281 Compensation from the royal family
That being said, but for now, we still have to find a way to appease those sword saints first.
"Rom." King Hemulimp rubbed his temples and said, "How is the investigation of the murderer going?" ”
“…… It's a lot harder than you think. Rom seemed to feel his face dark, and said: "The scene has been completely burned, and the court magicians have not been able to find useful clues from it, and the memories of those survivors have been read no less than ten times, but let's not say to find out the true identity of the attackers, it is the rumored batch of high-performance alchemy dolls, the people of the knights searched door to door again and again, but they failed to find any trace of them, it was as if they had disappeared out of thin air, and not even a single footprint was left." ”
"The only thing that is certain is that the sword technique used by the swordsman who called himself Kasumi is indeed very similar to the shadow attack sword technique, and should have the same effect of evading detection, so even if you use magic with tracking performance, you can't find the other party."
"Presumably, if you want to find the swordsman who calls himself Kasumi, unless you use magic like the Prophetic System, there should be no way."
However, the Prophetic Mind is a magical system that can only be used by the Alternate Adapter, and only one person is known to be able to use this kind of magic.
This person is not in the Kingdom of Jinas, but a magician from another country, and he will not appear here to help the royal family of the Kingdom of Jinas solve this problem.
"Don't you even have a clue?" King Hemulimp's face was very ugly, and he said, "Although there are no magicians who are proficient in prophetic magic, there should be a lot of secret treasures in the treasure vault that have tracking and searching effects, can't you use those?" ”
"Even if you can't find that Kasumi, and you can't find those high-performance alchemy dolls that disappeared out of thin air, what about the magician who manipulates the dolls behind the scenes?"
"The attacker who claimed to be Kasumi was a swordsman, and the controller of those puppets may be someone else, could it be that guy also used anti-reconnaissance magic or props?"
King Hemulimp's questioning was ultimately exchanged for bad news for Rom.
"Yes, I haven't been able to find it, there is no trace at all, the other party is obviously prepared, and the ability is extremely high, if you don't use forbidden means, maybe you can't really find it."
The so-called forbidden means naturally refer to some forces that violate human ethics and morality.
Throughout the ages, people have created one kind of magic after another, and there are some of them that have miraculous effects, with terrible effects that others can't imagine, and can break the routine and exert abnormal effects.
Not to mention magic, even swordsmanship.
Demonic sword skills are an example of this.
Generally speaking, super-grade sword skills will have certain cultivation conditions, especially provocative, but the demon sword technique, as a super-grade sword skill, has almost no threshold, everyone can practice, and once practiced, as long as you keep killing people and constantly sucking blood, you can quickly become stronger, and the growth rate can be called inhuman, far from being comparable to ordinary super-grade sword skill practitioners.
But this kind of sword skill has the side effects of making people crazy, making people bloodthirsty, making people lose their minds, and completely out of control.
In the same way, some forbidden magic has a miraculous effect that even the magic system of the overhead attribute cannot match.
If this type of magic is used, then it is not impossible for the royal family to do things similar to the use of prophetic magic.
At that time, they will definitely be able to find the murderer.
But the reason why this type of forbidden magic is considered taboo and forbidden is because they have very terrible side effects, or extremely inhumane conditions for activation.
"Nope." King Hemulip shook his head decisively and vetoed while thinking of those methods, and said: "The current royal palace is the focus of the entire royal capital, and everyone is paying attention here, if that kind of means is used, the chance of being discovered, if not 100%, is definitely not low, and then our trouble will only be greater than this." ”
The king himself used forbidden forbidden methods, which were far more problematic than a prince kidnapping the family of the Swordmaster.
At least, the latter still has room to maneuver, but the former has no choice, and it will definitely cause the royal family to suffer an unimaginable reputational blow.
If this matter is taken advantage of by the people sent by the duke, King Hemulimp will be in danger of stepping down.
If Sorok had been killed, then King Hemulimp might still struggle and hesitate, but Sorok was finally successfully rescued and did not die, in this case, King Hemulimp naturally refused to take such a big risk.
"If only it could be established that the mastermind of this was Rieg Brihaut......"
King Hemulimp sighed.
He was really suspicious of Rieger.
Forget if Kasumi didn't find it, the magician who manipulated the puppet behind his back didn't find it either, so is it possible that the two are actually the same person?
Rig Brihaut is both a Juggernaut and a tactical mage, if he were him, he should have enough ability to control hundreds of high-performance alchemy dolls, right?
