Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

As the saying goes,

No matter how good your kung fu is, you are still afraid of the kitchen knife; no matter how hard the kitchen knife is, you are still afraid of the pistol.

Although the assassins are all strong and strong, and they all have sharp weapons, but... the Idar agent who is guarding Bruno is by no means a vegetarian.

Each of them has undergone extremely intense training and specialized agent training, and more importantly...in every agent's pocket, there is a latest model of magic pistol produced by Idar Magic Equipment Research Institute .

These assassins were indeed not weak, but Agent Idar had never considered engaging them in close combat.

so……

Almost as soon as the assassins raised their knives and struck at them, the Idar agents present took out the magic pistols hidden inside their windbreakers and beat the assassins into sieves.

Only one assassin tried his best before dying and threw the sharp blade in his hand towards the carriage.

Then……

There was only a clang sound, and the thrown sword did not penetrate the car as he expected, but hit the steel plate on the inner wall of the car, and then fell to the ground.

Yes,

As a time traveler, Bruno in his previous life had already witnessed all kinds of bizarre assassination cases.

Since he is already in a high position at this time, he cannot take the protection of his personal safety lightly.

Bruno knew very well that he was the soul of the Principality of Idar. If he accidentally capsized his boat in the gutter, he would be in unspeakable misery.

After all... who knows if someone will carry out a protracted assassination of Bruno like the "FBI assassination of Castro" example in the previous life.

not to mention……

An assassination is completely difficult to predict in advance.

Some assassinations may be for political purposes, while others may be assassinated because of personal grudges.

But what is hard to guard against is...some people may assassinate just because they have nothing to do.

Just like when John Hinckley assassinated U.S. President Ronald Reagan, it was just because he watched the movie and wanted to be famous, confess his love, and "copycat crime", so... he really went to assassinate him.

so……

Bruno is not only always surrounded by a group of Idar agents, but even the carriage he travels in is specially customized.

Although the appearance is not much different from an ordinary carriage, the inner wall of the carriage is made of special steel plates refined by the Idar Steel Factory, which is enough to withstand attacks from many weapons, including magic rifles.

Let alone a knife, even if three or five weapons were thrown at it, they would not be able to penetrate the carriage!

Even if it really penetrated the car...

Don't forget, Bruno is a hidden archmage!

Although he has never acted in front of everyone, and there are only a few people who know this, with his extraordinary casting speed, Bruno's magical attainments can be called a bug-level existence in this world, and he can completely face any danger. It’s time to protect your own safety!

Since the location of the assassination was near the city gate of Valens, the intensive gunfire immediately attracted the Idar soldiers stationed in Valens.

And when the generals stationed here heard that their Duke had been assassinated in Valens City, they suddenly felt bad.

This is not because he is worried about his position, but because he is really worried about the safety of his own Duke.

After all... everyone knows that the reason why the Principality of Idar has developed into what it is today is absolutely inseparable from Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar.

If it weren't for Bruno, the civilians would still be wandering in hunger and cold, the serfs would still be wandering between life and death, and the eastern part of the empire would be even less likely to maintain stability and prosperity in today's increasingly chaotic situation.

Therefore, there was no need for the garrison general to issue an order. Almost within a few minutes of the assassination, martial law was declared at the west gate of Valens City, where the assassination took place, and the rest of the city gates also followed the news. Closed one after another.

The entire city of Valens was enveloped in an atmosphere of imminent rain!

And here at the west city gate,

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Bruno stepped out of the carriage under the escort of Agent Idar.

The assassin's battered corpses had been moved to the roadside by the Idar agents, and they were all lined up in a neat row.

Um,

Although the corpses of these assassins could not even be said to have taken on human form, Bruno could also see... that they walked peacefully.

There were four assassins in total. Although they could not be said to be tall and muscular men, they all looked extremely strong. At first glance, they were no ordinary people.

"Check! Check hard!"

"Who sent these assassins? How did they enter the Idar Principality? Are there any of their accomplices in the principality? Even if you have to dig deep, you must find out this information for me!"

