The intensity of the attack might be a bit lacking, but the density was definitely enough. Under the firepower, Dullahan tried to use his sword to open a way out, but holding the sword with one hand was far less powerful than wielding it with both hands.

Yue Yin stepped close to his body, punched with force, and struck with a collapsed fist.

The violent energy directly penetrated the armor, and the undead knight hit the pillar. The stone pillar could not withstand the force and cracked and then collapsed. Before Du Lahan could stand up again, he came close with another move of Iron Mountain.

When facing this kind of blood cow that relies entirely on armor, physical penetration and percentage damage are particularly important.

The sword fell from his hand and fell aside.

Bai Yu picked up this mysterious ancient weapon, and a bone-chilling chill rushed down his fingers. The chill almost froze his heart.

Even though the second heart dispelled the cold in time, its side effects were strong and not driven by ordinary life energy.

But that’s okay.

He immediately let go of his hand and kicked it up with his right foot like a ball, followed by a scorpion tail kick on the bottom of the sword hilt.

The sword formed a straight line and suddenly penetrated Du Lahan's body.

Countless black mist spilled out from the cracked armor scars.

After the Headless Horseman made a tragic sound, it exploded like an inflated balloon. After the undead spirit deflated, only empty armor and weapons were left.

At the same time, the subspace blockade was also opened, just like after defeating the hidden boss, the room turned from a small dark room into a safe house.

Bai Yu dragged the sword and armor back to the corridor.

Mussel outside the mirror witnessed the whole battle, which was neither long nor short.

The first ten minutes were spent scraping and testing, but in fact the result was that he was taken away, and Du Lahan had no power to resist.

The Blood Knight didn't know much about Bai Yu's strength before, and thought that he was probably overestimating it when he first entered the third level. Later, when he chatted with Jeanne, he heard that it was the fourth level, but she didn't take it too seriously. She thought at the time that it was the fourth level. Jeanne was joking.

The Extraordinary Fourth Level is already one of the top figures under the canonization. Even in Romania, the stronghold of the vampires, he still has a considerable status.

Even among the blood clans of established aristocratic families, there are only a few people with fourth level. A deep foundation does not mean that the younger generation can be strong.

The fact of the matter is... because the Vampire Clan has its first support, it has always maintained a very loose and high-standard basic policy of recruiting talents to the outside world.

A considerable part of the population growth and maintenance of its own species relies on "foreign immigrants". One of its basic foreign policies is to give priority to marriage.

Ordinary humans are mostly looked down upon by Vampires, but this is not the case for strong ones.

In any era and in any place, the strong will receive preferential treatment. As long as a third-level knight or great magician comes to settle in Romania, once the news of their identity spreads, nobles of all sizes will soon come to visit them.

If they are unmarried men and women, as long as they are of the right age, they will be introduced to each other. Nobles from all walks of life are looking forward to adding ready-made strong men into their families. Once the first embrace ceremony is completed and the wife or husband is transformed into a vampire, then It's the same as marrying into the family.

As for vampires, they are immortal species and can live for a long time... Therefore, even if they are seventy-year-old human races, it is nothing to them. The situations of 'old husband and young wife' that they occasionally encounter in Romania may still be the latter. Even older.

As the son of a senator and having a demigod biological father, Mussel has always had a very discerning eye. He has seen many heroes of his own race and foreigners, but he doesn't take it to heart very much.

But now she realizes what it means to not reveal the real person.

Bai Yu looks young, less than thirty years old. His cultivation has steadily reached the fourth level. He can kill powerful enemies like grass. He has rich combat experience, profound knowledge, and handsome appearance.

Still unmarried.

If this spreads out, young girls in the nobility will definitely be unable to sit still.

Mussel thought to himself, no wonder the saint fell in love with him, this man has the appearance of being a saint.

She and Bai Yu had only known each other for two days, and it was taboo for them to communicate with each other briefly, but she thought she knew something about the young man.

