Human beings are surprisingly strong, but sometimes surprisingly vulnerable.

A knife in the abdomen may be a little skin trauma, but if you are stabbed in the liver and kidney, it is no joke, not to mention that the assassin is using a cross-shaped blade, a dagger that looks like an oversized screwdriver, with blood grooves and serrations on it that will further expand and complicate the wound.

In reality, if the rescue is timely, this person should be lying in the intensive care unit now, and whether he can be rescued depends on luck. If the rescue is not timely......

- Already on the way to the crematorium.

But the wizarding world is so unscientific, when Ann chased the assassin, the butler had already taken the healing scroll to Jeremiah to do a big health care, and within a few minutes, a more professional therapist arrived, and now Jeremiah has regained consciousness, even if he walks two steps on the ground now, there is no problem, but because of excessive blood loss, he needs to recuperate for a period of time to recover and recover.

Carla was also in the room now, partly out of polite concern, but also hoping to get the support of the Winifred family's private soldiers.

However, An Yizhi waited outside the room, after all, he was still Kara's bodyguard, and he didn't have such a high status to go in.

It doesn't matter, An Yizhi just took this opportunity to figure out what was going on.

There's not much to say about the serial murder case on side quests, the suspect has been blocked in the sewers, and if the guards don't talk nonsense, it's only a matter of time before they catch him.

And when Jeremiah was attacked by the Assassins, the ingredients were even more complicated.

As the only son of Duke Winifred, one of the four pillars of the empire, there must be countless people who want him to die, politicians of enemy countries, nobles of their own country, and even their own cousins, after all, as long as he dies, the inheritance of the title will only be on the cousin's side.

It's really not easy to find the messenger directly, but An Yizhi estimates that the other party must be a guy with considerable power, after all, ordinary people and even ordinary small and medium-sized nobles can't afford to raise such a thing as a dead soldier.

Obviously, the other party wants to blame Jeremiah's death in the name of a serial killer, whether it is to protect himself or to use the topic to play, An Yizhi always feels that this matter is not so simple.

It's better not to get involved in the game between nobles, intrigue and intrigue are simply commonplace, it should be said that it is already very rare for a girl like Carla to not become that virtuous, and rashly mixing things will become very ink.

Mainly because this is not An Yizhi's home field, he wants no one here, he has no power, although the combat effectiveness is high, but he can't be too presumptuous, after all, the empire must have its own strong people if it can live for so long, otherwise it would have been flattened a long time ago.

The power of the Three Towers Alliance has not been able to expand into this dungeon world, and the only one who has a slight connection is Saviara, but this is the imperial capital.

If it is changed to Endimion in the magic city, An Yizhi has now led the magic crusaders to raid his home, how can he be so troublesome.

It's no wonder that the jewel psychedelic Clark finally instructed An Yizhi that the emperor has not been very peaceful recently, and it is better not to mix with it, at first An Yizhi thought that he was referring to the serial murderer, but now it seems that he is obviously aware of the undercurrent surging among the nobles.

Although Imperial Blue is not a magic gem, it is a very valuable gem, each of this gem has a record, it is estimated that someone secretly went to Clark to buy it, but he did not agree, and then Clark noticed the problem among the nobles of the imperial capital.

I opened the task list and looked at it, although the main quest was not activated, An Yizhi felt that as long as there were a little more clues, the main quest would not run.

It was at this time that Kara came out of the room, and she found Ann, who was frowning and had a headache on the sofa, and said:

Jeremiah agreed to bring troops into the city, but he asked to be part of the operation.

It's clear that Jeremiah wants a piece of credit too.

Although in terms of situation, Jeremiah is much better than Carla, as long as his father does not have a little brother and sister, he will never have to worry about inheritance, just wait until he joins the army after the age of 18 and becomes a staff officer under his father, and slowly learns all the skills needed to integrate the duke.

But as the saying goes, a man has a face and a tree wants bark, and the pride of Duke Jeremiah is a little unacceptable, and since Carla has brought the news that he can get a share of the credit, he naturally wants a piece of the pie.

It didn't matter, without Jeremiah's army, encirclement and suppression would have been impossible.

"With the permission of His Majesty the Emperor, we can put an end to this matter...... You don't seem to be happy? ”

An Yizhi was speechless and said:

"Eldest sister, have you ignored the assassination of Jeremiah just now?"

It turned out to be Kara who was surprised:

"Assassination...... Was that so surprising to you? ”

“……”

What kind of life do these nobles usually live?

In fact, assassinations are quite common among the nobles of this dungeon world, otherwise why would Kara's carriage be protected by defensive magic?

