Rodier is like a worm frozen in amber.

It wasn't until the boomerang bell in front of him landed at the same time, and the sound seemed to hit his heart, making him Huo Ran come back to life from his stiffness, and he felt as if his heart was beating at ten times the usual frequency!

The people next to him seemed to wake up from the scene they had just seen and let out a long breath.

"Rodiel!"

Prince Cyril and his wife, who were in the distance through the crowd, let out a scream in unison, and squeezed over in spite of the attendants' obstructions, and the princess had her hair scattered and pounced on Rodier to cover her son with her body, as if she was still guarding against those terrifying death scythes.

……

And in the circle formed by the honorees, Lin An snorted and covered his lips with his hands.

Leonardo, who was beside her, had already discovered her abnormality, and the others didn't know the source of the invisible power that blocked the boomerang just now, but Leonardo, who had had an experience, knew that what protected Rodier was the kind of power that Lin An used to protect the two of them in the darkness just now.

It's just that he didn't know that it was Lin An's embodied spiritual power, thinking that it was some kind of spell, but now it seems that the price of Lin An casting this kind of spell is also very large.

"Are you alright?"

Leonardo covered Lin An sideways, making it seem to others that the two were whispering.

Lin An didn't answer, closed his eyes and combed the shocking spiritual sea, but at this time, he felt a gaze look at her.

Lin An opened his eyes and saw that a man in white clothes and tired eyes appeared behind the pillar beside Prince Cyril and his wife, and before that, no one was aware of the existence of this abruptly dressed man.

"Patrick Juggernaut?" Leonardo followed Lin An's gaze, "By the way, when the prince's family leaves the imperial capital, he usually protects him in secret. ”

Patrick's Juggernaut appeared, and Leonardo's face looked a little relaxed.

Patrick's Juggernaut was separated by a crowd of people in the distance. Looking at Lin An.

Lin Anxin moved slightly.

Because she was prepared for a long time, in fact, her current injury was mainly to prevent her strength from being touched to the end, so she did it for Leonardo to see, although the long-distance realization of mental power made her mental power weaker, but even if the attack just now came two or three times, she could still catch it.

But when Patrick's Juggernaut finally appeared and asked with her eyes, her eyes swept over Charles, and her heart moved. Shook his head slightly.

Patrick's Juggernaut frowned, glanced at Rodiel's side, and retreated into the crowd. The sense of existence on his body slowly disappeared, and the nobles around him did not even notice his existence.

Lin An's eyes moved to Rodier's side, and the crowd around him was vacant in a large circle, except for the prince and his wife and his personal guards, the most eye-catching thing was the circle of boomerang on the ground. Prince Cyril, who had slightly gray hair, looked quite calm, but he also showed a hint of fear.

Patrick's Sword Master didn't make a move just now, I'm afraid it was because he was by the prince's side, but depending on the situation, His Royal Highness the prince wouldn't let Patrick leave their family's side, especially when he knew that the other party's target was the royal family.

Lin An's expression was indifferent:

If the group of Assassins out there were really mountain people lurkers. She didn't mind protecting the Prince's family so that Patrick Swordmaster could kill the assassins, but she now knew that Charles was manipulating the matter. She wasn't going to be in the limelight.

In particular, she had already seen the intention behind Charles's move from the assassins' attack on Rodier - it was aimed at Odin!

……

In the hall, people were still in a panic after the shock.

The sudden fire just now happened too quickly, although the ultimate target was Rodiel. But there is no doubt that with the power attached to those boomerangs. It's never hard to cut two or three people in half along the way.

If it weren't for Lin An's spiritual power to reveal the prototype of the boomerang in flight, and someone else's eyes were quick to pull it, I am afraid that several people would have been killed and injured under the terrifying death scythe.

The people who came back to their senses were afraid, among the ladies and ladies who were more nervous, several of them cried bitterly, and even one lady was directly incontinent, and a stench emanated from under her skirt.

But there were also people who saw the assassin's target, and a heroic young nobleman stood up in front of Charles, and his voice rumbled under the amplification technique:

"Everyone, be careful, protect Your Highnesses! Those assassins are targeting royalty! ”

But Lin An, who had been paying attention to Charles's movements, saw what Charles said in his ear before the heroic young man stood up.

Lin An's eyes flashed.

Everyone suddenly realized, just as they were surrounding several royal families, trying to block the assassination with their bodies to show their loyalty, the people in the hall suddenly heard a high-pitched scream-

"Ahhhh

A female voice that was so high-pitched that I couldn't hear the original sound quality sounded upstairs!

"Not good, Catherine! Victoria! ”

Charles's face changed drastically, and he suddenly exclaimed.

