To say it's lunch is actually very humble. Luncheon or reception is more suitable for such a title.
He did not leave the capital building, but took the elevator down to the tenth floor of the building. As the elevator door was pushed open, the lights were bright and glittering, and there were all kinds of hard-to-see alcohol on the market It was placed in one place, and a person in charge shuttled back and forth with a wine glass.
The food is almost a collection of gourmet food that can be seen in the entire Lorant, all kinds of lamb chops in Tallinn District, charcoal-grilled bacon in Qiulin District, many desserts in Chunlin District, roast goose with spirits in Donglin District, etc. They were all placed on the long table one by one, and in the center of the venue, a bonfire had been set up, and a complete white cow was being carried onto the grill.
The brush covered with golden oil slowly and carefully brushed the cleaned cow's body. When the oil came into contact with the flame, it immediately made a "sizzling, sizzling" sound that was very appetizing.
Ye Qi glanced around, shrugged his shoulders and led the female cavalry captain and Chameleon to a side corner. He completely lost interest in such a reception in the name of lunch.
The female cavalry captain also frowned slightly, but she was thinking about other aspects: "There are less than twenty people attending such a luncheon, which is a bit of a waste!"
The chameleon obviously saw what the female cavalry commander was thinking, and said in a low voice: "This is an expression, not only showing respect for the guests, but also showing the sincerity of the host... However, the helper that Desa Speaker found is not ordinary. , at least, it took a lot of effort to find the white bull!"
The white bull represents holiness on Lorant, not the holiness generally referred to by the Holy See, but a broad sense. Even, in various myths and legends, the white bull is the best gift for worshiping the gods. It can appease the wrath of the gods and pray for endless glory.
Although it is the 252nd year of the Liberal Calendar, the age of the gods has long since disappeared, but this does not mean that the white bull has no value, on the contrary, its value is getting higher and higher. After all, at the banquet of some nobles and rich people In the world, whether such food can appear has become a status symbol.
Ye Qi sat on the side, patted the back of the female cavalry captain's hand, and said with a smile: "Besides, they are very careful and cautious!"
Being on the tenth floor underground is enough to explain some problems; however, these problems have nothing to do with Ye Qi, and now he only needs to take the two ladies to this luncheon and leave; as for the others? Naturally, it was handed over to the new Desa Speaker to deal with it.
Undoubtedly, the female cavalry captain and the chameleon knew Ye Qi's thoughts well, so even if the luncheon started, the two would stay by Ye Qi's side. This is a spring outing, I eat my own food, and the people around me are irrelevant.
However, it is obvious that even if they do this, Ye Qi and his party cannot avoid the sights; among them, the eyes of the rich and famous people who belonged to the highest government sitting on the right before are particularly curious, and they are all exploring Ye Qi's origin; or cast a curious look at the chameleon - although the chameleon has enough reputation, it is not a strange thing to appear at the previous inauguration ceremony, but appearing here is undoubtedly a bit inconsistent.
No matter how great the fame is, it's just an actor who relies on his appearance and voice. How can he attend the luncheon with them
Such thoughts are definitely not in the minority, but none of the people who can participate in this luncheon is a fool. They all have considerable patience to explore and ask about one thing, rather than recklessly causing themselves unnecessary losses.
Ye Qi was satisfied with this.
Those probing gazes, although they thought they were well concealed and they were invisible, but it was still very impossible to hide Ye Qi's words. This had nothing to do with status, but just because of their strength; They have incomparably rich wealth and a jaw-dropping status, but in terms of strength, they are ordinary people, and even a few of them are not as good as ordinary people.
For ordinary people, Ye Qi always has unimaginable tolerance.
However, this is Ye Qi alone, and the rest of the people sitting on the left, who represent the mysterious side of the dark world, naturally look at these people with contempt—the people who represent the mysterious side of the dark world, they They all have their own standards of measurement, and they care more about strength than money or status; or in their view, strength represents money and status.
And those who have money and status but no strength, their status is naturally unstable, and they are undoubtedly the best cash machines.
On the mysterious side and in the dark world, there are definitely not one or two people who are bold and reckless.
Therefore, after the luncheon began, a very strange atmosphere emerged—a group of people looked at another group of people with probing eyes, and this group of people looked at the group of people in front of them as if they were looking at commodities.
And this kind of atmosphere has been eased only after the appearance of the new speaker.
"Everyone, I'm very sorry, I went to deal with some things... I'm late!"
