Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2132 Suspects increase and confirmation traces
Xia Duo had seen a gem of wisdom several times smaller than the one that Esther took out in the hands of Orepus of the Silver Leaf Family before. of.

In the end, Orepus decided on the gem of wisdom without anything, and Xia Duo naturally gave it to him in order to unite his allies, but he has kept it in his heart since then.

It wasn't until some time ago that some of them appeared from the projection plane, that his long-cherished desire was fulfilled.

Even without the inheritance ceremony, the gem of wisdom has a certain inheritance effect. This kind of gem is usually used by the big family of the elves to maintain the inheritance and ensure that there are spellcasters born in the past.

Today, when the inheritance ceremony has almost been lost, the importance of wisdom gems is absolutely no less than any kind of war weapon.

After receiving the gem of wisdom handed over by Esther, Xia Duo finally realized the strength, or wealth, of Katemir.

In fact, these two descriptions often exist at the same time.

How to use the Wisdom Gem Xia Duo does not need Esther to teach, he has mastered many methods, of course he will only use one now, and this is also his chance to show his abilities to the elves, so that the other party will recognize his investigation !
Seeing the scene at the time of the incident with his own eyes, Xia Duo was even more sure of his speculation just now—there were traitors among the entourage of the Sith Prince or within Katemir who were providing information to the assassin!

At that time, the assassin obviously handed out the sword with a very confident gesture, retracted it at the touch of a finger, and then wiped his own neck before the others could react.

Even if a normal assassin doesn't use all his strength and doesn't make up the knife, he must at least determine the life and death of the target!
This is one of the most important factors related to the success or failure of the assassination!

There is no one who would wipe his neck immediately after stabbing a sword, unless the purpose of killing was not at the beginning, but just to anger Ketmir, but if the prince survives, even if the two countries turn against each other, there is a high probability that there will be no war.

There were too many doubts, Xia Duo didn't indulge himself to think about it wantonly, he was worried that he would be led to the investigation direction deliberately led by the assassin, maybe the assassin just had a grudge against the Prince of Sith!

He still needs to look at other information, but generally speaking, he already has someone to suspect.

……

"Master Esther, I need to know all the information about Prince Sith's visit to Calimshan, including the purpose of the trip, who arranged it, the process of connecting with Calimshan, and even the investigation results of the entourage."

Regarding Prince Sith's visit to Calimshan, Xia Duo specifically asked Talaf, but the other party didn't know that Prince Sith was coming, and it was Maired Pasha's arrangement to be the receptionist.

As for Grand Consul Fahd, Xia Duo hardly had much communication with him, and he didn't think about asking at the time. After reading the information given by the elves, he still wanted to ask Jibril. Yes, at least it can be mutually confirmed.

Esther did not refuse Xia Duo's request, after all, he had promised not to keep information related to the prince's assassination.

"Prince Sith's visit to Calimshan this time is in the name of the crowned king, in order to resolve the border conflict between the two countries. All the itinerary except for the prince's entourage is only available from Calimshan, and even passes through Meridpa. Xia's territory is also due to the other party's kind invitation, as for the investigation results of the prince's entourage, there is no suspicion of betrayal so far."

Esther said these words very calmly, but she was blaming Calinshan's side, especially Mered Pasha, almost pointing at the other party's nose and saying that the other party was behind the scenes.

Xia Duo could understand the other party's mood, but the investigation should not be carried on with emotion, so he continued to ask: "Are you sure that every member of Prince Sith's entourage has passed the investigation from the time of departure to the present?"

"Lord Xia Duo, what do you mean?!"

Esther immediately raised his eyebrows, "Would it be possible that the people of Ketmir will murder their own prince? Besides, they are all followers of the Sith prince. What good is murdering their master?"

"Then let me change the question. How is Prince Sith's reputation in Katemir? Are there any enemies?"

"Lord Xia Duo, please pay attention to the direction of your investigation! You should focus on the incident itself instead of suspecting the prince!"

Esther's reaction was inexplicably big, but Xia Duo asked a very common question. Generally, vicious incidents cannot escape elements such as hatred and jealousy. Shouldn't it be right to ask the prince if he has any enemies?
Or, in Esther's heart, she actually hoped that the prince was killed by the Calishans?

After thinking about it, Xia Duo decided to put aside the elves' issues for a while, and go to see the investigation process and results of Calinshan's side first.

Originally, in this kind of situation where no scene was involved and only humans were present, it stands to reason that Esther did not need to follow, just like when Xia Duo was in the elf camp just now, Jibril who accompanied him stayed outside.

But Esther followed Xia Duo into the Calimshan camp on the south side of the square, which planted a seed of doubt in Xia Duo's heart.

If there is a problem with Esther, will the special envoy of Irati who sent him also have a problem, or will the death of Prince Sith be planned by Katemir?
This is very different from Xia Duo's previous suspicion.

……

Inside the Calimshan Camp.

Introduced by Jibril, a general of Calinshan received Xia Duo and his party. When he heard that Xia Duo wanted to obtain the investigation report on the Sith Prince's assassination, the general asked his subordinates without further ado. The scholar handed over the materials he had already prepared to Xia Duo, and at the same time mentioned——

"Scholar Bolin is one of the scholars who participated in the investigation before. Lord Xia Duo only read the report, so it is inevitable that there are some unclear points. If you have any questions, you can ask him at any time."

"Well, thanks to General Hashem, and Bolin Scholar!"

Afterwards, Xia Duo opened the investigation report made of a thick stack of elven paper in his hand, and he saw that the Calinthian scholar had the same suspicion of the assassin's abnormal behavior as he did on the first page, and then suspected that it was inside Katemir. .

But this is just a suspicion, without any actual evidence, and Talib, the second son of Maired Pasha's heir, assassinated the Prince of Sith in public.

Although some people suspect that Talib has long been replaced by a real assassin, there is also no actual evidence to prove it. What the people saw was only - Talib followed his father to meet the Prince of Sith, and then assassinated the prince nearby!
As the report deepened step by step, Xia Duo's brows gradually frowned. There were indeed many suspicions in the report that pointed to something other than the Maired family, but the suspicion of the Maired family itself was also difficult to clear up.

First of all, why did Maired Pasha insist on inviting an enemy prince who had nothing to do with him, even if it was a visiting enemy prince, shouldn't it be avoided at this time?
According to Mered Pasha's explanation in the investigation report, he received an order from Sil Pasha the day before the arrival of the Prince of Sith, but it was Tali who had assassinated the Prince of Sith and then committed suicide. cloth.

As for Sil Pasha's explanation of this matter, it is obvious that even if there is an order, it is impossible to admit it under such circumstances!
Xia Duo searched through the report but could not find Sil Pasha's statement on this matter, let alone an explanation.

Only Fahd, acting as Grand Vizier, requested to find out the real culprit as soon as possible on behalf of Sir Pasha, and to give Katemir an acceptable explanation.

It seems that Karinshan is also suspected!
"Ugh--"
