Although the mastermind didn't catch it, Jiang Feng had already figured out what he should have figured out.

Before leaving, he continued to ask for a lot of valuable information from the captive.

The assassin who infiltrated the castle came from an organization called the Thieves' Guild, and as for the target of the assassination, it was different from Jiang Feng's initial guess, it was not Emily, but Miss Silita Gondal, who happened to be staying with Emily.

As for the motive for the assassination, although the level of the captive was not enough to understand the inside story, based on other information, Jiang Feng still guessed a rough idea.

According to the captive, the top of the Thieves' Guild were all followers of Lucius, the god of treachery and conspiracy, and according to previous speculation, Prince William, who led the rebels in the struggle for the throne, had the shadow of the forces of chaos behind him. The Gondal family, who have the blood of the human emperor, stand on the side of supporting the royal family, and Lucius's followers do have a motive to assassinate Miss Cilita.

The only thing that Jiang Feng couldn't understand was that he didn't hesitate to take the risk of sneaking into the heavily guarded Wang Castle just to get rid of a member of the Gondal family, from the perspective of benefits, would it be a little more than worth the loss?

By the time we got back to the castle, the dinner was over.

The riot that occurred in the atrium still affected the mood of the guests in the banquet hall to some extent, especially since the protagonists of the banquet had already left, which made many nobles who planned to curry favor with Jiang Feng at the banquet couldn't help but feel unhappy. After the banquet came to an end, he left the venue in a hurry.

When Jiang Feng got out of the car, there were no more carriages left that were still parked in the stables.

Prince Sai'an stepped forward and said to Jiang Feng in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry that this happened and frightened your apprentice. In the name of the House of Sereing, I assure you that the royal guards will bring those Assassins to justice and give you a satisfactory account. ”

Although he said this, Prince Saian actually knew very well in his heart that once these people escaped from the siege and interception of the guards, it was almost impossible to find them out, after all, they didn't know what the names of those assassins were or what they looked like.

However, Jiang Feng's answer made him stunned.

"There's no need to arrest," Jiang Feng continued in the face of Prince Sai'an's surprised gaze, "If you're interested in collecting the bodies of those people, you can send someone to the sewers under the Caines Bridge, which is the entrance to the Thieves' Guild in Valland City. With the exception of one Assassin named Aram who escaped, the rest have been cleared by me. ”

That understatement of cleanup made Prince Sai'an, who was standing opposite Jiang Feng, couldn't help but feel an inexplicable chill in his heart.

Considered to be the uncrowned king of the underground forces of Valland, the Thieves' Guild is not a cat or dog on the side of the road, and the royal family has tried to rectify the security of Valland City several times in the past half century, but they have always been helpless against this nail hidden in the shadows, and they can't even find them anywhere.

But now, this organization, which even the royal family has a headache for, has been erased by the wizard standing in front of him in such an understated way.

It's like just pinching a few ants to death......

Looking at Jiang Feng's back as he disappeared into the entrance of the castle's inner wall, it took a while for Prince Sai'an to recover from the shock.

"Is this the power of wizards......"

It's good that it's not his enemy......

After closing his eyes and muttering for a moment, Prince Saian opened his eyes and turned to the guard next to him to give orders.

"Go and call the Knight of Caselance."

"Yes!" In a sonorous reply, the guard turned and ran in the direction of the castle wall.

……

The tremor caused by the explosion of black powder could be clearly felt across the three streets, and for a while, the entire Valransi city area was jumped.

Thinking that there was an earthquake, nearby residents ran out of their houses one after another. Many people are in a hurry and don't even have time to change their clothes, so they wrap themselves in a sheet and fart. He stood on the street.

The city guards and guards of Warland, who arrived after hearing the news, quickly took control of the situation.

When it was discovered through inquiries to nearby residents that the previous tremor was not due to an earthquake, but from the sound of an explosion coming from the ground, the commander of the city defense army, Sarando, drew the long sword at his waist and personally led more than 200 soldiers into the sewers.

Following the marks left by an unknown person, Salando led the soldiers all the way forward, and quickly found the location of the center of the explosion.

When the soldiers armed with spears and short swords rushed through the broken wooden door and looked at the corpses in the place, everyone was stunned, even forgetting that they were here for the real purpose of investigating the cause of the explosion......

Standing at the stone table behind the ruins of the stone wall, Sarandor looked at the weapons on the shelves on both sides with a complicated expression. Judging from these distinctive equipment, the identities of the dead outside were already about to be revealed, especially after seeing the pattern in the center of the stone table, he was even more convinced of the guess in his heart.

This is the headquarters of the Warland Thieves' Guild.

It is a bit of an indescribable irony that the troubles that have plagued Valland for more than half a century have been solved in such a way.

At this time, the soldier in chain mail walked up behind Sarando.

"My lord, the identity of the deceased has been confirmed, and he is a member of the thieves' union. The middle-aged man in the bartender's uniform was 'Nightblade' Curion. ”

"Nightblade?" A hint of shock appeared between Sarando's eyebrows.

As the commander of the city defense army, he is naturally no stranger to this name that has not been taken off the wanted list at the city gate for many years. I still remember that I was just a small patrol leader at that time, and the murderous reputation of "Nightblade" spread through the streets of Valland City.

Armed with a scimitar, the Warland underground is known for its ferocious stabbing style. It is rumored that his own use of scimitars is not inferior to that of high-level swordsmen, and coupled with his skills in the field of assassination, even master swordsmen dare not take it lightly.

However, now, it is such an assassin with the martial arts of a berserker, but he has been cut in half by someone.

And judging from his stunned expression before he died, most of them didn't even have a chance to fight back.

Look at the thieves and assassins next to him, among them there are also notorious murderers, but at this moment they are neatly lying on the ground, and even the location of the wounds is almost the same. Even if it is a powerhouse at the level of a sword master, it is impossible for him to be so strong.

"Who the hell is ......" Sarando's voice trembled a little.

In fact, he already had the answer faintly in his heart.

There is only one type of person who can do this, except for the legendary heroes.

That's the wizard.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the stone room, and I saw a group of soldiers in silver armor appear at the door. The shiny breastplate was emblazoned with the royal coat of arms, and Sarandor recognized the identities of these people from afar.

The people of the royal palace?

Slightly stunned, Sarandor didn't dare to slack off, and took the initiative to step forward.

Glancing at the city defense chief who walked in front of him, the knight led by him spoke.

"You're Sarandor?"

"Exactly."

"That's just right, get out of here with your people and block off the neighborhood. From now on, it will be taken over by the Royal Guard, and no one is allowed to approach it at will. The knight said unceremoniously.

"It's not very proper, is it?" Sarandor hesitated.

"This is an order personally issued by His Royal Highness the Prince, do you still have any questions?" The knight looked at him with a sharp look.

"Nope." Sarandor hurriedly replied, "I'll do it,"

The royal guard rarely interfered in matters outside the court, except in the event of a serious incident.

Looking at the high-level leaders of the thieves' union who were killed on the ground, Sarandor faintly felt that the depth of the water behind this incident may be far beyond his imagination.
