"Mr. Bran is a friend of mine, taller than me, with golden hair, and a beautiful smile, and I have not seen him since the night of the feast. Lena sat down in the castle with a gloomy expression and said to one of the maids standing beside her, "He must be in trouble, otherwise he would not have said goodbye." ”

"Miss, if you are really worried about his safety, you should explain to the Duke that if you want to find someone in Tallinn City, without the help of the Duke, I am afraid that the two of us will never be able to find it. The maid crouched down and reminded in a low voice.

"But how do I speak to my father...... "Lina's cheeks flushed, "he's always busy. ”

"Wait, if there is no news before dark today, then I will have to go to my father. ”

......

"We should leave Tallinn immediately, isn't the ambush we have encountered in the past two days enough to make you understand, at this time our situation is like fat meat targeted by wolves, the killers of the Holy See are hiding in the shadows, and they may jump out at any time and send the two of us to hell!"

In a small hotel, Yarrow held his strong, bandaged arm, and they had been attacked five times since that night, and the Holy See seemed determined to kill Bran in Tallinn, and once a killer disguised as a trader nearly stabbed Bran in the throat.

If Yarrow hadn't blocked the fatal blow for him, Bran would probably have turned into a cold corpse.

Yarrow felt his injured arm getting heavier and heavier, and as time went on, he began to feel numb.

He didn't open the gauze, and he knew his wound was festering and inflamed just by feeling it.

Hell, these killers' weapons are smeared with a potent poison that can't be dissolved even by the flesh of the enhanced demon seed.

The wound was still sharp and painful two days ago, but now it has begun to slowly lose consciousness, Yarrow pinched the injured arm, a hard touch came from the fingertips, the muscles had gradually lost their elasticity, and as the body shook, from the inside of the gauze wrap, pus and blood mixed with the fishy smell overflowed.

The venom had spread along the veins to the shoulder, and Yarrow thought that if he didn't treat it, the arm would be a complete ornament.

He didn't dare to take Bran back to the hall where the Blue Star family's caravan lived, and he was afraid that the Holy See had already laid a net.

Although drugs snatched from outside can stop the bleeding, they cannot slow the spread of toxicity.

How long can I last in this state, three days or five days?

If he loses his strength, then Bran, who has no protection, will be completely exposed to the killers of the Holy See.

Bran looked out the window at the sky, and although he knew exactly where he was now, he was still calm.

Be elegant in the face of pressure.

This is the dogma that Bran has always embraced.

"The guild hall must not go back," Bran squinted, "Norrington Castle...... , I'm afraid there is no less danger than outside. ”

Bran didn't think of it before, but after a simple analysis, Bran found out that the manipulator behind this assassination against him was probably not only the Holy See's forces, why could the assassin easily disguise himself as a soldier of the Norrington family and infiltrate Norrington Castle, even if the Duke was holding a banquet that day, but the defense of Norrington Castle, which is the highest concentration of power in Tallinn, was too loose.

"You mean, Duke Norrington and the Holy See have joined forces to get rid of us?" Yarrow 's face became even more ugly, if it was just the Holy See, it would be okay to say, but if there is a shadow of the Norrington family on the other side, then it is not so simple to get out.

In Tallinn City, a city completely controlled by the Norrington family, it is even more difficult to avoid their ears and eyes and leave quietly than to ascend to the sky.

"It can't be the Duke of Norrington himself, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to get out of the castle gates that night. Bran shook his head and dismissed Yarrow's speculation, "This person may be in a high position in the Norrington family, so he has the qualifications to cooperate with the Holy See. ”

"It could be some commander or high-ranking official, or a member of the Norrington family, Miss Lina's uncle, or something. Bran took a deep breath, "This person's position is probably the head of the Tallinn City secret service, otherwise it would be impossible to explain that our whereabouts will be discovered by the pursuers every time, no matter how hidden it is. ”

From the beginning of his escape, Bran noticed that every time he escaped his pursuers, before they could rest for long, the pursuers would always find their hiding place and break in accurately.

One or two can be explained by coincidence, but each time it is so, it has to make Bran suspect that there are a pair of "eyes" in the city that are watching them all the time, and will report to the assassin in time.

There is no second organization with such capabilities, except for the Inspectorate in Tallinn.

"The Norrington people are crazy, do they dare to risk war and help the killers of the Holy See?"

"Duke Norrington must not know about this, otherwise even if he doesn't have a good impression of me, he will definitely send me back to the Imperial City politely. I died in his territory, and he couldn't explain it. Bran frowned, "There must be someone who is colluding with the Holy See without him, Norrington's attitude towards the Holy See is no better than my father's, and he colluded with the Holy See without the consent of the Duke of Norrington......"

"There are only two possibilities, one is that the benefits promised by the Holy See can make him crazy to the point of ignoring the consequences;" Brandn paused, his face a little gloomy: "This second guess is that the person is so confident that even if the Duke of Norrington knows about this in the future, he will not be punished for it." ”

"The Inspector General of Tallinn, Paris Norrington......" Bran recalled, the man's father was the half-brother of the Duke of Norrington, but he lost the right to inherit the title because of his mother's background.

The Duke of Norrington attaches great importance to his nephew, and when he becomes an adult, he directly grants him the pivotal position of Inspector General.

"Come to think of it, he is the only one who meets this condition, an ambitious member of the side;

Bran could simply guess that the conditions that the Holy See could promise him were nothing more than to kill or force the Duke of Norrington to abdicate by some means after provoking a war, and then raise him to become the new ruler of the Norrington family.

What's even more daring is that when the time comes, he can replace the Tieliu royal family and become the new king of the Tieliu Kingdom.

"It's just not a puppet to replace another puppet," Bran sneered, "and it's a fool to even believe the Holy See's nonsense." ”
