Chapter Ninety-Three: Bloodless Blades
After the Calvin incident, Lin Qian no longer dared to underestimate anyone. Calvin, who seemed to have no power against Raymond before, could almost complete the task of destroying a team by himself, and at the critical moment, it was a woman of his age who saved him, and this woman was much stronger than Elena purely in terms of strength.
In the next two days, there were several assassinations in the city, and Lin Qian paid the price of seven eighth-level magicians for this, which made him extremely angry. However, all he could do was to remind everyone to strengthen their precautions, the magicians on the other side were obviously masters of hiding and assassination, and it was impossible for Lin Qian to find them all out.
However, what made Lin Qian a little relieved was that Boris was finally willing to show up for Kelly. Although he had escaped from the Calvin family, he did not go far, but hid in a nearby city, keeping an eye on the Calvin family's situation. When Lin Qian released the news and detained Kelly alone, Boris knew that this was to lure him to appear, and he appeared fearlessly.
"Lord, Boris is here to report!" He already knew what Kelly meant, so he followed Lin Qian without hesitation.
"There seems to be a hatred between you and me. Lin Qian reminded.
"Charles is dead, and I don't think there's any need for my vengeance. "Boris made a good excuse for himself.
"You and Kelly are both smart people, of course I have no reason to kill you for doing things for me, this is the safest way out. Lin Qian smiled and asked again, "By the way, when are you going to hold the wedding?"
"This ...... There is no hurry, and there are no conditions...... "Boris is now alone, how dare he think so much.
"I think it's tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow. I'll provide the conditions, there's a big war ahead, and I don't want you to die and be alone. Although Lin Qian's words were not very good, they still made a lot of sense.
Boris didn't understand why Lin Qian was in a hurry to hold a wedding for the two of them, but this matter was exactly what he wanted, and he immediately nodded and agreed: "Then the day after tomorrow, I'll go back and discuss with Kelly to prepare." β
"Well, I'll arrange it now. Lin Qian's appearance looked more anxious than his own marriage.
Eight magic array diagrams, Lin Qian got all of them, in fact, this thing has always been on Boris, who would have thought that he would stuff such an important thing in his clothes at will, just like the note he accidentally shook out before. These eight magic circles, from combat matchups to practical protection, to early warning functions, have corresponding magic circles, no wonder even the Calvin family is particularly eager to get them.
"Sealing the dust has been useless for hundreds of years, but these magic circles can be used the day after tomorrow. Lin Qian thought to himself.
The news of Boris and Kelly's wedding spread quickly, and Lin Qian intended to let the whole city know about it, and he announced that he would personally witness the marriage of the two newlyweds, so the news spread more quickly.
A man from another world, after only half a year, he jumped from an ordinary person to the president of the Magic Guild, founded the Higher Academy of Magic, and then sent troops to the north, destroying one of the seven major families overnight. His fame is as high as his status, and he is the object that many people want to talk to.
A few days ago, a sneak attack that was not a small scale was just quelled, and then there was a showdown with the Northern Magic Family, but at this time, Lin Qian was going to hold a grand wedding, which really made the people in Crystal City confused. Boris and Kelly, who were also "arranged" marriages for no apparent reason, were also confused and didn't know what he was thinking.
This wedding was arranged and planned by Lin Qian, except for the formal ceremony, everything else was simple, and it also saved some unnecessary trouble. Boris had no parents, and Kelly's parents didn't know about it, and there might not be any guests, but Lin Qian was ingenious, specifically stipulating that anyone could come to the wedding as long as they paid ten gold coins. Many people in the city want to spend money to attend the wedding in order to see Lin Qian up close, so there should be a lot of guests this time, and they are all upper-class people, either wealthy businessmen or officials.
I have to say that Lin Qian's means of accumulating money are really not ordinary, and in just one day, he received more than 1,000 gold coins and sent out more than 100 invitations. Then Lin Qian announced that the number of people was full, and the next day he had to enter the wedding scene with an invitation, and no one else was allowed to enter.
There were still six days left before the day of the decisive battle, and at this time the sun was shining and the sky was cloudless, it was indeed a good day to get married.
"Kelly, have you really thought it through? I don't have anything right now. Boris asked with some trepidation, expecting Kelly's affirmative answer, but equally respecting any comments Kelly makes.
"I thought about it, and without everything, it was a new beginning for us. Kelly replied softly.
