Chapter 61: Hidden Dangers
Even though she had seen it with her own eyes, Red Lotus still couldn't believe it, and she didn't want to believe that Aegie would be a dragon knight.
He didn't guess that the black dragon that Edge was riding was a demon dragon, after all, among the dragons, there were also black dragons, not necessarily demon dragons. Besides, the Dragon Knight alone already made him unbelievable, and if he knew that it was the legendary Dragon Knight, he would probably go crazy.
The Demon Dragon Knight never appeared at all, because the Demon Dragon would not yield to humans.
Besides, even ordinary dragons are very few in number these days. Dragons live in the depths of ancient forests, and those places are thrilling. Don't talk about ordinary people, even the masters of the masters are difficult to relate. And if you want to become a dragon knight, you have to conquer the dragon, which is even more difficult to reach the sky. In the face of the power of the dragon, how many people can conquer?
The identity of the knight of Ai Jilong shocked the red lotus is inevitable. Who would have thought that the dragon knight, who could be the center of attention wherever he went, would be a princess's second-level guard?
"Ahh
Suddenly, a terrifying scream sounded, and Red Lotus's body suddenly splattered with blood, and fell straight to the ground. He was bitten off his right arm by Giroud as he sprinted up, and the excruciating pain made him nearly faint. After falling to the ground, he came to his senses again, and in his sight was a black dragon with the power to override everything and look down on the world.
At this point, Edge jumps off Giroud's back, causing him to change back into the form of a dragon so that he will not be seen by unnoticed visitors.
Seeing that the dragon in front of her could change its size at will, Red Lotus was surprised. He didn't dare to imagine how many secrets the man in front of him still had, he was already afraid from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at Age, he thought that Edge was a devil.
"You will surely die, I can tell you for sure. But I still have to ask you, who hired you to kill Princess Kate?" Expressionlessly looking down at the red lotus who fell to the ground, Age asked directly.
Red Lotus covered Giroud's right arm, which had been bitten off by Giroud, with her left hand, revealing an extremely painful expression. His eyes widened, and he obviously wouldn't tell Aggie anything. At this point, he had no scruples, and he knew that he would be killed by Edge. In front of the dragon knight, there is no possibility of escape. When the heart is in despair, it no longer cares.
"I'm not interested in torturing people, you'd better hurry up and make your choice. "Several of the soldiers brought with him have already been killed, and it is estimated that other soldiers will arrive soon, and Aegie does not want to waste time.
Red Lotus still glared at him, but after a moment he rushed to Age, flames erupting from his body, and hugged Age tightly with his left hand. At the same time, the air around him was constantly fluctuating, and he seemed extremely irritable.
"Age, be careful! he wants to blow himself up and die with you!"
"Hmph, haha~ It's an honor to be able to pull a dragon knight to accompany the funeral!"
Ai Ji frowned, it seemed that Red Lotus had given the answer. Faced with the danger of Red Lotus wanting to blow himself up, he raised the Moros Blade, and with a "poof", he simply plunged into Red Lotus's heart.
"Ah~~!" Honglian looked up to the sky and screamed in pain, her body straightened, her eyes bulged out, and then there was no movement.
His heart had stopped beating, and he was killed by Edge's piercing of the heart. The man was dead, and his self-explosion did not reach the point of no return, and then stopped. He definitely didn't expect that Edge would be so ruthless and pierce his heart directly. Ordinary people would never do this.
"Let someone else collect your body. Glancing at the hideously dead Red Lotus, Ai Ji Gu muttered to himself and left directly.
Soon after he left, a group of guards rushed in, and they were chasing after the soldiers that Edge had brought out. In addition, the king also sent people to hunt down the red lotus, and now the banks of the Bisse River are the focus of investigation. Agi and Red Lotus were fighting there just now, and they could naturally notice something unusual.
When they arrived, they were all surprised to see the tragic death of the red lotus. Who killed Red Lotus? As a clown killer of the Twelve Divine Graces, how could Red Lotus be killed so easily? Looking at his appearance, he was killed by piercing his heart, and his right arm was bitten off, so it can be guessed that it was not done by humans.
From this, it can be deduced that the person who killed the Red Lotus has a high level of strength and a powerful contract demonic beast. Who could such a person be? Why did he kill Red Lotus?
The person in charge of investigating the Red Lotus was a presiding judge of the Inquisition, appointed by the king himself, whose name was Balza. Balza was a stout middle-aged man with a large scar on his face, silver hair, and a huge axe on his back, which was very recognizable.
In his early years, he was a well-known bounty hunter in the royal capital, and one of the fifteen gold-level bounty hunters. Later, he was appreciated by the king and promoted to the presiding judge of the Inquisition, whose main duty was to hunt down the prisoners.
Now that Red Lotus has been killed, the clue to find out the real murderer who wants to kill Princess Kate is broken. Balza frowned at this, it definitely didn't end like this. Red Lotus's death has caused more problems. He had already understood that Honglian's death was an act of extermination by the mastermind behind the scenes.
The person who killed the Red Lotus must be found. Regardless of whether this person is a good person or a bad person, he must know Red Lotus better than others when he kills Red Lotus. Only by finding him can we carry out follow-up investigations.
Balza knew that such a decision was a little helpless, and it felt like he had made excuses for himself, and the matter of the investigation was preempted. But in order to give the king an account, he had to track it down.
Examining Red Lotus's body closely, he found a small black scale on Red Lotus's severed right arm shoulder. He was attracted by this small black scale, and with the experience of a gold-level bounty hunter, his first feeling was that this black scale was not simple, perhaps this was the key clue to track down the person who killed the Red Lotus.
He picked up the black scales and looked at them carefully, and smelled what it was like. To his surprise, he felt a magic that he had never encountered before. That magic is not the magic that remains of a magic trick, nor is it the magic contained in a regular magic crystal nucleus. This kind of magic, even a small one, gives people a feeling of oppression, even suffocation.
"There is a smell of death. ”
After frowning and thinking for a long time, Balza finally came up with words that could sum up the magic emitted by the black scales. It was a suffocating smell of death, similar to the breath of necromantic magic. But it wasn't the magic of necromancy, it was born out of the breath of death.
What a strange thing it must be! Not dead, but smelling of dead. There is life, but it is gloomy and dead. Barr couldn't figure out what the black scales were, so he cautiously put them away, intending to take them to the court and ask the knowledgeable sage to help investigate.
Edgey and Giroud traveled to the lower reaches of the Pizza River, a place far away from the city of Caanster to clean their wounds. He had to get in good shape and avoid being suspected when he returned to Casanster.
Originally, he didn't mind being known that he had killed Red Lotus, but considering that the king had sent Balza alone to investigate the matter, he decided to hide it in order to avoid trouble. What's more, Kate knows that he doesn't have the strength to kill the Red Lotus, and now that he suddenly has such strength, I'm afraid Kate will suspect a lot of things because of this.
After all, in order to avoid trouble, he decided to hide himself.
But he didn't know that when Giroud transformed into a giant dragon and bit off Red Lotus's right arm, he left a scale behind. And this scale has already been discovered by Balza. Balza planned to hand it over to the sages of the court for investigation, and if they found out about the demon dragon through the black scales, it would have a great impact.
This cannot be said to be Age's negligence. Giroud is a magic dragon, and it's normal for him to drop scales when he fights like that. How would they have thought that a piece of dragon scale would become a hidden danger for them?
