"Young master, is this really good?" the old butler looked at Barn with a worried face.

Although he also had great doubts about the death of old Bashut, this silver cross coffin was a gift from the royal family after all, and in the history of the Delos royal family, there was indeed an ancestral precept that the silver cross coffin must not be opened again after the coffin was sealed. Now that Grand Duke Bashut has left suddenly, if there is any accident with Barn, who is the heir of the family, because of this incident, the old butler even feels that he is too sorry for the old duke.

Barn naturally understood the worry in the old butler's heart, but he said without the slightest hesitation: "Don't worry, if there is anything, I, Barn Bashut, will bear it with all my might, not to mention, the royal family doesn't have the heart to deal with me, the new Grand Duke of Bashut, now." ”

After saying that, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Barn's mouth, which seemed to the old butler to be almost the same inscrutable smile that often hung on the face of Grand Duke Bashut when he was alive.

The old butler also knew very well in his heart that the royal family was now taking care of itself as Barn said, and now the army of the Dark Elves on the border of the empire was constantly advancing towards the hinterland of the empire. And the most respected generalissimo of the empire, Grand Duke Basut, died suddenly, if this person was panicking, if Bahn, the heir of the Bashut family, was punished by the empire for some trumped-up crimes, I am afraid that the old subordinates of Grand Duke Bashuut, who are now desperately resisting the army of the dark elves in the southern provinces, will not be so comfortable. If you don't get enough of provoking these arrogant generals, these guys may stop resisting and let the army of the Dark Elves enter the hinterland of the empire, if that happens, it will be a catastrophe for the empire.

Therefore, in such a situation, let alone Barne opening the coffin of the silver cross, even if he commits a great crime, the royal family will choose to turn a blind eye to it.

"The old slave understands, young master. ”

After saying that, the old butler bowed slightly, walked out of the door directly, and came to the mourning hall again, when he looked at the Holy Church Pontiff with a compassionate expression on his face, and a kind look of eyebrows, he couldn't help but feel a little disgust in his heart.

"Stop!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the old butler walked directly to the center of the mourning hall and stopped the Holy Church Pope from continuing to chant.

"What do you mean, old butler, that the Pope has been entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness Empress Isabella to hold a memorial service for Grand Duke Basut, why did the old butler stop me?" the Templar looked puzzled.

Entrusted by the royal family?

The old butler felt a touch of disdain in his heart, and said coldly: "Pope Trist, the grand duke of my family didn't like to be involved with religious people during his lifetime, so he won't bother Pope Lautrist after his death." ”

Although the old butler's words did not explicitly say that Grand Duke Basiut hated the people of the Templars, Trist was also a human spirit who had lived for decades, so how could he not hear the implication of the old butler's words. Therefore, a touch of anger instantly appeared on his face: "Old butler, this is a request from the royal family, and I hope the old butler will think twice." ”

Trist bites the word royalty very hard, and the threat in it is self-evident.

And the old butler is an old god, what can you do with me: "This is not bothered by the Pope Lautrist, on the royal side, the new patriarch of our Bashut family, Grand Duke Barn Bashut, will naturally give them an explanation." ”

Grand Duke Barn Bashut?

When Trist heard this name, his expression was really in a trance for a few seconds, but it was after these few seconds that he also understood, according to the laws of the Caesar Empire, after the death of his father, one of his heirs must inherit the title in front of him, and the Grand Duke of Bashuut was also the only son of Barn during his lifetime, so after his death, Barn naturally became the new Grand Duke of the Caesar Empire.

Seeing that there was already a hint of impatience on the old butler's face, Trist knew in his heart that the other party didn't take him, the Holy Patriarch, seriously at all, to be precise, he didn't take the royal family's arrangements seriously. Trist was naturally very clear about the festivals between Grand Duke Basiut and the Holy Church, and to be honest, after learning the news of Grand Duke Basut's death, Trist was still a little happy in his heart. After all, anyone who has always had a grand duke who holds the real power of the empire will feel uneasy if he is hostile to him.

Originally, Trist thought that Grand Duke Bashutt was dead, and he could use the name of the royal family to humiliate the Bashut family, but he didn't expect the new Grand Duke who had just returned to the family to act so decisively and directly drove him out.

Trist felt that it was necessary to alert the upper echelons of the Templar to see if some of the measures of the Bashutt family would be appropriately modified, and although it was only a quick glance with Barn just now, Trist sensed a dangerous aura from Barn's body.

