Chapter 313 The Hand of Death (Part 1)

The Royal Palace of St. Grant's Castle is huge.

Prince Chen stood on the top of the palace castle, staring at the Saint-Grand Castle under the drizzle. His eyes revealed a touch of gloom and depression.

It is different from the way in which the princes of Zealand compete for the throne.

When the King of Sealand was on the throne, many princes would compete for honor with open arms to win followers of the principality.

With the death of the King of Sealand, the most powerful prince has basically been selected after many screenings and eliminations, and has received the inheritance of the Sword of Glory and commanded Sealand.

Now, all the Sealand princes are devoted to the war of invading Finland.

Protecting their homeland, a large number of Finnish scholars died.

These scholars are often also alchemists. As a result, the prices of various magical items have also increased.

The battle for the throne of Gran is a silent war.

The competition for conspiracy power is often carried out silently, and it is even more cruel!

A beautiful woman, with a group of maids, slowly walked towards the castle where Prince Chen was staying.

Signaling the maids to retreat, she looked at Prince Chen who was overlooking St. Gran Castle under the drizzle, and said in a low voice, "Your father, I'm afraid his body won't last long."

This beautiful woman is none other than Prince Chen’s mother, Princess Xilan, Vaqina, whom she married more than twenty years ago.

Exquisite hairpin, beautiful face.

"Your brother, Prince Bo, is accompanying him. According to reliable information, he has obtained the position of leader of the Royal Sky Knights."

"knew."

Prince Chen's oppression made the beautiful woman's heart feel like a knife.

"The position of head of the Royal Sky Knights, coupled with the support of the military and your father's will, the next step is the Royal Academician Committee. The ministers who support Prince Ping have surrounded the palace, and even Wisdom The Temple of the Goddess and the Holy See also sent sacrifices, saying they were praying for your father, but everyone knows that they are in the lineage of Prince Ping, so you have to find a way to fight for the opportunity!"

The finger of the thumb is slightly shiny.

Prince Chen took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Queen mother, please go back. I have my own plans."

Vaqina knew that he resented herself.

It was he who brought him to this world of suffering. He was in the Grand Palace, but he had the blood of the Sealand royal family, and he was born with original sin.

If you want to get anything, the price you have to pay is far more than others.

After Vaqina left, Prince Chen said in a low voice: "Have you found out about the Aurora power hidden behind eldest brother?"

An old man walked out of the shadows. He was Prince Chen's most trusted confidant. His rickety body was almost bent to the ground. He said in a low voice, "It's confirmed, it's the hand of the God of Death."

"The hand of death?"

Prince Chen had never heard of this organization.

"It is an ancient killer organization in Aurora. It is said that they strictly follow some ancient system and have very few internal members."

The old man added: "But extremely powerful!"

Prince Chen looked puzzled and said: "Since the Holy See has clearly supported the second brother, how dare this Death Hand, who was born in Aurora, openly defy the Holy See and support the eldest brother?"

"this……"

The old man shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that."

"The eldest brother has the support of the Hand of Death, the Royal Sky Knights, the military and the emperor, the second brother has the support of the Holy See, the Temple of Wisdom, and the noble forces of the principality, and I..."

"No!"

The old man suddenly interrupted Prince Chen.

"His Majesty the Emperor did not fully support Prince Bo, otherwise the shadow army deep in the palace should not remain untouched. Others don't know, but you should know that the leader of the shadow army is that!"

Prince Chen suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Come out with me."

"Where to go?"

"Redridge Ridge!"

…

Three years of development.

Redridge Ridge has gradually developed from a barren land with nothing at the beginning to a town with thousands of people, and the territory is prosperous.

Prince Chen in disguise, with a pale face, hurried to the Leiluo Solar Energy Laboratory under the protection of his guards.

"Quick! Call Baron Lei Luo!"

The old scholar supported the seriously injured Prince Chen and said anxiously.

