Suddenly hearing about this, several people were a little surprised, but it was not completely unexpected. In fact, Barry had already felt a little bad before, because the second group of swordsmen who came to kill them came too quickly, and the people who went back to ask for help almost immediately contacted them, indicating that they were already nearby, so what were these assassins doing nearby?

According to Barry's conjecture, these assassins were originally divided into two teams, one of which assassinated Baron Merovie, and the other team came to the forest to pursue Linton, and the target was originally aimed at the people of Merlowe's family, and the princess was implicated. Later, due to the failure of the assassination of Linton and Garsein, the other team was called to help, so the second group would come so quickly.

That five-star swordsman-level assassin is indeed too strong, not to mention a monster like Linton, it is impossible for ordinary people to escape his assassination. Barry had a premonition that something was going to happen before he came back, but he was still a little surprised to hear the news.

So who did the Merlowe family mess with? This force that can send five-star swordsman-level assassins is definitely not a small force, let alone a baron-level, and it is impossible for an earl-level assassin team to have this level. In other words, a force at least the Duke level wants to assassinate everyone in the Merlowe family, what kind of trouble is this family in?

Of course, Baron Seders also gave a detailed introduction to the situation, the disappearance of the princess was too big, and the people of the Merowe family naturally all went out and took the soldiers to search everywhere, and when they were looking, something happened. There were three people who died, Baron Merlowe himself, who was Linton's eldest brother, Jorabeau. Merlowe. The eldest son of the baron, Todd. Merlowe. The second son of the baron, Gross. Merlowe.

One of the baron's second sons, Gross. Merlowe is only 9 years old, and he is still a child, so it can be seen that the other party is obviously going to destroy them, and the kind of children will not let go.

According to Baron Seders, Chorabo and Todd were found assassinated one after the other, and the soldiers who followed them to find people were basically killed. Knowing that the matter was big, they also imposed martial law, but they did not expect that after Gross was killed in the castle of the Merlowe family, the assassin was really a bit powerful.

This kind of assassination also delayed their progress in finding the princess, so they didn't dare to act casually in the past few days, and the people of the Merlowe family basically didn't dare to come out, and they hid in the city with heavy guards. Baron Seders led his troops to search for the princess, and although he was also assassinated, he decided to take the risk in order to find the princess.

Hearing this, Princess Arlan blamed herself very much, although she was not looking for the assassin, but after all, Baron Merlowe was also attacked by the assassins in order to find her, and she had a certain responsibility. But Rena next to her was very happy, yes, Baron Merlowe is dead, she doesn't have to marry, and she doesn't even need any king's special order, which is of course too cool.

Linton and Garseen didn't have much reaction, and Linton didn't know his big brother well anyway, so they had only met once. Garsein, I don't like this uncle anyway.

Barry also briefly told Baron Siders about the situation they encountered, of course, he didn't mention the matter of the Fire Eater, but only about the Assassins. Knowing that Linton and Garseen were also attacked by the assassins, Baron Seders, as an elder, also thanked Barry, in his opinion, it was naturally Barry, the captain of the Maple Leaf Guard, who solved the assassins, without him, it is estimated that Linton and Garseen would have died in the forest.

Although Baron Siders knew that his son-in-law-to-be, Linton, was not a waste, he did not think he was too powerful. And these assassins were able to succeed in heavily guarded castles, and they were definitely not ordinary people. However, Barry was also a little embarrassed to hear his thanks, he had been saved by Linton a few times, but he didn't explain much.

After a brief introduction, of course, that's all that's left to deal with. This time, it was Princess Arlan who spoke first: "Baron Seders, please rest assured, on behalf of the royal family, I promise you that I will definitely give you an explanation." ”

This matter originally involved the princess, and then Baron Merovi was also the baron of the empire, and the empire must be in charge of the assassination, and Princess Yalan herself was a little blameful, so she directly took over the matter, indicating that the empire would investigate these assassins later.

"These Assassins must have returned." Barry said, "Their captain was killed, and it should not be possible to continue the assassination mission for the time being, it should be safe for the time being, but you still have to strengthen your vigilance, Baron Seders, you are also one of the targets, you must be careful." The empire already knows about this matter, and will send someone to investigate it soon, so don't go any further. ”

"Yes, Lord Barry, I see." What Barry means is that you can't control this matter, this assassin team is definitely a big faction, and it's not something that you barons can manage, just leave it to the Empire. Baron Seders, of course, understood, and nodded in response.

