"What do you say?!!"

When Bahn, who had just come out of Magadha, heard this, his face changed and he immediately ran to the old man, grabbed him by the collar and said sharply, "What's wrong with my father?"

"Your Excellency, the Grand Duke... He—" There was already a hint of crying in the old man's voice.

"What the hell is going on?"

Barn asked, forcibly suppressing the uneasiness and irritability in his heart.

The old man stabilized his mood and said, "The Grand Duke, because of the war provoked by the dark elf clan, entered the palace to meet His Majesty, but unfortunately was assassinated by the assassins sent by the violent search group. ”

Rumble!

The old man's words exploded directly in Barn's mind like a fire-based forbidden spell, so that Barn didn't react for a while: "You, what did you say?"

"Grand Duke, he ......" The old man thought that Barn had not heard what he said clearly, and was about to repeat it, when Barn in front of him rushed out and went straight to the Grand Duke Bashut's mansion.

Su Yang and the others, who came down from the top of Magadha with Bahn, also looked at each other when they heard the news, and they didn't expect that in just a few days, Bahn would lose his lover first and then his father.

"No, I'll have to go up and take a look, little Barn must be in a bad mood right now, and I don't worry about him. After Xi Lan finished speaking, a Tengyue directly crossed the crowd near the airport and ran after Barn's figure.

Su Yang and Han Menglan also glanced at each other, and after the two nodded at the same time, they also followed behind Xi Lan.

The Grand Duke's Palace was not very far from the gates of Valetron, so Barn's gallop with all his might, and Barn arrived at the gate of the Grand Duke's Palace in a few minutes.

When Barn saw the white lanterns hanging high at the entrance of the Grand Duke's Mansion and the large number of white curtains arranged, he suddenly felt a sense of dizziness in his head, if it weren't for Xi Lan and Su Yang, who were following him closely, he would have been paralyzed on the ground at this time.

"The young master is back. ”

As soon as the guard at the door saw Barn, he immediately rushed up and said to Barn with a crying voice: "Young master, you are back, ...... master."

Before the guard could finish speaking, Barn regained his footing and rushed into the mansion.

In the main hall of the Grand Duke's Palace, a coffin carved with a silver cross and various sacred patterns was quietly placed, and an old man in a white priest's robe was holding a Bible in his hand, and his mouth was constantly muttering something.

Seeing all this, Barn suddenly felt a pang in his heart, first Emily's whereabouts were unknown, and then his most beloved father was assassinated by the assassins of the violent search group, Barn was eager to ask the gods he had believed in in the past, why did he do this to him, and what did he Barn Basheut do wrong?

At this time, the old butler, who had been guarding the coffin, saw Barn appear in the hall, so he walked up quickly, held Barn's hand and said, "The young master is back, great, the backbone of the Bashut family has finally returned." ”

The old butler's words made Barn stunned, but after a while he was relieved, yes, his father, Grand Duke Bashut, died too suddenly, causing the Bashut family, who controlled the entire southern province, to fall into chaos all of a sudden. Now that he has returned from the Heavenly Veil Behemoth, it means that from today onwards, he will take on the burden of leading the Bashut family, and he will also become the backbone of the Bashut family.

"Old butler, how did my father die?" Barn asked in a low voice after he calmed down easily.

The old butler immediately looked stunned, and then replied in the same low voice: "Young master, oh no, patriarch, this is not the place to speak, please come with me." ”

With that, the old butler walked straight towards the inner courtyard at the back of the hall.

Seeing this, Bahn first threw an apologetic look at Su Yang and Xi Lan, and then walked behind the old butler.

After Barn left, Xilan glanced at the white-robed old man who had been chanting beside the coffin, snorted softly in his nostrils, and walked out. As for Su Yang, he respectfully walked to the coffin of Grand Duke Basyut, bent down and saluted three times, after all, Grand Duke Basiut took good care of him at the beginning, especially in Lilith, if it weren't for his introduction, Lilith would probably be just a little girl who doesn't know anything about the world now. Not to mention anything else, this alone is worthy of Su Yang's respectful incense.

After some etiquette, Su Yang was inconvenient to stay in the mourning hall longer, and then turned around and walked out.

"Yo, boy Su Yang, it's coming out so soon. Xilan squatted on top of a rockery, holding a weedy in her mouth that she didn't know where to pick it up.

Su Yang glanced at Xilan helplessly: "Uncle Xilan, the eldest duke is also Barn's father, you are here, why do you have to put incense on others, after all, the dead are the greatest." ”

Xilan snorted and spit out the weeds in his mouth: "I don't know if the deceased is too big, I only know that if the old guy Bashut is still alive, and if he knows that the funeral after his death is handled by the guys from the Templars, it is estimated that he will have to jump out of the coffin when he dies." ”

Templars?

