Chapter 16 Assassination

Bang~~~~~ The falling wine jar collided with the sudden cold light, making a dull sound.

The strong wine jar cracked and the wine spread all over the ground. The cold light also revealed its true body. It turned out to be a short green arrow. Although the short arrow deviated from its track under the impact of the wine jar, its owner was obviously a master. Although it was blocked, the short arrow still stabbed into Chu Tian's chest.

The sound of the broken wine jar and the severe pain in the chest made Chu Tian wake up suddenly, and a thought flashed through his mind: You must never give the killer a second chance!

Holding the severe pain, Chu Tian rushed towards the intersection outside the alley. The moment he moved his feet, his hands were not idle. He took out several protective scrolls from the ring one after another, and smashed them all on himself! Chu Tian ran and shouted loudly: "There is an assassin! Killing!" In the quiet night sky, the cry for help spread throughout half of Pompeii.

The facts proved how wise Chu Tian's actions were. The scroll was smashed down and several layers of colorful protective covers appeared on Chu Tian's body, wrapping Chu Tian in it. At the same time, three cold lights lined up and rushed towards Chu Tian again.

Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Three crisp and pleasant sounds came, and with the sound, three short arrows were knocked aside by Chu Tian's protective cover.

The earth was shaking! The residents in the alley were awakened by the vibration. Several families had already lit up their lights. The families that did not lit up were all old residents of Pompeii. They all knew clearly that this vibration meant that something happened to the imperial capital that they were not qualified to know. They would never stand out at this time because: the royal cavalry of the Caesar Empire has arrived!

The deafening sound of horse hooves was mixed with the shouts of the officers. Finally, I saw someone! I never felt that Caesar's soldiers were so kind. Chu Tian in the protective cover let out a long breath, causing a faint pain in his chest. After the mysterious killer failed again, he seemed to have discovered that the magic cover on Chu Tian's body was unusual, so he did not take action again.

"Marquis Vladino, how are you?" The leading soldier jumped off his war horse, walked to Chu Tian, ​​greeted him with concern, obviously knowing Chu Tian.

"Praise the goddess of life! I'm fine, thank you for arriving in time!" After a pause, Chu Tian said quickly: "Closing this place immediately! Be sure to catch the murderer!"

"After hearing the cry of help from the lord, I had already blocked this alley as soon as possible!"

"Yeah, it's very good!" Chu Tian nodded, causing another pain in the wound!

"What's your name?" The officer's reaction ability made Chu Tian very satisfied. He looked at the neat army behind him, and hundreds of cavalry were crowded on the narrow road but did not look messy at all. Chu Tian praised in his heart: It's a talent!

"The last general, Peppa, a fourth-level bronze knight, belongs to the Imperial Guard. He is currently the commander of the Imperial Capital Guard." After saying that, Peppa straightened his body, clenched his fist with his right hand, pressed his left chest, and saluted Chu Tian. The imperial law stipulates that Caesar's Iron Cavalry has the right not to bend to anyone!

"I will remember you!" Chu Tian nodded and smiled, unexpectedly pulling the wound again.

I looked at the short arrow that was still stuck in my chest: more than two feet long, with green all over the body, and the fiery red arrow feathers. At this moment, Chu Tian's blood was gushing out along the arrow body!

Because of excessive blood loss, Chu Tian's face was a little pale. As a veterinarian, Chu Tian certainly knew what excessive blood loss meant.

He gritted his teeth and held the arrow's tail with his back hand. "Hmph!" With a low hum, Chu Tian suddenly pulled out the short arrow, and a stream of blood spurted out.

After a brief treatment of the wound, Chu Tian looked at the weapon in his hand and sighed: "It's so cruel!" The short arrow turned out to be a triangular arrow! The three blood troughs were stained with fresh blood stains!

The soldiers around were shocked by Chu Tian's actions. In their impression, no priest was as fierce as Chu Tian, ​​who dared to pull out his sharp weapon without using anesthetics! Invisibly, Chu Tian's image rose several steps in the hearts of the surrounding imperial guards!

