Chapter 395: Friend and Foe Are Inseparable
"Not a single one alive left!Who did the boss here offend and suffer such bloody revenge from the other party?" Bazel gasped and exclaimed when he saw the scene inside the inn.
"It's not revenge, it's to kill them! They must have seen something they shouldn't see, so they brought this murder to themselves!"
"Are there any survivors?" Gnawner's face became more and more ugly in the face of such a tragic situation, and he turned his head to look at the team leader who was in charge of searching the place.
"We've looked at every room, and we haven't found a single survivor!"
"Before you arrived here, I sent to inquire about some of the surrounding residents, some of whom claimed that a carriage had stopped in front of the inn about five days ago morning, but had left soon after. Soon after, the hotel closed its doors and hung a sign outside the door stating that it was temporarily closed. Since then, no one has seen anyone walk out of the inn, and it wasn't until we searched the place and forcibly opened the door that they knew that something like this had happened at the inn!"
"Our investigation of the corpse also confirmed the villagers' claim that the murder should have happened just five days ago!"
"The person who attacked was extremely professional, not only killed everyone with one move, but he also dealt with it accordingly afterwards to ensure that they did not attract the attention of the people around them because of the smell of the corpse's decay!"
Hearing the sergeant's description, Lilian was shocked, she didn't know what Lu Dao was for, she suddenly remembered the merchant she saw on the side of the road the day before yesterday, and her eyes became complicated.
"There was no sign of any turning in the inn. All valuables, including cash, were still in place, and this murder was not for the sake of money!" the soldier didn't seem to notice the change in Lillian. He continued to brief Gner on the various types of information he had gathered.
"Miss Lillian, do you think there's anything wrong with him?" said Ginner, who suddenly turned to Lillian. He had just taken in Lilian's every move, and he couldn't help but wonder why Lilian would react like that.
"No, no! I just think this murderer is too cruel, and I'm a little scared by him!" Lilian waved her hand at Gna with a shocked face. It's just that anyone can see that her fear comes more from Gna's problem!
"You put down what you're doing first, and go out and wait for my orders!" Gna gave Lillian a deep look, and waved his hand to drive all the soldiers in the inn who were looking for clues out of the hotel.
"Miss Lillian, do you think the murder here has something to do with Archduke Edlaide?" said Gnawner, who lowered his voice slightly as he watched everyone else walk out of the dining room.
"I'm just a little skeptical! From what I know about Edlaide, it's unlikely that he'd do anything like that. Lillian saw that Gna suspected this. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression calmed down.
"Nothing is impossible! Who else but him could kill so many people silently?!" Bazel clearly had a huge difference of opinion with Lillian.
"In my impression, the Grand Duke of Edlaide has never done anything to ordinary people, could it be just a coincidence that things here are here?"
"How can there be such a coincidence?! Now it is different from the past! Edlaide is now like a 'lost dog', every day is in constant fear! Under such psychological pressure, he can't care so much!"
"As a saint-level master, he actually attacked an unarmed ordinary person, and he really lost the face of the entire Dongyu Empire this time!" Bazel smiled coldly. Retort Lillian.
"I think we should make this matter public now, so that everyone can clearly understand the true face of our so-called 'young hero'!" Bazel hated Li Zijun to the core, and did not miss any opportunity to slander him.
"Lord Bazel. You seem to have forgotten the relationship between the Grand Duke and the Princess, who ordered us to hunt down the Grand Duke, but she may not allow us to insult him out of nothing!"
"After all, what you're saying is just your personal speculation, so far. There is no evidence yet that the matter is related to the Grand Duke. ”
"If we were to be bold in linking this murder to the Archduke of Edlaide, we would not only mislead our plans for the next tracking. It is also very likely to arouse the strong dissatisfaction of the princess! Therefore, I think we should now deal with this matter in a low-key manner. Focus more on judging the possible escape route of the Grand Duke of Edlaide!" Before Gna could speak, Lillian stepped forward to veto Bazel's vicious idea.
"It's easy to say, we searched all the way, and we didn't even see Edlaide's shadow, how can we judge his escape route?"
"It's because we haven't seen Edlaide until now that it's easier for us to guess where he's fled?" Lillian smiled softly, turning her head to look at General Gna.
