Leo's shouting kept coming from the room: "Morata, you kid is too long, tap, give me a tap!" Ouch, it hurts me. ”

Morata stood in front of the bed with the ointment in his hand, with a helpless expression: "My lord, this application of wound medicine will inevitably touch the wound, you just bear with it." ”

"Bear with your size! Why don't you try it? Leo said angrily, just as Morata applied the wound medicine again, and Leo snorted a few times in pain.

Although the assassination attempt by the Man in Black ended in failure, Leo made a lot of fun in this attack. For example, the tear on the left palm, the broken skin on the elbow, and the abrasions and falls all over the body.

There was no doubt that these were minor injuries, but in terms of numbers, this was the battle with the most wounds from Leo.

And it's also the most whimsical battle. You must know that although Leo has experienced several battles in the past have been thrilling, many times on the verge of death, but in the end, without exception, he counterattacked and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop. It is simply unimaginable to be injured by someone like today, but in the end it still makes the man in black run away.

The more Leo thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but curse in his mouth: "Bastard thing! Dare to openly kill people in the city of Ridmar, is there still a royal law? If I catch this kid another day, I will definitely burn him at the stake and roast him for three days and two nights! ”

"Your Excellency." Morata reminded: "Generally speaking, it takes a maximum of thirty minutes to completely burn a person to ashes. ”

"Shut up!" Leo rolled his eyes, clearly unhappy with Morata's untimely remarks.

At this moment, a heavy footstep came from the corridor, and soon the third adjudicator appeared in the room: "Chief Adjudicator, are you looking for me?" ”

"That's right." Leo sat up from the bed and reached out to the chair in front of him, "Sit down." ”

"No need." Adjudicator No. 3 shook his head and said angrily, "These chairs can't bear my weight, so if you have something to say, sir." ”

Leo couldn't help but sweat a little when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at the mountain-like figure of the third adjudicator, and sure enough, he found that with the size of the adjudicator and the weight of the armor on his body, it was indeed difficult for ordinary wooden chairs to bear.

This little episode was quickly ignored by Leo, who opened his mouth to the third adjudicator and asked, "You are an experienced adjudicator and have fought the killer head-on, do you have any thoughts on the origin of the killer?" ”

Adjudicator No. 3 was silent for a moment, seemingly hesitant.

After a long moment, his voice came from behind the silver heavy helmet: "I do have some guesses about the origin of this killer, but I am not sure. ”

"Oh?" Leo suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Let's hear it." ”

Adjudicator No. 3 said, "Judging by this killer's moves and fighting spirit, it is very likely that he has something to do with the Blood Shadow Guard. ”

"Blood Shadow Guard?" Leo was startled, and his voice involuntarily became a little louder: "Are you sure?" ”

Like the Inquisition, the Blood Shadow Guard is also a well-known secret organization on the mainland, which is controlled by the Sbanney royal family and acts in a domineering and cruel manner.

Leo had learned about the organization from the Inquisition's sources. Although the reputation of the Blood Shadow Guard is not as loud as that of the Inquisition, since Charles XVI ascended the throne, he chose to invest a huge amount of resources in the Blood Shadow Guard in order to fight the Inquisition, so that the organization has grown rapidly over the years.

Judging from the information gathered by the Inquisition in recent years, it is likely that the power of this organization is no longer under the Inquisition.

What's more, Leo learns from the intel that apart from His Majesty the current Emperor, even the two extremely favored princes, Emmanuel and Julian, are unable to mobilize any of the Blood Shadow Guard.

If this is indeed the case, then today, the Blood Shadow Guard suddenly appeared and assassinated himself, doesn't it mean that His Majesty the Emperor no longer wants to let himself live?

The more Leo thought about it, the more frightened he became, this was from His Majesty the Emperor's killing intent! Leo began to seriously consider whether to immediately escape back to the Holy See with the scroll that Bishop Gavin had given him.

Adjudicator No. 3 obviously saw Leo's worries, so he spoke: "Don't worry, my lord, I haven't finished talking yet, although this killer is very likely to have something to do with the Blood Shadow Guard, he should not be an official Blood Shadow Guard. ”

Leo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "What does this mean?" ”

Adjudicator No. 3 paused, as if considering his words, "It seems to me that this killer is most likely not an official member of the Blood Shadow Guard, as he didn't use the Blood Shadow Guard's secret method in his fight with me. ”

"Secret method?" Leo asked, "What secret method?" ”

Adjudicator No. 3 explained: "The three words of the Blood Shadow Guard, the third word 'Wei' represents the meaning of guarding and defending; The second word, 'shadow', describes these people as being as ubiquitous as shadows, while the first word, 'blood', describes the source of their power. ”

"What do you mean—" Leo looked at Adjudicator No. 3 with a blazing gaze, "The Blood Shadow Guard relies on blood for power?" Isn't this a vampire? How could the Empire admit such heretics? ”

If heresies are the most worthy of the name, then vampires are definitely one of them.

"I guess your understanding is a little wrong, sir." Adjudicator No. 3 said, "The Blood Shadow Guard does rely on some secret method related to the power of blood to gain power, but it doesn't need to suck human blood for a living, so it has nothing to do with vampires. ”

"I see." Leo nodded and said, "That killer didn't use the secret method just now, so you don't think he's a real Blood Shadow Guard, right?" ”

Adjudicator No. 3 nodded similarly and said, "That's right, my lord. But it's also possible that the killer wanted to hide his identity, so he didn't use the secret method. ”

Leo thought for a moment, then said, "If he's not a true Blood Shadow Guard, then what do you think his identity should be?" ”

Adjudicator No. 3 had apparently had a guess in his mind, and immediately replied, "A reserve member of the Blood Shadow Guard, or a killer trained by a full member of the Blood Shadow Guard. ”

Leo fell into deep thought.

After seeing the fighting power of the third adjudicator today, Leo did not doubt whether the adjudicator's statement was correct, but considered which one he said was the real situation.

Is this man in black, who suddenly attacked and wanted to take Leo's life, an official member of the Blood Shadow Guard?

If so, there is no doubt that this assassination was made by the will of His Majesty the Emperor, and then Leo had better use Bishop Gavin's scroll to teleport directly back to the Holy See now, otherwise it is likely that what awaits will be killed.

If not, then the assassination was most likely at the behest of Leo's enemies (e.g., Emmanuel), in which case Leo would only have to be careful, at least with the protection of Adjudicator No. 3. In this way, the mission of this mission can be successfully completed, so that the Pope can not find any fault.

After a long time, Leo still didn't get an answer. It was at this moment that he suddenly found an invitation on the table.

"What is this?" Leo reached out and picked up the invitation. To Leo's surprise, the red invitation was even more elaborate than the one sent by the Minor Duke Cleverley.

Morata replied, "I heard from Lord Flender that the palace sent someone from the palace when you went out to the banquet, saying that you were invited to participate in tomorrow's hunting meeting. ”

Flender is the name of the head of the House of Grace.

"Hunting convention?" Leo's eyes lit up, and he carefully flipped through the invitation, and the content on it was exactly what Morata said.

A smile slowly rose to Leo's lips.

"Sleep!" Leo slammed his body onto the bed, "I'm going hunting tomorrow!" ”

Morata touched his head in some confusion, glanced at the invitation that was thrown on the table, and secretly wondered in his heart. Why did Leo-sama, who had been hesitant before, make a decision as soon as he saw this invitation?
