Due to the short time of contact, Ann Yizhi couldn't tell whether Kara's younger brother Charles was a genius or too precocious, but judging from the combination of being able to use eavesdropping spells and obscuring aura at his age, at least the talent for spell casting was undoubted, and some graduates of the Academy of Magic did not have this ability.

And this child has a fairly accurate goal plan for his future.

Duke of Westford, one of the four dukes, is a real power faction, and the entire empire except for the emperor belongs to these four dukes with a high status, and if there are two hearts, it is possible to even run out and set himself up as a king.

Few people are unmoved by such a status, but Charles doesn't seem to be interested in it.

The title is indeed attractive, but the title is only the title of the empire, and who cares about you and one of the four pillars of the empire without the empire, I don't know you.

You know, this is a multiverse world with countless planes......

So in Charles's eyes, his brothers and sisters are too narrow-minded, and the status of a duke is indeed attractive, but it is not the ultimate goal of being an heir.

By the time they were all focused on who would succeed the next Duke of Westford, Charles had already focused his attention on the expansive, never-ending multiverse.

He studied magic and even wanted to apprentice when he met, all in preparation for this, because the safest and most reliable way to move the plane was the interdimensional teleportation technique in magic and the highest-end void travel.

It is really commendable to have a clear understanding and plan for his future at such a young age, An Yizhi was still pulling Lin Linglin to play game consoles all day long when he was eight years old, basically no different from ordinary bear children.

Then again, why are they all more like Long Aotian than me? I'm the main character of this book......

- It's hard to tell.

In any case, Charles's appearance was just a small episode, and Ann's immediate priority was to continue to catch the serial murderer, who, in Charles's own words, was mainly here to watch the parade of floats and mock his stupid sister by the way.

And the taunt effect ...... It's also pretty good.

After Charles left, Kara went crazy, dismantling her carriage with her bare hands, and finally found a magic pattern on the wooden board under the seat cushion that shouldn't exist, and picked up the greatsword and slashed it to pieces.

Maybe there is also a bit of a release in the mood, after all, she is only one step away from the ghost gate pass, if it weren't for An Yizhi's quick return, this girl has already begun to taste the saltiness of Meng Po soup by now......

However, Charles also agreed with Kara's evaluation, and he waited for Kara to vent well before complaining:

"Have you ever wondered if you would have to walk to Jeremiah's house without the carriage?"

“……”

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Sitting in the demolished and sparse carriage parade through the streets, not to mention whether others can stand it or not, Kara herself can't accept it, after all, the nobles are a group of people who want to save face and suffer crimes.

But walk to the ......

It's a bit far away.

But fortunately, the productivity level in this dungeon world is not low, and you can find a personal power tricycle by looking around, otherwise you can measure it step by step with your legs, and it is estimated that there will be no image at all when you wait until the place.

After instructing the guards on some specific matters, Ann and Kara took a rickshaw to Duke Winifred's mansion.

When the time was approaching, Kara didn't have any thoughts of eating, mainly because she was frightened by the tragic situation at the scene of the previous crime, as long as she remembered it, she suddenly lost her appetite, and it was estimated that she might have nightmares that night.

An Yizhi didn't need to eat as a player, just just a pure addiction, hung a buff for himself that increased his physical recovery speed, and bought a food that looked like a hot dog from the street by the way, and maliciously asked the store to put more ketchup......

The four major dukes all have mansions in the imperial capital, but the location is not near the center of the imperial city, or even very far away.

Judging from the map, the mansions of the four dukes occupy a corner of the edge of the imperial capital, and this arrangement is on behalf of the four dukes to guard one side for the emperor, as for whether it is to reassure the emperor and other dukes, it is unknown.

The Duke of Winifred's palace was not close to the scene of the crime, and the rickshaw driver rode almost desperately in front of the gold coins thrown by Kara, and finally arrived at the place in the shortest time.

Although she is not very favored, Carla is at least the daughter of the Duke's family, and there are still many people in the circle who know her, but she will not be turned away.

The reception of the two was a middle-aged housekeeper who was in high spirits, saying that the young master was reading in the study, and took them to the reception room to wait for a while, and by the way, on the way, An Yizhi also took a look at the scenery of the Duke's Palace.

Whether it is real or another world, the way the powerful and rich show that they are awesome has something in common, such as a big house.

The Duke's Palace was no exception, the butler took them to turn left and right in the house, and when passing by the corridor, An Yi even saw a separate artificial lake outside.

It is somewhat exaggerated to say that it is an artificial lake, but the area is definitely not comparable to the pond, and there is a delicate pavilion by the lake......

