The Earl turned his head sideways and looked at the Chancellor's swollen eyes, which did not look very strict, and the Earl knew the weight of his cousin's attack: "Cousin Yagu is just a momentary impulse, I don't think he wants to hurt you." ”

In fact, if Prince Yagu Klein, who led the Blood Griffin Knights, really wanted to hurt his brother-in-law, there might have been another bloody incident in the room of the dead Anfil XXXIV at this moment, and the Minister of State would definitely be killed.

The Secretary of State is well aware of this: "I know. But such a short temper is not good for the Klein family, do you say?"

"Or maybe. I'll talk to him about it later, and I hope you don't take it to heart. I heard that my cousin-in-law was a big-hearted man, and I think the same would be true. "Earl Brad Klein does not intend to speak too much about his family in public. Ever since the Count stepped into the Royal Castle, Archbishop of the Green Leaf Church, Zeni Keamo, who was under the command of Prince Verdor Crane, had been close to the head of the Dragon's Tooth Order, and although it was in the name of assisting the Count, who was unfamiliar with the local situation, Count Brad Crane felt a little bit of surveillance in it.

The National Assembly of the Holy Asserr Empire is a large-scale building divided into five floors. From the wide entrance on the first floor, you will find a richly decorated lobby. In addition to the two long spiral staircases leading to the north and south floors, there is also a long hallway, which ends in the chambers of the Holy Emperor of the Asser Empire. On the wall at the back of the corridor there is a whole row of identical round arches through which the officials of the National Assembly will come to the same place: the Grand Chamber that can accommodate almost all the members and officials of the National Assembly, and the row of rooms opposite the Grand Chamber of Justice. It is the office of some high-ranking officials, including the Big Three of the National Parliament. The makeshift room for the head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights is also here.

The Secretary of State followed Earl Brad Klein into the Earl's makeshift chambers. The new décor, originally prepared for the Count's arrival, was now covered with the same black curtain, on which there was only one pattern, the black flower of the other side, which was said to be a wreath on the head of the god of death.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Eugene Koma, and the Archbishop of the Green Leaf Church, Zeni Keamo, were already waiting in the room. The Count learns that Zeni Keamo is here as Minister of War and spokesman for Prince Fodor Klein, and that the Count himself has to temporarily take the place of the dead Emperor Anfil XXXIV until the two princes disagree, or a new Holy Emperor of the Acer Empire is elected.

Pick a new emperor, of course. is the most important thing to put in front of everyone in the room.

The people who walked through the low sewers had not heard of the assassination of the Holy Emperor of the Asser Empire, except for the demon Amtils who had personally stabbed the dagger on the emperor's chest.

The environment in the sewers is really unbearable. Dark Elf Ness had to lower her head and walk forward, or the cold, unpolished stone wall on her head would cut through her smooth forehead, and the demon, who was more than a head taller than Nice, would have to bend over and move forward in a difficult position. The only person who could make it through the sewer was Edgar, the Elder of the Thieves' Guild, the Dark Elf Nice's Instructor, and if you didn't count the sewage and rats, it was a great place for the adventurous halfling, who was still a long way from the top of the halfling's head. However, if you add the dirt and stench around you, and the rats crawling on the ground, even halflings can't be content with this environment. So the voices of the elders of the thieves' guild, such as "bastard", "hell", "get out of here!", echoed in this sewer.

Edgar, the elder of the Thieves' Guild, was still cursing. However, the targets of the halfling's curses have extended from Count Brad Crane, who ordered the raid on the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild, to the entire Crane family. The two princes who used the attack on the Thieves' Guild as a bargaining chip in order to compete for the throne were bastards, and the Dragon's Tooth Knights, who had allowed the Dragon's Tooth Knights to wreak havoc in the Thieves' Guild's headquarters and guide him to the Thieves' Guild in the sewers, was even more unforgivable, and he launched a direct attack on the Thieves' Guild as soon as he arrived in Onyx City.

"It must be for the sake of fighting for the throne. The Bloody Earl thought that attacking the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild would give a good impression of the old man lying in the hospital room of the National Assembly. The Elder of the Thieves' Guild muttered to himself with considerable certainty.

And the demon who was silently bending down behind the halfling knew very well that the speculation of the elders of the Thieves Guild had completely deviated from the truth of the facts. The demon who single-handedly caused the death of Emperor Anfil XXXIV believes that the attack on the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild by the Dragon's Tooth Knights must have been due to the murder that shocked the entire Holy Asserr Empire in the middle of the night last night. The scars on the Emperor's body caused by the long dagger used by the demon are a major evidence that the Thieves' Guild sent killers to assassinate the Emperor, and the Demon can't figure out how the Dragon's Tooth Knights found the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild.

