When the three assassins really confessed because they were locked up in the small dark room, not to mention the torturers, even Lucis couldn't believe it when he heard the result.

At the beginning, the three assassins who were locked in different small dark rooms could still keep calm, and there was only a little panting in the quiet room, but from the second day on, the jailer in charge of guarding them could hear something fromThere was an abnormal noise coming from the small black room. The assassins had tried their best to spit out the cloth in their mouths. They made various noises in the dark, swearing and trying to attract people from outside to come in and see them.Just open the door and have a word or two with them.

But the jailers have been obeying the order, not having any communication with them, not even making any sound when changing guards, everything is quiet, as if there is no one outside the door.

By the third day, the spirits of these assassins were already a little off. They changed from cursing to begging. They didn't even need outsiders to interrogate them again, and they told everything they knew, including but not limited to thisThe content of the assassination.

The jailer guarding the door discovered this situation, and immediately called for the clerk of the cell to record everything they yelled for almost two hours.

In the end, not only did they figure out who organized the assassination, but they even heard the origins of these assassins, all their members, and where they were stationed. Afterwards, even the assassins had nothing to do with this incident.He poured out all the bad things he had done in the past like peas.

It was not that easy at first, every assassin’s small black room was recorded by someone, but they said inside for a while and found that no one responded, they would start hysterical and stop pouring out clues, so a jailer had an idea, and through the doorAsked: "What else do you know, we are listening."

It was just such a sentence, which seemed to comfort the assassins in the small black room, and began to pour beans out again. Later, they answered whatever the jailer asked. The effect was so good that people wondered if they were being fed.A magic potion that answers all questions.

Moreover, the confessions of the three assassins corresponded one by one, even the details could be matched, which showed that they were not lying.

When the final statement was sent to Lucis, he was silent.

"Is this interrogation method really that powerful? Can anyone confess to him?"

He didn't know whether he was asking Ella these questions, or just talking about his disbelief.

"Of course it doesn't work for everyone, at least for those who have been specially trained and have strong willpower, the effect will be greatly reduced. Even if you really drive them crazy, you may not be able to ask anything, but for those who have not been trainedFor someone who trains, it's too exciting."

However, there is no research in this area yet, and it is naturally impossible for someone to specifically conduct willpower training in this area.

"So, what is the result of the investigation, and which country did people plan this incident?"

Speaking of this, Lucis became serious, because things were far more complicated than they thought.

After this group of assassins were captured, even though the captured people did not speak, they found out their origins based on the appearance of these people—they were members of a bandit group that only appeared in recent years and roamed around Sathia.

And after the assassins confessed, they admitted that the members of this bandit group had indeed been, or are now forming up soldiers, because they pretended to be bandits and moved around in Sathya after receiving orders from above.of.

However, the army in this era is not much different from bandits in essence. They often pretend to be robbers and rob civilians. In addition to stealing their property and food, they will also capture and sell civilians. Many people become slaves because of this., Even Sathya's army is the same, but the royal family and the northern and southern armies only do this to the outside world, and never touch their own territory, but some private soldiers of the nobles have a lot of meat and vegetables.

So it is a soldier and a robber, which is exactly what Lucis guessed, so it is not surprising.

But unlike what Lucis expected, they were soldiers from a country around Sathia. The members of this group of bandits were actually soldiers from the Mio continent, a coastal country on the side of the Mio continent.

Their task is to loot, create chaos, and destroy the security environment in Sathia. It is best to make the country completely chaotic, so that they have a chance to tear off a piece of the cake in Sathia.Into his own plate.

It is not surprising that it will be coveted. As the country of gold, Sathya is the richest country in the entire African continent. The gold produced here is more than that of other countries combined, and it is so powerful. AllAll countries are looking forward to its decline, so as to get enough benefits from here.

And think about it, the Miou continent on the other side of the sea seems to be very far away from them, but the sea voyage is only a month's work, how different is this from them and other countries separated by a desert?If you really want to fight, you can still fight.

And the country Lucis mentioned by the assassin is no stranger. The most powerful country along the coast of the Mio continent - Gebitran, has always liked to rob the king's merchant ships in the name of pirates at sea, and would harass Sathya from time to time.The coastline of China is the main defense object of the northern army, and the relationship between the two countries can be said to be not very good.

