You know, Graian was still drinking in his palace last night. Last night, the nobles, including Graian's daughter Yulinsha, all saw Greian laughing heartily. It didn't look like something was wrong at all.
How could he die suddenly?
Fiya's beautiful eyebrows were deeply frowned, and she couldn't help thinking that this was what Irene Slate did. For example, in order to create opportunities for Prince Xia Yin and accelerate Prince Xia Yin's rebellion, she killed Greian.
But I didn't give Eileen Slate the order to assassinate Graian, and Eileen Slate didn't explain this matter in last night's report. Fia didn't think Eileen Slate would hide such an important matter , and I don't think Eileen Slate will make a move to get angry at this point, she is not a reckless person.
It goes without saying that Eileen Slate is no match for Greian at all.
After all, who could kill Graian without anyone noticing?
Graian is the seventh rank, a warrior known for his defensive power. At his level, the perception ability is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people. Even Anastasia can sense that someone is approaching while sleeping, let alone Gray Ann, and once Graian finds out, it will be difficult not to cause disturbances in the royal city.Fia could not think of anyone in the royal capital who could assassinate a person of the seventh rank in a place where there was a "City of Silence".
— except myself.
It's like a well-designed trap...
"Wouldn't it be a natural death?"
Standing behind Fia, Anastasia who also frowned asked.
The second prince was not angry at Anastasia's presumptuousness, he still looked dignified and answered with a heavy tone.
"I don't know, but the reported situation is a homicide. This news has just reached the auditorium. You arrived a little earlier than my lord sister. My lord prime minister and I haven't had time to check the scene."
"We will go now."
"Wait, Your Royal Highness, your going now will only add fuel to the flames! Even Godlei will think of things we can think of! Your going will only make the situation worse, and Godlei and the military department will definitely get angry For you! You should hurry back to the palace to escape, no, go to my place!"
The grey-haired prime minister hurriedly dissuaded Fiya, who had already turned her back. Even those who helped Fiya would immediately think that it was Fiya who did it, not to mention Godley and the military who had conflicts with Fiya. .
As if the words of the prime minister were being fulfilled, the corridor outside the auditorium quickly became noisy, and a group of guards in armor stood in front of them, but it was like an invisible wall pushing them. Although they stretched out their hands to stop them, they still But he could only step back step by step.
Then, holding a sheathed long sword in hand, a menacing Godlei appeared at the door of the auditorium. Together with Godlei, there were several middle-aged men in armor with angry faces, all of them were members of the military department.
Seeing Fia, Godlei's eyes widened almost immediately, his face flushed like an angry bull, and he roared straight towards Fia.
"Dofelia, why are you so vicious! Give back my father's life!"
"Gedlei, Lord Godlei! Please calm down, calm down!"
When Godlei rushed over, Prince Shane walked up to Godlei, trying to hold Godlei, but Godley didn't even look at Prince Shane, and threw Prince Shane's hand away.
However, Prince Xia Yin's actions clearly reminded the other nobles present, especially the prime minister, who gritted his teeth and stood between Fia and Godley. When the other nobles saw the prime minister's statement, they also quickly stood up.
"Gedlei, stop here! This is the auditorium, not a place for you to run wild!"
"My lord prime minister, please step aside, my father devoted himself to the empire and put on the cursed armor in order to save the late emperor, but today the royal family has left behind his father's achievements, and he will not let him go, it is tolerable, what can't be tolerated! Even if I die today, I will seek justice for my father!"
While roaring, Godlei, with red eyes, took a step forward, and the guards around him didn't dare to stop him for a moment. Even the nobles who stood in front of Godlei took a step back timidly under Godlei's aura, for fear that Godlei would be angry. He swung his sword towards himself.
"You're crazy! Your father apologized to His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess and reconciled as early as last night, and His Royal Highness also forgave your father. How could he be against your father again? Something must be wrong!"
"Please calm down, Lord Godley, General Greian was still drinking in my sister's palace last night. At that time, General Greian's body had already returned to normal. This matter has nothing to do with my lord anyway."
