Chapter 152: Mortal Wound

The three of them finally came to the basement where the body of the Holy King Roy was placed.

"Lord Byron, you said that once we come into contact with other people, magic fails. What if it's contact with a dead person?" asked Gerante suddenly.

"A corpse is a dead thing, and even if you touch it, it won't be a big problem. It's just that I don't know if Parsa has ever done anything to a corpse. Byron responded.

"If you had known that Ruona would have come along, we would have no good way to deal with Parsa's strange magic. Geraint's brow furrowed.

"Don't worry, I'm prepared. As he spoke, Byron pulled out an oval-shaped, flat glass ball from his bosom. Due to the dim light in the basement, the glass spheres appear particularly crystal clear at night.

"Lord Byron, what treasures are you still hiding on you, let's take them out, so that I can also be mentally prepared. Geraint spread her hands.

"According to Lady Ruona, this is a magic detection crystal that can detect if the object we are touching has been enchanted. If there is a magic in zài, what type of magic it is can also be identified. Byron said earnestly.

"Lord Ruona is incredible. "It seems that it is good to travel more......

"In order to ensure that the body of the Holy King does not decay, cryomagic is essential. Byron approached the stone bed, where Roy's body was kept, picked up the crystal, and swept it at his body, "Let's see if Parsa has added any magic other than cryomagic?"

Joshua followed him to the side of the stone bed, and the faint glow of the crystal allowed him to see Roy's appearance.

Roy on the slate bed had his eyes closed tightly, his expression very serene. Roy's face was well-groomed, with a gray-black beard on his chin, but he looked very neat. Judging from the contours of his eyes, he must have been a beautiful man with clear and charming eyes when he was young. Although there was already a cold corpse in front of him, Joshua felt a kind of kindness and warmth in this person. He felt that this person was familiar, but the memory was blank. He felt a little pain in his head, because he always felt that this person had been buried deep in his memory. "They say it's the old king who died, and I'm the current king...... Then he should be my father in this world. Joshua thought to himself, "Uncle Geraint never mentioned who my father was in the real world. Is it ......?"

"Uncle Geraint has always emphasized that Parsa, the king of the Reims Empire, is an evil fellow and our great enemy. And now Parsa is the prime minister of the kingdom of Reims, and he respectfully calls me king. Joshua's mind flickered, "Goddess of Light, is this qiē a qiē corresponding to reality?If I can pass the trials of the Guò Temple, I must ask Uncle Geraint in the real world, what is going on? Well, that's right." Wasn't he the first knight of the Golden Dragon Knights before? Uncle Haig and Lord Frem must have known about my origins. But I really don't want me to be some kind of prince, I have been a king for a few days, and I usually have a very depressed life except for feeling that there are good things to eat and drink......"

There have been rumours about the secret passage in the Prime Minister's Tower, and when it was built, the builders destroyed the blueprints to protect the castle's secrets. How many rooms in Prime Minister Tari are connected by a guò tunnel may not be clear even to Parsa himself. Of course, there are many things he doesn't know, such as the secret passages of the Holy Light Temple, such as Ruona's various strange magic. Byron scanned Roy's body with the crystal, which shimmered blue and merged into several letters into a few words.

"Frozen" - Byron saw the word in the crystal. "It seems that Parsa didn't put any defensive magic on the corpse of the royal brother. ”

"But even then, how are we going to investigate?" asked Geraint.

"Let's see if there are any wounds on the Holy King's body!" Byron prayed to the gods of the heavenly realm, asking for forgiveness for his manipulation of corpses. Byron first carefully observed Roy's hair, because if it was really poisoned and died, especially the kind of snake venom produced in Fog Forest City, if it died because of oral administration, then there must be something completely wrong with the hair roots of the deceased. But now it seems that there is nothing unusual at the root of the hair, that is, Miranda's inference that the snake venom penetrated through the skin is completely correct. Byron lifted the robe that had rolled up over Roy and took one of his hands to examine it closely. "The most obvious feature of this venom is the blackening of the nails if it penetrates through the skin, and it seems that Parsa and Bolton have teamed up to frame us. ”

Byron then began to observe Roy's torso again. According to the custom of the Kingdom of Reims, when the king died, he had to be buried in royal robes. Suddenly, above the navel of the Holy King Roy, Byron found traces that resembled blood clotting, and the entire navel became a large dark red circle.

Although the corpses were preserved by cryomagic, they could still faintly smell some rancid smell. "The corpse of His Majesty the King is very strange," said Byron, "what is the matter? The secret of His Majesty's death is most likely the clotted blood in front of him!" To be able to cause this kind of bleeding is definitely a fatal blow. But where did the wound go, Byron asked himself inwardly. Although the Holy King was old, he was also an excellent knight with a gold-level fighting spirit when he was young, and after all, his physique was very strong. If you want to make his internal organs bleed profusely without leaving a wound, that is, to do this with the power of his fist alone, there is no one in the entire Reims Kingdom who can do it, right? Seeing that his brother's death was very miserable, and he was wronged, Byron's heart was also dripping blood. But as knights, they did not cry even when their father died. Byron vividly remembers that their father died when he was in his twenties, and that Roy took on the burden of the country at a young age. What he didn't expect now was that his brother died even more young than his father. At that time, when Roy ascended the throne, the leaders of the older generation of the Five Dragons Knights were over fifty, just like the Sword Saint Hakan. And Bai Ao and Schroeder are just the same age as the current Geraint, he and these people spent almost all their childhood in Floating City, and they were all leaders of the same generation who grew up together, including Parsa, and he was in his twenties at that time.

"What shall we do now, Lord Byron?" asked Geraint, "this bruise of the Holy King is very strange, but we can't do something as perverse as the dissection of a corpse, can we?"

"Since there are no wounds on the surface of the corpse, then maybe ......" Byron thought carefully. Immediately, he pulled out the magic detection crystal that Ruona had left behind.

"Lord Byron, do you suspect that the Holy King's death had something to do with magic?" asked Geraint.

"It is very unlikely that the Holy King will be injured directly by force, and if it is the person who is closest to him who is most easily approachable. But magic is different......," Byron frowned, "don't forget what Parsa has always done, and he's one of the most accessible people in the entire Knights, besides me. ”

Soon, the crystal shook back and forth on Roy's navel, and after a while, the whole crystal shook violently......

"What's going on? Jona's crystal has such a strong reaction......" Geraint was shocked.

Some of the letters kept scurrying around in the crystal, but they never came together into a complete character as they had been. Soon, the letters turned into clouds of black gas, floating around in the crystal.

At this moment, the sky was already dawning, and the rising sun was dotting the top of the Prime Minister's Tower with vivid crimson, but the walls below were still in the night, and the outer city was so quiet.

"Hey, you guys slept soundly, if the Prime Minister knew you were lazy at night, I wouldn't spare you......" Suddenly the doorman in the basement heard the voices of a few new guards.
