Chapter 382 Suspicion in the Palace

"This is within its capabilities, but the black collar has a violent temper. Up to now, it doesn't like people other than me approaching, let alone riding. Your Highness has a noble status. This matter is a bit too dangerous." Xiao En repeatedly Shake your head.

Taking Sophilia to the sky is equivalent to carrying a time bomb. If there is a slight mistake, all the efforts of the leader of the Eternal Night Army in the Byron Alliance will be wiped out. Look at her female guard chief who is about to eat people You will know it with your eyes.

"Too dangerous?" Sophilia laughed loudly, "Your Excellency the baron goes up and down every day, and there is nothing wrong. How can you be in danger when you come to me? Where is the danger? Riding a horse may break your neck. Could it be that I Don’t ride a horse anymore? I might die in battle, so I won’t go on the battlefield? The more you say that, the more interested I am in meeting your giant eagle mount.”

"I'll arrange it when I have time." Sean's words were obviously perfunctory.

The black collar is really not a good temper. Although it is not as bad as the black horse treading fire, there is always a bit of unruly wildness in his bones, and he is smart enough to do things that are beyond Sean's expectations.

"We still have to wait for time, don't we have time now? Let's go down and take a look. I know that guy has been hovering above our heads. Many guards and maids in the palace have seen it and stole it." A war horse of the palace guards." The princess regent was completely aroused.

Sean was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Stealing the horse? Are you sure the giant eagle did it? It shouldn't be. I have never been short of this guy's food. What did he do stealing the horse? When did it happen?"

"What happened the night before yesterday, a palace guard and two maids claimed at the same time that it was a black shadow that fell from the sky and captured the war horse, but the light was not good at the time, and they were not sure about the huge black shadow. Is it Your Excellency's giant eagle, but there should be no other creatures around Valesta that can take the horse to the sky? Or are the three people watching at the same time?"

"What happened the night before yesterday? Why did you tell me now?" Sean frowned and said, "Sorry, my tone was a bit aggressive, I will find out about it as soon as possible."

Sean's fierce reaction made Sophia stunned, and comforted with a smile: "It's just a war horse, it's not a big deal, and I'm not 100% sure yet."

"Stealing the horse from the palace is not a big deal? So what is a big deal? Stealing people from the palace?" Xiao En's face darkened, "Please send someone to take me to see the place where the horse was captured. If it really appears This kind of behavior must be stopped immediately without any indulgence."

A dark cloud flashed in Xiao En's mind. He didn't tell Sophie Liya that the black collar had a previous record of cruelty to animals. Wouldn't it be a repeat offender?

According to the analysis of A Nuo, an expert on falconry at the leader of the Yongye army, the reason why the black collar did what he did in the leader of the Yongye army was not due to his temperament, but with a clear purpose, that is to force the Jingle Golden Eagle out.

Ever since he was captured by the leader of the Eternal Night Army and embarked on the official road to return to the ancient times, the black collar has not shown any extreme acts of cruelty to animals.

Sean was about to forget about this numbness, and now that it happened so suddenly in the palace of the Lancelot royal family, it made people's scalp tingle. Fortunately, Sophie Liya didn't think in other directions, otherwise he would jump into it. Jacob Jiang can't clean it up either.

Let Xiao En do this, and Sophie Liya suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. The opponent's giant eagle mount can steal a war horse from the palace. Doesn't it mean that the opponent can enter and leave the palace at will?

"Come on, let's go and have a look together." Sophie Liya no longer regarded this matter as an insignificant matter, and nodded to her head female guard, "Take us to the place where the war horse was lost."

"plz follow me."

Bi Luo took Sophilia and Sean through the palace for nearly a quarter of an hour, stopped in a small courtyard, pointed to the stables not far away, and said, "The horses here are lost. One."

Sean let out a long sigh of relief after only turning around in the small courtyard. He turned to Sophilia and said, "Regardless of whether the war horse was taken from the air or not, one thing is certain, it will never be The black collar did it."

"How can you prove it, Your Excellency the Baron?" Bi Luo, the chief female guard, asked without waiting for Sophilia to speak.

It is her greatest responsibility to protect the safety of the entire palace, not to mention the loss of a war horse, even if it is a cat or a dog, she has to investigate to the end, but she has no clear evidence in her hand. The war horse was stolen by the giant eagle, otherwise even if there is no order from the regent princess, she will come to the door.

"Later." Sean waved to everyone, "Everyone, leave this courtyard for now."

After everyone withdrew, Sean took out a whistle with a weird shape, and blew it vigorously, making a slender whistle.

