Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It was dusk, the earth was bathed in the orange sunset, the chirping of birds and birds circled through the twilight for a long time, and the wind in the distant mountains and forests carried a heavy coolness to drive away the faint white mist, curling smoke, the lights were dim, and the shadows of the night began to fall silently.
Soup, fresh meat, vegetables, fruits and bread, at the end of a hearty dinner, gathered around the sofa by the fireplace, enjoying the warmth of the fire, body and mind seem to dispel all fatigue and bring people a comfortable peace.
Pandelia held the brewed hot tea, her eyes slightly dazed at the pale white steam rising from the tea, but in fact, her clear blue eyes had been staring at the man opposite.
Winnie, curled up on the sofa, hugged a white and soft pillow, her eyes were half-drooped and a little blurred, her small mouth opened slightly, and after a long yawn, she reached out and wiped the wetness from the corners of her eyes and shook her head, as if she was throwing all the sleepiness out of her head.
I said...... Are we just going to be stupid and silent? ”
Winnie couldn't hold back the inhibition of her atmosphere anymore and spoke.
Pandelia put down the teacup, reached out and picked up a delicate invitation on the table, and shook it towards the man opposite: "Your Excellency Xia Lan, how should we respond to the invitation to Viscount Farrante's banquet tomorrow?" ”
"It's a banquet we can't refuse." Xia Lan said with a solemn expression: "Even if it's a trap. ”
"Traps? Why do you think this way? Is it ......?" said Pandelia.
"I can't explain it, because it's just my intuition, my instinct for danger as a high-ranking swordsman." Xia Lan replied.
Pandelia is more or less aware of some rumors about the powerful people in the upper ranks. Those who reach their level have an inexplicable sense of danger. And this kind of feeling can allow them to anticipate danger in advance. It sounds incredible, but it's true.
During the day, the sudden disappearance of Bukins, who was spying on Xia Lan, made him feel inexplicably uneasy, he couldn't say how he felt, but he smelled danger in this feeling, and sure enough, not long after they returned to their residence from the alchemy workshop, the attendant sent by Viscount Frank sent an invitation to the banquet at the right time.
He found. It turned out that the so-called danger came from the other party's sudden invitation to the banquet.
It's quirky.
And he couldn't tell the oddity, he always felt as if he was missing something important.
"Pandelia, has there been any result of what I told you to inquire about?"
At this time, Xia Lan, whose thoughts were complicated, decided to put aside the troubled questions for the time being.
"If the news I secretly inquired about is not correct, the woman you told me to inquire about should be Serara, the niece of Viscount Farrant! And ......"
As she spoke, an unexpected smile broke out on Pandelia's face.
"I also learned important information from someone who was attentive, do you know why Bukins, who is a high-ranking swordsman, would have joined Viscount Frante?"
"Because of Serala?"
Xia Lan, who was quick-witted, suddenly guessed.
"That's right!" Pandelia didn't seem surprised by Xia Lan's correct guess: "I heard that Buggins was only the bodyguard of Miss Sallara's mother when he didn't become a high-ranking powerhouse, and later after Miss Silara's mother died of a serious illness, he has always been by Serala's side, even if he has become a high-ranking swordsman. Rumor has it that he once had an affair with Serrala's mother, and that Serrala was actually his daughter! ”
Rumors about Bukins, Xia Lan didn't know much. But there is one thing that he is very profound, because the other party has never left Telalo City since he joined Viscount Frante, and some people say that it is because Viscount Frante is worried about the assassination of the rival lord nobles, so he keeps Bukins by his side.
However, after hearing the information from Pandelia, he discovered the other side of the truth.
Bugins was indeed protecting a man in Telalo City, but he was not protecting Viscount Frank, but a young girl who was also in Fort Gradi.
This important piece of information made Xia Lan, who was in a mess of thoughts, seem to grasp the thread to break through the predicament in front of her!
He abruptly stood up from the couch, startling Pandelia and Winnie.
"Your Excellency Xia Lan, what's wrong with you?"
Pandelia, who noticed the strangeness of the other party, hurriedly asked.
"Pack your horses, we're ready to leave Telalo City tonight!"
"What?"
Pandelia and Winnie were shocked at the same time.
"If you don't want to die, you'd better do what I do!"
"But... But ......"
When the confused two people were confused and still wanted to say something, Xia Lan interrupted in a deep voice: "No! Get ready now! ”
In the face of Xia Lan's resolute and unquestionable attitude, Pandelia and Winnie could only reluctantly obey.
Seeing the two of them gradually disappear in the direction of the porch, Xia Lan suddenly had an ancient long sword in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared at the door of the house.
"Things will always deviate from the original assumption in a helpless way."
Shaking her head in thought, Xia Lan pushed open the door of the house.
"Some people have to deal with before they leave!"
And the people he was talking about were the same people who replaced Bukins today and came to spy on them!
There are three Watchers, the strongest of which is only the middle peak, and they are located in different corners of the house, so that they can evacuate separately in the event of an accident, which greatly increases the chance of surviving to call for help!
However, the enemies they will face this time are far from what they imagined.
When Xia Lan walked out of the gate with a long sword, the monitors immediately noticed the strangeness and danger on the other party's body, and before they could react, Xia Lan's figure suddenly disappeared.
"Withdraw!"
Feeling bad, they immediately made this decision at the same time.
One of the watchers sped quickly through the dense forest shrouded in night, and Fort Gradi in the distance kept shrinking the distance in his sight, and his heart beat wildly, because he vaguely felt that someone seemed to be behind him!
"The last one."
At this moment, a cold voice quietly sounded in his ears, and the watcher felt that his own pace was frozen and slowed down.
He knew he couldn't escape!
In a short period of time, according to the meaning of the other party's words, he probably knew that his two companions had died at the hands of the other party.
He was not surprised, because the other party was a real high-ranking powerhouse!
A cold light appeared.
The last watchman stopped, his throat twitching as he looked at Fort Gradi, and he seemed to want to cry out for help, but his body fell to the ground with a bang. (To be continued)
