Assassin's Chronicle - Chapter 231

Chapter 231
After checking every dead body on the ground, Urter slowly walked back to Anfey . "Master, the wounds on each body were the same . They must have been killed by the same person . Hmm…Marquis Djoser!" Urter turned to look at Marquis Djoser . "If you do not have anything urgent, I would like you to go to the police station with me . I know you are not in the best mood right now and probably need to get some rest . I hope you can understand this is our procedure . I need to keep records . "


Marquis Djoser lowered his head and went quietly . Without knowing how long had passed, he lifted up his head again . He did not look as sullen as before . He even had an apologetic smile on his face . "Master Anfey, I am so sorry . I am getting old and my eyes are not as good as they used to be . Yesterday when that assassin came in, he knocked out the only candlestick in the study . I… I will ask punishment from the king myself . It was my fault for this whole misunderstanding . "
No matter whether his excuses were reasonable, Marquis Djoser did apologize in front of everyone . Anfey and Urter looked at each other without saying anything . Miorich had more right than they did to pass judgement in this situation .
Unexpectedly, Miorich was really direct . In other words, Marquis Djoser was not important enough for Miorich to hide his true feelings toward him . Miorich walked up to Snefuru’s body . He looked at it for a little while and sighed . He waved his hand . Two knights hurried over and lifted Snefuru’s stretcher .
"Take Snefuru to the camp . I will host a funeral for him . " Miorich glanced at Marquis Djoser and snorted at him . He turned around to walk to the garrison residence . He did not know if Anfey had killed those people, but he knew Marquis Djoser killed Snefuru . Snefuru had followed Miorich for the past twenty years . He was neither a capable person, nor very flexible and smart . He had been a lower level official, but they did build a strong bond between them . Miorich wanted to kill Marquis Djoser right then and there . How could he show forgiveness to the marquis?
Marquis Djoser did not seem to hear Miorich’s snort . He still had a smile on his face . He turned around and slowly walked to the gate of the garrison residence . His movement looked a little stiff .
"Stop! Do you want to leave like this?" Niya yelled . Niya would argue with people when she did not have any reason to argue . It was easy to imagine how she would act when Anfey was set up by others . She did not think Marquis Djoser was important . She was rude to Marquis Djoser and also showed disdain toward him .
Marquis Djoser paused for a second and then continued to walk to the gate . His followers carried the wounded ones out of the garrison residence . They followed after Marquis Djoser and left dead bodies on the floor .
"You, stop!" Niya was getting really mad . She jumped off the steps and was about to run after Marquis Djoser .
"Niya!" Anfey and Christian yelled at the same time .
"Huh?" Niya said .
"It’s okay, Niya . " Anfey shook his head .
Suzanna also jumped off the steps . She grabbed Niya’s hand and said quietly, "Go back, Niya . He is a marquis of the empire . Don’t’ make troubles . "
"What about the marquis? A marquis could set others up?" Niya was not happy about Marquis Djoser .
"Have you seen Anfey being taken advantage of before?" Suzanna smiled .
"Right, he has a devious side to him . " Niya looked like she just realized it .
Niya was mad . The patrolmen came in and glanced at Urter for instructions . Urter had asked Marquis Djoser to go to the police station, but Marquis Djoser was walking out now . Obviously, he did not take Urter seriously . It made the patrolmen angry .
Urter shook his head slightly . He was only giving Marquis Djoser a hard time before . If Marquis Djoser did not want to cooperate with him, he could not do anything to him unless there were secret orders from Sacred City .
"Let’s go back . " Anfey stared at Marquis Djoser’s back . He knew this was not over yet . According to his previous way of taking care of business, he would not have allowed Marquis Djoser to go back to his residence . . Unfortunately, he would have to adjust his rules as situations changed . He could not do anything to Marquis Djoser in public .
Miorich walked into the living room and looked like he was deep in thought . He paced back and forth and looked at Anfey like he had something to say . However, he did not say anything .
Riska and others had gone back to their dorms to pack up . The captain and two assistant captains from the bodyguard squad looked guilty . They timidly walked in .
Every military unit had their own characteristics . These characteristics were decided by their generals . Miorich was not as strict as Baery . He did not pay too much attention to details . He had made a big mistake in not controlling the subordinate knights . Those three captains prepared for the worst as they walked into the living room .


