Chapter 349 Who Killed Eleanor?

"Hmm? This is not the God's Chosen... Oh, Lord God's Chosen, I've been looking for you for a long time. Where did you go just now?"

"Oh, it's okay. There were some chores in the team, so I went to deal with them."

"Oh, that's it... Uh, that, God's Chosen, I still don't quite understand the matter of kidney qi regulation. Can you tell me more about it..."

Originally, I just wanted to hide in the toilet to catch some fish, but I didn't expect to eat a truckload of big melons in a daze, and it took so long to go back and forth.

Fortunately, this is a banquet instead of a battlefield, so it won't be a big deal because he was offline for a while, so Ji Ming quickly regained his social rhythm.

But now is not the time to continue to brush up his reputation. While dealing with various celebrities who want to come over to talk to him and show their familiar faces, he led the chattering circle of friends around him to look for the whereabouts of the archbishop.

It's a pity that although as a succubus, such a place should be her absolute home ground, but Tenis is old and lacks energy. She even feels backache and her whole body seems to fall apart if she stands for a little longer.

Moreover, as an archbishop who was suddenly recalled from the foreign land, whether it is her identity, the attitude of the Holy See, or the various possible reasons behind all this, it is very intriguing. There are naturally countless people who want to get her to talk, and the high-intensity brainwork makes this fatigue worse.

So Ji Ming walked around the banquet and didn't find her. If he hadn't met the old man who led him in again, and asked him carefully, he would have known that Tenis had left the banquet and went back to the room to rest. He thought that the hostile forces were so powerful that even the super-powerful old lady who could suppress the weird army could be assassinated.

But it's good, so that he doesn't have to find an excuse to talk to her alone...

So Ji Ming came to Tenis's residence under the guidance of the old housekeeper, and knocked on the door gently after politely driving away the outsiders.

But in the cold of the night, the knocking sound went far away, but there was no movement in the room, as quiet as if no one was there.

Until five seconds later, a voice suddenly came from a place just one door away from Ji Ming.

"Who is it?"

Damn, why is it like a ghost!!!

Startled, Ji Ming lowered his voice.

"It's me."

The archbishop was obviously very unhappy to be disturbed, but he didn't enjoy it like the old lady, just cold voice.

"Ji Ming, it's late now, the elderly need to rest, is there anything important that you come to me for?"

Important?

If I hadn't been able to hold back and let it slip, the whole banquet would have exploded on the spot, you know?

So this matter is serious, no matter how cautious it is, it is not too much, still feeling uneasy Ji Ming did not explain it directly, but started a riddle.

"Bishop, there's something urgent, it's about Eleanor, I just..."

The next moment, the door was suddenly opened.

"You! What happened between you and her!?"

Just as Ji Ming was about to speak, he found a pale face with disheveled hair and strange purple light in his eyes sticking out from the crack of the door.

! ! !

He immediately widened his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that his heart was really strong after exercise, he would have almost hit it with a full-power [Saint's Judgment]. No matter what kind of weirdness you are, I will steam you first!

When Tenis saw Ji Ming's reaction, he suddenly remembered that it seemed inappropriate for him to see people now, and he quickly closed the door with a bang, and the sound gradually faded away.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute..."

This time, Ji Ming waited for five minutes before the door was opened again, and this time, he finally saw the archbishop who had restored his classic skin.

As for what happened just now...

Maybe it was just a little skin care session for the elderly after a hard day's work, and the two of them forgot about it at the same time.

After pouring two cups of scented tea, Tenis sat opposite Ji Ming, took a breath and was about to speak, but then frowned and exhaled.

"...Um, what were we talking about just now?"

...

"Well, things are more complicated, you have to be mentally prepared first."

Tenis laughed, showing his calmness after being weathered.

"Child, I'm so old, an old man with half of his body buried in the ground, what haven't I seen? Just tell me, don't worry, my agreement with Blois is still there, I will help you."