While speaking, Speaker Desa raised his wine glass and drank it full; all the people present raised their glasses one after another, showing understanding smiles—Desa’s late arrival was expected, and he was previously The people who were taken away, and those who might emerge, undoubtedly needed him to deal with it. Even if only one result was checked, it would take quite a long time; being able to arrive within 15 minutes of the luncheon started, already It shows that Desa takes the people present seriously.
With the arrival of the host of the luncheon, the whole atmosphere immediately went up a level. Those rich and famous people surrounded Desa and toasted frequently, talking non-stop; Desa smiled one by one. while people from the mysterious side and the dark world watched everything indifferently in their own small circle.
Even the owner of the Tower of Sacred Relics didn't have the slightest intention to blend in. The tower owner didn't hold the wine glass at all, but took a bottle in one hand, bit the cork with a 'bang', and poured it; The 'vulgar and disrespectful' behavior naturally disdain those gathered together, and they responded with repeated sneers.
"The sheep are mocking the lion... tsk tsk, pathetic fellows!"
The strange wolf commented in Ye Qi's heart like this, but Ye Qi rarely had any rebuttals, so he nodded and said in a special way of singing: "The person who is ridiculed doesn't care, it's not because of timidity, it's just that Because of ignorance... But who can understand that this kind of ignorance is not tolerance, but a kind of compassion? They don't understand, so they don't understand, so they continue to laugh, and eventually they are smashed to pieces!"
Strange Wolf rolled his eyes and said, "Don't take other people's poems as your own!"
Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I'm just quoting, without any other meaning... Or do you think that the white bull we're eating has the same meaning as the white bull given to you?"
The strange wolf snorted coldly and said: "Of course it's different! It's just some food without the light of the Holy Spirit, how could it become a sacred object for our sacrifices... But even so, you who participated in the slaughter of white bulls and ate them The guy should be punished too!"
Ye Qi twitched his lips and said, "Come on, it's Liberty now, and the gods have already gone away... If you want to taste that cow, I can help you find one or two; however, the light of the Holy Spirit What is it?"
The strange wolf snorted, "I don't need such food... As for the light of the holy spirit? What are you going to pay for?"
Ye Qi asked back: "Aren't two white bulls enough? Your appetite is so big?"
Wolf reiterated, "I don't need food like this—I mean a deal, our deal!"
Ye Qi thought about it seriously, and then shrugged: "Forget it, I'm just curious, it's not worth what I pay!"
When Ye Qi was contemplating, the strange wolf was still wondering whether this was the rhythm of completing a big business unintentionally. After Ye Qi replied, he realized that this was all Ye Qi was joking with it; obviously, its The contractor has no intention of trading at all.
"You rascal!" After the strange wolf snorted, he said suddenly: "That intelligence dealer just exchanged a message with the people lurking here... Basically, 90% of the people who participated in sabotaging the inauguration ceremony were arrested. *Falled or caught, but they still have a secret here, waiting for an opportunity!"
Ye Qi laughed: "The preparations are really comprehensive!"
The strange wolf said disdainfully: "It's still the old routine of poisoning and assassination—the methods of assassins are always so simple!"
Ye Qi said very seriously: "Simple, has its effectiveness been proven soon? In history, there are countless kings, grand dukes, or high-level officials of various forces who have been killed like this!"
The strange wolf continued his point of view, it snorted coldly: "I have lost my life, so what's the use of something so simple and effective?"
Ye Qi sighed softly, and said slowly: "Assassins are not killers—the latter will flee thousands of miles if they miss a hit, while the former comes with the belief that all enemies will die... Maybe life will be lost, But there is no complaint or regret, this is the belief of the assassins!"
The strange wolf asked curiously: "Do you have a good impression of such a person?"
Ye Qi shook his head and said, "It's not because of affection, but because of respect—those who risk their lives should be respected!"
Weilang laughed strangely: "What if you are enemies? Will you let him go?"
Although the assassin who appeared here at this moment was to assassinate the Chairman of Desa, Ye Qi naturally couldn't ignore it after he knew about it. The form gave Ye Qi reasons to take care of.
And this is undoubtedly on the opposite side of the assassin who Ye Qi said is fighting with his life.
"of course not!"
Ye Qi said it very simply, he said word by word: "He has his beliefs, and I have mine - even if it is respect, I will not go against my own beliefs!"
The strange wolf looked as if he had expected it, and snorted softly: "The guy with all the reasons!" After a pause, it continued: "That, that's right, it's the guy standing at the table right now, It's the assassin in your mouth... Next, it's time for your beliefs to collide!"
