Chapter 406: Vignette

"Rejected. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

To Anthony's surprise, it wasn't Queen Leah who stopped him, but a female knight beside her who looked a little familiar. And just as he wanted to drink Elisa away, his eyes happened to move to the golden sword and shield badge on the opponent's armband. Anthony was excited, and his slightly cloudy vision suddenly became clear.

He was a loyal supporter of the Church, and no one knew the meaning of this emblem better than him. In Horutia, only eight people had the right to wear the golden sword and shield insignia.

No wonder he felt that Alyssa was a little familiar, he just didn't expect such a big man to appear in front of him at first.

"I see. To the astonishment of countless nobles who had waited to see the joke, Bishop Anthony, who had never looked at him, bowed his head reverently, his long white beard trembling with excitement, and the surprise far outweighed the unhappiness of the rejection of the proposal.

The Inquisition had a high status in the hearts of the clergy, and it was an honor for them to see the high-ranking knights of the Inquisition, let alone the Knights of the Round Table in the Church headquarters.

"Lord Elisa, I didn't even know that you came to this kingdom in person!" In addition to being excited, Anthony's tone also had a hint of trepidation: "If I knew, I would definitely personally take you to understand the current situation of the Kingdom of Tarun." ”

Another important role of the Church is that it serves as a liaison hub for the Church headquarters, and it is his job to help the knights of the Church understand the state of a kingdom. Of course, there are also subjective biases in the understanding of the region by bishops in different regions, and it is often not possible to guarantee whether they can objectively and truthfully understand the state of the kingdom.

"Please be sure to patronize the sect after the banquet!"

Anthony's astonishing transformation surprised everyone, and his decision made Ziegler, who had been relaxed, frown. He looked secretly at Isai, who looked at him with a solemn look.

Instigating the extremist members of the Divine Bird Sect to assassinate Bishop Anthony is an important part, but if Alyssa is accompanied, the assassination will obviously not succeed, and Anthony's life and death will directly determine the direction of the next thing. Isai Haywag had miscalculated Anthony, and with his usual no-nonsense attitude, he should have walked away angrily after the proposal had been rejected - and he would have met the fanatical Cult of the Birds.

Ziegler and Isai's "eyebrow flirtation" did not escape Lin Qiu's sight. The fact that Salfin's fate is uncertain and that Ziegler is his primary suspicion confirms that he has some sort of covert affair with Isai Hawog.

And it didn't take long for Isai to pick up the wine glass and deliberately walked towards Moll Powell, who was talking to someone, and in the case of Issai's intention, the wine glass in his hand "accidentally" hit Moore, and the wine in the glass immediately splashed both of them, and this little episode also caused a burst of exclamations from the nobles and merchants.

"I'm sorry. ”

Esai calmly apologized to More, who waved his hand unhappily. No one could tell if he had done it on purpose, and Moore didn't bother to pursue such a trivial matter - wasn't it just a change of clothes?

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but it looks like I'm going to have to miss me. ”

Moore and Isai left the main hall one after another, heading in two diametrically opposite directions.

"Julius, you go and follow Iseh Hyvog and see if you can find anything?" Lin Qiu whispered. At this time, as the protagonist of the banquet, he obviously could not leave the table early, so this heavy task had to be entrusted to Julius.

And Julius, as always, was negative: "Don't. ”

"Huh, aren't you a second-class swordsman, it's time to show your talents. Lin Qiu urged, seeing that Yisai was about to disappear at the end of the trail. He dared to pack the ticket, and that moment just now was definitely deliberate.

Julius hesitated: "After that happens, you have to help me convince the Empress to give me these two swords!"

"Deal, let's go!"

Another advantage of Julius' status is that his sudden departure will not attract too many people's attention, as the captain of the kingdom army, he has the important task of protecting the empress, if he has been eating and drinking in the main hall, it will be a problem.

"We'll talk about that later. Anthony's change of attitude was also unexpected by Alyssa. Leah and the maids described him as an arrogant and hedonistic man, but Anthony was not arrogant now, but rather a little too religious—the old man, like those recent graduates of the nuns' college, always looked at the high knights of the church with reverence and admiration.

It's like a fan.

What's more, every leader of the sect was at least once chosen by the headquarters, and people may slowly degenerate with the corruption of power, but it is impossible to say that there is no merit at all. It is a long process to remove a leader of the sect and re-elect it. So Alyssa plans to continue to observe to find out what the conflict between Anthony and Leah is.

"No problem, Alyssa-sama. "Anthony has always had a different attitude towards people inside and outside the church, and his faith in the church is real.

"So......" Leah turned to look at Karen, "announce the start of the feast!"

Karen beckoned to the court musicians, and the melodious and slightly passionate ball music played throughout the inner city in an instant. The so-called court banquet did not actually have much red tape, and its most important function was to provide a platform for nobles and merchants to get to know each other.

The day before's party was nothing compared to today's, with young men and women revelrying in a different way than their parents, writhing on the dance floor to the music. When the music played, Lia finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she finally didn't have to use a pestle to receive these endless rows of nobles.

"Lady Elisa, please allow me to elaborate......"

Bishop Anthony leaned over to Alyssa while the iron was hot, and babbled on and on. The Knights of the Round Table had always been his idol, and he wouldn't leave to say anything about it—he wouldn't leave to kill him! The white-bearded old man had become a fan, leaving the two nuns aside and all about Luna.

"Teacher, it seems that you guessed correctly again, the guards didn't see any suspicious characters. Leah paused, and suddenly exclaimed, "Huh, what about Rose and Anna?"

She obviously asked the two of them to wait for her in her private room.

"Aren't they with you?"

"They should have been waiting for me here!" said Lia's voice, although the situation was very good, no one could guarantee that the inner city would be safe.

"Don't worry, they won't run far. ”

Lin Qiu thought about it, it shouldn't be possible that someone would be able to kidnap Rose and Anna under Alyssa's nose, so it was probably these two little Nizi who couldn't stay idle and ran out by themselves.

"Let's go find them. Lin Qiu proposed.

"Good!"

Liya nodded heavily and kept up with Lin Qiu's pace.
