Noble Emblem

Although the Bernard family tried their best to conceal it, and they also asked the royal family to try not to reveal the news, it was impossible for such a big move not to attract the attention of other families in the city. Soon, other well-informed families knew about it.

The Bernard family was robbed and lost more than three hundred gold coins.

But that's not the point. The point is that Bernard's heir and an elf slave girl disappeared at the same time. No one was seen alive, and no body was found after death.

Once you think about it, this becomes a bit intriguing.

Could it be that he eloped with the elf slave girl? After all, apart from the disappearance of two people and some money, the Bernard family had no other losses.

That is to say, there was no sign of being attacked, and no one was injured or killed. From common sense, it does not look like there was any malicious attack.

Therefore, the speculation of elopement is quite popular. If that were the case, other families would really have fun watching it.

But unlike the speculations of other families, the Bernard family unanimously believed that the reason for Mantekin's disappearance was definitely that he was kidnapped, and he was taken away with the elf slave girl.

At the 'crime scene', a young man wearing a white scarf slowly said to the Nard family: "As far as I know, ordinary people can't pull off gold handcuffs of this size. Elf It's even more impossible. If Master Mantekin really wants to elope with the elf slave girl, he can't do it, and he can't break the handcuffs. It's not necessary, he has the key."

One of Bernard's tribesmen asked: "Greg, you mean, Mantekin was attacked?"

"It can only be like this. And the attacker has a strange obsession with money." Greg is a 'hunter', he is very good at tracking and reconnaissance: "Not only did he take away gold coins, but he also didn't let go of gold and silver products. If Master Mantekin wants to elope, so he can’t bring so many cumbersome things with him.”

Several people present nodded, and they had to admit that Greg's analysis made sense.

"Then can you find out anything from these clues?" someone else asked.

Greg said solemnly: "The attacker was very powerful. He didn't leave any information about him at the scene, whether it was hair or footprints. In addition, there were servants coming and going in the castle last night, but he could take down the entire castle." Almost all the gold products in the mansion were stolen, which shows that his hiding ability is very strong. Only master-level assassins or powerful spellcasters who know secondary invisibility can do this. But the problem is , the caster cannot use brute force to break the golden handcuffs, they don’t have that kind of power.”

In this way, it can only be a master-level assassin profession.

Greg continued: "I suggest that we invite the assassin masters in the royal city for questioning. If possible, we should pay more attention to the outside assassin professionals."

"I think it's possible that professions like magic swordsmen can do good things? Not only are they good at magic, but their power is also not weak."

A young tribesman made a weak voice.

Greg is a hunter, and his expertise has been questioned. Logically speaking, he should be angry, but he doesn't dare. No matter how young he is, the other person is still a member of Naard, and is not someone who can be discriminated against by a professional like him. Of course, if he is promoted to the master level, it will be another matter.

"Your Excellency, it stands to reason that the Magic Swordsman type profession can indeed achieve this level, but that must be based on the premise that the opponent must be a master-level strongman. As far as I know, the Magic Swordsman type profession can There are only a few people in the world who have been promoted to the master level. And there is not a single magic swordsman who is proficient in secondary invisibility."

The level of secondary invisibility magic is neither high nor low. Even pure spellcasters need to be at an elite level before they can master it. As for magic swordsmen who practice both physical and demonic skills, they not only have to practice swordsmanship, but also learn magic. People's time is limited, and no magic swordsman is willing to learn this kind of auxiliary magic that is not very helpful in combat. Only those pure spellcasters who delve into the essence of magic can learn it.

The young man smiled coquettishly and stepped aside.

"Then invite those assassin masters to inquire carefully." One of the middle-aged Bernard clan members said indifferently: "If they are unwilling to come, then forget it, even our Bernard family, It is impossible to offend so many master-level experts at the same time. Of course, those who are willing to come are our friends, and those who are unwilling to come, we will see each other slowly in the future."

This was said gently, but full of domineering.

In any case, the Bernard family's affairs have caused an uproar in the Royal City of Djibouti. The Bernard family has also issued a reward. Anyone who can provide effective clues will be directly rewarded with five hundred gold coins.

Five hundred gold coins is nothing to the big nobles, but to the small nobles, it is almost five years of income.

For civilians, this is simply an astronomical figure.

At this moment, all the demons and monsters in the city took action, and the whole city of Djibouti seemed even more chaotic.

