Working Prophet.

The dragon slaying hero is like a birthday gift from the Welch family to Ilea this time.

It is made of bronze, the same height as the female lord, but with a better figure, wearing armor, stepping on the dragon head, holding a sword in hand, and has firm eyes. Miss Rabbit likes it very much.

Of course, it would be even better if it was made of gold.

Like other gifts, the bronze statue was inspected by the guards of the Arias family when it was first pulled into the castle, and nothing unusual was found.

At the moment, it is placed in Miss Rabbit's treasury, and she plans to make a public appearance at the next banquet, so that all the guests present can admire her heroic appearance.

"How did you know there was something wrong with that bronze statue?" Greta asked.

"Herodotus's style of doing things is like this. He was in charge of the guard team in the Silver Moon Church before. He doesn't like to fight people head-on, and prefers to play tricks."

"You sound like you know Herodotus very well, which makes you even more suspicious. What is your relationship with Herodotus?"

"He once killed my former master, and I worked under him for a period of time after that."

"And now you betrayed him?"

"I choose to turn from darkness to light."

"A traitor is a traitor, there is no excuse." Greta said lightly, "It seems that I have to reconsider whether to believe your words."

"You believe in the Goddess of Life, so it's not like you're working for the Shuangxiu Church. Come on, it's already this time, do we really want to argue about this kind of thing? Or..."

"What do you want to say?"

"As a member of the Life Church, deep down in your heart, you also hope that Ilea will be removed by the members of the Blood Moon Society."

"You'd better be careful what you say." Greta took a deep look at Ruby, "Your little face is very pretty, and you definitely don't want your nose to be bitten off by a mouse in the middle of the night."

Ruby shuddered involuntarily when she heard the words.

Fortunately, Greta didn't threaten her further, "Back to the previous topic, assuming what you said is true, Herodotus likes intrigue, but why did you think it was the bronze statue?"

"Good question, the Blood Moon Society has planned escape routes in advance for the last few attacks, which shows that they have limited manpower, or that there are not many core manpower who can carry out attacks or raids. This is not surprising, because they want to train a qualified It takes a lot of time to hire an assassin, and it's hard to guarantee their loyalty if hired from outside..."

"Speak the key."

"The point is that these assassins are very valuable to Herodotus. He definitely wants to reuse them, but with the current guard strength of Teacup Castle, once an assassin strikes, it is almost impossible to leave the castle alive."

Greta didn't interrupt Ruby this time, but just listened quietly.

"So the only way for the assassin to survive is to leave before the assassination."

"Leave before the assassination?"

"That's right." Ruby said, "I went to the Southwest Tower and asked the guards on duty for the past two days to see which family left halfway, and it turned out that there were only the Welch family and the Frederickson family.

"The Frederickson family had a sudden disease in their territory. The lord Keo sent an advisor and a team of cavalry to Multiscale City to seek help from Silvermoon Church with his own letter.

"As for the Welch family... It is said that because a village was robbed by robbers, the head of the family, Pep, sent a guard back to find out the situation, and the guard happened to ride the second fastest horse in the stable, and it was just this morning. let's go."

"If the assassin is gone, how did the assassination happen?"

"Tricks." Ruby said without hesitation, "As long as certain trigger conditions are met, traps can kill people instead of killers. Herodotus had recruited many craftsmen in the multi-scale city, and more than half of them were brought up in advance. Sent out of town.

"I looked at the gift list this morning, and there is nothing more suitable for Tibetan authorities than that bronze statue."

"Did you deduce that there is something wrong with the Welch family based on these scattered clues?" Greta now looked at the little maid in front of her with admiration.

Ruby nodded, "But it seems that someone has discovered this before me."

"I'm not as smart as you. The reason why I focused on that short fat man was because my mouse told me that he has been very nervous since he stepped into the territory of the Arias family, and he couldn't sleep all night last night. "

"If you want to flatter each other, let's wait until our conjecture is verified. Do you have any way to get close to that bronze statue, such as letting your mouse dig a hole in the ground and steal that thing out quietly."

"This is impossible. The money-grubbing female lord obviously attaches great importance to her treasury. It is the most heavily guarded part of the entire castle. There are no windows, and there is only one door connecting to the outside world. There are four guards standing outside the door all year round. And since I came, she has blocked all the mouse holes on purpose." Greta said with a blank expression.

"Ha... This is indeed quite like Ilea's behavior."

"But it's okay, we can go find the old knight."

"Alfred?"

"Well." Greta said, "Although the old man can't enter the treasure house, didn't you say that the bronze statue will be pulled out for exhibition at the banquet? We can check it first when it is pulled out."

"Will Alfred agree to our request?"

"I don't know. But he knows my identity and knows that I have been entrusted by Merlin to help protect Ilea these days. I have done my duty and issued a warning in advance. If he doesn't listen, then Merlin can't blame me .”

"........."

Ruby didn't know what to say for a while, but fortunately, Alfred was not a stubborn person. After listening to Greta's analysis, he pondered for a while, and the old knight agreed to let the two go to check the bronze statue first.

But this time Greta dispatched her mouse companions, and finally found an imperceptible gap in the left eye of the bronze statue.

"It should be able to open and close here." Ruby stepped forward to look carefully and said, "But how to touch the mechanism?"

Greta's eyes swept across the bronze statue, from top to bottom, and finally landed on the ferocious dragon head at the feet of the female lord.

A little mouse with a broken tail got her order and got into it. It didn't take long for it to come out again, with a creaking sound in its mouth.

"There is indeed a problem here. But it is too troublesome to reach in and trigger it." Greta frowned.

Ruby suddenly thought of something, and told everyone around to get out of the way, then held her breath, and stepped on the faucet.

In the next moment, there was only a click, and the left eye of the bronze statue opened suddenly, and a black crossbow arrow shot out from it.

It flew over the head of the little maid, and nailed to the wall with a whoosh!

Ha, I just took the train home today, the next day will be later
