It was already about six o'clock in the morning when Buchen returned to the coalition camp, and although it was still dark, most of the soldiers in the camp where he was now staying had already woken up, and they walked out of the tent under the leadership of the junior officers, lined up in line, and after a brief roll call, they began a new day of battlefield life.

Because they often had to pass by them, they could see the flaws, so they found a corner, took off the unreliable invisibility cloak, folded it and tucked it into the placket of the robe. Then he pretended to be an early morning and walked around to his tent, and the soldiers were not very surprised to see him, and when they passed him, they hammered his breastplate and saluted, and at this time, the retainers would smile and nod to them.

In a short time, he was back in front of his tent. But just when he thought he was in no danger, a voice poured cold water on his head and threw him into the ice cave.

"Where have you been?"

Logan Trancy sat in Buchen's tent, and asked aloud after Buchen came in with the curtain open, his voice faint, not the slightest hint of joy or anger.

"Logan?" Buchen tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, and looked at Trancy with a surprised expression, "Why are you here?" ”

"Where have you been?" Logan didn't answer him, just repeated his question with a blank face.

Buchen laughed dryly: "I went out to patrol the camp just now." ”

"Enough, don't pretend!" Logan Trancy slammed the table next to him, stood up, and drew his sword, "You're not Sean Sterling!" You're an assassin! ”

Originally, he was going to challenge Buchen at yesterday's banquet, but at that time he was not very sure about his inference, and as soon as he remembered his friendship with Sean Sterling in the past, he was very hesitant, if his inference at that time was wrong, this Sean Sterling was indeed true, then their friendship for so many years would disappear, which made him jealous, so he endured it, and planned to take a closer look before making a decision.

It's just that he didn't expect that when he sneaked into Buchen's temporary camp at three o'clock in the morning and spied on Buchen's tent, he found that it was already empty, and he was so angry that he simply stayed in the tent to break Buchen's lie on the spot!

In fact, his choice is not smart, if he finds out that Buchen is not in the account, he goes directly to report to the kings, and then says his inference yesterday, then Buchen will inevitably be exposed, and it is likely that he will be ambushed by the plan, in that case, Buchen will probably give away his life......

"I'm an Assassin?!" Buchen yelled at himself in his heart that he couldn't mess around, he had to be calm, he smiled bitterly, walked to the wooden table, moved a chair and sat down.

"Logan, you're thinking wrong."

Trancy ignored his performance and pointed his sword at him, "Stop acting, you're already exposed!" Now honestly explain everything, I can still give you a whole corpse, otherwise, those guys hanging on the wall of the wall are your example! ”

Buchen's expression did not move, and he didn't mean to be honest at all, but asked Trancy a question: "Logan, do you remember the 'water ghost incident' back then?" ”

"Water Ghost...... Event?!" Logan Trancy's eyes widened suddenly.

"yes~! It's been almost 30 years, right? Buchen's face showed a look of remembrance.

"In the middle of summer that year, we were swimming in the mirror lake north of the city of Sycred, and we were swimming happily, but you suddenly sank into the water as if you were being dragged by something, I went to save you, but I didn't expect to be caught by that thing, just when my life was at stake, it was I who pulled out the short dagger on my waist and cut off the hand of that thing, and we were able to escape, but..."

Trancy continued with a dull gaze: "It's just that on our feet and necks, it has left a mark that will never disappear." ”

In front of Tracy, Buchen took off his boots and displayed the position that had been caught by the water ghost in front of him.

Buchen's feet and neck have a hideous palm print!

That's caused by "water ghosts", or "fish people"!

In his previous life, Buchen had heard a lot of legends about "water ghosts", among which it was said that "water ghosts" were ghosts, saying that people who had drowned in the past were looking for a substitute; It is also said that the "water ghost" is a platypus. Buchen didn't know which statement was true, because he had never encountered anything like this.

