Chapter 4: The Impossible Escape
"Sister Karen, you want more evidence, I couldn't give it to you originally, but this time even Jermain seems to be a little anxious. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Leah felt that this assassination incident was not completely untraceable.
"You mean to say that you found each other's feet?"
Karen asked.
"I understand Leah's thoughts, and I can't say anything, but there are some things worth playing. ”
Isabella, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Because Leah's injuries have not healed, let me explain it here, first of all, Miss Karen, you must know that the evil eye essence potion, that is, the kind of poison that paralyzes all of us in the dungeon, is made of a sixth-level alchemist, in other words, the other party is at least a sixth-level alchemist, and this kind of alchemist is not even among the royal pharmacists of my father, so there are obviously not many families who have the financial resources and rights to cultivate such a pharmacist. ”
That's right, although the alchemist is not as demanding in terms of talent as the orthodox mage, but it is an extremely expensive profession, and the alchemist has reached the fourth level and above, without the support of the big family, and in the face of those expensive potions, it is almost impossible to further his skills.
And unfortunately, in this small circle, Germain, as one of the three nobles, does have the financial resources to train such an alchemist.
"What's more, this potion, as the name suggests, requires the blood and tears of the Evil Eye, and it must be the Lord of the Evil Eye!"
This was originally a simple reasoning, but unfortunately Karen didn't know anything about potions. So in this assassination, there are indeed some small corners that only the two mage misses, Leah and Isabella, can see clearly.
Evil Eye Lord - That's the Dungeon Lord of the Bad. A ninth-level monster, evil, and full of wisdom. Not only does the massive Evil Eye Lord possess a massive amount of spiritual power and can perform all kinds of terrifying magic, but it is also said to have a thin dragon blood flowing through its body, and it is quite strong even in hand-to-hand combat.
Such a monster is not something that anyone can afford to mess with, except Randall. Mage City and Salman Holy Cult Kingdom, and the rest of the small countries may even have the tragedy of destroying the country when they encounter the Evil Eye Lord.
"So, you're trying to say. Randall is the only one who has the financial resources and the opportunity to carry out this assassination, right?"
The clever countess immediately understood what the two meant.
"That's right, first of all, the Holy Church of Salman can be completely excluded. The reason has been said before. They could not use mages or alchemists who were considered heretical.
And a hundred steps back, even if they really didn't even want faith and sent an alchemist, I really couldn't understand why they only targeted me and not Isabella.
You know, Princess Randall's strategic value is obviously much greater than that of me, the daughter of a small duke, and the reason why Isabella didn't put Isabella first in the previous sniping. It's because the assassination was so explicit that the target was Randall. Or even a strong backlash within the country.
But in the dungeon, we have just finished fighting with a large number of Medusa, and at that time we will use potions to kill us, and then disguise ourselves as the Medusa community, so that we can perfectly not fall into the truth, such a good opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if the other party is really from the Holy Cult, only if the brain is broken, will give up. ”
After a short pause, Leah spoke again, and she added to Karen's words.
"As for Mage City, first of all, this can't be what Lord Hanufain meant, because the Great Sage doesn't need to be so troublesome to deal with Randall. Then, the only people who are also capable of sending this kind of Cheng dù assassin are Sharuzod and the Elemental Council.
But to be honest, I really don't think I have any inextricable hatred with these two forces, and I need them to do so. ”
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lori said that there was no motive for the Mage City side to assassinate her.
"So all that's left are the three nobles of the Randall Kingdom?"
Karen nodded, though she didn't want to admit it, but what Leah said did make sense, and it was impossible to refute it.
"That's right, what's more, back in the reign of Randall V, our country did once crusade against an Evil Eye Lord. Therefore, it is not impossible to say that there are potions related to it that still flow among the great nobles.
So let's see, among the three nobles, the father is the first not to be suspicious, and secondly, the Britt family......"
"Carlyle and you have a good relationship in the Britt family, and I, as a soldier, can vouch for it with honor—the Duke of Arman is not the kind of person who would use such abusive tactics. If he hates you, he might duel you and cut you down, but assassinate ......"
Karen took Leah's words and shook her head, denying the possibility that the Britt family were criminals.
"So Sister Karen, you should be clear now, although we have no evidence, there are not many people who can do this, and the most likely person is only Jermain.
Especially in this assassination attempt, Isabella was not on target—although the other party wanted to kill me, he had no idea about Randall's princess. This in itself is very doubtful.
And Germain, although he has murderous intent towards Isabella, he will never do it before marrying the princess, because in that case, his dream of becoming a prince will be ruined first, let alone being a king. ”
Eventually, Leah concluded.
"I hate to admit it, but your words have indeed shattered the image that Viscount Germain has created in my mind, Leah. ”
Karen smiled wryly and shook her head, signaling that she had nothing to say about Leah's reasoning.
"Well...... But no matter what, Germain made a mistake this time, not only did he not kill me, but he also lost his strongest move, the dark chess, without which many of his plans would be difficult to implement in the future,"
Smiling with satisfaction, Leah said.
"Hey, Leah, what are you talking about?"
"Yes, the alchemist obviously escaped, how could it be gone?"
However, this time, her words were unanimously opposed by the two.
"What!? she escaped !?"
"Well, although it was a little difficult to speak, but we were still in a state of paralysis at the time, when we saw the man suddenly rush out of the wall, leaving us and fleeing without looking back, as if he had been injured in some way. ”
Reflecting on the day, Isabella said.
"It's just a few injuries!? wait, she's been sprayed by Babafen's dragon breath!!"
Leah almost screamed, a little alchemist, trying to escape alive from the dragon's breath, and the dragon's Babafen's, knew with his feet that it was impossible.
But this happened......
"Speaking of which, I thought it was a little strange at first, Sister Eve, what exactly does it take to cross that wall made of spatial elements!?"
Turning her head, Leah looked at Eve and asked. Yes, the wall kept both Karin and Isabella out of the dungeon, but why would the Assassin be allowed to run wild?
In this regard, the only person present who may have some clues is Eve, or the goddess Evette.
"Hey......? That wall is part of Leah's seat, and only the Daughter of Chaos can enter it...... Why was the Assassin allowed to enter...... Is that right...... No way...... Ahh!!h
Leah's words caused the goddess to think, and Eve, who was naturally stunned, did not react until this time, there seemed to be something in that assassination that even she would find incredible, but soon, she realized that she seemed to have said something that should not be said, so she covered her mouth tightly.
"My seat? and...... What is the Daughter of Chaos?"
Looking at the goddess, Leah frowned.
But the other party didn't seem to be going to say anything more, just covered his mouth and shook his head vigorously, and let out a "woo" moan.
"Hey...... Forget it, I won't force you if you don't want to say it, anyway, it seems that even you think this thing is incredible, right?"
Although the goddess didn't say anything, the shocked look before obviously betrayed her.
"Uh......h Woo......"
In the face of Leah's inquiry, the other party still covered his mouth and just nodded desperately.
It seems that even the goddess did not fully understand this matter, why the assassin was able to freely enter and leave the place called Leah's "seat", could that the assassin be the "daughter of chaos" in Eve's mouth?
For a moment, the room was filled with a depressed and confused atmosphere.