Although, according to the investigation, that young man should be a tactical magician who is proficient in the interference system, because his interference magic adaptability is the fifth level, and only interference magic can reach the tactical level, but before, when the Franzel Mansion was attacked, this person seemed to use the tactical level magic of the transformation system and burned down the entire mansion, and later, according to Rom, he used the disintegration magic of the control system, and the power of the magic was also far beyond the scope of its own adaptability.
These conditions seem to tell others that he has some secret that no one else knows.
It would be nice if the secret could be solved.
Hopefully, the kingdom will be able to learn the truth about why this man was able to become a Juggernaut at such a young age, and the means by which he can use many different systems of high-level magic.
"It's a pity that even Rom has been defeated by him, and if I really move him, not to mention the success rate, it will be more than worth the loss to force him into the arms of the enemy."
With this in mind, King Hemulimp could only press some dangerous thoughts that were ready to be moved.
"Your Majesty."
At this time, Rohm spoke up again.
King Hemulimp knew that this was a reminder that it was time to make a choice.
“…… Let's send out a bulletin. ”
King Hemulimp was silent for a moment before he spoke with a blank face.
"The third prince Sorok is still unconscious and cannot be held accountable, and when he wakes up, the royal family will definitely investigate the matter and give everyone a satisfactory explanation."
"Also, release the Brihaults immediately, their memories have been read anyway, and it's useless to keep them."
"As for the Rieg Brihaut Sword Saint of the person concerned, let him go to the treasure vault and choose a treasure as compensation."
This was the best solution that King Hemulimp could think of.
"Yes."
Rohm took the order and disappeared where he was.
…………
The news soon spread from the palace.
Many people were disdained by King Hemulimp's assurances.
"Wait for him to wake up? Who knows when he'll wake up? ”
"Whether Prince Soroke is awake or not, isn't it up to the royal family themselves?"
"Even if they wake up, the royal family can announce to the public that the third prince has not woken up and has not recovered, drag this matter down, and wait until the limelight passes, and then they will punish them casually, isn't it considered to be an explanation?"
"This wishful thinking is really loud."
Many aristocrats see the door of this very clearly, so they really disdain the so-called statements given by the royal family.
This is true even for the Cordelion siblings.
But they also know that since the royal family has given such an explanation, then if they pursue it, the royal family will in turn accuse them of messing around.
After all, you can't arrest His Royal Highness the Prince while he is still unconscious, right?
No matter how you say it, they are all children of the royal family, and if someone dares to ask for this, it is simply the fact that "the royal family is not taken into account" is pressed on the door of the brain.
Becoming like this, it may be that the royal family doesn't want to let them go, and wants to arrest them and settle the charges.
As a result, neither the Duke's faction led by the Cordelion family nor the swordsmen who sent the letters spoke again.
Rig also learned the news released by the royal family from Yuri's mouth.
"Pick up treasures in the treasure vault?"
Knowing that there was such compensation, Rig was really a little interested.
"That's right." Yuri also seemed to be in a good mood, and it seemed that she was very happy to see the royal family deflated, and said: "The treasure vault of the kingdom is the treasury, and the most precious, rarest and most valuable treasures in the entire Jinas Kingdom will basically be sent there and become the treasures of the royal family and the heritage of the kingdom." ”
"There, there are magic books that record ancient magic, there are once lost super-grade sword skills, and all kinds of legendary weapons, equipment, or props called secret treasures."
"That's a treasure vault in the true sense, only the highest level treasures can exist in it, even I have only entered it once, this time you can come to such an opportunity out of thin air, you must not miss it."
Hearing this, Li Ge also smiled indifferently.
This is indeed an opportunity to swindle.
Obviously, he almost killed an important son of the royal family, but people couldn't find him to take revenge, not to mention, he had to pay a treasure to compensate, which was a big loss for his wife and more than a soldier.
Li Ge just wanted to use the topic to play, but in the end, he defrauded such a benefit, and he really made money.
As for the life and death of the Brihaut family, to be honest, Rige really doesn't care, and he doesn't feel that accepting the compensation from the royal family will be a matter of peace for them, which is unfair to them.
If it were a companion in Loki's clan who was maliciously kidnapped, Rig would definitely not give up, and it would be useless to take any treasure as compensation.
But those guys?
Forget it.
Therefore, Rieger chose to accept it when he saw it.
"Okay."
Rig nodded.
"I'd like to see what's in that so-called treasure vault."
