Quadruple split

thirty minutes later

The envoy from the Violet Royal Family appeared at Mercury Court as expected, along with members of the Fire Claws who were participating in the joint investigation team. Their faces were not very good-looking.

"You stay here and learn about the situation."

Futaba gave a simple explanation to Lewen and Cassie behind him, and then left the Mercury Courtyard with the silent envoy. In the process, he did not even ask those people how much they knew. Point situation survey participants half a sentence.

In fact, she really didn't need to ask, because the previous signs had already indicated too many things, so instead of rushing to find out more information before returning to the Purple Jiu Hall for the meeting, it was better to simply not ask anything and use her own to meet that storm at the same pace...

That storm was unplanned, unexpected, and unreasonable, but it seemed destined to happen.

Reality is so unreasonable. It will turn most of your worries and concerns into reality. It will magnify a tiny loophole infinitely. It will destroy a hundred-secret plan on just one. It will destroy people. All kinds of worries and uneasy assumptions turned into reality.

Because of this, when Futaba realized that he had forced the opponent into a dead end without any backup means or plan, he was also prepared that he would also be forced into a dead end.

That's why Futaba can now keep calm from the bottom of her heart. She has lost her temper too many times for various reasons since entering this game, and she has decided not to be bound by emotions anymore...

But five minutes after the calm-looking girl stepped onto Crown Avenue, an extremely bad message from a friend still shook her calmness and indifference.

'Hey! Your expression is really ugly. Why don't you give me a smile? ’

【Tan Mo! ! 】

Staring at the sender's name in the message column, the girl instantly summoned a mage's eye above her head with a field of view of 360 degrees. With her long-term tempered ability, she could observe six stations at the same time. Display and never miss a single useful message with dynamic vision and instant memory to reach conclusions quickly.

[Sixteen passers-by, nine men and seven women, eleven hidden places where they could observe my expression within five seconds, four of which were perfect hiding places, but none of them could pose a direct threat to me. Because of the presence of the Redbud envoy in front of me, pedestrians on the roadside deliberately kept a distance from us. In this case, that bitch who was not in the top 100 of the combat power rankings should not have the chance to kill me with one strike, but It's just 'should'. Since he can stabilize me in the overall strength rankings, there is no guarantee that he will not have some big killer in his hands. The enemy is clear and we are secret, Cassie is not around, and there is no time to eliminate it step by step. , the royal envoy can be used, but if that guy BLACK is fully prepared... Damn it, why is it at this time...]

Futaba Yingya bit her teeth lightly, but on the surface she remained calm. She just replied calmly with a message: "I've finished smiling for you, have you seen it?"

Two seconds later, she knew that her test this time was completely in vain, and her heart skipped a beat.

The guy who was playing a mutual killing game with him responded like this:

'Save it, your teeth are about to break. Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous. By the way, take away those two mage eyes that are flying at low altitude at a backlight angle. I'm not planning to kill you yet. Well, this sentence You have to analyze the truth of what I said, but having said that, seeing you being tricked by someone other than me is really a bit complicated. Hey~ How should I put it? In short, if you continue to be so stupid, the relationship we had before The bet should be voided... Black Sun should be disbanded... Anyway, I can't afford to lose that person. ’

[This damn bastard! He's already here! Maybe he has figured out the whole story! 】

Futaba clenched her little fists tightly, her pretty face, intellectual and elegant glasses, coupled with the protruding veins on her forehead were simply...

'Why! You are so cute! ’

Another message flashed out.

Futaba immediately became angry and replied viciously with at least 300 characters of curse words, and then closed the message bar. As the saying goes, out of sight is out of mind.

[Anyway, since he has said that, he probably won’t do anything to me in a short period of time. Phew, calm down, calm down, don’t let that bastard disturb you. Now you have to concentrate on preparing for the trouble in front of you, Buffy Marshall... Humph, can you be more difficult than that bitch...]

