395 Mad dog that has lost his mind
Eventually, Lexia agreed to follow Sheen to the royal capital.
Even though she was a wanted criminal in the kingdom, she should be far away from the royal capital, and she should not be near a place like the royal capital to avoid stumbling, but with Sheehan here, Lexia was not too worried.
If you were someone else, you naturally wouldn't be able to keep Lecha.
After all, the old demon faction that Lexia had participated in the large-scale assassination ten years ago, and also stole important items in the palace, once the kingdom people found out, it would be impossible for even the royal family to protect her.
If it weren't for the fear of what Lyxia stole from him, perhaps the kingdom would have sent the Knights of the Guards to crusade against Lyxia.
In such a situation, whoever wants to protect Lexia almost always thinks that his life is long.
But if this person is Sheehan, it will be different.
First, Sheen has Ai by her side.
Second, Sheen has Lilith by her side.
Three, behind Sheehan there is Rosie.
In addition, the identity of the brave has been exposed to the Protoss, presumably Anima and other existences will not be stingy to help him secretly, such a person who combines the protection of the big men of the gods, humans, and demons, does the kingdom dare to offend casually?
Naturally, they don't dare.
In addition, as a space magician, Lexia is a self-sustaining artist and bold, and she can run away directly if she can't beat it, no one can stop her, this time, she will go, she is really not afraid.
Of course, Sheehan is not afraid either.
It's just that he is not so unscrupulous because there are people (and all of them are women) around him, on his side, and behind him, but he is confident that even if Lexia's existence is discovered, he has 10,000 reasons to get away with it.
Otherwise, is it really true that he, the pot dumper, did it for nothing?
Besides, Sheehan wasn't interested in Lycha either.
"I'm just a maid who covets her!"
As long as you say that, it should ...... Probably...... Maybe...... Possible....... No problem!
In view of this, before prying into the corner, Sheen can still protect this eldest lady.
Lexia didn't know about this, otherwise she would definitely turn around and leave, and she wouldn't have anything to do with Sheen, right?
It's a pity that by the time Lexia found out about this, it might have been too late.
In this way, the group completed the purpose of this time and prepared to return to the royal capital directly.
However, on the day of the day, an unexpected figure came to visit Sheehan.
"What kind of wind is blowing you here? Duke of Barry? ”
Looking at Barry, who appeared outside the door, Sheen raised an eyebrow, and laughed again in surprise.
The person who came was none other than the head of Duke String's house, the lord of this realm———— Barry String.
Barry appeared here with four knights of no lower rank, and looked at Sheen with a blank face.
"That's what I said." Barry said lightly: "I really didn't know that Viscount Borztut would actually come to my territory and participate in the incident in Cosmos. ”
Hearing this, Sheehan knew that the comer was not good.
And I don't know if it's a coincidence, now, Sheehan is the only one here.
Ai Yi is sleeping in the room.
Lyxia and Laxia didn't know if they were the first to notice the arrival of the great nobles of the kingdom, so in order not to reveal their identities, they used space magic to leave the hotel, and they couldn't detect the magic and aura at all.
Lilith also happened to be still asleep and didn't wake up.
Only Sheehan, after discovering Barry and a few good magical powers, woke up from his bed, left the room, and greeted the Duke here.
So, Sheehan sat down, looked at Barry standing outside the door through the living room, and said with a smile: "Lord Duke can say whatever he wants, don't be so weird." ”
These words can be said to have completely torn through the disguise and politeness on the surface, and they didn't even give people any face.
Barry was still expressionless, not knowing whether he didn't want to care about such a trivial matter, or because he realized that Sheen was no longer the adventurer who could let him be rounded and flattened before, so he suppressed the emotions in his heart.
However, the Duke also walked in unceremoniously.
Behind him, the four knights tried to follow.
However...
"Bang!"
With an extremely abrupt collision, a burst of flying stars burst out, blasting the four knights out and falling to the corridor outside the door.