Bruno said coldly.

Although he usually doesn't get angry very much, and today's assassination did not affect his life safety, but... this time, he was really angry.

Since the assassination failed this time, will there be a next time? Will he assassinate others?

Old Ford? Anel? Liszt? Krell?

Bruno is always surrounded by Idar agents, but this does not mean that all high-ranking Idar officials will have enough manpower around them to protect him, and not everyone has the same magical strength as Bruno.

It's okay if the assassination fails. If it succeeds, no matter who is killed, it will have a huge impact on the political situation of the Idar Principality.

Bruno has always been extremely disgusted with such assassinations.

Among the working principles of the Idar CIA, assassination is definitely the last resort, and... any plan involving assassination needs to be submitted to Bruno himself for approval.

"Your Excellency, are you still going into the city? Do you want to return directly to Yi..."

Mundell hesitated.

"Of course! They are just a few desperate minions. They don't even know the weapons and equipment owned by Idar's army, so they just want to assassinate with those broken knives?!" Upon hearing this, Bruno said in a deep voice.

"yes……"

…

talk,

Although it is said that.

but……

Ordinary swords would never leave marks on the high-strength steel plate on the inner wall of the carriage.

But the long knife thrown by the assassin before his death left a deep dent on the steel plate of the carriage.

and……

Just as the long knife flew towards the carriage, Bruno felt a potential extremely weak fluctuation of divine power.

Bruno personally inspected the sword used by the killer and the killer's body.

Although the knife is not a broken knife, it is just an ordinary thing.

But the corpses of those killers still retain the fluctuations of divine power!

So... the key to the long knife that flew towards the carriage was able to burst out with such great power, not the knife, but the person using the long knife!

It takes almost no investigation to know that these assassins must be minions sent by the church.

after all……

Apart from the church, Bruno could not think of any other forces that might assassinate him.

It was impossible for Rez, so he had too much to take care of himself at this time.

Impossible for western nobles, unless they were sick.

The Kingdom of Basel is impossible because they don’t have any serious illnesses.

It is even more impossible for the Odin Empire, because it is obviously more in the interests of the Odin Empire to pick on the weak.

so……

To sum up, according to the elimination method, it can be concluded that... the Church of Light is the only force that has the conditions and motivations, and can also be related to divine power.

As for the reason...

Although Bruno has always hoped that the Principality of Idar can be presented to many forces in an image that is harmless to humans and animals.

However... the spread of Protestantism and the image of the "Guardians of the Faith" above the heads of the Stuart family are the only ones among all forces that can directly shake the foundation of the church!

And obviously, those killers are definitely not ordinary Crusader soldiers, they are most likely the power of the church hidden behind the scenes!

It is precisely for this reason that Bruno did not hesitate to dig deep, hoping to find more clues about the assassination.

…

Bruno did not deliberately conceal the news of his assassination.

so……

The very next day,

As the assassination that occurred at the west gate of Valens City gradually spread among the Idar people... the entire Principality of Idar was shocked by the news published on the front page of the Idar Daily!

Bruno has been assassinated!

Their Lord Duke was assassinated!

Even without waiting for the Idar Central Intelligence Agency and the Idar Public Security Bureau to issue appeals to the people of Idar, the people of Idar have already begun to spontaneously report strangers who behave abnormally.

after all……

It was Bruno who was assassinated!

It was the Duke who completely changed their living conditions!

As the news spread, almost all agencies in the Principality of Idar showed work efficiency unprecedented since its establishment, and based on the clues provided by the people, they explored the movements of these killers one by one.

Because this time, the Principality of Idar really achieved nationwide mobilization to a certain extent. It only took the Idar CIA just three days to mobilize several people with the help of the murderous Idar people. The killer's movement trajectory was spliced ​​out.

While the action trajectory was gradually figured out, the current problems of the Idar Principality were also exposed.

indeed,

The Principality of Idar has established an extremely tight defense line on the land border, with Stranglethorn Customs and Mann Fortress in the south guarding it. Even hundreds of kilometers of barbed wire have been built on the Valens Plains.

