Quadruple split.

Chapter 655 The real black hand

five minutes later
The Queen and Mrs. Diggory, Mrs. Forsyth, Mrs. Burke, Mrs. Clement, Ji Xiaodao, Cassana, and Cedric have already gone to the kitchen to think about surprises for the upcoming dinner, while the others Then he and Emperor William came to a warm and luxurious side hall on the second floor of the palace, planning to use this spare time for a little chat.

Of course, everyone knows that the so-called "chat for a while" is the theme of today, and the dinner after that was actually just incidental.

Just now the queen asked the ladies to leave with her, which is naturally for this reason. Miranda Fisher, who is also a lady, did not participate, and it has nothing to do with her craftsmanship, but as a Marquis, she must participate in the next It's just a discussion, and although Cedric, a man, will inherit the position of Marquis Diggory in a few years, he is not qualified now after all, so Marquis Miranda lent him a Poe.

All in all, except for the outspoken Cassana Isabella, everyone knows it.

But this brash little girl was not kept in the dark all the time, because after everyone came to the kitchen, Ji Xiaodao, who was about her age, had already told her the 'insider' for the first time.

"It was so"

Cassana, who was clumsily chopping some kind of vegetables, pursed her lips a little nervously, and asked Ji Xiaodao timidly in a low voice, "That, Sister Jiqiu, shouldn't I come today?"

The latter shook his head slightly, and smiled lightly while peeling the fruit skillfully: "It's okay, you should also be able to see that this is not a serious meeting, although they may indeed talk about some serious topics, as long as Let's not make trouble."

Cassana nodded weakly, and said with a reddish face: "Thank you, sister Jiqiu, if it wasn't for you"

"You don't need to use honorifics with me."

Ji Xiaodao quickly held down Kassana's little hand that was lowering the blade, and said with a smile: "Also, you must concentrate when cutting vegetables."

The little girl let out a soft cry, and then saw Ji Xiaodao casually took the bright red umbrella-shaped vegetable in front of her, and quickly cut it into a small pile of filaments, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ji prays that sister is very good at it!" Cutting vegetables, have you practiced deliberately?"

"Well, how should I put it, there are various reasons."

Ji Xiaodao shrugged with a wry smile. She couldn't say that it was because her sister's cooking was too high-powered that she was forced to learn cooking by herself in order to survive.

Cassana nodded vigorously, looking at Ji Xiaodao's skillful knife skills with burning eyes, as if she could learn it herself after seeing it.

"Mrs. Burke is making a snack."

Ji Xiaodao raised his chin towards the other side of the kitchen, and said with a smile, "If you go now, you should be able to eat the first batch of the latest one."

Kassana scratched her hair a little embarrassedly: "I don't really like sweets."

"Is it?"

Ji Xiaodao raised his eyebrows, and said casually: "Me too, but Mo really likes it."

"Eh?"

Cassana was stunned for a moment, then clenched her small fists with a struggling expression, she just stood there without moving a step, and just laughed a little stiffly: "Hahaha is that so?"

Ji Xiaodao couldn't help but glanced helplessly at the aristocratic girl who was trying to pretend that she didn't care: "Well, let me ask, you don't think I didn't notice it?"

As a result, the latter really replied in a daze: "Huh?"

"I mean"

The dark elf girl smiled wryly and rubbed a strand of silver hair on her forehead, then said while putting two small piles of vegetable shreds in front of her in a small plate, "It's because you have a good impression of Mo."

Cassana: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

【So, is this girl a bit too slow in some aspects.】

Ji Xiaodao sighed, turned his head and said to Kasanna who was blushing almost to the point of bleeding, "Yes! I knew you were going to grab a man from me!"

Cassana trembled suddenly, waved her hands stammeringly and said, "No, I didn't think about that."

"You didn't think that much?"

Ji Xiaodao feigned anger.

The little girl nodded timidly.

"Well, I also know you don't think that much."

Ji Xiaodao rubbed Kassana's hair, and said with a serious expression: "So I was just teasing you just now."

"Eh?"

Cassana immediately petrified.

"It's your freedom to like whoever you like."

