Chapter 128
At this point, things have begun to see a little clue.

But even if Anthony's guess comes true, the Grand Duchess and Miss are the key to all doubts and solutions, and there is still not much clue as to how to solve the current puzzle.

The sun has risen to the middle of the sky, and the thoughtful people hurriedly finished their lunch, and then scattered again to start their own busyness.

Princess Yalena and Caton went to visit the Grand Duke Edwards again.Although the other party deliberately avoided the princess and his party, the chances of finding it were not great, but they still had to try.

Lin Zhifeng, Xu Feng and the other four found extremely important information in the morning and made a great contribution.At this time, the spirit was uplifted, and he was about to make persistent efforts to give himself extra points with his actual performance, so he also went out and scattered to continue looking for clues.

Even the two team leaders were provoked by Lin Zhifeng and others who had always looked down upon them, and followed them to the street, hoping to find some useful news.

As for Anthony, he swallowed the last mouthful of food slowly, picked up the top-quality tea from the Duke's mansion, and tasted it for a while, and finally wiped his hands with a towel that was still warm.

After he finished all this, he was the only one left in the hall.

Throwing down the towel in his hand, Anthony stood up and walked towards his room.

He didn't go to the Grand Duke or the Duchess, nor did he search for clues all over the street.Instead, he went back to the room alone, crossed his legs, and practiced a different world's self-cultivation technique: Hunyuan Guiyigong.

The sun is gradually setting to the west.

When the twilight of the setting sun spread over the courtyard of the Grand Duke's Mansion, everyone returned to the hall again.

Princess Yalena, as expected, did not find the Grand Duke Edwards.

However, Lin Zhifeng and others failed to continue their good luck in the morning and returned empty-handed.

Although the two captains and their elite team members have high levels of martial arts, when it comes to inquiring information from civilians who they usually ignore at all, the effect is not worth looking forward to.

When things are not going well, everyone will inevitably feel a little downcast and frustrated.Everyone sat around in the hall, losing the interest to speak.For a moment, the atmosphere seemed very oppressive and dull.

Yalena suddenly remembered something, raised her head, and looked around: "Hey, where's Anthony?"

……

In the luxurious and quiet room, Anthony, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his closed eyes.

An imperceptible gleam was fleeting in his eyes.

After practicing breath adjustment for an entire afternoon, Anthony only felt that he was full of energy and in excellent condition at the moment.Even the bottleneck in the middle stage of gas refining, which had been impacted for a long time, has been loosened a lot.It seems that as long as you gather your true energy again and make a final blow, you can break through.

But Anthony suppressed the temptation in his heart, resolutely accepted the effort, and stood up.

He knew exactly what he was doing.With an extremely firm will, he can eliminate all temptations and interference, and keep himself on the predetermined route.

Anthony didn't look around for clues and opportunities like everyone else, because he already had calculations in his heart.

If his guess about the truth comes true, then the next action will require him to maintain the fullest true energy and the peak state.

Even now that Anthony no longer needs to fight alone, the twenty silver fighters guarded by Yalena, together with the "Azure Sword Master" Caton, are enough to crush all enemies who dare to stand in front of him. The power is naturally much stronger.

But this time, they may not have the opportunity to display their strong fighting strength.

All of this, in the end, I'm afraid I have to figure it out by myself.

Let's confirm the situation first.

Anthony smiled wryly in his heart, not sure whether he wanted to guess more correctly and guess more wrong.

"Please magic!"

After a lapse of two months, Anthony once again launched the ultimate skill of pressing the bottom of the box.

Listen carefully.The psychic beast hidden under the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sutra table can identify all things in the world by listening, especially good at listening to people's hearts.

Listen to the tiger's head, one-horn, dog's ears, dragon's body, lion's tail, and unicorn's feet. It looks like a dragon and not a dragon, like a tiger but not a tiger, like a lion but not a lion, like a kylin but not a kylin, like a dog but not a dog.

Anthony is going to use the "listening skills" of the listening beast beyond ordinary people's imagination to solve the puzzle.

He stood still in the middle of the room, and the real energy in his body flowed rapidly to supply the consumption of the magic spell.

In the void behind him, the phantom of the divine beast "Nine Unlikeness" slowly emerged. Under the phantom, the ears on both sides seemed to gradually become longer and sharper, like two dog ears.

