Instead, it is a kind of shame and annoyance. After all, in their traditional concepts, the experience of elders is valuable, and it is wrong for younger generations not to listen to their elders.

But the reality before Louis was as if Louis was wrong.

Obviously, without the education and work experience he provided to Chelinina, she would never be able to stand in front of him like today.

"President Chelinina." Just because these two people don't talk doesn't mean that others won't cause trouble for them.

At this time, the president of a small chamber of commerce came to Chelinina.

"I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce of the Duke of Lucia. Our Lucia region has always been bitterly cold, and warm clothing is the most in-demand item there. What do you think...should we discuss a deal now..."

"Hmm..." Chelinina thought for a while, then nodded.

Just at this moment, a waiter ran in from outside the door.

"I'm sorry, Miss Chelinina. Someone claiming to be your subordinate came to report to us outside the door just now. He said that..." The waiter whispered a few words in Chelinina's ear, and the latter looked at him in shock.

"Is what you said true?"

"That subordinate of yours told me this. I can't tell the truth from the false. I'm sorry."

The others clearly noticed Chelinina's panic. Just as they were about to ask something, Chelinina quickly stood up and walked out of the hotel.

The Chamber of Commerce president who was left alone by Chelinina was also stunned.

"What's happening here?"

It's hard not to think of other things when someone suddenly leaves without saying goodbye at such an important meeting.

Chapter 91: Concern leads to confusion

"Your Highness, His Majesty has agreed to allow Master Orson to temporarily stay in your palace."

At this time, the guard Elsa sent to find Odysseus to report the news also came back, and he respectfully brought back Odysseus's reply.

Elsa nodded in satisfaction.

"I understand. You can leave first. And have someone prepare a room for Master Orson to stay in. Otherwise, I will have nowhere to live."

"Yes, sir." The guard nodded upon hearing this.

"Okay." Elsa said, turning her head to look at Orson, "Guess when she will come?"

"It shouldn't take long, if she knows the news."

Orson replied casually as he sat on his bed reading a book.

After a few minutes, a maid came in.

"Your Highness, Lady Olivia is at the door of the palace asking to see you."

"Since His Majesty has let her in, why should he stop her?" Elsa said, raising her eyebrows and looking at the maid. "Besides, she is the fiancée of Master Orson. Do you still need to ask me for an answer on such a matter?"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. It was my negligence." Upon hearing this, the maid quickly bowed her head to apologize, then trotted out.

Half a minute later, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

The door was pushed open.

Olivia appeared in front of Orson. She was only wearing a coat, and her home clothes underneath. It seemed that she had rushed over as soon as she heard the news that Orson had woken up, and she didn't even change into clothes to meet the emperor.

She glanced around the room and immediately saw Orson lying on the bed reading a book.

At this moment, Orson had already put the book down and turned to look at Olivia.

"Olivia, you're here?"

Olivia didn't say anything, she walked straight to the bed, squatted down, and looked at Orson with heartache.

"Orson, I heard that you were attacked while investigating, right..."

"Yeah." Orson nodded and then smiled.

"It's okay, Olivia, look, I'm fine now, right?"

As if to reassure Olivia, Orson patted his chest.

"Now I just need to rest. It's a good opportunity to rest for a while. No one will threaten my life here."

"Well, that's best." Olivia was relieved to see that Orson was fine.

But she still felt a little scared in her heart.

I heard that Orson was saved by someone passing by. If that person hadn't passed by, would Orson have died on the spot?

Olivia didn't dare to think about it that way. If Orson disappeared, she would definitely not be rational.

In this way, she could understand why the Duke of Orleans repeatedly questioned the royal investigation.

"Promise me that you won't do such risky things again, okay?"

Olivia adjusted her mood and then spoke.

"Don't worry, I won't do this again."

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Olivia suddenly closed her eyes and moved her head towards Orson's face.

Just when the two were about to come close to each other, a crisp cough was heard from the side.

"Cough cough."

At this time, the two realized that they were now in Elsa's room, and what they were doing was not a good idea.

"Anyway, Olivia, you can see now that Orson is fine. Can you rest assured?"

"Well, thank you, Princess, for the rescue." Olivia said politely.

However, with Elsa's interruption, the originally charming atmosphere between the two disappeared. After chatting for a while, Olivia finally went back first.

……

On the other side, inside the Imperial College.

If there is any safe place in Saint Laurent City besides the Imperial Palace, then the Imperial College is definitely one of the safest places.

Not to mention the abilities of the Imperial Academy's tutors, the security guards at the gate alone are enough to give ordinary invading enemies a hard time.

At this moment, next to Orson's dormitory, is Lena's dormitory.

Late at night, Lena rushed out from the woods nearby and then tiptoed towards her room.

As soon as she stepped into the house, Lena felt something was wrong, and then, as expected, she was lifted up by the back of the neck by a pair of hands.

"Hey! Let me go. I'm going to hit you when I get angry!" Lena said with her teeth bared.

"Then tell me what you did all day today." Lianka's cold voice came from behind.

"Orson entrusted you to me and asked me to take good care of you, but you ran away. How can I explain this to Orson?"

"I... I have something to do!" Lena said this, and after struggling a few times, she broke free from Lianka, then turned around and looked at her.

"Besides, I've already asked for leave from my teacher, and the note has been approved for me, so why can't I go out?"

"But it's very dangerous outside now." Lianka said quickly. "Although you are very powerful, you don't have much combat experience after all."

"Then I'm fine now..." Lena muttered softly.

