Luke said disdainfully, "Profiteers? I'm not a businessman, why do you call me a profiteer! I'm an Imperial agent, and if I invest 50 million Imperial Marks, making money is just a side gain. ”

"What else do you have for this purpose?"

"You don't understand."

"You understand, don't I understand?"

"I don't understand."

"If you don't tell me, you must be preparing to sell me!"

"Ah, yes, yes...... Now that the imperial capital is willing to pay a lot of money for you, there are too many people, and I want to think about who I should sell you to. ”

Who thought that Dai'er would not be angry, but asked curiously: "How much do you think I can sell?" ”

……

While Dale and Luke are hiding in the lower city and settling down, Clear Sky is facing the Empire's investigation.

Princess Daile came to visit, and not many people knew her whereabouts. She spent a long time alone with Clear Sky at the museum, and was attacked on the way back, and Clear Sky was suspicious.

Moreover, Baron Sam Alvin, the vice-captain of the Third Brigade of the Royal Knights, died in the museum, and the cause of death was only the testimony of the museum steward, and Clear Sky also had a certain suspicion.

It's just that due to Clear Sky's special status at this time, the Imperial Secret Intelligence Bureau and the Imperial Capital Security Bureau passed the buck to each other, so Agatha could only personally bring a team of Imperial Secret Agents to the museum to see Clear Sky.

Feige and Knight Jared cooperate with the Imperial Intelligence Agency's investigation, and the museum's servants and royal knights are questioned separately.

Agatha withdrew from everyone and stayed alone in a more private room with Clear Sky.

"I didn't do it!" Agatha's first sentence made her place in the case clear. Dale's disappearance shook the Imperial court, pushing Agatha, who wanted to keep a low profile, to the forefront of the storm: "But if I can't find Dale soon, or find the mastermind, I will have to take some measures to protect myself, which will spur Your Majesty, who doesn't believe in me, in turn."

The mastermind of the assassination of Dai'er is to make the contradictions within the palace more intense, and force everyone to take the most radical path, and in the end, you will live and ......die."

Qingtian, who was sitting across from Agatha, did not rush to answer, her eyes closed, analyzing the situation in the imperial capital court in a semi-meditative state.

Princess Daile was assassinated, and there must have been a black hand that existed. Moreover, this mastermind has a high status in the imperial court, has the ability to grasp the whereabouts of Princess Daile, and has the ability to arrange an assassination of the princess in the imperial city.

Agatha is seriously suspicious, regardless of whether she did it or not, once this seed of suspicion germinates in the heart of Augustine the Great, he may take advantage of the situation to get rid of his own daughter, who is too capable of doing so.

The seeds of doubt had also sprouted in Agatha's heart, and she knew her father's methods. In order not to become a fish, she will definitely make a move.

And her actions will further deepen the suspicion of Augustine the Great.

It's like two blind people locked up in a closed room, each with a knife in their hands. The end result will definitely be one death, or one death together.

If left unchecked, neither Luke nor Raging Waves would be able to survive the storm that would affect the entire empire.

After a while, Clear Sky said, "The assassination of Princess Daile was not done by us. Do you have a suspicion? Is there a clue to Princess Dale? ”

Agatha shook her head: "Now the entire city of Saint Lun is locked down to find Dale and the assassins, and there are no useful clues so far. As for the mastermind suspects...... The eldest prince, the second prince, and the faction-ridden groups of officials and nobles. If you count the power of the hereditary aristocracy, there are not many doubtful people but there are many, and they are not easy to check. ”

Oh, yes...... No matter how domineering the imperial agents are, they must also behave in the face of these people at the top of the imperial ruling layer. If you can't even get through the door, don't even try to find out anything.

Instead of telling Agatha about Del's whereabouts, Sunny Sky said, "We can't help with how to investigate the mastermind." After all, we have just arrived in the imperial capital, and we can't even recognize the road.

You can only rely on yourself.

But no matter how things turn out, as long as Fury Waves is in the hands of the Falling Star, it will stand firmly behind you. ”

Continuing to gain the support of the Raging Waves was one of Agatha's reasons for coming here. If things develop to the point where he and his father completely turn against each other, he also has to think carefully about what kind of turmoil the destruction of Angry Waves City will cause to the empire.

