Two arrows burst through the air, but when they approached Beta, they were directly bounced off.

"The other party knows how to defend against arrow magic, hand-to-hand combat, can't let him run."

The four men in black rushed over one after another, Beta did not rush to use the magic, and then rode his horse and walked slowly to the right.

If you are an experienced player, you can naturally see that Beta is 'moving'. Just a few steps away, just enough for most of the other party to be in the same straight line as themselves.

A golden pillar of light blasted away, so fast that people couldn't react, and the three men in black vaporized in an instant, and the remaining other man in black was wiped by the edge of the magic, and the man and the horse rolled to the ground.

He had no feeling on the left side of his body, and was trying to struggle to get up, but he had no strength.

"You dare to go against us, we are the third princess......"

The other party's voice stopped abruptly, and Beta shook the blood droplets on the golden sword before retracting into the mansion space.

Beta took out the key to the royal tomb from his clothes and found that although the thing was heating, it was not a 'physical' fever, but a mental one. There is a strange spiritual power in the key, which affects the spiritual senses of the bearer.

Why is this happening? The front is fine.

Beta was a little strange, took a few steps forward, and then found that the square key reacted more, he looked at the two corpses in the distance, and knew something in his heart.

Sure enough, as he approached the 'Seven Princes', the square key became more and more 'hot', and when he got close to the corpse about five meters, the square key began to glow and shoot on the body of the gorgeously dressed Seven Princes.

The transparent soul was pulled back by the light, and this soul had no sense, but instinctively ran in the air, as if it was running away from something.

The soul of ordinary people has no mind after death, and is essentially just the information left in the spirit in front of the body, and after a certain period of death, it will be led to the underworld by the divine power of the god Sophie, the god of the underworld, where it will slowly and painlessly disappear into the most basic magical element. If you want your soul to have the memory and thinking ability after death, you must have at least 10 points of will, not to mention ordinary people, even many professionals can't achieve it.

Moreover, only some special necromancy can extract human souls, even Beta, who does not know how to extract souls, can at most be in contact with the soul consciousness sea before his death.

But the king attached the key, but pulled the soul of the 'Seven Princes' out of his body, not only that, but under the illumination of the pillar of light, the soul of the Seven Princes slowly disappeared, turning into a cloud of pale cyan magic elements, and then was sucked into the key.

After draining the soul, the square key changes back to its original temperature, but on the system interface, there is an extra line of comment after this thing.

Seal Energy (1/5).

Tsk, that's kind of interesting. Beta looked at the epic quest on the quest interface, then looked at the square key, and had several conjectures in his heart, and then he threw this thing into the mansion magic space.

Beta looked around, flicked her fingers again, and the ground turned into a swamp, 'drowning' several corpses, and then the ground hardened again, leaving no blood on the ground, as if nothing had happened just now.

Betasch sat on a pack horse and continued on his way.

About an hour later, he came to the foot of the royal city.

The inland cities of the country of France are all without walls, but the city of the King of France is the only exception, it has walls, it is not high, only about six meters, and it is not wide, about four meters.

In a world with such high-end force as professionals, this height and thickness, and the use of ordinary building materials, has no defensive meaning at all, it is more of a symbolic meaning.

This is the royal city, so ...... There must be walls.

It's probably such a maverick feeling.

When Beta entered the city, several guards who were almost watching people with their nostrils checked his family crest and nobility certificate, even if they knew that he was a nobleman, even if they knew that he was a magician, they looked down on outsiders with pride.

This is probably the feeling of 'at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Lao Tzu is a big nobleman, the strong have never seen it, and you are a little turtle from outside, it is not a matter at all'.

Bei Wei didn't care, and went directly into the royal city. The city is very lively, and the pedestrians on the streets are bustling and noisy.

The more people a city has, the more prosperous it is, which is an iron rule.

After finding a hotel to stay, he lay down in bed and rested for about two hours, and then wandered the streets, went to the tavern for a drink, and returned to the hotel about the time of day.

