Chapter 218 Both Parties Attacked at the Same Time
The breakfast style at Nield Mine is a mixture of humans' preference for rich taste and the halflings' demand for rich ingredients.
A plate of golden and crispy fried potatoes, a portion of pan-fried chicken breast that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, plus a large salad that was so large that you couldn't even tell the main part, made Alvin's eyes light up as he ate.
If this kind of breakfast happened on Blue Star, Alvin would definitely complain about it.
But compared to the druid settlement where there is a big pot of stew in the morning, this is heaven.
Fearing that there would be follow-up attacks last night, Alvin stayed by Xiling's side all night.
What surprised Lian was that this pervert did not secretly lift her sister's hood while she was sleeping.
Of course, little Lian thought that this was all because she, Leia and the others were still there, otherwise her sister would be in danger.
Xiling, who had slept soundly all night, was attracted by the smell of breakfast.
Although the half-elf lady's taste is more towards elves, Xiling was already starving after a whole night.
When I walked to the dining table, I saw Alvin's pair of rather conspicuous panda eyes.
Xiling, who learned the whole story from her sister, did not say anything extra, but she felt that today's mixed vegetable was particularly sweet.
……
"grown ups……"
Shuman got up early today and was enjoying his breakfast in his study - a carefully cooked quail, paired with cheese and smoked bacon shipped from the South.
While he was cutting his food slowly, he gestured to the dark shadow beside the desk to continue talking.
“My lord, the assassination team following Sir River has gone astray.
Although most of the investigation team sent to Nield were killed, a female priest escaped.
Because of this, one of the Faceless Men died.
Before the message was sent, Revo was leading the remaining assassins to Valam's camp around Nield."
Putting a piece of quail leg meat with the bones removed into his mouth, Xiuman carefully savored the flavor on his tongue.
"How is the progress of the assassination team that set out last night?"
"Sir, yesterday's team has arrived at Nield and will find an opportunity to take action..."
After swallowing the piece of leg meat, Xiuman picked up a cup of black tea with lemon and used this sour drink to relax his tongue.
“Regardless of whether this operation is successful or not, do not send more personnel.
Go down, the Faceless One does not need to participate in the next operation."
"Yes, my lord."
The dark shadow beside the desk gradually faded like a real shadow and disappeared without a trace.
dong dong.
There was a sudden soft knock on the door.
"Lord Xiuman, a knight from the capital has handed you a letter."
The voice of the old butler Ide sounded outside.
Xiuman Huiyao's eyes narrowed. This was something he had expected.
However, the timing was wrong, or rather, the letter arrived a little too early.
"come in."
He was no longer in the mood to continue his breakfast, so he wiped his mouth with a silk scarf and shouted to the door.
……
At the appointed time, Annie, wearing a clean maid outfit, went to the place agreed with Liz Valam with several representatives of Nield.
As the "mysterious" one, Alvin naturally followed in the middle of the team and was having his daily fun with Lian.
His task today was to give the other party some deterrence during the negotiations.
What was surprising was that Xiling did not follow the team.
It seemed that Leia, the old bootlicker, wanted to say something to Xiling, so he simply stayed in the town.
The group of people came to an open space not far from the suspension ladder.
In the center of the open space, there was already an even larger group of humans waiting there.
Lizzie's horned helmet was now back on her head, and she and her men were fully armed.
Unlike the obedience and fear they showed yesterday, this group of soldiers today seemed a little unusually alert.
With a few bangs, several corpses were thrown between the two sides, as well as a human who looked like an aristocrat with his hands and feet tied and his mouth gagged.
"Sir, I don't think these people were sent by you...
With your strength, you don't need such means at all."
Just like the assassins seen yesterday, the facial features of these shadows were all melted under their masks.
"It's a pity. These assassins were well-trained and committed suicide immediately after their assassination attempt failed."
Liz took two steps forward and used the whip in her hand to press against the back of the head of the aristocratic-looking human male in the field, revealing his handsome features.
"But there are still some people who don't have the courage to commit suicide."
After saying that, he kicked the noble in the face with the tip of his heavy boot.
Looking at the nobleman's somewhat enjoyable expression, Ivan felt a chill in his heart.
As expected, there are many perverts among human nobles, but the key point is that we have to admit that these perverts are quite good-looking.
The short Lian was now looking at the other person with excitement on her face, muttering softly.
"Look, look, the more handsome he is, the more perverted he is!
If this handsome nobleman with 80 points can be so abnormal, then the brother-in-law with 99 points must be...
Tsk tsk tsk, how scary! I have to remind my sister to put on her boots."
"Cough cough!"
Interrupting Lian's mumbling, Ivan walked forward and motioned for Annie to follow.
"What an impressive way to greet someone. So Ms. Liz, what's the significance of this human you're posing in front of us?"
"Ivan, that is..."
Annie's eyes widened. She was very familiar with this face.
"That's Sir River!"
"Who?"
Ivan didn't react for a moment. He didn't know this pervert who enjoyed having his face stepped on.
"Sir River, legal lord of the Nield Mines."
"Oh?"
Liz retracted her toes and glanced at the pervert on the ground with disgust.
"It seems that your maid knows something about the noble circles in Radiant City."
"This is no maid, Liz Varram."
Ivan took a step back and let Annie sit in the main seat.
"The person you are talking to is the halfling Annie Qing... Qing what is it...
Oh, Annie Lightfoot, the one who truly controls Nield."
Liz looked at the little halfling in front of her, who was not even as tall as a horse's legs, with a little disbelief, and then looked at Ivan with some amusement.
"Sir, although I have heard about the preferences of you old-school nobles...
But this is the first time I have seen someone willing to use a mining area to please his own toys.
But fortunately, you are not a pervert who licks people’s boots…”
As the daughter of a merchant family, Liz disdains the perverted preferences of the old-school aristocrats.
She got Yani's identity wrong, but the other little guy who was not as tall as the horse's legs was unhappy.
Little Lian jumped to the front, put her hands on her hips, pointed at Liz, and retorted loudly.
“Yani is not my brother-in-law’s toy!
My brother-in-law already has a sister! You can’t play with other women anymore!
and also!
My brother-in-law is a hundred times more perverted than this foot-licking guy!"