"Ok?"

"No, no, what I meant is, thank you for your concern, Sister Lianka. I will definitely inform you of my itinerary next time."

"Yeah." Li Anka nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, I'll go back first. You should get some rest early. You still have classes tomorrow."

Although the order in Saint Laurent City has become chaotic, the Imperial College still maintains normal teaching order, which is very commendable.

"Okay~ Then I'll rest first~" Lena said, yawned, and then went upstairs.

Lianka looked at Lena's back and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, she lowered her head and saw the shoes that Lena had changed after she came in.

There was a lot of mud on the heels of a pair of brown boots.

"That's strange. Is Lena going on an outing?" Lianka muttered to herself in confusion, and then left.

……

On the other side, Chelinina returned to her office.

She went to the palace, but was stopped because she was not a noble.

It would take a while to ask the Emperor for permission to enter the palace, and Chelinina couldn't just stand there anxiously, so she went back to her Chamber of Commerce office.

"Lorenzo, help me contact all the mercenary groups that can be contacted, and search the woods outside the city to see if we can find any trace of the person who injured Orson."

"Excuse me, President." Lorenzo stepped forward to stop Chelinina. "As the saying goes, worrying too much can lead to confusion. Since Master Orson is fine now, we don't need to be so anxious. The most urgent thing is to take care of our own affairs. President, you should hurry back to attend the business conference. I will help you deal with these."

"...No, Lorenzo, I want to handle this myself." Celinina said, rejecting Lorenzo's proposal. "Anyway, please help me contact the mercenary group. Even if they are useless here, Orson will always be able to use them."

Chapter 92: Key Clues

"It's very strange. The other party has clearly fought with Young Master Orson, but apart from the traces of battle at the scene, there are no other signs of enemy activities around." Late at night, after the search team outside the city came back, they gave the investigation report on the circumstances around Orson's attack to the high-level knight Owen. As an eighth-level knight, he was also the chief security officer for the city of Saint Laurent.

Of course, he was promoted not long ago. Due to the assassination of the Duke, the former Chief Sheriff Langdon had been dismissed for investigation. Owen was appointed to the position and, in accordance with the royal order, strengthened the security of Saint Laurent City.

However, what happened afterwards continued to undermine Owen's confidence. Not only did the investigation of the case make no progress, but nobles were still assassinated in Saint Laurent City. Although the assassination took place outside the city and it was Orson who took the initiative to chase them out, the reason was that the sheriff failed to do his duty and let suspicious people enter Saint Laurent City.

But after all, this matter is not something that an ordinary sheriff can handle.

Although these sheriffs generally have a strength of more than level five and are accompanied by a group of guards, which is enough to maintain the city's law and order on weekdays, the strength of the enemy this time has not yet been determined. According to intelligence analysis, the enemy is at least level eight.

If an enemy of this level wants to sneak into the city without being noticed by the sheriffs, how can others guard against him?

Although Owen is quite powerful, he doesn't have a clone, and it is impossible for him to be at every city gate at all times.

Not to mention that others can climb over the wall and take the tunnel.

In this case, generally only the magician's detection barrier can work. This magic can set up a barrier in a designated area, and anything that passes through the barrier will be sensed by the magician.

But Saint Laurent City is too big. If they can find a magician who can cast magic in a range large enough to cover the entire Saint Laurent City, then the other party will definitely be able to easily find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

Therefore, unless the economic activities in Saint Laurent City are completely stopped, all people are prohibited from entering and leaving, and the suspects who try to sneak in and out of the city are arrested, it is possible to restrict the other party's activities.

"Sorry..." The guard who delivered the information lowered his head.

"But the intelligence we have on the scene is very limited. Even if we called in magicians, they only said that only Master Orson used magic during the battle. There is no way to locate the opponent through the use of magic."

"Okay then." Owen nodded. "Then there's nothing I can do. I can only go and look for a witness."

Having said this, Owen left the office and came to the temporary room in the General Security Office for those who were unable to leave.

Owen stood in front of the door, straightened his collar, and then knocked gently.

The door was not soundproof, and Owen soon heard footsteps coming from inside, and then the door was opened from the inside.

"Ms. Sherlock, I'm sorry to bother you so late." Owen first apologized politely, and then explained his purpose.

"Regarding the suspect who returned to the Orchid Tavern today, do you have any concrete evidence?"

Sherlock looked at Owen and shook his head.

"No, didn't I tell you that? The man was wearing all black. I was following Orson at the time, but before I could even take a few glances at him, he jumped out the window and left. Orson followed me out as well."

"Wait a minute, please repeat it." Owen finally reacted at this time.

"Uh..." Sherlock looked at Owen's reaction and although he was a little confused, he repeated it.

"You just said... the other party jumped out of the window, right?"

"Yeah." Sherlock nodded.

"According to the report from the magician, there was no sign of magic used by Mr. Orson at the scene of the attack. Considering his experience of escaping by jumping out of the window, then, Miss Sherlock, as a detective, can you deduce anything?"

"Wait! What did you just say? Orson was attacked? He...he was also killed?" Sherlock asked in disbelief.

During the day she thought that Orson wouldn't have any problems chasing after him, but at night she was told that Orson was dead too?

Then I am somewhat blessed by saying this.

Owen looked at Sherlock's surprised reaction, shook his head and sighed helplessly.

"No, Master Orson was only injured. If he had been killed, it wouldn't be me standing here talking to you. It would be someone else."

"Anyway, continuing with the topic just now, what code can you deduce?"
