It’s getting harder and harder to be a villain these days

"I have read reports that in order to save the remaining passengers, you and Noel fought off the assassins..."

Vickrey didn't say anything. He didn't know what report Yula read, but it seemed that things didn't develop to the worst...

"I plan to go to the site to take a look, but before I go, I just want to ask one question..."

At this time, the train arrived from the opposite side.

"Has Noel fulfilled her responsibilities as a knight?"

"..."

The sound of the train stopping on the tracks was loud, but the atmosphere between the two was dead silent.

Vickrey looked at Yura's expectant eyes and hesitated for a while.

"...Although he is an emotional guy, he is indeed a competent knight."

Maybe he didn’t want to disappoint Yura.

Although the sword wound on his chest was still aching, he still went against his will.

lied.

Yula took a deep breath and then lowered her head.

"Thank you, we have to find Noel's body and let her rest in peace."

Vickery looked at her figure turning away.

Those thin shoulders were unknowingly covered with snowflakes...

How long had she waited for such an answer?

Just as Vickrey was about to leave, one of the many knights following Yura said to him.

"Aren't you going to come with us? After all, Noel sacrificed his life for you..."

At this time, all the knights turned to look at him. They were all Yula's subordinates.

"..."

Noel's crime would have pushed the Frost Star Knights into the abyss.

But when he thought that with Yula's character, he might take responsibility for his subordinates' mistakes and feel guilty, he would bury this fact for Yula...

Even if he was misunderstood, he admitted it.

but...

It is absolutely impossible for him to hypocritically express condolences to the person who wants to kill him!

No matter whether it was Vickrey's previous arrogance or his current self-esteem, such disgusting behavior would never be tolerated.

"No, I have other things to do."

Vickery's voice was cold and full of determination.

After refusing, the knights got on the train together, looking at Vickery through the window with contempt in their eyes.

What do you know...

Vickery gritted his teeth.

With that look, it would be a lie to say he wasn't angry.

At this time, a clear voice called his name.

"Professor Vickery."

It's Olivia.

Her head and shoulders were covered with goose feathers and heavy snow.

"Why didn't you say it?"

Olivia just looked at him.

Vickrey couldn't tell what she was thinking with her golden pupils. This girl who usually spoke calmly and calmly was a little strange today.

"what do you want me to say?"

"..."

Olivia rummaged through her bag without saying a word and took out a book.

It was the book he left at the hotel.

"Ah, I'll do it for the professor..."

Kitty was about to reach out to take it, but was pushed away by Olivia.

Just when Vickery had to pick him up in person...

Olivia suddenly put down the book, lowered her head and ran away.

Behind her, a train passed slowly.

Vickrey looked at the dark carriage and met Yura's eyes, who was sitting by the window.

Soon, his eyes widened.

Yura smiled hard at him.

Although this smile has no strength at all and is very forced...

But Yura remembered.

She remembered that the other party at the banquet wanted her to be happier and smile more...

At this moment, Vickrey's heart was miraculously purified, and the haze in his heart was swept away.

He seemed to understand the reason why his predecessor liked Youla, but this time, this feeling was his own...

"Kitty."

"Yes, Professor."

"Go back and rest, we have work tomorrow."

Vickery and Kitty turned together and left...

a few hours later.

Yura and the Knights took the express train and arrived at the crime scene.

Not far from the fourth stop, the Wolff Mountains are still less than two hours away.

"...During the first attack, Professor Wakely successfully protected the train from the explosion and rescued the remaining survivors with Knight Noel."

The staff dispatched by the Imperial Security Bureau released magic power to simulate the scene at that time.

"In the second attack, the entire train fell off a cliff. The knight Noel seemed to have fallen off the cliff on the way, while the carriage where Vickrey was in was lucky enough to get stuck on a raised stone wall."

"Is that so..."

Yura and the people from the Knights nodded, and the staff also showed the photo copied from Ron.

"But because this place is so remote, there is only one witness, the reporter. By the way, have you read that report?"

"Ah."

Yula hummed flatly. She had seen it several times before coming here, including the photo of Vickrey stopping the train in the air by himself.

"But there are some photos that haven't been made public. You can take a look."

The staff showed a few more pictures, which were the bodies of the assassins who attacked the train.

Chapter 74 The end of the fog

"These are all uniformed by Professor Weekly. He is worthy of being the chief professor of the college. He is an army by himself, haha."

The staff member laughed, but after noticing that the atmosphere in the air was solemn and the knights were staring at him strangely, he immediately said seriously.

"Ahem, overall, both of you are trying to control the situation, but the Noel Knight seems to have been attacked a second time."

"Thank you."

Yura bowed her head politely, then looked around.

The whole world is white, and the snow-capped mountains seem to have no end.

Deputy leader Mark Wen sat on the railway track and sighed alone.

"The child who usually works so hard ended up here. She shouldn't have been allowed to come in the first place..."

Yula didn't hear what he said next.

In the wind and snow, Youla was in a daze.

As a knight, sacrifice is always inevitable, although

Although she will be depressed for a while, she has become accustomed to it.

But this time, her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Noel is a child with nothing, no parents, no wealth, nothing. He picked her up on the street.

She climbed up from the bottom, experienced many hardships and put in a lot of sweat, and finally saw the light, but...

Yula asked the staff.

"Does she have anything that could be a relic?"

"No."

"So who is the attacker..."

"This is too difficult to investigate. No matter what happened on the trip to the Wizards' Council, we should not be held responsible, and there was only one knight as the victim. The higher-ups thought there was no value in investigating..."

The staff shook their heads.

Is it worthless...

Just as Yula nodded bitterly.

"Hi~my good sister~"

A voice suddenly rang out.

Yura was startled and quickly took out her wallet from her pocket. There was a crystal ball in it that she had never seen before.

"You! You! When did you put this bead in!"

"Just in the morning~"

Eleanor chuckled.

"But compared to this, your subordinates were attacked...don't you want to know the reason?"

"...Reason? Do you know?"

"Haha~ I am the queen of the social world. As long as I open my mouth, countless people will check it for me..."

I don’t know why, but Eleanor has unimaginable connections in intelligence, and she can find out almost all information.

Yora has long wondered how her sister did it.

"..."

"Do you need me to tell you the information I found?"

In the imperial capital, people hailed Eilenor as the 'jade-faced beauty', but Yora knew the cruel nature behind this woman.

"If it's an illegal way..."

"Don't worry, absolutely not. Listen to me. First of all, the main messenger behind this attack is most likely the wizard family of the Kangong Kingdom."

"Two family heads of the Kangong Kingdom were killed in the parliament 15 years ago. I think there is a high possibility of revenge."

"And the target of this attack is not against Vickrey. All the families in the empire participating in the parliament are targets. It's just that he happened to happen upon it. Now this rumor has spread in the wizarding world."

“…”

Yola was a little angry. In other words, Noel was affected to death for no reason?

"Yeah, but there's one subtle thing...the businessman who nominated Noel to escort this train was actually Laon..."

"Laon?"
