"It's our army's standard gun."

The old man in fine clothes, Isidos, took a handkerchief, carefully placed the weapon in the palm of his hand and observed it for a while, and came to this conclusion:

"The muzzle of the gun is damp, and it is obviously not very well maintained; The equipment in the arsenal is reviewed every month, and it is supposed to be a weapon that has been circulating to the outside for a long time. ”

"But that doesn't prove anything."

He put the weapon down:

"There is more than one legion that has this kind of retro firearm, and judging by the level of wear, this gun has been used by many people, and the source has long been traceable, even if it uses retrospective magic."

"Trick up! How do you know that this gun has been used by many people? Why hasn't it been used by one person for a long time. ”

The old magician will not miss any opportunity to humiliate his old opponent:

"It's a shame that you're still a well-known manufacturing master in the mainland, and even such a simple mistake will be ......"

"Boris, if you don't understand, you should study modestly, and don't always be in a hurry to show your shallowness."

Isidore said sarcastically, reaching out and straightening his collar:

"Everyone holds the gun differently, and the handle of all standard guns has been treated with anti-slip treatment, and finger marks will be left on it after a long time; If you are not blind, you should be able to see how many marks of different sizes and shades there are on it, which is enough to prove that it has gone through many owners. ”

Princess Tasia stayed quietly by her side, and when he had finished speaking, she spoke:

"Pirates possessing our country's standard weapons is a very serious matter in itself, you must find a way to find out the origin of this thing, and if the backtracking spell does not work, then use all possible manpower to investigate."

"Yes! Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

This sentence was equivalent to giving a formal order, and both of them replied solemnly. Bow down.

This imperial princess is the purest blood in the royal family, and at the same time the oldest; Although there are two outstanding brothers above, her high status is still unshakable, but she cannot inherit the throne, and she herself does not seem to have that interest.

"As for this thing, I'll put it here for you first."

Princess Tasia turned. With her unique rhythm, she walked out of the cabin:

"This is out of trust in you, and I believe you two have nothing to do with it."

As soon as the words fell, her back disappeared through the hatch.

"Unlike the naughty little princess, this eldest princess has always been very quiet and stable, how could she suddenly want to come to the New World."

Isidore thumped his waist and slowly sat back in his chair, wondering.

"Maybe it's because I've been nurtured by the two princes and want to have a vigorous adventure."

The old magician's health was worse than his, and he moved his hands and feet before sitting back down:

"Joshuel is the pride of the entire royal family. He was also a model for all the people, he fought bravely, treated people with courtesy, and looked as handsome and dashing as His Majesty did when he was young...... Except for the exceptions of Timos and Elio, there should be no one in the Farnes continent who can compare to him. ”

And the second prince, Lorraine...... His Highness's story is legendary, not only surviving from the perilous ancient kingdom during exile, but also navigating the labyrinth that the Great Sage called 'impossible to break through', and in the previous years he had come up with a striking theory of magical compounds. caused a shock throughout the empire. ”

"Princess Tasia should also want to do something remarkable like her two older brothers. It is important to know that women are sometimes more interested in attracting the attention of others than men. ”

After saying so much, he turned the conversation to the task he had just accepted:

"However, Her Royal Highness has always kept a low profile, and there is no question of inheritance, so someone would want to assassinate her...... Whether domestic or foreign, the motives for doing so are difficult to understand. ”

"Isidore, you old thing. You shouldn't have said it all just now, right? ”

Boris snorted:

"Humph! I know you best, but your pupils contracted slightly when you checked the muzzle of the gun just now, and you noticed an unusual look, and you can't hide this kind of thing from me. ”

"Click!"

He picked up the pistol that was on the table, opened the chamber and looked at it. Then he closed one eye and aimed into the muzzle of the gun, and let out a surprised "huh".

"You know why I didn't tell you about it."

Isidor sighed:

"The situation is already tense at the moment, if you tell Princess Tasia about this discovery...... Her Royal Highness is a jealous and hateful type, and she will definitely go to settle accounts with the other party, and we will definitely be on her side when the time comes, which is tantamount to going to war against Leom. ”

- Sadara, Jophes, the Order of Truis, and a few other small nations and underground forces are spying on this place. Although the Empire has a strong military and has been sending a steady stream of support to the New World recently, it is still difficult to fight against so many enemies, and if we continue to fight internally......"

He shook his head and didn't continue.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen this mark."

Isidor touched the orange-yellow beard on his chin, his beard and hair were of this rare color:

"Daniel's bastard is very possessive, and anything he has will carve a unique mark on it, which is the trace of this crossover."

He drew an "X" in the air from top right to bottom left, and then from top left to right down, with the first stroke being shorter:

"Standard armaments are not allowed to be carved privately, so he put it in the muzzle of the gun in order to conceal it; Anyway, even if he is discovered, he can't shake his position, because that X is not a family crest, and it can't prove that this is an intention to rebel. ”

"It's a terrible hobby, but it's very manly, and it's different from his fat pig-like appearance."

Boris said with a banging of his mouth.

"Don't say he's a fat pig, or he'll hate you for a long time if he finds out." Isidor laughed.

"So let's be more realistic, is he an elephant? Hahaha......"