After all, the hereditary nobles who owned fiefs became more and more dissatisfied with the empire.

As long as you hold the bargaining chip of Angry Waves City, the worst outcome for yourself is exile overseas.

"Thank you very much! According to the current situation in the imperial capital, it is not appropriate for the chief inspector of the meteorite to show up too much, otherwise it will cause more suspicion from his father. I will do everything in my power to find Dale, if she is not killed, she must have been kidnapped by the mastermind who planned the attack.

If you find her, you might know the truth. ”

Clear Sky replied, "Since the meteorite arrived in the imperial capital, it has been very peaceful. He knew not to make himself too dazzling before His Majesty summoned him. I will convey your advice to His Highness, and promise that no one will see him during this time. ”

"I've wronged the chief inspector of the meteorite. When this matter is over, whether His Majesty summons him or not, I will definitely see him. He was given a higher position, and there was a heavier responsibility. ”

"I'll tell him." Clear Sky's eyes never opened. Her spiritual power spread as hard as she could, and the number of people watching around the museum nearly doubled.

The number of people watching on Copper Mulberry Avenue should also have increased.

These days, Luke had better not go back.

When Clear Sky was absent-minded, Agatha asked again, "Can I know what happened yesterday?" Dale has been with you for a long time......"

The ice sculpture made by Dale was well preserved by Clear Sky, and she did not let Agatha see it. Based on Agatha's understanding of Dale, it is very likely that she can see from the ice sculpture that Dale fled on her own. Unsure of Agatha's true position, let her know as little as possible about Dale.

"Princess Dale and I talked about something related to the Meteorite. She seems to be very concerned about the recent messages from the court, and wants to learn more about the meteorite through me.

I told her what I knew.

Princess Delle is a very close person, and I love her and hope she comes back safely. ”

Agatha didn't doubt the explanation that Clear Sky gave her, and her guess was that Dale wanted to know what kind of person Meteorite was, after all, the rumors about Meteorite in the court were not positive.

"Yes, Dale is more like a real princess than us princesses, like the princess who was kissed by the gods in the story. She has a beautiful face, a beautiful soul, and pure people can't help but fall in love.

This is also the reason why my father proposed this marriage made me nervous, afraid that the chief inspector of the meteorite would meet Daile and agree to my father's conditions in order to get her.

Therefore, in my father's mind, I was the biggest suspect in Dale's assassination. ”

There was a sense of frustration in Agatha's tone.

Although she is the eldest princess of the empire, she is in charge of the imperial secret intelligence bureau, and her ability is widely recognized, but as a princess, she knows that she is inferior to Dai'er.

At this time, Qingtian opened his eyes: "So...... How did you feel when you found out that Princess Dale had been assassinated? ”

Agatha didn't expect Clear Sky to ask herself such a question.

The standard answer was in her mouth, but she didn't say it for a long time.

"I was feeling ...... The pressure that has been on the horizon has been relieved for a while. Dale's accident dismantled my father's plan for me, and although I had to stand on the tuyere, I was at least able to move without having to trap Tulip Manor and wait.

It felt like there was a rope around the neck that was getting tighter and tighter.

It's a cruel thought that makes me feel like my father.

Even if I come to you, I will do it for myself more than for Dale.

That's what I mean.

Maybe I could say something about sisterhood, but I know you won't believe it. Standing in this position, the heart will really get colder and colder, more and more ruthless. ”

There was silence in the room, except for the pendulum of the table clock in the corner.

Agatha and Clear Sky sat opposite each other, each in spiritual contemplation.

After a while, Clear Sky said to Agatha, "The death of Baron Sam Alwyn, I have concealed it from the sheriff of the Sheriff's Office, and there are some things that Feige does not know. ”

Agatha's spirit was shocked: "I know that as the head of the occult department of Oulu Academy, you can definitely see what the secret technique of killing Baron Alva is?" ”

"It is a secret technique called 'Death Touch', which uses the struggle of a living sacrifice life before death to create a 'Death Reaper' that can directly attack the soul.

I didn't tell the sheriff because this secret technique came from the Abyss Temple, and it was the Abyss Temple's top secret. I didn't want to talk about why I knew about this secret technique, I didn't want anyone to find out about me and the Abyss Temple, so I kept it a secret from what happened last night. ”

Agatha looked at the clear sky and didn't speak.

