The Death List Novel - Chapter 668
Chapter 668 Something Happened
“Qin Lun, look!” Rand suddenly frowned and turned to the west. His bloodline was extremely sensitive to the concentration of fire elements.
Because of the celebration, there were no clouds in the night, and the stars were embedded in the night like diamonds. However, under this beautiful scene, a thick cloud of smoke rose into the sky to the west of Supreme palace. Accompanied by the thick smoke was a fiery light that shone red across the horizon, as well as faint cries and cries.
This was clearly not a bonfire banquet held by the people of Silvermoon City in the plazas, but a fire!
“Why is it that the banquet in the palace hasn’t started yet? Isn’t this a good time?” Qin Lun and Hill exchanged a surprised glance. When they contacted what was going to happen tonight, it was very likely that the fire was caused by Santalin.
“No, this is the perfect time.” Rand curled his lips and whispered, “Fighting fires isn’t just about extinguishing fires. It’s about taking care of the injured, cleaning up the scene, setting up isolation zones, and avoiding the recurrence of hidden fire sources. It’s very time consuming.”
If there weren’t enough men, Santalin would probably continue to play tricks until Supreme palace sent out enough silver guards to maintain order. “For these guards, they probably won’t come back this evening.”
“Divert the tiger away from the mountain?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows slightly. The more cliche his moves were, the more effective they would sometimes be.
In fact, after Qin Lun informed the Silvermoon City Lord of Angelo’s clues, he guessed that her thoughts were different from his own.
Perhaps Elaszo didn’t care if he could keep all the assassins of the Santalin Society. If he couldn’t destroy these people, it wouldn’t have a great impact on the overall strength of the two sides. On the contrary, she cared about the safety of the members of the Lord Council during the celebration. It would be great if she could completely reject the assassins of the Santalin Society.
Therefore, Angelo’s appearance should have been sent to the guards in the palace. As soon as the camouflager appeared, he would be secretly captured and tortured to extort a confession, catching all the rats hidden in Silvermoon City’s shadows.
However, along with this fire, the silver guards of the palace would have to leave a portion of it, and the defensive loopholes would arise. Thinking of it this way, Santalin had indeed invested a lot of energy into this plan. If Qin Lun hadn’t seen through some of the conspiracies by mistake, he would have had a high chance of succeeding.
“Prince Ferrari, Lord Elaszo invites you to the banquet hall!” Just as Qin Lun and the others were looking at the fire from afar, Anacelia, the female knight of Elves, who had seen him before, climbed up the bell tower and said respectfully behind him.
“Yuge? Are you a collateral branch of the Elves Royal Family?” Seeing the female knight of Elves again, Qin Lun suddenly remembered something. He remembered that Milleras had told him some things about Komansori Elves in the past. Yu Ge’s surname was an extremely ancient family in Ri Elves.
“Golden Elves, not Ri Elves!” Anacelia was slightly stunned, and then she revealed a trace of pride as she refuted Qin Lun’s words.
“Golden Elves?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he shrugged his shoulders indifferently and followed her down the bell tower.
The Ri Fairy Court that existed in Comanso was indeed not called Ri Elves in ancient times. Instead, it referred to itself as the Golden Elves or the High Elves Imperial Clan.
In fact, the higher Elves that escaped from Ferrier Elves to Toril in the main physical world included Golden Elves, Moon Elves, Green Elves, and Dark Elves. These four Elves branches together formed the so-called High Elves, and the one with the highest status was Golden Elves, the original king’s vein.
Unfortunately, in a different environment, apart from Jin Elves himself, the other three branches of Elves were tired of the war and the rule of Jin Elves, choosing to build their own settlements. This resulted in the formation of more than a dozen Fairy Court, including Irivanda, Ilfaran, Ilisri, Keldomo, Myerita, Theopia, Olyssal, Seintal, Eirut and Santa Osrell.
Because of political and trade friction, The strongest Golden Elves finally chose to start the Crown War, causing most of Fairy Court to be destroyed in the five Crown Wars. However, Golden Elves himself was no better. In the end, the alliance forces of Moon Elves and Green Elves destroyed the empire, even cutting off its inheritance. The remaining Golden Elves moved to the Commanso Forest.
As for the other branch of the Elves Race, Dark Elves, because of the fall during the war, it became Zhuo Er Elves, forever hiding in a dark region.
The Golden Elves of the Commanso Forest lost its inheritance and gradually mixed with other branches of Elves in the years that followed, forming what is now the Ri Elves. Traditionally, however, the Ri Elves still viewed itself as the heir to the Golden Elves, the royal family of all of Fallen Elves.