As the shape of his ears changed, Anthony only felt that his hearing was getting better and better.The sound of Princess Yalina and the others talking in the hall outside, the footsteps of people walking around in the yard, and even the sound of mosquitoes and flies flapping their wings in the street, could all be heard clearly.

The "listening skills" of Di Ting are really extraordinary!

Feeling the passing of true essence, Anthony didn't dare to enjoy this extraordinary experience recklessly, and quickly turned his ears to the independent courtyard that he couldn't enter in the morning.

……

The Grand Duke Edwards, whom Princess Yalena couldn't find, certainly didn't really have any urgent matters to deal with.

At this moment, the Grand Duke is in a certain room in the Duke's mansion, with a face full of anger and fear.

"Your Excellency is also a top powerhouse in the golden realm, how can you be so dishonest and break your promise!"

Not far from the Grand Duke, there was a graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman and a young girl who looked quite similar to the Grand Duke.The faces of the two were dim, and their expressions were pitiful, which only made the Grand Duke Edwards feel distressed.

These two women and girls are the Duchess and Miss who have not shown their faces since Princess Yalena entered the province of Aberdeen.

Naturally, the Grand Duke was not angry at his wife and daughter.

In the middle of the two seats, there was a tall and thin old man sitting cross-legged.The Grand Duke Edwards just shouted at him angrily.

The old man's expression was leisurely and complacent, and he was not angry at all: "Grand Duke Edwards, please pay attention to your words and attitude. The current situation is that I am a knife, and you are all fish. It will not do you any good to anger me. And you If the person next to me dares to take another sneaky step forward, I will cut off one of Madam's arms!"

The warrior in black standing next to the Grand Duke stopped immediately upon hearing the words, and gave the old man a hard look.

Although the old man who appeared suddenly had the martial arts realm of a golden fighter, the black-clothed warrior was also unafraid.But the Duchess and Miss fell into the hands of each other, and under the control of the other party, the black-clothed warrior had a whole body of skills, but he was completely unable to display them.

The Grand Duke suppressed his anger and slowed down his tone: "Your Excellency originally said that as long as the Duke agrees to delay the princess for a day, he will let my wife and daughter go free. Now that you are breaking your promise and wanting the Duke to send troops two days later, what is it?" reason?"

The old man casually picked up a peanut on the table and threw it into his mouth. He smashed it and said with his mouth, "Truth? The lives of your wife and daughter are in my hands. What I say is truth!"

The Grand Duke blushed with anger, but there was nothing he could do.

He figured it out now.The old man threatened his wife's daughter with the intention of preventing Aberdeen from sending troops and buying precious time for Duke Keqis of Taranto.It was only because I was worried that I might not agree to directly stating the ultimate goal, so I used the strategy of "boiling the frog in warm water" to gradually disintegrate my psychological defense.

Since it has been delayed for a day, what does it matter if it is a day or two later?If you don't agree to the other party's request, the wife and the precious daughter will die.

It had to be admitted that the Grand Duke was shaken.Even if he has seen through the opponent's strategy.

On the one hand, it is a matter of military affairs, on the other hand, it is a family relationship of flesh and blood.How to choose, it is difficult to choose.

Although the state affairs are big, Aberdeen does not send troops, and there are other provinces and grand dukes who can send troops to counter the rebellion.If the wife's daughter's life is not saved by herself, who else will come to save her?

Ten feet away, the old man sat at the other end of the room, wantonly admiring the angry and tangled expression on the Grand Duke's face, and felt very pleased.

He knew that the strength of the warrior in black was definitely not inferior to his own, and he also knew that the power in the hands of the Grand Duke could easily kill him ten or eight times.But the short distance of ten feet between the two sides is an insurmountable natural moat, and it has also become a magic weapon for his own life.

It seems that there should be no problem to complete this task.As long as the Grand Duke Edwards still cared about the lives of his wife and children, the longer the time dragged on, the less likely he would do anything.In ten and a half months, when Taranto gained a firm foothold, he would hold the two women hostage and leave the Duke's mansion and Aberdeen.At that time, as long as he left the opponent's base camp, with his strength as a golden fighter, he might not be able to escape?
Just when the old man was complacent and the Grand Duke Edwards was at his wit's end, Anthony's figure appeared in front of the door.As soon as he lifted his foot, he stepped into the room.
