Chapter 249: Assault (2)
Hathaway received the alarm from the Shadow King, and she slowly opened the curtain of the carriage and pulled out a small black wand.
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of breaking the air, and Hathaway's eyes immediately narrowed...... This is the sound of a military crossbow, and it is clear that the other party has this weapon in his hand, which is strictly forbidden to be used at will.
A magical light rippled from the surface of the carriage, and the powerful crossbow bolts that flew out were bounced away, this carriage was a magical vehicle that she had spent a lot of effort to build, and speed, defense, and comfort were the things that made this magic carriage purpose.
The next bow and crossbow were all shot by the magic of the 'Protective Arrow', and Stilwell, who acted as a coachman. Ponson's figure floated like a wisp of smoke towards the Assassins in front of him...... He knew the function of this carriage, like a small magic fortress, and there was no need to worry about it at all.
The Assassins in front of them had already noticed that the coachman was moving, and with a twist of their crossbows, they shot at the flying figures...... The next moment, the figures strangely disappeared from in front of them, and then they let out screams one by one, and the wrists, knees, and ankles shot out blood lines one after another. This kind of injury happens to be able to make a person lose the ability to resist and escape, and if left untreated for a long time, disability is possible.
The protection of the carriage was apparently much of a surprise to the Assassins, and after the Assassins in front were entangled, the Assassins behind were already approaching quickly, and an Assassin probe was about to pull open the door.
"Be carefulβ"
An Assassin behind him had just shouted a warning when the door opened and an iron rod slammed into the Assassin's head. There was a 'poof' sound, like a ripe watermelon being violently opened, splashing red and white everywhere, and a short figure rushed out of the car door, and the iron rod slammed into the head of the second assassin with the sound of the wind...... The assassin's body suddenly lit up with two silver rings, and then the long sword flicked upward, trying to break the smashed iron rod. Unexpectedly, the iron rod suddenly crossed an arc, changed from smashing to sweeping, and smashed him out with a 'bang'.
Hathaway was following Birling. Hegel came out behind her, and she was a little curious. I don't understand who attacked her at this time...... Dietrich. Fei Wenli? When pigs fly. Not to mention that she can bring him huge benefits now, even if there is no partnership, he will not risk offending Fei Wenlie XVIII to assassinate himself for the sake of mere interests. As for the eldest prince. It's also impossible. If there is a chance to harm yourself. He will never stand idly by, but this kind of blatant assassination is not in his interests.
But. This kind of assassination was really not a big deal for Hathaway, and after handing over the assassins in front of her to the Shadow King, she looked at those behind her...... In addition to being with Bilin. Hegel and Alia. After the two warriors who fought in Fogu, the others carried heavy military crossbows in their hands, and most of them also held another crossbow that was about to be wound.
Hathaway was never polite to these Assassins, but she didn't want to be a cruel and ruthless executioner who would take human life at will, "Ice Age! β
With a slight wave of the wand in his hand, the cold air overflowed, and the assassins who were about to attack again suddenly felt stiff and frozen.
Bang!
Burst!
Two muffled sounds, but it was with Bilin. Hegel, Aria. Although the two warriors in the battle of Fugu opened the fighting ring to avoid the fate of freezing into ice sculptures, they were immediately killed by the second daughter due to their stiff hands and feet.
A rush of footsteps came faintly in the distance, and two magicians flew quickly in the sky, staring down with angry faces: "Who dares to kill in the capital?" Magic is still abusive?! β
A fifth-level magician?
Hathaway's eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't answer immediately.
"Hey, can you see some clearly?"
Alia. Forgu was reluctant: "This is the Countess of Cordillera, the official magician of the Magic Association, who was attacked by assassins just now, and the security of your Heidelberg is too bad, right?" β
The two magicians in mid-air were a little surprised, not that they thought that Alia. Forgu lied...... Hathaway's nobility is nothing to these magicians, the key is the spells Hathaway casts. They didn't know what the true rank of the spell Hathaway was casting, but they could still feel the fluctuation and power of the spell.
The magic badge on Hathaway's body is a first-level magician, which is already very rare at her age, and the magic fluctuations on the scene will definitely not be something that a first-level magician can do, most of them...... Items such as magic scrolls should have been used.
This was the unanimous idea of the two magicians, and Hathaway did not explain it. She didn't go to the Magic Association to check her true magic level because she didn't need to. For this reason, he also used the technique of concealing his own breath.
