The castle of the Grand Duke of Ophir was obviously much more luxurious than that of Jeffrey City, surrounded by gold and red curtains, and red carpets on the floor, and every room in this castle was much more luxurious than Gnavier's residence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that there is silence in this castle, and there is no one in it.

Ye Yu turned around and didn't find anyone, not even the guards.

Think about it, there are two shifts of patrols in the city day and night, almost 200 people, all of them are knights, and it is normal for the castle to be empty, but there are no guards, which is a bit too much to say.

There are not even people, and Ye Yu is more sure of his guesses.

Something had happened to the Grand Duke of Ophel, the Radiant City had been occupied, and the outside world didn't know about it.

It can be seen from the fact that Gilles also came to collect taxes, but the outside world of Radiant City does not know, the forces of the entire kingdom do not know, and even the forces of the Grand Duke of Ophir himself do not know.

What a good job the original sins can do to keep their secrets!

Ye Yu ghostly shuttled through the various rooms in the castle, everything remained the same, without the slightest appearance of fighting.

Turned around, and it was empty.

Ye Yu stopped in the conference hall and glanced at the empty conference hall.

Something is wrong.

Ye Yu frowned.

All information is missing, including important records of noble ancestry, family history, which are the most important information under the theory of pedigree.

In this case, it is not like original sin has entered the city, but it is as if the Grand Duke of Ophir has temporarily retreated.

Could it be ......

Ye Yu thought of a crazy thought again.

The Grand Duke of Ophir has given up on Shining City!

If this assumption is correct, then so many patrols, so many knights, he gave it all up?

No way!

The knights are his backbone, and even if he retreats, he will take all the knights with him...... Moreover, those patrolling knights, among them, even two elite level, the famous generals of the kingdom have given up, even if the Grand Duke of Ophir is cornered, it is impossible to do this!

So, what could it be!

Ye Yu paced a few steps and thought about it, after all, the amount of information was too small, and he couldn't guess 100% about the situation of the Grand Duke of Ofir for a while.

Let's assume this for now.

The first possibility is that Archduke Ophir is old and loses the battle against the original sin...... Therefore, the careerists under his command began to act, put the Grand Duke of Orpheor under house arrest, and abandoned the Glorious City, intending to do the thing of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

And these careerists may be powerful people, or they may be the heirs of the Grand Duke of Ophel.

The second is that Archduke Ophir himself gave up Glorious City and moved the capital to another place, after all, there is still a tenth of the territory I have not been to, and it is very likely that the Archduke of Ophir is hiding somewhere in this tenth of the territory.

Or even some secret area of emergency that he had prepared for a long time.

Ye Yu thought like this, and searched the castle carefully, this time he searched very carefully, with the thief-level theft knowledge given to him by his identity as a thief and the use of the ability "Echo of Everything", he really found two secret passages.

One behind a cabinet resembling Archduke Orphe's bedroom, and one behind a bookshelf in the library.

And a secret room was discovered, but this secret room, which was supposed to store a large number of files, was empty.

Ye Yu completely ruled out the idea of the original sin occupying Radiant City, and it was determined that Grand Duke Ophir had given up Glorious City.

It's just that there is one thing that makes Chiba puzzled.

Why, the famous generals of the kingdom are still in Radiant City? If they didn't evacuate together, if it was just a knight at the level of a famous general of the two kingdoms, even if they were taken away, I am afraid that they would not attract the attention of others.

Even, 200 knights stayed in Radiant City, which is unreasonable, and 200 soldiers left to patrol will not arouse suspicion, why should the knights be left.

Grand Duke Ofir is a man with brains, Ye Yu believes that he will not fail to think of this, let alone give up these knights, 200 knights, I am afraid that all the knights of Grand Duke Ofir. This is self-destruction, even if the Grand Duke of Ophel is held hostage by the careerist, the careerist cannot be so stupid, without these 200 knights, the Duke of Ofir would also exist in name only.

Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the princes of the order are gone, what is the use of holding the Son of Heaven hostage?

Strange, so weird!

Ye Yu also felt in his heart that he was far from finding the context of this matter, although there were already some abnormal clues in his hands, but it was not enough to outline the situation of the matter.

It was almost dawn, Ye Yu didn't do much guessing and searching, and left the castle directly.

When he returned to the hotel, the sky was just dawning, everyone was resting, and with Ye Yu's ghostly steps, naturally no one would do it, but when he walked to his door, it was already.

Because in an inconspicuous gap in front of the door of his room, Ye Yu found bloodstains, the bloodstains had not dried, and they looked very fresh.

Ivan!

Ye Yu's pupils contracted slightly, his heart tightened, and his first reaction was that something had happened to Ivan!

Immediately, he grabbed the hilt of the Nameless Sword and opened the door to enter, only to see Ivan slumped on the ground trembling and a human figure lying on the floor.

At this time, hearing someone open the door, Ivan jumped up in fright, grabbed the short dagger with both hands, pointed at Ye Yu, his eyes were bloodshot, and the hand holding the short dagger was also trembling.

At this time, Ye Yu also saw the human figure clearly.

Exactly the owner of the inn!

"Ivan...... It's okay, it's me! Ye Yu said softly, there were only two of them staying in the hotel. After all, the whole city is under martial law, and there are outsiders who are to blame. It doesn't matter if it's loud.

Hearing Ye Yu's voice, Ivan fixed his eyes and saw that it was Uncle Ye, who he was familiar with, and his heart was relieved at the moment, and the short dagger fell to the ground.

Ivan threw himself into Ye Yu's arms and cried: "Uncle Ye, it's so terrible!" Uncle Ye! It's terrifying! The innkeeper pounced on me and said he was going to eat me! Ivan was so scared, so he followed Uncle Ye's method...... He's dead, he's dead, did Ivan do something bad, Ivan felt so scared! It's so uncomfortable! ”

Eat?

Those carnoid maniacs?

Ye Yu was the first to think of the lunatics who were imprisoned, and then looked at the innkeeper's body, there were some places with slight black and red markings.

What is this?

This kind of markings, Ye Yu has seen it!

The leader of the mini-boss of the guards under the hand of Color 1 Desire, when he used the power of original sin, it was this kind of marking.

This person...... Infected by original sin!

Ye Yu quickly made a judgment, and at the same time, he finally had an eyebrow in his heart.

Why, Archduke Ophir is not there! (To be continued.) )
