A gentle voice came from her ears. Fei Xin adjusted her posture with difficulty, looked at Koulan, and nodded hurriedly.
So exciting.
Koulan giggled, and one of her hands dissipated into white clouds, gently hugging Fei Xin, offsetting the kinetic energy, and letting Fei Xin slowly fall like catkins.
Fei Xin huddled in the clouds with lingering fear. She never liked ropeless bungee jumping because it was too scary.
Koulan floated to her side, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is it fun? Do you want to try it again?"
Fei Xin shook her head like a rattle.
"No."
Although she knew that Kolan would not let her fall into ketchup, playing like this all the time could cause heart problems.
Fei Xin didn't like it, so Koulan calmly controlled the white cloud to land in the inner courtyard of the city hall.
The staff working in the city hall were waiting for Koulan's arrival. Koulan removed the white mist and Fei Xin stood steadily on the ground. The appearance of a newcomer made the officials' eyes flicker, and they guessed the identity of this person.
The faces of the few staff members in the parliament changed, realizing that something was wrong.
——Oh no, she hooked up with Elder Tianhai.
Koulan could see every subtle expression on everyone's face. Ignoring the intrigues of ordinary people, she strode over to an officer and ordered, "He'er, give me all the information on this matter... Is the assassin still alive?"
"All is well, my lord."
"Let the Spirit Guards search his soul and check his memory."
"Your will."
Hull took the order and left to carry out the order.
Next, Kolan skillfully issued one order after another, making the sluggish city hall run quickly because of her.
Soon after, intelligence came in one after another.
The assassin was named Che Lin, an armed security guard at the city hall. He was not very strong and assassinated Amuro through a sneak attack.
Through soul searching, Che Lin's original confession was confirmed. He was unable to afford the high interest of the loan shark and came up with the idea of robbery. He chose a high-end carriage on the way back. The passenger of the carriage was Amuro, who had just attended a banquet and drank too much.
No one guided him from beginning to end; it was entirely Che Lin's spontaneous behavior.
The confession and the investigation interviews seem reasonable, but the timing is too coincidental, and such an explanation given to the association staff will only make people feel perfunctory. It can neither explain the abnormality of Amuro's inability to resurrect, nor does it conform to Koran's intention to take advantage of the situation to hand a knife to Fei Xin.
There must be a conspiracy behind it, there must be a conspiracy.
Koulan judged the confession: "False intelligence, continue investigating."
Chapter 322 I have three strategies: good, medium and bad
After sending the guards' investigation results back for re-investigation, Kolan had his men prepare a carriage to the Listener's Guild.
The wheels gurgled as the group arrived at the guild unimpeded. The advance team from the city hall had already arrived and was chatting with the association staff to kill time.
Noita sat quietly at the center right of the conference table, gazing up at the azure wallpaper as if lost in thought, her mind swirling with secrets she couldn't share with anyone else. Her relaxed demeanor clashed with the atmosphere of the conference room, creating a sense of intense isolation.
But no one had the right to accuse her. Her own people had no right to control her, and the Serkar people hoped she would maintain this attitude. Just sitting here, Noita was putting a deep pressure on the Serkar negotiators. If she were to be shaken from her composure, who knows how much trouble would ensue.
Before Kou Lan took office, the initiative was always in the hands of the association staff.
But Serkar's resistance to pressure did not last long. Kolan walked into the spacious negotiation room leisurely soon after. The clear and tolerant atmosphere like the sky moved the oppressive aura unconsciously emitted by Noita to the middle of the conference table, maintaining a delicate balance.
Kolan sat in the center of the left side of the conference table, opposite Noita.
"I've long heard of you, Miss Noita. I'm here to discuss a recent incident. We've mobilized a large number of guards to investigate and will certainly get to the bottom of this tragedy."
"Ah."
Noita woke up from her trance and saw Koulan and Fei Xin standing behind her, her smile as bright as a blooming carnation.
"Hi~"
She greeted Fei Xin happily.
Fei Xin's expression changed slightly, and she forced a smile to face Noita.
Why didn't anyone tell her that this guy was from the association?
Koulan noticed the two people's little movements and looked between them suspiciously.
What's going on? Do these two have a little secret?
She suppressed her curiosity and concentrated on sitting quietly with Noita, allowing the staff to talk with the association members without any hesitation.
The meeting lasted until the night and will be held as usual tomorrow, but both sides have reached a consensus today: the cause of Amuro's death needs to be investigated.
