Barn, who was still more than a dozen steps away from Su Yang, suddenly ran in front of Su Yang, took Su Yang's hand and said, "Su Yang, what is the matter with the magic sword Apophis you just said?"

Su Yang was taken aback by the sudden rush of Bahn, and then said after a pause: "I fought once before in the Cave of Sorrow with a weapon that inhabited a demon spirit, and the name of that weapon was the magic sword Apophis, and that strange blue-purple magic flame burned forever around its blade. ”

After listening to Su Yang's words, Barn was obviously stunned, and it took him a long time before he said, "Then what does this have to do with my father's death?"

"Well, the old butler is better for you. Su Yang glanced at the old butler and said.

The old butler nodded, walked over to Barn and whispered a few words. As the old butler's lips continued to hum, Barn's face became more and more ugly.

After the old butler finished speaking, Barn walked up to Su Yang with a dark face and said word by word: "Su Yang, can you be sure that my father's fatal wound is not the wide-bladed sword wound, but the weird demonic flame?"

Su Yang hesitated for a moment, and did not answer directly, but threw this question to the three bigwigs in Zhihai.

"I agree with the Snow Emperor that this human was indeed scorched by demonic flames. Shylock exactly.

As soon as Shylock's words fell, Lotus spoke: "Although I don't know much about the so-called Demon Flame, one thing I can guarantee is that the human in front of me definitely did not die from the wound caused by the so-called broad-bladed sword stab. ”

As for the Snow Emperor, he naturally insisted on his previous point of view.

After receiving the assurance of the three near-god-level powerhouses, Su Yang nodded and said, "I can guarantee that Grand Duke Bashut died under the demonic flames. ”

"Okay, I see, thank you Su Yang. After Barn finished speaking, he turned around with an unchanged expression and walked straight towards the outside of the Duke's Palace.

At this time, Barn made up his mind to go to the palace again, asking why Leon III wanted to cover up the real cause of his father's death, for the so-called political influence or because his father's death was inseparable from the royal family?

But as soon as he reached the gate of the mansion, a group of knights of the Iron Wolf Knights walked up to him led by a stranger.

"Who are you?" Barn asked coldly.

"Me?"

The leader was surprised for a moment, then bowed and introduced himself: "Hello Grand Duke of Barn, I am the acting head of the Iron Wolf Knights temporarily appointed by Her Royal Highness Princess Isabella, and my name is Nonil. ”

"Nonil?!"

Barn faintly recalled the name of the younger generation of nobles in his mind, and found that he did not have the impression of this man named Nonil. When he came to understand it, this person must be an excellent graduate of the Royal Academy, otherwise, Isabella would not have trusted a guy who didn't know where to come from.

Oh, as soon as my father died, the royal family couldn't wait to attack me, what a dagger. Thinking of this, Barn still said indifferently: "I'm not dead yet, when will the Iron Wolf Knights have an acting leader." ”

Nonier's face changed when he heard this, but he quickly returned to his original state: "Grand Duke Barn said with a smile, as long as you want, you will always be the head of the Iron Wolf Knights. It's just that Her Royal Highness considered that the Grand Duke had lost your father and was worried that you were tired and tired, so she appointed a subordinate to temporarily replace you. ”

"Wait a minute, if Duke Ben remembers correctly, Imperial law clearly stipulates that the prince and princess are not allowed to interfere in politics, and Duke Ben wants to know in what capacity Isabella gave this order?" Barn asked.

Obviously, Nooneil already knew this question in his heart, and replied directly without thinking: "Back to the Grand Duke of Barn, because the scene of your father, the Grand Duke of Basyut's sacrifice for the country, happened in front of Your Majesty, Your Majesty was also greatly frightened and fell ill, and on the sickbed, Your Majesty specially asked Her Royal Highness Princess Isabella to ......"

Speaking of this, Nonil paused deliberately, and when he noticed Barn's gaze looking at him, he said slowly, "Prison Country." ”

Hmph, Leon III, you are there.

"In that case, why didn't you come to me if you didn't protect Her Royal Highness properly?"

"Back to the Grand Duke, after Her Royal Highness learned the news of the Grand Duke's return, she specially asked her subordinates to come to the palace to discuss the burial of the old duke. "Nonil is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Oh, I want to meet Isabella too. An unfathomable look of strangeness flashed across Barn's face.

"Then, the Grand Duke, please. ”

With that, Nonier led the knights of the Iron Wolf Knights to surround Barn firmly in the center and surrounded him towards the palace.

......

As soon as Bahn left on his front foot, Su Yang and the others chased him out of the Grand Duke's mansion.

"Where's your Grand Duke?" said Xilan, who had not seen any trace of Barn, as he grabbed a guard at the gate of the mansion.

