In the council chamber, in addition to the Grand Duke of Strathra and others, there were also the dignitaries who had been invited that night, who stayed here to wonder if the murderer of the hollow murder had been caught.

It was also the first time for Shirley to see so many high-ranking figures, among these people, there were even several kings, under the gaze of so many eyes, Shirley felt a little nervous, and even her palms began to sweat.

Ruan Chi was not nervous at all, and when he saw Diana waving to him, he was not polite, he simply walked over and sat down with his buttocks, and sat directly next to her.

At this moment, there were more eyes, including some young nobles, and most of their eyes were murderous in jealousy.

The daughter of the Grand Duke of Strathra, who wouldn't want to sit by her side? But this black-haired imp who didn't know where he came from actually sat directly next to Miss Strathra, which was too much.

"Your seat is over there, this guest." An aristocratic young man who was pursuing Diana obviously couldn't stand it, and stood up and said aloud.

"Is there a difference between sitting here and sitting somewhere else?" Ruan Chi didn't know that he was sitting in the wrong position, and said with a blank expression.

As soon as these words came out, the nobles present all showed a look of mockery and disdain.

Seeing this, Shirley secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly walked to Ruan Chi's side and whispered: "Let's not sit here, this place is not for us to sit." ”

"What? Really sitting on the wrong seat? Ruan Chi frowned, he didn't expect to be so particular about even sitting in a position, he knew that he wouldn't come like this.

The aristocracy's seat is indeed very elegant, it is a kind of class symbol, like this council chamber. The first row of lords is in addition to the main Duke of Stella. The seats were all dignitaries above the rank of king.

It is worth mentioning. The famous St. Snowwin of the Storm is also on the list.

As for Gabriddle, although he was the current commander of the Horn of Sparta, it was not a time of war, and he could only sit in the first row of the guest seats, and could not sit on the main seat with Snowen and the kings.

The lower position, in order of title, is Diana, because she is the daughter of the Grand Duke of Strathra. She can sit in the first row of the guest seat.

Ruan Chi sat directly next to Diana just now, and naturally occupied one of the seats in the first row of the guest seat, which was the closest place to the main seat, in addition to being a status symbol, it was also a good position to talk with Grand Duke Strathra.

Therefore, when Ruan Chi sat down, he attracted a lot of jealous eyes.

"Little ghost, isn't that position like you want to sit and sit, why don't you hurry up?" Su Lu saw Ruan Chi sitting in the first row of the guest seat, and he was also a little unhappy, and Nima Laozi sat in the second row. You nobody dare to run in front of Lao Tzu and sit?

"Uncle, I just like to sit here, how can I drop?" Ruan Chi wanted to stand up and leave. But as soon as Sulu said this, he couldn't help but sneer at each other, and simply sat still.

The aristocratic young man who opened his mouth just now to laugh at Ruan Chi for not understanding the rules frowned, and said coldly: "Where is the stupid boy who doesn't understand the rules?" Who invited you in? ”

"It's me!"

Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded, Diana stood up from Ruan Chi's side, crossed her waist and said, "I called the teacher, what's the matter?" ”

"Right...... I'm sorry Miss Strathra! Diana actually used the tone that Ruan Chi had just spoken to make the aristocratic young man speechless.

"Tell my teacher." Diana pointed at Ruan Chi.

The aristocratic young man's face suddenly turned red, and he said hesitantly: "Yes...... I'm sorry for this distinguished gentleman, I ...... I didn't know you were Miss Strathra's teacher. “

"Forget it, adults don't remember villains, I won't be like villains like you." Ruan Chi cocked Erlang's legs and looked at the aristocratic young man with a funny expression.

Being said like this, the aristocratic young man was naturally ashamed, but considering that Diana supported Ruan Chi, he didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing the aristocratic young man sitting back in a gloomy manner, Diana sat down satisfied, but at this moment, a voice full of majesty sounded, "Diana, why did you call this person?" ”

Although he was injured at the banquet the day before yesterday, after a brief treatment and two nights of rest, his spirit was obviously restored, and when he looked at his daughter's eyes, they were as sharp as two sharp swords.

