Charles took the shield and examined it, and it still seemed to be in good condition. He smiled and asked, "Who else knows about finding the shield?" ”

The officer also smiled and said: "Only a dozen of us know, as soon as we found the shield, we quickly started digging, except for reporting to the general, we haven't had time to tell others." ”

"Well, well done. Charles nodded, looked at Sur beside him and said, "Sur, take them down to take credit, I'll report to you." ”

There was still blood on Suer's mouth, from several wounds. He nodded, understanding what Charles meant, "Yes." Come with me, and I'll write down your names, and all of you will have a credit. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. But I was the first to happen. A soldier rushed to say.

Sur smiled: "Got it, you're the first to work." Come with me. ”

In this way, more than a dozen new corpses were added to this battlefield where countless people had died, and the Demon Moon Army, which was busy retreating in the chaos, did not notice this.

......

The wide streets of Thebiles are as bustling as ever, with pedestrians on both sides of the pavement and traffic on the middle road. Bottle had just returned from a field with his bags on his back, from outside Theliberes to be exact. He was in charge of investigating the assassination of Ravel, the sage of the Holy Garden, and because it involved the mark of the Light Dragon, he visited the current head of Christine's family, Shavalo, and then went to various places in the Demon Moon to visit other members of the Christine family.

Of course, he also learned from Wu Ye, who was also investigating the case, that there was a suspicious suspect on the side of Santa Vickya through the Memory Stone, but that didn't mean he had to give up on other aspects of the investigation. However, after the investigation, there are not many people in the Christine family who have awakened the light dragon Liliang, and these people have never been to the scene of the crime at the time of the crime. So he returned to the imperial capital, wanting to find out if there was any wrong or missing information.

But when he arrived in the imperial capital, he found out. The current situation in Theliberes seems to be tense, with patrolling soldiers patrolling the streets from time to time. The streets were as crowded as usual. But everybody seems to be thinking about something. He listened carefully to a few words, and then he was taken aback: "The crown prince of the demon moon has been assassinated!"

The crown prince is the future heir of a country, and the assassination of the crown prince is definitely a major event related to the stability of the entire country.

The bottle's heart moved: "The Demon Moon Crown Prince was stabbed." Will there be anything to do with Ravel's assassination?" he frowned, if there was really a connection in this, then the case of Ravel's assassination would have a new direction of investigation.

He hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Demon Moon. That is, in front of the gate of the Christine family's garden, the identity and name were reported, and the guards guarding the door knew that he was a GIWB person, so they didn't dare to slack off, and quickly reported the housekeeper.

The butler had seen the Bottle of Hess, and when he invited him into the house, he told him that the Prime Minister was not at home. He was summoned by the king to a meeting at the palace. Because the bottle had been to Chavalo's large study office, the housekeeper invited him to the lounge next to the office study to rest for a while.

Originally, the real prime minister's official residence of Moyue was not here, but Xia Valo was used to working in his own home, and the seventeenth was also very kind, and he didn't care if he was better to the minister. That's why there are a few lounges outside Chavalo's office for officials to wait for interviews.

The bottle came to the lounge next to the corridor and sat down, and soon the people were serving snacks and drinks. He didn't want to wait here for Chavalo to come back, he was covered in dust after the trip, and he planned to go to the hotel to take a good shower and come back. It's just that I heard about the assassination of the crown prince on the way, so I rushed here in a hurry, but I didn't think that Xia Valo happened to be there.

But he was also thirsty and hungry, so he happened to eat and drink something here. It is a place for officials who come here to handle official business to wait and receive guests, and it is very simple and elegantly furnished. The wallpaper of green vine flowers, the mahogany wall, and the table sofa are a little old, but the workmanship and texture are absolutely first-class. The tired bottle leaned comfortably on the sofa, tasting the sweet black tea, eating the ghee snacks, and blowing the cool breeze in the room, which made people drowsy.

After eating a bunch of grapes, the bottle was looking for a garbage basket to throw the skin, but he saw some strange words written on the waste paper in the garbage basket: "Well! these words ......"

In the large conference hall of the palace, the officials were shocked when they heard the news of the southern front: "What, Philip Ruhr is dead? Didn't he attack the city of Mount Bell some time ago? How could such news come back!?"

It was not only these ministers and officials who were surprised, but the Seventeenth Emperor was also shocked when he first heard the news, and he said, "Not only that, but the Golden Shield of the Holy Eye has also been lost. ”

The Golden Shield of the Holy Eye is a treasure, although it is not a national weapon in the Demon Moon, but in the war, it is definitely of great significance on the battlefield.

