Chapter 326: All the way up
"There are assassins!" Jonathan let out a cry of surprise, and almost instinctively drew his weapon with his right hand, charging in the direction where Edgar had fallen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, he had only just taken two steps before he stopped in an extremely stiff posture with his body very abruptly straight, because the two long swords pointed at his throat and heart respectively, and as long as Jonathan took one more step forward, it would be equivalent to giving away his life for no reason.
At the same time, two extremely powerful figures suddenly appeared next to Edgar's corpse out of thin air, and with the eyes of Jonathan's seventh-level high-level samurai, he didn't even see how these guys appeared out of thin air.
"Sacred Realm Powerhouse!" Jonathan was shocked.
Five minutes later, Jonathan, who was tied up by the Five Flowers, was personally escorted by two Sanctuary powerhouses to a certain room on the eighth floor of the King's Palace.
The two giants of the Empire, the Duke of Leanne, the Minister of War, and the Marquis of Habs, the Minister of Justice, as well as almost all the important leaders of the Blood Shadow Guard, were already waiting for his arrival there.
"Two adults, I was really wronged!" As soon as Jonathan, who wanted to cry without tears, sat down and immediately shouted to the two giants in front of him, "I really didn't know that guy would suddenly assassinate Edgar!" β
Duke Lean looked at Jonathan, who was full of panic in front of him, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly on his majestic face.
Although it was only a few minutes, all of Jonathan's information had been read by Lord Duke a minute ago. Orphans, training, murder, and promotions are enough words to sum up Jonathan's life so far.
In every way, this guy is just an ordinary Blood Shadow Guard. Judging from the background checks within the Blood Shadow Guard and the loyalty tests over the years, the chances of Jonathan betraying the Empire and collaborating with others to assassinate an important Imperial minister like Edgar are almost zero.
Duke Li'an's tone was unexpectedly gentle: "Who is that guy in your mouth?" β
Jonathan was stunned for a moment and replied, "I don't know, I only know that he is from the third place." β
Before Duke Li'an could ask a question, the leader of the Blood Shadow Guard II on the side spoke: "This time, the Blood Shadow Guard Headquarters has not recalled any members of the Third Division from the Itari Kingdom. β
Jonathan was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously replied: "My partner Kevin can testify for me-"
"Kevin is dead." It was Jonathan's immediate boss, the head of the Seventh Division of the Blood Shadow Guard. "Died somewhere on the fifth floor where you were standing, the murderer must be the same Assassin who killed the Edgards."
"It can't be!" Jonathan couldn't help but scream, "Butβ"
"No, but." Duke Leanne interrupted Jonathan, "Do you remember any of that man's characteristics?" Looks, height, accent? β
"Yes, sir." The instincts of the underground staff made Jonathan respond almost immediately: "Medium-sized, slightly thin, masked, with an accent of pure lingua franca." β
"He's not lying." The Marquis of Habs, who had been observing coldly, made a judgment.
As the Minister of Justice of the Empire, this Marquis has tried many cunning criminals, and if it were not for the fact that His Majesty the Emperor asked the Duke of Leanne to take full responsibility, the presiding judge at this moment would have been the Marquis of Habs.
Therefore, the Duke of Lean naturally had no reason to question the judgment of the Marquis of Habs, nodded when he heard this, and ordered: "Take him down and keep him under strict care." β
Soon, almost all the Blood Shadow Guards and Imperial Masters were mobilized, and a major search began in the Palace of Kings.
Although the search had been carried out in secrecy due to the celebration, and most of the guests in the palace were not even aware of the news of Edgar's death, if you looked closely, the situation in the entire palace suddenly became much more tense.
"Children of Darknessβ"
"Don't call me that, it's not good for people to hear, just call me an adult." The Son of Darkness walked calmly in the aisle on the sixth floor of the King's Palace, his steps were very steady.
"Yes, sir." The vampire demon king Raggood walked behind the Dark Child step by step, obviously feeling a little unsure: "I can sense that there are two Sanctuary powerhouses in this level leading a team to investigate, should we-"
"Don't panic." The expression on the face of the Dark Child did not fluctuate, and his tone was as calm as a thousand-year-old rock.
At this moment, several Blood Shadow Guards suddenly blocked the way of the two, and said politely but very vigilantly: "This son, please don't be casual-"
Ragud was slightly startled in his heart, and subconsciously lowered his head, the vampire demon king could clearly sense that the leaders of the Blood Shadow Guard in front of him were one of the two sanctuaries located on this level at this moment.
Of course, this ordinary Sanctuary alone is not taken seriously by the Vampire Demon King, but don't forget that there are more than double-digit Sanctuary powerhouses in the King's Hall at this moment, and there are too many heroes to stand up.
Before he could finish speaking, the Son of Darkness threw a token into the hand of the Sanctuary at the front: "I have top-secret information to report to Your Majesty, get out of the way." β
After seeing the pattern on the token, the Sanctuary suddenly changed his expression, and respectfully returned the token, and then stepped aside.
"See." The Son of Darkness, who had already stepped on the seventh staircase leading to the King's Palace, calmly taught the vampire demon king behind him: "Don't think about fighting and killing with strength all day long, you have to use your brain, understand?" β
"Yes, sir." Raggood nodded convincingly. The two of them have actually gone through many cross-examinations along the way, but the son of darkness in front of them seems to have a strong background in this world, and he has passed this test without danger all the way, and has successfully come to the eighth layer of the palace of kings.
Since the collapse of the Cyteca Empire and the Black Sect, this is the closest the Dark Demon God's subordinates have come to the Emperor in three hundred years, can countless failures really be exchanged for this success, and he and the Son of Darkness in front of him can really successfully take the life of Charles XVI?
Thinking of this, even as a vampire known for his cold-bloodedness, Ragwell still couldn't suppress his excitement.
However, to Lagud's surprise, the Dark Child in front of him did not choose to continue to the higher levels, but instead led himself to a heavily guarded room on the seventh floor, and threw the token into the hands of the Blood Shadow Guard at the door: "I will take the prisoners inside." β
Moments later, Raghoud swaggered out of the room with Jonathan on his shoulders.
Ten minutes later, the Children of Darkness appeared on the eighth floor of the Temple of Kings with his vampire demon king's subordinates, but Jonathan, who had just been taken away by them, had disappeared without a trace.
"See that room?" The Dark Child gestured to a room not far in front of him, "Wait a minute, you're tasked with helping me get out of the guy named Leo who was locked inside." β
