Chapter 1682: Secret Letter
On the way back, the phoenix was still dissatisfied with the power of the Qigong Bomb, and muttered beside me.
I can't help but be ashamed, one charged qigong bomb can seriously injure a monster of the level of a sand python, and two can beat it to the point that it doesn't even have the courage to die and struggle, are you still not satisfied?
Do you have to kill the god of creation with a qigong bomb?
But after thinking about it, it's no wonder that the power of the Qigong bomb is increasing day by day, as the so-called modesty makes people progress, the phoenix has never been satisfied from the beginning, can you not rack your brains to improve its power.
When she got home, before she could sit down on her ass, Princess Anarita, who was lying on the sofa and doing nothing, handed over two secret letters.
The unsigned letter was opened, and there were only two sentences written on it: 'Scott left Eri City and infiltrated the surrounding forest, accompanied by twenty-four elite adventurers of the Golden Flame Guild' and 'The underground laboratory was destroyed'.
In the lower right corner of the letter, a regularly shaped mark is drawn, which is Shan Yong's sending code.
Underground labs destroyed?
There are only two possibilities, first, Scott's plan is discovered, the underground laboratory is devastated, and in desperation, he can only sneak into the surrounding forest with his henchmen and continue to plot the plan.
But there is a loophole in this statement, if Scott's laboratory was deliberately destroyed, then the experimental materials and experimental data in it must also fall into the hands of the person who destroyed the laboratory.
There will only be three people who have enough ability to destroy the laboratory, one is Carter Horton, the current lord of Eri City, the real ruler of Eri City, the second is the eldest young master of the Carter family, the eldest son of the Carter family, who is known for its brutality, and the third is the great nobles of Eri City.
The contradiction between the royal family and the nobility in the Zephyr Continent has always existed, but because the royal family is too powerful and the name of the descendants of the legendary heroes is used as a shelter, it is difficult to subvert the regime.
Although it cannot be subverted, for thousands of years, the great nobles have been trying in every possible way to empty the status of the royal family and try every means to shape the royal family into a puppet regime.
But is the royal family a puppet at the mercy of others?
In various unknown ways and means, the authority of the major nobles was restricted, and even the titles of the nobles were secretly sold, constantly dividing the fiefs of the great nobles, so that any of the big nobles was no longer able to compete with the royal family.
The big nobles are not stupid, although the influence of individuals cannot shake the royal family, they choose to unite and contend with each other, and tie several, or even dozens or even hundreds of big nobles, together by marriage, alliance, etc.
This formed another powerful body in Arishi, an alliance of nobles capable of competing with the lords.
It is said that it can be confronted, but in fact it is only in certain aspects, such as politics, such as the economy, and such as the national capital.
If Scott's experiment was to create a disgusting, corpse-pieced monster, it would have been to the extent that it might shake the nation's foundation, and it had been found that it would be destroyed and expelled.
But in this way, there is something that doesn't make sense.
If you have discovered an act that shakes the foundation of the country, why not make it public?
As long as it is made public, it will shake the position of the Carter family in Ari City to a certain extent, and the nobles can take advantage of the situation and invade the core institutions of Eri City under the pretext of stabilizing the country's foundation, and gain greater power in one fell swoop.
But Shan Yong's letter did not explain this, only that the laboratory was destroyed, so the real participants in the destruction of the laboratory are probably not aristocratic people.
In this way, it can only be Carter Horton and the eldest young master of the Carter family.
However, with the temper of the eldest young master of the Carter family, it is very likely that after discovering the laboratory, he will send many strong people from the Adventurers' Guild to surround the laboratory, and after determining the impact that the experimental results may have on the Carter family, he will cut Scott's body and show it to Carter Houghton.
After all, in front of the corpse, what the eldest young master says is what he says, even if he fabricates right and wrong out of thin air, it is impossible for the corpse to jump up and reason with him.
Since Scott left Eri City alive, it means that the person who destroyed the lab was not the young master of Eri City.
It's not a nobleman, it's not a young master, it's only Carter Horton.
I had contact with this man once, and he was not in a hurry or angry, and he was quite deep in the city.
But the more such a man, the more patient he will be, and the more calm he will be.
So, would he really do such a thing as destroying the lab?
And after that contact with him, I can also be sure of another thing, that is, he is extremely tolerant of his own children, and he is so tolerant that even if he finds out that Scott is doing something contrary to the country's roots, he will not be easily expelled from the country.
If you think about it this way, Carter Horton is also very unlikely.
The first possibility will be put on hold for the time being.
As for the second possibility, Carter Scott destroyed the laboratory himself, and left Eri City with experimental data, experimental materials, and twenty-four elite adventurers to infiltrate the surrounding forest.
This possibility is more true than in the previous case.
This also speaks of Carter Scott's previous attempts to lead a crowd into the surrounding forests - he was looking for a place where he could conduct experiments.
The conjecture that the lab was destroyed is fixed here for the time being, but there is another content on MeSign that intrigues me.
Twenty-four elite adventurers of the Golden Flame Guild.
What a luxurious lineup.
What does it mean that Carter Scott was able to find these people to protect himself?
Is it Carter Houghton's connivance?
Is it the secret assistance of the eldest young master of the Carter family?
Or are these people the hole cards that Carter Scott sent to the Golden Flame Guild from the beginning?
If it was Carter Horton's connivance, why did he watch Scott destroy the lab and leave Ari City?
Could it be that he had sensed that someone was going to be unfavorable to Scott and chose to protect his second son in this way?
Or does he have other plans?
Moreover, although the current honorary controller of the Golden Flame Guild is the eldest young master of the Carter family, with his strength, would he not know that the Golden Flame Guild suddenly lost twenty-four elite adventurers?
If you know, why didn't you come out to stop it?
Did he think that Scott's trip would be more effective in consolidating his position in Ari City?
Or is he actually secretly involved, and among these twenty-four people, there are actually his own people?
I have the impression that Carter Scott is a man of conspiracy and obscurity.
Woo some small and medium-sized adventurer guilds, enter the ancestral tomb of the Carter family, awaken Achilles, support Achilles to eliminate foreign races, and shape Achilles into a hero of the human race and an enemy of foreign races.
After using Achilles again, he didn't bother with him anymore, and even when Achilles left Eri City and was connected to Moonlight City by me, he didn't do anything about it.
I deeply doubt that Achilles was injured when he planned to discard this useless 'waste'.
