I really can't control myself.

Chapter 858 Bad news

"System prompt: This investigation is over, and the investigation progress is being calculated..."

"The investigation progress is 42.5%, and 425000 points have been obtained."

"System prompt: Get 1775000 battle points."

"System prompt: You have obtained a random reward, absolutely equal speed."

The task here was successfully completed, after all, it exceeded a lot, and the battle points were also expected by Linton. Generally speaking, it was nothing special. The only thing that can be said to be quite unexpected is this random reward. Absolutely What is constant velocity?After all, Linton really doesn't remember the plot of this animation very much, so he can't remember whose ability it is, but the ability has already been acquired, so Linton can try it directly.

After a little testing, Linton probably knew what was going on.All in all, the thing you throw can move forward at an absolute speed without being disturbed by other factors. For example, if you throw a ball, it will naturally slow down in general. After all, it is affected by air resistance and gravity. However, if you use this ability, the ball you throw can always fly forward. If you want to block the ball, the only way to block it is to use something harder than the ball to block the ball. , otherwise the ball will also penetrate the blocking object.

However, it seems that because the ability level I got is not very high, the scope of action seems to be limited. After throwing something beyond the range of about 30 meters of my body, this ability will become invalid. There is also no option to upgrade, and the thrown things cannot maintain this ability unless they keep following him forward.

To be honest, Linton doesn't know whether this ability is useful or not. At the moment, he doesn't think of any special way to use it. Anyway, it's for nothing, so let's talk about it later.

Of course, the main gain this time is in terms of points, mainly because of the spiritual outfits I made. Now Linton’s points have reached 1400 million again. Compared with the points, he should be able to complete some construction tasks , Temporarily alleviated the problem of my points, so I am quite satisfied.However, after scanning his task bar, he didn't find any tasks yet, so Linton could only wait to see if there would be any tasks in the next few days, and then consider his future plans.

Let's put aside the matter of investigation for the time being. It has been nearly two months since Linton went out. After all, it is also a newlywed period. The first thing Linton thinks of now is his wife Yalan.The place where he left before was in the Duke’s Mansion. Of course, Linton also went directly to Yalan, so Linton soon found a maid in the Duke’s Mansion and asked where Princess Yalan was now. However, seeing Linton, The maid here is extremely excited.

"Lord Linton, you are finally back. Something has happened, and now His Highness the Duke and Princess are looking for you everywhere." The maid said anxiously.

"Calm down." Linton held his forehead, as if major incidents did not happen once or twice when he was away, Linton was not surprised, "Take a deep breath, don't worry, after all, I'm already back, right? Take your time." tell me what happened?"

"Huh... um... um... where do I start?" The maid here still hadn't completely calmed down, as if her expressive skills were not very good. After thinking for a long time, she said directly: "In short, Your Majesty is dead."

"What?" Linton was taken aback, "Your Majesty? You mean His Majesty the Emperor? Wigley?"

"Hmm..." The maid here nodded quickly.

"What did my nephew do?" Linton asked directly in his first reaction.

"Of course not!" The maids were all terrified, so it's okay to do it?After all, Gasein is the Duke of the empire, isn't killing the emperor treason?Isn't Linton's heart a little too big? What was his first reaction, and he directly put the label of treason on his nephew?

"No..." Linton nodded, seeming to be a little disappointed, "It wasn't my nephew who did it, isn't it a good thing? Who did it?"

"Well, Lord Linton, I don't know either, but I know it wasn't the Duke who did it, but people outside said...all said the Duke did it." The maid said.

"Oh? You mean, the emperor is dead, but now we don't know who did it, but someone outside said that my nephew did it?" Linton asked.

"Yes, my lord, not only the Duke, but also the news that you did it." The maid said.

Linton was laughed out of anger, his own people are not in this world, yet some people say that he did it by himself, it seems that someone deliberately set the rhythm: "What's going on, please explain clearly..."

"That... that... I..." The maid here didn't know if Linton was angry, but seeing Linton's expression, she became even more nervous, and she couldn't even speak.