It's just that didn't expect them to be so greedy. It was not enough to fight against them at sea, and now they started to covet the land of Sathya.

From the assassin's confession, they finally knew that Gebitran's purpose was to make Sathya fall into chaos and take the opportunity to attack and seize their coastal defenses, and use this as a starting point to slowly devour Sathya, the golden country.

With the current situation that King Sathya has no heirs and other members of the royal family are useless, as long as King Sathya is alive or dead, they will naturally become chaotic.

"The king of Gebitran is too ambitious." Hearing this, Ella frowned. She pretended to be a pirate to attack the coastal generation, and invaded other countries across the sea. This kind of operation reminded her of a very unpleasant period.His historical memory, and his impression of this country of Gebitran is also at the bottom.

"That's not all," Lucis continued.

In the confessions given by the assassins when they were tortured before, they did not lie, that is, they were indeed hired to assassinate Lucis, but the people who hired them did not know their true identities, and did not likeThey revealed that the target they were going to assassinate was the real identity of Lucis, but because the bandit group was going to attack Lucis, and the other party offered him a lot of rewards, they accepted the employment smoothly.

In order to make the water even more muddy, after the first employer who contacted them appeared, the bandit group simply took the initiative and contacted several employers who wanted the death of King Sathya, and charged more money, and thenWith the help of the Sathya, he successfully avoided the eyes of the Sathyas and successfully created this assassination incident.

The bandit group also thought of the possibility of being arrested after the incident is revealed, so these employers are also one of their means of deception. At that time, the arrested people only need to stop the punishment for a period of time, and then tell the news about these employers, then ShadiYa here will naturally believe that the clues they got are true, and then follow along to investigate, and they will naturally find out about those employers, ensuring that no one will find out about Gebitland, so that their country can learn from this matter.Perfect pick out.

These assassins were already ready to die. If it wasn't for Ayla's sudden confinement trick, they would have succeeded.

As for why the well-prepared assassination ended with such a little noise, it's a bit dramatic.

In fact, their plan was more careful than what we have experienced, but I don’t know why some people suddenly gave up their employment on the way of the original plan, and some people hoped that they could delay the assassination time. Although the bandits don’t know why these peopleThey suddenly changed their minds, but they were worried that someone would reveal the news, which would cause King Sathya to stop leaving the palace and make them miss this opportunity, so they gritted their teeth and carried out the assassination in advance.

And the reason is actually easy to guess.

Lu Xisi's face was a bit complicated, even ironic: "The employers they contacted are basically members of missions sent by various countries."

And now these missions are still negotiating malaria prescriptions with Sathya. Before the negotiation is settled, they certainly don’t want King Sathya to have an accident-although an accident is a good thing, but it is for the country behind them.As for the members of the mission, it is better for them to get a prescription to be rewarded after returning home. Of course, they cherish their own interests more than the interests of the country.

So Ella's previous arrangement gave these people the opportunity to assassinate them, but it was she who made the missions delay or even give up their plan to assassinate Lucis.

"Then what are we going to do now? Arrest those missionaries?"

Lucis shook his head: "The possibility of arresting them all is very small. Although these Gebitran people have said so much, they can't actually produce much evidence to prove that the missions instructed them. They just wanted toUse your own life to make the relationship between Sathya and other countries into chaos."

Since it is what the enemy wants to obtain, of course he can't follow the other party's wishes, and those missionaries are not vegetarians. The people they send to communicate with the bandits are slaves or servants with very low status in the mission.Even if there was only one or two communications, even if they were caught, as long as they evaded and said they didn't know, for the sake of good relations between the two countries, it was impossible for Lucis to do anything to them.

Of course, he wouldn't just let them go that easily. He had already sent someone to take the assassin's confession—of course the confession that they were the behind-the-scenes messengers—to the heads of these missions.And ask them to be very angry, and ask them to give an explanation, otherwise they will all be detained and their king will give an explanation.

Then he secretly planned to let the nobles who were closer to those missions be lobbyists, so as to drive a wedge between them.

