Chapter 865: Reason!
In the past, Xia seemed to be very reluctant to talk about her past experiences, especially how she entered the Dragon Forest, and Sui Yu was not interested in learning about Xiya's past, so it was never clear what Xia did in the past.
Now, through the narration of these former Falcon Mercenary Group personnel, Sui Yu gradually understood that Emotional Xiya turned out to be the leader of the Falcon Mercenary Group, the first mercenary group of the Acanian Kingdom!
As the first mercenary group, Xiya actually has a lot of talents under him.
Like the previous Paul, he is a warrior with a lot of adventure experience, and because of this, even if he is deliberately targeted to receive some very troublesome and low-paying adventure missions, he can still barely lead the team to support his family.
The strong man with the unshaven beard before is said to have mastered a lot of sword skills, and his combat strength is close to that of the top warriors of the kingdom knights!
If it weren't for the integrity and unwillingness to be a traitor, to be honest, he would have been forced to be in a hurry, and Segwood would definitely be messed up!
And now the Neil, who is speaking, as a thief, is not only proficient in various lock-picking and detection skills, but also has many eyes and ears, and is even better at inquiring about news, analyzing intelligence, and discovering the truth from it!
No, just when most people were blaming the deputy head named Hogan, who didn't look like a good guy when he heard this name, he pointed out that there might be a bigger conspiracy hidden behind this!
Even the conspiracy spans several years, and even the death of Xiya's parents may be related to this conspiracy!
And this guy is not empty words yet!
Shortly after he went out, Neil returned again and brought back a large leather bag.
Then, while everyone was eating and paying attention to the development of the situation, Neil opened the large leather bag and took out all kinds of evidence inside.
Some are magically branded images, some are unsigned letters, and some are signed and handprinted confessions.
It is not difficult to deduce from these evidences that were deliberately sorted out by Neil to appear well-organized, that there is really a mastermind behind what Xiya encountered!
Although the letters were apparently written by the people below, and were not signed in any way, it was impossible to trace their origins, or even to use them as evidence.
However, it is not difficult to determine who the owner of some of the letters corresponded to from some of the titles that Neil had circled in red pen, combined with the titles corresponding to the same handwriting on some of the other documents that Neil found.
At the same time, it is not difficult to see that the identities of some key personnel and the list provided by Neil plus the relationship chart of the people on the list are all related to the prime minister of the Kingdom of Acania!
In other words, the prime minister is behind all this!
Even, through Neil's investigation, he even found out why the prime minister did all this!
It's a very old-fashioned story again.
The prime minister seemed to be tired of life as a courtier, and thought that with his ability, he could be the king of the kingdom of Acania.
So after thinking so, he took decisive action.
Of course, if you want to overthrow the current king, it is useless to pay lip service.
The only way is to rely on force!
It's just that the Kingdom of Acania has a lot of restrictions on the private armies of the nobles.
Generally, the great nobles were only allowed to train some private soldiers who could only be used to watch the home, and there were strict restrictions on the number and armament.
Once the limit is exceeded, the crime can be directly punished according to the rebellion!
However, this did not bother the prime minister.
If you can't train a private army, then let's change the name!
So, the prime minister arranged for the son of a great nobleman who was absolutely loyal to him to form a mercenary group called the Holy Lion in the name of playing tickets.
On the surface, that second ancestor was very stupid, and he formed a mercenary group because he had a quarrel with someone, and then he was too big to step down.
In fact, the real purpose of the formation of the Holy Lion Mercenary Group is to become the prime minister's private army!
It's just that if the mercenary group wants to develop and grow, it also needs some names as a cover.
The Crane Tail Mercenary Regiment has a group of capable mercenaries, which is obviously suspicious.
As a result, under a plot of conspiracies, the number one Falcon mercenary group in the kingdom was unlucky.
The head of the regiment's family had accidents one after another, and in the end, the only seedling of Vernisia was left.
That's it, and no one plans to let it go!
