Chapter 64: The Audience
After visiting this huge palace for most of the day, except for the four women in the team, Qin Lun and the others were a little tired. But the four of Illistin are more energetic, and women are really different from men.
"Are Leni and Miss Linda here, too?" Qin Lun stopped Emily who was bouncing around.
"Well, they moved in the day before yesterday." Emily said without thinking.
After Qin Lun and his party were invited by Annecilia at noon the day before yesterday, Leni and Linda followed the female knight directly. And Qin Lun and the others had to wait for the Silver Moon City Lord's reply, so they stayed in the hotel for another two days, and they were not accepted into the Supreme Palace by the Silver Moon Guards until the day when the celebration was about to begin.
Regarding Qin Lun's coercion at the moment of crisis, it is estimated that the lady of hope is still a little annoyed, otherwise she would not have waited until now to invite him into the palace. However, Mastaxia, who followed Qin Lun into the palace with him, was now surprisingly quiet, as if he had seen something, and he no longer asked Qin Lun to explain the clues he got that night on the farm.
"When will your mother meet me?" Qin Lun asked with a smile.
"I beg your pardon, Prince Ferrar! Because of the great celebration in the evening, she can't get out now, and I'm afraid she will have to wait after noon before she has time to meet you. Emily said with some restraint.
Qin Lun nodded slightly, the little girl didn't know what happened to her teacher. However, judging from her appearance, it seems that the Santarinhui assassin disguised as Angelo has not entered the palace at this time, and it is estimated that he will not appear until the last moment.
When it came to business, the four women who had been running around the palace just now finally lost their minds to play, and asked Emily to lead the way to the guest room where they were resting temporarily.
The rooms prepared for visitors in the Supreme Palace are luxurious and luxurious, with an area of almost 100 square meters, close to more than 300 square meters. The high-backed seat in brown wind fox skin contrasts with the red blood wood case.
In front of the ornate fireplace is a pure copper charcoal basin, and the house is covered with beautifully patterned tapestries. Behind the desk are two rows of quaint and elegant bookshelves, filled with hardcover books.
Waiting for the waiter to lead the way to exit the door, Qin Lun threw himself on the soft big bed, the vanilla bonsai on the bedside table exuded an intoxicating fragrance, and he quickly relaxed and fell asleep.
"Aggressive~" Qin Lun, who didn't know how long he had been asleep, was soon awakened by a regular knock on the door. The young maid at the door told him that the Lord of Silvermoon City was finally going to meet him.
In front of the sublime hall are two unicorn statues with their hind hooves colliding with each other, forming a stylized arch. Behind the arch is a silver staircase, at the end of which a throne resembling an Arhat bed looms.
The throne is silver-white, and the relief patterns on it are inlaid with many jadeites and precious stones, but it does not feel particularly luxurious, but has a simple and solemn beauty.
Qin Lun walked up the stairs, this time to meet the Silver Moon City Lord, several of his companions did not accompany him, perhaps because he did not inform them at all.
In front of the Silver Throne stood a tall, slightly plump woman. Seeing Qin Lun walking up the stairs, the beautiful woman didn't speak for a while, but just looked at the silver-haired elf carefully.
Qin Lun smiled and observed the supreme ruler of Silver Moon City in front of him with a clear gaze.
In contrast to the extravagant style of the Supreme Palace, Erastro himself looked very plain. The long hair was tied back with a copper headband, and the silky blonde hair was draped down like satin, and the sideburns showed obvious half-elf pointed ears.
Her face is not delicate, but it has a hint of maturity and charm. The thin eyebrows and Danfeng eyes curved like a willow moon made her look without the majesty of a city lord, but with a hint of maternal brilliance.
The years have not left too obvious marks on Erastro's face, and although she has given birth to many children, the well-maintained Lady Hope looks like a new wife at a glance.
She was draped in a white mage robe embroidered with elaborate lace, and the cuffs were tattooed with the emblem of the Star and Moon King. The proud chest is like a towering mountain, lifting the white robe high, and the round breasts at the V-neck ~ the ball reveals a white and smooth ~ moist, which makes Qin Lun can't help but look at it twice.
Compared with beautiful women such as Illistin and Idria, Qin Lun has to admit that the "Lady of Hope" in front of him can arouse the possessiveness of all men more, with a fatal temptation, like a sweet ~ juicy honey ~ peach.
"Prince Ferrar, welcome to Silvermoon City!" After a moment of silence, a smile finally appeared on Ayrs's charming face, and a sweet voice sounded in Qin Lun's ears, "Please forgive me for being slacking off in the past two days!" ”
"You are too polite, you came uninvited, and you have to be coerced for some reason, it's really ashamed!" Qin Lun pressed his palm to his chest and bowed respectfully.
