The silver-masked man with the sword in his hand didn't seem to be at a disadvantage even when fighting Sacred Swordsman Liyoulo alone. Instead, he seemed to be even more valiant.
While Peace Between Man And Nature was secretly impressed by the strength of the silver-masked man who had barged into the palace, she was about to lend a hand. However, at this moment, two figures simultaneously appeared on the roof of the princess' inner palace.
Sacred Swordsman Liyoulo wasn't the only one guarding the princess. There were two other Sacred Sages as well!
The two Sacred Sages had both gathered powerful magic power at this moment.
Seeing this, the silver-masked man urged the sword in his hand to slash out an enormous arc of light, then leapt into the air. The silver-masked man's clear voice could be heard, "Today's sword test is over. We'll fight again another day. Goodbye, everyone."
Loud laughter filled the palace, but how could the two Sacred Sages let him go?
Two powerful magic attacks soared into the sky, instantly evaporating the clouds in the sky … When everything settled down, there was no trace of the silver-masked man. It was unknown whether he had died under the combined attacks of the two Sacred Sages, or whether he had seized the opportunity to escape.
However, the palace was now a mess.
Sacred Swordsman Liyoulo landed on the ground, while Peace Between Man And Nature quickly walked up to him, "Master, just now …"
"He's definitely a powerful Sacred Sages." Sacred Swordsman Liyoulo's expression was solemn, "I basically know all the Sacred Sages among the humans, but this person is very unfamiliar … Now that the palace is in chaos, it's inconvenient for you to stay here. Take this opportunity to leave the palace. If there's any news, I'll send someone to inform you."
Peace Between Man And Nature could only nod and quickly leave.
After this, Sacred Swordsman Liyoulo returned to the princess' inner palace, only to see the two Sacred Sages together with the head maid Laura.
Although her position in the palace was only the head maid of the princess, Laura's true identity was that of a dragon … Although she had the appearance of a beautiful young girl, her true form was that of a dragon of the continent. Compared to human Sacred Sages, she wasn't the least bit inferior. Sacred Swordsman Liyoulo naturally couldn't underestimate her.
"Mistress Laura, the two of you." Sword Saint Li Youluo quickly said, "I just fought with the intruder, but I couldn't figure out his background. Did you guys discover anything?"
The two Saint Level Masters shook their heads … they had only unleashed a powerful attack at the end, and it couldn't even be considered an exchange of blows with an assassin, so they knew very little about it.
"Anyone who dares to assassinate His Highness is an enemy of the Dragon Clan." At this time, Laura indifferently said, "The last Saint who dared to provoke the Dragon Clan, what happened to him, the three of you should know."
In the end, the dragons of the continent were more powerful. The reason why the Kingdom of Elnis could dominate the entire continent was because of the support of the dragons of the continent. As the saints of the human kingdoms, they were more aware of the situation.
"Don't worry, Lady Laura. We'll be guarding the entrance of the palace for the next few days. We won't allow the same thing to happen a second time." One of the Saint Masters quickly said, "Was Princess Carol frightened?"
"His Highness is still taking an afternoon nap and has not been frightened." Laura indifferently said, "But if that assassin had taken a few steps forward, I'm afraid he would have already woken up … If he annoyed His Highness, I'll find someone to punish him."
Sword Saint Li Youluo and the two Saint Masters looked at each other calmly.
At this time, a maid outside the palace came to report that King Amos was currently leading a large number of guards.
Laura waved her hand and said, "Tell the King that the Princess is fine, there's no need to worry. Since he didn't come when the incident happened, there's no need for him to come now. Tell him to pay attention to his own safety, maybe the next one to be assassinated will be him … Lord Sword Saint, why are you still here?"
"Then let's go outside and take care of things." Sword Saint Li Youluo nodded.
The three Saints slowly withdrew from Princess Carol's palace.
As soon as they stepped out of the door, one of the Saint Masters turned around to take a look, snorted coldly, and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Sword Saint Li Youluo bitterly smiled and looked at the other Saint Master beside him and said helplessly, "You can talk to him better than I can. I'll have to trouble you to console him."
The Saint Master who stayed behind coldly snorted and said, "If we didn't receive the kindness of the Dragon Clan, we wouldn't have to suffer like this today … A dignified monarch actually had to eat his own daughter's cold shoulder. It's said that the Emperor of Elnis, King Amos, is a gigolo of the Dragon Clan's Princess, it's true!"
"Although His Majesty used the Dragon Clan's power to seize the throne, he has never used the Dragon Clan's power in his many years of conquest." Sword Saint Li Youluo shook his head and said, "We can't erase his achievements."
"So what? The Kingdom of Elnis is still under the control of the Dragon Clan. " The Saint Master shook his head, "Forget it, I'll get angry if I talk too much … By the way, Li Youluo, I heard that your student came to the palace to look for you. Did something happen at the Royal Capital Garrison?"
