Chapter 290
Looking at Brandon’s brilliantly sunny smile made Loren very suspicious. Does he really believe in himself? It was only for a while to find no evidence, so pretending to be trust?
But isn’t this the so-called "trust"? The black hair wizard couldn’t help but laugh at himself from the bottom of my heart—for him, or for the honorable "nobleman" of Brandon, another meaning of the word "trust" is that we can't find deception and deception for the time being. The evidence of betrayal is nothing more.
On the contrary, if he patted his shoulder and said with earnest words, "Don't let down my trust", Loren might be even more uncomfortable.
"Okay, now that the problem of the nine-pointed star holy grail has been solved, let us quickly return to the subject!" Brandon smiled and opened the mouth and said: "It's still the sentence just now, Anyway, it’s the Empire Second Prince. There are actually a lot of things I can give, so the crux of the question is...what do you want?"
"I don't quite understand." Loren deliberately pretended to be stupid.
"As far as I know, you have rejected the two great families of Bellini and Corona, so the general rewards are probably not attractive to you." His Royal Highness Second Prince was helpless. He said: "So I plan to change the way, for example...how about being my wizard consultant?"
Huh?
"This is only a temporary title. You don't have to worry that Ruben Fried will trouble you because of it-although he is more likely to trouble me." Brandon still did not forget to laugh at himself. One sentence: "It's just a stopgap measure. At least this identity allows you to return to Imperial Capital Golovin with me, and then I can make arrangements."
The black hair wizard frowned slightly.
"I don't know what you want, but I know what you need, Your Excellency Loren Torino." Brandon smiled triumphantly: "You need an identity with enough weight. Let Lut Infinite and the entire night watchman dare not easily move you, nor dare to hurt the people around you easily."
"If a person like you is capable and powerful does not If you want to be threatened by others, then getting a powerful title is your only choice, and I can give it to you."
"Let me dare to guess." Loren opened the mouth indifferently. and said: "His Royal Highness's promise is not free."
"I said, I want to make an alliance with you." Brandon smiled as it should be by rights: "Eboden and the nine-pointed star wizard tower can only be regarded as the beginning."
"..." Loren was silent.
If you only become the other’s wizard advisor, Loren has no scruples, but the crux of the problem is not here. The crux of the problem lies in...
"His Royal Highness Brandon Desalion , What do you want?"
"Me?" Brandon was shocked, his smile slightly stiff.
"Yes, you said that this is an alliance. Since it is an alliance, we must all get what we need." Loren laughed: "But now you just bid your price, but you still pay Didn’t tell me what I want from me?"
After a while, the surprised Brandon suddenly chuckled:
"Your Excellency Loren Torino...we will definitely be equal Get it right!"
"Since you asked, how about becoming my wizard advisor first?" His Royal Highness asked casually: "It just so happens that I really need someone like you now. Help!"
Just as the two people were looking at each other, a middle age person who looked like an officer walked into the parliament hall, and stopped in front of His Royal Highness with a black face, very stiff. Gave a military salute.
"Let me guess." Looking at the other person's ugly expression, Brandon couldn't help sighed: "Not good news, right?"
"We are here The Hundred Men Squad on a blockade in the south of the city suffered a surprise attack." The officer lowered his head heavily: "Everyone is killed, no one lives!"
Brandon and Loren looked at each other and laughed. "Did the monsters do it?"
"It's not like monsters did it, and there are no signs of bites. The wounds on the deceased's body are more like being torn apart by a sword! "
"And..." The officer paused, and there was a hint of fear in his voice: "It is very likely that they will kill them...
They are all the same weapon!"
The atmosphere suddenly became a bit cold...
The smile gradually faded, and the expressionless Brandon Desalion turned his eyes to the black hair wizard who was aside: " I have to trouble you for a trip, Lord Loren Torino, the wizard consultant!"
"I am happy to help you, Your Royal Highness Brandon."
A meaningful reply, Loren tacitly agrees. slightly nodded.
The transaction is concluded.
……………………………… When Loren arrived at the site of the ruins in the south of the city, it was almost evening.
The patrol soldiers were attacked. Of course, such a big thing was impossible. The commander of Legion immediately blocked the surrounding area and dispatched the surrounding troops to step up the city defense and surveillance of the south city gate.
This is a very reasonable judgment. If the murderer really committed the attack in the south of the city, and ruthless killed a whole Hundred Men Squad, from the officer to the soldier, there was no one to survive. Obviously the other party was accidentally exposed. Whereabouts, and a special identity; then, its purpose is likely to sneak into or leave Eboden, otherwise it is impossible to appear in civilian areas at this time.
The entire empire Legion has only 3,000 trifling people. The martial law city is already stretched out. Naturally, the southern part of the city is in ruins.
The only pity is that since the whereabouts of the other party has not been discovered again until now, no matter what the murderer's purpose is, it is very likely that he has already succeeded or is about to succeed.
Walking into the ruined street, the pensive black hair wizard absentmindedly looked at the corpses on the ground-thanks to His Royal Highness Prince Brandon’s special instructions, except for the first discovery, the whole case The discovery site was not devastated, and even the dead soldiers were not removed.
"What did you see?"
The female elf looked at him a little strangely: "How do I feel that you are always distracted?"
The black hair wizard who coughed twice with an awkward expression took a look at Liya who was following him-the little wizard and two night watchmen were resting in the wizard tower, and Peter Fasha had to stay to look after them, so The "volunteer" female elf came with him.
Loren still remembers that when the officer who brought them over was leaving, he looked towards his meaningful gaze...
Probably because he was thinking too much, right? Probably...
"cough cough cough...First of all, where they fell to the ground." With a light cough, Loren walked to the center of the ruined street and pointed to the corpses of the soldiers on both sides: "From their station In terms of position, the murderer only started to attack when he walked to the center, so I speculated that the other party was probably accidentally discovered."
"Is found?" Liya frowned slightly: "is it Is it possible that is still a great character?"
"This is the second question." black hair wizard slightly nodded: "It can defeat a whole Hundred Men Squad, even in a raid. , The opponent’s skill is probably extraordinary; the weapon used is the Knight long sword that can pierce heavy armor, but there are still many slashing wounds, which is a bit scary."
" The important thing is..." Loren paused, with a serious expression: "They have two people."
"Two people? But the soldiers didn't talk about wounds..."
"All It was caused by the same weapon, yes, but this can only prove that the other party has a Swordsman who uses the sword very difficult to deal with, and it cannot prove the number of people."
The black hair wizard turned around and pressed it. The female elf's shoulder seemed to be deducing what happened at the time. Liya, who was "held in his arms" by him, didn't care about it: "If you guessed correctly, the two people might be in this position at the time-one of them. Responsible for responding to the enemy, the other is standing behind."
"So, the other is a wizard who can use magic, just like you?"
Loren slightly nodded, This is the only thing he is puzzled by.
There are indeed a small amount of void traces in the surrounding ruins, but it is not much like a high-level curse, and is closer to...Asriel's power of Evil God.
But it shouldn’t be... Is there another Evil God lurking in Eboden? But if this is the case, it should have appeared long ago when the Evil God's body was summoned.
"Wait!"
The female elf who spoke suddenly interrupted his thoughts. The black hair wizard looked up and Liya was squatting on a corpse with a solemn expression on her face. Beside: "The wounds on their bodies are all caused by the same person, right?"
"It should be the same weapon to be precise, but it should be the same. Loren frowned slightly: "What's wrong? ? "
"I have seen this kind of skill and the weapon that can cause this kind of wound. Liya slowly turned her head, and stared at him with a heavy expression:
"The guard Knight beside Farnesis was the one who did it! "
