Chapter 128: Listening

At this point, we have begun to see a little clue.

But even if Anthony's speculation comes true, all the doubts and the key to solving the problem are on the Grand Duchess and Miss, and there is still not much clue about how to start solving the current puzzle.

The sun had risen in the middle of the sky, and the thoughtful crowd hurriedly dealt with the lunch, and then scattered again to start their own busyness.

Princess Arlina and Caton go on a visit to the Grand Duke of Edwards. Although the other party deliberately avoided the princess and her party, there was not much chance of finding it, but it was still necessary to try it after all.

Lin Zhifeng, Xu Feng and the other four found extremely important information in the morning and made great contributions. At this time, I was in high spirits, and I was about to make persistent efforts to add points to myself with actual performance, and I also went out and scattered to continue looking for clues.

Even the two team leaders were stimulated by Lin Zhifeng and others, who had always looked down on them, and followed them onto the street, hoping to find some useful news.

As for Anthony, he slowly swallowed the last bite of his meal, picked up the best tea from the Duke's palace and tasted it for a while, and finally wiped his hands clean with a towel that still had residual warmth.

By the time he had done all this, he was the only one left in the hall.

Throwing down the towel in his hand, Anthony stood up and walked to his room.

He didn't go to the Grand Duke or Miss Duchess, nor did he wander the streets for clues. Instead, he returned to the room alone, crossed his legs, and practiced the cultivation technique of the other world: the Mixed Yuan Returning to One Gong.

The sun is setting in the west.

When the setting sun spread over the courtyard of the Grand Duke's house, the people returned to the hall again.

Princess Arlina, as expected, did not find the Grand Duke of Edwards.

And Lin Zhifeng and others failed to continue their good luck in the morning and returned empty-handed.

Although the two captains and their elite team members have a high level of martial arts cultivation, when it comes to finding out information from those civilians who are usually completely dismissive, the effect is not worth looking forward to.

Things don't go well, and everyone inevitably has a bit of frustration. Everyone sat around the hall, and they were not interested in speaking. For a while, the atmosphere seemed very depressing and dreary.

Arlina suddenly remembered something, raised her head, and looked around, "Hey, where's Anthony?" ”

……

In the luxurious and quiet room, Anthony, sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his closed eyes.

A faint glimmer of light was fleeting in his eyes.

After an afternoon of pranayama practice, Anthony only felt that he was in good shape at the moment. Even the bottleneck in the middle stage of refining and refining gas, which has been impacting for a long time, has loosened a lot. It seems that as long as you muster up the true yuan again and make the final blow, you can break through.

But Anthony pressed the stupidity full of ** in his heart, resolutely retracted his work, and stood up.

He knew exactly what he was doing. can also be extremely determined, eliminate all ** and interference, and let yourself always walk on the predetermined route.

Anthony didn't look for clues everywhere like everyone else, because he already had a plan in his heart.

If his guess of the truth comes true, then the next action requires him to maintain the fullest true element and the most peak state.

Even if Anthony no longer needs to fight alone, the twenty silver fighters that Yalina guards with him, plus the "Azure Sword Master" Caton, are enough to crush all the enemies who dare to stand in front of him, and his combat power is naturally much stronger than his alone.

But this time, they may not have the opportunity to show their strong fighting strength.

In the end, I'm afraid I have to do it all on my own.

Let's check the situation first.

Anthony smiled bitterly in his heart, and couldn't tell whether he wanted to guess more correctly or wrongly.

"Divine magic, please!"

After two months, Anthony once again activated this ultimate skill at the bottom of the box.

Listening. The psychic beasts lurking under the Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra can identify everything in the world by listening, and are especially good at listening to people's hearts.

Listen to the tiger's head, single horn, dog ears, dragon body, lion tail, unicorn feet, the appearance of a dragon is not a dragon, a tiger is not a tiger, a lion is not a lion, a unicorn is not a unicorn, a dog is not a dog.

Anthony wants to borrow the "listening technique" of the Diting Divine Beast beyond the imagination of ordinary people to solve the puzzle.

He stood still in the middle of the room, the true essence in his body flowing rapidly, in order to ask for the consumption of divine magic.

In the void behind him, the phantom of the divine beast Truth Hearing "Nine Differences" slowly emerged, and the ears on both sides seemed to gradually become longer and sharper under the shadow shroud, like two dog ears.

