Shaman from Afar
Vol 4 Chapter 20: Tricky Feast (Part 2)
Late at night, the Sky Dome.
When the rushed Metternich Leopold stepped into the dormitory, Eckhardt II, who had put on a loose robe, had been waiting for him behind his desk for a long time.
"Your Majesty, your Royal Cabinet member, Lord Chancellor of the Treasury, Siscott Zahn, unfortunately died when he just went to the Royal Wizards College for a feast and returned to the arms of the Holy Cross!"
"The Wizarding Academy ... I'm afraid it's already in a mess." Eckhart II couldn't see any shock in his face, and said in a very flat tone:
"How is the situation, is there any eyebrows?"
"It has not been ascertained that a garrison corps has been dispatched to investigate, and Lord Victor Hughes, the former magistrate, is in charge of investigating the matter." Metne Leopold, who had a serious expression, hesitated, but spoke Road:
"In addition, Lord Albert, the former wizard advisor, and ... His Royal Highness Brandon de Salion are all present."
"Metternich ..." Eckhart II raised his sharp eyes coldly:
"Are you suggesting something to me?"
"No way!"
Looking at the firm-minded Minister of the Seal, Eckhart II simply shook his head: "At this point, no matter how panicked it is, it doesn't help ... Anyway, be sure to find out the truth."
"Observe the order." Minister Zhang Xi immediately responded.
Just the moment he turned away, the emperor behind him spoke again:
"Additionally ... I want you to prepare the list, I hope it's already in sight."
Metternich's figure froze and turned away from His Majesty the Emperor: "About the list of the next Chancellor of the Exchequer ... I will deliver it to you tomorrow morning."
"Still waiting for a few days to see which clowns jump to take the initiative." Eckhart II's voice was very deep and deep:
"No matter what the outcome is, we must be prepared."
…………………………………………………
The dark-haired wizard stared at the figure falling in the pool of blood, his hands protecting the small wizard behind him.
At one quarter of an hour, the huge banquet hall was dead for a whole hour, and a pair of wide-eyed eyes stared inexplicably at the heroic "Siscott Zahn" adult who had begun to cold body, wondering if he was in a dream in.
The trembling, blood-stained young man of the Zahn family knelt in the pool of blood, clutching the old man's falling cane tightly ...
The eminent nobles of the empire, the former minister of finance, the leader of the old nobles, an old fox that lived for 76 years ...
That's it ... I don't know what happened?
Frowning, Loren immediately turned his gaze to Grey Thrall, but the middle-aged wizard was also pale; even the master Albert Tarot who stood up actively made a calm expression. Dull eyes, a look of trance ...
For real wizards, loss of reason is a precursor to danger ... Even if it is really an academy, this turmoil should not be in their plans.
Almost at the same time, the dark-haired wizard thought of another more terrible situation.
The former former Chancellor of the Exchequer died at the Royal Wizard College ... no matter who moved his hand, as long as he had a little relationship with the college ...
The consequences could be disastrous!
When the entire banquet hall was in chaos, the gate was forcibly opened again; the soldiers who stepped neatly stepped into the hall, and rudely pushed the wizard apprentices who were blocking the outside.
Frowning frown, Loren raised his head to look at the person who was coming, it was the garrison legion of the imperial capital of Golovin.
"Following the orders of the former cabinet, we will take over here from now on!" The legion with a serious expression walking at the front shouted loudly:
"We received a report that an assassin killed the former former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Siscott Charne!"
"No one can leave until the investigation of the entire incident is completed and there is conclusive evidence and the murderer!"
As the words fell, almost everyone in the hall suddenly changed his face; a look of amazement flashed in the corner of Loren's eyes, and turned to look at the solemn officer.
wrong……
From Siscott ’s death to now, there is not even an hour, and it is still midnight; the garrison can actually rush to send the investigation personnel within a few minutes?
And listening to his tone, it seems that the whole incident has been characterized as a "homicide".
A serious officer walked straight to Albert Tarot, the former wizard advisor of the imperial wizard. He didn't even look at the fallen Siscott, who had fallen to the ground, and said coldly:
"I'm very sorry, Master Yuqian Wizard Advisor-also please open the whole college, let us start searching and arresting the prisoner immediately!"
Although it was a polite tone, the other party did not give Albert the opportunity to protest. With a long sword in his hand, the soldiers on both sides of the garrison immediately stepped forward and pulled out the long sword uniformly, killing all over!
The trembling little wizard subconsciously pressed the "bright silver" around his waist, but was stopped by the dark-haired wizard next to him, and shook his head gently.
No, I can't do it now, otherwise I can't tell.
"Does it really make sense, why should we ..."
The pale-faced Grey Thrall stood up, and was stopped by Albert Tarot before he finished. The former wizard consultant still spoke softly:
"Master Officer, if we promised your terms ... I'm afraid it won't be too long tonight. The Royal Wizards College will become the murderer of Lord Siscott Zahn?"
The expressionless officer's eyes were cold: "Sorry, I don't understand what you mean."
"Sir Scott Charn arrived at the Royal Wizards College just an hour ago; he was just here tonight, he didn't attend the banquet at all."
Master Albert glanced at the remains on the ground and sighed regretfully: "In other words, even the wizards and all the guests present did not have the opportunity to do anything even if they really wanted to."
"What's more, Lord Siscott's trip was originally to announce the Empire's funding for the Academy this year." How could we at this time, "specially" choose the Minister of Finance who assassinated the Empire in the Academy? "
The officer's expression was stunned for a while, and it was obviously a speech jam.
"Instead, it was the guy who specially sent you a letter and provided obviously misleading comments. It seemed more suspicious."
The words fell, and the kind Master Albert put his hands in front of him, his eyes calm: "Master Officer, what do you think?"
The officer squeezed his mouth tightly and seemed to be blocked from speaking.
He did get the hint above, and he should give an answer as soon as possible ... All the banquets at the Royal Wizarding College were full of noble children, distinguished and rich people, and leaders of various guilds and families.
Want to detain them to find certification and physical evidence, it can only be now!
Looking at this seemingly kind, but practically unrestrained imperial wizard advisor, the officer was extremely heavy ... I thought I found a great opportunity to climb up, but I fell into the abyss that I couldn't climb out.
"Since this is the case ..." Suddenly, the dry-talking officer desperately suppressed the irritability in his heart: "Can you please cooperate with us and investigate the guests present one by one, so that we can find the murderer who killed the former Minister of Finance as soon as possible . "
Seeing that the other party finally lowered his attitude, Master Alber nodded slightly, his expression solemn:
"Of course ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ this is what we should do-let the distinguished guests die at the banquet, the Royal Wizards College is duty-bound!"
"Please also all of you here to cooperate with these loyal garrison soldiers-the death of Lord Siscott Zahn, is the loss of the Yuqian Cabinet and the entire Saqran Empire. Regardless of the result, we must give our loved ones the loss. The Zahn family, and even the empire and the emperor, give an explanation! "
When the words fell, Master Albert patted the young man of the Zahn family and sighed and turned to leave. The guests present also began to divide the two rows according to the orders of the guards and waited for inquiries.
Just as the dark-haired wizard was about to leave with the crowd, his sleeve was suddenly pulled; his eyes moved slightly, only to realize that Grey Thrall was standing behind him:
"Something?"
"Lord Loren Turin, please be sure to tell your Highness." The middle-aged wizard lowered his voice and gritted his teeth to a very pale face:
"If the Royal Wizard College can successfully survive this disaster ...
All the wizards from above and below the emperor will stand behind him without hesitation! "
