Chapter 8: Assassination
When it comes to lunch, it's really very humble, and a luncheon or a wine party is more suitable for such a title.
Instead of leaving the capital building, he took the elevator down to the ten floors of the building, and as the elevator door was pushed open, the lights were brilliant and shining, and all kinds of hard-to-see liquor on the market were placed in one place, and the waiters shuttled back and forth with wine glasses.
The food, almost all of which can be seen on the Lolante, all kinds of lamb chops in Tallinn, charcoal-roasted bacon in the Autumn Forest District, many desserts in the Spring Forest District, and roast goose in the Winter Forest District are all placed on the long table, and in the middle of the field, a bonfire has been set up, and a whole white cow is being carried to the grill.
The brush, stained with golden oil, slowly and carefully brushed the cleaned cow's body, and when the grease came into contact with the flame, it immediately made an appetizing sound.
Ye Qi glanced around, shrugged his shoulders and walked to the corner with the female cavalry captain and the chameleon, he completely lost interest in such a drinking party in the name of lunch.
The female cavalry commander also frowned slightly, but she was thinking about other aspects: "This kind of luncheon, with less than twenty people attending, is a bit wasteful!" β
The chameleon apparently saw the female cavalry commander's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "This is a gesture, which shows respect for the guests and the sincerity of the host...... However, the helper found by the speaker of Desa was not ordinary, at least, it would definitely take a lot of effort to find the white bull! β
The white bull, which represents holiness on Lorante, is not holiness in the general sense of the Holy See. Rather, it is in a broad sense. Even. In various myths and legends, the white bull is the best gift to the gods, to appease the wrath of the gods, and to pray for endless glory.
Although it is the 252nd year of the free calendar at this moment, and the age of the gods has long disappeared, I don't know how long it has been, but this does not mean that the white bull has no value, on the contrary, its value is getting higher and higher, after all. At the banquets of some nobles and wealthy people, the presence of such food has become a status symbol.
Ye Qi sat aside, patted the back of the female cavalry commander's hand, and said with a smile: "Moreover, they are very careful and cautious!" β
Being on the 10th floor underground is enough to explain some problems; However, these problems had nothing to do with Ye Qi, he only needed to take the two ladies to this luncheon for now, and then leave; As for the rest? Naturally, it was handed over to the new Speaker de Sa to deal with.
Undoubtedly. The female cavalry commander and chameleon knew Ye Qi's thoughts well, therefore. Even when the luncheon began, the two of them were by Ye Qi's side, even the food and wine were brought over by the waiter, as if this was a spring outing, eating their own, and the people around them were irrelevant.
However, it was obvious that even if they did this, Ye Qi and his party would not be able to avoid that line of sight; Among them, the eyes of the rich and famous people who belonged to the highest government who were sitting on the right side were particularly curious, and they were all exploring Ye Qi's origin; Or cast a curious look at the chameleon - although the chameleon has enough prestige to appear at the previous inauguration ceremony, but appearing here is undoubtedly a bit of an identity mismatch.
No matter how famous he is, he is just an actor who relies on his appearance and voice, how can he attend a luncheon with them?
There are definitely not a few such thoughts, but none of the people who were able to attend this luncheon were fools, and they all had a lot of patience to explore and ask about something, rather than recklessly letting themselves suffer unnecessary losses.
Ye Qi was satisfied with this.
Those inquiring eyes, although they think that they are well disguised and do not know the ghosts, but it is still very impossible to hide Ye Qi's words, it is not impossible, it has nothing to do with status, just because of strength; Maybe these people have the wealth of the country and the jaw-dropping status, but in terms of strength, that is, ordinary people, and even, a few are not even as good as ordinary people.
For ordinary people, Ye Qi always has an unimaginable tolerance.
However, this is only Ye Qi alone, and the rest of the people who sit on the left side, representing the mysterious side of the dark world, naturally give a contemptuous look at these people - the people who represent the dark world world on the mysterious side, they all have their own criteria, they care more about strength, than money and status; Or in their view, strength is about money, status.
And people who only have money and status but no strength, that position is naturally unstable, and it is undoubtedly the best ATM.
On the mysterious side, in the dark world, there are definitely not one or two people who are bold and reckless.
Thus, when the luncheon began, there was a strange atmosphereβone group of people looked at the other group of people with inquiring eyes, and this group of people looked at the group in front of them as if they were looking at a commodity.
And this atmosphere only eased after the appearance of the new Speaker.
