Chapter Eighty-Four: Enemies
Kane got up very late that day, or Feng Heng slept very late, mainly because he was dragged by Ren Yan to drink until the night before letting him go back, the reason was to celebrate his promotion to the elder, Feng Heng couldn't find the words to refuse, so he could only accompany him to drink, but fortunately, he gradually discovered that alcohol did not affect his perception, so he had no scruples.
In the past two days, Kane has been very leisurely, either chatting with a few elite houses every day, or visiting Furui City.
In fact, he has returned to normal now, but it is rare to take a vacation, so he simply plays for two more days, anyway, the practice is not a matter of one or two days, but Kane also knows in his heart, thinking that he will go to Simir tomorrow to continue the class.
When I went downstairs, I saw James sitting alone on the sofa, his brows furrowed together as if he was thinking about something.
"Your Highness, morning. Kane said hello and wanted to go out.
Unexpectedly, James stopped him, "Where are you going?"
"Oh, just hang out. ”
James looked at him a few times, "Did you know something big happened last night?"
Kane shook his head in disknowledgement.
"Haven't you heard of the assassination of Duke Jean?" said James, solemnly.
"Duke Jean?" Kane was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, "Then His Highness should be happy, after all, it is said that he is from His Highness's side." ”
Duke Jean's full name is Gene Charles, and he is currently a pivotal figure in the Empire, in addition to being a Duke, he is now in charge of the Empire's military affairs, and is very close to the King on weekdays, and is one of the most powerful supporters of the Grand Prince Victor.
The Charles family is even more behemoth, their family has produced a total of three kings (imperial prime ministers), has assisted six kings, is one of the oldest families in the empire, and because of this, the Charles family has always won the trust of the king.
But Duke Jean is not currently the patriarch of the Charles family, the current patriarch is his father, Hubert Charles, the previous Hand of the King, who has retired from politics, and is now known as Charles Sr.
James listened to Kane's words, but his face was a little bitter, "If it was really what I did, it would be good, the problem is that I didn't do it, and now I have to bear unwarranted criticism." ”
Seeing this, Kane could only walk over and sit down, and poured himself a glass of wine, "Is he dead?"
James shook his head, "No, I heard that the assassin lost his crosshairs during the fight and only hit him in the shoulder, although the arrow was poisonous, but fortunately, there was a priest in Duke Jean's personal guard, and he was treated in a hurry." ”
"Did the assassin catch it?"
James smiled, "If you get caught, there will be no criticism." ”
Kane frowned, "Where was he stabbed?"
"On the way back to the Duke's Palace from the palace, next to the large pool on Moon Street, it is said that the assassin suddenly jumped out of the pool, and he was very skilled in both martial arts and assassination. ”
"Clever?" Kane shook his head, "If it's really Clever, then Duke Jean might be dead, unless... His purpose was to wound the Duke of Jean, not kill him. ”
"And what is he doing this for? is it just to make people suspect me?" James slapped the table with some exasperation.
"I don't know much about this, after all, I know very little about the affairs of the country, but I think it's better not to act rashly now, this matter may be just the beginning, if they really want to embarrass you, seeing that you don't move, they will inevitably do something else, but I feel that this thing is not very like His Highness did, think about it, if the truth is revealed in the future, then he is equivalent to giving you a strong backing, which is tantamount to *, I think he shouldn't be so stupid. ”
James nodded thoughtfully, and began to think about something again.
"You sit down, I'll go out for a walk. Kane spoke, took a sip of the wine in his glass and got up to go out, James didn't say a word.
As soon as Kane left the school gate, he found that the atmosphere of Furui City today was obviously different from the past, there were many more city patrol guards on the street, this was a noble area, and there were more people standing guards, all with serious faces, and even pedestrians were infected.
Kane naturally understands that after all, the assassination last night was a big man in the empire, and no matter what the effect of capturing the assassin and strengthening the garrison is, it still needs to be done, which is the so-called politics.
But all this has nothing to do with him, there is a school emblem and a family emblem, and no one who is not open-eyed will come to trouble him.
Kane has almost visited this Furui City in the past few days, and has figured out where there is good food and fun, and he is a little hungry at this time, thinking about going to a restaurant in the city to eat something first, although there is also a canteen in the academy, but after all, it cannot be compared with the food outside, and anyone with a little status is not eating in it.
Of course, this phenomenon is also Kane only discovered in recent days, thinking about the daily cafeteria when he was in class with Himir before, he suddenly felt a little depressed for a while, although Kane didn't care about those hypocritical reputations, but to be honest, the food there was really bad enough, and only people like Himir who didn't understand life at all wouldn't care.