"Alright, let's get out. β
Boris took Kelly in his arms and walked out of the room to greet every guest who came to the wedding. The newlyweds kept a polite smile on their faces, they were once members of a large family, and the etiquette was naturally not neglected. The guests also gave Lin Qian enough face, walked over one by one with gifts, and then gathered around Lin Qian.
"This is all for me?" Lin Qian accepted all the orders, and then secretly instructed his subordinates to give them all to the newcomers, which can be regarded as an apology.
"Apologize?" "The next person doesn't understand, what is there to apologize for?"
Lin Qian sighed in his heart, among these seemingly friendly guests, he didn't know how many deadly killers were hidden.
The wedding has entered a critical moment, and the newlyweds salute according to the rules of this world, and then they both stand together, waiting for the announcement of the witnesses. Lin Qian was about to speak on stage, and there was a round of applause from the audience, which was even warmer than the applause given to the newcomers.
"This is Boris Son, this is Miss Kelly, and they can come together today, not by a simple marriage contract. There have been many setbacks and many times of despair, but the two of them still like each other, even if they have no family, no property, no status. Therefore, although there are still many people in this world whose marriages have fallen victim to politics, I still hope that when you see them together, you can believe in the existence of love. β
The audience burst into applause at the right time, and then the applause stopped, waiting for Lin Qian to continue speaking.
"To be honest, I am not qualified to be a witness to this marriage, not only because of my relationship with the two families. I'm not only going to give the two of them a wedding today, but also to the other group of people β a funeral. Lin Qian's words were inexplicable, which made the guests present slightly stunned, and they forgot to applaud.
"If you are careful, you will find that in fact, this wedding scene is in a magic circle, and I haven't activated this magic circle yet, because I don't want to spoil this beautiful atmosphere now. Lin Qian continued his speech, and the audience was already silent.
"I've been preparing for this wedding since the day before yesterday, but it doesn't have to take a day to prepare, as you can see, the scene is very well decorated, and it can be arranged in an hour. Why did I leave a day to prepare? Because this day, I am not reserved for myself, butβfor you, those who want to use the wedding scene to assassinate me, have plenty of time to prepare. I think you're all here, right?" Lin Qian smiled and looked at the guests in the audience, several people's small movements had been caught by Lin Qian, but he still continued his speech.
"Whatever your intentions, you are the well-wishers of this wedding and the witnesses of the two couples, so I don't want to do anything with you, and I don't want to see blood at this wedding. If you have to do it, wait a minute, and I'll ask the two newcomers to go back to the room first. Lin Qian said and personally sent Boris and Kelly away, both of them looked a little ugly, anyway, this was their only once in a lifetime wedding.
"I'm sorry, I really don't want to do this, but I want to think about the safety of my men. Lin Qian whispered apologetically, he didn't want the city to be full of assassins.
"I understand, don't forget that I used to be in a similar position and do similar things. Boris nodded, he had done more odious things for the good of the family.
"Just understand, I'll clean up and come back to drink your wine. β
Turning around, Lin Qian waved his hand to the guests in the audience, signaling that they could disperse when they were full.
These guests were not stupid, knowing that many of them had come to kill Lin Qian, they hurriedly ran away before they could fight, leaving behind a group of cold-faced magicians.
"Hmm, why don't you leave?" Lin Qian smiled, "Do you really want to leave here? Do you particularly regret coming to this wedding scene? Do you especially hate me, the person who uses a friend's wedding as a trap?"
The group of people were flushed, and they didn't know if they were told that they were in their hearts or if they had drunk too much wine, and at this time they sat in place without saying a word, staring at Lin Qian with their eyes.
Lin Qian walked off the stage slowly, poured a glass of wine, and then picked up the wine glass and said: "Although wine is good wine, drinking too much will hurt people, especially since there is a magic grass specially for magicians added to it, so it's no wonder that you can't speak or move." And you're in a special kind of magic circle, which has a strange name called the Magic Attraction Circle, which can prompt all magic items to take effect quickly. A scroll, when it reaches this magic array, will also instantly release the energy inside, not to mention the magic grass that has already been drunk by you. β
Lin Qian raised his neck and drank the glass of wine, the effect of the magic grass in the wine had all been triggered, and the wine was safe at this time.
"As I said, I don't want to see bloodshed at this wedding, so your life is safe for the time being, but I can't give you personal freedom. Come on, knock them all out and put them in a magical prison!"