"You guys need to leave now," Miorich said peacefully .
"General?" Those three captains did not believe what they heard .
The three captains looked at each other excitedly as they received amnesty . They bowed and retreated from the living room .

"Uncle Miorich, it should not be this easy," Anfey reminded Miorich in a low voice . "The Marquis Djoser and his companions should not have the ability to stir up the bodyguard squad . "
"I know . " Miorich nodded . "That is why I am putting this issue away for right now . "
"I got it . " Anfey smiled . He knew Miorich was pretending to let this issue go, but he actually would secretly continue the case later . He would secretly figure out who was helping Marquis Djoser within the bodyguard squad .
Miorich looked cold . Anfey’s vision was more short-term than Miorich’s . Miorich’s thinking was a lot more sophisticated . His bodyguards were the best of the best . They were trained to be future generals . They had been tested on their loyalty and fighting ability . They had passed those tests, otherwise they would not have been qualified to join the bodyguard squad . What happened today posed threats to Miorich . Marquis Djoser was a fallen marquis . How could he have the influence to control a bodyguard squad? There must be someone behind the marquis .
There was a difference in perspective between Anfey and Miorich . Anfey thought he had made an enemy of Marquis Djoser . He also thought Marquis Djoser wanted to target him to take revenge . Miorich had more sophisticated ideas .
"Anfey, did you use the fighting skills that old man in your village taught you?" Miorich suddenly switched the topic .
"Yes," Anfey said .


"He might be the most powerful swordsman in this world . Unfortunately, I could not see his skills in person," Miorich said .
"He used to say, "No matter how good you think you are, there is always someone out there that is better," Anfey said .
"What do you mean?" Miorich said .
"He thought only a fool would think he was the best . He believe when a person reached a certain level, he usually could see many more powerful people . It was similar to the endless sky and endless sword skills," Anfey said .
"Sword skills?" Miorich was in thought for a while and then smiled smile . "Anfey, can you come and help train the knights in my Palace Guards?"
"Uncle Miorich, my sword skills are not very good for soldiers to practice . " Anfey shook his head with a smile . "Of course, I will do it for you if you think it definitely would help those soldiers . "
"Why do you think it would not help them?" Miorich asked .
"The victory in a war mainly depends on which party was braver . Sword skills are not like that . " In fact, Panshan spears were used for the soldiers to fight in war . However, no matter whether it was from his family rules or from his own point of view, he would not teach others Panshan spear skills . Anfey could only play stupid right now .
Miorich gave it a little bit of thought and sighed . "It is unfortunate that would not work . Anfey . why did he not teach you combat power?"
"Maybe because I was too young back then," Anfey said .
"Has anyone taught you combat power?" Miorich asked in surprise .
Anfey tried to recall, but he shook his head . "No, no one taught me . "
"Did Ernest teach you combat power?" Miorich asked .
"I think Anfey does not have to learn combat power," Suzanna suddenly said .
"Why not?" Miorich turned to look at Suzanna .
"Because there is a mysterious power inside Anfey," Suzanna said .
"How do you know?" Christian asked .
"I…" Suzanna blushed . She just felt that way, but could not give specific reasons . She had hung out with Anfey for so long . She could clearly feel Anfey was different than regular swordsmen . When swordsmen attacked their enemies or protected themselves, they had to perform combat power . No matter what Anfey was doing, even eating or sleeping, he was in an abnormal state . No matter how powerful a swordsman was, he could not use combat power all day and night .
"What is that call? Samadhi? Anfey, did you get that mysterious power by doing Samadhi?" Miorich asked .
"Yes," Anfey said .
"You have so many mysteries," Miorich said bitterly . He had sat the whole previous night as Niya had shown him how to do Samadhi . He did not feel anything . He wanted to ask Anfey about it but also felt awkward doing so . He had such a strong desire for power that he could not control his curiosity about Anfey’s power . He was in such a dilemma .
Anfey shrugged and smiled without saying anything . He planned to play stupid .