The girl exhaled fiercely, dispelled her extremely hidden mage eyes, and left behind her dead opponent who had touched Salamun at God knows when.

at the same time

An orc aunt carrying a basket of bread exhaled softly, put the gun loaded with [Alchemy Breaking Bullet] under the bread back into her bag, and whispered in a voice that only she could hear: "I really underestimated her. If I had moved faster or slower just now, I should have been discovered by the little girl who is 21st on the personal combat power rankings... But before I was ready to take action, Instantly summoning three mage eyes to monitor the entire street, is it because she is sharp enough, or because of something else..."

As one of the sixteen pedestrians who had just been seen by Futaba, Jiawen was the only one who noticed something strange about Futaba. At the same time, he also immediately discovered the three mage eyes that were summoned instantly. And that was exactly the second before she was about to attack. Although it was far inferior in all aspects, the [Silver Magic Breaking Bullet], which cost tens of thousands of gold coins alone, was said to be able to kill anyone in a sneak attack. She is a mid-level mage, and the golden pendant called "Farah's Gift" around her neck allows her to immediately move to a preset complete position after a blow, even if she has not completed the kill. Breaking away from self-protection, coupled with the invincible and legendary equipment [Thousand Faces], although it was just a temporary move, Jiawen's preparation for this sneak attack was flawless.

But the premise is a sneak attack...

When she saw the three Mage Eyes being summoned regardless of the skill CD, Jia Wen did not hesitate to give up her carefully prepared plan for more than twenty minutes, just like an ordinary passerby passing by. He found the best ambush position, and even after Futaba dispersed the detection spell, he didn't look back at her again.

Although the adventurous spirit is an essential quality for a successful businessman, it also requires a good deal as a prerequisite. So the moment she smelled the danger, Gawen decisively gave up the operation, even if the target still did not leave her. range, even if there are two backup attack points ahead.

[I hope that the Duke, who is not too stupid, can resolve everything at the meeting. After all, with my current position, there is no need to eradicate the roots for him~]

She smiled faintly and soon blended into the shadows of the alley.

…

"Who is that graceful aunt?"

Mo Tan sat by the attic window of a building on the left side of Crown Avenue that he rented two days ago, staring at Gawen's back with interest: "Did she want to do something just now? Is she an assassin from the Marshall family?"

Xiao Ai, who was standing beside him, pursed her lips and leaned forward: "Do you need me to investigate, sir?"

"You are not Cole." Mo Tan shook his head with a smile and put his feet on the wooden table in front of him that was filled with poisons, iron crossbows, daggers, blow darts, and steel wires: "Don't force yourself like an idiot. To do things that you are not good at, you just need to be a bystander."

The young priest nodded meekly and handed over the cup of coffee that had been kept warm by Yang Yan for half an hour: "It has reached its limit, sir."

"Yes, it's becoming more and more lasting."

Mo Tan took the coffee casually, raised his head and drank it all before waving to Xiao Ai: "You go back to Liuliting first, I will stay here for a while."

"yes."

The girl nodded slightly, then quietly went downstairs and left, leaving Mo Tan alone by the window, thinking deeply.

[The costumes of the locals in the aristocratic area are flawless...]

[The pace, deportment and various body details are in line with the age, without any flaws...]

[The high-quality fine wheat bread for two people is completely in line with their social status and regular meal time, without any flaws...]

[When I saw the Bauhinia envoy, I subconsciously felt nervous and frightened. When I looked at the girl, the curiosity that could not be hidden in her eyes was flawless...]

[Perfect to the extreme, but too perfect, but it is precisely because everything else is perfect that makes her little chubby hand that is always placed in the basket seem a bit inconsistent. What is hidden underneath? What? 】

[Killer? Dead soldier? Idiot? Third party force? Or is she a real passerby? 】

[If I hadn’t forced that girl to use her perception skills just now, what would have been the result? 】

Mo Tan smiled, licked the corners of his mouth that were stained with coffee, and laughed fondly...