"Who else in the entire palace can hurt my father except Dophelia! She must have made a move yesterday and deliberately let my father die this morning, pretending that she didn't do it! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!!! "
Godlei's voice was so loud that it hurt people's ears, even the crystal lamp on the ceiling vibrated, and the entire auditorium was silent. People even slowed their breathing as much as possible, fearing that Godlei would stare at them if they made too much noise.
"Get out of the way."
During the silent moment, Fia waved her hand, ordering the nobles standing in front to step aside, while she walked out of the crowd with Anastasia and confronted Godlei.
"I express regret and anger over your father's death. General Graian's death was not caused by me. If you still have a little brain, take me to see your father. Maybe you can find some clues."
"Return my father's life!"
Godlei had obviously lost his mind, he didn't wait for Fia to finish speaking, he drew out his sharp sword with a bang, and went straight to chop off Fia's head, but at the same time, Anastasia, who was already prepared, took the first step, He blocked Godlei's blow with the mithril sword held obliquely in front of him.
The ear-piercing sound of metal colliding made people subconsciously close their eyes.
Seeing that the person blocking him was Anastasia, Godlei became even more angry. He stared viciously at Anastasia's sinner's brand, his face flushed with anger was full of ferocity.
"Get out of the way! Lowly slave!"
"I am no longer the captain of the Imperial Guard who can be influenced by outsiders, Your Excellency Godlei, Your Highness is the Crown Prince of the Empire, and anyone who swings a sword at His Highness—should be beheaded!"
"Then start with you!"
Anastasia's warning words enraged Godley even more. He tried to force Anastasia back with his hands, but he didn't expect that Anastasia's strength was higher than his, and he even had the courage to fight back.
After Godlei was pushed back, Anastasia kicked Godlei's chest. The capable and heavy kick made Godlei fly upside down like a sandbag, and directly hit the other people following Godlei. Immediately afterwards, Anata Sia chased after Godlei one step at a time, pointing the tip of the sword at Godlei's neck.
——Before that, Anastasia was stopped by other people from the military headquarters.
Although these people didn't carry weapons, they were different from Godlei who was used to being aloof. They were all people who fought frequently and had rich actual combat experience. Even if Anastasia held weapons in her hands, it would be difficult for them to fight three against one.
"So far, calm down, you should know that none of you is my opponent."
A voice that was so cold that it was dead silent sounded, and Fia's angry warning made everyone shiver, and they subconsciously stopped their movements.
Immediately afterwards, another group of people came at the entrance of the auditorium.
It was Yu Linsha, who had long aqua blue hair and was dressed luxuriously, and brought other people from the military department.
"Dophie!"
Seeing that Fia was fine, Yulinsha, who was full of eagerness, was relieved immediately, and then she walked quickly to Fia's side, looking angrily at Godley who was struggling to get up on the ground.
"Gedlei, you're crazy! Come and carry him down soon, you dare to draw your sword in the auditorium, a bunch of idiots!"
Even if Yulinsha mentioned this, Godley, who was erected by the imperial guards, still refused to let go. He shouted as he was dragged away from the auditorium.
"I will not let you go! Dophelia, you must pay the price! You must!!!"
A roar full of strong hatred echoed in the silent auditorium.
Chapter 35 Strange Death
Without Godlei's obstruction, the situation was quickly brought under control under the auspices of Yulinsha.
Although Ulinsa is an unfavored princess, she still has the status of Graian's daughter. In addition, even after becoming a princess, she never slackened in her swordsmanship and occasionally went to the military as a guest. Ulinsa actually has the title of Iron-blooded Princess secretly.
Not long after, Fei Ya and other nobles, including Calci and Prince Xia Yin, came to Graian's residence. Since Graian was found dead in the early morning, the servants in the mansion did not have time to place Graian's body. When Ya arrived, she only saw Graian lying on the bed covered with a white cloth, beside the bed was the black armor Graian had worn all her life.
Apparently, because of Graian's death, the cursed armor was also separated from Graian.
It was clearly daytime, but the room was filled with a dark and heavy atmosphere. The furniture in the room was sparse and simple. At this moment, apart from the maids, there were a few male elves with their heads lowered guarding Graian's bed. Although they did not shed tears, , but anyone can see the grief in their hearts.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, several male elves turned their heads. Their gloomy faces first swept towards Fia, and then stopped on Yulinsha who was the leader. One of the young elves, who looked like a human being around 27 years old, asked .