Erasdra was slightly stunned, his eyes stayed on Qin Lun's face again, and he fell silent again for the time being. The two looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly smiled at each other tacitly.
"You're the finest young man I've ever met in the last ten years, so it's no wonder King Tynequeiras would give you the princely status of the inheritor." Erastro smiled and said, "I was angry at your behavior, but now that you are so frank and straightforward, I have no place to be angry, how do you think I should punish you?" ”
"You're laughing!" Qin Lun said respectfully, "Although the methods below are a little unbearable, there is nothing wrong with the intentions. What's more, the decision to form an alliance is always in the hands of you and King Tyne Quelas, so why bother with a junior's tricks! ”
"What a little slippery head!" Erasdra glanced at Qin Lun in a graceful manner, the sullenness in the Silver Moon City Lord's heart dissipated slightly, and he suddenly felt a little unrefreshed, leaned on the throne and supported his chin with one hand, and said with a lazy expression, "Okay, tell me what you found on that farm carefully, don't play tricks this time!" ”
Qin Lun glanced at the silver-clad guards standing on both sides of the palace, and when Erastro waved his hand to let the guards retreat, he lowered his voice and explained the events of that night, while telling his and Hill's speculations and speculations.
In fact, since Erastro recruited him into the palace, it means that he has agreed to his request and will officially introduce his plot identity at the celebration. If Qin Lun still refuses to reveal the truth at this time, I am afraid that he will really attract the disgust of the Silver Moon City Lord, which will not be conducive to the alliance between the two sides.
"Angelo is dead, can you be sure?" Hearing the news of Master Angelo's death, even Erastro's mind was momentarily distracted.
"I have experienced life and death with Master Angelo, and although I can only restore his body to five or six points of its original appearance, I am confident that I will not admit my mistake." Qin Lun said with a cautious expression, "What's more, judging from his identity, it is indeed very likely that he will be used by the Santarin Society." ”
"Well, it's my fault, I didn't expect to get Emily's teacher involved." Erastro's expression looked a little tired, and he waved his hand and said, "Filar, your news is very useful, if Santarin really arranged this kind of plan, I'm afraid that the defense measures I arranged in front of me will be in vain, it's really annoying!" ”
"Do you need help tonight?" Qin Lun asked cautiously.
"No, if I, the Lord of Silver Moon City, get the information, and I can't even settle this little thing, I'm afraid it will disappoint you!" Ayrs looked at Qin Lun with a smile.
"Don't dare, then I'll be waiting for your good news." Qin Lun lowered his eyebrows and looked like a good baby.
"Forget it, don't pretend! It is estimated that there will be some chaos at that time, I will send you a team of guards, remember not to run around, there are many magic traps in the palace. In case you get an arrow in the butt, don't blame me for not warning you. Erastro made a casual joke, and after a pause, he added, "And ...... Don't mention Anglo to Emily until this is over. ”
"It's not so reckless down here!" Qin Lun hurriedly agreed.
The Silvermoon City Lord pulled him to talk for a while, and found that the silver-haired elf had no other information to hide, and finally waved his hand and motioned for him to retreat.
……
"Qin Lun, have you seen Erasdror Silver Hand?" When Qin Lun returned to his residence, Hill's voice sounded in the team channel.
"Well, it's over." Qin Lun replied with a smile, "This Silver Moon City Lord is really as broad-minded as rumored, and he doesn't hold a grudge against my previous offense. You can't trust us, but at least you won't have any more grudges. ”
"Did you get us to cooperate?" Rand asked expectantly.
"No, as we guessed, she wouldn't let me, the elven prince, take that risk." Qin Lun said indifferently, "However, she assigned me a team of silver-armored guards. When the time comes, you can divide a few people to show you the way, and whether you can kill one or two high-level or legendary powerhouses of the Santarin Society depends on the luck of the two of you. ”
As the sun went down and the Supreme Palace began to be noisy, the number of guests and attendants increased, and one group of distinguished guests entered the greeting hall along the archway, and Erastro used the usual meeting hall as a banquet venue.
At this time, in all corners of Silvermoon City, people also began to sing and dance around the bonfire, drinking and partying. The Silver Moon Festival is a traditional festival in which the city celebrates a good harvest, with an all-night carnival that lasts until the early hours of the next morning at certain times of the year.
"Qin Lun, have you seen any members of the Santalin Society disguised as Mage Angelo?"
At this time, in the bell tower of a tall tower somewhere in the Supreme Palace, Qin Lun was holding the battlements and looking down. From his angle, he could see all the guests entering and leaving the palace.
"Nope!" Qin Lun frowned slightly, surprisingly, Angelo's pretender had not appeared in the field of vision, as if the Santarin Society had given up this operation.
