"Light?" Looking at the ashes on the bed, Leo had a puzzled look on his face, and he didn't quite understand the clues given by the female corpse.

However, after Frank Forson on the side heard the clues given by the female corpse and saw the moment when the female corpse finally turned into ashes, he seemed to have thought of something, and his face immediately turned gloomy.

"Director Fussen, did you discover something?" At this time, Leo also noticed something was wrong with Frank Fussen's expression and asked.

Frank Forson asked confirmingly: "You mentioned before that when the murderer attacked Pasa Kakulan, he used a power hidden in the dark, similar to a clone, right?"

"Yes." Leo nodded.

"I think I know who killed Pasa Kakulan and was preparing to assassinate General Hansen." Frank Forson frowned and said, "I think there may be trouble this time."

Leo still didn't quite understand why Frank Forson became so nervous, so he asked: "Can you explain it in more detail?"

Frank Forson was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Leo, have you ever heard of the ancient tribe of Moissan Continent?"

"Ancient tribe?" Leo thought for a moment and said, "Are you talking about the disappeared origin tribe?"

"Yes, that's it." Frank Forson nodded, then hesitated and said, "Actually, the disappearance of the ancient tribe was what General Hoover Hanson did back then."

With that said, he told Leo the complete story.

The mosang mainland tribe, known as the ancient tribe, is actually academically called the origin tribe. From its name, it is enough to understand that this tribe claims to be the origin of the mosang continent tribe. In fact, it is almost the same, except that

Except for a few tribes who believe that they have other origins, most of the other tribes believe that their tribes are derived from ancient tribes.

Because of this, the ancient tribe has a very special status among the various tribes in the Moissan continent, and the ancient tribe often uses their special status and reputation to interfere in the affairs of other tribes, and even directly influence the selection of chiefs of other tribes.

Therefore, the relationship between the Ancient Clan and the various tribes in the Moissan Continent is not very harmonious. However, due to the special status of the Ancient Clan or some other unknown reasons, each tribe can only suppress their dissatisfaction with the Ancient Clan in their hearts.

At that time, the colonies of various countries in the Mozang continent began to experience turmoil, and various uprisings emerged one after another. In addition to the new Mozang uprisings composed of the descendants of criminals, serfs, and debtors from various countries, nationalist trends broke out among various tribes.

The tribal nation-building uprising was the most powerful of the various uprisings at that time.

It's just that those tribes have never had a national concept, their internal structure is scattered, and there is no cohesion. In addition, some of them have feuds with each other, so they can only do their own thing. Even though the tribal uprising is huge, there has never been a successful example. They usually just start the uprising.

It was not long before they were wiped out by the colonial army.

Each tribe felt that if this situation continued, the situation would get worse, so they decided to try to unite the tribes. Naturally, the ancient tribe became the best target in their minds to unite the tribes.

As a result, each tribe elected the ancient tribe as a leader, and gathered around the ancient tribe. They followed the rules and forms set by the ancient tribe and organized internal government affairs. In a short period of time, the power of the tribe increased several times, and the colonial army's

The battle changed from passive attack to active attack. It was at this time that the Kingdom of Maris's colony on the Mosang Continent was completely lost.

However, after seizing a large number of colonial territories, the ancient tribe, which should have continued to expand their victory, stopped pursuing and completely eliminated all the colonies at this time. Instead, they chose to stop the attack and digest the results.

The reason why the tribes made such a wrong strategic decision is not only because each tribe is extremely coveted for the expanded territory, hoping to immediately divide the spoils obtained to supplement the consumption of the war, but at the same time, the ancient tribes, who are regarded as spiritual symbols, also began to

They are no longer willing to be used as a mascot to unite tribes, but want to seize higher rights so that after the country is established, they can obtain the same transcendent status as the royal family in other countries.

During this period, the ancient tribe used various means to seize the rights of each tribe in this alliance, embezzled the tribe's victory, expanded its own power, and also deliberately attracted the young and strong factions of other tribes to influence the current power of each tribe.

