After all the trouble, the three finally reached the basement where the body of Saint King Roy was placed.
"Lord Byron, you said that once we come into contact with other people, the magic will fail. What if we come into contact with the dead?" Geraint asked suddenly.
"The corpse is also a dead thing. Even if you encounter it, there won't be any big problem. It's just that I don't know if Parsa has done anything on the corpse." Byron responded.
"If I had known earlier, I would have asked Ruona to come with us. The rest of us would definitely not have a good way to deal with those weird magics in Parsa." Geraint frowned.
"Don't worry, I've already prepared it." As he said that, Byron took out another oval-shaped flat glass ball from his arms. Since the light in the basement was very dim, the glass ball looked particularly crystal clear at night.
"Lord Byron, please take out any treasures you have hidden in your body so that I can be mentally prepared." Geraint spread his hands.
"According to Lady Ruona, this is a magic detection crystal that can detect whether the object we are coming into contact with has been enchanted. If there is magic, we can also identify what type of magic it is." Byron said seriously.
said.
"Lord Ruona is simply incredible." Geraint said, "It seems that traveling more is very beneficial..."
"In order to ensure that the body of the Holy King will not die, freezing magic is indispensable." Byron approached the stone bed where Roy's body was placed, picked up the crystal, pointed it at his body and scanned it, "Let us see
In addition to the freezing magic, does Parsa have any other magic added to it?"
Joshua also followed to the stone bed, and he could see Roy's appearance due to the faint light of the crystal.
Roy's eyes were closed tightly on the slate bed, and his expression was very peaceful. Roy's face was neatly trimmed, with a gray-black beard on his chin, but he looked very neat. Judging from the outline of his eyes, he must have looked like this when he was young.
A handsome man with clear and charming eyes. Although there was a cold corpse in front of him, Joshua felt a kind of kindness and warmth in this man. He felt that this
The person seemed familiar, but that memory was blank. He felt his head hurt a little, because he always felt that this person had been buried deep in his memory. "They said this was the dead old king, and I was
The current king... Then he should be my father in this world." Joshua thought to himself, "Who is my father in the real world? Uncle Geraint has never mentioned it. Could it be..."
"Uncle Geraint has always emphasized that King Parsa of the Reims Empire is an evil guy and our big enemy. And now Parsa is the prime minister of the Reims Kingdom and calls me king." Joshua thought.
Turning around, "Goddess of Light, does all of this correspond to reality? If I can pass the trial of the temple, I must ask
Ask Uncle Geraint in the real world, what is going on? Well, that’s right. Wasn’t he the first knight of the Golden Dragon Knights before? Uncle Haig, Lord Frame, they must also know about me.
Life experience. But I really don’t want to be a prince. After being a king for a few days, except for having good food and drink, I usually live a very depressed life..."
There have always been rumors about the secret passages in the Prime Minister's Tower. When it was built, the builders destroyed the drawings to protect the secrets of the castle. Even Parsa himself may not know how many rooms in the Prime Minister's Tower are connected by secret passages.
Of course, there are many things he doesn't know, such as the secret passages of the Holy Light Palace, such as Ruona's various weird magics. Byron scanned Roy's body with the crystal, and blue light flashed on the crystal and merged.
Concatenate several letters into several words.
"Freezing" - Byron saw this word on the crystal. "It seems that Parsa did not add any defensive magic to the corpse of the emperor."
"But even so, how are we going to conduct an investigation?" Geraint asked.
"First see if there are any wounds on the Holy King's body!" Byron prayed to the gods in heaven and asked for forgiveness for his behavior of tampering with the corpse. Byron first carefully observed Roy's hair, because if he really died of poisoning, especially if he died of poisoning,
If the snake venom produced in Wulin City was taken orally and died, there would be something completely wrong with the hair roots of the deceased. But now it seems that
There was nothing unusual at all, which meant that Miranda's inference that the snake venom penetrated through the skin was completely correct. Byron opened Roy's nightgown again, lifted one of his hands and observed it carefully.
"If this kind of snake venom penetrates through the skin, the most obvious characteristic is that the nails will turn black. It seems that Parsa and Bolton have teamed up to frame us."
Then Byron began to observe Roy's torso again. According to the custom of the Kingdom of Reims, the king must be buried wearing royal robes when he passes away. Suddenly, above the navel of Holy King Roy, Byron found traces that resembled coagulated blood.
existence, the entire belly button became a large dark red circle.
Although the body was preserved by freezing magic, everyone could still vaguely smell a putrid smell. "His Majesty the King's corpse is very strange," Byron said, "What is going on? It is very possible that the secret of His Majesty's death is
It’s this piece of clotted blood in front of you!” The problem is that where such a large piece of clotted blood is located, there is no wound on the surface of the body. What’s going on? Generally speaking, it can cause this level of coagulation.
, the Holy King must have had severe bleeding symptoms in his body at that time. To cause this level of bleeding, it must have been a fatal blow. But where did the wound go? Byron asked himself in his heart. Although the Holy King was young,
The situation is already high, but when he was young, he was also an outstanding knight with gold-level fighting spirit. After all, he was very strong. If you want to make his internal organs bleed without leaving any wounds, you can do it with the power of fists and palms alone.
No one in the entire Reims Kingdom can do this. Seeing his brother's death in such a miserable way, and the unfair injustice he suffered, Byron's heart was bleeding. But as a knight, even after their father passed away
They didn't cry when they were young. Byron clearly remembered that their father passed away when he was in his twenties, and Roy shouldered the burden of the country at a young age. What he didn't expect now is that,
His elder brother died younger than his father. At that time, when Roy came to the throne, the older generation of Five Dragon Knights leaders were already over fifty, like Sword Master Hakan and others. And Baiao, Schroeder
These people were no more than the same age as Geraint now. He and these people spent almost all their childhood in the floating city. They were all leaders of the same generation who grew up together, including Parsa. At that time,
He is only in his twenties.
"What should we do now, Lord Byron?" Geraint asked, "The bruises on the Holy King are very strange, but we can't do something as outrageous as dissecting a corpse?"
"Since there are no wounds on the surface of the body, then maybe..." Byron thought about it carefully. Then he took out the magic detection crystal left by Ruona again.
"Lord Byron, do you suspect that the death of the Holy King is related to magic?" Geraint asked.
"The possibility of directly using force to injure the Holy King to such an extent while being the easiest person to approach him is extremely slim. But magic is different..." Byron frowned, "Don't
Forgot what Parsa’s old profession is? He is one of the people in the entire knight order who is easiest to get close to His Majesty the King, besides me.”
Soon, the crystal swayed back and forth on Roy's navel, and soon the whole crystal shook violently...
"What's going on? Ruona's crystal actually had such a strong reaction..." Geraint was shocked.
Some letters kept running around in the crystal, but they could never be gathered into complete characters as before. Soon these letters turned into balls of black gas floating around in the crystal.
At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the rising sun decorated the top of the Prime Minister's Tower with bright crimson, but the city wall below was still in the dark, and the outer city was so quiet.
"Hey, you guys slept very soundly. If the Prime Minister knew that you were lazy at night, he would never spare you..." Suddenly, the voices of several new guards came from the basement doorman.
