The Wise Lord chapter 146

The Wise Lord 146

Chapter 146 – Anger and…(1)

An incident that occurred in the Yeongju Castle.

The incident quickly spread all over Leuven.

As a result, Ruben flipped over.

“The lord received an assassination threat…?”

“Oh my God… Oh my God…”

Assassination attempt on Xian.

Of course, this was not the first time an assassination attempt had been made on Xi’an.

But then, is this an assassination…? I was about to question it.

It was subdued before the assassination even began.

Because of that, no one was victimized.

Of course, the fact that there was an assassination attempt remained unchanged.

However, due to Xian’s quiet handling of the matter, the locals did not know the details of the situation.

But not this time.

“I heard Instructor Conner is in a very critical situation.”

This assassination attempt clearly had a ‘victim’.

And the assassin who wanted to assassinate Xian.

“But I heard… that Conner tried to assassinate the lord…?”

The assassin was none other than Ruben’s assassination instructor, Kerner.

“what? What nonsense is that?”

“Then you tried to assassinate the lord and failed?”

“I do not know either. It’s just a story I’ve heard…”

The situation where Ji-Min Yeong of Ruben tried to assassinate Xian.

This was shocking to the people of Leuven.

That would also be true, because to the people of Ruben’s territory, Xi’an was more than a lord.

It was impossible to betray such a proposal.

But beyond betrayal, he even committed an assassination attempt?

“Why is Instructor Conner…?”

“What the hell is going on?”

The Yeongji people could not understand the situation at all.

However, nothing came out clearly.

As a result, different opinions began to emerge from the local residents.

“Come to think of it… Wasn’t Mr. Conner a high-class assassin from an underworld?”

“Could it be that the reason you came to Ruben…?”

The villagers began to amplify their suspicions about Kerner.

A high-class assassin from the underworld, Kerner.

Although now a resident of Leuven, Kerner’s past has not disappeared.

“Ah, there must be some misunderstanding.”

“I can’t believe Instructor Connor is the lord…”

“The Instructor Conner I saw was definitely not someone like that.”

Still, there were people who believed in Kerner.

Kerner seen as a native of Leuven.

Because the actions he had shown for Ruben could not be seen as lies at all.

As much as Youngjimin thinks and believes in Xian.

The young people also thought of each other and believed in each other.

but.

“Even so…”

“How can the lord…”

Suspicion of Kerner did not subside.

In the midst of such internally divergent opinions.

“No, it could be a misunderstanding. Did you just hear the story? How do you decide that?”

“But it’s true that Conner tried to murder the lord.”

“what? Kerner? You’re not even Instructor Kerner anymore, are you?”

It made the united Ruben little by little a sign of division.

All of Ruben was turned upside down.

Now that the whole Ruben is confused like that.

‘God’s Healing Center Lv.5’ located in Leuven

Hans heard the news and hurriedly headed to God’s Healing Center Lv.5.

And there were already many people gathered in the treatment center.

“What the heck… what happened?”

Everyone in the treatment center shook their heads at Hans’ question.

They didn’t seem to know what the situation was.

The assassination attempt that took place in Xi’an’s office.

Ali was unaware of what had happened in it.

only one.

-That’s right…

Only Leah knew the full story of the situation.

Leah, who is Ruben’s guardian and also serves as the butler of the lord’s castle.

Leah had a habit of secretly eavesdropping from behind a wall whenever guests came to Xian’s office.

Xian knew that, but he was passing it on without even knowing it.

– At first… nothing special happened.

Leah calmly explained what had happened in the office.

After such a short story.

“·······”

Hans felt like his head was getting more complicated.

As for the situation, it was like this.

Kerner handed Sian a dumpling, and Sian ate it.

Then Kerner also ate dumplings, and Kerner collapsed vomiting blood.

“Did the dumplings Kerner ate contain poison?”

Leah nodded calmly.

That means that someone poisoned the dumplings Xian was eating.

The dumplings Xian ate were none other than Dana.

That’s why the prime suspect for poisoning was Dana.

However, Dana was quickly removed from suspicion.

There was no reason not to.

If he had intended to do that in the first place, Dana could have done so right away.

Then there is only one person left.

“Did Kerner… poison the dumplings?”

-I think so.

“·······”

Seeing Leia nod again, Hans shut his mouth.

In a word, it meant that Kerner himself ate the poison dumplings he was trying to feed Xian.