Not far from him, there were also young men with hair and eyes that looked a little similar to Charles's, their faces suddenly changed, and they looked at each other, "Oh no, Aurora! ”

As if to respond to their words, above the floor, another female voice completely different from the previous one also sounded at the same time:

"-Help!"

"Victoria!"

At this time, someone could already hear the owner's voice, Byron and Douglas exclaimed in unison, and Charles even pulled away the nobleman in front of him, and rushed upstairs despite the broken wound!

And behind him, Byron was only one step slower than Charles, pushing hard to break the people who were in the way, and ran wildly towards the stairs of the back door!

"Your Highness!"

The nobles around them exclaimed, and many people chased after them, and there was another commotion in the hall.

Prince Cyril's family and Elizabeth were much slower to react, and were stopped by the crowd around them.

Douglas, who was not far from the back door, saw that Byron had rushed in front of him, his eyes rolled, and he also pulled with the guards and nobles around him, looking like he was going to follow to save people, but at this time, the nobles who were following Charles and Byron had blocked the back door, and he seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, protected by many noble guards, safer than just now.

The honorees around Lin An have been in battle for a long time, and may not all be outstanding, but they are good at observing details on the chaotic battlefield.

When Charles burst through the back door. The sharp-eyed recipient saw several of the people rushing behind him, and several of his fellow honorees immediately shouted:

"It's Hemmer! They're up! ”

As soon as the words fell, several of the honorees broke away from the group and ran in the direction of the stairs of the back door, leaving behind the screams of their female companions.

"James, you stay!"

Lin An's eyes flashed, he threw down these words, and rushed up the stairs with the honoree.

When he reached the corner of the stairs, Lin An looked down and saw that Princess Elizabeth had chased her to the top of the stairs at some point. Prince Cyril's family was behind her, joining Douglas.

But Lin An's feet had just stood on the carpet on the second floor, in the two lounges on the left and right sides of the cloister. But there were two different cries of pain:

"-No! Catherine! ”

"- Aurora!"

Lin An suddenly heard that the previous cry of pain belonged to Charles, the source of the sound came from a lounge at the left end of the corridor, and the other sound came from the corridor on the right.

At this time. Charles appeared in the cloister, his snow-white royal robe stained with blood, and he held a bloody man tightly in his arms, regardless of the injury in his left arm.

And on the side of the man's head, facing the crowd coming up the stairs, a beautiful face as pale as paper was revealed.

Her eyelids were tightly closed. Her hands were still tightly guarding her abdomen, and blood gushed out of nowhere, staining a large part of her dress. The blood dripping from under the skirt followed the path that Charles walked out of, forming a dense line of blood!

"Oh no! Catherine! ”

Princess Elizabeth, who had just appeared on the second floor, let out a low cry as a mage beside her stepped out of the crowd and ran towards Charles.

Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them, even Lin An, who was about to run to the right. I couldn't help but look back, and my heart was shocked by Charles's ruthlessness. But suddenly I heard the sound of weapons clashing in the corridor on the right!

I only heard the sound of two broken windows, as if someone had crashed out of the stairs, and then there was a chaotic shout of rage.

"Miss Aurora!"

The pain contained in those people's voices gave people an extremely bad premonition.

But before those voices stopped, the young male voice who had called out Aurora with Charles in unison let out an even more painful cry:

"No—Dylan!"

Then came the exclamation that was suddenly realized by the chaotic voices before:

"Master Dylan - those damned assassins, I'm going to kill them!"

"Hurry up and save people!"

"Oh my God! That's a lot of blood! ”

When these voices sounded, a spark of joy burst out in the eyes of Charles who bowed his head, and a faint look of regret flashed in his eyes, and then quickly overshadowed by mourning and shock.

Although Lin An didn't look back, her focused perception took all the changes in Charles in her mind, and at the same time, she slowed down her pace and ran towards the corridor to the right, because she had realized the victim in the room on the right:

Odin and the eldest princess have two sons and a daughter, the second of which is named Dylan, the only only daughter, named Aurora, and the young male voice who called the names of the two in front of him, not surprisingly, should belong to Odin's eldest son Saxon.

At this point, the full outline of Charles's conspiracy to assassinate has roughly emerged in Lin An's mind.

For a moment, Lin An couldn't help but be shocked by Charles's accurate grasp of the timing and people's hearts, but her heart was as calm as water, like a lake that was enough to reflect the bottom.

Her gaze flashed coldly at the room to the right, but then the urge to help Charles was erased:

Even if Odin had one of his sons surviving, the two brothers would have died between them;

On top of that, Odin wasn't actually in the Royal Guard on his way to Rock Castle right now, and Charles didn't know that, so his next move was likely to fall short.

Leaving his eldest son, Saxon, was instead a check on Odin.