There was a hint of schadenfreude in the strange wolf's words, and he looked like he was watching a good show—in fact, it was the same. Regarding the existence of the strange wolf who was once a god, isn't everything at this moment just a drama? Although Desa has become the speaker of the supreme government at this moment, he is just a mortal in the eyes of the strange wolf; even, it is precisely because Desa has the status of the speaker that he has the qualification to let him watch.
And Ye Qi's gaze swept across the man who was dressed like a priest without any lingering - the man had undergone a certain amount of training, but he didn't show the slightest fluctuation of 'strength', that is to say, The opponent has no special power, only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
However, it was such a slight strength that made Ye Qi narrow his eyes slightly.
After all, for an assassin, concealment and hiding before attacking are more important than strength; what's more, although the target he wants to assassinate is noble, his strength is not as good as that of ordinary people. Many people with 'power' acted as bodyguards, but once mixed in, who would be interested in an ordinary person
Looking at the people around who represent the mysterious side and the dark world, when they walk past each other, they don't care, and you will understand the truth - it's not that they are not strong enough, but because they are indeed Strong, will have such a misunderstanding.
With such powerful people as us gathered together, who would dare to assassinate them if they were not truly strong
It's a pity that the assassin, or the person who hired the assassin, just grasped such an idea!
Subconsciously, out of the corner of Ye Qi's eyes, Ye Qi glanced at Archbishop House who was whispering to several people—could he be the mastermind behind the scenes
Ye Qi thought so.
At this time, Speaker Desa said a few words to the people around him apologetically, and walked towards the corner where Ye Qi and the two ladies were holding a wine glass; The occupant also happened to walk to the other side, where Archbishop House was waving.
Speaker Desa and the attacker are not in the same direction, but they are not parallel. According to the speed of the two, they will meet at a point in about a few seconds; Seeing Chairman Desa show a respectful expression, just like other demonstrators around him.
And Speaker Desa didn't have any precautions. In his opinion, this is the safest place, and he doesn't need to worry at all; therefore, the new speaker, who is not strict, kindly nodded at the demon. Nodding, so naturally he would not see a small, double-bore pistol made of ivory that appeared in the opponent's hand just as the two were about to pass by.
At this moment, a ray of murderous intent appeared irresistibly!
The inviters who belonged to the mysterious side in the hall were stunned, looking for the source of the murderous aura, and the eyes of the tower master of the holy relic tower instantly locked on the killer, and shouted: "Be careful!"
Before the voice fell, the whole person rushed over; however, he stopped abruptly in mid-air—because, he was no longer needed, and beside the assassin, a figure suddenly appeared.
The assassin dressed as an assassin, after revealing the pistol from his sleeve, pulled the trigger without hesitation, but the gun didn't go off.
The pocket pistol, which seems to be no different from a handicraft, seems to be wrapped by a pair of invisible hands from the tip of the gun. With a sharp flash of kung fu, it is broken down into parts all over the place—a sharp feeling flashes Fleeting, fast, and very accurate, the parts of the gun that fell to the ground had smooth and even cuts, and even the assassin's hand was not injured at all.
"There are assassins! There are assassins!"
Such shouts rang out in the next moment, filling the entire luncheon scene. These people who were handsome before, not only turned pale, but also panicked. They quickly searched for a place to hide themselves. Even Desa, the new speaker, had a stiff expression on his face. After all, he was the one who was going to be assassinated.
The people on the mysterious side are still indifferent except the tower owner of the sacred object, and the rest of the people have an ugly look on their faces. They are all thinking about what will happen to them if Desa is successfully assassinated in front of them. Such an accusation-the Supreme Government will certainly turn against them, and their names will be widely known because of this assassination, which will bring countless stains to their reputation.
When people mention them, they say 'Look, this is the guy who let the new Mr. Speaker get killed by a normal guy in his own banquet hall! '' Poor Mr. Speaker, if I were here, such a thing would never happen! '
This is almost certain, especially some of their enemies, naturally they will not be stingy with such an opportunity to discredit them.
Therefore, the representatives on the mysterious side immediately surrounded the chairman and looked at the assassin who had lost his mobility with unkind eyes—in an instant, several kinds of effects such as paralysis, restraint, freezing gas, venom, etc. His ability made this well-trained assassin completely paralyzed on the ground, unable to even blink.
"To do such a bloody thing... my lord will not forgive such a lamb!"
With a holy face and angry eyes, Archbishop House took a step forward, stood in front of the assassin, and sternly shouted: "Don't tell your origin, and use this to atone for your sins!"
