ribo said, he still did not lie.
"Then why are you carrying this kind of potion that I have never heard of? Do you get hurt often?" the boy asked again.
"Well, New, you are always disgusting like this." The tall young man fiddled with the boy's head and said, "Don't take it to heart, this guy is always like this."
"It doesn't matter, I used to be like this." Ribo smiled and said, this time he did tell the truth.
This sentence obviously narrowed his distance in the mind of the young man.
At this moment, the door of the car was opened again, but the man at the door saw Ribo among the people sitting on the carriage, and immediately became a little flustered involuntarily. He quickly closed the door and turned straight towards Another carriage went.
"What's wrong with this guy, I was surprised." Falenk asked puzzledly.
"He doesn't seem to be on our boat." Young New Zealand said
The carriage drove along the flat road towards the city, and the gorgeous and fragrant flowers on both sides of the road along the way surprised the two riders.
"I heard that Monach has the best weapon craftsman, but I really hope to be able to customize a long sword." The tall young man said excitedly.
"Flenk is a very good swordsman, and his teacher is Lord Shiwode, the court master of swordsmanship." New hurriedly explained.
"I know a very good weapon builder, I can introduce him to you." Ribo said in a letter.
"Oh--thank you for your kindness, my friend, but the grandson of Duke Firth, Xiun, has already recommended another gentleman to me." Falenk said with a smile.
"With superb swordsmanship, what are your plans? Become an officer?" Ribo asked, because he knew that an officer was a very glorious and promising career for the Drizhi people.
"No, Volenck's father is the deputy commander of the Knights of the Third Corps. He is already a knight trainee at the moment. This time he is on the tour as a member of the guard." New said.
Hearing this identity, Ribo could only secretly pray for this cheerful man, hoping that he would not lose his life in the upcoming "accident".
At this moment, he finally understands why both Eckert and Kelller warned him that the most important thing in this line is to be cruel and ruthless. Ribo can't guess that if he met these two people half a year ago, Will you have feelings for them? Will it imply that they may be in danger?
"Becoming a knight does have a bright future. Congratulations, my friend." Ribo said, but his tone did not appear to be as surprised as it should be.
"It seems that you are not a simple character either." Falenk said with a smile indifferently: "Apart from New Zealand on the boat, no one who is about my age does not feel envious."
"Then New Zealand's identity is quite superb." Ribo said calmly.
"Oh—his mother's Duke Kane’s most beloved sister, based on this, you should be able to imagine how fragile he will be, and his father is also Palin’s famous family, and his family has Known for a lot of wealth." Falenk said.
"No, I don't want to always be mentioned about my famous uncle, nor do I want to rely on the family to get others' approval, and in my opinion all of this just keeps me lonely." New York obviously has some Said displeasedly.
"I believe Ribo will never be alienated from you because of this. I didn't even see how much he reacted to it." Falenk said quickly.
"I am really full of envy and jealousy for New York, and in fact the same for you, but what I am jealous of is not your great future, but that you all have the love of your parents." Ribo said indifferently: " Just like New, loneliness has always been with me. I have almost no friends of the same age. Apart from a young lady, the closest thing to me is my respectable guardian, my tutor and bodyguard. "
"My family also has endless wealth, but this wealth has brought bad luck to my family as if it has been cast a vicious curse. As a result, my grandfather and two uncles died one after another, and my parents were also plagued. I died in the midst of illness and disease, and I had to carry these terrible potions at any time. They have saved my life in extreme danger countless times."
"Oh—I’m very sorry for reminding you of these unpleasant pasts. I can see that all of this has hurt you hard to heal. In fact, I’ve been wondering that you seem to lack emotions. I am not surprised at the identity of New Zealand." Falenk said solemnly.
"This may be a reason, but more factors come from my respectable guardian’s teaching to me. He told me that a person’s status is not important. What really matters is his position. , And how much contribution he has made and can make."
Speaking of this, Ruibo glanced at the shy teenager next to him with a cohesive gaze. This was also what Mr. Hyde had done back then.
"Of course, the higher a person's status, the more positions he can choose, and the greater the contribution he can make as long as he is willing, and wealth and praise are the best rewards."
Ribo’s words are obviously not easy to understand for the other two people. The two people looked at Ribo in a daze. After a while, Volenke suddenly burst into laughter and said: "You really make me feel It’s an accident. You look like an elderly man, even talking."
Ribo didn't try to refute, he just smiled indifferently.