With his Odin's stubborn and paranoid character, if all the heirs were to die and he was allowed to be outside, Lin An couldn't imagine what he would do, and he would inevitably lose the initiative.

It's just this assassination, I don't know how the emperor will react, but it is conceivable that the situation is not favorable to Odin, but he also has the possibility of turning the tables, and Charles, who is planning behind the scenes, will not go well.

Lin An even had a faint feeling that if Odin learned the truth. When he counterattacked with his free hand, Charles might not be able to resist.

……

When I came to the noisy and chaotic lounge, I felt a smell of blood.

In the center of the crowd, two bodies were placed side by side in the middle of the clearing.

Among them, the young man who was about fourteen or fifteen years old had a blood line across his throat, and there was a blood stain on his chest, seeing that the blood stain on his chest was not particularly large, but his face above his neck was bruised, and a large purple spot appeared all over his body, which was obviously a symptom of suffocation, and he should have been cut by a boomerang. Blood flows into the trachea and suffocates to death.

This kind of injury is more fatal than cutting the major artery in the neck, the latter can rely on drugs to stop the bleeding, and the former in Lin An's previous life was in the category of tracheal surgery. It's also extremely tricky in this magical world, and most of the time you can only watch the wounded suffocate to death.

A faint pity flashed in Lin An's eyes, and when he saw the tall young man next to him with red eyes, surprise flashed in his eyes:

Seeing two siblings die at the same time, that feeling is probably unbearable for ordinary people. But although Saxon is sad, his clenched fists and tense chin are six points like Odin, and the cold and resolute tenacity radiating from the body of Angzang, which is close to adulthood, makes people feel that he is like a stubborn stone, and the silhouette almost makes Lin An think that it is Odin himself!

"Damn. Why did he survive! ”

Lin An knew where Charles's regret came from at this time, and I have to say that Odin's eldest son is very good and very similar to him. Although she does not hate the Saxons just because of her similar appearance and temperament, when she sees this person, she also dislikes it lightly.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from downstairs, and a cheer erupted.

The voice was full of joy and happiness. Passing to this second-floor lounge, which is full of sorrow, immediately makes many people raise their heads. The Saxons are like enraged young lions, their bloodshot eyes filled with anger awakened from their sorrows.

At this time, Prince Cyril came from the side of the stairs, and when Lin An saw it, he immediately got out of the way.

When Prince Cyril saw that it was Lin An, he nodded at her, although there was no smile on his face, there was a trace of deep gratitude in his eyes, probably because Patrick Sword Saint said that Lin An saved Rodiel.

"No one can be found in the woods, and those assassins seem to have retreated for some reason!"

Cyril said to the room.

"Escaped?"

Saxon was shocked, and the green tendons on the back of his clenched fist burst out, and he suddenly stood up violently and rushed to the window like a madman:

"No, no! - You cowards, cowards! Give me back, it's kind of kill me! Kill me! ”

"No, no! Be careful! Your Highness! ”

The nobles on his left and right hugged the roaring Saxon tightly and dragged him away from the window desperately, so it was far from safe at this time, and it could not be ruled out that the lurkers were still hiding in the shadows and did not all retreat, and the scythe-like boomerang of death would come from that corner.

Until reinforcements arrived, the window terrace was absolutely unsafe, especially for the Saxons, who were clearly the key targets of the lurkers.

The Saxons were still struggling and roaring angrily, and Prince Cyril stepped forward and slapped his hand:

"Bastard! Shut up! Do you want to your father off? Think of your mother, she's still pregnant! ”

When the crazy Saxon heard this, he immediately quieted down like a basin of cold water, and let everyone hold him with their hands and feet and drag him down.

At this moment, Love, with his arms wrapped around the bandaged deck, appeared in the doorway, his face heavy with sadness, and his face shocked when he first saw what was in the room.

Lin An noticed that the pupils of his eyes shrank to the size of pintips, and after being shocked, a trace of realization flashed through him.

But the rest of the room didn't notice the details of Love's expression, and only took the shock on his face as a shock when he saw the identities of the two deceased.

Prince Cyril recognized the guard who was desperate to help his master stop the boomerang, and asked in a deep voice:

"You're the captain of Charles' guard, aren't you? How's Catherine's side? ”

When the Prince came, Catherine was still being treated.

Love straightened his legs, bowed his head and said bitterly: "The princess lost too much blood and died." ”

Everyone in the room whispered again, and the Saxon, who had his back to the door, was also shocked, and the faint hostility on his body subsided.

Lin Anxin knew it, although he had already guessed Catherine's fate, but seeing the effect of her death with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart for Charles:

This man is so ruthless!

Prince Cyril sighed and turned his head to look at Lin An, only to see her gaze lingering on the bodies of the two dead people on the ground.

