Miss Ship Officer had been listening quietly. When she saw his eyes falling on her, she understood that the other party meant to question her. She thought about it for a while, combined with the information she had received before, and analyzed it: "About Ista

I don’t know much about Nia, but there were some rumors ten years ago..."

"But regarding this matter, Captain, you might as well change your mind."

"Change your thinking?"

Sylvide glanced at Abed who was standing aside, smiled and replied: "Investigating the nobles found nothing, and trying to understand the wandering alchemist has no way to start, but there is actually a third party in this incident - that is, the person who was

The attacker herself, the biological mother of Rupert and Princess Afifah, and Her Royal Highness the Princess of Babartan, King of the Sand."

"ah?"

When Tian Lan heard this, she couldn't help but blurted out.

Fang Yu didn't turn around for a moment. Wasn't the princess herself killed in that attack? Was it due to the use of necromancy? But he shook his head. More than ten years have passed since the attack.

, no amount of necromancy can do this.

Among all the people, only Jita reacted and said: "Sister Sylvide's method is good."

Behind her, Luo Hao didn't respond, and just asked: "I haven't figured out what the connection is. Jita, can you tell me?"

"The truth is actually very simple," Jita's voice was thin and very quiet: "Brother Ed has actually mentioned before that attackers will not act without purpose. Most of the princes and nobles planned this attack out of revenge.

Purpose, but what is the purpose of the Wandering Alchemist?”

"Yes," Tian Lan asked, "But isn't it because we can't find those wandering alchemists?"

"I understand," Luo Hao shook his head: "The purpose of a person's actions can be divided into several types, but it is nothing more than long-term interests or to achieve short-term goals. For nobles, creating panic and creating a

The unfavorable atmosphere for King Babartan of the Sand to succeed to the throne is obviously driven by long-term interests. The short-term goals are simple revenge or demonstrations."

Hearing this, Fang Plover also understood.

For those wandering alchemists, the other party disappeared without a trace after the attack, and even indirectly betrayed the collaborators of the princes and nobles in this plan. Obviously, these people did not exist in Istania

What long-term benefits are there?

If there is no long-term benefit, it must be done for short-term purposes.

So what is the short-term purpose?

It's definitely not for revenge or demonstration.

Because there was no interaction between the wandering alchemist and the Penelope royal family before, and there was no grudge - or was he fighting back for the suppressed slave trade? But this possibility is not high, according to Ai

Judging from Ms. Meiya's oracle, the teachings of the 'blind followers' only gradually emerged in this decade.

Before that, there was not much overlap between the two.

Then the reason is not these two points, and there are not many possibilities left.

Perhaps the Sand King Babartan himself has some connection with the wandering alchemist, and the other party would target the princess. But if this is the case, there is no need for the Sand King Babartan to pretend to be confused and waste all his investigation.

Ten years have passed, but nothing has been achieved.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there may be deeper reasons for this.

However, in this kind of inference, we still have to follow the principle of Om's razor. If it is not necessary, do not establish an entity.

So after excluding this point, the most likely reason left is that the princess herself has some connection with the wandering alchemist. So, the other party did not hesitate to risk angering the royal family of Istania, but also

We must implement the plan to kill this princess.

Of course, this statement may be somewhat detrimental to the princess herself, so when Fang Yu thought of this, he couldn't help but glance at Abed. Her Highness the Princess entrusted them to find the real murderer.

The biological mother is also involved, what will the other party think?

But the other party seemed to understand their considerations. Abed was silent for a moment before replying:

"As long as the investigation is conducted in private, what Her Royal Highness the Princess needs is the truth."

When Fang Yu heard this answer, he roughly understood what the other party meant.

On the one hand, the princess has been dead for many years, so it is of course impossible to find clues from her. However, as the wife of Babartan, the King of Sand, it is unlikely that she is a commoner girl who came from a lonely background. She must also be from Yis.

He is from Tania's noble family and comes from a prominent family.

The other party is no longer alive, but it has only been ten years since the attack. There should still be many relatives, friends and family members before her who are still alive. There should still be many ways to learn about the details of this princess's life before she entered the royal family.

, if a person has a secret——

It is very likely that details will be left behind in daily life.

Thinking of this, Fang Plov couldn't help but glance at Sylvester.

Although he has long understood that his ship officer lady has a unique vision, at this time, he still feels lucky - having such a lady by his side sometimes saves him too much trouble.

And Abed answered the first question, and the answer to the second question is actually self-evident. It involves the secrets of the royal family, and even within the Penelope royal family, not many people know this.

Coupled with the need for confidentiality, Her Royal Highness the Princess naturally does not have many people she can rely on in this matter.

As the only people related to the wandering alchemist, they were the chosen ones, and it was the first time they arrived in Istania. They were outsiders who had nothing to do with the local aristocratic system, so they naturally came into the opponent's sight easily.

Fang Yu also thought of another possibility, that is, Her Royal Highness the Princess should have learned about their battle with the Dragon Worshipers from her sister. They were also facing cultists, so the other party naturally believed that they still had such abilities.

With such considerations in mind, the team finally reached the bottom of the cellar.
