Chapter 603: Signals and Seals

"Get out of the way!"

As soon as they saw Joanna's situation at this time, the guards immediately turned their heads and looked away. Charles got off his horse, scolded coldly, untied his cloak, and leaned over to put it on Joanna.

"Ahhh …… Don't kill me! …… I don't care about you! I don't care about you!!! ……”

As soon as Charles approached, Joanna, who was curled up in a ball and muttering to herself, suddenly screamed bitterly, screaming and struggling despite the falling of the covering, and kept hiding backwards, clutching the legs of the first guard to take out her cloak, as if she recognized the latter.

"Princess! Princess! ……”

The guard was so confused that he wanted to poke his eyes and cut off his legs, and asked Charles for instructions in a panic.

"Get the princess out."

Charles could see that Joanna was obviously delirious and didn't care about her reaction, and glanced around the bloody Shura field with an ugly face, and handed the cloak to the guards.

The guards hurriedly wrapped Joanna up and carried her out of the killing scene, all the while Joanna had been holding him like a life-saving straw, trembling and muttering incoherently.

"Your Highness, there is no trace of the murderer nearby." The captain of the guard came to report.

"The wounds were all caused by the same weapon, a long sword with a blade three fingers wide, suspected to be a standard weapon of the army, very common, and the murder weapon was not left at the scene. In addition, the fluctuations of the spells left on the scene were messy and could not be traced. ”

The two mages who were dressed as guards and who had been walking around the corpse to inspect the scene when they arrived at the scene also stood up and reported back to Charles.

The so-called is very common, of course, it does not mean that the army's standard weapons are leaked out to the common people, and they are all over the streets, but for the nobles who are in the palace at this time, it is easy to get them, and it is impossible to find out the source according to this.

Charles frowned even deeper and nodded, though disappointed. But the two reports did not surprise him:

To be able to commit such an unconcealable murder at such a time and in such a place, if it was not an impulsive impromptu idea, it was a long-planned plan, and now it seems that it is indeed the latter.

Charles was not afraid of the conspiracy, but the scene was so close to him and so coincidental. It's hard not to suspect that this is a conspiracy against him.

When he saw Princess Joanna's situation, he was even ready for her to pounce on him and call him a murderer. But at present, it seems that there is no such clue, and his subordinates have not noticed any clues against him.

But that didn't reassure Charles.

On the contrary, the delay in finding the murderer's intentions made Charles feel a sense of confusion, and the feeling of uneasiness gradually arose in his heart.

"Your Highness, Princess Joanna is overstimulated and mentally disordered, and her subordinates can't communicate with her with spells." Another mage subordinate came to report.

"Can't you even recover temporarily?" Charles asked. In front of him, the guards were already cordoning off the scene.

"Her spirit is too fragile at this time, if she forcibly casts a spell. There is no guarantee of a success rate, and there is a possibility that she will be completely insane and unable to recover," the mage's subordinate wiped the sweat from his forehead and bowed his head to confess, "The subordinate is incompetent!" ”

"Stand down!"

Charles gave the mage a cold look. Strode over to Joanna and the guard, and looked at Joanna with disheveled hair and unfocused eyes in the guard's arms, and her face became more and more gloomy:

He knew that the only breakthrough was with Joanna, but the killer obviously deliberately left Joanna alive, maybe to make Joanna sober, but it would be against him - that is, it was a gamble.

Now the decision was in his hands, and Charles's face was cloudy, and the fists hanging at his side gradually clenched.

"What's going on here?!"

Just as Charles's fists clenched tighter and his face gradually darkened, a voice came from above, and as soon as Charles and the other guards looked up, Master Ulysses appeared in the air, looking down.

Charles was surprised at first, he hadn't let people send a signal yet, even if he sent a signal, the ** division would not come in such a short time, and then he thought of something, his eyes crossed with joy, and he was surprised and said:

"Master Ulysses, less than a quarter of an hour ago we heard a call, and when we arrived, it was already like this."

Master Ulysses nodded, falling from the sky, a yellow light flying out of his hand, and a small enchantment pushed the remaining guards out, securing the scene.

Master Ulysses glanced at Joanna, her lips moved slightly, and the silver and white light in her eyes flickered, as if soothed by some kind of force, Joanna stopped muttering nervously, closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

"Your Highness, please tell me more about what happened."

Master Ulysses didn't seem to get any useful clues, his face didn't relax, he put a mute on Joanna, frowned, and said to Charles.

Charles nodded, motioning for the guard holding Joanna to elaborate.

