Chapter 3 - The Assassination of Valhalla
"The news of the emergence of another super-interstellar civilization, I think everyone knows," Prince Toventden got straight to the point, "Every time a super-interstellar civilization appears, it means opportunities and risks, and this time is no surprise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Everyone also knows that the cooperation between the Tosenck and the Deep Blue has always been closer, while we Celts have been isolated, if this newly discovered unknown civilization chooses peace, we can seize this opportunity to turn the situation around us and the Deep Blue! ”
"So I propose that now we immediately shift the focus of our strategy to the development of relations with unknown civilizations. Let me tell you what you think. ”
"Prince Toventden, we don't even know the specifics of this civilization now, wouldn't it be bad to make an arrangement rashly? I think we'll wait for the Covenant's emissary to bring back the details. Prince Skyler said.
"Skyler, don't wait for me, when the specific situation comes out, the Deep Blue and the Tosenk people will definitely react, then we will lose the opportunity, but if we send the messenger now, then we will be much faster than their people, believe me, the Deep Blue and the Tosenk people's desire for a new civilization must not be as strong as ours, this is our advantage!"
The crowd pondered in silence. After a while, Prince Crito said, "In that case, who do you think we should send to be this messenger?" ”
"Lieutenant General Mitelan," Prince Toventden smiled slightly, pointing to Mitelan, who was sitting at the end of the conference table and had been silent, "Lieutenant General Mittalan has always admired the art of diplomacy, not long ago he went to the pirate harbor, obtained the space storage technology from the hands of the White Devil, and successfully rescued Jiang Xiu, so I believe that he will be competent for this mission!" ”
Mitellan bowed slightly, and said: "Prince Toventden praises falsely, and his subordinates must do their best to repay the prince's kindness." ”
Toventon nodded appreciatively, then glanced at the crowd and said, "Do you have any differences?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and then said in unison, "Agreed." ”
"Very well, now let's discuss the staffing of the mission."
……
At the same time, in all corners of the Star Alliance, countless forces are discussing countermeasures for the emergence of unknown civilizations, and an undercurrent gradually swept through the entire Star Alliance.
……
Jiang Xiu walked on the way back to the hotel, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, he could basically determine the identity of the old man just now, although the masters in Valhalla City were like clouds, but they could be as aura as the sea like that old man, and the weight lifting was definitely not in the majority, coupled with the golden forehead crystal in his heart that showed a noble bloodline and was as dazzling as the sun, in addition to the head of the family of Toventden, the chief consul of the contemporary Lun Domain, Jiang Xiu couldn't think of a second person.
Jiang Xiu's brows furrowed slightly, he was thinking about the meaning of Prince Toventden personally coming to find him, it stands to reason that even if he once shined at the Lunyu Academy Exchange Conference, even if he had the identity of the only great master disciple of the contemporary Star Alliance, in the eyes of the supreme power of the Star Alliance, he was still just an insignificant little person, and Prince Toventden couldn't come to see him.
He didn't believe that it was such a coincidence, on the first day he came to Valhalla, he happened to meet a big man who rarely appeared in front of people, since he could meet in front of Valhalla, Prince Teventden must have come prepared, but what was the purpose of his coming?
Jiang Xiu recalled Prince Toventden's every move, and a trace of absurdity flashed in his heart, he always felt that Prince Toventden looked at him with an indescribable kindness, but Jiang Xiu was sure that he had indeed not seen him, otherwise it would never be impressed.
Jiang Xiu fell into deep thought......
Suddenly, Jiang Xiu's face turned pale, his figure suddenly shifted to the left, and a cold black light silently hit the place where Jiang Xiu was standing, the heavy marble floor was instantly shattered, Jiang Xiu's left arm was also slightly rubbed, and the white robe was dyed red with blood, but it failed to make Jiang Xiu's brows wrinkle.
The awe-inspiring momentum overflowed from Jiang Xiu's body, and [Shocking] [Ren Cut] instantly emerged, Jiang Xiu's legs bent slightly, and then kicked suddenly, like a sharp arrow, and suddenly shot at a thousand-year-old tree on the side of the street.
The golden sword light and sword shadow floated, with a murderous aura, swinging a golden curtain composed of swords.
