Chapter 423: Turmoil Begins

Until he was taken away by Coria's men, Ziegler did not attempt to make any quibbles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info just before leaving, he and Queen Ria glanced at each other, and he could see the disappointment in Leah's eyes - he had fought alongside King Ryan, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe the relationship between the two as close friends. Because of this, during the second great conscription, Leah directly made an exception and promoted him to the chief of the guard of the inner city, and let him guard the most important places in the entire Talon Kingdom.

But plotting to assassinate the Empress, and at the same time shifting the blame to Captain Salfin?

If it weren't for Coria speaking clearly, the nobles would never have imagined that Captain Ziegler, who had always been known for his straightforwardness, would do such a thing. And his silence seems to acquiesce in these charges.

In just a few days, three of the four captains of the Kingdom of Tarun had undergone upheaval, and the scene that had been thriving for months was shattered overnight. The nobles chose to remain silent, and all eyes were on Riya, in which case only the Empress had the right to decide.

Everyone was in no mood to celebrate the feast - except for Moll Powell.

No one wanted to see this scene more than him, and all the doubts he had carried before were washed away, and he didn't need to be held responsible for the stupid mistakes of others. If anyone first tried to assassinate the Empress, it was Mor, but over the course of a few months, he had come to understand the significance of Empress Leah. The empress's assassin must have been a fool.

Now everyone finds out that Ziegler is this fool.

Well, that's in keeping with Ziegler's usual image.

"It's finally over. Seeing Ziegler being taken away, Coria breathed a sigh of relief. She was exhausted, her nerves had been tense every day since the secret letter had been sent, and now the sensational assassination of the upper classes had finally come to an end.

Compared to the intricate process, the ending is as simple as she expected. Salfin woke up and told her the cause and effect of the night, but he did not hope to be forgiven by Coria, this man has always gone his own way, and after explaining the situation, Salfin has no intention of returning to the inner city, no one knows his body better than him, so he only left a sentence: "Tell Her Majesty the Empress for me, thank her for her care these months" and left silently.

Now there is only one last step left - the interrogation of Ziegler.

Coria knew that the assassination of the Empress was just a cover for Ziegler, and his real purpose was to disrupt the political landscape of the Talon Kingdom.

"Leave the interrogation to me, and you can enjoy the banquet for a while. Coria said.

"I'm afraid not yet. ”

The sudden ringing of bells resounded over the inner city, and the noisy and panicked voices of the servants outside could be faintly heard in the main hall. The rush was certainly not meant to summon the influx of guests, but rather a warning.

"It's a dungeon. Coriya's face changed, and she immediately judged.

......

Underground of the Statue Hall.

Helena subconsciously raised her head and looked over the castle. A hurried bell rang down from the upper floors, not long after the attackers had left.

"Do you know him?" Phoenix was unimpressed, and she asked curiously, "Most of the people who come to me are for my strength. ”

From her first believer, Phoenix has seen countless people who have rushed for power. Although there are "interesting" people like Helena among the human race, they are very rare, and most of them are easy for her to control, and she will be willing to bow down to them if she shows them a little bit of what she is capable of.

"It's just an ignorant junior. Helena moved her right shoulder, the sleeves of her dress still had holes pierced by the shadow, but her skin had recovered to the point where she couldn't tell she had been hurt.

Phoenix was a little surprised.

During the Great War a hundred years ago, Helena did not have the ability to recover from this horror. At that time, although her abilities were strange, she would also bleed when she was injured, and in the process of fighting against the demon tide, Helena also had many deaths: "It seems that you have developed your abilities more deeply. ”

Monsters are innate, and they can easily control their abilities from birth, but humans are different. As far as Phoenix knows, humans have stolen the power of monsters through something called "Engraving" and used it to fight monsters. However, the "Engraving" has many limitations, and it is difficult for the wielder to perfectly control the power that does not belong to him. And due to the different physique of individuals, the power that can be exerted is even thinner.

Phoenix also discovers that different humans inherit her abilities very differently, and that there may not be one out of thousands of people like Doren and Luna who can perfectly carry her abilities. Helena, on the other hand, is the other extreme - her ability development is even greater than that of the monster itself, at least in Phoenix's memory, the monster that was sealed in Helena's body does not have these derivative abilities.

"Of course. Helena accepted the other party's praise with a grin: "After all, my ability is half a level higher than yours in terms of rank." ”

Phoenix snorted, but couldn't argue with it.

"That little imp is not to be feared, but you have been exposed, you should be able to guess who will be the next person, right?"

"Sith. Phoenix's voice was tinged with a hint of resentment, and if her power returned, the first thing she would do would be to crush the Sith countless times!

Helena continued: "With all due respect, I'm afraid your current strength is not enough to fight the Sith, how about you?

"A safe place?" Phoenix scoffed, "If it's not safe to connect with it, what's the safe place?"

"As long as you can win against the Sith and his minions, it is a safe place. Helena is still confident in this. In addition to Alyssa and Lin Qiu, Maran Fuyin is now also in this small country, and such equipment is an existence that cannot be ignored even at the end of the First Demon Tide War.

What's more, half of the Sith's strength was sealed in the body of the little girl named Ophelia, and in this case, Maranfin alone was enough to crush him to death.

"That's right. Phoenix thought about it, and it was her only option now.

"But before that, I have a question. Helena paused: "King Ryan...... Was it for your power in the first place?"
