Chapter 4: Sunset, Graveyard, and Conspiracy

The milky white light flickered, and the pale white light swirled around Di Xue's palm, and the wound on the smooth skin in front of the palm was healing at a visible speed.

He stretched out his other hand to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead, it wasn't that he was tired of performing this bachelor's level Origin System Healing Technique, but that he had to control his palm not to touch the crisp chest under the wound......

Taylor couldn't help but laugh softly when he looked at him.

By this time, Taylor had taken off the hood attached to her pure white bizarre costume on her head, revealing long silky blonde hair and a delicate face.

She has dark blue eyes, with a faint purple tinge on closer inspection. There is a bit of cuteness in the purity of her delicate facial features, Taylor's age seems to be younger than Di Xue, but at this time she has faded the clothes on her left shoulder, revealing her fair and delicate shoulders, and her proud breasts, which is even more charming.

Hearing Taylor's laughter, Di Xue's usually slightly pale cheeks were slightly red, and he stroked his forehead and sighed, "Why are you here every time you get injured...... Hidden parts?"

He couldn't find any decent adjectives, so he could only use the word "secretive."

Taylor sneered, glanced at Di Xue coquettishly, looked at Di Xue innocently and said, "Because...... People will only come to you for treatment when they are injured in these "hidden" areas. ”

Di Xue: "......"

The sun is twilight, and the evening breeze is slightly cool.

Towards evening, the ornate wooden carriage drove through the quiet forest, through a knight's cemetery in front of the woods, and arrived at the Divine Law Academy near Winter City, one of the eight major cities of the Heroic Soul Plain.

After the fall of the Holy City, the Screaming Emperor ordered the burial of all the Imperial soldiers who died in the siege battle, as well as the 100,000 Guardian cavalry of the Church, because the Screaming Emperor believed that warriors who died for honor and loyalty should be treated with due respect.

Therefore, this plain, where countless heroic souls are buried, is also named the Plains of Heroic Souls.

Even though more than 1,400 years have passed, now on the Heroic Soul Plain, in addition to the fertile fields and continuous pine forests and fir forests, you can still see the knights' cemeteries that have been well preserved by the imperial government since the founding of the Manhua Empire, and most of these cemeteries belong to the former enemies of the empire.

Seeing that the wound on Taylor's right shoulder was almost healed, Di Xue withdrew the magic in her hand and motioned for Taylor to arrange his clothes.

At this time, Xu Bo drove the carriage around a corner, crossed a stone bridge, the road in front of him suddenly opened up, the trees gradually thinned, a round of sunset suddenly jumped into the car window, the golden light of the setting sun sprinkled on the body of a man and a woman in the car, some long-lost warm and peaceful feeling.

Di Xue squinted at the reddish sunset, sighed, and then asked very seriously, "Taylor, did you say that the person who attacked us in the afternoon was really an idiot?"

Taylor tilted her head to think about it, her long eyelashes fluttering in the breeze, and she looked particularly cute with her movements, and after thinking for a moment, she came to a somewhat amuseful conclusion: "It seems to be, it seems to be not." ”

They were naturally talking about the black-clad assassins who had been in the woods before, and indeed, assassinating the Grand Prince of the Empire so close to the Eternal City and the Divine Law Academy required not only incomparable courage, but also incomparable idiots to do it.

It didn't take twenty minutes for the Royal Guards to rush at full speed, and the magician-level powerhouses of the Divine Law Academy might be even faster, and this qiē only needed a small magic signal from Di Xue.

The most ridiculous thing is that the strength of the assassin Di Xue is so weak that it can't reach the point where he can ask for help, and he can solve all the problems with the strength of his own side alone.

This qiē proves that this assassination of an idiot can really only be planned by an idiot.

However, Taylor was not too sure that they were idiots, because when she later cleaned the battlefield, she found that the Assassins were clean in terms of clothing and weapons, and did not look like randomly recruited mercenaries.

The key is that the leader of the men in black who was knocked down by Uncle Xu at the beginning was not actually killed, the palm that Uncle Xu printed on his waist at that time only knocked him unconscious and sealed the fighting spirit of his whole body, so that he could be interrogated afterwards, but when Uncle Xu woke him up and was about to interrogate who was the main messenger behind the scenes, the leader of the men in black actually killed himself by biting the poison hidden between his teeth.

With the will to die, even Xu Bo and Taylor, two martial arts powerhouses who are known for their speed, did not have time to stop it.

