Chapter 379: The Rules of the Banquet

There were four captains in the kingdom army of the kingdom of Talen, but Leah learned the lesson of her father and divided the power into four parts, thus forming the current structure of the royal capital - Coria, who controls the intelligence department and is responsible for eliminating all hidden dangers in the secret, Salfin, the think tank of the kingdom army and controls the vast majority of the power to deploy soldiers, Julius, who maintains the security of the towns around the royal capital, and Ziegler, the chief of the palace guard who is responsible for the security of the royal family.

The Assassin's infiltration into the inner city and the near-assassination of him was undoubtedly a dereliction of duty on the part of Captain Ziegler, but he was now the one of the nobles with the most laughing heart. Lin Qiu felt that this rugged man really had a big heart, and if he had a king who liked to be calculating, he would have been blasted out by now.

"I've sent my men to follow up on the leads. Coria continued.

Compared to the nobles, Captain Ziegler was probably the least aware of aristocratic etiquette. Before Leah succeeded to the throne, he was not even a minor nobleman, this man rejected King Ryan's kindness after the war, and went incognito in a small town in the Kingdom of Talen, until he was shocked to hear the news of King Ryan's assassination, and he returned to the royal capital.

"The Empress is so courageous!" said Captain Ziegler, but for those who had lived through the Hundred Years' War, "almost being killed by an arrow" was not a big spectacle, and King Ryan had been hit by numerous arrows during the war, and had faced enemies several times his number, but the king survived and single-handedly established the kingdom of Taron.

"What Captain Ziegler said is that I have also been very optimistic about Her Majesty from the beginning. Moore Powell agreed politely, his eyes never looked at Lin Qiu from beginning to end, as if the person who had just "reported" Isai Hayvog and Captain Ziegler behind his back was not him. Finally, he added, seemingly casually, "Of course, it would be nice not to have this disappointed Assassin." ”

Said the Assassin. The head of the Isai family habitually touched his mustache and said, "My unsuccessful son seems to have met a suspicious old man in Shanlu Town...... Of course, I've already reported this matter to Captain Coria in advance, and I really hope to catch that spoiling assassin as soon as possible. ”

The two seem to be condemning the Assassins, but in fact they are passing the buck to their own suspicions, and they are saying things that are insignificant and of no real help.

This was the norm for the banquets of the upper nobles, and the nobles adhered to such a game, and even if they had long been dissatisfied with someone, they would smile and toast with each other, chatting passionately, while thinking in their hearts how to put small shoes on him, or simply find someone to assassinate him.

These three people seemed to be the most suspicious, but they gave Lin Qiu the illusion that this matter had nothing to do with them.

But......

After many policies Leah has introduced, the inner city is more vibrant than ever, yes, but it's not just anyone who has nothing to do with it that can swagger in—especially at such a sensitive time. The Assassins were able to infiltrate the inner city, and even shot an arrow at the heavily guarded palace, indicating that the Assassins had infiltrated the inner city. It could be a maid serving food, a working servant, or a guard on duty.

With the way the Chaos Cult acts, they are always able to infiltrate the center of power in a kingdom and corrupt it from within. They may be able to mend their swords at a critical moment, but they will never be similar to the Sith who carried a scythe into the inner city alone at the beginning.

Lin Qiu was happy that this would happen - he, Alyssa and Helena, and the First Knight Maran Fuyin, who didn't know where the ambush was, if the Sith really did this, then the person who was finally pressed to the ground and rubbed must be the Sith himself.

However, the Sith is arguably the epitome of scheming, and he is one step ahead of everyone - the Chaos Cult's target is clearly Phoenix, but the group is worried about the Empress's safety.

Lin Qiu had a hunch that the people sent out by Ke Liya might find nothing.

"No one is allowed to mention the Assassin today. Leah put a grimace at the end of the conversation between Isai and the others.

She preferred that this was a private welcome party, but Ke Liya repeatedly insisted on the importance of banqueting the nobles, and even said that this was what Lin Qiu meant.

Although she only had half a day to prepare, Ria prepared the biggest banquet, but unfortunately the atmosphere of the banquet was far from what she expected. She only had to look at the constipated expressions of those young nobles, and she would be angry with a nameless fire in her heart!

"You're making such a fuss. ”

Lin Qiu felt that there was no substantial gain from listening to these nobles playing Tai Chi any longer, so he pretended to be indifferent, waved his hand and said. This is the way of a hero or a master - even if he is almost out of breath when the poisoned arrow comes in, he still has to show a calm appearance.

In order to testify to his words, he also pointed to the simple Anna and Rose: "You see, even these two children are much calmer than you. ”

Although Anna and Rose hadn't figured out the situation yet, they had been praised by Lin Qiu, and they raised their heads proudly.

Brother Tyr's words were true, except that their evaluation of their cooking skills was often unacceptable! They seemed to feel that they were superior to the nobles present.

And they have indeed seen many big scenes...... Child. A poisoned arrow is really nothing compared to the sea monster Jörmungandr and the "quicksand" that ravaged Shakdamm - the sea monster Jörmunga who dominated the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, right?

That's probably what it means.

They thought it would be hell if that arrow could hit Queen Ria.

"Hey, what is this?" Anna and Rose hadn't been able to "laugh and talk" with Jörmungård for long before they managed to attract Leah's attention. After all, the sudden appearance of an orange baby snake on a table is a very eye-catching thing.

Lin Qiu then remembered that in order to make up for the loss of Anna and Rose not being able to go out, Lin Qiu threw Jörmungader to them at the begging of the two. They vowed to catch a monster as friendly and cute as Jörmungård, but until they did, Jörmungård was their first choice.

And the thief baby snake was happy to follow them, knowing that following Anna and Rose would have meat to eat!

At the moment, it was comfortably burying its head in a large cutlet, and if it hadn't been for Anna and Rose's request to restrain itself, it would have been eager to swim in the food!

Ria really cared about the young snake, and because of the majesty of the Empress, she didn't grab Jörmungard and play with it in her hand.

"It's Jörmungad, don't worry, it never bites!" Anna said with a smile, and Richard, who had been bitten on the nose, tearfully praised.

"Oh-?"

Captain Ziegler suddenly exclaimed, and his behavior once again attracted the sideways glances of the nobles at the tables next to him—"This is a great monster!"
