Edson walked slowly in Fort Atendino.
It's not that he hasn't been to Altantino. In his memory, Altantino has always been bustling and lively. It was a few days in the cold winter, and there was a constant flow of people here.
And now, decades have passed.
Atendino is even more lively.
only…
But there are no familiar people.
He looked at the hotels in the civilian area on the side of the road.
In his memory, this is a tavern opened by a partner, and many people were willing to come here at that time.
He was a guy who liked to laugh a lot. He was young at the time, but he was very capable. Even if he drank too much, he would strip off and go for a run.
Then he...
He must have died in that battle.
That guy will laugh till he dies.
Because, that guy said, dying with a smile is far better than dying with a cry.
A very free-spirited guy.
He is incomparable.
His heart is now filled with hatred.
He wished he could rush to the 'prison' and kill those bastards.
However, he couldn't just go there.
That would scare the snake away!
He still needs to wait a little longer.
Only in this way, more prey will appear.
…
Sitting at home in the third ring road, Lun Karl is holding a book.
However, the field of view without focal length is enough to show that he is just pretending.
"Why is there still no movement?"
"Has there been an accident?"
"impossible!"
"My plan is flawless!"
The uneasiness in his heart caused Karl to shake his head quickly. This time is different from the past, he does not allow failure!
Lun Karl suppressed the bad feeling.
However, the feeling of getting more and more irritable made him unable to pretend at all.
Snapped!
After throwing the book on the table, he was ready to go out.
But as soon as the door was opened, a pain spread from the heart.
boom!
After a rise and fall of the chest cavity, it exploded directly.
Karl just fell to the ground.
His heart was blown out.
The minced meat mixed with some yellow fat particles sprayed on the door of the room.
There was a dead silence in the room.
After about ten minutes, Lun Karl got up again.
His face darkened.
Without cleaning up the scene, he just turned around and walked towards the basement.
The entrance to the basement is in the kitchen, and he pushed open the cabinet as a cover, rushed in quickly, and threw himself at the corpse that had been prepared in advance.
After biting and chewing for a while, Lunkar returned to normal.
The blood-stained clothes were torn off.
Brand new clothes were taken out from the side cabinet.
In this cabinet, there are not only brand-new clothes and boots, but also wigs, fake beards, three anonymous Kimpton money orders in the amount of about 1,000 and scattered coins, as well as a brand-new arquebus, bullets and daggers.
Carl put on a wig and beard.
Then, after a moment of hesitation, he stuffed three 1000 bearer Kimpton money orders in his inner pocket, money would be useful at any time.
Then, after putting the change into the outer pocket, he picked up the weapons he had prepared in advance. For the strong, these weapons may be useless, but they can definitely solve unnecessary troubles.
There is no doubt that his plan failed.
The puppet was killed, or something.
But it is an indisputable fact that he was discovered.
So…
What's next
Lun Karl, who had just imagined success just now, really didn't want to think about it, but he had to force himself to think about it, which made his temples swell.
First, get out of here.
It's not safe here anymore.
Second, contact Senator Coripo.
Finally, think of a reason enough to convince the other party... No, this time is different from the past.
He has no reason to convince the other party.
He is difficult to deal with in detail. When he learns the truth, he will definitely kill him.
Otherwise, after torturing him, kill him.
Now that things have reached the worst step.
Well, why not...
"hiss!"
Lunkar, who was furious in his heart, suddenly felt a needle-like pain coming from the depths of his brain, and he gasped suddenly.
He knew that this was the backlash from his secret technique.
The secret technique of manipulating others is not a child's trick, but something truly dangerous.
Suppressing the pain, Lunkar turned around and walked towards the cabinet.
In the secret compartment of the cabinet, he took out the hidden potion.
In order to deal with possible dangers, Lunkar has been preparing here for a long time.
Unfortunately, it can only be used once.
With a sigh, Lunkar drank the potion in the test tube in one gulp, which relieved the pain in his brain, and walked directly to the secret passage.
This is a secret passage leading to the next block.
The end of the secret road is in a private house.
This is the foothold of a foreign businessman when he came to Eitantinople. There is no problem. The secret passage of Lunkar was dug out without the other party's knowledge.
Pushing open the modified secret door, Lunkar got out from under the bed in the servant's room.
Then, throwing open the window, he jumped into the yard, bypassing the servants in the front yard, and out into the street.
The whole process is silent and unobtrusive.
Carl glanced around and walked straight towards the civilian area after noticing anything unusual.
He will never go to prison.
He has great confidence that there will be an ambush there.
He knew all too well about the demon hunter's methods.
Therefore, he must return to 'Quiet Night Town'!
There he had a chance to breathe.
However, for possible monitors, he kept using anti-reconnaissance skills, leaving a little 'mark' of himself from time to time.
This is not confusion.
This is attraction.
Only in this way, those possible monitors will keep a close eye on him.
Then…
Find 'Quiet Night'!
The moment he was found in 'Quiet Night Town', he was safe.
Because, he believed that those monitors would definitely be attracted by 'Quiet Night Town'.
Of course, time must be grasped later.
Not early.
It was too early for him to run.
It can't be too late.
It's too late, it's useless, and his plan will fall through again.
Lunkar, who was walking on the street, felt the cold wind of Hokuriku. The pain in his brain recovered and disappeared under the medicine. He couldn't help but take a long breath to speed up the recovery process.
At this time, he began to think more.
"no!"
"Such a plan is too crude."
"It's full of loopholes, and... my side is too weak. It can even be said that there is no guarantee at all! I need some guarantee! At least someone who can keep me safe now!"
Karl shook his head.
However, he did not veto his previous plan, he just hoped that this plan would be safer,
So, he thought of someone: 'Undead' Carlisle Huo!
