Chapter 199: A Different Night
For Patilina, eliminating an enemy is not a big deal. She reached out and grabbed the assassin's neck, and then smashed him against the stone wall, and then David's head suddenly shattered like a broken ball at the same time as it came into close contact with the stone wall, and for a moment the brain and blood mixed with the fragments of bones and brain tissue flew around, bringing a foul smell. The next moment, he simply and neatly sentenced the enemy in front of him to death.
"Ahh―――――h
Although the little guy didn't pay attention to this at all, Roddy's reaction was to startle her, and after seeing the assassin's tragic death, the noble young master suddenly let out a scream that pierced the eardrums, but the frightened and unprepared Patilina's hands trembled, and she threw the tattered corpse to the ground.
"What the hell is your name!!"
Patilina spun around angrily and glared at Roddy, who was sitting on the ground not far away. At this time, Roddy's face was pale, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, he stared at Patilina with wide eyes in horror, and said tremblingly.
"You, you actually killed him?!"
"If I don't kill him, he'll kill you! Idiot! ”
In response to Roddy's inquiry, Patilina snorted disdainfully, and then she narrowed her eyes and looked at Deli next to her.
"Hey, Deli, what did I say about this sissy? It's just killing someone, and those who don't know think it's his father who died! Such an idiot would have been sent to the ceremony? Is it really okay? I don't want to be dragged down by such an idiot. ”
"Uh............"
Hearing Patilina's merciless mockery, Deli also smiled wryly. But to be honest, with Roddy's character. It was not suitable to participate in such a ceremony in the first place. Since he was a child, he didn't like disputes, let alone killing. Even if the nobles went out to hunt and kill a rabbit, he didn't dare to look at it, a man was so timid. It is no wonder that no matter how much Archduke Dalt repeatedly ordered the strict prohibition, the rumors on the streets and alleys that Roddy was a woman disguised as a man never subsided. To be honest, sometimes Dai Li thinks that it would be better if Roddy really dressed as a woman, after all, these problems of "her" are more or less common to noble ladies. And if Roddy is a man and looks like this, she will have to consider whether she should pretend not to know him in the future.
"You............ You............ You ..............."
In the face of Patilina's mockery, Roddy was also angry, his face was blue and white, he stretched out his hand to point at Patilina, trembling for a long time but unable to say anything. And see his wretched appearance. Patilina snorted coldly, glancing at him with a cold, murderous gaze.
"What are you, don't shut up for me, or I'll kill you now!"
"Babble!!"
Hearing Patilina's threat, Roddy's face changed dramatically, and then he hurriedly lowered his head, and sat obediently next to him, not daring to move. It looks like a loser dog with his tail between his legs............
Seeing this scene, Deli began to doubt for the first time. Would it be quite a wrong choice to agree to Roddy's invitation?
"It's rubbish."
Seeing that Roddy didn't dare to speak anymore, Pattilina didn't bother to pay attention to him. As for the work of cleaning up the battlefield, it is natural that those guards and maiden knights will complete it at this moment. So Patilina didn't say anything more. Just motioned for the others to do their own thing and then strengthen their vigilance, and then returned to the stalactite pillar where he had leaned against and closed his eyes.
Now that those rats are finished, then next. It's time to report back to the master.
"Well done, Patilina."
Hear Patilina's report coming from the psychic connection. The corners of Jenn's mouth curled slightly, revealing a smug smile. It was not unexpectedly that the other party would take advantage of the darkness of the night to attack. The reason why Patilina took Deli and the others in that direction before was that Jen Entong Guò Alien guided her to lead the others into the other party's encirclement, otherwise, I'm afraid those idiots wouldn't have attacked so quickly. But that's fine, those pesky tails have been killed, so the next thing is ...............
"Mr. Jenn........."
A beautiful and lilting voice sounded behind Jenn, interrupting his thoughts, and he turned his head to see the girl he had invited to dance with him standing there with a blush and a shining look in her eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
"I just want to take a break, it's so stuffy inside, Miss Williams."
Jenn raised his glass and smiled at the girl in front of him. He wasn't lying, in fact, the banquet was a bit tiring. In general, the nobles would not hold banquets for more than too long. But this time the ceremony was different, and the feast lasted a whole day until the end of the ceremony. This custom also derives from the Battle of the Spring Breeze, when Urna was on his way with five of his loyalists to attack the barbarians, and in order to express her belief in her husband's victory, his wife, Lady Laika, had prepared a feast for the victory since they left, and waited until Urna and the others returned safely. And this custom is also to pay tribute to this, to show the persistence and belief of the federal aristocracy.
