HAIL THE KING !
Chapter 108: Restricted Area in Back Mountain
The man and the dog ran to the last hall in the building.
This hall is where Prince Okocha lives. This place was filled with corpses, but there were finally signs of fighting and struggling. At this moment, Fei could tell that the killer was a warrior or a witch caused by fire; there were traces of fire damage, some corpses were even burnt to ashes. The air here smelled like blood combined with grilled and burnt meat.
He saw a better-kept corpse lying at the end of the hall.
This corpse was wearing a set of shiny armor. Magic energy loomed around the armor; it was obviously an expensive piece of magic equipment. The corpse had blond hair and his face could be considered handsome if he was still alive, but his crooked nose spoiled the "overall picture". He also wore a golden crown decorated with a dozen jewels. His terrified expression showed that he could not believe what had happened at the last moment of his life. His throat was sliced by something sharp and the wound was burning a scar. Many bloody bubbles spurted out from his mouth; blood began to condense and turn black.
No one lives in this building and stone courtyard.
An entire group of envoys from the Kingdom of Thrace, including over two hundred people were slaughtered by an unknown enemy with almost no resistance.
The wind at night gave Fei goosebumps.
From body temperature, the battle happened less than ten minutes ago; that was what surprised Fei the most. The group of envoys from the Kingdom of Thrace stayed only about 3 miles (4 km) away from the group of envoys of the Royal Lake. That meant that when he was with Prince Modric and Bast, two hundred people were killed not far from there. There were a few star-ranked warriors from the Kingdom of Thrace, but Fei felt nothing; normally, he would definitely feel it.
That's too horrible!
What rank warrior or mage could do this in silence?
And for what reason did the assailant kill the prince of the Kingdom of Thrace?
Fei felt that the situation was getting more and more complex.
He initially thought that after solving Hershzem's Assassin murder case, he would solve it. But from what he now knows, his hypothesis could not be further from the truth.
Fei suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
"Your Majesty ..... is this?"
That's Bast and Prince Modric. After waiting for a long time outside and not hearing the sounds of battle or Fei's call, they were alarmed and rushed in with the soldiers. They discovered that the situation was dead when they saw all the corpses on the ground.
“I didn't kill these people. When I came in, they were dead. ”
Fei frowned as he told them what he saw directly. Both Bast and Modric were terrified. After examining the corpse with magic armor lying at the end of the hall, Modric shouted, "This is Prince Okocha of the Kingdom of Thrace, and it has a four-star ranking ability. Who could cut his neck with just one punch? ”
Fei shook his head.
Blacky's dog sniffed around the hall, as if it was trying to find clues.
"Only a six-star rank master could do this, and there should be more than one. Otherwise, they could not have killed these many people without causing chaos. ”Modric surprised by his own findings.
"Your Majesty, how should we handle this?" Bast looked calm; however, he was a minister, not a soldier or general commander, so he was not used to bloody scenes like this. His face was pale and he tried hard not to vomit.
"Command everyone to retreat from the building, and then tell Brook to send soldiers to lock this place down. Don't let anyone else know what's going on here for a while, " Fei said. It seems to be the only thing that can be done.
The situation is getting more complicated.
Fei was convinced that Chambord was somehow unknowingly involved in the great demon conspiracy. If it really was a six-star rank master who carried out this Thrace Massacre, then one of them could easily tear apart Chambord.
The residence of a group of envoys of the Kingdom of Thrace is quickly locked down by Brook and the soldiers.
Fei ordered some forensic doctors to investigate the scene at night, hoping that these doctors could find a clue that was ignored. These bodies should be immediately buried or burned. Although it was already late autumn, these corpses had to be dealt with immediately, just in case they smelled or decayed faster than expected and caused a plague-like illness.
When Fei, Bast, Modric and the soldiers returned to the residence of the Royal Envoy of Lake Kingdom, a Lake warrior rushed to them and reported, "His Majesty, King Alexander, that, …. . the prisoner was named Hershzen! ”
Everyone was surprised by the news.
"Dead? How did he die? "Fey asked angrily.
After the entire group of envoys from the Kingdom of Thrace were killed, the only possible clue they could get about the situation should come from the captive soldiers related to this earth. Fei planned to interrogate Hershzen immediately, but no one could have imagined that the traces of the latter situation would end up like this.
“It was suicide. He hid the poison pill in his mouth. After you guys left, he died from that poison, ”
the soldier explained.
Fei headed towards the hall with a straight face.
Hershzen who was severely injured by him was clearly dead. There was a white foam on his lips; it was an after effect of poison. His expression was stiff and fierce. The skin on his head turned black, and black blood flowed out from the crack in his head. His lips and throat also turned purple. This indicates that Hershzen did die from poison, a deadly poison. The white foam dripping from his lips had corroded and formed a hole in the stone floor.
“Last clue ..... is missing. ”
Fei felt like there was an invisible hand controlling everything. He could see everything that was happening, but there were no clues left behind. It seemed like that invisible hand also affected what he was doing to the degree where he felt controlled.
Fei suddenly recalled something as he stared at Hershzen's ugly dead face. He crouched down, swung his hand, took out a small bottle from the Barbarian storage room hissing, carefully collected some samples of white foam on Hershzen's lips and stuffed the bottle back into the storage room.
“Because he's dead, he no longer has value. Brook, send someone to throw this body into the residence of the Thrace Envoy Group, and deal with the rest of the corpses together ... Careful, this corpse contains a deadly poison, ”Fei signals Brook.
Brook was a bit surprised; he took Hershzen's own body with the help of a soldier.
When Fei returned to the King's Palace, it was already midnight.
Fie was still thinking about what happened today. There were too many things happening today; everything happened so quickly that it was unbelievable. He thought over and over and became even more afraid when he did. More and more powerful masters quietly entered Chambord. Even a six-star rank master had shown himself. Fei could smell the conspiracy.
"Why did these people come to Chambord?"
Fei thought on the stone chair, "Are the mystical ruins exposed?"
That's not realistic. If that happened, then the underground cavern in the back mountain would be chaotic now. But the truth is that it was the quietest place in Chambord for the past few days, Fei could not come up with any other reason why so many powerful warriors and magicians could come here. The Coronation Ceremony for a level six affiliated kingdom was not that interesting.
Fatigue caught up with Fei; he slowly fell asleep as he processed the information.
The next day .
There were only two more days before the Coronation Ceremony.
After enjoying breakfast in the cheerful laughter of Angela and Emma, Fei watched the two girls leave the palace mysteriously; they said that they were preparing some kind of gift for the ceremony.
As Fei was getting ready to enter Diablo World to raise his murderous character, Warden Oleg rushed frantically with Palace Guard Michelle-Barak.
"Your Majesty, someone broke into the forbidden area of the back mountain last night,"
The fatty shouted as he rubbed the sweat on his forehead.
"What's? Tell me more! ”Fei was surprised; suddenly she thought of something terrible. He was afraid that what he was afraid of would actually happen.
