Chapter 229: The Plan Fails
The depressed Chancellor of the Exchequer came home and sat in his room and was angry, he wasted 500 gold coins in vain, not to mention, and made the king unhappy, but he couldn't go to the person who provided the information to make trouble, after all, they were people in the palace, and even if they were held responsible, it was His Majesty's business.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?" a female elf obediently held a pot of tea and poured a cup of tea herself.
Seeing the beautiful elf girl, the Chancellor of the Exchequer was in a slightly better mood: "I thought of giving you to the king, but I didn't expect him to appreciate it at all. That's fine, if I send you out, I can't bear it. After saying that, he touched it with a pair of big hands dishonestly, and the two little eyes were squeezed into a slit because of the blooming of the smile, and he didn't know what he could see.
The female elf frowned slightly, and when she saw the Chancellor's anxious eyes, she felt a burst of disgust in her heart, and quietly glanced at the other female elf outside the door, and then a tender hand quietly hooked the back of the Chancellor's neck.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer is a slave girl who likes to be obedient and sensible, and was about to take it further, when he suddenly saw the cold eyes of the female elf, and suddenly felt bad in his heart.
"You ......" His eyes widened for the first time since birth, but he couldn't make any sound in his throat.
The elf withdrew her palm, and on the fat on the back of her neck that she had just touched, a faint wound was oozing blood. Another female elf walked in, her fingers slashing at the wound, her skin restored to its original state, and even the wisp of blood disappeared without a trace.
"Our identities may have been exposed, this dead fat man is the Chancellor of the Exchequer after all, and we rushed back to restore our lives, and we can be regarded as having an explanation. We didn't kill the king, but we can go back safely, and I don't think the leader will mind. The two elves disappeared from the room, leaving the Chancellor's body lying on the bed with his eyes wide open.
Outside the gate of the mansion, two family members stopped Claude: "Old gentleman, my lord is in a bad mood today, and I don't see anyone." ”
"I'm here for business, not to talk to your family. Claude waved his hand lightly, and the two family members gave way to a passage in exclamation.
There were many servants and maids in the courtyard, but under Claude's magic, he encountered no real obstacles, and made his way through the two courtyard walls to the chancellor's bedroom.
"Why aren't there any people here?" Claude wondered, slowly pushed open the door and walked in, and saw a body lying on the bed outside the door, motionless.
Claude sighed: "The old man is still late." He walked in silently, his hand on the Chancellor's head, his eyes blazing with a burning gaze.
"The strength of the other party is not weak, all the internal organs have been shattered by a burst of energy, but there are no wounds in sight, what a ruthless method!" Claude gently closed his eyes for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, walked to the table, and saw a cup of tea that had not yet been drunk.
Claude cautiously stretched his finger over, tested the temperature of the water, and was startled, hurried out of the room and flew in the direction of the palace.
It's daytime, and the streets are full of people, and even if you try to hide your body, it's easy to spot or accidentally bump into it. The two elves had no choice but to wrap themselves tightly and follow the crowd towards the city gates, and as soon as they left the city, no one could find them again.
The two guards guarding the gate casually looked at the passers-by, and they would come to check if they were unpleasant, but more often they were to check the people who entered the city, and they generally did not check when they went out of the city. At that moment, a magician came down from the gate and gave a second word to the guards. The two guards immediately changed their countenance, drove back the crowd, closed half of the gates, and began to check the people who had left the city one by one, paying no attention to those who entered the city. From the gates, another group of guards came down and joined the ranks.
"Shall we go back?" asked one of the elves.
"We've already reached the city gate, and if we go back against the crowd now, it will be suspicious, so let's try to see if we can fool the way through, but we can't do it...... I had no choice but to break through. ”
There were already a few guards staring at the two of them at this time, because it was rare to see people wrapped so tightly this season.
"Lift your hat!" roared the guard rudely.
"I ...... I have a wind fever, and I can't see the cold. The elf replied weakly.
"Contagious ......," the other female elf hurriedly added.
This sentence immediately exploded in the crowd, and everyone avoided it, and the whole crowd was in chaos. The two elves were about to walk over, but they immediately heard an order: "Stop!"
The voice came from the same magician just now, who had been staring at the two men from the beginning, as if he had found something.
"Why are you two guests from the Everfree Forest in such a hurry to go back?Why don't you come with me to the palace, our majesty is very interested in the elves. The magician approached them both and whispered.
To be honest, they even really wanted to go back with him to meet the king at first place, and then carry out the assassination plan that had been planned for a long time, but after thinking about it, they were sure that he was lying to them, and the Chancellor's death should have been discovered.
"Yes, we're elves!" one of the elves lifted her hat, revealing a pair of pointed ears and long blond hair.