Hans slowly looked away.

And among the crowded people.

I was able to find one man who was alone.

Xian was sitting alone in the corner of the treatment center.

Xian’s whole body was covered with blood.

Can you survive with that much blood?

It was bloody enough to raise such a question.

I couldn’t believe the amount of blood that had come from just one person.

I wondered if it would be like that for someone who had just returned from the battlefield.

Xian just sat there without a word or expression.

Perhaps because of that, the atmosphere in Xian was quite different from usual.

I didn’t feel like I was a little dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

It was heavy somewhere, and it looked like it was angry about something.

Because of that, of course, the people who gathered at the treatment center.

Leah was also unable to approach Xian hastily.

A look of Xian that had never been seen in Leuven.

But Hans, who had been with Xian all his life, had seen it.

It wasn’t that many… but just once.

I had seen Xian like that in my family.

“young master···.”

That’s why Hans was very worried about Xian.

Right then.

Click.

The door inside the treatment center opened, revealing a plain, beautiful woman.

Ellie, Grayson’s daughter and Ruben’s outstanding healer.

Hans turned his gaze away from Xian and asked Eli directly.

“How, how did it happen?”

Ellie shook her head softly with a haggard face.

“Fortunately, all the poison absorbed into the body has been removed. Actually, I didn’t do anything. The poison was already being cleansed. I’ll probably wake up after a day off.”

“Huh…”

“Hmm…”

People including Hans burst into exclamation at Eli’s words.

I didn’t see Kerner’s condition.

However, you could tell just by looking at Xian’s body covered in blood.

The poison that Kerner ate is a deadly poison that will never be seen again in the world.

But, of course, even if you eat such poison, you are alive.

The poison was being cleansed without Ellie’s treatment?

So if you take a day off, you can wake up?

So, wasn’t poisoning meaningless in the first place?

“hmm···.”

“Huh…”

People couldn’t figure out how to understand this.

“Nevertheless, it was a very vicious poison. It was the first kind I had ever seen, so where the hell did you get this kind of poison…”

No matter how good Eli is in medical knowledge.

I didn’t know about all the herbs and poisons in the world.

However, almost no one knew as well as Ellie.

It was impossible unless someone had not studied poison in depth.

And there was only one such existence in Ruben.

“Could it be that Conner decided to assassinate the lord?”

There was only Conner, a high-class assassin from the underworld.

“Until that point, I’m fine…”

Ellie shook her head softly, but didn’t say anything else.

And the others didn’t open their mouths either.

but just didn’t say anything.

A common idea was running through their heads.

A kind of poison that even Ellie had never seen before.

What it means is…

Right then.

“no.”

A low voice came from one side of the mouth.

Everyone’s eyes turned in the direction the sound came from.

the place I looked at.

“Kerner didn’t try to assassinate me.”

There, Xian was slowly rising from his seat.

Xian calmly looked around.

At the same time, complex thoughts rushed through my head.

An assassination attempt on Xian.

In fact, Kerner had tried to assassinate Xian once.

So Xian knew.

Kerner had no intention of assassinating Xian from the start.

It made no sense at first.

It didn’t make sense that Kerner ate the poisoned dumplings.

Did you accidentally eat it yourself while trying to feed Xian?

A high-class assassin made such a mistake?

Well, it could have been.

To be precise, even a top-class assassin could make a ‘mistake’.

However, there was a category that could be understood as a concept of mistake.

And Kerner’s actions did not fall under the category of mistakes.

No wonder Kerner hid the poisoned dumplings.

Deep under the lunch box.

The poisoned dumplings were separately hidden there.

That’s why Xian didn’t know.

Until Kerner revealed that Xian had such a space.

I had no idea there were dumplings there.

Maybe Leah didn’t see this scene.

It seemed that I couldn’t see it properly because I was secretly peeping at Xian.

So, I didn’t know about this.

Only Xian knew.

And Conner’s last request.

‘For the sake of me, a mere bastard.’

Kerner from the beginning.

‘Please… don’t get angry.’

He had no intention of feeding Xian poisonous dumplings.

Xian calmly raised his gaze and looked at the tightly closed treatment room.

Kerner is currently resting.

Originally, it could be said that it was poison that could not be deciphered.

If Xi’an hadn’t upgraded to ‘God’s Healer Lv.5’.

If only Ruben hadn’t had a brilliant healer named Ellie.

