The Knight of Enod had long told McLandall that the danger in the palace of Dubrovnik had not been completely cleared, and they knew very well in their hearts that their opponent was not far away and was close by.

Even when Pato was alive, there was no peace in the Dubrovnik Palace, and Jocrith had investigated the original truth of the matter several times, giving the Knight Enod many key hints.

......

"Knight Enold, how are you feeling now?"

"It's special, Lord Jochris, it feels like walking in Dubrovnik's palace suddenly becomes familiar."

"Really? That's a good fit for you. Jocrith said.

"I hope so, at your disposal, Master Jochris." Enold said respectfully.

"Now I'm going to investigate something, Knight Enod just follow me, the task of the Prime Minister's guard is actually very simple, just be there for me when I need it."

"Yes, sir."

Jocriss turned left and right in the palace to the room where the King's scholar Yohani worked, "Is the scholar Johani here?" Jocris's door knocked on Johani's door.

The old man with the long white beard opened the door, and it was none other than the king's scholar Johani, who was basically the most knowledgeable person in the entire palace, and who also provided the kingdom with some necessary knowledge and wrote books on weekdays.

"Oh? It's Lord Jochris, and Knight Enold. The King's Scholar Johani seemed a little surprised to see Inod appear next to Jokris.

"Knight Enod is now my squire for the time being." Jochris patted Johani on the shoulder, "Well, now there's time to talk about that." ”

"Please come in, sir." Johani, the King's scholar, nodded, led the two in, and closed the door.

The room was filled with unknown books, with a few scrolls on the desk, and a quill in a circular pen holder.

"My lord, I am more than happy to tell you about the passing of former Prime Minister Pato, please take a seat, would you like to have some snacks?" How about a few fruits? I also have some fine fruit here, and as a king scholar, although I can't drink alcohol at work for the time being, I can help you get a glass of iced milk, which is perfect for drinking on a hot day. ”

It was a little hot, Jocris's silk tunic hugged his chest, the air was oppressive and damp, and perhaps the most comfortable place was by the Adriatic Sea, where a pleasant breeze blew.

"Thank you then." Jochris sat down as he spoke, and Enod stood by his side.

Johani, the king's scholar, picked up a delicate little bell on his desk with his thumb and forefinger, and shook it lightly twice, and a beautiful lady-in-waiting hurried in.

"Please help the Prime Minister, Knight Enod and I each get a glass of iced milk and add more honey!"

After the lady-in-waiting went to fetch the iced milk, the king's scholar said, "Lord Jocris, the death of Prime Minister Pato is a heavy blow to our royal palace, we are talking about this while drinking iced milk, this weather is really a bit stuffy, the commoners are saying that it will soon enter the hottest time of the year, of course, this is just the statement of the commoners, but sometimes it really makes people have this illusion, do you say?" Every time the weather is like this, I envy those who live on the islands of the Adriatic. ”

The string of pearls that hung around the neck of Johani, the king's scholar, made a soft noise as he moved his body. "Let's talk about Weiyi Island, it is said that the people on that island are comfortable and enjoyable, and when will we be able to take a boat there to have some fun, ah, our ice milk is here."

The lady-in-waiting placed a tray between them, and Johani, the king's scholar, smiled at her, took a glass and took two sips, and nodded. "Thank you, go down."

After the lady-in-waiting left, the King's scholar Johani looked at Jocris' with his pale eyes, "Where did we just go?" Oh, island, let's not talk about that, let's talk about former Prime Minister Pato......"

"Yes." Jocrith was politely sipping the iced milk, and Knight Enod stood beside Jocrith and tasted the sweetness of the iced milk, which was cold and refreshing, but it was still a little too sweet for them.

