Feratu thought for a long time, but could not think of any way to bypass Hakan II's status as king to investigate him, so he had to let the three Sheriffs go back first and wait until he discussed with his two colleagues
Make a decision after a while.
However, what Feratu didn't expect was that the next meeting between him and Sheriff Caldeum would actually be held under that kind of situation...
Later that day, the other two guardians of Kejistan also returned from outside.
They had just entered the Guardian Hall when they were pulled directly into a secret room by Feratu to discuss secret matters.
"Why are you so anxious about something that you don't even want to drink a sip of water?"
A short-haired female assassin wearing dark yellow leather armor frowned slightly, and looked at Feratu in confusion along with another middle-aged male paladin wearing silver-white metal armor next to her.
The two of them are the other two guardians of Kejistan. Among them, the female assassin is named Liu Na. She is a Xiansai who is very rare on the mainland. What is even rarer is that she is not only a Xiansai, but also a Xiansai.
Not a mage...
"Who said that people in Xiansai must be mages? It seems that we in Xiansai only have mages..." This is a sentence Liu Na often talks about. She seems to be used to other people.
Surprised by her identity.
The other paladin was a native of Kegistan, named Isbon Anka. His family was once a famous family in the Kingdom of Kegistan, but due to the unfaithfulness of his descendants, it slowly declined. According to legend,
By his generation, even the title of nobility had not been inherited by the family, and the name of the Anka family had long been completely turned into sand in the desert.
"It's really urgent, and it's a big deal!" Feratu sat his two companions down, and then with a very serious look on his face, he completely recounted to them the scene that happened during the day.
After hearing what he said, Liu Na and Isbon's first reaction was that the Sheriff of Caldeum was crazy...
"Did I hear you correctly?! The magistrate of Keltim accused the king of Kejistan, his immediate boss's immediate boss... of being a devil in disguise?"
Liu Na looked at Feratu with wide eyes: "Don't tell me that you believe their lies?"
"Haha..." Liu Na's reaction made Feratu smile bitterly: "My reaction at first was exactly the same as yours, I almost thought that guy was a cultist from the True God Cult pretending to be...
.”
"But if you think about what they said carefully, those suspicions don't seem to be unfounded... and the previous attitude of the parliament, as well as the attitude of Mr. Kane and Kegistan... Don't you think this
Is there really something wrong inside?"
Feratu's professional identity is a mage, and his professional rationality allows him to quickly calm down from the initial emotional excitement and immediately analyze the problem calmly.
This is also the biggest reason why Tim and the others were not directly thrown out as deceivers.
Liu Na slowly calmed down under Feratu's reminder. Although she didn't like it when others thought of her hometown Xiansai, the first thing she thought of was a mage, but she never denied that the power of Xiansai flowed in her body.
The blood of thinkers like mages.
Therefore, for a matter that may indeed be doubtful, she prefers to consult her companions for their opinions instead of jumping to conclusions immediately. Therefore, she neither fully believed nor completely rejected what Feratu said, but instead
He turned his head and looked at the holy knight who had been silent.
"Isbon, what do you think?"
"...If it is Beria, the King of Lies, it does have the ability to do everything without leaking..."
Paladin Isbon has always been a taciturn person. He doesn't like to talk loudly, but every time he opens his mouth, he will give his companions a different perspective on the problem.
"The King of Lies..." Liu Na and Feratu were both stunned when they heard Isbon's words.
Indeed, as Isbon said, among the seven devils of hell, the devil who is best at manipulating conspiracies is the King of Lies. It is said that this guy never likes to fight the enemy head-on, but likes to hide in the dark and weave a story.
The huge web of lies and illusions makes the enemy gradually weaken due to internal friction and doubt, and ultimately leads to his own destruction.
Judging from the current overall situation in Kejistan, they have to admit that everything from the beginning to the present looks like a huge conspiracy constructed from countless lies and illusions.
In the second world, the army of the King of Lies rarely appears on the front of the battlefield, and many people even think that this demon king does not care much about the battle situation in the second world.
Therefore, even these battlefield veterans who have participated in countless battles against demons have very limited understanding of this demon king.
But precisely because of this, all this deserves their increased vigilance.
"So what should we do now? Should we report this to the parliament?"
Liu Na felt a deep chill in her heart. If Kejistan, no, it should be said that the recent series of major events in the first world are related to the King of Lies, if Hakan II has really been killed by that
It was really hard for her to imagine what kind of abyss the entire Kingdom of Kejistan would fall into in this huge trap of lies.
"No, not yet, because we lack evidence." Feratu shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face.
If all this is true, then the devil's disguise is so successful that they can't even touch him openly now.
"Yes, there is a lack of evidence...and our current inference also has a huge flaw..."
Liu Na nodded, the expression on her face became more solemn.
"Yes...that assassination..." Feratu sighed and shook his head.
In any case, without absolutely solid evidence, they could not explain why Beria, pretending to be Hakan II, would arrange for his subordinates to carry out such a dangerous assassination.
The three of them had seen his injuries at that time, and it was definitely a real assassination operation without any mercy.
If this is a show... then this show is too in-depth.
Isn't it afraid that if it fails, it will really kill its disguised identity?
Just when Liu Na and Feratu were at a loss as to how to explain this matter, Isbon suddenly said something that shocked them both.
"Unless that assassination was not ordered by it..."
"What? It wasn't ordered by it? Do you mean that someone really intended to assassinate it?"
"This is possible because there was someone else who had been trying to tell the Council that Hakan II was no longer truly human!
And the cause of that assassination was also because of that person in the first place!"
Isbon nodded seriously, a glimmer of light flashing in his brown eyes.
"You mean...that one?" Liu Na looked at him in shock. She felt that her brain was starting to run out of power.
"That's right, it's the one who has now been promoted to a transcendent being."
