Chapter 517: Interlocking Events
Although the battle was temporarily suspended, the huge abnormal celestial phenomenon had already caught the attention of those who were interested.
The result of this brief confrontation between the two families quickly spread in a small circle.
[Silvermoon Traveler] As a veteran ninth-level warrior, Talina, relying on the Thousand Towers Forest, was able to contend with the ninth-level ultimate golden dragon knight Sid, and even forced the opponent to not dare to attack easily even in the liberated state.
You know, the dragon knights of the Aslade family are different from ordinary ninth-level professionals. As one of the natural legendary creatures, the combat power of their companion dragons is even greater than that of the knights themselves.
After learning the exact news of the battle, many outside forces that were spying on the four major families immediately began to re-evaluate and correct the true power of the Thousand Towers Forest.
At the same time, the two major families that each took half of the broken sword also began to conduct further in-depth investigations into the matter.
Aslade and Enoch are both from the four major families of the empire. In fact, both sides can see the suspicious points of this matter.
Since they were trying to silence the witnesses, why not cover up the traces of the Web of Fate? As descendants of the Enoch family, who were famous for their various profound secrets, couldn't they even have this ability? Moreover, the Fate Book used by Marquis Draka could not actually achieve the effect of perfectly concealing the Web of Fate, and its development would appear a bit rigid.
But Sid had deliberately chosen to ignore these doubts. After all, the relationship between the two families had always been bad, so using this incident as an excuse to test the other party's current strength was naturally a good choice.
Now that the test results are in and the sword is in hand, it’s time to find out the real murderer.
As for the ones with the most doubts at the moment, they are naturally the explorers from the Alfred family and the Olivendi family.
People from both sides immediately investigated it, and half a day later, the names of Atnoalfred and Anvis Olivendi and related information were placed on the desks of the two families.
'Anvis Olivendi, a fourth-level mid-level bloodline sorcerer and mystic scholar, is currently studying at the Royal Pamir Academy.'
'Due to my low strength, I did not personally explore the ruins this time, but instead arranged for a subordinate to go on my behalf.'
'This person has never appeared in the Olivendi family before. He is suspected to have been recruited from other channels. His true origin is unknown and he is suspected to be hiding his strength.'
"……"
'Etnoalfred, seventh-level peak Radiant Bird of Paradise bloodline sorcerer, transformation school mage, Lord of Dong'an Territory.'
'He once went to explore the ruins area, and was seriously injured by the aftermath of the explosion. After escaping with difficulty, he fell into a deep sleep and later died from the super-level magic [Earth Fire Burning the City] of Skarsa.'
"But according to my secret informant's report, the crystal ball representing Etno's life has not been broken!"
After listening to the report from her subordinates, Talina suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
As far as she could judge, there seemed to be something wrong on both sides.
Without mentioning how Avis's "subordinate" was recruited, it was obvious that Etno had been blown to pieces by super-level magic in the prophecy, but his life crystal ball was still intact.
There is only one possibility, that the other person is not dead yet, but has used some secret techniques to maintain the effect and overwrite his fate, hoping to get away with it.
The question is, if there is nothing to hide, why would he do such a thing?
Both sides seem to have suspicious points, but generally speaking, the suspicious points on Etno are much greater than those on Anvis's "subordinate".
After determining the main target, the two families immediately arranged for envoys to go to the Alfred family and the Olivendi family.
However, the difference is that the "envoys" who went to the Alfred family were all at the ninth level. At this time , after more than a month of classes, Avis, who was involved in the incident, asked for leave from the academy and returned to Yuelin Castle after a long absence.
Having discovered the enemy's plot behind the scenes, he also paid close attention to the subsequent development of the incident.
In order not to alert the enemy in advance, he pretended to be completely unaware of the inside story and carefully repeated to Duke Carrot everything that he had "watched from afar" after his clone was hypnotized.
After learning about the appearance of the Sword of the Chosen King, the Duke also attached great importance to this matter.
When the Duke heard that Skarsa of the Enoch family killed Asira of the Aslade family in order to silence him and took away the Sword of the King, he was even more surprised and suspicious.
"The birth rate of high-level professionals is too low. The four major families usually won't kill each other's offspring. Otherwise, if they attack each other at will, it will only lead to a vicious cycle.
Moreover, considering the other party's situation at the time, this move is completely meaningless. Not only will it not prevent the news from leaking, but it will directly attract the attention of the Aslade family. There is probably some kind of problem here."
This was the Duke's original words at the time. The Duke also called Avis's clone to ask a few questions. But during this process, the Duke did not find any signs of hypnosis on the clone.
Avis was not overly surprised by this. After all, he was the one who dared to plot against the four major families. If he didn't even have this ability, he would have been caught and crushed to death long ago.
And now, when Enoch and the Aslaide family sent out 'envoys', the opportunity that Anvis had been waiting for finally arrived.
Because of the dark professional who wanted to hypnotize him but ended up planting seeds in him, he already knew the next move in the other party's plan.
Although in the fate modified by the opponent, Atnoalfred died under the super-level magic.
But in fact, his real situation now is that he was caught by the enemy in a coma and locked in a secret room that can block magic including prophecy magic, and is undergoing brainwashing and training day and night.
Currently, after multiple tests, Atno's spirit has been initially transformed and is sufficient for the next task.
And now, the other party will hand the real [Sword of the Chosen King] to Atno Alfred, and then let him return to the family with the sword and put the blame on the Alfred family.
No matter how it is explained, the real [Sword of the Chosen King] was taken back by the Alfred family, and one person from the other two families died and one was injured. The injured person even took away a fake sword and killed the dead person in the time-traveling scene.
Once this happens, no matter how the Alfred family explains it, it will probably be hard to believe.
But now, after knowing all this in advance, Avis planned to take action in advance and cut off the sword.
