But Rod vomited for a while, and then eased up, until the room was filled with vomit, and the characteristic smell of sour wine did not follow the poisoner's expectation, and he bled and collapsed, but with an embarrassed face, he took the towel handed by Ciri and wiped his mouth......

The attendants who arrived quickly took their tools and began to clean up the dirt on the ground, and Ciri stared at Rhodes helplessly, and was about to tease him, when suddenly he noticed something abnormal. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info she jerked out and grabbed the young man's arm holding the towel, and dragged it to herself to take a closer look - on the white cloth, between the traces of vomit, there was a shallow bright red blood!

Ciri was so shocked that he opened his mouth to warn everyone, but at the same moment, an unexpected upheaval occurred.

＊＊＊

The pendant on Rod's chest fluttered again, and it hardly stopped for a moment in a place like this where there were so many people and magical facilities. But the magnitude is much more pronounced than before...... In fact, even without the vibration of the necklace, he clearly felt a surge of magic, and the magic lamps used for lighting the hall flickered and dimmed, and a gust of wind blew into the temple door, and the candlelight was partially extinguished, and the rest swayed, and the shadows of the people were reflected in the walls and pillars, and the atmosphere became eerie.

Ellen Yaqin, the female knight of the Temple, who had been sitting upright in her seat and had not been drunk, did not hesitate to get up and reach out to her waist, but remembered that the weapon had been taken away, so she could only remind her: "Be careful!"

At the same moment as she shouted, a petite woman who knew no one sprang out of the crowd, her body glowing with a fighting spirit, her hands shining with metal, and rushed towards the king with a clear aim like an arrow.

Assassin!

Of course, the king had personal guards, but one of them had been ordered to check on the boy when Rhodes had vomited just now, and the other was also ten meters away, and the assassin attacked from among the guests, and no one had time to save him.

The obese Elite III did not sit still, he showed a dexterity that did not match his body at all, he even grabbed a silver disc on the table and smashed it at the assassin faster than the guards drew their swords, but the attacker was unusually rigorously trained, and she was unaffected by the dish, and her feet on the ground increased again, and finally rushed into the king's arms, a finger-long knife slashed through the man's fat throat, and the latter only had time to let out a small, rough gasp, and the blood immediately gushed out.

The successful female Assassin immediately pushed the king away and retreated to the door, but the guards outside the door were already alarmed.

"Your Majesty!"

"Stop her!"

"Call the doctor, and Ms. Sasha!"

"Father!"

Princess Elaine screams and tries to pounce on the king, but is grabbed by Grom to prevent her from being threatened by the assassins in the chaos, and Rhodes is so shocked by the sudden assassination that he forgets the pain in his abdomen, and is pulled by the arm by Ciri, watching in amazement as events unfold.

The guards met the Assassin, and the petite woman was not restrained after completing the assassination. She kicked over the table to fend off the king's guards for a moment, and then chased after the sword-wielding sword that slashed through the table, and then kicked the oven around the all-cow grill in the middle of the room to the guards. A large amount of charcoal fire splashed everywhere in the furnace like water, igniting the carpet and creating sparks and hot gas. It even burned many guests who couldn't avoid it and screamed miserably.

On the throne, King Elite tried his best to hold on to his wounds, but the blood still flowed unstoppably from between his fingers, and in the hall, the light of fighting spirit and blades flew up and down, and the flames caused by the charcoal burning quickly ignited everything, and some of the guests crawled away from the scene, while others screamed and burrowed under the table far from the flames, and the situation was instantly chaotic with the sound of heavy footsteps, shouts and curses from the guards, and the clashing of steel.

The king's two personal guards both had the rating of great swordsman, and they should have easily taken down the assassin or corrected the law on the spot, but the scene was too chaotic, and there were the assassin's mage accomplices in the crowd to help, although they did not bring a staff due to the restriction of carrying weapons, they still quietly released a few female assassins who were successful in spell cover to escape from the king's guards, and rushed into the crowd and poured out of the temple under the cover of flames.

Several of the Bishop's Templars and the King's guards shouted and chased after him, and the attendants tried to rescue Illite III while putting out the fire. Ellen Yachen knelt beside the king, her hand glowing with a soft spell as she tried to heal the wound on his neck, but the Assassin's weapons were enchanted and quenched, and ordinary healing magic did not help. She suddenly realized that it was no accident that the archbishop and the chief mage were called away, and with the two of them here, even if they couldn't stop the assassin's murder, they could snatch Elite III back from the hands of death!

The supreme ruler of Anteli fell to the ground, his clothes soaked with blood, and he struggled to speak, but his trachea and throat were blocked by the blood, and he was unable to speak in agony, and he died irrevocably in agony.

"God, what the hell is going on, what are we going to do?" Life and death Ciri had touched too much, but it was the first time she had seen the king assassinated, her green eyes widened in the mess of the firelight, and she remembered that the boy next to her had been poisoned, and asked Grom who had rushed in a panic.

"Let's go, get out of here. ”

Grom let go of the princess, and the little girl threw herself on her father crying, and he took the opportunity to leave the banquet hall with the two teenagers.

Outside, the night was dark and deep, and Grom touched his forehead and sighed: he was actually the only person who could save the king at the scene at the time of the incident, although he was also a "great sword master", but with the strength far superior to the two king's guards, even without weapons, he could use his outward shaping fighting spirit to blast through the attacker and stop the assassination. It's just that the incident happened too suddenly, and he couldn't figure out the situation and chose to stay where he was and protect Rhodes first, so he missed the opportunity to stop the assassination.

Now it's a problem.

The magic lighting equipment in the vicinity was out of order, and there were sergeants with torches everywhere hurrying in the direction of the Assassin's escape, and it seemed that the assassins still had some people running away, and they didn't know if they had been caught now.

"This way. He dragged a somewhat dazed Rhodes and led him and Ciri in the opposite direction of the Assassin's escape, passing a bewildered squire who looked at the three men in disbelief and watched them leave.

"Walk slowly, you can take bigger steps but not run, pretend you don't know anything, or you will make the guards suspicious. ”

＊＊＊

Donnie stupidly watched as the target he was about to kill calmly left the scene, suspecting that he was crazy.

He did not understand why the young man had been able to drink a whole glass of poisoned wine and walk away from the scene in a conscious state, nor could he understand why the king, who was under strict protection, had been assassinated on the spot. Could it be that the original target of the mysterious man behind the scenes was the king, himself...... Just a supporting character who is being used to muddy the waters?

......

"My stomach still hurts a little. Rod complained.

The king was assassinated, and it stands to reason that he should not have dothered about his stomach ache at this time. But for the first time in the sixteen years since his birth, he felt pain from within, from his throat to his stomach, and the effects were as shocking as witnessing the assassination of Illite III.

"Wait, I remember, it was the squire who saw us just now, who poured wine for Rhodes, but didn't give it to me and the princess. Ciri cried out, "He's the one who poisoned him!"

"What poison?"

"Don't you even know that you're vomiting blood yourself?"

Rod wiped his mouth, and the towel he used just now wiped away all the small blood stains, and he couldn't see any problems with his hands at the moment.

Grom looked at Ciri and then at Rod in surprise: "Don't worry about the wine, let's leave the palace first, I have a very bad premonition." ”
