Carilliana responded half aggrieved, angry, and half puzzled: "What does this have to do with me? Ivanovsky, didn't you control all the personnel in charge of intelligence under Uncle Witte? Why did he wake up and after breakfast, he named to see Viscount Fedorov?"
Viscount Fedorov, the elder brother of Bolshak, apparently heard about Peter.
"I have verified that there is no intelligence that could make Count Witte decide to meet Viscount Fedorov, nor is there any intelligence officer who has been abnormal and has secretly come to see Count Witte. Carolina, did the servants and attendants you choose leak their mouths?" Ivanovsky denied the accusations against him, suspecting that something was wrong on Karelina's side.
Carlyna shook her head resolutely: "No, their parents and relatives are under my control, and without my permission, they will not disclose anything from the outside world to Uncle Werther, just talk about the manor style, snow disaster situation, etc., and they have fully fulfilled my request, except for the intelligence personnel, no matter which knight wants to see Uncle Witt, they will block it on the pretext that Uncle Wert is uncomfortable and needs to rest, and they will help pass on messages, letters, etc."
Suddenly encountering this unexpected change, Kalylena and Ivanovsky, who were of equal status, subconsciously blamed each other and shirked responsibility.
After a few minutes of silence, Ivanovsky held the gold-rimmed glasses: "It may be that Count Witt suddenly had a new idea. In short, things are getting a little troublesome, in order to eliminate hidden dangers and prevent the Count from suddenly leaving the inheritance to Peter, we need to ......" He clenched his right hand tightly and made a gesture of pinching his neck.
"Are you crazy? This is the Withered Castle! There are several big knights here, and more than twenty knights are guarding! Do you want to be discovered by them and sent to the church at the stake?!" Kalylena's beautiful eyes widened and she looked at Ivanovsky in disbelief, as if she were looking at a complete maniac. Her tone was very fierce and full of astonishment.
In the entire Ural State, nobles like Viscount Fedorov, who were directly under the Count of Vette, would take turns guarding the Witten Castle with their knights. This is the knight's obligation to the lord, and during non-war periods, there must be two months of obligation to serve the lord for two months a year, and it is also an opportunity for them to connect with the lord and interact with other nobles.
Ivanovsky seemed to feel that his clothes were a little tight and pulled at his neckline, and said coldly: "Didn't we originally plan to kill Peter? It's just that I was worried about being discovered before, so I wanted to be more hidden. But what about the reality? The effect of covert actions was not good, but Peter noticed it and went to the church to report it, which almost ruined the matter. Since things have reached this point, it is better to use the empire's usual style, which is the simplest and most effective!"
"As for the great knights, knights, and castle priests on the lower floors, you don't have to worry, isn't there Mr. Matvey, a mid-level magician, and that?"
Carolina's violent reaction suddenly subsided, as if it had never been there. She sighed and said with a little worry: "Since you have decided, just do as you say, but I always feel a little weird, the change is too sudden, too strange."
"Don't worry, Carolina, in addition to the attendants and servants controlled by you, this floor is an old man who is 'aging' and dying. Although he used to be a heavenly knight, he was now disorganized, mentally weak, and incapable, as long as we didn't make a big fuss, he couldn't detect it at all. When we got rid of those loyal servants before, didn't he find out?"
Ivanovsky touched his mouth, and the anger and trouble he had previously caused by being caught off guard were swept away, and he became calm again, "And Peter must think that there are so many knights and great knights guarding here, it is an absolutely safe environment, and it is much less difficult for us to kill him."
Cariliana's expression changed a few times, and she said calmly: "After killing him, I will destroy the body immediately, and then let Miaka and Nyak transform into the appearance of him and his butler and follow the caravan away, and then disappear halfway. Ivanovsky, the men you send to assassinate Peter must be strong enough, not careless, don't make a big joke like Miaka, and in the end you will have to spend ten times the energy to deal with the follow-up trouble."
After the Winter Bear incident, poor Miaka was ridiculed in the gang.
Before Ivanovsky answered, Kareliana added: "Although Peter tried his best to hide his strength in terms of pace and movement, making it difficult to detect his knight level, when I danced with him, judging from his heartbeat, blood flow, skin feel, etc., he was just an ordinary official knight, good at agility and speed. This is consistent with the condition he displayed when he defeated Miaka with his sword. What needs to worry about is the two long swords on his body, they should both be magic long swords, and one of them may even be mid-level."
She analyzed this aspect of things clearly and had a keen sense, unlike an ordinary aristocrat who was keen on hunting.
