Chapter 1607 Secret Message
On the way back, Phoenix was still dissatisfied with the power of the charged Qigong bombs and kept mumbling next to me.
I can't help but feel ashamed. One charged Qigong bomb can seriously injure a monster like a sand boa, and two can beat it to the point where it loses the courage to fight to its death. Aren't you satisfied?
Does it have to be a Qigong bomb that kills the God of Creation?
But then I thought about it, no wonder the power of the stored energy bombs is increasing day by day. As the saying goes, humility makes people progress. Phoenix has never been satisfied from the beginning. Can he not rack his brains to improve its power?
When she got home, before she could even sit down, Princess Analita, who was lying on the sofa doing nothing, handed over two secret letters.
Opening the unsigned letter above, there were only two sentences written in it: 'Scott left Airui City and sneaked into the surrounding forests, accompanied by twenty-four elite adventurers from the Golden Flame Guild' and 'Underground laboratory' destroyed'.
On the lower right corner of the letter paper, there is a regular-shaped mark drawn, which is Shan Yong's secret signal.
The underground laboratory was destroyed?
There are only two possibilities. First, Scott's plan was discovered and the underground laboratory suffered a devastating blow. In desperation, he could only sneak into the surrounding forests with his confidants and continue to plot the plan.
But there are loopholes in this statement. If Scott's laboratory was deliberately destroyed, the experimental materials and experimental data would definitely fall into the hands of the person who destroyed the laboratory.
There are only three people who are capable enough to destroy the laboratory. One of them is Carter Horton, the current Lord of Airy City and the real person in charge of the power of Airy City. The second is the eldest son of the Carter family, the man who is known as The eldest son of the Carter family, which is known for its cruelty, and the third one are the great nobles of Airui City.
Conflicts between the royal family and the nobility of Zephyr Continent have always existed. However, because the royal family is too powerful and has the protection of the descendants of legendary heroes, it is difficult to subvert the political power.
Although it cannot be overthrown, for thousands of years, the great nobles have tried every means to eclipse the status of the royal family and try every means to shape the royal family into a puppet regime.
But how can the royal family be puppets that can be manipulated at will?
They used various unknown methods and means to restrict the authority of the major nobles, and even secretly sold noble titles, constantly dividing the fiefdoms of the major nobles, making any major noble no longer able to compete with the royal family.
The great nobles are not stupid either. Although their individual influence cannot shake the royal family, they choose to unite to counterattack and tie several, even dozens or hundreds of great nobles together through marriages, alliances, etc.
This formed another power structure in Airui City, an alliance of nobles that could compete with the city lord.
It is said that it is capable of confrontation, but in fact it is only in certain aspects, such as politics, economy, and national foundation.
If Scott's experiment is to create a disgusting monster made of corpses, it must be to the extent that it may shake the country. If it has been discovered, it will definitely be destroyed and expelled.
But in this case, something doesn't make sense again.
Now that we have discovered behavior that shakes the foundation of our country, why not make it public?
As long as it is made public, the status of the Carter family in Airy City will be shaken to a certain extent. The nobles can take advantage of the situation and use the excuse of stabilizing the country to invade various core institutions in Airy City and gain greater rights in one fell swoop.
But Shan Yong's letter did not explain this. It only said that the laboratory was destroyed, so the real participants in destroying the laboratory were probably people without nobles.
In this case, it can only be Carter Holden and the eldest son of the Carter family.
However, with the temper of the eldest son of the Carter family, it is very likely that after discovering the laboratory, he will send many strong men from the Adventurer's Guild to surround the laboratory and determine the impact that the experimental results may have on the Carter family. Bring Scott's body to Carter Horton.
After all, in front of the corpse, the eldest young master will take whatever he says. Even if he fabricates right and wrong out of thin air, it is impossible for the corpse to jump up and argue with him.
Since Scott left Airy City alive, that means the person who destroyed the laboratory was not the eldest son of Airy City.
If it’s not a nobleman or a young master, it can only be Carter Horton.
I had contact with this man once. He was neither impatient nor angry, and he was quite profound.
But the more such a man is, the more patient he is and the more calm he will be in his work.
From this point of view, would he really do such a thing as destroying the laboratory?
And after the contact with him, I can also confirm another thing, that is, he is extremely tolerant to his children. He is so tolerant, I am afraid that even if he finds that Scott is doing something that goes against the national principles, he will not He would be easily expelled from the country.
Thinking about it this way, the possibility of Carter Horton is extremely slim.
Let’s leave the first possibility aside for now.
Regarding the second possibility, Carter Scott destroyed the laboratory himself, took the experimental data, experimental materials, and twenty-four elite adventurers out of Airy City and sneaked into the surrounding forests.
Compared with the previous situation, this possibility is more realistic.
This also tells from the side that Carter Scott led the group to go deep into the surrounding forests several times before - he was looking for a place that could be used for experiments.
The hypothesis that the laboratory was destroyed has been settled here for the time being, but there is another content in the secret letter that interests me quite a bit.
Twenty-four elite adventurers of the Golden Flame Guild.
What a luxurious lineup.
What does it say that Carter Scott was able to find these people to protect him?
Is it Carter Horton's connivance?
Is it the secret assistance of the eldest son of the Carter family?
Or are these people the trump cards that Carter Scott sent to the Golden Flame Guild for training from the very beginning?
If it was Carter Horton's connivance, why could he watch Scott destroy the laboratory and then leave Airey City?
Could it be that he had sensed that someone was going to harm Scott and chose to protect his second son in this way?
Or does he have other plans?
Furthermore, although the current honorary controller of the Golden Flame Guild is the eldest son of the Carter family, with his strength, wouldn’t he know that the Golden Flame Guild suddenly lost twenty-four elite adventurers?
Since you knew it, why didn't you stop it?
Does he think that Scott's trip will better consolidate his position in Airey City?
Or is it that he was also secretly involved, and that among these twenty-four people, there were actually people of his own?
Regarding Carter Scott, my impression is that he has many conspiracies and acts in a mysterious way.
Winning over some small and medium-sized adventurer guilds, entering the tomb of the ancestors of the Carter family, awakening Achilles, instructing Achilles to wipe out the foreign races, and shaping Achilles into a hero of the human race and an enemy of the foreign races.
After using Achilles again, he stopped caring about him. Even when Achilles left Airui City and was connected to Moonlight City by me, he did nothing about it.
I deeply doubt that Achilles was injured when he planned it with the purpose of discarding this useless 'waste'.
