Volume 2 The Beginning of the Legend Chapter 85 Reactions from All Sides
Russell read the letter carefully, lest there be a slight omission, but when he searched every corner of the letter, he found no clue other than the few lines.
"So, that's all there is to this letter?"
Russell asked as he returned the letter to the table.
Bishop Vane smiled and replied, "You don't understand the contents of this letter because you didn't have enough information before.
There's one thing though, I think you should be able to draw conclusions.
That is, the origin of the accomplices who conspired with the Marquis of Red!"
Russell crossed his arms, nodded and said: "Bishop, you are right, through the content of this letter, we can eliminate many forces, the church is still relatively calm so far, and it is impossible for the royal family to overthrow its rule."
In that case, there is only one force left - the Wizards' Association!"
Bishop Vane retracted his smile and said in thought, "I didn't expect the traitor of the Heka Kingdom to have such a high status.
The Marquis of Red is a cousin of the current royal family, and if he does succeed in his rebellion, he will also have a more orthodox status as the new King Majesty.
However, the Marquis of Red is only a foreign minister, and he does not have a lot of troops in his hands, so why would he take such a big risk to plot a rebellion?"
Russell suddenly said his guess,
"Maybe it's the Magicians' Guild, or maybe someone in the Guild has given the Marquis an undeniable benefit, making him dare to take risks to plan this!"
Russell's conjecture immediately alerted the thoughtful Bishop Vane, who agreed: "Knight Chief Russell, your conjecture is very reasonable, but I think it may be that some high-ranking figure in the Wizards' Guild is plotting a rebellion with Marquis Red.
In recent years, the higher-ups of the Wizards' Association have become more and more interested in easing relations with the Heka Kingdom, and we welcome this.
However, this may cause resistance from certain conservative forces in the Wizards' Guild, which, as far as I know, also make up a large portion of the Guild, so it is likely that this group of people will disrupt this important meeting. ”
"Could it be that at today's meeting, the mission of the Wizards' Guild didn't question the reason for Francis' disappearance?" Russell asked.
The bishop smiled and replied, "The mission did question about it, but after we told them that they would continue to search for Francis's whereabouts, the mission stopped being aggressive, and we even talked about an early date for the start of official trade before the meeting was interfered with by the captain of the guard who reported the situation!"
Russell said, "It seems that there is not a unified voice within the association, and the mission wants to promote peace between the two sides as soon as possible." ”
Bishop Vane glanced at the sky outside the window and suggested, "It's not too early, go back and rest."
Now that we have evidence of Marquis Red's collusion with foreign enemies, he is no longer able to escape our grasp.
Until then, I still need your help!
By the way, please return the invisibility cloak to that old fellow, if it's a little late, maybe he'll come looking for you in the middle of the night!"
Russell nodded, and wanted to turn and leave the room.
Suddenly, Russell turned his head and asked, "Bishop Vane, who is the old man who cares about the upper echelons of the temple, and why are you even a little worried about him?"
Bishop Vane didn't seem to want to answer Russell's question, waved his hand and prevaricated: "He's just an old man guarding the treasure, you don't have to pay too much attention to him, it's still important to smash the conspiracy of the Marquis of Red now!"
Russell saw that the bishop did not want to mention the matter, so he gave up asking questions and walked straight to the upper floor of the temple.
Meanwhile, in the brightly lit diplomatic building, Marquis de Reid smashed one precious treasure after another.
"Raven, you told me that you didn't see the thief's face clearly, you chased him for so long and didn't see his face clearly, what do I want you to do?"
The masked man Raven sat on his knees, not daring to raise his head to bear the wrath of the Marquis of Red.
Oddly enough, Raven is so confident in his speed that he barely loses to anyone else in speed competitions.
However, today he lost to an unknown person, and after he chased him out of the roof of the building, the man disappeared without a trace!
Later, when the Guards inspected the diplomatic building, it was discovered that there was a passage hidden in the ceiling for men to run, reminiscent of a group of craftsmen who had repaired the ceiling a year earlier.
However, when the guards went to look for the craftsmen who were working on the ceiling, they were surprised to find that the craftsmen's quarters had long since been empty.
According to the landlord of the house, the group had already checked out after the renovation work had been completed, and left Dinah City in a hurry.
At this moment, a cup smashed on Raven's back, and the pain made his body tremble, interrupting Raven's thoughts, and the voice of Marquis of Red came from front of him,
"I trust your strength very much, and I sent you to guard my office, but instead of guarding the room, you let the thief steal my things, you say, how can I punish you?"
Seeing this, the raven immediately expressed his loyalty and said, "My subordinates are willing to sacrifice my life for the Marquis, please give my subordinates a chance to atone for their sins!"
When Marquis Red heard this, he smiled playfully,
"Oh, are you telling the truth? Then I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins!"
The battle-experienced raven saw the marquis's seemingly amiable smile, and suddenly his body trembled slightly.
