Chapter 1046: Warning (3rd Update)
Alan sat in the room, bandaged and smelling of herbs. He had taken off the eternal guardian and wore only one coat. His coat was left open, allowing Nelly to change his medicine and heal his wounds. The bandages were stained with blood, and there were some unnatural dark patches in the blood, which were the phenomenon of the toxin being expelled. Eric's blood-colored daggers were impregnated with some kind of strong toxin, but Eren had drunk the blood of the king snake and was naturally resistant to the toxin. Coupled with the fact that the Heavenly Fire Source Force was overbearing and abnormal, after a day's rest, the poison in his body was basically cleaned up.
After returning from the Howling Forest yesterday, Clerk Graham and Arkham came to visit, but Alan turned him away on the pretext of resting. Today, though, Alan wanted to visit someone.
Arkham.
Eric's blood-red dagger was flipped in Eric in his hand, the daggers were originally a pair, but the other one was burned along with Eric by the Skyfire, and only this one was intact. The toxins on the dagger have been cleaned of Nari, and the dagger is beautifully crafted and has a dark red color throughout. There is blood flowing in the middle of the sight, and the dagger's blade has a subtle arc, which makes it more agile in turns. There is a golden pattern on the blade, which does not look like a gold wire embedded in the later period, but the original pattern on the material of the blade.
At this time, Nelly finished her work, and she blushed and tied the bandage into a dark knot, and then stood up. Just now she was half-kneeling beside the bed, almost sticking to Alan, and this ambiguous posture made Nelly's face hot. Now leaving Allen's side, but a little reluctant.
Alan put down the dagger, buttoned up his clothes and stood up and said, "Let people prepare the car, I will go to the General's Mansion." ”
Nelly left the room with an "um" sound.
Moments later, Alan got into a carriage. Regis and the twin knights accompanied them, and in the carriage, Milou and Mira were like two curious big girls, pointing at the scenery outside, smiling knowingly from time to time. The two are almost carved out of the same mold, sitting together is like looking in a mirror, and it is difficult to distinguish between them without being familiar with their features.
Regis was sullen, and the boy was so angry about what had happened that he swore never to drink again. It seems that the experience of drinking for the first time left a big shadow on him. Alan squinted, and suddenly slapped Regers on the thigh hard, and the boy was startled, almost jumping up, and then frowned: "What are you doing!" ”
"What did I just ask you?" Alan said to the twin sister Nunu in the opposite seat, "You see two such beautiful girls sitting opposite, it's rude for you to ignore them." ”
Milou and Mira chuckled, both of them about the same age as Regess. During the previous trip, he and Regers got along quite well. From the strangeness when they first met to the present, the three have become friends. On weekdays, the young heart is always easy to mingle. But today Regers was depressed, so he was naturally silent all the way. Now hearing Alan say this, he couldn't help but turn his face and say, "I'm not as heartless as you." ”
Alan tapped him on the head and said, "I guess I learned it from Adele." ”
The two sisters chuckled again when they saw Regers touching his head and teething.
Eren reached out and grabbed Regess's head and said, "Please, how old are you this year, don't be sentimental like an old man." You should be glad you're still alive, otherwise you wouldn't have seen such a beautiful girl as Mirumira. Yes, we sacrificed a lot of people. But if you feel ashamed of them, then you have to live well, otherwise it will be a waste of their sacrifice, right? ”
"Also, it's because we're alive that we can do more. For example, now, I'm going to find someone to do the math of this. So you see, these things can only be done by us who are alive. If they are all as depressed as you are, then who will ask for an explanation for those who have died. Alan let go of him and said, "If you can't pull yourself together, then you can go back for me." ”
Regis gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think! ”
"That's right. Oh, it's here. Come on, brother. Alan jumped out of the carriage and looked up at the gate of the General's Mansion.
This time, Arkham didn't meet Alan in the arena, and an officer led them to the lobby of the main building. A moment later, the Grand General Arkham came to the living room. Seeing Alan Arkham, he said nonchalantly, "Sir Alan is back." ”
"Does the general want me not to come back?" Alan asked with a smile.