"But we won't rest on our laurels!" the other female elf slammed her palm on the magician's chest at the moment when everyone lost their minds, instantly pouring magical energy into the other's body.
"Catch them!" the guards reacted, shouting as they helped the smeaded magician, though no one dared to go up to die.
"It's just a bunch of useless rubbish!" the two women swaggered out of the city gates.
"Really?" Suddenly a voice rang in their ears, and then a group of magicians descended from the sky and surrounded the two elves.
"Take it!" Claude said in a deep voice, fortunately the magician just now found the anomaly and crushed the signal bottle in time, otherwise the two elves would have been taken away.
In a few moments, under the siege of the magician, the two female elves were captured, and at the same time, the spiritual power was sealed to prevent them from escaping or committing suicide.
"Escort back to the palace—wait...... Go to the teleportation array, Mercenary City. Claude thought about it, after all, the king is still young, and he has been so disgusted with the elves for some reason recently, and the two women who are handed over to him will definitely be tortured to death early, so it will be difficult to find out the forces behind it, and this matter should be handed over to Lin Qian to deal with the most appropriate.
As for Lin Qian, he had just woken up from a coma at this moment, and then there was a sharp pain in his thigh, which almost made him faint again.
"Whoa—how's my leg?" Lin Qian saw Sophia beside him, and knew that the crisis had been resolved, and this was the third time he had been treated by Sophia for his injuries.
"It's fine, but I may not be able to walk in the near future. Sophia said with some distress.
"It's ...... Where is it?" Lin Qian noticed that this seemed to be a bedroom, and the style was very simple, like a nearby house.
"It's the room of Prince Allen, most of his clan has been killed, and even his children have not been left, I'm afraid the whole family will be separated. Sophia already knew the truth from Lin Qian's letter, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Allen.
"I've already made arrangements for their family in Kolo City, but it's a pity...... What about the others?" Lin Qian thought to himself, there should be other women coming over.
"The three of us came, and Fradie went after the elven old man, and Elena was looking at Meryl, and this time thanks to her, Meryl couldn't do it. ”
Lin Qian thought about it for a while, and probably guessed what had happened, and the hand that Elena left was really far-sighted.
"Lord God's envoy!" Fradai's voice came from outside the door, and then she trotted all the way over, knelt directly in front of Lin Qian's bed, and cried, "It's useless to catch that hateful old man, and he fled after being seriously injured." The Lord God has made such a serious injury, please punish him!"
Lin Qian shook his head with a smile and motioned for her to get up, and Sophia also quickly helped her up and held her in her arms to comfort her.
"If you hadn't arrived, and since the two of them weren't the opponents of the Third Elder, I would have to thank you for saving my life. Lin Qian took her hand and held it tightly in his palm.
"Lord Divine Envoy, don't you really blame me?" asked Fradai, sobbing as she easily stopped.
"How can I blame you, go and call Elena, I have something to ask Meryl personally. Lin Qian struggled to get up and leaned against the head of the bed.
Soon Elena walked in with the disheveled Meryl, and it seemed that she had been tossed a lot just now.
"Meryl, tell me, how did the teacher die?" Lin Qian asked in a deep voice.
Meryl was just about to scold, when she suddenly received Elena's order in her mind, and her mouth unconsciously began to say: "I don't know, I just came home that day and saw my father lying in bed dead for a long time. His eyes were wide open, and he was covered in no scars. This is the Elven Queen's means of killing, but even if her father is seriously injured, only those close to her will have a chance to do it, otherwise it will not be possible to succeed at all. ”
"So you suspect that I did it?" Lin Qian asked again.
"Because there's still half a letter to you on the table. ”
"Childish!" concluded the murderer with a letter, and Lin Qian didn't carry the pot.
"Only the third uncle and I know about that place, and the third uncle was also seriously injured at the time, it can't be him, so the only thing that revealed our location was the letter he wrote to you before. ”
"What if I say that the letter doesn't mention your location? the letter is still there, and I'll show it to you. Lin Qian had probably guessed who the real murderer was, and the teacher was finally defeated by his own people.
"This ...... No way, you're lying to me!" Meryl was a little excited, and Elena quickly gave her an order to make her honest.
Lin Qian thought to himself that she couldn't be blamed for this, after all, her so-called third uncle was an old partner who had lived with her father for decades, and she was just a student who had been recognized for two years at most, and she also helped the elf queen defeat him.
"Wait!" Lin Qian remembered the contents of the letter, and suddenly reacted, "Didn't the teacher have two bodies?
"Yes. ”
"What about the other body?"
"I don't know, only the elven body is with me, and I guess the other body should have suffered an accident, otherwise I wouldn't have come to me to tell the truth. ”
Lin Qian shook his head when he heard this, and said seriously: "The teacher will definitely find a way to approach you, unless there is a danger around you that he dare not approach!"
