At noon the next day, when General Walter reappeared at the dinner table, he found that several nobles who had just woken up at 14 were in good spirits, and their mood was obviously much better than the previous night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info when the two sides meet, it is inevitable to compliment each other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the hot spring water in the room is not bad." General Walter asked, "The most important feature of Hot Flow City is that there is a stream of heat gushing out of here all year round. It's winter, and there's nothing more suitable than this. ”

The aristocrats, with an unfathomable smile on their faces, talked to each other about their feelings in the hot springs, behaving extremely gentlemanly.

But when Kyle accompanies Hidehide the Baddog, this atmosphere is shattered in an instant. It was tacit that the nobles all became cautious and stood there respectfully, as if they were greeting some important person.

General Walter stepped forward and said with a smile, "How were Lord Pigger and Lord Kyle resting yesterday?" Ah, the thing that Piger wears around his neck is very unique, and it must have been made by a very famous craftsman. ”

Of course, Piggie couldn't answer, but he also felt that this collar really didn't seem to be ordinary. If you were to find a blacksmith to make a collar for a cow, there was no reason why such a fine material would be used. Not only that, but the bull's head in front is also very delicately carved, which is completely master-level.

Did you accidentally pick up a leak? Pije wasn't sure if he was really lucky.

As soon as the group picked up the dishes, Piger seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked at Kyle. The latter understood and asked, "What about the guard who stood here yesterday, why didn't you see it today?" ”

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what Kyle meant. General Walter was even more surprised, looking at Kyle, and after a moment said, "That man was found dead this morning, and he was stabbed in the room. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more surprised. They obviously knew the story, but they couldn't figure it out with just that question.

Kyle stared at Walter, clearly wanting to hear him continue.

"The specific reason hasn't been found out yet, but it's just a trivial matter, so you shouldn't have to worry about it." At this point, General Walter looked at Kyle with a hint in his eyes, "If Lord Kyle is interested, I can give you a detailed overview of the situation when we finish this meal." ”

Kyle didn't hold on. After a brief lunch, Walter found an excuse to break away from the crowd, and then looked at the vicious dog and the night ** master in front of him.

"I killed that man."

Unexpectedly, Walter was very honest and had no intention of concealing it at all, "But this matter is not my intention, but the Grand Duke of Baria asked me to do this." ”

After Walter finished speaking, he took out a letter from his armor and handed it to Kyle, saying, "This handwritten letter from the secret herald of the Grand Duke's faction, it stands to reason that I shouldn't have shown it to anyone. But now that the situation is special, I believe you will be able to keep it a secret for me. ”

Kyle took it, and saw that the date written on it was the day they left Ontario, and it seemed that the messenger of the Grand Duke of Baria had set out with them. The above content is simple, let General Walter find a suitable opportunity to get rid of the viscount without him knowing.

"Why did the Grand Duke of Baria let you get rid of the viscount?" Kyle reseals the letter and asks as he hands it to Walter.

"Because the last Grand Duke Efe was the uncle of the viscount. After Barria became the new Grand Duke, the viscount quickly recognized Barria's position as Grand Duke, so he was safe. "But that doesn't mean that Archduke Baria believes him, after all, it is a dangerous thing to leave a descendant of an enemy, so the Archduke has been looking for an opportunity to get rid of him." ”

"But none of this seems to have anything to do with the guard's death."

General Walter shook his head: "No, it has a lot to do with it. This guard has been with me for a long time, and many things have been handled very well, so I have left the assassination of the viscount to him. ”

"One of the maids who served you last night was a succubus that the guard had quietly arranged inside. Because the news of the Viscount's death had not yet spread, he saw many low-ranking nobles surrounding you, Lord Kyle, and thought that you were the Viscount. ”

At this point, Kyle already understood, so he took over and said, "So he plans to arrange that succubus to come to me, and find an opportunity for the succubus to kill me." Later, you found out about it, and you stopped him. ”

"That's right." General Walter nodded.

"But why did you kill him?" Kyle said, "That doesn't make sense. ”

General Walter laughed heartily twice: "Nothing doesn't make sense. The assassination of the Viscount is very secret, and if it is leaked, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the Grand Duke of Barria, and it is safest to let him die for the sake of secrecy. Moreover, although this guard has been with me for so many years, I have never heard of him being able to hire a succubus as a helper. It's really worrying that such a person stays around. ”

"These two reasons, either one is enough to kill him." General Walter shook his head lightly and sighed, "It's a pity, if this guard knows how to keep a low profile, he may be promoted to the chief of the guard in the near future, and may even become the sheriff of Recurrent City, but now I have to train another person." ”

Kyle felt a little uncomfortable in his heart for no apparent reason. He glanced at Piger, intentionally or unintentionally, only to notice that the vicious dog was also looking at him, and immediately turned his head away.

The Night Mage once again felt the way things were done at the top, and his own cleverness was much worse than their insidious cunning. The Grand Duke of Baria took advantage of such an opportunity to get rid of the troubles around him, and General Walter happened to use such an incident to completely pull out a thorn in his heart.

Kyle thought of himself. In the eyes of the vicious dog next to him, is he also the thorn that needs to be pulled out? But he thought of the unreserved communication that Piger had with him last night, and felt that he might have been thinking too much.

Either way, the words General Walter had just said were ingrained in Kyle's mind: keep the necessary low profile no matter what the circumstances. Otherwise, when someone around you finds out that you have become a threat to him one day, then your death is likely not far off.

This is a lesson for Kyle. From this day on, the Night Mage Kyle didn't dare to think about it for a long time, but silently handled the following matters for Anne and Piger. (To be continued.) )
