-33- Sudden Assassination(1/2)

"Meow! Do you know how that homeless man died?"

"He was drunk to death! He was actually drunk to death! He was a poor homeless man, and he was actually drunk to death in a tavern!"

"Damn it! What's the difference between this and telling Mr. Cat that he was silenced!"

"But do you know what's even more outrageous?"

"Meow! Mr. Cat took the hand crossbow to the underground black market, and unexpectedly found that there were private soldiers from the Duke's Palace secretly reselling the hand crossbow in the black market!"

"Before I could erase the special mark on the hand crossbow, Mr. Cat quietly compared it and found that it was exactly the same as the hijacker's hand crossbow!"

Black Cat Nice was filled with indignation.

However, after hearing its words, Charlotte's expression was relatively calm.

"Huh? Aren't you surprised? Miss Charlotte, ah no, great master?"

Seeing Charlotte's thoughtful look, Nice's heart moved slightly.

"What should I be surprised about? The death of a tramp, or the crossbow coming from the Duke's Palace?"

Charlotte replied lightly and took a sip of milk.

Now she really believed that after becoming a vampire, her heart was somewhat affected. After hearing that someone had been silenced, her mood was not greatly disturbed.

Even though...she had already vaguely expected it.

"Meow! I know you seemed to have expected it before you asked me to investigate, but don't you think it's weird?"

"Do you think there are really such coincidences in this world?"

"Master Cat just started looking for someone, and when he found a clue, the person behind him died!"

"Master Mao just started investigating, and before he even started to contribute, there were clues that the Duke's Palace was selling hand crossbows. And he didn't have time to erase the Duke's Palace's special secret!"

"Meow! Do you think the person behind this is a fool?!"

The more Nis spoke, the angrier he became, and the shuddering cat's face began to tremble.

"So...where is your judgment?"

Charlotte finished the milk in the goblet and tapped the glass gently.

Ness understood immediately, and quickly filled her up again like a fool, and then said in a loud voice:

"conspiracy!"

"This is a conspiracy!"

"Someone is making up the illusion that the Duke's Palace is kidnapping you! They are framing the Duke's Palace and want to sow discord between you and the Duke's Palace!"

After saying that, Nice opened his amber eyes wide and looked at Charlotte expectantly, like a kitten asking for credit, but found that Charlotte still looked calm.

Its heart skipped a beat:

"No way? You have guessed it a long time ago?"

Charlotte glanced at him and did not answer directly:

"How long did it take from the time I was kidnapped to the abandoned manor to the time the demon hunting knights arrived?"

"About... half an hour?"

"How far is it from the abandoned manor to the nearest witch hunt?"

"Well...according to our return time, if we hurry up, it will take about fifteen minutes."

After saying that, Nice paused.

Its eyes widened, and it suddenly became clear.

Charlotte took a sip of milk and continued:

"Fifteen minutes, it takes half an hour to come and go."

"However, this is the only way to speed up the journey..."

"Tell me, how could a homeless man reporting a message just go to the Demon Hunting Station to report the message in such a short time?"

"There was no hesitation, no hesitation, no time difference, and you still ran so fast?"

"And coincidentally, Captain Kara and the others also arrived at the Demon Hunting Station?"

After hearing Charlotte's words, Nice's face suddenly turned ugly:

"Conspiracy! This is a conspiracy! This is a planned performance!"

"No wonder the hijackers are unreliable freelance mercenaries. I'm afraid the people behind the scenes have no intention of successfully hijacking you!"

"maybe."

Charlotte shook her head slightly.

She touched the crossbow in her hand and said quietly:

"Everyone thinks that I am just a child without power, and no one knows that you are secretly following the carriage."

"Perhaps the hijackers are also well prepared. It would be great if the hijacking is successful, but it doesn't matter if the hijacking is unsuccessful."

"Perhaps they originally wanted to make a time difference, but they didn't expect that something went wrong in the middle. After realizing that they couldn't succeed, they naturally withdrew and did not continue to contact each other."

"Although the free mercenaries at the bottom are not reliable, they will not get their hands dirty. These guys are not as slippery as the experienced mercenaries. They will leave marks everywhere in their work to avoid being used as a gun!"

Nice glanced at the girl unexpectedly:

"You know a lot about free mercenaries."

"Fortunately, after meeting the Duke's son, I looked up relevant books in the mission hospital to make up for it."

Charlotte said nonchalantly.

"However, if this is the case, it would be interesting. The hijackers reacted so quickly. It seems... that there should be a spy in the rescue team!"

Nice's eyes narrowed slightly.

Charlotte was noncommittal and chuckled:

"maybe."

The man and the cat looked at each other and said nothing. A figure appeared in their minds at the same time.

"Go and investigate him."

Charlotte said coldly.

"It's going to be a little troublesome this time. He is a noble after all."

Nice scratched his head.

"Huh? Is there a problem?"

Charlotte glanced at it lightly, and the light of low-level majestic skills flashed through her pupils.

"Uh...meow, no, no..."

Black Cat, who wanted to take the opportunity to make some misfortune to gain extra points for himself, immediately stopped talking.

But soon, it looked solemn again:

"Miss Charlotte."

"Um?"

Charlotte gave it a sidelong glance, quite powerful.

"Uh... no, Lord, Master."

Nice immediately changed his tune.

"explain."

The girl nodded with satisfaction and took a sip of milk.

Nice took a deep breath and looked seriously at the old monster in front of him who looked innocent but was extremely evil:

"With all due respect, do you really plan to attend the banquet at the Duke's Palace in a week's time?"

"I know that the great...well, the noble you will get back what belongs to you sooner or later and regain your past glory."

"However, you have not yet recovered your strength after all. No matter what the truth is, the Duke's Palace is inevitably involved behind this hijacking. I think... it's better to be careful!"

Um?

When did this guy become so interested in restoring the strength of my "evil god"?

Charlotte glanced at Black Cat in surprise, wondering if the other person had misunderstood something recently.

"It doesn't matter. Instead of waiting for the other party to take action, it's better to take the initiative yourself. After all, it's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows."

Charlotte said.

"It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows..."

Niss chewed on these two sentences and felt that the other party was indeed the legendary one. He could speak casually with a high level of skill. He planned to write it down so that he could show it off in other places in the future.
To be continued...