Although Xia Ya was obviously aware of the abnormality in the later period, she was careful with others, and Xia herself also had not weak strength, so that the other party had not been able to put Xia to death well.
But in the end, he still couldn't escape the prime minister's right to pass him, and forcibly issued a mission to the Falcon Mercenary Group from top to bottom, forcing Xiya to die, and even implicated the main members of the Falcon Mercenary Group!
Previously, Thea had been reluctant to talk about why she had ventured into the Dragon Forest in the first place.
At this moment, because the words had come to this point, Sui Yu understood the reason why Xiya went to the Dragon Forest.
It turned out that an adventurer broke into the dragon forest when he was being chased by a demonic beast, and as a result, he picked up two treasures by chance.
And after bringing it back, it was appraised that the treasure not only had a long history, but was absolutely worth selling to the Empire.
One of the magic guides is not only usable, but it also has a good effect, and it seems to be able to prolong life!
So, as soon as this news came out, many adventurers who were not afraid of death immediately entered the dragon forest to look for treasure.
Then, although most of the adventurers who entered the Dragon Forest never came out again, the adventurers who came out found some good things to a greater or lesser extent!
Even if they couldn't find the treasure, they found some rare medicinal materials in the Dragon Forest, and after bringing these medicinal materials out, many people made a fortune because of it!
In particular, it is rumored that the Acanian Divine Spear, a once-lost artifact of the Kingdom of Acania, was found in the Dragon Forest.
This news can be described as a stone that stirs up a thousand waves!
Even if the legendary spear is not as powerful as the legend, for the kingdom of Acania, this spear is obviously of far-reaching significance!
So, with the efforts of the prime minister, in the end, the first-ranked Falcon mercenary group semi-forcibly accepted the task of going deep into the dragon forest to find the Arcanian spear!
Well, hearing this, Sui Yu was a little embarrassed to find out.
It seems that Xiya was calculated, and in the end, it seems that she is inseparable from Sui Yu.
Where did the treasures scattered in the dragon forest come from?
Isn't it the dragon who accidentally lost it when Sui Yu detonated the humanization magic in order to take refuge?!
I really didn't expect that fate was really wonderful enough.
went around and around, and in the end, the meeting between Sui Yu and Xiya was actually facilitated by himself!
It's a mess!
At the same time, Sui Yu finally understood why Xiya was reluctant to mention this.
The treasures scattered in the dragon forest, you don't have to think about it to know that they belong to the dragon.
And Sui Yu didn't dare to tell Xia that he had a human soul, so he didn't have the habit of collecting treasures like other dragons.
So, in the face of Sui Yu, the dragon, Xia naturally didn't dare to say their purpose, so as not to anger Sui Yu and be eaten by Sui Yu.
It's just that after more than a year of getting along, coupled with Sui Yu's fact that he has now become a human, Xiya subconsciously ignores Sui Yu's identity as a dragon, and he is just in a hurry to talk about it.
This mystery can be regarded as completely revealed!
Then Sui Yu suddenly asked with some curiosity: "What kind of divine spear does it look like?" ”
"It's the spear drawn on the flag of the Kingdom of Acania!"
Coincidentally, through the window of the stable, one could see in the distance a building that was supposed to be the city guard with the flag of the Kingdom of Acania on it.
And sure enough, a spear was drawn on it that made Sui Yu feel a little familiar.
Think about it......
Sui Yu finally remembered where he had seen that spear: "! Isn't this the toothpick that the high priest usually uses to pick his teeth?! ”
Yes, if Sui Yu is not mistaken, the spear drawn on the flag of the kingdom is definitely the toothpick that the high priest has used most in the last few hundred years!
"Toothpicks?!"
Everyone was stunned, and then Xiya's face changed at this time: "The mouth of that old dragon ...... Eh! At that time, I did think that the golden spear was a little familiar, but I didn't see it clearly! In retrospect, it should indeed be the Acanian Spear! ”
Speaking of which, Xiya perfected Sui Yu's character design with everyone just in case.
said that the reason why he was able to escape from the dragon forest in the first place was because Sui Yu had a good relationship with an old dragon.