"Yulinsa, where's Godley?"
"I put him in jail. That guy is crazy and needs to be calm. How is the situation? Have you found traces of magic power?"
After the words fell, Yu Linsha gestured to the nobleman behind him to wait outside the door, and only brought Feiya to the bed.
The young elf shook his head lightly, with helplessness in his expression.
"We can find traces of magic power, but these traces of magic power all belong to Graian, and there are no wounds on Graian's body, and there are no signs of fighting in the room." Speaking of this, the young elf took a deep breath, "And with Graian's Strength, I don't think anyone can touch him without anyone noticing. Although I really don't want to admit it, all the facts show that Greian just died, not the assassination that the servant said at the beginning."
"...Father just sat drinking with us last night, how could he die today? I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it either, but it's the truth. Graianne and I have been close friends for many years. Few people in the palace can surpass me in magic power. I won't lie about this kind of thing unless the other party's magic power is far beyond mine Above, I didn't realize it. To be on the safe side, I can ask Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to find out a little bit."
The words of the young elf made everyone look down at Fia who was beside Yulinsa. Only now did Fiya notice that there was a green crest hanging on the young elf's chest. Fia remembered the meaning of this pattern. It symbolizes that the coat of arms that Liti showed herself before is the crystal gold level, which can enter and leave most areas of the elf tower, while the green coat of arms in front of her represents the high-level elf tower.
There are 97 elf towers in total. Apart from the three main towers at the top, there are twelve high-level elf towers below. This young man is the manager of one of them.
Almost subconsciously, Fia glanced at the young man with the "Wind of Exploration", and the result showed that the young man's strength was at the upper sixth level.
Yulinsha looked at Fia worriedly.
"Dolphy, can you?"
"Let me try."
"Um--"
As soon as Fiya finished speaking, a middle-aged man standing beside Graian's bed made a low voice. Even if the man turned his back to the door, Fia couldn't see the man's expression, but she could hear the man expressing his dissatisfaction.
Judging from the man's clothes, he belongs to the military department.
It's not that Fiya can't understand the thoughts of Graian's cronies. She just had a conflict with Graian yesterday and fought a big battle. As a result, Graian died today. In addition, she showed a strength far beyond Graian's, and Graian's cronies doubted her It couldn't be more reasonable.
Although killing Graian would only cause trouble for himself, it would be too naive and simple to expect everyone to think from their own point of view—you cannot expect everyone to remain calm and rational in tense moments, otherwise the world would not be the same. It will be the current pattern.
In the eyes of these cronies, he was holding grudges against Graian, and felt that Graian had stopped him, so he took revenge.Just like Godlei said before, in this magical world, it is not difficult to delay people's death through curses. What's more terrible is that he just showed the ability to use magic in the "City of Silence". People who surpassed Graian, plus they could use magic in the "City of Silence", facing a relatively weak person who couldn't use magic and was still in a deep sleep, it was reasonable to succeed in the assassination.
If this was not a trap set for herself, Fia would have to wonder if the gods of this world were teasing her. It was hard for her to believe that Graian died a natural death.
Of course, Greian's cronies have the right to doubt him, but it doesn't mean he has to take it without saying a word. No one wants to be a doormat, and there is a limit to his patience.In the auditorium just now, if it wasn't for the consideration that Godlei was Graian's son, Anastasia would have stepped on his head without Anastasia's action.
Like a middle-aged man expressing dissatisfaction with his tone, Fiya responded with a cold snort.
"People who doubt me can ask my servants in the palace. I didn't leave the palace for half a step last night. Use your brains to think about it. What good does this result do for me now?"
"I also don't believe that this incident was done by Dophy. Last night, my father reconciled with Dophy. It is impossible for Dophy to do such a thing."
Rather than speaking to the nobles at the door, Yulinsha's words were more like speaking to the elf who made a dissatisfied voice in her throat.
After a while, it seemed that they had accepted Yulinsha's statement. The leading man shook his head slightly, and all the people guarding Graian's bedside backed away. Although they were emotionally unacceptable, they were rational. It is no good for Fia, even if Fia really wants to be detrimental to Graian, she will not choose to be at this node where everyone will doubt her. Smart people will do things that are hard to detect.
