Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1046: Warning

Alan sat in his room, bandaged and smelling of herbs. He had unsheathed the Eternal Guardian with only one coat. His coat was open, allowing Nelly to change his dressing and heal his wounds. The changed bandage was stained with blood, and there were some unnatural black spots in the blood color. That was the phenomenon after the toxin was expelled. Eric's pair of blood-colored daggers were contaminated with some kind of poison, but Alan had drunk King Snake blood and had a natural resistance to the poison. In addition, the Heavenly Fire Origin Energy was exceptionally tyrannical. After a day of rest, the poison in his body had basically been cleaned up.

After returning from the Screaming Forest yesterday, Clerk Graham and Arkham's men came to visit him one after another, but Alan refused them on the grounds of rest. But today, Alan wanted to visit someone.

Arkham.

Alan was flipping Eric's blood-red dagger. The dagger was originally a pair, but the other dagger was burned with Eric by Skyfire. Only this dagger was intact. The poison on the dagger had been cleaned by Nelly. This dagger was beautifully made, and its entire body was dark red. As if blood was flowing, the blade had a subtle arc, which made it more flexible in the twists and turns. The blade had golden patterns on its body. It did not look like it was embedded with golden threads at a later stage, but the original patterns on the blade's body.

At this time, Nelly finished the work in her hand. She tied the bandage with a dark knot and stood up. Just now, she was half-kneeling by the bed, almost sticking to Alan. This ambiguous posture made Nelly's face burst into flames. Now that he had left Alan's side, he was a little reluctant to part with him.

Alan put down his dagger and buttoned his clothes. He stood up and said, "Get someone to prepare a car. I'm going to the General's Mansion."

Nelly left the room with a "hmm" sound. josei

A moment later, Alan got into a carriage. Regis and the twin knights accompanied him. In the carriage, Milu and Mila were like two curious big girls, pointing at the scenery outside and smiling knowingly from time to time. The two of them were carved out of almost the same mold. Sitting together was like looking in a mirror. If they weren't familiar with their characteristics, it would be difficult to distinguish between them.

Regis was unhappy. The youth was unhappy about what had happened and even swore that he would never drink again. It seemed that the first time he drank alcohol had left a shadow over him. Alan narrowed his eyes and suddenly slapped Regis on the thigh. The youth was shocked and almost jumped up. Then he frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

"I'm the one who wants to ask you?" Ellen said to the twin sisters on the opposite seat, "Look at these two beautiful girls sitting opposite you. It's very rude of you to turn a blind eye to them."

Milo and Mila covered their mouths and chuckled. They were about the same age as Regis. Previously, he had gotten along quite well with Regis on the journey. From the time they first met strangers until now, the three of them had already become good friends. Normally, teenagers' temperament would always be easy to get along with. But today, Regis was depressed, so he was naturally silent all the way. Now that Alan said that, he couldn't help but turn around and say, "I'm not as heartless and heartless as you are."

Ellen knocked him on the head and said, "You must have learned it from Adele."

The two sisters chuckled when they saw Regis rubbing his head and clenching his teeth.

Ellen reached out and grabbed Regis's head. "Please, don't be so sad about how old you are this year." You should be glad that you are still alive, otherwise how can you see such a beautiful girl like Milumina? That's right, we sacrificed a lot of people. But if you feel ashamed of them, you must live well. Otherwise, wouldn't their sacrifices be wasted? "

"Also, it is because we are still alive that we can do more. For example, right now, I want someone to settle this debt properly. So, you see, only we who are alive can do these things. If they are as depressed as you, who will ask for an explanation for those who have died?" Alan let go of him and said, "If you can't pull yourself together, then get the hell out of here."

Regis gritted his teeth and said, "Don't even think about it!"

"That's right. Oh, here we are. Come on, brother." Alan jumped out of the carriage and looked up at the gate of the General's Mansion.

This time, Arkham did not meet Alan at the arena. An officer led them to the main hall. A moment later, Great General Arkham arrived at the living room. "Arkham is back," said Alan Sir Alan coolly.

"General, do you want me to not come back?" Alan asked with a smile.

Arkham's eyes turned cold, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing much. I was just casually saying it." Alan raised his hand and Mira handed Eric the dagger to him. Alan placed it on the table and asked, "I'd like to ask the general to see what this is."

The Bear Armored Army officer placed the dagger in front of Arkham's desk. Arkham glanced at it and the corner of his eyes twitched. "Did Sir Alan find the wrong person? I'm good at leading troops to war, but when it comes to weapon identification, I'm an amateur."

