Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 242 Assassination Target
Seeing that the "hermit" didn't answer, Audrey thought for a while and asked:
"Is he a member of the royal family?"

hiss……

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath. If Qilingos' target was a member of the royal family, it would be a crazy act that could trigger a war.

Derrick "Sun" didn't know why and kept silent.

The word "royal member" was too unfamiliar to him.

Seeing that she was not a member of the royal family, Audrey began to name the nobles and upper-class figures she knew one by one:

"Baron Syndras?"

The very rich banker?Klein had heard of this name.

"No." Chris shook his head.

"Baron Gramir?"

"No, not him."

Afterwards, Audrey mentioned several members of the aristocracy, but Chris denied them all.

Finally, she pretended to be normal, but actually asked fearfully:

"Earl Hall of Backlund?"

Chris was stunned for a second, then shook his head and smiled:

"Not at all."

"Could it be the current prime minister of the kingdom, Agushed Nigen?"

This is a name that Audrey did not expect at first - after all, the power of the Negan family is under the royal family and is the first noble of Loen.

She thought from the bottom of her heart that since the target of "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilinguesi was not the royal family, it was unlikely to be members of the Negan family - assassinating them was no different from committing suicide.

But to her surprise, the "hermit" did not directly deny it, but remained silent for a moment and said:
“Not Aghid Negan.

It was his brother, Paras Negan. "

"Paras Negan?!"

"The Hanged Man" Alger said in shock. He was very familiar with this name——

Pallas Negan believes in the Lord of Storms and is an extremely important figure in the Church of Storms. Although he does not hold a clear position in the Church of Storms and is not considered a "real person" in the church, he is very important to the kingdom's economic line. Even the influence of foreign policy even exceeds that of Pope Gad II!
Of course, this is an exaggeration, but high-level officials with clear positions in the Church of Storms, such as Pope Gad II, Archbishop of Backlund Diocese, Ace Snake, and their colleagues in the "Church of the Goddess of Night" ", under the checks and balances of the "Church of the God of Steam and Machinery", it will certainly not directly affect the formulation of the kingdom's policies.

What's more, the Church of Storms' sphere of influence is not limited to Loen, and they don't need to be limited to this one country.

But Duke Negan is different. As the leader of the Conservative Party, as the person who owns the most land besides King George III, and as the brother of the current Prime Minister, he can be regarded as a powerful figure in Loen's political circles.

And he is a loyal believer of the Lord of Storms, and his importance in the Church of Storms is self-evident!

At this moment, Alger deeply doubted whether Qilingos's head was broken.

Assassinating Paras Negan?
Isn't that a joke?
Chris nodded:

"Yes, according to reliable information, Qilingus' target is Duke Negan."

"Who is the source of the information?" Alger said quickly.

Chris shook his head silently.

"Do you know the time and place of the assassination?"

Audrey felt relieved after hearing that "The Hermit" denied that "Vice Admiral Hurricane"'s assassination target was her father, Baron Hall.

However, her mentality has not reached the point of "curiosity". She is still deeply worried and uneasy.Chris said lightly:
"I heard that Duke Negan will be holding a ball soon."

prom……

Alger chewed on the word and thought that if he were Qilingos, he would not assassinate Duke Negan when he was alone. He must be on guard at that time.

At the ball, it is a good way to mix into the crowd and carry out assassination.

Moreover, Qilingos possesses a powerful magical item, which is suspected to correspond to the "Secret Prayer" path sequence 5 and the "Creeping Hunger" extraordinary characteristic of the "Shepherd".

"Is he going to do the assassination at the ball?"

Audrey was worried - her father had just told her not long ago that he would take her to Duke Negan's ball in two days.

Chris thought for a while, but it was not easy to be sure directly, so he said instead:
"This is a guess from my intelligence source. I don't know the specific time and place of the assassination, but one piece of information is clear-Zillinges' target is indeed Duke Negan."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Hermit." Audrey thanked him.

Seeing that Miss Justice stopped asking questions, Alger took over the conversation:
"'Hermit', do you know why Qilingos assassinated Duke Negan? What magical item did he want?"

"As far as I know, what he wants is a card made by Emperor Roselle that hides the secret of becoming a god."

Blasphemy card? !
Klein's hands that were originally crossed and resting on his chin changed positions. He lightly covered his mouth with his left hand, placed his right hand on the table, and kept tapping the table with the tip of his index finger.

This is the first time I have heard about the Card of Blasphemy in a place other than Russell’s diary!

Do not……

His expression suddenly became solemn, and the gray fog around his body seemed to become thicker.

No, I remember that "The Hermit" got a greeting card made by Emperor Russell from "Justice" before.

Isn't that greeting card a "blasphemy card"? !
Of course, Klein wanted to get the "blasphemous card", but then he thought about it. The "Hermit" was not an outsider. As a founding member of the Tarot Society, it was okay for him to get a "blasphemous card".

If I later ask the "hermit" about "greeting cards", he will probably answer truthfully.

At that time, it will be confirmed whether he has obtained a "blasphemy card.

Klein came back to his senses, and his eyes gradually became kind when he looked at the "hermit".

As for "The Hanged Man" and "Justice", they only knew that Emperor Russell had created a "card containing the path to God", but they did not know that its name was "The Card of Blasphemy".

As for "Sun" Derrick, he doesn't know anything about it.

The card that contains the secret of becoming a god...

Alger chewed on this sentence and thought that if this was the case, then he could also understand Qilingos' behavior.

Could it be that Qilingos wanted to take that card from Duke Negan?
Is he going to risk death to assassinate Duke Negan who owns the card?

He didn't think of an answer, so he asked Chris:
"'Hermit', whose hand is that card now?"

Chris was thinking about this issue just now.

He felt that he had some vague ideas. It seemed that the name of the person who was behind the scenes and asked Qilinges to assassinate Duke Negan was on his lips, but he just couldn't figure out that person's name.

Using the temptation of the "Tyrant" card, let "Hurricane Lieutenant General" Qilingos assassinate Duke Negan...

Duke Negan is a believer of the Storm Lord and has a great influence on Loen's senior leaders...

Chris's heart suddenly trembled, and he figured out the answer to the question.

But he must not say that name.
