When Lai Ni insisted on following the team to the Northland, Qin Lun and the others seriously discussed Linda and Lai Ni's intentions.
Linda once said that Leni was entrusted by her teacher, but after analysis by Qin Lun and Hill, they thought it was just an excuse.
Lainey's rank is indeed very high, reaching the legendary level, but she is a scholar-type magician. The legendary strength is achieved through the accumulation of various magical knowledge and breakthroughs. It is fundamentally different from the legendary mage who advances in battle.
If she was really entrusted by Teacher Linda to protect Linda, why did Linda's teacher look for her? Look at the mage towers around the Candlekeep Islands. Candlekeep has no shortage of legendary powerhouses. Do you need to find Leni, one of the eight readers
What's more, Leni knew she was a house girl at a glance. What a house girl is, is the kind of woman who stays in the nest for thousands of years. The so-called travel is an excuse.
Since Lai Ni didn't come to Silvermoon City for Linda, then its intention is worth guessing.
Qin Lun and his two killer companions thought about it for a while, and guessed that there was a deep relationship between Candlekeep and the Silvermoon Alliance, or that there was a deep relationship between the great sage Lainee and Alustriel Silverhand. Only when a friend encounters a crisis, is it possible for a person like Leni to put down the research at hand and rush to help from thousands of miles away.
When Qin Lun and his party arrived in Silver Moon City, they felt the strong artistic atmosphere of this city, and they affirmed their own thoughts.
Silvermoon City is the center of knowledge and culture in the north, and the Silvermoon Alliance centered on it was once the territory of the Yeerlan Elf Empire, the Dwarf Santana Empire and the human Netheril Magic Empire. Even a pile of gravel here may be some kind of cultural relic from ancient times.
And Candlekeep attaches great importance to the protection of relics and ancient books. Is there no connection between these two organizations
People in Silvermoon City regard knowledge, art, and music as their lives. Their ideas are very similar to Candlekeep, and the lord of the city, Alustri Silverhand, is a representative figure among them. It is not surprising that she has the same interests and hobbies as Grand Sage Lainee, and they may even have been friends a long time ago.
Of course, it is actually a good thing that Great Sage Lainie is friends with Alustriel Silverhand. It is more convenient for Qin Lun and others to do things, and it is easier to gain the trust of Lord Silvermoon.
However, the question also arises, why does the great sage Lai Ni hide this relationship from Qin Lun and others? Qin Lun couldn't think of it at first, but after Hill reminded him, he finally understood. His current plot identity is the noble Seopia elf prince, not just any elf mercenary.
In Lai Ni's eyes, he obviously had a political purpose in going to the Silver Moon Alliance, so it was naturally inconvenient to reveal to Qin Lun the relationship between her and the Silver Moon City Lord.
From the expression of the female knight just now, it can be seen that this Anacilia Yusong has already known his identity. As for Qin Lun's identity, apart from Elisten and Idriya, among the new companions, he only told about the harp master—Mastashia.
Perhaps Linda and Leni had already guessed his identity, but they just didn't say it out loud. Mustasia is a harpist, and her ideal is to maintain the balance of the continent, but it is impossible to actively reveal Qin Lun's identity to the Lord of Silver Moon, Alustri. Although Elastra is in the safety of the Silvermoon Alliance and nothing can happen, but the identity of the Seopia elf prince is also very important and nothing can happen.
Although Qin Lun told Conan Rondo of the Light Hand about the plot name after arriving in Silvermoon City, there are quite a few elves with the same name and surname, and the Light Hand still needs to confirm this information. Even if Qin Lun's identity was confirmed, they would not tell City Lord Yinyue.
Thieves also have their own way. Although the group of Bright Hands are thieves, they are very loyal. At least before Qin Lun left Silvermoon City, the Hand of Light would not spread his identity indiscriminately.
Therefore, if Anacilia was able to confirm Qin Lun's identity, it was naturally Linda or Leni who disclosed it to the Silvermoon City officials. As soon as Anasilia entered the door, she first saluted Leni, and then brushed Qin Lun aside, obviously pretending not to know.
The reason for this is very simple. Qin Lun helping the Silvermoon Alliance as Laini's companion is completely different from Qin Lun helping the Silvermoon Alliance as a Seopia elf prince.
The former is just a personal friendship, while the latter is equivalent to the intention of the two countries to form an alliance, and the political meaning is completely different.
If you switch to other apostles, if you can successfully complete the epic plot, you don't have to care about this at all. But who is Qin Lun, he is fine if he doesn't take advantage of others, you still want to take advantage of him
You pretend you don’t know, okay, then I’ll just pretend that I don’t know you, everyone is going to the sky, each side will go!
Under normal circumstances, Lai Ni and Alaszhuo can completely ignore Qin Lun at such a critical moment. At most, wait until the Zhentarim has been dealt with, and then deal with Qin Lun slowly.
But not now, Qin Lun seems to have grasped the key clues of the Zhentarim. If you ignore him, he can naturally watch the show with his legs crossed. You said he has a mission and can't watch the show? You know, Great Sage Kelai Ni and City Lord Silver Moon don't know about it!
