"I'm an old man who is about to sleep in the ground, and no one will pay attention. Malek shrugged after smirking self-deprecatingly.

"They're focused on what we're doing, and the little bit of information we have now is of little value... The madmen have already started their evil sacrifices, and Andrew and Zemut are certainly not going to take this time off, and we must find out what these two bastards are up to. ”

Malek tugged at the silver thread that didn't have much on his head, "As an old police officer, you shouldn't need me to teach you how to find people." ”

"According to the information monitored by the mages, there is only one magic teleportation in Suker City within an hour, and the teleportation distance is no more than five kilometers, which means that those two damn bastards are still in Suke City. "We must arrest them in the shortest possible time, otherwise... I can't imagine what would happen if they were lurking in the city. ”

"Such a big city..."

"The two of them would not have chosen to cower in a corner for such a thing, and I'm sure that the evil sacrifices in various parts of the city right now are covering up for their next plans. As he spoke, Malek beckoned to his assistant Bello, "I must go to the church, maybe some clues have been found over there." ”

With that, Malek quickly left the makeshift command post.

...

Malek and Bello rode through the streets, striking in the light of the street lamps. However, the guard uniforms on the two of them were more eye-catching than what they were doing now, so the soldiers on patrol weren't stupid enough to stop them for questioning.

The unobstructed street allowed Malek to reach the outer street of the Glorious Church in only five or six minutes, and on his horse, Malek felt the cold breeze of the night, felt the cold and stinging sensation of them blowing on his face, and looked at the brightly lit Lion Castle behind the high wall not far away.

An hour ago,

The sudden outbreak of assassination in the hall of Eunice took Malek by surprise and caused him to feel despair again. But now that I think about it, the assassination seems to be relatively unimportant compared to Penny Reagan's prepared backhand.

The habit of handling cases all year round makes Malek subconsciously think about a question... What role did Penny Reagan play behind this assassination?

Malek had long believed that Penny Reagan was able to sit in the position of city consul, in large part because of her status as Empress of the Empire. Her identity made Malek subconsciously forget how the emperor died in that incident.

He forgot the powerful force that Penny Reagan had always held in his hands,

Rumor has it that some members of the 'Brotherhood' swore allegiance to Penny Reagan at the end of the Empire!

Although Penny Reagan, after serving as the city consul, signed the relevant documents under the authority of the elves to recognize the legal status of the remnants of the Death Swamp, Malek never believed that the 'Brotherhood' would bow down to a woman.

And reality tells him that this thing may be true!

Malek could fully imagine the transactions involved, and when he thought of certain things, he only felt a chill in his back that seeped into the depths of his soul begin to spread, and his mind subconsciously recalled everything that had happened in the hall an hour ago...

Clearly, Penny Reagan had the ability to stop the assassination at the outset, but instead of choosing to do so, she chose to sit on the sidelines... One by one, the bystanders fell under the butcher's knife of the assassin and remained indifferent!

"I survived. Malek whispered to the wind, and the words went away without reaching anyone's ears.

Malek doesn't know if Penny Reagan deliberately left him alive or something else... In short, he survived, but many parliamentarians did not have the means to survive. At that time, he was in a hurry, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that most of his allies in the council were lying in pools of blood, including Stu Garra!

He didn't think his life was more important than Stu Garra, but he survived... Because of Penny Reagan's kindness?

"Is it because you're thanking her?" said Malek again in the wind... By the time the words had dissipated, one had arrived at the brightly lit church.

As the horses neighed, Malek and his assistant Bello stopped their mounts, and the two agents on the outskirts of the church saw their commissioner coming, and immediately left to stop what they were doing and walked up.

"Any good news?" Malek flipped off his mount and walked towards the door of the church, a small group of elven magicians and nearly a hundred elven rangers were negotiating with the paladins of the church, both sides seemed very excited at the moment, and they had the posture of making a move if they couldn't say anything.

"None of the elven mages detected any problems. One of the agents rushed to reply, "Now the elves are negotiating with the rest of the church... The elves wanted to test them for evil powers, but the paladins and priests felt it was an insult to them. ”

"When did the elves become so talkative?" said Malek, who had always had the impression that elves would never be reasonable in the city.

"There are more than fifty official paladins in the church, who dares to them off?"

Hearing this, Malek couldn't help but stop walking towards the door, staring at the two sides of the negotiation over there, and whispered, "But if they really have a connection with the Undead Legion, it will be a disaster... I'm sure Paladin Commanders wouldn't be so stupid, and you have to let them know what's going on. ”

A tall agent immediately shook his head and said, "Explained, it's useless! If we don't have a warrant from the council, we may not even be able to enter the church door." ”

Malek raised his eyebrows, and after all kinds of thoughts went through his mind, he ordered: "Go and ask the garrison for help, and ask them to send five squadrons of crossbowmen." ”

"Understood!"

Malek didn't look at the departing assistant, he walked towards the elves and paladins who were facing each other next to him.

...

Inside the Divine Radiance Theater,

The timing of the assassination of the council did not affect the performance of the plays in the theater at all.

After the fall of the Empire, the nobility of the old empire loved to go to the Grand Theater every night to watch the repertoire of the imperial period and remember the glory of the empire.

At the same time, after the dissolution of the aristocracy, all the wealthy merchants and middle class from the outer city also poured into the area. After the New Year, the three halls of the theater are full every night, and tickets have been pre-purchased until three months later!

In order to resolve the conflict between the citizens of the old imperial aristocratic city, the city government is also happy to see such a thing happening, and the government will occasionally even publish a list of people's favorite plays in the grand theater on the city bulletin board, so that they can better buy tickets.

