The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 842: Sudden Death

Although the atmosphere in Bouvelles was very tense, it had little impact on the Ice Bear Castle. The annual winter festival banquet was still held as usual. Nobles from all over the Ice Bear Castle gathered in the Ice Bear Castle, but Compared with the excitement of the winter festival banquets in previous years, this year's banquet is obviously a little different.

Everyone had no desire to talk, and each sat in their own seats, quietly waiting for the banquet to start, to end the banquet early, and leave here, because they all knew that this place would become a battlefield in a short time.

Naturally, the performance of these people could not escape the eyes and ears of the Grand Duke Ice Bear. Their every move in the banquet hall was monitored by the servants here, and all kinds of information were passed to the Grand Duke's ears immediately.

The Ice Bear family has ruled the Ice Bear County for hundreds of years. It was already the ruler of this land before the Kingdom of Daliyat was established. Almost all the nobles here have blood ties with the Ice Bear Family. Loyalty is There is no doubt about it.

But this is just talking about the past, if he hadn't supported Lia Venistan back then, and hadn't supported those immigration policies and land exchange policies obsessively, scattered the most loyal members of the family to those wealthy places in the south, and let people from other places The noble entered Ice Bear County, perhaps he would not encounter the current predicament.

"However, it doesn't matter. The matter will pass soon. After tonight's banquet is over, the Ice Bear family will fully control the land of Ice Bear County!" After Lazio Fran entered the name of the last nobleman into the list, he Said confidently.

Then he pulled the rope next to the bookcase, and after a while, a secret door was opened. His secret agent came out from the secret door and stood respectfully in front of Lazio Faran.

"Distribute this list and let them act according to the plan." Lazio Faran handed over the list in his hand.

The spy chief put away the list without saying anything, but he didn't leave immediately, but showed a hesitant expression.

"Is there anything else?" Lazio Faran frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Master, the assassin sent over there has not been found yet." The chief spy said with his head bowed.

Lazio Faran's face became gloomy, and he stared at the spy chief for a long time without speaking.

The spy chief seemed to feel the strong pressure, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Looking at the spy chief trembling with fear, Lazio Faran said coldly: "Before tomorrow morning, you must find out the person, otherwise, you should know what kind of punishment you will receive."

"Yes." Seeing that he was not punished this time, the spy manager couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and responded, then hurriedly retreated to the secret door and closed it again.

"Useless waste, it seems that it's time to change a dog!" Lazio Faran not only cannot tolerate infidelity, but also can't tolerate incompetence. Obviously, the secret agent chief no longer has the qualifications for this position in his mind However, there is only one ending after this position is replaced.

Just as Lazio Faran was thinking about the next suitable spy chief candidate, there was a knock on the door in the room.

"Come in." Lazio Faran said in a deep voice.

As the voice fell, the butler of the castle opened the door and walked in, and said to Lazio Faran: "My lord, the banquet is ready, and all the guests on the list are here."

Hearing what the butler said, Lazio Faran nodded, and then told the butler to go down. He got up and took out from the closet an ice bear cloak that the ice bear princes of all generations would wear when they succeeded to the throne, and then prepared to leave the room, but in When he reached the door, he stopped for a while, turned around and returned to the room, opened a secret safe hidden under the desk, took out a necklace from it, and hung it around his neck.

Although Lazio Faran is confident that no one will be able to break into the Ice Bear Castle silently, because he has already deployed a large number of people in the Ice Bear Castle, including some family members and superhumans with special abilities, but he does not know Why was he still very concerned about the fact that the assassin hadn't found it? He felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he put on a protective magic item that he bought with a lot of money, just in case.

After getting dressed, Grand Duke Ice Bear walked out of the study and led a group of knights to the banquet hall.

When he entered the banquet hall, his footsteps stopped a little, and his face became a little gloomy.

Although he already knew from various sources that the atmosphere in the banquet hall was not very good, he never expected that the banquet hall would be so bad. Attending funerals in general.

"Funeral! Yes, this is the funeral for you guys!" Grand Duke Ice Bear looked at the rebels in Ice Bear County and said coldly in his heart.

The Grand Duke Ice Bear suppressed the ferocity on his face, and walked directly to the chair of the long banquet table. People around him, whether hostile to Grand Duke Ice Bear, dissatisfied with him, or loyal to him, stood up. Get up and salute him.

Seeing that those who betrayed him had to bow their heads to him, Lazio Faran showed a look of disdain on his face, so he decided to change his plan and no longer use the false etiquette with these disgusting guys, and went straight to the point. Let's get rid of these unsightly guys first.

So, he gestured to the knight commander beside him, and was about to give an order to directly take down the traitors on the list, but suddenly there was a crashing sound from the wall near the top of the banquet hall, and then a crack appeared, and from inside A slender, prismatic crystallized spear was drilled out, and it pierced towards Grand Duke Ice Bear at an extremely fast speed.

Grand Duke Ice Bear just heard the sound, looked up and looked over there, and the crystallized spear had already rushed in front of him.

Just when Grand Duke Ice Bear thought he was going to die, the necklace on his chest immediately burst into light, forming a transparent wall with silver-blue light, blocking the crystallized spear.

Seeing that the protective body he bought with a lot of money had an effect, Grand Duke Ice Bear showed a smile on his face. At the same time, he felt lucky that he could sense the danger and put on this necklace in time.

However, before the smile on his face could fully emerge, the transparent wall shattered in an instant, the crystallized spear pierced through without any hindrance, and directly stuck on the body of the Grand Duke Ice Bear, and the Grand Duke Ice Bear instantly became A crystal was formed, and then shattered into countless pieces, and his mouth was still intact. Judging from the shape of the mouth, it can be seen that he is smiling happily.

