Two Cities: I Am Building a Mecha in Pi City

Chapter 375 Secret Meeting

Castle of Dawn.

As the night wore on, each nobleman attending the dinner sent their final blessings to Jarvan IV, and the banquet came to an end.

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

Only a few members of the Strong Shield Council and loyal supporters of the Light Shield Royal Family were still chatting with the king.

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

"Isn't that right? With the personal guidance of General Manager Zhao, His Highness has even mastered the long-lost skill of Dragon Pulling Spear!"

"This time, the group of savage Noxians we killed came back defeated!"

"What you're saying is that the group was obviously destroyed. Wasn't that general whose name was also captured?"

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

"Speaking of which, the Dragon Spear was made by Oren, the founding king of Demacia. He once defeated the frost dragon Cold Vortex and his heirs."

"Just like our honorary admiral Poppy, she also uses the weapons of the late king Oren!"

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

He burped and turned his gaze to the noble who mentioned Poppy, "Yes, by the way, where has Poppy been... recently? How come she didn't even... even attend my son's celebration banquet?"

"It seems that she is heading to the border village of Owendale to find her unparalleled hero, Your Majesty." Eldred, whose face turned red and was also slightly drunk, reminded him in a low voice with a smile on his face.

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

Tiana, who had not drank at all all night, saw that Jarvan III could not hold the wine glass that had reached the bottom of his hand, and hurriedly stepped 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 glanced at Xin Zhao, the only person in the entire banquet who was wearing a helmet and holding a spear, and who was also not drunk.

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

Xin Zhao nodded, placing the tip of the three-clawed spear at his side behind his right hand, and then supported him with another servant of the king.

"Well... I'm a little confused. It's time to go back and rest. Let's all disperse."

Jarvan III waved his hand 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 and I look at you, with different expressions on their faces.

Tiana raised her eyebrows slightly, squinting calmly to observe the expressions on their faces, and then caught a glimpse of the fake smile on her husband Eldred's face, and a feeling of discomfort suddenly emerged in her heart.

Still so fake and disgusting...

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

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

Eldred's tone faltered and sounded a bit harsh.

The dazzling hall, which was originally filled with laughter and laughter, suddenly fell into silence.

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

Magic is dangerous and uncontrollable, and these people cannot be exempted from it.

Jarvan III frowned, "Eldred..."

"Your Majesty, I think Lord Eldred is drunk." Wallis, the minister in charge of the nobles, stood up and explained, and then gave him a quick wink.

"Haha... I'm drunk and talking nonsense. I'm sorry for being rude to Your Majesty." Eldred laughed, "Oh, I've been so busy these days. I can't distinguish between official business and private matters."

"If you want, I can give you some time off."

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

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

The atmosphere of the scene was ruined, and no one else had the intention to stay for too long.

After everyone said goodbye with a smile, they all left Dawn Castle and boarded their own carriage that had been waiting for a long time outside.

In front of the Crownguard's carriage, Eldred and his entourage had just boarded the carriage and were about to call the coachman to drive away. Tiana rushed over and stopped the coachman.

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

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

"I will avoid..."

"unnecessary."

Tiana glanced at the coachman, her eyes devoid of any emotion, which made him shudder. She quickly lowered her head and looked away, maintaining a humble posture.

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

"No……"

Tiana's face changed slightly, and she was about to say something, but when she saw Eldred's expression and the raised right index finger that was shaking from side to side, she still clenched her fist and swallowed 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 came here just to bring you a message."

"Is this a secret order from His Majesty the King? Is there another exorcism task that you want to secretly assign to me?"

His voice was so loud that the entourage in the carriage and the driver in front of the carriage couldn't help but lower their heads. At the same time, they couldn't help but secretly complain to the flying winged protector.

Is this stuff really something they can listen to?

"Don't play tricks on me, Eldred, you should know what I want to say."

Eldred raised his eyebrows and smiled very gentlemanly, "I would like to hear the details."

Tiana took another deep breath because of her pretentious demeanor, and finally turned into a cold snort: "Humph, today you have overstepped your authority and disrespected His Majesty twice. I don't want you to drag the Crownguard family into trouble."

He was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face became even brighter, "Oh, my dear wife, you can rest assured. The Demon Searchers Association is independent of politics and military. Although I have joined the Crownguard family, what I do I only represent myself, not to mention...

Eldred looked Tiana up and down and said, "Aren't you still there, my dear, with the king?"

"..."

Tiana was silent for a while, with danger flashing in her eyes, but Eldred didn't take it seriously at all.

"Do you want to go home with me?"

"snort."

With the last cold snort, Tiana turned around and left, heading towards the palace again.

Seeing that she was unwilling to take care of herself, Eldred didn't react much. He just sat back in his seat. The smile on his face disappeared instantly and turned into a stern look, without any hint of drunkenness.

"Sir, where are we going next?" came the coachman's voice, "Shall we go back directly?"

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

In the quiet night, on a remote and dark road, a carriage drove slowly and gently.

"Just stop here, you guys wait here, I'll be back later."

Eldred, who had changed into a black robe, stepped out of the carriage that was obviously not from the Crownguard family, and handed a round bronze badge with three raised outer rings to the carriage driver.

"If a patrolling guard comes to question you, do as 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 into his arms, "I like you very much."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

"Shh..." Eldred made a silent gesture to the excited coachman, "Do a good job, and I will definitely promote you in the future."

After saying that, 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 carefully, then stood at a certain position, turned to the left, took two steps toward the wall, and reached out to knock on the wooden window rhythmically a few times.

After a while, with a "squeaking" sound and a grinding sound of the door hinge turning, a dim 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 an underground house that is not very spacious. The things in the house are in a mess, and there is a faint smell of dampness and decay.

The person who opened the door for Eldred was an old man with gray hair and a stooped body.

His clothes were old and shabby, and he was leaning on a cane. His violent hands were as dry as dead tree bark, with ravines and age spots crisscrossing them.

Xiongdu has no shortage of people with poor living conditions.

Although such old men are rare, there are still some isolated cases in Demacia, whose overall living and technological standards are only those of the Middle Ages.

At the same time, this will also be a good disguise...

"No one is following you, right?"

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

"No." Eldred responded indifferently, "Are they all here?"

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

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

With a clatter of iron chains, a wall of this small underground room opened like a door, revealing the narrow and claustrophobic passage behind it.

Eldred didn't hesitate and strode in directly.

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

At the same time, a familiar yet slightly cold middle-aged female voice penetrated into his ears: "You're late, Eldred."
