My heart slowly sank, and I whispered, "What did you say?" ”

His head slammed on the ground: "Your Excellency...... He has died. ”

"It can't be." I said, "Raise your head and tell me, what's going on?" What happened to Immorton? ”

His voice was low, but he spoke clearly.

"We returned to Minoa last month when we had three days to go, and we went to the temple to hand us over, and then we didn't come back that night. I think it was common for him to stay in the temple, but I didn't see him on the second or third day. I went to the temple to inquire, and they said that the adults did not stay at the temple. It wasn't until the fourth day that the adults returned, but his face was very bad, as if he hadn't eaten for the past few days, and he had no strength in his whole body. He didn't say where he went, and I didn't dare to ask. As we were packing up and preparing to return to Egypt, a medical officer who had been friends with him invited him to a banquet, and he did not want to go, but the man stayed in the house as if he had something to do, and I could not hear what was being said outside. Later, the adults were impatient with him, so they agreed to go to the banquet in the evening. Because the medical officer had treated the adult's injuries at the beginning and recommended him to the temple for shelter, the adult did not refuse, probably because of this reason. But the adults went and never came back. I went to the doctor's house, and he told me that the adult was seriously ill and would pass by, and that he could not go out and that he could not let me see him. He said that it would be best for adults to live in his home, so that it would be convenient for him to treat and care for adults and prepare herbs. I stood guard at the door of his house every day, praying every day that the gods would bless my lord. But after seven or eight days, he told me that the adults had passed away...... Passed away. He fell to the ground, his shoulders trembling, and he was silently choked and panting, but he didn't dare to cry.

"No way......," I shook my head, just thinking the whole thing sounded like a joke. Could it be that Immorton himself wants to joke with me to let the servant talk such nonsense?

"His physique is so good, and his medical skills are not bad, how can he get a sudden illness all of a sudden, and he can't afford to get sick......

"The villain said the same thing, but the doctor said that he didn't know where the adult contracted the disease, but now he suddenly had a seizure, and the illness came too quickly and harshly, and there was no medicine for the symptoms, so he ...... that's why the adult."

I fixed, "Have you seen him sick and dead with your own eyes?" I am alive to see men, and dead to see corpses. Since he didn't come back, ...... And what about his remains? ”

The villain never saw the adult, and although the villain begged the doctor to allow the villain to serve the adult, the doctor did not agree until the doctor told the villain that the adult was dead...... He said that the body had been buried by him......"

"That means you didn't see anything from beginning to end?"

The man was stunned for a moment and understood what I meant: "Your Majesty means to say...... However, the medical officer had a good relationship with Lord Immorton, and the villain followed the adults, and had seen them come and stay often, and often exchanged news......"

"What's the doctor's name?"

"It's called."

I nodded, and called the maid to order, "Call Julian." ”

The servant knelt on the spot, his face gray, his eyes and snot, and dirty.

"Wipe your face, don't kneel." I said to the slave girl, "Bring me some food and drink." ”

As I sat there, it sounded dramatic, and it sounded very strange, and there were so many doubts. Immorton is a person whose vitality is stronger than a weed, and he was stabbed by me and exiled without dying, how could he suddenly have a sudden illness and die of illness?

The Medic...... There must be a problem.

But what's the problem? What is the reason?

And most importantly, where is Immorton now? Is he safe?

Julian came, and he didn't have any character in his appearance, just the kind of person you have met three or five times without being impressed, and you can't remember the name even if you hear it. Such people are more suitable for doing some ...... Other aspects of work.

"I asked you to ask, how much do you know about the dignitaries over there in Minoa?"

"I don't know which one His Majesty Aisy wants?" He said humbly.

"Do you have any impression of a medical officer named Tuit?"

He nodded, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Yes, the villain's spies have investigated this person." He was the healer who was responsible for treating and caring for King Minoa, and was considered one of the few healers and priests in Minoa. This man must be forty years old this year, and he is very old and prudent, and has a wife and three or four concubines, and a daughter, but no son. Both the King and the Queen Mother of Minoa relied on him. ”

It sounds like this person, although he is proficient in medicine, he should not be Innocent's opponent, and he can't be calculated.

"Is there anything else?"

Julian bowed down and said, "This man is not an important person, he is neither rich nor expensive, and he does not have much authority in his hands, so he has not been examined in detail in the past." Since His Majesty has commanded me to keep an eye on him, I will surely be able to dig up more things. ”

"Okay," I nodded.

This servant of Immorton is a slave he bought, and there is no problem with loyalty, and his arm strength is not small, and he can do work and run errands, that is...... The mind is not alert enough. The fact that he could remember to return to Egypt to report to me was already a rare and clever thing he had done. I asked him again and again what Immorton had said and done before he disappeared, and he could only describe it in a dull and simple way, and he couldn't tell him the details. When I made sure that he was telling the truth, and that there was nothing left in his stomach, I had him take him down to rest.

My information is still not detailed enough...... The main reason is that the espionage work in this era is very simple, personnel management, available tools, and information transmission, all of which are primitive and simple, and no matter how you have the means, the quality of this intelligence still cannot be improved, and the timeliness is extremely poor.

The servant was out of breath, but I was sure that Immorton would be fine.

He is so clever and resolute, excellent in swordsmanship, and very scheming in the city, how could he capsize in the gutter and be killed?

However, he must have encountered some kind of difficulty, so he couldn't return to Egypt in time, right?

I lifted up and held the mouth of my restless heart.

When I was in distress, Immorton rushed to Bitado to save me. But now that his whereabouts are unknown and his situation is in danger, I am ......

But I could only send a small number of men to investigate the situation, and I didn't even know if I could help him.

I leaned against the window frame, and the date palm trees in the courtyard quietly cast a shaded shadow, and the water lilies in the pool showed their white buds, probably an illusion of light, and the petals looked a little light blue.

I felt as if I had become two, one anxious, desperately trying to think of all the possibilities, trying to find more suspicious and key points in those simple clues, and the other staring blankly at the scene in the palace courtyard, dull and stunned.

Immorton, where the hell is it? Is he safe now?

I sat there and pondered over what the servant had said.

Immorton went to the temple, and a simple handover should be over in half a day. The temple said that he had left the temple before evening, but his servants did not return until the third day. When I questioned him carefully, he said that Immorton came back with a lot of dirt on his clothes, and that he had always been very tidy, and that if he could, he would not go to a very bad and dirty place, and even if he got dirty, he would never wear them all the time if he could change them. The servant could not say anything more, except that he had gathered the garment, and found that the hem was still faintly wet, probably having walked in shallow water. There was damp dirt on the placket of the garment, and a moss-rubbed turquoise......

Where did he go? Wet, low-lying, less walkable places with moss?

I can't think of it. Besides, why did the medical officer invite Immorton to the banquet? What kind of banquet is it? In addition to Immorton, who else was invited? And for what purpose did those people go to the banquet? The servant didn't know anything about it, and I couldn't get any more clues from him. All he could say was that Immorton refused at first, and then reluctantly agreed because of the doctor's repeated pestering. And at that time they were already packing their bags, planning to leave Minoa by ship the next day. When going to a banquet at such a time, Immorton must just want to deal with it, and he will not get drunk and make a mistake.

So where exactly is he? The healer ...... again

I haven't been to Minoa and don't know much about the country......

I suddenly stood up straight! How could I forget! I'm not familiar with it, but one might know a lot about Minoa!

"Tasha? Tasha, bring Carol! ”
