Conquest

Chapter 144: Assassination

Views:

The melodious sound of the ding dong is like falling from a clear spring, and each note is like broken jade beads. Just listening to the sound of the piano is enough to make people feel drunk.

The wide chair was covered with a thick and soft bear skin of pure white. A tall, graceful and feminine young man leaned against the chair, stepped on the bear's head, supported one hand on the armrest of the chair, supported his cheek, and half-squinted. Eyes, quietly watching the person playing the piano in the room.

Just not far from him, behind the curtain, the curtain is like a veil, rolled with a touch of gold, and the thread strung between the beads is pure gold!

Behind the curtain, a beautiful figure is sitting there, with a harp in front of him, ten slender fingers are slowly plucking, the strings vibrate, and the beautiful to the slightest sound of the piano jumps out like magic.

The woman was facing the curtain sideways, her long hair was loose and softly attached to her side and back, but that hair was actually a rare light purple! Coupled with the long black gauze coat, just such a side view has already made people look a little strange.

The face on the side has a slightly pointed chin, but the contours of the cheeks are round and full, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the complexion is like jade. Such a face should be charming and moving, upside down all living beings, but between the eyebrows , but it seems to contain a three-point coldness. If you look closely, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, which makes this face a bit wild.

What's even more amazing is that, looking from the side of such a beautiful face, the eyes are actually light purple, and only the pupils jump out a little black.

Beneath the black veil is a slender figure, thin shoulders, a full chest that looks from the side, and a waist that is full of hands, and what is even more attractive is the plump and straight legs under the black veil , and the snow-white bare feet on a mass of soft fox fur.

The tall young man was a little crazy when he heard it, and suddenly stood up subconsciously. His tall body was tall and straight, but he was not bloated at all. He strode towards the curtain and slowly stretched out his hand to lift it.

The woman playing the piano inside did not respond, but continued to play the piano sound more and more like a magic sound, and a trace of obsession flashed in the eyes of the tall young man. There was a hint of fervour on that already feminine face...

Finally, the footsteps came closer, and he stretched out a hand, as if he wanted to touch the woman playing the piano... Just when his fingertips almost touched the woman's cheek...

"Ding!"

The last note of the piano sound came to an abrupt end!

As if the magic power was interrupted, the young man was shocked and his face became clear. Seeing that he had already stretched out his hand that was about to touch the other's cheek, he couldn't help opening his mouth and smiled embarrassingly.

"the last time."

The woman didn't raise her head, just looked at the strings lightly, but the voice was as cold as jade: "Your Highness, this is the last time. If there is another time, I promise, your hand will not be yours. on the wrist."

When she said this, the content of the words was full of sternness, but the tone was indifferent, as if she was not saying such a harsh warning, but with a kind of indifference.

The smile on the man's face became more and more embarrassing, and he withdrew his hand and put it behind him: "The harp... Alas, I've been thinking about the sound of your harp for a long time. You play... It really looks like her."

The woman finally turned her head and looked directly at the man, but when she turned her face, she was surprised that the beautiful face that should turn all living beings upside down was only half of it!

Half of the cheek is covered with an iron face, and the iron face goes down along the line between the eyebrows and nose, covering half of the cheek firmly, only showing the eyes!

Such a beautiful face, under this half iron face, looks extremely strange.

This woman, of course, is Via.

"His Royal Highness Ke Kelan, I don't care what you said. What I said... But please remember it best, Your Highness."

Wea's eyes didn't waver, she gently let go of the strings, and folded her hands into her sleeves.

Ke Kelan smiled, the embarrassment on his face faded, as if he was very relaxed: "Miss Via... It seems that this is not the attitude towards allies."

"I don't care about that." Via said coldly, "You are just my protection target. Within 100 days, it's fine if you don't die. As for the rest, I don't care if you break your limbs or something."

Ke Kelan laughed, turned and strode back to his chair. After leaning on it, he looked at Wea, and seemed a little dissatisfied: "I've always wondered, that teacher of yours—did all his disciples, Are they all weirdos like you? I heard that in your empire, the prince who likes male style is also your teacher's apprentice, right?"

Via walked over slowly, knelt quietly on a piece of felt not far in front of Ke Kelan, his eyelids drooped, and said coldly, "Correct your words... I'm not from the Byzantine Empire, so please don't. Use words like 'your empire'."

Ke Kelan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Which country are you from? Landis? Or are you freelance?"

Via still looked indifferent: "Do people have to belong to a country?"

Ke Kelan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Okay, I won't ask."