"Lord Baron Seders, as much as I would like to stay and deal with this matter, I must return to the Imperial Capital now." Princess Yalan said, "But don't worry, I will immediately report to my father and ask him to send someone over." ”

It was normal for the Duke of Arlan to rush back, and Linton probably knew what was going on. During the small talk before, Princess Arlan said that she wanted the horn of the Fire Devouring Beast because it was a pharmaceutical material, and it was supposed to save someone important, so she had to send it back immediately after getting it. This is also the reason why she supported Linton to go back and not take a detour, because it was really in a hurry.

While everyone was talking, they had returned to the castle of Merlowe's family, and when they saw the princess come back, the people of Merlowe's family were also relieved, after all, the princess disappeared and they were the first to be held responsible, and now they encountered an assassination against them, no one dared to go out to find someone, but fortunately, the princess came back.

Princess Yalan also briefly told the matter, and when she heard that the empire was going to investigate this matter, everyone was relieved. And Linton's side didn't attract anyone's attention, he was okay Everyone thought it was Barry's work, and the Fire Eater, this thing was a phantom beast, no one had really seen it, they did notice that Linton came back with a strange deer, but no one thought it was the legendary phantom beast.

However, when they heard that the princess was about to leave, the Merlowe family was nervous again. Of course, it is safest for the princess to stay here, and the empire will send heavy troops to protect it, but there is no reason for them to stop the princess from going back.

At this time, the people of Barry's guard, who had already contacted him, immediately prepared a carriage for Princess Arlan to go back, and set off immediately to send the princess back safely. Princess Yalan seemed to be in a hurry to go back to save people, so she quickly prepared to leave, and before going back, she repeatedly assured these people from the Merlowe family that the empire would immediately send someone to investigate the matter.

At this time, the people of the Merowe family were also a little calmer, and one of them also stood up and said to Princess Yalan: "Your Royal Highness, can I ask you for something." ”

"You ......"

"In the lower Luwen. Merlowe is the second uncle of Baron Merlowe. "Yes, the person who spoke was Linton's second uncle, the eldest person in the Merlowe family at the moment, Lu Wen.

"Hello, Merlot great, what is the matter?" Princess Arran asked.

"Baron Merlowe has been assassinated, and we want to send someone to make a formal report to the Imperial side." "Secondly, when the new Baron Meroves takes office, according to tradition, he should also go to the imperial capital to accept his post. ”

"Hmm." Princess Arran nodded, "So what do you mean...... Ready to have the new Baron Merowe set out with us for the Imperial Capital? ”

"Yes, exactly all the way." Lu Wen said.

Everyone immediately understood what Lu Wen meant, isn't this just to let the people of the Maple Leaf Guard protect the new Baron Merlowe. It is true that there is no problem with what Lu Wen said, the things reported and the things that are reported and reported have to go to the imperial capital, but there is no need to deliberately let the baron himself go, and it is generally okay to find someone to go. But now the territory is very dangerous, and the enemy has already won in their castle, who can guarantee that nothing will happen to the new baron? In this way, it is safer to go to the imperial capital with these masters of the Maple Leaf Guard.

But isn't this dragging the princess into the water, you see that the assassins are mainly going to kill the Merlowe family now, you let the princess take the baron with her, isn't she implicated again? Although Lu Wen wants to protect the new baron, he may offend the princess.

Of course, the guards of the Maple Leaf Guard also understood what was going on, and one of the team members just wanted to step forward to reprimand Lu Wen, but was stopped by Barry, the captain next to him: "Let the princess make her own decisions." ”

The team was a little weird, but they stepped back anyway. And the princess of Arlan here thought for a moment and asked, "The new Baron Merlowe...... Who is it? ”

Everyone was stunned, and then soon, everyone looked in the same direction, and the people who were watching were also stunned.

"Me?" The person who spoke was Garsein, who was pointing at himself with a confused expression.

Linton was also stunned, but when he thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case. The original Baron Merlowe was his eldest brother Jorabo, and after his death, the heir was originally the son of Jorabo, but Jorabo had two sons, and now they were all assassinated. The heir who goes down is Jorabo's younger brother, but Linton's second brother was also assassinated before, then further down, it is the eldest son of the second brother, just right, that is Garsein.

"Oh, oh, congratulations, eldest nephew, you have really become a nobleman now." Linton patted Garseen on the shoulder and said with a smile.
