Mochi wrote down the information he had into a letter for Gareth to pass on to Anvina. When Anvina saw the letter, she quickly met with Mochi in a cloister in the courtyard.

"I have reported this to my father, and he has sent someone to investigate. The father said that in the near future, he will also strengthen the protection of the royal court, and will not let the bad guys take advantage of it. ”

"That's good." Hearing Avena's answer, Mochi finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this matter is handed over to the regent of Silvermoon City to deal with, I believe that there will be a result soon, and that guy from "Biasruth" will definitely not be able to escape the search and arrest of the royal court of Silvermoon City.

Moqi looked up and found that the dress Anwena was wearing this time was different from the last time they met, and Moqi couldn't understand why there was always a dress in the world that was more suitable for Avena and made her look better. But it's good-looking, and some questions still need to be asked clearly, "By the way, your birthday is on the Winter Veil Festival?" Why didn't you tell me? ”

"Because I want to surprise Mr. Mochi." Avena replied as a matter of course.

"How can someone with a birthday surprise other people......"

"Oh, that's right."

Anvina's words almost made Mochi faint.

Mochi wanted to say something more, but Gareth suddenly arrived, and brought a news that surprised Mochi—

"Found the guy named Bisruth, but by the time we found him, he was dead."

"How did you die? When did he die? Mochi asked.

Anvina relayed Mochi's question.

Gareth was quite dissatisfied when he saw that the princess of Silvermoon City had become Mochi's personal interpreter, but he was helpless, and he still truthfully reported the cause and time of Biasruth's death to Moqi-

"We found his body in the Death Marks area of the Old Town. By the time we found the body, it had been charred by the flames. It was only with special magical detection methods that we were able to confirm his identity. Bisruth was a well-known pyrotechnic merchant known to most of the city's residents, and about an hour before his body was found, at around 9:15, many witnesses saw Biasruth walking out of the gates of Silvermoon City. And according to the remnants of the spell at the scene and some other evidence, the time of his death was about an hour before we found his body, that is, around 9:20 in the morning. ”

Nine-twenty? It's a strange time, isn't it? Leaving aside the identity of Biasrus, this time alone is puzzling to Mochi.

You must know that Mochi heard Bisruth and the black-robed man talking at about half past eight, and then went back to the inn room, compiled the contents into a letter, and explained a few words to Linda and Akalin before going out. Then he arrived at the Praetorian Guard office at about 8:50 to meet Gareth. When Mochi left the Praetorian Guard's office at 9:15, he saw a large number of guards going out to carry out the search.

But Bisruth chose to go out at 9:15 at this time, which is too coincidental!

"Mr. Moch, the place and manner of Bisruth's death are too suspicious." Anvina also felt that this matter was very strange, "Using fire magic to burn the corpse and throw it on the charred death mark is easy for the patrolling soldiers to ignore as the corpse of the undead of the natural disaster, and the murderer obviously wants to destroy the corpse." ”

"Yes, but I'm more worried that there are moles within the Praetorian Guard." Mochi said with a frown.

"Mole?" Avena said with her mouth wide open.

"yes. We suppose that this is how it happened—that I heard the conversation of Bisruth and his accomplices intent on murdering the princess. I then exposed Biasrus to the Praetorian Guard, and then the Janissary spies revealed the news to Biasruth's associates. Fearing that the Praetorian Guards would find them along the line of Bisruth, the accomplices intervened and arranged to meet him at the Death Scars, where they took the opportunity to kill him with fire magic. Mochi threw out all the ideas in his head.

Anvina relayed Mochi's hypothesis to Gareth, and then agreed with Mochi's hypothesis, "Indeed, according to Mr. Mochi's hypothesis, everything makes sense. But ......"

Anvena bit her lip, "I still can't imagine that someone in the Praetorian Guard would betray my father. They were an army raised by their father, and they were also his father's most trusted subordinates. ”

"Humanity is the most inexplicable thing in the world, and how can you tell if the people who join this army are not motivated by revenge in the first place?" Mo Qi would think of the hatred in the black-robed man's tone, and inexplicably felt a chill in his back.

"Revenge?" Anvina's eyes were filled with confusion - her father had indeed pushed for reforms in recent years, trying to bring about a revival in Sindore, which would indeed touch some collective and individual interests. She'd heard of these things. But where does this "revenge" begin, as far as Anwena knows, after the death of the previous king Kael'thas, her father has always adopted a gentle attitude towards the old school of the royal party, and did not hold those people responsible.

Those who have sinned deeply are also regarded by her father as fellow citizens blinded by demonic addiction. The convicts were sentenced to indefinite imprisonment after being tried in public by parliament, and were not directly executed. Anvina hadn't heard of any sinners executed by her father, so he didn't know who wanted revenge on his father.

"Let's not talk about revenge. Gareth just mentioned that the other party is a pyrotechnic dealer, so has the royal court ordered fireworks from Bisruz recently. ”

Anvena relayed Mochi's question, and Gareth was about to answer when another voice took the lead.

"I've looked into it. There was nothing wrong with that batch of fireworks. ”

The speaker's voice is mellow and clear, and there is a very exaggerated theatrical emphasis in his tone, as if a stage actor is reciting his lines.

Mo Qi followed the sound and saw a narrow-brimmed hat decorated with black feathers in the distance.

The guy named Sadir Morning Star appeared in the courtyard, stepped on his right foot with his left ** fork, bowed slightly, and his right hand fell from front of him to his chest like a flower, and then said to Anvena in a saluting posture:

"Time will pierce the golden paint on the surface of youth, revealing the folded and yellowed side, but the beauty of Her Highness Avena is like a star, and the curtain will never end."