Of course, there were still a few Golden Elves who maintained their tradition and were unwilling to mix with other branches of the Elves. However, they refused to admit that they were Sun Elves and continued to address themselves as Golden Elves.
They were naturally rejected by the Komanso Elves, and it was probably because of this that they had fled to the Silvermoon Alliance’s territory and lived with other races from then on. Although these elves thought highly of themselves, in reality, their numbers were too small, and they were not valued by the other elven branches at all.
Even though he was as proud as a peacock, he was still just another person’s guard captain!
Qin Lun looked at the female knight in front of him, and a light flashed in his eyes. Even though Elaszo had the status of the elect of gods, the magic goddess Misra was not a god of the Elves divine lineage. This was only a slightly better-looking shameful cloth.
“Prince Ferrari, Lord Elaszo told me that I must follow you every step of the way tonight!” Anacelia seemed to sense the sight behind her and said indifferently, “Please don’t do anything that embarrasses me.”
“Of course, I’ll trouble you!” Qin Lun smiled faintly and said nonchalantly.
Anacelia noticed the carelessness in Qin Lun’s words. She paused and took a deep breath. The female knight of Elves felt even more disgusted with the silver-haired Elves who had embarrassed her before. This person reminded her of a very disgusting fellow in the Commanso Forest.
…
Following Anacelia, a group of people walked through several arcades to the bustling greeting hall. The largest reception hall in the palace was now even more magnificent, becoming the main banquet hall for tonight.
Qin Lun scanned the hall in a hurry and found that he didn’t know anyone. There were all sorts of guests everywhere, ranging from the elegantly dressed Elves to the Northern Barbarians in an apron made of animal hide. There were tall and large halflings, as well as dwarves who were only at the waist of the crowd, with large beards, and loud voices.
A small stage was built in front of the hall, and the Silver Moon Alliance’s enormous Star-Moon flag was hung on the wall behind it. This is both the host’s toast platform and the venue for bands and dancers.
Above the hall, there was a ceiling made of tree vines. Countless thin vines hung down, like an exquisite spider web of vines, as well as a pearl curtain hung with countless emerald willow branches.
There were many fresh and delicious fruits growing on the vines. Qin Lun observed them carefully for a while and discovered that there were many kinds of fruits on the vines. There were at least dozens of kinds of fruits, many of which he did not recognize.
Around the hall were more than a dozen long tables, filled with all sorts of precious feasts and meat. In the corner were large barrels of oak barrels filled with ale, which could be accessed by pulling open the top cork.
However, these barrels were prepared for the dwarves and barbarians, and other Elves and humans generally used the ready-made drinks on the waiter’s tray. The Silvermoon City Lord had spent a lot of energy on this celebration.
“Ferrar!” A cheerful greeting came from the crowd. Qin Lun turned around and saw Elistine running towards him with the corner of his skirt in hand, followed by Idrea, Mastasia, Lenny and Linda.
Elistine was dressed in an exquisite white dress with a low-cut waist and silver hair hanging behind her head like a waterfall. She wore a carefully woven corolla on her head. Although his chest was not as majestic as Mustacha’s, it was round and straight, revealing a moving arc. A jewel necklace was worn on the snow neck like a swan. It was like a fairy who had just walked out of the Immortal Realm. Qin Lun’s eyes couldn’t help but shine.
The four beauties behind her were also in their prime. Masta’s full breasts were bulging under the knight’s gown, as if she could jump out at any time. Her muscular figure and long legs made her look like a beehive with plump waist and buttocks, enchanting and charming.
Idrea was dressed the same as her. Although her chest was still as flat as a mirror, her resolute face had a different kind of valiant and heroic bearing. The other two Candlekeep beauties, Linda’s temperament was cute and cute. Lenny was mature and steady, carrying a trace of scholarly aura.
“Hmm? Looks like our City Lord is taking good care of you.” Qin Lun looked at the four dressed ladies and revealed a sincere smile.
…
“Honorable Council Lords, welcome to Silvermoon City to celebrate the harvest with us!” Just as Qin Lun and the others were chatting, Elder Alasdorf walked up to the platform and raised his glass to everyone.
After a warm toast from Silvermoon City Lord, she suddenly changed the topic, “… In addition, Silvermoon City has also welcomed an honored guest, Elf Prince Filar Moonlight from Anke Fairy Court! He traveled thousands of miles from Anke Fairy Court to send a sincere friendship to the Silvermoon Alliance and let us toast him!”