According to Ness's introduction to the Thieves' Guild during her journey to Onyx City, the Demon learns that the Thieves' Guild's headquarters is an extremely confidential place, and Ness even jokes to the Demon and Archmage Akiman, "If you two go to tell the Knights of Light, it will be the greatest disaster in the history of the Thieves' Guild." Of course Amm wouldn't do that, Ice Monster, be careful not to talk to outsiders!" The headquarters of the Thieves' Guild on Twin Trees Street is only used as the residence of the president of the Thieves' Guild and the elders' council of the thieves' guild, and the elders secretly come to the headquarters to receive orders from the president. They then went back to their own apartment to direct their men to work, and except for the eight elders of the Thieves' Guild, and the few high-ranking members of the Thieves' Guild trusted by the elders, few people knew that the thousand-year-old house on Twin Trees Street was actually the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild, which represented the dark side of the Holy Asserr Empire.

"There must have been a whistleblower. The devil was sure of that. Although from the loud dragon tooth knight, he learned the news of the escape of the archmage Aqiman, the dark elf Nia, and the thief Asak. The demon still hopes to get out of the dark sewers as much as possible so that he can find the whereabouts of the archmage. Bending over for long periods of time is quite a hard job. The Dungeon Master, who was very worried about Aqiman's injury, stood up straight and wanted to stretch and relax his waist. But after a "bump", he squatted in the sewage of the sewer.

Ness, the dark elf thief who followed the demon, hurriedly caught up a few steps and held the demon holding the head that had hit the stone wall above her head. As she whispered her condolences to the demon with a new wound on her head, Nith thought to herself of her sister, the dark elf mage Nia. Although the shape was extremely dangerous at the time, Ness believed that her sister, who had grown up with her in the Thieves' Guild, would not be too seriously injured, and although she was a mage, Nia had learned a lot of techniques and techniques for dodging attacks from many of the senior seniors in the Thieves' Guild.

At this time, Edgar, the elder of the thieves' guild who was at the forefront, suddenly stopped: "Ness, listen. What's up there?"

In a small hole above Edgar, there was the faint sound of shovels clinking against pots, the crackling of firewood bursting in the stove, and someone singing in a low voice: "Hey~ never stay in the same place! Yoh~ The halfling's destination is on the journey!"

Despite the almost complete absence of light in the sewers, the demon felt it see the dark elf's eyes flickering.

"Uncle Edel, this is Uncle Edel's kitchen up there!" the Dark Elf couldn't hide the excitement in his tone, "we can go up from here." ”

So the union elder cleared his throat and cried out in the direction of the hole: "Eder!

The shouts of the Guild Elders echoed through the sewers, countless echoes that seemed to correspond to him, and from the hole that led to the Dark Elf's "Uncle Edel's kitchen", the Elder received a response that was completely unexpected by the halfling.

A large basin of water poured down from the small hole and poured right on the head of Edgar, the elder of the union; And the roar of the same voice as the song just now: "Hell, even the rats in the sewers have learned to call me by my name!

The loudness of this voice was no less than that of the Dragontooth Knight who inadvertently brought the news of the escape of the archmage Aqiman and the others. The demons and dark elves hurriedly reached out to cover their ears.

"This idiot!" the soaking wet union president shook the drops of water from his hair vigorously as he stepped aside: "Ness, we're not guests who went up to visit, just don't knock on the door!" And remember to choke that idiot by the neck, or his scream will summon all the Dragontooth Knights in Onyx!"

Hearing her mentor's instructions, Ness began to climb up the hole without hesitation, and almost immediately the Thieves Guild Elders and the Demon heard the "bang" of Ness pushing open the iron bars at the mouth of the sewer. Then there was a "pop", presumably someone above who had been pushed to the ground by the Dark Elf, but no one was heard screaming or anything else. Then a light shot down from the small hole, and it was Ness's face that appeared in the light: "Uncle Eder has fainted, come up!"

The small hole leading from the sewer to "Uncle Eder's kitchen" is not long, but it is clearly too small for the demon. The demon struggled to endure the pain of the giant wings behind him being rubbed against the cave wall, and secretly admired the halfling's size: not only was Edgar, the elder of the thieves' guild, unimpeded in the sewers, but it was also a complete breeze to climb out of this small hole at this moment. Finally, the demon crawled to the ground, and a somewhat strange-looking kitchen appeared in front of him.

A halfling dressed as a chef was lying on the floor, his body was in stark contrast to the other halfling in the kitchen, Edgar, the elder of the Thieves' Guild: Edgar looked as if someone had taken most of the fat from his body, so he looked very thin, and the body that he had taken from Edgar's body was all poured into the halfling on the floor, so he looked more than twice as wide as Edgar.

Unfortunately, all the muscles on the halfling who was unconscious on the ground were developing horizontally, and the demon roughly estimated his height, and thought that he was only about the same height as Edgar. That's it. Another problem struck the demons: the kitchen didn't look like it was a halfling house. Even most ordinary people wouldn't think they would be able to cook food here, from the stove as high as a demon's neck. The kitchen knife hanging on the wall, which is at least three times larger than normal, looks like a giant's kitchen.

