When the smoke cleared, Duke coughed and slipped out of the corner where he was hiding, looking around warily.

He sensed something was wrong when the bead began to absorb the light from outside, and he thought that Agnes had prepared something like a magic bomb in a frenzy, but fortunately it was just a directional magic ray in the end.

It's just that the power of this ray is very powerful, Duke looked at the huge hole in the wall in front of him that was half higher than himself, and the cold wind blowing in from the outside, he was still afraid for a while, thinking that if this ray suddenly turned to hit him, he estimated that there would be no ashes left by now.

Just like the assassin just now, he can no longer be found in the entire room, even if you use all your mental strength to search, you can't find it.

Except for a pool of red, glaring blood on the ground and a few rags, the other party did not seem to leave any traces.

As a result, Duke was not sure whether the assassin had died under the last rays of the bead's magic or had escaped first in the chaos.

But there was one thing he was sure of.

"Saved!"

Duke finally breathed a sigh of relief, the powerful magic shock destroyed all the silenced magic around him, and the sound in the castle had spread throughout the northern fortress.

Faintly, Duke could also see a fiery red figure flying rapidly from a little farther away, and this uniquely recognizable fighting spirit was undoubtedly Lenia.

In the distance, a long dragon of several torches was winding its way this way, and in fact Duke didn't think it was necessary for so many people to come, but they couldn't hear it even if he shouted from so far away.

Click!

Just when Duke completely let go of his body and mind, the remaining door suddenly remembered the sound of the door lock being unlocked, which made Duke's whole person tense up instantly, groping for some self-defense things in his hands, and the magic in his body began to work at high speed to prepare for the next danger.

Before he could find a suitable thing, the wooden door opened slightly, and a snow-white face squeezed in through the crack in the door, his eyes were looking in, and his mouth was still sluggling.

When he saw the true face of the visitor, Duke was really relieved, and it turned out that the first person to arrive at the scene at this time was Agnes, who also lived in the castle.

Not to mention that now there is a strong and powerful helper rushing to help, just tonight, it is almost the last bead that Agnes gave to save his life, which is already very touching to him.

"Wow, you're really not dead, are you?"

However, as soon as Agnes opened her mouth, Duke was still not moved, and even had the urge to beat her up if he could beat her.

"Do you want something to happen to me?"

Duke replied angrily, and Agnes grinned and waved her hand in a casual apology, then walked around the room on her own.

"Hey, how did you know someone was going to trouble me tonight?"

This is also the most puzzling thing for Duke so far, this unlucky saintess was able to predict that she would suffer from the bloody disaster tonight, and gave herself life-saving props, is there really any magic that can't be done?

"Well!" Agnes continued to fumble around the room, finally stopping in front of the bloodstain, "It's simple, it's just that you're too stupid." ”

"What's so stupid?"

"I saw someone following you directly! Such a big black shadow, this assassin is also stupid, relying on his special ability to swagger behind you. ”

Agnes said indifferently as she observed the blood stains on the ground with her right index finger, her tone full of pride and mockery of Duke and the Assassin.

"You're saying he's been following me all the day?"

"Yes, it's a big mess! I'm afraid I'm still wandering around in front of me if I don't hold back my laughter, and you won't be stabbed tonight!"

Well?

Co-author, can I avoid this assassination tonight?

"Then you didn't tell me earlier, and you only gave me a bead, and this bead can't be broken! If I hadn't used it to block it in a whim, I'm gone!"

Thinking of the dangerous scene just now, Duke couldn't help but yell.

"You can't crush this?" Agnes' eyes widened as if she was meeting Duke for the first time, "Ben Saintess's two fingers were crushed, okay, you're too weak for a big man, right?"

"As for warning you in advance...... "Wouldn't you have been able to thank me as much as you are now, if I had told you first, wouldn't you have thanked me as much as you do now?" and I wouldn't have been able to watch the big show all night...... Uh......"

"You say, you watched a play all night?"

Capturing the anomalous words revealed in Agnes's words, Duke asked as he stared at Agnes' eyes in a dangerous arc.

"Aha, no, how could I do such a conscienceless thing, right?" Agnes waved her hand, and squatted on the ground again with a weak heart and pretended to probe the bloodstains, while saying: "There is a lot of information in this bloodstain, I have to take a good look at it, don't disturb me first!"

Duke was still thinking about arguing with Agnes for a few words, but saw Lenia jump in directly through the hole in the wall and asked with concern, "Lord, are you alright?

"It's okay, thanks to Agnes at your feet, I wasn't hurt. ”

"Your Highness, under my feet?"

Only then did she find herself jumping directly out of the hole, and Agnes, who had been squatting on the ground to check for bloodstains, was directly trampled on the ground by her.

"Non-...... I'm so sorry!" Lenia quickly moved her steps away and helped Agnes to her feet as she lay on the ground, cleaning her dust from her body, while Agnes just pouted and didn't speak.

"Okay, Lenia didn't mean it, you just forgive me?" Duke saw that there was some embarrassment between the two of them, although Duke had praised Lenia countless times in his heart, but it was still not easy to show it on his face, so he deliberately diverted the topic and said, "What did you investigate from these bloodstains?"

Speaking of Agnes's investigation just now, she finally stopped sulking, glared at Lenia with some dissatisfaction, and then began to clasp her hands on her chest and say slightly arrogantly: "There are so many things to see?"

"For example?"

"Let's say this assassin isn't human......"
