Due to the dizziness of the crowd, mana fluctuations are still difficult to detect.
Just when Lin Qing continued to look for other means.
A sharp arrow popped out from the crowd.
The arrow flew out quickly after being released from the bow, aiming at the Pope.
Suddenly a burst of flames burst into the air.
The arrow was quickly bounced and landed in an open space.
Standing in front of the Pope was a young man.
He blocked the arrow and delivered the order.
"Protect the Pope!"
Orders fell from Grand Duke Gregory.
The holy guards who approached the pope immediately surrounded her.
Furthermore, the paladins immediately dispersed, looking for the intruder.
"Stop standing! Find him!"
"Don't move! Any suspicious person will be identified as an assassin immediately!"
The soldiers all lay on the ground like frogs, they were afraid of the holy guard.
Lin Qing "Nine Six Seven" also lay down.
In that case, if he leaves here, he will probably be framed and then involved in a very tiring affair.
"Damn, what is this?"
Losing Eisenberg, the prevailing Kingdom of Konrad might try to assassinate her with vague ideas.
But under such circumstances, Lin Qing still wants to make sure if the pope is Lena!
no time to complain if the killer is not caught soon
The pope, whose life is threatened, may be asked to return.
Even if the Pope doesn't go back immediately, for her safety, he probably won't let her see anyone.
"I made a low-level mistake, because I was looking forward to seeing Reina, so I didn't stay vigilant"
Lin Qing began to think about the situation before the assassination.
A sharp sound flew in.
This means the arrows are not from the longbow.
Common sense dictates that in such a crowded place, the shouts of the assassins are audible and audible.
Judging by the sound, the arrow did not come from a distance.
The sound must have come from nearby, and the weapon used was not a bow.
He could guess what weapon it was.
It was a pistol.
People call it a hand cannon or a firearm.
It was a weapon filled with gunpowder, which came from the south --- the state of Song.
Used correctly, it can kill a knight in armor.
However, this is not a weapon commonly used in Rhodesia, and it has no effect on heavy armor weapons like Titan.
However, there are also some mercenaries who carry them with them and use them to shoot enemy commanders or deal with knights above the expert level.
Lin Qing learned about it because a recruit wanted to join the Red Wolf Mercenary Group.
"You are the murderer!"
"Eh? No, no! Not me!"
"Don't lie! If that's the case, why do I smell gunpowder from you?"
Paladins, like Lin Qing, are everywhere looking for suspects.
Most mercenaries have hand cannons.
"Where did you hide your weapon?"
"I tell you, I don't have that kind of thing! Why are you wronging me!"
"Don't play tricks on me, say!" the paladin yelled.
"I, it's not me! It's really not me!"
Lin Qing frowned as he watched the suspect being beaten up by the paladins.
He thought the weapon used in the assassination was also a hand cannon, but something seemed wrong.
"The gunfire did sound, but there was no smell of gunpowder or smoke, other than that, the mana response was smooth..."
Lin Qing quickly looked around.
Given where the gunshots sounded, the assassin was likely nearby.
The assassin could have retreated, but what if he chose to attack again?
"You! You are here! Why are you looking around?"
A paladin belonging to the Holy Guard spotted Lin Qing looking around.
Lin Qing has been searching, trying to find the assassin.
"I ask what are you doing?" the paladin called out.
"Quiet! You're distracting me!"
Lin Qing pushed away the paladin's hand on his shoulder, looking for the mana that had a suspicious reaction.
The assassin is still there.
Most importantly, he is closer to the Pope than one might expect.
"Are there any assassins among these people?"
Grand Duke Gregory looked at the assassin suspects his men had discovered.
Everyone was screaming, some of them were crying "I didn't do it!".
Seeing this, the Grand Duke just shook his head.
"It's all a waste of time."
He has guarded the Pope for a long time, so he naturally knows what an assassin looks like and how he behaves.
Basically they are very calm, the higher the assassin level, the harder it is to find.
And they're never caught by such basic mistakes as the smell of gunpowder.
Even if they bleed to death, they are still as calm as the sea.
Even when they're in trouble, their bodies will always be ready for the next strike.
And it was impossible for his subordinates to bring it out without even thinking about it.
When you are in a hurry to find an assassin among tens of thousands of troops
"Let them all go, they didn't do it..."
"Grand Duke, then..."
"If I were an assassin, I would watch for this to happen and take the next step.
"sure?"
A paladin thought to himself.
A blond killer ran out of the crowd with his sword drawn.
It seemed that he was a man of extraordinary skill. Upon seeing this, Grand Duke Gregory's face hardened.
"assassin!"
"Come and protect the Pope! Keep the Pope safe!"
Some paladins around the pope stepped forward to stop the assassins, while others re-established the cordon, supported the pope and pushed her into the carriage.
But Veronica III did not move a step.
"What's the matter, Pope?"
"The man..."
Veronica, who was observing through the veil, looked at the man rushing in front of the paladin.
The paladins thought he was an assassin, but they didn't expect him to be the man they had seen many times in their dreams.
A person who has been staring at her, in those eyes is the man who is full of longing for her.
"Lin Qing!"
When Lin Qing's face appeared, Lei Na covered her chest.
Her heart started beating wildly and her mind went blank.
A brief whirlwind of emotions hit her, quickly waking her up, along with memories she'd been forgetting.
The memory of the broken Volga Princess and the two years she lived as Pope Veronica III in the Holy Arthurian Empire.
Reyna! I know she's Reyna!
When Lin Qing stared at the veiled Pope, his face turned pale.
He doesn't feel down.
After seeing each other for a long time, the suppressed emotions finally came out.
But he couldn't immediately show how happy he was.
The person who was considered to be the killer was getting closer and closer to her.
"this person!"
"Ahem!"
The paladin who was ahead of Lena slashed Lin Qing's shoulder with his sword.
Lin Qing even forgot to dodge the attack, but, even if she was hit, Lin Qing didn't have time to hesitate.
Because a black hole appeared in the sky.
"Where are you looking at..."
The paladin was startled.
Surprisingly, the hand code suddenly appeared beside him.
As soon as the paladin stopped, the real assassin appeared in mid-air, aiming at Reina. .
