Chapter 178: Murder
"Grandpa, why did you suddenly become interested in ancient books?"
Andrei quickly changed the subject, he didn't want to dwell on this issue where the two sides did not have any common language at all.
"Don't underestimate these ancient books, the great ancients left us a lot of useful things through them. ”
André's trick worked, and the Duke's attention was redirected back to the book in his hand.
"Grandpa didn't seem to like these books very much?"
Andrei knew that his maternal grandfather was a very pragmatic person, and it was obvious to him that it would be more appropriate to stay in the library to add some weight to the books, but today's grandfather did behave a little differently in front of him.
"In the past, people will always change, not to mention that I am older now, and it is normal to have some nostalgia for old things. ”
The Duke suddenly sighed, closed the book in his hand, and set it aside.
"Grandpa is still in his prime, how could he say such a thing?"
"Don't just say nice things. Tell my grandfather how you thought about your graduation assessment. ”
Lord Duke laughed, although Andre's words were obviously sycophant, they still made him feel very useful, people sometimes care about what others think of them when they are older, even to their own relatives.
"I may have to wait a few months for the graduation assessment, and I haven't thought about it that much. ”
Andre knew that his grandfather was about to get down to business, so he answered more cautiously, because he knew that since his grandfather had mentioned this matter, it was obvious that he had already made relevant arrangements, and as long as he accepted this arrangement with an open mind, his grandfather's arrangement would definitely not be wrong.
"Although I am not in charge of the military, I also know a lot of military things, due to the tense border situation this year, the military force in the south of the empire is expanding rapidly, and some military talents are urgently needed, so this year, both the Knight Academy and the Magic Academy have advanced the graduation assessment. ”
"Grandpa, if you don't say it, I really don't know about it. ”
"You've been dating your magician lover lately, haven't you?"
Andrei scratched his hair embarrassedly by the Duke's words, but the Duke didn't know that his grandson's pursuit of the magical girl was not smooth, and even full of ups and downs.
"But I've already arranged for you about your graduation assessment. Recently, the Imperial Court Guards, the Knight Academy, and the Academy of Magic formed a group to explore a monument in the remnants of the Capra Mountains, six hundred miles west of the Empire, and I arranged for you to join them. ”
The Duke put down the ancient book in his hand, straightened his sitting posture, and habitually put on a posture to talk about business.
"Grandpa, are you saying that the students of the Magic Academy will also participate?"
"Yes, and there will be a little magician named Alan in attendance. ”
When Lord Duke mentioned the name Alan, his eyes were obviously sharp, and a murderous intent flashed from his eyes.
"Alan?"
When Andre heard this name, he was obviously stunned for a moment, he thought that his grandfather knew everything about himself and Alan being rivals in love, but the Duke's next words really surprised him.
"That's right, Alan, and I don't want this person to be on your way back from exploring the monuments. ”
Although the Duke's words were tactful, but between the lines were full of murderous intent and blood, the meaning made Andre understand it all the better, but his grandfather was too lenient, and he couldn't kill his rival at will just because he favored himself, right?
But what André did not know was that when the Duke returned to his house the afternoon before yesterday, a guard at the gate reported to him that at noon that day a little magician named Alan Kanter had come to look for the old man Louis, and he left in a hurry after learning that the old man had gone to Kanazawa Garden.
Regarding the old man Louis, in fact, it has always been the heart disease of Lord Duke, although this heart disease has completely disappeared from this world from the latest news, but if the people and things related to this old man are involved, it will still bring monstrous disasters to himself and his family.
Especially when such a big thing happened in Nanshan, it was really related to him in the end, not to mention his own life, the entire Phelps family may be in danger. As a person close to Emperor Yus, although he is not a cronie, he understands the methods of this powerful emperor too well. And from the fact that he has never allowed himself to interfere in the affairs of the emperor, it can be known that he does not fully trust himself or the entire Phelps family, and the reason why he is willing to let himself stay in the position of prime minister is purely to balance the forces and interests of all parties in the empire.
Although the Duke didn't know how much Alan knew about the whole incident, he believed that Allen's appearance at noon the day before yesterday would definitely not be accidental, so the best way to solve this unknown danger factor was to make him disappear from this world completely.
Emperor Hepburn knew what he knew, and the Duke also understood it.
It would have been easy for the Duke to get rid of Ellen, an insignificant person, but since behind Alan was the old magician Fama Ux, the dean of the School of Magic, who had to scruple him.
The old magician Fama Ax has a very special position in the Yus Empire, because he himself does not hold any official position in the empire, so he has no interest relationship with any power in the empire, even if he has the name of the dean of the magic school, it is only about ideals, not interests. In addition, he once traveled around the continent with the young Vettels and had adventures everywhere, which can be said to be a friend of life and death.
Because of this, the old magician has a very high status in front of Yuss the Great, and any opinions and suggestions he gives will be valued by Yuss the Great. If such a person befriends him, it may not be beneficial, but offending him is indeed the next choice.
However, the discovery of the monuments later led to the Duke finding an opportunity.
The matter of the monument was originally deliberately arranged by the Duke at the behest of someone, so he knew very well that the students of the Academy of Magic would definitely participate in it, and according to the agreement between the Academy of Magic and the Empire, the old magician would definitely arrange for Alan to participate in the operation. However, the Duke didn't know that Alan was also in Kanazawaen that night, otherwise he wouldn't have to think about it and go to great lengths to put Alan to death, because in his heart, the old man's grandson would definitely die.
So, having an accident in a monument is the best excuse to make a little magician disappear. It's just that this matter must be carried out by an absolute cronie of the Duke, and of course the Duke has no shortage of die-hard cronies, but in this matter there is no one more suitable than Andre. And André has grown up, and it's time to contribute to the Phelps family and their vast system.
Of course, as a duke, he can't do anything to take advantage of the contradictions between the two rivals.
