For a moment, the nightingale felt the whole black and white world tremble. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Breaking out of the fog, the scene in front of me was completely restored to color. The dark curtain of the sacred stone dissipated, and the heart that was about to jump out of his chest retreated - the man who fell to the ground was not Roland, but a guard he had never seen, he was wearing the standard costume of the honeysuckle family, and his chest was imprinted with a dark red, like a wound from a gunshot.

"Why are you here?" a familiar voice sounded beside him.

She turned her head, and it was Roland who was speaking, and he was surrounded by several guards in a corner of the hall, so that he didn't notice him when he burst into the room.

"I'm ......" opened his mouth, and the nightingale found that his throat was very hoarse, and his hands and feet were cold and numb, as if he had survived the catastrophe, and his body was very soft. At this time, the only thing she wanted to do was to hug Roland tightly, but she knew that she couldn't do this, there were other nobles here, if she wanted to take on the security bureau independently and take on the shield of the territory, she couldn't be too close to him in front of everyone.

Although his head clearly told him that he couldn't, his body involuntarily walked towards Roland, opened the mist, passed through the guards, and hugged him hard.

There was an exclamation at the scene, and it was obvious that everyone didn't quite understand why a witch suddenly appeared, disappeared again without saying a word.

In the mist, she pressed her arms to the prince's back, her head buried in her chest, listening to the heartbeat of the other, as if this was the only way to prove that everything was nothing more than a false alarm.

Roland also seemed to realize something, and clapped his hands to the nobles, "Let's go to the dining room for lunch first, don't leave the castle for the time being, and the afternoon meeting continues!"

Only when only the prince's guards, Perro, Sylvie, and Lightning were left at the scene did he ask, "The murderer has something to do with this assassination?"

Nightingale's mind gradually calmed down at this time, and she reluctantly withdrew three steps, showed her figure, and pretended that she had never approached the prince before, and said, "Exactly, when I found out that the instigator behind the criminal was Honeysuckle's guard, I immediately rushed over. She recounted her findings and Mance's confession, "I didn't expect that the real purpose of the other party was to lure us away so as to find an opportunity to attack...... Thankfully, you're safe and sound. ”

"To be able to plan this far, taking into account the timing of my visit and the witch," Roland sighed, "what a waste of this man as an Assassin. ”

Pero immediately knelt down on one knee to the prince and said, "Your Highness, I really didn't know that he was—"

"Get up, you've said that, and I don't like to impose crimes," he interrupted, "but you're also at fault, and it's a mistake on your part to make a mistake in the castle's personnel and perimeter guards. ”

"I'm ......," Perro opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head, "I'm guilty." ”

"Find out who he is and where he came from, and I'll know the results now. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After the eldest son of Honeysuckle left, Nightingale asked the worry in her heart, "What was the situation at that time?"

"There is no danger," Roland smiled, "thanks to Sylvie's warning...... But then again, if he chooses to do it in the conference hall, he is already at a disadvantage. ”

After listening to the prince's account, she understood how the assassination had happened—but in fact, it was not as easy as he had claimed. Although he was not allowed to carry a weapon when entering the hall, the enemy hid a dagger in his clothes, and he was indeed a castle guard, so no one performed a body search and let him into the hall.

If there was any mistake on the part of the assassin, it was that he carried the Stone of Divine Punishment. It is normal for the guards patrolling the perimeter to wear the Divine Stone, but it is particularly conspicuous in the hall - in order not to interfere with Sylvie's observation, all the nobles present took off the Divine Stone Ornament as required, and the sudden appearance of the black void made Sylvie notice him for the first time, and when he walked towards His Royal Highness, Sylvie immediately issued a warning.

Although Roland said the next scene very easily, the nightingale still heard a cold sweat, the hall was almost twenty meters long and wide, and it was only a few breaths from the time the enemy heard the warning and began to run until he approached the main seat of the long table. As soon as His Highness pulled out his revolver and opened the safety, the dagger had already stabbed him in the body. The hit part is the lower back, and the nightingale, who has experienced assassination training, naturally knows that compared to the chest and skull that are subconsciously guarded, the waist is extremely difficult to defend, once injured, the severe pain can immediately make the target lose the ability to resist, and the next step is probably to cut the blood vessels in the neck.

Luckily, Roland was wearing a special protective suit made by Zoroa, and the dagger failed to penetrate the coating and stop his next move. The guns were fired almost close to the body of the assassin, and the scene was thrown into chaos with a loud roar, and two 12-millimeter bullets took the lives of the enemy.

Nightingale knew how thrilling this process was, and if His Highness did not open the safety in a panic, in case the pistol could not be fired successfully, the consequences would be unimaginable...... She turned her head and glared at the lightning, and Xiaogu Liang immediately drooped her head, looking like she was honestly admitting her mistake.

"Your Highness, it's been checked," Perro walked into the hall again, "his name is Theo, not a native of the West, and he was once Duke Lane's castle guard. ”

"Duke Lane?" Roland frowned, "why would you choose such a man as a guard?"

"He's just an ordinary guard, and each family lost a lot of men at that time, so I chose those who had little to do with the duke, which is what the fortress has always done......" Perro said cautiously, "I don't think it is likely that he carried out this assassination to avenge the duke." ”

He wasn't lying, Nightingale thought that after the fall of a great nobleman, except for those subordinates who had been divided into territories and titles, the rest of the people were also resources that could be divided in the eyes of other nobles. And for those who are divided, it is equivalent to a change of master. Since Honeysuckle had taken refuge with His Royal Highness Roland very early, and the fortress had been under the management of Perot on his behalf, this part of the people had not been examined.

"How many people are there like this?" asked Roland, "You also used the Wild Rose, Maple Leaf, and the people from the Running Wolf family?"

"There are only three or four on the outskirts of the castle," Perro nodded, "and the other three minions, lords, and serfs are all grouped into the two families of Honeysuckle and Elk, and I promise they will not appear in the fortress." ”

"Okay, I don't care about those people, but in the castle area, even the guards on the periphery must be selected from your family, understand? As for the guards in the castle, I will arrange it myself. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

"Also, seal off Theo's residence, and I'll find out the real reason for his assassination. Roland looked at the lightning, "Inform Maisie and ask her to bring Count Speer to Changge." (To be continued.) )
