Late at night, Doranor stood in front of Chris's bed and remained silent.
Reggie stared at Dolanor closely, not daring to blink.
He knew what Dolanor was going to do, he wanted to kill Chris, and no one else in the room except Reggie could stop him.
"Old wizard, there is no use in killing him. That witch came for me." Reggie was not completely sure to convince the old wizard. He had to calm down Doranor first.
"I'm here for you two, but I can only protect you." Dolanor's voice was very low. Everyone in the room was sleeping soundly, and no one was woken up, not even Sandos and Ai
Demon didn't notice anything either.
"Then you shouldn't kill him either."
"I can make a deal with the invisible witch and let her take away a human head," Doranor's tone was serious, he was not joking, "I am friends with the invisible witch, she should be willing to give me a favor, kill
If you let one go, it won’t be a loss for her or me..."
Seeing the old wizard doing arithmetic problems with human lives, Reggie suddenly felt that he looked very cute now.
Wise, calm, vicious, and loyal at all costs, which lord wouldn't like such a retainer? Reggie is definitely a blessing to have him.
"Old wizard, tell me, when was the last time you saw an invisible witch?"
"Thirty years ago."
"Is she the same age as you?"
"She is a little older than me..."
Reggie pulled Dolanor to the wall and said: "Although I didn't see her face clearly, I'm sure she's definitely not older than you. She should be about the same age as me. We are not seeing the same person."
An invisible witch, the invisible witch you know is dead, and the current one should be her successor."
Dolanor fell into silence, Reggie's words stung him.
"Have you ever fallen in love with the invisible man from before?"
Doranor shook his head: "We can't say we are in love, we just spend a long time together."
"Are you fighting for the Hades wizard together?"
"She didn't obey the instructions of the Hades Wizard, and the Hades Wizard had nothing to do with her. Her witchcraft could not be copied by the Hades Wizard. She and I were doing business together, but because I defected to the Hades Wizard, she and I
I parted ways." Doranor looked up at the ceiling with a slight smile on his face. At least this memory was very beautiful to him.
"What you are doing together is... the assassin business?"
Dolanor nodded: "She is very smart and vicious enough. When I first met her, I was still a reckless boy. When I first started doing business, I not only failed to help, but also caused trouble for her.
I got into a lot of trouble and she almost killed me with a knife.
I was very afraid of her at that time and felt that I was useless, but when I received the bounty, she still gave me half of it. From then on, no matter what she got, she would give me half of it."
"So, you love her." Reggie was very sure of his judgment.
"You can't say that..." Dolanor still refused to admit it.
"Have there ever been any..."
"Assassin is a very dangerous profession." It was rare to see embarrassment on Dolanor's face. "It is reasonable to talk to each other occasionally..."
"I'm not talking about talking," Reggie said with a smirk, "I'm talking about that."
Dolanor blushed: "The confiding I am talking about is not in language, in fact, it is..."
Reggie suppressed his laughter and continued to ask viciously, "Is it really just occasional?"
"I definitely won't do that every day."
"That's very frequent, right?"
The two chatted for a long time about the details. Camilla, who was eavesdropping on the side, was red-faced and sweating profusely. She couldn't help but get up and said: "You men are so frivolous."
Dolanor completely relaxed, and Reggie took out the parchment and quill. Now it was time to discuss countermeasures.
"Although my understanding of the invisible witch is not as deep as yours, I am not completely ignorant. I have read many records about the invisible witch in books. If I remember correctly, the invisible witch in the past is the most legendary
Like an assassin."
Doranor nodded and said, "As you said, there are no exceptions."
"It's not without exception," Reggie said, "We may have encountered a little accident before our eyes. This invisible man is definitely not an excellent assassin, otherwise Chris wouldn't be alive today."
Dolanor was stunned, and then looked at the wounds of Chris and Modesa again.
"They used the same weapon, but she didn't like to use poison back then, and the location of this wound..."
"Using the same weapon doesn't mean anything." Reggie took out the awl brought back by Sandos. "This kind of weapon is easy to hide and the use skills are not complicated, but this witch's method is very immature. She didn't get hurt.
Chris's heart wasn't damaged, her lungs weren't damaged, she didn't stab any vital parts."
"Maybe she did it on purpose," Camilla said. "Maybe she wanted to play a long game to catch the big fish?"
"Who do you think is the big fish?" Reggie pointed at himself, "Me?"
Camila nodded: "Maybe he wants to find you through Chris, after all, he is your most beloved man."
"The idea is good, but it doesn't work at all," Reggie said. "After Chris was assassinated, his retainers sent Chris to Shattering Snow City after a fierce debate. In other words, this was a temporary decision.
The decision was not within the scope of the assassin's plan at all. And given Chris's condition, if it weren't for the blessing of the God of Luck, he wouldn't have been able to survive to Shattering Snow City, so this was by no means a premeditation by the other party, but an accident.
.”
Reggie's thinking was very clear. According to Sandos and Edmund's account of the incident, he wrote the entire reasoning process on parchment.
The invisible witch sneaked into Chris's residence and followed the maid who took the belt to Chris' side.
She attacked Chris, but failed to kill him. She wanted to hit him again, but Sandos, who had experienced many battles, was aware of her presence and might even fight back.
In order to deceive others, she hid the dagger in her belt and blamed the incident on the maid. She succeeded. She originally wanted to wait for an opportunity to attack again, but Edmund and Sandos sent Chris to Shattered Snow City.
She followed the carriage all the way, constantly looking for opportunities to strike, but Sandos became more and more vigilant, and the timid witch did not dare to strike, so she followed him all the way to Shattered Snow City.
When they arrived at Shattering Snow City, Chris was heavily protected and the chance to strike was even slimmer. At this time, Reggie suddenly appeared. Reggie's green hair was easy to identify. He gave the witch another hope. Kill Reggie and make up for the mistake.
.
Unfortunately, she encountered Modessa, who was far more powerful than Sandos, and was injured.
"I saw what the invisible witch looked like when she was injured," Reggie said. "Maybe this is the weakness of the invisible witch."
Camilla turned her attention to Doranor: "Didn't you hear, my lord is asking you, does the invisible witch have such a weakness?"
Dolanor shook his head and said: "Although we have been together for more than ten years, she has never been injured. I really didn't know she had such a weakness."
"Didn't you let her bleed..."
"This is so obscene!" Camilla said angrily.
"Let's take this weakness as real," Reggie said. "If we meet Doranor's old lover, we may be helpless. But to deal with a naive assassin, we don't have to hide here. We only need to do three things.
It's just a matter of finding her, hurting her, and then catching her, it's that simple."
