Chapter 360: Aftertaste
Ruhl sighed, he looked at the swaying wall of the carriage, "So what are we going to do?" Surrender to this mastermind? β
Christian looked at the carriage floor with his hands in his arms, and he frowned and thought, "This is the first time I've seen this kind of unbelievable assassination. If you only listen to the loud noise, it is not much different from setting off fireworks.www.biquge.info β
Shaking his head, Christian sighed as well, his eyes blankly looking at the swaying carriage and continuing, "Now, we can only take one step at a time. The mastermind behind this scene should have made such a big move, and what he was seeking was to control the parliament. β
"Well, they're going to definitely continue to inform us next, so let's put somebody in the position of Speaker. By that time, we may be able to find some clues about who is behind the scenes. β
"Can't we be at their mercy?" Ruhl gradually calmed down from his previous panic, and he was a little unwilling. Now that White is dead, there will certainly be many vacant positions in the Council of Nobles, all of which can be fought for for by those who are familiar to them.
Christian sneered, his eyes full of contempt as he looked at Ruhl, "Do you think you can resist this mysterious assassination?" Or can you go without going out for the rest of your life? β
"Don't get yourself in trouble. Even in the face of this kind of assassination, there is nothing I can do. β
Christian then leaned his head against the wall of the carriage and muttered, "Wait and see, this mastermind will take advantage of the opportunity to attack many people who do not cooperate with them." For the sake of those vacant positions, too many people are willing to accept their blackmail. β
"We...."Ruhl glanced up at Christian, who had his eyes closed, and had to swallow the words that came to his mouth. The uneasiness in my heart began to surface again.

In Viscount White's manor at this time, everyone was in a state of grief. No one noticed the anomaly on the watchtower.
Mark dismantled the sniper rifle quickly, put all the parts on the wooden box next to him, and took out a long travel case from the magic bag, carefully placed the parts of the gun in the groove in the box, and closed it gently.
He got up and glanced at the noisy crowd in the distance, then turned his head and walked silently into the shadows that the moonlight could not reach.
Along the way, everyone gathered at the location of Viscount White's body, which allowed Mark to walk out easily.
Originally, he wanted to leave directly, but after thinking of that girl, he couldn't help frowning. He thought about it for a moment, then turned and walked to the girl's place.
When Mark arrived at the girl's hiding place, the girl did not come out as promised.
Mark stood for a moment, but the girl still didn't show up. Just as he was about to leave, the murmur of someone sleeping faintly wafted in.
He stood still and listened, and when he was sure, Mark walked over to the place where the sound was coming from. Sure enough, the girl was clutching her arms tightly in her arms, leaning against the wall next to her and falling asleep.
He stood quietly looking at the girl sleeping in the moonlight, and for a moment he thought of his mentor, the High Elf thief. Once, when she was on her own mission, she would find a place to lie there and wait for her to come back.
At this time, while the girl was asleep, her mouth kept babbling.
"Professionals... I'm going to be a professional... I don't want to be compared to my sister..."
Mark walked over softly, came to the girl and crouched down.
Looking at the girl's delicate appearance, Mark's heart was a little nervous for no reason, and an uncontrollable desire rose from his heart. So he stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the girl's white face.
And at this moment, the shouting in the White Manor not far away woke the girl up, and she opened her eyes in an instant. A pair of big blue eyes, blinking at Mark.
Mark panicked, as if he had been discovered for something bad. He changed his hand to fan back and forth on the top of the girl's head.
"Mentorβ" Nicole was still a little confused, she blinked at Mark, "what are you doing?" Your mission is over? β
Mark instantly got up and turned his back to her, looking at White's manor in the distance. He snorted a few times to hide his nervousness.
"I... At... Give you mosquitoes to repel. At first, Mark was a little uncomfortable, and then he said solemnly, "Now that you're awake, it's time for us to go." β
"Where?!" Nicolle came to her senses, and she jumped up from the ground in excitement and grabbed Mark's arm hidden in the overalle. "Where are we going?"
"Go to Eva."
"Wow! That's cool! My sister is going there too! β
"Mentor, what organization are you from?"
β......β
"Mentor, how long have you been in Eva? Do you know Grand Lord Harvey? β
β......β
"Mentor, are you serving the Great Lord? Are we going to Eva to serve him? β
β......β
"Mentor..."
In the bright moonlight, a girl excitedly put her arms around the shoulders of the man next to her and shouted excitedly. The sound echoed through the empty alley, causing bursts of dog barking from time to time.

The killing of White was like a flare, and in the days that followed, the Security Service began to crack down on the nobles close to White in Lordaeron. For a while, the news of the death of the nobles kept coming out, which put the nobles in danger, they either hid in the room, or went to the nearest barracks to stay, a change from the usual appearance.
The nobles who had been terrorized by the Security Service fell silent, and no one spoke up for the dead nobles, as if they didn't exist.
The entire region of Tirisfa fell into a strange silence, only the families of the dead nobles were running for their fathers and relatives.
The one who was most affected by these people was the Grand Lord Mograini, the old paladin who had been having a hard time lately, and the families of the dead nobles had been crying in front of him, trying to get him to find the murderer and avenge his family.
Although the Great Lord was very dissatisfied with the neck of the previous noble council card crusader, he was really embarrassed by the successive vicious cases in his garrison area.
While comforting the relatives of the deceased, Gadar's night patrols were intensified, and mages were even sent to the town. However, what should happen still happens. Countless aristocrats were quietly killed hiding in their bedrooms, toilets, and kitchens.
It is not normal to want to kill the nobles who are key to protection one after another in such a well-guarded town. And the cause of death of these people has a significant characteristic, when they leave their own homes, they will be shot in the head from a long distance, which even the mage's protective scroll can't protect. And the nobles who were killed at home died without even a little pain, what was like before death, what is after death.
This is no longer something that ordinary thieves can do, only some big forces can do.
Although they were not satisfied with these nobles, the high lord thought that they would not do such a thing to them. Moreover, in today's Lordaeron, the only ones who can do this are the Crusaders and the Silver Dawn.
Silver Dawn is far away in the eastern frontier of the kingdom, and it is impossible to send people here to kill the nobles. Then I definitely won't do it, and it's difficult for the fireplace valley next door to protect myself, and I won't come to do it. Then combined with the deeds of the previous noble councils, the great lord vaguely thought of Locke.
When inspecting the crime scene again, the Great Lord was also keenly aware of some problems, and he secretly sent his attendants to contact Locke.
Locke, of course, denied this, and he would never admit it to death.
Despite his doubts, the High Lord gave up pursuing the matter. What's more, nothing can be found, and in the end, after only appeasing the families of the deceased, this matter can only be closed.
Norris also asked his agents to stop at the right time, and this matter has made the nobles of the entire Lordaeron Kingdom become frightened birds. Anyway, the goal has been achieved, and now the nobles basically have no dissenting voices.
