Chapter 405: Riyu Grass Eight, Assassination Succession
And just as Jiao Ming, like other forces, was watching the war between the Red Mountain Kingdom and the Tro Territory with the mentality of watching a playβor a farce. The kingdom unites the largest power in the territory, the Green Flame Kingdom, but something big happened. At a gathering of young talents, an explosion occurred, and only three of the two dozen people escaped for their lives.
When he first saw this news, Jiao Ming thought he was dazzled, did these guys who were about 20 years old grow up eating? There was no sense of safety at all? It wasn't until the follow-up more detailed news came that it suddenly became clear that the party was not fake, but it was not a serious party, and the content was summed up as two 'drugs' and 'messing around'.
"Living Ji-Yaga!" some kind of jealousy-like psychology was at work, Jiao Ming scolded loudly, and showed a relieved smile. However, the results of the investigation announced by the Green Flame Kingdom one after another made Jiao Ming unable to laugh anymore: not only did the family succession order of the two fire mages and the deceased rank ahead of Evan, but the murderer behind the explosion pointed directly to the Red Mountain Kingdom.
Excluding the peripheral lookout and the attendants on standby, the three people who escaped from the core room were: a six-ring qi system to cast spatial teleportation in time, a water-based six-ring magic warrior to resist damage, and a water-based five-ring demon who was excluded from the outermost area because he had just entered this circle.
According to the confessions of the three people, there was something more 'hi' than the Qingwu Elixir puree at this party, and in order to maintain the mystery, the leader decided to use space magic to teleport on the spot, so as not to use their own means to peek. But I didn't want to get through two rounds of appetizers, but what teleported was a big bomb.
Then the investigators did find the teleportation circle box and a batch of unknown magic addiction potions in the leader's room, apparently the person who knew about the matter used the method of 'dropping the bag' to commit the crime, following this clue to investigate, a second-ring qi system magician attendant entered the investigator's field of vision, and after getting up, it was a noble child of the Red Mountain Kingdom who was exiled.
The motive for the crime also quickly emerged, this noble son of the Hongshan Kingdom, as an aide to this group, was humiliated by this group of sons and brothers during another gathering three days ago because of the unfavorable war in the motherland, and left the table angrily. And if a helper throws his face at his son's buddy, there is naturally no possibility of returning to the circle, and it is entirely possible to retaliate against him.
And the 'reasonable', this son of exiled nobles from the Red Mountain Kingdom, whose name is Piak, is a huge suspect, and his whereabouts are now unknown.
Not to mention whether there is a conspiracy behind this matter, Jiao Ming is trying to recall the folklore of blood revenge in this world, and after confirming with Dieda, he understands that it is also common for magical noble families to start a war for this. After all, in the case of the importance of the mage's initial starting step, the family bloodline is not only a part of the family's strength, but also the foundation of the land and the title.
"Do you think the Green Flame Kingdom will join the war and fight with the Tro Leader?"
"My subordinates don't know. Dieda replied crisply. And with Dieda as a model, Luo Hua remembered that this was not a question that the maid should answer, put away the confused thinking appearance that could not solve the answer, and gave the same reply.
"Don't be so restrained, you know I'm not a pure nobleman. "Due to the recent change in mood, Jiao Ming tried his best to get rid of the involvement with Qingshui City, and even the relationship with Yisi was also estranged, so it was really difficult to ask this best candidate at this time. "Put yourself in their shoes, even guess. β
"If my child is in danger, I will do it desperately. Luo Hua said, clenching her little fists and taking care to avoid ominous words. However, this answer is clearly off-topic.
"My subordinates really don't know. However, his subordinates believe that the Green Flame Kingdom has already secretly participated in the war, after all, Tro Territory already has the background of the Green Flame Kingdom. At this time, it is only a matter of whether to jump to the front desk, and if you win and lose face, it is better to hide behind the Tro collar and be comfortable. β
However, this statement of Dieda has also been very popular recently, after all, Evan himself is one of the heirs of the McShaler family, and although the McShaler family is famous for its subordinate alchemist lineage, the highest noble title and the largest fief, it is in the Green Flame Kingdom.
Jiao Ming was noncommittal, but he asked in his heart whether the personality of the silent person had anything to do with the bombing. If not, it would be better, and if there were, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that simple. Unfortunately, to no avail.
However, Jiao Ming's idle days soon came to an end. Specifically, it can be described as 'sitting at home with nothing to do, and disaster comes from heaven'. Three days after the disappearance of two soldiers in the new army for no reason, they actually poked out a huge basket: assassinate the king!
