Late at night, the sky palace.
When metterne Leopold hurried into the bedroom, Eckhart II, dressed in a loose robe, had been waiting for him behind the desk for a long time, and the elderly seal minister quickly bowed:
"Your Majesty, your former cabinet member, Chancellor of the exchequer, Lord siscott chann, died and returned to the arms of the holy cross just when he went to the Royal wizard College for a banquet!"
"The wizard Academy... I''m afraid it''s in a mess." akhat II said in an extremely flat tone without half a shock on his face:
"What''s the situation? Do you have any eyebrows?"
"It hasn''t been found out yet. A garrison has been sent to investigate and reported to the former Lord Justice Victor Seuss to investigate the matter." metney Leopold hesitated, but said:
"In addition, Lord elbird, the former wizard adviser, and his highness... Prince Brandon de sallion were present."
"Metterne..." akhat II raised his sharp eyes coldly:
"Are you implying something to me?"
"No such intention!"
Looking at the seal minister with a firm tone, akhat II just shook his head: "at this step, no more panic will help... Anyway, be sure to find out the truth."
"Yes." the minister in charge of the seal immediately replied.
At the moment he turned and left, the emperor behind him spoke again:
"In addition... The list I asked you to prepare, I hope it has something in mind."
Mettner''s figure was stunned, turned his back to his majesty and said, "the list of the next Chancellor of the exchequer... Will be handed over to you tomorrow morning."
"I''m still waiting for a few days to see which clowns volunteered." Eckhart II''s voice was extremely low and deep:
"Whatever the outcome, we must be prepared."
…………………………………………………
The black haired wizard stared at the figure lying in a pool of blood and protected the little wizard behind him with both hands.
For a quarter of an hour, the huge banquet hall was silent for a whole quarter of an hour, and a pair of wide eyes stared at the arrogant "siscott chann" adult, who had begun to doubt whether he was in a dream.
The shivering, bloody young man of the charn family knelt in a pool of blood, clutching the old man''s walking stick
Imperial nobles, former chancellor of the exchequer, leader of conservative nobles, an old fox who has lived for 76 years
Just... Died for no apparent reason?
Frowning, Loren immediately turned his eyes to gray Sal, but the middle-aged wizard was also pale; Even the master alberd Tarot, who took the initiative to stand up, forced a calm expression, his eyes were dull, and he looked in a trance
For real wizards, losing their mind is a dangerous precursor... Even if it is a college, this turmoil should not be in their plan.
Almost at the same time, the dark haired wizard thought of another more terrible situation.
The former chancellor of the exchequer died at the Royal wizard Academy... Whoever moved his hand, as long as he had a little relationship with the Academy
The consequences are unimaginable!
Just when the whole banquet hall was in a mess, the door was forcibly opened again; The soldiers with neat steps broke into the hall and roughly pushed away the wizard apprentices blocking the periphery.
The frowning Lorraine looked up and saw that the man who had always been was the garrison corps of the imperial capital Golovin.
"By the order of the former cabinet, we will take over from now on!" the legion with a serious expression shouted at the front:
"We have received a report that an assassin killed Lord siscott chann, the former chancellor of the exchequer, in the college!"
"No one is allowed to leave until the investigation of the whole incident is completed and conclusive evidence and the murderer are found!"
The voice fell, and almost everyone in the hall suddenly changed his face; A flash of amazement flashed from the corner of Loren''s eye and turned to look at the dignified officer.
No
There hasn''t been an hour since siscott''s death, and it''s still midnight; The garrison Corps can send investigators in a quarter of an hour?
And listening to his tone, it seems that he has characterized the whole incident as a "homicide".
The officer with a serious face went straight to the front of the Royal wizard adviser Albert Tarot. He didn''t even look at the fallen Lord siscott, whose bones were not cold, and said coldly:
"I''m very sorry, counselor of the Royal Wizard - please open the whole college and let us start searching and arresting prisoners immediately!"
Although he used a polite tone, the other party didn''t give alberd a chance to protest at all; With a wave of the long sword in their hands, the soldiers of the garrison Corps on both sides immediately came forward and pulled out the long sword in a neat and uniform way. The murderous spirit overflowed!
The trembling little wizard subconsciously pressed the "bright silver" around his waist, but was stopped by the black haired wizard next to him and shook his head gently.
No, you can''t do it now, or you won''t be able to tell.
"That''s outrageous. Why should we..."
Gray Sal, who was pale, stood up and was stopped by Elbert Tarot before he finished. The former wizard adviser still spoke softly:
"My Lord, if we agree to your terms... I''m afraid it won''t be too late tonight. Will the Royal wizard''s college become the murderer of Lord siscott chann?"
The expressionless officer''s eyes were cold: "sorry, I don''t understand what you mean."
"Lord siscott chann arrived at the Royal wizard college an hour ago; he was just coming for a walk tonight and didn''t attend the party at all."
Master elbird glanced at the body on the ground and sighed with regret: "in other words, even the wizards and all the guests present, even if they really want to, have no chance to do it."
"What''s more, Lord siscott''s trip was to announce the Empire''s funding for the college this year." how could we choose to assassinate the chancellor of the exchequer of the Empire in the college at this time? "
The officer''s expression was stunned, obviously speechless.
"On the contrary, the guy who specially tipped you off and provided obviously misleading remarks seems more suspicious."
The voice fell, and the kind Master elbird put his hands in front of him and his eyes were calm: "officer, what do you think?"
The officer pursed his lips as if he were choked up.
He did get the above hint and give an answer as soon as possible... At the banquet of the Royal wizard college, all the people present were noble children, prominent and rich people, leaders of various guilds and families, all of whom were the same.
If you want to hold them to find certification and material evidence, it can only be now!
Looking at this seemingly kind but actually unrelenting former royal wizard consultant, the officer was very heavy... He thought he had found a great opportunity to climb up, but he fell into an abyss that couldn''t climb out.
"In that case..." the officer who suddenly felt thirsty tried his best to restrain his irritability at the bottom of his heart: "would you please cooperate with us to investigate the guests present one by one, so as to find the murderer of the former chancellor of the exchequer as soon as possible."
Seeing that the other party finally lowered his posture, master elbird nodded slightly and looked solemn:
"Of course, this is what we should do - it is the responsibility of the Royal wizard college to let the distinguished guests die at the banquet!"
"Please also cooperate with these loyal garrison soldiers. The death of Lord siscott chann is a loss to the former cabinet and even the whole saklan empire. No matter what the result is, we must give an explanation to the chann family, the Empire and the emperor who lost their loved ones!"
When the voice fell, master elbird patted the young man of the Chans on the back, sighed and turned away; The guests here also began to divide into two rows according to the orders of the garrison soldiers, waiting for inquiries.
Just as the dark haired wizard was about to leave with the crowd, his sleeve was suddenly pulled; His eyes moved and he realized that gray Sal was standing behind him:
"What''s up?"
"Lord Loren Turin, please tell your highness." the middle-aged wizard lowered his voice, clenched his teeth and turned extremely pale:
"If the Royal wizard academy can survive this disaster
All the Wizards in the imperial capital will stand behind him without hesitation! "
