Chapter 144: Clues

After understanding what happened, Carl couldn't help but sigh that this time it was really God blessed.

He looked at the river beside him, where the water was still rushing to the shore, and it seemed that he had been washed ashore in this way, which was a blessing in misfortune, and if he had not been washed ashore, he would have suffocated to death.

Natalie also calmed down and turned around, but Carl was a little embarrassed, he never expected that Her Royal Highness the princess would actually do artificial respiration for him.

"It's good that you're okay, Lord Earl." Natalie had tears in her eyes and patted her chest.

Carl was stunned for a moment, and then a little emotion appeared in his heart, and he could feel that Her Royal Highness the princess was really worried about him.

Thinking back to just now, Natalie was willing to give up her identity to perform artificial respiration for him, and when he thought of this, he thought of the two soft petals again...... The next moment, his face flushed slightly.

"Ahem, Your Highness Princess, this is not a place to chat, we have to leave immediately." Karl hurriedly changed the subject.

"Damn......" Carl was suddenly stunned, he found that he didn't need his strength at all, too, he had been in a coma for two or three days, and there would be ghosts with any strength, not to mention that he was injured before he fell unconscious, and now the wound is still faintly painful.

"This ......" Natalie and Wendy were also a little embarrassed, the two of them had little strength and couldn't carry Carl at all.

Don't look at Carl's appearance as a handsome guy, in fact, his body is not light, he just doesn't look as strong as Pine, but he doesn't have a lot of muscles at all.

Also, how can a person who has to face a fight at every turn not train at all, does he really want to fight like a fat man? If that's the case, the enemy will be able to laugh like crazy.

"Roar ......"

At this moment, a roar startled everyone.

Karl followed the sound and looked over, only the next moment he was chilled, and there was a huge boar staring at them.

The fangs on both sides of the wild boar are very long, and very sharp, the wild boar is not a domestic boar, their combat effectiveness is very strong, and even the tiger has to retreat when he sees it.

"Damn it!" Carl wanted to stand up, but he couldn't, and Natalie and her maid were already standing still.

"Ahh The two people who reacted screamed, and screaming is really a woman's natural ability, no matter what era, world, or place it is.

"Your Royal Highness, go quickly, it's eyeing me." Carl growled, noticing the boar's eyes staring at him.

"Is this treating me as today's dinner?" Carl smiled bitterly in his heart, this time he really just got out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den again.

"Smack!"

A stone flew over and hit the boar's head, which seemed to have little strength, but it also made the boar stunned for a moment.

Karl's eyes widened as he looked over as Natalie picked up a small piece of rock under her feet and tried to throw it at it.

"Your Royal Highness, what are you doing? Let's go! Carl shouted anxiously, Natalie's attack was not painful at all, and if they didn't leave, it would be too late.

"I won't leave you!" Natalie's hands were shaking, but she didn't leave.

Carl stared blankly at this scene, and endless emotion welled up in his heart at this moment.

"Whoop......" The boar seemed to have had enough of the provocation and let out a breath, his feet rubbing against the ground, as if ready to charge.

The next moment it rushed towards the three of them, and Carl could even see the cold light on its fangs, and the danger of his life made him subconsciously close his eyes.

"Whew!"

There was a cracking sound, and an arrow pierced the boar's head in an instant, and blood splattered out of Carl's body with inertia.

"Sister!"

"Lord Earl!"

……

After taking a comfortable shower and changing into a clean suit, Karl breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately Sir Frederick appeared in time at that time, and even more fortunately he had been hit by the arrow.

Even if Sir Frederick's archery skills are good, the probability of a successful shot at a high-speed moving object at such a distance is really not high.

Just then, there was a knock on his door.

"Please come in."

Karl was a little surprised, and it was Frederick who walked in, as well as his father, the Duke of Rizland.

"Lord Duke, your loyal vassals salute you." Karl hurriedly saluted, then looked at Frederick again.

"May God bless you, Sir Frederick."

"Count Dortmund, my vassal, I'm really sorry that such a thing happened." Duke Rizlan said with a look of shame, no matter what, Karl came at his invitation, and almost lost his life.

"No, no, no, it's not your fault, I have to thank you, if you hadn't made people come to me, I might have died, and thank you, Sir Frederick, for saving my life." Karl quickly shook his head.