It's just that with the development of time, this banquet is now not so much to express the beliefs of the nobles as to test their willpower. You must know that the banquet will last for a whole day, from morning to night without a pause, and the servants and the band can be rotated, but the nobles cannot be rotated. That means they have to persevere in such an environment, not counting the celebration that will take place when the winners return from victory...............
In a certain way, the nobility is also quite hard. However, in the eyes of civilians, I am afraid that this is just a "happy trouble".
Of course, nobles are also human beings, except for those who are strong and have been tempered physically and mentally, no one can stand the noise for three consecutive days. So basically every noble family is to take turns to send members to the banquet, of course. Those old patriarchs are old, and they can't toss for so long. Went to rest early. Only the young members of the noble family remained in the hall to talk and pass the time. It's just that I saw the appearance of this eldest lady. It still made Jenn a little curious. Although it is said that all the nobles will participate in this banquet, basically the ladies will go back to the guest room to rest after dark.
And this eldest lady didn't go back to rest so late, why did she come to find herself?
Hearing Jenn's words, a trace of dissatisfaction suddenly appeared in the girl's eyes, and then she walked in front of Jenn in small steps, and looked at the man in front of her with a little coquettishness.
"Really, Mr. Jenn, didn't you say it, when it was just the two of us. Is it okay to call me Tina? ”
"Ah......... That's a faux pas, Miss Tina, and I'm sorry I was negligent. ”
Hearing the other party's complaint, Jenn nodded gracefully, and then walked to the girl's side and looked at her. Noticing the somewhat intoxicated light in Tina's eyes, the corners of Jenn's mouth curled slightly.
It seems that this is a little simpler than you think.
"Nothing, Mr. Jenn. Please don't apologize to me, I'm just curious......... After all, I can't see you in the venue........."
Tina blinked curiously and looked at Jenn again.
"Then again. Mr. Jenn, who do you think will be the victor of this ceremony? ”
When confronted with Tina's inquiry, Jenn did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned his glass. That's when he spoke.
"Hmm......... That's an interesting question, Miss Tina. Who do you think will emerge victorious? ”
"I'm sure it's going to be the Pawood family."
Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Tina immediately smiled happily. Hearing this, Jenn couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Oh? To my surprise, I thought you would want the Williams to win. ”
"As much as I would like my family to win, I know it's going to be difficult because my brother isn't a very capable guy and he's always small-hearted, and I don't like him. But I would like the Pawood family to win, for Miss Deli is a good friend of mine, and she's very capable, and she's a mage, and I think she'll be able to succeed. ”
Jenn was not surprised by Tina's answer, in fact, he had already figured out the background of the eldest lady long ago, she was a member of the Williams family, and the Williams family and the Pawood family were also quite a strong alliance. Not only that, but Tina and Deli are good friends. The two have known each other since childhood and can be described as quite familiar.
But compared with a "white-collar elite" like Dai Li, Tina is more similar to the kind of greenhouse lady of a traditional aristocratic family. Jenn could hear that she was very envious of the fact that Deli could meddle in the family affairs and have her own voice. However, it is a pity that she has no talent for magic herself, and she does not have any political ability. Therefore, I can only obediently make a political vase, waiting to "play a role" in family reproduction and political marriage.
However, Jenn found that Tina was still a little too naïve compared to Deli. But this is also a common problem of many aristocratic ladies, to put it mildly, most of the nobles raise their daughters like pigs, they are enclosed in the pigsty all day long, and they are raised white and beautiful, as long as they can play a role in the back. Therefore, the common problem of most aristocratic ladies is that they are very strict with Wenqing, and they especially like to daydream, and in turn, they have no concept of reality at all, and jokes like "why don't you eat cake without bread" are not without jokes in some aristocratic ladies.
Although Tina is not so extreme, she is also like other noble ladies, always full of dreams, and too naïve in her life, like Jenn just casually said a few words, she exposed her dissatisfaction with her brother. It's taboo to expose family conflicts among nobles, but looking at Tina's appearance, she doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with expressing her thoughts in front of Jenn.
That's a lot of fun...............
Thinking of this, Jenn reached out and pushed down his glasses. Now that the matter on Patilina's side has been dealt with, it is time to do it yourself. Originally, Jenn was still thinking about which target to choose as a target, but now......... He's got a plan.
Thinking of this, Jenn raised his head to look at the girl in front of him, and then spoke softly.
"It's late at night, Miss Tina, I'll take you back to your room to rest." (To be continued......)
