Chapter 57: The Ghost Clan (Investigation)

The vampire guard answered "yes" and immediately disappeared without a trace, the originally clear sky, but at this moment unconsciously gloomy, the sky suddenly a burst of thunder and lightning, accompanied by a deafening thunder, large rains suddenly fell from the sky, Sean looked up at the pouring rain outside, and said: "I feel that someone is trying to break the covenant between the blood clan and the ghost clan." ”

After hearing this, no one except Chris didn't take this sentence too seriously, they just thought that it was just Sean worrying too much, and the blood clan and the ghost clan had an alliance for hundreds of years, and there were people who tried in vain to cut off the "chains" that tied the two clans tightly and indirectly disintegrated the power of the two clans, but it was not denied that there would be some dirty hands that were ready to move and were ready to attack the two clans at any time, so it would be a good thing to prevent it early, at least you could take advantage of the pair of dirty hands to reach over and cut them all.

At this time, it was also raining heavily in the realm of the ghost clan like the blood clan, and in the study of the Franz Hellapern Palace, Xia Zuo had already finished the matter at hand, but he had just stood up from the chair, and suddenly a sharp arrow broke through the heavy rain curtain, and the tip of the arrow faintly shone with a dark red light pierced through the hustle and bustle.

Only to hear a sound of breaking wind behind him, Xia Zuo turned around suddenly, the sharp arrow pierced his shoulder in an instant, and blood suddenly splashed out, at that moment he seemed to see two familiar figures, but because the distance was too far, he could only vaguely see two vague figures, but he couldn't see who the two people were, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the whole person fell to the ground at once.

At this time, a maid came to the door of his study and was about to inform Xia Zuo to have dinner, but she knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered inside, but according to her understanding, he should have finished his work at this time, and the other party would answer when he knocked on the door in the past, but what happened today.

The maid couldn't help but worry about whether something was going on, thinking of this, she simply opened the door of the study, but only saw a bloodstained arrow piercing deep into the wall next to the door, the sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger, the maid walked towards the desk and waited for Xia Zuo to fall on the floor behind the desk covered in blood, and suddenly her heart was shocked, and when she didn't know what to do, Matthias Schelotto's voice came from outside and asked, "Hurley, didn't I ask you to inform Your Highness to go downstairs for dinner?" ”

Since Xia Zuo returned to the Oni Clan, King Franz Helapane had asked him to follow him, and he had already prepared dinner in the kitchen downstairs for the maid Hurley to come up and inform the other party of dinner, but it had been a long time since the two of them had come down, and this had not happened before.

His first reaction was that something must have happened to Xia Zuo, so he went upstairs to the other party's study without worry, but as soon as he finished saying that, he saw him lying in a pool of blood and had fallen into a coma, and the maid Hurley on the side was already panicking and didn't know what to do.

Matthias quickly calmed down and immediately asked the other party to call for a therapist, Winron Fuller, who had been a healer in the palace for more than forty years, and had been treating the people in the palace for more than forty years.

The maid immediately took the order, and within a few minutes she had invited an old man with white hair and beard to Xia Zuo's bedroom, apparently the healer named Winron Fuller.

Matthias watched as the other party was treating Xia Zuo's wounds, holding the sharp arrow that stabbed the other party tightly in his hand, this sharp arrow was clearly coated with poison, and the middle end of the arrow was clearly engraved with a pattern of "a lion with a bloody mouth open", this pattern was very familiar to him, and it belonged to the family crest of the Entias family of the blood clan.

Could it be that the head of the Entias family, Count Sean, sent someone to assassinate him? No, the two clans have been allied for nearly a hundred years, if the other party really sends someone to assassinate Xia Zuo, the ghost clan and the blood clan will inevitably turn against each other, in case the two clans really fight, no one will take any advantage, if the two clans continue to maintain a friendly alliance, the two clans will never have a war, so the other party will not be so stupid and ask for trouble, could it be that someone deliberately sow discord in order to make their two clans turn against each other.

At this moment, the night has completely enveloped the entire blood clan, the rain has no intention of abating, the rain continues to drip from the eaves of the Entias mansion, at this time, Chris came to the door of Sean's study with an envelope in his hand and knocked on the door, Sean was sorting out the order for this month's dessert purchase, and at this time he did not raise his head and said: "Come in." ”

Chris opened the door and walked in, handed him the letter in his hand, and said, "Young Master, Matthias Shelotto, the personal guard of the Ghost Clan's Shazo Franz Hellapane, has sent a letter. ”

When Sean heard this, he stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head, frowned, looked at him with a very puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Why did the people of the Franz Hellapern royal family suddenly send me a letter, could it be that something happened to Xia Zuo?" This was the first thing that came to his mind, otherwise it would not have been his personal guard who sent the letter for him.

