Time goes back two magic hours.

Since the day Grand Duke Ryan was captured and Grand Duke Oginets was injured and dying, the city of the Ridge has been closed for five consecutive days, and 20,000 city guards have been mobilized to hunt down the fugitive assassins who are still hiding in the city.

In the process of hunting down Grand Duke Ryan and Peret Swordsmen on the day of the assassination, the movement and scope of the search involved the tunnel network in the heart of the mountain and the civilian areas outside the Ridge City, coupled with the closure of the royal palace and the Grand Duke's Palace of Oginnets, and the subsequent closure of the entire city for several days to search for fish that slipped through the net, there have been some rumors circulating among the civilian class of Ridge City.

“…… Surprisingly, the Highlanders were known for their fierceness, but in the city-wide raids and house-to-house searches by the City Guards, there were few cases of resistance and clashes between civilians and the City Guards. ”

In the cellar of a dwelling in the outer city of the Ridge City, several suppressed voices exchanged news obtained in recent days under the cover of the smell of bacon and dried vegetables.

“…… If there is a family that has served as a patron for his people for more than a thousand years, maintaining the heritage and peace of the nation, and not allowing his people to grovel to another power, then you will be as concerned about the safety of Oginnets's golden blood as these highlanders. ”

A low, slightly hoarse male voice.

Oginets' golden bloodline lasts for thousands of years, and it has a high status and centripetal force in the hearts of the Highlanders, and this bottom-up influence on the cohesion of the ruling class has made the Highlanders particularly united and supportive of the rule of the Oginnets family, plus from the first Grand Duke, the Ryan nobles led by Oginets have supported the pressure of the Pere royal family. In the minds of the highlanders, this is undoubtedly no different from a hero, and the highlanders with a strong and unyielding temperament worship heroes the most.

"It's just that in this way, the whole city is blocked, and we can't arrange a way out, and it's much more dangerous for Your Majesty to go here!"

Another voice voiced concern, turning to hatred. "Grand Duke Ryan and Perre, those fools, have such a good natural channel to hide troops in the tunnels in the heart of the mountain, but they didn't even kill the Grand Duke of Oginets, and the Grand Duke of Ryan even failed to escape, only a few scattered court swordsmen ran out, and they also let Oginets know the shortcut to the tunnel in the hinterland of the mountain, so that our originally planned retreat was also blocked - Perret from top to bottom. No one can make it happen, and they are really a bunch of pigs! ”

"This is not necessarily to blame the Perets, not to mention the incompetence of Grand Duke Ryan, and Oginets's luck as if favored by the goddess of luck is not an exaggeration, otherwise the highlanders would not have praised Oginets as golden blood, and worshipped them as protectors!"

The first voice said. Then he said mysteriously, "But the luck that is rumored to be inherited by the golden bloodline is actually a witch's curse." According to the rumors deliberately spread by Grand Duke Ryan, Oginnets's ancestors exchanged all their descendants except for the heirs for this cursed bloodline that passed on their luck, so the luck of the golden bloodline was actually exchanged for the lives of their descendants. ”

"The Curse of the Fate of the Elder Witch? I don't know which one will be the final victor compared to my law of fate. ”

It was still the low, slightly hoarse voice, and the deep voice contained indescribable confidence and courage. "In any case, since you have heard that the brown bear at the helm of Oginets has been seriously injured, then now is undoubtedly the best time to assassinate him, as long as a huge rift is torn between Oginets and the royal family of Pere, even if Ryan cannot be brought over, the heavy cavalry of the Highlanders will never be used by Pere again!"

……

When the screaming alarm from the vestibule sounded, Lin An was in the bedroom of Grand Duke Oginets.

The Grand Duke has turned white. At this time, it seemed that he was just the most ordinary old man, and under Lin An's instructions, he drank the "Atamigli Soul Source" according to the dosage, and it was rare to stretch his brows, which had been wrinkled, and fell into a deep sleep.

Lin An motioned for the others to exit the bedroom, while he stayed in the bedroom and waited for a while. Check to see if the potion works properly.

Lin An was startled when he found the assassin's scream warning, and at the same time, the door opened, and a group of guards immediately poured into the corridor outside the living room, surrounding the bedroom, and the dark part of the bedroom also moved slightly.

Lin An walked to the window and looked down, in the courtyard, the guards were divided into two halves under the captain's shout, half of them stood still, waiting to continue to defend the main building, and the other half rushed towards the corridor passage between the vestibule and the atrium where the alarm signal was issued, so as to block the path for the assassins to enter, appearing well-trained and orderly.

"Where's little Alex?" Lin An asked about Gustav's son, who was named Alexander's little guy by Gustav only two days ago.

"The little master has been transferred to the secret passage." Qi Li'er's voice sounded a little hurriedly, she opened the door and walked in, and saw that the Grand Duke was calm as usual, and her face was slightly relieved.

Not long after, the footsteps of the footsteps sounded, and before the owner of the footsteps appeared, Lin An already knew the identity of the person who came.

"It's okay, it's a slave girl who saw the wrong person, His Highness asked me to sue sù, don't be nervous!" Anatoly smiled at Lin An and the two of them, and at the same time made a look, and the guards who gathered in were signaled, and immediately saluted and withdrew.

Qi Li'er's expression suddenly slowed down, "In the past few days, everyone's nerves have been a little tense. "The same thing happened once two days ago, but that time it was farther away, and it wasn't as loud as the slave girl screamed this time.

Anatoly gave Qi Li'er a secret look, Qi Li'er was strange, but she knew that Anatoly was also inconvenient to say in front of Lin An, and after chatting with Lin An with an unchanged expression, she found an excuse to leave temporarily.

