Let's play cards! In a different world of swords and magic

You Ling: "What's with your tone of voice when you're setting a flag? Well, since I'm staying in the palace, as the third princess, there shouldn't be anything to worry about."

Even You Ling couldn't help but feel sorry for the fact that he had lost his worries at such a young age.

Chapter 182: The Fog is Coming

At 6:40 in the morning, Willy Barrett, lying in an alley, was found by the guards on morning patrol.

Half an hour later, Duke Barrett, who had fainted in the house, was also discovered by the maid, who immediately reported it to the guards.

After carefully inspecting the scene, the guards speculated that the Dark Game was the cause of the cards scattered around and the victims' confused state of amnesia. However, they did not find Willy Barrett's Elf Eye.

After that, the Royal Capital Guard entered an unprecedented high alert state.

The royal capital, which is known for the best public security management in the country, has not seen a case of this nature for more than ten years.

Moreover, all the victims were from the Marquis' family, so it was obvious that they were being targeted.

Based on what happened at the banquet yesterday, the guards initially concluded that the family with the greatest motive was the Carlos family, which had clashed with the Marquis' family yesterday.

However, according to subsequent speculation, the two people from the Carlos family were the least likely to have committed the crime.

The second daughter, Aisha Carlos, had been with the little princess Nova last night. This was an unquestionable alibi, and no one dared to doubt the third princess' words.

Not to mention the eldest daughter, Alice Carlos, who did not have the Eyes of the Elf and was not even a duelist. This was known to everyone in the aristocratic circle.

After losing the initial clues of suspicion, the guard team had no choice but to change the direction of investigation.

This change in the direction of the investigation is even more troublesome.

There are simply too many suspects with motives.

The bottom line is that the Marquis' family is so powerful that they have taken advantage of the interests of too many other families in Livolden.

In addition, Willy Barrett is a complete playboy with an arrogant and domineering personality, which has sown many seeds of hatred in daily life.

The guards' sweeping search caused panic in the capital.

However, the search process could not proceed any further at 9 o'clock in the morning.

The reason is very strange.

The fog is coming.

The natural phenomenon of fog is not uncommon.

But this time, it was unprecedented. The extremely thick fog that was so thick that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face completely enveloped the royal capital.

Even daily travel was difficult, and traffic in the royal capital was instantly paralyzed after being shrouded in thick fog.

In desperation, the Guards had to suspend their search for the Marquis' murder and instead dispatched personnel to maintain order in the capital in the thick fog.

In the bedroom of the three queens——

"Are you okay, Aisha?"

The little princess Nova, who had been holding the little blue dragon for a whole night and was reluctant to let go, rubbed the little blue dragon while asking Aisha Carlos who was standing by the window with concern.

"Aisha, you seem to be worried about something since a while ago. Just like my big brother, he doesn't say anything but is worried."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Nova, I was just thinking about something."

Thinking about the problem is fake, discussing it with You Ling is real.

In the morning, after learning from the Guards that Willy Barrett had been involved in a dark game, his elf eye had been taken away, and even his memory had been messed up, Aisha and You Ling immediately thought of one person.

Lukaslint. To be more precise, it is the dark personality of Luka's Millennium Wisdom Wheel.

In a normal dark game, according to the rules of the Elf Continent, even if you lose, only one card will be taken away.

But just half a year ago, a similar incident occurred in Fu Sheng College.

Irena's Elf Eyes were taken away, and she also lost her memory of the Dark Game.

It's exactly the same as Willy Barrett's current situation.

The culprit of that incident was the one who used the power of the Three Phantom Demons, Harmon, to steal the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom from Irena's Elf Eye.

The most important thing is that a few days ago, Luca, who was crying behind bars, was transferred back to the country on bail.

"Mr. You Ling, do you think Luca did this?"

"It's hard to say." You Ling calmly judged: "Even if it was Luka who did it, what's the motive? I can't think of it."

You Ling, who had duelled with Willy Barrett, knew better than anyone that the guy was just a dog that could only bark without any strength.

It would be meaningless for Lucaslint to fight with such a person and take away the Eye of the Elf, and it would even expose her own existence.

"Then let me ask you another question. Mr. You Ling, do you think Luca will come back to Liwarden?"

"meeting."

This time You Ling answered very decisively without hesitation.

"why?"

"Because the holders of the Millennium Artifact will be attracted to each other."

Based on the Law of Stand User which has been proven many times in practice, You Ling concluded that Luca would never stay in the Saint Varian Empire obediently.

"Lucaslint will definitely come back."

"I will definitely come back."

Aixia has always trusted You Ling unconditionally, and she will not doubt You Ling's judgment this time.

The girl's delicate green eyes looked outside through the luxurious floor-to-ceiling windows in the palace bedroom.

Of course, nothing could be seen clearly. Covered by thick fog, all Aixia could see was endless white.

"If Luca came back, or if Luca was in the capital now, what would she do?"

Aisha thought silently, and at that moment she recalled Luka's heart-wrenching request for help before she was imprisoned, and the resentful look in her eyes after she was ignored, as if she was risking her life.

