The carriage continued to drive smoothly.
After about fifteen minutes, they stopped at the entrance of the 'White Deer Restaurant' on the Seventh Ring Road.
This is the location Kieran chose.
'Quiet Night Secret Order' chooses time.
It's fair for both sides to choose a little bit, isn't it
"Your Highness, we are here."
The captain of the Royal Guard escorted by the side knocked on the window and said.
Monte jumped down from the driver and opened the door after confirming it was safe.
"Your Highness, be careful."
Compared with the past, the courtiers at this time are more attentive.
After talking with the VI before, although the majesty did not make any promises, he already understood what the majesty meant.
When His Royal Highness in front of him succeeds to the throne, he will become Minister Gu Ming.
Not the only one, just one of them.
But for Monte, it was enough!
This is the identity that he never dared to imagine.
You know, he's just a jester, the well-known kind.
Now, as a jester, he has obtained the title of Minister Gu Ming. This is not only a change of name, but also a change of identity, status and title.
And in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Monte has already played 12 points at this moment.
There is no doubt that Monte can block the gun for Kieran without any hesitation at this moment.
Similarly, Kieran's enemies are his enemies.
Therefore, when seeing Holleika and Wufter representing the 'Secret Order of Silent Night' attending, the ministers looked vigilantly and scrutinized, and the ministers quietly retreated to Qinran after the spies from one side confirmed their safety. behind.
"Lord Colin."
Holleika and Wufter saluted to Kieran.
Holleika looked calm, nothing unusual.
Wolfett is a little unnatural.
As a member of the 'Secret Order of Quiet Night', except for his own members, Wufter seldom salutes to others. Even if he salutes, he is a senior member of the same organization, similar to saluting to other organizations
This is the first time.
It feels very strange and…
Terrible!
Although the congressmen didn't say anything, Wufter was not a fool, and faced with the situation, he naturally had guesses.
The situation is very unfavorable to the 'Quiet Night Secret Order'.
hope everything is fine!
Praying from the bottom of his heart, Wuft cursed again at several of his dead companions.
If it weren't for those three bastards who couldn't tell the difference between the situation and only knew how to please, how could they be so passive
Damn it!
After another curse from the bottom of his heart, Wuft turned around and walked into the 'White Hart Restaurant' side by side with Holleika.
The doors of the restaurant are double wooden doors. The floor is as clean as the signboard. It has obviously been cleaned, just like the chefs here, who have put on new clothes.
However, what people are more concerned about is the food on the table.
A large oval table for twenty people is placed in the center of the restaurant.
Topped with food.
Golden bread, fried potatoes and roasted venison and bear meat are placed together.
Emerald green, bright red fruit set aside.
The wine in palm barrels is on the other side.
As the heir's identity became known to the upper echelons of Fort Eitantino, so did the other party's liking for food.
Qin Ran didn't hide his preference.
At least, he sees no need to cover up.
For one thing, he loves the taste of food, for real.
Second, he needs a point that is easier to focus on.
Instead of being pondered and laid out after being paid attention to in other aspects, it is better to actively reveal it. At least, he has a natural advantage when it comes to food.
Of course, he wouldn't take the initiative to reveal it.
He walked into the restaurant silently. The old demon hunter who had been waiting for a long time stepped into the queue behind Kieran. Monte glanced at the old demon hunter without making a sound.
The special status of His Royal Highness will definitely lead to some special characters.
With the old witcher, it is more reliable than the royal guard in terms of security.
Monte already knew this.
However, he did not take it lightly. One step ahead, Monte stepped forward and began to check the food. Members of the royal guard even firmly guarded the entrances of the restaurant.
Although it had been checked before, Monte didn't dare to be careless at this time.
There are too many examples of that kind of temporary poisoning.
Monte didn't want his Highness to suffer misfortune.
After a full five minutes, the minister turned around and signaled to Qin Ran that there was no problem.
When the close minister signaled, Holleika and Wuft placed the crystals one by one on the side of the table.
next moment-
hum!
With the vibration of the air.
The phantoms of Gelsak and the fourteen members of the South began to appear in Kieran's field of vision.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness Colin."
As soon as he appeared, a southern congressman with a kind voice spoke first.
