"It seems that the police system in Birmingham City, which is similar to that in London, has only now found the body. ”

In the dim light, Dylan sat on Isabella's bed, holding a glass of amber mead and taking a sip.

"Who do you think will send the killers? Could some of them be the same people I met on Thorn Mountain? Isabella asked.

Dylan squinted his eyes and directly concluded: "It's likely, but it's not big." The killer you encounter on the Mountain of Thorns should only target Jared. Judging from Jared's identity, if it is not a personal vendetta, it should be a dispute over other interests. I've only just arrived in Birmingham and I haven't had any enmity or conflict of interest with anyone. So, there should be only two possibilities. ”

"Oh, which two!"

"The first possibility is that I was involved in some dispute with your father, so I was affected by the pond fish. ”

This answer made Isabella speechless for a while, and after a while, she continued to ask, "So what is the second possibility?"

"The second possibility is that your suitor is jealous and sent someone to assassinate me. ”

Isabella was powerless to resist Dylan's analysis, but said noncommittally: "I admit it, what you say makes sense. Let me tell me why my father's dispute has affected you. ”

Dylan glanced at Isabella with a caring look for the disabled and said, "I'll tell you why, because I haven't dealt with anyone in this city at all, except for you and your father." I don't know anyone else in the city other than making appearances at banquets. Could it be that someone I don't even know will come and kill me in the middle of the night?"

"And after the assassination failed, he committed suicide. This kind of thing is called a dead man, and ordinary small nobles can't afford to raise it. Judging from the other party's lame methods, it should not be a professional organization, so it is very likely that the other party made a temporary decision or sent his own private soldiers. ”

Uhhh Isabella was obviously defeated, so she said very unassertively: "You're right, so what now?"

"There is an old saying in my hometown that there are only those who have been thieves for a long time, and there are no people who have been thieves for a long time. Dylan put down his glass and said in a very eerie tone: "It's actually very simple, as long as we play a play, as long as it's like this..." ”

··············

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

For a week, Dylan spent the day with Isabella in the city of Birmingham. Spend your days wandering Birmingham's pubs, restaurants, theatres and more. As long as there is a banquet, the two must attend together. In this regard, the Earl also let it go, and in the eyes of outsiders, it means that the Earl has acquiesced to the relationship between the two of them.

Seeing such a scene, some of Isabella's suitors have retreated. And some of those who are not far away and give up easily still appear in front of the two of them every day to pay tribute to Isabella.

Seeing that it was already winter, winter hunting was a tradition of the British aristocracy. Dylan and Isabella set off in full gear, and the other noble children were also gearing up, intending to make a show of their might in front of the people they liked.

"To the west of Birmingham is the Gunzeniel Range, where many wild animals live, and it is said that griffons have been seen in the mountains. ”

"Griffons, you say?" said Dylan, surprised.

"Right"

Isabella turned to Dylan and said, "But it's just a rumor, there is no evidence that there is really such a creature in the mountains, otherwise my father would have captured him a long time ago." If we can catch a griffin, we'll have an auction in Birmingham and we'll make a lot of money. ”

Hehe···· Dylan was also speechless about the madness of Birmingham businessmen. In order to make money, griffins dare to provoke such things, no wonder people are rich.

"Let's go!"

With a sound of departure, many nobles ran towards the mountain with hounds and falcons.

Dylan and Isabella walked at the back, and as they were about to enter the depths of the forest, they looked at each other and chose different paths to go their separate ways.

Dylan left the crowd alone and walked deeper into the woods, gradually becoming less and less vocal around him. Dylan stopped suddenly, and in front of the woods, a man in a leather coat who had assassinated him before appeared blocking the way.

As soon as he stopped, many leather-clad figures appeared behind him and around him, silently surrounding Dylan in the middle. At a glance, there were 45 people, and this time the scene looked much bigger than the last time.

"You can't run away this time. ”

A thin man walked out of the crowd and looked at Dylan viciously, the killing intent in his eyes was no longer going to be hidden.

Looking at his expression, Dylan was also a little confused, and asked directly, "I shouldn't know you, right?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey······ You don't know me, but you killed my brother Lake, and I'm Scarface Lake's brother, Mad the Dog. The expression on Bard's face was distorted with anger, and he hissed as hard as he could, "You want to ask for mercy now, right? I'm going to take every bone out of your body, and then I'm going to peel off your human skin and dry it to make a specimen. ”

"Don't be so cruel. Do we have something to say no? Dylan said helplessly: "And it's your brother who is coming to kill me, and I'm just forced to fight back." ”

"Stop talking nonsense! Break your bones and get you to your knees. With a wave of the knife in his hand, Bard surrounded the leather-clad men.

During the day, the strength of the blood clan was suppressed by the sunlight and could not show their strength. Dylan can only exert less than 3% of his strength, and a head-on hard encounter is looking for death.

However, Dylan had prepared in advance, he pulled the belt from his waist, and a long rope flew towards the big tree outside the encirclement, and Dylan pulled the rope and flew towards the outside of the encirclement.

"Can't let him run, chase after him. ”

A group of people quickly chased after Dylan, and Bud took the lead, seeing that Dylan was not very far away from him, and threw the sharp knife in his hand at him.

Burst!

Dylan couldn't dodge in mid-air, and the knife hit Dylan directly in the thigh, and the blade sank into the leg.

···········

The trees are forested, and the Fairman family's team has been quietly ambushed here for a long time.

Isabella, Maria and Count Fairman were also present.

Seeing that Dylan had not yet arrived, Isabella couldn't bear it anymore, turned back to the expressionless Maria and said, "Don't you care about your master? In case he hadn't made it here······. ”

"All right, Isabella!" said Earl Fairman, "you should believe him, and since it is his plan, then he must be fully prepared." ”
