[Slow Travel] Assassin System - Mingguang

The puppet pushed Miao Xuan to the hall.

The banquet prepared only for members of the royal family has not yet officially started. Miao Xuan decided to contact the heir to the throne from afar before the queen, and then make a corresponding judgment based on his behavior towards the Duke of Ertuza.

Miao Xuan knew that Zechariah's intuition was very accurate, and most of the people he would resist were of the opposite type, either ambitious or full of crimes, this premonition was even somewhat similar to Miao Xuan's intuition.

Therefore, if the Duke of Ertuza is really an ambitious guy, then Miao Xuan can't let him get in touch with the queen too much.

"Queen" is a very useful political label, especially for heirs. A qualified politician will not miss all the resources he has access to, and what Miao Xuan can't bear is that his aunt is being used like this.

After all, the current royal family is extinct. Just like the usual changes that have been repeated in the history of Niaterbo, the Stuart dynasty is about to become Ertusa. After the new king ascends the throne, the face of the country will change accordingly different.

During this process, many problems will arise, and countless conflicts will erupt together, the most deadly of which is undoubtedly the struggle for power - will the royal family centralize power, or will the parliament gain power?Is it the Lord who loves the world, or is it the balance of the three powers?

If the duke still holds the idea of ​​entering the palace and restoring the king...

It is foreseeable that this Nord Noor is about to become a fierce and cruel stage of struggle, and the royal family, the Holy See and the parliament will all be involved in it.

With the development of steam technology, sufficient productivity is enough for this society to transition to the next stage, and the power held by the royal family is constantly being weakened, especially after the Queen's illness, almost all national affairs are decided by the cabinet and parliament of.

Miao Xuan doesn't think there is anything wrong with this trend. Many worlds he has experienced have similar development curves. In addition, he is more willing to be a bystander than to personally promote changes in the world line.

Although this is what he said, Miao Xuan himself often cannot restrain his behavior. He is easily influenced by the background of modeling in the small world, and then fulfills his individual mission with a standpoint, and basically it is in line with justice Order of camp requirements.

Therefore, the next power struggle is not something he, the former prince, needs to worry about. All he has to do is to ensure that the country will not be shaken from within because of the struggle for power, and to help Sakya and Ian who have to get into the fight as much as possible... …

Of course, the premise of all this is that he is still "alive".

The assassination target that Miao Xuan was following in this world was only the eagle that escaped by chance.

The banquet hall will arrive soon, because this is only a family banquet for the members of the royal family. This time, the occasion chosen is a warmer but narrow hall. The complicated decorations and luxurious arrangements are all in warm tones. To suit the occasion, There are also vegetables, fruits and flowers that can be harvested in early autumn.

Before entering the gate, Miao Xuan saw the guests waiting in the hall on the small map. Surrounded by a group of attendants and maids, the one green and two yellow were particularly conspicuous.

The color of the mark displayed on the mini-map is only for the individual’s attitude towards Miao Xuan. Generally speaking, green is friendly and friendly, and yellow is neutral or unfamiliar. This mark may not be completely correct, it also depends on the strength of mental strength and other complex factors.

When Miao Xuan entered the gate, the first thing he saw were two children sitting by the wall—these two yellow dots were the Duke's eldest daughter and youngest son.

The older sister has a dignified posture, and the younger brother has a cowardly temperament. Although they look thin under the formal attire, the two children are born very well, but they probably can't restrain themselves well, so they are surprised by the appearance of the Prince of Ceylon. Finally, he couldn't help but look at his legs with regret and pity.

Soon, with a snap, the two little yellow dots turned green.

As for the green dot, naturally only the Duke of Ertuza, the heir to the royal family was standing by the window with his hands behind his back. After seeing Miao Xuan, he immediately stepped forward a few steps, with a look of warm welcome.

As described by Zechariah, this is a tall and burly man with broad shoulders and broad back, with brown hair and blue eyes in line with the royal family, and deep facial features, giving people a rough but not reckless feeling.

And since Miao Xuan entered the small banquet hall, this person looked at Miao Xuan without blinking. When Miao Xuan met his eyes, he narrowed his eyes and showed a smile that could be called presumptuous.

Miao Xuan keenly sensed that something was wrong, and at this moment, the angry and trembling voice of the small system rang in his ears—【Brother, this duke is target one! 】

*

This world is always changing, everyone is fighting and fighting to survive, and only the truly powerful can enjoy everything he wants.

