Chapter 97 Robert is numb! (First order requested!)
Are you telling me that Lis Cain is Silver level? What a joke!
Robert was choked and coughed, but the look of disbelief on his face undoubtedly sent such questions to his men.
"It must be true, Lord Robert!"
The subordinates used a very clear tone to dispel Robert's last glimmer of hope.
"Although I don't know what destroyed the wind blade I cast, I'm pretty sure that I saw that guy Li Si use the fourth-ring spell [Advanced Elemental Shield]!"
If it is [Advanced Elemental Shield], then it is indeed certain.
Although it was hard to believe, Robert accepted the reality that Lis Kane was a silver-level mage.
Trouble!
This was the first thought that came to Robert's mind.
Because all of His Highness's and his previous arrangements and plans regarding Li Si were based on Li Si being a bronze-level mage, this sudden discovery cast a shadow over Robert's heart.
Do we still want to proceed as planned?
No, Li Si is already a Silver Mage. There might be even a slight chance that something might go wrong with the assassination of the Golden Assassin on the Holy Festival!
And if he is a silver-level mage, it can’t be a recent breakthrough!
That shows that Li Si has been hiding his own strength before!
So Camus’ previous temptation was delivered to his door!
No wonder Camus has never been found. He may have fallen into Li Si's hands.
Robert was shocked to realize that Lord Atian's plan might have a big problem!
If Camus was really caught or even killed by Li Si, wouldn't Li Si become suspicious?
Wouldn't Camus reveal the slightest bit of information?
Just as Robert was wandering back and forth in the room worriedly, another intelligence officer from the palace also knocked on the door gently, bringing him another bad news.
"What? You said Lis Kane was summoned by His Majesty the King yesterday?"
Robert felt numb and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. The continuous bad news made him feel that the situation was developing out of control.
No, no! No more attacks on Lis Kane!
Regardless of whether he was a silver-level mage or not, regardless of whether he had learned of His Highness the Second Prince's plan, when he entered the king's sight, he brought too many variables to the plan.
You must know that the reason why Li Si was chosen as the target of the assassination on the Holy Festival was because he was weak and had few contacts, and his status as a palace viscount just met the requirements of His Highness to create an impact.
With a higher status, the negative impact of the assassination may be greater than expected, and may even affect His Highness.
Their status was too low, and their death would not cause any trouble. They could not make the palace nobles feel the same and ask the kingdom to start a war with the same hatred.
Therefore, a total of four people were selected for assassination on the Holy Festival. Li Si was the palace viscount, and the other three were all palace barons.
It was a good plan, but you told me that Li Si just went to see His Majesty the King?
The most important thing about this plan is not to arouse the suspicion of His Majesty the King!
It would be fine if the dead were a few minor nobles who had no existence. The king didn't know them anyway.
But if the king knew or even said that the noble he was paying attention to died, the meaning would be different.
If the king becomes suspicious, whether it is forcibly suppressing the nobles' call for war or in-depth investigation into the whole story of the Holy Festival assassination, this is something that Lord Artian and himself cannot accept.
You must know that no matter how rigorous the plan is, no matter how thorough the arrangement is, as long as you are willing to pay a huge price, in this world where legends and gods exist, there is no secret that will never be discovered.
"Why did you only send the news now? How many things have been missed!"
Robert looked at the man who was ambushing the palace sternly and blamed him.
If you had told me earlier, I would not have arranged for anyone to test Li Si today!
When his subordinates heard this, they felt a little aggrieved. He defended himself:
"Isn't this your order, saying that there is a legendary monk in the palace, asking me to come to you during my normal rest time?"
Robert was stunned, this was really his order.
The legendary monk's perception is very sharp, and anything that is not in line with common sense may attract that person's attention, so he ordered his subordinates like this at that time.
Robert couldn't help but feel a little irritable. After waving his hand to let his men leave, he sat there and thought for a long time, then hurried out in the night and rushed towards the stronghold of the two-story building on Face Street.
——
In the secret building, there is a study room on the second floor.
The second prince, Ater, was sitting behind the desk, listening to Robert's trembling report with a gloomy face, his brows furrowed.
Even in the face of such bad news, he could no longer maintain his calm expression.
"Are you sure about what you said?"
Yat'an's voice was slightly deeper, and Robert was a little nervous, but he still made a promise.
"There should be no problem with both pieces of information. They were both reported by my most capable subordinates."
"So, Camus is missing, maybe the problem lies with Li Si?"
Robert carefully raised his head and looked at Atian's face, and asked uneasily:
"You mean to avenge Camus?"
Atian glanced at Robert who was standing in front of the table and cursed:
"You are as confused as Camus. You know that something is wrong with Li Si, but you still go up to him to cause trouble?"
"Do you want to stay with Camus?"
Robert was scolded by the second prince, but his hanging heart was somewhat relieved, which showed that Lord Robert had not given up on himself.
"There's no need to worry about Camus, whether he's dead or alive."
Atian gave up Camus directly. As the second prince, he still had this decision.
"Robert, all the targets on the Holy Festival have been re-selected. Not only Lis, but also the other three barons."
Atian looked at Robert with sharp eyes and asked.
"Is it in time?"
Although Yat'an knew that this might cause a lot of trouble and the time was tight, with Li Si's unstable factor, Yat'an was even more unwilling to accept the failure of the Saint's Day assassination plan.
"No problem, Your Highness Yat'an."
Robert heard this and immediately solemnly promised that there were too many inconspicuous little nobles in Bright Light City. Although it would be a little troublesome, instead of continuing to test Li Si, it would be more convenient to change the target directly.
"Robert, other plans are basically in place. I don't want any further setbacks in this matter."
Art'an's calm voice rang in his ears, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on Robert's body, and he immediately fell to his knees subconsciously.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, there will definitely be no more problems!"
Atian didn't express anything about Robert's determination, but said:
"Li Si, let's continue to collect intelligence."
"But don't let your subordinates take the initiative. Whether you buy it from an information dealer or other methods, give me detailed information about Lis Kane."
"I'm a little interested in our Viscount Kane!"
Robert secretly raised his head and saw a smile on the second prince's face.
Please make your first order! Thank you guys!