"To be honest, former Prime Minister Pato was often uneasy before." Johani, the King's scholar, said, "I have worked with him for so many years, and what signs do I not see? I think this comes from the great responsibility that he has been silently bearing for a long time, he wants to help King Rolls Sheen build a powerful kingdom so much, his shoulders are crushed by all the major national affairs and some bad things, not to mention that Lord Pato is not in good health, if one day he leaves us so quietly, I will not be too surprised, please allow me to say something unpleasant, Lord Jochris, I think that maybe Lord Pato will be left alone to bear the great pressure of the whole country, It's better to be a little easier from now on, and it can't be said that it is not a relief for him. ”

"But did he get accidental food poisoning, or was he killed?" Jocrith asked.

He had just become the prime minister of the kingdom, and it was only a short time since he entered the Dubrovnik Palace, and there were too many things that he needed to investigate, but the more he investigated, the more he felt that the Dubrovnik Palace had become different from the kingdom he knew before, and even he vaguely felt some invisible resistance, even if King Rollssheen was his best friend and had given him great rights.

The king's scholar Johani spread out his hands and made a helpless sad gesture, "Your Excellency must have heard that even the king has not investigated the results of this matter, how can we people judge?" One day Lord Pato came to me and asked me for a book, his body was the same as usual, so hard that he could not speak, but I could see what he was worried about, and the next morning, he was in pain, and he couldn't even get out of bed, I thought he was just suffering from a little cold, and in those days it was hot and cold, and Lord Pato was already in poor health, and often added ice milk to his beer, which was very likely to affect him. ”

"The healer made Lord Pato drink several warm medicinal wines, originally intended to expel the sick in his body, but then Lord Pato died."

"Is there anything wrong with the medicinal wine? What about the healer? ”

"There is nothing wrong with the medicinal wine, I have often drunk it, the doctor was originally an old man in the palace, there will be no problem, we think it may be beer, cold milk, medicinal wine or Lord Pato himself drank something mixed in his stomach, causing him to die, you know, Lord Pato is not in good health, it is likely that it is only a slight food poisoning that can't bear it."

"What did Pato-sama tell you when she was critically ill?"

Johani, the King's scholar, frowned, "In his last painful death, Lord Pato chanted the name of King Lotto Sheen many times, and His Majesty King Lawshein came many times, sat by his bedside for a long time, and talked to Lord Pato about the good old days, hoping to lift his spirits, and his respect for Lord Pato was very obvious. ”

"Nothing else? Isn't there a little last word? ”

"No, it was all too unexpected, and after that, his attendants could not wake him up in the morning, and we were told that he had died in his sleep that night, and that there was no more pain on his face, and there was a slight smile on his face, as I said before, it was not a relief, Master Pato was too tired, and he would not suffer any more."

Jocriz took another sip of ice milk, trying to endure the greasy sweetness, "Then, in your opinion, there really isn't a little strange about Lord Pato's death?" ”

"A little weird?" "No, I don't think so, Lord Jochris, death is sad, but on the other hand, it is also the most natural thing, and Lord Pato has now laid off all his burdens and is laid to rest in the ground. ”

"Is it a poison to mix beer, cold milk, and medicinal wine?" Jocrith said, "Have you ever seen a recipe like this before? Or experiment with something else? ”

"I've been a King's Scholar for more than thirty years." The King's Scholar Johani replied, "King Rolls Sheehan, who served us, and the cruel King before him, the Prime Minister, I have seen so many poisons, let me tell you: each poison is different, but it has something in common, and the death of Master Pato is no more bizarre than the others, and if the mixture of these things led to the death of Master Pato, then I will obviously know the recipe as well, unless he or someone else mixed it with something else as a primer." ”

"His wife doesn't think so, and if we do, we'd be suspicious of his wife." Jocrith said.

Johani, the King's scholar, nodded, "His wife usually seems to be very affectionate with him, but after the death of Lord Pato, she became suspicious, and thought that someone was going to be her enemy, and it must have been Lord Pato's death that broke her heart, and she had no purpose to do such a thing with no support." ”

"So in the end, I can only be sure that Parker died of accidental food poisoning?"