"Judging from Miaka's description, level 3 and level 4 are possible, but how can an ordinary official knight compete with a great knight or a mid-level magician even if he holds a mid-level magic longsword? By the way, he also has a level 4 or 5 magic item that can activate the anti-death barrier, and has a very strong defense ability against instant death and cursed magic, so he is assassinated by the great knight, and the middle-level magician is responsible for covering up the movement to prevent the great knights below from discovering."
After saying that, Ivanovsky said absurdly and jealously: "What adventures did Peter have in the north? Why does a knight who has just been promoted have such an expensive magic longsword and magic items? He is simply richer than me! But after tonight, they will be mine."
Carilena's mood fully recovered, and she smiled charmingly: "The magic item belongs to me."
In their opinion, if an ordinary official knight like Peter has an adventure, he can get two magic long swords and a level four or five divine magic item is the limit, and at most there is a magic armor - he is likely to sell the bits and pieces of magic items, materials, etc. obtained from the adventure, so as to raise enough money to buy this set of equipment suitable for himself.
After the discussion, Ivanovsky ordered Matvi, who was standing quietly next to him: "Mr. Matvi, please wait to cover up the movement and prevent Peter from escaping with a teleportation magic item."
Privately, he was very polite to Matvi's tone, as this was a three-ring magician who was skilled in curses and change, and was able to take out even other professions of level 5 when caught off guard, including magicians and bishops.
Matvi nodded grimly: "It's a pity that he has a magic item that triggers the anti-death barrier, otherwise if I kill him with a curse, he will be completely motionless, just like that one......"
Ivanovsky smiled and said, "Mr. Matvey, I believe in your abilities. By the way, when you do these things, don't stay too far from me and continue to protect me, otherwise some people may have bad thoughts."
No matter how much he acts, his own safety comes first, but when Ivanovsky said this, he was very relaxed - although some people in his words may be insinuating to Kariliana, they didn't seem to care much about her in their attitude.
"No problem." Matvi gave a short answer. Carilliana has always maintained a charming and sexy smile, unaffected at all.
After explaining the matter to Matvi, Ivanovsky clapped his palms gently: "Mr. Petnov, the subsequent assassination will be left to you."
In the dark shadows in the corner, a dull voice came: "Yes, Mr. Ivanovsky."
Carriliana squinted her eyes and tried her best to look at the corner, but there was nothing but darkness and shadow, and then she asked with her red lips half-open: "Darkness, or shadow bloodline?"
"Darkness, level three." Ivanovsky spits out two words without giving too much explanation.
Carolina's mature and charming smile froze slightly, because this is a top-notch bloodline comparable to the sun, the shield of truth, the sword of truth, the silver moon, the vampire, the devouring monster, the behemoth of destruction, the time dragon, the devil's duke, the demon king, etc.
The strength of this bloodline can only be seen from the defensive aspect, such as being immune to supernatural effects related to the mind, spirit, and physical state after darkening, immune to magic and magic that are lower than one's own level, immune to most necromancers, change magic, and immune to acids, explosions, ice, and most physical attacks.
When the night got darker, Matvi suddenly disappeared, and Ivanovsky sighed softly: "May God bless you, Father."
Carriena also drew a strange cross on her chest, short up and down, left and right: "God the Father is above."
…………
In the guest room of Kuteng Castle.
Leo was a little restless and restless: "Sir, Count Witte's sudden invitation is likely to have ruined Ivanovsky's plans, and with his character, he will probably use simple and rude means. After leaving the castle tomorrow, you must be careful."
He had been Ivanovsky's assistant for nearly ten years and was considered a person who knew his character better, but he judged that Ivanovsky's actions should have been after the two of them left the castle, after all, this was the castle of Count Witt, the Heavenly Knight, and there were many great knights and knight guards who were loyal to him.
"Leo, I know, thank you for the reminder. You go and rest first." Lucian smiled and ordered Leo.
It wasn't until Leo went to sleep in the next room that Lucian calmed down his smile, his eyes became deep, and he had a bit of a dangerous premonition - he accidentally broke a teacup just now!
This is a hint from the main star of destiny, an ability from astrological magic! And it seems that no one intentionally interferes!
"Is there an enemy that cannot be resisted? Or some weird magic? Will they choose to take the risk tonight?" Lucian did not use astrology for fear of alarming the knights in the castle, but examined his psychological blind spots and soon had many ideas.
"No matter what, continue to be vigilant tonight." It's a decision that doesn't require much thought, simple yet effective.
…………
The night was dark, but the darkness in Lucian's room seemed to wriggle as if it were alive.