Lillian herself couldn't figure out why she would say this at this moment, she was just about to persuade Gna to send someone to turn around and chase after the merchant, but she didn't know what Lu Dao was doing, and in the blink of an eye, she did something trying to mislead Gerna.
"Miss Lillian is trying to say: Archduke Edlaide has fled south?" asked Gnawner, frowning and looking at Lillian with a puzzled face.
"As Bazel said, we have come all this way, and we have not even met a person of similar size to the Grand Duke of Edlaide, what is this for?"
"That's because we haven't caught up with him yet! he's somewhere ahead of us!" Lillian seemed to be deceived by the lies she had wove herself, and her confidence grew brighter and brighter as she said this.
General Gerner kept his head down, and for a long time did not comment on Lillian's 'inference'.
The knocker at the door of "Dangdangdang" walked in without waiting for a response from the insiders.
"You" Bazel was about to vent the anger he received from Lillian, but when he saw the comer, he had to swallow the words back from his mouth.
"General, the entire town has been searched, and nothing unusual has been found!" the man seemed to have only Gna in his eyes, and when he entered the house, he didn't even look at Bazel and Lillian.
"Thank you, Master!" 'Master' was the first person to rush out after hearing about the murder, and Gna was especially polite to him.
"Master, do you think this has anything to do with Edlaide?" Gnawner, seeing that the 'Master' who was wrapped in a black cloth except for his eyes was not in a hurry to leave, hesitated for a moment and asked.
"He didn't kill him, but it doesn't mean that he has nothing to do with him!"
"Master, what do you mean?" Gnar looked at Bazel and Lillian, and seeing that they were also at a loss, he had to turn his head and continue to ask the master for advice.
"The murderer is an imitator, and he is trying to imitate some of Edlaide's habits, and this is the only thing that Edlaide has to do with it!
"Master, I remember you said that during this time, Edlaide's skill will decline dramatically, even to the level of only a high-level swordsman. What you just said, could it be that his skills have declined, causing him to be unable to do his job and have some problems?"
"Edlaide's lack of skill will indeed have some impact on his moves, but it will never be as serious as what you see!"
"I once conducted a systematic and comprehensive investigation of Edlaide, and I was surprised to find that his martial arts skills can be regarded as self-contained in Dongyu and in the entire Youlan Continent!"
"The improvement in his skill is a miracle, which is almost impossible to replicate, and what amazes me the most is his performance in terms of technique!"
"He has a strange perfection in the use and control of his strength, which allows him to often fight big with small and strong with weak!"
"Just like the big battle between him and Harvey before, although Harvey finally bowed his head and conceded defeat, I believe that the vast majority of people think that Edlaide is just borrowing the 'Sword of Eros' to have a slight advantage!"
"Isn't it?" said Bazel, with some disdain.
"Of course not! Harvey would have made a wise move to admit defeat, and if he continued to fight, he would have suffered even worse!"
"Harvey's pair of 'wolf claws' are made of Mithril, the materials are real and the workmanship is of the highest quality, I believe that no weapon in this world can easily cut it, not even the 'Sword of Eros'!"
"I've seen Master Harvey's 'wolf claws' covered in scars!"
"It's because your gaze can only stay on the surface of things, so even with Shaw's personal teachings, you are only at the level you are now!"
"Let me ask you, which of the wounds on Harvey's 'wolf claws' was caused by Edlaide's sword?"
Hearing the masked man's words, Bazel was shocked, and he immediately understood what the other party wanted to express.
"The response is not bad, I hope you can keep this awakening all the time, and live up to what Shaw once taught you!"
"The battle between Harvey and Edlaide, I think, even if Edlaide does not have the 'Sword of Eros', Harvey will not be able to get Edlaide! The reason is very simple, that is, Edlaide's control of the strength is still above Harvey, and under the advantages of one or the other, the two sides will at most be a lose-lose situation!"
"And here, although all the dead were killed by one move, the fatal injuries they showed were of different depths! Even if Edlaide only has the skills of a high-level swordsman now, it is impossible for him to make such a big omission when dealing with this group of weak people!"
"Therefore, I conclude that the deaths of these people have nothing to do with Edlaide!"
"And what is the real purpose of this imitator to imitate Edlaide?" (To be continued......)