But……

If you want to start from Hobbs Port or Dorne Port and take a boat to enter the Principality of Idar by sea...

So whether it is the port located in the Merlin District, Solenberg, or the port located in the Cologne Industrial Zone, the customs inspection system at the port of the Principality of Idar is ineffective!

And those killers from the Church of Light relied on this omission of the Idar Principality to take the merchant ship of the Idar Chamber of Commerce and enter the mainland of the Idar Principality by sea!

so……

Bruno was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

As the president of the Idar Chamber of Commerce, Carlio is the first to bear the brunt. After all... the Chamber of Commerce's ships actually allow outsiders without identification to board the ship at will? ! And it was discovered that after the boat passengers left, they did not report it! ! !

The next day after sorting out all the clues, the merchant ship captain who was directly related to the killer's entry was arrested by police officers from the Idar Public Security Bureau.

Carlio, the president of the Idar Chamber of Commerce, was jointly and severally liable for poor supervision. The title of viscount originally awarded to him was revoked, and the position of president of the Idar Chamber of Commerce was taken over by Julian Heaton.

Liszt, director of the Idar Immigration Administration, took advantage of the crime and urgently established port customs, reset the inspection process after the ship docked, and increased the patrol intensity of the coast guard.

at the same time……

The Idar Array Research Laboratory was also assigned an urgent task, requiring the development of a security gate capable of testing the existence of divine power, which was to be completed within a month.

After this kind of security gate that can detect the existence of divine power is installed, officials from the Idar Immigration Management Bureau will receive direct feedback whenever church-related personnel who have divine power in their bodies enter the country.

only……

Different from the turmoil in various power agencies of the Principality of Idar, as the clouds of the assassination gradually faded away, the people of the Principality of Idar finally saw with their own eyes the new version of banknotes issued by the Principality of Idar.

…

Today, Justin Lucio has become a first-level authorized dealer of "Horn" brand bicycles, specializing in trafficking "Horn" brand bicycles to the Kingdom of Basel for sale. Last appearance in Chapter 379

Although the people of the Kingdom of Basel are generally much poorer than the Idar people.

but……

After all, it was a kingdom, with millions of civilians living there.

Although ordinary civilians cannot afford it, those craftsmen who are slightly famous can UU Kanshu www. uukanshu.net and the attendants who have served the nobles for generations, can also get such a sum of money.

so……

Justin Lucio posted!

Taking advantage of the east wind of the Principality of Idar, Justin Lucio made a fortune in the Kingdom of Basel.

Although I have to pay a high tax to the Principality of Idar every year, but... I pay peace of mind and feel comfortable.

With the asylum of the Principality of Idar, Justin Lucio realized for the first time that doing business could be so smooth!

However, this also left him facing a very real problem... How should he transport so much money? How should it be stored?

Compared with ordinary people, businessmen are the most supportive of the issuance of new currencies.

Because as early as half a year ago, they had already started handling off-site deposit and withdrawal services through Idar United Savings Bank.

The Union Savings Bank of Idar has not only established branches in various parts of the Principality of Idar, but also opened a Basel branch in Khalidburg in the Kingdom of Basel, located in the Goethe Plain in the north of the Kingdom of Basel.

In this way, Justin Lucio only needs to deposit the money he earns from the Kingdom of Basel into the Basel branch of the Idar United Savings Bank, and then he can withdraw the money directly from the Idar mainland.

With such convenient conditions, how could the merchants of the Idar Principality not rush to support it? !

So at the end of January, on the first day when the new banknotes of the Principality of Idar were officially issued, he took the lead in coming to the United Savings Bank of Idar, hoping to withdraw 40,000 yuan in cash, which is equivalent to a hundred gold coins!

After all... support is support, but Justin Lucio still wants to see with his own eyes what the banknotes of the Principality of Idar are like and whether they will be counterfeited.

Then……

His eyes opened.
