king of the castle

Chapter 153

Corpse worms and nightmare beasts are both creatures in the abyss of the demon world, and the abyss of the demon world is also the site of many high-level undead creatures, so it is very natural to connect the two with undead creatures. 【】And Alonso III just accepted Roger's report a few days ago and ordered the Privy Council to issue a warning against undead creatures disguised as humans. With so many clues combined, the Overwatch Council finally came to a conclusion that these students All were killed by undead creatures masquerading as humans.

As soon as this conclusion came out, all the nobles and ministers in the entire kingdom were panicked, and they brought several times more guards when they went out than before.Those second-generation ancestors who usually like to have fun everywhere are also much more honest, and they stay at home obediently and dare not go out when they have nothing to do.The first time these undead creatures took action, all of them were students of the knight school, and most of them were noble children. Anyone can think of who their main targets are.It is far from being brave but just stupid to turn a blind eye to such a threat at such a time.

However, there are also people who do not believe this conclusion, and the Marquis Vatel, the Minister of Military Affairs, is one of them.The deceased had Vatel's nephew, so as soon as the Overwatch Council came to a formal conclusion, he sent his henchmen to ask for a report.Vettel sat in his study, looking at the report on the table with a gloomy face, without saying a word for a long time, and didn't know what he was thinking.

The confidant who delivered this report for Vatel has been standing in front of the desk, his legs have long been trembling with fatigue.But he didn't dare to leave without the master's permission, so he could only hold on reluctantly.

I don't know how long it took before Vettel tapped his fingers on the table and asked in a very small voice, "Do you think... is this conclusion credible?"

"This is the result of the Overwatch Council. Everyone believes that this is the truth." I don't know what Vettel is thinking, but his confidant can only say cautiously: "But I think this is a bit problematic. Even if those undead creatures want to kill the nobles of the kingdom , It is also necessary to find the students of the knight school. This is the first time they have done it, and some targets with higher status can choose."

"You're right." Vettel said slowly with a gloomy expression: "The murderer is someone else!"

Hearing what the master said with such certainty, that confidant also felt a little strange.But he knew that there were some things that he couldn't ask, so he just stood there submissively, maintaining an absolutely submissive attitude.

Vettel had to do his best to control his emotions so as not to lose his temper in front of his henchmen.He has always believed that losing his temper is something only capable people do, so he will never allow himself to do the same.

Although the confidant didn't dare to ask, of course Vettel knew that this matter was definitely not done by undead creatures.How many undead creatures disguised as humans are around the capital, and what kind of missions these undead creatures have, Vettel knows clearly.In fact, the value of these undead creatures is much higher than people imagined, and it is absolutely impossible to use them to kill a few important knight school students.

Thinking of his murdered nephew, Vater felt his entire chest was filled with anger and heartache.Trulli was born to Vettel and his brother's wife, nominally his nephew but actually his own son.And even if Trulli is only Vatel's nephew, the Minister of Military Affairs must avenge him.This is Vettel's obligation as the head of the family. Only in this way can the cohesion of the entire family be maintained.

Vettel took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then asked: "Is there any result to the matter I asked you to investigate?"

"Master, I have checked it according to your request." The confidant took out a small sheepskin scroll and put it on the desk: "On the day before the incident, the behavior of other people in the school was normal, only... Both Jerry and Bonnie Brown left school much later than usual."

"It's him again..." Vettel, who was reading the scroll carefully, was taken aback for a moment, and then muttered to himself, "Could it be him who did it?"

"It is said that Master Trulli is pursuing that swordsmanship teacher named Bonnie." Vettel's confidant did inquire about many things, and bowed his head to report to the master: "However, Bonnie and Roger have gotten very close recently..."

"Stop talking." Vettel gently put down the scroll in his hand and said, "I want these two people to disappear forever, but there must be a legitimate reason, understand?"

"Obey!" Vettel's confidant had long been used to such things, and with a low reply, he exited the study.

"I would rather kill the wrong than let it go." Vettel muttered to himself while reading the scroll on the desk: "Son... Dad will avenge you!"

Roger didn't know that he had become the target of the Minister of Military Affairs to get rid of him.At this time, he was in the garden of the Duke's Mansion, carrying out a pleasant activity with Anna in his arms.

Don't get me wrong, Roger absolutely has no intention of fighting Anna in the garden of the Duke's mansion.There are so many people here that it is inconvenient to act. If the servants arrive and tell the Duke of Hamilton, Roger will most likely become the target that both the Privy Council and the Military Department want to deal with.In fact, the two are just dancing when they are hugging each other. To be precise, Anna is teaching Roger to dance.

To say that the most troublesome course for Roger in the knight school, besides martial arts, is probably dancing.As for other courses, such as multiple languages ​​and tactics, it is not a big problem for Roger, who has inherited the knowledge of the castle hub.

Whether it is martial arts or dancing, they are the skills that a knight who enters the upper class should master. Even a rough guy like Chris can perform skilled dance steps to the music.

For Luo Jie, who is about to take the graduation exam in more than three months, it is far from enough to rely on the little time in school to study, and he must seize every bit of time to improve himself, which also includes returning to school. After arriving at the duke's mansion, he also has to learn to dance.For Roger, the best candidate for a dancing partner is of course Anna, who was educated by nobles since childhood and is very proficient in all kinds of dance steps.

It's just that for Roger, there is a serious problem with dancing with Anna. This dance partner is so attractive. Not only is she more beautiful than a movie star, but her figure is also at the level of an international supermodel, so that Roger put his arms around Anna. I always have to be distracted from time to time. In addition to often stepping on the wrong dance steps, I can't help but put my hands in the wrong place, and often touch places on Anna that shouldn't be touched.Not long after the two had danced, Anna's pretty face was reddish and she was panting softly. Of course, this was not from being tired, but from being constantly harassed by Roger.

If anyone else dared to do this, the Duke's daughter would have turned against her long ago.However, when Anna faced Roger who did this, she couldn't get angry at all. Instead, she seemed to be enjoying it, and the two danced in this wonderful tacit understanding.
