Karilina, half aggrieved, angry, half puzzled, replied: "What does this have to do with me? Ivanovsky, didn't you control all the people in charge of intelligence from Uncle Werther? Why did he wake up and have breakfast, and then he asked to see Viscount Fedorov by name?"

Viscount Fedorov was the elder brother of Balshak, and he apparently heard about Peter.

"I have verified, there is no information that would make Count Vitte make the decision to see Viscount Fedorov, and there is no intelligence agent who has an unusual whereabouts and has secretly come to see Count Werther. Karolina, did the servants and attendants you choose slip out?" Ivanovsky denied the accusations against him, suspecting that something was wrong with Kariliana's side.

Kaliliana shook her head resolutely: "No, their parents and relatives are under my control, and without my permission, they will not reveal anything about the outside world to Uncle Werther, just say some manor customs, snow disasters, etc., and they have fully fulfilled my request, except for the intelligence officers, no matter which knight wants to see Uncle Werther, they will block it on the pretext that Uncle Werther is not feeling well and needs to rest, and they will help deliver messages, letters, etc." ”

Suddenly encountering such an unexpected change, Kaliliana and Ivanovsky, who are equal in status, subconsciously blame each other and shirk responsibility.

After a few minutes of silence, Ivanovsky lifted his gold-rimmed glasses: "That may be Count Werther suddenly had a new idea." In short, things are getting a little troublesome, and in order to put an end to the hidden danger and prevent the Count from suddenly leaving the inheritance to Peter, we need to ......" He clenched his right hand fiercely and made a motion to break his neck.

"Are you crazy? This is Withered Vine Castle! There are several great knights, more than twenty knights guarding here!Do you want to be found by them and burned at the stake in the church?!" Kaliliana looked at Ivanovsky in disbelief as if she were looking at a complete madman. Her tone was very intense. Full of consternation.

Throughout the Urals, nobles such as Viscount Fedorov, who were directly subordinate to Count Werther, would take turns guarding the castle with their knights. This is the knight's obligation to the lord. In times of non-war, they must have two months of obligation to serve the liege, and in the same way, this is their relationship with the liege. Opportunities to socialize with other nobles.

Ivanovsky seemed to feel that his clothes were a little tight, and pulled his neckline, and said coldly: "Didn't we plan to kill Peter in the first place? But really, covert hands-on doesn't work very well. Instead, Peter noticed it and went to the church to report it, which almost broke the story. Since things have come to this point, it is better to use the Empire's usual style of acting, which is the simplest and most effective!"

"As for the big knights, knights, and castle priests on the lower floors, you don't have to worry, it's not Mr. Matvey, a mid-level magician. And that one?"

Cariliina's violent reaction died down as if it had never been there. She sighed and said with a little worry: "Since you have decided, just do what you say, but I always feel a little weird." The change came so suddenly, so strangely. ”

"Don't worry, Kaliliana, this layer is an old man who is 'aging' and dying, except for the attendants and servants you control. Although he used to be a knight, now he is weak-willed, mentally weak, and incapacitated, and as long as we don't make a big noise, he can't detect it at all. Didn't he not find out when we got rid of those loyal chamberlains before?"

Ivanovsky touched his mouth, and the anger and annoyance caused by the surprise were swept away, and he became calm again, "And Peter must have thought that there are so many knights and great knights guarding here, and it is an absolutely safe environment, making it much less difficult for us to kill him." ”

Kaliliana's expression changed a few times, and she said calmly: "After killing him, destroy the body immediately, and then let Miyaka and Nyak transform into him and his butler to follow the caravan and leave, and then disappear halfway." Ivanovsky, you and the men sent to assassinate Peter must be strong enough, not careless, don't make big jokes like Miyaka, and at the end of the day, you will have to spend ten times as much energy to deal with the follow-up troubles. ”

After the Winter Bear incident, poor Miyaka was ridiculed within the gang.

Before Ivanovsky could reply, Kaliliana added: "Although Peter tried his best to hide his strength from his steps, movements, etc., making it difficult to detect his knightly rank, when I danced with him, judging by his heartbeat, blood flow, skin sensation, etc., he was just an ordinary official knight, good at agility and speed. This is in line with the situation he showed when he defeated Miyaka with his sword. What he needs to worry about is the two long swords on his body, they should both be magic long swords, and one of them may even be mid-level. ”

She analyzes this aspect of things with a clear and sensitive sense, not like an ordinary noblewoman who is keen on hunting.