"Master Lynn. What's wrong? ”

"No, it's nothing," Lin An retracted his gaze and said lightly, "Everyone's condolences." ”

She turned, her eyes flashing with doubt:

Because of Love's shock, she thought that there were still traces of clues left in the room, and let go of her mental power perception to look for it, only to find that the remnants of the spell on the forehead of Odin's young girl seemed to be "corpse repair" - which meant that the little girl had a wound on her head. And stay until after death.

And the little girl's body was not quite right, although the corpse had the same residual warmth as the dead boy next to her, and the joints of her body were still soft. But Lin An faintly felt that there was no trace of soul breath left on the little girl's corpse, which was different from the little brother who died almost before and after her-

Body temperature and limb softness can be faked with spells, but there is no remnant of soul breath. It can only mean that the little girl has already died.

Of course, Lin An's intuition was very sudden, she had never had it before, even Sidney had to use the necromantic spell to "perceive the soul" to test the soul remnants, and Lin An couldn't be sure if his inexplicable intuition was reliable-

But. If you add to this the remnants of the spell of the previously discovered "Corpse Repair Technique", it already speaks for itself!

Saxon and others saw her death with their own eyes, but in Lin An's eyes. The little girl didn't just die - so who went to great lengths to hide the truth?

The answer is already on the horizon, but a new question arises:

Since he had already targeted Odin's children, why did Charles take the trouble to kill the little girl in advance?

A little girl who is only eleven or twelve years old is far less important than Odin's two sons, even if Charles wants to ensure that his goal is achieved. The target should also be Saxon!

"Saxon rushed up with Charles to find his sister, and it seemed that the little girl had been staying upstairs. Didn't make it to the ball—there wasn't much a child could do, couldn't have done much, could it be that she had accidentally broken some secret, or overheard something she shouldn't have heard? ”

Lin An's eyes swept across the room, and then at Love, who was so preoccupied that he didn't pay attention to Lin An.

"If she was killed because she broke something, then this lounge dedicated to her would not be the first scene."

When Lin An thought of this, Love's voice sounded in front of him, "Your Royal Highness Princess!" ”

As soon as Lin An looked up, he saw Victoria and Elizabeth supporting each other.

The two men were pale, their eyes were red, and they both held a silk silk in their hands, and they were followed by Ludwig and several nobles, including Elizabeth's male companion.

Lin An nodded to them, and Victoria seemed to be indulging in pain, and she didn't even bother to look at Lin An, her eyes were in a trance.

Lin Anxin was suspicious, looked at Victoria twice, and found that she seemed to be very sensitive to her gaze, and raised her head in a little panic, and at this moment, Princess Elizabeth's voice sounded on the side:

"Master Linn, Archduke Rinster doesn't seem to be there? I never saw him. ”

"He has something to do, he has already left first, leaving me to help him apologize like His Royal Highness Charles, but I didn't expect to encounter this assassination."

"As Charles's sister, I am very sorry for the shock you have suffered at Plantagenet Manor." Elizabeth said.

"Princess, please don't take it personally!" Lin An said politely, "I empathize with the innocent bloodline of the noble Three Lions bloodline, and I am very sorry. ”

Lin settled for a moment, and glanced to the side, "...... May hatred be appeased with the blood of the enemy, so that the dead can rest in peace, and may the living come out of their grief as soon as possible. ”

When Princess Elizabeth heard this, the sadness on her face receded slightly, her eyes showed resoluteness, and the corners of her straight mouth became a little cold at this time, and she said seriously:

"Thank you! Your prayer is exactly what I expected! ”

The nobles surrounding the two princesses next to them also clenched their fists and said loudly: "...... Vow to wash away hatred with the blood of the enemy! ”

Princess Victoria was shocked, and was cleverly shaken, and was held by Ludwig.

Lin An saw it in his eyes and had already got the answer.

She nodded slightly, glanced at Ludwig again, hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing, passing by them.

With his back to them, Lin An drifted away.

In her mind, the words that Edwina had said in her ear tonight, deliberately used to provoke her, but made her doubtful:

“…… Since before her marriage, the woman had a private relationship with a baron fifteen years older than her......"

“…… In the past half month, Princess Victoria has stayed in the Three Princes' Mansion every two or three days......"

Perhaps there are many things that they are destined to reap the "fruit" when they plant the "cause" - but those who are innocently implicated do not deserve the fate of irony.

Lin An turned his head and looked at Ludwig's back.

The other party seemed to be aware of it, and when he turned around, the dark purple figure was missing from the corridor.

On the side of the corridor, in an empty lounge, Lin An leaned against the closed door and gently stroked the collar pin on his collar.

The collar pin lit up, Lin An closed his eyes and said softly:

“…… Lancet, arrange for the men to keep the carriage that had taken Heidi in check, and not let them be found by Charles's men. ”