At the launch of the wooden ship with a new power core, just as the king finished an impassioned speech and handed over his place to the representative of the Wizards' Guild, his ears shattered silently, followed by a gunshot. Unlike the time-consuming and laborious way of finding the shooting point and chasing the murderer on Earth, almost in an instant, one nine-ring, two eight-ring, three qi magicians teleported into place, captured the assassin on the spot, and captured both the stolen goods.
The ensuing interrogation process was lackluster, and it took almost half a day to find out the facts of the case. The two soldiers, one with three rings of fire and one with four rings of earth, were distant relatives of aristocratic families of craftsmen, and they did not know that the whole family was implicated in prison because of the closed training mechanism of the new army. This time I returned to Qingshui City to maintain law and order, only to learn that although the family was released, it was a pity that the old and young did not survive a few days under the serious injury, and the young brothers and sisters were the key care objects, and most of them died in prison.
The two originally prosperous side branch families have less than twenty still alive combined, and they are on the verge of a nervous breakdown because of their 'increased knowledge', especially a few cousins or nieces who are young to be married.
The weapons are also very simple, just modified ordinary new army guns, on the one hand, the rifling is refined by the gas magicians, and on the other hand, the earth magicians use condensation to strengthen the gun and extend the barrel. At the same time, the fire mage drank the stimulant potion of magic addiction, which more than tripled the power of the bullet's primer. It was a smooth increase in the firing range that more than doubled to more than 600 meters.
Finally, there is the bullet, and I don't know where these two heard about the magic of black powder, and stole some from the mining department of the ironworks and mixed it on the bullet, which produced a certain anti-space magic effect, and successfully broke through the arrow protection magic. Of course, in order to avoid affecting the effect of the speech, this layer of arrow protection magic is very light.
From this confession, it is inevitable that the group of family members who have just escaped the ghost gate will be arrested, and Jiao Ming also needs to hand over a large number of personnel to cooperate with the investigation. For example, the gas mage who refines rifling, the direct boss of the two, the manager of the mining department of the ironworks who lost the material, and even the suspect who leaks the effectiveness of the black powder.
It was not surprising when Jiao Ming saw the news of the assassination in the morning, saw the commissioner teleported from Qingshui City in the afternoon, and received the king's order. It's just that the previous few people, Jiao Ming, can still understand, thinking that if they ask for some favors from Yisi or the old woman of the Nine Rings, to protect them from the pain of flesh and skin, it is nothing. After all, I don't know about it, so it shouldn't be difficult to get away with it.
But in the end, the description of the suspect who leaked the effectiveness of the black powder is too vague, and even chills when you think about it. If you play freely and cooperate with the free mind, wouldn't you be able to trap Jiao Ming in it.
And when Jiao Ming was hesitating, the commissioner spoke in a high tone and rap-like speed, but unfortunately Jiao Ming couldn't understand.
"What are you talking about?"
Dieda hesitated for a moment, "Urge us to reply quickly." β
"Is this a harmonious and summed up?" Jiao Ming asked. After all, language and demeanor are also part of the information element of meaning, and the commissioner's nostrils are not like calmly saying something like 'please hurry'.
"Harmony?"
"Filter out unpleasant words. β
"Ugh. After all, she admitted, "You can understand it this way." β
"Tell him to give an answer tomorrow. β
Dieda translated according to her words, of course, she didn't forget to add some honorifics, but the words translated back were not satisfactory, "Please be sure to hand over all the suspects now, otherwise you will be taken ...... Force. β
In the end, Dieda's hesitation made Jiao Ming guess that the original text must not be a good thing, pursed his lips and made a secret note, and then frowned and became more and more sure that something was wrong: he may have underestimated the impact of this assassination in feudal society.
"For the time being, cooperate with him to arrest people, and I will go to Clear Water City to find Yisi to ask about the situation. β
Butterfly translated, and the commissioner's smug smile made Jiao Ming want to kick him in the face. But things obviously won't be so simple, when Jiao Ming got up to leave, this thing actually reached out to stop it. After some translation exchanges, Jiao Ming finally confirmed that this product really had the intention of involving himself.