"This is?" Sophie Liya showed a searching look.

"It's called an eagle whistle. Although the sound is not loud, it can be heard from a long distance. The black collar can be heard even a few kilometers away." Xiao En explained and put it in his mouth again. Blow hard.

"There are so many strange things in your hands." Sophie Liya couldn't help admiring.

The biggest advantage of mixing with Sean is that you will encounter a little surprise inadvertently.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xiao En said with a humble face, in his heart, there will only be more and more strange things in our hands, more than you can imagine.

After the sixth whistle sounded, there was a crisp eagle cry in the air.

It was faint at first, but it was clear and loud when I heard it again, and when I realized it, it was already close at hand.

Immediately afterwards, a strong wind rushed towards the face, and a shadow was cast from the sky, like a small dark cloud.

"so big!"

"so beautiful."

Everyone present couldn't help sighing.

That small dark cloud was none other than the black collar of Sean's giant eagle mount.

With its full wingspan, its stature is even bigger, far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Recently, although Sean often rides it back and forth between the capital Valesta and the Swamp of Despair, he pays great attention to secrecy, and takes off and lands in a small manor some distance from the capital Valesta. .

The ownership of these small manors has naturally fallen into the hands of the Yong Ye army leader.

The way he made his high-profile appearance in front of the Council of Elders for the first time did not match the low-key style he admired. Sean would not do so unless necessary.

Overlooking and close observation are two completely different things.

After a year of uninterrupted lightning strikes from the Thunder Tower, the transformation of the black collar has been completed in sevens and eighties.

It's just that the transformation has not been completely completed, or this kind of ancient transformation itself cannot fully reach the level of the ancestors, or the blood of the black collar itself is not pure.

Compared with the thundering golden eagle in the soul beast card, there is still a big difference in the black collar.

In terms of body size, the black collar is larger, and its wingspan is more than four meters longer than that of the Jinglei Golden Eagle. However, the color of the wings is not pure, but the surrounding area is golden, and the core position is still snow white. In chaos, one after another of fine electric lights flowed between the gaps in the wings.

This makes it look like its snow-white body is covered with golden patterns, and with the vibration of its wings, it undulates like waves on its body, which is really beautiful.

This strong visual impact is fatal to those visual animals (women?).

Fascinated, he completely forgot the main purpose of calling it.

Fortunately, Xiao En did not forget, pointing to the small courtyard where the horse was lost, and said: "Please look, Your Highness, there are towers on two sides of this courtyard, the main building on one side, and low stables below. Even if the horse is in the center of the courtyard, The black collar swoops down, and it is no problem to catch the horse, but if you want to take it into the air, it is bound to cause varying degrees of damage to the surrounding buildings, but I see that the surrounding buildings, including the stables, are intact, so it can be concluded that this matter is not black. What the collar does."

In fact, there is no need for Sean to analyze and explain.

The first time Sophilia and the others saw the black collar, they knew it wasn't responsible for it.

Because its size is too large, and the location of this courtyard belongs to the old residential area of ​​the royal palace. It has a long history and the layout is also a wartime layout. The structure is compact and there are many towers, which is too narrow for it.

Sophie Liya didn't speak, but turned to look at Bi Luo, the head of the female guard.

Bi Luo immediately bowed and replied, "This matter was my mistake, I will immediately re-investigate this matter thoroughly, and personally interrogate the three witnesses..."

"boom!"

A loud noise interrupted Bi Luo's words.

"Someone jumped off the building."

"Someone committed suicide."

There was a burst of panic and exclamation.

The incident happened suddenly, and there was a distance away, and the three great knights present couldn't react.

He watched helplessly as a woman dressed as a palace maid fell down in front of them like a broken kite. Although the place where she fell was not high, less than seven or eight meters, her head was facing down, and her neck was twisted into a kind of twist on the spot. To an unbelievable degree, there is no possibility of rescue.

"What's going on?" The regent princess could not conceal her anger.

Her own maid actually committed suicide by jumping off the building in front of the guests, which made her lose all face.

The head of the female guard Bi Luo's face became even uglier, and she replied in a low voice: "This is one of the three witnesses to the loss of the horse."

"Witness to witness suicide? Such a coincidence?" the Princess Regent said with a gloomy face, "Find the other two witnesses as soon as possible."

"Of course." The head female guard, Bi Luo, replied, but did not move her heels.

"What are you still doing stupidly? Are you going to wait for them to collect the corpse?" Sophie Liya said angrily.