The old people launched an attack.

If there are no other accidents, the ancient tribe might really be able to take back the rights of all the tribes, and unprecedentedly agree to all the tribes on the Mosan continent, drive the colonists out of the Mosan continent, and build a never-before-seen Mosan Empire, becoming

The highest power controller in the entire Moissanite continent.

It's a pity that the Ancient Clan was too hasty and their methods were directly cruel, so that all tribes were extremely dissatisfied with the Ancient Clan, and some tribes that were hostile to the Ancient Clan also began to consider dealing with the Ancient Clan.

However, because they promoted the identity of the ancient tribe too much in the early stage for the sake of tribal cohesion, so much so that if they want to deal with the ancient tribe now, they are probably unable to do so due to the identity they publicized, which makes them have to look for external forces to solve the problem.

This trouble.

At that time, the colonial army became the best external force, so several tribes that had enmity with the ancient tribes jointly sent out to try to practice the colonial army and express their idea of ​​​​cooperating to eliminate the ancient tribes.

The colonial coalition forces at that time initially thought that this was a trap set by the tribes, but they soon found out through investigation that the intentions of the other tribes were not yet clear to them, but they discovered that the tribes that sent the envoys really wanted to get rid of the ancient tribes.

The colonial army feels that this is an opportunity, because if the ancient tribe is solved, then even if each tribe occupies a lot of territory, the interior will become a piece of scattered sand. For the colonial army, tribes without cohesion are very easy to deal with.

In time, we can slowly eliminate these tribes.

As a result, the two hit it off, and the colonial army formed a joint elite team. Under the guidance of the tribe's internal intelligence, they laid out a deadly trap against the ancient tribe. The person who led this team was Hoover Mosan.

The ancient people have the custom of worshiping their ancestors. At a fixed time every year, they will return to their ancestral land to worship their ancestors. This time they are no exception. The only difference is that they are different from the past. Instead of setting up warning points around the perimeter, they

Its defense work was handed over to other tribes it considered loyal.

No one knows what happened during the ancestor worship, except for the elite team that executed the characters at that time. The only thing that is known is that the volcano where the ancestor was worshiped suddenly erupted and swallowed up all the ancient people on the mountain.

The entire family was exterminated, and only a few people from the team who performed the mission returned to the military camp alive, and Hoover Hansen was one of them.

Although the colonial army later asked what happened on the sacred mountain where the ancient people worshiped their ancestors, Hoover Hansen and other survivors said nothing.

Because the ancient tribe died in a volcanic eruption, the tribes who had originally planned to use the colonial army to massacre the ancient tribe as an excuse to unite various tribes and retaliate against the colonial army fell through.

As expected, civil strife soon broke out. The tribes began to fight each other due to the previous distribution of spoils and territory ownership. From small tribes to large tribes, all were involved without exception. The tribal alliance was almost in name only.

This was within the expectations of the colonial army. As long as they waited for the right time and attacked with all their strength, they could solve the tribal uprising that almost completely destroyed the colonial army.

However, before they could take action, another force had already found the opportunity. As a result, the ultimate beneficiary of the genocide of the ancient tribe was neither the tribe nor the colonial army, but the New Mosan people who were underestimated by both sides.

The New Mozang people, who were always conserving strength, suddenly emerged. First, they defeated the main force of the colonial coalition at that time with thunderous momentum. Then, several major colonial cities all revolted and broke away from the control of various countries, including some very important supply port cities.

After withstanding several counterattacks by the colonial armies and navies of other kingdoms, and defeating the armies of various countries, war fatigue has arisen within each country. Finally, as the French Empire began to abandon its colonies, all countries also gave up their colonies, while the Kingdom of England

It was the last country to give up its colonies.

After solving the colonial army, the civil strife among the tribes still did not subside. In dealing with the tribes, the New Mozang people did not completely suppress them. They chose to win over some tribes who had good relations with them and went all out to attack those tribes that hated the colonists.

