Chapter 120: Secret Talk

Night.

At the entrance of the town hall, beside the marble columns, there are richly decorated carriages. Men and women in long dresses, alone or arm-in-arm, walked towards the lobby of the town hall under the reception of the waiters.

The plain carpet was removed and replaced with an expensive red carpet. Long tables lined with white cloth flanked by marble columns, filled with sparkling fruits, tantalizing aromatic grilled meats and desserts, and brightly coloured wines and juices.

Today is the birthday of the mayor's wife, and most of the guests present are businessmen and political elites in Boulder City. Although most of the guests attending this banquet did not have the title of noble, the luxury of a single round banquet was not inferior to that of any count or grand duke in the kingdom in his own castle, and even the royal palace banquet could be compared to a single foot.

It's hard to imagine that at a time when this war has exhausted the power of the Rick Kingdom, these people can still enjoy the banquet time in luxury.

Standing among these people, Celita, who was wearing a long dress, felt uncomfortable.

Next to her, on the other hand, Sir Tours, seemed rather calm, speaking appropriately with the merchants who had come up with her, and ending the conversation at the right time.

"I was uncomfortable when I came here at first, but after a long time, I got used to it." Seeing the stiff smile on Cilita's face, Sir Tours glanced at the mayor and the mayor's wife standing at the door of the lobby, and said softly, "I'll go meet up with my old friend in a moment, and you can feel free to be here." ”

With that, Sir Tours walked in the direction of the banquet dance floor, leaving Cilita alone.

As the night deepened, the number of guests in the lobby gradually increased, and the atmosphere of the banquet gradually reached its peak.

Leaving the reception of the guests to his wife, Mayor Salos walked to the side door of the banquet hall, found his secretary, and said in a low voice.

"Did the wizard respond?"

After learning that the wizard had arrived in Boulder with Cilita's group, he panicked and prepared to abandon his plan for the day, until someone from the Thieves' Guild found him and left a secret letter on his desk, and he calmed down.

Banquets and plans continue as usual.

As for the wizard, the Thieves Guild will send a legendary assassin to solve it!

A legendary assassin, he is a strong man who has stepped into the Holy Order. Unlike all classes such as Swordsman, Knight, Ranger, etc., the Assassin is arguably the most difficult to surpass the flesh. The limit of the body, the profession of transcendent and holy stepping into the holy stage. Because it's not just about meat. The exercise of the body, as well as the tempering of the will, and the training of perception.

With some preparation, a master assassin is enough to assassinate a Juggernaut or Paladin who has stepped into the Holy Order. And the assassin who stepped into the Holy Order, the so-called legendary assassin, with his blocking of breath and ghostly body like a shadow, even a three-star wizard can kill with one hit!

Although he was surprised when the thieves' guild in Boulder City had a Holy Tier powerhouse like the Legendary Assassin, Salos did not suspect that the rats were lying. They're in the same boat, and now they've got a wizard involved, and if the plan fails, no one wants to be left alone!

Early this morning, he sent a servant from the town hall to deliver a letter to the inn outside the city, inviting the mysterious wizard to the feast.

"That wizard is not in Boulder City, saying that he went out early yesterday morning." The secretary nervously glanced in the direction of the banquet hall and replied in a low voice.

Salos's face was cloudy.

The secretary asked cautiously in an uncertain tone: "Do you want to continue?" ”

"You deal with the banquet first, I'll go to the backyard."

With that, Salos glanced back at the guests in the banquet hall and walked briskly towards the side door.

At this moment, on the dance floor, Miss Cilita, who was wearing a long dress, was surrounded by a group of people.

"Beautiful Miss Cilita, may I ask you to do a dance?"

"No, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable right now......" With a stiff smile on her face, Celita tried to make her refusal sound tactful, her eyes fixed on the mayor named Salos, consciously or unconsciously.

The merchants of the Industry Alliance, led by the Covidford family, were a major obstacle to the sending of reinforcements from Boulder to Sardiniferum, as Sir Tours had spoken to her yesterday. And this mayor, named Saros, is the head of the Covifort family.

I don't know why, looking at that man, Cilita always felt that something was wrong. It was obviously a birthday dinner for his wife, but he kept talking to his secretary over there, leaving the guests aside.