Diana was not afraid of heaven and earth, in addition to ghosts, she was also afraid of the father in front of her, hearing Grand Duke Stra speak to herself, Diana stood up again and whispered: "Back to my father, Teacher Ruan Chi asked him to come over because he helped us capture that assassin." ”

"That kid helped capture the assassins?" An abrupt voice suddenly sounded, but it was a blonde-haired and blue-eyed young man sitting on the main seat, he looked at Ruan Chi with disdain in his eyes, obviously a little disbelieving that Ruan Chi could have the strength to capture the assassin.

Ruan Chi recognized this blond and blue-eyed young man, not the Goldman who had been kicked twice by Jialan, this person was the crown prince of the Kingdom of Okeen, the third largest country in the Free Federation, and the only young man sitting on the throne.

"Yo, aren't you that tease? How is it here? Ruan Chi recognized Goldman and said unceremoniously: "Does your butt still hurt?" ”

Goldman's old face flushed, recalling the appearance of the wolf who was kicked twice, and said angrily: "Boy, don't think that you are Miss Strathra's teacher, I won't kick you out, do you know who is sitting here?" ”

After saying that, Dan still raised his chest and got rid of his demeanor.

"Actually, I don't really want to stay here, since everyone doesn't welcome me, I'd better go." Ruan Chi shrugged and stood up, gesturing to leave.

"Teacher, I'll go if you go." Diana stood up and actually followed behind Ruan Chi.

I didn't expect the second middle school girl to be quite righteous, Ruan Chi looked at her with an angry expression on her face, and couldn't help but feel a little good in her heart, although this guy is stupid, and he is usually a little off the line, but he dares to speak for himself in front of his father at a critical time, which is really rare.

However, before Ruan Chi could walk out of the door, a person suddenly stopped them.

"Wait!"

The person who spoke turned out to be Gabrida, and Ruan Chi glanced back at him. Wait for him to speak.

Gabrielda smiled. Turning to the Grand Duke of Strathra, he said, "Old General." I personally invited this man, and he was the only one who had a conversation with Hannibal last night. Durrant has played against people, so we need his help. ”

As soon as these words came out, the nobles sitting there showed surprise on their faces.

Although Gabrielda was only sitting in the guest seat, his identity was that of the protégé of the Grand Duke of Stratha and the current commander of the Horn of Sparta.

In a certain way, Gabrielida's speech carries more weight than the average person.

Sure enough, after listening to Gabrida's words. Grand Duke Strathra pondered for a moment, and asked Saint Snowwin of the Storm, who was sitting beside him, "Your Excellency, was that what happened last night?" ”

"Yes, when I led the raid party to the Daredevil Wetlands last night, Hannibal and his Dream Circus members had already fled, and the only person who fought him at the time was this little brother." Snowwin touched his chin and smiled.

Even the famous Storm Saint said this, and the nobles looked at each other even more, and the eyes that looked at Ruan Chi became a little different.

"Your name is Ruan Chi, right? I didn't think the little brother had such a ability, and single-handedly cut off one of Hannibal's arms. Grand Duke Strathra nodded. looked at Ruan Chi and said.

Between the words, there was a bit of approval.

In fact, last night's thing. Archduke Stratha had already heard about it, and although he finally let Hannibal escape, one of the opponent's arms remained, indicating that last night's crusade was not a complete failure, at least seriously wounded the other party.

At first, Archduke Stralla himself thought that it was Snowen and Gabrida joining forces, but he didn't expect that the person who really did it would be the black-haired boy in front of him.

Although during the federal election, Grand Duke Stratha did not have a very good impression of Ruan Chi, but this did not prevent him from evaluating Ruan Chi now.

Archduke Stratha was also poor when he was young, and although he is now the second most powerful person in the Federation, he will not be as superficial as ordinary people when it comes to dealing with people.

What happened today made Grand Duke Stratha have such a thought, the black-haired boy in front of him is by no means an ordinary person.

Hearing her father praise Ruan Chi, the happiest person was Diana, she took Ruan Chi's hand and walked back again, and said with a smile: "Of course, my teacher is very powerful." ”

"Little brother, I'm sorry I didn't make the situation clear just now, please take a seat." Gabrielda laughed at this time.

