The Exorcist Boy: The Book of Conviction

Chapter 45 Doubt

According to what the adjutant assistant said, he clearly had a close personal relationship with the dead Crown Prince Beto, but he didn't mention anything just now, and he didn't use this to refute the rumors he raised before.

Obviously the general has attended the other party's funeral, so it is impossible for him not to know the time of the other party's death.

So what he is hiding is something related to the beto crown prince?So I don't want to arouse my own suspicion, and then continue to investigate.

What is he hiding?
The Principality of Beto may have become a place of carnival for demons. No one in the Beto royal family cares about it anymore. The only place where doubts may arise is the cause of the death of the crown prince.

Sudden death, the two words themselves represent doubts.

But if General Astor finds a way to get rid of that Crown Prince Beto, it will not be of any benefit to him or Rhine.

The opponent is a dovish figure who wants to rehabilitate. If he is in the top position, then this should be happy for both countries.

It's really strange. General Astor has many doubts and contradictions on him. Judging from the way the other party treats soldiers and civilians, this person should not look like a national traitor who will bring disaster to the country and the people.

But why, he has to hide these things again, Snow is somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong? Master Exorcist, is there something wrong?"

After accidentally seeing Snow's gloomy and uncertain face, the adjutant's assistant was a little puzzled. He didn't know if he had said something wrong and made the other party unhappy.

"Ah no, it's nothing... just listening to what you said before, I feel that General Astor is really a legend, and he is still so young."

The adjutant assistant nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, maybe it's God's will. The generals just disarmed and returned to the fields in the past few days, and went back to the palace to enjoy the blessings, but I didn't expect such a bad news to break out in the Principality again, so that the general couldn't help it. Don’t take on this burden again.”

"Go back to the palace to enjoy the happiness?"

After Snow chewed these words several times, he immediately got a shock. He felt that he had found a blind spot.

Astor Rhine, the appearance of the contemporary Grand Duke of Rhine, is a very good person, and has won the trust of the people... and he also holds the military power on the border.

This sounds very much like a template for a certain type of person in a feudal society-the vassal king.

If the Grand Duke of the Rhine wants to change the regime, then he must consider the threat of such a figure under his own rule.

The so-called return to the court to enjoy the blessings, for a person like him, is simply a rise and fall, and the danger of leaving the border on the surface, but in fact he did lose his military power.

It is hard to say that he will be voluntary to exchange real power for a false position, and relying on the unique advantages of the other party, it may be that he does not want to compete with the crown prince.

Although he is not the biological son of the contemporary grand duke, his power will always make people feel inflated. Perhaps the contemporary grand duke has seen this, and then there is such an attempt to cover up the statement of "returning to the palace to enjoy the blessings". I am afraid that General Astor I am also unwilling.

So he managed to kill the crown prince of Beto Kingdom?
The assistant to the adjutant mentioned that the two of them often drank, and they only needed a glass of poisoned wine, so it was not difficult to create the illusion of a so-called sudden death.

And the Principality of Beto, who has investigated the cause of death, will definitely be furious because of this. It is inevitable to raise troops to invade the country. If the army is rushed, it must be insufficiently prepared. With his Astor's military quality, it should not be possible to resist the opponent. question.

At the same time, the status quo of the border cannot lose him, a commander who is familiar with the situation and commands the troops like an arm. In this way, the situation he faces will be transferred back soon, and the situation of losing military power will also be completely disintegrated.

But he didn't expect that the Principality of Beto didn't launch revenge immediately. Because of the excessive grief, the king was bewitched by the Earl of the Millennium, and then turned into a demon.

As a result, Beto's invasion of the border was delayed by a whole few months, and even attracted a large number of demons.

If you think about it that way, it probably makes sense.

If this statement is confirmed, then the current General Astor is not the savior of the Principality of the Rhine at all, but the real culprit who caused the current situation.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he wants to conceal his relationship with Crown Prince Beto and conceal the cause of Prince Beto's death that may cause suspicion.

Although the matter sounds a bit bizarre, it may not be without corresponding possibility. Will it really be what he speculated?

Snow hugged his head and lay down on the comfortable woolen cushion, thinking seriously.

