Chapter 124: Exploitation of Hindsight



Chapter 124: Exploitation of Hindsight

Watching Nashura help Adele leave, the gradually recovering doppelganger barely stood up, instantly condensed into a ball of light in the center of his palm, and with a wave of his hand, he threw it at that previously frozen body. Immediately turning this block of ice into a puddle of ordinary water that couldn\'t be ordinary. And at this moment, those rescue soldiers also rushed over with hurried footsteps. "Ah, what\'s going on here!" Having just arrived, these soldiers were also shocked by what was in front of them. Corpses hanging on ice spikes, soldiers frozen into ice bumps, a field of rubble and blood, and the doppelganger standing naked in front of them.

When the doppelganger saw these soldiers, he immediately waved his hand and said, \'\'I am Baron Sindep, Grand Captain of the Aries Knights Alfred, Flamel. I just encountered an assassin, help me change into a set of clothes." Calm to the point that the doppelganger said so, while on the other side, Paladin, who was sitting in the ruins, welcomed the people who had heard the commotion. Searching for the latest updates about the commotion.

Out of Paladin\'s expectation, it was obvious that this assassination had caused a relatively large commotion. Not only did Orinna, who was hanging up her robe, and the sleepy-eyed Archbishop Sarrier come, even the Marquis Carmon, the Count Torch, and a large number of other nobles arrived at the scene. As soon as he entered this door that can\'t be called a door, the Archbishop Sarrier, who bore the brunt of the scene, saw a blood-stained Paladin, and immediately stepped forward in fear, and asked while nervously checking Paladin\'s injuries, \'\'What\'s going on here? Could it be that you were just hit by twenty fireballs?"

Paladin pushed aside Sarrier, who had a strange look on his face when he realized he was not injured, and looked at Marquis Carmon, who was followed by a group of guards behind him, and said very politely, "Honorable Marquis Carmon, I have encountered an assassin. Moreover, the other party is H-assassin\'s assassin." "What!" Paladin calmly said these words, but it made a large group of people around him immediately startled!

However, after seeing the blood-stained special dagger on the ground, and the two dead guards whose throats were separated, they naturally believed Paladin\'s words. One of them in particular, Sarrier, had a shocked look on his face. It should be known that not long ago, because of the unrest in the Freemasons\' Union, the Holy See had outwardly declared that H-assassin was a heretical organization. It was leaving no stone unturned to eradicate it. Now these heretical assassins had the audacity to sneak into the fortress and assassinate the clergy in front of him, the Archbishop! It was conceivable that he himself would not only receive the condemnation conveyed down from the Holy City, but even His Holiness the Pope would be furious! Because this was simply a vicious slap in the face of his pontificate!

On the contrary, it was Marquis Carmon, who looked at this chaotic wreckage with a surprised face, and looked at Paladin with a tone that carried curiosity, that face that had always been plate-like showing some expression in a rare moment: \'\'Father Paladin, I can\'t see that you were able to maneuver around H-assassin\'s assassin so well. Not only did you not get killed, you even repelled the assassin." Who knew that Sarrier and the others immediately revealed shocked expressions, but Paladin very frankly explained, "It wasn\'t me at all. Rather, it was my brother, Alfred who heard the noise and rushed to save me."

"Alf….. Lord Baron, he came?" As soon as she heard the mention of her beloved, Orinna immediately stepped forward with nervousness. It was a good thing she had some sensitivity, she almost spat out her heart. In fact, she was also wondering, her beloved had just made merry with herself not long ago when he said he went out to use the restroom. As a result, he was gone for half a day. When she was suspicious and afraid that her lover would regret making love to her, she saw Marquis Carmon rushing towards this place with a large number of guards. It was unthinkable that her lover had gone to save his brother.

