The night wind blows through Holleika's thick long hair.
Compared with the time-consuming of the convoy, Holleika, who traveled alone, was almost twice as fast, and he returned to Atendino one day earlier.
Did not go through the city gate.
Instead, they sneaked in from a hidden secret passage under the city wall on one side.
This secret passage does not lead directly to Fort Eitantino, but goes down the stairs.
Naturally, the secret paths belonging to the 'Secret Order of Silent Night' must be heavily guarded.
when Holleika just came down the steps
"who?"
A low shout sounded from the shadows.
Holleika didn't speak, and threw a token over.
After a while, the token was handed out respectfully.
"Please go slowly, Your Excellency 'Undead'."
The guard said respectfully.
In the 'Secret Order of Quiet Night', apart from the high-level councilors, the name of 'Undead' Carlislejo is absolutely resounding, even surpassing the councilors to some extent.
After all, those 17 councilors are so high up that it is difficult for people at the bottom to get in touch with them. Instead, they have more contact with field personnel such as Holleika and Lunkar.
Facing such respectful voices, Holleika maintained his previous posture.
The high cheekbones are full of arrogance, but there is a hint of brilliance hidden in the narrow eyes.
He has not forgotten his identity as a 'snake faction'.
If it wasn't for the mentor's repeated instructions, he would have wished to burn this place down and avenge those dead demon hunters.
The wolf faction is in the Ming Dynasty.
Snake faction is in the dark.
For safety, the two sides rarely communicate, but this does not mean indifference.
According to Holleika's knowledge, the Snake faction has secretly helped the Wolf faction countless times, and the former leader of the Wolf faction has also given corresponding support to the Snake faction countless times.
Unfortunately…
After that catastrophe, with the death of the leader of the wolf faction, the relationship between the two parties was suddenly broken.
Of course, that's not all.
'There are evil people hidden in the wolf faction! '
Thinking of the teacher's words, Holleika's heart tightened.
Obviously, the 'Secret Order of the Night' is doing the same thing as the Snake School.
And his task this time is to find the possible 'darkness'.
This is not a simple matter.
Especially under the premise that he must ensure his own safety.
However, Holleika did not flinch in any way.
"Snake, hide in the mist."
"Snakes, lines and shadows."
"I am a professional in lurking and probing, so let's compare who is more professional now!"
Holleika said silently in his heart.
Then, he strode forward.
This is a corridor, and after passing the corridor, there are stairs that continue downward.
This was repeated several times, and when it reached a depth of hundreds of meters underground, a town appeared.
Well-planned houses.
Taverns, stables, and blacksmith shops are all available.
'Quiet Night'!
This is the largest stronghold of the 'Secret Order of Silent Night' that Holleika knows, and the members of the 'Secret Order of Silent Night' and their families live here.
Not the peripheral kind.
Those people don't know this place at all.
The people who can appear here are all people who have been tested and recognized, and belong to the backbone of the lower levels of the 'Silent Night Secret Order'.
Of course, Holleika doesn't live here.
He has a better and more suitable place.
Came here just to 'deliver tasks'.
The person in charge here is the supervisor of the field personnel. There are rumors that the other party will compete for the next 'senator'.
Holleika didn't believe this rumor at all.
Because, he knew what the so-called "members" of the "Secret Order of Silent Night" represented, which was the existence of transcending the limits of human beings and stepping towards the existence of gods.
Obviously, this is nothing more than a smoke bomb released by the other party to better manage the town.
Holleika didn't mean to say anything.
Everyone who saw Holleika bowed and saluted.
Holleika walked into the other party's office with a look of indifference.
This is a thin middle-aged man. The robe woven with gold thread is worn on the opponent's body, as if hanging on a bamboo pole. When the opponent stands up, it becomes wobbly.
"Welcome back, Carlylejo."
"How about Sika City?"
"Have you seen those long worms that are rumored to be hiding in the shadows?"
"Aren't they all so pitiful and helpless like the dogs we hunted?"
The other party's tone was enthusiastic, and when he mentioned the Snake Pie, he just showed his disdain.
"seen."
"Very strong."
