The Franzel Residence, the topmost office.

By this time, Rig had returned to the place and sat down at his desk, telling Yuri everything that had happened tonight.

Ain and Yin Eun stood behind Rig, adding from time to time, making Yuri look straight at Rig, who was sitting across from her, without saying a word.

“...... Why are you looking at me like that? ”

Rig was a little uncomfortable with Yuri's eyes, and could only say this.

Still, Yuri stared straight at Rig, as if she wanted to see through it.

No way.

"Don't you want to explain?" Yuri said to Rig in a tone that didn't know whether he was happy or sad, "Mr. Rig who can easily defeat a swordsman?" ”

Yes, Ain and Yoon told Yuri about Rige's victory over the strong man in the lead.

This made Yuri's eyes staring at Rieg become wrong, and Marilyn on the side also stared at Riege, with a sense of déjà vu that she was ready to come up and use torture to extract a confession.

In this regard, Rieger seemed very natural.

"What are you asking me to explain?" Rig smiled and said to Yuri, "Can I explain to you how awesome I am?" ”

"Awesome?" Yuri looked puzzled.

“...... It's very powerful. Li Ge's tone paused, and then as if he had revealed the topic, he said: "The main thing is that you didn't ask, you can't let me take the initiative to tell you in front of you, how powerful I am, right?" ”

Rieger hasn't been narcissistic to that point.

"But you're outrageous, aren't you?" Yuri muttered, "I've never heard that you have practiced swordsmanship before, and I didn't know that you were actually a master who could easily defeat a proper swordsman. ”

That's where Yuri was surprised.

She had already investigated Rige and learned all about his life.

And none of these deeds proves that Li Ge has practiced swordsmanship.

Even, the previous Lige's attitude towards swordsmen was very different from that of the rest of the magicians, and he was a little disdainful.

The magician is a noble being, and the swordsman only knows how to fight and kill, which is the concept that most magicians have, and it is an overly arrogant idea.

Rig was the same person in the past, aiming to become a tactical mage or even a strategic mage, so as to obtain the kingdom knighthood and become a nobleman, and disdain swordsmen who could only become the thugs of the kingdom and nobility.

Such a Li Ge, when he was in the magic academy, he was a little bit unlearned, how could he go to practice swordsmanship?

This is completely contradictory compared to the extraordinary strength that Rieger showed this time.

Therefore, after knowing that Li Ge could easily solve even a swordsman-level killer, Yuri was really surprised and surprised.

Riger, of course, knew about the situation.

With his previous performance, he suddenly showed such strength, and those who knew him would definitely be surprised and puzzled.

But Rig didn't want to hide it in front of Yuri.

"I'm just having an adventure." Li Ge smiled and said, "I'll tell you about this when I have a chance in the future." ”

The implication is that this matter, on this occasion, is not very suitable to be said.

And rightfully so.

The matter of the dimensional Rubik's Cube, Li Ge doesn't want to make everyone know.

Although Yuri is her savior, even if Li Ge says this kind of unbelievable thing, Yuri believes it or not is another matter.

Therefore, Rieger does not intend to explain too much.

Yuri also seemed to see it, although she was a little unacceptable in her heart, but Rige's unevasive eyes and gaze still made the eldest lady's heart soften.

"Okay, let's not talk about it for now." Yuri exhaled lightly, turned the topic back, and said, "If you talk about the outcome of this incident alone, it is still worth being happy. ”

Isn't it?

Although Rig was attacked, he was not in serious trouble, and he suddenly had a strong strength, which was undoubtedly very reassuring.

At least, the current Li Ge can more or less protect himself, and he will no longer be in the same situation as before, being slaughtered by others.

And that's a good thing.

"It's a pity that the attackers have committed suicide, and it will be very difficult to find out who is behind them and whether they are the heretical assassins."

Yuri said something like that.

"Is there no way to investigate?"

Rigg asked.

"The investigation is definitely going to be investigated, but it's hard to say whether there will be results." Yuri pondered for a while before she said, "According to your statement, they all chose to commit suicide without hesitation when they confirmed that the mission could not be completed, which proves that they have a very mature way of coping and can act in order to hide their secrets in the moment of defeat." ”

In such a situation, even if you try to investigate, you probably won't be able to investigate anything satisfactory.

