Chapter 675 The murderer who assassinated the king

Several days passed, and a wanted order for the Ultimate Shaman Society was issued. Overnight, the Ultimate Shaman Society became the target of public criticism. A few years ago, this organization was quite popular among the old nobles. At the same time, due to the death of Duke Cedric, the wanted order for the coven was also withdrawn.

In the past few days, the city of King Osenko was peaceful. As usual, Eden went to the church of the Fahora sect to preach and preach. Of course, there was also debate on the scriptures. Sometimes it was a gentle discussion, and sometimes it was a heated discussion. quarrel.

After many days of getting along with each other, the monks of the Fahora sect gradually came to trust this messenger of unknown origin. His erudition and unpredictability made the monks of the Fahora sect sigh. They are even fascinated by it. Some people, like Timian, are certain in their hearts that he is the messenger of the King of Kings. While other people are not sure, but they believe that even if Iden is not a messenger, he is still a man of profound theological attainments. genius.

In his contact with the Fahora sect, Eden gradually no longer held so many prejudices against them.

When he learned that the Fahora sect was the source of future paganism, Eden had a negative impression of the Fahora sect. However, as time went by, Eden discovered that the Fahora sect did not seem to be like It was as scary and evil as I imagined.

They are like a simple and unpretentious religious sect. Apart from claiming the coming of a new god, there is no stereotype of heresy in them.

However, this change in impression does not mean that Eden accepted the Fahora sect and regarded himself as a member of the Fahora sect.

On the contrary, in Eden's heart, he was still wary of this heretical sect.

"Hey, did you hear that? Prince Flo was arrested."

During a break in the sermon, a monk from the Fahora sect spoke.

"what?"

Eden said subconsciously.

"That Prince Flo, the king's younger brother, don't you know?"

"Oh...it's him, then...why was he arrested?"

Eden thought for a moment and remembered mission number one.

He was the only prince among the royal family who had not converted to the true religion.

"I heard this from a nobleman who was involved in this matter."

The monk from the Fahora sect said mysteriously:

"Evidence of deliberate assassination of the king was found in his house!"

When he heard this, Eden immediately stood up.

Evidence of deliberate assassination of the king was found in Prince Flo's house.

This means that Prince Flo is related to the Last Shaman? !

Eden immediately asked a few questions. After discovering that the monk did not know much about the matter, he immediately said:

"Sorry, I have to leave for a while."

.....................

Returning to the street where he lived, Eden learned from Althea about the arrest of Prince Flo.

Moreover, because Althea often wanders among the nobles of the royal city, she also got a lot of details.

"It is said that when Prince Flo was arrested, he initially shouted that he was unjustly accused. After all kinds of evidence were dug out from his home, this man yelled that he was just an abandoned son and that the real gangster was someone else. There is someone there, and he begged the king to let him go for the sake of his brother."

Hearing this, Eden said nervously:

"You won't really let him go, will you?"

Althea smiled and said:

"Of course not. Do you think it's Jaresto and Tertullian? That barbarian majesty has ordered torture to extract confessions. If you ask me, barbarism also has its benefits. If it were placed in Deschanel, I would If my father treated his brother like this, some priests would have jumped out and objected."

Eden listened to Althea's words and nodded silently.

In theory, this is indeed the case.

For this kingdom and this zone, True Religion is just a new religion. People may be disgusted with it, or they may be curious about it, but no matter what, this belief has not become a part of people’s lives, and those scriptures have not yet Reflected in people's every move.

After a while, Eden asked casually:

"You still have such deep prejudices against this place, I thought..."

Althea interrupted:

"Do you still think that after staying in this city for a long time, I will change my mind about this place?

No, this is not possible.

If you ask me, this place is indeed very prosperous, but compared to Deschanel, it is just ordinary.

Moreover, the prosperity here is only on the surface. Under the surface, this city is still barbaric. The Osenko people here have too many barbaric customs, such as feeding feces to the captive pigs on the first day of every year, and cruel competitions between humans and animals. Every man should be naked before reaching adulthood. Going into the forest for a day, and girls marrying condemned criminals, who can get away with it... There are so many barbaric customs. I heard that there are many places where a man has multiple wives, not female slaves, but It's my wife! These Osenko people, even though they are dressed in fine silk, are still covered in animal skins. "

Althea scolded Osenko again. Although she stayed here for a while, time did not fade away her dissatisfaction. She still missed the civilized and rich Deschanel and fell in love with the people there. Good life and free time.

"Having said that, it's quite sudden that Prince Flo was arrested so quickly."

After a moment, Althea spoke.

"Suddenly...it seems a little bit."

Eden nodded.

Logically speaking, if Prince Flo really wanted to assassinate the king, he should have planned it carefully and concealed it well. Without years of investigation, it would be difficult to discover the whole story.

"Perhaps the prince was unlucky and his plan was exposed. Who can say with certainty about fate?"

Althea spread her hands and said.

Hearing the princess's words, Eden's brows did not relax. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it, so he pursed his lips and remained silent.

Eden always felt that the big net in the darkness was slowly tightening.

Whether it is the Fahora sect, the future paganism, the witch coven, or the ultimate shaman society, or even myself, I am just a little spider among them.

Eden stood up silently, and when he was about to think about something, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Sister Cassandra hurriedly opened the door, followed by a personal maid who had married Althea. The latter was not only experienced in maid skills, but also often paid attention to all kinds of news that passed her ears. .

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Sister Cassandra came to Althea, looked around to make sure there were no outsiders, and blurted out:

"Cassius V has been assassinated!"

