Chapter 831: Phoenix's Conjecture
"Elder Lindsay?" Lirea frowned and said, "Did she have a holiday with you?" Why did you send an assassination team to attack you? ”
I shook my head, "I don't think so, but I'm not sure she sent the assassin to kill me." ”
"Why can't you be sure?" Lirea wondered, "Do you think there will be anyone else who can also send an assassination team on a mission?" This is impossible, the assassination squad only obeys the highest instructions, and the others have no right to transfer at all. ”
"I remember you said earlier that assassination team missions are all carried out by an intermediary, right?"
She nodded.
"Since you said that it was conveyed by an intermediary, is it possible that someone is pretending to be an intermediary to convey false information about killing me?"
"You mean that the Assassins who were tasked with killing you may have been deceived by a pretender sent by someone who has an enmity against you?" Lirea's expression was serious, and she directly denied my conjecture: "Impossible, after all, the assassination team performs some unsightly tasks, and each link must be carried out extremely strictly, and each team has its own secret code, which is directly issued by the Supreme Commander, and it is impossible to leak it, unless the Supreme Commander personally leaks the password, otherwise, there is no such thing as leaking secrets." ”
"Okay, I see, it seems that the pretender is impossible, but what you just said just said is the second conjecture I want to express" I looked serious and said, "The person who wants to kill me is most likely not Elder Lindsay, but the person behind Elder Lindsay." ”
"The man behind Elder Lindsay?" Lirea wondered, "You mean...... Her Majesty? ”
"Xiao Yi is going to talk about the one called Aka...... Acre ...... "The phoenix scratched her head, unable to remember what the name was.
"Akahavi," Cagalli reminded.
"Yes, that's the Akahavi," Phoenix pouted.
I thought for a while, nodded to myself, and said, "Well, there is indeed this possibility, I remember that the letter I snatched earlier mentioned that once I interfered with their plans, I would try to get rid of me, that is, I interfered with their plans, but I can't figure it out, where do I interfere with their plans?" And what will their plans be? ”
Girls, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shake their heads to indicate that they don't know.
It's normal for them not to know, because even I don't know what is interfering with their plans.
"Will it be ......?"
When I saw Barbara's expression, I asked, "Do you have anything in mind?" ”
Barbara nodded.
"Can you tell me?" I asked again.
"Hmm," she replied, "I guess it has something to do with puppet crafting?" ”
A word to wake up the dreamer!
I still wonder why I suddenly launched an assassination operation against me, and think about it, the only change during this time is that the goblin assistance team came here to teach puppet making!
The only thing I've ever done is to delegate Barbara as a watcher and send six of my men to join the Elven Study Group.
In other words, it was because of my actions that I angered a certain force hiding in the shadows, and they decided to eradicate me.
However, I wondered if it was because I had angered them by sending Barbara to supervise the study, or if I was hated because I had joined my own people in the middle of the process.
These two points have always been around my heart, confusing my thinking, and the more I think about it, the more I don't understand the reason for this.
"Is it possible that you sent Barbara as an overseer, causing some of their small actions to be unable to perform?" Cagalli guessed.
"Well, maybe that's a possibility," I said.
"Could it be because my people joined the study group?" Lirea was worried.
"I've thought of this too," I nodded, "It can also be regarded as a possibility." ”
"Is it possible, because Xiao Yi is the most senior leader of the goblin assistance team, and it is impossible to interfere with their plot to kidnap and detain the goblins?" Yura had the audacity to say such a guess.
"Kidnapping and detaining goblins?" I shook my head and said, "Impossible, unless he wants Moonlight City and Castle Vechich to start a war." ”
"Could it be because of Godfather?" The phoenix tilted his little head and said.
"Huh?" All of a sudden, our eyes focused on her face, and the phoenix's face turned red all of a sudden, and then a flutter, buried her face in my arms, and twisted: "Why are you looking at me, I'm embarrassed." ”
I stretched out my hand to hold up her little face, and said seriously: "Because the question you raised is very innovative and reasonable, tell me what you think." ”
"Hmm~~~" The phoenix was coquettish for a while, then blushed, sat back on the bed, and said, "I was just wondering, could the assassination of Xiao Yi this time be deliberately done by the person behind it?" ”
"You mean it?" Lirea didn't understand.
"Well, it's deliberate" Phoenix said: "He assassinated Xiao Yi first, once he succeeded, it would make the relationship between Moonlight City and Castle Vechich bad, and the relationship between the two countries deteriorated, so he could detain the goblin assistance team who was teaching elf courses as hostages, and at the same time, threaten the goblins to teach their knowledge to the elves by various means, so as to increase the military strength of Moonlight City to a very strong level, and then use their own advantages and learned mechanical technology to start a war against Castle Villach!" ”
When he said this, the phoenix's small fist was raised high, as if shouting a slogan.
The room fell silent for a moment, and everyone stared blankly at her.
After a while, I came to my senses, coughed dryly, and said, "Well, you're very good, but I'm more interested in, where did you learn these words?" ”
Phoenix smiled and said, "Eh, hey, these are all things I learned from the books in the palace study." ”
"Oh, what a clever child," I complimented her.
"It's okay, it's still a little bit worse than me, huh!" Barbara snorted unyieldingly, a pair of cat ears turning back and forth.
"I can't see it, your understanding is very high" Cagalli patted her head and said, "This time the analysis, I lost to you." ”
Lirea's eyes flickered, and she smiled silently, but her eyes were still fixed on the daggers and crossbows piled on the ground, and her expression was still distracted.
Jura leaned against the wall, clasped her hands in her arms, thought for a while, and said, "Well, this conjecture is very convincing, maybe the truth is like this, brother, what are you going to do next?" ”
Reaching out to catch Remy who fell into my arms, gently rubbing her hair, I said: "It's time to eat, it's time to drink, it's time to play, it's time to have fun, it's time to farm monsters, it's time to learn, it's all business as usual." ”
