"What I can be sure of now is that the whole serial murder case is related to the death of a princess in the Duchy of Touscent sixteen years ago, and I don't know the rest." Solam told Sokoya everything he knew, pinching out some sensitive things.
In fact, this kind of thing doesn't need to be said by Solam, and Sokaya can figure it out himself, so there is no need to hide it at all.
"And what about the murderer? You seem to have seen him, can you talk about him? Sokya pondered for a while, but couldn't figure out what was going on behind the scenes. So simply target the murderer, as long as the murderer is found, everything is not a problem.
How did he know that the murderer was behind him, and he couldn't figure out who was behind him.
"There's nothing to say, although I've seen him, but there is nothing useful at all, that person can change his appearance anytime and anywhere, and so far, he has changed three appearances, and these three appearances, from height, body type, and face are not similar at all. It was very difficult to find him."
Solam didn't really want to talk to Sokoya about Degra. In the face of a high-level legendary paladin, Solam must be careful, the paladin is originally an innate ability to distinguish between lies and truth, and this ability of high-level legends will only be stronger, and Soram only tells the truth, otherwise it will definitely arouse Sokoya's suspicions.
"Change your appearance at will? Is it a shapeshifter? Sokoya touched her chin and groaned.
"No, I'm sure of that. I've fought with him, and I can tell the difference. Besides, does a disguised monster dare to go to Hagia Sophia to kill people? Soram shook his head and pretended to be telling the truth......
Shapeshifters are strange creatures that can transform into whatever they have ever seen. In their true form, they look somewhat human-like, but are more slender and weaker, with elongated limbs and featureless faces. Pale skin and hairless. The swollen yellow eyes had long strips of pupils.
When they transform into another person, a layer of skin grows on their body and secretes something like jelly or silicone, which fills between the two layers of skin, thus taking on the size of the target person. Therefore, in the state of transformation, the body touch of the transformer monster is still different from that of ordinary humans, but it can distinguish different people, which is not too much.
Shapeshifters have a strong instinct and will smell human scents, hearing the sound of human hearts beating and blood circulation.
Metamorphic creatures are rarely found on the continent, not because they are small in number, but because they are often hidden in the crowd and are rarely discovered. And most of the shapeshifters aren't evil, they usually live their lives peacefully, rarely noticeable, and at most just do a little prank.
"Also, the shapeshifters don't have the guts yet." Sokoya leaned towards Solam's assertions, after all, Solam's strength was not enough to distinguish the difference between the touch of flesh and silicone, even if things like silicone were indeed very similar to the touch of flesh and blood.
"Is it a transfiguration spell?" Sokoya asked again.
“…… Uncle, I'm also a spellcaster, if it's really a transfiguration spell, I won't be able to tell the difference? "No matter how powerful the transformation spell is, once it fights with someone, it will inevitably expose the spell fluctuations, which can be distinguished by anyone with a little knowledge of spell casting.
"yes, I forgot about that. But don't blame me, look at your body, you really don't look like a spellcaster. Sokaya only reacted at this time, Solam is also a spellcaster, but Solam's temperament and body really don't match the three words caster, and few spellcasters will have a savage body like Solam.
Regarding Sokoya's explanation, Solam only pouted, but didn't say anything. After all, Solam is indeed not like a spellcaster, he rarely studies spells, and unlike most spellcasters, he only uses spells as weapons, and has no consciousness of being a spellcaster at all.
"And who do you think the murderer will be?" Sokoya felt that it was not too serious for an elder to tease a junior like this, so he immediately changed the topic.
"A fool, who else could he be?" This question must be avoided by Solam, or he may show his timidity at any time. So Soram gave an ambiguous answer.
"Oh, why do you say that?"
"Or else? Originally, he killed a few nobles in a small fight, and it was nothing, but now he actually killed people in the mad Taoist Cathedral and ran to the Hagia Sophia Cathedral to kill people, doesn't that make your Glorious Church mad? Isn't this a clear desire to die? It's not stupid, what is stupid? ”
Solam did doubt Digra's IQ, and for killing a few people, would it be necessary to make such a bloody hula and make a storm in the city? Especially that old bishop, even if Degra had a little brains and killed him elsewhere, he would not have gotten to this point.
