Chapter 3284 Arodes, Moonlight Rose

"The Twilight Hermits!"

Earl Hall's face was livid, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, his body leaned forward slightly, staring at his eldest son, and asked in a cold voice.

"Is the Augusti family involved behind this?"

The royal family and the Twilight Hermits are now cooperating. Earl Hall suddenly felt that this matter was not led by the royal family, which gave him an infinite chill.

Although the Augustus family is the royal family of the Loen Kingdom, this does not mean that the royal family can take away from other families and control the power of life and death. On the contrary, the royal family and other nobles have a cooperative relationship. Augustus is only the representative of the nobles in the kingdom, the strongest one, but if it dares to violate the rules and secretly attack other families, then it is possible that the Kingdom of Loen will become the Republic of Loen.

"Maybe. Even if Augustus didn't interfere, he was at least an insider!"

Ilsey shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent. Whether the Augustus family was behind the assassination of Duke Negan didn't mean much to him. Compared with the Twilight Hermits, the Augustus family was just a family. Just a small role.

"It seems I should seriously consider my relationship with the royal family!"

The faces of the Hall family were changing, and the dim lights fell, leaving mottled light and shadow, making him look particularly deep and quiet.

Seeing this, Ilsey stood up and left the study without disturbing Earl Hall's thinking, leaving only the somewhat fat Earl Hall thinking about the future of his family.

The gas street lamp at night illuminated the wet ground, and occasionally a carriage drove by, splashing some water droplets.

Backlund is located in the middle of the kingdom, only a few dozen kilometers away from the Sunia Sea. It rains a lot all year round. The average maximum temperature in July is only 28 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature in winter is around 2 degrees Celsius. There is a rare chance of falling to zero, but this does not prevent it. People feel cold here. Even the people of Northern Fusac who are accustomed to living in ice and snow sometimes cannot bear the biting humidity and coolness.

In the underground area of ​​the Steam Church, Deacon Ikanser walked solemnly in this closed area, silent all the way, and came to a tightly guarded room. There were members of the Heart of Machinery hidden around him, including several strong ones in the middle sequence. He is no weaker than the apostle of desire who assassinated Duke Negan. Their eyes swept over Ikanser's body, as if they were confirming the other person's identity.

"Your Majesty Deacon, please come in!"

Onner, the captain of the Heart of Machinery team, opened the door to the room, got out of the way, stretched out his right hand, and invited Ikanser to enter the room.

Ikanser nodded to Onner and followed him into the room. There were no extra decorations in the room, only a table. On the table was an ancient silver mirror with strange patterns. Both sides of the mirror were decorated with black gems. Like a pair of eyes.

Ikanser walked up to the silver mirror and gently touched the surface of the silver mirror three times with his right hand. The mist rose and the spiritual light shone. He showed a respectful look on his face and asked piously.

"Dear Arrods, I would like to ask you a question, who, or which force, instigated the Apostle of Desire to assassinate Duke Negan?"

The ancient silver mirror was silent for a moment, seeming to possess wisdom and spirituality. Then the surface of the mirror changed, and the water light floated, outlining a scene like an oil painting.

On the plain where the sun is about to set, the vast fields are filled with pale golden afterglow. The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is almost dusk.

There was a look of contemplation on Ikanser's face, trying to decipher the hidden meaning of this picture, and a low voice echoed in the closed space.

"Twilight is a symbol of the end of life. The forces behind the scenes are either a sect that believes in the God of Death, or a lunatic who believes in the doomsday!"

"The latter is more likely!"

Ikanser let out a breath of turbid air, glanced at Onner beside him, and his expression became a little nervous. He had such a reaction not because of this hidden force, but because of the corresponding price to pay for using this silver mirror.

The ancient mirror rippled with light and shadow, and then a question emerged, making Ikanser's face turn red.

"What color panties do you like?"

Ikonse seemed to feel like his head was smoking. He suppressed his embarrassment and struggled to spit out an answer.

"red!"

The corner of Onner's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that the usually calm and calm deacon would be so passionate and like red underwear.

"Uh-huh!"

Ikanser's cold gaze was directed at Onner, containing the threat of death. Onner's expression straightened, and he pretended to look at the wall, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"I don't want a third person to know about this!"

Onner nodded quickly. He didn't want to offend Ikonser and said understandingly.

"Your Majesty Deacon, I just went deaf and didn't hear anything!"

This ancient silver mirror is a level 2 sealed object with extremely high wisdom. The conditions for its use are not complicated. It can answer the holder's questions. Someone needs to watch when asking questions.

As a price for use, according to the principle of reciprocity, the user also needs to answer a question from Silver Mirror. If he cannot answer or lies, he will accept the assigned task or be punished.

Ikanser scratched his hair and looked like he had broken a jar. This was not the first time he had used this ancient silver mirror. He had lost his face a long time ago and continued to ask Arrods the second question. question.

"Dear Arrods, I would like to ask, who are the collaborators of the Apostle of Desire?"

The water light floated, ripples spread, and the effect in the mirror changed again. First, the back of a woman appeared, with a graceful figure and a fatal temptation. Then the picture changed again, and a blurred male figure appeared, and his face could not be seen clearly.

