Chapter 382: Suspicion in the Palace

"This is within its ability, but the black collar has a violent temperament, and I still don't like people other than me to approach, let alone ride, His Royal Highness is a noble status, this matter is a bit too dangerous. Sean shook his head repeatedly.

Taking Sophia to the sky is equivalent to carrying a time bomb, and with a slight miss, all the efforts of the Eternal Night Army Leader in the Byron Alliance will come to naught, just look at the eyes of her female bodyguard who are about to eat people.

"Too dangerous?" laughed Sophia, "Your Excellency the Baron goes up and down every day, and everything is fine, how can you be in danger when you come to me? Where is the danger? Riding a horse may break my neck, will I not ride a horse? I may die on the battlefield, will I not go to the battlefield? The more you say that, the more interested I will be in meeting your giant eagle mount." ”

"I'll arrange it when I have time. Sean was clearly perfunctory in his words.

The black collar is really not a good character, although it is not as bad as the black horse stepping on the fire, there is always a bit of untamable wildness in his bones, and he is smart enough to do something unexpected by Sean at every turn.

"Wait until you have time, don't you have time now?, let's go, summon down and take a look, I know that this guy has been hovering above us, and many of the palace guards and maids have seen it, and stole one of the palace guards' horses. "The princess regent's interest was completely aroused.

Sean was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Stealing the war horse? Are you sure it was the giant eagle who did it? No, there has never been a shortage of food from this guy, what is it doing stealing the war horse? When did it happen?"

"The night before yesterday, a palace guard and two maids claimed at the same time that it was a black shadow that fell from the sky and captured the warhorse, but the light was not good at the time, and they couldn't be sure if the huge black shadow was your giant eagle, but there should be no other creatures around Valesta that could take the warhorse to the sky? Or were the three of them dazzled at the same time?"

"Why did you only tell me about it the night before yesterday?" Sean said with a frown, "I'm sorry, my tone is a bit rushed, I'll find out about it as soon as I can." ”

Sean's fierce reaction made Sophia stunned for a moment, and smiled comfortingly: "It's just a war horse, it's not a big deal, and it's not 100% sure." ”

"Stealing the war horse in the palace is not a big deal, so what is a big deal? stealing the people in the palace?" Sean's face darkened, "Please ask His Highness to send someone to take me to see the place where the war horse was captured, if it really has this kind of behavior, it must be stopped as soon as possible, and there can be no indulgence." ”

A dark cloud flashed in Sean's heart, and he didn't tell Sophia that the black collar had a history of animal abuse, so it wouldn't be a repeat offense, right?

According to the analysis of Arnold, an expert in falconry training in the Eternal Night Army, the black collar did this in the Eternal Night Army Leader before, not because of temperament, but with a clear purpose, that is, to force the Thunder Golden Eagle out.

Since being captured by the Eternal Night Army and embarking on the official road back to ancient times, the Black Collar has not been subjected to any more drastic acts of animal cruelty.

Sean is about to forget about this trouble, and now in the Lancelot Royal Palace, it is a little tingling to the scalp, and it is a shame that Sophia did not think in other directions, otherwise he would not be able to wash it by jumping into the Jacob River.

Let Sean do this, Sophia also suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter, the other party's giant eagle mount can steal a war horse from the palace, doesn't it mean that the other party can enter and leave the palace at will?

"Let's go and see. Sophia no longer regarded this matter as an inconspicuous matter, and nodded at her female guard captain and said, "Take us to the place where the war horse was lost." ”

"Please follow me. ”

Biluo took Sophia and Sean and her party through the palace for nearly a quarter of an hour, stopped in a small courtyard, pointed to the stable not far away, and said, "It's the war horse here that has lost one." ”

Sean only walked around the small courtyard for a long time, then breathed a long sigh of relief, turned to Sophia and said, "Regardless of whether that war horse was taken from the sky or not, one thing is certain, it will definitely not be done by the black collar." ”

"How does Your Excellency prove it?" asked Sophia, before Sophia could speak.

Guarding the safety of the entire palace is her greatest responsibility, not to mention losing a war horse, even if she loses a cat and a dog, she has to check to the end, she just has no clear evidence in her hand to prove that the war horse was stolen by the giant eagle, otherwise even if there is no order from the princess regent, she will find the door.

"Later. Sean beckoned to everyone, "Leave this courtyard for now. ”

After everyone withdrew, Sean took out a whistle with a strange shape and blew it hard, making a slender whistle.