At eight o'clock in the evening,

It was the most crowded time for the Grand Theatre, and unlike the serious atmosphere of the church next door, it revealed a very relaxed and pleasant feeling.

Outside the theater, the wide and lively street is decorated with a variety of cold, hot drink, and clothing stores, which are luxuriously decorated, and when night falls, they complement the surrounding lights, revealing the luxurious nightlife of the upper echelons of the city.

An hour ago,

The security department wanted to temporarily close the Grand Theater and the shops on the surrounding streets, and disperse all the people loitering on the streets.

But this decision was not carried out successfully, because the people who enjoyed the nightlife in such a place were all representative figures of the city of Suk, and one or two such figures did not matter, but one or two hundred together, even Malek had to avoid them.

Faced with this situation, Malek had to step up the patrols of the guards in the vicinity and apply for a squadron of garrison soldiers to be stationed at the security posts in two places in the area.

...

On the top floor of the Grand Theatre, in a large private lounge.

The white magic lamp illuminates the room, intertwining with the white marble slabs on the floor, reflecting certain white veins on the walls and ceiling, making the person in this room feel as if they are in some kind of mythical kingdom of heaven.

Andrew and Zemut were teleported to this room after a period of space travel.

"Damn Penny Reagan, she was prepared. Zemut leaned against a couch handle, his bloody clothes tossed haphazardly on the ground, and the wounds on his chest and back that were deep enough to see his bones and internal organs were healing at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

"Say less of these useless words. Andrew felt the place where he had been stabbed in the chest, and in the wide slit he could still see a broken heart beating and repairing itself.

"Then you'd say something useful. Zemut's voice was cold.

Andrew looked down and pressed against the wound in his chest, "During the time we were repairing the wound, the fighters with whom I had a spiritual connection were constantly dropping. ”

Zemut said disapprehantly, "They existed to attract the attention of the elves and the guards. ”

Andrew nodded and shook his head, staring motionlessly at the blazing magic lamp hanging from the ceiling, "Soon, those ignorant people will know how powerless their resistance is. As he spoke, he withdrew his gaze from the magic lamp, and quickly walked over to the bookcase against the main wall and pressed a very hidden button.

"Squeak..."

The sound of metal gears rubbing against each other echoed in the room, and a crack cracked in the original wall next to the bookcase.

"This elevator leads to a secret room under the Grand Theater, which is the escape route designed by the Grand Duke of Patved when he built this building..."Andrew's tone was nostalgic, but more sarcastic, "This secret was originally known to many people, but the paladin turmoil more than two hundred years ago made many secrets sleep underground. ”

"Underneath this, we also have a large army. Andrew had a strange smile on his face, "Do you want to go down and have a look first?"

"Is it as bright down there as this room?" Zemut asked.

"What do you think?" Andrew jumped down by grabbing a rope himself.

Zemut looked down at the wound on his body, took two quick steps to the entrance of the passage, and the carved circle on his body flickered, grabbing a cable and sliding down.

"Click"

The secret door closed the moment Zemut grabbed the cable, and Zemut, who entered the lifting space, only felt that it was dark in front of him, and then there was a thick fishy smell in his nasal cavity, which made him almost vomit directly.

More than ten seconds later, the touch from Zemt's feet in the rapid descent made him understand that he had landed,

The nausea in the nasal cavity was ten times worse than the nauseous smell just now, and it was not as dark as in the passage just now, and the dancing torches around lit up a room with dozens of huge stone pillars erected.

"You..." Zemut saw a few steps away Andrew wanted to say something, but when he just opened his mouth, he felt a pain in the back of his head, and the whole person staggered forward two steps, and his arm was instantly wrapped around the cold palm.

Zemut instinctively wanted to use the magic runes drawn on his body, but he found that there was no magic element here, and when he turned his head, a pair of blue fire eyes and a disgusting face from the decay around the eyes made his gums a little sore.

"What do you want to do?" Zemut yelled at Andrew in front of him.

"Don't get excited. Andrew turned to look at Zemt, "I'm helping you... If you don't feel dizzy now, it's because the air here is poisonous, and if you continue in your current state, you'll die in half an hour. ”

The horror on Zemut's face flashed, "You..."

"Now there are two choices..."Andrew's originally empty eyes began to flow with a mixture of blue and gold, "First, wait for death slowly..."

"I'll pick the second one!" Zemut said decisively, he looked at Andrew, "You know, I don't have any family, I don't have any worries, I just want to do one thing, and that's to kill Malek, I'm going to kill him, and Penny Reagan, Nepdo Quint, Woz Pedro... I'm going to kill those nobles who are high up and have their bodies torn to shreds in front of me!"

There was madness in his tone, a beast-like expression on his face, and he said these words with a black aura that seemed to be absent.

"Wise choice, my friend. Andrew smiled, still the kind smile of the pastor. With such a smile, he pointed to the brightest center of the room in the fire, "Prove your resolve to the great goddess of death, who will give you new life and will also give you great strength!"

As Andrew spoke, he waved his hand at the two undead warriors who were controlling Zemut.

The first time Zemut resumed his action, he threw his fist at Andrew's jaw, and the "bang" fist landed on Andrew's jaw, but the other party was unharmed, but Zemut grinned in a daze, and he only felt that the punch he had just made was like hitting a steel ingot.

"You're so hard. Zemut withdrew his fist and shook his hand.

Andrew was not angry, he kept pointing to the prominent altar among the stone pillars, and the smile on his face did not fade in the slightest.

Zemut straightened up, looked left and right between his gazes, looked at the undead warriors standing around him like statues, and grinned, "If this is my fate, I will accept it." ”

With that, he strode toward the altar.