"Yes." Johani, the king's scholar, replied solemnly, "If it were not for a natural accident, what would my good lord be?" ”

"Someone made an accident." Jocrith hinted quietly.

The King's sleepy eyes widened suddenly, his face looked even older, and he shifted uneasily from his seat.

"It's chilling to think that we are not in a country of turmoil, only there is such a thing as a commonplace, although the gods often remind us that there is a seed of murder in everyone's heart, but there is a lack of a chance to sprout, and even so, it is too disgraceful to cause an accident to poison a dying old man who worries about the kingdom."

He was silent for a while, his eyes thoughtful, "My lord, I still don't think this possibility you proposed, everyone loves Lord Pato, how can any beast dare to accidentally poison such a noble old man?" ”

"I've heard that the Dubrovnik palace is not at peace." Jocrith said.

The king's scholar Johani groaned and touched his beard, "There is such a saying, when you and King Rolls Sheen invaded the palace and killed the brutal previous king, at that time the lords of several families still had their own careful thoughts, but then Prime Minister Pato suggested that King Rolls Sheen marry Innie Randall of the Randall family, and King Rothshee's power was completely consolidated, and you also left the Dubrobnik palace at that time and became the Lord of Chris, my lord, don't you still trust the Randall family?" ”

Jocrishi doesn't need him to remind him of this, everyone knows that the Randall family is a family full of power and desire, if it weren't for Ini Randall becoming the queen, how could Lord Randall be willing to become a king like this, a knight who doesn't want to be a king is not a good lord.

Of course, apart from Prime Minister Jocris, he hated being king the most, and there was such an anecdote circulating in Dubrovnik's royal palace at that time.

Rolls Sheehan sat on the throne and said to Jochris, "Joe, come up, I think you are more suitable to be the king of Dubrovnik than me!" Jocrith said, shut up, this kingdom can't do without you, it was you who led the knights to resist, and I just followed you by the way, the broken position of the king is for you to suffer, not me! Enjoy, Rouse!

"That's it for today, Lord Johani." Jocrith said that he didn't answer the question of trusting the Randall family directly, but the Randall family does have a huge amount of power right now.

"Okay."

"I'll remember, Lord Johani, thank you for your help, I'm afraid I've taken up too much of your time." Jocrith stood up.

Johani, the Kingdom Scholar, slowly pushed away his chair and escorted Jocris and Knight Enod to the door, "I hope that this little bit of my help can reassure you, or help you, if there is anything else that can help, just ask, I am always waiting for you." ”

"There's one more thing, indeed." Jocrith said to him, "I'm curious about the book you mentioned, I wonder if I can read it?" ”

"I'm afraid you'll find it boring," said Johani, the king's scholar, "it's a genealogy of the families written by my predecessor, the king's scholar, and it's all about the genealogy of the families. ”

"It's okay, I just want to see."

"Where do I seem to be, as you wish? Well...... When I go back and look for it, I will send someone to your room as soon as I find the book. ”

"You've been so thoughtful." Jochrist told him, and then, as if suddenly he had thought of something, "I beg your pardon, I have one last question, you just said that before Lord Pato died, the king was always at his bedside, I wonder if Queen Eni Randall was there at that time?" ”

"When you say that, I seem to remember that every time Queen Inni Randall is not with King Rolls Sheen, but the royal guard Janis Odo is present, but Queen Inni Randall has come to visit by herself, huh...... Actually, it's not a single person, and Knight Janis Odo will sometimes stand guard outside the door. ”

Then inform Your Majesty, the Queen, and the ministers, that the news of the death of Lord Pato has fallen upon me, and I have never told everyone of such a thing in my life with such a heavy heart.

"Understood, thank you again, Lord Johani." Jocrith said.

"May the gods bless." Johani, the King's Scholar, nodded. "Lord Jochris, please come to me if you have any questions, I will be at your disposal at any time."

......

Prior to today's royal meeting, McLandall and Knight Enold already had a plan, and if it went well, they might be able to expose those behind the scenes.