Fourth-Order Secret Technique [Four Likes, Eight Fans]!
A cyan barrier suddenly floated, the golden light collided with the blue light, the blue light shattered, and the killer behind the blue light didn't even let out a scream, and was swept by a missing golden light, and the great head rose to the sky, and the headless corpse fell to the ground with a bang, and blood flowed sideways on the white marble floor.
Not far away, Jiang Xiu held a sword in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, looking at this corpse coldly, with a cold look in his eyes.
A fifth-order killer, if normal, with Jiang Xiu's strength of the third order, he should be far from his opponent, but he never expected that Jiang Xiu's hand was the legendary [Yan San Gild], coupled with the fourth-order secret technique [Four Like Eight Fans], the killer had not even weighed a round in Jiang Xiu's hands, and he had already died!
Not long after, the sound of breaking the sky came from the sky, and a team of guards guarding the city landed at the place where the killer ambushed Jiang Xiu, and a middle-aged commander led by him had an ugly face and took the lead towards Jiang Xiu.
"Mr. Jiang Xiu, are you okay?" The middle-aged commander walked up to Jiang Xiu, bowed slightly, and accurately called out Jiang Xiu's name. Every visitor to Valhalla will have a backup in Valhalla, and every defender of the city needs to remember the VIPs who came to the city that day, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Therefore, the middle-aged commander could see Jiang Xiu's identity at a glance.
Jiang Xiu shook his head, and with words in his mouth, a white light gradually rose from the Yao Fang of his left hand, enveloping the wound on his left arm, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon returned to its original state.
Third-Order Healing Star Emblem [Healing Prayer]
After healing the wounds on his body, Jiang Xiu glanced at the corpse on the ground and said, "I'm fine, but I have to trouble you to help me identify the identity of the killer and see if it's from the city." ”
"It's nature." The middle-aged commander walked over to the head that had rolled to the side, and picked up a protective mask, revealing the face of a pale middle-aged man.
When the middle-aged commander saw the killer's face, his brows suddenly furrowed, he pondered for a moment, turned around and said to Jiang Xiu: "Mr. Jiang Xiu, I can't be the master of this matter, I need to ask my superiors, and please go back to the hotel first, wait for the news, I will send a guard to escort you back." Rest assured, we will give you a satisfactory answer. ”
Jiang Xiu raised his eyebrows, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, but he didn't make it difficult for the middle-aged commander, nodded and said, "Okay, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer as soon as possible." ”
"Definitely!" Seeing that Jiang Xiu was not entangled, the middle-aged commander secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully.
Jiang Xiu didn't stay any longer, turned around and left.
Seeing Jiang Xiu's figure gradually walking away, the middle-aged commander waved his hand, signaled his guards to wrap up the body, carried it into the patrol car, and then galloped towards the nearest Public Security Bureau.
……
In less than a day, the news of the assassination incident in Valhalla has spread throughout the entire Guangfu Star, and even alarmed the high-level of Celtic, you know, dare to carry out assassinations in Valhalla unscrupulously, this is a vicious incident that has not been seen for many years, Valhalla has not always been known for its strict defense, and everyone who comes to Valhalla will be subject to strict identity checks to ensure the safety of Valhalla.
You must know that the people who can enter Valhalla City are either Celtic magnates or talents who are well-known in the Star Alliance, even those high-level leaders of other star fields can only live in the periphery of Valhalla, if Chen An does not settle in Qi'an Star, the high-level Celtic clan wants to curry favor with Chen An, Jiang Xiu will not have the right to live in Celtic's soul land - Valhalla.
In the council hall of Valhalla, many Celtic high-level executives who had just finished the meeting gathered here again, and everyone's faces were not good, especially Prince Crito's face was the worst.
As soon as the matter of visiting an unknown civilization was discussed, and everyone in the council hall was just about to end and go back to arrange matters, a city guard officer hurriedly walked into the council hall and whispered a few words in Prince Toventden's ear, and Prince Toventden's face suddenly changed: "Everyone, wait a minute, there is an emergency here. ”
Prince Toventden paused for a moment and glanced at Prince Crito coldly: "The news just came that Master Chen's disciple was assassinated in Valhalla City!" ”
"What!" The faces of many Celtic high-level officials changed suddenly, this is a very serious matter, not to mention Jiang Xiu's sensitive identity, you must know that the killer can assassinate Jiang Xiu, and naturally he can assassinate everyone present, but not everyone has the strength of Prince Toventden, and the strength of many civilian generals is only about the sixth order, and it is very likely that they will fall into the enemy's way when they are caught off guard.