In this chaos, Beta was still making magic scrolls in the hotel, and occasionally went out to buy some magic materials. Some people who were monitoring him slowly withdrew.

Shirley and the other three people still attend dinner parties from time to time. Now their reputation is getting bigger and bigger in the city, to the point where even just talking to them a few words feels very honorable.

After a few days, Shirley and others also mastered a lot of information about the elf slave girl. After all, most men like to brag in front of women, and a lot of information was exposed in this way.

Mantekin's body was finally discovered seven days after his disappearance.

A hurricane blew away the sand that buried him.

The body was returned to the Bernard family, and Greg was again invited to see the cause of death.

Mantekin's body had completely lost all water and turned into a mummy.

Greg watched for less than a minute before concluding: "He was violently twisted to death from behind. This is in line with my previous judgment. The intruder must be a master assassin."

The old patriarch waved his hand and asked Greg to leave, and then he stayed alone, sitting on the ground, accompanying the mummy, and talking softly. After talking about the interesting things about the mummy's childhood, the old man's eyes became red soon after.

The fact that the Bernard family lost their heir immediately attracted everyone's attention, including the royal family. After all, the royal family is related by marriage to the Bernard family, and the crown prince even came to mourn for a while.

Then there was the entire royal city, and everyone was in danger. The murderer dared to kill Bernard's heirs silently for unknown reasons, so it was naturally possible to kill them.

No one dared to relax their defense until they understood who killed Mantekin and for what reason.

The bigger the person, the more afraid of death.

As a result, there were fewer banquets in the Royal City of Djibouti. After Shirley and others attended the banquets for several nights, they began to reveal the news of their upcoming departure.

Many people feel that it is extremely regrettable that they have not been able to kiss Fangze, so they will naturally try to stay and ask why.

The reason for Shirley and others is also very simple: they have stayed here for a long time and want to visit other places.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that these three women want to stay away from the political storm in Djibouti.

The three left Djibouti City four days after revealing the news. Since they had no suspicion, they naturally did not stop them.

Although a large number of young nobles tried to persuade them to stay, the three of them still left firmly without a trace of nostalgia.

More dirty people wanted to stop them, but no one dared to take action. With two master-level spellcasters and a quasi-master-level half-elf, even the king had to weigh his fists and consider whether it was worth it. , let alone an ordinary noble family.

Three days after the three women left, the noise and disturbance caused by them gradually subsided.

Beta remains in Djibouti City. He had obtained the information handed over by 'Rat' three days ago, and coupled with the information collected by Shirley and others, he estimated that most of the elves in Djibouti City were in the information, or one or two would be missed. , but Beta has no time to investigate anymore.

Because he had other things to do, help Alice, just by the way...

He took out a drawing from the art space of the mansion, and it suddenly turned out to be an overhead view of Djibouti City. A map like this is generally inaccessible to outsiders, but Beta has the flying pet Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc has been hovering over the city in the past few days. Beta relied on his basic drawing knowledge to draw the city of Djibouti. on paper.

Although it is not too accurate, it is enough for Beta.

Then, based on the information given by the mouse and the information obtained by the three women, he began to draw a black line on the map. Starting from the hotel where he was, he zigzagged through many large buildings to the palace. At the end, he drew a circle heavily on the palace, then drew it out with a dotted line, and finally made a cross at the end.

Beta stared at the map for a long time, and then he entered the mansion's magic space and saw two elves sitting at the table drinking fruit wine.

Both Julie and Mariana looked much better than the previous few days.

"How is it done?" Beta also sat at the table, picked up the cactus fruit on the table and started eating it.

"It's all done." Julie took out four sets of long black cloaks, and at the same time held out a red cloak: "Also, I have to return this magic cloak to you."

Beta took the cloak and put it on. This magic cloak is not the best equipment, but its properties are very suitable for Beta, a 'divine noble', because he cannot restore mana through meditation like an ordinary magician, and can only speed up the recovery of spirit and mana through equipment. Reply speed.

With this cloak on him, whether he is fighting or making magic scrolls, his efficiency will be greatly improved.

"Are you really going to save other tribesmen?" Julie's tone was a little helpless: "Emotionally speaking, I hope you can rescue all your companions, but rationally speaking, I think it's better for you not to do this. It’s too dangerous, and you might get yourself into it.”