Arkham's eyes lit up: "What do you mean by that?" ”
"It's nothing, just casually." Alan raised his hand, and behind him, Mira handed Eric the dagger. Alan put it on the table again and asked, "I want to ask the general to see what this is." ”
The officer of the Xiongjia Army put the dagger in front of Arkham's table, Arkham glanced at it, the corner of his eye twitched, and said lightly: "Sir Alan has found the wrong person, right?" I ask myself if I'm good at leading troops into battle, but when it comes to weapons identification, then I'm a layman. ”
"I see. I think this dagger is so special, and the material is even rarer. General, if I go to an appraiser at an auction house in the city, will I be able to identify the origin of this weapon? ”
Arkham narrowed his eyes, and the officer next to him coughed lightly, "This seems to be one of the two blades of Scarlet Blade, which is the weapon of the Earl of Tiger Shark Harbor." ”
Alan nodded, "There is finally someone who knows the goods, so the general wants to know where I got this Scarlet Dagger." ”
Arkham said in a deep voice: "Okay, Viscount Allen can say whatever you want, no need to beat around the bush." ”
"Okay, since the general is so simple, then I'm not afraid to say it directly." Alan stood up and reached out to catch it, and the crimson blade on Arkham's desk jumped into his hand. Alan turned Crimson lightly and said, "Yesterday in the Howling Forest, I bumped into Earl Eric, the Bloody Earl, and he also admitted it himself. What happened to my people in the city, and the death of the trembling serpent, had something to do with it. And all of this is a killing game set against me. Luckily, I was lucky enough to come back alive. After I came back, I had a few questions that I couldn't figure out, so I wanted to ask the general for advice. ”
Arkham snorted, "I can't help you. ”
"General, don't be too busy refusing, maybe you can really help me." Alan raised a finger and said lightly: "The territory of the Bloody Earl is in Tiger Shark Harbor, but he appeared in Motheol. A powerful earl crossed the border, and the general would not know? ”
"Fart, where is he going Eric, does Lao Tzu have to follow like a fart, how do I know he's going to come to Motheor!"
"Isn't it child's play for the general to say that? Even I know that it is not a trivial matter for a strong person to cross the border, so don't the imperial generals know this truth. Well, even if I take 10,000 steps back, I'll be a general and I really don't know Eric's whereabouts. Now that this question has been revealed, then I will ask the general a second question. The Green Algae Hotel was manned by the Bears Armor Army when I went to the Howling Forest, but even so, one of Eric's men easily took my woman out of the hotel and used it to threaten me. Allen asked sharply: "How can the general explain this matter!" ”
"What do you mean!" Arkham finally got up and said, "Viscount Allen, are you suspecting that I have a relationship with Eric?" ”
"That's right, if that's not the case, why would the Xiongjia Army be useless. Are you going to tell me that the elite of the empire can't even look down on a woman! "Allen is-for-tat.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became full of gunpowder, and Arkham's short hair stood on end, and his eyes were round. Alan did not show weakness, and his vision was as sharp as electricity. After a while, Arkham snorted coldly: "No matter what you think, Lao Tzu and Eric have nothing to do with each other. You can doubt as much as you like, send off! ”
Alan laughed: "Actually, this matter is not difficult to investigate, if I were Eric, if I wanted to use the general to deal with me together, the general probably wouldn't buy his account." The most likely thing about Eric, then, is that the general will let him do things cheaply, such as not going into the depths of what happened in Mothor Orry, or letting his people leave the hotel easily. Of course, I'm sure the general won't sell Eric this favor in a few words, so our count must have given the general some benefits. So just check the Earl's recent asset changes, and you can probably see some signs, you say so, respected General Arkham? ”
"You're slandering an Imperial General!" Arkham roared.
"It's not slander, it's just reasonable speculation. Of course, I will investigate and test my inferences. Alan said indifferently: "What I want to tell you is, General Arkham. Whoever it is, if he wants to deal with me, he has to be prepared to be countered by me. Eric is an example of this, and there will be more such examples in the future. I sincerely hope that the general will not be one of those examples. ”
Gesturing, Eren led Regis and the others away. The majesty of the back made the corners of Arkham's eyes twitch. After Eren left, Arkham roared in the living room, and the sound of a string of objects shattering.
On the way back, Alan sat in the carriage and played with Scarlet Blade, and he smiled, "Arkham must be angry now." ”
Regis frowned, "Are you sure he has a part in this?" ”
"I'm not sure, but Arkham is definitely not a small suspect. Without his nod, Eric would have had a hard time doing whatever he wanted in Mothor Orry. Of course, like I said, it's just speculation now, and we don't have any real evidence. But for Arkham, and even some people in the Imperial Army, I think that's enough to warn them. ”
On this day, Eric's body and the Scarlet Dagger were delivered to the sheriff Motherol, who summoned Graham with a sad face, and Graham reported the matter to Mr. Mayor. After a walk in their hands, Eric quickly spread the word that Motheol had failed to deal with Eren and instead cost his own life, and spread throughout the empire.
