The Virgin of Disguise

Ian hurried to the hall, and upon entering, he found that a dozen swordsmen had surrounded the center of the stage, and among them was a young man lying on the ground.

Ian recognized the identity of the man on the ground, Maurice, is Phoenix's cousin, the younger generation who was once favored by Pope Sulton, and is also considered to be Phoenix's strongest rival now, if it wasn't for Fei Nix has shown her skills in the selection of swordsmen, and it is hard to say who Sheldon favors now.

Wei Yushu was stopped by the swordsman, and she looked helpless: "I am a mage of light, maybe I can help Morris."

The swordsman didn't listen to the explanation, he stood in front of Wei Yushu all the time: "Sorry, Miss Phoenix, Master Guangming is not a doctor, we can't let you act rashly."

Wei Yushu looked helpless and anxious. She had just asked Shen Xi to help her get a glass of wine, but the original owner's cousin Morris came over to provoke her out of nowhere, as if she had used some insidious means to snatch Sheldon's attention from him. Without saying a few words, Maurice fell to the ground with a face full of pain, his hands tightly clutching the lapel of his chest. Later, when the swordsman came, he isolated her, and she didn't even have a chance to get close.

Moreover, in order to ensure the safety of the party, all the magic staff for the mage cannot be brought to the party. Except for the swordsman who guards the safety who can hold the sword, no one else can bring any weapons.

So Wei Yushu couldn't use the healing technique on Morris from the air.

The doctor came quickly, but it was too late, and Maurice was dead.

The people present were terrified and asked to leave the party one after another. A good birthday party turned into a murder scene.

The swordsmen immediately blocked the exit, and someone rushed to invite Pope Sulton.

It didn't take long to see Pope Sulton rushing over. He looked a little anxious, but he didn't lose his sense of proportion.

"What's the matter? What happened to Maurice?" After all, he was still his favorite grandson, and Shelton naturally cared about his life and death.

So when he saw Morris lying on the ground, his eyes widened, his lips trembled, and his gray beard trembled: "Who did it!"

The swordsmen knelt on the ground in a large area, and no one around them made a sound.

Wei Yushu sighed secretly, her suspicion could not be removed.

She took a step forward with a tired look on her face, "My lord, Maurice has become like this after talking to me a few words, I don't think he looks like he has been under a spell, maybe he was poisoned, you can Have someone check who is in charge of drinks tonight."

Sulton's usually amiable eyes stared at Wei Yushu, and Wei Yushu looked at him frankly.

Wei Yushu was the closest person to Morris before his death, and she and Morris were in a competitive relationship. Although there was a bit of blood relationship between them, the two had a bad relationship since they were young. It can be said that among their peers, there are very few Wei Yushu has a good relationship with the original owner of her body. After all, everyone doesn't like the so-called children of other people's families.

Wei Yushu was the most suspicious, but her attitude was the most frank.

Sulton turned his gaze away from Wei Yushu and told the swordsman to seal off the entire castle now and check each one one by one.

The guests were dissatisfied, and there were some powerful people among them. Shelton couldn't offend all of them. After checking whether most of them had poison on them, he immediately invited them away politely, and added Made some apologies.

Later investigations were mainly on Wei Yushu. The Holy See's knight team searched her room and the people she had contact with, including Shen Xi and others, but found nothing.

Of course, there was another person who did not find Edith.

As long as they found out that Edith was not suspected, Wei Yushu would be cleared of the suspicion.

But the problem is, Edith is missing.

She didn't come to the party, and there was no trace of her after that. No one saw her a few days ago.

The person who poisoned was found out. It was a waiter serving wine that night, but he committed suicide in the back kitchen.

Through his investigation, it was found that this person was not from Melles at all, but someone who came to Melles just a month ago. He used a forged document to pass through the city, and his identity was also forged.

The clues are broken here, and all hopes are pinned on Edith. As long as she doesn't participate, Wei Yushu's suspicion will be removed.

The point is, Edith is missing.

Just when everyone thought that Wei Yushu would be punished by Sulton, Wei Yushu was only under house arrest for a week at home. Sulton would come every day to ask Wei Yushu the details of that night. Wei Yushu showed no flaws, the only flaw was her disappearance Edith.

Shen Xi has also been interrogated many times. Since she is still a student of Cross Academy, and there is no clear indication that she is suspected, so the interrogation did not use torture.Wei Yushu is lucky to say that her children are punished with minor punishments, but Shen Xi cannot be hurt without making mistakes, especially after hearing that Shen Xi is the most talented in the new fire branch, and the fire branch's Chang is a person who can burn his temper at the slightest moment.

Shen Xi was worried that Wei Yushu would be punished, so she would go to see Wei Yushu every day. She was also worried that Wei Yushu would feel guilty or blame herself for her cousin's death, so she would chat with Wei Yushu until late every night before leaving.

Wei Yushu sent away Shen Xi who was comforting her, closed the door, and stood in front of the window.

Her room is often cleaned, and it is the room with the best lighting in the manor. Looking out of the window, you can see the whole manor.

Green vines climbed along the wall and into the window sill, and fresh small white flowers bloomed on the window sill. In addition to being close to wood mages, ordinary plants are also close to light mages.