Okay, okay, worthy of being the archbishop, it is indeed more pleasant to hear than the old lady!

Ji Ming first used the eye magic to mentally encrypt this area, preventing possible external exploration from the root, and then said quickly.

"Eleanor and I were chatting in the men's restroom, and I accidentally saw the third son of the Jueqiao family, Clo, kissing the grain merchant Winster!"

? ? ?

Tenis: Damn, I've never seen this before.

She couldn't even find the key point of this sentence for a while, and the black man asked a question for a long time before he said it.

"Why...why did you chat with Eleanor in the men's restroom?"

Ji Ming almost compiled the questions she might ask into a book in his mind, and wrote down the reference answers to answer them perfectly, but he never expected it to be from this angle!

Stunned.

"Is this...is this important?"

Reason told Tenis that the latter sentence must be more important, but he still said it subconsciously.

"Isn't this important!?"

Then he sighed softly.

"Ji Ming, you must know about Eleanor, right? Yes, I was also a part of it back then. I am alive, so I have to be responsible for my old friend."

Ji Ming secretly curled his lips, hum, and said that he would not be in a hurry...

"Okay, actually the answer is very simple. Since you will feel tired, so will Eleanor and I. It's just that we didn't expect that when we chose Urination Escape at the same time, we also got into the same toilet. That's all. "

But Ji Ming knew that he had weird luck, and everything was for the best...well, at least everything was the most outrageous arrangement, so he didn't think such a coincidence was weird.

So Tenis couldn't help but shook his head after hearing this outrageous statement, with an expression that said I believe you, but he didn't continue to dwell on the matter and brought the topic back on track.

"Um, kiss? Is that literal or..."

After looking at Ji Ming's gesture, he understood it instantly like a genius.

"...Oh, that is indeed a big deal...you didn't tell anyone else, right?"

"Ha, if this matter is exposed, the impact will be too great. I don't think my small body can handle this, so of course I don't. I came to discuss it with you as soon as possible."

"Well done! I have to say that you still make me feel at ease when it comes to things like this."

With an unabashed compliment, Tenis took a sip of tea and fell into thought.

One is a noble heir with good strength and a good mind, and is likely to become the 19th Duke Jueqiao in the future.

One is very influential and often sells grain in the Deep Forest, Glow, and Wilderness. According to church information, it is very likely that he is a large multinational grain merchant sitting here in the Deep Forest.

It is definitely not a good signal for these two to get together. It is most likely a conspiracy against Duke Jueqiao, and even the entire Jueqiaoguan area.

Although now outside the customs, the church already has a reliable ally called the Holy See of Souls, and the scattered Sunshine City has gradually restored normal civilized order with the efforts of the church and the community.

But the wolf tribe on the other side of the forest is ready to move, and there is also an equally ambitious evil god as an ally. With their current intentions and attitude, I am afraid that sooner or later they will go north to continue to expand their territory and followers.

In this context, the importance of Jueqiao Pass as the southern gateway of the kingdom is self-evident. To forge iron, you need to be strong. If something goes wrong here, the southern nobles, who are completely unable to hold up the wall with mud, will have no way to resist foreign invasion. Possibly, the entire southern region will quickly decay.

If... no, the people from the Deep Forest will definitely take the opportunity to get involved! Let the bandit soldiers go down the mountain to cause chaos, cooperate with the wolf soldiers inside and outside, and go further into the glory...

As an old man who fled to this land five hundred years ago and watched the rise and fall of the entire kingdom, and who was personally killed twenty years ago, Tenis, who is a bright know-it-all, can only deduce one ending.

——Glow Pills, everyone wash your hands quickly and prepare to welcome Master Wang with the fullest spirit.

So what is Duke Jueqiao’s attitude?

Does he know about this?

How far has the Deep Forester's infiltration progressed?

