The carriage continued to move smoothly.

About fifteen minutes later, I stopped at the entrance of the 'White Deer Restaurant' on the Seventh Ring Road.

This was the location Qin Ran chose.

The 'Silent Night Order' chooses the time.

It's fair for both sides to choose a little bit each, isn't it?

"Your Highness, it's here."

The captain of the royal guard, who was escorting the side, knocked on the window and said.

Monte jumped down from the driver's side and opened the door after making sure it was safe.

"Your Highness, be careful."

Compared with the past, the close ministers at this time are more and more attentive.

After talking to the Sixth Emperor before, although His Majesty did not have any promises, he already understood what His Majesty meant.

When His Royal Highness succeeds to the throne, he will become the Minister of Destiny.

Not the only one, just one of them.

But for Monte, it was enough!

This is an identity that he once dared not think of.

You know, he's just a courtier, or the kind he knows.

Now, as a courtier, he has earned the title of Minister of Fortune, which is not only a change in title, but also a change in status, status, and title.

And in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Monte at this moment has already played a twelve-point spirit.

There is no doubt that Monte can block Qin Ran's gun without any hesitation at this moment.

In the same way, Qin Ran's enemy is his enemy.

Therefore, when he saw Hollaika and Wolft attending on behalf of the 'Silent Night Secret Order', the minister's eyes were filled with vigilance and concern, and it was not until the secret agent from the side confirmed that it was safe, and the minister quietly retreated behind Qin Ran.

"Lord Colin."

Hollaika and Wolft saluted Qin Ran.

Hollaika looked calm, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Wolft is a bit unnatural.

As a member of the 'Silent Night Secret Society', except for his own councillors, Wolft rarely salutes others, and even if he salutes, he is a high-ranking member of the same organization, similar to bowing to other organizations?

This is the first time.

It feels very strange and ......

Awful!

Although the parliamentarians did not say anything, Wolft was not a fool and naturally had speculations in the face of the situation.

The situation is very unfavorable to the 'Silent Night Secret Order'.

Hope all the best!

With a heartfelt prayer, Wolfft cursed again at several of his dead companions.

If it weren't for those three bastards who couldn't tell the difference between the situation and only knew how to please, how could they be so passive?

What a damn thing!

After another curse from the bottom of his heart, Wolft turned around and walked into the 'White Hart Restaurant' side by side with Holleka.

The door to the restaurant is a double-open wooden door, and the floor is as clean as the signboard, obviously cleaned, just like the chef here, all dressed in new clothes.

However, what is more concerning is the food on the table.

A large oval table for 20 people is placed in the center of the dining room.

It was filled with food.

Golden bread and fried potatoes are served together with roasted venison and bear.

Emerald green, bright red fruits aside.

The wine with the palm barrel is placed on the other side.

As the identity of the heir was known to the upper echelons of Etaninburgh, so did the other's fondness for food.

Qin Ran didn't hide his preferences.

At least, he doesn't think there's a need to disguise.

For one, his love for the taste of food is real.

Second, he needs a point that is easier to focus on.

Rather than pondering and starting to lay out after being noticed in other aspects, it is better to take the initiative to show it, at least, he has a natural advantage in terms of food.

Of course, he won't reveal it.

Silently walked into the restaurant, the old witcher who had been waiting for a long time, and a flash joined the queue behind Qin Ran, Monte glanced at the old witcher, but did not make a sound.

The special identity of His Royal Highness will definitely lead to some special characters.

With an old witcher, it's more reliable than the royal guards in terms of security.

Monte already knew this.

However, he did not take this lightly, and one step ahead, Monte stepped forward and began to check the food, and members of the royal guard guarded the various entrances to the restaurant.

Although it had been checked before, Monte was not careless at this time.

There are just too many examples of that kind of improvised poisoning.

Monte didn't want misfortune to happen to his Highness.

After a full five minutes, the minister turned around and signaled to Qin Ran that there was no problem.

And when the ministers signaled, Hollaika and Wolft put the crystals on the side of the table.

The next moment-

Airplanes!

With the vibration of the air.

The phantoms of Gelsack and the fourteen southern councillors began to appear in Qin Ran's field of vision.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness Colin."

As soon as he appeared, a kind-voiced Southern councillor spoke first.