After everyone dispersed, Fia stepped forward and pulled off the white cloth covering Graian's head.
What came into view was Graian's old, unshaven face, serious and upright.
Even though he had been confirmed dead, Grayan with his eyes closed didn't have the slightest breath of death unique to the dead—people who lost their lives behaved completely differently from those who fell asleep, and the dead could often feel the aura of terror and death, while Gray An, however, only seemed to be in a deep sleep, and only the purple-black lips showed that Graian's life had passed away.
As the middle-aged elf said before, there were no scars or bruises on Graian's face and neck. Generally speaking, it should be suspected at this time that it was caused by spiritual magic or poison, but Graian is not like other nobles. They live in Noble Street outside the royal city, but live inside the royal city, protected by the "City of Silence", and no one can use magic.
As for poisons, although there are many colorless and odorless poisons, it is quite difficult for ordinary people to transport poisons into the royal city. After drinking the poison, his strong physical fitness will not let him die directly.
The young elf had checked Graian's body just now, and if he continued to check, it would definitely be fruitless, not to mention that he didn't understand the body structure of male elves, so it would be more appropriate to start with the traces of magic power.
Thinking of this, Fia alternately used "Exploring Wind" and "Magic Vision" to search for magical things and elemental distribution.
"..."
Nothing suspicious was found.
The elements in the room are so thin that it can be said to be non-existent, which is in line with the royal city where the "City of Silence" has been applied. As for the magic power, apart from the part that is emitted unconsciously by the people in the room, there are only Graian's body surface and the body placed on the bed. The armor has an extremely small amount of magic power, but it is normal for magic weapons to have magic power remaining in the short time after leaving the body, not to mention that Graian is with this crimson-level armor all the time.
After that, Fia checked the windows, the bedside and other places where there might be traces of magic power, but there was still nothing. The conclusion was the same as that of the middle-aged elf.
Seeing Fiya standing up, the young elf beside Yulinsha asked.
"How is it? Is the princess's conclusion the same as mine?"
"I didn't find any suspicious traces of magic power either. All the traces in the house were made by Graian himself."
Fiya knew that this result was unsatisfactory, but it was the truth.
The young elf pressed his fist to his lips, frowning and thinking seriously.
"If, I mean, if, if Graian is not dead, the only doubt is this cursed armor. I have investigated this cursed armor before, and I can't find it in the high-level magic weapon records of the empire. As for the information, even Graian himself can't tell its origin, but only knows that it was obtained by chance in the Netherland by the former emperor."
"If you say that the curse of this armor can't be taken off except for putting it on, and that if it is overused, it will take the wearer's life, then it can explain what happened today. Don't you think it's strange that Graian couldn't take off this armor before. , it was because of lack of strength at that time, and now that Graian has reached the seventh rank, but he still has nothing to do with this crimson-gold armor. It's easy to kill Graian, not to mention that it has been several hours since Graian died, but there is still magic power left on the armor, and it is impossible for ordinary magic items to preserve the magic power for such a long time."
Yulinsha raised her eyebrows.
"Nag, what do you mean, father was killed by this armor?"
"I have no proof, it's just my guess, unless any of you can wear it and let time tell."
"My father may not be able to take it off, but he has been wearing it for too long, and he has become accustomed to the existence of the armor and developed feelings. The founding marshal was killed by the armor, which is ridiculous."
"Because the past is trustworthy, when it betrays, it will be defenseless. After all, it is something whose origin is unclear. Just now I checked it again with the "high-level identification technique", even if the "high-level identification technique" ’, and can only draw superficial conclusions, the Crimson Gold rank, amazing defense, and being cursed.”
The words of the magic caster Nag reminded Fia, and Fia also quietly used the "low-level identification technique" enhanced by "super calculation" on the armor placed beside Graian.
"Item Name: Cursed Armor"
"Quality: Crimson Gold Level"
"Durability: always brand new"
"Owner: None"
"Description: A magical armor with amazing defensive performance. It has a curse that cannot be taken off once it is put on. It seems to have other side effects."
Regardless of this subjective description, the content is indeed the same as what Nag said, and there is no difference.
Nag's remarks made a middle-aged elf raise his eyebrows, and there was obvious anger in his tone.
