Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 166 The Perversion Is Like This

Queens, Kings Row, Kingdom House.

In a secret room, the Prime Minister, who has shunned everyone, is spying with Earl Hall.

After listening to Earl Hall's experience, the Prime Minister, Lord Agassid Negan's complexion sank, and he said solemnly:
"Earl Hall, are you sure it's the royal family?"

Aguhid is in his fifties, tall and thin, with thinning hair, but extremely sharp eyes.

Earl Hall asked, "Is there any other possibility?"

Agusid fell silent, as Earl Hall said, he couldn't think of other possibilities.

Earl Hall asked him for help a few days ago to secretly investigate Alfred's transfer order.As a result, Earl Hall was hypnotized when he turned around, and even the Archbishop St. Anthony of the Church of Evernight was alarmed.Even if Earl Hall is lying, it is impossible for Archbishop St. Anthony to act with him, right?

Agushid looked at the slowly setting sun outside the window with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"If this is the case, then what our Majesty the King has planned is definitely far beyond our expectations. Even my brother's death may have something to do with the royal family!"

Earl Hall's expression was shocked. Duke Negan was assassinated only ten days ago.At that time, Agushid had already shifted the blame to the Aurora Society. Well, after all, Aurora had only assassinated Intis, the sensualist a few months ago, so it would not be surprising if he did anything else.

This is enough to fool the public, but also to minimize the impact of this matter.

And if they want war, they can settle old scores later.Put this matter on the table again, and at the same time tell the public that it was the Feysac Empire that ordered Patrick Jason to assassinate Duke Negan.

They can even make up a detailed process for them, showing some evidence of what seems to be the case.After all, in the past hundreds of thousands of years, the northern neighbor of the Loen Kingdom has always played a similar role, and no one would question it. They would only think that things like barbarians are simply normal.

And even the Prime Minister himself was unable to withstand all the pressure to track down the truth of the incident.Because at this point, who is the murderer who assassinated Duke Negan is actually not so important.

He can track down the murderer secretly and avenge Duke Negan, but he cannot make the murderer public.Because this 'murderer' is no longer a specific individual, it must become a candidate that everyone hopes for when necessary.After all, Agushid is now the prime minister, and he has to consider the interests of the country more than the family.

For most people, it doesn't matter who the assassin of Duke Negan is, nor does the truth.But this person, this truth can't be the royal family alone!
Although the relationship between the nobles is harmonious on the surface, they are also full of intrigues behind the scenes. Anyone may buy murder to kill other nobles.Once this kind of thing is not exposed, the deprivation of the title is a routine process, and the nobles who buy murder will also pay the price for it.

But what if the culprit who bought the murder was the royal family?Who can deprive the royal family of the throne?
What's more, even if they guessed that the royal family paid for the assassination of Duke Negan, so what?They have no proof at all!Even if he went to the palace to confront the king face to face, George III could completely deny it, or even beat him up.

It is no exaggeration to say that this kind of suspicion can even destroy the superstructure of the entire Loen Kingdom!
"Your Excellency."

Aguhidnigan stood behind the wide table, propped his hands on the table, looked solemnly at Earl Hall opposite him, and said in a deep voice:
"Perhaps it is necessary for us to reopen the investigation into the assassination of Duke Negan."

Nobles will be deprived of their titles if they kill people, but if the royal family buys murder without paying any price, it will be completely messed up.If the royal family can kill Duke Negan today, can they kill Earl Hall and Prime Minister Agusid tomorrow?

The arrogance of the royal family undoubtedly broke the rules of thousands of years, even if it is just a guess, it is enough to make all the nobles panic!
"no problem."

Earl Hall said without hesitation, "I will mobilize all MPs to support the prime minister's proposal, and the real culprit must be punished!"

In theory, nobles owe their allegiance to the king.

But in fact, no matter which era, no matter which country.