Ji Xiaodao skillfully adjusted the sauce, leaving Kassana with a calm, joyless and sad side face, and said softly: "But in my opinion, you'd better stay away from that guy Stay away, um, let me explain in advance that this has nothing to do with my current position, it's just for your sake, help me get that bottle of red seasoning."

This kind of words that would never be believed by another person, the simple Kasanna really didn't have the slightest doubt, but asked in a soft voice while laying hands on Ji Xiaodao: "Sister Ji pray, why are you doing this?" Say?"

"Because Mo is the most unsuitable person in the world to be an object of admiration, bar none."

Ji Xiaodao gave the answer without thinking, and then added: "And he is very different from the outside, the him you see is completely different from the real him."

This sentence can be said to be very pertinent, and although there are suspicions of leaking secrets, since the two are the female companion and admirer of the Guilty Lord, it doesn't matter if they are heard, at best they will only feel that Ji Xiaodao is protecting As for Cassana herself, although it cannot be said that she has no doubts in this regard, she can also feel the sincerity in the words of this "Sister of Silent Prayer".

"Hey, what is the Lord of the Sins in the eyes of Sister Jiqiu?"

Kassanna didn't seem to have the slightest awareness of being a rival in love. Instead, she asked with bright eyes, obviously not wanting to miss any opportunity to get to know someone.

It's a pity that Ji Xiaodao didn't say much, but said lightly: "All in all, it's not a good thing to like him, you just need to remember this."

"Well"

At this time, Cassana finally misunderstood, and then suddenly lowered her head and muttered in a low voice: "Actually, I can be small."

Ji Xiaodao looked at the young lady who spoke in amazement, and after a long time of reaction, he laughed and said, "Is it too open to go out?"

Kassana, who knew she had made a slip of the tongue, blushed again and was speechless.

"Don't think too much, in fact, all I want to say is."

Ji Xiaodao put down the sauce in his hand, and said seriously: "Maybe you are willing to give him your heart, but he can't give you his heart in the same way. In fact, I'm not even sure whether he has a 'heart'. .”

Cassana nodded half-understood, and then asked a little discouraged: "Is it because Lord Sin has given his heart to Sister Jiqiu?"

"what"

Ji Xiaodao shrugged, spread his hands and said, "Didn't I say that, I'm not even sure if he has a 'heart'."

Cassana stared at her with burning eyes: "But even so, Sister Ji Prayer gave her 'heart' to Lord Sin, didn't she?"

"Do not."

The latter sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Actually, I'm not sure if I have a 'heart' either."

"How could my sister have no heart?"

"I don't think so"

"Eh? Why do you think so?"

"Because if anything, I'd either never be here in the first place, or"

"Sister Ji Prayer?"

"It's nothing, the side dishes are ready, let's go over there and help~"

the other side

"I want to congratulate you again, Mo."

William Bohe raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "To the lord, he is the hero of the Chauvin Empire."

"To my lord."

The others drank the wine in their glasses at the same time.

Like the others, Mo drank up the red wine in his glass, and smiled awkwardly at William, "Thank you for your love, Mo deserves it."

"No, you deserve it."

The Marquis Miranda next to him chuckled and refilled the wine for Mo and himself, raised his glass and said, "Everyone here knows what you have done, and also knows what catastrophe you have avoided for this country. If this If we are all worthy of it, all of us might as well help out in the kitchen."

Mo shook his head: "But."

"You just made the right choice at the right time."

Imperial Marshal Galahat interrupted Mo's hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "With the possible intervention of the Griffin Dynasty, even I would make the same decision. You should be proud of your decisiveness." pride."

The others also nodded one after another, and the Grand Duke Garros and Prince Arthur, who had always been optimistic about the Lord of Sin, raised their glasses to Mo again in relief.

"Okay, that's the end of the discussion on this matter."

Before Mo opened his mouth, William resolutely revealed the matter of being promoted to the title, and said in a deep voice: "I called everyone here today, mainly because I have a few things to talk about."

Everyone immediately quieted down and turned their gazes to His Majesty the Emperor who was sitting by the fireplace.

"But before that, I'd like to introduce a friend to you all."