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Frederick bowed his head.

"Lord Duke, I want to know who those people are in ambush?" Karl looked at Duke Rizland, who was more curious about the answer to this question.

"I would also like to know this, those people are very cunning, they have left the confines of Rizlandburg, and even if I have people search them everywhere, they have not found any whereabouts." Speaking of which, Duke Rizlan was also angry, and such a terrible force was mixed in his territory.

"I wonder if this is your political enemy or enemy?" Frederick asked.

"I don't have political enemies, but if you say enemies......" Karl hesitated, thinking about it, there were actually not many of his enemies, from the Baron of Thors, Baron Samu, to the chief of Fort Carmel and so on, after all, the rise of a nobleman cannot be loved by everyone, there must be countless conflicts of interest.

But none of these people should have the ability to take revenge on him, Baron Thor and Baron Saun are not strong, and their strength is not on the side of Fort Rizland, as for the Grand Chief of Fort Carmel...... If a pagan chief could assassinate an earl in a duke's domain, the power of that chief was terrible, the Great Chief of Fort Carmel was not so strong, and the Duke of Rizlan was not so weak, and Karl recognized that the group of people who attacked him were not equipped with Flo, they were all equipped with the equipment of the Dillmans.

"I can't think of anyone who did it, but I'm sure the murderer will be caught!" Karl said with a gloomy face.

"Of course, Reizlandburg will be of greatest help to you." Duke Rizland said.

"By the way, Lord Duke, I don't know where your daughter Princess Natalie is, I want to thank her in person, if she hadn't woken me up and found me, I might have died." Karl asked again.

"Ah, Natalie's words are in the back garden now, I'll have someone take you there, but you don't have to take it to heart." Although Duke Rizlan said this, the corners of his mouth seemed to show some special expressions.

"No, if you have kindness, you must repay it, this is my consistent purpose in doing things." Karl shook his head.

"Yes, then you are really a real nobleman, and there are not many nobles who can keep their oaths like this in these years." Duke Rizland said approvingly.

"Please come to my banquet after you have everything done, these unpleasant things happened on the way, I hope the banquet will be more comfortable for you." Duke Rizlan invited.

"Of course, I will definitely participate."

After a casual chat with the Duke of Ritzland, the Duke of Ritzland left with Sir Frederick.

After an unknown amount of time, there was another knock on Karl's door.

"Come in." Carl knew who it would be, and said lightly.

"Lord Earl, the Man in Black has reported to you that it is our capital offense not to guarantee your safety." A man in black knelt on one knee with his head bowed, his face obscured by the black robe.

"I don't want to hear any apologies, since it has happened, then there is no need to investigate who is guilty, I just want to know if you have investigated the murderer." Carl snorted coldly, he was very dissatisfied that the man in black didn't have any information this time.

"Lord Earl, our strength in Ritzland Fort is not very strong......" the man in black hesitated.

Karl raised his eyebrows, quietly waiting for the following, if nothing was gained, he would not mind curing the sins of the man in black.

"We didn't know who the killer was, but we did find clues about the identities of the people who ambushed you." The man in black said stubbornly.

"Say!"

"After our investigation, this group of people did not come from Rizlanburg, but from distant Melendi."

"Merendi?" Carl frowned, he had never heard of this place.

"Yes, Melendi, but Melendi is not in the territory of Rizlandburg, and the ruler of Melendi, Count Roderick, is an independent." The man in black told him what he knew.

"The Independent?" Carl was a little surprised, some counts far away from the enemy's territory would not choose to vassalize a duke, they would not be under the command of anyone, but there were not many such nobles, because without the protection of the duke, many times these counts would be in a dangerous situation, such as being annexed, of course, it was not as dangerous as imagined, after all, everyone is a member of the Christian world, if the appearance is too ugly, and if you directly annex others, you will be condemned by the entire Christian world, so you generally want to annex these independents, There must be a valid reason, that is, a claim.

"Any other information?"

"According to our investigation, Count Roderick seems to be a member of the Krasian clan......"

"The Chris family?" Karl raised an eyebrow and touched his chin with a slightly interested look.

"Oh, I see, strengthen the deployment of the men in black in Melendi, and focus the investigation there." Karl ordered.

"Yes!"
