Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 375 Secret Meeting
Dawn Castle.

As the night deepened, every nobleman attending the dinner sent their last blessings to King Jarvan IV, and the banquet came to an end.

Most of the drunken people were helped out of the Resplendent Hall by their own servants, and Jarvan IV was responsible for sending the guests back. This was also a good opportunity to exercise his interpersonal skills.

Only a few members of the Hardshield Council and loyal supporters of the Lightshield royal family are still chatting with the king.

"Speaking of which, in my impression, His Royal Highness was still a little kid, but in the blink of an eye, he is even taller and stronger than me."

"Isn't that right? With Director Zhao's personal guidance, His Royal Highness even mastered the long-lost Dragon Spear technique!"

"This time, the gang of barbaric Noxians who killed them returned home!"

"What you said, it's obviously the group's destruction. Isn't that general who is called all arrested?"

"Hahaha...you're right, it's my problem."

"Speaking of which, the Dragon Pulling Spear was made by Oren, the founding king of Demacia. He once defeated the frost giant cold vortex and its descendants."

"Just like our honorary Admiral Bobby, she also uses the weapon of the former king Oren!"

Poppy's name catches the attention of a drunken Jarvan III.

He hiccupped, and turned his gaze to the nobleman who mentioned Bobby, "Yes, yes, where has Bobby been recently? Why didn't she...even attend my son's celebration party?"

"It seems to be going to the border town of Irwindale to find her unrivaled hero, Your Majesty." Eldred, whose face was flushed with wine and also slightly drunk, reminded him in a low voice beside him with a smile on his face.

"Oh yes, I remembered... Bobby, she has always followed the teachings of King Oren..." Jarvan III shook his head and sighed, "When will she realize that the so-called hero of Oren is actually herself .”

Tiana, who hadn't had a drink all night, saw that Jarvan III couldn't hold the glass that had bottomed out, and hurried forward to catch it before it fell to the ground.

"Tiana... Come on, pour me another glass of wine!"

"Your Majesty, you are drunk."

A little helplessness appeared on Tiana's face, and she gestured to Xin Zhao, the only one in the whole banquet wearing armor and holding a spear, who was also not even a dropper.

"Director Zhao, it's time to send His Majesty back to his room to rest."

Xin Zhao nodded, put the three-clawed spear point to his side behind the back of his right hand, and supported him with another servant of the king.

"Well... I'm a little confused, it's time to go back and rest, everyone should leave."

Jiawen III waved his hands to the other nobles, then seemed to think of something, looked around and asked, "By the way, Li Lin...is he back?"

Nobles, you look at me, I look at you, with different expressions on their faces.

Tiana raised her eyebrows slightly, squinted her eyes to observe the expressions on their faces calmly, and then saw the smirk on her husband Eldred's face, and a feeling of discomfort suddenly emerged in her heart.

It's still so fake, it's disgusting...

Just as she was thinking, Eldred took a step forward, "Li Lin and the little girl Zoe next to him have not returned, Your Majesty."

He paused, "Oh yes, and our winged protector Morgana left without saying hello."

Eldred's tone faltered and sounded harsh.

The bright hall, which was still laughing and laughing, suddenly fell into silence.

In particular, several members of the Council of Hard Shield looked at each other face to face, and combined with Eldred's identity, he heard the hidden meaning in his words.

Magic is dangerous and uncontrollable, and there is no exception for these people.

Jarvan III frowned, "Eldred..."

"Your Majesty, I think His Excellency Eldred is drunk." Wallis, the minister in charge of the nobility, stood up and explained, and then quickly gave him a wink.

"Haha...Drunk nonsense, forgive me for being rude, Your Majesty." Eldred laughed, "Oh, I've been so busy these days, I can't tell the difference between official and private matters."

"I can give you some time off if you want."

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty, but I still feel that I should fulfill my duties, all for the sake of Demacia."

Jiawen III's deep eyes flashed the same light, "I hope you are as you said."

The atmosphere at the scene was destroyed, and the others didn't bother to stay for too long.

After saying goodbye to each other with a smile, they all left Dawn Castle and boarded their own carriages that had been waiting outside for a long time.

In front of the carriage of the Crown Guard's family, Eldred and his entourage had just boarded the carriage, and were about to call the driver to drive away, when Tiana rushed over and stopped the driver.

"Master Tiana, do you want to leave together?"

"No, I have something to say to Eldred."

"I'm just avoiding..."

"unnecessary."

