Chapter 5 Speculation and Inference

When they first see the scales on Jude's arms, many people don't realize what it means.

After all, the events of the year were too far away for them, until Li Yu opened his mouth and spit out a name.

"—Enriquez."

Many people's faces have just changed drastically, this powerful family that once ruled the western frontier for thousands of years has brought great trouble to the founding emperor of the empire, Alexandris, and even gained the upper hand in the confrontation for a time.

In the end, with the help of Count Philip "Snow Claw", who was the head of the Figuerola family at the time, he was wiped out in the great battle known as the wailing of the blood dragon by later generations.

It is said that after Count Philip attacked Dragon Burn City, the nest of the Enriquez family, he immediately ordered the beheading of all the people of the Enriquez family in the city, regardless of age and age.

When the news reached the front, João, the head of the Enríquez family, was so grief-stricken that he lost his composure and died in defeat not long after.

Since then, the Enriquez family has almost lost all their bloodline.

The few children of the family who survived could only be left to the grass, and after the Figuerola family began to rule the western border, they and his vassals pursued the remnants of the Enriquez family for hundreds of years.

In order to completely cut off future troubles, the Figuerola family simply marked the price, offering 100 gold to each head from the Enriquez family, and specifically stated that as long as the corpse, no living person is needed.

This bounty directly turned the descendants of the Enriquez family into long-legged money bags, making them afraid of wherever they went, unable to find a place to live, and without reliable allies, and constantly on the lookout for them.

Soon the members of the Enriquez family, the former lords of the West, were either killed or fled the West, never to return.

It has been almost three or four hundred years now, and there has been no blood of the Enriquez family in this land.

Yin Leiya couldn't help but let out an exclamation, "No wonder you have been living in the wild and don't have much contact with others, it turns out that it is not because of the injury on your face, but because of your identity." ”

Jude said, "Snowpaw and his vassals are very ruthless, not only slaughtering my people with their own hands, but also letting their descendants continue to kill, and they have been killing for more than 900 years without stopping. That bounty is still in effect, and I have to be cautious for the sake of my own life. ”

After Jude finished speaking, he looked at Li Yu again, "I still can't figure out how you found out my identity." ”

Li Yu said, "I really didn't think about you to the Enriquez family at the beginning, I just suspected that you were guilty. ”

"How do you know I put the note?" Jude raised an eyebrow.

"Someone once said that when you get rid of all the wrong answers, the rest of the one, no matter how incredible it is, is the truth. Indeed, you are very careful, more than a month has passed since the note was put out, and it has been honest, and there has been no action. ”

"It's because of you." Jude didn't hide it, "Others may not know what you are capable of, but I have witnessed you talking to the supreme being behind you, and seeing you summon an iron bird that can fly, and can manipulate thunder and light, I don't know or guess what magical means you will use against me, so the best thing to do is to do nothing." ”

"Well, this trick does work." Li Yu also admitted, "I'm ready, as long as you make another move, you will definitely not be able to escape." ”

"But since I didn't do it again, how did you find me?" Jude was puzzled.

"I've been looking back at the footage all these days, the movements and images you left behind, and I haven't been able to find any suspicious people from them, but it's not for nothing."

Li Yu said, "I noticed one thing, that is, every time Yin Leiya meets with the knights or officials below, you will be present. ”

"This is the agreement between Yin Leia and me." Jude said, "She paid me to give her uh...... Set up a shelf and help her deter those courtiers who see her young and feel lazy and don't do things well, what's the problem? ”

"No problem at all, but I recall another incident, before the note appeared, Yin Leia was meeting with the Trinidad knights, when the Trinidadian knights rushed from their own mines to report the movements of the lizardmen to Yin Leia, so you were also there at that time."

Li Yu didn't give Jude time to answer, so he continued, "After the incident, Yin Leia was very angry, and gathered the entire castle to check one by one to see who had entered that room after she left, but in the end, except for Alyssa, basically everyone else's suspicions were ruled out. ”

"Then you shouldn't doubt Elisa?" Jude said.

"I doubted it, after all, she really entered the room after Yin Leia left, but I really can't find her motive." Li Yu said.

"So I asked Yin Leia to remove the guards sent to spy on Alisa, trying to make the real Neiying anxious, but you have always been able to calm down, and there were even some outrageous rumors in the castle during that time.

"Say that the person who put the note can fly up the wall, or he is a ghost that no one can see, because that is the only way to explain why no one saw him enter and leave the room."

"Of course I don't believe in this kind of rumor, so I need to find a reasonable explanation, and when I look back on the whole thing, I find another detail that I have overlooked before.

"The note was found under the table, which is unreasonable, and when you want to intimidate someone, of course, you have to put what can scare her in the most conspicuous place, preferably at a glance, to give her the greatest fear.

"The reason why the note was under the table, and not on the table, was probably because the person who wrote the note did not have the ability to leave it on the table. Not long before the note appeared, Yin Leia had only met the Trinidad Knight, and a bold idea came to my mind.

Could it have been snuck on the floor after the meeting? This explains why no one saw the Neying in and out of the room at all, because he left with Yin Leiya early in the morning. ”

Jude was silent for a long time before speaking again.

"That's when you started to doubt me?"

"Attention, to be precise, I noticed you, in fact, at that time I first suspected the Knight of Trinidad, you are indeed well disguised, a wandering warrior who was disfigured by accident, withdrawn, only knows money, and claims to be the son of a peasant, no one knows that you can actually read.

"The apparently educated knights of Trinidad are a little more suspicious than you." Li Yu said, "Especially since I asked Fausto later that those lizardmen came earlier than in previous years, so I also became more and more suspicious that this was just an excuse made up by the Trinidad knights in order to enter the castle and post notes, causing suspicion and confusion here." ”