Holleika said coldly.
This is not because of the other party's anger at ridiculing the snake faction and the wolf faction, but because Holleika usually treats other members of the "Secret Order of Quiet Night" with such an attitude.
"Don't be so cold."
"Are we acquaintances?"
"What about the Church of the 'Mist'?"
"What did you find out?"
The other party asked with a smile, not at all angry because of Holleika's attitude.
"Milne, we don't know each other well."
"'Mist' is already a demigod!"
"He has a lot to do with the Snake Sect."
After Holleika emphasized a sentence, he said truthfully.
This information cannot be withheld.
Even if he doesn't say anything, if someone else investigates, he will soon be able to find out some tricks. Instead of doing this, it's better to say it openly, so as to avoid unnecessary complications.
As for the strength of the 'Silent Night Secret Order', Holleika knew about it.
"is that so?"
"Okay, I know."
"This is your bounty for this mission. If you need any special services, I can help you."
Milne nodded, and then handed a bag of Kimptons to Holleika.
"unnecessary."
Holleika picked up the Kimpton and left.
Looking at the back of the other party, Milne restrained his smile all of a sudden.
"snort!"
"It's really a guy who doesn't know what's good."
"Sooner or later, you will regret it."
Milne gritted his teeth and muttered fiercely to himself. Then, he showed a playful expression again and walked towards the back of the office.
Here, there are two falcons.
Milne picked up the secret letter he had written just now, tied it to the leg of one of the falcons, and released the falcon's restraint directly. Immediately, the falcon got into the flight channel and disappeared.
Not that there isn't a faster way.
Just, not safe!
If you use the secret technique of communication in Eitantinople, there is a great possibility that it will be discovered by the Temple of War.
And he couldn't hide everything.
Therefore, the communication Falcon has become a must.
Then, he tied another secret letter to the remaining falcon's leg, and let it fly.
Of course, two falcons don't go to the same place.
Naturally, it is impossible for the person who received the secret letter to be the same.
After the Falcon's voice disappeared in the listening channel, Milne quickly returned to his studio. He sat in the chair again, trying to hide it with a playful expression on his face.
But that excitement couldn't be concealed.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"I must catch it!"
Milne thought in this way in his heart.
…
Lunkar, dressed in a comfortable robe, sat in a chair.
In front of him was a small round coffee table with a porcelain teapot and teacups as white as milk placed on it.
This was shipped from the East, and it is very valuable, and it is also one of Lunkar's favorite tea sets.
Similarly, tea is also an expensive item equivalent to gold.
At this moment, they have been cut by a silver tea knife and are being placed on the porcelain plate in an orderly manner. The small dark green tea bricks and the milky white porcelain plate form a charming picture.
This was specially learned by Lunkar in order to entertain the upcoming big man.
Just like the porcelain tea set, most of the time, he would not take it out, since he took it out to entertain guests, he must make it perfect.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
When the knock on the door sounded, Karl almost ran to the door and opened it.
"Good evening, Senator Collipo."
Lunkar respectfully addressed the person in front of him who was wearing a cloak and covered all his features with a big hood.
The other party nodded slightly, and after entering the room, he took off his hood and smiled.
With this smile, the old face became more and more gully.
However, a pair of bright eyes made the other party look not that old.
"Good evening, Karl."
"Is this tea from Yoshiki?"
"I really can't wait to try it out."
Collipo looked at the tea set and tea leaves on the table, looking impatient.
"please wait."
Carl wanted to flatter the congressman and show his humbleness, but he still remembered the tea master's teachings and tried his best to keep neither humble nor humble.
However, the waist is not straight at all.
He could only shrink his shoulders to make himself look upright, like an ostrich.
However, the posture of handling the tea set is very standard.
This is also what Karl has learned hard.
'Since you can't cover up your shortcomings, use your strengths to attract attention! '
He kept in mind the words of the tea master.
Everything from boiling water to making tea is meticulous.
When the hot water was poured down into the teacup, and the fragrance of the tea permeated, Milne held the teacup in both hands, half-bent, and handed the teacup to Collipo.
"please."
