18 Dinner and Premonition
In order to encourage and mobilize the elite team to participate in the escort operation tomorrow, the maid lady named "Bai Xiao" sent from the headquarters specially prepared a very sumptuous dinner for this purpose.
Although she said that she was a maid, Bai Xiao's identity in the barracks of the Silver Hand of the Crimson Ring was a special commissioner sent from the headquarters of the United Church to be responsible for the "Holy Son". has considerable power and status, and if you don't go to the banquet, it will be very bad.
Therefore, although they sensed that something was not quite right, they had to go to this dinner party for Aigtir and Shaguya.
In fact, both Agertil and Shaguya would subconsciously avoid the "maid lady" with her long dark green hair. Especially Sha Guya, Sha Guya felt the taste of "the same kind" from Bai Xiao's body.
That feeling of indifference, of feeling completely mechanical.
If Sha Guya has become somewhat flexible because he has been wandering outside for a few years, then the aura on Bai Xiao's body gives people the feeling of "completely dangerous and solemn".
I almost treated her as the first threat. There were even many times when Shaguya tried to persuade Aiger to target the maid named Bai Xiao. However, this is not possible because of the requirements of the mission.
You can't ask for a change of plan because of your hunch.
But no matter what, Shaguya couldn't take his eyes off Bai Xiao. And what made Sha Guya feel even more uncomfortable was that she always felt that Bai Xiao was also watching her somewhere.
It was a general feeling of being "targeted" for no reason, and even every time Shagua returned to his room, he would look in the mirror, look at himself in the mirror carefully, and know that after making sure that his disguise was indeed foolproof, he would be somewhat relieved, and only to a certain extent.

Near Creek Rock, Silver Hand Barracks, Aigtil's Lounge.
Shagua had knocked on the door a few minutes earlier, and it wasn't until Aigtil released the silent barrier that the silver-haired maid lady, who had always had a calm and steady complexion, was somewhat relaxed.
"Miss Agertier, there must be something wrong with this. Be sure to report back to Miss Elemmel and Miss Theo again. β
Aigertier looked at Shagua, who obviously looked a little bad, shook his head, and replied slowly, "No, if you really do this, it will make them very nervous, won't it?"
"But...... Miss Agertier......"
"What's wrong with you today? Aigertier interrupted her.
"I don't know, but I have a very bad feeling. β
"What kind of hunch?" asked Agertier. The tone was rather interesting, as if he was listening to some interesting gossip rather than something related to himself.
"That Bai Xiao is very dangerous. Shaguya replied.
"I know, I know. Didn't you tell me?" replied Agertier, "besides, isn't Mr. Ager always with us?"
"Chirp~"
As a "little pet", Eizhe, who has been lacking a sense of presence lately, bounced on Aigertil's shoulder, and then slowly floated onto Shagua's head, rubbing the short silver hair of Miss Maid.
"Yes......" Aegtil's words gave Shaguya some comfort, and the maid's face became a little better.
After all, in any case, with Ezger's presence, things wouldn't have gone into an irreparable situation - whether it was Shagua or Aigtil, or Elimel and Wind, they all believed this.
Or rather, they are willing to believe it.
For, if even Ezer could not believe it, they would have almost nothing left - and the sane Agetier knew it well.
"Besides, we haven't shown any signs these days. Travelers, on the other hand, survive by gathering intelligence, and like to arm themselves with intelligence at every turn, which is basically the default of everyone. So don't worry about being suspicious or anything like that. Aigertir then analyzed Shaguya in a calm and soothing tone.
"Besides, even if Bai Xiao really planned to do something bad, it would be impossible to do it in front of so many people. It is even more impossible to attack everyone for no reason, after all, those people at today's dinner are the elite of the army, and there is even no shortage of leaders, isn't it?"
"Your analysis is correct...... Shaguya nodded.
"Well, so you need to adjust your mindset as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a big problem to be suspected because of your abnormal behavior. β
"Rest assured, I can control myself. Shagua was silent for a moment, then replied.
"Hmm. β

Soon, it was completely dark, and the scheduled dinner time was just around the corner. So Agttil and Shaguya arrived at the barracks' canteen on time.
There, three long tables were placed together, and there were eight seats for a total of eight people. Including the Silver Hand's Uncle Commander, Aigertil, Bai Xiao, and another officer, there were a total of four high-rank, and the rest were four middle-rankβthis was already a group of strong combat power.
In fact, this eight-person squad can already be regarded as a "counter-army" level, at least in the face of dozens of ordinary soldiers, it will not be inferior - you know, the population of the Isil world is relatively small, and dozens of soldiers can already be regarded as a large team.
The dinner soon began, and the Commander made a speech announcing to everyone present the importance of the operation and the extent of the reward for its success.
Uncle Commander's speech was incendiary, and the reward for the operation was indeed rich enough - not only for merit, but also for monetary rewards: a direct settlement of three months' salary as a bonus.
As a result, the officers present were also very interested, and the dinner had just begun, and the atmosphere became hot.
However, because it was going to be carried out tomorrow, in order to ensure the state, there were not too many alcoholic beverages, only very low ale and some fruit wine. This made two or three good drinkers complain: "How can fruit wine be served in this barracks? Even the priests and ladies don't drink it, hurry up and change some higher degrees!"
"Haha, I'll make sure you'll have enough to drink after the mission is completed! In this regard, Uncle Commander assured.
"Good~!"
