If just now it was just a surprise that had nothing to do with me, the rest would be a shock.
"Me? Are you kidding me?"
Before I could respond, there were rapid footsteps outside the residence, and dark magic was already gathering, and powerful spellcasters were making arrangements.
"Damn?"
Now is not the time to think too much. If I am really blocked, those extremely angry guys will not listen to my explanation.
"Damn, I got tricked this time."
Even I want to curse a few words at this time.
Not long after I arrived, Maria was assassinated. Who could kill the most powerful demon sorcerer in the world so easily, and let everyone think it was me who did it...
"Cavans, you kid is cheating on me again?!"
At this time, the first reaction was that I had been tricked again.
Perhaps, I was also targeted by him while I was looking for him. Perhaps, Maria's arrangements were made by him himself.
But now is not the time to explain, and the explanation is not clear at all.
I jumped onto the window sill without hesitation, spread my wings, and flew high.
While I was still climbing, sword energy and magic came towards me, as well as driven flying demons and gargoyles.
Looking down, even in the night, there are countless torches lit, and there are densely packed people underneath them.
The city is already burning, many areas are in chaos, and the eyes of the guards under my feet are filled with the deepest hatred.
Between the dark clouds in the sky, spellcasters and sky knights are constantly coming from a distance.
Since he is an innocent person, he relies on his confidence and waits for the truth to be revealed? In this world, there are also "submit and beat" and "kill first and report later".
Justify? Stop the next step now. If you slow down for half a second, you will be beaten into a pulp.
Those eyes were red with hatred, and it was impossible for them to listen to any explanation. It seemed that Maria was killed in public, and they were already convinced that I was the murderer.
Shaking my head, I climbed up again. At least I was confident that I could escape before being surrounded.
"Damn, I'm afraid this is just the beginning..." ——
This is a land of wind and sand,
The sky full of wind and sand covered our eyes, the wild hurricane brought deadly sandstorms, and everything was shrouded in mist.
This place has crossed the Saffiron Mountains and is a deserted no-man's land. As far as the eye can see, there are only sand dunes.
And with the progress of excavation and coordinate calculation, I am getting closer and closer to the expected destination.
Maria was assassinated two weeks ago.
Coming out of the chaotic fortress city, I walked along the mountainous area without hesitation.
The ability to fly allows me to avoid all the cities of San Antonio. I know that for such a big country, the only way to avoid their spies is to not contact the crowd at all.
It was quite easy along the way. I was used to hunting and camping by myself.
As for an explanation, I have already contacted the Alliance and made it through the diplomatic channels of the Lan Alliance.
In the explanation, it was said that the assassin was not me, but a pretender. As for whether they believe it or not...it depends on their next plan.
In fact, what I'm afraid of is that they believe my explanation and admit that I am not a murderer.
If they don't plan to abandon the civil war and accept Prince Winston's incorporation, I personally will be the best scapegoat. The Lan Alliance is thousands of miles away, and it is impossible to declare war.
In this way, those ministers can also take the opportunity to go down the steps and give an explanation to the common people. They can curse a few harsh words from a distance and not hurt the Lan Alliance in the far north.
At most, they could send some assassins to kill me, and then raise some bounty. Based on my many years of experience in being hunted, there is actually no difference.
Anyway, I have been a public enemy on the mainland, assassinating a head of state or something like that. As long as I don't come to San Antonio in the future, it will be no different from the past. It will just be a new group of pursuers and enemies.
As for the gods at the top, Cavins' performance should not be hidden from them, and I don't have to worry about Ayer misunderstanding it.
If those ministers of Maria believed my explanation, or at least expressed their approval, then we would be in big trouble...
It’s not the behavior of Lanmen and Roland = it’s the assassination of some individuals = who benefits from Maria’s death = the man behind Prince Winston = civil war.
And it is no secret that I have stayed at Prince Winston's place before, and it would be endless trouble to bring this out.
Roland is the murderer = he and Maria have no conflict of interest, there is a mastermind behind it = Prince Winston is the mastermind behind it = civil war.
"No matter how you look at it, the situation is not good..."
I came back from the wind and sand, and the exploration of the ruins has come to an end, and today is also the day when I connect with the intelligence agent of the Lan Alliance.
But when I arrived at the location, I saw no one, only a package buried shallowly in the sand.
When I opened the package, it turned out to be a file box with a self-destructing magical lock, and the key to unlock it was my magical signature.
I entered my magic power and opened the box, only to find a stack of the latest goblin daily papers and some cut text.
"Duke Barrot declared war on Prince Winston. He and his twelve earls formed the Knights of Revenge and vowed to avenge Queen Maria."
At the top of the list is such a shocking title.
And as I continued to scroll, the situation was much worse than I expected.
On that day, Maria was assassinated in person at a reception in the square. The participants included many high-level officials, and there were also many civilian elites and businessmen in the square on the day of the decisive battle not far away.
The assassin was "Roland" who came back after saying goodbye, and with him came a cardinal and two Templars.
It seemed that "Roland" was here to introduce these uninvited "distinguished guests". Of course, Maria would not be rude and meet them directly in the square.
But the assassination happened just when Maria was receiving the diplomatic corps.
It was not only "Roland" who took action, but also the diplomatic corps. Although the two knights were directly torn apart by Maria's last counterattack, and the cardinal was also dismembered by the angry crowd, that "Roland" did run away.
, and ran in the direction of my temporary residence...
The frame-up was successful, and it was later verified that it was indeed an envoy sent by Winston and the Pope. Cardinal Rossiter was also a very famous diplomat, but he was quartered by a group of civilians in the chaos.
The assassin died cleanly, and the only successful escapee was "Roland".
But in fact, I have alibi.
After I returned to my residence, I had dinner in the lobby, played a game of Gwent, and paid a small sum of money. Then I returned to my room with a midnight snack. After that, I had to communicate with customer service.
I bought two roast chickens to feed the cat, which was completely different from the time of "Roland".
I don't believe that no one will find out about such a big suspicion after everyone calms down afterwards.
Not only that, but that Rost was also a ruthless character like a cardinal. He was torn to pieces by an angry mob, which clearly showed that there was something wrong.
However, if the current development is what Duke Barrot, who holds the power, expects to see, he can naturally ignore all doubts.
"The knight who swore revenge for his old master finally defeated the evil conspirators and essentially took control of the country. Finally, under the premise that the bloodline of the old master was cut off, and under the repeated requests of his subordinates, he reluctantly boarded the
Throne, crowned as king... This script is old, but the temptation is real. Sure enough, the chaos has just begun." (To be continued.)