"Alas, since this is the case, the old man will retire first, and the old butler begs you to convey your condolences to the Grand Duke of Barn. Trist said with a sad look on his face, then turned and left the mourning hall.

At the same time as Trist left, he was naturally looked at by Su Yang, Han Menglan, and Xi Lan who were outside the courtyard, Xi Lan smiled slightly and whispered to Su Yang: "As the saying goes, knowing the son is more than the father, but now it seems that this kid Barn knows a lot about his father." ”

Su Yang also nodded slightly.

After Trist left, the old butler used the excuse to disperse all the servants who had fought on the mourning hall, and then closed the door of the mourning hall, and finally walked to the back of the mourning hall and said, "Young master, everything is ready." ”

As soon as the words fell, Barn also walked out with a filial piety cloth tied to his head and a white filial piety suit.

With a bang, Barn knelt directly on the ground and slammed his head three times against the coffin: "Father, my son is late to come back, and I hope that my father will forgive my son in the spirit of heaven." The son has a lot of doubts about the cause of your father's death, and in order to find out the truth, he has no choice but to offend his father, and hopes that his father will not blame his son. ”

After saying that, Barn slammed his head three times again.

Then, he slowly got up from the ground, walked to the coffin of the silver cross, put his hands on the lid of the coffin at the same time, and after hearing a dull rumble, the coffin of the silver cross was directly pushed open by Barne. Immediately after, Barn pulled out his short sword and lifted it gently, and the coffin lid instantly rose into the air and slammed heavily on the ground.

Looking at the Grand Duke Bashut lying quietly in the coffin, Barn's tears suddenly welled up: "Father!"

"Sir..."

Barn fell to his knees at the same time as the old butler and kowtowed.

"Young master, please mourn, the top priority now is to find out what happened to the master's death. The old butler forcibly endured his grief and stepped forward to help Barn Dao.

Barn nodded, and began to carefully assemble his father's body, which was a palm-wide wound in the chest and abdomen, and there were no other wounds or scars on the body's surface.

In other words, if Grand Duke Basiut really died at the hands of the violent Raider Assassin, as the royal family had announced, then the weapon in the Assassin's hand was a giant broadsword. Barn couldn't have imagined that the Assassin would abandon his dexterous dagger in favor of the broadsword. If the weapon used by the Assassin was a broadsword, then the Assassin would probably have been discovered if he had not approached the Grand Duke of Basiut, for no other reason, because weapons such as broadblades were too cumbersome.

"Old butler, do you know of any member of an Assassin Order or a lone assassin on the continent who wields a broadsword?" asked Barn without looking back.

The old butler didn't think about it at all, and replied directly: "Young master, although the old slave said that he can't know all the assassin organizations or lone assassins on this road, at least eighty percent of the understanding is still there, in the old slave's impression, none of the assassins use this broad-edged sword, because once the assassin uses this broad-bladed sword, he will undoubtedly send himself to the gate of hell." ”

Hearing the old butler's answer, Barn did not speak for a long time, and the answer that the old butler said was roughly the same as the conjecture in his heart.

"Hmph, Assassin? I'd like to see what kind of strange person that so-called violent raider is. Barn muttered to himself, then turned and walked out of the mourning hall.

"Young Master, who are you?"

"Go to the palace death row, by the way, after I leave, the old butler, you will carefully examine my father's body to see if there are any traces I missed. ”

"Yes. ”

After explaining all this, Barn immediately walked out into the courtyard.

Seeing this, Su Yang and the three of them, who had been staying in the courtyard, immediately walked up and said at the same time: "Barn, mourn." ”

Barn nodded slightly, and then walked straight towards the outside of the mansion, which made Su Yang and the others feel very strange in an instant, but now in this situation, they don't know whether they should follow Barn or not.

After being stunned for a few seconds, it was Xilan who took the lead in speaking: "Su Yang boy, you and Miss Han Menglan will stay here, and I will go to Boy Bahn." ”

With that, Xilan followed Barn from a distance.

Su Yang and Han Menglan glanced at each other, and then planned to enter the mourning hall to see if the old housekeeper had anything they could do.

......

At the same time, as soon as Bahn left the palace, he spread his wings and flew directly to the palace, although there was a ban on flying in the city of Valetalon, but for Bahn at this moment, there was nothing to prevent him from finding out the truth about the cause of his father's death.