Now the issue of compensation has not been discussed well.
The two sides shook hands and made peace, temporarily suspending the fighting and waiting to fight again tomorrow.
Noita glanced meaningfully at Fei Xin, who hadn't said a word the entire time, and then disappeared like a cloud of smoke.
Fei Xin followed Koulan into the carriage. In this meeting, she was probably the one who listened most attentively, much more attentively than Koulan and Noita. However, Fei Xin had the least experience, and the more carefully she listened, the more likely she would fall into the trap of the verbal confrontation between the two sides.
Now my temples are swollen, this is an attack of knowledge.
Halfway through the journey, Kolan asked her about her entanglement with Noita.
Fei Xin honestly told the story of the grudge between the two sides, with a hint of fear and reluctance in her words.
Wow, there is this kind of secret food that you can eat.
Kou Lan curled her lips and asked quietly, "So, she really transformed from ordinary to extraordinary in just half a year?"
"That should be... If she was already an elite warrior, with the blessing of the ritual, she wouldn't have had to stand against me for so long. My swordsmanship is actually far inferior to hers."
"This girl has the qualities of a role model. If I had known about your relationship earlier, I would have given you away as a gift... Don't be afraid, it's just a joke. You are the extraordinary seed I have reserved. Although you are not as good as her, I will not give you away easily."
Fei Xin's expression froze. Seeing that Fei Xin was frightened, Kou Lan changed the subject and stopped talking about it.
She hummed Serkar's little tune happily, preparing to teach Feixin some lessons on the art of language after returning to the nest. The girl was unwavering and had a good foundation, but the only thing that was worrying was that she always maintained a certain clarity and stupidity.
In the distance, the sun sank into the horizon and night fell.
The parliament convened in the shadows, and Elder Tianhai's strong intervention made things go in an unpredictable direction. Although they were all sure that the "Amuro case" had nothing to do with them, as they continued to investigate, they would always find some things that were inconvenient to make public.
Moreover, someone witnessed Fei Xin and Elder Tian Hai appearing together, and with Fei Xin slandering them, it would be hard not to find out some fatal information.
Everyone was talking about it, and they all realized that the wind direction had changed.
The affairs officer did not come, so there was no one to take charge of the overall situation in the parliament.
The powerful people talked at once, unable to reach a consensus, and it was difficult to reach a conclusion. The powerful people who claimed to be parliamentarians were helpless in the face of the extraordinary people who possessed absolute power. They were like a small boat on the seashore, who could only hope that the huge waves would not come towards them.
Wingard tasted the panic in today's meeting, which was worse than the anxiety and uneasiness of last time, and turned into a powerless sadness.
The powerful people who used to be in charge of the situation are now showing a tendency to give up.
"What are you afraid of?"
With no one to take charge of the situation, Wingard stepped forward.
He said, "Elder Tianhai is certainly authoritative, but that's no reason for us to give up resistance. You are all the best of Serkar and have the opportunity to meet with the elders. You have connections in all directions. If we join forces, we can even support a new elder."
"We shouldn't be so complacent and should act quickly."
The dignitary looked in his direction and advised him bitterly, "Wengard, you have a good resume and haven't suffered many setbacks, but you also know that this isn't the first time Elder Tianhai has helped someone. In the past, there have been talented people who sought to see Elder Tianhai, seeking favors, and attempting to use the power they gained to change Serkar. Some of them made some minor changes, some were assassinated by us, and others, realizing they couldn't fight us, cooperated with us, or died in depression."
Wingard replied: "I know these things, but few people come to me."
A cold laugh echoed from the darkness: "Because you're good at pretending. If it weren't for the anti-aging cream, we wouldn't have known you were secretly doing something so outrageous that it would be condemned by heaven and man."
"We've gone off topic." Hearing someone's sneer, another voice chimed in, "In the past, it was just the unruly people who were bullying us. They seemed aggressive, but we had countless ways to deal with them. But this time is different. Elder Tianhai has made a rare move, leaving his lair and traveling to Serkar with Feixin. The profound meaning of this action is undeniable."
"It's just a coincidence," Wingard argued. "My people saw Fei Xin step into the portal, and the messenger from City Hall followed her in right after. Elder Tian Hai showed up because of the 'Amuro case,' not because of Fei Xin's request. We still have a chance!"
The powerful speech moved some dignitaries, who coldly asked, "Where is the hope?"