At this time, the carriage has already drove up the ramp that leads straight to the Town Hall Square. The street from here to the Town Hall Square is covered with bright red carpets and dressed in bright chests for two kilometers. A. The burly and tall soldiers hold beautifully decorated ceremonial swords in their hands, and the silver-plated sword body seems to be flowing with a layer of sunlight.
Behind the soldiers are people waving colorful flags. This is the only time they don't need to bow and salute respectfully, so they waved the flags quite vigorously.
Riding on this long bright red carpet, this long string of carriages didn’t make much noise. Looking at the crushed red carpet underfoot, Ruibo didn’t know whether this should be regarded as something. Li Zhi is more extravagant proof than Francis.
The carriages at the forefront of the queue drove straight towards the Town Hall Square surrounded by a group of cavalry, while the carriage in which Ribo was riding was a few hundred meters away from the square with other carriages. Turned into the side street.
This street has also been repainted, but it is not decorated as grandly as the Town Hall Square.
The first one to get out of the carriage was Volenck near the door. He still carried the two heavy suitcases. At the moment after that, he seemed to have nothing to do with the ordinary servants. Different.
No one will deliberately pay attention to these two humble little people, but when Ribo gets out of the carriage, the situation is completely different.
"Oh—honourable envoy, why are you condescending to ride this carriage, Prince Henry has already reserved a place for you on the carriage of Prince Henry." The two officials who were in charge of entertaining the guests immediately surrounded him. After coming, their expressions can only be described as sincere and fearful.
"You should have heard that I don’t like these red tapes. I go to the pier just to see the excitement. I never take a big boat when I travel in France, and I never see that beautiful decoration in my hometown. The ship, that is simply an exquisite work of art, this time really opened my eyes.” Ruibo said with a smile, these words are reasonable, and also enough to conceal his intention to go to the pier.
"Special Envoy? I am getting more and more confused about your identity?" Falenk glanced at the respectful official, turning his head and saying to Ribo.
"Francé? Are you the special envoy sent by the Kingdom of Franco? It is rumored that you are a very powerful magician." New Zealand obviously knows more than the tall young man.
"There is never a distinction between magicians and magicians." Ribo smiled and said: "Where did you hear about me?"
"Oh-my uncle, Grand Duke Kane, takes you very seriously." New hurriedly replied.
Ribo noticed that the shy teenager quietly changed his name, which was not what he needed.
"Don't use you to call me, I believe that no matter how noble the status is, people need friends, call me Ribo." He said slowly.
"Wow-two big people, I'm really lucky to ride a carriage with two big people." Falenk said jokingly, but he immediately became serious: "No wonder you feel so strange for us. , Calm and mature than most people I have ever met."
"If you have had the same experience as mine, I believe you will become mature and mature." Ribo sighed and said, "There is nothing false about what I said on the carriage just now. You can swear for this. In the eyes of others, I seem to be very dazzling, but I am very envious of those my peers who have the warmth and love of their parents."
"Oh--do you mind telling us about your experience, you have always been a mystery in my mind." Curiosity obviously surpassed restraint, and New couldn't help saying.
"Well, if you are interested, this is not a secret anyway, almost everyone knows in France." Ribo said with a smile.
"I am interested, of course I am interested." Volenke also shouted loudly
While walking in a relatively secluded street next to him, Ribo talked about his past, about the grievances between him and His Majesty, and the series of conspiracies and plots, so that the two had never heard of it. All these young people become fascinated.
"Oh-this is really wonderful. This is almost a history of poetry. I am willing to exchange my second half of my life for such an adventure." Falenk said excitedly.
"This may be the thoughts of bystanders, but I have to face this series of adventures. At this moment, the force that pushes me to continue walking on this hard-to-see road ahead, except that I have no retreat, I am afraid Only the sentence sent to me by my guardian,'The higher a person's status, the more positions he can choose, and the greater the contribution he can make as long as he is willing.'"
"Fighting to defend your hometown, you are like a legendary hero." The shy teenager said excitedly, his eyes full of longing and hope at the moment.
"It's a pity, we don't have such talents, and we don't have such opportunities." Falenk sighed with a smile.
"It is not necessary that you can realize your value only by fighting." Ruibo said with a smile, and he was waiting to turn the topic into this direction, just like the legend of ancient heroes can affect countless people, and legends and honors can definitely be Hook his target firmly.
"Look more, listen more, think more, and you can see many extraordinary things in the ordinary. This is the teaching my guardian gave me, and it is this that makes me get rid of time and time again. And finally succeeded."
Speaking of Ribo, pointing to the distance: "Just like that, this is one of the most valuable things I have seen in the kingdom of Drizhi."