"Drip drip..."

After an unknown amount of time, Graeme beside him heard a vibration. Snow opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at his pocket watch. It was already morning.

The rabbi and Kanda beside him had disappeared.

"Connect, this is Snow."

"Snow...the Marshal and the others have arrived, you go back to the station, there is a battle meeting to be held."

The bookman's voice came from inside Graeme.

"Okay, we'll be right there..."

Snow yawned big, rubbed his eyes, and got up from the floor, just as the rabbi walked in again, holding a plate in his hand, which should be breakfast for Snow.

In some cases, this socially arrogant patient is also a warm man!

"Please, Snow, if this is your breakfast, I saw that you were sleeping soundly in the morning, so I didn't wake you up.

According to Kanda, you went out suddenly in the middle of the night last night, was it because of my snoring?I'm so sorry. "

Snow took the tray, and the things on it were really rich, a bowl of vegetables, a glass of milk, two fruits, and a few slices of bread. It seemed that they were not things that ordinary soldiers could eat.

"It's okay, it has nothing to do with your snoring, it's really a little suspicious? I suspect..."

"General Ashtar?"

Rabbi interrupted what Snow wanted to say next.

"Don't look at me that way, I am more or less the next successor of the scholar, so you should be vigilant.

After all, isn't it too coincidental that the other party appeared at this moment and what he showed? "

The rabbi sat cross-legged across from him, and said with a smile, but he only suspected that the other party might have a problem, but he couldn't tell where the problem was.

"I'm afraid Kanda also has some ideas! After all, in this case, except for the people of the black sect, everyone should have a certain degree of vigilance against it."

Snow couldn't help laughing, should he be a seasoned exorcist?
"But the other party is the appointed candidate from the central hall! Let us wait and see."

Snow picked up the vegetables in the bowl and chewed them.

"By the way, we have to go back to the camp in a while, Marshal, they have arrived."

Snow reminded casually, and the rabbi nodded to show that he understood.

"I also received a message from Mr. Panda..."

When he came to the assembly camp of the black gang again, Snow found that the size of this place had more than doubled compared to the previous one.

Flying in the mid-air is the regimental flag of the Black Order, standing tall in the middle of the camp, as if not at all afraid of a large-scale attack by demons.

Three white tents with golden roses and crosses are like stars holding the moon, surrounding the golden pointed tent in the middle.

If Snow guessed correctly, there should be that troublesome woman in the middle, Sarah Akchi!
One of the five Grand Marshals of the Black Order.

"I feel uncomfortable all over, I really don't want to go in."

Snow's voice trembled slightly, he felt as if a huge mouth of the abyss was opening in front of him, waiting for the weak, poor and helpless little white rabbit to walk in.

"? Snow, are you feeling unwell?"

Rabbi asked curiously.

"Humph……"

For the first time ever, Kanda sneered from behind, and Snow suddenly became full of wit.

When he was brought up by Sarah, the general Black Order members didn't understand those things, but Kanda was an exception.

Back then, Sarah seemed to be following up on some strange things.

It was a rather gloomy research institute. One day, Sarah, who was very playful, dressed Snow beautifully for no reason, and then led him in like a daughter...

Unfortunately, at that time, Snow had a face-to-face meeting with Kanda who was also young...the other party had seen him in women's clothing.

"Hum..."

A strange sneer came from behind again, Snow's face darkened, and he silently held the handle of the [Devil Slayer Holy Flame].

"Hum hum……"

"Kanda, you are enough!"

Snow felt that the other party seemed to be provoking him, so he couldn't bear it anymore and turned his head away, shouting with displeasure.

The rabbi next to him was full of confusion about the situation. He didn't understand that Snow was fine, why did he suddenly explode?
"Hoha? What's the matter, little boy? Are you upset? If you are upset, I can explain it, hehehe..."

Kanda raised his chin, pointed his nostrils at him, and even the ponytail on the back of his head hopped and hopped.

"Forget it... you can do it, I admit it."

Like a deflated ball, Snow walked towards the tent with drooping shoulders and a face full of reluctance.

　Got a smart recommendation from the system.
