In the early morning of the next day, a grand funeral was held, and the whole country mourned.

Gawain accompanied Arthur to visit the king's body, Arthur frowned, but said nothing, just silence, and Gawain, who accompanied him, also noticed his strangeness.

All the knights have a white rose pinned to their chests, and they have uniform makeup. Only the Knights of Wang Yao were dressed in formal attire, and they were the swords of the kingdom and should be different.

Towards noon, the coffin containing the king's body will be paraded around the royal capital, and Arthur takes advantage of this gap to come to the pavilion in the back garden of the royal capital, which is full of nobles attending the funeral, and there are slightly fewer people here.

There were many aristocratic ladies who wanted to talk to Arthur, but because they were not suitable for this moment, they could only watch helplessly from a distance.

He carried his hands on his back, and beside him stood Gao Wen and several of Wang Yao's knights, and even at this moment, Wang Yao had not forgotten his responsibility.

"Call Zenga to me. ”

As Wang Yao's deputy commander, Knight Zeng Jia is the deepest knight in the entire king, a generation higher than Gao Wen, and half of his teacher, and now he is in charge of security as the commander of the inner court of the royal capital, which also means Arthur.

Gawain turned to leave, and a moment later, he returned with Zenga.

"The king, when he passed away, he looked bad and was in a panic, and kept shouting your name and Yalin's name. After the departure of the god of law, the king lost a support, and lately he has been meditating and rarely speaking. ”

"The queen has been to see Your Majesty several times, and he has only seen him once, and the eldest princess has also been there several times, and the eldest prince has been there twice, once before you went on the expedition, and once after you went on the expedition and fell into crisis, and the second prince has only been there once recently. His Majesty is relatively cold to the second prince, and he usually has no words of comfort. ”

"I've been stationed outside the door and nothing out of the ordinary has happened. ”

Arthur's eyebrows were about to twist together after hearing this, he glanced around, and whispered to Zeng Jia.

"Knight Zenga, your qualifications are very old, you should know what kingdom Xinmi, right?"

Zeng Jia looked at Arthur in surprise, not understanding why he was asking such a thing.

"You..."

Arthur said in a voice that only Gawain and Zenga could hear.

"Your Majesty has been cursed, and I just sensed a faint aura of death on his body, speeding up his death. ”

After hearing this, the two were taken aback.

"Don't talk about it. Zeng Jia shook his head, ready to divert the conversation, the consequences of this incident and the reasons behind it are too serious, and no one can afford it.

"No, you can ignore it, but I can't ignore it, I owe Your Majesty a lot of favors, and I have to pay it back, even if it will pull out a deep conspiracy in the end, even if it will make the entire Falin unrecoverable. ”

Arthur looked into the distance and said lightly.

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

"I didn't feel the scent of a witch, but there's a good chance you're saying it's true. Jessica looked at Arthur.

Wangdu's family is the same as always, but now there are a few more people who eat, except for Arthur, who are all women, and it can be regarded as a small taste of life.

The study was quiet and dim, with a lot of candles, the doors and windows were closed, and there were no outsiders near the house.

In his hand is a chronicle of the Falin Kingdom, but this kind of thing is honestly useless, and it is very difficult to find something useful from it, and the chronicles are all about hiding the most unsightly things, otherwise can they be issued?

Hearing Jessica's affirmative answer, Arthur let go of a little hesitation, at least the current direction is right, there is indeed a conspiracy behind the king's death, and this conspiracy has a lot to do with the throne.

There is no direction to who is the curse, but there are bound to be clues and clues in the kingdom's Xinmi.

There was too much wax and oil in the candle, and the candlelight was flickering rapidly.

"Well, at least it's in the right direction. Arthur tossed the chronicle aside. "The book is almost rotten, and there is not a single clue. ”

"Knight Zenga should have vaguely known something, but he didn't dare to say it, and I couldn't force him, because it might lead him to a dead end. ”

Jessica looked at Arthur, who was sitting in a contemplative chair, and slowly shook her head. After all, this is an internal matter of the kingdom, and she doesn't understand.

"Curses need a medium or someone to cast a spell, you go find it, I might have a solution. ”

"After a while, it's not time to act rashly. Arthur said.

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

Royal Library of the Kingdom.

In a secluded corner of the library, the rustle of books could be heard, and the faint glow of an oil lamp illuminated a corner of the library.

Knight Zenga sat in a chair with several old books on the table, and he was looking up something that he didn't even know about, and he didn't know why he was here.

He abandoned his armor, dressed in civilian clothes, and sneaked in like a thief while it was dark, and even though he was so overwhelmed, he still came.

I don't know if it's because of Arthur's words, or because of the unwillingness and unbearability in my heart.

Your Majesty is a mighty king, why is his death so unconvincing?

Whether Arthur's conjecture was right or not, he came, here to find possible answers.

The time is close to the early hours of the morning, and the Big Ben clock built by Arthur has heard sounds from time to time, which makes people listen peacefully, but if it is changed in this environment, it is unexpectedly infiltrating.

Knock knock knock....

0:00 a.m.

Zeng Jia's body trembled, not because he was afraid, but because a brief message in the book made him look sideways, faintly overlapping with the pimple in his heart that had been hidden in his heart for many years, restoring a shocking truth.

Originally... He...

"What people!" Zeng Jia glanced up ahead, it was dark, hollow, and there was nothing, only the rustle of the wind blowing the windows outside.

Zeng Jia got up, he was Wang Yao's knight, the most senior person in the kingdom, how could he be afraid, how could he hesitate.

Pulling out a dagger for self-defense from his bosom, perhaps he was suspicious, but he had to be careful, a habit he had developed over the years.

The Royal Library is large and full of precious materials, and all the tall shelves are neatly arranged, showing the extraordinary wealth of the kingdom.

Now that the truth of the matter has been obtained, it is necessary to consult with Arthur anyway, for the future of the kingdom is at stake.

There was a white mang behind him, and the vigilance he had cultivated over the years made Zeng Jia quickly dodge forward, but he was still slashed in the back by Bai Mang.

His body slowed down for a moment, exuding a sense of powerlessness.

Poisonous!

The other party is very strong, the assassin, stealth without any signs, and a quick shot.

Zeng Jia knelt on one knee, broke his chest with the dagger in his hand, and clenched his right hand into a fist, like a tiger fighting a trapped beast.

The strong wind in his ears swept through him, leaving the place like a cannonball, and the dagger in his right hand slashed down fiercely.

With a thud, blood splattered, and an extra arm was on the ground.

Poof! A dagger quenched with green venom plunged into Zenga's chest.

A man dressed in black, holding a dagger, stood in front of Zenga, and the other party exchanged his life for the price of one hand.

With a bang, Zeng Jia lay on the ground, blood flowing everywhere.

The man picked up his arm and left the royal library.