After listening to the whole process of the guards from the discovery to the time before his arrival, Master Ulysses nodded, did not ask any more questions, did not ask why Charles happened to be here, and only said to Charles:

"Your Highness, this matter is very important, and this matter must be notified immediately."

"That's what I want to do, too."

Charles said, and then without hesitation, he motioned to his subordinates to take out the signal scroll, and at the same time put down a large stone in his heart:

He guessed correctly, Master Ulysses should have been around all the time, so that even indirect proof of time would be enough to defeat all the designs against him.

"Princess Joanna was brought back by Byron, and it is known that she is likely to be the fiancée of the fifth child, and she still counts me in it--hmph, Odin really sees me as a thorn in the side!"

I don't think Odin would have thought that his father would let a ** master follow him for his safety!

Thinking of the importance shown by the emperor in this move, and the face of Odin when he was defeated, Charles was happy!

A red light with a long tail flew into the sky, and exploded over the forest with a bang, and people scattered in all corners of the forest saw the situation in the sky.

"It's finally here!"

From the time of Odin Tiyì to the present, Leonardo had a feeling that the dust was finally about to settle, he flicked his cloak, took the reins of the horse lightly in the belly of the horse, and said to the guards:

"Let's go, let's go back!"

……

The same thing is happening all over the forest. Douglas and Lancet were at the edge of the forest.

The red signal in the air, nervousness swept over Douglas's face, and after distinguishing the direction of the signal, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Lenster:

"It's the west, I don't know what's going on, but I used the highest red warning signal."

Whatever it was, there was Lancet by his side all the time. He'll be able to sit back and watch the show!

"The red signal must be a human death. Although we are far away, the forest is no longer safe, so let's leave as much as possible! ”

Lenster glanced at the guards who had been on full alert since the signal exploded, and said to Douglas.

His expression was solemn, thinking of his attack and Lin An's words not to alarm others, and deeply felt that the water of this winter hunt was turbid, if he had announced his attack before, no matter why, he would have become one of the entrants and stirred up this turmoil. I can't pull out if I want to!

But since Lin An gave him a reminder, could it be that this incident has something to do with her?

A deep worry rose in Ranster's heart.

At this moment, another bright red firework exploded in the air, and the red smoke that had not dispersed before. Half of the sky is dyed with blood, as if to herald the coming storm.

"South? …… Strange, who actually ran to such a deep place? ”

Douglas reined in his horse again, looked at the two completely different directions of the signal point, and muttered to himself.

Ranster's brow furrowed even deeper.

……

Lin An opened his eyes from meditation.

Through the gaps between the canopies, a blood-red sky appeared before her eyes.

Titi and the Shadow Lynx were squatting in the shade of a tree not far away, because of the distance between the enemy and the ** division at a long distance, for safety, she called Titi back to guard the side.

After that, although there was no danger, but the previous large-scale perception and air-casting battles also made her mental power consume a lot, and when they met other hunting teams, she immediately withdrew from the tree incarnation, still feeling dizzy in her brain, and hurriedly sat down to recover her mental power.

The leaves fluttered, and Saleen flew down from the tree.

"Two red signals, one to the west and one from the depths of the forest to the south." He said to Lin An, glancing at Titi in the shade of the tree.

Titi learned from Lin An to put on a five-hearted posture, motionless, looking extremely deep, the shadow lynx lying behind him was like a lazy big cat, the dark golden beast pupils lazily swept Salin, opened his mouth and yawned, revealing a mouth full of sharp beast teeth, flashing with a cold cold light.

Salin had a feeling that he was threatened by this ferocious demonic beast, raised his eyebrows, turned his head lightly and said: "This hunt is about to be stopped, now all the hunting teams are running out, and this forest is about to be sealed......"

The implication is to ask Lin An if he wants to leave.

As soon as Lin An was about to speak, a powerful coercion suddenly came from a distance, and soon reached the sky above the forest.

The person who came did not hide it, and released a strong oppression, Salin immediately silenced, looked at Lin An, and saw that her face was not different, so he put his heart at ease.

Sure enough, shortly after, Salin felt a powerful visitation spell sweep through the forest, but it didn't stop on them, and swept over without stopping.

The shadow lynx was as calm as a human, lying motionless on the ground, but the beast's pupils, which had been half-closed and half-closed, were now round and glowing in the shadows.

"Everyone should leave the forest immediately, and help each other in groups, and do not approach the place where the signal was issued, and those who violate it will bear the consequences!"

The voices of Master Rice and Master Alberta resounded over the forest, like loud thunder that spread throughout the forest.

There seemed to be some kind of coercion in the voice, and most of them trembled in their hearts, and subconsciously followed their words and hurriedly ordered to leave the forest.
