Chapter 97 Robert is numb! (Please order first!)
You tell me that Lis Cain is silver level? What a joke!
Robert was choked and coughed, but the look of disbelief on his face undoubtedly raised such questions to his men.
“That's certainly true, Lord Robert!”
The subordinates used a very clear tone to dispel Robert's last glimmer of hope.
“Although I don't know what caused the wind blade to be defeated, I'm pretty sure that I saw that guy Li Si use the fourth-level spell [Advanced Elemental Shield]!”
If it is [Advanced Elemental Shield], then it is indeed certain.
Although it was hard to believe, Robert accepted the reality that Lis Kane was a silver-level mage.
Trouble!
This was the first thought that came to Robert's mind.
Because all of His Highness's previous arrangements and plans regarding Li Si were based on Li Si being a bronze-level mage, this sudden discovery cast a shadow over Robert's heart.
Should we proceed as planned?
No, Li Si is already a Silver Mage, there may be even a slight chance that there may be a problem with the assassination of the Golden Assassin on the Holy Festival!
And if he is a silver-level mage, it is impossible that he has just made a breakthrough recently!
That shows that Li Si has been hiding his own strength before!
So Camus' previous temptation was delivered to his door!
No wonder Camus has never been found. He may have fallen into Li Si's hands.
Robert was shocked to realize that Lord Atian's plan might go wrong!
If Camus was really caught or even killed by Li Si, wouldn't Li Si become suspicious?
Won't Camus reveal even the slightest bit of information?
While Robert was wandering back and forth in the room worriedly, another intelligence officer from the palace also knocked on the door gently, bringing him another bad news.
"What? You said that Lis Kane was summoned by His Majesty the King yesterday?"
Robert was numb and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. The continuous bad news made him feel that the situation was getting out of control.
No, no, no! No more attacks on Lis Kane!
Whether he is a silver-level mage or not, whether he has learned about His Highness the Second Prince's plan or not, when he enters the king's sight, it brings too many variables to the plan.
You must know that the reason why Li Si was chosen as the target of the assassination on the Holy Festival was because he was weak and had few contacts, and his status as a palace viscount just met the requirements of His Highness to create an impact.
For someone with a higher status, the negative impact of the assassination may be greater than expected, and may even affect His Highness.
Those whose status is too low, their death will not cause any trouble, and they will not be able to make the palace nobles feel the same and ask the kingdom to start a war with the same hatred.
So, a total of four people were selected for assassination on the Holy Festival. Li Si was the court viscount, and the other three were all court barons.
The plan was good, but you told me that Li Si just went to see His Majesty the King?
The most important thing about this plan is not to arouse the suspicion of His Majesty the King!
It would be fine if a few non-existent little nobles died, the king didn't know them anyway.
But if the king knew or even said that the noble he was paying attention to died, the meaning would be different.
If the king becomes suspicious, whether it is to forcibly suppress the nobles' call for war, or to conduct an in-depth investigation into the whole story of the Holy Festival assassination, this is something that Lord Atian and himself cannot accept.
You must know that no matter how rigorous the plan is, no matter how thorough the arrangement is, as long as you are willing to pay a huge price, in this world where legends and gods exist, there is no secret that will never be discovered.
“Why did you send the news just now? How many things have been missed!”
Robert looked at the men who were ambushing the palace sternly and said reproachfully.
You had told me earlier, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have arranged for anyone to test Li Si today!
When my subordinate heard this, he felt a little aggrieved, and he defended himself:
“Isn't this your order, saying that there is a legendary monk in the palace, and you asked me to come to you during my normal rest time?”
Robert was stunned, this was really his order.
The legendary monk's perception is very sharp, and anything that is not in line with common sense may attract that person's attention, so he ordered his subordinates like this at that time. Robert couldn't help but feel a little irritable. After waving his hand to let his men leave, he sat there and thought for a long time, then hurried out in the darkness and rushed towards the stronghold of the two-story building on Feis Street.
In a secret small building, there is a study room on the second floor.
Second Prince Ate sat quietly behind the desk, listening to Robert's trembling report with a gloomy face, his brows furrowed high.
Even in the face of such bad news, he could no longer maintain his calm expression.
“Are you sure of what you said?”
Yat'an's voice was slightly deep, and Robert was a little nervous, but he still made a promise.
“There should be no problem with both pieces of information. They were both reported by my most capable subordinates.”
“So, Camus is missing, maybe the problem lies with Li Si?”
Robert carefully raised his head and looked at Atian's face, and asked uneasily:
“You mean to avenge Camus?”
Yatean glanced at Robert who was standing in front of the table and cursed:
“You are as confused as Camus. You know that something is wrong with Li Si, but you still go up to him to cause trouble?”
“Would you like to spend some time with Camus?”
Robert was scolded by the second prince, but his heart was somewhat relieved, which showed that Master Artian had not given up on him.
“There's no need to worry about Camus, whether he's dead or alive.”
Yat'an gave up Camus directly. As the second prince, he still had this decision.
“Robert, all the targets on the Holy Festival have been re-selected, not only Lis, but also the other three barons.”
Yatean looked at Robert with sharp eyes and asked.
“Is it coming in time?”
Although Yat'an knew that this might cause a lot of trouble and the time was tight, with the unstable factor of Li Si, Yat'an was even more unwilling to accept the failure of the Holy Festival assassination plan.
“No problem, Your Highness Yat'an.”
Hearing this, Robert immediately made a solemn promise. There were too many inconspicuous little nobles in Bright Light City. Although it would be a little troublesome, instead of continuing to test Li Si, it would be more convenient to change the target directly.
“Robert, other plans are basically in place. I don't want any further setbacks in this matter.”
Yat'an's calm voice sounded in his ears, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on Robert's body, and he immediately fell to his knees subconsciously.
“Your Highness, please rest assured, there will definitely be no more problems!”
Atyan did not express any expression of Robert's determination. Instead, he said:
“Li Si, let's continue to collect intelligence.”
"But don't let your subordinates take the initiative. Whether you buy it from an intelligence dealer or other methods, give me detailed information about Lis Kane."
“I am somewhat interested in our Viscount Kane!”
Robert raised his head secretly and saw a smile on the second prince's face.
Requesting first order! Thank you guys!
