"Hey, Angelo, I just met an old friend, are you going to leave now?" Qin Lun raised his glass and shouted at the mage who had been wearing the hood.
Qin Lun's shout was very abrupt in the chaotic banquet hall, and some guests around him even glared at him. However, it was obvious that the hooded mage who was about to quietly leave the banquet hall also became the focus of everyone's attention.
The hooded mage suddenly turned his head, and looking towards Qin Lun, his face seemed to be that of the former mage Angelo. The only difference from Angelo is that the pupils of his eyes are like jet-black obsidian, and it seems that even his mind will be absorbed at a glance.
He took a deep look at Qin Lun, as if he wanted to engrave the appearance of the silver-haired elf in his mind, but he didn't stop on his feet, and even quickened his pace and ran out of the banquet hall.
At this time, Erastriol, who was squatting beside the victim, had already heard Qin Lun's shout, and his beautiful eyes fixed on the hooded mage who was about to leave like lightning, with a hint of ferocity faintly showing on his charming face.
Although the Lord of Silvermoon wants to catch the turtle in the urn, the Zhentarim will kill all the assassins in the future, so he did not reveal the truth to most of the guests and the Silver Guard, but he is not as vicious as Hill imagined, and wants to take the opportunity to get rid of those who oppose him. lord of the city.
In fact, the two Lords of Aylward and Cuerva, who opposed her more than four months ago, each arranged powerful guards. It's just that at this time, the legendary strong man beside Lord Cuerva disappeared, and it was unknown whether he was lured away by the enemy or had already been killed.
"Catch him!" There were too many people in the banquet hall, and they were all around the victim at this time. Erastrio wanted to stay here to appease the guests who didn't know the truth, so he obviously couldn't do it himself, so he pointed at the assassin who ran out of the hall and shouted.
Following Erastriol's shout, three people jumped up from various corners of the banquet hall, and quickly chased after the assassin pretending to be Angelo.
The faces of these three people were all covered with veils, and they didn't seem to want to reveal their identities in front of people just now. The leader was the most powerful, as if he was wrapped in the power of a storm, and the place he passed was like a typhoon passing through the border, almost blowing the lords and their guards along the way to the ground.
Among the remaining two, when the one on the left jumped up, he had already transformed into a vigorous ape, holding the flower and fruit vines hanging from his head, and just swung across the crowd. When it was about to fall to the ground, its size changed drastically again, from an ape to a leopard, gracefully stepped on the floor, and rushed out of the banquet hall, second only to the storm-like leader at a speed.
This person actually completed two transformations just between rising and falling, and the eyes of the guests who were also druids in the hall stared straight. Many legendary druids couldn't do this.
The last man on the right is the slowest, but his movements are also the most exaggerated. This person is very short, almost reaching the waist and abdomen of a normal human being. On the contrary, he is stout and grows horizontally. It is obvious that he is a dwarf.
After jumping up, he didn't chase out of the banquet hall, but crashed directly into the window of the banquet hall, like a huge rock with oak as the frame and amethyst as the mirror, smashed into pieces, like a huge lead ball pointing downward fall.
"No, this is the greeting hall?!" The guests and waiters next to the dwarf were stunned, not knowing how to react for a while.
The Supreme Palace is a castle-style palace, similar to most castles, the closer the building is, the higher the height will be. From the Unicorn Gate at the front, the Silver Stairway climbs up to the Greeting Hall, now used for banquets, followed by the Hall of the Exalted, and finally the Silver Throne, where the stairs end.
Although the greeting hall is only on the second floor, the palace is grand and majestic. The second floor and the staircase corridor outside the window are at least more than 30 meters high, that is, ten floors high. The strong dwarf probably knew that speed was not his strong point, so he simply jumped outside and formed a front and rear flank attack on the assassin with the two previous strong men.
"The ones chasing out just now are the Storm Queen and Master Jaran Nord!"
"Isn't the Storm Queen in Agoralon, why is she back..."
"Since Master Jalan Nord has taken action, that assassin will definitely not be able to escape..."
The guests in the banquet hall slowly reacted in shock, and some of them quickly guessed the two strong men who chased out of the banquet hall first. Although no one knows the strong dwarf who jumped out of the window for the time being, people who can ignore the height of more than 30 meters are probably not weak.
"The Queen of the Storm, Elaslan Silverhand, the lord of Agoraron, one of the six sisters of Elastra!" Mustasia's eyes flashed, and she muttered to herself, "It seems that the Lord Silvermoon prepared Although there are not many people, they are all very strong.”
"It seems that we have nothing to do. Being targeted by three powerful men above the legend, the assassin of the Zhentarim will never escape!" The great sage Lainie patted his chest in relief, "As long as the truth comes to light, I believe Santa will The conspiracy of the Tallinn society is bankrupt."
"No, it's too easy! How can a successful assassination be done without a follow-up partner? Or is it another time... to divert the tiger away from the mountain?" Qin Lun felt a little uneasy in his heart, and suddenly turned to Lorraine and asked, "Lorraine, Ai How long has it been since Mi Li returned to Silvermoon City?"
