Chapter 3: Germain's Fangs
It wasn't long before Hanufain walked before the sound of hurried footsteps came to mind outside the room.
"Leah, are you awake!?"
Pushing open the door, the princess, Karen, and Merty hurriedly walked in.
"Well, it doesn't matter anymore, although the body is still in pain, but it doesn't matter anymore, I'll be full of vitality after a while!ahhhh......h
Looking at everyone's worried faces, Little Lori reluctantly waved her little fist and responded as vigorously as possible. Before she could finish speaking, she was held in the princess's arms.
"Great, I was terrified when Eve lifted you out of the labyrinth!"
"Yi ...... Isabella ......"
The princess's movements were very light, and she didn't trigger little Lori's injury, but being held like this in public made Leah a little embarrassed. Especially on the other side, Eve also slipped quietly to the bed for some reason, holding a certain Lori from the other direction.
"Good...... Alright...... Sister Eve...... Isa...... Woomm!?"
Just as she was about to push the two of them away, suddenly, an inexplicable Jedi alarm sounded in her heart.
[Speaking of which, there should be one person who will use a rocket mallet after I recover from my injury, except for Sister Eve......]
Thinking of this, she hurriedly turned her head, and what caught her eye was ......
"My sister is finally safe! Merti is so happy!!"
A mermaid girl has reached 70 yards and is jumping up and falling towards her from the sky!
"Arcane Barrier !!"
In a hurry. A certain Lori instantly sent a magic shield, so Melti hit her head on the magic barrier......
"Whew...... Call...... That's naïve, Melti. There's no way I'm going to hit the same rocket hammer twice......"
Leah, who had survived the catastrophe, gasped, grabbed the blanket in front of her chest with two small fists, and looked at Melti who was squatting with her head in her arms and said triumphantly, but her expression looked very reluctant no matter how she looked, obviously, she was indeed frightened.
"Alright, alright. Now that Leah is fine, I can rest easy. ”
clapped his hands and stopped everyone's farce. Karene smiled and looked at Leah.
"Eve...... Ay...... Forget it......"
Then she turned her gaze to her second sister, and the goddess was shrinking behind little Lori, poking out half of her head to look at her, and paused. Karene wanted to say something. But in the end, he couldn't say anything. Obviously, even she has a bit of a problem with a certain goddess.
"We asked Lord Hanufain a lot about the dungeon and Eve, but she didn't explain anything, just said that Eve's actions are closely related to the entire continent, so let's not interfere more......"
On the way out of the dungeon, Karen was naturally most worried about Leah's injury, but after that. She found her second sister and asked why the other party ran away from home. What did you do after that, and why did you get to know the Great Sage...... She had so much to ask.
It's a pity that Hanufain rushed over and stopped her from asking too many questions.
Karen is a clever female general, and she can certainly see that the other party is trying to hide something. If it was someone else, even if it was Sharuzod, she wouldn't give up.
But on the other hand, Randall's knights, although they have a weak sense of faith, have a strong hero-worship, and even Karen is no exception to this.
The master of all laws, who personally participated in the Ragnarok War, is a great hero who saved the world, and when she said the phrase "Eve's actions are related to this world", Karen still chose to trust. So after that, she didn't ask Eve again.
"Then again...... About that assassin......"
Eve's affairs can be put aside for now, but the Assassin is more important for now.
"Do you guys have any ideas?"
Karene waved her hand, signaling Alec, who had come to visit Leah, to stay away.
"Melty, Rebecca, can you make us some black tea?"
Leah also looked at the head maid and said.
"Ahh......h Melti doesn't know how to make tea......"
The mermaid girl tilted her head.
"It's all right, Miss Merti, I'll teach you. ”
The head maid, who understood what Leah meant, took Melty away.
"Since you want to take everyone else away, it seems that Sister Karen can also see that this assassination is not the masterpiece of the Salman Holy Sect at all, right?"
After the idlers left, Leah's expression became stern. Yes, if the enemy is from the Salman Holy Sect, there is no reason for Karen to support Alec, because it can be used to incite the knights against the Holy Religion.
"That's right, although at first I thought that this kind of Cheng dù's killer could only be found in the Holy Sect Country. But if you think about it, no matter what, the people of the Holy Sect will never send an alchemist. ”
Karen nodded, agreeing with Leah's guess. That's right, the reason why the Holy Religion is called the Holy Religion is that its religious beliefs are naturally the highest and unshakable spiritual pillars. Even if the Pope was so jealous of Leah that he could send assassins to assassinate her, it would be understandable, as the Inquisitors of the Heresy often used this against apostates, but on the other hand, he would never use mages or alchemists who were considered heretical. Acts that are inconsistent with religion are poison or an absolute taboo for the Holy Church of Salman.
"Sister Karen's words are very right, the enemy is not the Salman Holy Cult. ”
Leah nodded, agreeing with Kalian's judgment.
"So Leah, do you have any impression of the assassin?"
Because the other party is related to the mage world, Karen guesses whether little Lori will know something.
"Unfortunately, I was not at all impressed, but I could still guess who sent her. ”
Thinking back to the Assassin's traits, Leah shook her head.
"Any clues?"
"Yes, do you remember the poisoning incident at the tournament?"
Leah mentions an incident from the past.
"Then you don't need to ask, I'm one of the parties, even if I want to forget, I can't forget it. ”
Karen smiled bitterly, she had been given a paralyzing poison in her competition with the Duke of Arman, which not only caused chaos in the tournament, but also caused the prestige of the Britt family to plummet.
"When you said that, I remembered, at that time you guessed that Viscount Germain did this, right?"
Soon, she remembered Leah's analysis at that time.
"Well, since then, I have guessed that there must be a good alchemist under Jermain. After all, being able to make a paralyzing potion that even the royal apothecaries couldn't analyze, and it was a new type, was definitely not something that could be achieved by just finding an unknown little alchemist on the street. ”
Little Lori nodded and said.
"That's right, but if this potion is from a famous person, it is impossible to find out with the ability of my father, but unfortunately, no alchemist has said that he has anything to do with this potion, that is, the alchemist who made this paralyzing poison must be one of Germain's secret guards. ”
Isabella nodded, her thoughts coincided with that of little Lori.
"But...... Would Germain really do such a thing......
Karen's brow furrowed, as before, Leah's analysis, while reasonable, was not convincing. After all, Jermain usually has a good reputation in the court, and his demeanor is also very decent.
"I know that Sister Karen will be confused, and I have already said it, in fact, even my father does not believe my analysis. ”
Jermain is Isabella's fiancé, and as for how much ambition this paladin hides under the bright form, only a few people such as Leah and Isabella know.
This is one of the reasons why the princess is so ugly that she is sure of the alchemist's sustenance.
If the other party wants to overthrow Isabella and become king, what is more quick, convenient and unrealistic than the sudden and sudden death of the queen today?
When all the clues are gathered together, it will be found that Germain's intentions of cultivating an alchemist as a hidden combat force are worth playing. I'm afraid it was one of the fangs that this poisonous snake had carefully brewed.