In the matter of fighting against the king, except for the emerging nobles who are eager to please the king to obtain the title, the old nobles will always find common interests!
Earl Hall was hypnotized by the royal family, and he was undoubtedly shocked and angry.But if he were to fight against the royal family alone, he didn't have the strength.That's why he was eager to reveal this matter to Agushid. He just hoped that Agushid would stand up and take the lead in rebelling against the king's atrocities, and pull all the nobles into this resistance chariot!
Restarting the investigation into the assassination of Duke Negan is just the beginning.

Of course, it could also be the end.

What the result will be depends on how the royal family will respond.And, how persistent are they in fighting against the royal family?

Queens, Sodrak Palace.

Wearing a crown, with a firm face and two moustaches, George III sat on the throne, looking at the Earl of the Palace in front of him, and remained silent for a long time.

"Your Majesty, people from the three major churches are waiting for your explanation outside." The Earl of the Palace asked with sweat on his forehead.

"Explanation? Prince Edsac was tempted by the witch, colluded with the cult, and attempted to rebel. This is the explanation! His conspiracy was exposed and he has fled in fear of crime. What explanation do they need?" George III was suddenly furious.

He took a breath and resumed his usual seriousness:

"You tell them that no matter what method they use to get the corresponding title, they can get a seat in the House of Lords, the property restrictions on elections will be relaxed, and invalid constituencies will also be cleared. This is to appease those factory owners and bankers.

"Similarly, the Air Pollution Investigation Committee will give a conclusion immediately, the relevant bill will be passed soon, and the minimum guarantee and working hours regulations will also be presented in the form of law in the near future!
"The Poor Law will be reformed according to their demands...Allow the three major churches to send personnel into the military!"

"Your Majesty" the Earl of the Palace was startled.

Such a concession was simply beyond his imagination, especially the last one.

George III was furious again:
"Just tell them that! Since they want a new order, I'll give them a new order!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Earl of the Palace did not dare to say any more and left the palace.

George III sat there without moving for a long time, like a stone statue.

Watching the Earl of the Palace leave, George III coldly ordered:
"Georgina, no matter what method you use, find Edsaac, he must die!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Grand Duchess in a black evening dress saluted respectfully and exited the hall.

"Edesak."

I don't know how long it took, his expression suddenly softened, and he murmured in a low voice, "Escaping under the surveillance of a Sequence 4, and even killing a Sequence 5 Extraordinary, it is absolutely impossible to rely on that witch alone." Yes. Or, do you have any cards that I don’t even know about? My dear Edsaac, you really gave me a big surprise! But..."

"Why don't you just die obediently?"
-
In a small town on the outskirts of Backlund.

Klein stood in front of the full-length mirror. In the mirror, his black hair was neatly combed diagonally, he had a pair of dark brown eyes, and his face was rather thin and angular.

With gold-rimmed eyes on the bridge of his nose and no beard around his mouth, he looks young and experienced.This is the appearance of Zhou Mingrui, which he modified according to the ethnic characteristics of the Northern Continent, and it is the appearance of vigorous and energetic when he was in college and has not been fattened by society.

Sherlock Moriarty's identity can no longer be used for the time being, but he still needs to go back to Backlund first.For example, he has to get a legal identity, otherwise he can only go to sea as a 'pirate', which will not only restrict his travel, but also hinder the search for mermaids.

And Klein does not lack channels to obtain a set of legal identities, such as Ian in the "Brave" bar, such as Miss Sharon's circle, such as Detective Essinger Stanton.If he is brave enough, he can even ask Ember for an identity related to the 'Church of Evernight', even if he is a nobleman, it is not impossible.After all, Ember's identity was forged by the Church of Evernight, and she was also a nobleman from Winter County.
-
On the outskirts of Queens, Red Rose Manor.

A dozen Extraordinary people belonging to different sects gathered here, trying to find some clues from the 'initiator' of this incident, Edsac's manor.But this manor, which was once extremely luxurious and occupied a huge area, has long been turned into ruins under the devastation of the meteorite rain.