"Huh." Hearing Solam's complaints, although Sokoya was smiling on his lips, he frowned a little at Solam's disregard for human life, which was too far from Soraka's expectations, and he hoped that Soram could become the same person as his parents. But now it seems that it must have been the right thing to do to send him back to Avalon in the first place.
But this kind of thing can't be rushed, take your time, anyway, Sokoya plans to keep Soram by her side and teach it well.
********************
For the next few days, the whole of Bowland suddenly came alive because the Knights Championship Contest was about to begin! At the same time, Digra was also very face-saving and did not make trouble, but made the people of Bowland relax a little.
As the start of the tournament drew closer, there were more and more knights in Bowland City, and everywhere you went, you could see the proud figure of a knight riding a horse and a sword.
Today is the day of the opening ceremony, and early in the morning, in the southern suburbs of Bockland, a huge platform has already been erected, and according to tradition, the opening ceremony of the competition must be presided over by the Grand Duke of Toussente.
Around the high platform, it is surrounded by bells and whistles. During the tournament, the knights live in tents. This has been the rule for many years, and it is said that Queen Elizabeth had an improvised idea when she returned from a triumphant victory at the first championship tournament.
Later, to commemorate the first tournament, the knights were required to live in marching tents as well.
At the same time, around the tents of these knights were the tents of the nobles of Bowland, which were much better than the tents of the knights, not only richly decorated, but also had a lot of space to enjoy.
Today, the knightly competition has become a rare outing and a giant party for those dignitaries. Especially today, there will be a lot of foreign aristocrats present, and the social atmosphere is even stronger.
So when Soram entered the venue, he found the atmosphere here very interesting. In the middle of the knight's marching tent, every knight was like a great enemy, and everyone was nervous to death, while on the periphery of them, the nobles were relatively relaxed, and everyone was idle, or wandering around the camp in groups, or talking to some noblewomen, or simply setting up long tables and grills, and starting a picnic.
On the outskirts of the city, the crowd did not pitch their tents, they simply wanted to watch the fierce competition between the knights, and at the same time relax themselves while the farm was idle. Therefore, there are many circuses and small stalls and vendors in the periphery, which are very lively, and it is like rushing to the market.
Because Solam came with Sokaya, he could directly enter the high platform, which was the best place to see the entire venue, and the dedicated service of the palace maids couldn't be too cool.
Sokoa's arrival was definitely a surprise for the entire Knights Championship Competition, so as early as three days before the start of the game, Yetana made a special trip to Lancester Manor to invite Sokoa, and Sokoya agreed without hypocrisy. At the same time, he also brought Isabella's sister and brother with him, which was a kind of feedback for their hospitality.
On the high platform, there are three rows of seats, the first row is naturally the Grand Duke, Sokaya and the envoys of various countries, the second row is the top magnates of Tousente, and the third row is some entourage with sufficient status, Solam and Isabella are here.
Because Sokoya brought the Isabella siblings to the surprise of the Towson side, they had to temporarily cancel the seats of the other two unlucky eggs and give up their seats to the Isabella siblings. This made the Isabella sister and brother suddenly become the object of envy and jealousy of many people, but they didn't expect this kind of down-and-out family to turn over.
The envious, jealous and hateful eyes around made the two sisters and brothers sit on pins and needles, fidgeting, and at a loss, while Soram sat lazily in his seat like no one else, ignoring the flattery and accosting of the people around him, and was arrogant.
However, no one will have an opinion on Solam, after all, no matter the background or strength, Soram has the qualifications to be arrogant.
At the beginning of the competition, it was Yatana who spoke first, and it was all official words anyway, and Soram didn't listen. After that, there is Sokoya, who is also decent, not new at all, anyway, Solam finds it boring.
But the people below were so excited that almost everyone wanted to show themselves in front of Sokoa, a knightly idol.
Then there was a long list of speeches, and everybody sitting in the first row would go up and say a few words anyway, and Soram would fall asleep, well, literally. By the time the last two foreign envoys went up to speak, Solam's snoring was already loud, much to the embarrassment of the two envoys. And Yetana couldn't wait to go up and slap Soram a few times, the high platform was still some distance away from those knights, otherwise, this knight championship would definitely become a laughing stock.
But even so, some of the knights standing at the front saw a white-haired guy on the high platform, actually sleeping soundly, not at all This sacred activity is a serious thing!
This made those knights feel deeply insulted!