Because the enemy already has a mature way of dealing with it, a set of rules of conduct, since this is the case, they must have considered what kind of investigation will be carried out when the body of the person on the mission dies.

"Based on this, I personally think that even if a court magician is invited to perform special magic to recall the memory fragments of those corpses during their lifetime, it is estimated that it will not have much effect."

Yuri thinks so, and it makes sense.

If you can abandon a master at the level of a swordsman without hesitation, and let all the killers commit suicide by poisoning after the mission fails, then the instigators behind these people must also take into account the situation that the corpse will be investigated and will be used to collect clues by magic.

"If I'm not mistaken, those corpses must have been buried with counter-perception magic, mind magic, memory magic, and so on." Yuri said, "So, most of us can't find any useful clues. ”

Hearing this, Rieg frowned, but he was not disappointed.

"If you can't investigate, you can't investigate." Li Ge said: "It's not without harvest anyway. ”

Through this attack, Rig understood two things.

One is that the enemy has not given up and wants to take his life.

One is that the current self still has the ability to protect himself.

Lige, who already knows what his strength position is in this world, is not in a hurry.

Even the main swordsman will be easily defeated by himself, so if the enemy wants to do something to him, it is estimated that he will have to send a sword master or a mage of the same level.

And Li Ge didn't think that in order to deal with such a little person as himself who had "a little talent", the person behind this would not hesitate to send a Swordmaster-level existence to deal with him.

This is a question of cost, whether it is worth it, and I believe that the other party will also hesitate to move Rige in the future.

In this way, Rieg can also feel a lot more at ease.

"I'll ask the court magician of the palace or the high priest of the church to come over and see if I can do something." Yuri didn't want to give up, and said, "If there are clues and news about this, I will inform you." ”

"Okay." Rig nodded in response.

The two talked about some details again before Rieg got up to leave.

In the office, only Yuli and her party were left.

The relaxed attitude on Yuri's face when facing Rig suddenly disappeared, and she became expressionless.

"Say it." Yuri set her eyes on Ain and Yin and said, "What did you two find?" ”

Yuri was keenly aware that Ain and Yoon had something to say.

If it weren't for that, the two would have stepped down when the mission was completed, instead of staying here and listening to her and Rige discuss these more insider matters.

Ain and Yoon also glanced at each other at once.

"Miss." Yin En lowered his voice and said to Yuri, "Those killers are a bit like the people on the Shadow' side. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Yuri, but even Marilyn's expression suddenly changed.

"Are you sure?"

Yuri leaned forward unconsciously.

"Not sure, but it's really like." Ain also spoke up, and said in a rare way: "I fought with the leading swordsman, although he used a broad-bladed sword that looked heavy, but the speed that did not match his physique and the combat method that could eliminate all the movements caused by his movements to a minimum were very similar to the hazy attack sword technique that Shadow was good at. ”

Hearing this, Yuri's face gradually sank, and the hand on the desk clenched little by little.

A terrifying wave of magic slowly seeped out of Yuri's body, causing a cold look on Yuri's face.

"In other words, it wasn't a heretical assassin who attacked Rigg, but a shadow knight directly under the royal family, right?"

Yuri's words were chilling.

But this is a secret that some people with high status know.

There is an assassination force in the Kingdom of Genus.

The people who belong to this assassination force are all called Shadow Knights, and only the people of the royal family can know of their existence and have the right to mobilize them.

Since Ain and Yin said that those attackers were very similar to the people of "Shadow", it means that the people who attacked Rige and them are most likely Shadow Knights.

So, who can send the Shadow Knight on an assassination mission?

Answer, it's already coming out.

The only thing Yuri doesn't understand is why someone in the royal family is eyeing Rieger.

Before Yuri could figure out this question, Marilyn, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Rieger before seems to be very close to the daughter of the Riat family."

In a simple sentence, Yuri understood it all.

Because the house of Liat was a vassal of the family of a certain duke.

And the duke's family has been very dishonest in recent years, and seems to have some undesirable thoughts about the current king and the throne.

In such a situation, there is a very potential future great magician who suddenly comes into contact with the daughter of this duke's vassal, and some people in the royal family will overreact, which seems to be normal.

In other words, Rieger was drawn into the political struggle and almost fell victim to it.

"Marilyn, call the carriage."

Yuri said with a blank face.

"I'm going to the palace."
