Chapter 135: Dark Bard
As soon as Wen Liang heard the news, he almost subconsciously stared at Su Mu's face with a hawkish and wolf-like look.
But there is no doubt that Su Mu's surprise at the news from the messenger was no weaker than that of Wen Liang.
At this time, Su Mu's face was also filled with deep surprise.
Therefore, Wen Liang was already convinced that Su Mu was not the mastermind of this accident just in an instant.
"From now on, you immediately take the two royal highnesses of the prince and the princess, and return to the sleeping place under Hubert's escort. Surrounded by the Hanging Mountain Cavalry Regiment, no matter how irrational those consortiums are, at least they can't directly elevate this abrupt conflict to the national level. ”
The gentleness in front of Su Mu could not be said to be an extremely cautious politician, and from the message of this sentence alone, he had already predicted the worst.
Even without hesitation, he made the most rational judgment directly:
"The next thing is for me to communicate with the consortium. And until I make a real breakthrough, neither you nor Her Royal Highness the Empress behind you can easily express any attitude. ”
Wen Liang said as he spoke, and another figure who also rushed over after hearing the news also ignored the attendants' obstruction and rushed directly into the garden at the back of the official residence.
Apparently the one who came was ...... Cavalry Commander Hubert!
The reason why Hubert stubbornly broke in was undoubtedly the same suspicion that everything was arranged by Su Mu.
That's why he wanted to forcibly take Su Mu away from his gentle anger.
But what was in front of him was clearly contrary to Hubert's expectations. Between Su Mu and Wen Liang, not only did there not have any conflicts, but even passively formed an emergency alliance in an instant.
Seeing Hubert's intrusion, Wen Liang didn't have time to be harsh, but quickly ordered:
"You immediately escort them back to their sleeping quarters, and announce directly to the public that Her Royal Highness is suffering from the cold, and that she will not see any more guests who come to inquire about her. ”
"If you don't want the balance between the Empire and the Federation to be ruined, then no matter what method you use, you must also ensure that the three of them are absolutely safe. ”
......
The speeding Qi-powered limousine proudly pierced the bustling night of Saphist.
Under the sanitation of dozens of elite cavalry, he directly disappeared into the luxurious dormitory where the federal parliamentarians drove it.
Although Su Tong had already guessed that the incident that originated from the Kabat Fortress was still inevitably entangled when he noticed that Su Mu had quietly left the banquet hall.
But even Su Tong didn't expect that things would eventually turn into such a violent conflict.
"Who do you think killed him?"
Looking at the empty and luxurious dormitory, there were all garrison cavalry in heavy armor.
Whether it was Su Can, the prince who didn't know why, or Su Tong, who had a faint guess, they all didn't return to their bedrooms, but came directly to the hall where Su Mu and Hubert were negotiating.
Seeing this, Hubert, of course, immediately bowed down and retired.
After all, in Hubert's vision, although Su Mu is still a federal resident, even if his identity has changed dramatically now, he is still in the category of communication.
And this pair of sisters and brothers who really have the blood of the emperor are the existence that makes Hubert feel restrained.
And Su Mu did not raise any objections to Hubert's farewell.
After all, Su Tong asked this question at this time, and it was really inconvenient for Su Mu to let Hubert hear it:
"First of all, at this point in time, as soon as the consortium reacted to exonerate Berg, they directly beheaded Berg in the barracks. Then the person who actually carried out the killing must have something to do with the matter of the Kabat Fortress. ”
Su Mu's judgment was actually the guess in Su Tong's heart.
And if this guess is correct, in fact, Su Mu and others are facing a bigger mystery:
"But who has the strength to take Berg's life directly from the midst of the army, and he will not even be left behind by the garrison of an entire camp. ”
"And how could someone with such strength use such fanfare to kill such a stupid regional commander. ”
This paradoxical mystery, not to mention that Su Mu and Su Tong are difficult to think of, in fact, even Wen Liang is also unbelievable.
Even this is the most important reason why he believed in Su Mu's previous gentleness.
However, at this moment, for this almost unsolvable problem, Su Mu did not continue to dwell on it.
Instead, he blurted out the more important clue in that message:
"In the message reported to Wen Liang by the messenger, the killer appears to be a man with a strange mask, and also refers to himself: 'Dark Bard'. ”
"So have you heard about this so-called 'dark bard' somewhere?"
......
However, to Su Mu's disappointment, neither Su Tong, who had always been at the center of the incident, nor Su Can, who had been living in the Science Federation for several years, had never heard of this strange title.
The being, the Dark Bard, seemed to be shrouded in darkness.
It can't be easily noticed by any gaze.
But at the same time that Su Mu was full of confusion, a very unexpected voice suddenly injected new vitality into this almost desperate question.
Under this endless accident, in fact, even Su Mu has almost forgotten:
In this dormitory where two imperial descendants lived, there were also two beings who were regarded as the entourage of the imperial maidens, and now they were also arranged to live in the dormitory.
I saw that the one who made the strange noise was Jiang Lan, who happened to be in the abrupt sanitation of the cavalry, and wanted to leave the room to see what was going on.
And the reason why Jiang Lan made a strange noise was precisely because of the key word that Su Mu had just mentioned...... Dark Bard!
"I've heard of the Dark Bard, and in all sorts of wizard circles, in fact, there has always been a vague legend about the Dark Bard. ”
Jiang Lan said as he finally remembered the identity of Su Tong's brother and sister now.
So he quickly stopped talking in a panic, and stepped forward to salute in a slight panic.
But the royal brothers and sisters who were extremely passive because of this incident obviously didn't care if Jiang Lan was respectful enough, and directly relieved Jiang Lan that he didn't have to be so restrained, and at the same time, he also asked everything about the dark bard again.
As Jiang Lan came back to his senses in relief, the legend about the dark bard was also displayed in front of Su Mu and the three of them little by little:
"The Dark Bards are not an individual or a group that exists at a certain time. No one knows where they came from, and no one knows what they are for. The only thing I know for sure is that the earliest records of ancient texts dating back 10,000 years have been the presence of Dark Bards carrying masks. ”
"They are both fierce and terrifying warriors and eerie mages. Sometimes they become insurgents, leading the rise or fall of a nation, and sometimes they become pure perpetrators, merely violently interfering in an independent event. ”
"In every corner of history, they are there. And in the official records of every great power, they are deliberately avoided existence. They are like sharp blades in the shadows of this world, forcing the world all the time, and never wanting to appear in people's sight. ”
"So according to the few words I've spied on from the texts, it's actually the so-called dark bard...... They are almost like some secret society with a clear purpose, but they are always rejected by the mainstream world!"
