Working Prophet

"I can understand Miss Ilea's pain in losing your father," David continued. "At the same time, considering your contribution to the West, I decided not to pursue your offense against me and my family this time. As long as you Promise me that nothing like this will happen again in the future.”

No one present expected that things would develop to this point. The future Lord of the West was still willing to make sacrifices and concessions.

He only needed a promise from Ilea to get this matter over with, without even asking for an apology, which fully demonstrated his tolerance and kindness.

In comparison, the other side seemed a bit messy and unreasonable.

In particular, the girl is still a vassal of the Figuerola family. In the Bratis continent, loyalty has always been the first quality of the nobles, and those who commit the following crimes usually do not end well.

However, facing David's olive branch, the female lord did not make any response.

Just stood there and remained silent.

And silence itself is a statement.

There were more and more voices of dissatisfaction among the crowd. The aristocrats were a little better, and they always had to take into account the minimum dignity. In contrast, some people on the civilian side were already opening their mouths to curse.

David didn't urge him and just sat quietly on the chair. He could see the unwillingness in the girl's heart, and believed that the other party had no other choice but to surrender.

But the next moment another voice came to his ears.

"I'm sorry, can I ask you a few more questions?"

David turned his head and saw Li Yu, dressed in black, walking towards this side. Behind him, there was a young apprentice from the theater troupe, holding a square black box that looked quite heavy.

"What's this?" David asked.

"Oh, this is a sacred weapon of Shuangxiu Cult. It can amplify the sound." Li Yu did not hide it.

The Changhong outdoor speaker held in the arms of the young apprentice was picked up by [Environmental Frog] a month ago. Li Yu took it with him when he asked the soldiers of the Arias family to return to the green field to get equipment. come over.

A look of surprise appeared on David's face, "The sounds that appeared in the play just now were all made by this thing... What a magical method."

The acting head of the Figuerola family expressed his admiration from the bottom of his heart. He paused and said, "Prophet Merlin, you are also helping Miss Ilea find the murderer behind her father's murder. If you have any questions, just ask. I will definitely know everything." answer."

"Actually, what I want to ask is something else. After defeating the black dragon, Miss Ilea also caught the person who was manipulating it behind the scenes."

"That guy with wings, Gabriel." David nodded, "I've seen him before."

"That's right, and then he died." Li Yu said.

"Gabriel wanted to assassinate me at that time, but he failed. He was beheaded by the guards who came after hearing the news. Many people were present at the time and can testify." David's expression remained unchanged.

The Sheriff also interjected at this time, "The prisoner is holding a murder weapon and is very dangerous. There is no problem with the guards' handling."

"But where did the murder weapon come from?"

"It was a skinning knife. It was originally hanging on the wall of the interrogation room. It was secretly given to Gabriel by a dungeon guard named Praed." Speaking of this matter, Iron Mask's expression was not very good.

Because the final responsibility for this matter still falls on him. It was his lax control that caused the future Lord of the Western Region to be almost injured.

"What about Praed?" Li Yu continued to ask.

"Dead." Brian said, "After the incident, I took people to his residence immediately, but there was no one there, and Praed, his wife and daughter were not there. We were about five days later. The bodies of three members of their family were found in a wastewater well."

"So he, like Sir Carloman, will never be able to tell who ordered them to do this?"

The Sheriff is not as rough and violent as he appears on the surface, and he has not stepped into the literal trap set by Li Yu, he said very cautiously.

"Sir Carloman just died. I haven't investigated his affairs yet, so I'm not sure why he committed suicide. As for the Praed family, they should have been silenced."

"Who do you think the murderer will be?"

"I don't know. I'm still searching for that guy's whereabouts. Don't worry, I won't let him go." Brian snorted.

"What about you, Lord David? Who do you think would want to assassinate you?"

"I doubted my younger brother at first, but now it seems that there are other people who want my life." David said lightly, "Although the Figueirola family dominates the western region, they are not without enemies, especially mine. There are many people among our ancestors who acted in a more violent way.

"For example, when we captured this city, we killed many people. If these people still have descendants alive, they might come back to seek revenge on me.

"Speaking of which, I heard Miss Ilea said that you can find someone through the oracle, Prophet Merlin, and you were the one who found Sir Carloman, so I wonder if you, Prophet Merlin, can also help me find that assassin?"

David said leisurely, looking at Li Yu with a hint of imperceptible mockery in his eyes.

But he didn't expect to hear Li Yu simply say, "Okay."

"Can you really do it?" David frowned.

"Of course, but not through the oracle. Before coming to Yanxue City, Gabriel and I had a private... communication."

"Really, did he tell you why he wanted to assassinate me?"

"No, the content of our conversation mainly revolved around the issue of whether he would be killed and silenced. Gabriel seemed very confident in his high-ranking ally and firmly believed that the other party could save him, but in the end I still Persuaded him to add another insurance.

"I hid a small thing on one of his wings, this is it." Li Yu said as he took out a small circuit board from his pocket, which he got from a mini voice recorder. It was removed and still had dried blood stains on it.

"Fortunately, it was Gabriel's other wing that was chopped off at the time. The principle of this may be a bit complicated to explain, so I'll keep it short. I gave Gabriel the ability to temporarily record sounds, so in his He also recorded all the sounds at the scene the night he was killed.”

Li Yu said, "Then let's invite everyone to listen to everything that happened that night. I believe that after listening to this recording, everything will come to light."

After saying that, he looked at David thoughtfully, and the latter finally lost his previous calmness and calmness.

His eyes were full of panic and disbelief, and even the people around him could clearly feel his panic at the moment.

This was the first time that everyone saw the future Lord of the Western Territory in such a mess. The veins on his forehead popped out. He stood up from the chair and shouted at Li Yu, "No, this is impossible!"
