Chapter 127: First Strike
To be honest, Kezia hasn't left a particularly good impression on Kahlil since they first met, although the long person looks like a dog, and the dress is not worth dropping, and the overall appearance is a bit level, but it always gives Kahlil some not very good feelings. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Anyway, I always feel like a guy who needs to be careful with the embankment, even if it looks like a high-level NPC that comes out of many novels for the protagonist to step on...... It's still not reassuring, as if if given a chance, he will do something crazy.
And then tonight, it seems, finally made him wait for his chance.
After an aftershock, the nobles finally began to whisper again, and although many frowned and doubted, there was no evidence to deduce, and the tremor could only be ignored as if it had happened naturally.
The music began to play softly again, and it seemed that the vision did not affect people's emotions. Only the old king, who was sitting on the high platform, sighed in a voice that was almost indistinguishable.
"This is not an earthquake, this is the opening salute...... "Kezia grinned, his originally gentle temperament was ruined by this action, "and after this, you will have the privilege of seeing the beginning of a new era"
New era?
"What are you going to do?"
Carlil asked, seemingly a very weak sentence in every sense of the word, but Carlil felt that this nonsense was enough.
"You'll find out in a moment......"
Kezia replied, looking up and looking around the hall from afar.
The whole hall has two huge wooden doors on the left and right for people to enter and exit, and they are all tightly closed at this time, and the three walls are decorated with huge windows with stained glass, only the direction of the old king's back is the solid stone wall facing the castle, and the huge glass windows on three sides are two people high, and the candlelight in the house is dyed in various colors, casting the light on the outside of the hall, and it is completely impossible to see the movement inside.
At this moment, when no one should have disturbed them, both doors were slammed open at the same time.
This ball, which should not have been intruded, suddenly someone broke in, and not one or two, but a group of heavily armed people, and before anyone could react, like a school of fish in the water, quickly occupied the whole hall and stood around it.
Well-trained, vigorous and uniform.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden change......
Intrude?
Who! What about the guards!
Only then did Kahlil remember that the captain of the King's Guard was Kezia. Boena, and this guy was now standing in front of him with a smirk.
"What do you want to do......"
Kahlil asked in a low voice.
Someone in the crowd began to cast their eyes on Kezia with doubt, fear, or other looks, at his strange smile and at the glittering glass in his hand.
Tall, fully armored guards had taken over the hall, guarding every pass around the walls that might allow the slightest entry or exit, leaving a few people standing in the hall, surrounding the crowd for most of the half.
Then, in opposition to the king's direction, several guards gathered around Kezia, in the direction of the wall opposite the king.
The nobles had long been accustomed to being protected by these heavily armed guards, and even their faces were obscured by shiny metal, but they had no doubt that they were on their side.
The guards were good guards, loyal and experienced in battle, and their ranks were indeed up to the serious task of guarding the royal city.
But their heads are different.
Kezia. Beauna, Captain of the Guards...... A guy who seemed to be able to do anything, his drunken appearance just now was swept away, as if he had never been drunk, but only wore a drunken mask.
"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Skaloa for having such an annual gathering where all the nobles, including His Majesty the King, can have a good drink, and for having such an opportunity to bring all the great nobles together, it is a very pleasant event, yes, beyond words, unspeakable, exciting event." Kezia spoke loudly, his voice drew all the nobles over, and feeling the change of events, finally everyone put down their movements and concentrated on being the spectators of the show.
But the reaction was dull, the whole hall looked at each other, no one took Kezia's words, let Kezia alone be a little arrogant, led a few guards to stand on the side of the hall, and drove everyone else out of this direction.
"Then the slight earthquake just now didn't cause too much of an impact, so get your guards out and don't let the dance go out for too long."
Another young nobleman stood up from the crowd and spoke towards Kezia from a distance.
Kahlil subconsciously searched his memory, and he didn't have the impression of this guy at all, he was probably an ordinary guy in all aspects, and although he looked neatly dressed, he was far from Kezia's vague unique temperament...... To put it bluntly, it is a miscellaneous soldier with a face, and I can't see any domineering.
"Ah...... Ibrahimovic. Callister" Kezia raised his eyebrows and called out the other party's name very easily, he is much more reliable than the half-hung nobleman of Carlil, at least such an aristocratic circle has already memorized the melon, and it is simply impossible to call the name.
"What's wrong?"
Ibu, who was suddenly called by his full name, naturally asked, he looked at Kezia with some surprise, not understanding what kind of state Kezia was in now.
"Oh, of course, you won't understand, it may be too difficult for you to understand - you don't need to understand what's going on, just do what you need to do - friends" Kezia said a few mocking words, raised his head, stood between the two guards, raised his hands high, and shouted to all the nobles: "Maybe I'm Kezia. Bona and even the Bona family, what grudges you have against you in the past years, or what you have conspired against me, but it doesn't matter anymore, the ball is over here! It's all going to end tonight, most of you, we'll never see each other again! A heart-wrenching earthquake, a natural disaster that will wipe out most of Skalloa's great nobles - and of course, no one will open the ruins of this palace to confirm the scars on your necks! ”
All the guards, with their right hands, pulled out the accessories neatly, and neatly slashed a semicircle in the air, pointing the eerie blades diagonally at the ground.
"Pray that your name is not on my list...... "Perhaps you are in possession of the information I want to know, tell me about it, and perhaps it will be an important bargaining chip in exchange for your own life...... We, who do we start with? ”
Lose your marbles......
It's insane!
Kahlil found herself suddenly a little confused about the current situation, this guy who had just had a glass of wine suddenly wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill some nobles? It's hard to think about it, what is it going to do, it's all like Andris and the Bethel camp seem to be doing, and he, Kezia, is doing so well now and starting to do this big rebellious thing.
You see that our assassin alliance has even done an assassination plan in an orderly manner, isn't it in vain when Kezia mixes it like this, don't you play according to the routine......
Carlil glanced at his father and Angus, and Morton stood beside him expressionlessly, one hand on his shoulder, the movement was a bit like pinching his shoulder, and he didn't know what mood he was in for this gesture. And Angus ...... It looks like he's about the same state as himself, his brows are tightly locked, and he can't count on it.
"Kezia. Boena" A sturdy middle-aged man in the crowd stood up: "You understand what you're doing?" Could it be that you drank too much tonight and hurt your already bad head? I want to shoot at the nobles in such a large public! ”
"It seems that you have not yet recognized the current form," Kezia said with a smile, "Then it seems that it is necessary for me to let you see what kind of situation is now, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings later, I am a very efficient person, so in this case, I will trouble you, Alexander. Kilroy. ”
Kezia raised his right hand and snapped his fingers lightly in the air.
Whew――
In a slight crack, a crossbow bolt swept through the back of the crowd. A cool breeze swept around the necks of the nobles of Kilroy, and then a few sparks popped up on the marble floor, leaving a few drops of bright red blood in their wake. (To be continued.) )
