Chapter 62: Catch the Thief
After dealing with the distinguished guests of the Snow Castle family, Marlena is surrounded by her peers.
These young people who are qualified to wear medals, in addition to their own outstanding young people, there are also some heirs of powerful families. Some of the heirs of the side branches of the snow castle also came forward with their own thoughts to find out the truth of Marlena.
Although Marlena can also learn from Balot, find a quiet place to rest. But Warrent has announced his return in such a high profile, so he should also fulfill his responsibilities as the eldest daughter, and it is also necessary to know these peers, as the eldest daughter of the Duke's family.
The topics discussed covered various aspects, and the knowledge accumulated in the past and the knowledge that had recently been supplemented came in handy. In addition to knowledge, conversation skills are also important.
As the focus of the crowd, Marlena will give short but concise answers to what she knows, and will listen carefully in areas that she is not good at, nodding her head from time to time in response, so that the narrator can feel Marlena's respect.
But the direction of the topic has been passing around among others like a drum and a flower.
These young people are eager to turn this conversation into a stage for themselves and Marina, and lead the conversation to their areas of expertise.
This is an invisible war, although it is peaceful on the surface, but under the smiling face of everyone facing Marina, there is a filthy heart that wants to make others around them shut their mouths.
There is also a young man who deliberately does not come to the crowd, but drinks alone at the table next to him, humming a little song in his mouth, although the wind is calm on the surface, but in his heart he keeps muttering, words such as "Come and see!", hoping to get Marina's attention.
For Marina, it's like being in the center of a storm, safe but not going anywhere.
Help me!
Marlena is now even fantasizing that Su Wen or Ellie can suddenly appear and take herself out of this tragic battlefield.
However, these two people disappeared from Marina's vision after the banquet began, and it seemed that they had already anticipated what happened to Marina, and then specifically avoided them.
Marlena even wanted to ask Balotte for help, but Balotte also fled to her side of the world as soon as possible, watching Marlot's performance in the crowd with great interest.
Not to mention Lawson, who drank a lot of wine with a few good buddies at the beginning.
Warrent seemed pleased with Marina's performance, occasionally casting his eyes on the group of young men, occasionally showing a smile of satisfaction. In the face of so many outstanding young people, she still behaved calmly, and Marina's quality also exceeded his estimates.
Just then, a figure entered through the door and walked quickly towards Warrent.
It was none other than Warrent's right-hand man, Xiwen. His always calm face also looked a little anxious at this moment, and it was obvious that there was something urgent to report to Warrent.
When Warrent saw Xiwen's appearance, he vaguely expected that something was wrong. So he made an excuse and got up, and accompanied by David, came to a corner covered by a screen.
"Lord Duke, Mr. Su Wen said that there are assassins from the Black Rope Society who have mixed up in the garden...... Let's go over and deal with that. Xiwen didn't care about any etiquette, and went straight to the point, reporting the key points of the matter directly to Warrent.
Warrent's face sank, the organization of the Black Rope Society is very powerful, but at this moment, he dares to send someone to the Duke's Palace to make trouble, and he is too disrespectful to the duke of the Maleno Empire!
However, under the premise that the assassins have already blended into the garden, it is really useless to think about this problem, and the only way to do this is to quickly send people to catch those assassins of the Black Rope Society and avoid a commotion.
"Sven, keep the convoy on guard, David, come with me. ”
Warrent planned to go in person, because it was the safest way to let David, who was the number one master in the Duke's Palace, out, and David was actually Warrent's exclusive bodyguard, in order to take into account the efficiency of the enemy and the safety of Warrent, this was the safest.
What's more, Warrent is not a soft-footed shrimp who is powerless, and the duke's noble status often makes people ignore his strength as a warrior of the third golden order. Coupled with the powerful magical equipment he was wearing, ordinary assassins couldn't hurt Warrent.
Volent's departure was naturally not silent, after all, in this banquet, the focus of countless pairs of eyes was focused on Warrent, who was the duke.
However, Warrent did not show any panicked expression when he left the table, and most people only thought that he had gone down to prepare the closing speech, and only a small part of it was associated with other things with Xiwen, who had just come in in a hurry.
Marlena was still surrounded by young talents, and she had no time to notice that her father had left, and she didn't know that the Black Rope Society, which had received a mission to assassinate her, had also quietly appeared.
Warrent came out of the side door of the banquet hall in a hurry, and happened to meet Su Wen who was waiting at the door, so he stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Su Wen said...... Have an assassin infiltrated the garden?"
Su Wen nodded, but before he could speak, he was robbed by Volrent again.
"Thank you Mr. Su Wen for informing us, let's handle the next things, so I won't bother Mr. Su Wen. Mr. Su Wen was also invited to enjoy the banquet to the fullest. ”
Warrent called Mr. Su Wen one by one, if he knew that Marlena called him Su Wen in private, I don't know how he would feel.
"But ......"
"I understand Mr. Su Wen's kindness, but this is in the snow castle, and it is my obligation to deal with these things. ”
"They've already come......"
"What!" Warrent was startled, and hurriedly looked around, ready for battle. David on his side also stretched out his right hand and began to gather magic power.
This was probably the first time that Su Wen had clearly seen the advanced skills of the powerhouses in this world using magic power.
"Hmm......"
As soon as Su Wen wanted to say something, he heard a strange sound from the flower garden not far away. Obviously, there's something in that place.
David also aimed the spell he had woven in his hand at the grass, unlike Su Wen's ice picks or phenomenal spells such as gale, what David had in his hand was pure magical energy, which felt like a skill similar to an arcane missile.
"The ......"
As soon as Su Wen said two words, a head came out of the flower garden.
It's Ellie.
Warren let out a long sigh of relief and felt a false alarm. David was more embarrassed, so he could only quietly retract the hand aimed at Ellie, and then dispersed the magic in it.
Ellie came out and patted the leaves on her body, and behind her, the rustling didn't stop. Just as Warrent was puzzled, four men of different identities squeezed out of the flowerbed with stiff steps, and then stopped in front of the three of them.
"It's done, it's really troublesome. ”
