As long as she did not appear on the same occasion as Vicia, her expression, breathing, and even the rhythm of her heartbeat were the same as when she was calm and contemplative.

After Wen Lin left, the maids also began to pack up and prepare to return to the royal court. Women's gossip-loving nature made them talk about Wen Lin naturally.

"It's no wonder that even the dull and boring Namaner praised Miss Wen Lin, she is really a very cultivated lady,"

"Yeah, I think not only does the queen like her, but soon the gentlemen in the capital will start to pursue her,"

They were talking about Wen Lin thanking her after breakfast. Nobles usually don't thank the servants for the food they prepared.

Wen Lin's behavior was very approachable, she didn't seem to regard them as servants at all.

Although a little apprehensive, there is no doubt that everyone is very happy in their hearts.

Ampton Palace was not far from Port Royal, the scenery outside the car window gradually became wider, tall trees began to be replaced by low shrubs, and a wide river gradually appeared in Wen Lin's eyes.

The capital city of Brunz is connected to the Strait of Dover through the River Thame. An endless stream of cargo ships sails on the river. The river wind blows tall sails, and white birds pass by.

Humphreys was standing on the dock, behind him were three or two officials and two lines of guards, who were talking to the people on the dock.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Hanvers noticed Wen Lin's arrival.

He walked over quickly, and the gentleman waited in front of the car, looking very enthusiastic to say hello,

Wen Lin also responded enthusiastically. She jumped out of the carriage holding a long knife and asked straight to the point,

"Mr. Humphreys, can you tell me what I need to do now?"

With a friendly smile, Humphreys handed the sheepskin book in the servant's hand to Wen Lin,

"Excuse my presumptuous interruption, I want to ask for some clues about the assassination,"

"Assassination?" Wen Lin showed just the right amount of surprise, "Mr. Humphreys, you know that I have only been in the capital for a short time, and I don't know much about everything here."

Although it has been more than half a year since she came to Europa, Wen Lin spent nearly two-thirds of the time at sea, and most of her knowledge of the country of Golan was based on the information provided by others.

Hearing Wen Lin say this, the officials behind Humphreys unabashedly showed a look of contempt.

I don't know what Lord Humphries thinks, why he chooses to let a woman dictate.

Simply humiliating to them.

The officials other than Hanvers were indignant. They squinted at Wen Lin, suddenly their bodies stiffened and their eyes widened.

They saw the long knife in Wen Lin's hand, and the intuitive impression this knife left on everyone was tyrannical force.

Wen Lin originally intended to be low-key, but it has been proved by practice that the appearance of a long stick wrapped in linen is equally eye-catching.

But soon, the officials reacted and found out the reason for continuing to despise Wen Lin. Being able to win in the arena does not mean that a woman has a smart brain.

As they watched, Wen Lin calmly opened the sheepskin book and slowly flipped through the pages. After a preliminary understanding of the situation, Wen Lin asked with interest,

"Everyone, what is your opinion?"

She is slender and straight, and when she speaks, she is gentle and polite. With such a Wen Lin, it is easy for people to ignore the knife in her hand.

Perhaps being appeased by Wen Lin's attitude, the dissatisfied officials calmed down a bit, snorted, and began to talk about their thoughts.

"The inspection route is open to the public, and any catholic in the Golan may be an assassin."

"It's too risky if I say you shouldn't walk through the crowd,"

...

Some unhelpful guesses and complaints, the smile on Hanvers' face faded, interrupting them in time,

"The Queen's wishes are like this, and it is difficult for us to change. The important thing is how to find out those who are wicked,"

Looking back at Wen Lin, Humphreys asked,

"Your Excellency Wen Lin, what are your thoughts?"

When dealing with Wen Lin, Hanvers always maintained a gentleman's demeanor, with a very gentle tone and attitude, without any uncomfortable pressure.

Shaking her head regretfully, Wen Lin smiled and suggested, "No clue, but maybe we can go and see the wreckage of the salvaged ship,"

According to the records in the book, Humphs and the others have carefully traced all the details that may have been manipulated, but found nothing.

The only thing that is certain is that this is a meticulous plan, and it is closely related to some nobles or wealthy businessmen.

After all, the person who can take out two ships as a tool for assassination cannot be a civilian who has no savings.

Wen Lin lowered her eyes, recalling the scene of that night carefully.

In a port with mixed forces, the two nearest ships exploded at the same time when the Queen boarded the ship. It exploded and set off several other merchant ships carrying barrels of wine.

burst. Exploding, screaming, falling into the water, wailing...

The firelight licked the wreckage of the ships until they sank slowly in the water.

The wreck of the ship, Hanvers had already gone to see it himself, no matter how it looked, it was two ordinary cargo ships, he asked a little unwillingly,

"Did you see anything unusual that night?

situations, such as pirate ships that shouldn’t be in port,”

Strictly speaking, only her Liberty was there that night, Wen Lin shook her head amusingly,

"You know, pirates never do business at a loss. They sneak into Port Royal and make such a big noise. It's not the style of pirates. I'm sure there were no other pirate ships except the Liberty that night."

Port Royal is different from other coastal ports. It is just outside the city of Brenz and is heavily guarded. Once exposed, it will be a life-threatening matter. No pirate is willing to ask for trouble.

"Then let's go to the nearby shipyard first, where the wreckage of the ship is temporarily stored," Humphus nodded and smiled bitterly.