When Mo Qi heard these words, he snorted coldly, thinking in his heart that this person obviously lacked astronomical common sense—is it good that stars also have a lifespan? And "never end", this sassy and uneducated guy has obviously never heard of the terms "protostar", "main-sequence star", "red giant", "white dwarf", "black dwarf".

"Please get up. Duke of Sadir. Anvena gestured with her hand raised.

With Avena's permission, Sadir slowly raised his head, and while getting up, his left hand was scratched in the air, and a blue-purple rose appeared in his hand.

"Starlight Roses from the Broken Isles, dedicated to the idol of my heart, the brightest star in Silvermoon City."

Seeing this, the corners of Moqi's mouth twitched.

Anvina also glanced at Moqi very embarrassed, thinking about the refusal.

Before Avena could speak, Mochi picked up a handful of dirt from the ground and scattered it.

Not only did the soil particles smash into Sadir's mouth with white teeth exposed, but he was very embarrassed. The fragile plant of the Starlight Rose will disappear when it encounters the collision of the outside world. The soil particles hit the petals, and the blue-purple flowers immediately turned into dots of starlight and dissipated into the air.

"It seems that his gift is as fragile as his so-called heartfelt feelings, and he can't connect with the ground at all!" Moqi said slowly.

Hearing Mochi's words, Anvena burst out laughing.

"It's you again!" Duke Sadir spat out the dirt in his mouth and looked fiercely at Mochi.

Mochi didn't even look at him, his eyes kept looking at Anvina.

"It made me lose face in front of Her Royal Highness Avena, whom I love the most! Guy hiding in a cloak, I'm going to duel you! ”

As he spoke, Sadir jerked out the sword at his waist and shouted for a life-and-death duel with Mochi.

In Mochi's opinion, this momentum was not bad, but it was a pity that the sword was drawn too violently, and the tip of the sword slammed into his hat.

So, how do you think Moqi thinks he's a tease.

"Forget it, Duke Sadir." Anwena hurriedly changed the topic and said, "You just said that you investigated the batch of fireworks?" ”

"Oh, yes. I was about to say this. Thinking of what he was about to say, Duke Sadir's turbulent momentum disappeared immediately, and he talked endlessly about his investigation of the fireworks, and the foil in his hand became a prop in his hand when he spoke.

Moqi was a little skeptical that this thing had only the memory of a fish, and could only remember what happened a few seconds ago.

“…… That's it, your safety is at stake, Your Royal Highness. After receiving the news, I immediately went to the warehouse, and not only checked the fireworks in Biasrus, but also sent someone to check the other fireworks that would be set off at the Winter Veil Dance, and found nothing unusual, these fireworks were just ordinary fireworks. ”

How so?

Once again, things turned out to surprise Mochi. The pyrotechnic merchant clearly said that the things had been brought into the palace, and Bisruth had already been killed, how could this be?

Could it be that the thing didn't refer to the fireworks, or that the guy named Sadir was lying, but he didn't really check the fireworks at all...... Or even that he himself was an accomplice in the murder of the princess?

Thinking of this, Mochi calmly talked to Anvina and asked her to find an excuse to drive Duke Sadir away.

Anvina understood, and after a few words of greeting with Duke Sadir, she said: "These two and I still have to discuss with my father about the Winter Veil Ball, and Lord Gong has investigated the fireworks for us, so please go back and rest." ”

Duke Sadir said in a regretful tone: "The time to get together with Her Royal Highness the princess is always so short, well, I will retire first." It just so happens that my dancing shoes have just been made today, and I have to go back to practicing dance. We look forward to seeing you at the Winter Veil Festival Ball. ”

The guy with the feathered hat seemed to have really forgotten about Mochi's sprinkling of dirt on him, and his face was full of "I need to hurry up and go home and try on new shoes".

Is he acting, or is that his personality like that? Mochi was also a little uncertain, and he turned back to Anvina and said; "The guy said he checked the fireworks and there was nothing wrong with that batch of fireworks, is his word credible?"

"Are you suspicious of Duke Sadir?" As if she had heard something funny, Anvina turned to Gareth and said, "Mochi just told me that he was suspicious of Duke Sadir's words. ”

Like Anvina, Gareth found Mochi's suspicions ridiculous.

Turning her head to glance at Moqi's expression, as if she was afraid of hurting Moqi's face, Anvena hurriedly restrained her smile and introduced seriously: "Although Duke Sadir likes to behave, people look unreliable, and often makes some moves that make me distressed, however, Duke Sadir will not be the kind of person with bad intentions!" ”

After leaving the court of the Sunseeker. Moqi sent Linda and Akalin to inquire about it everywhere, and all walks of life in Silvermoon City had a surprisingly uniform opinion of the Duke of Sadir, who liked to be in the limelight, dressed in flashy clothes, and acted impulsively, but he was never the kind of person with bad intentions.

Gareth's review of the fireworks was the same as what Sadir said – the fireworks had not been tampered with, they were just ordinary fireworks.

In addition to Mochi's surprise, Moqi was also somewhat shocked. After coming to Silvermoon City, it seemed that everything was unexpected.

"Don't be too discouraged." As if to see through Mochi's thoughts, Linda comforted.

The undead female thief with an inflexible mind is surprisingly empathetic, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation from God.

"Mochi, I know you're eating Duke Sadir's vinegar, so that's why you're reasoning wrong, aren't you? If you care, you will be in a mess, adjust your state well, I believe you can protect Anvina. ”

Is it because of jealousy? Ask yourself, is it true that Mochi is a little dissatisfied with Duke Sadir's pursuit of Avena because of disgust, so it affects his judgment? It seemed that he was going to need to adjust his form, and he needed to be more calm and rational if he was to deal with these troubles that could endanger Avena's life before the Winter Veil Ball.