Going out to the cloister, Kiriel found Anatoly waiting around the corner.

"What's wrong?"

"It was Mrs. Emma's personal maid who screamed just now, Mrs. Emma's relationship has been unstable in the past two days, which has made the maids around her more nervous, you should pay more attention to appease."

"Lady Emma again!" Qilier paused and sighed, "Okay. I see, I'll be careful, and I'll never let her have a chance to meet with Master Lin! ”

Speaking of this embarrassing and unignorable lady, Anatoly was also quite helpless.

Female slaves who climbed into the male master's bed and gave birth to a boy in an ordinary aristocratic family would not receive much preferential treatment because of this change in status, but Oginets passed down through the generations, and the preciousness of the sole heir made the heir's fertility inevitably rise.

Although both the Grand Duke and Gustav had mediocre feelings for Lady Emma. But because the Grand Duke did not marry the Duchess, Madame Emma still had a place in Gustav's mind.

Lin An didn't know that Qilier and Anatoly had a conversation because of her, she stood on the edge of the terrace of the Grand Duke's bedroom and looked down, the guards who had been strict and orderly before were slowly recovering the order of the previous patrol, and the previous alarm had been lifted.

"Something is wrong." Lin An frowned, a little uneasy in his heart.

Drew a circle. Taking out six bellflowers, Lin An's gaze swept over the figure made of bellflower branches, and condensed slightly.

……

Click.

The brass doorknob turned, clanging, and the door between the cloister and the living room was opened a slit, allowing a trace of flowing air to seep in.

Kick, kick, kick......

The sound of footsteps on the hard hardwood floor is not hurried or slow, along the straight line between the doorway of the living room and the bedroom. Closer to the bedroom.

Lin An stood on the terrace, the white floor-to-ceiling window screen was gently blown by the wind, his ears did not hear the guard outside the door to stop him, and he did not feel a trace of murderous aura in his perception, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake in divination.

Click.

The bedroom door opened, and a tall figure stood in front of it, a black shadow reflected in the soft carpet along with the light from the living room.

The person who came was dressed in the armor of the guards of the Oginets mansion, and his eyes fell on the empty bed of the bedroom for the first time. Then it shot straight to the terrace facing the door of the bedroom, and Lin An's figure was unabashedly exposed from the flying white curtain.

"What about the Grand Duke?" The caller's voice hoarsely asked the only person in the room, without a hint of murder.

"He's been transferred." The other party did not hide his appearance and voice, and when Lin An recognized this person, his voice was slightly tight.

"He should have been here half an hour ago, and you transferred him?"

"What happened before, you really caused it? What about the guards outside. How did you get here? ”

This person should have a terrifying secret technique of concealment and breathing, which is beyond Lin An's perception, otherwise even if there is a physical barrier such as a wall, the movement within ten zhang of the entire main building. She definitely couldn't hide it from Lin An, and before the other party came to the door of the living room, she didn't notice the other party's traces.

But the other party obviously walked in directly, although he was wearing the guard armor, he was an obvious face, even if he could hide her perception, the guards outside would not be without eyes, but Lin An's keen hearing did not hear a trace of fighting, and there was no trace of blood on the other party.

Lin An's non-answering rhetorical question surprised the other party a little.

"You...... Know me? ”

After taking a serious look at Lin An, he confirmed that this was a strange girl, the visitor squinted slightly, and the depths of his pupils were covered with a layer of silver ash, as if an invisible net was generated in his eyes.

Lin An suddenly felt a trembling feeling of being targeted by the monster, and his mental power suddenly reflexively resisted this sense of peeping, and Lin An in the other party's eyes suddenly blurred for a while, and lost his lock on Lin An.

"Such a strong mental power...... Lady Purple Rose, it turned out to be you. "Although he didn't see through the illusion, the person who came had already confirmed Lin An's identity.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Your Majesty Patrick, it looks like you've been promoted, congratulations!"

Patrick, who was still a Silver Sword Saint and had already killed the Golden Sword Saint and was respected as the "Great Sword Saint", put a lot of pressure on Lin An, making her confirm that her behavior of staying in place in order to confirm the success rate of divination was really very risky.

Based on Patrick's identity and current behavior, Lin An quickly deduced his motive for appearing here, with a soft smile on his face, as if he had seen an old friend who had been absent for a long time, and said without hesitation:

“…… I hope you don't have the idea of pointing the tip of your gun at me, or I'll have to call your name. ”

Regarding the issue of the heroine's private life, with a comment from Xiao Li Lerong children's shoes, the heroine's heart has long been so strong that she doesn't need men's recognition, and Zhang Ga's reply to the children's shoes shows that the real mage world can't be seen from a secular point of view.

Of course, green vegetables and radishes have their own love, everyone has objections and arguments, and if I put forward comments on this, I have replied and explained as much as possible in the book review area, if it is really unacceptable, I ask myself that my pen power is limited and cannot be satisfied, and I do not force it.

ps：

Readers who normally put forward comments, I will reply seriously, but if it is like the "femme fatale" reader in the book review area, who does not respect the author's achievements and reads daoban, and somehow comes to the genuine book review area to bark and scold the author, I can only give you one sentence:

Hehe-roll, coarse!

For some historical reasons, I am particularly impatient with such deeds.

Up to now, I consider myself conscientious and have a clear conscience, but I'm sorry that I don't have the tolerance of other authors, and if the same thing happens in my book review area again, I don't care if the reader who inexplicably explodes foul words like this "femme fatale" has the intention to stir up trouble or vent his feelings, I can only ask the editor to ban it - hereby declared.

ps: The paragraph at the end of the text does not exceed the number of words, there will be no additional charge, and I apologize to other readers, because I must make a formal statement, and I hope it will not affect everyone.
