The "Grilled Fish Hotel" in the dim night was as old and deserted as ever, and it seemed that nothing had changed, but Fernando did not dare to approach it. After leaving a mark at the agreed location, he turned into a nearby poor area and hid in a tree with dense foliage. On the big tree, quietly looking down at the dilapidated houses below.
When the silver moon reached its peak, a figure stepped on the clear light all over the ground and quickly approached the dilapidated house.
After carefully checking that no one was following him, Fernando floated down from the tree and said in a low voice, "Old man, you're not dead yet!"
"I'm still alive even if you die!" This figure seemed to be Old Green.
According to President Arnold's order, he continued to stay at the "Grilled Fish Hotel" and was responsible for contacting "Dark Blue Bounty" Sharp, but he no longer participated in the transfer of liaison with the magicians of the union.
Fernando snorted and turned to the topic: "Old man, tell Sharp that we have decided to take over the mission and assassinate Alfonso, hoping that he can provide all the information about Alfonso."
"What? You really decided to assassinate Alfonso? Did you infect the president with madness?" Old Green was very surprised. In his opinion, this kind of thing was completely irritating the church, and there was no possibility of success at all. Easy to hitch up the whole union!
Fernando glanced at Old Green mockingly: "Cowards cannot understand the meaning of adventure."
"It seems to be a little sure." Old Green, who lived almost two hundred years old, had extraordinary vision and insight, and he noticed the change of the problem just from Fernando's ridicule.
"Cowards are really sensitive." Fernando does not have the noble character of respecting the old and loving the young at all. His mouth is his main feature, but he is also a magician who has come out of death and blood. He has experienced countless times of danger. , so don't forget to remind Old Green. "Don't let Sharpe know we're a little bit sure."
He emphasized the "somewhat", even in the face of Old Green, he didn't tell the whole truth.
Old Green sneered: "Am I such a reckless person like you? But why did you ask Sharp to provide information, aren't you afraid that he will deliberately frame you or secretly inform the church?"
"When we lure Alfonso to go out, Sharp will definitely realize that we have accepted the 'mission' and start to act. If he will inform the church, it will be fine at that time, so why not give him a little trust now, this is the basis of cooperation And it can save time in gathering information.” At first, Fernando himself was struggling with this, and decided to come because President Arnold and Douglas both said that there was no problem, but after careful thinking, he vaguely grasped it the key point. It's just not as sure as the old fox.
Perhaps the old fox has concealed other things, so he believes in the sincerity of Sharp's cooperation
Old Green nodded: "Sharp has been staying at the Grilled Fish Hotel for the past two days, as if waiting for your reply. I will pass on your words to him now."
"By the way, there are also these mathematics books and notes, which Douglas and I gave to Hathaway." Fernando handed over a dozen books with black covers to Old Green.
"Do you really want Hathaway to take the dangerous path of magic?" Because of Hathaway's father, Old Green has always disagreed with this.
Fernando smiled and said, "Hey. Can we force this kind of thing? Old man, let go of your worries. Before you die, it's time to find a lady and have a child of your own. Don't waste your extra love. On people who don't need it."
He hid his slight concern in sarcasm.
Old Green didn't say a word at first, and then he let out a long sigh: "I remember when you first arrived at the Magic Tower, you were such a cute child, full of energy, stubborn and delicate. You will cry secretly when you are taught by your teacher , when did your mouth become so stinky?"
Fernando's face flushed red when the black history was exposed, and a terrifying "storm" quickly brewed in his eyes, but before he roared, Old Green had already disappeared into the darkness. Go back to "Grilled Fish Hotel".
"Damn old guy!" In the end, Fernando could only curse in a very low voice, for fear of alarming the people nearby.
About ten minutes later, Old Green returned and said to Fernando solemnly: "Sharp promised to provide Alfonso's information, and I will hand it over to you at this time tomorrow."
"How did he react when he knew we took over the mission? What was the change in his expression and breath?" Fernando asked cautiously.
How could Old Green not pay attention to these details, no need to think about it, and replied directly: "I was a little bit surprised, and then kept a relaxed smile, um, and cursed, 'Arrogant and arrogant, a mouse who doesn't know how weak he is." , to see how you die!'"
Fernando sketched out the scene several times in his heart, but he didn't find anything unusual about Sharp, so he nodded slightly: "Tomorrow I will hide in the hotel and secretly observe the process of him giving you the information."
At this time, the more careful the better, Fernando is not an inexperienced young man.
"By the way, here is Hathaway's letter to you and Douglas. It should have been written two days ago, and Sharp has always carried it with him." Old Green took out a thick letter from his arms.
