Chapter 45: A Lifelong Enemy

If it's really the organization of the Dark Servants, it's a headache. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

No one wants to be an enemy of a group of people hiding in the shadows, and another of the teachings of this organization is not to make meaningless sacrifices, but to act after darkness comes.

There is nothing more terrifying than an organized, planned cultist, and the point is that they also know how to stand by when they can't do anything.

Buck walked around the scene a few times and asked, "I read the corresponding information, it is a direct decapitation with one blow, so this effect should be achieved without the victim noticing......"

"Have you ever wondered how you can do this in such a narrow passage?"

Buck glanced at the dazed guards and patted them on the shoulder, "Maybe it's time to check the top of the carriage......"

He climbed into a carriage first, and with only a slight glance of his eyes found a clue.

The top of the abandoned carriage was covered with a thick layer of dust, and two shallow footprints were imprinted on it. Sure enough, the murderer hid on the top, waited for the prey to pass through, and then waited for the opportunity to cut off his head......

Buck searched carefully and didn't miss any details. He found that the footprints were far apart, and the murderer was very explosive and could cross the distance in an instant......

This...... This is?

He was surprised to find a yellow petal left in the footprints, the petal had been trampled on, so it was stuck to the murderer's shoe, and he had not yet found it. Buck carefully took the petals and placed them on the handkerchief.

"It's a tulip rose." Isa Liuye frowned slightly, "The growing environment is extremely harsh, except for a few nobles who can plant, it is impossible for ordinary commoners to have it." ”

"Can you be sure where it is?"

Isha thought for a moment and said, "You can look it up." ”

……

In a dimly lit castle, the half-elf raised his wine glass and swayed it gently, "I deliberately left them with such obvious clues, and they haven't even come to the door yet......"

"Don't take it too lightly, my child," the tall black-robed man stood up and walked to the window, "the darkness teaches us to be vigilant at all times......

"And Edmund's blood concentration is still not enough, we need more ......"

The half-elf saluted respectfully, "Dear Father of the Midnight, I think Princess Isha is the best choice for us. She'll come over, won't she? ”

He took a sip of the wine, "And our little ones can't wait." ”

……

The guards were very attentive to the orders given by Her Royal Highness the princess herself, and the powder from the rhizome of the tulip rose was an important alchemical ingredient, so it was not difficult to investigate. Soon a report was presented to Isha.

There are only three places in the whole city that have this plant, and one is the royal palace, so there is no need to investigate; There was a mansion of a flower-loving earl, this earl did not know any martial arts, and was known for his gentle temper, and it was very unlikely that he would be him, so both Buck and Isha focused their attention on the last place - the Sith family's mansion.

The Sith family are three generations of veteran nobles, and the ancestor Edmund once affectionately called them "loyal and warlike griffins". The Duke of Sith was grateful for the kindness of his ancestors, so he simply tattooed the griffin pattern on the family crest, and ordered his descendants not to forget the glory of their ancestors.

However, this family is not prosperous, and it has been passed down to the present generation, and only one child remains, which was conceived by the head of the Sith family and an elven slave by chance, but unfortunately the old Sith died of a serious illness shortly thereafter, and he was unable to see the great talent of this half-elf. The half-elf gave up the knight profession and chose the shadow dancer profession, which is also a thing that the entire imperial capital talks about.

Buck rummaged through some information about the Sith family to find more clues. Unfortunately, since Randil Sith, the last member of the Sith family, left the imperial capital to practice five years ago, there has been no relevant information record.

"My suggestion is to take a long-term view and leave it ...... time being" Buck's mind flashed through his mind when he met the half-elf, his agile body and skillful skills were really not a simple guy.

Isha was silent for a moment, "I can wait, you can't, neither can the frightened nobles, and neither can my aunt who is about to go crazy after losing her beloved son......"

"We don't have ......a choice," she watched, for a few days, the guards were unscrupulous, the nobles were rotten, and the commoners dared not speak out. The country is just an empty shelf, unable to withstand any civil strife and turmoil, and there are three tiger and wolf legions of the empire waiting to be devoured at the right time. This matter must be resolved quickly, and every day it drags on, the country falls into the abyss......

Buck understood the girl's state of mind very well, and in his previous life, he couldn't understand why the Holy Federation, which had been able to compete with the Empire hundreds of years ago, was directly on the verge of extinction in just a few generations...... In the final analysis, it is still the hearts of the people, the nobles ignore the glory, and the commoners have no sense of belonging. People's hearts deviate, and once the external pressure is slightly greater, they will immediately fall apart and fall apart completely.

Although Princess Isha in her previous life was still talented, she disappeared very early, and there is no official information on her whereabouts.

Isha began to gather the guards, and the matter was only a private investigation, so she could only find a dozen guards to assist, check her equipment and spell slots, and then advance to the Sith Mansion.

"Prey and hunter, who knows......" Buck hurriedly followed.

"Let's talk about it first, wait a minute, if the murderer is really Randiel Sith, then I will give at least 30% of the good things in his house......"

Isha glanced at Buck, she knew that the dean valued the man in front of her, and such a price was acceptable. Anyway, it was also generous, so she agreed.

"Wait!"

There was a shout behind him, everyone turned around, and a handsome young man in a robe ran over out of breath.

"You don't take me with you if you have an adventure, but fortunately I'm well informed......," he muttered, "and take me, I want twenty percent of the booty......"

Buck was speechless, and before you could figure out what was going on this trip, you were clamoring to join.

The person who came was Helway, who had just entered the Bard Academy, and somehow he heard about Buck's whereabouts, so he ran over and asked to join him on the adventure.

Buck was about to refuse, the danger factor was too great, he didn't want the boy and girl to be involved, so he finally accepted a legendary item from someone else, and always felt that he owed something in favors.

"I promised you for him...... " Isha beside her agreed directly, she was very interested in looking at the delicate young man, she always felt that the person in front of her would be entangled with her......

Helway saluted, his eyes blazing, "Thank you." ”

She also felt the wonderful feeling of this lifelong enemy.
