The assassination of the Ninth Prince caused huge waves in Tianlan Capital.
King Salo I is still breathing heavily, and may burp at any time. Now that such a commotion has occurred, everyone knows that the battle for the throne will probably cause a bloody storm.
The eldest prince, Victor Salo, was the one who had the highest claim for succession to the throne. Most of the elders in the parliament preferred the eldest son to inherit the throne, so as to prevent Tianlan from declining due to the turmoil in the royal power.
But now that the ninth prince was assassinated, the eldest prince immediately became the biggest suspect. This also caused those powerful officials who were wise to protect themselves to distance themselves from each other and stated that they would not support anyone. After all, killing one's brother to gain power is a taboo, and once they are found out
If he is really involved in the murder, it is absolutely impossible for the eldest prince Victor to get anyone's support.
...
On this day, secret news came out of Parliament.
Inside the Tianlan Royal Naval Academy, the office of Vice President Alwin.
The fourth prince, Joyce Salo, knocked on the door with excitement on his face.
"Teacher! Teacher! Good news...great news!"
Joyce couldn't restrain his excitement and said: "There is definite news from the parliament. Before the cause of Jike's death is found out, no heir to the throne will be elected. I am afraid that the eldest brother's wishful thinking will come to nothing, hahaha...
..”
Elwin's eyes were calm, obviously he had expected it.
He said earnestly: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth and His Highness the Ninth have been assassinated. You'd better not go out casually recently. Even in the academy, it may not be absolutely safe."
Joyce was stunned and said in surprise: "Teacher, you mean, my eldest brother will be harmful to me?"
Elwin shook his head and said: "No, it may not be His Highness. The situation is so chaotic now, anyone could do it. I think it is most likely to be His Highness."
"Wasn't Lucas assassinated before?"
Joyce rolled his eyes in confusion.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly woke up and said: "Oh! You mean... my third brother is a thief and calls him "Catch a thief?"
A gleam of wisdom appeared in Elwin's eyes, and he said meaningfully: "The murderer's method was very strange. The assassination left no clues at all. It looked a bit like some ancient witchcraft. With this method, if they wanted to kill someone,
, the target should definitely not just be injured. There may be something fishy about the injury of His Highness the Third Prince..."
"That's right, why didn't I think of that!"
Joyce felt like he had caught something, and reasoned: "Now that the ninth brother is dead, the eldest brother has become the biggest suspect, and the third brother is a blessing in disguise, and is most likely to get the support of the elders of the parliament..."
After a pause, he asked again: "Teacher, do you think I should make some preparations now?"
"You must be prepared. You can ask your mother's family to put some pressure on the elders of the parliament... But don't make unnecessary moves, let alone get into any assassination-related troubles... As long as the parliament
If you don’t favor Third Highness Lucas, Your Highness, you have a great chance of obtaining the right to inherit..."
When Elwin said this, there was also a hint of confusion in his eyes.
The assassination was planned by him. How could he not know the inside story?
I am afraid that even Ramon Feng would not have thought that the real controller of the famous "Assassin's League" in the game would actually be the vice-president of Tianlan Royal Academy.
But... it was clear that the ninth prince Jike was assassinated by his subordinates and died at the back door of Baylor Manor. Moreover, his subordinates only left after confirming that the target was dead. How could the body die "again" eight blocks away? The original case
Some traces of the discovery site were completely wiped away by some mysterious force, as if it had never happened... All kinds of weirdness might not be obvious to outsiders, but for an insider like him, it was a bit creepy!
Moreover, the Baylor family has made it clear that it will not participate in the fight for the heir. That kind of second-rate business family is not capable and cannot use such weird methods.
He guessed that there might be a more mysterious force lurking in the royal capital.
Originally, after the Ninth Prince was killed, he had a series of plans, but when this happened, Elwin was a little afraid to act rashly.
"Teacher, I understand!"
Joyce nodded, with ecstasy in his eyes, "I will definitely do what you tell me, teacher!"
As a teacher, I really have a lot to offer.
A few days ago, he thought that he had no chance of fighting for the throne. If his teacher hadn't persuaded him, he might have asked his mother to start vigorously working on it and wanted to give it a last try. But he didn't expect that in just a few days, because
With a sudden assassination, the situation suddenly turned extremely favorable to him.
Now the eldest son and the third child, who have the best chance of gaining the right to inherit the throne, are involved in the assassination case. On the contrary, the fourth child, who is not so "positive" about the throne, has a chance.
Joyce also didn't know that his teacher Aylwin had also figured out the thoughts of the elders in the parliament, and now they had more reason to elect a "easy-to-control" King.
...
Raymond stayed in "Gerson's Divination Hut" for nearly half a month. As he kept going back and forth, he gradually became famous among the upper class ladies in Tianlan. He not only helped people with fortune telling, but also kindly
He had daily routines with the wives whose husbands were senior officials in Tianlan. As a result, he gradually became the "women's friend" of these noble ladies, and they no longer avoided him when talking about gossip.
Through this method, Raymond obtained many secrets of Tianlan's upper echelons.
"Huh... It's time to close the net! Today is the fourth divination. That fat woman Vasily should have asked for the news I want..."
Raymond was waiting at the fortune-telling shop early in the morning, because today was the day when Vasily Carlson, the wife of Chief Warden Tianlan, came to fortune-telling.
When she came here for the first time, the fat lady was a little wary when she didn't see the familiar "Liar Gessen". However, after a round of nonsense from Raymond, a professional charlatan, she gradually let down her guard.
