I really can't control myself

"Garsain? What happened?" Linton asked immediately. Linton could tell from the maid's expression that it was obviously not a good thing.

"Sir Sword Master, Duke Gasein seemed to have been stabbed a few days ago, but I don't know the specific situation." The maid here replied tremblingly.

"Hey, why is it that every time I come back, someone is assassinated?" Linton held up his forehead, "How popular is assassination here? How are people doing now?"

"I really don't know," the maid said immediately.

"Okay, where is Yalan?" Linton asked.

To find out the situation, naturally you have to go to Yalan. After ascending the throne, Yalan basically stayed in the palace and would not go out. Of course, Linton quickly went to find her.

Linton also thought about it for a while on the way over. The assassination of Garserne was quite strange. Of course, that does not mean that it is impossible. They have offended a lot of people recently. Wasn't Linton just worried about Garserne before? If something happens, he will go to the people from the Holy Association. However, Linton has already made arrangements. In particular, he has asked the You Brigade to protect Garsain. Linton was a little surprised that something could happen.

Gasein's current strength is very strong. Under normal circumstances, even a saint-level person would have to spend some effort to deal with Gasein. Plus You Brigade and You Brigade's newly recruited younger brother, it won't be easy to assassinate him. So this is the work of the Holy Association? But the current news seems to be an assassination. According to Linton's understanding, although the people from the Holy Association are not good people, they probably can't do things like assassination. They also want to lose face. But apart from them, there were others who could assassinate Garsain, so Linton felt that this was indeed a bit strange.

Of course, according to the maid, Garsain was only injured and was not stabbed to death. However, Linton didn't think it would matter much if he was really dead anyway, so he had better ask about the situation first.

Linton found Yalan in the garden. At this time, Yalan was calmly reading and studying. Linton went up to take a look and found that the other party was actually studying prenatal education and infant care courses.

"Yes... yes?" Linton asked in surprise.

"Not yet, but it would be better for me to start studying early." Yalan said.

"MD made me excited for a long time," Linton said.

"Who is this...?" Yalan asked, pointing to Asuna behind Linton.

Linton was stunned for a moment and realized that Asuna had been following him. The robot moved without any breath or sound, which made Linton almost forget about her.

"Her name is Asuna. I borrowed it from someone else. I have something to work with her for the time being." Linton said simply.

"Hmm..." Yalan showed a strange expression, and then looked at Asuna up and down.

"No, what's the matter with that strange look in your eyes?" Linton held his forehead, "If I want to find another woman, I must at least find someone who can be considered a woman. Even though this guy looks like this, he is just a tough guy. It’s just a shell.”

"What does that mean?" Yalan asked.

"It's a robot, made of iron," Linton said.

"Hmm..." It was obvious that Yalan didn't quite understand the concept of a robot.

"To be precise, it's not iron. My frame is made of titanium alloy..." Asuna said.

"The robot can't understand it anymore. Do you still want to explain the concept of titanium alloy?" Linton said, "You change back first."

Asuna nodded, and her body quickly changed. The liquid metal covering her body was retracted, turning into the shape of a mechanical skeleton. Seeing this unprecedented situation, Yalan here was also shocked.

"In short, you can understand that the iron skeleton soldiers are covered with a camouflage shell." Linton said, and Asuna here also quickly changed back to Asuna's state again.

"That... that... is also a necromancy spell?" Yalan asked.

"Uh... just think of it like this," Linton said.

"Then... why did she become like this?" Yalan asked.

"Who made her become like this? It's not me at all, okay? As I said just now, this guy borrowed it, and the producer is not me." Linton said.

"So I borrowed it from other necromancers to study necromancy, does that mean?" Yalan asked.

"So... right, but now the necromancer who made her has disappeared. I am also looking for this mage, and she is also looking for her master, so we both have the same purpose and are cooperating now." Linton explained along with the meaning. road.

"So that's it." Yalan nodded, and then said to Asuna, "Don't worry, since Linton promised to help you find your master, he will definitely do it."

"I understand." Asuna understood quickly and nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of which, can't you change it to a slightly less conspicuous shape?" Linton said, "It's a liquid metal shell anyway, so the shape can be changed at will, right?"

