Whispering Verse

Chapter 2687 The son of a dead apostle and the prince were attacked

"Looking for relatives? Sorry, did you encounter something?"

Seeing the witch's surprised and puzzled gaze, Miss Danister answered on behalf of Shade:

"Shade's experience before becoming a ring wizard was very complicated, or he was stupid before becoming a ring wizard"

"Fool."

Shade used a fairly appropriate word, and he had no grudges about it:

"After becoming a ring wizard, I seemed to wake up from a big dream, but I forgot everything in the past. At that time, I was facing only an unknown future. According to the investigation of the academy, my family should have died, but no one knows where they are buried."

Or, Shade even suspected that these people did not exist at all.

Miss Winslet pursed her lips, then walked up and hugged him. Miss Danister had a strange smile on her face, because Shade was also a little embarrassed:

"Can you cast the bone-seeking spell on me?"

"Sorry."

But the witch still shook her head:

"The bone-seeking spell has great limitations. You know that every promotion of a ring warlock represents the sublimation of the flesh and blood body. Your level is too high. Your body is stronger than that of an ordinary high-ring warlock. You are already far away from your blood relatives."

She subconsciously put her hand on Shade's chest, and then her face turned red. She whispered again:

"However, you can treat us as your relatives. I mean Carina, Danister, me and Charlotte. We are all your relatives."

The witch apprentice tried not to show an expression that would make her teacher angry, and the red-haired female warlock smiled even more.

The flesh and blood of a high-ring warlock is very different from that of an ordinary person. This is one of the reasons why it is difficult for a high-ring warlock to make an ordinary girl pregnant, or to have an ordinary man's child. Although York Bronte is a dead apostle and his life essence has changed, he is still a three-ring and still in human form, so the witch thinks his hair is still useful.

Collecting the freshest hair is the best. Although it was raining heavily outside, Shade went out again with Miss Winslet. But because it was still raining outside, the witch, who didn't want to get her feathers wet, didn't turn into an owl, but got on a carriage downstairs with Shade.

As for York Bronte's current location, the girls who were responsible for monitoring him and the effect of the acorns all showed that he was with Prince William Anjou and was attending a salon in the side hall of the Golden Music Hall.

The salon was held by Countess Collins. In name, it was for everyone to exchange music with each other, but according to Miss Bell, it seemed that William Anjou was going to meet a few people there who were not convenient to meet directly.

And this time Miss Winslet didn't have an invitation, but this didn't prevent them from sneaking in. The purpose this time was just for a few hairs. If it weren't for the fear of accidents due to the identity of the dead apostles, it would actually be okay to let the high-ring follower girls come.

The process of getting the hair was quite smooth, because York Brontë came with Linda Bennett, the third daughter of the Bennett family.

When the two invisible cats appeared on the windowsill, Brontë was sitting on the sofa with the beautiful Miss Bennett, talking and laughing about the interesting things during this year's Moon Dance Festival. The two held hands and looked very excited.

So Shade Cat asked:

"Speaking of which, did Theodore Brontë, the earliest, have children after becoming a Dead Apostle?"

"Yes, in fact, you should know from the age that Baron Brontë and Ben Brontë were both children born after he became a Dead Apostle. I was also surprised by this, but it also proves that the blood of the Dead Apostles is still effective."

The witch cat replied.

"So did Ben Brontë, whom I met at the midsummer banquet in 1821, also marry a wife?"

"Yes, and he also has children, but they are all normal people, at least that's what the current investigation says.

I know what you want to ask. Yes, this guy will still marry a wife after becoming a dead apostle. This Miss Linda Bennett seems to be the prey this time. Do you know? Theodore Brontë's wife and Ben Brontë's wife both died of illness not long after their husbands died. I guess this is not a coincidence."

The young man and woman talked speculatively, and York Brontë tried to put his hand on the girl's skirt-covered legs, but the beautiful girl only smiled and raised her eyebrows, then blocked his hand.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the gray cat flicked its tail lightly, and the transparent air blade flew out silently, accurately cutting off a hair of York Brontë and then disappeared.

The latter seemed to have sensed something and turned his head to look at the window, but it was a pity that the "Dead Apostle" was not a monster proficient in breaking illusions. Under the multiple illusions of the witch and Shade, he, who only had three rings, could not see anything.

The two cats were not in a hurry to retrieve the hair that had fallen to the ground, but waited patiently. Not long after, William Anjou walked down the stairs on the side of the small hall, causing the people present to stand up and applaud.