In this world, regardless of the eastern and western continents, water ghosts specifically refer to "fish people". This kind of intelligent life living in the water is incompatible with humans, and is even more acute than the contradiction between humans and orcs, because orcs can still communicate, and fishmen?

They don't even have vocal organs, so how can they communicate?!

Humans only know that the fish-people hate them, and they also see the fish-people as a threat, and between them, there is only you who lives and dies.

Sean Sterling cut off the arm of a fish-man, but Shaun and Logan, who were still very short-sighted at the time, did not know that the fish-men were a race of revenge, and after the crisis passed, they swam back to shore in embarrassment, took a breath, and fled back to the city, without mentioning it to anyone.

It was only three days later, when they heard that a village by the Mirror Lake had been slaughtered and all the humans had been eaten to their bones, that they realized what a mistake they had made - they should have reported it to the Quds authorities as soon as they found the fish-people!

Fearing accountability, they have since kept the matter in their hearts and have not mentioned it to anyone since, until today.

This is the most unbearable memory in their hearts, and at the same time, it is also the deepest secret.

"Logan, still don't you believe me?" Buchen asked lightly.

"You ......," Logan Trancidon embarrassed, "I ...... I'm wrong about you! It's just that...... But what the hell did you just do? ”

Bu Chen's face did not change and said the nonsense he had just made: "I'm looking for an assassin." ”

"Looking for an assassin?"

"That's right, the assassin must have come at night, we are heavily guarded during the day, and he can't get close, so if you want to catch him before he makes a move, you must take the initiative."

"But that's too dangerous, isn't it? You must know that he is a guy who can kill five brilliant generals in a row, and his strength is comparable to that of the elven god of war Minas! ”

Buchen smiled and shook his head, "In order to avenge my king, why should I regret this?" ”

Trancy was silent.

For these knights, the assassination of their own king is a lifelong shame!

Ask yourself, what would have happened to him if Antonio, King of Transliteria, had been assassinated?

With his character, eighty percent will be even crazier than Sean at the moment, right?

This has nothing to do with the king's foolishness, only with the dignity of the knights.

"I see, Sean, I hope you don't blame me!" Trancy glanced at Buchen with some fear, this is what he is most afraid of - his own judgment is wrong, and the friendship is ruined! I didn't expect this to happen now.

Buchen smiled bitterly, waved his hand, and said generously: "It's okay, Logan." After all, you're loyal to your duties! If you don't, I'll find it weird. ”

Logan Trancy let out a long breath and said with a dry smile, "It's not because you behaved too badly yesterday. ”

Buchen shook his head and said in a seemingly meaningful tone: "Logan, time can change people!" ”

Tracy sighed, didn't ask any more, and looked at Buchen's appearance, knowing that he had not had a smooth ride over the years, and he must have suffered a lot of setbacks.

He is also a dead eye, and it is very normal for people to be polished by time and reality, but he always thinks that Sean Sterling will be different.

And this paranoia almost ruined their friendship.

But can Sterling, who has become sleek, really be the friend he remembers?

Logan shook his head, he didn't know, and he wasn't interested in thinking about it, so he chatted with Buchen casually and left.

Looking at his somewhat lonely back, Buchen put his heart back in his stomach.

This level has finally passed......

Two days later, the first batch of paper ball bombs, which had been named "The Gospel of the Goddess", produced by the artisan battalion of the Duchy of Abramo, were enthusiastically sought after by the aristocracy. Although the ball was repeatedly enlarged and filled with more gunpowder due to the fact that "the craftsmen's craftsmanship was not up to par", its sound and light effects still opened the eyes of all the nobles.

Regardless of the power of the gunpowder, a large ball explosion is always much better than a small ball explosion.

That night, Buchen sneaked back to Jim's Tavern again, brought the real bomb ball that had been made back to the Eight-Nation Alliance's camp, and infiltrated the artisan camp of the Duchy of Abramo at night, mixing the bomb into the "Gospel of the Goddess" ball to be used at the banquet the next day......

The end of the Eight Kings is coming.
