Chapter 125: Use Afterward
Watching Nasura helping Adela leave, the clone that gradually recovered reluctantly stood up. The center of his palm instantly condensed into a ball of light, and he waved and threw it towards the previously frozen body. Immediately turn this piece of ice into a puddle of ordinary water that cannot be mixed with ordinary water. At this moment, the rescue soldiers also rushed over in a hurry. "Ah, what's going on!" When they arrived, these soldiers were frightened by what they saw. Bodies hanging on ice spikes, soldiers frozen into ice pimples, rubble and blood on the ground, and a naked clone standing in front of them.
When the clone saw these soldiers, he immediately waved and said: "I am Baron Sindeep, captain of the Knights of the Aries, Alfred Flamel. I just met an assassin, help me change into a set of clothes." He was calm and composed. The clone said this, and Paladin, who was sitting in the ruins on the other side, also welcomed people who heard the movement.
Contrary to Paladin's expectation, it was clear that the assassination caused a relatively large movement. Not only did Olina, who was hanging in her nightgown, and the sleepy-eyed Archbishop Salil come, but a large number of nobles such as the Marquis of Carmon and the Earl of Torch also rushed to the scene. As soon as he entered this door that could not be called a door, Archbishop Salil, who was the first to bear the brunt, saw Paladin covered in blood. He was immediately frightened and stepped forward quickly. He looked nervously at Paladin's injury and asked: "What on earth is going on?" What's going on? Could it be that you were just hit by twenty fireballs?"
Paladin pushed away Saril, who had a strange look on his face when he found that he was not injured. He looked at the Marquis of Camon who was followed by a group of guards and said very politely: "Dear Marquis of Camon, I met an assassin. Moreover, the opponent is Hasa. Xin's assassin." "What!" Paladin said these words calmly, but a large group of people around him were immediately startled!
But when he saw the blood-stained special dagger on the ground and the two dead guards whose throats were cut off, he naturally believed Paladin's words. Salil, in particular, looked shocked. You know, not long ago due to the turmoil of the Free Masons, the Holy See declared Hashasshin to be a heretical organization. We are sparing no effort to eradicate it. Now these heretic assassins boldly sneaked into the fortress and assassinated the clergy in front of him, the archbishop! It is conceivable that not only will he be condemned by the Holy City, but even His Majesty the Pope will be furious! Because this is simply a slap in the face of his Pope!
On the other hand, the Marquis of Carmon looked at the chaotic wreckage with a surprised expression, and looked at Paladin with a curious tone. His always stern face showed a rare expression at this moment: "Father Paladin, I can't see that you are actually Being able to deal with the Hashashin assassin like this. Not only was he not killed, but he also fought off the assassin." Who knew that Salil and others immediately showed surprise, but Paladin explained very calmly: "It is not my credit at all. And It was my brother, Alfred, who heard the noise and came to my rescue."
"Alf... Baron, has he been here?" As soon as she heard the mention of her beloved, Olina stood up nervously. Fortunately, she was somewhat sensitive and almost spoke her mind. In fact, she was also surprised that not long after her lover became happy with her, he said he went out to use the toilet. As a result, it took half a day to go. Just when he was suspicious, fearing that his lover would regret being with him, he saw the Marquis of Camon rushing towards him with a large group of guards. Unexpectedly, my lover went to save his younger brother.
After hearing Paladin's reply, Marquis Carmon frowned and asked, "What about Lord Sindeep? Where has he gone?" Paladin sighed, appropriately showing worry and said, "After my brother fought off the assassin, I chased him immediately. I don’t know what’s going on now.” “What! Baron, he went after the assassin? How can this be done! Lord Marquis of Camon, please send guards to help the baron quickly, if he has any shortcomings of.."
As soon as she heard that her lover rushed to fight the assassin, Olina became anxious and immediately made a request to the Marquis of Carmon. Just when the Marquis of Camon was about to helplessly stop Olina from going crazy, a soldier ran over out of breath. He knelt on the ground and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty the Marquis! We found Lord Sindup at the north gate of the fortress. ! I heard from the Baron that he encountered an assassin. Dozens of guards present have been killed!"
"What!" At this moment, Marquis Camon turned around with his eyes wide open. Looking at the soldier who was breathing heavily, he said: "Where is Baron Sindeep? If there is no serious problem, please come to the conference hall on the fourth floor to meet him." After hearing the order, the soldier immediately turned over and ran. The Marquis of Camon frowned and said: "Don't tell the Grand Duke about this first. After all, an assassination occurred under the most powerful fortress in the principality. It is really an insult to the country."
Everyone saw Marquis Camon saying this with a serious face and nodded silently. Everyone knew in their hearts that the Marquis Carmont was responsible for the night patrol and guarding of the fortress. If this matter spread, the Grand Duke would know about it. A scolding was inevitable, and would even spread among the nobles, just causing ridicule. As for Olina, she doesn't care about Carmon's face. Her whole heart went to her lover Alfred. He didn't take it seriously and said eagerly to Marquis Camon: "I want to go with you. After all, you are my subordinate!" Camon looked at Olina and nodded reluctantly. This guy is famously tough, even he doesn't want to refuse directly. Otherwise, who knows what trouble might happen.
Seeing Olina, he immediately rushed back to change clothes. Marquis Carmon turned to look at Paladin who was being helped up by Saril and said: "You two should come together. After all, this is a matter related to the Holy See." Carmon said so Marquis de Mont nodded to Paladin very friendly. Then he turned around and left with the guards. Paladin knew in his heart that the Marquis of Carmon was ashamed. After all, the savior who saved his life before was almost assassinated because of his negligence at night. But Paladin is naturally happy with this development. In terms of favors, the more you owe others, the better.
When Salil helped Paladin pass the broken door, the Torch Count on the side also winked at Paladin. It means that you are really good at pretending. Paladin knew that it was obvious to Torch that he was not injured. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, he simply smiled and said: "Your Majesty, let's go and have a look. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises." What responded was the curious smile of Earl Torch. .
Soon after, the lights in the council chamber in the castle were brightly lit. Seven or eight nobles, including the Marquis of Camon, were sitting in the hall in formal attire. In the middle of this huge rectangular table, the Marquis of Camon looked at the black tea filled with fine white jade porcelain on the table in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. But Olina kept playing with her fingers, her slightly frowning brows and her constantly twisting ankles showing how impatient she was at the moment.
Archbishop Salil is quite leisurely. No matter what happens, he only needs to report the matter to the Holy City and let the high-ranking cardinals and His Majesty the Pope handle it. This can be said to be a typical example of a broken jar. The Earl of Torch kept looking at all the nobles present. Obviously, this sudden incident had nothing to do with him, so he began to pay attention to the attitudes of all the nobles, so as to think about what to say and what not to say.
Paladin, on the other hand, just sat quietly. When he saw the door in front of him from another perspective, he suddenly laughed.
