Chapter 418: assassinate
Liu Daoqing was still very familiar with the Norma camp of the Thracian Army.
This camp is roughly the same as the buildings from the time of Duke Norma. Liu Daoqing and the others are lurking here, doing tricks on the leylines, and when preparing for landslides, they often secretly rest here.
He turned into a cyan shadow, cruising along the decorative spring by the roadside, and soon came to the place where Prince Abel was staying.
It was originally called "Cuilu Manor". It belonged to the Marquis of D'Addalion. Later, the Marquis fell ill and went to Port Molai to recuperate. The Dadalion family also retreated with Duke Norma, and the manor was empty. Down, it was transformed into a residence for important guests.
Katerina still paid a lot of attention to the renovation of Cuilu Manor. She has decided to use the Norma area as the main backup base of the Ellants family, and naturally she will not begrudge wealth and manpower here. As the facade of aristocrats, of course, the place to entertain guests must be beautiful and gorgeous.
This is not her own hobby, but the way it is. In fact, she herself does not have any special hobbies for things like luxury and glamour. Her residence is quite simple, and she has done a good job in security work. As the only direct heir to the current generation of the Ellants family, she has not yet had a son. The half-daughter Katarina still pays great attention to her own safety work. Even if she wants to be negligent, the subordinates of the Elanz family will not relax.
Cuilu Manor was originally a rather elegant garden-style building, with springs and creeks everywhere, scattered and elegant. This environment gave Liu Daoqing great convenience, allowing him to easily get in and avoid all the patrolling guards.
Of course, there is also a magic circle to guard against in the manor. But the magic circle can only guard against visible monsters, and there will be no guard against a spring flowing upstream.
What's more... As a baron subordinate to the Ayrants family, and also the chief chef trusted by the Duke of Ayrants, Liu Daoqing's position in the Ayrants family is actually not low. Most of the alarm circles will not react to him.
If this is on Earth, someone appears at a time and place where he shouldn't appear, and the personnel in charge of monitoring will never take it lightly. But the magic circle in this world obviously does not have such a high IQ. Since it judges that Liu Daoqing is a trustworthy friend, it will not hinder him.
So Liu Daoqing went upstream in the Cuilu Manor without being stopped at all, until he arrived outside Prince Abel's living room, and was stopped by the magic circle.
This magic circle does not ask who is coming, as long as there is no permission from the residents, no one is allowed to approach.
Liu Daoqing clearly felt the existence of the magic circle. Of course, he knew that the magic circle would definitely stop him, so he didn't mean to break through, but buried his head and rushed into the deeper groundwater.
Like most aristocratic residences in the Norma area, Cuilu Manor is not built on the mountain - the nobles of Norma hate "mountain residence", and if it is not a last resort such as war, they will live as low as possible. The place.
The terrain is low, which means that there is sufficient groundwater, which means that there are many water veins below.
Liu Daoqing turned into a small fish and searched in the maze-like underground water veins. It took almost half an hour to bypass the magic circle guarding the prince's living room and enter the magic circle.
But he still didn't rush out hastily. If he rushes out now, he will only be shocked.
With his own hands, he dug a small puddle not far from the ground, hid in it, and quietly observed the situation above his head.
After a while, the prince returned.
Judging from the heavy footsteps, he should be in a bad mood.
"What on earth is Ellants thinking?" a guard whispered. "It's just a cook, why is she suddenly unhappy?"
"It's hard to find such a good chef," said another guard.
"No matter how hard it is to find it, it's just a chef after all." The previous guard said, "What on earth did she think about getting angry with His Highness for a mere chef?"
"You think too much." Prince Abel sat down, sneered, and said, "You are all deceived by that woman Katerina! Do you really think she is angry about that chef? Wrong! She guessed me The purpose of his visit, he is protesting at me in circles!"
The two guards suddenly understood - they were able to follow Prince Abel, and naturally they had some understanding of the specifics of the trip. At this moment, they looked at each other and could not help frowning.
The prince didn't seem nervous. He smiled and said, "However, Katerina's actions have exposed her own guilty conscience!"
"Confused?"
"That's right, it's just a guilty conscience!" the prince said confidently, "If she is really confident, she is not afraid of me interfering in the canonization ceremony, not afraid that I will intercept it from the middle, and not afraid that I will win over the nobles in the Molai area, then she will not be at all. It is necessary to be angry - would you be angry with someone who has traveled all the way for nothing and is destined to be laughed at by you?"
The guards were thoughtful.
The prince didn't let them think for a long time, and continued: "She got angry just now about the chef, in fact, she was warning me not to win over those nobles, and not to rob her interests-hehe, what am I doing here? Yes? I'm here to do this!"
One of the guards said with some concern: "Then... Your Highness, what should I do if Duke Alanz attacks you because of this matter?"
"Start? How is that possible!" The prince laughed loudly, "You don't know Katerina, but I understand. Her ideas are very simple, she will raise her opinions if she has any opinions, and act if she is not satisfied. The person who takes the bend. If she really wanted to monopolize the huge profit this time, she would have injured us long ago, and then sent us back to Thrace City in the name of recuperating. Since she dared not do it, it means that She is actually ready to give up some of her interests and come to a compromise with the king."
He said confidently: "I don't think she has yet decided how much benefit she will give up. In the next period, all I have to do is to get as many benefits as possible to pave the way for the future."
The guards were convincing, praised one after another, and flattered one after another.
The prince was also very happy. He laughed at these compliments, chatted for a while, and said, "Actually, Katerina Ailanz is really a good person. She has a simple mind, a strong strength, a beautiful person, and a good figure... Wait for me. After taking the throne, maybe I can consider making her my queen..."
Before he finished speaking, accompanied by a roar of "Fuck you", a water column burst through the floor and rose up. In the water column, a dragon-headed fish body, a slender monster rushed out, opened its mouth, and fiercely directed at the prince. bit down.
