Lady Carrie went through the poison creeper wall and saw a mist in front of her. She knew it was the effect of Abel's seclusion circle. At the same time, she also knew it was very impolite to disturb Abel. It was the time for class holders to train.
However, Grand Duke Edwina's order could not be disobeyed. Lady Carrie put her hand on the seclusion circle. After a little mana, she withdrew her hand. If Abel was in the circle, he would know someone was looking for him.
After a while, the fog of the seclusion circle began to dissipate, and a simple tent was revealed. Abel was wearing a casual robe and holding an alchemy bottle in his hand as he walked out of the tent.
"Carrie, what's the matter?" Abel's face was full of surprise. The alchemy bottle in his hand also showed that he was disturbed.
"Abel, come with me. Grand Duke Edwina wants to talk to you through the communication circle." Lady Carrie said softly, a little embarrassed.
"Ok, I'll pack up!" Abel said, waving the alchemy bottle in his hand.
When Abel returned to the tent, he couldn't help but be shocked by Grand Duke Edwina's decisiveness. He thought it would take a few days for Grand Duke Edwina's elves to find them, and then a few Duchess would testify to prove his innocence.
Now that Grand Duke Edwina had directly contacted him through the communication circle, it could directly prove his innocence. Of course, it was the so-called innocence.
Thinking up to this point, Abel put away the alchemy bottle. He turned and walked out of the tent with Lady Carrie.
"Ah!!" A scream scared Abel and Lady Carrie. They saw Lady Molly in loose clothes pointing at Abel.
"Molly, what are you shouting for?" A few other Duchess also came out of the tent and saw Abel at first glance. They couldn't help but look at Abel and Lady Carrie suspiciously.
"Don't talk, Grand Duke Edwina is waiting for Bennett's reply!" Lady Carrie looked at the Duchess. After a long time together, she knew what these Duchess wanted to say, but she couldn't say anything at this time. The communication circle in her tent was still open.
Hearing that Grand Duke Edwina was waiting for Bennett's reply, all the Duchess immediately stopped talking. Lady Molly covered her chest with her hands and looked at Abel very cautiously.
Abel looked at these Duchess speechlessly. It seemed like the huge water basin he brought for them today had made them too relaxed.
As soon as he entered Lady Carrie's tent, he saw Grand Duke Edwina's figure in the communication circle. He quickly stepped forward and bowed, "The prestigious Grand Duke Edwina, hello!"
"Abel," Abel's Edwina's, Edwina's, "Duchess.
"The prestigious Grand Duke Edwina, why are you looking for me?" Abel saw that Grand Duke Edwina didn't say anything directly, so he quickly asked.
"Nothing, just recently I received news that an organization is going to assassinate you, so I asked Carrie to call you over. You must be careful!" Grand Duke Edwina said with a smile.
"Thank you, the prestigious Grand Duke Edwina!" Abel bowed to express his gratitude.
"You should rest too!" Grand Duke Edwina waved her hand, and the communication circle was disconnected.
Abel and Lady Carrie looked at each other. Grand Duke Edwina's words changed too quickly. She woke them up in the middle of the night, and it was over just like that?
Unlike Abel, Lady Carrie really didn't know anything, but Abel knew very well. Now it was up to Grand Duke Edwina to deal with this matter.
In Angstrom City, Grand Duke Francisco, who was silent like a volcano about to erupt, sat in the Grand Duke's palace. Grand Duke Edwina was sitting next to him. The atmosphere between the two Grand Dukes was very tense.
"Edwina, how's the investigation going?" Grand Duke Francisco finally spoke first, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly eased a lot.
Grand Duke Edwina pointed at an intelligence officer standing in the middle of the hall and said, "Francisco, you know Adolphus is too troublesome. My investigation department's investigation reports are piling up like a mountain!"
Grand Duke Francesco lowered his voice, "Edwina, I want to know which elves are most likely to do this. This is your city, and you just wiped out my investigation department here. You're the only one who can do this!"
"Francisco, I'll tell you, but don't do anything irrational!" Grand Duke Edwina said softly.
"Edwina, Adolphus is dead, and I'm still sitting here talking to you. I've changed a lot!" Although Grand Duke Francisco looked like a middle-aged elf, he was actually an old elf. Because of the death of his successor, Begro City's development over the years had suddenly lost its goal.
"Ok, Francisco, on the night of Adolphus's death, there were 3 elves on the island he was on. Adolphus, the steward, and another elf whose identity was unknown. Adolphus and the steward died on the spot, and the other elf disappeared. This is what I know. If you want to know the latest news, you have to ask the investigation department!" Grand Duke Edwina said the most suspicious thing at the scene.
"Tell me, what's the latest news?" Grand Duke Francisco did not hold back. He pointed at the Angstrom City's investigation officer and asked.
The Angstrom City's investigation officer first looked at Grand Duke Edwina. After seeing her nod, he bowed to Grand Duke Francisco and said, "The prestigious Grand Duke Francisco, we've brought back the missing elf's coachman. The carriage was rented temporarily, so we don't have much information. However, we've confirmed the location of the rental. It's the Blood Hand Guild's base!"
"I've seen Adolphus's body. He was stabbed in the back of his waist and straight into his spine. Both the poison and the stab wound are fatal. This is a typical assassin's method. However, Adolphus had a passive defensive magic item I gave him. As long as he was attacked, it would activate. Normal assassins would not be able to kill him!" Grand Duke Francisco interrupted the investigation officer. It seemed like he agreed with the investigation of the Blood Hand Guild.
"The prestigious Grand Duke Francisco, the Blood Hand Guild has been captured by our investigation department and the sheriff. However, there wasn't much progress. According to the information we received, their leader went out at night and never came back!" The investigation officer continued.
"Tell me about the leader of the Blood Hand Guild!" Grand Duke Francisco nodded and said.
"Yes, Arvid, a Knight captain level elf warrior. He single-handedly created the Blood Hand Guild. It's the biggest Assassins Guild in Angstrom City. Since he rarely committed crimes in Angstrom City, the sheriff has always allowed him to exist!"
In fact, it wasn't just Angstrom City. Most elven and human cities had an Assassins Guild. These kinds of guilds could help the nobles deal with things they didn't want to get involved in. Assassins couldn't be banned completely. Instead of letting them live in the dark, it was better to let them live in the light and be monitored.
"Arvid has a lot of battle experience and can use most elven and human weapons. He's good at assassination, and his most famous achievement is that he assassinated a rank 9 Magus. Because of that, he has a very high reputation in the world of assassins! According to Arvid's portrait, the coachman has identified him as the elf who entered Prince Adolf's mansion! "The investigation officer bowed and returned to his original position.
"Find him, find his elf, and I will reward you with a million gold coins and a noble title. As long as you find him!" Grand Duke Francisco roared with a ferocious face. At that moment, he was very sure that Arvid was the murderer, or one of the murderers.
Grand Duke Edwina didn't say a word. She didn't get involved in the investigation just then. Based on her understanding of the Blood Hand Guild and Arvid, Arvid would never assassinate Prince Adolf. He was only interested in gold coins and power. Those were the only things that attracted him to see Prince Adolf. He definitely wouldn't kill Prince Adolf because it wasn't worth it.