Aoun recognized Prince Chen's identity and immediately informed Lei Luo, who ran out.

"Lei Luo..."

Drenched in cold sweat, Prince Chen passed out.

"what happened!"

Staring at Prince Chen whose chest was stained with blood, Lei Luo signaled Anjina to disperse the people watching near the street, and helped the unconscious Prince Chen into the laboratory.

"Bai Lian, activate the highest defense of the magic array!"

"Ya Qian, summon the guardian!"

The so-called guardian naturally refers to the arrival of the second true form of the Tree of Truth.

After activating the laboratory's emergency protection measures, Lei Luo and others took Prince Chen to the inner room and carefully uncovered his clothes. His critical injury made him look stern.

"Who did it?"

"The hand of death is the killer sent by Prince Bo. Prince Chen left the palace in order to see you and was poisoned."

At this moment, Prince Chen's face was pale, without a trace of blood, and he looked like he had lost too much blood. His body was sweating coldly, and strange black smoke was coming from the wound on his chest, forming a twisted skull.

Fortunately, protected by the soft light emitted by the jade pendant around his waist, the black poison was restrained near the wound and did not spread. Otherwise, this terrifying poison would have cut off Prince Chen's upgrade.

Lei Luo looked at Aoun who was standing aside and said, "Call Merlin over quickly."

After a long time.

Merlin guided the strange poison from Prince Chen's wound to a rabbit specimen. In an instant, the black smoke of these twisted skulls was attracted by the fresh flesh and blood, and rushed towards the rabbit, corroding it into a pile of white bones.

Merlin looked serious and said, "It's the Black Widow!"

Well?

Facing Lei Luo's surprise, Merlin rolled his eyes and said, "I'm talking about this kind of poison."

After the toxin was removed, Lei Luo delivered some blood to Prince Chen, prepared some magic medicine, and applied it to the wound.

After being busy for nearly an hour, Prince Chen's situation improved slightly.

The sky turned dark unconsciously.

Lei Luo took a deep breath and signaled Merlin to take care of Prince Chen. He led the old man to the living room.

"What's going on? Your Excellency came here the last two times. Why did Prince Chen come here this time? Didn't you tell Prince Chen about my situation and conditions?"

"He wants to come and have a look in person. You know, he is a man of his word. Your conditions are not a small matter even for the emperor of the principality. Moreover, even if he does not leave the palace, this day will only come later. , you should know his situation."

The rickety old man sighed, looked directly at Lei Luo and said sincerely: "He needs your help!"

After Lei Luo was silent for a moment, he said in a low voice: "Is your Majesty feeling ill?"

"Um."

The old man said solemnly: "It happened three days ago."

Lei Luo pursed his lips and said seriously: "Anyway, let's wait until His Highness wakes up first. Let's talk about the Hand of Death. Since he is a killer, those people will definitely come back after knowing that Prince Chen is not dead. I Although there are some forces here, they cannot ensure Prince Chen’s safety.”

After a while.

After understanding the preliminary information about the Hand of Death, Lei Luo took out the black crystal ball and secretly contacted M.

"I'm in some trouble here."

The distance between the two was very close, and the crystal ball could provide a light screen image. M frowned and said, "What happened?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Chen of the Grand Dukedom is here with me. He is being hunted by the hand of death."

M curled his lips and said: "Guardians will not participate in the struggle for political rights within human beings. You should know that I can't help you with anything."

"I want to know the specific background of the Hand of Death."

After hesitating for a long time, M said slowly: "Few outsiders know that the so-called Hand of Death is just a secret force under the Holy See, responsible for some special tasks that are inconvenient for the arbiter to intervene. Remember, this kind of thing must not be done. spread to the outside world.”

Lei Luo looked stern when he heard this.

M closed the crystal ball communication. Obviously, this information was only informed because of his special relationship with Lei Luo.

"It's the Holy See again! Maybe... the person behind this is not Prince Bo?"

Lei Luo looked solemn.