After taking a bath, he sorted out the information he had collected in his notebook, and found that there was indeed an undercurrent of treachery in the royal city.

The current King of France always had seven children, four women and three boys...... If the Seven Princes that Beta met during the day were genuine, then there were only six left.

After an afternoon on the streets, one night, Beta didn't collect too much information, after all, he didn't have contact with the upper class of the King of Fran, so there wasn't much useful information, but even so, it could be seen that the current state of the King of France was very troublesome.

There is a dirty relationship between the eldest princess and the third princess, and they usually meet each other sarcastically and shamefully.

The second princess doesn't love the director very much, and she stays at home every day to learn magic, but it is said that she has been assassinated four times in the past year.

The third princess has a somewhat perverse personality...... Then the Seventh Prince died at her hands, provided that those men in black did not tell a lie.

The fourth prince has a cowardly personality, but his mother's family is very powerful...... The daughter of the current president of the Red Magic Tower is his mother.

The fifth princess has a good relationship with the eldest princess, but she is not on the right path with the third princess and the sixth princess.

The sixth princess, a tomboy, likes women, and takes a group of soldiers to play mercenary games every day.

The Seven Princes...... Deceased.

Beta drew several circles on the paper, focusing on the names of the eldest princess, the second princess and the sixth princess.

The fourth prince was also circled by him, but the circle was relatively small.

There is a precedent for women in power in France, so princesses will also participate in the competition for the throne.

The most important thing is that the current King of France, Georges Frans, has no intention of stopping the competition of these children, but has a sense of watching a play, and he has said several times in the council hall that his king will be best conceded to the strongest, both men and women.

No wonder the seventh prince died, a boy less than sixteen years old, was killed by the thirty-two-year-old third sister.

Although the battle for the throne may not come to an end so quickly, Beta feels that he still has to stay here and try his luck, in case another member of the royal family dies during this time, it will be earned.

For example...... Sudden death or something.

For the next three days, Beta continued to wander the streets, and then he locked up a fat man...... Count Calle.

The Count of Calle is a distant relative of the royal family and has royal blood. Beta wanted to see if the key would suck his soul if the man died.

The reason why he was locked up was because Count Calle was a scumbag, the kind through and through, who kidnapped civilian maidens, tortured them for a while, and then sank them into the river, or buried them in the earth.

He is now in his thirties, and since he has been an adult, he has killed three to five young girls every year, and his hands are already red and black.

However, he is very cautious in his work, and never touches aristocratic women, only looking for ordinary women who are okay. Even if many people knew about his bestial behavior, they would not want to pay attention to it.

Wangcheng has a population of nearly six million, and there are a few women every year, what is it...... It was the untouchables who died, not the nobles.

Such a person, after Beta is killed, will not have any psychological burden at all.

That night, Beta was asking Joan of Arc to scout the terrain of Calle Manor from above, and outside the city, a team of white-robed professionals were rummaging the ground by the roadside, and it wasn't long before they dug out the body of the Seventh Prince, which had begun to stink.

"Your Excellency, I really found it, it is indeed the Seventh Prince."

A middle-aged bald man walked up to the corpse, ignoring the smell of the corpse, directly wiped the dirt off the face of the seventh prince, looked at the swollen face that was about to turn into a balloon for a while, he nodded and said, "It is indeed the seventh prince, what is the cause of death?" ”

"Hit by a bow and arrow!" A white-robed subordinate replied, "The bow and arrow are handmade, and you can't see too much." ”

"There's another corpse here."

The body of a black-robed man was turned out.

The middle-aged bald head walked over, checked the meeting, and said: "A sword pierced the head, piercing from the forehead to the back of the head, the sword is very sharp, the hand is also very stable, and the other party is a master of swordsmanship." But it is definitely not the habit of the known swordsmen in the royal city. Investigate the warriors, thieves, and even hunters who have been in and out of the royal city in the last month, and see if there are any suspicious persons. ”

The three people next to him received the order.