William took out a goose-egg-sized purple spar engraved with complicated runes from his pocket, placed it on the low table at hand, and said with a smile: "Li Fo, the agent from Tianzhu Mountain, Mr Stoll."

Tianzhu Mountain? !

agent? !

The people present are all well-informed people, so they naturally know that Tianzhu Mountain, which is located in the northwest of the mainland, has a long history and unfathomable depths, and the representative of Tianzhu Mountain. Most of the people present have heard of it for the first time. , all showed curious looks.

In the next second, accompanied by a slight buzzing sound, a phantom in a white robe and a hood appeared above the spar, and after saluting slightly to everyone, he made a seriously distorted voice: "I'm sorry I can only meet you in this form, my name is Liv Astor, as His Majesty said, I am the representative of Tianzhu Mountain, and I have been active in your country during this time."

"Activity?"

Galahart frowned, and asked politely but forcefully, "What event?"

"Take a look at something."

Li Fu gave a succinct answer, and said lightly: "It may be some kind of power. Or a certain person. In short, it is a dangerous and evil existence."

William nodded before Galahart continued to question, and said in a deep voice: "As Mr. Li Fu's first collaborator after he arrived in the empire, I can guarantee that he is telling the truth, because we, Chauvin, are exactly that force victims."

"His Majesty."

The aged Marquis Nafario Clemente looked at William in surprise.

The latter sighed softly and said with a wry smile: "I know what you want to say, don't worry, Mr. Li Fu will explain to everyone why we are 'victims'."

The judge was taken aback for a moment, then nodded at Li Fu's phantom: "Then I will trouble you, Mr. Proctor."

"You're welcome, Marquis Clement. In fact, I've wanted to have a frank and honest talk with you a long time ago. It's a pity that His Majesty and I have not completed the final observation until not long ago, and we are sure that everyone here is fine."

Li Fu's voice was calm, without showing any emotion.

And the reaction from the crowd was fantastic.
"Observe what?"

Lord Moody Burke rubbed his hands together uneasily.

"Are you guys talking about us? What's wrong with us?"

The fiery Marquis Will McBride's tone was full of gunpowder.

"Please get into the subject as soon as possible, Mr. Li Fu."

Marquis Miranda Fisher narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly, "Everyone is very curious."

"Okay, then let's get straight to the point."

Li Fu nodded, and asked lightly: "First of all, everyone should still remember the massacre in Banser City half a year ago?"

Everyone's face sank, obviously no one's memory would be so bad.

"As far as I know, although the results of the subsequent investigation have not been made public, according to the testimonies of His Excellency the Marshal, Grand Duke Garros, members of the Tsar's Sword Knights, and members of the Hurricane Mages, the matter was finally blamed on the former Imperial Law God, That is, Master Farah Osis."

Li Fu paused for a while when he said this, and then continued: "So, based on your understanding of Master Osis, does he seem to be someone who would do such a thing?"

"Of course not, there is absolutely no way for Farah to betray the Empire."

Immediately, someone answered decisively, but everyone took a closer look, and the person who spoke turned out to be the old marshal Galahat, who, together with Garros, proved the treason of the god of law!

"Look at what I do?"

Galahat snorted, and said in a deep voice: "I did say that Farah attacked us at that time, and even planned to use some kind of large-scale magic to destroy us all in Banser City, but I also don't think it was me. Knowing Farah Osis, obviously, he was not in the right shape at the time."

Grand Duke Garros, who was also involved, nodded beside him, and echoed: "Your Excellency Marshal is right, Teacher Fala's state was indeed very strange at that time, and we had already reported this when we first returned to the capital. Your Majesty."

"Could it be that"

Arthur suddenly turned his head to look at Li Fu's phantom above the spar, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li Fu, do you know the reason why Your Excellency Fashen behaved differently at that time?!"

"Although I dare not make inferences without certainty."

Li Fu took a deep breath and exchanged glances with Emperor William next to him.
"But I can guarantee that Master Osis, who is also the representative of Tianzhu Mountain with me, will never do that kind of thing, so he was probably controlled by someone at that time or even earlier, and that person, that is, The real mastermind behind the scenes!"
