Canor.

The traitor, the initiator of the events of the "Winter Moon", was executed by the former Round Table candidate Melia, and in order to punish his sins, the V decided to behead him and hang his head on the city wall for five days as a warning to future generations.

The description of Canor in the biography of the V is only two lines. In fact, the royal family did not have too direct contact with Canor, at the end of the Hundred Years' War, the fifth invested a lot of manpower and materials, and the excessive investment caused the inevitable poverty and famine in the rear, in that extraordinary period, the fifth took the decision to let the commoners fend for themselves, and the only resources were in the hands of the aristocracy, this decision laid the groundwork for the later contradictions between the two sides, and if there was no rebellion, Canor was just a small person in this special period.

"Winter Moon" refers to the month-long dark period after the coup d'état, when the rebels surrendered and the aristocracy regained the upper hand. The sentence against Canor did not quell the anger of the nobles, and the White Terror lasted for more than a month, and according to incomplete statistics, the number of civilians killed was as high as thousands, and the number of missing people was countless.

The rebellion of nine years ago could be said to have been sealed during the reign of Henry V, but Albert now thinks that there is still a series of unsolved mysteries in it, and if it were not for the presence of the Assassins, he probably would never have revisited this period of history.

Sophia's departure became the fuse of the time, which directly led to Melia's conflict with the rebels, and also involved the third party of the Church. At that time, Sophia was young and ignorant, but if they looked deeper, they still don't know who led Sophia out of the palace.

You must know that it takes not only courage to get out of the palace in that situation, but also a careful plan, and Sophia can't do this, and she is afraid that she will be captured by the church and the kingdom army before she arrives at the city gates.

Albert had a vague feeling that he had found a clue.

- If Canor and Ella were to be removed from this history, Sophia would undoubtedly fall into the hands of the rebels, and in which case, who were the winners, and what was their purpose in doing so?

An unusual noise in the archives interrupted Albert's thoughts.

"Henry VI. ”

With a low, hoarse voice, an arm slowly reached out of the ground. Immediately after his masked head, he propped up his body in a twisted manner, and finally stood in front of Albert. He grinned and smiled gloomily: "It's really worthy of Henry VI, under the premise that your personal guards are all dead, you are still in the mood to read here." ”

Normally, Assassins don't bother with their targets, but Henry VI was so special to Theophalan that he didn't want to kill him as directly and decisively as he did with any other target.

More subtly, it seems that Albert chose an isolated burial place for himself. Theopharan not only knew about the Henrys, they also studied their former rivals, and they were no strangers to the sleeping places of the Henrys' ancestors.

Stone doors made of granite are endowed with enchantments, meaning that outsiders will never be able to disturb them.

At the same time, Albert also saw the black crow on the other arm.

The totemic mark was familiar to him, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen a similar mark.

"First question, what does it have to do with the events of nine years ago?"

Albert was calm in the face of the Assassins at hand. Asking for information directly from the enemy's mouth is always the most direct and effective means.

His composure upset the Assassin as he raised his hand, and three silver needles shot straight into Albert's shoulder.

The part hit by these three silver needles is not enough to kill the target immediately, and the venom that seeps into the body will only bring severe pain to the target, although it will eventually usher in death, but the venom will make the pain last for three days and three nights before killing the other party. However, he guessed that Albert would not last that long, an hour at most, and the other party wept bitterly and begged him to end his suffering.

At the very least, these three silver needles were enough for Henry VI to let go of his pride and complacency.

"Ding—"

When the silver needle was about to pierce Albert's arm, a pale blue barrier stood in front of him out of thin air, and the moment the barrier appeared, the temperature in the room plummeted.

"Triple helix. ”

Albert picked up the silver pendant on his chest and looked at it: "This necklace is a token given to the first king by the winter dragon Herro, and after the death of the first king, the pendant was handed over to every king as the inheritance of the throne." As the name suggests, this necklace is set up with a triple defensive barrier to keep the kings safe. ”

The Crow Assassin took a sip, the strange short knife in his sleeve sliding into his palm.

"Your strength is not on the same level as the Winter Dragon, but we all have the bargaining chips we want from each other at the moment. As he spoke, the corners of Albert's mouth rose slightly, and he said: "I learned a lot from Ei, he told me that if you want to get chips, the most effective way is to gamble - use the information you know to exchange my head, this gamble, do you dare to participate?"

Facing Albert, the Crow Assassin felt a cold sweat behind him.

He heard that Henry VI was not a knight and that his skills were no different from ordinary people, and in this case, he had obviously driven the other party into a corner, but why did he have the illusion that he had been seen through?

Which king would use his head as a bargaining chip?

This is unheard of!

"The rules are simple, the triple helix represents three questions, and every time you answer one of my questions, I eliminate one enchantment. ”

"If you're trying to stall for time......"

"Stalling for time?" Albert smiled, "You've got our position wrong, I can swagger out of this room in front of you right now, and there's nothing you can do about it." But I intend to give you a chance to put us on an equal footing and give you hope that you can kill me. However, you have limited time, and if you don't answer my three chances in full before my reinforcements arrive, you'll miss out on that one chance. ”

Albert saw that the Assassin was moved, and he pressed the pendant with his index finger at the right time.

The light of the silver-white barrier has dimmed a little, and the temperature in the room has risen slightly.

"This is the first barrier...... So, here comes the first formal question – let's start with what happened in the palace nine years ago. ”

"Now, tell me who else in the palace had the mark on your right hand?"