"Oh! Isn't this Marquis Fradino? What's wrong? What happened?" Suddenly, an old man with white hair and dressed in a servant pushed away the crowd and walked to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian looked up and found that he was the old housekeeper of the right prime minister Andorra, Dirk.

Chu Tian once met Old Dirk at a family banquet in Andorra. At that time, Dirk, who was smart and capable and decent, left a good impression on Chu Tian.

With a bitter smile, Chu Tian said, "So it's you," he stuffed the short arrow into his arms and continued, "How come you are here?"

"Oh, our master sent me out of the city to do business this morning. Now I just came back, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing." Dirk looked at Chu Tian's wound, shook his head, and said regretfully: "Who has such a great hatred for you, Lord Marquis? You actually hurt you like this!"

"I have just been in the imperial capital for three months. How can I offend anyone? Maybe the murderer recognized the wrong person. I still have to go to heal my wounds. You should always ask me!" Chu Tian was perfunctory. Now he was not in the mood to chat!

"Then I won't delay the treatment of the Marquis. I'll leave first." Dirk saluted Chu Tian, ​​turned around and left.

Looking at Dirk's back and his staggering steps, Chu Tian's eyes were shining brightly, and he sneered in his heart: The old thing came too coincidental...

————————————————————

The news of the assassination of Marquis Vladino shocked the entire imperial capital. Leading by Canas, the whole city was searched for three days, but nothing was found, and the murderer seemed to have disappeared.

The three giants of the Supreme Command of the Empire - the War Minister Makori, the Magic Minister Damar, the Warcraft Minister Best, and the Intelligence Director Barry, were standing in Ludi III's study, facing His Majesty the Emperor respectfully. On the table in front of Ludi III was the short arrow that stabbed Chu Tian!

Five people are holding an emergency meeting on the assassination of Chu Tian!

Ludi III now attaches great importance to Chutian. On the Phantom Beast Continent, the quality and quantity of monsters represent the highest strength of the country. Without monsters, there would be nothing, which has become the consensus of the kings of all countries. Recently, problems arise in Red Flame and 100,000 unicorn war horses have occurred one after another. After the quality and quantity of the imperial monsters suffered significant losses, all the small countries that surrendered showed signs of instability, and their mortal enemy Reis was even more ready to move. These made the ambition Ludi III very upset.

At the critical moment, Chu Tian appeared, and all the problems were solved in his hands. In his hands, the empire restored its strength to stand out in the mighty heroes, and the border became quiet. The monsters determine the fate of the country! Chu Tian determines the fate of the monsters! In this case, how could Ludi III not pay attention to Chu Tian?!

In Ludi III's heart, Chu Tian has become a very important part of his plan to dominate the mainland! So Ludi III spared no effort to win over Chu Tian, ​​not only promoted him from a civilian to a marquis within three months, but also acquiesced and even secretly supported Chu Tian's pursuit of his only sister! Otherwise, how could Serena accept Chu Tian so quickly!?

Of course, Ludi III was smart, and Chu Tian was not stupid either. He vaguely guessed His Majesty’s thoughts. Only then did Chu Tian dare to passively slacken in all aspects and let go of his hands and feet to pursue his lover!

Ludi III looked gloomy, stared at the short arrow, and shouted: "Barry! What did you find out!?"

Intelligence Director Barry took a step forward and lowered his head: "The subordinates are incompetent and have no clues." Seeing that Ludi III's face became even more gloomy, he added: "The only thing I know now is the assassin's weapon. Judging from the image of this short arrow, it should be a weapon for the elf archer. According to the situation mentioned by Marquis Vladino, I think the murderer should be at least an elf master with a level 6 Golden Archer or above!

However, since the demise of the Elf Kingdom, the Elf tribes have scattered in various countries on the mainland, and the masters have no fixed place to live and are difficult to count. Therefore, it is difficult for subordinates to find out for a while."