"Just ......"
perfected Sui Yu's character design, and then Xia and Sui Yu looked at each other and said in unison: "That thing is not lost in the Dragon Forest?" Why are there sightings?! ”
Well, it's pretty much certain now that the sighting report should have been faked!
And the purpose is to kill Thea and his party!
Even, Sui Yu guessed that this was Xia being captured alive by the dragon Brook, if he hadn't been captured alive, even if he left the dragon forest, he might be ambushed outside - the prime minister clearly wanted to kill Xia Ya!
"When the news of the death came out shortly after the Captain and the others entered the Dragon Forest, I actually had some suspicions!" Neil pinched his chin, frowning like a detective at this time and said to everyone: "It's just that many clues were not found at that time, and random speculation will not only startle the snake, but at that time, I may be killed!" ”
"And now, the evidence collected has basically been determined, and the prime minister is behind it!"
"Especially combined with the fact that now that the Holy Lion Mercenary Group has become the first mercenary group, it is openly recruiting in the name of expanding mercenaries."
"Not only is the truth almost coming out to the world, but even if it's not good, the kingdom of Acania will soon change the sky!"
Hearing Neil say this, Paul was anxious: "So what are we going to do?" Shouldn't we find a way to get the news to the king?! Or I'll take a run! ”
"No way!" Sui Yu and Xiya shook their heads at the same time in denial.
Transmit?!
How?!
Even if it is passed on, will people believe it?!
Well, although Neil is indeed very powerful in being able to collect so much information, the reason why the other party has exposed so many flaws is actually because the other party has no fear!
Just like President Cyril of the Adrien Chamber of Commerce, he dared to promise Sui Yu openly that he would support Sui Yu to help the gods behind him preach, and he was not worried that Sui Yu would turn around and sell him after hearing this.
A lot of things are divided into who to say!
A poor man's tale cannot be heard!
People are really soft-spoken!
What if we grasp the facts and grasp the truth?
Who cares if someone with no identity says it?!
At the very least, with Sui Yu's previous identity, even if he stood on the street of the Acanian Kingdom and shouted that the Adrien Chamber of Commerce was a paper tiger, there was no imperial support behind him at all, he was pulling the skin of a tiger, and at the same time, the Adrien Chamber of Commerce intended to support the defeated gods to provoke a holy war.
It is estimated that not only will no one believe him, but the city guards in charge of public security may come to drive him away, and even accuse him of spreading rumors!
And Neil is obviously facing the same problem!
Not even Neil, even Xiya has become soft-spoken now.
People walk tea cool.
Missing for a year, who will remember Vernishia now?!
Even, in order to avoid trouble, even if they know her, I'm afraid they will pretend not to know her at this time!
What's more, the information Neil has gathered, although combined, can indeed point the culprit of everything at the prime minister.
But those things are not conclusive evidence!
"However, if we don't inform the king, once the prime minister is put on the throne, and now that Xiya is back, we still have these secrets!" Paul's panic is also obviously very justified: "Then when the time comes, will we not be dead?!" You can't sit still! ”
Indeed, now that it seems that Thea has accidentally been caught in the very center of the vortex.
It seems that no matter how you do it, it will be very troublesome!
But......
A lot of things are really divided into people to do!
Ordinary people do it, maybe it is nine deaths!
But......
"Then let me go and end this matter!" Sui Yu turned his head to look in a certain direction.
Through the layers of rooftops, you can vaguely see the castle that rises to a very majestic level.
Presumably, this is the royal palace of the king of this country, right?!
"Although it was much earlier than planned, the funds and manpower were not in place, and the preparation was not sufficient......" Sui Yu pinched his chin and muttered: "But it's almost time for an opening appearance!" ”