The city defense army soon arrived at the scene, and the situation at the scene was clear at a glance. Although Pang Sen was alive, when the city defense army came forward to arrest him, he found that these people had committed suicide by taking poison, and finally had to pack up their bodies and weapons, hoping to find clues from them, and Hathaway and others also returned to their residences after cooperating with the police station to investigate and collect evidence.
Even if the night drove away some of the heat, the night was far from comfortable, and many people tossed and turned because of the heat, and it was difficult to sleep. At Bersington Manor, however, it's a different story entirely...... Obviously, there are big people in the manor today, and those flowers and flags show that the people who have come are extraordinary; The scantily clad guard of honour of the Praetorian Guard lined up from Greenfield to 1 Bassington, while another Green-Armored Knights stood in front of the building, in accordance with an old tradition of welcoming guests.
These knights have revealed the identity of the great man who came to Bersington Manor, the Archbishop of the Church of Nature in Heidelberg, Alain. Stephen, those knights in green armor are Templars.
Bersington Manor has many comfortable rooms in Alain. Archbishop Stephen was placed in the most simple and unpretentious room of all. As a high-ranking member of the Natural Church, the old man's life is extremely simple and regular, and the doctrine of the Natural Church is to require people to know how to exercise restraint, and the old man can play an exemplary role in this regard.
At this time, the old man was receiving the local clergy, and although he should have stayed in Heidelberg in his capacity, the events that had happened this time were so bad that they had alarmed the upper echelons of the church, and he really could not sit still.
Just a few minutes earlier, the companion of the Avian Eighteenth had suddenly left the room under a very unclever pretext. Stephen was not dissatisfied with this, although the old man could not hear what the court chief had whispered to this majesty, but the old man could still see that Fei Wenlie's face became extremely pale after hearing those words, and it was obvious that there were some heavy and extremely difficult things waiting for him to deal with, so as a guest, the host naturally could not interfere when there was something to do, and he also had something to deal with.
Fei Wenlie XVIII was ushered into a secret room by the palace governor on duty, and the Supreme seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and he kept muttering something in his mouth. The court steward had always wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, for he seemed to hear His Majesty muttering dirty words. But the manager thinks it's understandable...... Although the people in those churches have always claimed to be kind, corporate, and selfless, if you stay with them for a long time, it is definitely a kind of mental torture, and you can't get angry yet.
The adults in the secret room stood up to greet him after seeing His Majesty's arrival, but Fei Wenlie XVIII did not intend to greet them, these ministers' expressions were a little embarrassed, they didn't know if they should sit down with this Majesty, but if His Majesty didn't greet them, these rabbit-like adults would never dare to put their butts on the chairs.
Fivinel XVIII sat at the innermost part of the long table, his face was very gloomy, and the sound in his throat was like that of a tiger or other beast, and the whole chamber was shrouded in this atmospheric pressure, and the rabbits ...... Well, the ministers, they tried to suppress their breathing, because they knew exactly what was going on.
"Okay, Zhuqing, don't be like your parents died, since this incident has happened, then it means that you have conclusive evidence, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the evidence is conclusive, and although the killers at the scene attempted suicide, His Excellency the Count Bell secretly prevented the movement of several of them, so we obtained sufficient evidence." The answer to this majesty was the head of the police department of the Ministry of Justice, Berenni. Count of Howth.
"Count Hoss, I'm sure you must know my attitude towards this matter, can you bear the consequences?" The words of Fivinel XVIII sounded like a threat.
Berenny. Hoss's sinister and cunning face was full of rare joy, in fact, he had been excited about the efficiency of his subordinates for a long time, after all, the assassination of imperial nobles in the capital was not a common occurrence, and such an efficient detection of this case added a lot of light to his face.
"Your Majesty, I can vouch for my family's reputation, and when I have fully figured out the ins and outs of this incident, the Undersecretary of Logistics of the Imperial Military Department, Missan . The Marquis of Camille will kneel at your feet for repentance. β
Fivinel XVIII slammed himself on the back of his chair, a little tired from the anger he had just had.
The old emperor knew that although the police department of the Ministry of Justice was not very reliable, at least in the case of Hathaway's assassination, they didn't dare to talk nonsense about giving them a gentian, and he was also very clear about the grievances between Hathaway and the Camille family.