"Sure enough, there are other collaborators. This blurred man should have made some preparations in advance. Even the respected Arrodes could not directly show his appearance!"

Ikanser looked at the ripples on the mirror and asked another question. The whole person turned red, like a steamed crab, with a frighteningly high body temperature.

"Have you always relied on your hands to solve your desires?"

Ikanser's lips moved, but no sound came out. Onna on the side had a wandering look, but his ears had already stood up.

"Yes!"

A very weak and low voice sounded, and Ikanser had the urge to vomit blood at this time, and his toes were awkwardly digging the ground, but facing Arrodes, he still did not dare to choose to lie and answered the other party's questions truthfully.

At the same time, the Holy Wind Cathedral and the Saint Samuel Church all used seals to investigate the forces and conspiracies behind the Apostle of Desire.

The Storm Church even used a prophet from the Reader Path, a Sequence 4 demigod, to find revelations from the trajectory of fate. However, a small accident occurred. When the prophet was trying to find out the truth about the death of the Apostle of Desire, he was severely injured by an extraordinary aura that could not be looked at directly.

Queens, Hall Family Manor.

Audrey looked at Susie who opened the door for her to come in, with curiosity on her face, and asked in a low voice.

"What did Dad and Brother say today?"

Audrey had just returned home and noticed that Earl Hall was different. She didn't know what happened, so she asked Susie who was staying at home.

Susie slowly walked into the room, kicked her hind legs, closed the door smoothly, looked up at the curious Audrey, opened and closed her mouth, vibrated the air, and made a sound.

"Duke Negan was assassinated today!"

"What!"

Audrey was stunned. She looked at the golden retriever in disbelief, suspecting that there was something wrong with her ears.

Duke Negan was the most important person in the kingdom, but he was assassinated. Audrey was just a girl under 18 years old. It was the first time that she felt the cruelty and coldness of the world so vividly.

"This is absolutely true!"

Susie's face showed a serious look. Although it took the audience potion and became a Beyonder and had wisdom, it did not understand the impact of Duke Negan's death on the kingdom, nor could it feel Audrey's shock at the moment. It was the real audience, staying out of the matter and always calmly observing everyone's performance, not participating or interfering.

"Who did it?"

Audrey's cherry lips moved, and she subconsciously asked Susie.

"A Sequence 5 Apostle of Desire!"

"But he is dead. After the assassination was successful, he inexplicably fell into a state of loss of control!"

Audrey opened her mouth wide, gradually calmed down, frowned, and was a little worried.

"Even under strict protection, Duke Negan will be assassinated. Dad, Mom, and brother will also face danger. I must improve my sequence as soon as possible so that I can have the strength to protect my family!"

"From the situation every time I enter the family treasury, there should be many extraordinary people in the family. Even the Church of the Goddess of Night will provide protection, but it is still not safe. Duke Negan's guard strength is definitely not weaker than the family!"

Audrey's face showed a thoughtful look. The girl was very smart. From the extraordinary materials collected in the family treasury, she inferred that there should be extraordinary people in the family, but she still had an urgent urge to improve her strength.

"Come on, Audrey!"

"You must speed up and upgrade to Sequence 7 as soon as possible, or even Sequence 6. You must become the last line of defense to protect your family!"

Audrey has collected the potion materials of the Sequence 7 psychologist, but she has not been a Extraordinary for a long time and has not completely digested the mind-reading potion. It will take some time.

"Miss, dinner is ready!"

Suddenly, the voice of the maid came from outside the door, awakening Audrey who was lost in thought. She calmed down her emotions and walked out of the room with a normal look.

In the restaurant, a huge chandelier was hanging, crystal clear and magnificent. The members of the Hall family sat at the dining table, enjoying a delicious dinner. The atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed, and was not affected by the outside world at all.

After dinner, Ilsey sat comfortably on the sofa in the living room, with a lazy look, half-closed eyes, and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, like a fox, revealing cunning.

Audrey sat opposite Ilsey, observing Ilsey's reaction, wanting to know whether the assassination of Duke Negan had a negative impact on the Hall family.

"Brother, you seem to be in a good mood!"

Ilsey opened her eyes, a gleam of light shone from under the lens, a playful expression appeared on her face, and she said lightly.

"I guess so!"

"I heard that Duke Negan was assassinated. Aren't you worried at all?"

Audrey didn't know much about the strength of her family. She was protected too well by Earl Hall and Ilsey. She had never seen the cold and cruel real world. The assassination of Duke Negan today was a great shock to her. She was worried that her family would encounter such a thing.

"What are you worried about?"

Ilsi straightened up, looked at Audrey with puzzled eyes, and asked doubtfully.

"Your own safety!"

Audrey didn't understand why her brother was so calm and was not affected at all. Duke Negan was assassinated. Now the nobles are in danger and panic.

Ilsi heard this, chuckled, waved her hand, and explained indifferently.

"Audrey, you seem to have made a mistake!"

Audrey was stunned when she heard this, her eyes were full of confusion, and she didn't understand what this meant.

