Chapter 290

Looking at Brandon's brilliant sunshine smile made Lauren wonder whether he really believed in himself? I can't find any evidence for a while, so I pretend to trust?

But isn't this the so-called "trust"? The dark haired wizard couldn't help laughing at himself - for him, or for Brandon, a respected "aristocrat", another meaning of the word "trust" is that there is no evidence of deception and betrayal for the time being, that's all.

On the contrary, if he patted himself on the shoulder and said "don't betray my trust", Loren might be more uncomfortable.

"Well, now that the problem of the nine pointed star Holy Grail has been solved, let's get back to the point!" Brandon smiled and said, "it's still the second prince of the Empire. I can actually give a lot of things, so the key to the problem is... What do you want?"

"I don't quite understand." Lauren pretended to be stupid.

"As far as I know, you have refused the solicitation of Bellini and corona, so the general reward may not be attractive to you." the second prince reluctantly spread his hand: "so I'm going to change my way, for example... How about being my wizard consultant?"

Huh?

"This is just a temporary title. You don't have to worry that ruven Fred will trouble you - although he is more likely to trouble me." Brandon didn't forget to laugh at himself: "it's just an expedient measure. At least this identity can let you return to Timor with me, and then I can arrange it."

The dark haired wizard frowned slightly.

"I don't know what you want, but I know what you need, Lord Loren Turin." Brandon smiled proudly: "you need an identity with enough weight to make rut infinite and the whole night watchman dare not touch you or hurt the people around you."

"If a person with ability and strength like you doesn't want to be coerced by others, obtaining a title with enough weight is your only choice, and I can give it to you."

"Let me have the courage to guess." Loren said calmly, "Your Highness's promise is not free."

"As I said, I want to make an alliance with you." Brandon smiled naturally: "eboden and the nine pointed star wizard tower can only be regarded as the beginning."

"..." Lauren thought silently.

Loren has no scruples if he only becomes the other party's wizard consultant, but the key to the problem is not here. The key to the problem is

"Your Highness Brandon de sallion, what do you want?"

"Me?" Brandon was stunned, with a slightly stiff smile.

"Yes, you said it was an alliance. Since it was an alliance, we must get what we need." Loren smiled. "But now you just offered your price, but you haven't told me what you want from me?"

A moment later, the surprised Brandon suddenly chuckled:

"Lord Loren Turin... We will get along quite well!"

"Now that you have asked, how about becoming my wizard adviser?" the prince asked casually, "it happens that I need a help like you now!"

Just as the two men looked at each other, a middle-aged man like an officer came into the door of the parliament hall. He stopped in front of the prince with a black face and made a stiff military salute.

"Let me guess." looking at each other's ugly expression, Brandon couldn't help sighing: "it's not good news, right?"

"Our team of 100 people in a blockade line in the south of the city encountered a raid." the officer lowered his head heavily: "all the people were killed, and none of them will return for life!"

Brandon and Loren looked at each other, and their laughing expression converged: "did the monsters do it?"

"It's not like it was done by a monster, and there are no signs of biting. The wound on the dead is more like it was torn by a sword!"

"And..." the officer paused, and a trace of fear could be heard in his voice: "those who killed them are likely to

It's all the same weapon! "

The atmosphere suddenly became a little cold

The smile gradually faded, and the expressionless Brandon de sallion turned his eyes to the black haired Wizard: "please come, your excellency Loren Turin, the wizard consultant!"

"At your service, your highness Brandon."

With a meaningful reply, Loren nodded tacitly.

Deal closed.

When Loren arrived at the site of the ruins in the south of the city, it was almost evening.

The patrol soldiers are attacked. Of course, such a big thing can't be quiet. The commander of the regiment sealed off the surrounding area at the first time, and dispatched the surrounding troops to step up the city defense and surveillance of the south gate.

This is a very reasonable judgment. If the murderer really committed the murder in the south of the city and mercilessly killed a whole team of 100 people, from officers to soldiers, it is obvious that the other party accidentally exposed his whereabouts and had a special identity; Then, its purpose is likely to sneak into or leave eboden, otherwise it would not appear in civilian areas at this time.

The entire imperial Legion has only 3000 people, and the whole city has been stretched under martial law. The patrol troops in the south of the city, which is naturally reduced to ruins, are the most scarce.

The only pity is that since the whereabouts of the other party have not been found again, no matter what the murderer's purpose is, it is likely to have been or will be succeeded.

Walking into the ruined street, the contemplative black haired wizard looked absently at the bodies on the ground - thanks to the special instructions of his Highness Prince Brandon, except for the initial discovery, the whole crime scene was not destroyed, and even the dead soldiers were not removed.

"See what?"

The fairy looked at him strangely: "how do I feel that you have been distracted all the time?"

Coughing twice and looking embarrassed, the black haired wizard glanced at Leia following behind him - the little wizard and two night watchmen were resting in the wizard tower, and Peter FASA had to stay to watch them, so the "volunteering" fairy came with him.

Loren still remembers the officer who just brought them to leave with a meaningful look at himself

Maybe you think too much? Probably

"Cough... First of all, where they fell to the ground." with a light cough, Loren went to the middle of the ruins street and pointed to the bodies of the soldiers on both sides: "from their position, the murderer was in trouble when he came to the middle, so I speculate that the other party may have been accidentally found."

"Found identity?" Leia frowned slightly. "Is it difficult or something?"

"That's the second problem." the black haired wizard nodded slightly. "He can defeat a whole team of 100 people. Even in the case of a raid, the opponent's skill is probably unusual; the weapon used is a knight's long sword that can pierce heavy armor, but there are still many cuts, which is a little scary."

"The most important thing is..." lorenton paused with a serious look: "there are two of them."

"Two people? But the soldiers didn't say the wound..."

"It's all caused by the same weapon. Yes, but this can only prove that the other party has a swordsman who is very powerful with a sword, not the number of people."

The black haired wizard turned around and pressed the Female Elf's shoulder, as if to deduce what had happened at that time. Lias, who was "held in his arms", didn't care: "if you guessed correctly, the two men might have stood like this at that time - one was responsible for responding to the enemy and the other was standing behind."

"So, another man is still a wizard who can use magic, just like you?"

Lauren nodded slightly, which was the only thing he didn't understand.

There are indeed a few traces of emptiness in the surrounding ruins, but it is not like a high-level magic spell, but closer to... The power of Asriel.

But it shouldn't be... Is there another evil god lurking in eboden? But if so, it should have appeared when the body of the evil god was summoned.

"Wait!"

Suddenly the Female Elf interrupted his thinking. The black haired wizard looked up. Leia was squatting next to a body with a dignified face: "the wounds on their bodies were caused by the same person, right?"

"To be exact, it should be the same weapon, but it can also be said. Lauren frowned slightly:" what's the matter? "

"I've seen such skills and weapons that can cause such wounds." Leia slowly turned her head and looked at him with a heavy expression:

"He did the guard Knight next to Francis!"
