Chapter 378 Shadow Attack
The time they stayed in the nightmare was not short.
Annan and Maria left soon - they were going to prepare for the banquet tonight. Although Cafney had nothing to do for the time being, after Annan left, she had no need to stay any longer.
In addition to Noah's royal family and the cardinal, this banquet will also invite Noah's local nobles.
But the banquet itself meant nothing.
No political issues will be discussed at this banquet, and it is impossible to introduce any nobles to Annan—because Noah has no new king at all, and the heir does not have the right to introduce "his own faction" to Grand Duke Annan.
This banquet is not even a dance—because as long as who has a better relationship with Annan and who can dance with Annan, it may affect the current tense political situation.
Those low-level nobles who are not well-informed are just fine.
The high-ranking nobles and the royal family also knew in their hearts...how close the relationship between Kafni and Annan would be. As the host of the banquet, it is certainly impossible for the eldest princess to use this banquet to strengthen Cafney's authority.
——Although Annan and Kafni directly confirm their relationship in public, it is not conducive to Kafni’s maintenance of authority; but if the relationship is more ambiguous, it is just "very good relationship, love at first sight" level, it will be more harmful Good for Cafney.
This is the wonder of the "distance" between people.
In order not to break the balance, the eldest princess could only place Annan in the position of an "elder". The specifications of the banquet they held were like holding a banquet for a certain saint or the pope of the righteous god.
Participants are divided into two levels, one is the "royal family" and "cardinal" and above clergy who can sit next to Annan. And all the nobles, ministers, and bishops must wait around.
They were sitting at least thirty steps away from Annan, and there were even palace guards in the middle to stop them. Moreover, isolation rituals must be arranged to prevent assassins from mixing in.
——Just like the audience on the stage.
Staying in the same house as Annan at a distance... This is considered to be a party.
And in such a public place, it is impossible to discuss any important matters.
For example, one of the main tasks of Annan's visit this time...reconstruction of waterways and restoration of transnational trade agreements.
This kind of thing obviously cannot be discussed on this occasion.
The so-called partition has ears.
Those who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, those who want to cause trouble, help, and gain an advantage because of their own reasons—if such important information is leaked before it is finalized, the situation may be in danger. Instantly became a mess.
In the same way, at this semi-public banquet, it is impossible for anyone to release any valuable information.
——The purpose of holding this banquet is just to "prove that the relationship between the two countries is friendly now".
Naturally, no one will make trouble.
Because the Pope of Sir Silver will also come this time——
The last time Annan saw the Pope of Sir Silver was at the funeral of Henry VIII. They looked at each other from afar and nodded slightly. Because the occasion is more serious,
Didn't even go over to say hello.
Strictly speaking, this is the first time they have met.
Annan was also a little curious.
And Salvatore's identity is more embarrassing at this time.
As an extraordinary person who is destined to step into the golden rank, he is even the master of the tower in his country, and the holder of the extremely rare ancient profession of "alchemist", his status is not at the same level as that of ordinary wizards.
But from another perspective.
After all, Hugo Tower Master has not resigned, he is still the son of the tower after all, and is the "heir of the tower master".
The identity of the tower master is about half a level higher than that of the royal heir—lower than the king and pope, but higher than the eldest princess. And the son of the tower is lower than the cardinal...or even the general district bishop.
After all, Son of the Tower is a dynamic title. It belongs to the "Most Promising Person of Our Time" in the Wizard Tower, but it may be replaced by someone more promising at any time.
Therefore, from this point of view, he is not even as reliable as the heir of the general nobles - because it may be suddenly replaced before he succeeds to the throne.
With Salvatore's current status, it is impossible for him to show that he has a friendly relationship with Cafney, let alone express a close relationship with Grand Duke Annan in front of nobles and bishops.
As an individual, at most he can only watch from the outermost corner of the banquet—even if there are too many people, he can only stand at most.
Then there is no point.
Therefore, Salvatore did not plan to attend this banquet...or rather, he was planning to use this time to do something.
When Salvatore entered the nightmare before, his thinking was chaotic for a while.
Of course he himself would not remember such a thing—but his shadow kept awake. This is what she told Salvatore.
And after he wakes up from his room as "Bella".
He saw a gray-haired and gray-eyed man sitting in front of his bed, crossing his fingers in front of him, crossing his legs and looking at him.
—Salvatore recognized it immediately.
That is the notorious wanted man, [Professor Wolf] Frederick Wolfheart.
"Do you remember what I told you before?"
Professor Wolf said to Bella: "Now, the time has come.
"Remember your mission - use Dmitry's trust and love for you in exchange for the stability of the Duchy of Winter."
——Are you teaching me how to do things?
Salvatore just wanted to reply so unceremoniously.
Before he could speak, he was immediately held down by the shadow.
The shadow took control of his body in the blink of an eye, and showed a hypocritical cowardly look to this man who could be known to be a liar at a glance, saying something like "OK", "Yes", "My lord", "Thank you "Something that made Salvatore couldn't help frowning.
But Salvatore also knew that this was role-playing.
So Salvatore suppressed the discomfort and quietly watched the shadow perform.
At this time, the introduction of this nightmare also appeared in his mind.
After roughly figuring out what Bella had agreed with Professor Wolf... When the shadow fooled Professor Wolf away, Salvatore left the agreement behind.
——He still remembered that the main reason he entered the nightmare was to help Annan deal with the rotting man.
Although I don't know if the tragedy writer and the rotten have cooperated, but at least Professor Wolf and the rotten are in the same group. advantageous.
That is to say, the rotting man and Professor Wolf seem to have reached an agreement outside of this nightmare.
This is supposed to circumvent rituals and rules. To prevent Bella from being unable to participate in the gambling ceremony because of her relationship with the rotting man... The Magic Tower of Thousand Faces does have such rules.
But at this time, Salvatore had an idea that had nothing to do with this nightmare.