"Duke Negan is a great noble, the leader of the Conservative Party, with a high position and great influence. It's normal for someone to assassinate him!"

"I'm just a small deputy director of the police department. Although I have some reputation, no one will assassinate a small pawn like me. There is no meaning!"

Ilsi has a clear understanding of his status. He doesn't have a big position in politics, and assassinating him will not have any impact on the situation in the kingdom.

"I'm not qualified. Assassinating me is too worthless. The gain is not worth the loss!"

Audrey's pretty face showed a look of realization. She was worrying too much. The possibility of her brother becoming the target of assassination was almost zero.

"What about Dad?"

Suddenly, Audrey thought of Earl Hall. Dad was a top banker, a noble, and a member of the House of Lords. He had a very high political status and influence. He was likely to become a target.

"The death of Duke Negan has made the church and the nobles more vigilant. You don't have to worry about his safety!"

"The family's power is far stronger than you think, and now it is at a critical moment. There will be no more assassinations!"

Ilsi showed a mysterious smile on her face. Now the times are different. Except for the high-sequence masters, ordinary middle-sequence masters can't stand the baptism of guns and cannons. He happened to be a master of the general path. He was very good at making guns and alchemy. He made many powerful extraordinary items and became the foundation and strength of the family.

Ilsi looked at the confused girl in front of him, thought for a while, and said to her.

"Wait a moment, I'll give you a gift!"

After saying that, Ilsey got up and went back to his room without waiting for Audrey's reaction. After a while, he came over with a black square box.

"What is this?"

Audrey's bright eyes were full of curiosity. She stared at the square box that Ilsey handed to her and asked.

"A lady's firearm. You can use it for self-defense. It's quite effective!"

Ilsey opened the square box with a faint smile on her face. A small and exquisite revolver appeared in front of Miss Justice.

The revolver was engraved with exquisite patterns, gorgeous and beautiful, forming a rose pattern, shining with a faint silver luster.

"So beautiful!"

Audrey's eyes lit up obviously, showing her love. She reached out and picked up the revolver to observe it carefully. It was slightly cool to the touch and felt delicate. She couldn't let it go.

"What's its name?"

"Moonlight Rose!"

Audrey smiled brightly upon hearing this, and was obviously very fond of this gift.

"It's a nice name!"

"Thank you, brother!"

Ilsi nodded slightly, her eyes fell on the square box, where ten golden bullets were neatly arranged, each of which was engraved with complex inscriptions, shining with a faint golden glow, exuding a warm feeling.

"Here are ten special bullets, which are used with this revolver, and are extremely powerful. You must use them carefully!"

This revolver and ten bullets were made into extraordinary weapons after he was promoted to an alchemist, combining the characteristics of a mechanical expert. They are extremely powerful and can be regarded as a sealed item. Moreover, there is no cost to use them. The power can kill the strong men of the middle sequence. The only limitation is that these special bullets are extremely difficult to make and very expensive. One bullet costs about hundreds of pounds of money.

Ilsi briefly introduced them and handed the things to Audrey.

Audrey didn't know that the production cost of this revolver and ten bullets alone was as high as tens of thousands of pounds, enough to bankrupt a small noble, not to mention the effort and wisdom spent by Ilsi.

"I know!"

Audrey liked Moon Rose very much and kept nodding her head. She would carry it with her for self-defense in the future.

The doorbell of No. 15 Minsk Street suddenly rang. Klein frowned slightly, wondering who would visit him at this time.

Since accepting the commission from Prince Edessak, Klein secretly investigated Talim's death and obtained many useful clues. He suspected that the murderer was the civilian woman that Prince Edessak liked. He had visited Red Rose Manor many times, but he happened to avoid this woman and had not seen her so far.

Klein opened the door and the old butler was dressed in a black tuxedo. His behavior was in accordance with etiquette and he stood outside the door very calmly.

"Mr. Moriarty, His Royal Highness is waiting for you in the carriage at the corner of the street. He hopes to learn about the progress of the investigation."

"Okay, no problem!"

Klein was a little surprised. He didn't expect the prince to come here in person to understand the situation. He was about to walk out of the door when he suddenly felt a pain alone. He didn't have time to think about it and ran straight to the bathroom, still shouting.

"Sorry, I'm going to solve a personal problem. Wait a moment!"

The old butler had a blank expression on his face, without showing any abnormality, and said calmly.

"This is your freedom!"

“Puff! Puff! Puff!”

The bathroom was filled with thunderous noises. Klein felt extremely comfortable. He washed his hands and came to the door again.

The old housekeeper had disappeared. Only a maid was standing outside the door. Klein’s face changed slightly. He was impressed by this maid and had dealt with her several times. The person she served was the mysterious civilian girl.

“Detective Sherlock, His Royal Highness has left for something. He asked you to go to Red Rose Manor tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!”

“Okay!”

Klein nodded and expressed his understanding. After all, he was a prince. He was busy and must have been very tight on time.

“Mr. Detective, you missed that lady again! She was the one who suggested coming to you today!”

Klein’s face changed slightly and his brows furrowed. Something was wrong. He missed her by coincidence every time. He felt like he was being played by fate.
