"Ah, right!" Sylph popped up again around the corner.
The lizard-like older sister reached out again to see what was in the plate, only to be terrified once more.
Sylph reminded her earnestly, "Be careful not to let it get cold! It definitely won't taste good if it gets cold. Wait a little while and then bring it over quickly. Oh, and don't follow me around, or we'll be spotted. Go to the main kitchen and bring it over with the other dishes."
"Yes, yes! And I'll keep an eye out for those walking past the main kitchen!" The lizard-like older sister stood at attention, indicating that she would definitely complete the mission.
"Thank you!" Sylph said contentedly and left.
Strange, something still feels off. Sylph walked along, trying to grasp a certain feeling.
Ah, perhaps it's because Lorenwei always seems so well-behaved that my understanding of "well-behaved" has gone astray, which has led to this feeling... It must be!
Hmm, maybe it's because the maid's tone was strange. She seems to be in her thirties, but she's still using a little girl's obedient tone, so it makes me uncomfortable.
How pitiful, time is merciless. Thinking about it, Kurara hasn't had it easy either. If I could defeat her with time, I would definitely win, after all, elves live longer.
But this isn't a fair and square way to win. Even in a head-on battle, I might not lose! Even if she has a larger bust, I still have a chance! Maybe one day it will sag?
Uh…maybe I could be too? Ugh, this is so troublesome. Why would elves worry about sagging breasts? That doesn’t seem right, does it? What proper elf would be concerned about sagging breasts? Oh dear, what am I thinking? Sylph walked along, lost in thought.
On the other side, the maid carrying the tray of dishes stood there for a long time without daring to move.
What exactly happened? Have I been exposed? Why does she keep coming back to harass me? Although I've been harassed by disgusting men since entering the palace, I've never done anything particularly noteworthy.
In terms of skills, the Elf race doesn't have any "Seeing Eye" skills, so they shouldn't be able to see the human-lizard hybrid heritage in me, right?
Sylph stunned the lizard-like older sister, leaving her standing there lost in thought for a long time.
Only after the lizard lady obediently went to the main kitchen, and no other unexpected events occurred, and she could see from afar that the female elf had indeed gone to the noblewoman's palace, did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
I was overthinking it.
"Hey, Xixi? What are you doing standing here?" a kitchen maid asked curiously.
"Ah, this is a meal specially prepared by Lady Sylph for our esteemed guest, Miss Lorenve. I'll take it over right away," the lizard-like older sister quickly explained.
"The food for VIPs needs to be specially inspected. You need to go that way."
"Ok."
Having passed the tests of the magician and the food inspectors, the lizard lady smiled.
Hmph, no poison, right? But who knows what will happen if Lorenwei eats it later. Next comes the most potent poison, one that will render someone unconscious—a poison you won't even notice at the banquet.
The lizard-like woman licked her lips, very confident in her special saliva poison.
She is an extremely rare combination, and possesses the rare talent of producing saliva that can cause unconsciousness, and is about to apply poison to food as planned.
She walked at the back of the line and, taking advantage of a turn when no one was looking, lifted the lid of the plate.
Inside was just scrambled eggs? Such a simple dish? The lizard-like woman was stunned for a moment. But time was of the essence. She quickly stuck out her tongue, swiftly flicking out her hidden forked tongue like an anteater, sweeping it across the scrambled eggs, smearing saliva on them, then... on, on, on, on, on...
Bang————
Thump————————
"Huh? Xixi?"
"Wow! Xixi fainted!"
The maids panicked. The guards rushed over as well.
"She's having convulsions!"
"What's wrong with Xixi? Why is she having convulsions?"
"Oh dear! Her skin has become so rough!"
"Is it an allergy? It looks like a lizard?"
The food delivery line was in complete chaos.
What... what exactly did I come into contact with?! The lizard lady, who was almost on her deathbed, felt dizzy and disoriented. Not only did her whole body tremble uncontrollably, but even the power of her lizard hybrid bloodline was activated.
Oh my god, am I going to end up as a hybrid of a lizard and a human? No way!
She cried out in her heart, but her body was convulsing and she couldn't control it at all.
With only a breath left to hold on, she had many questions in her mind: Was my tongue really touching scrambled eggs?
If the scrambled eggs were poisonous, how could they pass through the magic hair and food testing checkpoints? The only possible explanation is that they had already discovered my identity and then used this food to lure me into a trap, capturing me effortlessly!
Damn it! Is that Lorenwei really that powerful?! Her magical pet elf actually has such abilities?!
Even my lizardman hybrid's poison resistance couldn't withstand it; what exactly was the food poisoning that caused me to collapse instantly?!
Her poor body could no longer support her deep thinking, and she soon fainted.
Lorenwei is preparing lunch.
Caught between Sylph and Kurara, Lorenvi noticed something was amiss. Looking at the restless Sylph, she asked, "What's wrong? Are your hemorrhoids acting up?"
Sylph is someone who can't hide her feelings; the way she's sitting here so unsteadily, something must be wrong.
"Hehe, I won't tell you." Silph kept glancing outside, hoping that lunch would be delivered.
In the past, the food I ordered would arrive quickly, but today it was noticeably slower.
Soon, a guard reported: "The tongue-throating lizard poisoned by Lady Sylph has been captured—a master kept by the Fate Empire!"
Not to mention Lorenwei and the others, even Sylph was stunned for a long time before she could react.
Chapter 215 Lady Sylph is amazing! The tongue-out lizard is no match for her!
What exactly happened on this sunny midday?