Chris didn't have the right to open the envelope to be sent to the master without permission, so when he heard the other party's question, he just shook it and said, "Please open it yourself and see it." ”

Sean opened the envelope as he said, but just after seeing the content of the letter, he immediately stood up from the chair, frowned tightly, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely condensed, and his blue eyes suddenly became fierce, only to feel that there was an inexplicable anger surging in his heart, Chris didn't know what was written in the letter, the other party would suddenly get angry, he was rarely angry, and couldn't help asking: "Young master?" ”

Sean gradually calmed down and said while putting the letter into a new envelope: "Someone secretly stabbed Xia Zuo with a sharp arrow in the ghost clan this afternoon, although it was only shot in the shoulder, but the arrow was coated with poison, and the arrow was also engraved with the family emblem of my Entias family, which was clearly framed, and the purpose was to make the ghost clan and the blood clan turn against each other, I am afraid that only the interstellar people would do this kind of thing, I only guessed that someone would attack Xia Zuo and then frame me, but I didn't expect the other party's action to be so fast." The tone was calm but determined.

Chris also turned very ugly when he heard this, and asked again, "Could it be that someone intends to retaliate because we sent guards to intercept and kill the interstellar magicians that day?" ”

Sean shook his head and denied: "No, if someone really avenges those magicians, just come to me directly, why do you have to go all the way to the ghost clan to assassinate Xia Zuo who did not participate in the interception of the magician, this is simply redundant, and whether I sent guards to intercept the magician that day or not, today's things will also happen, those interstellar people have grasped that the relationship between me and Xia Zuo has always been bad, so they plan to take advantage of this weakness to deteriorate the relationship between the two races little by little, I'm afraid it's the Pritchards who would do this kind of thing. At the end of the words, there was an extremely cold smile on his face, and he said: "I have to say that after suffering a few losses, these interstellar people have grown some brains. ”

What he was angry about just now was not because of a momentary negligence that gave the enemy a chance to attack, but that those people dared to put their hands on Xia Zuo's body, it was really too long to live, and he would make those people pay an extremely painful price for what they did today, although he and Xia Zuo did not seem to have a harmonious relationship with outsiders, but they both cared about each other from the bottom of their hearts, thinking of this, he immediately looked at Chris and said: "Chris, you prepare, we will go to the ghost clan immediately tomorrow, Fix this as quickly as possible before it gets worse. ”

Chris nodded in understanding,

At this moment, Alyssa's voice suddenly sounded at the door of the study: "Sean, where are you going tomorrow, are you going to play?" Can you take me with you? ”

Seeing the anticipation on her face, Sean couldn't help but hold her forehead with a headache, and then his eyes became stern and looked at her and asked, "Alyssa, didn't I say that I won't eavesdrop on other people's conversations in the future?" ”

After hearing this, Alyssa immediately retorted dissatisfiedly: "I didn't eavesdrop this time, but I just happened to hear it when I came to your study!" But soon he trotted to Sean's side with a smile on his face, reached out and held his hand and asked, "Are you going to the Ghost Clan to find Xia Zuo tomorrow?" Can you take me with you? ”

Sean's eyes became cold for the first time when he looked at her, and his expression became very cold, and he refused the other party's request almost without thinking about it, and said coldly: "No, it's not fun for us to go tomorrow!" There was not the slightest room for negotiation in his tone.

Alyssa didn't know for a while whether she was frightened by his stern appearance, or because she couldn't play, her nose was a little sour, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears fell down with tears, Sean's expression couldn't help but ease when she saw this, he was just worried that it would be dangerous if he brought her to the ghost clan tomorrow, but he didn't expect to make the other party cry again, he was silent for a while before he walked to the other party and took out a clean white handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her and comforted softly: " Xia Zuo didn't like to see such a tearful face. ”

When Alyssa heard this, she knew that the other party had agreed to let her go with her to the Oni Clan tomorrow, and immediately burst into tears and laughed, first hugged Sean tightly, and then trotted out of his study, Sean found that as soon as she told her that she could go to the Oni Clan to meet Xia Zuo, she seemed very happy, as if she was Xia Zuo's fiancΓ©e.

The next morning, Chris had already prepared the carriage, and then helped Alyssa into the carriage, and then helped Sean into the carriage, and the blue gemstone ring on his left thumb had turned completely red, glowing cold and eerie in the sun.