Gersack, who was in charge of Etaninburg, was silent.

"Councillor Atfen?"

Qin Ran confirmed the identity of the other party.

"The intelligence agents of the royal family are more capable than you think."

"Of course......"

"It's also possible that it's a snake faction."

The other party's laughter came from under the hood.

Monte frowned slightly at the sound of such laughter.

The ministers keenly noticed that the Councillor of Etfen was tempting the Serpent Sect and the Etandine royal family, or, to put it simply, to sow discord.

Once the royal family and the snake faction have any dirt, it will inevitably add fuel to the fire.

If not?

That's okay too.

It is also possible to add up to a lot, and quantitative changes cause qualitative changes.

The ministers dared to guarantee that this was what Atfen in front of him was going to do.

The other party said that it was a negotiation, but at this time it was ill-intentioned......

The retainer began to think.

Almost subconsciously, his gaze turned to the silent Gelsack.

As the steward of Etaninburgh, the silence of the other party is really strange.

Don't......

Something immediately occurred to the minister.

Immediately, the minister's eyes lit up.

The minister gave Qin Ran a look quietly, and walked out slowly under the latter's head.

"I've seen Lord Atfen."

As the representative of the heir of the kingdom, Monte was not rude, he first bowed, and then said slowly: "Your Highness, as the heir of the kingdom and the heir of the snake faction, where does the information come from, and what does it matter?" ”

It is clear that the 'Silent Night Order' does not have any news that Colin is the heir of the Serpent Sect.

Therefore, after Monte spoke, the Southern councilors present were stunned.

Gersack, however, was indifferent.

Such a stark contrast made the ministers more and more sure.

Gersack and the Southern Councillors are not of the same mind.

That's it!

An iron plate, difficult to break.

But with a gap?

Hey, hey, hey.

There was a wicked smile in the bottom of his heart.

That's what he's best at.

"Why, doesn't Lord Atphany know?"

"I thought His Excellency Gersack would tell you."

The minister said exaggeratedly.

Atphine glanced at Gelsack.

Even the cover of the hood makes people feel the coldness in this gaze.

Atphine knew that this would allow the ministers in front of him to learn more about the true story of the 'Silent Night Secret Order'.

However, he was angry at Gersack's concealment.

Concealed such important news.

The remaining thirteen Southern Councillors were the same, glaring angrily at Gersack.

As the heir to the kingdom, Colin is a member of the Snake Sect and is the heir of the Snake Faction are two completely different concepts.

The former can only be said to be a more intimate cooperation.

And the latter?

You can see the two as one!

From this, it can be inferred that there will be other members of the Serpent Sect in the Etandine royal family?

In the army, could it be that there are also members of the snake faction hidden?

And those spies, waiters, and palace maids!

Even......

Did the Serpent Sect be born from the royal family of Etandine?

Or was the Etandine royal family born out of the Serpent faction?

Otherwise, why was the Snake Sect silent before, without any record of its existence?

There must be a larger organization that covers it up.

Leaving aside the unwitting 'wolf faction', what could be more appropriate than the Etandine royal family?

Consider the unreasonable behavior of the Etandine royal family at certain moments......

In an instant, the faces of everyone present changed, and the gaze looking at Qin Ran became even more inexplicably weird.

It is clear that the Serpent faction and the Etandin royal family have reached a consensus and introduced a common heir.

And when this heir comes to power, the situation in the entire Hokuriku and the South will change.

Such an heir cannot be allowed to appear!

Instinctively, the fourteen members of the South thought at the same time.

However, the next moment, they thought about the current situation.

That inexplicable existence!

The demigod or god who hides in the shadows!

And the 'fog' that stands in the light!

Damn it!

When did the situation in Etaninburg become so complicated?

The Southern legislators had no doubts about the existence that was hidden in the shadows.

It is naturally that kind of existence that can make a believer who originally had a firm belief change his faith.

As for the other party's lack of reputation before?

Look at the 'Mist'!

Who knew the name 'Mist' before that battle broke out in Sikaling?

Obviously, that existence was like a 'fog', quietly developing its own power, waiting for the day when it would become a blockbuster.

Can......

They sabotaged such a plan.

Atphine could almost imagine the anger of that being.

You can't kill each other!