"It depends on you. Just like how you dealt with Elder Tianhai in the past, you should deal with Feixin this time!"
"You want to participate too?"
"We are all members of the council, so of course we have to work together. How can I be left out?"
"Okay, gentle or tough?"
The powerful have three strategies: good, medium and bad.
"How do you say gentle?"
"Submit to her, satisfy her purpose, or lure her with benefits."
The best strategy is to sacrifice the army to protect the king and consider the overall situation. If you can form an alliance with them, it would be best.
"She's after the Rejuvenating Cream. Are you willing to give up this benefit? This stubborn person won't turn back until he hits the wall. I'm afraid he will break the wall even if he hits it."
"If she disagrees, then we can use our connections to secretly hinder her. We won't stop her, but we can allow for reasonable accidents that prevent personnel, supplies, or orders from reaching the correct location."
"What about strong measures?"
"Strike first and have her rest in Hell for a while, then wait for Elder Tianhai's reprimand."
ps: My friend’s book “For the Blue and Clean Dream”, woohoo
Chapter 323 Records
The tough approach was still too tough. When this plan was proposed, the whole audience fell silent. Even Wingard was speechless for a moment and put the plan on hold for later.
Everyone talks about being powerful, but when it comes to actually making a move on Fei Xin, it can be said that no one dared to do so after Elder Tian Hai accompanied her to the negotiations.
At least not now.
After all, Wen Jiade's speculation does make some sense, but who can guarantee that Fei Xin is not valued by Elder Tianhai?
If she were to be murdered, Elder Tianhai might not kill anyone, but no one involved in the murder would be able to escape.
Wen Jiade moderated the situation and said gently, "Let's first use a gentle solution to test Fei Xin's attitude and see how far this hungry beast will go to satisfy itself."
The dignitaries agreed and immediately dissolved the meeting.
Back to reality, the lights in the room were as bright as day. Wingard walked out of the room with steady steps. His back was still straight, but he had lost a lot of energy, just like an old tree about to die.
As an old fellow who has lived for more than two hundred years, Wingard's perception of crisis has been honed to a certain degree through long-term training. The intelligence and intuition he has gathered have sketched out an outline hidden deep behind the undercurrent in his mind, mysterious, huge, and no longer showing its presence at all times.
This feeling first became apparent when he was attacked by snow elves who appeared completely out of nowhere, and then gradually emerged.
The attack on the Dongcheng District gang, the betrayal of the Rango Society, the targeting of Fei Xin, the exposure of the Zhuyanzhi Workshop...all these events form an impenetrable spider web, and the person behind the scenes is like the giant elephant in the story of the blind men and the blind men touching the elephant, and they have no idea of its true face.
The rich and powerful thought that a storm was coming, but he was already in the middle of it, without even a straw raincoat.
The lights in the residential courtyard flickered, and Wen Jiade walked in the corridor late at night, feeling uneasy. Whenever he thought about his recent misfortunes, he felt breathless.
Tonight, Wingard is caught up in stressful emo again, his sorrowful hair falling all over the floor, revealing the secret truth that his vitality is fading fast.
Wen Jiade took a walk at night to relieve his depression and look for a solution, but suddenly, he sensed a murderous aura as faint as mist, and his beast instinct told him that there was an uninvited guest lurking around him.
There are enemies.
Wen Jiade's pupils silently transformed into petrified demon eyes, with a faint light hidden in his pupils, searching for the enemy's location.
Unexpectedly, the uninvited guest revealed himself not far from him.
The assassin, dressed in black armor, said softly, "Mr. Wingard, Lord Reynard invites you to the embassy for a meeting."
The visitor is Renahu's sharp blade, the black knife assassin.
The black knife assassin did not tell him the reason for the invitation. Wen Jiade stood still and thought for a moment, then took the carriage and guards and headed to the embassy.
Inside the embassy, Reina Hu enthusiastically invited Wen Jiade to sit down and said straight to the point, "Friend, I found a clue that may help you identify the murderer."
what?
Wen Jiade was stunned when he heard this and hurriedly sat down next to Lena Hu.
"Which murderer?"
"You're confused. Of course it's the person who attacked you. When you first told me about your tragic experience, I became concerned and sent my men to look for him. Now I've finally found something."
Wingard gave a forced smile: "If it was a snow elf, I would already know it."
"Do not."
Renahu's interruption made Wingard even more surprised.
