Chapter 278 He is confident

"The third prince, Sorok, was attacked by an unknown person, and he was seriously injured and was on the verge of death."

When such news spread in the noble circle, it was already the next day.

The third prince, Sorok, appeared in the atrium of the palace covered in blood, and was discovered by patrolling knights. Such news could not be concealed at all, and passed through the mouths of countless people to the ears of nobles overnight.

"What?"

"His Royal Highness Sorok was attacked?"

"How is this going?"

After countless nobles woke up, they were shocked by the news that reached their ears.

The prince of a country was attacked and was on the verge of death. This is definitely a big event.

In particular, the target of the attack was the third prince Sorok, not the incompetent royal children who were neglected in the palace, but the most outstanding descendant of the royal family and a strong contender for the next king. The day of the kingdom was pierced by a big event.

At this moment, no matter if it was the royal faction or the duke faction, they were all shocked and terrified.

They seem to have been able to see the wrath of the royal family and the scene of His Majesty the King's anger.

The truth is pretty much what they imagined.

When the news reached the ears of King Hemulimpu, the king was really angry. He sent out the knights, court magicians and even the shadow knights who stayed in the palace overnight to the place where the accident happened. While investigating, hunt down the murderer.

Many nobles were either suspected or implicated, and were summoned into the palace one after another for interrogation by the royal family.

Thanks to this, many people living in the capital just got up and walked out of the house, and they were surprised to find that for some reason, there were teams of knights running back and forth in the streets and alleys, searching for something from house to house. , There are also carriages driving back and forth, looking like they are in a hurry.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

The people suddenly fell into a state of panic, panicked by the actions of the royal family.

…………

In the downtown area of ​​the city, the Duke Cordeleon's Pavilion.

At this time, Saint Shalia was walking in a hurry and came to a study.

"Brother, the information has been brought back."

Saint Shalia spoke to the only person in the study, with a piece of parchment in her hand.

"Bring it to me."

The person who responded to Saint Shalia in this way was the handsome blond young man who was doing self-exercise in the backyard of this mansion last time.

Today, he is no longer sweating and exercising like a swordsman, but sitting behind the desk in the study well dressed, looking like a young and promising upper class person, exuding a refined and noble temperament.

This person is the elder brother of Saint Shalia, the elder brother of the famous Cordelion brothers and sisters in the kingdom, who is regarded as the best successor to the next king, the young master of Duke Cordelion who has a very high succession right— —St. Nidor Cordelion.

He took the information brought back by his sister, and quickly glanced at the contents above.

During this process, Saint Shalia spoke in a tone of admiration or bewilderment.

"That mad dog was almost killed. He was on the verge of death. Even the court magician almost failed to save him. In the end, His Majesty used the treasures in the treasury to save his life."

No one else knew who caused this, but the two brothers and sisters knew it clearly.

After all, even if they are not parties, they are also facilitators.

That's why Saint Shalia was so unbelievable.

"I knew he would take action, but I didn't expect him to be so courageous." St. Shalia murmured, "He actually planned to kill a prince who was in full swing. This Lightning Sword Master is not afraid of the royal family finding him His trouble?"

It is true that the Juggernaut is very powerful, but Li Ge is not the only Juggernaut in the Kingdom.

If Li Ge really touched the bottom line of the royal family, it is possible for the royal family to ruthlessly want to kill him in a fit of anger.

Not to mention that the Shadow Sword Master himself is loyal to the royal family, and there are many sword masters under the Kingdom's command, such as Zhenguan Sword Master, Meteor Sword Master, and the sword master from the Borley family.

As long as the name is enough, the royal family can send several sword masters to encircle and suppress Li Ge and cut him down by the sword.

And in the face of so many sword masters, can Li Ge still win the battle?

Not to mention, there is also an unfathomable old sword master in the palace, if even he is dispatched, then the trouble will be really big.

That one is known as the strongest sword saint in the kingdom. He has accompanied three generations of kings and has been stationed in the palace for nearly a hundred years. Although he is old, there is no sign of his combat power declining at all.

There are quite a few legends about that man in the Kingdom of Jinas, and several of the current sword masters have challenged him, but the results without exception are all announced afterwards, and he is not that man at all. The opponent of the old Juggernaut.

In the surrounding big countries, even many people are afraid of this famous old sword master, because this sword master has caused many troubles in their country.

In the face of such power, how can Li Ge, a newly promoted sword master, resist?

Maybe you can't even do a decent resistance?