Jun Ying sat on the VIP seat of the palace, surrounded by his two well-behaved "sons and daughters", surrounded by respectful and solemn servants, and in front of him was the "Autumn Harvest" gate that was opened to him.

He's back here again.Back to Nordnore, the capital of the empire on which the sun never sets, but this time, he is no longer an illegitimate son of low blood, nor is he a sneaky thief, nor is he a despicable and shameless robber. He is a duke with a rich fief, he is The next king of this land!

Years of hard work have paid off at this moment. His fiefdom and army have been integrated into this new noble status. At this moment, there is nothing more satisfying than the right of succession, and the throne is within easy reach. !

And what follows is the surprise reward brought about by the joy of the harvest.

Jun Ying's hands tensed up nervously, and he stared straight at the door of the small banquet hall, until the attendant whispered a report, breaking the silence of the room, until the door opened to the outside, revealing the early autumn light, until the man in the wheelchair The thin figure fell into his field of vision.

All of this is exactly the same as the scene Junying imagined countless times.

The years have not brought much change to this person, he still seems to be the same beautiful appearance, whether it is light brown short hair, clear blue eyes, or gentle and handsome face...

Except for the meticulously buttoned bow tie at the neck.

Jun Ying knew that under the cover of this soft cloth, there was an indelible dark scar, which was the mark he left on this person, it meant his shame and despicableness, and it recorded a certain despicable How the Bandit committed a monstrous crime, he and the man who made it deserve hell, but—

This is also an indelible mark carved on the little prince's neck that belongs only to him!

Junying took a deep breath, as if he could smell some sweet fragrance everywhere, this non-existent fantasy made him gradually excited, the secret and distorted joy gradually climbed up, even about to catch up with the achievement of inheriting the throne, even He himself doesn't understand why he has such emotions...

But anyway, it feels as good as it gets.

Immediately afterwards, their eyes met, and those blue eyes fell on him.

So Jun Ying couldn't help laughing, like a child who succeeded in a prank, he was expecting to get something, whether it was glaring, scolding, or even insulting—he was expecting to be identified and exposed by the little prince, and Eager to reveal the answer in person after hiding the truth, these two desires accounted for the same amount of weight, and for a while it made Junying into a difficult situation.

After a brief selection problem, Junying voted for the former.

Can you recognize it?Can it be done!Through this heavy camouflage, because of me, I revealed that unforgettable emotion!

However, the facts did not develop as Junying expected. The little prince did not show any abnormalities. He just looked at him calmly, with an indifferent expression on his handsome face, and his eyes seemed to see him. A stranger who meets by chance, without the slightest undue fluctuation.

And it wasn't until the moment of scrutiny was over that he smiled politely and distantly, and nodded to the distinguished guests who came from afar——the little prince didn't recognize him, and all he saw was a false "Ertusa" Duke".

In Junying's heart, he didn't know whether it was more disappointment or more luck, so he had no choice but to wrap up his disguise and said politely: "Your Highness, it's the first time we meet, and I have known you for a long time."

The little prince didn't give him any good face, he just hummed so that he was right to hear it.

This undisguised indifference is almost a manifestation of disgust, Junying can feel that the attendants around him are silently paying attention to this unsuccessful meeting, and even his fake son and daughter are nervous nervously——

But at this moment, the little prince seemed to have noticed something, he turned to the two children, and smiled at them comfortingly: "Welcome to Nordnore, the climate and environment here are different from those of Ertusa. There is a small gap, if you encounter any problems, you can come to me at any time."

This welcome came very earnestly, and it made people feel that it was not a hypocritical courtesy. The princess and the young master were almost flattered, so the siblings saluted and thanked them with some surprises and trepidation, and their cramped emotions were relieved by this. .

Junying: ...

Junying can endure and even enjoy the little prince's dislike towards him, but such obvious differential treatment is not a good experience, he persisted and hurriedly said: "It seems that these two children are very much loved by His Highness. Their luck, we have already purchased a private house in Nordnore, I don’t know if we have the honor to invite His Highness—”

"Well, thank you."

The little prince cut off the invitation directly with perfunctory, and then he turned around and whispered something to the head maid beside him. His gesture made it clear that he didn't want to talk to the guests, as if talking with the maid was a hundred times more important than making friends with the heir to the throne.

