The Death List Novel - Chapter 665
Chapter 665 A Master Hand’s First Small Display
Qin Lun and the others had discussed Linda and Lenny’s intentions when Lenny insisted on coming to the Northern Lands with the team.
Linda once said that Lenny had been entrusted by her teacher, but after analyzing it, Qin Lun and Hill thought it was just an excuse.
Lenny’s rank was indeed very high, reaching Legendary rank. However, she was a scholarly mage. Legendary strength was achieved through the accumulation of various magical knowledge. She was fundamentally different from a Legendary mage who had advanced in battle.
If Linda was entrusted with protecting her, why would Linda’s teacher look for her? Look at the mage towers around the Candlekeep Islands. There is no shortage of legendary experts in Candlekeep. Do you need to find one of the eight great readers, Lenny?
Moreover, Lenny knew at a glance that she was an otaku. What was an otaku? She was the kind of woman who stayed motionless in her nest for a thousand years. The so-called travel was an undisguised excuse.
Since Lenny didn’t come to Silvermoon City for Linda’s sake, it was worth speculating about her intentions.
After some thought, Qin Lun and his two companions guessed that Candlekeep had a deep relationship with the Silvermoon Alliance, or perhaps Great Sage Lenny had a deep relationship with Elastor Silverhand. Only when a friend was in danger would it be possible for someone like Lenny to let go of the research at hand and rush over to help.
When Qin Lun and the others arrived at Silvermoon City, they felt the rich artistic aura of the city and confirmed their thoughts.
Silvermoon City was the intellectual and cultural center of the Northern Region. The Silvermoon Alliance, centered around Silvermoon City, used to be a large part of the empire of Elves, Dwarves, Sanata, and the human Netheril Magic Empire. Even if it was a pile of rubble, it could still be some sort of archaeological relic from the Ancient Era.
And Candlekeep attaches great importance to the preservation of ruins and ancient books. Will there be no connection between the two organizations?
The people of Silvermoon viewed knowledge, art and music as life. Their ideas were very similar to Candlekeep’s, and the City Lord, Elastor Silverhand, was one of them. It wasn’t strange to say that she shared the same interests and hobbies as Great Sage Lenny. They might even have been good friends a long time ago.
Of course, the relationship between Great Sage Lenny and Elastor Silverhand was a good thing. It was more convenient for Qin Lun and the others to act, and it was easier for them to gain the trust of the Silvermoon City Lord.
However, the question also arose. Why would Great Sage Lenny hide this relationship from Qin Lun and the others? At first, Qin Lun didn’t expect that after Hill’s reminder, he finally understood. His current storyline identity was the distinguished Theopia Elf Prince, not some random Elves mercenary.
In Lenny’s eyes, he obviously had a political purpose in going to the Silvermoon Alliance, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to reveal her relationship with the Silvermoon City Lord to Qin Lun.
From the knight’s expression just now, it could be seen that this Anacelia Yuge already knew his identity. Apart from Elizabeth and Idrea, Qin Lun’s new companion had only told the harpsichord master, Mastasia.
Perhaps Linda and Lenny had already guessed his identity, but they didn’t say anything. Mastasia was a harpist. Her ideal was to maintain the balance of the continent, but it was impossible for her to reveal Qin Lun’s identity to Silvermoon City Lord Elaszo. Although Elaszlo was a member of the Silvermoon Alliance and could not have any accidents, Theopia Elf Prince’s identity was no small matter and could not have any accidents.
Even though Qin Lun had told Conan Londo of the Hand of Light the storyline name after arriving in Silvermoon City, there were quite a few Elves with the same name. The Hand of Light still needed to confirm this information. Even if they confirmed Qin Lun’s identity, they wouldn’t tell Silvermoon City Lord.
Thieves also had their own ways. Although the Hands of Light were thieves, they were very trustworthy. At the very least, before Qin Lun left Silvermoon City, the Hand of Light would not spread his identity around.
Therefore, if Anacelia could confirm Qin Lun’s identity, it would naturally be Linda or Lenny who had leaked it to the Silvermoon City authorities. As soon as Anacelia entered, she bowed to Lenny and swept Qin Lun aside, obviously pretending not to know.
The reason behind this was very simple. Qin Lun’s role as Lenny’s companion to help the Silvermoon Alliance was completely different from Qin Lun’s role as Theopia Elf Prince to help the Silvermoon Alliance.
The former is just personal friendship, the latter is equivalent to the two countries formed an alliance, the political significance is completely different.
If other Apostle could successfully complete the epic plot, they could completely ignore this point. But who is Qin Lun? It’s already good that he doesn’t take advantage of others. Do you still want to take advantage of him?
You pretend you don’t know, right? Alright, then I’ll pretend I don’t know you either. Everyone is heading towards the sky and going their separate ways!
Under normal circumstances, Lenny and Elaszo could ignore Qin Lun at such a critical moment. At most, he would wait until he finished dealing with the matters of the Santa Lin Society before slowly dealing with Qin Lun.
But not now. Qin Lun seemed to have grasped the key clues of the Santa Lin Society. If you ignore him, he can naturally watch the play with his legs crossed. Do you think he has a mission and can’t watch the play? You know, but Great Sage Lenny and the Silvermoon City Lord don’t!