From the banging sound coming from the wall of the banquet hall, to the assassination of Grand Duke Ice Bear, it was only a moment. Everyone was stunned by what happened before them. Everyone didn't know what to do or how to react. The entire banquet hall was so silent that there was no sound.

At this time, those who were loyal to the Grand Duke Ice Bear thought of the plans that the Grand Duke Ice Bear hinted at, including the knight commander who knew the plan in the most detail, but now no matter how loyal they are to the Grand Duke Ice Bear, they dare not implement the previous plan Because the Duke of Ice Bear has no heirs, and the first heir of the Duke of Ice Bear is the Earl of Snow Deer, Campbell Farran, who groaned so painfully at Lazio Farran.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted loudly: "Kill them, it is the Grand Duke they assassinated! Take revenge for the Grand Duke!"

Hearing this, everyone instinctively pulled out the weapons at their waists, and slashed at the enemies around them at the same time, without even thinking about who shouted these words, and whether they needed to come to this life-and-death fight , The only thought they can have in their minds now is to make the enemy feel, and push the death of Grand Duke Ice Bear to the enemy.

At the same time, on the mountain far outside the city of Bouvelles, Leo was withdrawing the spirit net from the Ice Bear Castle and dissipating the crystallized magic power in his hand.

He also didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he just used a crystallized soul gun to deal with this big man in Deliyat, and he also learned about what happened in the banquet hall through the spiritual net, and knew that There must be Lea Winistan in there.

For the current Lia Winistan, an Ice Bear County in chaos and civil war is far more in line with his etiquette than a stable Ice Bear County, even though many of those people have secretly sworn allegiance to her, But she knew very well that in the absence of external pressure, the loyalty of these people could not be guaranteed.

Now all the powerful nobles in Ice Bear County are gathered in the hall to fight each other. No matter how the fight ends and which side wins, Ice Bear County will definitely fall into war, and neither side will let it go.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Leo. Now that Leo has completed the deal with Lia Venistan, he jumped directly from the small cliff on the hillside, and then spread his psychic wings to place the beast of the Northland towards him. Place flew by.

Not long after, he landed not far from the pack beast. After taking off the reins, he sat on the soft chair on the back of the pack beast and let the long fur of the pack beasts around him cover his body, warding off the cold. The wind and snow blocked the outside, and with a shout, the pack beast stepped forward and walked out of the valley of Bouviers.

Although Leo did not stay in Bouviers for a moment, his speed of travel was still not as fast as the speed of news. The news about the fight in Bear Castle and other news was conveyed by Xinying to Dai Lisa's palace. Leah Venistan, who looked a little weak, couldn't help being stunned when she saw the above information.

She never expected that the matter would come to an end so quickly. The Grand Duke Ice Bear, whom she considered a threat, died in just a few days. This made her subconsciously think that there was something wrong with the information, but after reading it twice, she After confirming that the information is true, Leo's execution ability can't help but be improved several levels again.

When she decided to assassinate Grand Duke Ice Bear as a transaction condition, she never doubted whether Leo had the ability to do it. The only thing that made her unsure was how long it would take Leo.

According to her estimate, it would take Leo at least one and a half months to solve the big trouble of the Ice Bear Grand Duke, but what she didn't expect was that the total time Leo spent was less than ten days. At least six days were on the road, but the actual preparation time for the assassination was less than four days.

In the information, it was written in detail how Grand Duke Ice Bear died, and the death process was beyond her expectations.

Since the time when Lazio Farran was driven back to Ice Bear County, Lia Venistan was considering changing the owner of Ice Bear County, so she had been secretly monitoring Lazio Farran's various actions, Lazio Farran She also knew about the fact that people went to the black market of the Maris Kingdom to buy a tower wizard's amulet, and she also knew that this amulet was very powerful. Break through the defense of this magical object.

However, Leo did it. With just one attack, he broke the protective necklace of the tower wizard and killed the target. The power of this attack made her think of what her divination witch said. As for the matter, it was mentioned that Leo would severely damage the wizard tower.

Although she knew that the wizard's tower was indeed severely damaged, which allowed her to get what she wanted without any danger, if she hadn't been too careless in the end and gave the wizard's tower time to self-destruct, maybe she wouldn't have been injured, let alone Will stay in the palace honestly.

At that time, she didn't know what kind of wizard tower Leo used that was severely damaged by power. She thought it might be a powerful strange thing left by some kind of tower wizard. After all, Leo had the title of the last tower wizard, and he had some The powerful strange things left by the tower wizards are not strange, but now it seems that they are not strange things at all, but a powerful witchcraft that has never been seen before, which can hurt demigods.

This made her feel an inexplicable sense of crisis. At first, she didn't know how far the tower wizard's research on the gods had reached, but now she knew from Leo that the tower wizard might have developed a powerful witchcraft to check and balance the gods. Yes, this made some of the original ideas in her mind begin to change.

It turned out that she was going to look for an opportunity to win over Leo again, and let Leo stay and become the prince of Deliyat, because it was the first time for her to feel such a powerful vitality from another person, and this vitality was similar to her own. They fit together very well, and the offspring born after the combination of the two will surely have talents far superior to those of their predecessors. She can also safely hand over the kingdom to her offspring, concentrate on church affairs, and prepare for the next step.

But now she has changed her mind, because Leo's strength has already posed a threat to her. What she needs is a husband who can help her reproduce, not a strong man who can threaten her life, so let Leo as soon as possible Leaving Daliat was the only thought that came to her mind.