Such wives of high-ranking officials must have been trained in anti-psychotic hypnosis. Although they may seem deceitful, they are not stupid. If the purpose seems too impatient, it will definitely arouse suspicion, and in minutes it will make people feel that they have an ulterior purpose.
In the first three "divinations", Raymond laid a lot of groundwork.
He cleverly used some hints in mental spells to let her automatically trigger associations when hearing certain keywords. For example, the seemingly randomly placed cotton mat on the table today was embroidered with a picture of a young girl fetching water.
Painting, this is obviously the "Campbell royal style" painting technique... This mat is the "key" to open today's conversation.
...
Not long after,
The fat lady Vasily arrived as promised.
"Oh~ Madam, you are here."
When Raymond saw the person coming, he frowned. Because this time... this woman didn't come alone. There was a Sequence 5 Transcendent hiding behind her!
"Is it possible that my motives have been discovered?" Raymond thought inwardly. If it weren't for his domineering power, he really wouldn't have been able to discover this Sequence 5 stalker.
At this time, Vasily saw the pattern of cotton mats on the table.
Sure enough, she immediately triggered a suggestive reaction and said proactively: "Oh~ Isn't this a cotton textile in the Campbell style? This kind of thing is rare now... The people in the Campbell royal family used to know art very well.
..”
"Yeah, it took me a lot of effort to find this thing."
The other party took the initiative to bring up the topic of "Campbell Royal Family", and everything went as expected.
According to the planned plan, Raymond should continue the conversation, and then use a little mental suggestion to let her take the initiative to bring the topic to the royal family members, and finally mention the place where Anna is being held, and the motive will not be so abrupt.
.
But now, the plan has changed.
The Sequence 5 sneak was in the room at the moment, and Raymond didn't dare to make any rash move.
If his motives are discovered and this stalker is someone sent by Tianlan to monitor him, then once Raymond opens his mouth, he may get into big trouble.
That kind of roundabout psychological suggestion, Vasily, the fat lady, has been fully prepared and will not notice it. But the people listening can guess Raymond's purpose at once.
"That's not right... I'm so careful, how could I be discovered?" Raymond dealt with it calmly, but he was thinking quickly in his mind and muttered: "Besides, even if I'm discovered, it won't be possible.
There’s no need to just get a top-level Sequence 5 stalker, right?”
This configuration is a bit like cannon hitting mosquitoes, obviously impossible!
"Oh~ Madam, you look very good. You must have won a lot in the card game last night..."
"Oh~ Thanks to your advice, I won hundreds of thousands..."
"..."
Raymond's face remained unchanged as he casually talked about his home affairs.
The stalker who followed him into the house didn't make any movement at all. He was quietly hiding in the corner, his aura becoming calmer and calmer. He was like a cheetah hiding behind the woods, always ready to violently kill its prey.
"That guy is not hostile to me, and his energy is not locked on me. It seems that he is not targeting me..."
Raymond frowned slightly when he thought of this. But he still didn't dare to be careless and bring the topic to Anna's head.
At this moment, he felt extremely aggrieved.
Seeing that after so many days of casting the net, the results will be harvested today, why is there a Sequence 5 bodyguard behind this fat woman today?
Sequence 5 extraordinary beings are the top combat power of the Tianlan royal family. Even if this fat lady is the wife of the warden, she definitely should not receive such super-standard treatment.
The more Raymond thought about it, the more doubtful he became.
However, he soon knew why!
Because at this time, he felt a familiar energy approaching the divination shop.
"Another Sequence 5 transcendent, and a Sequence 6. Hey... that Sequence 6 guy, seems to be the Golden Teeth Liaison Officer Yoselin I rescued before?"
Lei Meng looked a little strange, why did this woman come to Tianlan King's capital?
What surprised him even more was that the two qi rays were obviously coming in the direction of his fortune-telling shop!
Raymond glanced at the fat lady Vasily in the room, and was stunned for a moment, then realized: "No...it's not the people with golden teeth who are planning to kidnap Madam Vasily, right?"
Obviously, I was afraid that he would guess it.
"Did those people take the wrong medicine and prepare to kidnap hostages in Tianlan King's capital?! After being a pirate for a long time, you have developed this bad habit. Do you think everything can be solved with rough means?"
This crazy plan to kidnap the wife of the chief warden of Tianlan from the inner city of the third ring of Tianlan King's capital... is simply audacious!
Raymond's thoughts changed in his mind, and he thought about the Sequence 5 stalker in this room, and he immediately understood.
This stalker is from the Tianlan Military Intelligence Department. He discovered the plan in advance and is waiting for Jinya's people to fall into his trap!
"..."
Raymond felt like a beeping dog.
Now that the Golden Teeth Pirates have been destroyed and all the masters are wiped out, who else can the Sequence 5 transcendent outside the door be but "Gold Teeth" Gulev himself?
You can guess with your toes that Jin Ya kidnapped the fat lady for the same purpose as himself, and wanted to dig out clues about Anna's imprisonment from this woman's mouth.
"I'm so convinced... Seeing that labor and management are about to succeed, why are you here?!"
Raymond could no longer complain.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the man and woman in disguise walking into the fortune telling shop.
A person's appearance can change, but his Qi cannot.
How could Raymond not know that the woman disguised as a businessman in front of him was Jinya [liaison officer] Yoselin?
The burly man next to her is not the famous "Golden Tooth" Gulev, so who is it?