Tiana glanced at the coachman without any emotion in his eyes, which made him shiver, and quickly lowered his head and staggered his gaze, maintaining a humble posture.

"Oh, isn't this my love?" Eldred opened the door on the side of the carriage, "Honey, what do you want from me?"

"Do not……"

Tiana's face changed slightly, and she was just about to say something, but when she saw Eldred's expression and her right index finger raised up and swaying left and right, she still clenched her fist and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

She took two deep breaths to calm down her excitement, then looked directly into the eyes of the man in front of her, and said indifferently, "I'm here, just to bring you a word."

"Is it His Majesty's secret decree? Is there another task of exorcism secretly assigned to me?"

His voice was not low, the entourage in the carriage and the driver in front of the carriage couldn't help lowering their heads, and at the same time couldn't help complaining secretly to the flying wing protector.

Is this something they can really hear?
"Don't play tricks with me, Eldred, you should be very clear about what I want to say."

Eldred raised his eyebrows high and low, and smiled very gentlemanly, "I would like to hear more about it."

Tiana took a deep breath again because of her pretentious demeanor, and finally turned into a cold snort: "Hmph, today you have stepped in and disrespected His Majesty twice. I don't want you to drag the Crown Guard family into trouble."

He froze for a moment, and then the smile on his face became brighter, "Oh, my dear wife, you can rest assured that the Demon Seeker Association is independent of politics and military affairs. Although I have joined the Crown Guard family, what I do Because I only represent myself, not to mention...

Eldred looked Tiana up and down, "Isn't there still you, my dear, at the king's place?"

"..."

Tiana was silent for a while, with a dangerous look in her eyes, but Eldred didn't take it seriously.

"Are you going home with me?"

"Humph."

With a final cold snort, Tiana turned around and left, and walked back to the palace.

Seeing that she didn't want to take care of him, Eldred didn't react too much. He just sat back in his seat, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he changed into a stern look, not at all drunk.

"My lord, where are we going next?" came the driver's voice, "Go straight back?"

Eldred was silent for a moment, looking at the silver crescent moon outside the car window, "The old place."

……

……

In the silent night, on a remote and dark path, a carriage drove slowly and gently.

"Just stop here, you wait here, I will be back later."

Eldred, who was dressed in a black robe, got off from the carriage that was obviously not from the Crown Guard family, and handed a round bronze badge with three raised rims to the coachman.

"If there are patrolling guards to interrogate, follow what I taught you before, don't say a word, just show this badge."

The coachman who also changed his clothes nodded, "I understand, I understand..."

And the servant who was supposed to accompany him disappeared.

Eldred smiled at him, reached out and patted his arm, then took a money bag from his waist and threw it in his arms, "I like you very much."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

"Shh..." Eldred made a silent gesture to the excited coachman, "Work hard, I will definitely promote you in the future."

After speaking, he put on the hood of the black cloak and blended into the dark alley with almost no light.

The sound of tapping footsteps echoed in the dark alley.

Eldred counted his steps, then stood in a certain position, turned to the left, took two steps by the wall, and reached out his hand to knock rhythmically on the wooden window a few times.

After a while, with a "squeak" sound of the door hinge turning sourly, a dim yellow candlelight not far away dispelled the darkness of the alley.

Eldred moved quickly, walked over quickly, and stepped down the steep stone stairs.

This is a not-so-spacious underground house, the things in the house are messy, and there is a faint smell of damp and decay.

The one who opened the door for Eldred was an old man with gray hair and stooped figure.

He was dressed in old and shabby clothes, and he was on crutches. His hands were as dry as dead bark, and there were ravines and age spots.

There is no shortage of people with poor living conditions.

Although such old people are rare, there are still some individual cases in Demacia, whose overall life and technological level are only in the middle ages.

Also, it would be a good camouflage...

"No one is following you?"

The old man's voice was just like his appearance, like a candle in the wind, and it was hoarse like a lump of phlegm stuck in his throat.

"No." Eldred responded indifferently, "Have they all come?"

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The old man bent down and straightened his arms under the oil-stained wooden table, then touched a bump on a marble wall, and pressed hard.

With the sound of iron chains "crashing", a wall of this small underground room opened like a gate, revealing the narrow and claustrophobic passage behind.

Without hesitation, Eldred strode in directly.

After a long journey, the vision in front of him suddenly opened up.

At the same time, a familiar voice of a middle-aged woman with a bit of coldness came into his ears: "You are late, Eldred."