Then he frowned again and said, "That teacher of yours... ah, why did he send someone like you here. Although you are a beautiful woman, your temperament is too boring. Facing you, at the beginning, he looked stubborn. It's very eye-catching, but after a long time, the breath on your body can make people freeze."

"It's better to be frozen than to be stabbed to death."

Via closed his eyes.

Kirkland is blocked.

Because, he couldn't refute this woman.

In fact, in the last three days, if it wasn't for the protection of the woman in front of him, he would have almost died at least three times!

The first time, when he was riding a horse, he was dissuaded by this woman when he got on the horse, and only later did he discover that there was a finger-long sharp needle hidden under the saddle! It was hidden under the saddle, and you couldn't see it if you weren't careful, but if you got on it, it would be stabbed into your thighs. I checked it later and found that the sharp needle was smeared with a strange giant poison. According to the witch doctor around him, that poison could be overturned even by a dragon!

The second time, the woman checked his bedroom and pointed to the vase in the bedroom and asked: Who arranged this. It is a kind of flower that is usually quite rare, but it is said that the fragrance of the flower is fragrant, and it is liked by many Odin noble women, but this kind of flower is rare, so it is quite expensive. Originally, Ke Kelan didn't care about such trivial matters as servants set up. But in the end, Via's attitude like a big enemy made Ke Kelan understand that something was wrong.

Later, Via explained: It turned out that Ke Kelan had a habit of drinking a kind of wine every day, which was added with a spice for preservation. Many people know this habit.

And it happens to be this kind of flower that is displayed in the room, and there is a problem!

Originally, this flower, on its own, did not have any problems, nor did it have any poison. But it happens that the spice of the wine Ke Kelan drinks, once neutralized with this floral fragrance, will produce a strange toxin. This toxin, without any signs in the short term, will slowly erode the human body. First, it will make people lazy, then the body will become weak and weak, but when it accumulates to a certain level, people will suddenly fall ill and finally vomit blood. And die!

Via also explained: This kind of poisoning method must be done by experts who are proficient in medicine.

Ke Kelan began to be suspicious, but after the investigation, he finally found out that the maid who was in charge of the decoration of his room was indeed a spy sent by another prince Odin who was hostile to him!

The third time, just last night, a dancer that Ke Kelan had newly collected. During the dance, halfway through the dance, Viya, who was next to him, suddenly burst into flames and pulled out a dagger from his waist. In the past, put a sword through the throat of that beautiful dancer on the spot!

At that time, Ke Kelan was shocked, but Via didn't say a word and returned to his actions, and quietly picked up a silk scarf to wipe the blood on the dagger.

Ke Kelan questioned the reason, and Via replied indifferently: "That woman's nails."

Later, Ke Kelan asked people to check carefully, only to find that the nails of the dancer's left index finger had been deliberately thinned, as sharp as a blade, and a strange poison was smeared in the nails! Once a person's skin is cut with those thin nails, even a little bit of oily skin can penetrate the poison.

This is a kind of chronic poison, which is not noticed within ten days, and after ten days, the poison has spread all over the body! Totally helpless! Immediately, the skin began to itch, and after fifteen days, the whole body festered and died! !

After Ke Kelan found out, he couldn't help but change color even though he was already deeply scheming.

That dancer was originally going to sleep for him that night! If there is no Weiya, at night, undress and untie, naked and facing each other, in the cloud and rain, emotional, and the fingernails lightly scratched on myself, I will not notice it! At that time, I am afraid that I will die!

After these three times, finally, Ke Kelan was completely convinced of this cold beauty.

He originally thought that the mysterious ally in Byzantium had sent someone to protect him this time, but he still didn't take it seriously. With his own skills, he was considered a first-class powerhouse. Why should he be afraid of assassination

And so three times, he was convinced!

Afterwards, Ke Kelan couldn't help but ask Via: "How many assassination methods do you know?"

Via thought for a while: "I've seen all the known assassination cases on the mainland for three hundred years. In conclusion, there are a total of 114 kinds of methods that are completely different."

"Then how many species do you know?"

"One hundred and fourteen."

Ke Kelan sighed: "I can train a disciple like you, the first wise man of Byzantium, Cavie Hill. In his own words, I don't know how amazing he is."

※※※

Caviehir is sitting there now, with a leisurely expression, and those wise and gentle and clear eyes are quietly staring into the distance.

This is a long street, with a restaurant facing the street, and Cavie Hill is sitting at the window on the second floor.

And where his eyes were watching, it was on the street, and Xia Ya was walking leisurely.

Caviehir seemed to sigh softly and said to himself, "Is it really appropriate to meet him so soon..."
