Chapter 309: Another Assassin?

In the end, Harold took Ariel and the others, as well as the remaining surviving princes and princesses. They casually found a place near the palace, set up a soundproof barrier, and started talking.

"Everyone, please share your findings and see if you can get any results or clues."

Harold took the lead and clapped his hands, attracting the attention of everyone in the audience and said.

"Why don't you wait for Osai to come over? In fact, when I arrived, strictly speaking, I arrived too late. I only saw that the assassin just escaped through the power of space, and I didn't find out anything more about the situation."

Ariel raised her eyebrows after hearing this and chose to tell the truth. After all, she mainly wanted to hear whether the other party and Osai who participated in the war had gained any information.

As for herself, as the girl said, she just arrived here in a hurry. At most, she can only make guesses from the wreckage at the scene and the remaining strength of the enemy.

It would be a bit difficult for her to ask for more information. After all, she had never really fought against an assassin.

"It doesn't matter. It's okay if I talk about my findings first."

Harold did not show any dissatisfaction because of the girl's late arrival. After all, she was technically a guest and a foreign aid, so the demands were too high and unrealistic.

He just smiled and thoughtfully chose to open the topic first.

"In the previous battle, I definitely stabbed the blood-armored assassin with his sword. And I can be 100% sure that that sword absolutely pierced and destroyed the heart."

"If that sword really pierced the heart, even a legendary warrior with a strong body would die, right? Why would the opponent still have the strength to escape from the encirclement of the three of you?"

These words made Ariel look puzzled. Although she was a mage and didn't know much about the strength and situation of the legendary warriors, she still knew some basic information.

Even if the legendary warrior's physical fitness is astonishing and can be called an inhuman level, vital organs such as the heart are still there, and injuries will still be fatal.

Of course, most people can't even break through their defenses, so their vital organs are completely uninjured. Even if they are really injured, their own powerful self-healing ability can guarantee recovery or immortality.

Only a being of the same legendary level, with the terrifying destructive power of a natural disaster, can best restrain such a powerful body.

"Miss Ariel's doubts are actually exactly what I want to say."

Harold nodded and explained solemnly.

"But you are wrong about one thing. For a legendary warrior, although the heart injury is still fatal, it is not a serious injury. The strong physical fitness is enough to restore the heart wound."

"But the sword that pierced his heart came from my hand. I know the power of that sword very well. Normally, it can definitely inhibit its self-healing ability and make it fall into a state of near-death without any resistance."

"But that blood-armored assassin forcibly used my sword to cut off one of his imprisoned arms, and then ran away... This may not only be explained by his strong vitality."

After his words fell, several people present fell into silence. Naturally, after hearing what he said, several princes and princesses fell silent because of the power of the legendary strongman and assassin.

As for Ariel... she had some new inspiration for magic development after hearing Harold's description of the legendary warrior.

'If I completely integrate the legendary magic of Phoenix Flame into myself and form a talent or instinct, wouldn't it be equivalent to gaining the self-healing ability of a legendary warrior?'

But before she could think deeply, another voice from the door interrupted her thoughts.

"What do you mean? Is it possible that the other party is not a human being?"

The person who had just arrived was none other than Osei, who had said he was going to change clothes. At this moment, he was once again dressed in white clothes, looking like a fairy, but with a clean and pure temperament and an ordinary face.

emmm...it looks a little out of place for no reason.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Harold glanced at the person who came here, wondering if he was used to this guy's dress before. After taking a glance, he turned a blind eye and explained to himself.

"According to my current speculation, I guess there are two possibilities for the blood-armored assassin. One is the human form of the Lord of Warcraft, and the other is an existence similar to a magic puppet."

"I personally think that it is more likely to be some kind of special magic puppet."

"Then why do you still say it is the human form of the Lord of Warcraft?"

Some of the participating princes and daughters finally began to speak up, and the one who spoke was the Eleventh Prince, who had always been low-key and had little sense of presence.

After hearing this question, Osei glanced at the princes and princesses present. Although he was a little confused as to why they were there, he didn't say much. On the contrary, he went out of his way to explain.