Completely drove those tribes back into the wilderness.

In the end, the New Mozang people became the dominant force in the colony, and several of their affiliated armies each occupied a place and formed a country, forming several major countries in the Mozang continent such as the United States and Canada. Those who were replaced by the New Mozang people

The tribes that were won over united together to form the current Kingdom of Panir.

"I can understand that Hoover Hansen and the ancient tribe are enemies. After all, the annihilation of the ancient tribe must be related to Hoover Hansen's team." When Leo heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "But, you are

How do you know that the person who wants to assassinate Hoover Hansen is a member of the ancient tribe? You must know that countless tribesmen died at the hands of Hoover Hansen."

"Because of light and shadow." Frank Forson explained carefully.

It turns out that there are some extremely special people in the ancient tribe. These people are considered to have the purest ancestral blood. According to legend, the ancestors of the ancient tribe are great beings who control light and darkness. Even the gods in the world of Velen cannot match them.

, so every tribesman who awakens the blood of their ancestors is born with the ability to master a part of the power of light and darkness.

The reason why the ancient tribes were able to gain a firm foothold in the tribal alliance and gradually control the rights within the tribal alliance, forcing each tribe to collude with the colonial army, relied not only on the identity of their tribal origins, but also on their ethnic group.

The power of those who have awakened to the blood of their ancestors is awe-inspiring even for the shamans of various tribes.

According to Frank Forson's explanation, Leo knew that this was not the first time Hoover Hansen had been assassinated by an ancient remnant. Hoover Hansen had suffered an assassination a few years ago. In that assassination

The assassin almost succeeded, but fortunately, Hoover Hansen's guards fought tooth and nail to protect him, and the Special Bureau's timely support prevented the assassination from failing.

At that time, Frank Forson was the one who felt the fastest on-site support. At that time, he saw how the assassin used light to create illusions and how to use shadow to move quickly. Fortunately, he had the ability to distinguish the enemy without using his eyes, so he could

Injure the ancient tribesman in time and bring Hoover Hansen down.

Although the light that burned the female corpse to ashes just now was different from the use of light he had seen from the ancient tribesmen back then, the two gave him the same feeling.

"What are you going to do now?" Leo could feel Frank Forson's nervousness. Being able to make such a powerful person feel nervous showed that the ancient people's power left a very deep impression on him.

"Now that the ancient people have appeared, the assassination has become different. Regardless of whether General Hansen agrees to cancel the museum opening ceremony, I must send some people to strengthen his guard, and I must stay by his side to prevent

What happened?" Frank Forson stated his decision, and then said to Leo seriously: "Mr. Leo, I don't know if you still regard this matter as an unimportant matter.

But I still hope you can take this matter seriously, because if General Hansen really dies in public in public in the revenge assassination of the ancient tribesmen, then the war in Mozang Continent will probably resume, and the current peace in the kingdom will no longer exist.

.”

"Well, I will think about it." Leo did not give Frank Forson a definite answer, but then he seemed to have caught a loophole in the painting and suddenly asked: "You just seemed to be saying that if you assassinate Hu Hu in public,

Hoover Hansen will cause a lot of trouble, so that means that as long as it is not in public, Hoover Hansen's life and death will not have such a big impact, right?"

"I didn't say it, this is your own understanding." Seeing Leo misrepresenting his meaning, Frank Fussen glared at Leo with some annoyance, then turned around and walked out of the room, quickly walked downstairs, and boarded the

He got on the waiting carriage, gave instructions to the driver, and drove towards the naval headquarters of Dulin.

Obviously, the appearance of the ancient assassins made Frank Forson become more nervous about this case. He immediately felt that protecting Hoover Hansen at the Navy Headquarters became the most important thing for him to do now.

Leo, who stayed at the murder scene, did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked back to the attic on the third floor, stood by the window and carefully looked at the traces around him, with a solemn expression on his face.
