Chapter 121: Team A
In the evening, Elora Luna Manor.
Councillor Glendale, the owner of the manor, was entertaining the crowd, all of whom were the upper echelons of the half-elf society.
Of course, if any human nobles were here, they would probably be laughed off by the level of this feast. The Half-Elf Population is indeed not inferior to humans in terms of art and conversation, but it is simply miserable in terms of taste for material comforts.
After all, there is a mysterious vegetarian tradition at the top of the race. A banquet made of vegetables and fruits without any meat and greasy is far from being exquisite and sumptuous.
"But it's really elven style." Nola, who was in the crowd, sighed.
Through the cell proliferation of the laws of evolution, she cleverly created a "half-elf" face for herself, although not as convenient as Peggy's flesh and blood transformation, but also vivid and impeccable in appearance.
Eleanor and Sidlifa, who have also been disguised by the laws of evolution, are now mixed in with the manor's guards. Once the assassination was exposed, they quickly cordoned off the manor to prevent any witnesses who tried to call for help from escaping.
Of course, if it were Eleanor in the past, she would never have done this kind of slaughter. However, at this time, she knew that it was more important to resolve the internal differences of the half-elves as soon as possible and let them help stop the Iberian War.
As the feast continued, Nora in the room quickly noticed that the target, Councillor Glendale, had finished talking to the guests and was pouring himself a drink at the table.
A golden symbol flashed in her eyes.
As soon as the Glendale member took a sip of wine, he suddenly felt some abdominal pain, so he could only say hello to the secretary next to him, and then hurried to the toilet outside the venue.
When he came to the bathroom, he had just locked the door, and Mia, who had stepped on it beforehand, suddenly appeared behind Glendale.
The short knife stabbed into Glendale's back, and the Lv.16 councillor immediately collapsed his back muscles, and while holding the short knife, he had already activated his ability, and an invisible spirit emerged from the void and quickly pounced on Mia's body.
However, Mia and Nora have also fought against each other many times, and the moment they sensed the coldness behind them, they had already abandoned their swords and launched the Ripple Sword to disappear, and at the same time flashed in front of Glendale.
Two more short knives stabbed into the opponent's abdomen the moment they appeared, so deep that the hilt was completely submerged. Glendale's eyes widened, and he didn't even realize that the teenage assassin in front of him who had stabbed him was the same person as the assassin who had been backstabbed earlier.
Because he couldn't even think of going up to the Sword of Ripples.
At the same time as such doubts flashed, the sharp pain on his body quickly hit from different positions. Mia flashed four times in a row in a second, smack, accompanied by eight short knives stabbing into his body in succession.
With the dizziness caused by the massive loss of blood, Glendale could no longer concentrate his spirit and manipulate the surrounding spirits to pursue the assassin. His body lay in a pool of blood, and Mia stomped on his head, the shadow of the corpse surrounding his neck, strangulating his neck.
Lifting Glendale's head, Mia flashed to the roof of Luna Manor once more, throwing the head in her hand from the air.
Nora, who was standing in the doorway, saw something falling from above, so she turned around without hesitation and silently activated the ability of telepathic communication.
The target is killed, and Team A retreats.
The four girls quietly left the manor hall. Half a minute later, the patrolling guards found the owner's head on the side of the road, and chaos and uproar suddenly spread through the manor.
Soon, the guards found the bathroom where Glendale had been assassinated, as well as the remaining half of the body. After on-site investigation, it was initially believed that it was an undead assassin, because the door of the bathroom was locked from the inside, and it was certainly reasonable to suspect that the ghost could pass through the wall.
On the other side, in the palace of the half-elf queen.
"I'll consider your opinion." Sending Speaker Grace out of the palace gate, Queen Maya said lightly, looking at the mood is not very pleasant.
"Your Majesty, please consider it as soon as possible. At present, the people's call for severe punishment of the murderers is very strong, and the prestige of the court is also rapidly weakening. There were even riots in three streets yesterday, which seemed to be related to angry venters. Speaker Grace said solemnly, "If we don't respond soon, I'm afraid the situation will escalate further." ”
The other party even said, "Please consider it as soon as possible", and Maya almost didn't bother her face. What's the matter, are you the queen or the old lady is the queen?
Besides, who caused those robberies, do you think I don't know?
It was not easy to stabilize her expression, and the Mayan queen said coldly:
"I'll think about it. Recently, the law and order in the city has not been stable, and I have asked the royal city guard to strengthen patrols, and Your Excellency the Speaker should also be careful on the way back. ”
Seeing that his beating had made a difference, Speaker Greon nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave with the guard.
In normal times, of course, he didn't dare to provoke Her Majesty directly, after all, Maya was also a real demigod.
It's just that the political situation has developed to the point where the contradictions and differences between Elder Dilal and Her Majesty the Queen have intensified, and as the core elders of the conservative camp, the current Speaker Grace and Her Majesty the Queen are only maintaining a thin layer of face in official affairs.
As for privately, Her Majesty sees the Conservatives as "an obstacle to the revival of the Half-Elves", and the Conservatives disparage Her Majesty as "traitors who lead the Half-Elves to hell", and it has long been a semi-open secret that both sides have long been eager to get rid of each other.
In addition to creating turmoil recently, the conservatives are also trying to infiltrate the security guard and the army, but these two are Her Majesty's iron plates, and the current development effect is not very good, which makes Speaker Grace a little annoyed.
But this kind of thing can't be rushed after all. Your Majesty's biggest advantage is that she is Your Majesty, and her biggest weakness is that she is Your Majesty.
Until you are fully sure, let Her Majesty remain on her throne.
Elder Dilar, who was so coldly calculating, passed another block and saw that the door of the shop in front of him was already full of angry half-elves.
"Smash those evil human creations! The ancestral handicraft of the half-elf cannot be lost! With the leader's incendiary speech, the half-elf crowd began to shout angrily.
Under such a group of excitement, the shopkeeper was a little irresistible. Seeing that the royal capital guards had not arrived for a long time, he could only finally give in and move the mirrors in the store out for the crowd to smash.
Each time a mirror was smashed, the crowd erupted in cheers, scrambling to squeak the mirror shards with the soles of their thick boots, as if they were stepping on a human face.
Seeing that the people's hearts were so "usable", Speaker Gray, who was watching from afar, was also very satisfied.
In all fairness, the mirror surface that the half-elf craftsman grinds by hand on the glass is of course not as bright as the mirror made by human industry, and it is normal for the market to compete.
However, due to the recent Iberian War, the Aragon-Castian Kingdom's imports from Lusitania have shrunk significantly (after all, the Half-Elves cannot produce military products), and the livelihoods of many Half-Elves have been affected.
The public grievances of the recession need to be diverted, and conservatives have found an outlet for them:
Humans are robbing us of our income.
It was only after the crowd had smashed all the imported human mirrors in the store, and was content to retreat, that Speaker Grace withdrew his gaze from the shopkeeper with a sad face, turned slowly, and began to think about the next way to stir up public opinion.
Suddenly, a high-speed figure rushed out from the back of the street, and almost in the blink of an eye, rushed behind Speaker Gray!