It is rare for ordinary heroes to be brave and resourceful. Above that, he is the best with equal emphasis on wisdom, force, and appearance. What is even more rare and valuable is his character. He is not arrogant or arrogant at all. He is neither humble nor arrogant. He is a very good person. Be a gentleman.

Even though he was underestimated and imprisoned, he still maintained a calm mind and did not pressure others with his cultivation level. If an ordinary fourth-level strong man could bear such grievance, he would definitely have started a quarrel with the knights long ago.

Mussel thought about why he underestimated this treasure boy in the first place.

It may be that at first glance, Bai Yu didn't have the demeanor of a master at all, and she couldn't sense the danger on the other side at all.

Now that I realized that I had misjudged things, I recalled all the previous details, and immediately understood Bai Yu more deeply. I suddenly had a clear and thorough understanding of Bai Yu, and I had a deeper understanding of knowing people and dealing with things. .

Mussel looked at the young man who had returned from the subspace and asked cautiously: "Are you thirsty?"

Bai Yu: "?"

I, Lao Bai, was fighting life and death inside. When I came out, you asked me if I was thirsty?

Is it a question of whether my eyes are dry?

He shook his head: "The weapon that beheaded the prince has been found. As expected, it is this sword... Do you recognize it?"

"I'll go ask." Mussel ran out without saying a word.

When Bai Yu saw such a positive side of her, he didn't think much about it and just regarded it as her eagerness to solve the case.

At this time, he picked up the sword with runes engraved on it again. Because of the frost, the traces of blood left on it were clearly visible.

If you behead a prince, there will definitely be traces of blood. After checking the blood, you can determine whether it is the murder weapon.

And the more important point is that...

He looked at the hilt of the sword. There were clear traces of holding it on the hilt.

At this time, Bai Yu was hit by a bolt of lightning through the back of his head. With a flash of inspiration, the gate of the castle opened and closed.

Not long after.

Mussel ran back.

Tell the origin of this big sword.

"It is a weapon from the era of demigods, used by a frost giant bloodline, and later became a prince's collection."

"Including this suit of armor."

"But it should be stored in the prince's treasure room. I don't know why it appears here."

"Are there any requirements for using this sword?" Bai Yu asked.

"Yes." Mussel confirmed: "Ordinary people simply cannot bear its cold and mysterious nature, and its use requirements are very high."

"What if it doesn't meet the requirements?"

"It will probably hurt you back."

"Look at the marks on the hilt of the sword. Does it look like the marks left by the murderer?" Bai Yu turned the hilt of the sword.

Mussel looked down and saw that there were indeed traces of holding the sword with both hands on the hilt of the frost sword, and the ten finger prints were quite distinct.

She said: "It should be so. I'll record it and let people from the antiquities management department come and check it in detail later."

Bai Yu stuck the weapon on the ground and said, "After daybreak, call everyone together."

Mussel asked in surprise: "Is it true?"

"The last puzzle piece has appeared, and the puzzle has been solved." Bai Yu walked toward the living room, raised his right hand and stretched: "It's time to reveal the truth."

Chapter 723 There is only one truth

The sky dimly lit up.

Not long after everyone woke up, they were woken up by a knock on the door.

The vampires have the genes and habits of being night owls to some extent. Getting up early is not a good habit for many nobles. They prefer to be active in the afternoon and early midnight.

Just with the arrival of one sentence, they all cheered up and had to face this call with serious expressions.

——Starting from now on, the truth will be announced.

There were about a dozen people in the living room.

There were members of the Blood Knights who were responsible for recording, as well as nobles who came to watch.

Because the innocence of these four aristocratic girls is at stake, the family behind them naturally cannot sit idly by and ignore it. They must at least go to the scene to support their daughters.

The head of a noble family held a cane and asked directly: "The Knights are so anxious to gather everyone here. Have they really found the assassin?"

Another older vampire snorted coldly: "Wasn't it almost certain that the murderer was a member of the Frankimir family before? Why did you change your story now? Can you give me an explanation?"

