Chapter 276: Secret Meeting
Soon, the day dawned, the town began to wake up, and the people in the tavern began their day's work, the bartender began to wipe down the bar, and the chef began to prepare the main food of the tavern, meatloaf. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info This kind of food is high in calories, nutritious, and reasonably priced, and is very popular with passing merchants, and it is also one of the most well-known local foods.
Many merchants who were preparing to leave today also began to get up and pack their belongings, ready to embark on their journey again. Kennan also mixed in with the early crowd and hurriedly ate two meatloaf as breakfast, and then hurriedly set out on the road to the royal capital. After the events of last night, Kenan silently found that there seemed to be an invisible net hanging in the sky, and the seemingly peaceful Erathia did not seem to be as peaceful as it seemed, and one would be swallowed by the undercurrent if he was not careful.
He was worried about when the deaths of the two unlucky assassins would be noticed by the Bloody Hand, and when he would find out about his head, and what kind of opponents he would send next time......
Kenan felt as if a hungry wolf was about to break out of the cage, which made Kenan a little nervous and a little excited.
"Come on, let me see if you're a wolf or a dog. Kennan thought with some excitement on his horse, looking at the forest on both sides that was rapidly retreating behind him, he seemed to have returned to the time when he first embarked on the journey, although a long time has passed, the memory of many details has become blurred, and the strength is very different from the beginning, but the enthusiasm has not changed.
Kennan was more cautious for the rest of the journey, avoiding crowds as much as possible along the way, and staying in town for little other than lodging. Finally came to the royal capital safely after half a month.
Standing in front of the gate of the royal capital of Savawrinka again, Kenan felt a lot of emotion, although it had only been more than half a year, but he was completely different from him back then. Half a year ago, he was just a newcomer who had just arrived on this continent, and he could only pretend to be an adventurer and follow the caravan here, but now he is a powerful viscount of the empire, and he is also a member of Catherine's family, and he has a place in the kingdom.
Although he doesn't value power and fame or anything like that, he has to admit that it's much easier to do things with these.
Kennan didn't sigh too much, and after a little hesitation, he led the horse into the royal capital. Every day, there were countless people dressed as adventurers who entered the royal capital, because the guards allowed Kenan to enter the royal capital without too much inspection. Kenan led the horse to the left and right to the back door of the palace, then took a scroll from his waist and threw it to the guards. Ten minutes later, Kennan was escorted to a conference room in the palace.
The conference room is not big, on the contrary, it is very small, only about 30 square meters, but the construction is more exquisite, the murals of the famous kings, the hand-woven carpets, the finely carved walnut tables and chairs from the elf country, are faintly revealing a luxurious atmosphere.
The conference room was already full of people at this time, roughly counting the past twenty or sozen, each of them with a tired face, looking very tired, many of them were like Kennan and even had some dust on their bodies, as if they had just arrived.
The room was filled with smoke, many people were smoking pipes and whispering something to the people next to them, Kenan's entry didn't attract much attention, only a few people close to him glanced at it, then smiled more kindly and went back to the previous discussion. Kenan returned the salute and followed the maid to a corner of the long table and sat down.
Sitting on Kennan's left hand side was an old man in a black robe, about fifty years old, and he smiled kindly at Kenan, "I'm Count Tuha of Loma City, I don't know who Your Excellency is?"
Seeing this, Kennan hurriedly saluted, "Good day, Your Excellency, I am Viscount Kennan of Sharpster. ā
"Ah, you are Viscount Kennan, who has recently won the favor of Her Majesty the Queen, and I am really fortunate to be able to meet you, I wonder if there will be time after the meeting, and we will talk together?" said the Count of Tuha with a smile.
The city of Loma City, Kenan, knows that the location is also in the Hammondale region, but at the northeastern end. Close to the camp of Conse, close to the elves in Erie, compared to talking to himself, it is estimated that he will discuss the establishment of a trade route between the two sides, for this kind of thing, Kenan naturally can't ask for it, "Thank you Your Excellency the Earl for your kindness, I will definitely visit in person after the meeting." ā
Kennan had just finished speaking, when the door to the conference room opened, and Queen Catherine, dressed in a dark green uniform, walked in from outside.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Catherine sat on the throne, and the whispering discussion below suddenly ceased and became silent. Catherine nodded with satisfaction, "You are all my cronies, and I am glad to meet you at such a meeting. However, before the meeting, I would like to make a statement, that is, the content of this meeting is very important, it can be said that it is related to the future development of the kingdom, so the content of this meeting is top secret, and this meeting does not exist to the outside world, I don't want to hear any information about this meeting outside, do you understand?" Catherine said with a serious face.
Everyone here is a person who has lived in officialdom for a long time, and even a stunned young man can't say a word that he doesn't understand at such a time, so Catherine nodded with satisfaction under the oath of everyone, and then said seriously, "The news I am talking about below may be quite shocking, so please be prepared." Someone ...... coming."
As soon as Queen Catherine finished speaking, two knights in full armor walked in carrying what looked like an oil painting, and it was covered with canvas, so that it was impossible to see what was inside. The two knights hung their items on the wall and turned and retreated. He gently closed the door to the conference room.
Catherine slowly walked to the canvas, and then pulled the canvas off the top of the thing with a gentle tug, and everyone was shocked to see this, it turned out that there was a map of the continent hanging under the canvas. And it's a map with some of the most accurate accuracy.
In this era, things like continental maps are still relatively rare, and even some regional maps that look like abstract paintings are precious to people, as if they are something that can be regarded as family heirlooms.
And this kind of high-precision continental map can basically be regarded as a national weapon. It's no wonder that many of the nobles below were surprised.
Seeing this, Queen Catherine coughed lightly and said, "Guys, have you heard of an organization called the Bloody Hand Society?"