Under everyone’s astonished gazes, Elaszo pointed at Qin Lun in the crowd and raised his glass towards him. Qin Lun bowed slightly with a reserved smile and cooperated with Silvermoon City Master to finish the play.
After drinking all the wine, many whispers rang out in the hall. Obviously, the Silvermoon Alliance’s Lords had many associations with this scene just now. The envoys from some countries around the Silvermoon Alliance were all surprised. They had not received any information about this before.
“Ferrari, Elistine, Idrea!” The crowd in front of Qin Lun suddenly dispersed. A young dwarf squeezed out of the crowd and looked at Qin Lun and the others in surprise.
“Lorraine? Why are you here?” Qin Lun looked at his former companion and raised his eyebrows.
‘”This …” Lorraine smiled bashfully and muttered, “Emily invited me. I haven’t returned to the Snow Peak Mountain Range yet. I’ve been in a Shield Dwarf camp at the southern foot of the World Ridge for the past few months.”
“Nice to see you, Lorraine!” Elistine hugged Dwarves happily. The others, including Qin Lun, also looked very happy.
Qin Lun’s joy wasn’t faked right now. Since Lorraine was here, the epic plot of the Silver Hall had an entrance.
“Lorraine, are you Shield Dwarf’s messenger?” Qin Lun asked with a smile.
“No, the messenger is a nephew of King Bruno of Dwarves. I’m just here to see Emily!” Young Dwarves scratched his head embarrassedly.
Qin Lun quickly understood that Bruno Warhammer wanted to take back the Mithril Hall. However, the Mithril Hall was located at the southern foot of the World Ridge and was very close to Silvermoon City. Without the consent of the Silvermoon City Mistress, it would be very difficult to do so.
Since Elaszo did not introduce the envoy of Dwarves at the celebration banquet, what if the pact between the two sides had not been reached? If not, Shield Dwarf and the Silvermoon Alliance had been flirting for a long time, and everyone was already very familiar with each other, so there was no need to introduce them further.
Lorraine suddenly asked in a somewhat embarrassed voice, “Ferrari, the matter with Mage Angelo …”
“You already know?” Qin Lun frowned slightly and looked at Dwarves doubtfully.
“Yes, the Silvermoon City Lord discussed this matter with King Dwarves’s messenger.” Lorraine said in a low voice.
Elrasto asked the envoy of Dwarves for help? This news caused Qin Lun to be extremely surprised. However, after thinking for a while, he was not only convinced by the courage of the Silvermoon City Lord.
Hopefully, the ladies did not set up the security as they thought, not only did they not go on full alert, they did not even notify the silver guards of the defensive palace. Judging from her appeal to Shield Dwarf, most of the people here were probably hidden in the drums. She intended to let the assassins from the Santalin Society in and catch a turtle in a jar.
“Isn’t Silvermoon City Lord afraid of causing heavy casualties in Supreme palace?” Rand, who was beside Qin Lun, was also shocked when he heard this news.
“Haha, that hopeful lady is really ruthless!” Hill should have figured it out. “She’s not afraid of a few people dying,” he explained on the guild channel. “Even if Santalin succeeds in assassinating a few City Lord Lords who oppose her, as long as the perpetrators are caught and their identities are exposed, then Santalin’s plot will only backfire.”
‘”That’s right. The Silvermoon Alliance has been living too comfortably under Elaszo’s leadership these past few years. If the plot of the Santalin Society is exposed now, it will remind everyone that there is a powerful foreign enemy in the Silvermoon Alliance.” Qin Lun sighed. “External pressure will make the Silvermoon Alliance more united. All voices against Elaszo will be dispersed by the fear created by Santalin …”
“Ah ~ ~ ~” Just as everyone reacted, a waitress screamed in horror in the banquet hall.
The crowd seemed to have been struck by a whip, and suddenly dispersed, revealing a muscular bust who was lying on the ground twitching and spitting white foam. The upper half of the half-man was a human, and the lower half was a snow-white horse. He wore an exquisite one-piece robe.
The halfling man didn’t seem to have lost his breath. He continuously kicked his four hooves, his face twisted into a ball, and a trace of grey appeared in the depths of his emerald green pupils. It was as if his entire soul had been abruptly pulled away and he had completely lost consciousness.
“It’s Quilva’s Lord!” Lorraine whispered.
However, at this moment, Qin Lun completely ignored him. His gaze was like lightning as he observed the panicked crowd. A blue-green pattern of Yin-Yang fish appeared in his left eye. Everything in front of him had turned into a sketch with black and white lines interweaving.
“I found it!” Qin Lun’s eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at a hood mage on the left side of the hall who was about to leave.
