Teresia nodded to what Lance said.

But she reminded Lance with her eyes, indicating that the topic was not suitable for continuing in such public places. Lance immediately stopped the topic when she received her gaze reminder, but this signal of eye contact caused Fiona to increase the anxiety on her side.

In private, Teresia and Lance also discussed the candidates for manipulating this assassination. After all, in the abyss, the one who can produce this demon-sealing arrow is definitely a big name, and it is absolutely impossible for some ordinary little nobles. And those people would not have such a big show.

Lance suspected that this person was a lord, for example, like the lich leader Valend, which gave people a very sinister feeling. Although Lance had only seen him, the old guy who liked to hide his body and face in the shadows looked like a lord stabbing in the back. What's more, although Lance did not know Valend himself, he had dealt with his subordinates. For example, Murphysos and Kuka eroded a human kingdom, or the undead race gave people the impression of playing with power.

Of course, this is a prejudice, because Lance quickly pointed his finger at the Dark Elf's lord Zurfania and the vampire lord Famir. These two people are indeed related to the incident, so it is reasonable to doubt them. However, Teresia felt that such a straightforward clue seemed strange, because no matter the success or failure of the assassination, the doubtful eyes would immediately be placed on these two races. It would be fine for the Dark Elf, but the vampire...

"Then who do you think is more likely?" Lance asked.

Unlike Lance, who mostly speculates out of thin air, Teresia obviously needs to grasp the situation in the kingdom more accurately: "I think it's a person in the Demon King City."

"Are you saying..." Lance took a deep breath. But even he couldn't say the name so bluntly, because the identity of that person and what he controlled were so scary.

Teresia shook her head: "It may be someone else. But one thing is actually very clear."

“What is it?”

"I think those assassins are probably people in the Kingdom's assassination legion, which also explains the relationship between the woman named Yulica Casby and them. She is likely to be the person in charge of the incident, and Femis Mussifson should be unaware of it." Teresia replied.

"What's the benefit of her doing this?" Lance heard Teresia say this, and immediately thought of the woman who rode on him and strangled his neck that night. If this guy was a professional assassin, then it would be possible to explain that he could touch his room without anyone noticing - but it was not right. Since she and the assassins themselves were in the same group, why would she have to save herself?

Could it be that she really fell in love with her? Although Lance does have such confidence in seducing women, when she thinks of that woman and doesn't care about the twisted look of her life at all, Lance automatically filters out this idea.

Only the Queen continued to analyze: "If it is really assassination force belonging to the Kingdom as I assume, then the number of people who can order this force to be manipulated will never exceed two hands."

"Who are there?"

"Marson Barois, he commands all the troops, and this assassination unit is also under the jurisdiction of the Demon King Army, so it is also under his jurisdiction, but this old man is already old. Moreover, with the character of the Kingdom Wall, this method is generally not used. He is more inclined to solve problems on the battlefield, so his probability is very small. Moreover, I heard that this old man has been sick all the time and may die at any time when he is lying on the hospital bed. It is estimated that it is impossible for me to come and have a bad luck."

Lance did not answer, and listened to Teresia breathing and continued.

"The second one is Poperas, who is an adjutant of Barois, and his military position is quite high. In fact, when Marshal Barois is in decline, most of the military affairs are under his control. Of course, he is also suspected. I don't have much contact with this person, so it's hard to judge.

"The third one is Makakaro, who is the head of the Kingdom Assassination Department. If anyone can contact so many assassins to act at the same time, then his suspicion is the greatest. On the other hand, if he didn't know, it would be impossible to have such a large-scale operation today, so he is a breakthrough." Teresia said: "But it is not easy to find this guy. He never appears in formal occasions. I have never even seen him. It is said that this man has a thousand faces and is very good at disguise and disguise. By the way, no one knows his gender. There is only one name that looks like a man. Of course, this one is probably also a pseudonym."

Lance sighed. He thought there was really a clue just now, but he didn't expect that he would be in vain: "So can you put pressure on him through the top leaders of the kingdom?"

"I'm afraid not." Teresia said: "One, there is no evidence, two, don't forget that those who can control Makakaro will not have a low status. After all, the Kingdom does not trust me, and the contract between me and the Kingdom of the Abyss is actually not binding. Let us choose the way of living together in this way, which is just in the interests of both of us, and that's all."

"I understand, you mean there is someone behind the scenes, and Makakaro is just a pedal."

"Yes, Makakaro has no interaction with me at all. Even if he wants to kill someone crazy, he will not seek surgery on me. I just mentioned three people, so the next three people will be much more suspicious."

"Who is it?" Lance felt that he benefited a lot after hearing Teresia's words. After all, he had never entered the center of the power of the kingdom, so he sounded very powerful.

"That's the three princes." Teresia turned her beautiful eyes and said, "Lance, I wonder if you have heard of these three princes?"

"Three... feel a bit like our three brothers. Are you fighting to the death?"