To be honest, Ruan Chi didn't like the way these people did things, just now he had the opportunity to explain the situation in advance, but he had to wait for the last minute to say it, it was clear that it was up to him to laugh.

"Ruan Chi, go back and sit." Sydney was a little nervous when she saw Ruan Chi standing there motionless, she didn't expect things to be so stiff.

"Yes, teacher, let's go back and sit down, and leave those boring guys alone." Diana grimaced at the embarrassed Goldman, and then pulled Ruan Chi and said.

"Okay, I'll give you face." Ruan Chi glanced at the two women, followed and walked back to sit down.

Seeing this, Sydney finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to sit in the third and fourth rows of the back. She's just an investigator, where is where she should sit.

A small storm had finally come to an end, and the council chamber was now full of people who had participated in the meeting, and Archduke Stern, the master of the place, spoke first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after two nights of hard work, although the bureau we set up is not successful, but we have finally figured out who is behind the hollow murder that has occurred in the last two months. The people of Durrant, as to his identity and why he killed so many nobles, must be very curious to everyone. ”

Just as everyone pricked up their ears and waited for the result, a middle-aged man sitting next to Archduke Stratha came out and took over and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Archduke Stralla's butler, my name is Concho, and I have collected a piece of information about Hannibal. The life of this man in Durrant. ”

A group of maids came up and sent down the housekeeper's information, and everyone who participated in the meeting had a copy in their hands, even Ruan Chi was no exception.

The information is very thick, there are hundreds of pages, Ruan Chi flipped through it twice and didn't read it.

"Hannibal. Durrant should know that this person is also a nobleman, but the surname Durrant should not be well-known among the nobles of the Federation, and you may not have much impression of it. Let's change the name, I believe you will be more impressed. ”

The butler paused, and then said: "Durrant Chamber of Commerce, I don't know if you are familiar with this name, that's right, the former first federal chamber of commerce, the founder of the Dalat Chamber of Commerce, is called Hannibal. Durrant. ”

As soon as these words came out, the nobles present were in an uproar, obviously very familiar with the Durrant Chamber of Commerce in the butler's mouth, no, it can even be described as thunderous.

The Durrant Chamber of Commerce is a large cross-border chamber of commerce involving many trade business items, and it is involved in almost the entire human realm, and even in the remote north and south, those orcs and dwarves have its set up trade chambers.

This was about 20 years ago, when there was such a legendary merchant in the Kingdom of Victor, he was Hannibal, who founded the Durrant Chamber of Commerce. Durrant.

This person's ancestors were not nobles, his business was obtained by his hard work when he was young, this person is very talented in doing trade, relying on his hands, in just ten years, he created a business empire.

At that time, some people said that the reason why the Kingdom of Victor was able to become the second largest country in the Federation was due to the fact that in addition to the Duke of Strathra, a duke who was born as a military general, there was also a super merchant who was rich and rivaled the country.

However, even with his money, Hannibal was never a nobleman, and although he could donate money to obtain the title of Lord, it was known that a Lord was just a title and would not have his own fiefdom.

A nobleman without a fief is not a real nobleman, and although the Durrant Chamber of Commerce is rich, it is really because of this that he has attracted the catastrophe.

The incident happened about ten years ago, when Durrant, who was only in his early thirties, was arguably the most famous young talent in the Kingdom of Victor, and his life was at its peak.

In addition to his career, he also gained a sincere love, and he fell in love with someone he shouldn't love - a beautiful elven slave.

Ten years ago in the winter, his lover had added a big fat boy to him, but because of this, disaster befell him.

The love of different races was not accepted by the world, and Hannibal's wife happened to have been an elven slave.

It is also ironic to say that the nobles can buy and sell slaves of other races as if they were goods, but they are not allowed to get pregnant.

Because the children born of the union of different races were destined to be cursed children, and once the noble lords found out that the slave they had played with was pregnant, they would surely kill the poor slave woman and the child.

And the reason, simply because they don't want to be cursed, and they don't want to be discredited, so in the end only those poor alien slaves, and those unborn cursed children, are sacrificed. (To be continued......)
