Normally, Assassins did not issue a circular when assassinating a target, as this would alert the target and make it much more difficult to assassinate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But in the very few politically related assassinations, some employers ask for this. In a political assassination, the employer's goal is not to kill someone, but to achieve a specific political goal through the assassination, and in such cases, the panic is even more effective, and once the political goal is achieved, the employer will often revoke the assassination order.

The parchment and its contents were familiar to Coria, and it was definitely the work of the Assassin Guild. The problem was that often a few days after the ultimatum was sent, the Employers would try to get the Assassins to express their intentions, but the circular was a few days ago, and Coria still hadn't figured out what the other party's purpose was.

The intelligence department of the inner city palace, Coria paced back and forth in the room. She kept Helena and her children in her manor without telling Leah, and invited Lin Qiu and Alyssa to come here to discuss this important issue in detail.

She still felt that Her Majesty Ria was overly optimistic, and this kind of assassination operation that couldn't even figure out the other party's intentions was the most difficult to deal with.

"Her Majesty Ria has carried out several reforms since she came to the throne, and although the results of the reforms have been gratifying, they have also offended some old aristocratic forces in the process, in addition to this, I have learned that some merchants have complained about her placement of Divine Bird cultists, and that there are still a few members of the Brotherhood in the royal capital who oppose the existence of the Empress. ”

This is all the information that Coriya has sorted out in the past few days, among which the nobles and wealthy merchant class who are most likely to arrange the assassination are naturally, but the investigation work stops there, there are four big nobles who have suffered losses due to Liya's policies, and the businessmen cannot be counted.

"Perhaps...... The other party has no purpose at all, just hoping to create panic with this?" Lin Qiu tried to analyze based on the information gathered by Ke Liya. The Chaos Cult's target was Phoenix, and although the bishop of the Divine Bird Cult brought a group of cultists to the Kingdom of Talen, there was no trace of Phoenix among them, and the old "slime" of the Chaos Cult retreated to target Luna.

But what are they doing to trouble Leah and the Kingdom Army? This is also what Lin Qiu couldn't figure out.

"Not true. ”

Alyssa shook her head, she had the most say on the issue of the Chaos Cult: "Every action of the Chaos Cult is accompanied by careful planning, after the peace of the Hundred Years War, they are still operating in various regions, in the past ten years, the assassinated Grand Duke is 5 people, the crown prince is 2, and several actions have provoked local wars. Three of these tribes were slaughtered by the angry king, and six were exiled. ”

If she hadn't served as the chief of guard of the imperial capital, she would probably never have known the news of these local wars, and she would not have expected that the crisis in Herutia had not stopped because of the end of the war.

"Every time the Chaos Cult appears, it has an extremely obvious purpose, and even if they want to assassinate Empress Ria, they must hope to achieve something that we have not thought of through the death of the Empress. ”

"That's the problem. Lin Qiu said.

Generally speaking, knowing the other party's purpose can deduce the result and purpose step by step, or knowing the other party's purpose can also guess and prevent their next actions. But now they know each other's actions and each other's goals, but the two are incompatible.

"I should have known that I should have captured that 'slime' old man alive!" Lin Qiu regretted it, after experiencing a defeat, the people of the Chaos Sect must have gone into hiding, and it was obviously unrealistic to find out a few people in the Great Talon Kingdom.

"Her Majesty Ria has decided to set up a banquet tomorrow and invite all the nobles of the royal capital to introduce you to everyone. Coria changed her words and said.

"Tomorrow?"

Knowing that the Assassins were currently in the background, the execution of the banquet was undoubtedly an opportunity for the Assassins to hide in the shadows, and if the Chaos Cult really reached an ulterior agreement with a nobleman, it would be easy to bring the Assassins into the banquet hall.

"Your Majesty has sent an invitation to the nobles, and in addition to that, she has given a specific advice. ”

Coria paused and paused before saying, "The theme of the banquet is masquerade, and everyone will wear masks like I just did...... She probably wanted to lure the Assassins out in this way, but this time she's giving you her life, so don't let her down, Tyr. ”

"Hmm...... Is this empress really a child?" exclaimed Helena, who was wandering around, just in time for this scene.

Coriya's reputation in the inner city was very high, and she casually asked a few guards, who pointed him here, and her words revealed a deep longing. As a member of the Assassins' Guild, Coria's intelligence skills are an example of overkill in this small border country.

Although the Senate played dead en masse when the Assassin Guild invaded, they still knew all about Corria's origins, including the fact that she was the illegitimate son of the Kanna family.

"It's a blessing. "Helena was very friendly.

Coria looked at the smiling woman, who had been interested in Helena since the fair. With her understanding of Lin Qiu, except for children like Anna and Rose, who came out to play during the holidays, all of them were prominent.

"Oh, this man. ”

Lin Qiu thought for a moment and said, "She is one of the leaders of Herutiya, who claims to do clerical work. ”

......

Sure enough, the people who are with you are all monsters!

"Then again, I'll keep an eye on everyone who comes in and out of the banquet, and the other captains should be on standby, but if the opponent is beyond our range, the Empress will be in your hands...... After all, you are her most trusted teacher. ”

"Don't worry, Coria. ”

He failed to protect King Ryan at the beginning, which is also Lin Qiu's heart disease all along, since King Ryan's assassination, he has traveled so many places and challenged countless enemies far beyond him, just so that the tragedy at that time would not be repeated. His duel with the Sith began in the kingdom of Talen, and now he is back with a group of trusted companions.

And the person he protected also changed from the king to his daughter, Leah.

"This time, even if the Sith himself comes, I'll kick him out of the inner city. ”

"Since you've said so......," Alyssa stood up, the golden sword and shield on her shoulder glittering in the afternoon sun, "we will certainly protect the Empress's well-being—in the name of the Church." ”