Jinnima will enjoy it!

Therefore, the feudal dynasty is arrogant and lascivious, but when you think about it, isn't the so-called democratic modern world the same, but it is just a different name......

When he came to the reception room, it was almost a matter of time before and after, and he was about to ask the maid to bring tea and pastries, but the key Jeremiah still did not appear.

An Yizhi was not in a hurry, anyway, the guards had already stabbed this matter to the emperor's side, and it was estimated that even without Jeremia's manpower support, the emperor's side would definitely send someone to find a way, and he wouldn't have to worry about it.

Kara was in a hurry, after all, she wanted merit to catch the serial murderer, and if the emperor directly sent someone to deal with it, she would not have her share of merit.

So after every few minutes of entering the reception room, Kara asked the butler why Jeremiah hadn't come yet.

"The young master may be too attentive, he has often locked himself in his study lately, please rest assured Miss Carla, I have sent someone to inform you."

This sentence obviously did not reassure Kara, and after sitting for less than two minutes, Kara offered to go directly to the study to find Jeremiah.

As the saying goes, the guest is as he pleases, and this kind of request is somewhat rude.

However, firstly, Kara's identity is special, and secondly, he is Jeremiah's classmate, and the housekeeper pondered that maybe the two had a good relationship at school, so he did not refuse.

An Yizhi still wants to wait, the cookies sent are delicious, but he is now Kara's bodyguard, so let's follow.

"Jeremiah probably feels the same pressure as I do."

On the way, Kara pointed to Ann and said as she walked:

"As the heir to the Duke, his every move is more watched than mine."

That's why you locked yourself in the study just to read more books and learn new things?

"Is he in a miserable situation too?"

"He's not like me."

Carla shook her head and said:

"Duke Winifred is very easy-going, and he doesn't have high requirements for his children, and he is just one of Jeremiah's sons, so he doesn't have to worry about inheritance at all, mainly because he feels that he is capable of taking over."

The current Duke of Winniefred was originally the third in the family, and when he was young, he felt that he would definitely not have the opportunity to inherit the title, so he packed his bags and ran away from home before his father and his relatives took him out, and announced that he was going to study abroad.

But when he came back from more than ten years of sightseeing, he learned that his eldest brother and second brother had died in the war against the Federation, and the old duke was also dying, so he took over the title in such a daze.

Although the process is a coincidence, the current Duke of Winifred is doing well, and the speed of people's growth under the pressure of reality must not be underestimated, perhaps Jeremiah has inherited the characteristics of his own Laozi, even if others don't say anything, he will not lower his requirements.

Speaking of which, it's still too thin-skinned......

If it is replaced by An Yizhi, it is estimated that the four pillars of the empire will become the three pillars, and An Yizhi will definitely become a typical gentleman, bullying men and women is a necessary project.

Of course, the premise is Lin Linglin's permission, otherwise he will be beaten up when he goes home.

With all this mess in their heads, the butler led them through the hallway, and just one more turn was the study.

However, Ann Yizhi smelled something different, and he whispered to Kara:

"I smell blood up ahead."

An Yizhi, who often fights, is very sensitive to this aspect.

Kara was stunned when she heard this:

"Is there a mistake, how can there be a smell of blood in the Duke's Palace?"

As they spoke, they had already turned the corner of the corridor, and just in time to see a maid lying on the ground in front of the double doors of the study, a large amount of blood stains made the carpet under them even more scarlet, and the throat should have been fatally wounded by a knife.

"Betty! This ......"

The housekeeper exclaimed, then reacted and hurriedly rushed to the door of the study and knocked on the door:

"Young Master! Master! ”

The door is locked, and it is impossible for the housekeeper to knock it open.

An Yizhi took two quick steps, and he heard a subtle metal crash behind the door, as if someone was fighting inside.

"Get out of the way!"

He drove away the butler and lifted his staff:

"Spell Penetration: Stand the Battering Hammer!"

The hammer-shaped stance slammed directly against the well-made mahogany gate, causing the latter to scream and deform, and in the crisp sound of the bolt breaking, the door was slammed open by Ann's finger.

Only then did everyone see that a guy dressed as a waiter was holding a cross-shaped dagger to fight the golden retriever young master they had seen in the last dungeon, and the latter was obviously unable to support it.

The moment the door was blasted open, the strangely shaped dagger pierced the latter's lower abdomen, and seeing An Yi's finger violently blast open the door, the assassin drew his knife without hesitation and left, directly smashing the floor-to-ceiling window on the other side of the study.
