The small talk with Quintus didn't last long.
Ask noticed keenly that although the other party said "no doubt", there seemed to be some tentative intentions in his subconscious.
After all, it was his father, not himself, who made the judgment that "Cang Qing Sword could not be a traitor."
In addition, Quintus also showed great interest in the violent explosion that occurred in the center of the town at that time, but for some reason he did not ask any questions.
Since the other party didn't ask, Ask was naturally happy to play dumb and pretend that he didn't notice the other party's curiosity.
So after some polite probing, Quintus said goodbye to Ask and left, saying he was "going back to host a cocktail party."
Ask watched him leave the balcony, thinking about what happened before.
That was after he killed the white assassin and woke up in Hood's room. Then the Quintus officer led a group of people in to thank him for saving the city of Orin.
In fact, according to Rasul, the Ilanian assassins and the city lord behind Quintus are actually in the same group.
In other words, I actually ruined their plan? That's why they started investigating my team
After he agreed to become an honorary member of the Irania Assassin Organization, Rasul should have stopped supplying intelligence in this regard, so Quintus from the city lord's power came out in person to test him.
As for the theory that the Blue Sword was harmless, it was not necessarily as Quintus said, that he made a judgment based on a surname. Maybe Rasul came forward to vouch for it.
All kinds of speculations, inferences and clues went through his mind, and out of the corner of his eye Ask caught a glimpse of a petite figure standing at the edge of the crowd.
It was Sheila in a mask.
"What did he tell you?" Sheila said in a low voice as she quietly walked to the edge of the balcony.
"Very interested in our strength." Ask replied.
"That's all?" Sheila was a little surprised, but also seemed relieved.
"The Medea incident was an accident." Ask said calmly, "She showed extraordinary strength in the war, which increased our exposure in the official circles. As the son of the city lord, it was natural for him to come and test and confirm it in person."
"I had a nightmare yesterday." Sheila covered her forehead in pain and frowned. "I dreamed that my grandfather fiercely questioned me why I abandoned my responsibilities and chose to become a wandering mercenary."
"So I saw him talking to you just now, and I thought he had discovered..."
As she spoke, she gradually fell silent. "Maybe I'm just too nervous. I need a drink."
"I'll go back with you." Ask said.
…
After the banquet, the tipsy mages said goodbye to each other and left the palace, while almost all the Spartans and mercenaries fell drunk on the spot and began to sleep soundly.
The girls from the Azure Sword were in between. Sidlifa and Mia were already drunk and wanted to act crazy on the spot, but Nora hit them with a knife and knocked them down. They were supported by Eleanor and Peggy to walk back.