"Forget it, just tell me where my nephew and Yalan are now, and I'll ask them," Linton said.

The maid can answer this question. First of all, Princess Yalan is presiding over things in the palace now, of course she is presiding with Eldest Princess Fulla.With Wigley's death now, the empire can only find two princesses to preside over it, so now both of them are in the palace.Gasain is now in the barracks of the First Legion, because Gasain was suddenly appointed as the Marshal of the First Legion a few days ago, so he hasn't come back these days.

Linton can probably guess what was going on about Gassan being appointed as the marshal of the First Legion. After all, the First Legion is the most elite legion in the empire, and its station is very close to the main city. In the event of death, it is naturally very important to control the army as soon as possible.Linton estimated that it was his wife's judgment. After all, Yalan's political sensitivity was still very high, and besides himself, Gassein was naturally the best choice, so he was allowed to take over the First Army.

In this case, Linton decided to ask Yalan about the situation first. Of course, Linton also left the mark of the Flying Thunder God on his daughter-in-law. With a teleport, Linton directly appeared in the palace.The place where he appeared was in the apse of the palace, and Linton was very familiar with this place. When he met Wigley before, he was often here, but now the person sitting in the main seat became himself. His wife Yalan, and there are a few people beside her, except for Princess Fulla Linton, who I don’t know. They should be the ministers of the empire. Now it looks like they are having a small meeting.

Seeing Linton's sudden appearance, Princess Yalan was overjoyed immediately, and obviously had a lot to say.However, considering that there were other people in the room, Princess Yalan did not speak immediately, and said to the minister in front of her, "You guys go out first, my sister and I need to discuss it first."

Although she was talking about her sister, it was obvious that she wanted to discuss it with Linton.Of course, the ministers are well aware that the Merovie family has basically controlled the empire at present. Of course, they have nothing to do about it now. After greeting Linton, several people retreated. Princess Yalan and Princess Fulla are left.

"Come and hug me first." Linton also hugged Princess Yalan without saying a word.Although the two are already husband and wife, Yalan is obviously not used to it. After hugging, she hurriedly got down to business.

"Is your father really dead?" Linton asked directly.

"Hmm." Speaking of this, Princess Yalan here still looked very sad. Although she didn't say much, Linton could also see the sadness in the other party's eyes.Wigley is pretty good to Princess Yalan, but of course Princess Yalan has a deeper feeling for Wigley.

Of course, Linton can't say that this is a good thing in front of Yalan, and his EQ can't be so low, right?Linton also asked directly: "What's going on? It shouldn't be a disease. He didn't seem to have any problems with his body before. Isn't the genetic disease already cured by the Dragon Blood Sword Grass potion? Could it be an assassination or something? ?”

"Yes." Princess Yalan indeed confirmed Linton's guess, and she was indeed assassinated again.Linton is also very strange. Is the assassination success rate in this world too high? His own cheap father was assassinated, and many people in his family were also assassinated. After all, he is just a small nobleman. , and now not only the eldest prince of the empire has been assassinated, but the emperor can also be assassinated?Linton wondered if there was an organization called Assassin in this world.

"In the palace?" asked Linton.

"No... outside." Princess Yalan said.

"Outside? During a private visit?" Linton asked. Yes, the emperors of this world basically never leave the palace. They don't spend most of their time in the palace as they inspect the country all day like inviting the first emperor. Stay, so it's still kind of weird that Wigley is out.

"This matter...is a bit complicated." Princess Yalan organized her language a little bit, and also told Linton a series of things that happened in Linton's absence, "The whole thing starts from a man named Thomas Speaking of people from Heihe, just about a month ago, this person suddenly appeared and declared himself the true heir of the empire."

"Huh?" Linton was taken aback, "Who is this, the real heir?"

"Yes, he claims to be his father's illegitimate son, and wants his father to recognize his identity and make him the new crown prince." Princess Yalan said.

"Is there something wrong with hearing this?" Linton said immediately, "Does Wigley believe it?"

"My father didn't believe it at first, but he wrote a letter to my father. After reading it, my father's attitude changed significantly." Princess Yalan said.
