I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 24 The main storyline appears!
In the Noble City, inside a noble villa.

Meredith stood at the door of the villa, looking down at a corpse on the ground.

This was an old man wearing a winter tuxedo. He was lying on the ground with a pale face, a look of pain and a hint of astonishment, and blood was oozing from his chest and waist.

Meredith looked back at the door behind him, then at the corpse on the ground. After roughly estimating the distance between them, he raised his eyebrows.

"What a powerful killer, what a fast knife."

A white-skinned man standing at the side, wearing a military uniform and a neck ornament similar to an Elizabethan collar, quickly bent down to greet him.

"Yes, yes, the murderer's skills were extraordinary. The housekeeper, who was three meters behind the door, was killed before he could even scream.

The murderer only used two knife strikes to kill the butler, one stabbing in the butler's waist and the second stabbing through the heart.

Then, none of the other seven people in the house survived; they were all killed in the ambush, and each was stabbed to death with two blows... but there was one exception."

Meredith turned her head to look at the white-skinned man, who was a colonel in the Royal Guards and the captain of the patrol team in the Noble City. He was responsible for the security of this inner city.

So, when Meredith arrived at the house, the captain also rushed over immediately.

Whether you can make meritorious service is another matter, but if you are blamed, you must pass it on. If you want to pass it on, you have to be at the scene. If you are not there, you will not know how others can put the blame on you.

"Who is the exception?"

"The owner of this house, Baron Kada, was tied to the bed and stabbed over a hundred times before his death. Each of the attacks avoided vital parts of his body. He ultimately died because his blood ran dry."

"It sounds like he didn't die very happily, which is a real shame."

Meredith had a blank expression on her face and gave a fake response.

He knew Viscount Kada, a minor nobleman with some peculiar interests and hobbies. Meredith once thought about using the former's leverage to threaten him and become a non-staff member and informant of Peace Dove.

But after careful consideration, Meredith gave up the idea, not because of morality, but simply because Viscount Kada did not have the ability to do the thing.

And now it seems that he has joined the Dove of Peace... and without his knowledge.

There are traitors among the doves of peace.

who is it?

Meredith stepped over the corpse and walked forward. The captain followed quickly with a smile on his face.

"Have you found out why the assassin came here to kill people?"

"Found it. There's a secret room in Viscount Kada's house. Inside the secret room is a tunnel. Inside the house at the exit of the tunnel are three bodies."

The captain paused here and signaled with his eyes... Do you want me to continue?
No need, Meredith probably guessed what had happened. Viscount Kada was murdered to silence him, and the three corpses at the exit of the tunnel were obviously the missing black pigeons.

Before their death, they must have carried out some mission that the traitor did not want themselves and the Emperor to know about.

Meredith left the house and handed the murder scene over to the patrol captain.

As a secret service agency, the Dove of Peace has no law enforcement power in the country. It is similar to an on-site investigation and cannot act alone... This is the shackles given to the Dove of Peace by the Emperor, and it is also a kind of protection.

Meredith left not because he felt guilty, but because he wanted to verify another thing.

"grown ups."

As soon as Meredith walked out of the house and came to the carriage outside, a peace dove hurried over with an extremely ugly expression.

"The pigeon breeder of Neyama No. 4 has disappeared."

A flash of anger immediately appeared in the depths of Meredith's eyes.

A traitor!
"Where's his family?"

"He's gone too. The place is empty." "Send someone to track him down immediately!"

"Yes!"

……

"Isaac, I have to run."

"Ah, what did you say? Are you going out to buy groceries?"

In the medical room, Isaac, who had just woken up, had his eyes wide open, looking puzzled.

He couldn't understand why Chris came over and said this.

"No, I mean, I have to flee immediately, leave Neama, or even flee the Bohemian Empire."

Chris's expression was serious, which made Isaac's face quickly become serious as well.

"what's going on?"

"It's hard to say what it is...but I have to leave Neama as soon as possible. If I leave too late, I won't be able to leave."

Chris smiled bitterly. Really, he didn't know how to tell Isaac about his own affairs.

The boomerang named "Player" hitting his head was so painful and embarrassing that Chris didn't know how to describe his experience to the next person.

If you can't explain it, there's no way to say it, then don't explain it, just let me know.

"You can take this apartment of mine. I'll sign the transfer contract and you can go through the formalities. I probably won't be able to return to Neama in this lifetime."

As Chris spoke, he handed the contract to Isaac. This house was given to him by the latter, and now returning it to him can be regarded as returning the property to its original owner.

"No, I'll arrange for someone to take care of it. You don't have to give it to me. If you want to leave the Bohemian Empire, you need someone to help you... I have a caravan, and the unsold goods are the best reason to leave Neama."

"Oh, when will your caravan be ready?"

Chris's eyes lit up. This was a pleasant surprise.

The situation in the Bohemian Empire is very complicated. The laws in different provinces and noble territories are different. If you run around without a suitable identity, you will easily be arrested by the locals as a bandit.

If there was a cover, Chris's escape would be smoother and safer, and he would not have to go through the pain of displacement.

"Now."

Isaac said.

"Then let's go."

Chris turned around, walked out of the medical room, and issued the main task to the nine players outside.

"Brothers, I need your help..."

+Main Story——Prologue: Escape

Lin Ruoyu suddenly stood up from the sofa, staring at the virtual information box that popped up in front of him with wide eyes.

This... this is the main quest!
I knew that the assassination was right, even though seven people were killed and the mission was not completed. However, the emergence of this main storyline means that the player's behavior has promoted the development of the main storyline of the game!
"Of course, no problem, Your Highness Chris, your life is my life, I will definitely..."

"Me too!"

"Go quickly, go quickly!"