The Seventeenth continued: "Such a big thing has happened, which is why I urgently summoned you here to discuss what to do. ”

The officials began to talk and say everything, whether it was a civilian minister or a military general, they all freely expressed their opinions. However, there was no unified result of various opinions for a while, whether it was attacking or defending or retreating, or fighting and peace, each said something reasonable, so the seventeenth did not want to make a decision for the time being.

After the meeting, Chavalo returned home with some of them, and was supposed to deal with the official business of the war immediately, but when the butler learned that the GIWB men were coming, he told the officials to wait a while, and went to the lounge to see the Bottle of Fallen Hess.

The bottle followed him into the office study, and said, "Mr. Shavalo, I have been to several members of your Christine family, and it is understood that they are indeed not suspicious. ”

"I'm glad you can come to such a conclusion. Chavalo invited him to sit down, sat back at his desk, and said, "But the Demon Moon has been busy lately, and I may not have more time to receive you." ”

"It's all right, Mr. Chavalo. "Bottles already have some friendship with Christine Chavalo through previous relationships, so the name is a little more casual. He said: "I have heard the bad news of your country on the way here, and I deeply regret the murder of your crown prince. ”

"The death of the crown prince is indeed a great blow to our country, and the war on both sides is very busy. Now that you've investigated, I hope GIWB won't get in the way of my Christine family again because of Master Ravel. ”

"Nope. The bottle's silver-gray eyes looked at Shavalo and said, "Actually, we have a new clue. And I also have new ideas. ”

"What clues?"

The bottle wiped the hair from his forehead and said, "Investigating the case with me, another colleague in the royal capital of Santa Vickya, he found a clue. This person is suspected to be from your Christine family. ”

"Oh!" Chavalo's eyes narrowed. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This is impossible. The Demon Moon and St. Bikkoa have always been hostile countries, and ordinary civilians seem to be a little distinct, not to mention that the people of our Christine family will not go to St. Bikja easily. And as far as I know. Members of the Christine family, who are not currently going to San Vicquea, if they want to go. I'll be told about going to Santa Vickya. On what basis did your colleague judge that person to be from my Christine family?"

"Red eyes, white hair. The bottle said, "This is the inheritance inherent in your family. ”

Xia Valo said: "It's true that all members of my Christine family have red eyes, but not every one of them has white hair, but most of them are. But this doesn't prove that person is from the Demon Moon Christine family, there are not many people who are born with red eyes on Shijie, but it is not a few. ”

"I don't know what to say, but my colleague said that the man's eyes were very red. With a strange feeling, it is a feeling that people can't forget at a glance. I feel that way in the eyes when I look at you now. ”

Xia Valo's face finally changed color, and he hurriedly asked, "What does that person look like, how old is it?"

"In my twenties, very young. What it looks like. Long white hair, about 1.83 meters tall, with a long figure, delicate facial features, snow-white skin, very beautiful, and always carrying a knife with him. The bottle told it one by one.

Chavalo couldn't tell who it was, but it did sound like it might be someone from the Christine family. Especially hearing about the long white hair and snow-white skin, it made him shrink in his heart and think of his grandson, who had long since died. He remembered that Otis had long hair as a child, and that his skin was as white as snow. But is it possible? Otis is long dead.

He gave up on the idea, shook his head and said, "I don't know who it is. It would be nice to get his portrait or know his name. ”

"My colleague asked him for his name, but he wouldn't give it," the bottle said. He added, "I wonder if the assassination of your crown prince will have anything to do with Master Ravel's case?"

"This ......," Chavalo thought for a moment and said, "It is very likely that the murder of the crown prince was committed by St. Vicia, and if there is a connection, then Saint Vickya cannot escape the involvement." ”

"Have you found evidence of the murder of the crown prince?"

"There is evidence, but there are some doubts. ”

"What a doubt. Bottle asked.

Chavalo looked at him, "There's something involved, I'm afraid I can't tell you." ”

The bottle retracted and asked, "Okay, sorry, forgive me for being presumptuous." ”

Xia Valo took a sip of tea and said, "If there is nothing else to do, then please leave, I still have a lot of things to do." ”

"Oh, I have one more thing. The bottle took out the waste paper he had picked up from the trash basket in the lounge and asked, "Do you recognize the words on this?"

"Huh?" Chavalo narrowed his eyes, "What?"

The bottle said: "As far as I know, this kind of text doesn't seem to have appeared on shijie." So I wonder how you can have it here. ”

Xia Valo frowned: "You mean you've seen these words?"

The bottle said: "This kind of writing should be my mother tongue." ”

"Your native language?"

The bottle lifted the hair that covered his ears and said, "Actually, I am of half-elven blood, and this writing is elven script. Or rather, elven script. ”

Xia Valo looked at his pointed ears in amazement, just like the legendary subhuman race of goblins that had long since disappeared and became extinct!
