Chapter 782 Assassination
The banquet went on slowly and as Mike finished his performance, some nobles who had good relations with the Earl's Palace began to present their gifts according to the banquet procedure.
Those who are qualified to be on the list in such an occasion cannot possibly send bad gifts.
Then Wang Yi made the interesting discovery that most of the things given away were actually related to magic, and they were all magic gadgets.
This also shows how popular magic items are among the nobles.
Because they were all things for little girls, most of them were shiny, and Barbara seemed very happy to receive the gifts.
"Thank you all for your precious gifts. Every guest present today has brought gifts that represent their own creativity. However, due to the banquet time, we will not display them one by one now. During this period of time, everyone should have been baptized by a complete elf-style music score. Today, the author of this music score has also come to the scene and is ready to dedicate a song to our Miss Barbara..."
Soon, it was finally Wang Yi's turn to appear.
What made him feel a little amused was that those people who he had marked as assassins and who seemed to have nothing to do with each other looked at each other tacitly at this moment.
Are you trying to take action while I'm playing?
This is really...
"Is this some unfortunate factor brought about by the rejection of the world's will..."
While playing the organ, Wang Yi shook his head in his heart.
And the naughty child Barbara seemed to still remember that Wang Yi had stared at her mother before. She glared at him with wide eyes, as if she wanted to turn her head away and not listen.
However, as the beautiful melody appeared, when Wang Yi sang a completely different elf-style tune, it immediately attracted the little girl's attention.
The other people around were also amazed. They thought it was still the same song "The Savages Come Out of the Mountains" but this time it was the original version, but they didn't expect it to be a new song.
This time, because there is no need to consider the issue of communication, the rhythm and singing skills required are much higher, but it is also obviously more pleasant to the ear.
"Say goodbye to all your troubles..."
While playing casually, Wang Yi also observed the reactions of the assassins with great interest.
Although they were in different positions and different small circles, they all started to move at the same time while sharing music, as if they wanted to get closer.
As they moved and their eyes occasionally wandered, Wang Yi also realized that their main target did not seem to be Count Luke.
This made Wang Yi feel somewhat interesting, just like watching a puppet show.
There are willing to die in this world, but those who don't care about their own lives are extremely rare and quite precious.
In fact, if there is someone who is willing to die for loyalty, then placing him in some key positions is much more important than using him as cannon fodder to die.
Even if their abilities are limited, as long as they are loyal enough, they can actually be a good form of deterrence and supervision.
Since it was not a sneak attack on Count Luke, even if they showed up and succeeded in assassinating the target it would be in vain and they would certainly suffer the wrath of Count Luke.
Even though they are both skilled high-level assassins, they are no match for Luke, who has almost reached the pinnacle of the Grand Knight, in a head-on confrontation.
This means that there is a high probability that there are other coordination and back-up plans to ensure that they can escape unscathed...
While singing the blessing song, Wang Yi focused on the Sent Wizard and the Countess.
If there is any chance of delaying Luke for a short period of time and ensuring a successful escape, it is only these two wizards.
Both wizards had focused their attention on Count Luke many times before, but this was actually normal.
But now, I'm singing such a beautiful song, and the Countess is nodding along with the beat, and you, Cent, are still touching the ring from time to time. Aren't you looking down on yourself too much ?
Is it because the song I sang is not good?
As Wang Yi's rhythm came to an end, he suddenly made a temporary adjustment to create a rather abrupt but stunning ending.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but after they came to their senses, they gave a warm round of applause.
“Another new song.”
“The previous one was pretty good!”
"Master."
“…”
The nobles like to pretend to be cultured. When Wang Yi showed enough musical ability and talent, the nobles' eyes became a little different.
Mike can sing well , but he is not a musical master himself!
Usually they just serve as tools.
But now there are two elf songs in a row, and the second one is obviously cheerful and birthday-celebrating. We can imagine how popular this song will be in the future.
The nobles all like to compare with each other. If there is no such song at other people’s birthday parties in the future, it would probably be a bit embarrassing!
This dinner, as the first time the song appeared in public, might become a topic of conversation in the future, making both Count Luke and Miss Barbara proud.
The little girl, who was originally somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Yi, now excitedly clapped her hands continuously. Children's moods always change quickly.
"What beautiful music! It's actually a new elven -style song. Master Yi's musical talent is truly astonishing. Master Yi has sent such wonderful blessings to our beautiful little princess. Our little birthday girl should also give Master Yi a small gift in return to express her gratitude..."
Pusen continued with the process. Barbara, who was a little resistant at first, happily picked a small flower and ran over with her short legs.
Wang Yi also squatted down with a smile and let her put the flowers on his head.
At this moment, the assassins who had already completed their predetermined positions by constantly moving also moved.
Bang, bang, bang~
First, some balls leaking out of the trouser legs exploded almost at the same time, emitting thick, pungent black smoke.
"poisonous!"
"There's an assassin!"
“…”
The piercing screams rose and fell one after another, and the pungent black smoke that made people cry instantly made many nobles on the scene change their faces and try to avoid it.
The scene was in chaos.
The two assassins closest to Wang Yi, one dressed as a noble lady and the other an elderly wealthy businessman, attacked him silently before the scream could be heard.
Her superb assassination skills are even better than Shalltia, who possesses the racial talents of a catwoman.
The action was silent, and even the murderous intent and air flow fluctuations could not be felt.
The purpose of the two was very clear, and that was Barbara, who had just put flowers in front of Wang Yi.
As soon as one of them exploded, he raised his hand and threw out a dagger with a green blade.
The target is directly aimed at Wang Yi.
It was obvious that they wanted to kill him first because he was in the way, and then capture Barbara alive.
No matter how you look at it, a living hostage always has a better effect...
