Late at night, the Heavenly Dome Palace.

When the hurried Metternich Leopold stepped into the palace, Eckhart II, dressed in a loose robe, had been waiting for him behind his desk for a long time, and the elderly minister of the seals hurriedly bowed:

"Your Majesty, your Imperial Cabinet Member, Lord Siscott Charn, Chancellor of the Exchequer, died just before he went to the Royal Wizarding Academy for a banquet and returned to the embrace of the Holy Cross!"

"The Wizarding Academy... I'm afraid it's already a mess. Eckhart II did not see any shock on his face, and said in an extremely bland tone:

"How's it going, do you have eyebrows?"

"Before it has been ascertained, a garrison has been sent to investigate, and the Imperial Justice, Lord Victor Hus, is responsible for investigating the matter. Metternich Leopold, with a solemn expression, hesitated, but nevertheless spoke:

"Also, Lord Albert, the Wizard Advisor and... His Royal Highness Prince Brandon de Salion was present. ”

"Metternich ......" Eckhart II raised his sharp eyes coldly:

"You're not hinting at something to me, are you?"

"Absolutely not!"

Looking at the minister in charge of the seal, Eckhart II simply shook his head: "At this point, no matter how panicked it is, it won't help... In any case, it is important to get to the bottom of it. ”

"Yes. The Lord Keeper of the Seals immediately responded.

At the moment when he turned to leave, His Majesty the Emperor behind him spoke again:

"Also... The list I asked you to prepare, hopefully already has an eyebrow. ”

Metternich's figure was stunned, and he turned his back to His Majesty the Emperor and said, "Regarding the list of the next Chancellor of the Exchequer... I'll be able to deliver it to you tomorrow morning. ”

"I'm still waiting for a few days to see which clowns take the initiative to ask for help. Eckhart II's voice was deep and deep:

"Whatever the outcome, we have to be ready. ”

.........................................................

The black-haired wizard stared at the figure lying in a pool of blood, holding the little wizard behind him with both hands.

For a quarter of an hour, the huge banquet hall was silent for a full quarter of an hour, and a pair of wide-eyed eyes stared incredulously at the cold corpse of the ostentatious Lord "Siscott Charn", wondering if he was in a dream.

The shivering, bloodied young man of the Charn family knelt in a pool of blood, clutching the old man's fallen cane......

A dignified imperial nobleman, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, the leader of the old aristocracy, an old fox who has lived for seventy-six years......

That's it... Died in vain?

Frowning, Loren immediately turned his gaze to Gray Sal on the side, but the middle-aged wizard was also pale, and even the Albert Tarot Master who took the initiative to stand up had a forced calm expression, his eyes were blank, and he looked in a trance......

For true wizards, losing their minds is a precursor to danger... Even if it was really the Academy, this turmoil should not be in their plans.

Almost at the same time, the black-haired wizard thought of another, even more terrifying situation.

The former Chancellor of the Exchequer died at the Royal Wizarding Academy... No matter who does it, as long as it has a little bit to do with the academy......

The consequences are unimaginable!

Just as the whole banquet hall was in chaos, the door was forced open again, and the soldiers in full stride burst into the hall and violently pushed the wizard apprentices who stood in the way of the perimeter.

Loren, who frowned, raised his head and looked at the person who was coming, it was the garrison of the imperial capital Golovin.

"By order of the Imperial Cabinet, we will take over this place from now on!" shouted the Legion, who was at the forefront with a serious expression on his face:

"We've received reports that an Assassin has killed the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Siscott Charn, in the Academy!"

"No one is allowed to leave until the investigation of the entire incident is complete and conclusive evidence and the murderer are found!"

As the words fell, the faces of almost everyone in the hall changed suddenly, and a trace of consternation flashed in the corner of Loren's eyes, and he turned to look at the officer with a solemn expression.

Wrong......