Junying: ...

Jun Ying no longer made fun of himself, but he still stared straight at the little prince, from his indifferent hair all the way to the immaculate white tie.

Just staring at it like this, Jun Ying had bad thoughts, bad, he thought, he couldn't bear it anymore.

How much he wanted to step forward regardless of the occasion, and use the most embarrassing methods to break the indifferent and reserved look of the little prince, and in his intense astonishment and resistance, to caress the bright red line hidden in his collar. Mark of……

Finally, Jun Ying, who was thinking this way, got a guarded gaze!However, this resistance did not come from the little cousin he was thinking of, but from the holy priest in white robes sitting next to the little prince.

This guy……?

Along the way, he didn't mention anything other than medical treatment, and avoided even suggestions related to the interior of the church. He didn't respond to anything he said, and looked half-dead, but when he sat next to the little prince, he immediately felt Breaking away from the holy and vulgar, from a god to a mortal.

Junying snorted softly, and he felt more and more that this Cornwallis was not pleasing to the eye, even though he had a holy appearance that was praised by countless people, the appearance of him sticking to the little prince alone was enough to make him Junying was disgusted.

The Stuart royal family of Niatalberg is a very interesting family. Every other generation or two, there will be male members who are different from each other. They are either never married or promiscuous, and then The love relationship of the author is extremely outrageous, which provides sufficient and exciting material for the vast number of eclectic unofficial histories.

No one knows this family better than Jun Ying, he himself is a fellow, he just finds it strange that there are two people in their generation.

It is precisely because of this that Junying doesn't care about the legends in the market. The prince of Ceylon fell in love with the orphaned noble girl at first sight, goodbye, love, and entering into a marriage contract. All these can only be a cover-up. They must have been compromises made by the little prince to comfort his aunt.

Besides, what if the fakes come true?According to Junying's poor moral standards, he doesn't care whether he gets married or not, and how his relationship will be after marriage.

Jun Ying was immersed in his dirty thoughts, while the poor princess and the young master snuggled together timidly. As the host, His Royal Highness the Prince also had endless conversations with his guests. The three parties stopped together. This little banquet The hall fell into a brief peace for a while.

At this moment, the queen finally came.

*

The belated queen was still holding her big rabbit, but this time the queen's will was very clear, and she took her seat on her own, because she didn't know the real appearance of the Duke of Ertuza in front of her, so she used to treat her nephew and nephew. With a kind gesture, he first expressed condolences to the heir to the throne who came from afar, and then began to care about his younger brother.

Although suffering from illness for many years, the queen treated the children more tenderly. She let the two children sit beside her, and asked and answered them kindly and kindly, which soon opened up the hearts of the two children.

Miao Xuan, who had to move back to make room for the princess: "..."

Of course, there is no problem in taking care of the little girl, but it is very uncomfortable to be close to the first target, especially when the sight of the first target is disgusting.

Staring at people in the same way, the pirate governor made people feel Chen Ken and sincere, although a bit weird, but acceptable; but if it was changed to target one, this guy only had malicious intentions that made people vigilant, It's like being surrounded by jackals and vultures.

With such a neighbor sitting next to him, Miao Xuan was even a little surprised by his own control - not only did he not directly violently kill the eagle sitting beside him, but he remained indifferent and calm as if nothing had happened.

Of course Miao Xuan understands the truth, this is the royal palace, killing the heir to the throne in front of everyone's eyes will inevitably cause violent turmoil, and his aunt is also here, it is impossible for him to do so directly in front of the queen.

And he didn't know how many cards Junying still had. Since he dared to impersonate him, he must not be an empty air with a reputation, but was fully prepared.

But it's really possible to be quiet...

The last world really tempered his character. Sure enough, after spending a long time in those aristocratic families, anyone has to learn a way to pretend.

Completing the mission is of course very important, but he is also unwilling to let Miao Xuan directly assassinate the target and then leave regardless of the consequences.

Since there is only one chance to enter this world and this era, Miao Xuan is more willing to be a model, to complete from beginning to end, rather than desperately trying to assassinate the target.

The most important thing right now is the handover of the throne, and this matter is closely related to the assassination of Junying. The throne cannot be handed over to Junying, and everything must be settled before he ascends the throne.