"Sorry, forgive me for refusing. This is the look my master set for me, and I refuse to change it," Asuna said.

"Suddenly it feels like your function has been reduced by 50%." Linton said.

"Yes, I understand. Master also said that my greatest advantage is that I can transform." Asuna nodded in agreement, "But I'm sorry, please forgive me for rejecting it again."

"As expected of the two-dimensional senior... Wait where does this all go?" Linton quickly said to Yalan, "I came to you to ask about Garsain's situation. What's going on?"

"Oh, are you talking about the assassination of Garsain? Don't worry so much. People from the Church of Light have sent people to go there. The treatment should go smoothly. He should not be in any danger at the moment." Yalan said .

"Have you found out who did it?" Linton asked.

Yalan shook his head: "No, I only know that the murderer is a saint-level assassin. If he is really an assassin, then the only organization with saint-level assassins in the entire continent is the Black Hand Guild."

"Black Hand Guild?" Linton asked.

"It is an underground organization that specializes in undertaking assassination tasks. This organization is very mysterious. Even I don't know the specific situation. But according to rumors, this organization has even assassinated saint-level people, so it should be a saint-level killer. , but the specific circumstances of this matter seem to be just rumors." Yalan said.

"There really is a League of Assassins." Linton held up his forehead.

"The Black Hand Guild operates underground, and the commissioned tasks are not public. There must be some special method. I don't know much about them, and they themselves are wanted by the entire continent. Is it really related to them? People who are related will not be exposed casually." Yalan said, "It is difficult to investigate this aspect, and there are currently no clues."

"It's so troublesome to investigate. It's possible that someone is specifically trying to blame them, right?" Linton said.

"Well, I suspect so too." Yalan said, "Actually, similar things have happened a lot before, and some people did try to get away with it in this way, but as far as I know, these people who framed the Black Hand Guild, Sometimes they die unexpectedly. It is said that these things are also done by people from the Black Hand Guild. So if someone really framed him in the Black Hand Guild, they may also be involved. I am also investigating this matter. "

"That's it." Linton nodded. This is a killer guild that doesn't like to suffer losses. "Anyway, I'm going to investigate. I don't know who is looking for death and dares to attack my nephew. If it is really this, what is it?" The Mafia Guild did it, and I have to find out who the client is."

When it comes to investigation, it is natural to go directly to Garsain to ask about his situation. Linton is also planning to go to You Lv first to settle the accounts. He is asked to see how something can happen if someone is left to him. But just as he opened the portal and was about to leave, Yalan stopped Linton again.

"Wait, there is one more thing." Yalan said.

"What?"

"It's about the Continental Congress." Yalan said.

"Continental Congress?" Linton asked.

"The Holy Association took the lead and invited all the countries in the continent to hold a meeting. Of course, I was also invited, and you were also invited." Yalan said, "Before, the people from the Light Church and I After saying hello, the main topic of this Continental Congress is about the Church of Cthulhu."

"Oh?" Linton was stunned for a moment, and he probably understood the meaning. Didn't Linton go to the Holy Association to express that he seemed to want to lead the entire continent to fight against the coming dark invasion, that is, the Church of Cthulhu? It seems that this Continental Congress was held for this reason.

However, Linton was talking about asking people from the Holy Association to join him and help him fight against the invasion of dark forces, but the other party directly convened the Continental Congress, which was obviously preparing to seize the initiative. They were originally Linton's younger brothers, but now they are taking the lead in bringing together the power of the entire continent. The two are obviously different. As expected, these guys are not that easy to deal with.

Of course, even so, it is impossible for these guys to completely ignore their existence. Linton feels that the Continental Congress has some headway. After all, if it really forms an organization that can guide the voice of the entire continent, he will do something else by himself in the future. Things are much more convenient, the simplest ones are module promotion, and the scope of influence is not just within the coverage of the Church of Light.

After thinking about it, Linton decided to go to the Continental Congress. Not only that, it would be best for him to get an important position back, which would be convenient for him to do anything in the future. As the current pioneer in the fight against the Cthulhu Association and the holder of the Book of Sealing, Linton feels that this matter can be accomplished.

"I'll ask someone about this first, but now I'd better go and see how my nephew is doing," Linton said.