"Guys, I'm so sorry, I took care of some things...... It's late! β
As he spoke, Speaker de Sar took up his glass and drank a full one; And all the people present raised their glasses one after another, showing a smile of understanding - Dessa's late arrival was expected, and the people who were arrested before, as well as the people who might emerge, undoubtedly needed him to deal with, even if it was only to check one result, it would take quite a long time; Being able to arrive within fifteen minutes of the start of the luncheon already shows that Desa takes the people present seriously.
With the arrival of the host of the luncheon, the whole atmosphere immediately rose to a higher level, and the rich and famous people gathered around Desa to raise their glasses and talk about something; Dessa coped with a smile on his face; And the people on the mysterious side and the dark world are in their own small circle, watching everything coldly.
Even the tower master of the holy relics did not have the slightest intention of blending in, this tower master did not take the wine glass at all, but took a bottle in one hand, and poured it with a 'bang' to bite the cork, and such a 'vulgar and rude' act naturally made the people who gathered together disdain, and they all sneered in return.
"The sheep are laughing at the lion...... Tsk, pathetic fellows! β
The strange wolf commented so in Ye Qi's heart. And Ye Qi rarely had no rebuttal. He nodded. In a peculiar chanting way: "The ridiculed does not care, not because of timidity, but simply because of ignorance...... But who can understand that such ignorance is not forbearance, but a form of compassion? They don't understand, so they don't understand, and therefore, continue to laugh. Finally shattered! β
The strange wolf rolled his eyes and said, "Don't take other people's poems as your own!" β
Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm just quoting, I don't mean anything else...... Or do you think that we are eating that white bull in the same sense as the white bull that was given to you for sacrifice? β
The strange wolf snorted coldly and said, "Of course it's different!" It's just some food without the light of the Holy Spirit, how can it be a sacred thing to sacrifice to us...... But even so, you guys who participated in the slaughter of the white bulls, and ate them, should be punished! β
Ye Qi pursed the corners of his lips and said, "Come on, it's a free calendar." The gods are long gone...... If, you want to taste the cow. I can help you find one or two; But what is the light of the Holy Spirit? β
The strange wolf snorted, "I don't need food like this...... As for the Holy Spirit? What are you prepared to give? β
Ye Qi asked rhetorically, "Aren't two white bulls enough?" How much do you eat? β
Strange Wolf reiterated: "I don't need food like this - I mean the deal, our deal!" β
Ye Qi thought about it very solemnly, and then shrugged his shoulders: "Forget it, I'm just curious, it's not worth what I pay!" β
When Ye Qi was contemplating and thinking, the strange wolf was still wondering, could this be the rhythm of unintentionally completing a big business, and when Ye Qi replied, he realized that this was completely Ye Qi joking with it; Obviously, this contractor has no intention of trading at all.
"You scoundrel!" After the strange wolf snorted, he suddenly said, "That intelligence dealer just exchanged news with the person lurking here...... Ninety percent of the people involved in the sabotage of the inauguration ceremony were basically killed or caught, but they still have a secret agent here, waiting for the opportunity to move! β
Ye Qi laughed: "The preparation is so comprehensive!" β
The strange wolf said disdainfully: "It's still the old routine of poisoning and assassinating - the way of assassins is always so simple!" β
Ye Qi said with great importance: "Simple, has it been proven effective soon?" Historically, there have been countless kings, grand dukes, or high-ranking people of various powerful forces who have been killed in this way! β
The strange wolf continued its opinion, and it snorted coldly: "My own life has been lost, what is the use of such a simple and effective?" β
Ye Qi sighed softly and said slowly: "Assassin, not a killer - the latter will flee thousands of miles if he misses a blow, while the former comes with the belief that he will die with the enemy...... Lives may be lost, but there are no regrets, this is the belief of the Assassins! β
The strange wolf asked curiously: "You have a good impression of such a person?" β
Ye Qi shook his head and said: "It's not a good feeling, but respect-people who fight with their lives deserve respect!" β
The strange wolf monster laughed: "What if you are enemies? Will you let him go? β
The assassin who appeared here at this moment, although it was to assassinate Speaker Dessa, but Ye Qi naturally couldn't ignore it when he knew the truth, whether it was the other party's intention to invite him, or the form between the supreme government and the demon hunter at the moment, Ye Qi had a reason to take care of it.
And this is undoubtedly the opposite of the assassin who fought with his life in Ye Qi's mouth.
"Of course not!"
Ye Qi said very simply, he said word by word: "He has his beliefs, and I also have my beliefs - even if he is respectful, he will not go against his beliefs!" β
The strange wolf looked like he had expected it, and snorted softly: "It's all a reason guy!" After a pause, it continued: "That's, that's right, the guy standing at the table right now, the assassin you call it...... Next, it's time for your beliefs to collide! β
There was a hint of schadenfreude in the words of the strange wolf, and he looked like he was watching a good showβin fact, it was also the case that the strange wolf was once a god. Everything at the moment. Isn't it just drama? Although Desa has now become the speaker of the supreme government. But in the strange wolf, it is a mortal one; Even, it is precisely because Desa has the status of the speaker that he has the qualifications to let it watch.