Light elements usually feel warm and soft to creatures, with infinite vitality.

Wei Yushu found out on the first day back that the original owner's perception of the light element was unusually strong. A natural-born mage of light, such a person will definitely take the position of Pope Sulton in the end. This is Wei Yushu's intuition, but The price paid must not be as simple as marriage.

Sulton is very strong, but to be honest, he is not the strongest. Wei Yushu followed Sulton to church to pray, and met many priests of the Holy See. Among them, there are many stronger than Sulton, but they are just Just the archbishop.It is easy to understand the truth. People in power in every field are not necessarily powerful people. They are usually smooth and secular rather than professionally capable.

But now Phoenix, Wei Yushu, is not such a smooth and worldly person, she is too "kind", Wei Yushu wants to go higher, she can't be kind all the time.

What's more, there are still some people watching her.

Half a month later, Edith still didn't show up, and Wei Yushu had to go back to school in a few days. Naturally, the Grani family could keep their own family, but they couldn't keep Shen Xi.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Granny family did not make things difficult for Wei Yushu. Except for the first few interrogations, she was hardly interrogated. I don't know whether it was because Shelton trusted her purity too much, or because Shelton didn't give up at all. Unwilling to hold Wei Yushu accountable.

In short, Wei Yushu was sent back, and her escort became her father, Duke Ferdinand, a famous swordsman.

Most of Granny's cavaliers were bright knights, and they were all professionally trained swordsmen. There was no doubt about their loyalty, but it was strange that Ferdinand hated his daughter so much that he would come to escort her.

Wei Yushu and Shen Xi were sitting in the carriage, but Ferdinand didn't want to sit with them, so he rode outside.

Although Ferdinand is already the father of a child, he is about 40 years old, but he is handsome and handsome. He looks only 30 years old, mature and handsome.

Shen Xi was still a little annoyed, "Why is it that your father came to see us off? It's weird, he won't be sneering at you again, right?"

Wei Yushu patted her hand: "Don't worry, my father is a swordsman, he must be loyal and reliable."

Shen Xi muttered and said: "What's the matter, none of your relatives are normal, except for that grandpa who looks kind and friendly, the others are all weird."

Yes, the original owner is so gentle and kind, so why does her relatives always mock her?

Wei Yushu couldn't figure this out, so she simply didn't think about it. The most important thing now was to go back to Cross Academy. For some reason, Melles was her home, but she always wanted to go back to Cross. Safety.

Probably because the powerful mage Principal Caroline always gave people a sense of safety and reliability. Wei Yushu couldn't see what was hidden in her eyes, but Wei Yushu's intuition told herself that Caroline had no intention of harming her.

But this same amiable Pope Sulton was different. Wei Yushu felt the same kind of hostility in him.

On the contrary, Duke Ferdinand, who was always sneering at her, Wei Yushu didn't realize how scheming he was.

The carriage moved forward steadily. They did not use the teleportation formation this time, but drove the carriage in a carriage, which made Wei Yushu start to be vigilant.

Shen Xi seemed to have noticed this. She opened the window and looked outside. They had already left the city, and they were getting farther and farther away from the teleportation circle in the city.

Shen Xi asked Ferdinand who was riding a horse: "My lord, shouldn't we go to the teleportation circle?"

Ferdinand looked at Shen Xi like a fool: "Is this still a student of Cross Academy?"

Wei Yushu didn't expect Shen Xi to ask Ferdinand directly, she gently pulled Shen Xi's sleeve: "Shen Xi, the teleportation circle is really convenient, it can teleport people or things thousands of miles away in an instant, but it There is a fatal flaw. Once one of the start and end points of the teleportation circle is destroyed or tampered with, the person or object being teleported is likely to be torn apart during the teleportation process, or directly teleported to an unknown place , gone forever."

What else did Shen Xi want to ask, Wei Yushu shook her head at her, Shen Xi still listened to Wei Yushu's words very much, she closed the window with her mouth pursed, and asked Wei Yushu in a low voice: "Phoenix, what's wrong?"

Wei Yushu sighed helplessly, "The teleportation array is very convenient, but it is unstable in special periods and it will be fatal if we encounter danger. There is nowhere to escape. My father didn't take us to the teleportation array, presumably because he was worried that someone was teleporting." If we play tricks on the battlefield, then it means that we may be in danger."

Shen Xi suddenly realized, and covered her mouth in fright: "How could it be? Who would want to harm us?"

Wei Yushu stretched out a finger, touched Shen Xi's lips, and shook her head slightly.

Ferdinand snorted coldly outside, "Fenix, your friends are only at this level. Apart from yelling everywhere, they don't have any knowledge and skills. What kind of people have you met outside these years?"

Wei Yushu gave Shen Xi a comforting look, her voice was gentle yet thick: "Shen Xi is very kind and cute, and it is enough for me to be accompanied by my friends and cared by my relatives."

Ferdinand's face turned blue. Is this mocking him as a father who cares less about her than an outsider who has known her for a few months?

At this time, Ferdinand was out of breath for a few seconds, raised his hand, and shouted: "Stop!"
