Chapter 996 227. I am Rose, the Spider Queen
In the inner city of the new royal capital, the Court of Purification.
The magic lamp exudes a hazy halo, and a depressing atmosphere envelopes the hall.
The judge stared at the silent subordinates and said in a rough voice colder than the snow-capped mountains: "So, you want me to believe that you let a group of carefully trained undercover agents be betrayed by someone who misremembered the password. The sentries were killed one by one? "
The key is that their plan was exposed, and they came out of the dark. The group of Free Blades hiding in the city guards must have known that they had been discovered.
The subordinates answered bravely: "Your Majesty Judge, in order to infiltrate the city guard, we arranged for non-professionals. Unexpectedly, an accident happened... We later investigated and found that the sentry on the watchtower at that time was the nephew of the Minister of Military Affairs. "
The inquisitor, who didn't want to listen to his subordinates' excuses, gradually calmed down after hearing this: "Reynado's nephew? Why didn't I know that he had a nephew and let his nephew serve as a sentry in the city guard? . ”
Or did Renaldo know about the actions of the Purification Court and warned them in this way?
The kingdom’s military ministers all sided with the Freedom Blade...?
The judge was startled by his guess.
If even such a big shot was won over, wouldn't the entire kingdom be corrupted? ?
"No one should tell anyone about what happened today, just stand down."
The subordinates breathed a sigh of relief, no one would publicize their failure. It's great that those of them who survived were neither killed by the sentries nor punished.
They left, leaving the Inquisitor to wonder: is it too late to join the Free Blades...
...
"Madam, your voice is very nice."
"Really? Then do you want to listen to me calling you all night long?" The noble and plump lady had charming eyes.
"Uh...my uncle asked me to go back early." Annan pretended not to understand the lady's hint.
“It doesn’t matter, just give me a few dozen minutes.”
“My uncle is calling me!”
Annan made an excuse to leave, bypassing the enthusiastic lady's "My skirt seems to have untied, can you help me?", and ran back to Renaldo who was talking to his friends.
"The food from the south will also become...sorry." Renaldo apologized to his friends first, and then asked with kindness towards the younger generation: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay. I’m just a little tired,” said Annan, who plays the military minister’s nephew.
Reynardo felt a little offended when Annan proposed this, but he didn't care. This made Renaldo grateful and at the same time not only breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he really would not be liquidated after the war.
"Is this your nephew? I have a daughter who is about the same age as her..."
"He is already engaged." The military minister, who knew what Sir Smarover was going to say, said in advance.
Sir Smarover showed regret and picked up the wine glass beside him: "Let's talk later."
"See you later."
Sir Smarover walked away. , Annan looked at his back: "Is he one of ours?"
"It's difficult. He is in the grain business and makes a lot of money because of your blockade."
"Understood, vested interests?"
The Minister of Military Affairs chewed the word, He nodded: "His business relies on the existence of the kingdom. Unless it's at the last moment, I'm afraid he won't be on our side."
He changed the topic and asked Annan how the banquet went. .
“It’s boring.”
The banquet invited not only the nobles who joined the Blade of Freedom, but also acquaintances that Renaldo planned to win over, but did not win over, and were not worthy of winning over. This made Annan, who is "Reynardo's nephew", unable to promote Liberty City and advertise. Magic images cannot be promoted.
Due to the vigilance of the Minister of Military Affairs, the people who knew Annan's true identity were limited to those who were loyal to the Blade of Freedom.
"The nobles cannot be trusted. They can betray us at any time just like they betrayed the kingdom. It is best not to let them know your existence."
"Sir, can I invite you to dance? "A female voice sounded from the side.
"No...of course." Annan changed his words after hearing Maria's voice. He smiled with the Minister of Military Affairs, held Maria's hand, and walked in facing the jealous eyes. dance floor. It was as if the hero and heroine in the story had appeared, and the musician next to him changed to soothing music that seemed to be a variation of "The Fall of the Mage Tower".
"At that time, I had been fantasizing about this scene..."
Due to the height difference, Maria could only lower her head and whisper into Annan's ear.
“I thought we were enemies at that time.” Annan said with a smile.
“Indeed, but that’s why it’s so impressive, isn’t it?”
"Yeah..."
How can a strange princess in a foreign country be more attractive than a witch who is also an enemy and a friend?
Of course, it would be better if the witch had some dragon blood or other alien blood...
Maria is a rat, and she is destined not to be dominated by emotions for too long. After dancing a song, she lowered her head and whispered the purpose of inviting her to dance.
“I met a tribesman on the way here. It seemed to have misunderstood my purpose and warned me not to interfere in the palace.”
"It seems that the Steen clan is really related to that king?"
"Even if not, they will have taken action recently."
"I know... what are they using? The way you sneaked in is the same as before?"
"Well, we will be assigned different identities as guards, madams, scouts..."
"You were madam before?"< br>
"Well, I am the madam, and Dela is the guard."
Dela...
This name touched Annan's heart.
A month after Della lost contact, they discovered that the succubus had taken her away. The only known news so far is that succubi do not kill so indiscriminately, and have the habit of transforming captured women into succubi.
Looking on the bright side, maybe they will meet again, and Della might also be a succubus by then...
It's a bit emotional to think about this. Della, who is half-elf, transformed into a half-elf as a rat-man, and then from a half-elf to a dark elf. She might even become a succubus in the future.
At this time, a figure hurriedly broke into the dance floor and separated Annan and Maria in the happy eyes of the ladies.
"Sir, City Guards..."
He leaned into Annan's ear and whispered something, which shocked Annan and made him pale from morning to night.
"What's wrong?" Maria asked.
"Follow me."
With no time to explain, Annan led Maria to say a few words to the Minister of Military Affairs, and then followed the messenger into the room outside the banquet.
"Tell me the details." Annan said.
The messenger recounted what happened to the city guard not long ago.
Annan's eyes changed from worried to nervous to weird.
"It's not that I don't believe you, but Martin... shoots arrows, kills people, or a dozen?"
"Yeah!"
"I am Rose, the Spider Queen, trust me and treat me When you return from the bottomless abyss, I will turn you into a dark elf and become a priestess."
"Stop joking..."
"You started it first."