"Judging from Miyaka's description, it is possible to be level three or four, but how can an ordinary official knight compete with a big knight or a middle-level magician even if he holds a middle-level magic sword? ”

After saying that, Ivanovsky felt ridiculous and jealous and said: "What adventures did this guy Peter have in the north? Why did a knight who had just been promoted have such an expensive magic sword and magic items? He is simply richer than me! But after tonight, they will belong to me." ”

Kaliliana's mood fully recovered, and she smiled charmingly, "The magic items belong to me." ”

In their opinion, no matter how much an ordinary official knight like Peter has adventures, it is the limit to be able to get two magic swords and a fourth- or fifth-level magic item, and at most a magic armor - he is likely to sell the bits and pieces of magic items and materials obtained from the adventure, so as to scrape together enough money to buy this set of equipment that suits him.

After the discussion, Ivanovsky instructed Matvey, who was standing quietly next to him: "Mr. Matvey, please wait to cover up the movement and prevent Peter from teleporting the magic item and escape." ”

In private, he was very polite to Matvey, because this was a three-ring magician who was good at cursing and changing, and when caught off guard, he could even take out other professions of the fifth level, including magicians and bishops.

Matvey nodded gloomily: "It's a pity that he has a magic item that triggers the anti-death enchantment, otherwise I would have completely stopped moving if I killed him with a curse, just like that one......"

Ivanovsky smiled: "Mr. Matvey, I believe in your abilities. By the way, when you do these things, don't stay too far away from me, and continue to protect me, otherwise some people may have bad thoughts. ”

No matter how you act, your own safety comes first, but when Ivanovsky said this, he was very relaxed - although some people in his words may be alluding to Kaliliana, but they don't seem to care much about her in their attitude.

"No problem. Matvey replied briefly. Cariliina, on the other hand, has maintained a charming and sexy smile all the time, and it is not affected at all.

After explaining the matter to Matvey, Ivanovsky patted his palm lightly: "Mr. Peternov, the assassination after that will be handed over to you." ”

In the dark shadows of the corner, a dull voice came: "Yes, Mr. Ivanovsky. ”

Kaliliana squinted her eyes and tried to look into the corner, but there was nothing but darkness and shadows, and then she asked half-open with red lips, "Darkness, or shadow blood?"

"Darkness, level three. Ivanovsky spat out two words without going into too much detail.

Kaliliana's mature and seductive smile froze slightly, because this was a top-level bloodline comparable to the Sun, the Shield of Truth, the Sword of Truth, the Silver Moon, the Vampire, the Devouring Monster, the Destruction Behemoth, the Time Dragon, the Devil Duke, the Demon King, etc., and the "Night Sky" Onegin among the nine city lords of the Eastern Exile was this bloodline, capable of fighting against other ordinary bloodline knights of the eighth rank with the seventh level.

The strength of this bloodline can be seen only in terms of defense, such as being immune to supernatural effects that affect the mind, spirit, and physical state after darkening, immunity to magic and magic that are lower than its own level, immunity to most necromancy, transformation magic, acid, explosion, ice, and most physical attacks.

When the night grew darker and Matvey suddenly disappeared, Ivanovsky sighed softly: "May God the Father bless me." ”

Kaliliana also drew a strange cross on her chest: "God the Father is above." ”

............

Inside the guest rooms of the Withered Vine Castle.

Leo was a little distracted and fidgeting: "Sir, Count Werther's sudden invitation is likely to ruin Ivanovsky's plan, and with his character, he will probably use simple and crude means. When you leave the castle tomorrow, be cautious. ”

He has been Ivanovsky's assistant for nearly ten years, and he can be regarded as a person who knows his character better, but he judged that Ivanovsky's actions should have been after the two of them left the castle, after all, this is the castle of Count Werther, a heavenly knight, and there are many great knights and knightly guards loyal to him.

"Leo, I know you, thank you for the reminder. You go and rest first. Lucien smiled and commanded Leo.

It wasn't until Leo went to sleep in the next room that Lucien's smile calmed down, his eyes became dark, and he also had a little premonition of danger - he had broken a teacup by mistake just now!

It's a hint from the main planet of fate, it's from the magic of the astral system! And no one seems to be deliberately interfering!

"Is there an enemy they can't fight? Or some kind of weird magic? Will they choose to risk it tonight?" Lucien didn't use astrology, for fear of alarming the knights in the castle, but looked at his own psychological blind spots, and soon had a lot of ideas.

"Anyway, keep on guard tonight. "It was a decision that didn't require much thought, it was simple and effective.

............

The night was dark, but the darkness in Lucian's room creeped like life. (To be continued.) )