"Duocha, you go to report to Your Majesty, and you say that you have found the Seventh Prince, but he has no way to open his eyes again."

A white-robed man rode away.

The middle-aged bald man looked at the corpse of the seventh prince, sighed, and said, "Others, transport the prince's body back to the city, wash it, dress him, and then hand it over to the guardian of the royal tomb." ”

"Yes." Several white robes carried the body of the Seventh Prince and placed it on a stretcher.

Beta had already arrived at Calle Manor, and he waited outside for about half an hour, and when all the candles in the manor had been extinguished, he flicked his fingers and used the fog control technique.

A white mist enveloped the entire estate.

There are more than a dozen guard dogs in the manor, but their sight and hearing are greatly affected, and even their sense of smell is useless, and they can only smell the smell of foggy water.

"Hell, why is it so foggy."

"It's not magic, there's no magic fluctuations, it should be a rare night fog."

A manor guard with torches walked over from more than ten meters in front, and Beta didn't even have to hide, just stood there, and the other party couldn't see him.

Even with torches, the effective visual range of these people will not exceed ten meters.

Beta waited for them to walk over, slowly walked through the garden, pushed open the door to the manor's mansion, and walked inside.

As an earl, Calle naturally invited a magician to sit in charge.

On the top floor of the manor, there is a small magic tower, which was originally a watchtower, but has been changed into a simple magic tower.

Anthony, a master magician, was experimenting in the magic tower, when suddenly a thick fog seeped in from the window, he was not alert at first, because there was no magic fluctuation, so it was still an ordinary natural mist.

But soon, the fog was more dense than he had imagined, and even he, looking out of the window, could not see anything twenty meters away.

"No, very not."

Anthony tried to dispel the surrounding fog with a dispersal technique, but to no avail.

"Not really magic? Illusion? ”

Anthony wasn't quite sure how he felt, if it was magic, the dispersal should work.

He thought about it again and sat back in his chair to continue the magic experiment, but after sitting for a while, he felt his heart beat faster and faster, and his intuition told him that something was wrong with the mist, something very wrong.

"Oh no......" Anthony thought of a possibility, and immediately used a slow fall technique on himself, and then jumped out of the window.

Beta had now reached into Calle's bedroom, the fat man's throat had been slit, and blood was spurting out like a spring.

Beside him, lay the corpse of a chiguo, but cold girl.

The girl's body was full of bruises and purple scars.

Kahler's face showed the same frightened look as the girl, and he looked at Beta, his eyes were full of begging for mercy, but Beta ignored it, and coldly watched the fat man's blood flow.

The blood was greatly reduced, the fat man's body began to lack oxygen, he writhed and struggled like a fish on the shore, the throat was broken, and after a while, the muscles of his whole body began to twitch, and finally he arched his body, and his eyes almost protruded from their sockets.

He was frozen in this moment in his life.

Beta took out the square key from the mansion space.

The key began to heat up, and the fat man's soul was ripped out, and Beta thought that the fat man's soul could also be attracted, but unexpectedly, after the fat man's soul turned into a mass of magical elements, it actually escaped.

The temperature of the square key begins to cool.

"It doesn't seem like so."

Beta muttered, then jumped out of the window. Within ten seconds of him leaving, Anthony floated in through the window, rushed straight into the bedroom, and then saw the dead Calle.

"Nope."

Because of the fog control technique, this angry roar can only be heard by Beta. He had already arrived outside the manor at this time, and when he heard this voice, he sneered, flicked his fingers, and withdrew the fog control technique.

He went back to the hotel to rest, and the next morning, down to the first floor for breakfast, he heard the news of Calle's death.

Beta smiled, had breakfast, and went to the mercenary union.

Since the blood of distant relatives of the royal family is useless, then you can only find the direct blood of the royal family.

The six princesses like to play mercenary games?

It's a good break, at least that's what Beta thinks.