"Oh?" The dwarf prince was slightly taken aback, and quickly replied, "More than two months, less than three months, Feral, why are you asking this?"
The last time Qin Lun exited the world of Toril at Baldur's Gate was four months ago, but it took Emily more than a month to return to Silvermoon City from Baldur's Gate, so she It was less than four months in Silvermoon City.
"In other words, Angelo has only stayed in Silvermoon City for more than two months. In addition to the mage's dislike of socializing, even if someone finds out about his existence, it may be less than two months. And the Zhentarim will The conspiracy started more than four months ago. At that time, people should have started to search for the dead soul flower... "
Qin Lun raised his head and whispered to himself, "Then their original plan didn't focus on Angelo..."
Seeing Qin Lun's absent-minded appearance, everyone around was a little puzzled, only Mustasha, Hill and Rand's expressions changed slightly, as if they realized something.
"If the Zhentarim didn't initially intend to use Angelo's identity to alienate the city lords of the Silvermoon Alliance, then our guess is off." Rand said solemnly, his face sinking, "their plan may have something to do with it. There are several alternatives!"
"That's right. Judging from what happened tonight, if you only want to poison one or two city lords who oppose Alastriol, it seems that you don't need to be so troublesome..." Hill suddenly changed his face, and asked back, "Masta Xia, please describe the effect of the dead soul flower potion again!"
"The dead soul flower potion has the effect of polluting the soul of the living. The poisoned person may not die, but will become a living dead without wisdom! This kind of poisonous potion is generally only made and used by necromancers and liches."
Mustasia frowned and told the story again, then asked in surprise, "What do you mean..."
"Necromancers and the living dead!" Qin Lun lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and he grinned and showed his white teeth, "Isn't this obvious enough? The assassination of Alustriol's opposition can drive apart the Silver Moon Alliance, but no matter what It's not perfect. The most perfect plan is of course..."
"No, Alaszhuo is in danger..." Before Qin Lun finished speaking, everyone understood.
"Ayla... be careful!" The great sage Leni, who had the best relationship with the Lord of Silvermoon, turned pale and shouted at Alustri, who was still squatting beside the victim, trying to save the centaur lord.
"Master City Lord!" Anacilia, who had been following Qin Lun closely like a tail, also came to her senses during the discussion among the crowd, and immediately jumped up and rushed towards the City Lord Yinyue.
At this moment, the centaur lord who had been lying on the ground twitching all four hooves suddenly calmed down, bloody eyes glowed in his whitened pupils, he raised his upper body with a kick of his hind hoof, and took out a sharp short knife from under his robe with his right hand. Sword, stabbed towards Alastriol who was close at hand.
As for the guards who had surrounded the centaur lord and followed him to the banquet, the two closest to him suddenly turned around, sandwiched Alustriol between the left and the right, and took out a dagger from their bosoms , pierced the back of her head like lightning.
A large organization like the Zhentarim Society, which can compete with a country, has been brewing a conspiracy for four months. Even if the plan is aimed at the Church of God, there will be some possibility of success.
Qin Lun and others rescued the old butler Mason in the Troll's Claw and got the secret letter from the Zhentarim Society. They can only be regarded as partially aware of this conspiracy. Although they know it is aimed at the Silver Moon Alliance, they don't know the specific content.
After they saw Angelo's body at the farm, the conspiracy plan was partially revealed. However, no matter how high the IQs of Qin Lun and the others were, and no matter how meticulous their thinking was, they only guessed part of the plot.
Using Angelo's identity to assassinate the opposition of Lord Silvermoon was indeed part of his plan. But this part of the content is too simple. There are not no smart people in the Silver Moon Alliance, and there will always be someone who will contact this matter with the Zhentarim.
What's more, as long as the spiritual leader of the Silver Moon Alliance, Ailas Zhuo, is still alive, this kind of trick may not be effective. The prestige accumulated by the Lord of Silver Moon over the past few decades cannot be completely offset by one or two assassinations.
The Zhentarim have been hostile to the Silvermoon Alliance for so long, and they know it well. Qin Lun didn't understand this, so he misjudged the situation.
Therefore, the focus of this plan is not to frame, but to let the city lord who has been turned into a living dead by the dead soul flower poison be controlled by the necromancer to assassinate Alustri. Only this kind of unexpected attack could hurt the mighty Lord Yinyue.
When Alastriol and the opposition die together, the Silver Moon Alliance will become suspicious of each other because of the loss of their spiritual leader, and will truly fall into civil strife, and the nation-building plan will naturally end without a problem.
Time seemed to be completely still at this moment, and the attacks on Alaszhuo from three different directions were like three poisonous snakes that cooperated tacitly, completely blocking the retreat of the Silver Moon City Lord.
Judging from the unusual luster on the surface of the short sword and dagger, they should all be smeared with inexplicable alchemy potions. This time, it is estimated that it is no longer the dead soul flower poison, but a poison that can kill legendary powerhouses like City Lord Silver Moon.