Following Ribo’s fingers, both New and Volenk opened their eyes and waited to see a miracle, but what they didn’t expect was that what they saw was just a simple piece of The signboard is a bit mottled, and the teak veneer on the outside has peeled off, revealing the pine lining inside.
"Oh-maybe the eyes of philosophers are a little different from those of us mortals, I only saw a shabby sign." Falenk said with a smile.
"I'm afraid there are still people in Derry using this method to make furniture." Ribo said.
"Yes, but it's not very popular. The poor may not be able to afford it. What's more, these veneers are far less reliable than wood, and the rich don't care about this kind of thing." Falenk said disapprovingly.
"The beauty of the famous and precious wood is only the price of pine. I believe that many merchants in France will fill their houses with such furniture. In addition to those housekeepers, small officials and other all kinds of people, they have money on hand. But people who are not enough to make them profligate, they also have a thirst for beauty and elegance, and a desire to show off vanity."
"I believe they will generously donate to these wood veneer furniture, because visitors will never saw the furniture in order to see if they are just wrapped in a thin veneer or carved from a whole piece of wood."
"This will become a lucrative business, but I am not really interested in these. Don’t forget that I have a vast territory, and there are countless poor people living there, and the sea routes are not enough to feed. Everyone, and life at sea is so dangerous. Every sailor has the experience of struggling with death."
"The number of people killed every year has never been less, but the most miserable thing is not those who died, but their wives and children. Saw wood must be safer than sailing at sea. Women and children can also Carrying out this work will not make them rich or even get rid of poverty, but at least it will enable them to survive."
"Let the children grow up in peace, and a broken family can attract hope. The thin veneer can do things that a saint can't do anything about. This is my duty as a lord."
Ribo said while staring at the two people around him. To his satisfaction, New’s eyes had changed from longing to admiration at the moment. Even Falunk looked serious. Obviously he was also affected by this. The words were deeply moved.
"I never thought that such a simple and humble thing could create such a miracle." New Zealand's eyes glowed and said: "The miracle of compassion comes from subtle observation and genius planning. I can't help thinking. See it all with your own eyes."
"Why don't you experiment in your own territory, didn't your father give you a manor?" Falenk said seriously, this time he was obviously not joking.
"Oh—I actually forgot about this. I have always been reluctant to rely on the family to gain other people’s approval. Because of this, I rarely go to my manor, and I never ask the servants and leaders in the manor. Give orders," said the shy boy.
"If this is the case, you'd better choose a suitable person before making an order. A good plan will make a bad executor ruined, and a good profit will shake a weak-willed person. The cruel squeezer is even more terrifying than poverty itself." Ruibo warned.
Not only New Zealand this time, even Volenke nodded involuntarily, apparently at this moment he was also convinced.
As they speak, they have already crossed the street. The castle of Archduke Frosh is right in front of them, but the thick crowd is blocked in front of them. The noisy and noisy sound proves that the imperial minister and his party have arrived.
The usual welcoming ceremony lasted for three hours, during which everyone also enjoyed a simple lunch. Obviously everyone planned to save their stomachs for the dinner. Because of this, the lunch seemed very short.
While enjoying lunch, both the host and the guests seemed a lot more relaxed. The only person with a broken face is probably the stubborn old man.
At this relaxing moment, everyone naturally began to talk, and the topic of the discussion was the Archduke Bashmon and his close artist friends that interest Ruibo the most.
Perhaps because most of the members of this trip are related to the Kane family, so the chat is full of contempt and ridicule for the Grand Duke of Bassemong. Hypocrites are heard from time to time, and even idiots and idiots can be heard. Scolding and mocking.
"Grand Duke Bashmun seems to be very unpopular." Ribo said with a smile.
"This may be a vent after being suppressed for too long, or perhaps it is proof that the taller the statue will become more broken once it falls." Falenk said disapprovingly.
"Yes! A few months ago, Archduke Bassemong was praised by the public for his funding of art and his door that was always open to scholars and artists, but now, almost everyone knows that artists It is not a complete one with scholars, and what the Grand Duke Bashmon funded is only a small part of it, and his door is only open to those people."
"But these people just don’t have real talents. Their love for art is obviously far less intense than their thirst for Jinyuan. In addition to lack of talent and wisdom, they don’t even have the grace they deserve. They died because of humiliation and have become Everyone’s laughter."
"What's more, it’s really shameful that those people who are trying to catch their reputation have used their flashy reputation to scavenge countless money, and the huge wealth is even more surprising. I’m afraid everyone already knows this. What a shameless nouveau riche is a savvy guy."