Since it is necessary to give an explanation, a servant is naturally not enough. In the end, these missions will naturally introduce a person with enough weight to resist all things, and in order not to be abandoned, the missions themselves will fight to the death.

Of course, this can only get rid of a few insignificant envoys, but the effect of killing chickens and monkeys will be there, and in order to calm Lucis' anger and prevent him from bringing people to their land, the kings of those countries have to give him an apologyApologies, it's impossible not to bleed a lot.

Even the price of the malaria prescription that is now being discussed can be mentioned again.

And in this way, for a long time, these countries will not dare to make trouble anymore, and Lucis can also spare his troops to deal with Gebitran.

Since Gebitran has been coveting them all this time, and is still making so many little tricks in private, he might as well tear up the skin on the surface, and fight openly.

Gebitran: If I can win, what tricks and tricks will I use!

But before fighting, they must first capture all the members of the bandit group and let these rats get out of Sathya.

One of the three assassins who was captured alive was the leader who carried out this plan, and he was also the second in command in the bandit group. If the plan hadn't been implemented too hastily, he could have escaped, so this man is very sympathetic to the bandits.They are familiar with all the strongholds of the regiment, following the clues he gave, and after the accident, Lucis blocked the capital, unless they have left Sathya before that, otherwise they will be arrested sooner or later if they are fully wanted.to them.

Ella is more curious: "Who are the missions involved in this time?"

Lucis told all the participating missions, and to Ella's surprise, there was no country of Qatar among them.

"I thought the Congress of Katha wanted you to have an accident."

"Of course their king would, but the ambassador who came this time would not."

The Ambassador of Kata has recently been suspicious of the king in the country of Kata. He came to Sathya again in just three or four months, hoping to get enough benefits here to bring back Kata and let himThe lord of the country is happy, and it is more important to trust him again. If something happens to King Sathya at this time, it will be a question whether he can go back safely. Of course, they will not take the risk of doing such a thing.

Now it seems that this is a smart choice, especially after several missions have suffered one after another.

Fortunately, the missions that participated this time did not include those countries that had just married their noble daughters to the nobles of Sathya, otherwise the lives of these noble ladies would be difficult in the future.

But I can understand it when I think about it. The country where the noble daughters who want to stay in Sathya will naturally have a good relationship with Sathya. If the relationship is not good, they are unlikely to stay.It is also not easy to stay.

After figuring out these things, Lucis started his busy work, and there was another episode in it.

When arresting everyone who was present at the time of the assassination, Lucis also asked people to bring back all the arrows smeared with venom, and asked the most trusted doctor to check what kind of venom was on them, and the doctor experimented with mice, the venom on the arrow is not the venom of the cobra, but the venom of the black mamba.

This is the venom of a poisonous snake that is more poisonous than ordinary cobras. A bite from a cobra may last for more than ten hours, but a bite from a black mamba can't survive an hour. This is a kind of poison that even in modern timesThe death rate after being bitten is also close to 100% for venomous snakes.

According to the amount of venom on the arrows detected by the doctor, based on the conditions of those people being injured by the arrows at that time, they would die within an hour, and it was impossible to be rescued.

Whether the doctor's result was correct or not, he also got confirmation from the assassin.

But such a severe poison was cured by Ella with a bottle of antidote, or the diluted antidote. If the news spread, everyone would frantically want to get an antidote from her.

But Ella also said that she didn't have much in stock, and she couldn't even get together the materials to make it. Naturally, such an important thing could not flow out of the royal family.

At this time, Lucis was very grateful that he was the king of Sathya. In this land, no one dared to disobey him, let alone persecute Ayla he guarded.

Fortunately, this news did not spread. As early as the first time, he shut up all those who knew the news, not allowing anyone to say anything. Even those innocent people who were arrested were warned repeatedly.For similar news, they will be arrested and locked up to die of old age, while obedient people can get a hush money when they leave.

As Lucis said, no one dared to challenge the king, and Ella's medicine saved their lives. People with conscience would not deliberately advertise the treasures in the hands of the savior after being warned.

It was not enough to finish all these, Lucis also secretly sent people to monitor them, firstly to see if there were hidden conspirators among these people, and secondly to make sure that they were really obedient.