"But..." In the mind of the head female guard, Sophilia's safety comes first, after all, this kind of abnormal incident just happened.

"I still have to worry about my own safety in my own home? If that's the case, I won't look like you." Sophie Liya became more angry.

"Of order, Your Highness." Bi Luo complied helplessly, and before leaving, kicked Wendy the Black Rose who was leaning against the corner and cheering happily.

"What's the matter? It's time to eat?" Wendy looked around in a daze, staring her big round eyes suddenly and said, "Where is the big eagle, so cute, big eagle, come down and let me pet it. "

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but have black lines on their heads. This guy is confused, and he is not so powerful. How did she follow her just now? After so many years, it is a miracle that he did not get lost.

"Don't make trouble, I have to leave for a while and protect His Highness." Bi Luo warned.

"No problem, I'm here," Wendy assured her confidently, patting her bulging chest.

In view of her previous confused performance, all she got was questioning eyes, but Biluo had no other better choice, so she could only leave it to her.

"Is Your Highness too sensitive?" Sean also felt that this incident was a bit too coincidental, and there was a hint of conspiracy in it.

"Hey, there are not so many coincidences in the world, especially this kind of thing. They swear that they saw a giant eagle suspected of being the Baron stealing the palace horse. Your Excellency just clarified this misunderstanding, and then someone committed suicide on the back. Don't you think Is there a problem?" The princess regent sneered, "I would like to see who actually got into the palace with such a trick."

Sean could only be silent, and there was a chill in his heart.

If someone really tries to sow discord between the Princess Regent and the Yongye Army Commander against this layout, the means will indeed be cruel enough.

After all, the giant eagle mount is just a bird of prey. Even if the princess regent communicates with Xiao En, there is no way to tell the difference. Who knows if the war horse was eaten by the black collar?

If a few more recognizable corpses were sprinkled on the outskirts of Valesta, it would be even more indisputable.

The other party doesn't have to do anything, they just need to sow a seed of doubt. Whenever this kind of situation happens in the future, people can't help but think about the black collar.

At that time, the only way for Sean to win the trust of the princess regent seems to be to bear the pain and kill the black collar of the giant eagle mount with his own hands.

This is tantamount to breaking one's own leg, greatly restricting one's own travel.

This kind of conspiracy theory is just speculation at present, and the conclusion still needs to wait for Biluo's investigation results, and it is more likely to be nothing. After all, the current investigation methods are too backward, and it is not generally difficult to restore the truth of the matter.

"Daying, why don't you come down?"

"May I have your name?"

"You won't be Baron Sean's giant eagle mount?"

"Da Ying, let me sit down too?"

"If you don't come down, I'll go up to find you!"

Wendy, who was woken up by Bi Luo's kick, was full of energy and no longer seemed to be drowsy as usual. However, the reason for this was not the super sense of responsibility to protect Sophie Liya, but the super love for the black collar , instantly transformed into a chatterbox, chattering around a black collar.

It's just that her talking partner, the black collar, didn't even look at her.

"If you don't answer, I'll take it as if you agreed." Wendy's thinking mode can't be judged by common sense either. With a sprint, she ran to the bottom of the tower, and instead of taking the stairs, she followed the protrusion on the wall and climbed like an ape. climb up.

"Wendy, don't mess around."

"Don't mess around with the black collar."

Sophie Liya and Sean screamed at the same time.

"Hey!" Wendy exhaled after climbing to the top, kicked the ground hard, and rose into the air. The force of the kick was so strong that even people under the tower could clearly hear the sound of the stone. the crackling sound.

Wendy, who was in the air, opened her hands, like a young eagle, pounced on the saddle around the neck of the black collar.

Sophilia's order didn't work, but Sean's did.

The black collar was stunned for a moment, but Wendy didn't react immediately, allowing Wendy to land on its back smoothly and climb onto the saddle.

This can poke a hornet's nest.

The black collar that came up with a bad temper didn't even pay much attention to Xiao En's orders.

Chirp!

An angry eagle blew, and the black collar flew into the air with a whirlwind.

While climbing to a high place, he spun wildly, trying to throw Wendy off his back.

It's just that the tailor-made saddle on its back has fully considered the danger in the air.

Once the legs are inserted into the leg loops, even without force, an adult weight can be easily hung upside down.

Not to mention Wendy, who has the strength comparable to that of a champion knight, it shouldn't be too easy to fix her body.

"Fun! Fun! Come again! Come again!"

Not only did the black collar fail to knock Wendy off her back, Wendy laughed excitedly instead.