While Kane was walking, he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him, looked up, and saw a group of people standing in front of him, took a closer look, and hurriedly quickened his pace and walked over.
The two groups in front of them were facing each other, the sergeants of Fury City on one side and four people Kane knew on the other.
"We're really here for someone, I'm a sheriff, and that's my badge. One of them said.
The sergeant on the opposite side took his badge and looked at it, and threw it casually, "A few hillbillies have also come here to show their prestige, and they don't look at what place this is, according to the laws of the imperial capital, you have already crossed the line, if you don't retreat, then go to prison for two days!"
"You!!" The man on the other side suddenly became angry, and pulled out a worn-out long sword on his body with a 'bang', "You can insult me, but you can't insult my honor! Pick up my badge, or else..."
"How else?" the sergeant interrupted him, smiling contemptuously, "It's honorable, and I'll be with you if you want to fight." ”
After speaking, he suddenly said with a serious face: "I suspect that the four of you have something to do with last night's assassination, come here!
When the sergeant heard this, he drew his weapon and was about to do it.
"Wait!" suddenly a loud shout came, and the two groups of people immediately paused and looked at each other.
Naturally, Kane came, and three of the four people opposite him were the sheriffs of Yongge Forest Town, and the other was Sala, and the four of them came to him.
"My lord!" the sheriff called out when he saw him coming, and his eyes showed surprise.
"It's you!" the patrol officer was also stunned when he saw Kane.
Kane couldn't help but take a closer look when he heard him say that, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be an old acquaintance." ”
Coincidentally, this officer was the one who tried to grab Jerry's gold that day and was stopped by Leah.
The officer's brows furrowed when he heard him say that, to be honest, if it wasn't for Miss Leah's face last time, it is estimated that several people would have already fought each other, and as for Kane, he still hasn't figured out his identity.
"It's you again, I already let you go once last time when I obstructed our law enforcement, and today I'll see who will save you. The officer said with a proud face.
Kane smiled, "You get out of here with your people right now, so maybe I can think about it." ”
"Huh?" the sergeants were stunned when he said that, and the one in the lead immediately became angry, "What a big breath! I want to see how good you are!" After saying that, he rushed towards Kane with his long sword.
Kane smiled slightly, his hands secretly sealed, and saw that the officer had rushed four or five feet in front of him, and the sword in his hand had also begun to slash down.
"Boom!" suddenly there was an explosion, and a group of people were blinded by a burst of sudden white light, and when they opened their eyes, they saw a shocking thing, only to see the officer in armor flying upside down for more than ten meters, and slammed into the ground with a bang, and his whole body was charred black.
Kane was stunned, on the surface this person was very embarrassed, but Kane knew that he was just shocked by his own spell, and he was not seriously injured, it seems that there should be a defensive circle on his armor.
Kane just cast the mid-level thunder-type magic thunder blast technique, which is considered to be very domineering among mid-level magic, but the range is limited, and it is usually suitable for close enemies.
And there is one common sense that everyone understands, that is, metal conducts, so that people wearing armor will be dangerous when they encounter magicians, so usually as long as the metal armor is generally equipped with a defensive array, this kind of magic circle is driven by the element stone embedded in the armor, not only can it protect against lightning and electricity, but even has a certain resistance to all magic, as for the amount of resistance, it depends on the quality of the armor, like the patrol guards are estimated to be just ordinary armor.
'Poof!' The sergeant who fell to the ground straightened his head slightly and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and Kane's eyes couldn't help but carry some fear.
Although he is just an ordinary sergeant, his strength is an intermediate swordsman, and he has a lot of combat experience, but he didn't even take a move from Kane, it seems that the young man in front of him is definitely not something he can provoke, and he is curious about his identity for a while.
Kane walked over slowly, startling the few domineering sergeants next to him who couldn't help but retreat.
Fortunately, Kane didn't mean to embarrass them, but walked to the three sheriffs and Salad, and when he saw several people, he disdainfully said, "Carry him away, it's better not to appear in front of me again in the future!"
Several sergeants hurriedly answered, and carried away the fallen one with all hands and feet, looking so embarrassed.
Here Kane looked at the somewhat haggard salad and smiled, "I haven't seen more than * bright for a few days, and the three of you, hard work." ”
"This..."The three sheriffs were still a little blind, and the leader hurriedly said, "It's our honor to be able to serve the adults!"
Kane smiled, "Let's go, take you to have a good meal first, and then change your clothes later, if you three don't want to go back, stay and follow me in the future." ”
"Yes, Master Xie!" the three of them were unwilling to hear him say that, and they all danced happily.
Kane smiled, to be honest, the strength of these three people is really not good, but the character is quite good, the strength can be cultivated, and if the character is not good, it is useless.
