"Oh no, Leah!"

Gladstone picked up the guard's sword and rushed towards Leah's attic not far away, "Leah, are you alright?"

After kicking the door open and inspecting the room left and right to make sure there was no danger, Gladstone stopped by Leah's bed and woke her up.

"Uncle, what's going on? Why are you covered in blood?" Leah was awakened by the noise, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and seeing Gladstone holding a bloodstained saber, she was immediately suspicious.

"The Frost Witch killed the guards and fled, and I was afraid that she would hurt you, so I hurried here. ”

Gladstone lowered his sword and picked Leah up from the bed, "For your safety, I'll be staying in my attic from tonight, the most heavily guarded place in Petersburg, where the city's best guards are stationed. ”

"Lord Gladstone, the Frost Witch is seriously injured at the moment, she can't run far, it is recommended to seal off the city gate and conduct a door-to-door search. Chen Feng proposed.

But Gladstone didn't seem to want to accept Chen Feng's suggestion, he just wanted Paulia to be thoughtful, and he didn't want to spend time and energy dealing with the hot potato of the Frost Witch.

"There is no one in the city who is a match for the Frost Witch except you, and even if you find her, it will be difficult to subdue her, so it is better to open the gates and let her go. ”

In addition to being the chief witch of the Pants Clan, Greenland is also the goddaughter of the leader of the Orc Tartars, and leaving her in Petersburg will surely turn into an intractable scourge that will affect hundreds of thousands of civilians in Petersburg.

If you can't kill her secretly, then don't offend her.

In addition, even if all the elite knights under his command are dispatched, the difficulty factor of searching the entire city is still very high, and it may cause unnecessary panic.

"Well, I wasn't thinking about it very well. Chen Feng retracted his suggestion and returned to the attic where Leah was temporarily staying.

Even he was not completely sure that he would be able to defeat the injured Greenland.

"Chen Feng, what's the situation outside?" Leah straightened up and asked Chen Feng as she greeted her.

The twists and turns are all because of her.

"Lord Gladstone plans to let the Frost Witch go, and when she leaves Petersburg, he will seal off the city. ”

Chen Feng took out a pistol from the card, loaded the two bullets, and handed it to Leah, "I'm worried that the Frost Witch will do the opposite, she may not escape from the city, but take advantage of the chaos to kill back to the City Lord's Mansion, this gun is a gift I gave you at the beginning, and now I will give it to you for self-defense, when the gun sounds, I will appear." ”

"Well, I'll be careful, don't worry too much. Leah took the firearm and carefully placed it next to her pillow.

Since it was not possible to determine the intentions of the Frost Witch for the time being, Chen Feng simply slept on the floor in the attic, separated from Leah by only a few screens.

Although the entire Petersburg was heavily guarded, and there were four or five hundred knights guarding outside the attic, except for Chen Feng, those pro-guards who practiced martial arts and fitness really couldn't stop the witches who were studying magic.

"Leah, have you slept?" Chen Feng couldn't sleep, trying to find Leah to find out the clues.

"Not yet?" replied Leah.

"Things have developed to this point, and the current situation is already obvious, it is Queen Dale who colluded with the pants industry clan and wants to kill you, so the Frost Witch will kidnap you and hinder the coming-of-age ceremony, only in this way can the second prince Faller become the legal heir to the throne. Chen Feng calmly analyzed.

Headmaster Mani once said that in addition to members of the royal family, strangers who want to infiltrate the Monty Palace must first pass through layers of checks.

There are two of them, one is a naked body search, and the other is a magic detection gate, and no matter which of these two items is Greenland, it will not be able to pass normally.

She was stamped with the word "prisoner" on her back, a symbol of exile for felons, lower than a slave, and was not qualified to set foot in the palace of Monty, and once examined, she was screened out and executed on the spot.

Secondly, she contained a wealth of elemental power in her body, and it was impossible for those mid-level magicians guarding the detection door not to detect any abnormalities.

Therefore, if Greenland wants to infiltrate the Monty Palace, he must take the royal family's car, and he must be a direct royal family of the same line as the king, and he can enter and leave the palace freely without any interrogation.

"It's impossible, although the queen mother is stricter, she won't harm me, there must be someone else behind this matter. ”

Leah shook her little head and denied Chen Feng's conjecture.

Sixteen years of living under the same roof with Queen Dale, he knows her temperament and preferences well, although he is harsh, but he is still kind.

And Empress Dale is a very devout theocracy, usually cautious in her words and deeds, and the coming-of-age ceremony of the heir is a ceremony held in the sacred temple, so it is absolutely impossible for her to do anything that contradicts theocracy.

"Who is that? Who else in the palace of Monty wants to harm you? other princes or princesses?"

Liya's words, Chen Feng can fully understand.

The inhabitants of this magical continent, as long as they swear to the Pope, no matter how fake, will be recognized as true and valid, and they have divine power in their hearts, so they will not do anything offensive to the Holy Temple.

"According to the decree of the Monty Kingdom, the other princes and princesses are not eligible to serve as heirs because they are not the descendants of the queen. Leah once again denied Chen Feng's speculation.

"Then this matter is weird, and we need to go back to the palace to investigate slowly. ”

Chen Feng tried to clarify the relationship, but it was too complicated to find the mastermind behind the scenes.

According to Leah's words, she missed the coming-of-age ceremony, and the princes and princesses born to other princesses would not get any benefits, and there was no need to take the risk of colluding with the orcs.

Only the second prince Fale is the orthodox bloodline born to Queen Dale, who was born only half a month later than Leah, and is the most qualified to inherit the throne in place of Leah, and Leah is missing, and he is the most advantageous.

And at that time, the hiding place of the Frost Witch was the bottom of the Arowana Lake in the backyard of Dale's dormitory.

"Wait, if it weren't for Empress Dale, it would only be the second prince Fale, this bastard, I would have shot him in the head if I knew it. ”

As someone who has watched 800 episodes of Conan with his partner in the real world, these are very simple reasoning, and it is easy to see through the hidden mysteries in them.

"Are you Fale trying to kill me? Sister and brother of more than ten years, he won't do it. Leah frowned.

"Perhaps, he doesn't want to kill you, but just wants to imprison you and release you after the coming-of-age ceremony, the guards of the royal family dare not offend Her Royal Highness, so they can only go and ask the pants industry clan for help, and then promise all kinds of benefits. ”

When Chen Feng thought of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

If it is true that Faller is colluding with the trouser clan, then he is very likely to become the new puppet supported by the Tatar chieftain and dismantle the royal power of the Monty kingdom from within.
