The banquet was not noisy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The nobles get together to discuss the big news of the Flame Kingdom, discuss the actions of the Ogre Mountain, and discuss some of the obscure division of interests.

The wealthy merchants gathered at another table to discuss which trade route was safer and more profitable, and which wealthy merchant had made a fortune.

No matter how much dirty calculations there are behind the scenes, at least on the surface, they are happy and harmonious.

It didn't take long for the servants to line up and bring new wine.

With a smile on his face, the lord of the city took the lead in holding the wine glass, introducing that this was a fine wine purchased at a high price from a halfling, and a barrel of wine was worth a thousand gold, and Pegasus City had never appeared.

Then everyone toasts together.

The wine is good wine, and no one wants to shirk the kindness of the lord of the city, so everyone except for Gavin's table raises their wine glasses. Even if you don't like to drink, you can take a symbolic sip, at least it has to mean something.

It was unusually quiet, followed by the praises of the nobles and wealthy merchants.

This is a rare opportunity, Gavin glanced at Morgana, Morgana nodded slightly, which made Gavin feel a lot more at ease.

No matter how difficult and dangerous it is, at least there is one person who will support him.

He was about to stand up and tell the story he had prepared, to identify himself, and to put an end to William Barov's ruse.

It was at this time that the unexpected appeared.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

There was a series of falling sounds, and the nobles and wealthy businessmen who stood up fell to the ground one by one, and there were not many who were still standing in place.

There are hundreds of people, and in an instant, there are only about a dozen people left!

The City Lord of Pegasus, Bishop John, Lord the Holy Inquisition, Viscount Lane, and several other able-bodied nobles, as well as several guards from the City Lord's Mansion.

"What's going on? Poison? Who poisoned it? "The Pegasus City Lord immediately sensed that something was wrong.

His gaze scanned back and forth among the few people still standing, and then he called out loudly, ordering the guards to come and protect them.

However, there was no movement at all.

Only the few guards who had been standing in the corner of the banquet hall rushed to the city lord's side at this time, drew their swords, and looked guarded.

The change happened so quickly that no one had time to react.

"Father!"

"Mother!"

Several heart-rending screams rang in their ears, and Jean, Brand, and Willy rushed out, and among those who fell were their parents.

Gavin didn't speak.

He glanced at Morgana and nodded slightly.

Morgana then grabbed Annabelle and took out her staff, on full alert.

She whispered, "Annabelle, are your scrolls still there?" ”

After all, Annabelle was only thirteen years old, and she suddenly encountered such a drastic change, and she was already good without crying.

Her tears swirled in her eyes, she couldn't hold back and didn't flow out, took out a dimensional bag from her arms, held it tightly in her hand, and looked at Morgana and nodded heavily: "Yes, these are the inheritances left to me by my mother and aunt, I have always carried them with me, and I never dared to leave." ”

Morgana said softly, "Don't be afraid, Annabelle has grown up, learn to be calm." Do you believe Sister Morgana? ”

Annabelle nodded hurriedly and said, "Believe!" Except for Grandpa Nikolai, only Sister Morgana is the best for me! By the way, there is also Sister Irene, but she wanted to stay in Brimstone and didn't come back. ”

Morgana said, "Annabelle, in fact, the one who cares about you the most will always be your father. You know, he once told me, let me take care of you. And Irene, who was also asked by the lord of the castle to take care of you. Now that the situation is mixed, your father may be in danger. You don't know enough about spells, and you don't have enough combat experience, and these spell scrolls can only be used to their greatest power in my hands. Will you give them to me? ”

Annabelle hesitated.

These are the inheritances left to her by her mother and aunt, the most precious things she had, as precious as her life!

But my father is really in danger!

She thought that her father had always hated her, so she had always disliked her father. But at this time, she suddenly found that she cared about her father very much and was afraid that something would happen to him.

She has lost her mother, aunt and uncle, and her father is his only relative!

She really can't afford to lose her father!

Annabelle stuffed the dimensional bag into Morgana's hand, and pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Sister Morgana, you must save your father!" ”

Morgana clenched the dimensional bag and comforted softly: "Don't worry, Sister Morgana is very powerful!" ”

She stood up and led Annabelle to the far corner, leaning against the wall.

He holds a red agate staff in his right hand and a ruby ring on his ring finger.

And in the palm of her hand, she clutched a ruby, which was the "Eye of the Fire King" that Gavin gave her.

Tying the dimensional bag around her waist and reaching out to pick up a scroll in her left hand, a confident smile appeared on her face.

Gavin took out his staff at the first moment.

But he didn't attack anyone, because the situation was unclear.

He didn't trust anyone but Morgana, including the lord of the city.

Gavin noticed that the faces of those who had fallen were slowly turning gray, and their souls were suffering from pain.

In other words, there is not much problem with their bodies, but their souls have been severely damaged.

As the lord said, this is not the effect of some kind of spell, but the manifestation of poisoning.

And this is not an ordinary toxin, it is a toxin that can directly attack the soul but does not do much harm to the body.

There is certainly more than one toxin.

Every meal and drink in the City Lord's Mansion must have been carefully and thoroughly tested, and there was even a priest and a mage in charge of detecting toxicity. It stands to reason that any toxic substances should not be brought here.

But everyone who drank the glass of wine just now was poisoned.

Gavin could think of at least ten toxins that acted on souls and could not be detected by mages and priests, but only one was most likely to appear at the banquet.

"It's the tears of the wraith! She did it so quickly? I should have thought that since she ordered the necromancer Andrew to make the Tears of the Wraith, it must have been used to poison people! A cold light flashed in Gavin's eyes, and he understood everything.

After comparing the information obtained by the adventurer's guild and the information collected by Morgana, plus Gavin's own speculation, an unbelievable truth emerged.

Lady Amber is really alive!

Or rather, she is now alive in the form of a "vampire", and has been hiding in the dark region near Brimstone City, planning everything.

Whether it is the necromancer Andrew, or the vampire Lestat, and all the vampires in Brimstone City, they are all her subordinates, and the death knight imprisoned in the lich's crypt is naturally her subordinate.

It's hard to explain all the intricacies of this, but there's no doubt about one thing:

Lady Amber must take revenge on the Lord of the City and the entire Pegasus City!

The slums of Brimstone were captured in order to accumulate strength.

Gavin had thought that Lady Amber had created Tears of Wrath in order to poison the goblins who ruled Brimstone, after all, that was the priority.

After killing those goblins, she can control the entire Brimstone City, so that she has the confidence to face off with Pegasus City.

But Gavin never expected that Lady Amber would go straight to Pegasus City despite the biggest threat around her!

It's risky and not in line with Lady Amber's character.

Isn't she worried about failure?

After all, Pegasus City still has the Temple of Light, the Temple of Dawn, the Pegasus Cavalry Troops, and the Flame Lancer Cavalry.

There are also thousands of guards from nobles and wealthy merchants!

"Unless, she's in Pegasus City, and there's Neiying!"

Gavin set his sights on Viscount Lane.

He had always felt that there was something wrong with this Viscount Lane.

A viscount who has mastered two-thirds of the city's defense power in Pegasus City, once he joins forces with Lady Amber, then Pegasus City will be useless.

But Gavin thinks it's more than that.

One Viscount Ryan is not enough.

She has other helpers.

There must still be!