Hearing Paladin\'s reply, Marquis Carmon frowned and asked, "Then where is Lord Baron Sindep? Where did he go?" Paladin sighed and said with an appropriate show of worry, "After my brother repelled that assassin, he immediately went after him. I don\'t know how and where he is now." "What! Lord Baron, he went after the assassin? How can this be! Lord Marquis Carmon, please hurry up and send guards to help the Baron, if something went wrong with him…."

Upon hearing that her lover rushed off to fight with the assassin, the anxious Orinna immediately ventured to make a request to the Marquis Carmon. Marquis Carmon was about to helplessly stop Orinna from going crazy when a small soldier came running out of breath, half-kneeling on the ground at once, and said urgently, "Lord Marquis! We found Baron Sindep at the north gate of the fortress! I heard the Baron say that he had encountered an assassin. There are dozens of guards present who have been killed in action!"

"What!" This would come to the point where the Marquis Carmon stared back with glazed eyes. Looking at the violently panting soldier, he said, "Where is Baron Sindep? If there are no major injuries, please also ask him to hurry and meet us in the conference hall on the fourth floor." The soldier heard the order and immediately rolled over and ran off. Marquis Carmon frowned and said, "Don\'t tell the Grand Duke about this beforehand, after all, an assassination by an assassin happened underneath the most powerful fortress in the Principality. It is really degrading to the nation."

Everyone nodded in silence when they saw Marquis Carmon saying so with a serious face. Everyone understood in their hearts that the Marquis Carmon was responsible for the fort\'s night patrols and guards, and if this matter were to spread out and the Grand Duke knew about it. A scolding would naturally be inevitable, and it would even be circulated among the nobles, causing ridicule for nothing. As for the side of Orinna does not care about Carmon\'s face. Her heart is all focused on her lover Alfred. Hearing this, she didn\'t take it seriously, and eagerly said to Marquis Carmon, "I\'ll go along, no matter what, He’s also my subordinate!" Carmon looked at Orinna and nodded very reluctantly. This fellow was notoriously feisty, and even he didn\'t want to reject it outright. Otherwise, who knew what kind of mess would come out.

Seeing that Orinna immediately rushed back to change her clothes, Marquis Carmon turned his head to look at Paladin, who had been helped up by Sarrier, and said, \'\'The two of you should come along as well. After all, this is something that concerns the Holy See." Marquis Carmon who said so, also nodded very kindly at Paladin. Only then did he turn around and leave with his guards. Paladin understood in his heart that this was Marquis Carmon feeling ashamed. After all, the savior who also saved his life before, at night because of his own negligence was almost assassinated at this moment. But Paladin was naturally happy about this development. This thing of favors, the more others owed the better.

When Sarrier helped Paladin pass through the broken gate, the Count Torch on one side also scowled at Paladin. It means that you are really good at pretending. Paladin knew that his lack of injuries had already been seen by Count. Seeing that there were no outsiders on the left and right, he simply smiled and said, "Lord Count, let\'s go and take a look together, there might be an unexpected surprise." In response, it was Count Torch\'s curious smile.

Not long afterward, the council hall in the castle was brightly lit. Seven or eight great nobles, including the Marquis Carmon, were currently sitting in the hall in formal attire. In the center of this huge rectangular table, Marquis Carmon looked at the black tea on the table that was filled with fine alabaster porcelain and fumed, not knowing what he was thinking about. Orinna, on the other hand, kept playing with her fingers, the slightly furrowed brows and the ankles that kept twisting showed how impatient she was at this moment.

Archbishop Sarrier was leisurely relaxed, no matter what happened, he only needed to report the matter to the Holy City and give it to those high and mighty Cardinals and His Holiness the Pope to deal with. This could be described as a typical example of a broken can. As for Count Torch, his eyes kept surveying all the nobles present. Obviously this unexpected event that had nothing to do with him made him start paying attention to the attitudes of all the nobles as a way to figure out what to say and what not to say.

Paladin, on the contrary, just sat quietly. He suddenly smiled when another perspective saw the gate in front of him.