Ludy III nodded, agreeing with Barry's statement. His eyes swept over the other three people and finally fell on Best, the Minister of Warcraft: "Best, is it possible that it was made by other high-level monsters?"

"Your Majesty, after receiving the news, my subordinates have mobilized two eighth-level monsters to investigate on site, but they have not found the aura of the advanced monsters. However, it is not ruled out that the murderer is a ninth-level monster that can hide the aura. If that is the case, only if His Majesty mobilizes Kuyata and Chiyan can investigate clearly!"

"Forget it, Chiyan is still practicing in Mount Agula. Kuyata is definitely unwilling to do such a small thing. Let's discuss this matter again!" Ludi III was also helpless. Chiyan, who obeyed Kanas, was not there. Kuyata served the empire through an equal contract, and could only call it by himself unless a large-scale war was made.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has some opinions." Ludi III turned his head and saw that it was the old general Marcoly, who was known as the imperial civil and military walls together with the left prime minister Greming. "Old Marshal, what do you think?"

"The Marquis of Vladino should not be stabbed by a high-level monster. Now the main war monsters of various countries are under the strict surveillance of the Intelligence Bureau. Most of them are huge in size. Once they sneak into the imperial capital, there are no traces. As for the ninth-level monsters that can transform into humans, there are only six people who obey the orders of the countries in the mainland. Among them, only Anka of the Kingdom of Elson and the Red Flame of our country have the main monster pets. Elson has always had good friends with our country and will not risk being attacked by the Imperial Cavalry. The other four people were conquered through contracts, so they could not do assassination.

Therefore, the old minister believes that this incident may have been made by the enemy country bribed the masters of the elves. At present, the biggest enemy in our country is the Reis Empire in the south and the Tianhai of the east, and the most likely one is the Reis Empire. Although Marquis Vladino served for the country for only three months, he made many extraordinary achievements, especially because he had made contributions to Caesar's war horses, he also indirectly threatened Reis. After all, our iron cavalry poses the greatest threat to the Reis Empire. The Tianhai Country is across the sea from our country, so there is no need to be afraid of our cavalry. Therefore, this incident is very likely planned by Reis to weaken our country's strength!"

Rece! Ludi III chanted this name with gritted teeth!

"Well, what the old marshal said makes sense. Damar, what do you think?" Ludi III suddenly felt a little neglected Damar, and turned to the lovely magic minister.

At this time, Damaar was already drowsy by his colleagues' analysis and didn't hear what they were saying clearly. He just listened to the sermon in a daze, as if the Reis Empire had angered His Majesty again. However, after being with Chu Tian for so long, Damaar still learned some of Chu Tian's fur.

Repeatedly thinking about the way of becoming an official taught by Chu Tian, ​​Damaer stood up solemnly, with a serious face and a little indignation, and said with a righteous voice: "I agree with the opinions of all the adults! The wolfish ambition of the Les Empire, and my heart will not die, and I dare to offend Your Majesty's face. But the itch of scabies will not require Your Majesty's power. I am willing to raise a side teacher to get the head of Emperor Les Teron to offer to Your Majesty!"

The powerful words were loud and loud! It seemed that I never knew the magic minister in front of me, and the other four were all stupid. Is this still the confused Damar?

Looking at the shocked look of the emperor and his colleagues, Damar smiled in his heart: The way of being an official taught by Vladino is really effective! First, colleagues who are smarter than themselves are always right, and they must agree even if they don’t understand them! Second, Your Majesty is always wise and powerful, and Your Majesty’s enemies are always despicable and shameless. You must always praise Your Majesty and curse the enemy! Third, you must rush to do an impossible important task! Anyway, Your Majesty will not really let yourself go to the battlefield!

Ludi III woke up first and glanced at Damar strangely: "Your dear is loyal, but this matter involves many things, and you cannot be allowed to go to the battlefield for the time being."