No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense.

Suddenly, she saw Saros walking towards the side door, and her heart moved slightly.

"I'm sorry, I'm feeling unwell, please allow me to leave."

Under the pretext of being unwell, she broke away from the men who had some intentions, and Cilita sneaked out of the banquet hall, and before leaving, grabbed a meat-cutting knife from the table and grabbed it in her hand.

She was curious.

At this time, Salos was exactly where he planned to go.

……

In the lounge next to the hall, Sir Tours sat on something like a sofa, and sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man dressed in a merchant's clothes, with a slightly fat figure and a gentle smile, looking innocent, but the two mung bean-sized eyes clearly flashed with shrewdness.

Rembert Karel, the head of the Karel family, is a prominent figure in Boulder's industry alliance, and himself serves as Chair of the City Council. As for Sir Tours's desire to talk to him, he initially refused, because he represented the interests of the industry alliance, and getting too close to the nobles representing the kingdom would cause many unnecessary suspicions.

However, after hearing the conditions offered by Tours, he changed his mind.

"I've already talked about it in the banquet hall before, so I'll get straight to the point," Sir Tours smiled at the old fox sitting across from him, "I have here a warrant signed by His Majesty himself, and it's about you." ”

"Don't tell me yet, let me guess," said Rembert, smiling innocently, leaning back on the couch, "...... As long as I'm in Parliament in favor of sending reinforcements to Sardiniburg, I'll be the master of this town hall when this war is over? Am I guessing right? ”

Turce smiled and nodded, "As the shrewdest merchant in Boulder City, I am impressed by your wisdom. ”

"Lord Sir is overrated, and in terms of cunning, I am still slightly inferior to Lord Mayor," Humbert Peel did not smile, "The villain admits that your offer is tempting, but it is ...... Can it be cashed in? ”

The atmosphere in the lounge was a little subtly stiff.

Hearing the meaning of Rembert's words, Tours' face did not change, but he smiled faintly.

"Do you think His Majesty will lose?"

"War is such a thing...... Who's to say? Lembert smiled.

"Your concerns are not unreasonable, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable for Your Majesty," after a pause, Sir Tours suddenly smiled mysteriously and continued, "but what if I tell you now that the Serejans have the support of wizards?" ”

"Oh? Is it. Rembert smiled, "Interesting story. ”

"The story? No, no, no, this wizard is out of the city right now, in fact, if you do a little bit of information, you can find out that the wizard is here from Valland City with Miss Cilita. Turce smiled and said, "Mr. Lembert, do you remember Saros's nephew?" ”

Rembert frowned slightly, still wondering why Tours mentioned Saros's nephew.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and his face changed slightly.

"You mean ......"

"That's right, that's a warning to the Cweft family." Turce said with a smile on his face.

The expression on Rembert's face was cloudy.

Salos had consulted with him about betraying the king, but had never told him that he was going to be an enemy of the sorcerer.

In half a month, parliament will discuss whether or not to send reinforcements to Sardinia, if he takes the lead in voting against it......

Cold sweat began to pour out of Rembert's forehead.

His eyes moved slightly, and he said cautiously, "Please allow me to go back and think about it." ”

Even if he was in a hurry, he had to make sure that what Sir Tours was telling was true before making a decision. If His Majesty really has the support of a three-star wizard, then it will be necessary for him to reconsider the future of the Karel family.

"I'm waiting for your reply, but better hurry." Sir Tours smiled.

He wasn't worried about what Rembert found out, because what he was saying, while not true, was not entirely false. Although Jiang Feng did not say that he would intervene in this war, he did come to this city with Xilita.

And no matter how much Rembert tries to find out, there will be no problem.

That's the end of the initial meeting.

Rising from his couch, just as Sir Tours was about to bid farewell to Speaker Humbert and return to the hall to enjoy the rest of the feast, there was a commotion outside.

Faintly, he heard plates shattering, men shouting, and women screaming.

"What's going on out there."

Also noticing the commotion, Speaker Rembert rose from the couch.

Feeling that something was wrong in his heart, Sir Tours frowned slightly.

At this moment, there was a dense footstep outside the hallway, and the sound of a vase being knocked over.

Then, without the slightest warning, the door of the lounge was kicked open with a slam kick......