As the shape of his ears changed, Anthony only felt that his hearing was getting better and better. The sound of Princess Arlina talking in the hall outside, the footsteps of people walking outside the courtyard, and even the sound of mosquitoes and flies waving their wings in the street were all clearly heard.

The "listening skills" of Di Ting are really extraordinary!

Feeling the passage of Zhenyuan, Anthony did not dare to enjoy this extraordinary experience wantonly, and quickly turned his ears to the independent courtyard that he could not enter in the morning.

……

Princess Arlinna's nowhere to be found, Archduke Edwards, of course, doesn't really have any urgent needs to deal with.

At this moment, the Grand Duke was in a room in the Duke's mansion, his face full of anger and fear.

"Xia Hao is also a top powerhouse in the Golden Realm, how can he be so untrustworthy and break his promise!"

Not far from the Grand Duke, a graceful middle-aged woman and a young girl with a similar appearance to the Grand Duke sat upright. The faces of the two were gloomy and pitiful, and they only felt distressed when they saw the Grand Duke of Edwards.

These two women and maidens are the Duchess and Lady who have not shown their faces since Princess Arina entered the province of Aberdeen.

The Grand Duke was naturally not angry at his wife and daughter.

In the middle of the two seats, there was also a tall and thin old man sitting cross-legged. The Grand Duke of Edwards was shouting angrily at him just now.

The old man's expression was leisurely and complacent, and he did not move at all: "Grand Duke Edwards, please pay attention to your words and attitude. The current situation is that I am a sword, and you are all fish and meat. It will do you no good to provoke me. And this one next to you, if you dare to take a step forward secretly, I will cut off one of Madame's arms! ”

The black-clothed warrior standing beside the Grand Duke immediately stopped when he heard this, and glared at the old man fiercely.

Although the old man who suddenly appeared had the martial arts realm of a golden fighter, the black-clothed warrior was also not afraid. But the Duchess and the young lady fell into each other's hands, and under the trapping, the black-clothed warrior had a skill, but he couldn't use it at all.

The Grand Duke held back the anger in his heart and slowed down his tone: "The next one made it clear that as long as the Duke promised to delay the princess for one day, he would let my wife and daughter go free. Now that he has broken his promise and gained weight, what is the reason for this duke to send troops two days later? ”

The old man casually picked up a peanut on the table and threw it into his mouth, smashed it in his mouth and said, "Truth? The lives of your wife and daughter are in my hands, and what I say is the truth! ”

The Grand Duke was so angry that his face was flushed, but there was nothing he could do.

He can see it now. The old man threatened his wife and daughter to stop Aberdeen from sending troops and buy precious time for the Duke of Kocis in Taranto. It was only because I was worried that I might not agree to the ultimate goal directly, so I used the strategy of "boiling a frog in warm water" to gradually disintegrate my psychological defense.

Since it's already been a day, what's the matter if it's a day or two late? If you don't agree to the other party's request, the lady and the baby daughter will die.

I have to admit that the Grand Duke wavered. Even if he has already seen through the other party's plan.

On the one hand, it is a major military event, and on the other hand, it is a flesh and blood family. It is difficult to choose how to choose.

Although the state affairs are large, Aberdeen does not send troops, and there are other provinces and grand dukes who can send troops to quell the rebellion. If the life of the lady and daughter is not saved, who else will save it?

More than ten feet away, the old man sat at the end of the other end of the room, admiring the angry and tangled expression on the Grand Duke's face, and his heart was very happy.

He knew that the strength of the black-clothed warrior was definitely not below him, and he also knew that the power in the hands of the Grand Duke could easily kill him ten times and eight times. But the short distance of about ten zhang between the two sides is an insurmountable moat, and it has also become his own life-saving magic weapon.

It seems that to complete this task, it should be no problem. As long as the Grand Duke of Edwards cared about the lives of his wife and children, the longer it dragged on, the less likely he would be to do it. As long as it was another ten days and a half months, when Taranto had gained a firm foothold, he would leave the Duke's palace and leave Aberdeen with the two women hostage. At that time, as long as you get out of the opponent's base camp, with the strength of your own golden fighter, are you afraid that you won't be able to escape?

Just when the old man was smug and the Grand Duke of Edwards had nothing to do, Anthony's figure appeared in front of the door. As soon as he lifted his foot, he stepped into the room.