Otherwise, the nobles sent by the duke would have taken action against Sorok long ago, and would not have kept him until now.

It is precisely because of the fear of the power of the royal family and the many sword masters that the duke's nobles can only stand still and let Saint Nidor compete with Sorok step by step to obtain the throne in a proper way.

Li Ge was not the case, if he didn't make a move, it would be fine, if he made a move, it would be a deadly move, without any regard for the royal family's anger.

"That just says one thing."

St. Nidor put the browsed information on the desk, and said something meaningful.

"Or, he is confident."

"Or, he never considered the consequences."

"Which one do you think it will be?"

St. Nidor's words made St. Sharia couldn't help but recall the impression she had when she saw Li Ge in the mead restaurant.

Saint Shalia was very impressed by those calm, indifferent, and unwavering eyes.

In light of this...

"The former?" Saint Shalia said with some uncertainty: "Is he really confident?"

"Perhaps." St. Nidor obviously couldn't be sure about this kind of thing, but said: "The only thing that is certain is that since he has done this, we will probably suffer a lot of entanglements."

No way, the next king supported by the royal faction was almost killed, and the rival of the duke faction must be the first object of suspicion.

The royal family will definitely suspect whether this is a good thing done by the people sent by the duke, or doubt the Cordelion family.

The two brothers and sisters would never run away.

"The next person to be summoned may be us."

St. Nidor's words made St. Sharia show a headache expression.

When I think about what's going to happen next, even Saint Shalia will feel extremely troublesome.

"He did a good job." Saint Shalia sighed, and said, "He is good at himself and knows how to hide his identity. We will be miserable and have to bear part of the responsibility for his actions."

"This tells us that the favor of a Juggernaut is not so easy to get." St. Nidor smiled and said: "Even if he is younger, younger than me, and the same age as you, he is still a Juggernaut. "

Saint Nidor was already thinking about how to remove the suspicion of himself and Li Ge from this incident.

Things have happened, and it's useless to lament.

Moreover, a crisis is also an opportunity. After overcoming this difficulty, the relationship between them and Li Ge will become closer, and the royal faction will be shaken and suffer from the turmoil brought about by this incident.

If you can seize the opportunity, it may not be impossible to turn a bad thing into a good thing.

"I'll help you out this time."

Saint Nidor seemed to be talking to Li Ge who was not there, talking to himself.

"Don't disappoint my expectations of you, okay?"

"Thunder Light Sword Master."

…………

At the same time, in the room of the kings in the palace, King Hemulimpu sat there with a heavy face, and there was still a little anger floating in his eyes.

"How is it?" King Hemulimpu said to the empty place, "Have you found out?"

Behind King Hemulimpu, a swaying black figure appeared.

""Shadow" has sorted out all the information that can be collected. "

Rom's voice reached King Hemulimpu's ears.

"After investigation, it can be confirmed that after the conflict between His Royal Highness Sorok and Rieger Brihaut during the meeting, he sent people to the Baron Cafield's territory that night to arrest Baron Cafield and Brihaut. The Lihout family has been taken back to the capital."

"Last night, he sneaked out of the palace alone and went to the abandoned houses near the city wall. There, not only were there many knights belonging to His Royal Highness that were not recorded in the records, but also Baron Cafield and Brihau The Te family."

"Then, His Highness was attacked by a group of mysterious figures. The leader claimed to be Xia, and he used a sword skill that could manipulate fog. According to the description of the surviving knight, I judge that the sword skill may be a kind of It is not inferior to the Shadow Strike Sword Skill at all, and is an assassination sword skill of the same type as the Shadow Strike Sword Skill."

"Your Highness was pierced through his chest with a sword, and almost died on the spot."

Following Rom's report, the expression on King Hemulimpu's face became more and more ugly, and the anger in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Boom!"

Finally, King Hemulimpu couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table hard.

The object of his anger is not others first, but his own son.

"Going out of the palace privately in violation of the foot ban and hiding private soldiers, this bastard really doesn't take me seriously any more!"

Last time, King Hemulymp was shamed by Yuli because of the mess that Sorok caused. This time, Sorok also made such a mess. He could already predict the following How will those nobles in the country be slandered.

If it wasn't his own son, or the most outstanding one, King Hemulimpu would definitely not ignore it.

"Then what?"

King Hemulimpu suppressed his anger and asked the most critical question.

"Who is behind this incident?"

"Cordelion's house?"

"Or...Rig Brihaut?"
