"Wow! That's amazing! " Ceci looked around as soon as he entered the room. The room was covered in blood, and the scene was a little scary. However, Ceci didn't seem afraid at all. Instead, he looked very happy. "It's just like a scene from a horror novel."
"Did something really happen to Marshall?" Anthony asked from the side.
"How did you know?" Li Huailin asked immediately.
"There's blood everywhere. Of course, it's Marshall's blood," Anthony answered immediately. "It must be the person who caused the elemental invasion that captured Marshall …"
"And he even told us where he is out of the kindness of his heart, afraid that we wouldn't be able to find him and stop him?" Li Huailin asked with a smile.
"This …" Anthony was slightly taken aback. Indeed, why would the person leave such a message? If it were him, he wouldn't have left any clues to tell them where he was. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
"So it's obvious that the person's goal isn't to destroy the continent or anything like that," Li Huailin said immediately.
"Could it be … His Majesty?" Dernate, who was at the side, responded immediately.
"In other words, they knew that we would investigate this matter, so they led us all the way here …" Wilham, who was beside him, nodded slightly, seeming to agree with this suggestion.
"There aren't many people who know about this place, and one of them is Anthony. The person's goal is also very clear, and that's why he left those words for Anthony." Li Huailin said, "If that's the case, it's very simple. The person knows about Marshall, and he also knows that Anthony knows about Marshall's residence. However, in reality, not many people know about these two things. Even you, Wilham, don't know that Anthony knows about Marshall's residence, right?"
"Yes, I thought His Majesty hadn't seen Marshall before. After all, there weren't many people present when he came to look for the marshal. Besides, those people were ordered to keep their mouths shut, so His Majesty shouldn't know about it," Wilham said with a nod.
"Then … things are very simple." Li Huailin immediately said, "Apart from Anthony, there's another person who knows about these two things, and that is … Marshall."
"Eh?" Anthony was taken aback. "You mean Marshall …"
"Yeah, since they're targeting you, Marshall is definitely one of them. They have every reason to get even with you, right?" Li Huailin said.
"Yes …" Anthony nodded.
"If he was lucky enough to survive your attack back then, then he must be looking for an opportunity to take revenge on you. Unfortunately, your status was too high. You were originally the successor of the Murat Family, and your martial prowess was also very strong. It was very difficult for him to seek revenge on you. Thus, it dragged on for a very long time. By the time he mastered some consummate skill, it was already more than ten years later. " Li Huailin said, "Since he had mastered the consummate skill, of course, he wanted to take revenge on you. Therefore, he attacked you at the sentry post in the north, causing you to go missing. In the end, he didn't expect you to still be alive and even become the emperor. This made it even more difficult for him to take revenge, so he did this … In this case, everything seems to make sense, right?"
"According to the original plan, Anthony might be the only one who saw this because he thought that you definitely didn't want to publicize this matter. After all, this is a scandal of the royal family. He thought that you would come out alone to solve this matter, so he lured you here to see this, and then lured you to this place called Lerwel to kill you. I think he must have prepared a big gift for you there," Li Huailin said.
"So, all of this is my responsibility?" Anthony said with his head lowered. Li Huailin's words were reasonable, so Anthony had no choice but to believe it. Of course, the cause of this matter was him. Anthony blamed himself very much. He already felt sorry for Marshall, and now that he heard the whole thing, he was even more disappointed.
"Your Majesty …" When Delnate saw Anthony's expression, he wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know what to say. After all, anyone with a bit of logic would know that Anthony was in the wrong. Although Anthony's method of revenge was wrong, there was a reason for his actions. Delnate really didn't know what to say.
"I know … Let me take care of this," Anthony suddenly said.
"Your Majesty, don't do anything rash," Delnate immediately said.
"I know, I won't do anything rash," Anthony immediately said. "But this matter was caused by me, so no matter what, I should be the one to solve it."
"But since we already know who the other party is, this matter is easier to solve," Li Huailin immediately said.
