Chapter 124: The Third Family
"This mage is walking so fast, what kind of spell is this?" asked the spell advisor beside him.
The dry toothman replied in a low voice, "I can't be sure, maybe it's the Elemental Escape Technique, or it may be the Stealth Technique." ”
"Invisibility?!" Guru reflexively glanced around, trying to find any anomalies.
"Don't worry, it's almost impossible for a mage to use invisibility, even if he is a mage from the Law Management Department, it's possible to use a disposable magic tool, but this kind of ability is too expensive, I don't think he will use it here. ”
Hearing what the dry toothman said, Guru breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go back first." ”
The three of them walked through the living room to a room on the third floor—not the study where Gülu usually used to deal with affairs, but the only small lounge on the third floor without any windows.
Before entering the room, the dry tooth man closed the door, and wanted to add a small spell that could eliminate the sound, this spell could not really isolate the sound, that belonged to the category of sound spells in heretical spells, but because it was quite practical and there was no danger, some mages studied and changed this kind of sound insulation spell with a similar effect, and the effect was about to make others stick to the door panel and not hear the normal speech inside.
Every time they spoke in this room, he did it.
But today, Li Duma actually waved his hand lightly to stop him.
"Do you think he'll believe us?" Guru wasn't stupid at all, what he lacked was experience and experience, and at this point, he had already figured out the deep meaning of what his uncle said.
"This guy is very direct and very confident, and if he doubts us, I think he will say it directly. Of course, it was Li Duma who answered.
"Then you mean he doesn't doubt us anymore?"
"No, he just hasn't found a reason to suspect us for the time being, and I think he'll go find someone else who is suspicious. ”
"Gulim family, I don't think they have the courage to do this, and they've always wanted to go through the path of the Legal Management Department, how can they attack a legal management department mage who hasn't figured out their position yet?"
"I think it's very unlikely that they'll do it, and that's what I find strange, who else has the strength to fight for this land right now, besides us and them?"
Güru didn't reply immediately, he didn't have a clear idea in his head yet.
"I think the killer who was killed was also a mage. The dry toothman, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.
This is actually quite normal, and if you want to assassinate a mage, it is naturally safer and safer to find another mage.
Of course, what the dry tooth man wants to say is more than that, "The goal is to lead the mage, and most of the people who attack are also lead mages, although the killer has been burned by internal fire, but not completely destroyed, this person is definitely not from the Gulim family." ”
"Isn't it too easy to expose the Gulim family's own talents?"
"Yes, they can hire those freelance mages to be killers, but freelance mages would never die like this. Suddenly, the dry tooth man said something that neither of the other two understood.
Whoever encounters something they don't understand will become more serious, so Li Duma motioned for him to continue.
"That killer died from spells like internal fire burning, and in a battle between mages, no one will use this spell because it needs to come into contact with the opponent's body for a while before it can take effect, so this spell usually has two uses, one is to execute, and the other is to extinguish the mouth. I believe it wasn't the former, otherwise the proud Guru wouldn't have asked us at all. ”
The dry tooth man paused, as if to let the two of them digest it, before he continued: "If you want to kill your mouth, it is usually in the form of a spell, but it is impossible for a hired free mage to do such a thing to himself. So he was either willingly driven by others, or he was forcibly cast by a high-ranking mage. No matter which one it is, it is not something that the Gulimu family can do, and I can even say that there is not a single mage in the surrounding circles who has this identity and cultivation. ”
"You mean, there is a more powerful force than us and the Gulim family, who secretly covets this puppet?"
"The Hayandov family?" said Guyul's voice trembled slightly, and a person can only speak like this when he is very nervous.
The conversation in the room continued, but Arrogant was now gone.
Of course, he didn't leave immediately just now, although the reactions of the three people at the scene didn't feel like an accident to him, but he preferred to believe the reactions of these people in private afterwards.
Taking advantage of the little time they caught up, Ao jumped to the roof of the mansion, and kept an eye on the movements of the three of them, so he quickly determined that it was not the people from this family who attacked last night, but he still didn't leave, because he wanted to wait for the other party to help him analyze the possible attackers, until he heard the name of the Hayandov family.
Of course, he hadn't heard of this family, but he remembered that the bartender had said last night that neither the Gaotanambaf nor the Gulim family were the most prominent families in the neighborhood, so it should be the Hayandov family at the top.
Pride once again appears in the Pool Tavern.
A few ghazals, and he got the information he wanted.
Where is the prominence of the Hayandov family? The bartender summed it up in one sentence - their family name is the rank of the family.
