Gladstone picked up the guard's sword and rushed towards Leah's attic not far away, "Leah, are you okay?"
After kicking the door open and checking around to make sure there was no danger, Gladstone stopped by Leah's bed and woke her up.
"Uncle, what happened? Why are you covered in blood?" Leah was awakened by the noise. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and saw Gladstone holding a blood-stained sword. She suddenly felt sad.
Suspicion.
"The Frost Witch killed the guards and escaped. I was afraid that she would hurt you, so I came here in a hurry."
Gladstone put down the sword in his hand and picked up Leah from the bed. "In order to ensure your safety, you will temporarily live in my attic from tonight. It is the most heavily guarded place in Petersburg.
The most elite guards in the city."
"Lord Gladstone, the Frost Witch is seriously injured at the moment. She can't run too far. I suggest you seal the city gate and check door to door." Chen Feng suggested.
But Gladstone didn't seem to want to accept Chen Feng's suggestion. He just wanted Liya to be considerate, and was unwilling to spend time and energy dealing with the hot potato of the Frost Witch.
"Except for you, no one in the city is the opponent of the Frost Witch. Even if she is found, it will be difficult to subdue her. It is better to open the city gate and let her leave."
In addition to being the chief witch of the Pants Industry clan, Greenland is also the goddaughter of the Tatar leader of the Orc clan. If she stays in Petersburg, she will eventually become an unmanageable scourge, affecting hundreds of thousands of civilians in Petersburg.
If you can't kill her secretly, then don't offend her.
Furthermore, even if all the elite knights under his command are dispatched, it will still be very difficult to search the entire city, and it may cause unnecessary panic.
"Okay, I didn't think carefully enough just now." Chen Feng took back his previous suggestion and returned to the attic where Leah temporarily lived.
Even he was not completely sure that he could defeat the injured Greenland.
"Chen Feng, what's the situation outside?" Liya straightened up and walked over to ask Chen Feng.
All the twists and turns were all caused by her.
"The Lord of Gladstone City plans to let the Frost Witch go, and then seal the city after she leaves Petersburg."
Chen Feng took out a pistol from the card, loaded two bullets, and handed it to Leah, "I'm worried that the Frost Witch will do the opposite. She may not escape from the city, but take advantage of the chaos to fight back.
City Lord's Mansion, this gun was a gift I gave you originally, and now it is for you to use for self-defense. If the gun sounds, I will appear."
"Well, I'll be careful, don't worry too much." Leah took the gun and carefully placed it next to the pillow.
Since the intentions of the Frost Witch were still unclear, Chen Feng simply slept on the floor in the attic, with only a few screens separated from Leah.
Although the entire Petersburg was heavily guarded, with four to five hundred knights guarding the attic, except for Chen Feng, those personal guards practicing martial arts and fitness might not necessarily be able to stop the witches who were practicing magic.
"Liya, are you asleep?" Chen Feng couldn't sleep, trying to find out the clues from Liya.
"Not yet?" Leah responded.
"When things have developed to this point, it is already obvious that Queen Dale colluded with the trousers industry and wanted to kill you, so the Frost Witch kidnapped you and hindered the coming of age ceremony. Only in this way, the second
Only Prince Peleg can become the legal heir to the throne." Chen Feng analyzed calmly.
Principal Mani once said that, except for members of the royal family, strangers who want to sneak into the Monti Palace must first pass various checks.
There are two of them, one is a full naked body search and the other is a magic detection gate. No matter which of these two items it is, Greenland cannot pass it normally.
There are many words "prison" branded on her back, which is a symbol of the exile of felons. Their status is lower than that of slaves. They are not qualified to set foot in Monti Palace. Once inspected, they will be selected and executed on the spot.
Secondly, her body contains abundant elemental power, and it is impossible for the mid-level magicians guarding the detection door not to notice any abnormalities.
Therefore, if Greenlan wants to sneak into Monty Palace, he must take a royal car, and he must be a direct royal family member of the same lineage as the king. He can freely enter and leave the palace without any interrogation.
"It's impossible. Although my mother is stricter, she won't harm me. There must be someone else behind this matter."
Liya shook her little head and denied Chen Feng's conjecture.
Having lived with Queen Dale under the same roof for sixteen years, I know her temperament and preferences well. Although she is harsh, she is still kind-hearted.
Moreover, Queen Dell is a very devout supporter of theocratic rights and is usually cautious in her words and deeds. The coming-of-age ceremony for the successor is a ceremony held in the sacred temple, so it is absolutely impossible for her to do anything that violates theocratic rights.
"Who is that? Who else in Monty's palace wants to harm you? Other princes or princesses?"
Chen Feng can completely understand what Liya said.
As long as the residents of this magical continent swear an oath to the Pope, no matter how false it is, it will be deemed true and valid. They have divine authority in their hearts, so they will not do anything to offend the sacred church.
"According to the laws of the Monty Kingdom, other princes and princesses are not qualified to be heirs because they are not the direct bloodline of the queen." Leah once again denied Chen Feng's speculation.
"Then this matter is strange. We need to return to the palace to investigate slowly."
Chen Feng tried to figure out the relationship, but it was too complicated and he couldn't find the mastermind behind it.
According to Leah's words, she missed the coming-of-age ceremony, and the princes and princesses born to other princesses will not get any benefits. There is no need to take risks and collude with the orcs.
Only the second prince, Peleg, was of the orthodox bloodline born to Queen Dale, and was born only half a month later than Leah. He was the most qualified to succeed to the throne in Leah's place. If Leah disappeared, he would be the most advantageous.
Moreover, the hiding place of the Frost Witch at that time was the bottom of the Dragon Fish Lake in the backyard of Del's palace.
"Wait a minute, if it's not Queen Dale, it can only be the second prince Peleg. This bastard, if I had known, I would have shot him in the head."
As someone who has watched 800 episodes of Conan with my partner in the real world, these are very simple reasonings, and it is easy to see through the hidden mysteries.
"Are you saying that Faler wants to kill me? He has been a brother and sister for more than ten years." Leah frowned.
"Perhaps, he doesn't want to kill you, but just wants to imprison you and release you after the coming-of-age ceremony is over. The royal guards dare not offend Her Royal Highness, so they can only ask the Pants Industry Clan for help and promise all kinds of things.
benefit."
Chen Feng couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he thought of this.
If it is true that Farrar is colluding with the Pants family, then he is very likely to become a new puppet supported by the Tatar leader and disintegrate the royal power of the Monti Kingdom from within.
