The moon is dark and the wind is high.
Thick dark clouds overlapped the mountains, the night fell low, the color of the sky was so dim that it was almost leaden, and the bone-chilling wind suppressed the thorny roses on both sides of the mountain road.
Between the leaden night and the pale blue mountains, an abandoned outpost can be faintly seen.
Rosen subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand. He slowly adjusted his breathing and observed the surrounding scenery;
He turned back to look at Alice who was following behind, and saw that this proud noble lady's delicate face was also a little pale, and her cat-like eyes were staring nervously at the road ahead.
They were cautious, nervous even.
The reason is the adult I am about to meet.
[Painful confidant]
The reputation of a painful confidant was vaguely spread even in Seidian Town.
There are rumors that he is the 'Chosen One of Pain', and he was watched by the Mother Goddess when he was born.
Some people say that he is the 'Snake Killer'. According to legend, on the mountain behind the esoteric sect, there was a painful snake blocking the road and wreaking havoc. The believers suffered terribly and the situation was not good.
But the painful confidant killed the snake and rose from the dead. From then on, the life of the believer was in full swing. He was supported by everyone and was destined to be his destiny.
But whether these rumors are true or not, they all reveal a message,
This painful confidant has terrible methods.
It is reasonable for such a second-in-command under one person to have a rebellious heart.
Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of esoteric believers who have taken refuge in the Holy Religion.
Although Rosen occasionally had contact with that adult these days, most of them just accepted his letters unilaterally.
Rosen was also skeptical at first.
However, after Rosen's examination of the information revealed by his confidants, he found that every word was true.
Including the composition of the cadre school, the changing time of the guards, the distribution of the magic eyes, and the rough map of the stronghold - everything is recorded.
That's why we had this meeting today.
They said it was a meeting, but in fact they were trying to win over their bitter confidant.
In any case, this progress is already quite gratifying.
As long as they establish a relationship with the second-in-command of the secret sect and ask him to serve as an internal agent, it will be easy to break into the stronghold - by then, their achievements will be greater than that of Ansumenstad.
The night became darker and darker, and the gray moonlight gave everything around it a dim color.
After being tested by several personal guards one after another,
Rosen first put down the sword tied to his waist, and Alice also took off the staff in her hand. After confirming that there was no eavesdropping magic device on her body, she was allowed to pass.
Rosen observed the expressions of the guards, and felt even more horrified by the pain in his heart.
But I saw that these soldiers had pale yellow faces, and there seemed to be deep darkness and desire hidden in their pupils (they couldn't hold it back any longer). Their torsos were slightly bent, and all the muscles in their bodies were tense. It was a hunting-like posture (bent over). It’s better to hold it back), deep in their souls, there is a certain kind of fanaticism burning (Long live Boss Ansu).
It's really terrifying for that adult to be able to train the painful Tantric cultists who are disobedient to discipline like this.
"Go in." The guard said slowly.
Rosen and Alice entered the wooden house and went up to the second floor. The dim candlelight dragged their shadows into long strips, swaying in the wind.
The moonlight gradually dimmed, but the stars in the sky became brighter and brighter.
Turning the night into something new, perhaps it was unevenly painted on the night canvas, and the stars fell down, dripping on the green plain, and shrouded this narrow wooden house.
They finally met the painful confidant.
The adult turned his back to them at this moment, bathing in the starlight.
Very cool.
When faced with an aggressive target, one must fight back with the same aggressiveness.
This is something that border bumpkins can’t learn.
Alice coughed lightly. At this moment, she showed off her perfect social skills. She first gently lifted the hem of her skirt, slightly bent her knees, and gracefully performed an aristocratic etiquette.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty."
Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was as clear as the cry of a lark, neither flattering nor unfamiliar.
"You can call me Alice Sean. This is Order Knight Rosen. We are honored to cooperate with you."
The pain henchman ignored Alice's greetings. He was still looking at the starry sky, half of his face was shrouded in darkness.
Only teammates in the same team can check each other's identities.
It was obvious that the appearance had changed, and neither Rosen nor Alice could recognize Anzu.
In the long silence,
The two waited patiently.
Finally, Ansu said slowly, "Actually, I have always been the most loyal believer of the Goddess of Glory." Are you farting
Rosen and Alice secretly thought.
But if the other party talks like this, they can't violate the other party's face; and since he is willing to say such a scene, it means that this negotiation is very promising.
"May the goddess always shine on your path." Rosen said sacredly and solemnly, "The Holy See is really lucky to have a devout believer like you."
"If you can do some trivial things for the Holy Religion," Alice continued elegantly, "that would be the best."
"What does the goddess want?" Ansu said softly.
"If you can disable the stronghold's defense system at 11:30 tomorrow night," Rosen raised his eyes and looked directly at Ansu, "that would be the best contribution to the goddess."
Ansu didn't reply.
Rosen knew what Ansu wanted. He took out a silver amulet from his waist, with a faint glow flowing in it.
"This is a high-level magic tool created by the Holy See of Order and the Holy See of Alchemy, called 'Forgiveness of the Law'"
Rosen was also a little bit hurt. After all, this thing is indeed a treasure, but he couldn't bear to let the child trap the wolf.
[Forgiveness of the law]
[High-end magic tools]
[Can temporarily eliminate hatred, lasting five minutes]
As expected of a law student,
Ansu admired this young man's progressive consciousness.
"It seems that the goddess is very sincere."
"I heard that there is a guy named Ansu over there." He said with a clean smile, "What do you think of him?"
Rosen's heart condensed, and Alice's heart also trembled.
Obviously, the pained henchman said this to knock them down.
Ansu has assassinated too many secret cultists in the past month, and he must have some henchmen who are suffering from them.
This rude border man has angered this gentleman.
"Ansu is despicable and shameless."
Alice started cutting in an instant. Her expression of disgust wasn't even staged, "just a vulgar person from the frontier."
"As a knight of order, what I hate the most is chaotic elements." Rosen also replied, "Ansu is obviously a born chaotic person."
"But he is also from your Holy See. He can be regarded as your companion." Ansu smiled and tilted his head.
"We never identified with him."
"Then if I ask you to capture him and hand him over to me." Ansu's smile became calmer, "I'm sure you'd be very willing?"
"Of course."
For the sake of the achievements of all the saints, and more importantly for the collective benefit, sacrificing a border person is completely in line with justice and order - the two secretly thought in their hearts.
"That's great," Ansu said.
"Sign the contract now."
Both parties took out a contract blessed by God, which was also one of the holy relics obtained.
No signature is required.
Instead, they used their own spiritual power to touch the contract, leaving traces of their own souls.
This is a very high-level contract and there is no way to break it.
Rosen's condition is that Ansu must cancel the defense formation of the secret sect and support them from there, and must not betray them.
Ansu proposed two conditions:
[1. If you learn about Ansu Morningstar, you must catch and kill him as soon as possible]
[2. Never hurt or betray your allies]
Ansu smiled and said, it was a joyful smile from the bottom of his heart. He stood up and shook hands with the two of them.
"For our great cause, let us work together sincerely. I believe in the [friendship] between us."