"What is this?" said Sophia, looking inquiringly.

"It's called an eagle whistle, don't look at the sound it doesn't make much, but it comes out very far, and the black collar can be heard even if it is a few kilometers away. Sean explained, putting it in his mouth again and blowing hard.

"You've got a lot of weird stuff in your hands. Sophia couldn't help but admire.

The best thing about messing around with Sean is that you will encounter a little surprise inadvertently.

"It's okay, it's okay. Sean looked humble, and said secretly in his heart, there will only be more and more strange things in our hands, more than you can imagine.

After the sixth whistle, there was a crisp eagle chirp in the air.

At first, it was faint, but when I heard it again, it was already crisp and loud, and by the time I reacted, it was already close at hand.

Then a strong wind blew in his face, and a shadow was cast from the sky like a small dark cloud.

"It's huge!"

"It's beautiful. ”

Everyone present couldn't help but sigh.

That small dark cloud was none other than Sean's Giant Eagle Mount Black Collar.

With its wingspan fully open, its size is even larger, far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Although Sean has often ridden it back and forth between the royal capital Valesta and the Swamp of Despair in recent times, he is very secretive, and takes off and lands in a small estate some distance from the royal capital Valesta.

The ownership of these small estates has naturally fallen into the hands of the Eternal Night Warlord.

The way he appeared in front of the Council of Elders for the first time was not in line with the low-key style he admired, and Sean would not do it unless necessary.

Looking out and looking up close are two very different things.

After a year-long non-stop lightning strike from Leita, the reverting transformation of the black collar has been completed.

It's just that I don't know if the transformation has not been completely completed, or if this reverting transformation itself cannot fully reach the level of the ancestors, or if the bloodline of the black collar itself is not pure.

Compared with the Thunder Golden Eagle in the Soul Beast Card, there is still a big difference in the black collar.

In terms of body size, the black collar is larger, and the wingspan exceeds that of the thunder golden eagle by more than four meters, but the color of the wings is not pure, but the surrounding area is golden, and the core position is still snow-white.

This makes it look as if its snow-white body is covered with golden veins, and as its wings vibrate, it undulates like a wave, which is very beautiful.

This strong visual impact has a fatal attraction for those visual animals (women?).

I was so fascinated that I completely forgot the main purpose for which I had brought it in.

Fortunately, Sean did not forget, and pointed to the small courtyard where the lost war horse was lost and said: "Your Highness, please see, there are towers on both sides of this courtyard, one side is the main building, and there are low stables below, even if the war horse is in the center of the courtyard, the black collar swoops down, and it is no problem to catch the horse, but if you want to take it into the air, it will inevitably cause varying degrees of damage to the surrounding buildings, but I see that the surrounding buildings, including the stables, are intact, so it can be concluded that this matter is not done by the black collar." ”

In fact, there is no need for Sean to analyze and explain.

The first time Sophia saw the black collar, they knew it wasn't it.

Because it is too large, and the location of this courtyard, which belongs to the old residential area of the royal palace, is old, and the layout is also a wartime layout, with a compact structure and many towers, it is too narrow for it.

Sophia didn't say anything, but turned to look at the chief of the female guard, Biluo.

Biluo immediately bowed down and replied, "This matter is my mistake, I will immediately re-investigate this matter thoroughly and personally interrogate the three witnesses......"

"Bang!"

A loud bang interrupted Biluo's words.

"Somebody jumped off the building. ”

"Someone committed suicide. ”

A panicked scream came.

It happened suddenly, and there was a distance between them, and the three big knights present failed to react.

Seeing a woman dressed as a palace maid, she fell down in front of them like a kite with a broken string, although the position she fell out of was not high, only less than seven or eight meters, but her head was down, and her neck was twisted to an incredible degree on the spot, and there was no possibility of rescue.

"What's going on?" said Princess Regent, with an unconcealed anger in her tone.

Her maid actually committed suicide by jumping off the building in front of the guests, making her lose face.

The female guard's face became even more ugly, and she replied in a low voice, "This is one of the three witnesses to the loss of the warhorse. ”

"Witnesses committed suicide, such a coincidence?" said Princess Regent with a gloomy face, "Find the other two witnesses as soon as possible." ”

"Yes. The chief of the female guard, Biluo, answered, but her heel did not move.

"What are you doing stupidly, are you going to wait for them to collect the corpses?" said Sophia angrily.

