Chapter 163 The Investigation Got Into Trouble

Chapter 164 164. The investigation is in trouble

The tense atmosphere in Wushan Fortress was dispersed with the arrival of Princess Blanche.

As a person who experienced this incident firsthand and a key figure in the protection of Broll and Jesus, her words determine the direction of the whole thing.

As long as she wants, she can hold Wushan Castle responsible and bring huge troubles to Lulans and others;

At the same time, as long as she speaks a word for Wushan Castle, this matter can be easily ended.

In fact, her position has been made clear when she entered the fortress and said the first sentence, this matter has no direct relationship with Wushan Castle.

Not only that, she also praised Wushan Castle's handling speed, and highly praised Ronin's fearlessness in the face of danger.

Although the princess did not pursue it, Lulans still apologized for his poor consideration of the trip, and also expressed his gratitude to Her Royal Highness for her generosity.

A dispute ended in such an atmosphere of communication.

Of course, the investigation needs to be investigated, and this matter cannot be ended so easily. Now it depends on the result of the Toru Knights.

Night.

When night fell, Wushan Castle ushered in a moment of celebration.

In the luxurious hall, the golden murals shone brightly under the light, reflecting a luxurious and solemn atmosphere.

The air was filled with a faint fragrance, which intertwined with the music played by professional pianists and musicians into a gorgeous movement.

The nobles wore various exquisite dresses and shuttled among the crowd. Under the service of those well-dressed waiters, they enjoyed the lively atmosphere brought by the banquet.

The dinner arranged by Wushan Castle for Her Royal Highness the Princess was neither cancelled nor postponed.

Everyone, including the host of this dinner, Princess Blanche, did not show any abnormal behavior, as if the assassination incident experienced during the day had not happened.

Roning did not attend this banquet. According to Lu Lans' instructions, he was lying on the bed at this time, recuperating his spirit while listening to McKen's report.

After the Wushan Castle Knights took over the Colosseum in the afternoon, Toru led people to conduct a detailed interrogation and investigation of all the staff of the Colosseum and the audience who came to watch today.

However, no valuable information was obtained.

First of all, all the assassins in this incident, except for the golden knight who escaped successfully, died.

Even the assassins of the Skull and Bones Society would have the Skull and Bones Society logo on their bodies, but this time Toru did not find any valuable clues from the bodies or clothes of these assassins.

As for the identities of these people, they were registered, but the Colosseum could enter as long as they paid, so it was impossible to expect it to establish a strict real-name system.

"The most important thing is the Mondo who turned into a gladiator."

Roning put forward his own ideas, "Have you started investigating this person?"

McKen nodded, but shook his head.

"According to the records of the Colosseum, this Mondo gladiator appeared in the Wushan City Colosseum a year ago, and has won many games so far. Many viewers have an impression of this gladiator."

Roning raised his eyebrows. The other party was there more than a year ago?

At that time, the predecessor was still alive, and Lu Lan Si had no idea of ​​marriage. It was impossible for the other party to foresee that Princess Blanche would come to the Colosseum in Wushan City.

Roning thought of a possibility.

That is, this Mondo was originally an assassin who was in Wushan City as a gladiator. His purpose here was to wait for the right time to assassinate a certain person, and this person was not Blanche.

However, due to Blanche's sudden visit, the other party's goal was changed.

"How did he join the Colosseum?" Roning asked.

If you can find clues such as introducers, you can also check.

"According to the Colosseum manager, Mondo was a down-and-out knight at the beginning. He heard that as long as he completed a performance in the Colosseum, he would have a good income, so he signed up."

McKen replied: "In order to enter the Colosseum, Mondo bribed the auditor and was willing to give 10% of his income to the other party for free, so he became a gladiator."

This is like a rootless duckweed. No matter how much you check its surface, it is impossible to find the root if there is no bottom.

"Have you investigated the green-skinned trolls?"

Ronin pondered for a while, and then asked: "I heard from Blanche that this kind of green-skinned troll is not common in the Wushan Monster Mountain Range, but more in the Misty Mountains. Has Toru investigated where the green-skinned trolls were transported from?"

Although the distance from Wushan Castle to the Misty Mountains is shorter than the distance to Shanlin Town, it costs a lot to transport a level 3 monster from there.

The Wushan City Colosseum is a commercial behavior after all, and as long as it is a business, it must pursue profits.

Knowing that it will cost a huge price, they still insist on transporting the green-skinned trolls. Is there some other purpose?

McKen was stunned and shook his head and said, "It seems that this has not been investigated."

Ronin hurriedly said: "Then notify Toru and ask him to investigate from this angle to see if there will be any gains."

"Yes, sir!"

McKen obeyed the order and walked out immediately.

Ronin couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows. If this assassination ended and nothing was found, it would be too embarrassing.

No matter how biased Blanche is, Wushanbao must give an explanation anyway.

"Are we going to let the auditor of the Colosseum take the blame in the end?"

When he was worried, an unexpected figure appeared in the room.

When Luo Ning looked up, he saw Lu Lans standing in front of the bed.

"Huh?"

He looked at the door in surprise, wondering why Tom didn't report it.

Tom spread his hands, looking helpless. It wasn't that he didn't want to report it, but Lu Lans signaled him not to move.

"I thought you were asleep."

Lu Lans pulled a chair over and sat down beside the bed. "If you consume too much mental energy, your head will hurt badly. How do you feel now?"

Luo Ning didn't expect the old man to come over to ask about his situation.

"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. I slept for two hours in the afternoon and now I feel well recovered."

Roning smiled and asked, "How was the banquet tonight?"

"It was very grand and lively. Princess Blanche got the reception she deserved."

Lulans tightened the scarf around his neck and sighed faintly, "It's a pity that this banquet is still missing a protagonist."

Roning's heart jumped, "Oh? Who is it?"

Lulans smiled, "Of course it's the brave knight who saved Her Royal Highness and killed two high-level knight assassins with one hand."

At this point, he looked straight into Roning's eyes, "My grandson, Roning Wushan."

Roning smiled awkwardly but politely, "Grandpa, the outside saying is too exaggerated. I didn't kill two people so easily."

"That's not what I said."

Lulans emphasized, "This is what Her Royal Highness, the witness of everything, said."

Roning felt helpless. He only cared about asking the other party to conceal the fact that he was a magician, but he forgot to mention the battle.

"Tell me, kid, what is your current strength?"

"Advanced peak?"

Lu Lan Si shook his head, "It's unlikely."