Ascertain Junying and the forces behind him, estimate the impact of Junying's accidental death, take countermeasures, choose the princess or the young duke to inherit the throne, and finally cover up the assassination in an unexpected way... …

The queen's rabbit jumped out of her arms again, but this time it jumped neatly onto the princess's lap, so the two children smiled happily and stroked the rabbit's fur carefully.

Perhaps because they grew up in a remote fiefdom, these two children did not have the characteristics of growing up in the court, and they still had innocence and simplicity.

These two children are undoubtedly unfortunate. Their real parents died long ago at the hands of the robber, and the thief shamelessly replaced the role of "father" and arranged their fate and lives immediately.

If the selection criteria for the heir to the throne did not include heirs, otherwise Junying would definitely get rid of his "one son and one daughter".

When Jun Ying succeeds in ascending the throne, these two children will probably follow their parents...

Therefore, due to various considerations, Miao Xuan still needs to save these two innocent children in Junying's layout.

Right now, Nordnore is at its most chaotic time. The information detected by the pigeons is too diverse and confusing. Almost everyone wants to profit from the handover of kingship. In this chaotic situation with frequent chaos, how many accidents Was it caused by Jun Ying?

What's more troublesome is that the case of the carrier pigeon and the falcon had already been closed eight years ago. According to almost everyone's perception, the "Horse Eagle" is already dead. The Queen and the Parliament are even more convinced of this. Even the carrier pigeon All think so.

It is impossible for Miao Xuan to declare bluntly that "the next heir to the throne is a murderer with many crimes", and he cannot even publicly declare hatred, otherwise it will be a dispute within the royal family.

There is only one way left, use the method of an assassin to assassinate the target.

And this should have been the way Miao Xuan was most used to.

It is not difficult to achieve this, Junying's divine grace has been completely exposed, leaving only his purpose and true identity as a secret, but this is not difficult to guess, because Junying has exposed his ambition ——A robber who hates the Rose royal family from the bottom of his heart, a viper who has been dormant for many years and waits patiently for an opportunity, but longs for the most honorable position.

The eagle wants the throne.

Miao Xuan already had a general idea in mind, and he looked at Zechariah who was sitting across the table, so the priest also showed him a puzzled smile.

Ian needs to recover from his injuries, and at the same time he has to face the disputes within the council, Zacharias is also in a bad situation, and they all sincerely believe that "The Eagle" is dead.

Although these two are very reliable subordinates of Miao Xuan, there is a high probability that they will not believe Miao Xuan's judgment on this matter.

It seems that I have to act alone first, and the movements of the pigeons cannot be detected. It must be more stealthy and unobtrusive...

Miao Xuan: "..."

This seems to be really easy to do.

Although it makes my stomach hurt to think so, Miao Xuan does have a natural ally - a sea monster who brought the eagle's early experience and divine grace information.

When Drake received the letter from the puppet, his little Highness was already waiting for him in the theater. He hurried to the theater, but he did not expect to meet the priest in the church of the Holy See in the hall.

Zechariah Cornwallis.

Drake's eyes swept over the priest's tall and elegant figure, dazzling blond hair and blue eyes, deep and fair facial features, and that holy and gentle temperament...

As the adopted son of the previous pope, this person has a pretty good background. It is said that he grew up with the prince since he was a child, and he also has the most harmless and beautiful grace in the world.

These are nothing to Drake. He knows that he is the one who grew up with His Royal Highness. Stay with him day and night.

But even with this self-consolation, Drake was filled with envious malice when he saw Cornwallis' mythological angelic paladin-like appearance.

The aristocrats of Nordnoll probably like this look—at first glance, he is a creation full of love, a flawless work, without any defects, as if he was born to appear under the sun, shining brightly.

According to the Creator respected by this society, this guy fully conforms to the top aesthetics.

Drake couldn't help but think that even in the story fabricated by the carrier pigeon, the down-and-out noble lady, the fiancée who fell in love with the prince at first sight, had blond hair and blue eyes.

It can be seen that His Highness probably also likes this appearance very much (no, it is actually the mainstream hair color and eye color in this world), otherwise why would he be willing to disguise the puppet like this?

Drake knows that he shouldn't stay on land, his territory is vast expanse of sea, he rejects all the nobles in the capital, and the pirates who wash their hands despise the pretentious nobles, this monster from the deep sea has his weird and mysterious He hates the flawless creation, and at the same time yearns for the incomplete beauty.