Regarding Xi Lan's movements, the guard didn't have an impatient expression, and said quickly: "Grand Duke, he was invited into the palace by Her Royal Highness Princess Isabella. ”

Hearing this news, everyone's hearts chuckled at the same time, and a bad premonition appeared in their hearts.

"You say, this boy Barn won't assassinate the Emperor and the Imperial Maiden, right?" said to herself.

"Should... No way. Su Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "From what I know about Barn, he is not such a reckless person. ”

Su Yang's words were like a shot in the arm that temporarily stabilized everyone's hearts.

......

At the same time, Barn was also led by Noniel to the palace hall where Isabella was located.

"Grand Duke, Her Royal Highness is inside, please. Nonil bowed and said.

Barn glanced at Nonier, then pushed open the door and stepped inside.

There were only two people in the golden hall, one of whom was the most loyal female bodyguard of Caesar's Empire, the hound Cyrus. The other person is sitting on the throne, the princess of the prison country with her eyes closed, Isabella.

"Your Royal Highness, the Grand Duke of Barn is here. ”

As Barn reached the center of the hall, Cyrus, who was on the side, whispered.

When Isabella heard this, she immediately opened her bright eyes, raised her hand and waved: "Cyrus, you should retreat first." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

With that, Cyrus appeared at the door of the main hall in a flash, and Barn was amazed by the speed of his speed.

With a squeak, Cyrus, who had left the main hall, carefully closed the door of the main hall, and only two people were left in the main hall at this time, Barn and Isabella.

Isabella, who was on the throne, looked at Barn, whose eyes were red, and her heart ached, and she lightly opened her lips and said, "You're back." ”

"Why did Her Royal Highness say this, the news of the return of his subordinates, Her Royal Highness should have known about it a long time ago, otherwise how could the person on death row die so suddenly?" Barn said with an indifferent expression.

Isabella looked at Barn's look like a stranger, and her heart ached. Once upon a time, she and Barn were friends who talked about everything, why did God let her face such a problem?

Although she has a lot of thoughts in her heart, living in the royal family since she was a child has long allowed Isabella to develop the ability not to be frightened. Therefore, on the surface, Isabella still made a puzzled expression and said, "What, you suspect that I let the prisoner be killed?"

Barn sneered noncommittally, the meaning of which was palpable.

Isabella sighed, "Barn, is it true that in your heart, I, Isabella, am that kind of treacherous and changeable villain?"

As she spoke, Isabella's eyes were full of sadness.

Seeing Isabella's sad expression, Barn's expression was in a trance for a moment, and it took him a long time before he opened his mouth to change the topic and said, "What are you looking for me?"

"The Violent Raiders first attacked the capital of our Empire, Vetaron, and then assassinated our Empire's important ministers, how can I, as a prisoner, spare them for such a crime? Therefore, I have decided to select the elite divisions of the Empire to form a combined army to crusade against the Tyrannical Raiders hiding in the southern valleys!" Isabella said in a loud voice.

Seeing such a majestic Isabella, Barn couldn't help but be convinced of Lyon III's decision to appoint Isabella as the princess of the prison state.

"Why, Grand Duke Barn seems to have objections to my decision?" Isabella asked, seeing that Barn was silent.

Barn smiled wryly, though he also wanted to wipe out the Violent Raiders and retrieve Emily from the Raiders. But now he is the new Grand Duke of the Empire, and he has the burden of defending the Empire. Now that the Dark Elves are invading on a large scale, under such circumstances, if he agrees to Isabella's proposal to mobilize the elite to exterminate the violent search group, then the Caesar Empire may be at risk of extinction.

"Your Royal Highness, the most important thing for the empire now is to deal with the attack of the dark elves. Barn said slowly.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, Grand Duke Bahn, there are elite soldiers in the southern provinces left by the old duke, and the attack of the dark elves is just rampant for a while. Isabella said with a smile.

From Isabella's words, Barn can be considered to have heard some implications, since the news of his father's assassination reached the Southern Province, the entire Southern Province of his father's old ministry has been extremely dissatisfied with the royal family, if it were not for some sane old generals pressing them, I am afraid that the Southern Province at this time would have been in chaos.

What Isabella meant by this was that Barn, as the new Grand Duke, would give an order to the proud generals of the Southern Province that the Dark Elves must keep the invading forces of the Dark Elves out of the Empire during the time he set out to destroy the Violent Raiders.

"This, well, in this case, Wechen thanked Her Royal Highness on behalf of Emily, and if there is nothing else, Wechen will go down to prepare. With that, Barn arched his hand and walked out.

However, as soon as he turned around, he turned his head again and said word by word: "Your Royal Highness, have you heard of the magic sword Apophis?"