Sword Saint Li Youluo said without batting an eyelid, "It's nothing. It's just a daily report. After all, I haven't been there for a long time."
"Even if you're not a human Saint Swordsman, as the head of the Royal Capital Garrison, you have to be the bodyguard of that monster … that princess. It's really hard on you." The Saint Master patted Sword Saint Li Youluo's shoulder, "I'll go see that guy. He won't be angry for long. Don't worry."
"Thank you."
At this moment, a guard came to Sword Saint Li Youluo's side and said in a low voice, "Lord Li Youluo, His Majesty wants to see you."
"I'll go right away." Sword Saint Li Youluo nodded.
… …
It wasn't outside Princess Carol's palace, but a courtyard not far from the Princess's palace. When Sword Saint Li Youluo arrived, King Amos was sitting alone in the pavilion.
"Your Majesty."
"I heard you fought with the assassin for the longest time. Can you tell who he is?" King Amos pointed at the stool beside him and motioned for Sword Saint Li Youluo to sit down.
He was a human Saint Swordsman, but he was also a subject of the kingdom. There were some etiquette he didn't intend to overstep, so he just stood and said, "I can't tell … The assassin probably didn't intend to reveal his identity. Although he's strong, he's hiding a lot of his strength because of the sharpness of his sword."
King Amos pondered for a moment, then said, "Who do you think might want to assassinate Carol?"
Sword Saint Li Youluo pondered, "Now that the kingdom dominates the continent and the princess's identity is so special, it's reasonable to say that only the remnants of destroyed kingdoms would dare to make a move against the princess. Then, it would be those who had a grudge against the dragons. Perhaps they would have such a motive."
The Yamos King muttered to himself, "If Carol is assassinated, the dragons will definitely vent their anger on me … As long as there is even the slightest hint of the dragons wanting to abolish me, the seemingly powerful kingdom will have hidden dangers, right?"
"That's not necessarily true." Sword Saint Li Youluo thought for a moment, then said, "But it's inevitable that the dragons on the continent will be angry … The assassination of Princess Carol might just be an attempt to disrupt the current political situation. As for the specific goal, we don't know much, so it's hard to judge."
King Amos sighed, "The national tournament is about to begin … I keep feeling that something will happen. Li Youluo, I still need you to keep an eye on the palace guards. "
"I know what to do." Sword Saint Li Youluo thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Your Majesty, there's one more thing. Just now, the Minister of Peace Between Man And Nature came to me and told me about a murder that happened in the capital yesterday. Does Your Majesty know who the victim is? "
"Is it some big shot?" The Yamos King frowned. "For you to take the initiative to mention him to me, he shouldn't be a nobody, right?"
"It's the Explosive Hammer King, Max, who once charged into the dragons' territory and provoked them to hunt him down on the continent!"
King Amos couldn't help but open his mouth, then frowned slightly, and said, "Tell me the details."
Sword Saint Li Youluo began to speak slowly.
…
…
King's City, [Locke's Weapon Shop].
Ji Lian poked her head out of the window and then closed the window — not long ago, there was a sudden loud explosion in the sky above the palace, followed by a scene of flames soaring to the sky.
Not long after, all the guards and soldiers of the Royal Capital began to move, going door to door in search of something.
"Looking at the situation, I'm afraid there won't be any peace today." Ji Lian returned to the table and sat down, looking at Boss Luo who was reading a book, then said, "I don't know who's so daring to enter the palace to assassinate … Could it be the remaining forces of the other countries?"
Boss Luo was reading a book about the history of the continent … He bought it on the way back from Zehart's residence.
Hearing this.
Luoqiu asked curiously, "Remnants of the forces?"
Ji Lian nodded and said, "Ever since King Amos took over the throne, the Kingdom of Elnis has been at war for the past ten years or so. King Amos is a great king. Except for some hidden tribes or small forces living in desolate lands, he has almost conquered the entire continent. You don't know, but over the past few years, the King's City has been hearing news of great victories every day. It's amazing … Only last year did things start to calm down, and the war ended. But because of this, there are often remnants of the destroyed countries who sneak into the King's City to assassinate King Amos. "
"After many years of war, he has almost conquered the entire world." Boss Luo closed the book and suddenly asked curiously, "With such a high intensity war, can the Kingdom of Elnis withstand it?"
"That I don't know." Ji Lian shook her head and said, "But I heard from my father that this kind of fighting method is called 'using battle to nurture battle'. The places that the Kingdom's Iron Cavalry passed through were basically plundered … Although this method can cultivate an invincible army, it will cause endless troubles. He said that this King Amos is a madman."
At this moment.
"Max is right. King Amos is indeed a madman. Years of war, it seems that he has conquered the entire world. But in the entire continent, other than the King's City of Elnis, which seems to be unprecedentedly prosperous, there are corpses everywhere. The people are homeless, and the streets are full of starving people. Some places are like purgatory … This kind of king is not only a madman, but also a tyrant. "
A voice that did not belong to this place quietly rang out … It startled Ji Lian. Ji Lian immediately looked towards the source of the voice and saw a figure standing beside the shelf.
