Chapter 281: The Guardians' Speculation
After thinking about it for a long time, but he could not think of any way to bypass Hakan II's status as king to investigate him, so he had to let the three sheriffs go back first, and wait until he had consulted with his two colleagues before making a decision.
What Ferrato didn't expect, however, was that the next meeting between him and Sheriff Calitim would take place under that circumstances......
Later in the day, two other Guardians of Kegistan also returned from outside.
No sooner had they entered the Hall of the Guardians than they were pulled directly into a secret room where they were discussing secret matters.
"What is it that is so anxious that you don't even let people drink a sip of water?"
A short-haired female assassin in dark yellow leather armor frowned slightly, and looked at Ferratu suspiciously, along with another middle-aged male paladin in silver-white metal armor beside her.
The two of them were the other two Guardians of Kaijistan, one of whom was a female assassin named Liu Na, a rare Xiansai on the mainland, and even rarer, she was not only a Xiansai, but also not a mage......
"Who said that the immortals had to be mages? It's as if we are only mages......" This is a phrase that Liu Na often puts on her lips, and she seems to have become accustomed to other people being surprised by her identity.
The other paladin is a native of Kaijistan, named Isben Anka, his family was once a famous family in the Kingdom of Kejistan, but because of the bad descendants, it finally slowly declined, and when it came to his generation, the clan did not even inherit the title of nobility, and the name of the Anka family has long been completely turned into the wind and sand in the desert.
"It's really urgent, and it's a big deal!" Ferrato seated the two companions, and then recounted the scene of the day to them with a very serious face.
After hearing his words, Liu Na and Isbon's first reaction was that the sheriff of Kaltim was crazy......
"I heard you right?! The sheriff of Keltim accused the king of Kegistan, the top boss of his immediate boss... Is it a demon in disguise? ”
Liu Na looked at Ferratu with wide eyes: "Don't tell me that you believe their nonsense?" ”
"Hehe......" Liu Na's reaction made Ferratu smile bitterly: "My reaction at the beginning was exactly the same as yours, and I almost thought that guy was the True God Cultist pretending to be a cultist......"
"But if you think about their words, those suspicions don't seem unfounded... And the attitude of the parliament before, and the attitude of that and Mr. Kane towards Kegistan... Don't you think there's something wrong with that? ”
Ferrato is a mage by profession, and the rationality of his profession allows him to quickly calm down from the initial emotional turmoil, and immediately analyze the problem calmly.
This is also the biggest reason why Tim and the others were not thrown out as a gossip.
Liu Na also slowly calmed down under Ferratu's reminder, although she didn't like others to think of her hometown Xiansai as a mage at first time, but she never denied that she had the blood of a thinker like the archmages of Xiansai flowing in her body.
Therefore, she preferred to consult her companions on a matter that might indeed be suspicious rather than jump to conclusions, so she neither believed or completely rejected what Ferratu had said, but turned her head to look at the paladin, who had been silent.
"What do you think, Isbon?"
“... If it is Beria, the king of lies, it does have the ability to do it without leaking......"
Paladin Isben has always been a reticent man, he doesn't like to talk too much, but every time he speaks, he brings his companions a different perspective on things.
"The King of Lies......" Hearing Isbon's words, Liu Na and Ferratu were stunned.
Indeed, as Isbon said, among the Seven Demon Lords of Hell, the demon king who is best at manipulating intrigues and tricks is the king of lies, and it is said that this guy never likes to fight the enemy head-on, but likes to hide in the shadows, weaving a huge web of lies and illusions, so that the enemy will gradually weaken in internal friction and doubt, and finally kill himself.
And judging from the overall situation in Kegistan at present, they have to admit that everything from the beginning to the present is like a huge conspiracy constructed by countless lies and illusions.
In the Second World, the army of the Lord of Lies rarely appears on the front of the battlefield, and many people even believe that the Demon King does not care too much about the situation in the Second World.
Therefore, even the veterans of the battlefield who have participated in countless battles against the demon have very limited knowledge of this demon king.
But because of this, all this deserves their greater vigilance.
"So what are we going to do now, do we need to escalate this matter to the council?"
Liu Na felt a deep chill in her heart, if Kaijistan, no, it should be said that a series of recent events in the First World are related to the King of Lies, if Hakan II has really been replaced by the Hell Demon Lord, then it is really difficult for her to imagine what kind of abyss the entire Kaigistan Kingdom will eventually fall into in this huge lie trap.
"No, not yet, because we lack evidence." Ferratu shook his head, a look of helplessness on his face.
If all this is true, then the demon king's disguise is so successful that they can't even touch him in the light now.
"yes, there's a lack of evidence... And there is a huge flaw in this inference we have now......"
Liu Na nodded, and the expression on her face became more solemn.
"Yes... That assassination ......," Ferrato sighed and shook his head.
In any case, in the absence of absolutely strong evidence, they could not explain why Beria, pretending to be Hakan II, arranged for his subordinates to carry out such a dangerous assassination of him.
At that time, all three of them had seen his injuries, and it was definitely a real assassination without the slightest hand.
If it's a show... Then this play is too deep.
Isn't it afraid that if it doesn't make a good deal, it will really kill its disguised identity?
Just when Liu Na and Ferratu were at a loss as to how to explain this matter, Ispen, who was on the side, suddenly said something that shocked the two of them.
"Unless that assassination was not the ...... it ordered"
"What? Didn't it dictate? You mean that someone really intended to assassinate it? ”
"It's possible, because there was still someone who had been trying to tell the council that Hakan II wasn't really human anymore!
And the cause of that assassination was also because of that person in the first place! ”
Ispen nodded solemnly, a glimmer in his brown eyes.
"You mean... Which one? Liu Na looked at him in shock, she felt that her brain was starting to run out of a little.
"That's right, it's the one who has now been promoted to the Transcendent."
"Xue Hua!"