"You...!?"
Barry's face finally changed dramatically, and his gaze at Sheen became angry.
Sheehan, on the other hand, was still smiling and groaning, withdrawing his hand that was surging with magical power.
"Sorry, overstepping." Sheen shrugged his shoulders and said, "The entourage around the Duke doesn't seem to know the rules very well, and they actually stepped into other people's halls when the nobles were talking with each other, which is so rude, I can't help but teach the Duke a lesson, I hope the Duke doesn't think I'm nosy." ”
Hearing this, Barry's face was gloomy for a while, and his heart was even more angry.
He knew that Sheehan was giving him a kick.
Because of his menacing relationship, the other party realized that there might be an uninvited guest, so he didn't plan to give face at all.
I was actually taught such a lesson by a viscount in my own territory?
This is definitely the first time in Barry's life!
However, Barry can't do anything about the other party.
How can it be?
Behind the other party is the power of the demon clan, and before they figure out what the relationship between the two sides is, no one dares to offend this viscount openly, right?
Including Barry, the same is true.
At that moment, Barry could only suppress the anger in his heart, came to Sheehan, and sat down.
I have to say that this Duke is indeed a big man in a high position, sitting upright, with an indifferent face, and exuding an iron-blooded and ruthless aura all over his body, which is enough to shock ordinary people to weak legs on the spot.
But Sheehan, of course, is not among them.
"I don't know what is the purpose of the Duke coming to this kind of place to find me?"
Sheehan said something like this casually.
Barry didn't do much superficial work either, or rather didn't have that kind of mood, and went straight to the topic.
"I've already gathered intelligence." Barry said indifferently: "It is said that the Secretary of Borztut arrived here before the accident of Cosmos, and entered Cosmos, where he had a lot of conflicts with His Royal Highness Cappelin of the Empire, and also met with the First Knights and the Knights of Broken Blade. ”
It seems that Barry did learn something about what happened in Cosmos.
"That's true."
Sheehan didn't deny it, but readily agreed.
"So, I have three questions, I hope Qing can answer them for me."
Barry narrowed his eyes and spoke.
"Oh?" Sheehan seemed to be interested, and said curiously, "What questions?" ”
"First." Barry stretched out a finger and asked very calmly, "Why did Qing suddenly leave the royal capital and come here?" ”
"That's what you have?" Sheen seemed to feel a little funny, and as if it was very meaningful, and said: "I was entrusted by Her Royal Highness the princess to learn about the old demon faction that appeared in the Dukeship of Strings, this matter, when I came to the Duchess of Strings and arrived in Teritli, I had already told the head of the Second Knights of the Strings family, Tris, and I also mentioned this matter in front of the doormen of Cosmos, presumably, the Duke would not have found this level of information, right?" ”
Sheehan's meaning is very simple, he is just sarcastic about Barry knowingly asking.
"That second question." Barry's face did not change, he did not feel embarrassed at all, but continued to ask: "Since Qing was in Cosmos at the time of the incident, then, I want to ask, what were you doing at that time?" ”
"This is another knowingly questioning thing, huh?" Sheen's tone became even more meaningful, causing him to smile and say, "Presumably, the Protoss has already told the Lord Duke who is the lord of the kingdom about you, so that the Lord Duke probably knows what happened in Cosmos, right?" ”
Through Anima's narration, the world has learned that the reason why Cosmos was destroyed was because an ancient evil god was sealed there, but was released by the old demon faction, which led to a catastrophe.
It's just that Anima didn't tell the world how the evil god was solved, so the world thought that the evil god was subdued by the goddess of life, one of the three goddesses, and the people in Cosmos would be safe and sound, thanks to this goddess.
Sheehan, on the other hand, is not mentioned.
This is also to protect Sheen's identity, as well as Lilith's identity, from being suspected and recognized.
So, according to the theory, Sheehan, like the people of Cosmos, was transferred outside Cosmos and protected after the incident.
