The Tiger's nursing room is located on the highest floor of the Royal Hospital. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThere are only a handful of people who have received it here, but their names have all been in the skies over the continent of Pande. King Alfred, who was mortally wounded in the siege of Issos, recuperated here; Ulrique IV was imprisoned here by his rebellious son, King Lionheart, in the name of recuperation, and spent his days in desolation with the fireplace coals.

When Kia walked into the nursing room, he saw the mountain-like body on the hospital bed, with the sutured wound lying like a hideous centipede lying between Schneider's abdomen. Hearing the footsteps of the comer, Schneider turned his head with difficulty, and the first thing he said was: "Who is in charge of logistics now?" ”

"My father." After hearing Kia's answer, Schneider was silent for a long time, "Help me tell Duke Elfwan something, it doesn't matter if he can't be busy, I can toss whatever he wants before I recover from my injury." Just don't go to Ned Grace for help. ”

"It's too late." Kia didn't bother with Schneider's arrogant words, after all, Duke Elfwan himself admitted that there was no one to beat Schneider in this regard. "My father and I just came out of Grez's mansion. And he promised to temporarily act as the president while you were recuperating from your injuries, and help your father deal with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

Schneider glared at Kia: "Listening to your tone, it seems that you also know that Ned has a problem?" Why don't you persuade your father? ”

Kia asked rhetorically, "What about the evidence?" ”

"Still need proof? Who has the motive to collude with heretics and benefit from my death with Jeffrey, who else but Ned? Don't look at him in the military and political circles, and even became the deputy director of a heresy inquisition, but I know that he is still a complete businessman in his bones! Forced away by me for more than ten years, how could he miss this opportunity to make a comeback? Schneider sneered, this action touched his wound, he gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, and continued to analyze Kea, "Do you know what kind of dark inside story I had when I was competing with Ned for the president? ”

Kia shook his head, the past was too far away for him to be recorded on any sheet of paper in the Great Library. It's just that he'd heard the elders talk about it. At that time, Ned was in the limelight, and he became a royal business advisor at a young age, and because his father was the president at the time, the voice of the chamber of commerce was also very high. But Schneider slaughtered in the air, like a tiger scurrying out of the mountains and forests, and forcibly snatched the throne of the president from Ned. It was a war without blood, without gunpowder, but still tragic. Many old people in the Chamber of Commerce who have experienced the election of the year are secretive about this, as if there is a deadly poisonous snake hidden in the old things.

"A lot of people weren't optimistic about me back then. Except that my brain is better than his, in terms of connections and background, I am not as good as Ned. Schneider recounted slowly, the dusty years gradually revealing their hideous faces, "but I defeated him overnight, at the cost of a demonic orb captured from Fieldsway's heretical stronghold. He looked at Kia, "If you have access to the Inquisition's files, you will know that in the year 343 of Pande, Brandon Gretz, then president of the Chamber of Commerce and Ned's father, was sent to the Black Prison of the Inquisition. The crime is to collude with infidels. Although the Blackwing Monks had only recovered one Demon Orb from the mansion, it was enough. Brandon is a delicate man who cannot withstand the torture of the black prison. But he is innocent, what can he explain? He died in the black jail before he could even tell his interrogators that someone had attempted to frame him. So this unsolved case became a stain on the head of the Grez family, and during that time, all the members of the Grez family seemed to have become a walking plague, and everyone was afraid to avoid it. In this way, Ned was suspended from his position for investigation, his influence in the Chamber of Commerce plummeted, and I became the president of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Really...... unimaginable. Kia was silent for a long time and whispered, "Why did you tell me?" ”

"Don't you want proof?" Schneider looked at Kea mockingly, "I destroyed a heretic stronghold and took away the Demon Orb, which they regarded as a treasure, and used it to frame Ned's father. Wouldn't it be great for these two parties to unite against me, and then take what they need? Ned avenged his father and became the new president of the Salion Chamber of Commerce. Since then, his hands have spread all over the military, political and business worlds, and he is on an equal footing with the three fairs of Saarion. Heresy also has a partner with a high position in Sarion. That's the evidence, is it enough? ”

"Not enough." Kia actually shook his head, "It's just your imagination and inference. I need enough hard proof to crucify Ned. ”

"Ironclad evidence? Now that you've met Ned, you know what an old fox he is, and he'll show you his tail? Schneider was angry.

"Of course." Kia smiled maliciously, "I told Ned that your chances of survival are only 30%, and the Sarion Chamber of Commerce can't do without its president."

Schneider's face sank, and a layer of frost covered his eyes. He understood what Kea meant: as long as Schneider really died, then the word "agent" could of course be removed. He stared at Kia and said word by word: "Risking my life to gamble on a situation that is impossible at all?" All he had to do was send someone and cut open my wound with a single knife to pluck himself open. Do you think he will come and take my fat flesh as a sacrifice to his father? ”

"President Schneider, I think you're mistaken." Kia stood up, smiling undiminishedly, "All I need is an assassin to come." This is enough to prove that Ned is really plotting against him. ”

"And then,? Do you have a dispensable piece of evidence based on a botched lie that wants to crucify Ned at the stake? Schneider was aggressive, "Behind Ned are the Graces and Eldred families, and your father may also support him." Everyone said that Kia Elfwan was extremely good at strategy, why was it that what appeared in front of me was just a hairy boy who was clever and stupid? ”

"And then? Then I was finally able to convince myself. President Schneider isn't worried. You are the pillar of Sarion, and the Assassin will never take half a step in front of you. ”

Schneider looked at Kia, and suddenly he realized that he had lost sight of the young man. When I first met him in the prison of Sarion, he was like all his peers, only angry over meaningless little things, like a pool of clear water, and his inner thoughts were so superficial that people could see them clearly. But today he sat steadily, with an obnoxious smile on his face, and answered questions like arrows from Schneider. Yesterday's shallow pool seems to have become a bottomless pool. "What the hell are you thinking?" Schneider couldn't help but ask.

Kia didn't answer, he walked to the window, lifted the curtains, and looked out the window at the evening sky, the sunset was draped in a light veil of clouds, hanging quietly in the center of the twin towers, and the white jade towers were dyed with a layer of red, like the girl's slightly drunk face.

The sunset in Sarion is as beautiful as ever.