“It’s getting more and more interesting~”

…

Game time AM11:35

Royal District, Purple Jiu Hall

Futaba, the third one to arrive, waited in silence for about ten minutes with Archduke Simon and Grand Duke Dantes. Baroka, Fernan, Crystal Wolf, Hussein and Archduke Marshall also returned to this place one after another. Except for the Crystal Wolf Grand Duke who hesitated to speak and glanced at Futaba, there was no more communication between the people.

A moment later, Cleve Crescen, the patriarch of the Violet family and the emperor of the empire, slowly walked into the Purple Nine Hall. He smiled at everyone present, then sat on the main seat in the middle and took the Two pieces of parchment came out...

"According to the report of Quanzi Rebo Cresian, slave trading does exist in the Marshall Territory. After investigation, two of the six slave hunting dens in Mercury City provided by the Fire Claw Territory are true. The investigation team initially determined that A large number of illegally imprisoned people were hidden in the cellar under the [Flaming Mother] tavern and the [Silver Scissors] tailor shop in Quicksilver City in a short period of time, and there is sufficient evidence that they were weak and abused."

Clairvaux paused slightly when he read this. However, because the lords present had basically understood the situation with their cronies before coming over, no one had any reaction. Although Futaba did not ask those from the Fire Claw leader. The members of the investigation team didn't say anything, but they sat there without saying a word, staring intensely at Grand Duke Buffy Marshall, who should have been as ignorant as themselves.

The latter noticed her gaze immediately and responded with a friendly and kind smile, which was completely different from the ferocious expression he showed at the end of the day when he was forcibly placed under house arrest in the Red Garden.

"I think we have good reasons to believe that the Fire Claw Leader and Ms. Futaba did not stir up trouble and deliberately create chaos." Emperor Clairvaux took a deep look at Futaba, nodded to her and said: "So the previous one is about I will no longer pursue the lies about the 'Plague in Misha County' incident."

The girl raised her index finger and pushed up her glasses, showing a sweet smile: "Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty."

Clairvaux nodded slightly, then picked up the second piece of parchment and continued reading: "However, the investigation team did not find any evidence in the above two places that could prove that this matter was related to the Marshall family, so although these two places The den is indeed consistent with the information provided by the Fire Claw Territory, but it is not enough to prove that the matter is directly connected to the Marshall family. In addition, the other four places are hidden in the intelligence: the sewers of the Central City of Mercury City, the Central City [Old The suspected slave-catching dens in the Lion Retired Knights Activity Center, the Trade Zone [Marshall Unified Chamber of Commerce], and the Trade Zone [Bettor Casino] were confirmed to be invalid. The investigation team found no suspicious signs at the above locations. As for the intelligence pointed out in the intelligence There are more than ten 'transfer stations', three of which are suspected of transporting 'black people' abroad, and they have all been abandoned. The other suspected targets are not suspicious... During the entire search process, the investigation team was in [Silver Scissors] A half-burned black book was found in the tailor shop. After preliminary restoration, it was discovered that the owner of the black book was related to a group located in the dark jungle outside the southern border of the empire. In order not to delay the time Crown Prince Ribo decided to leave one person each from the Baroka, Hussein and Simon families to arrest and investigate. Mr. Fudge, the internal affairs manager of Mercury City, and Mr. Penello, the leader of the Buffy Sword Knights, expressed that they would fully cooperate with the arrest. To arrest, the Marshall family will dispatch 100 members of the Buffy Sword Knights, 100 members of the Ice Veil Wizards and three members of the investigation team to go to Mirkwood. The estimated departure time is...tomorrow night, while the remaining members of the investigation team are in Ribo Under the leadership of the leader, we will return to Salamoon first.”

The emperor put the parchment in his hand on the table, looked around at the other people around the table, and said in a deep voice: "This is all what Ribo fed back to me. What do you think?"

In a tacit silence, Buffy Marshall stood up and bowed to Clairvaux...

"I have nothing to say, my beloved Majesty, Buffy Marshall is willing to plead guilty."