The surname of the nobles of the empire is divided into five ranks, the first order is Bo, only the blood of the emperor can use this surname rank, and the second order is limited to those who are from the Bo Ou clan and the Koga clan. Therefore, the upper two orders are born, and the vast majority of other origins are distinguished by the lower three orders.
The third order is that only the families who were honored a hundred years ago in the imperial calendar can use this surname rank, and those who can still use this surname rank can still use this surname rank, which proves that the family inheritance has been close to four hundred years, so this type of nobility is also called the ancient aristocracy.
The fourth order, after a hundred years of the imperial calendar, the families who were honored with dignitaries three hundred years ago, using this surname, they are called medieval nobles.
The fifth-order Du, needless to say, the nobles who were only honored after three hundred years of the empire were all of this surname rank, such as the two families of Gaotanambaf and Gulimu. They are also known as the new aristocracy, but they generally don't want to be called that to their faces.
The Hayan Duofu family is not only the only medieval nobleman in Hajisi, but even the only medieval nobleman in Jidan Kanskai, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most prominent.
When the Hayan Duofu family was at its peak, he was the right minister of the imperial court, and there were two deputy ministers in the family, three Sakai ministers, and six nobles, and the limelight was really unparalleled.
But that was 300 years ago.
The current Hayan Duofu family, only one Sakai minister in charge, not Sakai Shou, this is too much worse than the ancestral scenery, the only one who can do it is the eldest son, who became a governor before he was thirty years old, and it is certain that he will surpass his father in the future, but if he really recovers the lintel, there is no hope for the next three generations.
Such a medieval nobleman, if he only looks at the cards, is almost the same as an outdated nobleman, why does Guru Du Gaotanbaf tremble with nervousness?
People who think so are certainly not nobles - how can the background of a family be seen by looking at the bright side?
The Hayan Duofu family has been inherited for more than 300 years, and it is difficult for outsiders to find out just by branching out their relatives, not to mention the old friends of various friends, to challenge this huge network of relationships, just thinking about it can make many people panic. Therefore, although the Hayandov family seems to be very low-key at present, and it is rare to see any movement, this move, even the first-class emerging nobles in the local area, can't help but be nervous.
Will it be the Hayandov family?
It is impossible for the bartender to answer this question, and he will not dare to talk nonsense no matter how much money he gives. So you have to rely on yourself.
The fiefdom of the Hayandov family is not in Hajisiyuan, not even in a circle, and it has to go north from the circle for more than fifty years, but the influence of the nobles is not affected by this distance?
Ao Zongheng didn't rush to the fiefdom of the Hayan Duofu family immediately, he first went back to the Trench Corner Hotel, he wanted to see what the other party had done after the assassination failed.
There is no trace of entry in the room, Ao Zongheng has made arrangements in all the doors and windows, as long as someone enters, these arrangements will inevitably be destroyed, in order to prevent the other party from teleporting in, he has also done his hands and feet in the room and the bed, and these are still intact.
Today, many people have come to inquire about Aozong, and after receiving two polin silvers from Aozong, the boss and his buddies helped him write down the time and origin of these people and even what they asked on a piece of paper.
There was almost no valuable content on the paper, and most of the people who came belonged to small families in the neighborhood, and they wanted to see which side to bet on rather than to participate in the competition.
However, not all "visitors" are small characters, and the people of the Gulim family also came, and the fiefdom of the Gulim family is farther away from the Haji Siyuan than the Gaodanambaf family, so they have sent a few people from the clan as agents, and they have been living in the circle recently, so that they can pay attention to the changes in the village. And the "visitor" who came today was one of them. But judging from the questions they asked, they didn't have as much knowledge of the information in the circle as the Gaoda Nanba family, so it was even more unlikely that they would have arranged to assassinate themselves last night. However, it cannot be ruled out that the other party deliberately disguised himself as a message blocker in order to confuse himself.
It seems that they still can't do it without meeting them in person for a while.
In this way, Ao Zongheng retired from the room and disappeared from Ha Ji Siyuan, and everyone from all walks of life soon received the news - since the boss and the guy can collect the money of Ao Zongheng, they can naturally collect other people's money - it is nothing more than to report the whereabouts of this mage master, this is no problem, you didn't say that you won't let us tell you right, right?
The mage of the Dharma Management Department suddenly appeared and disappeared mysteriously, no one knew where he went, but no one cared where he went anymore, because the Great Temple of the Death God Festival was about to begin.
