Chapter 283: The Guardians Are in Action
The tragedy that occurred in the White Court District instantly alarmed the entire royal city, especially the deceased Tim Hoyle and his two subordinates, who were also the sheriffs of the city, and after the fire was quickly extinguished by the three guardians who rushed in, the people of the Kartim City Guards also quickly rushed to the scene of the incident.
Many of them saw the line of blood written on the ground in front of the row, and panic soon and inevitably spread.
Due to the identity of the deceased's sheriff, coupled with the ruthless methods of the attacker, who did not even let go of a four-year-old child (Tim's youngest daughter just celebrated her fourth birthday a month ago), many people believe that the True God Cult is about to launch a general attack on Kaltim!
The frightened people began to do everything they could to try to keep themselves and their families safe, and the Kaltim City Guards were in a state of confusion when the sheriff was suddenly killed.
For a time, the whole of Kartim fell into a brief but very violent chaos, and during this sensitive period, every move of the True God Cult affected the hearts of countless Kegistan people.
However, Kaltim is also a royal city, where there are not only city defenders, but also guardians and the Kaltim Mage Federation.
Under the joint efforts of the four legendary powerhouses, this chaos was finally quickly quelled.
In the palace of Kaltim, Hakan II also took the opportunity to announce the order, and he quickly appointed a deputy commander from the palace guard, the Iron Wolf Guard, as the temporary Governor of Kaltim, and ordered him to immediately carry out another order he had previously issued: to carry out a self-examination within the city guards, in order to "strictly prevent the True God Cult from infiltrating the city guards and causing trouble."
At the same time, the tragedy that took place in the compound of the former Kaltim sheriff, Tim Hoyle, was directly characterized as an evil assassination by the Cultists, and Hakan II gave the task of investigating the matter directly to the new commander of the city defense army.
The incident seemed to have subsided, and in less than two days, the city of Kaltim was restored to the state it was in before the sheriff's assassination.
The nobles of the White Court seemed to have been given some secret instructions, and all of them stopped discussing the matter in public.
However, after this assassination, the previous suspicions of the three guardians of Kegistan were almost directly confirmed, and the "Red Count" Ferratu pointed the initiator behind the assassination directly to the king of Kegistan - Hakan II in a secret meeting of the three!
"It must have done it! You can't go wrong! Tim had just come to me during the day to explain his suspicions, only to be murdered by a cultist of the True God Cult in the evening?
And there are more than three officials in the city guard system, why are only the three people who came to see me during the day being slaughtered?! ”
Ferrato exclaimed excitedly in front of his two companions, since Tim's assassination, he had been blaming himself for why he hadn't left them behind, if he had been decisive and let all three of them take their families to the Hall of the Guardians for a while, they might all be alive by now!
"This is very suspicious indeed, I suspect that we may have been watched here, this so-called assassination was too coincidental, and not only did they kill people, but they also set fire to the house, apparently trying to destroy something."
Liu Na also nodded with a stern face, due to the brief chaos that broke out in Kartim City before, she was originally going to leave to invite Xue Hua to come and help but also failed to make the trip.
This time the time was delayed for another two days, even if she set off immediately now and was able to successfully invite Xue Hua, it would take at least eight or nine days to rush back between this back and forth.
But in their current form, they probably don't have that time anymore.
"The nobles have no way of getting any information, and it must have been Hakan II who gave them a gag order not to talk about it in public... Also, although we all know that the murderers set the fire to destroy the evidence, I have to say that their trick really worked, and all the information that Tim had collected before has now disappeared directly in that fire, so not only do we have no evidence now, but even the clues have been completely cut off. ”
Fitis said with a somewhat gloomy face.
At this moment, Ispen, who had been sitting on the side without speaking, suddenly coughed lightly and turned his head to look at the black-haired female assassin with a solemn face.
"Liu Na, you set off to find Xue Hua as soon as possible, according to the news we received before, he seems to have gone to Ensdinger now, so as soon as you arrive in Lugoin, send him a legendary communication to indicate our intentions, I believe he should be interested in the information we have."
Hearing his words, Liu Na couldn't help but be surprised, after working with this paladin for so many years, she had already figured out the other party's temper.
So she knew that when he began to speak in a commanding tone, it meant that he had already made up his mind.
"Do you want to go now? Will it be a little too late? And I'm going to sea now, which will also cause alarm on the palace side, right? ”
Faced with Liu Na's question, Ispen shook his head confidently: "It's okay, I have already secretly contacted the Ombudsman yesterday and told him our suspicions - of course, don't expect to get the Investigation Scroll and the Examination Scepter from him with the slightest suspicion that we have no evidence, but I still won the right to use the small station to teleport across continents for you." ”
"I see!" Liu Na jumped up from the chair at once: "It's much faster this way!" ”
"Don't panic, you still have to keep a low profile this time, you must not let others see you when you go out, and you must be extra careful when using the small station, no matter what, you can't let the people on the other side of the palace know your exact destination, otherwise they are likely to get in the way."
Ispen pressed Liu Na, who was about to leave, and whispered a few serious words to her.
"Don't worry, don't you know my skills? Just because those trash fish want to catch me, they are 1,800 years early! ”
Liu Na smiled lightly, and her body turned into a black mist that dissipated into the air.
"Wait for my good news!"
Her voice came from behind the empty seat, and then there was a very slight knock on the door of the chamber, and then there was no more sound.
After Liu Na left, Ispen looked at Ferratu again and said, "I know you are feeling very uncomfortable right now, but before Liu Na returns, you must restrain your emotions.
In the course of a few days, we will have to cooperate in our search for evidence in the shadows, and you will have to find a way to convince the president of the Mage Federation. ”
"Hmm......" Ferratu nodded first, and then a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "It's okay to restrain your emotions, it's okay to secretly look for evidence... But to convince that old antique... I'm afraid it's hard for me alone......"
"We have to try it, we must unite all the forces that can be united......"
"You know, we're at the enemy of the highest status in the country!"