Su Yang was stunned, did he have such a big reaction? Grand Duke Bashut should not have any grudges against this organization called the Holy Church.

Seeing Su Yang's look of disbelief, Xi Lan directly pointed at the old man in the mourning hall and said, "Do you know who that old guy is? A pope of the Holy Hall at the headquarters of the Veltaron, a sixth-order peak powerhouse. However, these old things in the Templar are very pedantic, and when one of Bashut's subordinates was seriously injured, and when they approached this group of old guys who specialized in priest skills for help, these old things refused to treat Bashut's subordinate on the grounds that he cultivated the fighting spirit of the dark attribute. As a result, one of his subordinates died of his wounds in front of Bashute's eyes, which made Basiut so angry that he almost led someone to demolish the Templar's headquarters. ”

After a pause, Xilan continued: "Because of that incident, Bashuut has been disappointing to the Templar in every way since then, and has said many times in public that if he sacrifices his life for the country one day, then the funeral will never allow the Templar to step in, otherwise he will die without turning a blind eye. ”

After learning about the past between Grand Duke Basius and the Holy Church, Su Yang finally understood why Xi Lan walked out with great disdain as soon as he entered the mourning hall just now and saw the Holy Sect in the Holy Church.

meanwhile

In a small room behind the mourning hall, Barn waited calmly for the old butler to answer his questions, but under that calm expression was a heart full of grief and anger, because his intuition told Barn that his father's death might not be so simple.

"Old butler, it's just the two of us here, tell me everything you know. ”

"Alas......"

The old butler sighed: "Young master, I don't think it's that simple for the old man's dead old man. I remember that day Her Royal Highness Isabella came down to look for the lord, and then the lord followed a few knights from the palace into the palace, so that he wanted to discuss with His Majesty about how to deal with the war provoked by the dark elves. However, less than half a day after the old man entered the palace, news came from the palace, saying that the old man had been assassinated and that the murderer was a fish that had slipped through the net of the violent search and arrest group. ”

At this, the old butler glanced up at Barn with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

The sharp-eyed Barn naturally did not miss this point, and asked: "Old butler, what else do you know, please tell me as well." ”

"After the news of the master's assassination came, I sent the family's secret guard to investigate, and found that there was indeed a member of the violent search team held in the palace death row. And according to the eyes of our family on death row, this person was indeed sent by Her Royal Highness Isabella herself shortly after the assassination of the master. However, old man, I always felt that this matter was not so simple. The old butler said.

When Barn heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a while, the assassination of his father, judging from the current situation, has all the human and material evidence, and it should be like the news given by the royal family, it was assassinated by the people who violently searched for the map. But in his heart, like the old housekeeper, he always felt that this matter was not so simple.

"By the way, young master, there is another point, the body of the lord was directly packed in the coffin and then sent back by the people of the palace, and the people from the palace also specially asked us to say that the lord was assassinated in order to protect His Majesty, and His Majesty specially gave the lord a silver cross coffin that can only be used by the royal family, so that we can let the lord enter the earth as soon as possible after seven days of silence. The old butler said slowly.

When Barn heard what the old butler said, he suddenly had some doubts in his heart, although his father was a grand duke of the empire and had a high and powerful position, but according to the tradition of the empire, this silver cross coffin could only be used by the royal lineage. Moreover, all corpses that use this silver cross coffin are not allowed to open the coffin after the coffin is loaded, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful to the royal family.

The royal family did not hesitate to disobey the ancestral system to bestow the glory of his father's silver cross coffin, and if there was nothing greasy in this, Barn would not believe it if he was killed. If anything, it's only one thing, and that is that there is definitely some kind of clue on his father's corpse. And this clue happens to be what the royal family wants to hide.

"By the way, old butler, since the people of the royal family said that my father died to protect His Majesty, how is Your Majesty doing now?" Barn asked suddenly.

"Huh?"

The old butler was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Your Majesty is said to be too frightened and the grief brought to him by the death of the master, and he cannot afford to be ill, and at present, the affairs of the empire are all decided by the princess Isabella. ”

"Heh, can't afford to be sick, I want to see how he can't afford to be sick. Barn sneered.

After saying this, Barn turned and walked out of the hut, and at the same time commanded, "Old butler, drive out that old thing from the temple, my father hated these hypocrites the most in his life. In addition, I ordered to go down, Young Master Ben, I will open the coffin for an autopsy, I want to see what the royal family is trying to hide?"
