Chapter 249: Assassination
Chapter 249: Assassination
Klein and Leonard were already dazzled by the various gorgeous facilities in the Duke's Mansion.
"Ah, it is indeed Backlund's most dazzling gem..."
A faint exclamation drew everyone's attention to the door.
With his excellent hearing, Klein got the name of the visitor from many discussions, Audrey Hall!
Audrey Hall, who was wearing an off-white palace dress, walked into the banquet holding Earl Hall's hand, and directly took away the glory of the banquet.
She was like a truly dazzling and noble gem, bringing together all the brilliance of the banquet scene.
Klein also recognized this young lady immediately.
Miss "Justice"? Klein had seen her above the gray fog, and even had a close encounter with her in the illusion world, and now he recognized her at a glance.
"No, she is the 'audience', I have to keep my facial expression..." Klein glanced at Audrey with a smile, then politely looked away.
This is the most reasonable response.
It's just that after Earl Hall chatted with Duke Negan for a while, he walked here directly with his daughter.
"Miss Justice's family believes in the goddess, and Bishop Truman is now the new archbishop of Backlund Diocese..."
Due to circumstances, Earl Hall needs to come over for a visit.
As Klein's mind raced, Earl Hall and Miss Audrey had already arrived in front of him to salute.
"May the goddess protect you." Truman only needed this sentence to surpass all aristocratic etiquette.
And sometimes, what he said really had the effect of divine blessing.
Earl Hall thanked him with a serious face, "Thank you to the archbishop for your blessing. This sentence is better than all the praise in the world."
"Praise the goddess!" Truman drew a full moon on his chest.
The rest of the people could only follow and praise the goddess.
This is the archbishop who holds divine power. Whether he is a noble or a rich man, he needs to be treated seriously.
"Bishop Truman... I only saw him promoting dreams in Tingen, and never heard him praising the goddess..." Klein could only follow the gesture.
"Your Excellency, my overseas investment has made some gains recently, and I plan to donate 30,000 pounds to the church..."
Earl Hall's words shocked Klein, secretly thinking that this is how Bishop Truman's money came from?
I don't know if it's Klein's illusion, but I always feel that the smile on the corner of Bishop Truman's mouth is a little sincere...
Truman and Earl Hall went aside to discuss more important matters, while Audrey Hall set her sights on Klein and Leonard.
"That archbishop must be a high-sequence Beyonder. I can't see anything..."
Audrey was a little discouraged, and then turned her attention to the two young people behind the Bishop.
"Hello, Miss Hall, you are the brightest and dazzling jewel at this banquet." These are the compliments Klein received from other nobles.
Is this gem diamond? Klein was joking inwardly, but outwardly he still greeted him with perfect etiquette.
Leonard also sent greetings slowly.
"Hello, gentlemen." Audrey Hall observed the two strange gentlemen in front of her.
She had never seen them at any other noble banquet before.
"A person from the church? An extraordinary person?"
"This expression is very natural and a bit fake, and it definitely does not express true emotions..."
"The other one makes no secret of his resistance to the noble banquet... He seems to look down on most nobles? He must be an extraordinary person, and he is higher than me."
After exchanging a few words, Audrey Hall walked towards the "restaurant", but her mind was still analyzing Klein's weirdness.
"Is there any sequence where you can hide your expressions and body movements? This is really the nemesis of the 'audience'!"
"Next time Tarot will consult with Mr. 'The Hanged Man' and the others!"
Klein watched Miss Audrey walk away and silently said, "Be careful of the audience." This "just" lady probably couldn't get any information from him, but...
Klein glanced at the poet classmate next to him. Your emotions are too obvious.
"Is there any problem?" Leonard asked confused.
"No." Klein shook his head.
Does he want to say that the person just now is the "audience"? This only made Leonard nervous.
"How about going to the restaurant and trying those luxurious foods."
This suggestion hit Klein's heart perfectly, and the two of them happily went.
After having a luxurious dinner, the two of them couldn't bear the kind of pleasantries between nobles, so they walked outside to the garden.
"Can we go?" Klein and Leonard wanted to leave after eating.
"Wait a minute..." Klein felt a little ashamed, after all, he just had a meal.
Um...
Klein's hair stood on end in a daze, as if a gaze fell on him, with strong and undisguised malice!
He suddenly looked up at the balcony on the second floor of the banquet.
"What's wrong?!" Leonard was also instantly alert. He had been teaming with Klein for a long time and knew enough about Klein's spiritual perception.
"Someone gave me a malicious look." Klein didn't see the suspicious person on the balcony, so he could only recall that feeling and make a judgment.
"No...it wasn't malice directed at me," Klein frowned, "It was more like instinctive malice, but it fell on me at that moment."
Instinctive malice... this kind of thing is very unusual.
"A banquet like this..." Leonard began to think, "There shouldn't be such malice."
The people who can participate in this banquet have been strictly vetted, and there should not be people with such strong malice.
"Maybe there is something wrong?" Klein and Leonard relied on the experience of a night watcher to judge.
"But there's nothing we can do to intervene?"
"Where is Bishop Truman?"
When Klein and Leonard became suspicious, the person with real malicious intent had already walked out of the ball hall and walked towards Duke Negan.
I like this kind of prey the best... This is a very well-dressed gentleman and a member of the nobility.
But whether the skin is real is open to question.
Duke Negan was chasing the dance steps of many noble ladies and noble ladies in the ballroom. He enjoyed this feeling very much, and the ups and downs of desire reminded him of those turbulent years.
But in the eyes of some people, this floating desire is the best weapon.
Bang!
The crystal lantern hanging high in the center of the stage suddenly fell to the ground, and various screams rang out on the stage. Many nobles were injured by the flying debris and subconsciously avoided it. The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
At this moment, the killer rushed out and charged towards Duke Negan!
"die!"
This killer detonated the desire in Duke Negan's heart.