But Gelsak, who was in charge of Eitandinoburg, remained silent.
"Member Aitfen?"
Qin Ran confirmed the other party's identity.
"The royal family's intelligence officers are more capable than you think."
"Of course… "
"It could also be Snake Pie."
The other party's laughter came from under the hood.
Facing such laughter, Monte frowned slightly.
The close ministers keenly discovered that the Aitfen councilor was trying to test the Snake faction and the Aitantine royal family, or, to put it simply, he was trying to sow discord.
Once the royal family and the snake faction have any dirty words, it will definitely add fuel to the fire.
if there is not
That's okay too.
It is also possible to add up a little to make a lot, and quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
The ministers can guarantee that this is what Aitfen in front of him intends.
The other party said it was a negotiation, but at this time they had bad intentions...
Jinchen began to think.
Almost subconsciously, he looked at the silent Gelsak.
As the person in charge of Eitantinople, the silence of the other party is really strange.
Could it be...
The minister immediately thought of something.
Immediately, Jinchen's eyes lit up.
The minister calmly gave Qin Ran a wink, and walked out slowly after the latter nodded.
"I have met Lord Aitfen."
As the representative of the heir of the kingdom, Monte was not rude. He saluted first, and then said slowly: "His Royal Highness is the heir of the kingdom and also the heir of the Snake Sect. What does it matter where the information comes from?" ?”
Obviously, the 'Secret Order of Quiet Night' has no news of 'Colin is the heir to the Snake Sect'.
Therefore, after Monte spoke, all the southern congressmen present were taken aback.
Gelsack, however, was unmoved.
Such a stark contrast made the near minister more confident.
Gelsack and Southern lawmakers are not of one mind.
That's easy!
A piece of iron, difficult to break through.
But with a gap
Hey hey.
There was a smirk in Jinchen's heart.
That's what he's good at.
"Why, don't Lord Aitfen know?"
"I thought Lord Gelsack would tell you."
Jinchen said exaggeratedly.
Aitfin glanced at Gelsak.
Even the cover of the hood can make people feel the coldness in this gaze.
Aitfen knew that this would allow the close ministers in front of him to know more about the real inside story of the 'Secret Order of Quiet Night'.
However, he was annoyed by Gelsak's concealment.
He actually withheld such important news.
The same goes for the remaining thirteen southern congressmen, all of whom glared at Gelsack.
As the heir of the kingdom, Colin is a member of the Snake faction and the heir of the Snake faction are two completely different concepts.
The former can only be said to be a relatively close cooperation.
And the latter
It is possible to regard the two as one!
From this, it can be inferred that there are other members of the Snake Sect in the Aitandine royal family
Could there be members of the Snake faction hidden in the army
And the spies, the waiters, the ladies-in-waiting!
even…
Was the Snake faction born from the Aitantine royal family
Or, the Aitantine royal family was born from the Snake faction
Otherwise, why was the Snake Sect silent before, without any record of its existence
There must be a larger organization to cover it up.
Leaving aside the ignorant 'Wolf Faction', what could be more appropriate than the royal family of Eitandine
Thinking about the unreasonable behavior of the Aitandine royal family at certain moments...
In an instant, the faces of all the people present changed, and the gazes they looked at Qin Ran became even more inexplicably strange.
Obviously, the Snake Sect and the Aitandine royal family reached a consensus and announced a common heir.
And when this heir takes power, the situation in the entire Northland and South will change.
Such an heir cannot be allowed to appear!
Instinctively, the fourteen congressmen from the south thought at the same time.
However, the next moment, they thought of their current situation.
That inexplicable existence!
That demigod or god hiding in the dark!
And the 'fog' standing in the light!
Damn it!
When did the situation in Atendino become so complicated
Regarding the existence hidden in the dark, the southern congressmen have no doubts.
It is naturally that kind of existence that can make a believer with a firm belief change his belief.
As for the other party's previous reputation
Check out 'The Mist'!
Before the battle broke out in Sikaland, who knew the name of 'Mist'
Obviously, that existence was like a 'mist', quietly developing its power, waiting for the day when it would become a blockbuster.
Can…
They sabotaged such a plan.
Aitfen could almost imagine the anger of that being.
