Chapter 273: The Mystery of Kay Wharton's Death
"About an hour ago, in the midst of our encounter with a coalition of about 8,000 orcs, the Shadow suddenly appeared, and he was sent by the Elven King to find out the purpose of my trip to the Elven Forest. Wang Xu whispered a response to Yaheng Baker, his tone was very cold, and he didn't seem to care much about the appearance of the shadow at all.
"How did you find him?" asked Yaheng Baker with difficulty swallowing a mouthful of saliva, staring nervously into Wang Xu's eyes, and asked in a trembling voice.
"He's just a beginner-level saint-level thief, his stealth ability is limited, how can he escape our eyes. Wang Xu replied to Yaheng Baker without sincerity, and as he spoke, Wang Xu's eyes were always fixed on the snow-white mane on the neck of the unicorn under his seat, carefully observing the parasites that might appear and his most hated parasites.
"So, where has the shadow gone now?" asked Ahyan Baker with a lingering palpitation, his eyes full of fear as he looked at him.
The most amazing thing for Wang Xu is that once Yaheng Baker is nervous, his eyes will blink frequently when he speaks, coupled with his terrified gaze, it will make him act like a child who has done something wrong, acting in a panic, as if he wants to escape but does not know where to flee.
"The Shadow has left, probably going back to report to my father, because he already knows the purpose of my coming to the Elven Forest," Wang Xu slowly turned his head to look at Yaheng Baker, looking at the former important minister who was like a frightened bird at the moment, and comforted him in a low voice: "Perhaps, the Shadow is afraid of being killed by me and fled, because, in front of us, the Shadow is like an ant, it may be pinched to death every minute, you can rest assured." ”
After listening to Wang Xu's words, Yaheng Baker exhaled a long breath of turbidity, the frequency of blinking his eyes slowly decreased, and the light of fear in his eyes gradually dimmed, turning into a puzzled gaze, Wang Xu didn't understand what Yaheng Baker was wondering about.
"Don't you want to know the main reason why the Elf King killed Yaheng Baker, he just said that he accepted the order of the Elf King and did something very sorry for you, don't you want to know what this is?" Before Yaheng Baker could speak, Afra's sudden question analyzed the cause of Yaheng Baker's doubts.
It turned out that Yaheng Baker's doubt was that he didn't understand why Wang Xu didn't ask himself what he had done that couldn't help him.
"Hey," Wang Xu pouted with a wry smile, squinted at Afra, and replied in a low voice, "After seeing you and Ahyan Baker come together, and knowing that the Baker family escaped, I understood that the Elven King must have something to do with Kay Wharton's death." ”
"That's right, you're really sensitive," Afra said with a fierce look in her eyes: "I didn't expect that the elven king would not even let go of his own son, although he did not personally send someone to snipe his son, but he revealed his son's whereabouts to the enemy, he did this to the death of his son, is this what a father would do, is this what a king would do?"
The more she spoke, the louder Afra's voice became, and the more she spoke, the more excited Afra became, her eyes were about to fall out of her sockets, and her eyeballs were covered with thin green bloodshots, and even her forehead and neck were covered with thick green tendons.
Looking at Afra's extremely angry appearance, Wang Xu felt that she seemed to be about to burst her blood vessels at any time, and she was not far from a stroke.
"Actually," Wang Xu whispered in a calm tone, "I don't think Kay Wharton is really dead, although I don't know much about what kind of person my brother is, but as a person who has been dealing with Downs Wharton in the north for twenty years, it shouldn't be easy to be assassinated." ”
Seeing Wang Xu's calm appearance, Afra was angry, slapped his horse to Wang Xu's left side, and yelled at Wang Xu: "Is your suspicion grounded, don't you forget, the Terran forbidden spell mage named Sauron and the great magician named Warren, as well as the team led by them, all witnessed the death of Prince Kay, and Prince Kay Wharton is your own brother, he is dead, aren't you sad at all?"
Although Afra, who only eats vegetarian food, has no bad breath, because she is so excited, when she roars, she still squirts huge droplets of saliva visible to the naked eye at Wang Xu.
After dodging the drooldrops that flashed with wonderful light, Wang Xu glanced at Afra in disgust, and said to her with a calm expression: "I said it all, Kay Wharton's death is very strange in itself, and if I become very angry because of his death, it will be just the way of the Elf King and Downs Wharton, their purpose in assassinating Kay Wharton is to provoke me and try to make me make some irrational decisions in anger, I will not be fooled." ”
"You ......" After listening to Wang Xu's reasonable, well-founded, and disciplined answer, Afra, who was supposed to stand at the highest point of morality and planned to educate Wang Xu fiercely, was suddenly choked and choked speechless, because she couldn't find any reason to refute Wang Xu's words, so she could only grit her teeth and stare at Wang Xu, secretly sulking.
"You know, I see another layer of conspiracy in this matter, and I seem to be being calculated by more than two people!" Wang Xu looked up again at the starry sky that occasionally leaked through the cracks in the canopy, and he found that the sky was darker, the sky had turned a deep blue, and the stars above the canopy had become even more.
"You...... What do you mean?" Afra couldn't understand what Wang Xu was implying to him, what was meant by more than two people being calculated, could it be that in addition to the Elven King and Downs Wharton, there were people involved in this conspiracy, this is impossible.
"Suppose, if Kay Wharton is not dead, then what is the purpose of him pretending to be dead?" Wang Xu turned his head to look at Afra on his left, pursed the corner of his mouth on the left side, stared at her with a sneer, and asked a strange question.
"If Kay Wharton did not die and escaped the assassination attempt, then his purpose in pretending to be dead must be to run quickly, so that the enemy will not find out that he is not dead, and not be chased by the killers. Afra replied weakly, not believing her own guesses.
"You don't know my own brother Kay Wharton, although I don't know him very well, but, from my childhood contacts, I know that he is an extremely intelligent man, no worse than Downs Wharton, so he may be playing dead for the same purpose as the Elven King and Downs Wharton, all to sow discord between me and the other two. Wang Xu replied with a wry smile.
"What is the purpose of his doing this, and what are the benefits?" Afra shook her head slightly and asked Wang Xu in a low voice, it was obvious that she did not believe Wang Xu's guess.
"I've just said his purpose, as for the benefits," Wang Xu took a deep breath and replied helplessly: "At least two ......" (to be continued.) )