"I see. This dagger is so special, and its material is even rarer. General, do you think that if I look for an appraiser from the auction house in the city, I can identify the origin of this weapon?"

Arkham narrowed his eyes. The officer beside him coughed softly and said, "This seems to be one of the two blades of Silkblade. Silkblade is the weapon of the Earl of Tiger Shark Harbor."

Ellen nodded and said, "There is finally someone who knows what to do. Does the general want to know where I got this Silkblade Dagger?"

Arkham said in a low voice, "Alright, Viscount Allen, you can say what you want. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"Alright, since the general is so straightforward, then I'm not afraid to say it directly." Alan stood up and reached out to grab it. Silkworm jumped into his hand from Arkham's desk. Allen turned to Silverfront and said, "Yesterday in the Screaming Forest, I bumped into Eric, the Bloody Earl, and he himself admitted it." What happened to my men in the city and the death of the trembling snake were all related to it. All of this is aimed at killing me. Fortunately, I had some luck and finally came back alive. I have a few questions that I can't figure out since I came back, so I want to ask the general for advice. "

Arkham snorted, "I can't help you with that."

"General, don't refuse. Perhaps you can really help me." Ellen raised a finger and said indifferently, "The Bloody Earl's territory is in Tiger Shark Harbor, but he appeared in Mosaiol. Would the general not know that a powerful Earl had crossed the border?"

"Bullshit, where is he going, Eric? Don't tell me I have to follow him like a bug. How did I know he would come to Mosaiore!"

"The general said so don't mind children? Even I know that it is not a small matter for experts to cross the border. Could it be that the Great General of the Empire doesn't know this truth? Well, even if I take 10,000 steps back, I'll pretend the general doesn't know where Eric is. Let me ask the general a second question. The Green Algae Hotel was guarded by the Bear Armored Army when I went to Screaming Forest, but even so, one of Eric's men easily took my woman out of the hotel and used her to threaten me. Allen asked sternly, "How can the general explain this matter?"

"What do you mean!" "Viscount Allen, are you suspecting that I have something to do with Eric?" Said Arkham.

"That's right. If not, why would the Bear Armored Army be useless? Could it be that you want to tell me that the elites of the empire can't even look after a woman?" Alan tit for tat.

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became filled with gunpowder. Arkham's short hair stood upright and his eyes widened. Alan did not show weakness, his gaze as sharp as lightning. A moment later, Arkham snorted coldly, "No matter what you think, this daddy has nothing to do with Eric. Suspect him as much as you like, send him off!"

Ellen laughed, "Actually, this matter isn't hard to investigate. If I were Eric, the general probably wouldn't buy it if I asked him to deal with me together." Eric's greatest possibility, then, was to persuade the general to make things easier for him, for example, not to dig deeper into what happened in Morse Orry, or to let his men leave the hotel easily. Of course, I'm sure the general won't sell Eric out in a few words, so our count must have given the general some benefits. "Then if you look at the count's recent changes in assets, you will probably see some signs. You think so, respected General Arkham?"

"You are slandering an imperial general!" Arkham roared.

"It's not slander, it's just reasonable speculation. Of course, I will investigate and test my deductions." "What I want to tell you, General Arkham, is that whoever wants to deal with me must be prepared to be hit back by me. Eric is an example, and there will be more. I sincerely hope that the general will not be one of them," Allen said coolly.

Alan gestured and left with Regis and the others. The arrogance of that figure caused the corner of Arkham's eyes to twitch. After Alan left, Arkham's angry roar and a string of broken objects sounded in the living room.

On the way back, Ellen sat in the carriage and played with Silkie. He smiled and said, "Now Arkham must be furious."

"Are you sure he's involved in this?" Regis frowned.

'"I'm not sure, but Arkham's suspicions are definitely not small. Without him nodding, it would be very difficult for Eric to do as he pleases in Morcerori. Of course, as I said, it's just a guess now. We don't have any solid evidence. But I think that's enough to warn Arkham, or even some people in the Imperial Army."

On this day Eric's corpse and the Silkedge Dagger were delivered to the sheriff of Mosaiore, who, with a sullen face, called for Graham, who reported the matter to the mayor as if he had burned his buttocks. After walking through their hands for a while, Eric failed to take action against Alan in Mosaiore. On the contrary, the matter of losing his life quickly spread throughout the empire.