And Ye Qi's gaze swept over the man who was dressed like a waiter, without any pause - the other party had undergone a certain amount of training, but it did not represent the slightest fluctuation of 'strength strength', that is to say, the other party did not have a special strength strength, only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
But. It's so slightly stronger, but it makes Ye Qi's eyes squint slightly.
After all, for an Assassin, concealment and hiding before moving are more important than strength; What's more, the target he wants to assassinate, although his status is noble, but his strength is not as good as that of ordinary people, even if there are many people with 'strength' as guards, but once he is mixed in. Who would be interested in an ordinary person?
I looked at the people around me who represented the mysterious side and the dark world, and walked past each other. If you don't care about it, you will understand the truth - it's not that their strength is not strong enough, but because they are indeed strong, they will have such a misunderstanding.
People as powerful as us come together, if it's not really strong, who would dare to assassinate?
Unfortunately, the Assassin, or the man who hired the Assassin, had grasped this idea!
Subconsciously, out of the corner of Ye Qi's eye, he glanced at Archbishop House, who was talking to a few people in a low voiceβcould the mastermind behind the scenes be him?
Ye Qi thought so.
At this time, Speaker Desa said a few words to the people around him apologetically, and walked towards the corner where Ye Qi and the two ladies were with a wine glass; And the waiter, who had been weaving through the crowd to pour the wine, happened to be walking to the other side, where Archbishop House was waving.
Speaker Desa and the attendant were not in the same direction, but they were not parallel either, and at their speed they would meet at a point in about a few seconds; Even, the waiter had already made a respectful expression towards Speaker Dessa, just like the other attendants around him.
Speaker de Sar was not guarded, and in his opinion it was the safest place, and he had no need to worry at all; Therefore, the new Speaker, who was not strict, nodded to the waiter very kindly, so naturally he would not see a small, double-holed, like a pistol made of ivory appear in the other hand, just as the two were about to pass by.
At this time, a wisp of murderous aura appeared irrepressibly!
The inviters belonging to the mysterious side of the hall were stunned, looking for the source of the murderous aura, and the eyes of the tower master of the holy relic instantly locked on the waiter's body, shouting: "Be careful! β
Before the cry fell, the whole person rushed over; However, he came to a sudden halt in mid-air - because there was no need for him, and beside the assassin, a figure suddenly appeared.
The assassin, disguised as a waiter, pulled the trigger without hesitation as soon as he peeked his pistol out of his sleeve, but the gun did not go off.
The pocket pistol, which seemed to be no different from the craft, started from the head of the gun, as if it was wrapped in a pair of invisible hands, and with a sharp effort, it broke down into a single partβthe sharp feeling was fleeting, fast, and very accurate, and the parts that the gun fell to the ground had a smooth and flat cut, and even the assassin's hand was not hurt in the slightest.
"There are assassins! There are assassins! β
Such a shout rang out in the next moment, filling the entire luncheon scene, these people, who had been personable before, were not only pale at the moment, but also extremely panicked, quickly looking for a place where they could hide, and even the new speaker of the Desa had a stiff face, after all, he was the one who was going to be assassinated.
The people on the mysterious side of the mystery still didn't care about the Lord of the Tower of the Relic, and the rest of the people had a little ugly on their faces, and they were all thinking about what kind of reproach they would suffer if Desa was successfully assassinated in front of them - the Supreme Government would definitely be at odds with them, and their names would be widely known because of this assassination, bringing countless stains to their reputations.
When people mention them, they say, 'Look, this guy let the new Mr. Speaker get killed by an ordinary man in his banquet hall!' ''Poor Mr. Speaker, if I were here, there would never be such a thing!'' β
This is almost certain, especially some of their enemies, naturally they will not be stingy with such an opportunity to discredit them.
Therefore, these representatives on the mysterious side instantly surrounded the Speaker behind them, and looked at the assassin who had lost his ability to move with unkind eyes - in an instant, several abilities such as paralysis, restraint, freezing gas, venom, etc., made this well-trained assassin completely paralyzed on the ground, unable to even blink an eye.
"How could such a bloody thing be done...... My Lord will not forgive such a Lamb. β
Archbishop House, with a holy face and angry eyes, stepped forward and stood in front of the assassin, shouting, "Don't tell me where you come from, so as to atone for your sins!" β