There hadn't been even an hour since Siscott's death, and it was still midnight, and the garrison could be so quick that they could send out men to investigate in a few quarters of an hour?

And listening to his tone, it seems as if the whole incident has been characterized as a "homicide".

The officer with a serious face walked straight up to Albert Tarot, the advisor to the wizard in front of the Emperor, and didn't even look at the Lord Siscott, who had fallen to the ground, his bones were not cold, and said coldly:

"I'm so sorry, Imperial Wizard Advisor - please open the entire academy so that we can begin searching and apprehending the culprit at once!"

Although it was in a polite tone, the other party didn't give Albert a chance to protest at all, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, the garrison soldiers on both sides immediately stepped forward and drew their long swords in unison, full of murderous aura!

The trembling little wizard subconsciously pressed the "bright silver" on his waist, but was stopped by the black-haired wizard beside him and shook his head gently.

No, you must not do it now, otherwise you won't be able to tell.

"How can we ...... this?"

The pale-faced Gray Sal stood up, and before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by Albert Tarot silently, and the former wizard advisor still spoke softly and kindly:

"Your Excellency, if we agree to your terms... I'm afraid it won't be tonight before the Royal Wizarding Academy will become the murderer of Lord Siscott Charn, right?"

The expressionless officer's eyes were cold: "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. ”

"Lord Siscott Charn, who arrived at the Royal Wizarding Academy an hour ago, had only come for a walk-in tonight, and had not attended the banquet at all. ”

Master Albert glanced at the corpse on the ground and sighed regretfully: "In other words, even the wizards and all the guests present don't have a chance to do anything if they really want to. ”

"What's more, Lord Siscott's trip is to announce the Empire's funding for the Academy this year'', how could we 'specially' choose to assassinate the Empire's Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Academy at such a time?"

The officer's expression was stunned, obviously speechless.

"On the contrary, the guy who went out of his way to report to you and provided obviously misleading remarks seems to be even more suspicious. ”

When the words fell, the kind Master Albert put his hands in front of him, his eyes calm: "Officer, what do you think?"

The officer pursed his lips and seemed to be gagged speechless.

He did get the hint above and should give an answer as soon as possible...... The banquet of the Royal Wizarding Academy was attended by all the children of the nobility, the illustrious and wealthy, the heads of various guilds and families, all of whom were the same people.

If you want to detain them to find authentication and physical evidence, it can only now!

Looking at this seemingly kind, but in fact he did not give an inch, the officer's heart was extremely heavy... I thought I had found a great opportunity to climb up, but I fell into an abyss that I couldn't climb out.

"In that case...... the officer who suddenly felt his mouth dry tried his best to suppress the irritability in his heart: "Then can you please cooperate with us and investigate all the guests present one by one, so that we can find the murderer of the former Chancellor of the Exchequer as soon as possible." ”

Seeing that the other party finally lowered his posture, Master Albert bowed his head slightly, and his expression was solemn:

"Of course, that's what we should do - it's the Royal Wizarding Academy's responsibility to let the honored guests die at the banquet!"

"Please also cooperate with these loyal garrison soldiers, Lord Siscott Charn's death is a loss to the Imperial Cabinet and the entire Sakran Empire, no matter what the outcome is, we must give an explanation to the bereaved Charn family, and even the empire and His Majesty the Emperor!"

As the words fell, Master Albert patted the young man of the Charn family on the back, sighed and turned away, and the guests began to line up in two rows according to the orders of the garrison soldiers, waiting for inquiries.

Just as the black-haired wizard was about to leave with the crowd, his sleeve was suddenly tugged, and his eyes moved slightly, only to realize that Gray Sal was standing behind him:

"Something?"

"Your Excellency Loren Turin, please be sure to inform Your Highness. The middle-aged wizard lowered his voice, gritted his teeth, and turned pale to the extreme:

"If the Royal Wizarding Academy can survive this catastrophe......

All the wizards in the entire imperial capital will stand behind him without hesitation!"