Di Xue shook her head and said a little indifferently: "Maybe this group of people is also related to the people who intercepted you and injured you, don't worry about it for now, the corpse is there, there will always be something to investigate when you go back, I want to see which idiot dares to assassinate me." ”

Although Di Xue was not harmed, the fact that someone outside the Eternal City had so blatantly assassinated him naturally aroused his anger.

Taylor said: "It's indeed a little strange, I thought it was just an ordinary investigation, but I didn't expect to provoke three high-ranking martial artists, after I got rid of them, I sent an eagle message to the people of the Brotherhood to inform you, didn't you receive it?"

"No, I waited for you in the old place for a long time, and before I waited for you, I left for the seminary. "Emperor Snow Road.

Taylor frowned and said, "It's strange, maybe I missed it, maybe my people were intercepted too......"

Taylor didn't say any more, because the members of the Brotherhood of Light would send Eagle Letters in return regardless of whether they completed or failed their missions, and Taylor had not received the Eagle Letter in return until now, which probably proved that the Brotherhood member had ...... Death.

Di Xue comforted Taylor a few words, and Uncle Xu, who was driving, also said with a smile: "Speaking of Miss Taylor, you let us wait for a while today, and let the eldest prince bask in the sun for three or four hours just to wait for one person, I'm afraid that you are the only one who can make His Highness do this, hahaha." ”

Di Xue feigned anger and said: "If you want to talk more, I ...... It's just that I forgot the time when I read a book. ”

Taylor glanced at Di Xue with some surprise, she really didn't expect that Di Xue had been waiting for her for so long, she and Di Xue would meet every week on the stone chair in Heroic Square.

The two had made an early agreement that if one of them was more than half an hour late, there would be no need to wait, because this was not a tryst between lovers, but a normal meeting between superiors and subordinates, Taylor was a disciple of this generation of Brotherhood of Light mentors, and now he was ordered by his mentor to follow Di Xue's side

The wooden carriage drove into an old imperial road, with a small hill on one side and a verdant old locust tree on the other, and a continuous cemetery on the other.

The sun is about to set, and the rows of neat tombstones are covered with a layer of pale gold.

Many of the tombstones have been engraved with the vicissitudes of time, and it is clear that the time has been quite long, and there are many statues of angels and knights standing in the cemetery.

The grass is everywhere, the white flowers are in full bloom, the butterflies are dancing among the flowers and plants, and the cemetery here does not have any gloomy and ghostly atmosphere, but has some sacred charm.

This is a cemetery built for the cathar cavalry of the Church on the Plains of Heroic Souls, and many statues of guardian angels were erected in the cemetery to respect their beliefs.

Time is the most ruthless, but even though more than 1,400 years have passed, there are very few descendants of knights who come here to worship, and this cemetery is still not abandoned, which shows that the royal families of the Manhua Empire attach great importance to the last life of the Emperor Xiaotian.

After this knight's cemetery, it is only a dozen miles away from the magical holy land of the Manhua Empire, the Divine Law Academy

A young man stood on a hillside beside the road, dressed in fine clothes, obviously from an extraordinary family, and looked at the approaching wooden carriage in front of him, and looked down and sighed, as if there was endless sadness hidden in the sigh.

This young aristocratic man is very handsome, but there seems to be a lingering sorrow between his eyebrows, which makes his temperament always seem a little melancholy.

There were many figures flickering in the locust grove beside him, and a middle-aged man walked out of the darkness, knelt down on one knee towards the young man and said, "Little master, the investigation is clear, no one is following him, and the people who attacked in the first wave before are all dead." ”

The melancholy young man's voice was a little dull, "Oh, although they are all a bunch of waste, but there is not a single one left, are you sure that it is only him and his old servant?"

The middle-aged man said: "Judging from the wounds, there are two martial arts powerhouses who have made a move, and one of them is using a short sword, and it seems that his female subordinate of the Brotherhood is also there." ”

"It turns out that your little lover is also there, so you must not be lonely on the way to the spiritual world. I don't know why, talking about such a taboo topic, the young man's tone was a little sad, as if he was worried about the person who was about to die, he glanced at the three long things covered with black cloth not far in front of him, and forcibly regained his tone to be cold: "He's almost there, let the ambushed people be a little farther away, this place is too close to the Divine Law Academy, let's do it quickly, and also, have the corpses over there been disposed of?"

"It's all taken care of, and there is not a trace left. The middle-aged man replied.

In fact, it has not been long since Di Xue was assassinated in the forest before, and these people have completed the analysis of the wound, the disposal of the corpse, and the arrangement of the room so quickly, obviously very efficient.

"I'll go first, I can't stay here longer, I'll leave it all to you. When the young man had finished speaking, he turned and walked into the darkness.