"But......" In the mind of the female head of the guard, Sophia's safety comes first, after all, this abnormal incident has just happened.

"I'm still worried about my own safety in my own home, if that's the case, I don't have you like you. Sophia was even more angry.

"Yes, Your Highness. Biluo reluctantly agreed, and before leaving, kicked Wendy the Black Rose, who was leaning against the corner of the wall and snoring.

"What's wrong, it's time to eat?" Wendy looked left and right in confusion, and said with wide-eyed round eyes, "Where did the big eagle come from, so cute, big eagle, come down and let me touch it." ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but have a black line, this guy is confused, not ordinarily powerful, how did she just follow her? After so many years, she hasn't been lost, it's a miracle.

"Don't make trouble, I'm going to leave for a while and protect Your Highness. Biluo admonished.

"No problem, with me," Wendy assured confidently, patting her bulging little breasts.

In view of her previous confused performance, in exchange for only questioning eyes, Biluo had no other better choice but to leave it to her.

"Is Your Highness too sensitive?" Sean also felt that this matter was a bit too coincidental, and there was a bit of conspiracy in it.

"Hey, there are not so many coincidences in the world, especially this kind of thing, they swore on the front foot that they saw the giant eagle suspected of His Excellency the Baron stealing the palace warhorse, Your Excellency has just clarified this misunderstanding, and there is a suicide on the back foot, don't you think there is a problem inside?" Princess Regent sneered, "I want to see who is playing such a small trick into the palace." ”

Sean could only be silent, and a trace of coldness really flashed in his heart.

If someone really targets this layout and provokes the relationship between the princess regent and the commander of the eternal night, the means are indeed ruthless enough.

After all, the giant eagle mount is just a bird of prey, even if the princess regent and Sean are angry, there is no way to tell the difference, who knows if the war horse was eaten by the black collar in the stomach?

If you sprinkle a little more recognizable corpse on the outskirts of Valesta, it will be even more indefensible.

The other party doesn't necessarily have to do anything, just sow a seed of doubt, and whenever this similar situation occurs in the future, people can't help but think about the black collar.

At that time, the only way for Sean to win the trust of Princess Regent seems to be to endure the pain and kill the black collar of the giant eagle mount with his own hands.

This is tantamount to cutting off one's own leg and greatly restricting one's travel.

This kind of conspiracy theory is only speculation at present, and the conclusion still needs to wait for the results of Biluo's investigation, and it is more likely that it will not be resolved, after all, the current investigation methods are too backward, and it is not generally difficult to restore the truth of the matter.

"Big Eagle, why don't you come down?"

"What's your name?"

"You're not Baron Sean's Eagle Mount, are you?"

"Big Eagle, will you let me sit down too?"

"If you don't come down, I'll go up and look for you!"

Wendy, who was kicked awake by Biluo, was in good spirits and no longer had the usual sleepy appearance, but the reason for this was not the super sense of responsibility to protect Sophia, but the super love for the black collar, which instantly turned into a little chatter, chattering around the black collar.

It's just that the person she talked to, the black collar, didn't even look at her.

"If you don't answer, I'll take you as an answer. Wendy's mindset is also not measurable by common sense, and with a sprint, she runs to the bottom of the tower, and instead of taking the stairs, she climbs up the ape-like bump along the bulge in the wall.

"Wendy, don't mess around. ”

"Don't mess around with the black collar. ”

Sophia and Sean exclaimed at the same time.

"Hey!" Wendy climbed to the top, exhaled and kicked the ground so hard that even those under the tower could clearly hear the sound of the stone breaking.

Wendy was in the air, with one hand, like a young eagle, swooping down on the saddle around the black collar's neck.

Sophia's orders didn't work, but Sean's did.

The black collar was stunned for a moment, but did not react immediately, allowing Wendy to land smoothly on its back and climb into the saddle.

This can poke a hornet's nest.

The black collar that came up with a violent temper didn't even pay much attention to Sean's orders.

Chirp!

An angry eagle roared, and the black collar rose into the air with a whirlwind.

As he climbs to the heights, he spins wildly, trying to shake Wendy off his back.

It's just that it has a tailor-made saddle on its back, but it fully takes into account the danger of the air.

Once the legs are inserted into the leg loops, even without force, you can easily hang an adult weight upside down.

Not to mention Wendy, who has the strange power of a champion knight, it is not too easy to fix her body.

"Fun, fun, again, again!"

Not only did the black collar fail to knock Wendy off her back, but Wendy laughed excitedly.