Mussel said: "This call was made by me, and I will naturally tell everyone here the truth."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Bai Yu. He walked down from the second floor and looked around: "I have been investigating this case for two days, and I will be responsible for revealing the truth."

"Who are you?" A vampire elder asked: "Isn't this person from the Knights?"

"I was invited by Miss Paige..." Bai Yu introduced himself: "A detective."

"I have never heard of a detective, but Peggy Frankimir is a serious suspect!" The nobleman said with bright red eyes: "I can't trust the person she invited."

"You don't need to believe me." Bai Yu said lightly, "You just need to believe the truth."

"you……"

"Please don't interrupt me again." Bai Yu reminded: "Don't talk about topics that are not related to the case. I have no interest in getting entangled in meaningless things."

"Rampant!" The vampire noble pressed his cane angrily, and violent magic filled the entire hall.

In the whirlpool of magic power, Bai Yu turned his gaze sideways, and the soul pressure and the Wangqi force field acted at the same time. The magic power staying in the hall was pressed to the spot like dust dispersed by a pair of hands. Even the nobles who stood up were stunned. Immediately, his legs became weak and he sat back on the chair.

"I said that."

Bai Yu's eyes burst out with the scorching light of the scorching sun, almost turning into gold.

"Calm down!"

Using force to suppress others, he was suppressed on the seat in turn. The blood in the eyes of the vampire noble became richer, but his face became paler.

He was secretly shocked that he was a fourth-level person after all, but he actually felt difficulty breathing in front of this young man... What kind of monster was this detective!

Bai Yu withdrew the pressure and said calmly: "I don't like to show off force, and the same is true for relying on force and status, but... I don't like to do this, it doesn't mean that I don't have it, please maintain the most basic respect for me, Otherwise, I can only ask you to bow your head and respect me.”

No one answered.

This time the establishment of authority was very successful.

Establishing authority is to compete for the right to speak and prevent others from messing around.

"Very good, then I will start to analyze the truth."

Bai Yu said bluntly: "Before that, I want to state a major premise. The murderer is not Peggy Frankimir. The specific reasons why it cannot be her will be explained in detail later."

He took out the notes that Jeanne had taken.

"In any homicide, there are three kinds of mysteries."

"First, whodunit; second, whydunit; third, howdunit...that is, the murderer, motivation, and method."

"If you can see through the latter two, you can infer the former."

"It's just that in this era filled with a lot of magic, it's difficult to completely restore the murderer's killing methods."

He looked around.

"But fortunately..."

"In this case, both murders were committed by the same person, and both occurred in Opal Palace."

"People from outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out."

"In other words, the six people involved in the blind date at the scene are the direct candidates for suspicion, and the murderer... is also among the six of them."

"Excluding the dead Julia, one of the five people who are still alive must be the murderer."

Bai Yu looked at the others and asked, "At this point, do you have any questions? If so, you can ask directly."

"I have a question." Rena was the one who spoke. She raised her hand and said timidly: "For example, what if the other party is hiding in subspace? There are many subspaces in this palace, right?"

Bai Yu nodded and said: "It is true that there is subspace in this Opal Palace, but it is almost impossible for the murderer to hide in it and come and go freely. If you want to say why, I have already tested this. Once you enter the subspace, , was locked up and couldn’t get out until the monsters in the room were killed.”

"And a little bit at the same time."

"If the other party is already safe hiding in the subspace, then there is no need for him to kill Julia."

"The body of Julia's familiar was found in the subspace, but she herself had not entered it."

"This proves that she may have discovered some clues, but does not really know who the murderer is, otherwise she could have reported it directly."

"Even so, the murderer killed her because these clues might reveal the murderer's identity."

Reina opened her mouth and put her hand down again.

Bai Yu continued: "I just mentioned that through the corpse of Julia's familiar, we found the weapon used by the murderer to cut off the prince's head...that is, this big sword."

Mussel opened the white cloth on the table, revealing the armor and sword.
