210 Eyes and ears of the sky
The square castle at night is very lively, and servants are busy carrying food and wine, serving the banquets being held. The moonlight in the sky is often covered by dark clouds, and will appear soon after. The hazy light sprinkles, covering a spotted gray falcon that falls on the tall oak tree like an inconspicuous owl.
But this "owl" was obviously much smarter than normal. He grabbed the tree trunk with his claws, and his big dark eye stared at the adjacent enclosed tower room without blinking, clearly observing.
The room only has one window, and the inlaid glass is not pure. Looking in through the window, you can only see two figures, one big and one small, standing face to face in front of the window. Under the light of candlelight, it seems like two human-shaped torches wrapped in yellow light.
The vision is blocked, but the sensitive and unique hearing can still allow the "owl" to hear some vague words coming from the room. They are not loud, but they are also clear.
"Of course, Miss Tara, this is our carefully prepared potion. As long as he drinks it, he will immediately fall in love with you."
There was a hint of solemnity in the calm voice, but the meaning of the words was obviously not a good thing.
"This medicine has a unique fragrance. Miss Tara, you can disguise it as a drink and give it to him. Then you must see him with your own eyes and stay in the room for a while after drinking it. You should also take a sip. In this way, after the medicine takes effect, he will see you at first sight, and then he will fall in love with you."
"Will there be any harm?"
The little girl's voice was a little hesitant.
"And it really works?"
"Of course it works."
The red-robed monk spoke in his voice: "We sell this potion to the rich ladies there all year round in the years in Essos. Miss Tara, this is our specialty. There are not a thousand or hundreds of who have eaten this medicine, so there will be no mistakes."
"Do they fall in love with each other after drinking? Have you ever had any accidents?" the little girl asked repeatedly.
"The effect is exactly the same as what I said. And it never happened unexpectedly." The other party replied patiently.
"That's it, that's good." The little girl easily believed this, but she still hesitated.
"But, what should he do if he doesn't drink?"
"You can claim that this is the wine you brewed by yourself, and if you want that adult to help you taste it, as a well-educated nobleman, he will not refuse you. Or you can..."
The red-robed monk in the house provided some tricks, and was heard by the "owl" outside the house. Finally, it tilted its head and felt a thought coming from the bottom of its heart. So it suddenly flapped its wings and quickly left.
It seemed that he heard the sound. The red-robed monk in the room suddenly looked out the window, but the difference in light inside and outside made him unable to see anything abnormal, so he didn't care, but spoke and finally gave a reminder.
"Remember, Miss Tara, you must see him drink it with your own eyes and then wait for a while, otherwise it will be in vain."
"I remember!"
...
In the banquet hall on the other side, Lan Li was still talking to Lan Dao and Talley beside him with a distorted face, including some issues about their Knights, including this mission, and some issues with aristocratic relations.
"One of the cousin of Count Luowan was killed by the bandit, so he hired us to help come to Jiaoling to hunt down the murderer."
"Why didn't he send someone himself? I'm afraid I will stop him?"
"Count Luowan believes that Lord Tali will not cooperate with this matter because of his old revenge."
"Old revenge? Then Matus really put a gift on his face. He was just afraid that I would pursue a bad debt from their family. You have to know, Lord Renli, I once had a small piece of land near Jinshu City..."
Judging from his appearance alone, Lan Dao Talli is a stereotyped and serious person with his facial features as strong as a stone carving, and a smile rarely appears on his face. When he talks to him, Lan Li found that this temper was indeed as smelly and hard as the rumors were, and he spoke honestly and didn't know how to cover it up.
However, in a sense, such people are easier to deal with, and compared to those hypocritical guys with different feelings, Renli prefers to communicate with such people.
For Count Tali, the person in front of him was just a young knight with a noble status at first. He might have certain abilities, but he didn't take it too seriously. He just thought that it would be best to ask him to help train his incompetent son. If he couldn't help, he would have delicious food and drinks, and then don't let him have accidents here.
But the more you went, the more you felt that how could you feel so comfortable when you communicate with this young man?
He did not feel any hypocritical attitude, nor did he hide anything from the other party. He was calm but humorous. Many words could be spoken to his heart.
This was a special enjoyment. At first, he could take care of the young knights of several other knights at the banquet, but later he completely ignored those boring people. Even the countess next to him secretly stabbed him several times without receiving a response. In the end, he could only ask the knights from home to come forward to talk so that the scene would not be too embarrassing.
Earl Tali thought he had met a "confidant", so he had a so happy chat, but obviously he would not have imagined that Lan Li, who had some kind of spiritual talent, was actually very capable in diplomacy, but under normal circumstances he was too lazy to use it.
As for why he uses it now, it is naturally because he wants to inquire about some information.
For example, some situations about the red-robed monk, and some recent updates from Jiaoling.
The monks of red robe were hostile to themselves. Lan Li first guessed whether they really had any means of investigation and recognized him as the "door". So Lan Li sent a falcon that he had trained for many years to find out the news-
Relying on the moment of spiritual communication, he has trained several such ears and ears in the sky over the years, and he will bring one or two of them every time he goes out, but he just won't call them down normally.
Then as he observed, Lan Li found that the truth was not the case.
Although the hostility of those monks with red robe is somewhat inexplicable, it is obviously not the kind that they were when facing the "big villain", but it seems that they had already planned it—
But if they had planned to recognize themselves as the "door" behind the door, why didn't they ambush halfway, but instead had to wait for themselves to arrive at this Jiaoling?
They didn't really recognize what they were.
Lanley confirmed this.
But why are you hostile to yourself and even plan to use the little girl to plot against yourself?
He had some speculations on this, but he was not sure about it, so he was ready to strike back.
And his method of counterattack is very simple-
"Sir Talley, after the banquet, I hope to invite you to see a good show."