Originally, Qin Lun wasn’t so cautious, but since Lenny wanted to play with a little bit of caution, he was interested instead.
Qin Lun ignored Anacelia’s cries from behind him. Who are you calling? Who’s the prince? If he wanted to act, he had to be professional, and if he wanted to be a passer-by, he had to be thorough, and even refused to admit his identity as
“Anacelia, you go back first! Tell Elaszo that I’ll see her later.” Lenny called Anacelia calmly and signaled for her to return first.
“Yes!” The female knight’s expression was somewhat gloomy as she waved her hand and left the bar with the silver-clothed guard.
As soon as the silver-clothed guard left, Qin Lun and Hill immediately turned around and sat down at the table. They called for the waiter to add another pot of wine.
“Why did you come back? Didn’t you not recognize us?” Linda said angrily.
“I suddenly remembered that we came first.” Qin Lun smiled and nodded at Linda. He looked polite, as if he was explaining to a woman he didn’t know. Even Hill, who was standing beside him, couldn’t help but secretly put up a middle finger and praised him for his thick skin.
“You … Master Lenny, I’m full.” Linda pouted and stood up. She glared fiercely at Qin Lun and was angered.
“Prince Ferrari, you are too stingy!” Lenny pushed her glasses, rolled her eyes, and bluntly criticized.
“Master Lenny, do you think I look like a fool? I came to the Silvermoon Alliance out of goodwill, not to be played around.” Seeing that Lenny was no longer circling around, Qin Lun immediately put away his smile and said indifferently, “I am your companion, but you revealed my identity to the Silvermoon City Lord. Do you know what this is called? This is called betrayal!”
“It’s not that serious, is it? Didn’t you come to help the Silvermoon Alliance?” Lenny’s gaze dodged.
“Who told you that I’m here to help the Silvermoon Alliance!” Qin Lun asked meaningfully.
‘”Yes” Lenny wanted to say it was Linda, but when she came into contact with Qin Lun’s indifferent gaze, she swallowed it back.
No matter how domesticated she was, she knew that there were some things that she could understand, but could not say.
Amongst Qin Lun’s group of people, he, Easten, and Idrea were definitely close friends, and they were life-and-death friends. However, they were only friends with Linda, because they didn’t spend most of their adventures together.
As for Lenny, to put it bluntly, the two of them had nothing to do with each other. Linda could tell Lenny everything she guessed, but Lenny couldn’t tell her in front of Qin Lun.
Ordinary trivial matters didn’t matter. Qin Lun’s storyline identity and what he wanted to do in the Silvermoon Alliance was definitely a secret. Strictly speaking, this was not something a friend would do.
“Alright, Linda and I were wrong. How should we make up for it?” Thinking through this point, Great Sage Lenny spread out her hands very bachelorly, indicating that she admitted defeat.
“Originally, I only came to the Silvermoon Alliance in my personal capacity. I’ll meet her privately after I’ve helped the Silvermoon City Lord and made her owe her a favor.” Seeing Lenny give in, Qin Lun finally stopped grimacing and said with a smile, “However, since you’ve informed the Silvermoon City Lord of my identity in advance, then the nature of the matter is different.”
“Why is it different?” Lenny was a little confused. After all, she was just a scholar who was immersed in research. She was very intelligent, but her political sensitivity wasn’t much.
“After all, I am Theopia Elf Prince of the future Shining Moon Royal Court. Master Lenny, do you really treat me like an ordinary mercenary?” Qin Lun sighed and his temperament changed. He said confidently and reservedly.
‘”If the Silvermoon City Lord already knows my identity, then I won’t be able to interfere in the Silvermoon Alliance’s crisis in my personal capacity. Since you’ve notified the other party, I’ll have to trouble the Great Sage to inform Her Excellency Elaszo that she wants to see me again? Sure! But at the Silvermoon Celebration, I have to formally introduce my identity to all the Alliance Lords.”
“Do you need to be so troublesome!” Great Sage Lenny’s little face was wrinkled into a ball. Now she knew how difficult it was for this silver-haired Elves, who had been smiling all along the way.
On such a formal occasion as the Silvermoon Celebration, introducing a Theopia Elf Prince to the Silvermoon Lord Council, even if the two sides did not form an alliance privately, the other powers on the continent would probably not believe it!
“All you need to do is inform Silvermoon City Lord. As for whether or not to receive this Elf Prince of mine, it will be up to the Lady of Hope to decide!” Qin Lun smiled. He understood what Elaszo would do.
If it was only related to Elaszo himself, the Silvermoon City Lord would probably weigh the pros and cons carefully and would not meet Qin Lun in an instant. However, the problem was that the Silvermoon Alliance was facing a crisis. It was related to the founding of the country and the lives of the other City Lord Lords. Elaszo would definitely compromise in the end.
“How was my performance just now?” Seeing Lenny walk out of the bar with a depressed expression, Qin Lun looked at Shepherd proudly.
“Noble and cold to the extreme, comparable to an Oscar winner!” The old godhead gave his companion a thumbs up with a smile.
At the same time, a series of starry sky notifications sounded out from their Apostle Soul Seals.