If it weren't for this, Sheehan wouldn't have been able to stay so comfortably in this hotel, and someone would have come to the door a long time ago.
Therefore...
"The Duke wants to doubt me, that's your freedom, but can you please stop asking so many roundabout questions?" As if he had seen through Barry's intentions, Sheehan finally became sarcastic and said, "Say whatever you want, Duke and Lord." ”
These words are no different from offense.
“...... Then I'll get straight to the point. ”
Barry was silent for a moment, then looked at Sheen coldly and spoke in a deep voice.
"My son, my brother, and my First Knights, where have they gone?"
Barry, at last, said what he really meant.
Yes.
Barry is here to find someone.
"Before the incident, you had met with the First Knights and the Knights of Broken Blade, and advised them not to go near the place where the evil spirit was emanating, and I received such information." Barry said as if suppressing his feelings: "In other words, you may have known the inside story of this incident before the incident, but not only did you not leave Cosmos, but you also seemed to be close to the center of the incident." ”
Barry gathered this information before he came to his door.
Since Sheehan knew some kind of inside story from the beginning, Barry certainly wouldn't believe that this little fox, who had eaten more than once, would be so easily transferred out of Cosmos and not involved in the center of the incident from beginning to end.
Rather, rather than Sheehan passively leaving the center of the incident, Barry is more willing to believe that there is something unknown in this.
Sheehan, on the other hand, is one of the insiders, and even a participant.
"I want to know what happened here that no one knows about, and I want to know where my son, my brother, and the best knights have gone."
At this point, Barry could hardly hide his anxious tone.
"Tell me, I want to know everything."
Barry uttered these words almost through gritted teeth.
One can imagine what a blow this incident is for this duke.
Limjo is the future heir of the String family, and the family has high hopes that they will be able to return to the center of power in the kingdom under his leadership.
Yuri is also the strongest of the String family, the number one master in the territory, an important pillar of the String family, and a symbol of the highest combat power.
Needless to say, the First Knights, the first Knights in the Duke's County of Strings, the most important elite of the Duke of Strings' family, and the most important combat effectiveness.
Now that this force has disappeared without a trace, how can Barry not be agitated?
This is definitely a disaster that will cause the Strings family to suffer heavy losses, and may even cause the Strings family to fall off the altar.
Barry could even imagine how the neighboring countries would be eyeing each other after this battle, and how the lords of the surrounding territories would be ready to move and try to bite the Strings family fiercely.
This made the whole String family feel like they had a nightmare, and they were noisy and panicked every day for the past few days.
Barry is the same, he can't maintain his previous iron and ruthlessness at all, and falls into the biggest anxiety and restlessness in his life.
If it weren't for that, Barry wouldn't have come to the door.
He even wondered if something happened to Limjo and the others, and whether Sheen was behind it.
This is called a villain.
Obviously, he has been trying to kill others, but he takes it for granted that others will also try to kill him, what is this not a villain?
Sheehan understood the meaning, and the smile on his face couldn't help but disappear.
"What? Did I say yes? ”
Barry sneered, his fists clenched.
To this, Sheehan just wanted to say.
"I'm so idle, how can I bother with a guy like you?"
This time, it was Sheehan's turn to be expressionless, and even muttered to himself.
And Sheehan's appearance undoubtedly made Barry even more anxious.
"Answer me!" Barry stared at Sheehan and roared with red eyes, "Is it you!?" ”
Apparently, Barry has jumped over the wall.
One can imagine how much pressure this incident has put on Barry.
The heir, the pillar, the greatest combat power, and the family's future hopes, these things collapsed in one go, and this iron-blooded duke, who was feared by many people, began to lose his mind.
Sheehan didn't bother to pay attention to the lost dog.
"It's a waste of time to be honest with someone like you."
Sheehan got up and left as if he had lost interest completely.
At this moment, a vision struck.