If she knew the top secret of the Abyss Temple, her relationship with the Abyss Temple would indeed be suspicious.

Now Agatha also wants to know the answer.

But she knows better that Clear Sky can say this to herself, which is a trust in herself. If you cross the line, it will only cause a rift in the relationship between the two parties.

"Thank you for telling me this secret. I'm not going to investigate your relationship with the Abyss Temple by any means, I'm willing to wait for you to tell me, even indefinitely.

I've heard Meteor say that behind the Temple of the Abyss is the Duke of Celtic in the Tedgar Hills. Intelligence from the CIA also revealed that Duke Celtic was strengthening his barbarian legions, and had said a lot of things that were detrimental to the unity of the Empire at the Brotherhood of Blades.

If there is internal turmoil in the imperial court, he can profit from it.

is a direction of investigation. ”

Sunny Sky said, "That's all I can help you...... By the way, the Abyss Mage in the Imperial Capital has an Abyss Apostle leading the team, whose name is Radley Morris, who is the Fourth Apostle.

If you can't deal with him, you can leave it to me. ”

"Thank you again, this visit has been far more rewarding than I expected. You are also welcome to visit my tulip estate often, where we can learn about magic, alchemy, mysticism, or some conversation between women. ”

Clear Sky smiled: "Okay, when the affairs of the academy branch are dealt with, I will definitely go to Tulip Manor as a guest." ”

"Farewell ......"

Agatha left the Clear Sky Museum contentedly, and with the direction of the Abyss Temple, it was much better than having no clue about it.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back, after passing by the section where Dai'er was attacked, she couldn't help but think, "Dai'er, you must not be fine!" ”

……

Dale yawns when she gets home.

She was really sleepy.

Yesterday she ran all the way from the Imperial City to the Lower City, and after being caught by Luke, she was forced to memorize the information and stay up all night. I finally took a nap in the morning, and was woken up by Luke to eat, dress, and memorize information......

"I can't open my eyes anymore, even if you use the Spirit-Boosting Magic on me, I can definitely stand and fall asleep." Daile staggered down the stairs to her room sleepily, and her speech was confused: "Don't call me before dinner...... No, don't call me tomorrow before breakfast. ”

When the upstairs door opened and closed, he asked Luke, "Sir, is there anything I need to do?" ”

"Yes...... Find a way to go to Copper Oak Avenue and tell Karina that I'm not going back for a few days. Let her and Shelley take care of our people, and don't go out if there is no emergency.

Then I took a check for 10,000,000 Reichsmarks, and I was back before the evening, and followed me to Malken to sign the investment agreement. ”

Kuaileg listened to the surrounding movements, and then said worriedly: "In the car, because my wife was there, I didn't dare to talk much." Investing so much money in Downtown wouldn't make the movement too big.

This doesn't seem to be in your plan. ”

"Plans have to change and I know what I'm doing. You do what I told you to do first, go early and return early, and stay safe. ”

"Yes, sir."

Leaving quickly, Luke stayed home and worked out an investment contract to be signed with Malken in the evening.

At this time, the news that the Malken Institute of Transcendent Species was about to receive an investment of 50 million Reichsmarks was quickly spread through different channels in the lower city.

Only then did all the forces in Xiacheng City realize that this businessman who came here a few days ago actually had such a terrifying net worth. The investment of 50 million Reichsmarks was set at a luncheon.

What kind of arrogance is this? What a wealth this is!

The bigwigs from all sides regretted that when this businessman from Angry Waves City came to visit, why they didn't pay attention to it. Treat him as an ordinary buyer, accept the gift and send it away casually.

As a result, Malken took his first bite.

I don't know how much investment money this arrogant businessman has in his hands, and if he starts late, he may not even be able to drink the soup.

So when the tide within the imperial capital court was getting bigger and bigger, the undercurrent in the lower city was stirred up by Luke. Luke's residence became the center of the lower city of St. Lun, surrounded by numerous spies and counterbalances between them, and no one dared to use the "conventional" means here.

After getting the news, Malcoln immediately sent his own people to protect Luke's residence, and then visited all the forces in the lower city continuously.

Half warning, half request, tell them not to do anything out of the ordinary.