"If Luca comes back, she will definitely choose revenge."

After coming to this conclusion, Aisha felt extremely complicated.

"revenge……"

Then, after realizing this possibility, Aisha suddenly had a vision in her mind.

If Luca came to seek revenge on me, what would I do? Where would I start?

The illusion at this moment made Aisha's green eyes reflect the real image.

An ominous premonition came over her. Through the white light of the mysterious fog in front of her, Aisha seemed to see the "future" at this moment, as if she saw the appearance of her sister Alice.

In the thick fog, Alice Carlos was standing alone and helpless in a pool of blood. Her blood-stained fingertips were still holding a broken elf eye.

"elder sister?"

If Lucaslint is really determined to seek revenge on me, she will take revenge on me severely.

Then the top priority target may not be yourself, but your closest relatives.

Aisha saw the illusory future through the thick fog and realized that such a possibility did exist, and she could no longer sit still.

"I'm so sorry, Your Highness Nova, I have to go back!"

"Go back, Aisha, are you leaving? Didn't we agree that you would accompany me to summon monsters later?"

"I'm sorry, I have something I have to confirm right now. But I will definitely come back, Your Highness Nova, wait for me!"

"Is there something I have to confirm?"

In front of the anxious Aisha, even the little princess Nova restrained her innate willfulness and nodded obediently.

"That must be something very important to Aisha. Okay, got it. I'll wait here for you to come back."

Chapter 183: The Darkness that Corrodes the Soul

After leaving the palace out of concern for Alice and rushing into the thick fog, Aisha Carlos realized his own naivety.

It was pitch dark, and there was an unprecedentedly thick fog. After entering this world covered by white light, Aisha quickly lost her sense of direction.

It was difficult to even see a single landmark. The fog that descended upon the capital was truly a natural disaster.

“Σ(°△°|||) Oh, what should I do? What should I do?”

Like a small boat stranded on the boundless ocean, the scenery ahead, behind, left and right were exactly the same, making Aisha have no idea where to go. Even if she wanted to turn back, she couldn't find the right direction.

"Damn it, if only I had brought a compass!"

But who would have thought that when traveling in the royal capital, one would need a compass, a tool for survival in the wild?

There's no other way. I've already walked out, and now the only thing left is to move forward.

Relying on his unreliable sense of direction, Aisha Carlos explored towards the mansion in his memory.

The already unfamiliar capital looked even more eerie under the thick fog.

After groping for about five minutes, we suddenly heard the melodious sound of a girl humming a nursery rhyme from the depths of the fog.

The song is lively and pleasant, with a cheerful rhythm mixed with a somewhat sad melody, which can easily touch the hearts of the listeners.

But what shocked Aisha the most was the owner of the voice humming this nursery rhyme.

"Mr. You Ling, this voice, could it be?"

"That's right, Lucaslint!"

Luka's voice was so recognizable. Even though they hadn't heard it for half a year, Aisha and Youling still remembered it clearly.

"So you've finally come to the capital, Luca?"

Rather than groping around in the thick fog, Aisha chose to jog directly in the direction of the singing.

As the sound got closer, the blurry silhouette of the blonde girl appeared in Aisha's sight in the thick fog.

"Luka! Luka!"

However, no matter how Aixia called out or how she increased the frequency of her running, she could not get any closer to the girl in front of her.

Until the singing faded away and the figure disappeared from Aixia's sight, Aixia, who was exhausted, stopped chasing.

She took deep breaths of the thick fog around her. The cold water vapor in the fog caused a burning pain in the girl's oxygen-deprived lungs.

"What on earth is going on?"

First he foresaw Alice standing in a pool of blood, then he got lost in the fog, and now he can't even find Luca.

Aixia, who felt that everything was going wrong, actually felt like crying.

In the fog, another sound of heavy footsteps was heard.

The muffled footsteps clearly did not sound like those of a girl, and unlike Luca's, the footsteps were approaching Aisha.

"Who is it this time?"

As her brain was affected by the increasingly bizarre environment around her, Aisha even began to be confused as to whether all this was a dream or reality.

Until she saw the serious and terrifying face emerging from the fog, like a ferocious ghost.

“(*?ロ?) Ghost——!”

Aixia was so frightened that her sin value plummeted, and she screamed subconsciously.

"Student Aisha?"

"(;≧Д≦) Don't eat me, I don't have much flesh, it's hard on my teeth! Mr. Ghost, you should pick someone with big breasts, I'm super flat, sorry!"

Crouching with her head in her hands, Aixia was willing to admit the cruel reality that she had never dared to acknowledge in order to save her life.

"Mr. You Ling, save me!"

Although Aixia was terrified and asked You Ling for help, You Ling ignored her this time.

The reason is simple. The person standing in front of Aixia is not a ghost.

"Calm down, Aisha Carlos-san!"

"Alas?"

The ghost actually called her name and asked her to calm down. Aixia, who was squatting on the ground, finally regained a bit of courage and looked up again.