"Because most of the Warcraft have a strong dislike for our human empire. In addition, the Vitality of the Warcraft Lord is indeed much stronger than the legendary warrior."

"With this motive and ability, it is natural that there is a possibility of being suspected."

"Osay is right."

Harold also nodded and agreed with his statement, and at the same time explained further.

"However, judging from the opponent's performance, it is still more likely that a special magic puppet is needed. Because most of the Warcraft Lords will lose a lot of strength after they transform into human form."

"In the previous battle, the strength displayed at this moment was extremely powerful. And even when he was about to die in the end, he did not show any animalistic characteristics."

At this point, he suddenly paused, looked at Ariel beside him who was thoughtful, and continued.

"And if it is a special magic puppet, all of this will be explained more clearly. Whether it is the opponent's fighting posture without fear of life or death, or the will to forcefully escape if the heart is damaged."

"As a magician, Miss Ariel also has some knowledge about magic puppets, right? How about I want to hear your opinion?"

Seeing that the topic was brought to her, the girl hesitated for a moment and nodded without refusing.

"There is indeed the possibility of special magic puppets..."

Then she explained the magician's definition of magic puppet, which is also one of the branches of magic. Most puppets are made of rare magic materials.

It is a magic item that is somewhat similar to a robot, controlled and used by a magician. In other words, it is a dead object.

But there are also some special puppets that are different, such as "spirit puppets". If the assassin is a magic puppet, it is most likely a spirit puppet.

Because the spirit puppet itself is a special puppet made from living corpses. Even if the corpse used is strong enough in front of the body, the power the puppet can exert is not small.

Putting it this way, does it feel very similar to the undead transformed by the Necromancer? But strictly speaking, these are indeed two real things.

After all, spirit puppets are just puppets, but undead spirits are a different kind of death life.

"...If the other party uses the corpse of a legendary warrior to make an undead puppet, and controls it with his own spiritual will, then he can indeed achieve what he said before."

After a detailed popular science explanation, Ariel concluded like this. The completely different point between ghost puppets and undead has once again emerged. Most of the power that undead can use is only negative energy.

For example: death, resentment, pollution, plague and other common necromantic powers.

But the spirit puppet is completely different, because it uses the corpse as a magic material and then transforms it into a puppet again, which has the power it possesses.

It has a lot to do with the corpses used as materials, and is by no means limited to the power of the dead.

"Is this so..."

After listening to her explanation, Osei looked thoughtful, then his expression suddenly became serious and he spoke again.

"I understand what you said, but I still have a question."

"What's the problem?"

Ariel expressed confusion.

"You should also remember the information about the murderer that I obtained from the corpse of the murdered prince at the beginning, right? There are two of them, and one of them is an assassin who is good at using the power of space."

"The other person... is a legendary strong man who is good at swords and sharp edges."

The man in white's face became more and more solemn, obviously he had thought of the extremely bad possibility.

"But the blood-armored assassin who appears again now doesn't fit the profile of either of these two people?"

"What do you mean? Is it possible that this blood-armored assassin will be another assassin attacking the royal family?"

After hearing this, Harold immediately understood what he meant, and his face also became ugly.

No wonder he looked so ugly. After all, they were just two legendary assassins. They killed most of the princes and princesses without caring about their shame.

If there were one more assassin like this, even the combined efforts of a few of them might not be able to stop him.

"It is indeed possible, because the blood-armored assassin also showed the power of space, but he only used it to attack and escape, not directly to attack."

Osei explained with a solemn expression that this was indeed his discovery. If the blood-armored assassin was the one behind the scenes who was good at using space power, his use of space power should not be to this extent.

If it had been that space assassin, even the third prince might not have been able to survive. After all, the invisible and insubstantial power of space is too inexplicable to be used for assassination.

"And the other one is an assassin who is good at using swords, but the blood armor is not seen carrying a sword at this moment. All these signs indicate that he may really be the third assassin!"

Harold and the princes and princesses present fell silent after hearing his words. Without him, this speculation was just too cruel and too despairing.