"And these upstarts obviously don’t have the broad minds of yours. Their immense wealth does not even bring any benefit to a poor man. Instead, in order to be able to enjoy this wealth forever, they are desperate to suppress the real talent. Of artists and scholars."
"The experience of the truly talented people is enough to arouse everyone’s sympathy, and their works are praised by everyone. In fact, before coming here, we were fortunate enough to see a wonderful performance, although The performers are just ordinary wandering entertainers. They didn't even recite the lines proficiently, but it was indeed an interesting performance. It was laughable, but after the laugh, there were a lot of memorable and contemplative things."
"Although I am not a critic, in my opinion, this kind of performance is far superior to those ‘artistic masterpieces’ that only have beautiful melody and gorgeous costumes."
"Now Palin’s streets and alleys are talking about the performance on Zhufeng Festival. It’s a pity that only imagination can be used to construct the grand occasion at that time. The contrast between the gorgeous costumes produced and the costumes worn by their opponents, I have seen the two things placed side by side with my own eyes. It is really hard to imagine that a performance in such costumes will have completely opposite results. The difference in strength can be imagined."
"It is also conceivable that those who are truly talented artists live in embarrassment. I heard that they can only enjoy dry bread and occasionally taste the leftover bacon in the store."
Hearing this, Ribo couldn't help laughing. This was not part of the plan he had made at the beginning. Obviously, the rumors added a lot of untrustworthy elements, but it also proved that his plan has been successful. The appearance of such rumors clearly proves that the people are already full of sympathy for the young artists, and the sympathy is undoubtedly the hatred for the nouveau riche.
Just as everyone was about to continue talking and laughing, suddenly there was a ringing in the distance, which was a signal that the luncheon was over, and the servants had already walked in, and some of them had almost untouched the delicacies on both sides. The delicacies are taken away, and some are responsible for collecting the dishes in the hands of the guests.
Ribo lightly took the dinner plates in New and Furenck’s hands, stacked them together and held them in his hand, but at this moment, most of his attention has actually been turned to the podium because of the real performance. Coming soon.
Suddenly a scream silenced the noisy auditorium, and as the scream remembered, everyone looked lost and panicked.
The crowd approaching the rostrum immediately fled in all directions, but the people on the periphery still didn't know what happened.
Suddenly another scream came from the fleeing crowd, this time with a low scream.
Another scream rang out, but this time the scream only rang and then suddenly stopped.
A panic-stricken scream followed, all of which only happened in a moment.
Ribo took out a scroll from his arms at the fastest speed. He shook the scroll abruptly, and he disappeared before everyone's eyes.
Looking at this incredible scene, the two peers who were still talking together just now were stunned. This is magic. It is what they have longed for and admired since childhood, and what they have envied. Too many people of their age can have all of this.
Noisy metal crashing and messy footsteps complement each other, and in this panic are the hysterical screams.
Derizhi women's strength is only relative, after all, when blood and death are in their eyes, they will feel fear and fear just like women in other countries.
A series of screams filled this luxurious and elegantly furnished auditorium, but the original laughter and joy have long since disappeared without a trace.
"Sergent, stop him." An angry shout came, followed by a series of metallic sounds.
"Don't panic, all lie on the ground." Another dull roar completely awakened the panic-filled people in the auditorium. The men first reacted. They took the lady next to them and helped them down. on the ground.
Now those who are still standing immediately become particularly conspicuous, except for the guards and knights, which are a group of murderers wearing servant clothes but holding sharp blades in their hands.
There was no block, and the battle was quickly controlled. In just a moment, these assassins were killed by the guards and knights. Although some people tried to capture a few prisoners, they even cut off their arms and legs. , And failed to save the lives of those assassins.
"They have very poisonous in their mouths." A guard said after inspecting one of the corpses.
"His Royal Highness, does your injury matter?" And a grand prince who had just woke up saw that His Royal Highness was covering his ribs, and bright red blood was flowing from the gap between his fingers, and he immediately Asked.
"It should be okay. Just call a priest to come. Fortunately, Foster stays vigilant. If he didn't take the shot in time, I'm afraid I would have become a corpse." The prince said.
While speaking, I saw the princess hurrying outside the door, followed by an elderly priest.
"Quickly, pray to your gods and let them bless my brother." The princess dragged the old man to Prince Henry's eyes and said.
"Oh-my God, the benevolent God Father, it is really hard to believe that it will be this kind of wound." The elderly clergyman just glanced at the wound on the prince's ribs and muttered to himself road.
