Chapter 378: Suddenly like a poisoned arrow

"Let me introduce you to our guests tonight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

After the musicians finished their songs, the main hall fell into a brief silence. After finally dealing with the aristocratic maid, Karen, picked up the manuscript prepared in advance, and she came behind Ria and coughed lightly.

Under the guidance of Ke Liya, Lin Qiu and the others came to the steps of the dance floor and slowly walked down the stairs with her. Since a few people came to the main hall, the nobles have looked at a few people from time to time, and at this moment, they finally no longer need to hide their gaze, and they can confidently and boldly observe these guests from afar.

At Leah's behest, the court musicians began to play hard again. It's just that the style of music has changed abruptly, from a melodious and light dance music to a passionate and majestic march. Although she knew that her teacher was not a person who wanted to be a showman, she still prepared the most grand welcome ceremony, and even the repertoire she played during it was hand-selected.

The aristocratic banquet can be said to be the most ceremonial occasion, regardless of status, the nobles always hope to find their own sense of belonging from the magnificent pomp, and they will treat others with such a sense of belonging. Leah wanted the welcome ceremony to be foolproof and leave her teacher with the most glorious image in the hearts of the nobles.

The march succeeded in setting the mood, and the dinner was pushed to its climax amid applause and eager talk.

And Karin also raised her voice: "Tyr-Cyleus, I believe you have already heard this name, Her Majesty's teacher, and at the same time the hero who saved the kingdom of Talen!"

The applause was unprecedentedly high, and whether or not they appreciated the changes Lin Qiu had brought to this kingdom, they all gave him the warmest applause without exception.

"The man behind him should be more familiar to you - Alyssa Shucaredo, the youngest Knight of the Round Table in the history of the Church!"

Alyssa's lengthy list of honors may not be enough for an hour, and the identity of the Knight of the Round Table is undoubtedly the most representative. The success of Karen's introduction caused all the nobles to exclaim, most of whom had heard of the glorious name of Elisa, but few had seen her in person.

The exclamation was followed by an irrepressible discussion.

They were more concerned about the purpose of Elisa's visit to the kingdom of Tarun. The Knights of the Round Table were very important in Horutiah, so everywhere they went, something big happened.

Even if someone tried to assassinate Her Majesty the Empress, would it really attract the attention of the Church headquarters in the imperial capital?

Many people have doubts about this. Because after King Ryan's assassination, the church didn't seem to take this matter to heart, and it was the empress herself who carried the chaotic kingdom.

"The third place is ......"

"Bump. ”

However, just as everyone was speculating about the reason why Alyssa had come to this small country, the musicians were frightened by the sudden sound of glass breaking, and the violin made a sharp and piercing noise. Arrows pierced through the window and galloped unstoppably towards Leah.

Everything happened in an instant, and while everyone was still looking for the source of the abnormal noise, the arrow had already arrived in front of Leah.

"Be careful!" Kalota paleed as she watched as the arrow flew towards Riya's heart. But she's not a knight...... No, even if she were a knight, it would be impossible for her to react in such a brief moment and help her lord Leah resolve the crisis.

Almost as soon as she exclaimed, a dark shadow appeared in the clearing around Leah. Liya only felt that her body was light, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared in a direction a few meters away. Half a sharp arrow pierced the red carpet, and the green liquid at the tip of the arrow spread, burning a hole in the red carpet, obviously quenched with poison.

At the same time that the glass shattered, Lin Qiu responded. It's just that he didn't expect the assassin to be impatient to do it tonight in front of the three Templars.

"Go contact Salfin and ask him to block the royal capital, don't let anyone out!" Coriya, who was the first to react, sternly ordered the pale-faced guard, the moment the arrow shot into the main hall, her heart rose to her throat, if she was by Liya's side, she was absolutely sure to protect the other party, but she was dozens of steps away from Liya, and when she ran over, the arrow had already shot through Liya's heart.

Fortunately, she had to be shocked by Lin Qiu's speed. I always feel that I haven't seen him for a few months, and this guy's strength has gone to a new level.

The nobles who had just woken up from a dream changed their faces when they saw the arrows on the red carpet - just now, someone had tried to assassinate Empress Lea in front of them, but it was clear that the assassin had not succeeded. Although they didn't know how Lin Qiu did it, their admiration was beyond words.

"Hee-hee, I knew that as long as the teacher was here, there was nothing to worry about. Lin Qiuyi lowered his head and was surprised to find that Liya, who had almost died under the arrow, had a ruddy face and did not show the slightest sign of fear. She turned her back to the nobles and stuck out her tongue at Lin Qiu mischievously: "It was so exciting just now!"

Liya remembered the last time it was so exciting, it was the night when she begged Lin Qiu to take her out of the inner city in the middle of the night. Sister Kalian said that the empress could not make such a rebellious move, and only in front of Lin Qiu could she briefly "relax" her nerves.

Of course, it was only for a short time.

Liya's face was already tense when she turned around, and Lin Qiu was even dazzled by him just now. Her tone was majestic and stern: "Calm down, the feast is not over! I command you as if this had never happened...... If anyone can't do it, please leave the ballroom now. ”

With that, Lia glanced at the musicians seemingly casually, and the silent musicians replayed the impassioned march, but they didn't seem to be able to recover from the panic just now, several of the pianoists were not in the same key at all, and the orchestra conductor was so anxious that his face turned green.

The faces of the nobles were no better, and no one dared to leave, but after all this, they really couldn't make a fuss - joking, Her Majesty was almost assassinated, and they had to dance happily? Everyone felt that in this case, the first person to dance must be a fool, and they did not want to be that fool.

"In this way, we are also hungry, let's start the banquet!" Lin Qiu proposed.

"In that case, let's take a seat. Ria announced, and the head maid, Karen, wiped the hand, and was much more relaxed, and she arranged the work of the maids in an orderly manner, so that they could serve the feast that had been prepared for a long time.

The smell of the food did not ease the tension of the nobles, and everyone sat upright, not daring to say a word. Many people cast grateful glances at Lin Qiu - on this occasion, it seemed that dining was better than dancing.

There were four long tables in the main hall, and the people sitting at the same table with Lin Qiu and the others were all the nobles with the most status in the royal capital.

"Hahahaha, Lord Tyr, you are really amazing, admire it!" I don't know how long it took, and finally someone broke the silence. And his laughter managed to attract the sideways glances of the other nobles.

The person who laughed out loud was a strong man dressed plainly, his strong muscles were exposed, if it weren't for him sitting at a table with Lin Qiu and the others, Lin Qiu would have thought that he was the guard in the castle.

"This is Captain Ziegler. Ke Liya introduced the identity of this man in Lin Qiu's ear.

This man who laughed the most happily among the nobles...... It turned out to be the chief of the palace guard?