While gossiping, the maids said with great certainty, "It was Miss Lorenve's magical pet, Lady Sylph, who captured the formidable Tongue-Spouting Lizard with her unparalleled wisdom and even more wondrous potions!"
"Yes, yes, it's said that the code name 'Tongue-Out Lizard' comes from the fact that the saliva on this lizard woman's tongue is an incredibly potent poison that can knock people unconscious. Moreover, it's colorless, odorless, and undetectable. Its power is considered top-tier among experts!"
"Oh dear, an undetectable potion? This is extremely dangerous! She even disguised herself as a maid, and yet she wasn't recognized?"
"She displayed the mixed features of a lizardman, and the old archmage recognized her immediately. She was experienced and knowledgeable, and could deduce this from the tongue-like appendages in her mouth."
"But is this lizardman really a master of potions? How could she be bewitched? She was actually convulsing all over at the time."
"They say he's a top-notch pharmacist! But when faced with Lady Sylph's potions, he's convulsing and groaning!"
"What kind of medicine is it?"
"Anyway, the apothecary master was captivated by Lady Siruf, supposedly by a plate of scrambled eggs."
"Scrambled eggs? Just scrambled eggs?"
"Yes, scrambled eggs. I wonder what kind of potion Lady Sylph used on this dish, that it even managed to take down the lizard hybrid with high poison resistance, the alchemist Tongue-Out Lizard!"
"Do you think it could also be saliva?"
"Oh dear, you can't say for sure."
"If Miss Lorenwei were to kiss her, would she be captivated...?"
"Well, I probably don't know the answer to what you're talking about, but that doesn't stop me from imagining it..."
"By the way, Lady Sylph is a green-haired female elf, isn't that the hair color of ordinary elves?"
"You don't understand, do you? They must have done something to hide it; that's called being low-key! You understand?"
Meanwhile, inside the council chamber.
The king and queen dismissed the ordinary guards and personally took charge of the matter, with Lorenve leading Sylph and others to participate urgently.
The old court mage has confirmed the lizard woman's identity. The tongue-wagging lizard is still unconscious, but that doesn't stop the Kingdom of Percy from imprisoning her.
The Kingdom of Posi is, after all, a force to be reckoned with, and the Tongue-Spitting Lizard is no secretive creature; it was inevitable that its identity would be exposed and discovered.
The king did not look well.
Although it wasn't assassins they sent, this at least shows that the Fate Empire has begun to deploy its direct forces!
"Please don't be shy, everyone. Please sit around the round table." The Queen very gently arranged for a large round table to be set up.
Sylph was somewhat flattered. Melanie, on the other hand, didn't mind and simply sat down.
"Don't be shy, have a seat." Lorenwei pulled Sylph down to sit.
This resulted in Lorenvie being accompanied by Sylph and Kurara. The Queen observed all of this and secretly thought to herself that arranging the round table was indeed the right thing to do.
Lorenvi viewed Siluf and the other women as completely equal, without any distinction of rank or social status. If she were to label Siluf and Melanie as either magical pets or commoners, she would offend them.
"Vivi, tell me your thoughts," the Queen asked Lorenvi.
The king looked at Lorenwei with a very serious expression.
“Tongue-out Lizard is this woman’s code name. She usually appears as a human, so she was able to sneak in, right?” Lorenwei confirmed first.
“That’s right. According to the records, she infiltrated the group two years ago. Her human appearance is her true human form.”
The Queen exclaimed, "I wonder what kind of poison Miss Sylph used to bewitch her! Is it some kind of secret elven drug? It seems to have even passed our court's tests. This is extraordinary!"
Knowing the Queen was actually worried, Lorenwei quickly said, "This medicine is very difficult to prepare successfully, and it might never be made again. The formula requires a pair of grasshoppers that have been married for seven years without having children, and the saliva of a premature dragon spirit in its sleep..."
He described it in the most complicated way possible, leaving the king and queen bewildered.
Sylph wanted to cover her face. She had already realized that it was her cooking that had made the spy fall asleep.
However, she could still tell that Lorenwei's words were clearly meant to save face, and she felt a little warm inside.
The conversation about the potion was brief, and to avoid embarrassing Siruf, Lorenvi quickly changed the subject: "I think the fact that the Fate Empire sent the Tongue-Spouting Lizards this time is a powerful demonstration of the success of our united forces!"
Lorenvie originally wanted to talk about the positive results of the marriage, but with Sylph standing by, she didn't want to court death.
Kurala did notice the problem with Lorenwei's altered words, but she didn't dwell on it at the moment.
The king, disregarding her wording, immediately pressed, "Weiwei, is that how you came to that conclusion?"
This was a matter of national importance, so the old king was naturally very concerned.
"If they want to take immediate action against the Kingdom of Percy, do you think they are adequately prepared?"
The king clenched his fist: "Not enough! At least nominally, we haven't found any incriminating evidence yet. We have to thank Vivi for that; you prevented them from creating the pretext for the assassination of the Second Prince!"
Lorenvi nodded: "I think so too. Besides, it's summer now, and the Fite Empire hasn't had a good harvest in the past few years, so its reserves aren't that plentiful. If we take action now, it will affect the care of the farmland during the summer. Conquering the Kingdom of Posi can't be done by just sending a few hundred thousand soldiers; we'll need at least two to three times that number of servants, which will cause problems for their food harvest."
The King and Queen were taken aback for a moment. The Queen said, "This is the first time I've heard of such a reason. I didn't expect you to think of such details, Vivi."