Edgar was leaning down to look at the halfling lying on the ground, and Ness was playing with a kitchen knife in her hand, which was about half the size of the kitchen knife in a normal person's home. The demon's eyes began to wander around the kitchen until they saw a row of small wooden tables beside him. A large pile of cooking utensils was scattered on the table, spices in various colourful bottles were gathered in a large basket, and along the walls there were several stoves that appeared to have been set up improvisely, the flames licking the bottom of the pots hanging from the stoves.

"Eder!" a shrill female voice rang out outside the kitchen door.

"Here!" I saw the halfling lying on the floor suddenly jumped up. Answering the call from outside the door as if in a nervous reaction, Elder Edgar, who happened to have his face near him, quickly covered his nose, and Ness, who was on the side, noticed a tear falling from the corner of her mentor's eye.

"Eder, is the pork chop in sauce ready?Is the hard crocodile gumbo ready?Is Lancelot roast ready?Why don't you bring it out to me?"

From Eder's expression, it seemed as if the voice outside the door was the legendary instant death curse. Edel replied in a loud voice, "It's coming soon!" sauce...... Edgar?" Edel stared at the Thieves Guild Elder in front of him as if he had seen a ghost.

"Get your stuff out!" As soon as I hear another customer complaining about the speed of the service, you'll be paid half the month!"

As soon as Edel heard the word wages, he immediately shuddered and rushed to the wooden table that had been specially designed for him, much shorter than normal, picked up a few plates on the table and turned around and rushed out the door, while the elder of the Thieves' Guild and the dark elf Niss did not seem to appear in his eyes at all at this moment, but when he passed in front of the demon. The halfling chef glanced at his wings curiously.

Soon, Edel was back in the kitchen. He also had a long menu in his hand. The halfling cook closed the wooden door of the kitchen and pounced on the Thieves Guild Elder, "Oh, why are you here?" Edgar, was you the one who called me by my name in the sewers? I thought the rats in the sewers had finally called my name. Ness, you knocked this big bag out of my head, didn't you? it hurts! This ...... Is it a demon? It's the first time I've seen a demon, you...... Why do you stink so much?"

A series of words like dense raindrops poured out of the mouth of the halfling chef. Elder Edgar began to frown, and the Dark Elf Thief began to consider whether he needed to knock him unconscious again. Thankfully, Edel's voice was much drowned out before Ness's dagger handle could be struck, "Edgar, I've heard about the Thieves' Guild headquarters. I've been worried about your safety, remember what I said that thieves are the most vulnerable? Edgar, what's the matter with you now? Are you going to sit in my kitchen for a while, and then go down the drain? where do you go, let me think about it......?"

"No, Eder, we're not going back to the sewers. Taking advantage of the halfling's thoughts, Elder Edgar finally found an opportunity to answer his words. "The exit to the sewers is by the River Lena, and any dragontooth knight with eyes will see us clearly. ”

"Yes, Dragontooth Knights, how imposing their armor is! So, do you want to stay with me? There is enough space for you to live, but there is no clothes to change into, and no quilt to cover. Don't worry about eating, do you really want to stay here? Can you go out and take a shower before you come in? You're really ugly. Or I'll go out and fetch a bucket of water and come back......" Eder said without stopping, tossing the various ingredients into the pot according to the menu in hand. However, the dark elf Ness could no longer stand the surprisingly fast speed and gushing questions of the halfling cook, and finally reached out to cover Edel's mouth.

Taking advantage of the temporary pause in Edel's voice, Elder Edgar hurriedly asked, "No, no need. Eder, does anyone usually come into your kitchen?"

"No, the guests outside only care about the food on the plates that are served here, and no one thinks to come in and visit the chef who is trying to cook for them. And the hostesses will not walk in, because they will not be able to get even a copper plate of tip. Are you really going to stay here for a long time? Then maybe I can go out and help you get a bucket of water to come in so you can wash off the stench. Then I'll make you a big pie, I've calculated the ingredients for today, there should be a lot of good stuff left, pork, steak, eggs, ha, there should be caviar. Wait, do you need something to drink? I can make you some mint tea...... In!" After a deafening reply, Edel rushed out the door again with a few plates, this time the urging from outside the door to relieve everyone.

Elder Edgar smiled wryly at the demon, "This is my younger brother Edel, and talking non-stop is one of his hobbies. Indeed, neither Edgar nor Eder were good role models for the halfling race, Edgar was overly reticent among the halflings, and Edger's mouth seemed to never run out.

Edgar's plan was simple, since no one would come into the kitchen of his younger brother, halfling chef Edel, they could safely hide here until tonight. Although there are some drunks who spend the night in the lobby of the tavern outside, it shouldn't be difficult to find a sneak out into the street in the middle of the night. As long as the Thieves' Guild still has a stronghold in Onyx, everyone can find a place where they can spend the night comfortably. On the whole, the plan of the elders of the Thieves' Guild seems to be perfect, except for the possibility that they will have to be forced to listen to the halfling chef's tirades for most of the day.