The situation was urgent, and the answers to these questions were each more important than the last, but for a while, Tennis couldn't think of even a proper solution, or even a reliable idea.

Unknowingly, the old man was sweating profusely and became increasingly restless. In order to calm down his thoughts, he could only force himself to think of good things as before as a balance.

…

That’s right! Think about it, nothing can be worse than this!

But as if he could hear his own voice, Ji Ming suddenly said in the next second.

"Also, Archbishop, don't think about it in a hurry. I have one more thing to tell you. After I finish speaking, you can think of a solution together!"

Tenis felt a bit of an ominous premonition in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm.

"Well, tell me then."

Then she heard the sentence that she seemed to have heard just now.

"This matter is rather complicated. You have to be mentally prepared before I can talk about it."

She was so anxious that she was immediately a little angry at the Riddler's behavior and spoke faster.

"Oh, Ji Ming! I just told you that I have experienced a lot in my life..."

"Eleanor was assassinated."

"……Well!"

Tenis's confident words ended here, and he clutched his chest as if he was ill, almost reciting it in one breath.

After finally regaining his composure, he quickly stood up and rushed out without even having time to catch his breath, so fast that he almost turned into a stream of light.

Until she was about to touch the door handle, there was a sound from behind.

"Ahem!"

Only then did his whole body tremble and stop. He suddenly realized what he was doing and sat back to where he was.

"Sorry, this matter is indeed too important. I...can't really not be anxious..."

"Okay, I understand. Since you can come to me and tell me these things so calmly, it means you have solved the assassination, right?"

"Of course."

Ji Ming told Tenis the entire process from when Eleanor discovered the wound on her body to when he took action to heal it, including some of the truths and possibilities he deduced from it.

After thinking for a moment, the expression on Tenis's face became as calm as water again, and he spoke every word.

"Before this, I didn't dare to say it, but if you add what you said, I can guarantee that it was definitely the people of Shenlin who were behind all this."

After that, Tenis, as an eyewitness, told Ji Ming a secret history.

——Twenty years ago, in addition to the Holy Light Church, there was actually another big sponsor who supported the Iron Legion in secret, that is, the Duke of Jueqiao of the previous generation.

——Even the current one had participated in the battle in his own name!

When she said this, Ji Ming understood that as a living person, Eleanor's existence was meaningless, but as a card on the table, "Eleanor" with a bunch of buffs was simply the biggest trump card.

Especially for the Duke of Jueqiao, who had a thousand connections with the Iron Legion, he was almost full of a series of debuffs such as armor-breaking special attack and defense reduction.

If Eleanor died here, even as an unshakable lone minister in the southern border, Hetman could barely save himself and make Shenlin's attempt to throw dirty water on him fail.

But as an old comrade, he couldn't even protect the orphan of his own legion commander. This was definitely a great pressure for Hetman. If he did it again, he would probably choose to retreat in despair and let the 19th generation take over in advance.

Anyway, their goal was to control Jueqiao Pass. Whether it was to make it completely collapse or to make it their puppet, the effect would be the same!

These were all high-level intelligence that Ji Ming had not been able to obtain so far. The reasoning that had many loopholes seemed to be all connected after Tenis's explanation.

So Tenis even had to thank Ji Ming for meeting Eleanor in the toilet and providing effective medical assistance in time. Otherwise, if she really died like this, she would definitely have no face to live...

I don't know if it's because of real aging, or because she inexplicably started to talk about being old and old these days. Ji Ming suddenly felt that this old succubus, who had a very long shelf life and could still find a popular heroine in a different world work until today, really had some signs of aging on her face.

The old man was listless for a while, then looked up and asked.

"Where is Eleanor now?"

"I left her in the empty reception room and put a ban on the door. At least no one will find her inside tonight. She is temporarily hidden."

"Very good, a wise choice! So you must have some idea for doing this, tell me?"

Ji Ming chuckled.

"I heard that old people like fishing. Have you ever fished, Archbishop?"