The king... was assassinated...

The sudden news was like a bolt from the blue. Althea's eyes widened, while Eden was stunned. Just now, they were discussing the arrest of Prince Flo. Who would have thought that the king would actually be at this moment? At this moment he was assassinated.

"What is going on?! Great Lord, tell me quickly!" After a while, Althea, who had never been very pious, couldn't help but call out "Great Lord".

Cassandra looked anxious, and she pointed to the maid next to her,

"Today, as usual, she went to see the king on behalf of His Majesty to offer gifts and blessings to the king. However, she was stopped by the guards. After repeated inquiries, she learned that today, His Majesty Osenko suddenly had a high fever. The doctor diagnosed that Cassius V was poisoned, and then during the investigation, the guards discovered that someone had poisoned the king’s wine!”

Eden suddenly thought of something.

When they met the king before, they saw him drinking wine!

"How is King Cassius doing now?"

"Although alive, the Lord has not yet received his soul."

The maid hurriedly replied.

"That seems to be a slow poison."

Eden said slowly, and then continued to ask:

"What to do now?"

Sister Cassandra obviously already has a countermeasure in mind,

"In the past few days, please don't go out or make a big show. We all know that we have nothing to do with this matter, but we are afraid of being used by people with malicious intentions, so we must avoid causing diplomatic incidents.

But before long, when the king's health gets better, members of the royal family or trusted nobles should be handed invitations to visit the king. We should also receive invitations. By then, we can go out. "

As Althea's nun growing up, Sister Cassandra has a keen sense of politics.

Eden nodded silently, and that was all he had to do now.

.......................................

.......................................

After Sister Cassandra's instructions, everyone in Deschanel seemed to have turned into wood and began to live alone in the royal city.

There is no other reason. The leader of the team, Brett, also knows that this matter is unusual. If he does not reduce his contact with the outside world, he will definitely get angry.

Although he avoided suspicion, during this period, there were already rumors in the streets and alleys of the royal city that the Deschanel people were plotting to murder the king.

The remarks were not limited to poisoning and direct assassination, but also rumors about casting curses and sowing discord.

After waiting for a few days, news of the king's improvement finally came from the palace. At this time, Deschanel and the people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the palace, nobles had begun to be invited to visit the king, and Althea naturally received the invitation.

"Although Uncle Cassius's condition has not completely improved, he is not as unconscious as before. He is awake for three or four hours a day."

Althea relayed the king's situation to Iden, and finally added:

"It seems...Prince Flo is really an abandoned son. He attracted Uncle Cassius's attention and made Uncle Cassius relax his vigilance."

Eden thought for a moment, and then asked:

"Who could be behind the scenes? Did the Osenko people find out anything from the interrogation?"

Prince Flo has been interrogated for quite some time since his arrest, but it was interrogated secretly. Except for a few people, no one knows the results of the interrogation, and it is not even sure whether Prince Flo confessed.

"This is an interrogation organized by the royal family in person, and no information has leaked out. It is probably because they are afraid of leaking the secrets, so the mastermind escaped early."

Althea guessed this,

"This is just what you want. You will investigate this matter secretly, won't you?"

Deschanel's beauty immediately understood the priest's idea. He really wanted to investigate the matter because he suspected that the assassination of the king was inextricably linked to the Last Shaman.

When the next day came, Althea was ready to visit the king, bringing with her a small entourage that included Sister Cassandra and Eden.

Arriving at the palace again, Eden raised his head and looked at the cold stone pillars. For some reason, he always felt a strange and dead atmosphere lingering around him.

Under the stone pillars of the palace, there are ritual circles that restrict ancient words, which are very common in the palaces of any kingdom.

Many nobles who came to visit the king walked in and out of the majestic palace gate. Outside the palace, there were exquisite carriages parked one after another. Many carriages were engraved with statues of gods. At sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun But there is no warmth at all, unlike the warm-toned light. People bathing in this sunset will look lifeless.

Among the nobles who visited the king, many were not able to see the king. They were only received by the queen and Prince Devine. Only a very small number of people who were trusted by the royal family were able to meet the king.

Eden followed Althea's team and stepped into the palace. He met Prince Devine again. This was the second time they met.

When Prince Devane saw Althea's arrival, he immediately showed a kind and friendly smile. His handsome appearance would make anyone feel close to him.

"Your Highness, my queen mother has been waiting for you to comfort her."

After saluting, Prince Devine said in a gentle tone.

Althea then turned her attention to Queen Osenko. These days, the old queen seemed to have aged a lot again. At the previous banquet, she was still full of vitality and full of spring breeze, but now she is like a flower that is about to wither and wither. It seems that the pampered queen has encountered such a big change for the first time.

The princess had a good impression of the queen, so there was some sympathy in her eyes at this moment.

"I'll go over now. I understand that no one wants to see such a thing."

After Althea answered politely, she started walking towards the queen.

Eden and his entourage wanted to walk together, but were stopped by Prince Devine.

"You are waiting here."

Prince Dwayne said in a semi-command tone.

Sister Cassandra looked around and saw that they were standing in the center of the palace hall.

"His Royal Highness Osenko, is he here?"

The nun asked.

Prince Devane did not respond immediately. He watched Althea's beautiful figure approach the queen step by step. Soon, the beauty Deschanel sat next to the queen and expressed relief.

At this moment, the prince suddenly raised his hand and gestured to the guards on both sides.

"Take down these Deschanel people, they were the ones who murdered His Majesty the Father!"