The old magician laughed too.

After the two laughed for a while, Isidor gasped:

"Actually...... When it comes to Daniel's penchant for making marks, it's not just about objects. He suddenly leaned his head nervously:

"He even carved these marks on his own women, some on his chest. Some are on the thighs, and some are carved directly into the ......"

At this time, the red-clothed female guard on the deck spat out: "It's really obscene!" ”

"Men are like that, nothing strange."

Princess Tasia put a small crystal earring back on her earlobe:

"Now that we've heard the information, let's go investigate."

Unlike the quiet and virtuous lady just now, her eyes became bright. Looks like a completely different person:

"Charlotte, do you think that if I suddenly appeared in front of that dead fat man dressed as my sister, would he suddenly collapse to the ground in fright? The more I think about it, the more interesting it gets......"

She couldn't wait to prop herself up on the railing, looked at the shore not far away, and said:

"Quick, let's go to that Leom City now, I don't know how it is compared to the imperial capital, is there a lot more fresh and interesting things?"

After Her Royal Highness the princess left, Isidor smiled bitterly at Boris:

"Looks like we guessed correctly, this is not Princess Tasia. It's the little princess who likes to poke Lou Zi the most. ”

"I used to be their magic mentor, and I am very familiar with the personalities and behavior characteristics of these two people, and I will never be mistaken."

Boris picked up the pistol and made a firing motion in his hand:

"The woman...... It's terrifying, or rather, the intelligence network she's assembled is so terrifying that almost nothing can be hidden from her eyes. ”

"But is it really okay for us to do this?" He put down his gun and said:

"The situation in the New World is already chaotic enough, and now let a little princess who loves to cause trouble stir things up. The consequences are beyond our control. ”

"We may not be able to, but she can."

Isidore pointed to the top of his head:

"Don't forget. What she has done over the years is not incredible, but the final result is exactly as expected; It's like the magic of time...... I wonder if she really saw what was going to happen in the future. ”

"I'm in the negative."

When it comes to magic-related things, the old magician's mind has always been stubborn: "Time magic is only a myth and legend, and even the gods cannot understand it...... But there's one more thing I want to figure out than that. ”

"What's the matter?"

Issido tasted the black tea, which was already a little cold, and asked with a frown.

Boris narrowed his eyes. In a very strange tone, he said to him:

"You said Daniel would carve a mark on his woman...... And it's all in unusually secret places, how do you know about this? ”

……

"This is the Imperial Mansion, and it is also the residence of the city lord, it is forbidden for ordinary citizens to trespass, leave quickly!"

Behind the government hall in the city of Leom. Three guards are trying to chase away two strange women.

"Charlotte, tell them if I'm a normal citizen."

The noble woman with the princess's hair on end said proudly.

"Keep your eyes open, this is Her Royal Highness Princess Tasia!"

The red-clothed female guard raised her eyebrows, pulled out a thin sword at her waist, and pointed at the three people in front of her:

"Why don't you hurry up and kneel down and salute?"

"Really...... It's Her Royal Highness the Princess! ”

Although these guards were not qualified to meet the princess herself, they had all seen the images of important people in the royal family, and immediately fell to one knee and bowed their heads in fear to the eldest princess of the empire.

"Go tell Daniel that I'm here to settle accounts with him!"

"Tasia," said the princess fiercely:

"Get him out of here and see me!"

"Yes, I'll go."

All three guards were stunned for a moment, two of them knelt on the ground and did not move, and one of them hesitated for a moment, quickly stood up, turned and ran back.

"Her Royal Highness the princess should be very tired from the long journey by sea, so I will go to the kitchen and give them an order to prepare afternoon tea and a large and comfortable room."

After the man was gone, one of the two guards who were kneeling on the ground said a respectful word, got up and hurried away.

"These guys are pretty polite."

The princess sat down at the flowerbed satisfied.

She was indeed exhausted...... Part of it is the fatigue of traveling, and the other part is because it is too hard to pack.

"I knew that pretending to be my sister was so tired, I might as well use my own name."

She rubbed her sore calves and muttered under her breath.

At this time, in the long corridor, the guard who said that he was going to report to the kitchen stopped his companion in front.

"Hey! Barnum, you've forgotten something important. ”

"What's the matter? I will hurry to report to the Duke that His Highness has arrived. ”

The guard who went first followed him behind a pillar with dissatisfaction.

"Say, what......" Before he could finish his words, his mouth was suddenly covered with a dead cover, and then he felt a sharp pain.

"You forgot to leave your life behind...... Barnum. ”

An indifferent voice rang in his ear.

The guard called Barnum twitched a few times in horror, and slowly lowered his head.

Until he lost his breath, he didn't know why he was killed by his companions.

"The opportunity that the Lord has been waiting for has finally arrived!"

The killer guard's eyes were full of excitement, and he quickly hid the body in a dense flower.

Then he put away his excited expression, his face became indifferent again, he turned his head to look around, lowered his hat and turned to walk in the other direction, until he walked out of the side door of the mansion.

-- There, the most elite guards of the entire Leaume are stationed...... And only Duke Daniel was loyal to him. (To be continued......)