Originally, Qin Lun wasn't so fussy, but since Lai Ni wanted to play with her mind, he became interested instead.
Qin Lun didn't pay any attention to Anacilia's yelling behind her. Who is it, who is the prince? If you want to act, you have to be professional, and to be a passer-by, you have to be thorough, and you don't even recognize the status of a prince.
"Annacilia, you go back first! Tell Elastor, I'll see her later." Lainie calmly stopped Anasilia, signaling her to go back to deal with business.
"Yes!" The female knight waved her hand with a sad expression, and left the bar with the silver guard.
As soon as the silver-clothed guard left, Qin Lun and Hill immediately turned around with a smile on their faces, sat back at the table, and called the waiter to add another pot of wine.
"Why are you coming back? Don't you know us?" Linda said angrily after a while of anger.
"I suddenly remembered that we came first to this table." Qin Lun smiled and nodded towards Linda, looking polite, as if he was really explaining to a lady he didn't know. Seeing that, even Hill beside him couldn't help but secretly gave him a middle finger, praising him for his thick skin.
"You...Master Leni, I'm full." Linda pouted and stood up, gave Qin Lun a hard look, and walked away in anger.
"Prince Ferrar, you are too stingy!" Leni pushed her glasses, rolled her eyes, and accused unceremoniously.
"Master Lainie, do you think I look like a fool? I came to the Silver Moon Alliance out of good intentions, not to be played around with nothing to do." Seeing that Lainie stopped circling around, Qin Lun immediately put away his smile, He said lightly, "I am your companion, but you revealed my identity to the Lord Yinyue. Do you know what this is called? It's called betrayal!"
"...It's not that serious, aren't you here to help the Silver Moon Alliance?" Leni's eyes dodged a little.
"Who told you that I'm here to help the Silver Moon Alliance!" Qin Lun asked meaningfully.
"Yes..." Lai Ni just wanted to say it was Linda, but when she met Qin Lun's indifferent gaze, she swallowed it back.
No matter how old she is, she also knows that there are some things that she can know, but she can't say.
Among the people like Qin Lun, he and Elistine and Idriya must be regarded as very close friends, and he and Mustasha are also regarded as life-and-death friends, but the relationship with Linda is only ordinary friends, because most of the adventure time Neither are together.
As for Leni, to put it bluntly, the two have nothing to do with each other. Linda can tell Lai Ni everything she guessed, but Lai Ni cannot tell Qin Lun that Linda told her.
Ordinary things don't matter, Qin Lun's plot identity and what he wants to do in the Silver Moon Alliance are definitely secrets. Strictly speaking, it is not something a friend would do to spread such things casually.
"Okay, Linda and I made a mistake, how can we make up for it?" After thinking through this point, the great sage Lainie spread her hands in a very bare hand, expressing that she admits defeat.
"I originally came to the Silver Moon Alliance in a private capacity. I will meet with her in private after I have finished assisting the Lord of Silver Moon and asked her to owe her a favor." Seeing Laini's concession, Qin Lun finally stopped his sullen face and said with a smile , "However, since you have notified City Lord Yinyue of my identity in advance, the nature of the matter is different."
"Why is it different?" Leni was a little ignorant. After all, she was just a scholar immersed in research. She was very intelligent, but not so politically sensitive.
"After all, I am the future Seopia elf prince of Yaoyue Royal Court, Master Leni, do you really treat me like an ordinary mercenary!" Qin Lun sighed, and his temperament changed. Said confidently and reservedly.
"If the Silver Moon City Lord already knows my identity, then I will no longer be able to personally intervene in the crisis of the Silver Moon Alliance. Since you have notified the other party, then I will trouble the great sage to inform His Excellency Elastra again, she Want to see me? Yes! But at the Silver Moon Festival, I will officially introduce my identity to all the alliance lords."
"Do you need to be so troublesome!" The little face of the great sage Lainie wrinkled into a ball, and now she knew how difficult this silver-haired elf who had been smiling all the way was.
On such a formal occasion as the Silver Moon Celebration, introducing a Seopia elven prince to the Silver Moon Lord Council, even if the two sides have not formed an alliance in private, I am afraid that other forces on the mainland will not believe it!
"You just need to inform the Silver Moon City Lord. As for whether to accept me, the elf prince, I will leave it to that 'Madam Hope' to decide!" Qin Lun smiled slightly, he knew what Alaszhuo would do Decide.
If it was only related to Alustriel himself, it is estimated that the Lord of Silver Moon would carefully weigh the pros and cons, and would never formally meet with Qin Lun right away. But the problem is that the crisis that the Silver Moon Alliance is now facing is related to the founding of the country and the lives of other city lords. Alustri will definitely compromise in the end.
"How was my performance just now?" Seeing Leni walking out of the bar with a dejected expression on his face, Qin Lun looked at the shepherd proudly.
"Noble and glamorous to the extreme, comparable to an Oscar winner!" The old god stick smiled and gave his companion a thumbs up.
At the same time, a series of reminders from the starry sky unexpectedly sounded in the apostle soul seals of the two.
