Chapter 133: Bait
Taking advantage of the fact that these arrogant "aunts" have not yet taken action and turned the banquet into a blind date, Ai Wen found an excuse and quickly slipped out.
Behind him, several ladies let out a series of "good-natured" laughs as they looked at his slightly embarrassed back.
"Aven, here!"
"Krel, you're finally here. ”
Leaving the small circle of several ladies, Evan didn't take two steps before he ran into his roommate Krel, who was also his chosen teammate for this operation.
"What's wrong, is there a situation?" Seeing that Evan was not very comfortable, Krell looked around the hall suspiciously, and nothing unusual happened.
"It's even more terrible than the situation! Forget it, I'm leaving too early, is there any new instructions from the commander?"
"No, the two of us were supposed to be invitees to this banquet, and the commander just let us use it as a backup force for the time being, just in case. At least the college has not received any requests for help from the town hall or for cooperation. ”
Krell shook his head when he heard this, saying that he didn't know any inside information.
"Is that so?"
Ai Wen's question was not a sudden whim, but because the seabird reconnaissance network, which had been fully opened, had just discovered an anomaly.
A holographic bird's-eye view that looks like a satellite remote sensing.
As night fell, the sturdy figures in the hotel quietly gathered and hid in the rooms near the periphery, even if you think about it on your knees, you know that they can't be ordinary people.
I didn't dare to let the seabirds get too close, but I just judged from a distance by standing and moving.
One, two.... There should be a total of five official-level transcendents and ten heavily armed probationary knights, and judging by their attire, they should all belong to the strongest of the city guards.
Seeing these city guards in the shadows, combined with Krel's words, Evan was instantly stunned.
In the latest battle report, on the second night, the Knights of the Iron Wall and the Raven Force cooperated to capture the tails of the two "murderers", the "Superior Murder Prince" and the "Fat Murder Clown", and successfully annihilated them.
Coupled with the "Hammer Trailing Maniac" that he killed on the first day, "Killer" has actually gone to three.
But in the two days that followed, the city guards, who were supposed to be one of the main forces, did not gain anything, and the Archon became visibly impatient.
Obviously, today's banquet is a trap set by him to set aside other forces and use the city guards as the main force.
Use the celebratory crowd to lure the remaining "killers" into taking the bait.
Whether it is a genuine desire to solve the "murderer" incident as soon as possible, to show his strength to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the upper echelons of the kingdom, or to eliminate the impact of such a vicious incident during his reign.
There is no doubt that this is a risky move!
Although the actions of the "killers" have their own patterns, they all have tragedy and even tragedy in common, and the celebratory crowd is still very attractive to them. I just don't know who will be attracted to the remaining "Demon's Disciple", "Poisonous Blue Bellflower", "White-faced Dancer", and "Random Host".
Whichever one comes, though, the banquet turns into a dangerous whirlpool.
The initial speculation was confirmed, and Evan was considering whether to send his aunt out first, but the time for the banquet to start had already come quietly...
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome," the Archon stood in the middle of the ballroom and greeted the guests with great enthusiasm.
There is no way to temporarily let go of the surging thoughts in my heart and wait and see what happens. Evan poked Krell lightly with his elbow and snorted at the center of the crowd.
"Krel, who is standing next to the Archon?"
"That's his wife and his only daughter. What's wrong?Do you have an idea for that beautiful young lady?hehehe..."Krell made a look that all men understood, and he thought he understood Aven's thoughts.
"What's the idea?!Cheer up, it won't be calm tonight!"
Ai Wen sighed that the archon really made a bloody capital now! It doesn't count that he went into battle in person, even his wife and daughter have been brought out, and he is confident to this extent, isn't he afraid that he will really lose his wife and lose his army?
Suddenly, Evan felt something move in his arms.
Quietly took out his "Violet Eye" identity card, and a line of information was already flowing through his heart.
With his eyes slightly closed, he rejoined the seabirds' field of vision, and by this time the petite pintail swifts and the ubiquitous white seagulls had spread across the entire hotel, and everything in the banquet was in full view of Aven.
This is also his greatest reliance.
Soon, Evan saw two familiar figures on the open platform on the second floor protruding from the ballroom.
One was dressed in the same uniform as himself, but he was of a higher rank, already with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and the other was a beautiful lady in a long grass-green dress, shining in the light of the banquet hall.
It was Anthony and Dilis, two of his friends he knew well in the "Shadow Library".
The day before yesterday, they had already contacted Evan to discuss a joint attack against those "murderers". Thinking of having one more helper and more strength, Ai Wen also agreed, although it was only agreed to send out a search in private, but it did not conflict with the official task.
"Aven, come to the 'Rose Crown' Hotel. ”
This is the message that has just been sent to Evan through the "Violet Eye" ID card, a kind of teleportation sorcery built into the ID card, although it can't cross too far distances, it is still no problem to use it within the city.
It's just that both the sending and receiving sides of the message must activate the spiritual power, which makes it impossible to popularize it at all.
Obviously, they who also attended this banquet also noticed the anomaly, and summoned Aven, who had greeted him in advance, to come over and hunt together.
After a brief reply to the message that he was already here to reassure them, Evan put away his card. As long as you are in this hotel, you can't hide any disturbances from your eyes, and you can support them at any time.
"Let's go, Aven, it's time for the first dance!"
At this time, Devri, who was unaware of the danger, saw that Evan had not returned, and went straight to find her. Upper-class balls have rules, and the first dance is usually done by a partner who comes together, and then they are free to socialize, and Evan is the dance partner brought by Devri.
It's rude and humiliating for a lady to have no dance partner of the opposite sex.
"Okay, Auntie!"
"Is this your friend?" asked Devrey curiously, suddenly seeing Krell standing next to Aven.
"Hello Madam, I'm Evan Clan's classmate Krell Dawson, it's an honor to meet you!"
"Dawson? Is that Dawson of Admiral Dawson of the First Fleet?"
It was not Devri who spoke, but Lady Dulisa, who came after her dancing partner.
"If the First Fleet doesn't have a second Admiral Dawson, it's my uncle!" The fact that the family's name is recognized by others is a matter of pride, and Krell graciously admits it.
"Sure enough, it's a young man from the Dawson family, my family..."
"Alright, Du Lisha, let's go in first, there is still a lot of time to socialize. Knowing her best friend's temperament, Devri interrupted her next sentence in time.
"Krel, I'll go over first, and we'll talk after the first dance. Bye!"
"Okay, I'll see you later. Krell, who waved and watched Evan and Devri leave holding hands, suddenly realized that although he had an invitation, he was not ready to participate at the beginning, and then he was suddenly assigned a task, so how could he have a dance partner?
Ah, so desolate...!