"If I want to leave, what are you going to do?" sneered, Jiao Ming said. But seeing that Dieda hesitated and didn't know how to translate, he added: "Translate it directly, this product is not at all good, and there is no point in unilaterally maintaining face." β
Butterfly should be, and the waist board is also straight, after all, he has managed a large number of Central magicians, and he can hold it in terms of momentum. When the commissioner heard this, he laughed angrily, but there was also three points of undisguised surprise and secret joy that 'it was really so', and then waved his hand to signal the entourage behind him to move.
At this point, Jiao Ming suddenly felt a strong interference from qi magic, and as soon as he joined hands with the entourage who approached, he judged from his strength that this was a seven-ring water magic warrior.
Just a thought, Jiao Ming judged that it was a bad choice to be arrested, so deliberately involved and fully prepared for the arrest, the script behind would not be left empty. So there must be a rebellion.
But there is always a short distance between ideas and reality, Jiao Ming just used the blessing of the silver ring to send a message to Emily under the blockade of space, and he was defeated in the fight between three punches and two feet, and was smothered in the stomach by a punch.
... Can I help you?...
... Can you hit...
In the exclamations of Butterfly and Luohua, Jiao Ming was pressed to the ground, but there was such a conversation in his heart.
... I can't punch or kick either. Just to remind you, if you don't want Luohua and the others to suffer a tragedy, it's better to wake up the madman...
... So kind?...
Even in this case, the normal personality Jiao Ming still does not forget to doubt the personality of the silent person. The Silent personality, on the other hand, uses more straightforward words to increase persuasiveness.
... Now is a critical juncture, I think you see Luo Hua and others being wheeled with your own eyes*, it may produce unnecessary variables...
Jiao Ming, a normal personality, instantly soaked his back in a cold sweat, and saw the rest of his entourage walking towards Luo Hua and Dieda in the afterglow, and without hesitation, he shouted in his heart that he was a madman.
In the next moment, under the incredulous gaze of the magic warrior of the Seven Rings Water System, Jiao Ming disappeared out of thin air, leaving a little bit of flesh and clothing on the contact part.
"Dangdang, the first round is over, and now we move on to the second round. On the red side is an eight-ring air mage and a seven-ring water mage warrior. And, well, let me count, ten trash fish, oh no, seven. The madman personality talked nonsense, and by the way, when the rest of the people were stunned, he used the spatial crack to behead the three servants closest to Luohua.
Of course, the commissioner will not simply collapse because of the death of three subordinates, but just turn his head sideways with the two strong men and ask with his eyes, and the two strong men both shook their heads slightly and waited for the battle. Seeing this, the commissioner realized that something was wrong, and slowly retreated behind the two formers.
"Little beauty Luohua, remember to add food to the maid who cleans the study tonight, especially meat dishes. You know that the owner of your soft egg can't see blood, such as the pieces of flesh that fell in the cracks, and the blood stains soaked in the bookshelves......" Speaking of this, the madman personality waved his hands, and in the spatial interference of three points, he used the spatial crack to cut all the other highest-five ring followers except for the commissioner into large and small pieces," ...... It needs to be cleaned up carefully, which is a hard work. Otherwise, that guy might be scared to pee his pants when he works here at night in the future. β
The so-called 'connoisseur will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move', because the spatial crack will inhale air, which will form a subtle wind whistle, and due to the high humidity in the tropics, the fog condensed at the crack mouth is more obvious. At this time, Jiao Ming's small space can be described as dense as a spider's web, and the spatial cracks of this density and intensity make the seven-ring water system magic warrior dare not make a rash move for a while.
It's just a capture mission, and you can't really work hard.
And Luohua didn't pay attention to the madman's personality, and stretched out her arms to protect Dieda and the other maids in the study who had gathered over, and retreated to the corner together. It's not that I don't want to escape, but the door is blocked by the eight rings of the gas system, and the window is too high. Luohua dared to jump, but the rest of the maids who were just one or two rings of the water system and untrained did not dare.
"That's, that's you, the one who just spoke very arrogantly, it feels like you also have six rings, right? Everyone is six rings, how about getting close to each other first? While rubbing his wrists, the madman's personality was still not idle, and at the same time gave up control of the spatial rift, allowing them to be eliminated by the other party's qi eight rings. "He's instigated, what about the two of you? I'm really just six rings, at most three six rings, what are you afraid of? The things that are in the way are gone, come up and grab me, just when you pressed me to the ground......
Oh, you don't understand, do you? This is a big misunderstanding, who is the one who doesn't slip away, translate it to them. Original, dare to add a little saccharin and spice, and find someone to turn you. β