This prince, who was suppressed by his brother and sister in the political struggle, enjoyed people's respect, and at the moment when the battle for the right to inherit the throne had not yet been decided, the local nobles would not treat these royal descendants differently.

William Anjou pressed down his hands to stop the applause. He was about to say something, and the silver cat on the windowsill noticed that the door of the small hall was pushed open a crack, and then a man walked in from the door sideways.

He was dressed like a waiter at the Golden Concert Hall and looked about twenty years old. He put his right hand into his pocket, and after entering the door, he looked up at the prince walking down the stairs, his eyes very sharp.

This scene made Shade feel quite familiar.

Bang~

As expected, gunshots rang out in the concert hall, and the bullet fired by the muzzle hit Prince William of Anjou in the left arm the next second. He screamed and fell backwards, before being pinned down and protected by his guards.

The loyal guards of the Anjou royal family and a few gray gloves agents immediately pounced on the man who fired the gun. The latter had no intention of running away or resisting, and allowed people to push him down.

“How come William Anjou gets shot wherever he goes?”

Shade asked on the window sill. The witch on the side watched this scene with great interest. She did not have any political leanings. Instead, she supported the princess even more because Margaret became a witch's apprentice. Therefore, she did not care about the prince at all. Negative emotions caused by an attack:

"It's really interesting. The prince who received the king's secret order was attacked in the Vista Grove. Something interesting is going to happen in this city!"

William Anjou's arrival in Vista was originally a semi-public affair, but the attack on Friday afternoon quickly spread rumors throughout the city, which was still in the midst of festive celebrations.

But unlike Shade's conjecture, the truth about the prince's attack did not involve too many conspiracies, and it was not the work of Shade's colleagues. When Shade went home for dinner that night, he told the story to Luvia, Carina, Lesia and Agelina.

"When the negotiations were held in Green Lake this spring, didn't the two countries have a small-scale conflict on the border? At that time, both sides sacrificed their lives. One of the dead members of the Kassenrik army was from Vesta. city.

His younger brother became resentful of the Anjou family and believed that the royal family caused this tragedy. This afternoon's assassination was revenge for this. Speaking of which, that man's marksmanship was really accurate. He shot William Anjou in the left arm from across most of the performance hall. The only doubt now is how the Avenger knew that William Anjou was in Vista City and would attend this afternoon's salon. "

Dinner was completed by Tifa and the maids. At this time, the family of five was sitting around the dining table, and little Mia was lying on Shade's left side, eating quietly.

The Duchess smiled and wanted to rub Shade gently with her legs under the table, but she immediately felt that Lesia's legs, who were sitting on her left, were already there:

"I know this, it is related to us. But this is also an unintentional move. In order to cope with the upcoming conflict, MI6 conducted a series of espionage activities in the South. This included not only spying on intelligence, but also provoking confrontation. I I also met with Anlos this morning, and he talked about a series of activities taking place around the royal capital in six places.

Providing information about William Anjou to dangerous elements was just one of them. In fact, even Anlos probably didn't expect that it would actually be effective. "

"Shad, is William Anjou seriously injured?"

Lesia also asked curiously, and Shade shook his head:

"It is not life-threatening, but it is said that the bones are broken. Miss Winslet and I originally thought that we would go to investigate the old cemetery of the Bronte family after getting the hair in the afternoon, but in order to find out what happened to William Anjou, we When I followed him until evening, I thought it was the [Tree Hole Association], but it turned out to be just a matter for ordinary people.”

"I was injured but not to my vitals."

"Auntie, what on earth did William Anjou do in Vista City?"

Agelina asked cautiously, and Carina did not hide it:

"This question is indeed the key. In fact, MI6 is also curious about this. The initial information found is that Gray Gloves discovered that the wife of Colonel Dupont, the top officer of the Dullwood Post, is our spy, so the king wants to protect the royal capital. He sent his son to investigate. "

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

Shade was very surprised by this, but the Duchess shook her head while tasting the veal steak:

"Don't be surprised at first. Later we find out that this is just a curtain to hide the truth.

On the surface, William Anjou was going to investigate whether Colonel Dupont had contacted us, but in fact he was going to investigate the secret meeting of the Drinol Zionists in the city of Vista. Do you still remember that in addition to the conflict between our two countries, there are also third-party forces disrupting the situation? The appearance of the Delinall Zionists can be regarded as one of the clues. "