So when the hiding monster met the broken-winged bird, the irresistible preference made him stop, and after that... that was the inextricable, irreplaceable, true obsession and longing up.

Drake felt more and more that the priest in front of him should die, but he still remembered that this was His Highness's theater, so he endured the roiling malice in his chest and walked straight forward, but just when the two were about to pass by, the priest But suddenly stopped him.

"Your Excellency the Governor."

Zacharias stood still, looking indifferently and vigilantly at the governor with many previous records: "No matter what dirty thoughts you are thinking, when you are in front of His Highness, please abide by the etiquette."

Drake: "..."

Drake looked at the priest almost in surprise. At this moment, compared with anger, his heart was filled with more absurdity and surprise.

From what standpoint did this person persuade him?Is this ignorant thing eager to seek death?In front of him, self-righteously make a gesture of "protection" or "care"...!

Drake's eyes fell into silent darkness, he stared fixedly at the guy blocking the way, and confessed the truth very calmly: "I don't want to kill you here."

Zacharias met Drake's eyes and couldn't help but froze.

He has seen many heinous sinners, and he has encountered all kinds of dangers, but whether it is the death cry under the guillotine, the rotten corpse in the cellar, or the stumps scattered all over the place after the earthquake, there is nothing like that. What's more frightening than those eyes—a kind of indescribable gloom, which seems to hide countless horrible things, and the end of them is death without exception.

A tsunami-like powerful oppression is falling on Zacharias, and his divine grace is just a gentle light. No matter how great and gentle this power is, it cannot completely protect its owner before this threat that is persecuting the soul at this moment.

Zechariah felt the threat of death, he restrained this vague fear, but then an unexplainable worry came to his mind, so he frowned: "You used this power to severely injure Pa Sival, why, do you still want to kill me? But as long as His Highness recognizes your true colors, it doesn’t matter if you take my life.”

Drake: "..."

Drake clearly realized that this person might have more influence on His Highness than Percival, and it wasn't until this moment that the sea monster really wanted to kill. Before that, he just felt disgust and loathing, ah, killing This guy may make His Highness very unhappy, but if he is allowed to live again——

Zechariah's eyes met those dark eyes calmly. He was shorter than Drake, and his grace and temperament were always gentle and generous. None of these could compare with the battle-hardened sea monsters. , but at this moment, he did not lose any momentum in terms of momentum.

"What are you doing?"

The curtain was suddenly lifted at this moment, and on the stage, the stiff puppet looked down at the guests in front of the auditorium, and a clear and soft voice came out of the cold and stiff throat: "Your Excellency Governor, please restrain yourself."

Drake immediately withdrew his tentacles, and Zacharias took the lead in saying, "Your Highness, please forgive my impoliteness."

Drake knows His Highness's ability—although the divine favor he described as "silk thread" is actually related to the soul, he can resist his power, and at the same time, he can perceive his behavior.

"It's okay, I understand that Sakya is worried about me." The puppet didn't move, but there was an intimate smile in that gentle voice, "This time I will trouble you too."

Zacharias was silent for a moment, then gave Derek a warning look, and then reluctantly left.

Since the appearance of the puppet, Drake has stopped visiting Cornwallis. Compared to his Highness, everyone around here is just his vassal, and he doesn't need to pay them too much attention.

And he also hates puppets on weekdays, but compared to Zechariah and his like, of course inanimate things are easier to accept...

Drake showed an extremely docile look: "Your Highness, I'm here."

Puppet replacement, the cold and hard steel object disappeared on the stage, replaced by the puppet operator, because this kind of individual replacement cannot carry a wheelchair, so Miao Xuan will choose a seat as the landing point, and then change the position and then Pull the puppet back to your side so it can act as a support for the body.

But this time, before the cooldown of the skill was completed, Miao Xuan adjusted his position, and before he even had time to land on the seat he had been looking for, he fell into the hot and hard arms of the sea monster—this person seemed very Familiar with his habit of changing positions, he rushed up to pick up people extremely quickly, and even made a sincere appearance of worrying about his fall.

Miao Xuan: "...let me sit here, thank you."

So the sea monster did so obediently. He put Miao Xuan in the chair, but his hands were habitually resting on the back of the chair and the armrests. As if he didn't know what he had done, he said straightforwardly: "Your Highness, please Believe me, I will be your eternal love...well, eternal ally."
