It's not that Allen doesn't want to assassinate Des Hepburn, but he is self-aware, and with his current situation, I'm afraid that it will be a question of whether he can sneak into the Papal Palace and see Dis Hepburn. You must know that the Templars guarding the Papal Palace are all extremely powerful, and they are really so many as many swordsmen as dogs that high-level swordsmen walk all over the ground, far from being comparable to their own defense when they robbed the execution ground. What's more, others may not know, but he knows that Dith Hepburn himself is also a great swordsman, even if he can get close to him, it may be difficult to assassinate a great swordsman, unless he can make this great swordsman unable to use his fighting energy.

Can't use vindictiveness?

Alan's heart moved.

"The employer also knew that assassinating Des Hepburn was an impossible task, so he would offer us a chance to get close to Des Hepburn. Four months later, on September 7, it was the birthday of DS Hepburn. In order to curry favor with him, the Southern powers either personally or sent emissaries to Winston to congratulate him on his birthday, and our employers sent representatives. At the birthday of Tees Hepburn, representatives of all forces will toast him, this is the best and only opportunity, as long as we can grasp this opportunity, the situation on the mainland will be reversed. ”

Seeing that Alan had been groaning and not answering himself, Hollanster continued.

"My lord, let me think about it before replying to you. ”

Alan didn't say yes right away.

"It's fine. You go back and think about it, after all, this matter is too risky, if you don't want to, I'd rather sacrifice the lives of thousands of soldiers than force it. ”

Hollanster said righteously.

Coming down from Castle Ogu, Alan only stayed at Steven's house for one night, and the next day he headed for Iron Pine.

"Call Sergey and Fresnel. ”

As soon as Alan arrived home, he immediately ordered the servants to call the two elves. The two elves are still nominally protecting Ellen, but in fact they don't dare to show up often, most of the time they are in retreat, and they don't play a role at all, Alan originally wanted them to go back to the elven forest, Sergei was a little shaken, but Fresnel insisted on staying, and Sergei could only stay with him in the end, but the elves were very accustomed to this simple and dull life, and there was nothing uncomfortable.

"Great Elder, what are you looking for us?"

I hadn't seen Alan for a while, and although Fresnel spoke in a very respectful tone, her beautiful eyes were full of joy.

"I wanted to ask you about the Thunder Vine Toxin. ”

Alan gets straight to the point. When Horranst proposed the task of assassinating the sect emperor S. Hepburn, the first thing he thought of was the thunder vine toxin, because only this toxin could suppress the fighting spirit of the great swordsman and give him a chance to assassinate successfully, so the characteristics of the thunder vine toxin determined whether he could take on this task.

"Thunder Vine Toxin, what is the Great Elder asking for?"

Fresnel asked, slightly surprised.

"It's nothing, recently the pharmacy factory wants to prepare a new drug, and I want to see if it can be used for it. ”

Alan replied in a hesitant tone.

"Although the elves have an upright personality, they are not stupid, and if the Great Elder does not tell us the truth, we will refuse to answer. ”

"Okay. ”

Allen, who knows a lot about the stubborn character of elven beauties, can only compromise and tell the truth about the task of assassinating the Pope.

"We're going with you. Otherwise..."

Fresnel's beautiful face reveals an uncompromising stubbornness.

"Okay, okay, can you tell me now?"

Alan could only nod helplessly in agreement.

"Thunder Vine Toxin is the most peculiar of the known toxins on the continent, he is harmless to ordinary people, and only has a restraining effect on the fighting spirit of swordsmen..."

Fresnel began to start from the beginning, and although Alan had known these contents for a long time, he did not interrupt him, and still listened patiently, until she finished introducing them, and then asked:

"What are some of its uses?"

"Because the plant is very rare and the toxin is very complex to refine, the usual method used is to apply the toxin directly to the wound and use the least amount of toxin. ”

"Is there any other way to use it?"

Alan asked. Forget about the method of smearing on the blade, he is not an old man Hepburn, stabbing Des Hepburn is almost as difficult as assassinating him, and the opportunity to assassinate Dis Hepburn is fleeting, and it is almost difficult for him to have a second chance.

"It can also be used orally, but the dosage is larger, and it is rarely used. ”

"How much do you need to take it orally? Do you have enough on you?"

Alan was waiting for this sentence, so he hurriedly asked.

"I don't know the exact amount, and I may need to ask Elder Clive to be sure. ”

Fresnel turned his head to look at Sergei, who was shaking his head, apparently he didn't know the amount of toxin to be used.

"Take the toxin out and show me. ”

Clive is far away in the Elven Forest, so the question of dosage Alan can only put it aside for now.

"Give. ”

Fresnel pulled out a vial that he had brought with him and handed it to Alan.

Alan opened the vial, which contained a few drops of green liquid.

"If this thing is put in wine, will anyone find it?"

Alan couldn't help frowning at the sight of the liquid that shimmered with a strange light, and he put the bottle under his nose and sniffed it, an indescribable strange smell made his brow furrow even tighter. Without two elves answering, the answer seems to be clear, unless the user is blind and has a stuffy nose, it will be found immediately.

"Is there a solution to this problem?"

Alan asked with a little disappointment after handing the vial back to Fresnel.

"Not sure. But Elder Clive is an expert in this area, and he may have a solution. ”

"Looks like we're going to go to the Elven Forest. Without further ado, we set off at once. ”

------------------------

A month later, in the study of the Château d'August, Hollander was pacing up and down the edge of the long table, looking distraught.

"Hasn't Alan answered the head of the house yet?"

Quentin, who was sitting on the sidelines, asked.

"I don't think Gerald's plan works, although Alan is very interested in assassinating Dece Hepburn, but after all, it is too difficult, and he is not a fool, how can he risk his life to gamble?"

Hollanster stopped and sighed. The idea of assassinating Des Hepburn was the brainchild of Gerald, and even the mission to assassinate Des Hepburn was forged by the Hepburn family. If Allen died at the hands of the Holy See because of the failed assassination of Dis Hepburn, then Holranster would not have to bear any responsibility, let alone worry that Allen's forces in the ancient city of Otoku-Gubang would rebel, and he could even take all Allen's forces into his hands in the name of avenging Allen. Moreover, Hollanster has always believed that Allen will do whatever it takes to destroy the Holy See, and although the assassination of Dees Hepburn is very risky, if it succeeds and the one with the lowest cost, otherwise it may be a continuous war and a loss of life. So he judged that Alan would definitely choose this method in the end, but who knew that after he communicated with Allen, Allen didn't give him a clear answer for a full month.
