Chapter 316: Change

After Prino sent Xia Lan back to the room, he politely said goodbye and left, the cautious Xia Lan was able to relax his tense nerves after making sure that the other party disappeared into the detection range of perception, soothing the depression given by the other party on the mental level, Xia Lan calmed down and began to think carefully about the countermeasures for facing Viscount Moron in the Castle of Via.

At this meeting, he had a showdown with Viscount Morroen in an alternative way of dialogue.

Although Xia Lan reached a temporary peace with Viscount Moron with the threat of being killed, once the key foreign enemy of the "Ancestral Consensus" is resolved, the other party's spearhead will immediately turn to them, and Xia Lan believes that Viscount Moron will definitely have the means to deal with them!

If they don't want to sit idly by, the only chance they can fight for is during the period when Viscount Moron and the "Ancestors Meeting" completely divide the victory and defeat!

But will Viscount Morron give him a chance to turn over? No, absolutely not, he could almost be sure that every move in his daily life would be under the surveillance and control of Viscount Moron, and any rash move would attract the attention of the other party.

How to get out of the current predicament has also become a difficult problem for him.

Raising his right hand and opening his palm, his fingers were slightly bent and clenched, and his fist surged with a surging sense of power, but Xia Lan deeply felt a kind of pale powerlessness.

When he thought that he had stepped into the upper realm and looked down from a height beyond the reach of others, he suddenly realized that he was small, and the power he was proud of turned out to be so ridiculous in front of a stronger enemy, and every time, he had to think hard. Fight your life to get away with your opponent. Life dances on the tip of the knife. There is an endless abyss under your feet, and if you take one wrong step, you will die without a place to be buried!

Is it cruel? Tired? And does he have a choice?

Few people experience the taste of passing by death, but most people who experience it will feel the preciousness of life, Xia Lan is different, because he has already had too many such experiences, so many times that he has already been numb.

This is true of many things, and once you start to get used to it, you will gradually become numb.

The soulless shell was empty, like the walking dead. The trajectory of life's destiny is inscribed in the established course of manipulation, there is no freedom, there is no self.

In front of the retina, there is a faint task text of the system, and the word "completed" is still not displayed at the back end of the must, this is only the third ring, and the more rings in the future, the more danger it represents, just the current situation of the task Xia Lan is already exhausted, and the wolf is unbearable, even if he has more plans. But the plan did not succeed, and the previous qiē was all a fantasy, and everything would not go well. Accidents and accidents will always happen suddenly in the unexpected, and the consequences can be imagined when caught off guard and unable to adapt in time.

It seems that under the surface of the scenery, it is actually vulnerable, this is a fact, a cold and cruel truth!

Absentmindedly stood up from the sofa and walked to the windowsill, looking at the dark and unfamiliar Villa Castle under the night sky with deep eyes, the castle was very quiet, and occasionally you could see a column of guards patrolling under the cold wind with torches, during this time the climate was too calm, perhaps just to cover up the coming violent storm, this winter, this season, wind and snow are the only main theme.

The closed gates of the castle in the distance suddenly opened, and Xia Lan saw a familiar blood-red figure galloping in, followed closely by a fierce and solemn cavalry team.

Eckhart? Guards Legion? Did something big happen to Quirofi?

Xia Lan, who recognized the blood-red figure at a glance, subconsciously reacted in her mind.

……

"Lord Viscount, Eckhart is back."

At the same time, in Viscount Moronne's study, Plino, who was in the shadow of the bookcase, moved his ears and interrupted the conversation between Viscount Morroen and Segreg.

"Huh? So fast? Viscount Moron's attention shifted to Plino's surprise for a moment.

"Yes, he's on his way here now." Prino said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, Prino closed his mouth and turned his head to look in the direction of the door of the study, because he had already noticed Eckhart's whereabouts with his keen sense!

Knock knock knock -

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Viscount Morroon said with a dignified expression.

Eckhart, who was wearing armor, pushed the door in, and every step he took on the ground caused the sound of the armor on his body colliding, and the blood-red cloak was slightly raised, and his solemn face was full of solemnity.

"Tell the Viscount, I'm back." Eckhart stopped a few steps before Viscount Moron and saluted respectfully.

"Eckhart, the matter of Pine Blue Manor is settled?" Viscount Morroon said in a deep voice.

"Yes, it's a pity that we were a step late, when our subordinates led the Guards to arrive at Songlan Manor to investigate, it turned out that there was no longer any part of Pozaro and Ollambert in Songlan Manor!" Eckhart said.

"They're gone?" Viscount Morone said with a solemn expression, "What about the others in Songlan Manor? ”

"They're all dead! This includes all the servants, guards, and personnel of the Guard Department of Pine Blue Manor! Eckhart said.

"All dead?" Viscount Morron was stunned.

"Yes! And the weirdest problem is that they all died in the same place at the same time! Not only that, but there was not a trace of scars or struggles on the bodies of the deceased, and the cause of their death was poisoning in the preliminary investigation. Eckhart said.

"Where did they die at the same time?" Prino interjected at this point.

"The manor's banquet hall." Eckhart said.

Plino nodded, and after a thoughtful thought, he said, "At that time, there was only one person who had the power to let everyone gather in the banquet hall, and kill them silently with guò poison......"

"Bozaro!" Segreg, who was silent on the side, gasped.

Viscount Moron's face changed uncertainly, and after a long time, he turned to Eckhart and said, "What other unusual things have you noticed?" ”

"One thing, the cause of Gna's death is a bit odd." Eckhart said. "Because he didn't really die of poisoning, but a small piercing wound to the back of the neck, if I hadn't accidentally discovered this, I'm afraid the real cause of his death would probably have made me ignore the past!"

"Piercing stabs?" Viscount Morone frowned.

"Judging by the wounds, Gna must have been stabbed in the back of his neck with a needle-like weapon." Eckhart said.

"But Perzaro is not a good wielder, Eckhart, do you mean to say that?" Prino squinted.

"The use of needle-like weapons is generally an assassination method, although the good use of the sword can clear his suspicion through guò such a means of concealing people's ears, but judging from Gna's scars, this kind of delicate assassination method is difficult for even Czaro to succeed lightly!" "The main thing is that scars don't lie! If a person who is good at using a sword uses other weapons to kill people, then the scars caused will more or less leave the shadow of swordsmanship, which is a sword instinct that is deeply rooted in their bones, not to mention the high swordsman Bozaro, and I did not see the shadow of swordsmanship in the scars on Gna's corpse, but saw the shadow of the good use of short-bladed daggers! ”

"You're saying someone else killed Gna?" Plendeau Road.

"That's right!" Akhart concluded.

"Suppose that the murderer of all the people in Pine Blue Manor is not Perzaro, but some kind of conspiracy......" Ségreg said in deep thought.

"The Ancestors Agreed!" Viscount Morroen instantly thought of them who had gathered towards Quirofi during this time!

"We have no proof that it's them! Moreover, this may be a deliberate attempt by Pexaro to mislead our thinking! With the power that Perzaro has had in Querofi all these years, it would not have been difficult for him to hire an assassin with a masterful assassination strategy! Prino said calmly.

Eckhart glanced at Prino intentionally or unintentionally, he wondered why Prino kept staring at Perzaro's suspicion, was there any contradiction between them that he didn't know?

"All of you stand down, I want to be alone!"

Viscount Moron held his forehead and said suddenly.

Plino, Eckhart, and Segreg glanced at each other, then nodded together and left.

After they were all gone, Viscount Moron sighed deeply.

Bozarro, old man, did you really betray me for him? (To be continued......)
