The Fool of the Gods

The ring did not respond, but that did not mean that the other party could not hear it.

When Cheng Shi knew that the means of resurrection of the Screaming Earl was still in this trial, he already had a complete plan in his mind, but this was not the place to start the plan, so he chuckled, strode out of the court, and returned to the trial.

When he appeared in the Rossner Imperial Court again, his teammates had already left.

Only large pieces of bloody meat, piles of charred remains peeled off from bones, and countless messy footprints were left at the scene.

Cheng Shi squatted down and observed for a moment with interest, and recognized that they were footprints of three different people. It seemed that these teammates who wanted him dead had been to the scene, but he didn't know whether they were concerned about him or were confirming whether he was dead.

Of course, there was another possibility, that is, he wanted to know where he had been!

Cheng Shi was not sure whether the scene of him killing the ram's horn was seen by anyone other than the chameleon. If so, he guessed that the person might be Da Yi who had left the team.

He had thought of this a long time ago, so he left a vague sentence when he left, hoping that it would become a hook to catch the big fish of [War] in the future.

He was playing the mysterious game with the other party. As for whether it was a void search, it would depend on the other party's reaction when they met again later.

But before that, Cheng Shi was probably no longer in a hurry to find his teammates. He had more important things to do at the moment, such as... dealing with the remnant soul pretending to be dead on the ring.

...

On the other side.

Four figures appeared again on the outermost high wall of the Imperial Court. Three of them looked back at the Rossna Imperial Court with complicated expressions, and then jumped down from the high wall with an old man and returned to the Rossna Recruitment Square.

These four people were Dayi and Du Yao.

After they confirmed that it was the hunter who died in the hunt and the prey who won, the three of them left with different expressions.

It was not because they were afraid, but because time waits for no one.

They couldn't find Cheng Shi, and they couldn't wait for a "teammate" who had a rift in their hearts, so they left the imperial court and followed the guidance of old Galen to find the eldest prince who was expelled from the palace.

At present, only this eldest prince would know the whereabouts of the dagger.

In Galen's narration, everyone learned that the reason why the eldest prince was expelled from the palace was because he was the only challenger in the entire Rossna royal family!

He advocated recruiting soldiers and fighting the whole country to expel all the destroyers in the country.

The conscription square in front of the imperial court was built under the supervision of the eldest prince.

But the smart old emperor had long seen the end of the empire and knew that the Rossna royal family had long been in decline, so he did not agree with his son's advice, and turned around to expel this warlike son from the palace, sacrificing the royal heirs in exchange for a time window for himself and many ministers and nobles to escape.

After listening to the whole story, the three players agreed that the old emperor was indeed smart.

As for whether the eldest prince is stupid or not...it's hard to say, because it depends on whose perspective you look at it from.

However, the players don't care about these things. They are not the saviors that Cheng Shi said. They come here only for the [Gift of Wounds] that assassin players dream of.

Logically speaking, it should be a very simple thing to find the prince of a country in the capital of a country, but the bad thing is that the guards who know the whereabouts of the prince all ran away with their emperor, and the blizzard destroyed the city. There were almost no people on the road, and the wind and snow covered all traces, which greatly increased the difficulty of finding people.

But fortunately, the players are all smart people. Through the profile of the eldest prince described by the historian, they quickly determined several places where the eldest prince might go, so the three of them searched again in the wind and snow.

Dayi was still the first to take the lead. He controlled the direction of the entire team with a gallon.

Du Yao and Jiang Chi followed behind, one on the left and one on the right, keeping watch on all sides. This time, they were not only on guard against the chameleon, but also against a fortune-teller named Cheng Shi...

Who knows if this hard persimmon will come to bite their teeth again after knocking out the hunter's teeth?

Just as the three of them were walking on the roof, Jiang Chi suddenly approached Du Yao and asked with a frown:

"Are you familiar with this fortune-teller?"

Du Yao blinked: "How do you mean familiar? Do you count if you have slept with him?"

"???"

Jiang Chi was startled, staggered and almost fell off the roof. He never expected that a casual question would lead to such a shocking news.

He looked at Du Yao in disbelief with shock on his face, but when he realized that the other party was Du Yao, it seemed reasonable.

But Jiang ChiStill being led astray, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "Have you slept with him...?"

Duyao suddenly raised his lips: "No, I'm asking you, right?"

"???"

Is there anyone who asks questions like this?

Jiang Chi's mouth twitched slightly, and his face darkened. He saw that the other party was trying to change the subject, but he quickly brought the subject back.

"We are familiar with each other after cooperating."

Poison replied straightforwardly: "Oh, then we are not familiar with each other."

"......" Jiang Chi's face became darker, "If you are not familiar with each other, why did you leave a message for him in the snow? I saw you use the blood of a ram to draw a guide for him. Poison, I am your partner. Even if he is, you don't have to lie to me, right?"

Poison blinked again and said:

"I didn't lie to you. I am not familiar with him.

We have never cooperated. He tricked me into a roundabout way in the only trial we encountered. I tried my best but I just relied on his thigh to pass it by luck.

Also, you are wrong. I just felt a little happy...sympathetic when I saw Mr. Jiao died, so I dipped a little blood and wrote two words to casually pay tribute to this believer of my Lord."

Hearing this, Jiang Chi sneered : "You really left a letter for him!"

"?" Du Yao's pupils shrank, and his face darkened, "You cheated me?"

"Heh," Jiang Chi shook his head and said seriously, "I just want to remind you that you can't win against Dayi without my help. Don't think that the weaver will help you. In his eyes, you are also one of the accomplices who put him in danger.

Even if Dayi played a more hateful role in this incident, don't forget that he is very familiar with the weaver. At least before they broke up, the weaver stood with him."

Du Yao's eyes turned, and his face was stunned: "You mean, they slept together?"

"?"

This was obviously a joke, but Jiang Chi couldn't laugh at all, because he knew that Du Yao's jokes meant that the other party was already on guard against him.

"Ms. Poison, stop changing the subject. We need to face up to our relationship, so... will our cooperation continue?"

After hearing this, Poison's face finally became serious. She sneered and asked coldly:

"Shouldn't I ask you this, Mr. Knight?

I was so intimate with the little priest that I almost wrote the words 'he is also my partner' on my forehead, but you still took the opportunity to pit him out of the team. So are you trying to help me or harm me?

I have always been curious about how you found Da Yi and what you talked about with him after the conflict at the beginning?

My partner, is he still my partner now?

You...didn't you reach a cooperation agreement with another assassin?"

...
