Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1785 Questioning Tension
"Your Majesty Jellinis, I don't know—"

"you are?"

Jerynis glanced at Gru, frowning, as if recalling the identity of the dwarf in front of him, and seemed to be expressing his dissatisfaction.

"I'm Gru, the elder of the Huiyan clan, entrusted by King Pasteur to perform a secret mission here."

Gru could see that the other party had recognized him. After all, a hammer warrior who was active in public was no secret to all parties. Even the always proud Comanthor elves would not ignore it.

But he still didn't say that he was here to watch the scene, even if it was just for a temporary devil's challenge, he said that the other party might immediately put the responsibility for the disappearance of the prince on him.

Although Gru thinks that he also has certain responsibilities, but the instinct of human nature still makes him choose the statement that is most beneficial to him.

"It turned out to be Elder Gelu, then I would like to ask Your Excellency, why did you appear at the scene where Prince Searle disappeared?"

As for the random biting of the two guards, Gerinis naturally didn't take it seriously, but it could also be an excuse for him to question the dwarf in front of him.

Regarding this, Gru felt even more difficult, but he could only say: "When the incident happened just now, I was in another stand, and at least two spell casters shot at the same time, and one of them held me back, waiting for me to break through. When I came here, I only saw these two people who were imprisoned, and I just recovered them when you appeared."

"is it?"

Jelines actually agrees with this statement in his heart, but someone must be responsible for this matter. Except for the one who actually did it, isn't the dwarf hammer warrior in front of him the best candidate?

"What's the relationship between Elder Gelu and the Arena of Courage? Why didn't the people in the Arena show up, but you did?"

"this--"

Gelu cursed inwardly, knowing that he couldn't hide it, he could only say: "The Colosseum of Courage is the property of King Pasteur. I was entrusted by my king to come here to perform a task, so naturally I have the responsibility to take care of it."

"Oh--"

Jerry Niss raised his voice, then his face changed suddenly, and he asked in a very stern tone: "Do you know that Prince Serre is the favorite grandson of King Eliser! You must give Komanso an explanation for this matter! "

"Your Excellency Jerrynis, I am also very sorry that this happened, but the most important thing at the moment is not to hold anyone accountable, but to find clues to the attacker and get Prince Serre back as soon as possible. The other party did not directly kill him. Prince Serre, there is still hope for everything!"

"Humph!"

Knowing that he couldn't be too exaggerated, Jerinis snorted coldly, "Please Elder Gru to seal off the arena and confirm the identities of everyone who appeared in the arena today. As for this, I won't bother Elder Gru. "

Due to factors such as tradition and habits, dwarf mages are not as good at research and analysis as elf mages. In contrast, Jerynis is more willing to believe the results of his investigation.

Gru also knew this well, and then turned and left.

……

After Gru left, Jelinis hesitated for a while, and finally chose to contact the country, but he didn't go directly to the crown king, but to the high mage Alicante, the uncle of Prince Serre.

He briefly explained what happened, especially the situation that Prince Serre did not listen to his advice and left privately while he was busy investigating the ancient fortress.

Of course, accusations of poor protection of the Arena of Courage are also indispensable.

In fact, Jelinis knew that although he was apparently entrusted by the crowned king to look after Prince Seyre, his real mission was to investigate the newly discovered ancient fortress by Sluvand.

Taking care of the prince's experience is just something to do along the way. Even the king of crowns can't ask a high-ranking mage to protect a little prince at every step.

He had done his due diligence to be there within a few minutes of the prince's accident, and the only thing to worry about was the personal feelings of the prince's relatives.

……

It's just that although Jerynis joined the Crown King's camp, he was far from reaching the core of the Crown King's camp. He didn't know that soon after he sent the news back, Cormanthor almost messed up.

After Alicante received the news from Jelinis, he immediately met King Elithel. After that, the two families activated the high-level scouting circle without any hesitation, and at the same time invited the priest of the main god to participate in the prophecy.

Such a big commotion made the people of Cormanthor panic, especially those opponents of the crown king, who almost thought that the crown king was going to attack them.

It's just that the news came and went quickly, and Elisel received a report soon after, and couldn't find any direct clues to the attacker, but he was sure to find some indirect clues in the Arena of Courage.

So, almost half an hour after Prince Searle was attacked and disappeared, the high mage Alicante arrived at Asker himself with a capable investigation team.

……

Arena of Courage.

On the stand where Prince Serre stayed last before his disappearance, two golden elf mages from Cormanthor cast spells to amplify their perception to the extreme and maintain a high degree of fit with the magic net. In this way, they tried to restore the scene when the prince was attacked.

And in the other corner of this small stand, there are also two golden elf mages who are trying to find clues by other means.

In addition, there are Cormanthor elves participating in the investigation and even interrogation in other stands, as well as the temporarily detained spectators and gladiators in the arena.

At the same time, in the inner lounge of the arena, Gru saw the envoy sent by King Pasteur here, but the outside of the lounge was almost entirely occupied by elves and they were moving around unscrupulously, which made both of them look gloomy.

After a while of silence, the emissary spoke first, "Elder Gelu, the king attaches great importance to this matter, please cooperate with Comanso's investigation. In addition, the king asked me to tell the elder that he feels sorry for involving the elder in such disasters." I am so sorry."

Although Danzuo is called a kingdom and has a king who commands everything, the country is actually divided into different clans. There are connections between clans but not complete communication.

King Pasteur's name is "King", and in fact he is more like an external speaker jointly elected by various clans. Of course, the Red Copper Clan where King Pasteur belongs is the strongest in Danzo.

In addition, the original people of Danzuo all escaped from Santana in the south, and even quite a few of them came from the same clan, and they were divided into several different clans after the establishment of Danzuo.

In a sense, Gru and King Pasteur can be regarded as relatives, and Gru was not surprised to hear the apology from Pasteur conveyed by the envoy.

It's just that he was very dissatisfied with King Pasteur's way of allowing him to fully cooperate with Comanso's investigation, and even raised questions in front of the messenger:
"Prince Serre was attacked and disappeared in the arena. If Comanthor is allowed to investigate unilaterally, the result may not be good for us!"