The other party is a very good candidate.
Not only the strength of the other party, but also the congressman behind the other party will definitely be very happy to see such a plan like mine.
Of course, the rhetoric has to be better.
Thinking of this, Karl turned around.
He returned from the civilian area to the business district of the third ring road, and headed towards a businessman's residence.
The houses spread out one by one.
Each house is a three-story independent building with a garden, but no fountains, sculptures and the like.
Compared with the dilapidatedness of the common people, this place looks very luxurious.
But compared with the history of the nobles, this place is a little superficial and not big enough.
This is the address left by the 'undead' Carlisle.
In a last resort, you can contact the other party.
When Karl knocked on the door, he saw the frowning 'undead' Karelho.
"I've said it before, don't come to me until you have to!"
Holleika looked at the 'instigator' in front of her with an indescribably cold tone.
But in the bottom of my heart, I was very surprised.
Why did the other party come to him
According to his guess, at this time, the opponent who failed in the assassination should go to Councilor Collipo to cry and beg for mercy.
As for mentor failure
Holleika never thought of it.
Not to mention being an 'instigator'.
It's impossible even for those 'members' to make a move.
His mentor was no ordinary person.
Could it be...
Quickly, Holleika thought of something, and he was taken aback by his own idea, because this idea was really crazy, but only this explanation could explain why the other party came.
Suppress the surprise in my heart.
Holleika remained indifferent.
"Now is really the time of last resort."
"My previous mission failed."
"Can you let me in?"
"I don't want my words to be heard by some people."
"Though I think I've shaken them off, and I don't want you to be startled by what I'm going to say next."
A realistic wry smile appeared on Lunkar's face.
"You, damn it!"
Holleika snorted coldly, but gave way to the door.
Seeing Holleika get out of the way, Lunkar walked in immediately, and at the moment he passed by, there was a hint of complacency in his wry smile, he knew his collaborator too well.
Although the ability is magical, but extremely cautious.
Will not take risks, and will not seek greater benefits.
More often than not, just follow orders.
To deal with such a person, intimidating with danger is really appropriate.
The pride was fleeting, and when Holleika came to him, Lunkar turned around and said, "I found the Snake Pie hidden among us!"
Um? !
I was found out? !
Subconsciously, Holleika squinted, and the killing intent began to emerge.
But immediately, he withdrew his killing intent.
If he had been found, it would not have been an 'instigator'.
At least, there should be a member of parliament.
So the other party is cheating him
really…
It was a bit reckless to use the 'fog' to contact the instructor hastily before.
However, I can make it up!
Holleika thought to himself.
And Carl, who was immersed in his own performance, didn't notice anything strange about Holleika at all.
He was still talking there.
"That's right!"
"Because of this Snake Pie, my mission failed!"
"Fortunately, I left some means to let me know the identity of that Snake Sect!"
With that said, Carl looked at Holleika.
He was waiting for Holleika's questioning.
However, to Lunkar's disappointment, this 'undead' remained calm.
At least, on the surface, it is indeed calm.
Damn it!
Greedy life and fear of death to such an extent
Worried about knowing too much and getting in trouble
Don't even want to take the slightest risk
Karl cursed in his heart, but on the surface he asked, "Aren't you curious about his identity?"
"You should go to Milne!"
"Or Senator Collipe!"
"They'll be interested."
Holleika said in a calm voice, and his right hand hidden behind him was already clenched.
Get ready for a thunderous blow.
"No!"
"I can't see Senator Collipo."
"because… "
"He is a member of the Snake Sect lurking in the 'Secret Order of Quiet Night'!"
Carl shook his head and said loudly.
"What?"
Holleika could no longer maintain his composure, even the palms of his clenched fists behind him trembled.
"Surprised?"
"Believe me, when I heard the news, I was far more surprised than you imagined."
"I never thought that there would be people from the Snake Sect in the 'Secret Order of Quiet Night'."
"However, if you think about it, aren't you surprised by the organization's performance in recent years, or even in the past ten years?"
"Obviously occupying an absolute advantage, but always inexplicably failing."
"I was a little skeptical before, so I will be very careful every time I act."
"And this time, I finally caught that 'lurker'!"
Looking at the astonished Holleika, Lun Karl felt more and more complacent. He was admiring his wit, and his speaking speed became faster and faster. At the end of the day, Lun Karl completely believed everything he said .
There are lurkers in the 'Secret of the Night'!
This lurker is Congressman Cory Poe!
At this time, Holleika had completely calmed down. He looked at Lunkar who was getting more and more excited as he talked, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.
What made Karl mistakenly attribute his 'credit' to Collipo
Holleika was deeply puzzled by this.
But very happy.
He is happy to have someone take the blame for him.
What is better than this
Naturally, the one who is responsible is a person with sufficient strength and influence.
Holleika can fully imagine what will happen next if things go well.
One of the seventeen councilors turned out to be a witcher from the Snake faction!
There will definitely be a major earthquake in the 'Secret of the Night'.
Thinking of this, Holleika spoke without hesitation.
"Let's go see Senator Gelsak."
Holleika said so.
"No!"
"can not go!"
"because… "
"We don't know if Congressman Gelsak is a snake faction!"
Carl said seriously.
Holleika was stunned. He stared blankly at Lun Karl. If he wasn't a Snake Demon Hunter and confirmed that he didn't have any companions, looking at Lun Karl like this, he might be suspicious.
"Then what shall we do?"
Holleika asked in a deep voice.
Then, he was ready to look for an opportunity to use the power of the 'fog' again to pass this news to his mentor.
At this time, Lunkar stood up straight, stared at Holleika, and said word by word.
"Ring the Bell of Quiet Night!"
"Call to stop everyone!"
"Start the 'Member Meeting'!"