The area that used to be the manor is now only scorched and black, the ground is devastated, and there are huge craters hit by meteorites everywhere, or rolled or compacted soil, and a few people survived the direct impact of the meteorite rain and the subsequent shock waves. 'The ruins of the ruins.With the manor as the center, within a radius of five kilometers, there was not a single intact building, nor was there any living thing.Whether it's people or flowers and trees, everything in sight is a doomsday scene!
"This is not good news."

In the torrential rain, Deacon Ikanser Bernard, wearing a raincoat, sighed softly. They came to investigate, but everyone knew that it was impossible to find any valuable clues in the ruins destroyed by meteorites.

Of course, the Heart of the Machine has the sealed item '2-111', which may be able to restore the scene that happened at that time, and also investigate the whereabouts of Edsaac.But unless it was absolutely necessary, Ikanser really didn't want to use this broken mirror.

While hesitating, Ikanser suddenly heard footsteps.

"Deacon Ikanser."

Dunn Smith, wearing a windbreaker and red gloves, walked up to Ikanser and asked politely, "Do you have any clues?"

Ikanser had a great impression of Dunn's appearance, but he still shook his head, pointed at the ruins in front of him and sighed:

"As you can see, all traces have been destroyed by meteorites, and there is nothing here."

Dunn nodded slightly to express his affirmation, but quickly asked again:
"I heard that the mechanical heart has a mirror?"

"..."

Ikanser's face froze, and he said bitterly, "Yes, I'm going to use it to investigate."

Immediately, he took out a silver mirror from the special pocket inside his clothes.Dunn looked down, looking at the silver mirror with ancient patterns in Ikanser's hand.There is an eye-like decoration on each side of the mirror. They are based on black gemstones, which look deep and charming.

But as its user, Ikanser only felt an incomparable shock.

Ikanser deliberated for a long time, carefully thinking about where to start asking, after all, the answer from this mirror has a price.

After a pause of two seconds, Ikanser took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Dear Arrodes, my question is, what happened here just now?"

The surrounding darkness suddenly became dense, and streaks of water glowed on the surface of the silver mirror.

Soon, a picture appeared in the silver mirror:
Dozens of burning meteorites fell from the sky, swept across the sky at an extremely fast speed, and hit the ground straight, stirring up smoke and shock waves all over the ground, and finally completely destroyed the entire manor connected to the surrounding hills and trees!

Although this question seemed redundant, Ikanser had to ask it. He needed to make sure that there was no influence of extraordinary power, even though the appearance of meteorites was already quite abnormal.

Ikanser was about to ask other people for their opinions, when a few lines of ancient Feysac words suddenly appeared on the silver mirror:

"According to the principle of reciprocity, it is my turn to ask questions."

"If you answer wrong, or lie, you will be punished."

"What color underwear do you like your crush to wear?"

Ikanser blushed and said weakly, "Purple."

"Congratulations, you got it right." New words appeared on the surface of the silver mirror, and the color turned white.

Ikanser thought for two seconds, and then asked, "Dear Arrods, my question is, how did Edsaac escape from the manor?"

A new picture emerged from the silver mirror again:
An extremely tall knight wearing red armor and holding a sword and shield pierced the old butler's body with a sword. In front of him was Prince Edsac with a mad smile.

Ikanser was thoughtful, but before he shared his guess, Arrods asked again:

"In what situation do you like the person you like to wear the underwear you like him to wear?"

Ikanser turned pale, gritted his teeth and said, "On the bed."

"Congratulations, you answered correctly."

Dunn and the others had subtle expressions, but Ikanser Bernard just pulled his hair and changed the subject:

"It seems that he was taken away by this knight wearing red lacquer armor. This should be an Extraordinary secretly cultivated by Prince Edsac. According to visual inspection, he has at least the strength of Sequence 5, but it is not clear which sequence it is for the time being. And the That set of armor and weapons is also very extraordinary, it is likely to be a sealed item."

"should be."

