Even the castles and estates of the nobles were carefully searched, even the cellars and stables, and places such as warehouses were the most important.

Although the nobles complained about this, and those secrets hidden under the water were revealed by this wave of actions, they had to cooperate, and even behaved quite consciously and voluntarily.

This is not only because of the power of the Wild Lion family, but also because the furious Marquis Nou and Bishop Melissa personally sit in the center, listen to the reports of their subordinates, and judge them one by one.

In this city, as long as these two big men unite and want to do one thing, no one will be able to save face.

The incident was too big, the impact was extremely bad, the consequences were extremely serious, and it was appalling enough in the entire history of the empire.

The notorious pretender organized all the troops to infiltrate the heavily guarded first-class military city, and even infiltrated the castle in the street to assassinate the family and heirs of the Count of the United Army.

I believe that it will not be long before the news will spread throughout the empire and even the entire alliance.

The people of the entire city were terrified, and no one knew if those disguised murderers would hide by their side.

Some even looked at the familiar faces around them vigilantly, carefully distinguishing whether they were their relatives or not.

The night was deep, and the whole city was shivering, waiting for the dawn to come, and the castle that had just been extinguished by the fire, and it was not known whether the owner of it was good or bad.

Some people have ghosts in their hearts, and they are afraid of retribution from their political enemies if their secrets are discovered.

Some people have a clear conscience and sit calmly at home waiting for the results of the investigation.

Others gloat, sipping wine and calculating, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

In the Lion Castle, Philip sat on the sofa, his eyes scarlet, staring straight at the familiar figure lying on the bed.

Catherine, his mother, the person he cared about the most in the whole world, there was no one, he had never seen her so weak.

The real Duke Wayne had taken the train back to Lok Ma Town yesterday, along with Jasmine and several other students from Lok Ma Town, and they hadn't gotten off the train until this point, and there was no doubt about it.

His father, Matthew, who was far away on the eastern defense line, learned the news, and was on the way back with all his might, so he didn't take the train for the sake of safety, and the personal guards of a whole hundred people were randomly selected to form a circle a hundred meters away from him, protecting and supervising each other from afar.

The house on the hillside of the farm outside the city was empty, Alessandra was nowhere to be seen, she didn't even pack her clothes, and the two guards outside the door were attacked and knocked unconscious, and when she woke up, she couldn't remember anything.

and Lin Yun, the girl he loved to the bone, was lying on the bed in his room at the moment and fell asleep like a sleeping beauty.

It's just that the slender eyebrows are tightly wrinkled, and it's not something that Philip can easily wake up with a kiss.

"Did you find Paul?" asked Philip.

A man behind him leaned over and replied, "Not yet." ”

This is Paul's deputy, Chand, who is only 29 years old this year, a second-level awakened person.

Yes, Paul was missing, less than half an hour before Philip was attacked.

According to Chand, he was suddenly called away by his twin brother Jones, and he went nowhere.

Because this was in the city of Gokan, no one was alert that this would be the beginning of a conspiracy.

And the real Jones is now in the division headquarters of the Wild Lions, and has not left the barracks for three consecutive days.

'Duke', 'Yun'er', and 'Jones' are all the closest people around them, and they are also the people who are the least likely to guard against.

What's more, Philip still hasn't figured out why the famous Pretender organization would fall out of the nest, even at the cost of annihilating the entire army.

Is it worth spending such a high price just for the failed conspiracy in the imperial capital last year?

Philip didn't think it was logical, there must be something he didn't know about, but unfortunately no one could tell him the answer.

"What's new?"

"According to the results of the autopsy, all the killers were women, except for the man who pretended to be a farmer. ”

"The one pretending to be Duke too?"

"Yes, although the appearance and musculature are all the same as those of men, there is nothing important underneath. ”

Philip was silent, with a new appreciation for Madame Maya's ingenious ability to transform.

"I'll go see Yun'er, you can get busy first, and I will be notified as soon as there is news from Paul. He commanded.

"Yes, young master. "Chande retreated, this time the escort team lost its troops and its strength was greatly damaged, and he really had a lot of things to replan.

Especially when Paul's whereabouts were unknown, it was the best time for him to show his talents.

Philip came to Yun'er's room, nodded to Jane who was guarding the bed, and sat down on the edge of the bed, holding the cold little hands.

The delicate face in the past now has no trace of blood, and even if the eyes are closed, the slender eyebrows are still slightly wrinkled, I don't know if it is because of pain or worry.

Jane stood up, kissed Philip on the forehead, and walked out of the room.

At the time of the crime, she happened to be out for a makeshift party and narrowly escaped.

But it's mainly because the other party didn't take her as a target, otherwise I'm afraid it would be another tragedy.

The pretender's desperate attempt was entirely directed at Philip, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he guessed that it must have something to do with the shocking explosion outside the imperial capital.

But apart from Brad, Philip, and the executor Paul, there is no fourth person who knows what's going on.

The two women who were lying in the two rooms that were so important to him were undoubtedly implicated by him.

At this moment, it is impossible to say that Philip did not have a trace of remorse in his heart, but he felt more anger than grief and self-blame, and he longed to crush all the pretenders.

Yun'er's hand, like Catherine's, was hanging from a needle, and there was bright red blood flowing from it.

The moment she burst into the room, she jumped up and crashed away from Catherine, using her body to block the fatal blow for her.

The wound was in the lower abdomen, and the sharp dagger cut through the white skin, all the way forward, almost piercing the entire slender waist.

If it was just a knife wound, as long as it was rescued in time, it would have healed.

But the blue unknown poison attached to the dagger now made the wounds of the two women bleed incessantly, and they could only be maintained by this continuous blood transfusion after careful stitching.

But this is not a long-term solution, fresh plasma is good to say, but wounds that do not heal can lead to other infections, and there may be other effects that have not yet been seen.

The only way to do this is to find the source of the poison and concoct a suitable antidote, the key to which is the pretender leader 'Lady Maya', who is still hidden in the shadows.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Priest Monica walked in with a medicine box.

Philip hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Priest Monica, I'm going to trouble you again, does the antidote have eyebrows?"

Monica returned the salute and said reproachfully, "You should also rest in bed now, instead of walking around."

The wound on your body is even longer and deeper than Catherine's, and you see, the gauze is stained again. ”

Maybe it's the strong physique of the Awakened, or maybe it's Philip's years of training, although his wounds are also bleeding, but they are much slower than Catherine and Yun'er's, and as time passes, there are even signs of stopping.

He shook his head, didn't refute, just cooperatively took off his shirt and asked Monica to change his dressing.

"It's going to take a few more hours to separate the reducing poison, you really should go and rest for a while. Monica said as she applied the ointment.

Philip still didn't nod, but changed the subject: "This blue poison seems to be very rare, and there are no clues?"

Monica Lisso bandaged him and examined it again before explaining, "In my experience, this is a new type of mixed poison.

There are the ingredients of Starfall Grass in it, as well as the adeno-venom of the Golden Horn Snake, and the other ones need to be carefully distinguished, even if only one is not clear, it will affect the judgment of the final effect. ”