It's not time yet!

The inexplicable existence of the other party is the top priority!

"Corypoe's death, Rudes' disappearance, made Gersack too tired, and it's normal to forget something."

Atphine said as he looked at Gersack again.

That gaze couldn't be clearer.

Cooperate with him.

Or tear your face.

Atfen wasn't worried.

If Gersack wanted to tear his face, he wouldn't have waited until now.

Sure enough, the next moment, Gersack nodded.

"Hmm."

Mu Ran, without any more expressions, Gersack nodded.

Although everyone present could see how false this was.

But none of them have been exposed.

They chose to turn a blind eye and acquiesce.

Including, the close ministers who spoke on behalf of Qin Ran.

Now is not the time to chase after it.

What is needed now is compensation!

The close minister, who had already received the signal from Qin Ran, coughed lightly and spoke again.

"Your Excellency Atfen, we don't bother with your household affairs."

"However, the unprovoked invasion of your men, I think it needs to be discussed."

Jinchen said.

"Of course."

"That's what we're here for."

"After all, it's not a time for 'infighting.'"

After Atfen finished speaking, he didn't give the ministers room to interject, and looked at Qin Ran very directly and said, "Two hundred and eighty pieces of real magic props and equipment, which we use in exchange for your forgiveness as the heir of the Snake Sect and the Etandine royal family." ”

Two hundred and eighty pieces of magic items and equipment?!

Hearing Atfen's words, Monte, who was just about to speak, was stunned.

As a courtier.

Monte was quite wealthy.

It is not as rich as those inherited families, but it is dozens of times richer than the likes of ordinary knights.

But even so, at his price, he can only buy 3-5 magic items.

So, naturally, Monte was stunned.

Also stunned are ......

Old Witcher!

Edson wasn't someone who had never seen the world, but it was two hundred and eighty pieces of magic item equipment!

And it's real, it's not a so-called trick class!

If it is used properly, it will not be necessary to pay all the compensation, only a small part of it, and after a year or two of training, he will be able to make the 'wolf faction' reappear.

The old demon hunter, who had been a little resistant to this meeting, stopped resisting for a moment, and began to think about how to ask the heir of the snake sect for these compensations.

His throwing knife skills were taught as well.

What else can he use as a bargaining chip?

Even the old witcher who inherited the iron rooster character frowned tightly.

"Yes."

Qin Ran spoke.

I agreed in one bite.

There was no bargaining.

This made Monte, who had just come back to his senses, die in a hurry.

Since the other party has quoted such a chip, there must be more, and with just a simple skill, you will definitely be able to get more!

Damn it!

I'm damned!

Unexpectedly, His Highness suffered such a loss!

As the future minister who cares for his life, the close minister who takes on the role can't wait to slap himself twice.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Damn it!

A group of upright, simple, and honest bastards who bully His Highness!

Jinchen stared at the Southern Councillor viciously, and pulled these fourteen people into his blacklist.

Fourteen other councillors such as Atfen felt such a gaze.

However, he didn't care.

What they cared more about was Qin Ran's crispness.

They wouldn't believe that Qin Ran simply agreed because he was young.

I wouldn't believe that Qin Ran was carried away by the huge compensation for a while.

As for Qin Ran, he knew their bottom line from the beginning?

It's even more impossible.

Unless they have a traitor in the middle.

Although there was a deceitful battle between them, it was an internal struggle of the 'Silent Night Secret Order', and even Gelsack would not bring in outsiders.

Therefore, there is only one possibility left!

It wasn't just they who noticed the inexplicable presence.

The 'Snake Pie' also took notice.

Thinking of this, the Southern legislators glanced at each other.

Then, his eyes looked at Qin Ran at the same time.

"The compensation is complete."

"We don't think I can do more in-depth cooperation."

"What do you think, Your Highness Colin?"

Atphine asked tentatively.

"Yes."

Qin Ran waved his hand as he spoke.

Immediately, everyone except the old demon hunter and his close ministers walked out.

Atphine also motioned for Holleka, Wolft and the others to leave.

Soon, there were only three Qin Ran, the old demon hunter, the close ministers, and fifteen phantoms left in the entire 'White Deer Restaurant'.

After a slight groan, Qin Ran spoke.

"You've found Him too?"
