"According to statistics, four people were seriously injured and six guards died." Fumi opened the notepad in his hand. "The number of people is indeed small, but the Holy Palace has not experienced such losses for a long time."
"So if a legendary mage really wants to go on a killing spree, will only six people in the Holy Palace die?" Lasein said again, "You just said that the other party used two lamp posts to blast open the west wall of the main building protected by the Mystery Lock. , if two more lampposts were thrown over, the consequences would probably be completely different."
Fumi's heart moved, "You mean, the attackers are deliberately reducing the casualties on the Holy Palace side?"
He found that his cousin's statement was not unreasonable.
Judging from the damage caused by the subsequent investigation, a lamp post can easily penetrate any unprotected house in the villa. If the other party deliberately kills people and lowers the angle of incidence, a penetrating shot from the second to the third floor is enough to cause several times the damage. This killing.
"I guess that person was just trying to save his accomplices - he didn't want to cause too much trouble." La Sein affirmed, "But the group of people who attacked the church didn't have such concerns. They killed everyone except the Holy Son. Everyone outside, including coachmen and nuns who have no ability to resist. And how can a guy who even dares to provoke the Church of Hera worry about whether he will antagonize the Holy Palace? "
This is really surprising.
After working as a defense officer for several years, my cousin seems to have made a lot of progress.
Fumi pondered for a moment, "It makes sense for you to think so. If they really exercise restraint, the threat to Azure Castle will be much reduced."
"If they are not the same group of people, then your most important task at present is to assist the church in solving the Son of the Holy Spirit incident." The Earl said decisively, "The trial team has made the maritime merchants furious. I heard that they even want to All the suspects will be imprisoned and interrogated together, you must never let things get to this point!"
After all, it is related to the territory's tax revenue for a year.
"Yes." Fumi responded, "What about the legendary mage and his group?"
"Of course I have to investigate. I at least want to know who the other party is and what the purpose of coming to Azure Castle is." The count knocked on the table and said, "The Holy Palace will never let it go. They definitely need an explanation."
"I understand." Fumi turned to Lassein and explained, "Check the recent entry records to see if any strange people have entered Azure Castle."
Lassein was slightly startled, "What, you want me to check?"
"Most of the legendary mages have a high status. Even if they hide their identities, they usually appear as upper-class people. It is too shocking for them to play beggars and refugees. Since they are people with names, they will follow the rules and register to enter the city. With an extraordinary status, his speech should be different from ordinary people. Go back and think about it carefully, have you dealt with such a person recently..." At this point, Fumi paused for a moment, "Hey, are you okay?"
He noticed that his cousin's face looked a little weak.
"Uh... It's okay. I was just shocked by the explosion yesterday and didn't sleep well all night." Lassein quickly replied.
"I see." Fumi nodded, "Anyway, I will also launch an investigation into the city. If I'm lucky, I should be able to find clues."
"I know." Lassein replied stiffly.
"Okay, you go down." The lord waved his hand, "Remember, if you find out the whereabouts of this group of people, don't contact them easily, just provide the list to the Holy Palace. I don't want Azure Castle to become a battlefield for legendary mages. "
After the two of them took their leave, Cleveland leaned back on his seat and let out a long sigh.
The matter of the Son of the Holy Spirit has not yet been resolved. Unexpectedly, the Holy Palace is in trouble again. With the church's trial team, the entire Azure Castle seems to be in a whirlpool.
This gave him a vague premonition.
For a lord, the more times this happens, the less likely he is to lose control of his position.
He did have investments in St. Blainey's Palace, but he also knew that this seaport city was the family's greatest asset.
…
Harbor Area, where foreign envoys stay.
"Xia Fan, Olina is awake." Li opened the curtain and said to Xia Fan, who was guarding the hall.
The latter quickly stood up and walked into the bedroom.
The room was filled with a faint smell of herbs. The dragon girl half-leaned on the bed with sleepy eyes, as if she hadn't fully recovered yet. New bandages could be seen on her exposed shoulders and back, but her face looked much better than last night, with a touch of blood under her fair skin.
And last night, she was carried back by Li after landing.
Being able to wake up in one day showed that Qian Yan's judgment was correct - the dragon girl was more mentally exhausted due to excessive consumption of breath, and the palm-sized burn on her back was not the focus.
Seeing Xia Fan, Olina's eyes suddenly became clearer. At the same time, she quietly pulled up the quilt and asked, "What time is it now?"
"Nine o'clock in the morning." Xia Fan sat down beside the bed, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?"
There was still a stinging pain in her back from time to time, but Olina pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's just a dissociation spell. It's not a difficult killing move for the transformed dragonborn. Of course... if it were replaced by Miss Li, the result is hard to say."
She didn't want to show her vulnerable side in front of this Oriental.
"It's okay." Xia Fan said happily, "Thank you for standing up and blocking that blow for Li. I should repay you."
etc…
"Repay?"
"That's right, merit should be rewarded and deeds should be punished. This is also a common rule in the East." Xia Fan thought for a while, "How about five hundred gold coins as my personal gratitude?"
Five hundred gold coins!
Olina's eyes lit up.
She wanted to pretend to be more reserved, but the opening and closing of her lips had already responded truthfully, "Then I'm not welcome."
"That's what it should be." Xia Fan said with a smile, "Fortunately, your injuries were minor. If it had been more serious, five hundred gold coins would have made me feel sorry."
In other words, the more serious the injury, the more compensation
Olina couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If she had known this, she might have shown a little more vulnerability.
"By the way... Did Miss Li get any important clues?"
In order not to dwell on how many gold coins she had lost, Olina decided to change the topic.
"We have discussed this issue before." Xia Fan paused, "As for what she discovered specifically, it is better for the person involved to tell it in person."
Li nodded and recounted his experience again, "I think there is a high probability that the wrong person was not investigated this time. From the conversation between Achie and the man in the mirror, it can be seen that they are very concerned about the Church Judgment Team, and Achie Lumen is not an ordinary wealthy businessman."
After that, she showed the replica of the emblem she had seen in front of Olina, "Do you know the origin of this thing?"
Olina squinted her eyes for a while and said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the emblem of the Star Tower Society. The six-pointed star represents the union, and the stars and towers usually refer to spellcasters."