Above all, if it weren’t for the World Tree’s blessing ‘reduce all detrimental effects by 80%’.

If even one of these is out of order.

Kerner couldn’t be alive now.

Whoops!

Sian unknowingly clenched his fists.

All the people only looked at Xian at the wavering, trembling fist of Xian.

Kerner had no intention of harming Sian from the start.

Nevertheless, Kerner came to Xian.

Even though there is absolutely no reason to do so.

This means only one thing.

There is someone who bought Kerner behind the scenes.

And Kerner couldn’t refuse the request.

There was a reason why it had to be so.

I don’t know why Kerner couldn’t say no.

I don’t know why I had to make such an extreme choice.

But someone who bought Kerner.

It wasn’t too difficult.

A 2 million gold slip that was once in Kerner’s belongings.

and.

“Younglord. This is Grayson.”

For an instant, Grayson’s voice came from outside the clinic.

An excellent hunter and master of tracking, Grayson, who has lived in the dark forest for decades.

“A few days ago, I found traces of Kerner heading to the Marquisdom of Ellandur. It seems that Conner has visited Elandur Mansion.”

“…!”

“…!”

“…!”

Grayson’s words made everyone look surprised.

Only Xian showed no change in expression.

“And this…”

Then, Grayson handed Xian a letter.

The letter was stamped with the seal of the white wolf, which symbolizes the Ellandur family.

And even the seal of Durak additionally stamped underneath.

Xian accepted the letter Grayson handed over and examined its contents.

[The season when the cold wind recedes and warm energy rises. In the family of the Marquis of Ellandur…]

A writing that begins with a misayeogu without a use.

Xian read the contents calmly.

Right after reading the last contents of the letter like that.

“It seems that the time is approaching.”

Kwajijik-!

Xian tore up the letter.

“It was a failure…”

Isabel put down the teacup she was holding in the treasury of the commander-in-chief, Lelith.

A report that the assassination of Xi’an had failed.

However, there was something uneasy about believing soon.

It’s nothing but what it looked like at the time of commissioning.

It wasn’t what a hound would look like.

“Could it be a false performance?”

“I’ll have to investigate a bit more to find out, but… As a result of the investigation so far, the situation has been captured that the hound was killed as a result of a failed assassination.”

It was only then that Isabel nodded at Lelith’s report.

If it is a false performance, the situation in which the hound will die will not occur.

It was only because I had to deceive the outside eyes.

Even so, the hound is dead.

It was only that Xian was really angry and killed him.

And that means that.

It was that the hound carried out the assassination of Xi’an with sincerity.

“They say he’s a top-class assassin.”

Isabelle gave a snort.

Before long, Isabel took a sip from the teacup she was holding.

“What should I do.”

Isabelle lightly put down her teacup and thought for a moment.

It was quite disappointing that the assassination had failed.

But that was all.

kinda regretful.

It was nothing more, nothing less.

Isabel didn’t care about the death of a single dog.

Because it was enough to prepare for the next one.

Hounds of the underworld were widespread.

There were many people who would wag their tails and bark if you gave them money.

however.

“Leave it for now.”

Now was not the time.

Since the assassination failed, of course the vigilance was strengthened.

Apparently… Ruben itself was showing signs of division.

Young Ji-min tried to assassinate Yeong-joo.

This fact planted seeds of discord among the people of the territory.

There was a situation where they couldn’t trust each other.

As a rule, internal enemies are more dangerous than external enemies.

Although the assassination itself failed, it was a certain achievement.

So there was no need for Isabelle to act now.

From nob le mt l. co m

Just let Ruben and Xian destroy themselves.

I had to let them break down one by one.

“Leave it for now.”

Isabelle smiled with satisfaction.

Kwa Dang Tang!

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the door.

At the same time, a great commotion broke out.

-Move.

And a low voice is heard.

-If you do this, ah, no way…!

– No matter how much Gongja-nim is…!

After that, panicked voices followed.

“I’ll go check it out.”

At the commotion, Lelith moved her steps.

However, Lelith had no choice but to stop immediately.

-I definitely said Vicky.

A voice comes from just beyond the door.

– Hee-hee…!

and.

Kwak!

The door to Isabelle’s office was smashed with a loud bang.

Then, trudging through, someone walked through the smashed door.

“long time no see. mother.”

And a familiar voice was heard.

Isabel’s eyebrows twitched.
