Joshua believed in number three's guess.

Miss AI would not have said such words as "doubt", "possibility" and "maybe". In her logic, the process of being in the ambiguous middle state is very few, but because she has been in contact with human beings for a long time, No. 3 has learned to use these words, but this does not mean that the essence of her logic will change.

Her suspicions and conjectures are in fact 100% certain. Euphemisms can't change the facts.

"Dead."

Joshua turned his head. He looked to the west of the main city of Moldavia. His eyes were fixed on the residence where Alfonso Carlos lived: "it's been two years."

It has been two years since he came across the world. In the past two years, he has changed a lot of things and the fate of many people. Although Joshua did not deliberately protect or guard anything, few people died for no reason, or even almost none. Alfonso may be the first one.

Two years is not a long time. The soldier still remembers the middle-aged businessman who sent out a kind reminder to him on the winter day when the first snow fell. Alfonso has good quality, ambition, courage, resolute determination and excellent verbal skills. He is in charge of his own industry, and Joshua is very relieved. The soldier can see that this man believes in contract and responsibility, and it is impossible to betray him, so the power entrusted to Alfonso is also increasing.

But he died. Maybe that's why I died.

No one will go against, deliberately murder an ordinary businessman, and hide his death. Without a brain, even if Joshua thought with his knees, he could know that the person behind the plot must have done it for the Radcliffe family, that is, for him.

"More than a week ago, I was in the holy mountain, and his majesty Israel just left."

Looking at the crowded street, Joshua's voice was quiet and could not hear any emotion: "master Nostradamus was studying the black blood plague with the imperial mages at the school of management in lindongbao, and the power of the Kaos family was dispersed with Brandon's journey to Moldova. Indeed, in the eyes of some people, this is probably the most appropriate time for me to cut off my arm when my power is declining. "

3 No. 1 didn't speak. The keen AI could see that Joshua's body was really lifeless. Her heart beat slowly and steadily, her breath was calm and powerful, her blood could flow with surging life in her blood vessels, and all the physical signs of the soldier were so normal that she felt fear.

"Alfonso is just an ordinary human. His strength is so weak that it can be ignored. Killing him will not leave too many traces. Most clues will be naturally broken if he conceals for a period of time through forged reports and communications." Without noticing No. 3's expression, Joshua whispered to himself, "but why? Why would someone target me? "

His tone was low, and a heavy sense of doubt reverberated in the air.

And the panic from the soul, instinct, is spreading deep in the soul of artificial intelligence.

3 No. 1 feels invisible. Her undetectable energy is interfering with the magic projection, making her body begin to fluctuate and twist like a picture in the water.

This is just caused by the spiritual fluctuation of Joshua's instinct. A trace of his anger unconsciously stirred the invisible elements and magic in the atmosphere, and even activated their activity, which gradually increased the temperature of the top of the tower of the Lord's mansion, and even produced a magic flash like the aurora.

When the magic projection of No.3 was about to dissipate, Joshua turned his head and noticed this situation. He immediately extended his hand to help AI stabilize his body. The element's agitation is smoothed, and Joshua calms down, making the surrounding images disappear. He laughs apologetically. After stabilizing his figure, No. 3 calmly answers the question and says, "Joshua, there are a lot of people targeting you all the time."

She didn't mind the little accident. Instead, she floated in front of the soldiers and said one reason after another: "the radcliffs are one of the exclusive ore suppliers of the five legions directly under the emperor, occupying a large part of the interest cake. It's not surprising that other ore merchants are targeting you. This is one of them. Second, your family's industry is gradually transforming, ready to take over the whole production chain, and the old merchants related to weapons and armor also see Radcliffe family as a thorn in the side. "

The next reason is mostly about interests. After hearing this, Joshua was not surprised. Every nobleman and businessman had countless natural competitors, that is, the so-called enemies. Before the Empire became bigger, everyone's share was fixed. Only by seizing others, could he grow stronger.

The same is true of his industry. Before that, soldiers and Alfonso were snatching the market share of the old weapon merchants, which certainly caused the dissatisfaction of most people. As long as Alfonso's death, Radcliffe's industry into chaos, there will be other people to replace the sword hand in the market share.During the period from Alfonso's death to his discovery, many shares may have been taken away under the control of the other party. The more he drags back, the greater the loss will be.

In addition to interests, No. 3 also gave several political reasons.

The conflicts between royalty and aristocracy, the conflicts between common mages and aristocratic colleges, the conflicts between local aristocrats and foreign aristocrats in the imperial capital, the conflicts between northern and southern aristocrats, the conflicts between new aristocrats and old aristocrats, the conflicts between military aristocrats and traditional aristocrats, and the disputes between commercial aristocrats... In the Nordic Empire, there are numerous different factions competing with each other in every field, For example, there are those who are close to the royal family, those who are close to the church, those who have a tacit understanding with the Royal mage Association, and those who are wholeheartedly serving as the local emperor.

People are so changeable. Because of the growth of princes and princesses, many factions began to split up. They secretly supported different princes. This is also a big faction.

"The Radcliffe family has attracted the attention of the whole Empire because of your activity. Of course, it can make us gain great fame and also be targeted. Joshua, don't underestimate your own reputation. Mr. Carlos may even be assassinated by other subordinates in order to get your attention. It's not impossible. "

3 As he spoke, he floated to the side of the soldier, while Joshua stretched out his left hand to let the other party's petite body sit on his arm. He turned his head and looked at the AI lady, frowning: "has it come to this point?"

"To this point, of course." No. 3 shook his head slightly and sighed: "how many strong people are there in the Empire? How many people are there in the whole continent? As the youngest and most powerful person in history, you are bound to become a legend in the future. Many people will not dare to offend you because of this, but there are still a small number of brave people who want to try your water

"In the eyes of those people, it may be just a small trial. It doesn't matter to assassinate one, It can be said that the managers dispatched to the imperial capital are indifferent to a big noble family with a strong will, which will not cause too much revenge, but also can see clearly the strength and reaction of you and your family behind you, so that they can plan their next action. "

"Next step?"

Hear 3 say this sentence, Qiao Xiuya can't help but sneer, as if heard what big joke: "won't cause too big revenge?"

He did not continue to say, but coldly looked at the direction of the emperor, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

——Of course not. There will never be a next step.

Hearing the soldier talking to himself, the AI sitting on the other side's arm blinked and then laughed silently.

——Those people don't know you, they think you are an ordinary nobleman, an ordinary soldier, an ordinary person who can be tested, guessed and pondered.

They are wrong. No. 3 thought so, and she watched the light in Joshua's eyes gradually light up and become burning bright. No. 3 knows that this is the performance that the soldier begins to take seriously. His anger is burning in his heart, accumulating strength.

For the first time in the heart of artificial intelligence, there is a trace of pity for those who still don't know who the enemy is. It is pity for those who will die of ignorance, arrogance and arrogance.

——They never know what they're provoking