"A letter to us? What will she write?" Fernando couldn't believe that he and Douglas had established a deep friendship with Hathaway in just two short encounters, so he was rather stunned.
After checking it with magic, he unfolded it carefully, only to see that the handwriting on the letter was beautiful and beautiful, but apart from the copied math questions, there was not a single extra word!
"Hehe..." Fernando could only laugh dryly.
…
On the second day, before the sunset, Fernando sneaked into the "Grilled Fish Hotel" and hid in the kitchen behind the bar.
About an hour after dinner time, Sharp, who seemed to have a tumor on the bridge of his nose, came alone and threw a stack of crumpled papers to Old Green: "All the details I can understand are on it."
He is no stranger to assassination, and knows which materials are useful. After all, when the Church of Truth first rose, it was common for knights to cooperate with clergy to assassinate magicians.
Seeing Old Green looking at him without saying a word, he snorted heavily: "If you doubt the authenticity of the information, verify it yourself. I am just a customer, not a servant."
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand: "Where's the letter?"
"What letter?" Old Green was taken aback for a moment.
"The reply to Hathaway's letter, the possibility of their failure is very high. If there is no reply in the past few days, I am afraid they will never reply." Sharp still looks down on the strength of Fernando and others. Fernando, who was peeping in the kitchen, clenched his fists secretly.
Old Green took out a letter full of answers and solemnly handed it to Sharp: "Do you really want to assassinate Alfonso?"
He was keenly aware of Sharp's eagerness and deliberately pretending to be indifferent. This was a tacit understanding of years of cooperation, and Fernando couldn't see it at all.
"What do you think?" Sharp didn't answer directly, but asked with a relaxed smile, and then took out another letter from his arms. "This is Hathaway's doubt after studying yesterday."
Fernando could guess what type of content was inside without looking at it.
When Sharp drank a glass of spirits, ate a piece of grilled fish, and was about to leave, he suddenly smiled at the kitchen wall and winked.
"He found me..." After a while, Fernando came out of the kitchen. Looking at the dark place where Sharp's back disappeared.
Old Green laughed and said, "When we were taking risks before, he was always the best at spotting lurkers. Maybe he has some special skills. I forgot to remind you."
Fernando didn't have time to growl at him, and carefully read the information provided by Sharp.
…
"According to the information provided by Sharp and the evidence of other intelligence, it can be seen that Alfonso is a very tough person who hates magicians. He is harsh enough to be called brutal. He is good at fighting and has many cases of active pursuit. The attitude towards the nobles is very unfriendly, and it is because of the great conflict with the Violet family that the Pope sent us here..." Two days later, in the ruins at the bottom of the lake, Fernando briefly described Alphonse to President Arnold The situation of the request.
In the heavily protected secret room, apart from the two of them, there was only Douglas, and Ramon and Veronica, who did not participate, were excluded based on confidentiality.
Arnold flipped through the documents. While listening to Fernando's narration, he nodded at the end and said, "It's very valuable information. Actions should start in the next two days. Don't go out and adjust your state. Wait for my news."
"Well, I haven't found anything wrong with Sharp." Fernando has been quietly observing and following Sharp for the past two days, proud of himself for not being discovered.
In the next two days, Douglas and Fernando, like other magicians, exchanged magic and exchanged items with other people in the ruins at the bottom of the lake. The problem of concentration is to maintain the state of being able to fight immediately.
Just after the early morning of the third day, Fernando and Douglas received Arnold's order through the "wind message technique", quietly left the ruins, and entered the nearby Black Forest.
"The president is here." One step ahead of Fernando, Douglas found Arnold's trail.
As soon as the words fell, the gray-haired Arnold walked out of the darkness with a serious expression, no longer the usual smile: "Alfonso has left London with at least seven high-ranking cardinals and paladins. Tate, did not seek the cooperation of the nobles."
Douglas nodded first, then his expression changed slightly: "Who is this?"
Only then did he realize that there was a man covered in a black cloak in the shadow beside Arnold, surrounded by a faint black mist, lifeless, with two red lights coming out from under the hood, holding a long The sickle, I didn't sense his existence before!
Fernando was even more surprised, until Douglas reminded him that he didn't discover this mysterious man full of lifeless spirit!
"My necromantic servant, equivalent to a ninth-level extraordinary creature, is the best at hiding. To be honest, I rarely used it before, and almost no one in the guild knew about it, but this operation is very important. I can only use the hole card first. Take it out and try to kill Alfonso with one blow..." Arnold lost his seriousness and introduced with a smile, and at the same time told Glass how to cooperate with himself and the undead servant to attack.
Douglas and Fernando nodded in relief, expressing their deep approval for the chairman's dedication.
"Then let's go, Shavel County in the north." Arnold looked to the north.
