The impact of Roland and Clark's conversation was definitely not as simple as saying goodbye to two old friends. The power of the Lord of the Gray Tower is too great, and his vision is far beyond ordinary people, and some things that he thinks are small have dropped a bombshell on the already panicked blue lion. The current king, Hearn Siggett, the last official member of Hearn's royal family, was found dead in his study by the attendants. There were no traces left on the corpse, and the preliminary results of the court physician were that the king had died of a recurrence of old wounds due to too much worry.

The sky of the blue lion has fallen.

The ministers lost their admonitions, the nobles lost their allegiance, and the citizens lost their trusted patrons. Sigget's death could not have been worse at this point in time, and he hadn't even had time to explain the details of the Nezumi Hunt Act. At this time, there were no decisive courtiers like Marcus or Atticus in the royal capital, which caused the news of the king's death to spread at a rapid pace, and by the time Roland came to Crimson Pupil again, the atmosphere in the streets had changed completely.

"What about Lady Emia and Miss Hill?" the old magician almost slammed the door open, and asked the one-eyed man who was looking at the whole table inside.

Maybe it was frightened by Roland's rare excitement, or maybe it was because she was too involved in the content of the information in front of her, and One-Eye didn't realize that the old man at this time couldn't see the slightest of his usual lethargic demeanor in his eyes, and those eyes should belong to the energetic young man.

"Hill seems to be a royal medical advisor, and Amia is pretending to be her assistant, who should be examining the body of our majesty right now. One-eyed, who had taken off his mask, rubbed his eyes, pushed the case file in front of him, and looked at Roland, "Seriously, I'm getting more and more confused now, it happened too suddenly, and there was no warning at all. ”

The magician sighed, and reverted to the image of the wise old man in front of One-Eye. He took out his pipe and poured some tobacco into it without hurrying, "yes, how could things in this world be predicted. Some people act like natural disasters and don't care about the lives of others. ”

This sounds like an ordinary complaint from the underground leader, but in fact, Roland is lamenting the huge impact of his old friend's whim. However, Clark's visit also brought answers to many things, such as the king's unusual behavior. People possessed by demons usually have no chance of surviving, because their souls have been harvested by the evil spirits that occupy their bodies, and although Roland does not believe that Siggett is a person who will make a deal with the devil, that doesn't matter anymore, in the realm of magic, the earliest gray robes are absolute authority.

"What are you looking at?" exclaimed, and the magician's attention was drawn to the case file in front of One-Eye. After the latter nodded in agreement, he put his pipe in his mouth, walked over to the table and began to flip through the information. This content comes from all over the kingdom and is passed on in various ways by the eyeliner of One-Eye's men, including even mentions of elven troops that appear in the molten iron. Among the messages, one quickly caught Roland's attention.

"The King's last command?" the message came from the attendants in the royal castle, and according to him, the so-called last order was given in the early morning of this day. The content of the order was that the king demanded that all nobles and lords with armies in the country immediately form a coalition and advance from the south to the north to eliminate all the large nezumi groups in the territory, and the final goal of the march was directed towards the former county of Saron.

It's a more symbolic than practical command, and although the Nezumi Wave is now on the wane, that doesn't mean that their numbers are no longer fearful. On the contrary, the damage done to the kingdom by the rat people who wandered around due to lack of food continued unabated, and even now, the communication routes between the various settlements were not safe, and the messenger had to be accompanied by a guard to ensure the safe arrival of the information.

Proposing a counterattack in such a situation is only an expression of the royal family's will to fight and desire to restore order to the kingdom. At the same time, for the common people, this order is more like an encouragement from the king, and the desire to return to the old life can reconcile the contradictions between people to the greatest extent and lead them to direct their hatred towards foreign enemies. There was nothing wrong with that, but Roland's keen insight and experience made him vaguely worried.

"Where was this order sent?" he shook the purge order in his hand and removed the pipe from his mouth with the other hand.

"The whole territory, even the Molten Iron City. With the personality of the Grand Knight, he should immediately respond to the king's orders, and the army he led to the aid of the molten iron is also the most elite in the kingdom now. I just don't know if the Iron Knight will choose to return to the royal capital to maintain order when he receives the news of the king's death, or continue to carry out this order. One-eyed rubbed her eyebrows and said, she also noticed this information, but considering the death of the king that followed, the lady who had been in the underworld for a long time did not think that it would continue to take effect.

Roland nodded noncommittally and continued to read other information. Just then, the door was opened for the second time, and Ciel, dressed as a doctor and still wearing a raven mask on his face, and Aemia, wearing a veiled top hat, walked in. They weren't too surprised to see the magician, apparently thinking that Roland's presence was expected. "It's not good. "The first thing the Dementor Doctor said when he walked through the door was to draw attention to the others.

"The death of the king is not good news for any country. With the exception of a very few tyrants. One-Eye stepped forward, expertly took the red witch's hat and coat, and hung it on the hanger by the door.

"No, not the king. When we went to the castle, they happened to find the second deceased. Elsa looked at Roland with a sad face.

The old man raised his eyebrows, indicating that he was really interested in this matter, "The second deceased?"

"A kitchen helper. Even the king's kitchen was not too lively during this period, so they didn't find him until we went. Hill, as a competent doctor, naturally introduced the deceased, "Died of a cut throat and a sharp weapon." I'd say the wound came from a dagger or a knife in the kitchen, but those stupid guys were sure it was made by the nezumi just because of the hairs found around the deceased. ”

"Hairy?nezumi, you mean there are nezumi in the royal castle?" One-Eye frowned, and asked three questions in a row. There are nezumi killing people in the royal castle, which makes things instantly responsible.

Elsa took her lover's hand and motioned for her to calm down, "It's just hair, I'm sure it's from the nezumi, but the rest isn't so sure." ”

"Let me guess, so it was suggested that the nezumi had infiltrated the castle, killed the cook, and poisoned the king's food?" Roland's tone sounded like a joke, but there was no smile on his face.

"In the wine, to be exact. The king has been drinking a lot lately, I can understand that, and he died with an empty glass at hand. Hill said.

"Is it too bad to be sure if the king died of poisoning?" asked One-Eye, shaking his head.

"The king's body is sacred, and no one has the right to harm his body except his blood relatives and wife. Unfortunately, none of our Majesty Siggert has anyone who meets this condition. Not even a lover. The doctor said angrily, she thought she had accepted all the reasonable and unreasonable rules of the human kingdom, but now she found that it seemed that this was not the case.

The magician nodded, knowing that the real murderer of the "king" was the culprit, and he quickly realized that all this was probably the other party's plan. This kind of trick is naturally impossible to use to deceive wizards, but it is more than enough to deal with ordinary people. A strong sense of unease appeared in Roland's body, and it is highly likely that the death of the Devil King was not a good thing when he was being used.

The development of things is falling at a high speed in a direction where there is no hope.