According to the tea master, this sound should be clear.
But when it came to Lun Karl, there was only clear flattery left.
After taking the teacup, Ke Lipo, who didn't dislike the tea soup at all, narrowed his eyes after drinking it all in one gulp, as if relishing the aroma of the tea. After a few seconds, he smiled and said, "Not bad."
Hearing this compliment, Karl finally felt relieved.
Obviously, the investigation of the 'undead' should be similar to what he said.
There may be some differences, but what is that
Obviously, his 'instigator' is not as clear as the investigation of the 'undead'.
If they were all the same, how could the 'undead' become the trump card among field personnel
"Your Excellency, would you like another drink?"
"It is rumored that Ji Shu's tea is more fragrant as it goes to the back."
Carl said.
"Haven't you drank?"
Collip put the teacup over and asked.
"of course not."
"You must know that Jishu's tea is really rare, and it is basically priceless in Eitantinople."
"Most people who want to drink Jishu tea have to book from Cheka Bay in the south, and it takes at least five months for a ship to go to and from the east, which is too long."
"Thanks to you, I was able to drink it."
Talking about the difficulty of getting the tea leaves, Lunkar showed a slightly exaggerated happy smile on his face.
In fact, Lun Karl wished to exaggerate the difficulty of the former ten times.
Because the harder it is, the more humble he will appear, and the nobler the other party will appear.
However, Lunkar, who knew who the other party was, didn't dare to act recklessly.
Karl understands the truth that too much is too much.
If there is another deception
Then he really can only wait to die.
Councilor Collipo was obviously satisfied with Carl's honesty, which was not exaggerated, and nodded in satisfaction.
After he drank the tea in the cup again, he spoke.
"Carlylejo is back."
Although he already knew the result, Lunkar sat up straight and listened attentively.
"He confirmed the existence of the 'Snake Pie'."
"The relationship between 'Snake School' and 'Mist' has also been confirmed."
"but… "
"Not much more."
Collip paused, and looked at Lunkar.
Lunkar understood, he knew exactly what the Colepoe MP wanted to do.
There is no doubt about the power of the 'Secret Order of Quiet Night'.
Especially after the 'Black Calamity', this strength has almost reached a peak.
Extremes must be reversed!
When the peak appears, there will inevitably be a short downhill road. The seventeen congressmen who fought together seem to have some problems because of the 'black disaster'.
Carl didn't know what the wheel was.
However, he knew that the Colipo MP in front of him and another MP 'Gelsack' were tit for tat.
Coincidentally, the 'undead' can be regarded as the direct field service of Councilor Gelsak, just like he is to Kiripo.
And their status was no longer within the control of Milne, a so-called field supervisor.
Similarly, their status is also closely related to the MPs they are loyal to.
So, Karl took a deep breath.
"With the ability of the 'undead', the investigation must be much more detailed than mine."
"At this point, it's hard for me to outdo each other."
"However, we also have our advantages."
"Do you remember our captives in the prison?"
Carl bent over to ask, leaned in front of Councilor Collipo, and said in a low voice.
When Carl mentioned those captives, Councilor Collipo immediately guessed what this subordinate was going to do, and immediately showed a smile.
"Do what you want."
"I don't want Gelsak to show off at the next council meeting, understand?"
Senator Colepoe said.
"clear."
Lun Karl answered firmly.
"very good."
Councilor Collipo stood up, patted Lun Karl on the shoulder, and with the latter's flattered expression, slowly left the house in the middle and second ring road.
The door was slowly closed, out of respect, Karl stood in front of the window, watching the congressman leave.
It wasn't until the other party hid in the shadows that he picked up his coat, put on his cloak, and walked quickly towards an extremely secret place.
This is the same way as the prison.
It was handpicked by Karl.
Walking along the shadows, Lunkar didn't reveal any flaws, but when he passed the rear window of a house, he knocked lightly three times, one long and two short.
Then, Carl continued on his way as if nothing happened.
But only ten seconds later, a person appeared in the shadows ahead.
Looking at the figure in front of him, Lunkar showed a smile, and he greeted softly
"Good evening, 'Undead'."