"What did you find?" Prince Henry asked calmly.
"This--this--I really can't believe it. This is the damage caused by the bloodthirsty power. Only the weapons in the hands of the bloodthirsty warrior can create such wounds." The elderly man was shocked. Said.
"The important thing is whether you can be treated." The princess said impatiently.
"Fortunately, the wound is not too deep." The elderly man frowned and said, and he immediately raised his hands and closed his eyes to begin his holy prayer.
Seeing this scene, none of the people in the auditorium made any sound. At this moment, although the crisis is far away from them, the fear still looms over everyone's heart.
In fact, when they heard that the elderly clergyman mentioned "the power of bloodthirsty", everyone here already knew that there was going to be a major change, and this change might make the people who have just experienced it. That hearing seemed insignificant, after all, compared with the bloodthirsty force, the entire Southern Corps was nothing at all.
After a while, the old priest stopped his prayers, his appearance was exhausted, and his collar was completely saturated with sweat.
"I can only do this, the bloodthirsty power is too strong after all, I can only look forward to the prince's slow recovery." The old priest said slowly.
At this moment, three figures appeared at the entrance of the auditorium.
Ribo is walking in the forefront, behind him is the killer king who never shows a trace of expression, and the guard knight Segent is carrying a person on his shoulders, from him The lowered arms and body can tell that this person has already lost his life.
"His mouth was stuffed with poison, and it was too late when we discovered this," Segant said.
"Also, he seems to be a bloodthirsty warrior, but he is quite different from the bloodthirsty warrior I have ever seen." Segent seemed to hesitate for a while and finally said.
"Well, what my brother needs most at the moment is meticulous care and rest, so that Foster will guard him. Others will check to see if other assassins have been missed." The princess suddenly She stood up and said that at this moment, she seemed to be a commander who was lofty and decisive at the same time.
No one disobeyed the order of the princess, as if she was the leader for granted at this moment.
Just as the princess was giving orders, suddenly there was a loud noise outside, and the very guard officer grabbed a dark-skinned youth into the auditorium. The youth’s mouth was blocked by a wooden stick, making him There is no way to close his teeth.
"We caught a suspicious man who is almost always an alliance of the assassins." said one of the guards.
"He didn't have time to swallow the poison?" the majestic princess asked.
"Since the incident with Duke Sham, my subordinates and I have been paying attention to the opponent’s mouth, especially the teeth. My deputy used a stick instead of a long sword to subdue this guy, and his poison fell out. "The guard officer reported.
"You two will be promoted. I most need officers like you who are good at brainstorming and adaptable." Grand Duke Foss interrupted immediately.
"I also thank you for this." The princess rarely showed a polite gesture. She turned her head and said to the Grand Duke Foss: "Is there anyone here who is good at'persuading' and'talking'? Expert, here is a gentleman who needs his advice."
"Yes, of course. I will ask them to prepare immediately." Grand Duke Foss replied immediately, and he was even impatiently leaving.
"His Royal Highness, can I also participate in the questioning? I must take responsibility for the assassination of the two imperial adults. Although I have not been able to fulfill my duties, finding the murderer behind the scenes is the only one I can make up for my fault. Method." Suddenly an officer stood up and said.
"You are welcome to join. If there is anyone here who is good at this kind of inquiry, please also ask him to give some help." The princess said calmly. At this moment, she only hopes that the more people who participate in the inquiry, the better. All the spies who might reveal the flaws have fallen on the hall, and every spy arrested at this moment is a spy sent by Bassemont to other counties and provinces. They know very little about Monach. From their mouths, torture, at most, a string of names and the master of Bashmon, who is behind the scenes, can be drawn.
In fact, the princess is also looking forward to another report. Among the crowd outside, there is definitely not only this spy.
"I believe that blocking Monach at this moment will not inconvenience you. The assassins hiding in the crowd are also a threat to you." The princess said.
"Yes, immediately block all passages in and out of Monach. Everyone must return to their homes and send patrols around Monach to search and search. Any suspicious person will be temporarily controlled." Grand Duke Foss Quickly issued a series of orders, and the attendants and guards immediately respected the order and ran outside.
Everyone was overwhelmed by this extremely tense and terrifying atmosphere, and no one noticed that the princess and the fearful Grand Duke Foss exhaled heavily in secret.
Everything is hidden in chaos and fear, the blood in that place, that stained red on the wall, completely hides the truth.
This is undoubtedly a successful performance, seamless and perfect