Can't kill each other!
Not yet!
The inexplicable existence of the other party is the top priority!
"The death of Collipo and the disappearance of Ludus made Gelsak too tired. It is normal to forget some things."
Aitfen said and looked at Gelsak again.
That look couldn't be more clear.
cooperate with him.
Or tear your face apart.
Aitfen is not worried about this.
If Gelsak wanted to tear his face apart, he wouldn't wait until now.
Sure enough, the next moment, Gelsak nodded.
"Um."
Numbly, without any more expressions, Gelsak nodded.
Although everyone present can see how false this is.
But everyone did not expose.
They chose to ignore it by default.
Including, the close minister who spoke on behalf of Qin Ran.
Now is not the time to pursue and fight hard.
What is needed now is compensation!
The close minister who had already received the signal from Qin Ran coughed lightly and spoke again.
"Your Excellency Aitfen, it is inconvenient for us to ask about your housework."
"However, the unprovoked intrusion of your men, I think we need to talk about it."
Jinchen said.
"certainly."
"That's what we're here for."
"After all, now is not the time for 'infighting'."
After Aitfen finished speaking, there was no room for his neighbors to intervene, and he looked at Qin Ran directly and said, "Two hundred and eighty pieces of real magic props and equipment, we will use them in exchange for yours as the Snake Sect and the heir to the Aitandine royal family. forgive."
Two hundred and eighty pieces of magic props and equipment? !
Hearing Aitfen's words, Monte, who was just about to speak, froze there.
Be a jester.
Monte was quite rich.
It is not as good as those inherited families, but it is dozens of times richer than ordinary knights and the like.
But even so, with his worth, he can only buy 3-5 magic items.
Therefore, it was natural that Monte was stunned.
Also stunned...
Old witcher!
Edson is not someone who has seen the world, but that is 280 pieces of magic props and equipment!
And it's real, not the so-called trick class!
If he uses it properly, he doesn't need all the compensation, but only a small part of it. After one or two years of training, he will be able to make the 'Wolf faction' reappear.
The old demon hunter, who was still somewhat resistant to this meeting, instantly lost his resistance, and began to think about how to ask the heir of the Snake Sect for these compensations.
His throwing knife skills are well taught.
What else can he use as a bargaining chip
Even the old witcher who inherited the character of the iron cock frowned tightly.
"Can."
Qin Ran spoke.
He agreed with one bite.
No haggling.
This made Monte, who had just come back to his senses, anxious to death.
Since the other party has reported such a bargaining chip, there must be more, and with simple skills, they will definitely be able to get more!
Damn it!
Damn me!
To make His Highness suffer such a loss!
As the future Minister of Gu Ming, the close minister who took the role wished to slap himself twice.
But it's too late to say anything now.
hateful!
A group of upright, simple, and honest bastards who bully His Highness!
The near minister stared fiercely at the Southern Congressman, and dragged the fourteen people into his own blacklist.
Aitfen and other fourteen councilors felt such gazes.
However, he didn't care.
What they cared more about was Kieran's directness.
They would not believe that Qin Ran simply agreed because he was young.
It is even more impossible to believe that Qin Ran was temporarily dazzled by the huge compensation.
As for Qin Ran knowing their bottom line from the beginning
Even more impossible.
Unless they have a traitor among them.
Although there was an intriguing battle between them, it was an internal struggle of the 'Secret Order of Quiet Night', and even Gersak would not introduce outsiders.
Therefore, there is only one possibility left!
It wasn't just that they noticed the inexplicable existence.
'Snake School' also noticed.
Thinking of this, the southern congressmen looked at each other.
Then, they looked at Qin Ran at the same time.
"Compensation is complete."
"We don't think we can have a more in-depth cooperation."
"Your Highness Colin, what do you think?"
Aitfin asked tentatively.
"Can."
Qin Ran waved his hand while talking.
Immediately, everyone except the old demon hunter and his close ministers walked out.
Aitfen also signaled Holleika, Wuft and others to leave.
Soon, there were only Qin Ran, the old witcher, the courtiers and fifteen phantoms left in the entire 'White Deer Restaurant'.
After pondering for a while, Qin Ran opened his mouth and said.
"You also found him?"
