Chapter 872 (2/2)

The sky was dark,-a group of people walked into this remote tavern.

There were three corpses lying on the ground, assassins ambushing here.

Clodia disappeared, apparently under the siege of the three, killed them backhand and left safely.

Alfonso stood in the forefront, covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, seeming to have a habit of cleanliness.Out

Behind him stood a group of subordinates dressed as assassins, and everyone revealed an icy atmosphere, which was no surprise to the dead.

Alfonso kept scrutinizing this place, and seeing that there was no chaos at the scene, he suddenly came to a conclusion-

The battle soon ended. The strength of the trio and Clodia was too far apart, and there was no chance to resist.

”My lord! It's all-the sword seals the throat. The opponent's sword is fast and looks very difficult to deal with.” After an assassin investigated the body, he reported to Alfonso.

Alfonso frowned frequently as he watched the smell of the corpse on the ground. He knew that these three people couldn't catch Clodia at all, but he still hoped to postpone it, but the result was not satisfactory.

”My lord, do you want to hurry up and continue chasing? Maybe you can still catch it?” the assassin's men suggested.

Alfonso touched the cup of black coffee with the back of his hand, and then closed his eyes disappointedly, ”No, the coffee is already cold, and Clodia has run away.

”Then...what should I do next?” the assassin's subordinate asked.

”The port here leads to the Holy Roman Empire, and all power is used to search in Rome.” Alfonso was not locked, looked disgusted, and constantly rubbed the back of his hand one by one.

Damn woman, do you really think you can run away?__

If you don't hand over Diana, I'll let you die!

Volume 27, the Subversive 54 of the Adventurer Tournament (plus more)

Budapest, the richest man in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in the dimly lit interrogation room.

There is only one table and two chairs, and there are only three people in a small space. It is empty and uncomfortable.

Only the small windows on the pale white walls, through the wisps of majesty, do not make people feel that this is a ”prison”

This is a place dedicated to interrogating political prisoners, and suspicious persons will be controlled here.

The Countess Bartoli was summoned here, and she sat here upright, even if she did not sleep at night, she still maintained the grace of a lady.

The man on the opposite side was pale, and almost melted into the pale wall around him, looking sickly.

His name is Dess, the chief knight commander of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and his status is equal to that of Masefield in Britain, and he is an honorary knight with extremely high prestige.

Dess’s extraordinary strength was highly regarded by the Austro-Hungarian emperor, and he was in charge of the guard army of the royal city.

However, Dess was in poor health and was plagued by disease. He was only in his thirties, and his appearance was already close to fifty, and he was fighting against the disease every day.

The Austro-Hungarian emperor was considerate of him, so it was not an important thing and would never send Dess to do it. After all, Dess was one of the few strong men who could shock foreign enemies.

But a series of things that happened recently made the Austro-Hungarian emperor sleepless, and always felt that the evil men of the Dark Guild would come to him.

So he had to send Dess to investigate the matter personally, but Dess summoned the Countess Battori to interrogate all night, but

There is no little fun at heart-little gain.

This made Dess feel a headache. All signs indicated that the countess in front of him was in contact with the Dark Guild. However, the other party was a nobleman and could not be tortured, so he could only keep asking-

”Countess, are you still reluctant to tell the truth? In fact, we have all the information, but your relationship with your majesty is ambiguous, and we just want to see your attitude.

”I am innocent and have nothing to do with Phoenix.” Batori said proudly.

”...Nuclear cough!” Dess frowned and coughed violently, his face paler.

”My lord, do you want to rest first-go?” The knight man next to him said worriedly.

Dess waved his hand again and again, indicating that he was okay, staring at Batori and asked, ”Since you said you have nothing to do with the Dark Guild, you should tell the truth more so that you can appear to have nothing to do with the Dark Guild.”

”What I said is true. Why does Your Excellency Dyce always think I'm lying?” Barto replied indifferently.

”All kinds of clues point to you, and there is hard evidence.” Dess suppressed the urge to cough, and said solemnly, ”You are the person in charge of the adventurer competition venue. Without your permission, how did the Dark Guild people get under the ring? Built an alchemy laboratory? Don't tell me-you don't even know it.

”I really don't know. Phoenix is ​​the biggest dark organization. They have hands and eyes and they are fully capable of avoiding me and secretly built an alchemy basement.” Batori paused and said earnestly, ”Besides, I'm just the person in charge. I go to the Arminius Arena every day to stare at it, and I am helpless at this inexplicable stall. Your Excellency Deiss should be able to understand my feelings, right?

”Countess, you are so cunning.” Dess sighed and said calmly, ”Do you think that if you pretend to be pitiful in front of me, you will get my sympathy?

”That's enough...Batori sighed. ”Your Excellency has been suspicious of me all night but can't produce evidence. Is it too much? Are you going to use this threat to make me succumb?

”The countess misunderstood me. You kept deceiving me with lies and made me feel very uncomfortable.” Dess took out a black book from his arms and kept turning the pages, ”Except for your connection with the Dark Guild, We also investigated that your entourage often enters and exits the slave market late at night and will bring slaves to your house every once in a while. This behavior is very abnormal. I would like to ask, what are you doing in private?

”...Batori subconsciously shed cold sweats, but she didn't expect Dess to find out about it. She was worried that her identity as a vampire would be exposed to everyone.