A bright silver mask.
"Uncle Zehart!" Ji Lian shouted in surprise and joy. She rushed forward, "Uncle, where did you go? I went to your house to look for you, but I couldn't find you! Do you know that Father, Father, he … "
"I heard about what happened to Max." Zehart nodded and said in a low voice, "I also didn't expect that yesterday … would be the last time I see him. Ji Lian, please don't be too sad. I think Max doesn't want to see you in such a sad state. "
"I will. I will be strong." Ji Lian nodded, then wiped her nose and said, "Look at me, I forgot to greet you … Sit down first, I will get you something to drink and eat. At this time, you probably haven't eaten anything, right?"
"No need, I just came to see you." Mr. Zehart shook his head, "I still have something to do, I have to leave soon."
"You are leaving again?" Ji Lian was startled.
Zehart nodded, "There is a problem with my business outside, I have to rush over and take a look. I will be leaving the city soon."
Ji Lian said, "Then I will prepare some dry food for you to eat on the way … It will be quick, uncle, wait for me, it will be quick!"
Then, without waiting for Zehart's response, Ji Lian hurriedly ran into the house … Here, only Boss Luo, Arraia and the silent Mr. Zehart were left.
…
Ji Lian ran into the house quickly, but suddenly stopped. She didn't prepare anything, her face showed hesitation.
"What should I do now … Should I inform the Lord of Peace Between Man And Nature?"
When she saw Zehart, she was pleasantly surprised, but she didn't immediately say that the Lord of Peace Between Man And Nature found out that she bought the dagger used to kill her father.
"What if … What if Uncle Zehart is innocent, and I inform the Lord of Peace Between Man And Nature, it is tantamount to betraying Uncle. He is so good to me, but I suspect him … "Ji Lian was in a dilemma," Should I confess to Uncle Zehart … But what if he is the murderer, will it alert the enemy … "
She didn't believe that Zehart was the murderer of her father, but at the same time, she didn't want to let go of any chance to find the murderer.
"I … What should I do?" Ji Lian smiled bitterly and muttered to herself, "Dad, can you tell me?"
She painfully leaned against the corner of the wall, curling up her body. The surrounding lights were not lit, so it was dark.
…
"Speaking of which, we seem to have met yesterday." Zehart finally spoke first.
"We have indeed met." Boss Luo smiled and nodded.
"During this time, I am very grateful to you for accompanying Ji Lian." Zehart said seriously, "This child has a deep relationship with Max … Although he seems to be much better now, I am afraid that when he is alone, he will hide and cry silently."
"Some people live, some people die." Boss Luo said casually, "Everyone will experience the death of a loved one, the pain may only be temporary."
"You are quite open-minded." Zehart nodded, "It seems that you are someone who has been through this."
Boss Luo didn't say anything.
At this moment, Zehart suddenly shook his hand, and a seven-colored treasure sword floated in his palm. He said indifferently, "This sword belongs to you, right?"
Boss Luo said calmly, "It doesn't belong to me, this is my sword."
As he said this, Boss Luo put the luxurious sword he bought at the small stall under the bridge on the table.
Zehart subconsciously frowned … He originally had some plans in his heart, but he didn't expect that the other side would do this kind of thing … He didn't expect this.
Zehart didn't say anything, but in the end, he put away the sword … With a wave of his hand, the sword disappeared, this was the ability of a professional.
He looked deeply at Boss Luo and was about to say something.
But Luoqiu said at this time, "Ji Lian, he should be in a dilemma now."
"What do you want to say?" Zehart frowned.
Boss Luo said casually, "During the day, the guards found the weapon that killed Mr. Max, you bought it from another weapon shop … It was a one-hit kill, there were no scars of fighting, the murderer probably didn't take advantage of Mr. Max's unpreparedness to suddenly attack, it's someone he already knows, and it's very likely to be a very close friend."
"Understood, you suspect that I am the murderer, right?" Zehart said indifferently.
Boss Luo said to himself, "The guards should have sent someone to watch this place in the dark, waiting for you to appear. Ji Lian, he probably doesn't know whether he should inform the guards or not. "
"Why are you telling me this?" Zehart narrowed his eyes, "Aren't you afraid that I'll suddenly make things difficult, or just leave?"
Boss Luo smiled and said, "Nothing, I just want to see what Ji Lian will do, and I also want to know how Mr. Zehart will react to Ji Lian's actions after knowing the whole story."
"This is …" Zehart said slowly, "Only the devil who plays with people's hearts would like to do something like this … Since you want to know how I will react, then I will fulfill your wish."
Zehart's eyes flashed with a trace of fierceness as he said this.
But at this time, Ji Lian had already walked out with a luggage bag, and said quickly, "Uncle, I prepared some food and drinks for you … Yes, what happened?"
Ji Lian felt that the atmosphere here was a bit strange.