The assassinations against the families of the four dukes have never stopped, especially the assassinations of the first heir.

Heirs like Carla and her brother Charles, who have little chance of inheriting, are fine, and the heirs with higher succession are almost at risk of being assassinated on a daily basis, and they are so varied that they are simply impossible to prevent.

It can be seen from the housekeeper's methodical response that this kind of assassination is already commonplace.

An pointed and said, you nobles are really tired of living......

"This kind of assassination generally doesn't leave any handle, and if there is, most of them are also cited by Woe Shuidong, so it can't be traced many times, so don't think about this."

I'm afraid I can't do it if I don't think about it.,This is likely to be the main quest.,And it's a task that will only be triggered after taking the serial killer branch.。

"It's true that there is no accountability for ordinary assassinations, but this time is different."

He took out the Imperial Blue, which the Assassins had deliberately used to blame him, and said:

"Imperial blue is a very precious sapphire, and since it is scarce, it is relatively easy to trace the ins and outs of this gem."

Kara is a rare clever one:

"It's useless, if I were the mastermind behind it, I would definitely destroy all the evidence before I planned the operation."

Precious gemstones do have detailed ins and outs, but these origins are made by people, and since they are man-made, they may be destroyed.

"Don't worry."

An pointed and took out the crossbow arrow from the assassin's decisive counterattack before:

"What can you see with this crossbow?"

"Uh...... Well made? ”

It's not just Hela this time, even An can't help but cover his face with a finger.

Eldest sister, what have you studied in the past few years in the military academy, and isn't weapon identification a necessary subject in the military academy?

"Hela, explain."

"Good~"

Miss Demon jumped and landed on the top of Ann's finger, as if he was a podium, and then said:

"This crossbow arrow is different from the general hand crossbow, the length of the general crossbow arrow is about 8 inches, this one is only 5 inches, and after special treatment, the feathers used for the balance of the arrow tail are replaced by a thin and foldable metal sheet, the effect is to further reduce the space occupied by the crossbow arrow and enhance the concealment."

Hela pointed to the crossbow arrow in his hand with her wings and said:

"These bolts are usually used on special crossbows called 'Hidden Arrows', which can be easily placed in a wide sleeve, and some of them can even be placed in tights without being noticed, but they are no less powerful than ordinary hand crossbows, and can even reach the level of a strong bow after enchantment. It's just that this kind of thing is rarely used by adventurers, because the disadvantage is that it can only be reloaded once, and it is very troublesome to reload, and most of the time it is used for sneak attacks. ”

"But these ...... What does it have to do with leads? ”

With Kara at a loss, Hela went on to explain:

"I've just seen the Hidden Arrows used by the Assassins, and they're a very delicate type that they can't be mass-produced. While it is also possible that humans are the makers, it is more likely that halflings and gnomes are in the case of precision mechanics. ”

Then An Yizhi shook the crossbow arrow in his hand:

"If you look at the tip of the arrow, it's not made of ordinary steel, but a special metal from poisonous areas such as poison swamps, and the blue color on it is evidence that the metal itself is highly toxic. And the forging technique is also quite special, usually the arrows are required to be hard, and the arrows of this crossbow arrow are hard and brittle and particularly sharp, and the arrow part can clearly see many layered structures, so that as long as it is shot into the human body, the arrow will expand the killing area in the body like a scattered bullet, plus the toxin carried by the metal itself, it is a weapon specially used for assassination. ”

Hela took over and said:

"However, this kind of forging technique is beyond the mastery of humans, and at present, only dwarves have this forging technique, and the forging patterns on the arrows can also show the consistent characteristics of dwarves."

Carla was a little confused by the two of them singing and harmonizing:

"You'd better say the conclusion."

"The conclusion is that if you find a blacksmith or gathering place for halflings or gnomes and dwarves, you can find out the whereabouts of this crossbow arrow. For now, the premise is that the bolt was not brought in by the Assassins from outside the city, otherwise the devil knows where it was made. ”

Hela interjected at this point:

"The bolts are new, they've just been forged for no more than a day, and I can make out them."

It's the same as when we eat, you can see at a glance whether the food is fresh or not, and Hela can naturally see it if she uses equipment as food.

"Although I am reluctant to look into this kind of thing, which is basically impossible to find the murderer, but there is really nothing else to do now, I will ask the guards to find a qualified blacksmith or weapon shop in the city according to the conditions you mentioned."

Kara's meaning is tacit, as she said, if you want to catch the serial killer, you have to wait for the permission of His Majesty the Emperor, there is really nothing else to do during this time, and if it really happens, this information can also sell Duke Winifred a big favor.
