Working Prophet

After a brief conversation with Miss Rabbit, the Chief of Guards hurriedly left the hotel and continued to investigate the assassination case against Edward II.

The female lord didn't know if it was her imagination, but looking at Du Lun's leaving figure, she felt an inexplicable sadness.

But it didn't take long for the girl to turn her attention to other things. On the other side, Li Yu and Ge Lipeng had already picked out all the lead bullets in the corpse one by one.

The next step is to prepare for the summoning ceremony.

Miss Rabbit, Saturday's Servant, has already met several of them. Each of them possesses unique skills and incredible power. In the girl's opinion, the most powerful among them is Watt, who can create sacred weapons.

The holy weapon he created directly allowed Miss Rabbit, an ordinary person with no martial arts skills, to win the championship in the martial arts tournament, as if she had the terrifying power to distort reality.

As for the new servant, the female lord is naturally full of expectations.

And according to the information revealed by Li Yu, the one who came this time was a warrior-type heroic spirit.

This is also in line with ordinary people's traditional understanding of heroic spirits.

The girl came close to Li Yu, rubbed her hands and asked curiously, "Which general is here this time? Which famous battle has he participated in, and what great achievements have he made?"

"Well, the person who came this time was originally named Zhu Zhigang. He went to Tagou Martial Arts School, Qingcheng Mountain, Shunde to learn Wing Chun, and Chenjiagou. He seems to have been there too..."

"Wow, what a life of military service," Miss Rabbit said in awe, "Then where was his last battle?"

"Pauli Xinyu." Li Yu said, "He has been in Poly Xinyu ever since."

"Why, is the fighting there fierce?"

"Not really, but someone has to keep an eye on it."

"Guarding the border," the girl understood instantly, "This is really hard work for General Zhu. I think the people there must be very grateful to General Zhu."

"Well, probably..."

Li Yu then took the initiative to change the topic, "What did Captain Du Lun talk about when he met you just now?"

"Nothing, he just asked me if I found anyone suspicious this morning, and what His Majesty said to me before he died."

"Did Edward II speak to you before he died?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows.

"No, although his mouth was moving I didn't hear anything, and I think he was probably just calling the Cornelia priest to save his life. What, is there any problem with this?"

Ilea didn't take this matter too seriously, but seeing Li Yu's serious expression, she asked again.

"This kind of thing can be big or small, the key depends on what others think." Li Yu said.

"For example, the person who planned the murder behind the scenes may think that Edward II told you the name of the suspect before his death, and therefore want to get rid of you."

"Ah?!" Miss Rabbit was shocked, "But that's obviously not the case. I've already told Captain Duren. Why don't I go to Queen Heloise or one of the royal ministers to clarify things tomorrow?"

"It's useless, because you can't prove it at all. Even if you say so, the other party may not believe it. And...

"And what?"

"And this is not the most troublesome thing. After all, you are now the champion of the tournament, and your reputation is booming. At least on the surface, it will be difficult for anyone who wants to do something to you. But if it involves a battle for the throne, your situation It becomes very subtle.”

"A battle for the throne, is this possible?"

Ilea was puzzled, "The next emperor of the empire has already been decided to be Prince Gars. He will be crowned in two days. Is it possible that there will be any changes? And who will be the emperor and I, a young man from the Western Region?" What does it matter to the lord?”

"There are some things that you can't just stay away from if you want to." Li Yu said, "I hope I'm just overthinking it, but I still recommend that you set off back to the green field as soon as possible."

"But I haven't received my reward yet." The female lord said heartily.

"Forget it about Crab Corner, that place is too far and too hot. But it only takes two days. If I wait two more days, I can get the bonus of 30,000 gold lions."

At this point, Miss Rabbit couldn't help but swallow again. Although she won the competition, she was not dazzled by the victory.

I know very well that Crab Corner is remembered by too many people because of its special political significance and the huge profits it can bring every year.

She couldn't afford to offend the families behind those people. Not only her, but even the emperor Edward II had to find another way.

He first rewarded her with this harbor as the grand prize in the tournament, and then indirectly took possession of the new land through a coquettish operation such as marrying her to his youngest son.

And now that Edward II is gone, of course this matter will come to nothing.

After all, she is a little lord, if she wants blood but no blood, and wants allies but no allies, she should go to bed as soon as possible.

But the land can be forgotten, but the money can't be lost, right? So she has been busy in this competition for so long, and almost died several times, wouldn't it be a waste in the end?

Although he gained a lot of reputation, helped Shuangxiujiao with a lot of advertising, attracted many new believers, and even won a championship title, it makes sense that there were no substantial rewards at all.

Not as good as those ranked eighty or ninety.

Miss Rabbit was a little bit reconciled, but she didn't say anything dead, she scratched her head and said, "That... let me think again, think again."

Li Yu only provided suggestions and did not force Ilea to make a choice. Thirty thousand golden lions was not a small amount, and it would be a pity not to take it.

In addition, someone once said that chaos is a ladder.

Danger often also implies opportunity.

The nobles living in this city may not have heard this famous line, but they obviously understand its meaning.

Shortly after the assassination of Edward II, many families began to become active.

They didn't even have time to grieve for the monarch they had previously loyal to, because the owners of the bone throne have always come and gone, but the power is always eternal.

But at least for now, the position of Garth's heir is still very secure, so the movement in the city is not too big.

Most people are still thinking about how to offer their loyalty to the future new emperor of the empire, hoping to be reused after Gars is crowned.

This night is destined to leave many people sleepless.

Ilea didn't plan to stay in the royal capital for long and would return to the Western Region soon. She didn't care at all about who would be the emperor, so she had no interest in trying to please Garth like the others.

The girl just continued to stay in the hotel and watched Li Yu summon Zhu Zhigang.