"How is Jiang Xiu doing now?" Prince Skylle frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"Jiang Xiu has nothing to do, he has already killed the killer." Prince Teventden said.
"Killed?" Prince Skyle's expression was relieved, and then a trace of doubt appeared on his face, "Who is the killer?" ”
This is a very strange thing, since he has the strength to organize an assassination in Valhalla City, how should he send a killer who can kill Jiang Xiu without fail, how could he be killed by Jiang Xiu instead, this person in charge is too careless.
Toventden looked at Prince Crito coldly and said, "This killer Prince Crito may be more familiar, his name is Eli, and he is the personal guard of Brian, the second heir to the Crito family. ”
"What!?" Prince Crito had a bad premonition in his heart just now, and now that he heard that the killer was actually the personal guard of the second in line to the heir of the family, his face suddenly turned pale, "Prince Toventden, you are not wrong?" ”
Prince Teventden snorted coldly and said, "Colonel Eric, you can confirm it to Prince Crito." ”
"Yes!" Colonel Eric, the city guard officer standing behind Prince Teventden, said cleanly, "Just now, the technicians of our city guard have already determined, and the killer is indeed the fifth-order star master Ellay!" This is the appraisal report. ”
As he spoke, Colonel Eric held up Yao Fang, and a light screen popped up, on which were the images of Alley before his death and the images of the headless corpse killed by Jiang Xiu, and there was also a genetic identification made by experts next to him, which confirmed the identity of the killer in any way.
Prince Teventden said coldly: "Prince Crito, can you explain to me what the situation is, why did the personal guards of your family's heir go to assassinate Jiang Xiu, do you know how serious this matter would be if Jiang Xiu died in Valhalla?" ”
The corners of Prince Crito's eyes twitched, he was cut in front of so many people, it was the first time for Prince Crito, even if the other party was Prince Teventden, who was slightly higher than him, Prince Crito felt unacceptable, but the assassination of Jiang Xiu in Valhalla City did have something to do with his family, which made him unable to say that he was suffering.
Moreover, as we all know, Brian, the heir of his family, has always had a gap with Jiang Xiu, although Prince Crito once warned Brian not to trouble Jiang Xiu in the future, but outsiders will definitely not think so, they will definitely think that Brian instructed the personal guards to take revenge.
In the middle of the night, Prince Crito opened the Yao Fang with a pale face, dialed a number, and rang twice, and a young man's voice sounded: "Head of the family, what ......?"
"Brian, come me to the council hall!" Prince Crito suppressed his anger and, with that, shut off the communication.
Prince Teventden snorted coldly, turned to Colonel Eric and said, "Colonel Eric, your city guards have an unshirkable responsibility for Jiang Xiu's assassination in Valhalla, you can take the blame and resign, and then come to my mansion to get an errand." ”
Colonel Eric finally had a hint of joy on his mother's face as if he was dead, such a big thing happened, no matter who the killer was, the responsibility of the city guard was absolutely great, Colonel Eric thought that he would not be able to escape this time, who knew that the willows and flowers were bright and another village, Prince Toventden actually did not punish himself heavily, but let himself go to his mansion to receive an errand, which is definitely a great joy.
Colonel Eric said respectfully, "Prince Xie is merciful. ”
"There's nothing for you here, you can step down first." Prince Teventden waved his hand and motioned for him to stand aside.
"Yes." Colonel Eric bowed and retreated.
Prince Toventden closed his eyes and didn't speak, obviously wanting to wait for Brian to come before dealing with it, and for a while, the entire council hall except for Prince Crito and Prince Teventden was silent, everyone else was whispering to acquaintances, such a big thing happened, someone would definitely take responsibility in the end, and this person, nine times out of ten, would be Brian of the Crito family.
After a while, a young man hurriedly pushed the door open, and it was Brian, who had arrived in a hurry. (To be continued.) )