But Lucis didn't tell Ella about these troubles, and didn't even ask her more and more secrets, and Ella dared to take out the antidote so brazenly because she knew that she could solve these problemsTo save people, they maintain a tacit understanding and don't pursue those secret truths.

On this day, Ella invited the bride and groom's mother to several weddings as promised. At first she only wanted to invite the bride and groom's mother and bride who did not attend the two weddings.All the foreign brides and their mother-in-laws were invited, and by the way, Rosalind and other ex-princesses who were also foreign princesses were invited to hold this not-so-small tea party.

It was a rare day in Sathya because it was raining.

The country of Sathya has very little rainfall. Most of the rain in a year is concentrated in winter. In other seasons, especially summer, it is difficult to see rainy days. Even if there is, it is mostly light rain.The kind that is quickly evaporated to dryness by the heat of the earth, and the time will not last too long.

But today is different. The sky in Sathya has been a rare cloudy day for the past few days, and this rain started to fall from the night before.The ground then became dense and powerful. When Ella was awakened by the sound of rain, she got up and watched the night rain for a while.

At that time, the first time she saw the rain was not surprise, but rejoicing. Fortunately, the supervisor at the ranch saw that the weather was not right these days, and had already ordered people to step up to harvest all the wheat, and the rain fell at night.Yes, the wheat that needs to be dried before it can be weighed and reported is stored in the warehouse. Otherwise, this sudden heavy rain may cause the wheat to rot in the ground, and don’t know how much damage it will cause.

When got up in the morning, the rain had not stopped. The majestic torrential rain last night became long and thin. The air was rarely free from the smell of yellow sand and dust. It became moist and clear, as if the whole world had been cleaned.

In such a rainy situation, it is naturally impossible for their tea party to be held outdoors, and the original indoor room has become a not so good choice at this time - it would be a bit of a shame not to appreciate this hard-won summer rain.It's a waste of money.

She asked the maids to change the place of entertaining guests to the promenade of the garden. Looking down from the promenade on the second floor, you can enjoy the rain falling from the boundless sky, and you can also see the raindrops falling on the leaves in the garden.The way it causes the leaves to shake.

The ladies were all invited, and they brought well-prepared gifts to Ella, and those noble ladies also brought their own daughters, thinking that they would bring their daughters who were about the same age as the princess, and maybe they could be with the princessYour Highness hit it off and made friends.

Thinking a little deeper, the future queen will always have some vassals who are higher than the maids. These people can accompany her to entertain and pass the time, and they can also help her share some cumbersome harem affairs in the future and advise her.

Ella didn't get angry because of this. It's normal to bring the juniors of the family to the party, and there are a few more girls of the same age who are very good at talking, and the atmosphere of the party is indeed better.

As for their plan, she didn't think too much about it.

They sat in the promenade, drinking the black tea carefully brewed by the maid, and eating the cakes and refreshments specially prepared by Ella in the kitchen.People will talk uninterestedly about the recent assassination of the king's manager, because it is not appropriate.

Not only Ella, but the invited guests have also been tense during this time. First of all, it happened not long after His Majesty and the princess attended the wedding banquet.It was not easy, and their newly married daughters-in-law were all noble daughters from foreign countries. Before the matter was found out, they were very worried that they would be implicated.The invitation made them drop the idea.

Now that His Majesty the King announced that the country behind these noble ladies was not involved, and the princess invited their family members to the party, these nobles were finally relieved that His Majesty would not punish them for this..

And people like Rosalind will not be mentioned, because some of them are from the same country as the missions involved in hiring assassins. Although they have left their country for many years, because of identity issues, there will still be peopleShe showed suspicious eyes to them, and Ella's invitation can be said to be timely, letting everyone understand that the royal family did not mean to blame them, and even faintly protected them, a group of foreign princesses.

Therefore, everyone at the party was very grateful for Ella's kindness, and no one wanted to spoil the atmosphere at this time and make everyone unhappy.

This is also what Ella is most satisfied with. She doesn't like dealing with other nobles because they have too many twists and turns. A good party and banquet will always have a strong purpose and make people feel boring.