"Do you have a solution, Duke?" Delnate immediately asked.
"Anyway, the other party isn't much." Li Huailin immediately said, "Just by looking at the setting, you can tell that the other party is definitely not much of a person. He could have just left a letter, but he insisted on such an exaggerated setting. So, it's obvious that he's a 'kid' with no shrewdness. I don't think there's anything to be afraid of. He can be easily dealt with."
"…" Delnate didn't know what to say.
"Where's Lerenwel?" Li Huailin turned his head and asked Ceci.
"You're already using me as a map?" Ceci said.
"Not a map. What's the use of a map? I'm using you as a GPS," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"What's a Lerenwel?" Ceci asked immediately.
"It's a good thing," Li Huailin said immediately.
"Is that so …" Ceci looked at Li Huailin with a puzzled expression.
"Pfft …" Raging Wind couldn't help but snicker when he saw Ceci's expression.
"Hey, he's snickering. It must be something bad, something that only you adventurers know about. You must be pranking me," Ceci said immediately.
"Alright, alright. Let's not talk about GPS for now. Where is Lerenwel?" Li Huailin asked again.
"East, not far from here." Ceci pouted. He seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Li Huailin's trick, but he still pointed to the east and told him the location.
"See, and you still say you're not a GPS," Li Huailin said immediately.
"You must be looking down on me!" Although he still didn't understand what GPS was, Ceci said unhappily.
"No, if you don't believe me, you can ask around. How awesome is a so-called humanoid GPS," Li Huailin said immediately.
"Erm … it's pretty awesome in a certain way," Raging Wind nodded naturally. It was definitely awesome to have a pathfinding system.
"Is it?" Ceci asked uncertainly.
"What kind of place is Lerenwel?" Li Huailin changed the topic.
"It's an abandoned town in the east. There shouldn't be anyone living there now, but there should be a lot of monsters." It wasn't Ceci who answered, but Wilham who was next to him.
"Hey, are you a humanoid GPS too?" Li Huailin turned around and asked.
"The battle that made the marshal famous was here …" Wilham said. "That's why I remember it."
"I remember in father's notebook that the place where he met that person seemed to be here too …" Su Lan chimed in.
"I understand. So it's a memorial site? That's the behavior of a child. "Li Huailin nodded slightly." There's nothing else to say. Let's go and kill it. "
"Understood." Anthony nodded solemnly. The group immediately set off towards the east. Lerenwel was a little far from Lequemsey City. Along the way, Li Huailin listened to Wilham's explanation about Lerenwel. Of course, it was mainly for Anthony.
Although this place was close to the main city and belonged to the humans now, the Demons had once fought their way here, which meant that the humans were almost at the brink of extinction. After all, this place was only a few dozen miles away from the main city. Back then, Morpheus, who wasn't a marshal yet, had stopped the Demons' army here and forced them to retreat. He then officially received the title of marshal from his father, who was Anthony's grandfather. Wilham was only a teenager back then and had also participated in the battle.
"I'm not too sure about that person. But if this is the place where they met, it's definitely not a good memory," Wilham said. Wilham explained, "Because the town of Lerwyre was also destroyed because of this battle. Although we've stopped the demons here and succeeded in the overall situation of the empire, almost all the residents of Lerwyre Town have died in this battle."
"In other words, Morpheus was also one of the culprits who destroyed Lerenwel." Li Huailin nodded slightly. "If that's the case, that lover's family might have died because of this too. That's why she couldn't forgive Morpheus and left him. That's probably the plot."
"..." Wilham did not say anything, but he did not deny it either. To them, the battle was just a battle to make a name for themselves, but it was a disaster for the people of Lawrenwell Town. He had a certain amount of guilt in his heart.
Li Huailin turned to Anthony and said, "Then the other party must have chosen this place to fight you to the death."
"Hmm …" Anthony nodded, but didn't say anything else. It seemed like he had already made up his mind. Li Huailin didn't ask much, and the group continued to walk towards their destination.