"Yes," Lance joked casually, but unexpectedly Teresia admitted. "The Demon King has five descendants, and the eldest son died a long time ago. I won't mention this, and the youngest one is a daughter, who is still very young, so this can be excluded, but the second, third and fourth are people with active thinking."

"After all, the Demon King's chair is only one move, and they have three of them." Lance thought to himself. It seems that the three brothers are actually pretty good, at least there is no dispute over inheritance rights, but he still wants to ask: "Why?"

If these three brothers compete for power, then the Dragon Clan should be the one who can try every means to flatter the Dragon Clan. Why do you want to assassinate the Red Dragon Queen? Even if the Queen is killed, it is impossible for the Dragon Clan to collapse so easily. But as soon as he asked, what Teresia had said suddenly appeared in Lance's mind.

"Does they plan to instigate war between the Dragon Clan and the other two clans?"

Teresia was very happy that Lance had realized this problem: "I was thinking about what to do before, because you see, no one is willing to do thankless things, especially if you must pay a lot of things like this."

Indeed, the other party arranged such a big deal, and in the end it was a heavy casualty. Take the masters above level B who assassinated Teresia for example. Such a well-trained assassination was knocked down at one time. I guess no one would regard this as an inconsistency number.

"The result is that some people want to use our dragon clan's hand to eliminate the two races, the dark elves and vampires, and successfully tease our war."

"But they won't get any benefits if they do this?"

"How come there is no benefit?" Teresia smiled silently: "Lance, you don't know the current situation. The lords and the three princes have secretly set up the line, each supporting their own forces, just waiting for the Demon King Chubsha to gain greater benefits and consolidate his position in the kingdom after he ascended the throne. Our dragon clan naturally disdained to be like them, and was alone. Because of his strong strength, he was just used as a pawn to clear his competitors - isn't there a saying that the enemy's enemies are the best ally?"

"Then this ally is really frustrated." Lance felt that it was indeed very likely when he heard Teresia say this.

There are countless forces in the Abyss Kingdom, but in addition to the Demon King, the person with the most weight is naturally the six lords. The reason why the six lords can have such great power is not because of how high their titles are, but because the territory they are backed by has enough strength to make them speak hard.

In this way, fighting for the support of the lords can be said to be something that the princes are extremely eager for. According to Teresia, they may have succeeded, but there must be some differences. After all, the promises of each prince are always limited, and you can't boast about saying that as long as you help me become the devil, I will let you be below one person and above ten thousand people, the lord is not a fool. If the prince wants to get their support, he must show corresponding sincerity.

After careful calculation, the dragon clan was excluded. Lance felt that his father had always been loyal to the Demon King and he should not be able to do such a thing as asking him to stand in a team. There was also a giant clan that also belonged to the Demon King's personal army, and there was no possibility. The rest were the undead, the dark elves and the vampire. Each prince was looking for a backer.

According to the concept of one rises and the other falls, if both vampires and dark elves are in trouble, then the one who benefits - the undead?

"Uh, is it really a lich?" Lance said casually before, but unexpectedly it turned out to be true.

Teresia neither shook her head nor nodded, and said with a faint expression: "I also think Valende has the highest possibility, and I already know the person behind him who is supporting him. It is the Second Highness Leonard."

When Lance heard this name, he could only shake his head: "I have heard of this name a lot, but I have never seen it before. I heard that this guy is very powerful. I heard that he has a high call for inheriting the position of the next Demon King. Is it necessary to fight so hard?"

"I don't know." Teresia was also helpless. After all, these were just speculations. Without real evidence, they could not confront each other in public or take revenge.

Lance knew the depression in Teresia's heart and quickly revealed this paragraph: "So is there anyone who can do it?"

"The suspicious candidate... If you have to say it, there will be only that one left." Teresia hesitated for a moment and said it, but she quickly denied it herself, because that guy had no reason to do this: "It's impossible."

At the same time, in the Demon King City.

The man was leaning on the chair, and the swaying fire reflected his figure on the wall of the fireplace, trembling constantly. But he himself sat calmly, like a silent wax figure, motionless.

Beside him, the second prince Leonard stood respectfully, and beside him was a hunched little old man standing, but no one dared to underestimate him, the immortal Lich Lord Valend.

In front of the two, there was a man kneeling on the carpet covered with gorgeous patterns. His face was covered with a hood, revealing only the eyes of a pair of gloomy vultures.

Time seemed to freeze in this space. For a relatively long period of time, no one moved or spoke.

Finally, a hollow and hoarse voice broke the lengthy silence: "So you've done something wrong, right, Makakaro."

"I'm so sorry." The one who crawled on the ground in the hood turned out to be a clear female voice.

The man's skinny fingers hit the armrests of the chair, and the bright red rings reflected in the fire. He was thinking, but no one dared to interrupt.

It took a long time again.

"Forget it this time, at least the basic purpose has been achieved, but don't let me down again, Makakaro." said the majestic voice.

The woman crawling on the ground raised her head and exposed a terrible mask under her hood.

"Yes, Lord Demon."