Dunn nodded, and asked kindly, "Deacon Ikanser, do you want me to ask questions next?"

Ikanser's face collapsed, and he said with a wry smile:
"No, no, I'll continue."

Ikanser considered for two seconds, then asked:

"Dear Arrods, my question is, what happened to Sherlock Moriarty here?"

Sherlock was involved in this, a little investigation would tell.

After all, the other party was the informant of Mechanical Heart, and it was necessary for Ikanser to find out what had happened to him—not only to ensure the safety of the informant, but also to ensure that the other party had nothing to do with this matter.If it was related, then Ikanser, who was in contact with him, would also be implicated.

Dun En's complexion changed slightly, but soon became calm again, just silently looking at the silver mirror.

And soon, a picture appeared in the silver mirror:

From Sherlock's entry into the manor, to when he 'ran into' Triss when he left in a carriage, to when he entered the woods, prayed to the unknown existence, and even blew the copper whistle that he carried with him.

He flashed quickly under the meteorite, trying to escape from its enveloping range before the meteorite arrived, struggling to survive.But in the end it was found that all this was in vain and almost died in it.

Watching this scene, Dunn was extremely worried. Fortunately, at a critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared and took Sherlock away.

And the screen is interrupted.

"Mr. Ards?"

Dunn keenly recognized the figure, it was Azik Eggers with bronze skin and vicissitudes of eyes.He is a faculty member of the History Department of Hoy University, which happens to be in Tingen, and Klein happens to be a graduate of Hoy University, and has a very good relationship with Mr. Azik.

Now that Mr. Ards appeared and rescued Klein, was it the same in Tingen before?
Dunn subconsciously guessed:
"Klein's family ring was actually given by Mr. Azik? And he was able to 'return to life' because of Mr. Azik?"

Although it is only a conjecture, the possibility is very high!

Of course, no matter what, as long as Klein is still alive, it is a good thing.

Just as Dun En was about to speak, he saw a line of bloody characters appearing on the silver mirror:
"Would you put the panties of the person you like on your head?"

Ikanser's face turned pale again.
-
Queens, in the luxury villa of Earl Hall's family.

The Countess of Hall and Hibbert were escorted back by the Archbishop St. Anthony, and even the Archbishop St. Anthony strengthened their defenses and sent a small team of Nighthawks for protection.

And when he returned to St. Samuel's Church, Ember, who was on duty in the church instead of him, immediately took Audrey back to the villa.

Earl Hall's family looked at Ember and Audrey who suddenly appeared in astonishment, speechless in surprise.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

Audrey was the first to react, and asked with concern.

"already solved."

Earl Hall finally recovered, with a gentle smile on his face, "Thanks to you this time, my little princess, you saved everyone!"

Audrey showed a little proud look at the right time, which was both a cover-up and a pride from the heart.

"Ash."

Earl Hall came to Ember and said with a serious face, "The Hall family owes you a favor!"

Earl Hall knew very well that Audrey alone would not be able to defeat the mastermind behind the scenes.Even if she finds out the truth, the final outcome is likely to be 'accidental death'.It was with Ember's protection that she was able to find Hibbert and lift his hypnosis.

Ember said modestly:
"It's my job, after all, I'm still Audrey's teacher, right?"

"Correct."

Earl Hall nodded with a smile, and then said, "But I hope to ask you for another favor."

Ember asked, "What's the matter?"

Earl Hall said in a deep voice:
"To protect Audrey, I mean close protection, the kind that never leaves her. No matter what, we must give priority to protecting her safety!"

It is unlikely that the royal family will come to attack him again and hypnotize him, because the Archbishop of St. Anthony will definitely stare at this side.

However, the other party is likely to become angry and attack Audrey, which is also what Earl Hall is worried about.

The Extraordinary of the family is only at Sequence 7 at the highest, and they can't take on the important task of protecting Audrey, and only Ember has this ability!

Ember pondered for two seconds, then nodded slightly:

"it is good."
