"Jike, you not only missed and was captured, but also provoked this matter to the emperor, in order to save you, we clashed head-on with the empire, you say, how to solve this matter?" The purple-robed man seemed to ask Jike, but the fierceness in his words made Jike tremble.

"The villain thanks the alliance leader for his help, and he will definitely repay the alliance leader by being a cow and a horse in the future!" Ji Ke hurriedly expressed his loyalty, thinking that the alliance leader would save himself just to receive a capable subordinate.

"Each of you is Ravenhold's 'elixir'! Ravenhold's killer, how can he die at the hands of outsiders!" the purple-robed man paused, squatted down and looked at Jike, "Do you want to see my true face?"

Not knowing the purple-robed man's intentions, Ji Ke could only cautiously reply: "The alliance leader is willing to let the villain see the sky, that is the villain's honor, and the villain does not dare to hope for extravagance." ”

"Hahaha! With your words, I'll let you see it. "The purple-robed man slowly took off his mask, revealing a slightly pale, but rugged and mighty face.

"Do you know why I showed you my true face?" the purple-robed man grinned, and Jike suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and a dagger was 'inserted' in his 'chest' at some point.

Jike's eyes widened, he opened his mouth but couldn't speak, he didn't know why the purple-robed man wanted to kill him when he was dying, if he wanted to die by himself, why did he save him?!

Putting on the mask again, the purple-robed man said softly: "Because those who have seen my true face are already dead." The only way to save you is to understand what happened at the time and determine the target of revenge. Moreover, Ravenhold's killer can only die at the hands of Ravenhold! And if you don't die, how can you appease the emperor's anger? We can't afford to provoke an empire!"

......

The death row inmate, who had been taken at noon, was returned in less than an hour, even though it was already a corpse, with a letter of apology from Ravenhold attached:

The members of this alliance were accidentally arrested, which caused a lot of trouble to the empire, and I hereby personally clean up the 'door' household, don't blame it!

When he got the paper letter that was clearly an apology, but was actually suspected of being a **, Niland trembled angrily and was furious in the palace for half an hour. If it weren't for the fact that Ravenhold hadn't been clarified, I'm afraid that Nilander would have sent troops to clean it up.

Harry frowned as he heard the whole thing from Shanny's mouth. It must have taken a lot of effort to rescue the death row prisoner Ravenhold, so why did he kill him and send him back immediately? Could it really be because the rumors said that it was just to the Empire?

**Isn't it more direct to kill the killer on the spot? What happened within 1 hour of taking the killer away? It stands to reason that this powerful killer should not be an important person, and it is definitely not worth Ravenhold's 'spending' effort to rescue. The dark shadow who faced the two masters alone must be one of Ravenhold's top masters, what is the purpose of such a hard work? Harry was puzzled.

Ravenhold Manor, which is also the secret headquarters of the Alliance. At this time, the purple-robed man was sitting at a table with the other four red-robed people, discussing something, and the black shadow was still standing behind him.

"What are the elders' opinions, after all, this is the first time since the founding of our Ravenhold Alliance!" the purple-robed man looked a little casual at this time, not like he looked when he faced Jike.

"I think that's it, that knight is the one chosen by the princess, and according to the principles of the alliance, he is an immovable figure. That magician must also have some background in the Magic Guild, so it is not appropriate to be an enemy of him. A red-robed elder commented.

"I agree! Although he sent Jike to the official office, after all, he did not blatantly violate our ban, and I don't think it is appropriate to retaliate. The other red-robed elder also nodded.

The other two red-robed elders did not speak, but they did not object, and remained silent.

The purple-robed man looked at them, looking like a hanger, and said in a flirtatious tone: "Why have we been able to stand tall for more than 300 years? We have not been attacked by the Empire? Could it be that our strength has reached the point where we can compete with the Empire? It seems that the elders should have a lot of hidden masters in their hands, otherwise with my current manpower, even a large team of the Imperial Knights will not be able to withstand it." ”

"Ma Wei, what do you mean!" the red-robed man who spoke first stood up and pointed angrily at the purple-robed man.

"I don't mean anything, Great Elder, why are you so 'excited'?" Putting his feet on the table, Ma Wei snapped his fingers, "I think you all know that the core strength of the alliance is just that, and the rest of the members will definitely be scattered if something happens to the alliance." Since you don't have any hidden strength, why should we compete with the Empire, and why didn't the Empire get rid of us?"

The four elders fell into deep thought, pondering Ma Wei's words.

"On the one hand, because we are low-key enough, the empire can't 'fathom' our reality, and it can't find our headquarters. Ma Wei didn't wait for everyone to think about it, and shouted: "There is another reason, that is, the empire can't catch us! If he wants to get rid of us, there must be a reason for the crown spring, right? But for hundreds of years, the empire has been unable to find a witness to prove our guilt." ”

"Do you think the rules made by the Alliance in the first place were to protect those ordinary killers? To buy people's hearts? Admittedly, there is a slight reason. But, most importantly, it's used to protect the Alliance!" Mavi continued: "Although the killers on our periphery don't know many secrets, if people continue to be captured, and information continues to be passed on to the Empire, then the fall of Ravenhold is not far off. In the past 300 years, there have been more killer organizations that have disappeared for this reason than the hair of the Third Elder!" The Third Elder subconsciously 'touched' and 'touched' the few hairs that were left of him, although there were not many, there were still hundreds.

"But it is precisely because of our efforts to protect those killers that they will do their best to protect the interests of the Alliance, in the Empire, we have always been a low-key existence, how many targets have we successfully assassinated? How many goals have we abandoned? We know, but the Empire does not know! Whether we succeed or fail, the Empire cannot grasp any of our handles. So the Empire's clearance forces have never set foot on our Ravenhold Manor!"

"Although I didn't have the opportunity to meet Lord Ravenhold, I admired his resourcefulness. It was this rule that he made that allowed Ravenhold to exist safely for more than 300 years! What killer organization can have such a long lifespan? No! Only us, Ravenhold!" Ma Wei also seemed to be a little 'excited' when he said it.

"What Ma Wei said does seem to make a lot of sense!" Although Ma Wei laughed at his hair, the upright three elders still agreed with Ma Wei's statement.

The Second Elder and the Fourth Elder also nodded, and the Great Elder had a calm face and did not refute Ma Wei.

"But! This time that wizard kid actually despised the majesty of our Ravenhold! This is not the main thing, the most important thing is that his actions seriously threaten the foundation of Ravenhold's existence, and if we don't take countermeasures, then Ravenhold will be in the biggest crisis ever!" Ma Wei slapped the table and said sharply: "For the first time, he made us 'exposed' under the gaze of the Empire, the Emperor may have heard of us before, but he may not have taken us to heart." ”

"Since the situation is not good now, why do you still want to make such a high-profile statement to the Empire?" the Great Elder questioned.

"It's happened, the Empire has responded, are you still turning a blind eye, Great Elder?" Ma Wei scoffed.

"The Empire just wants to kill Jik, and it doesn't mean to move us!"

"If you think about it, you can understand that if the empire didn't want to touch us, it wouldn't have executed Jik at all. The empire is a**, do you want us to pretend not to see it!"

"In that case, why do you want to 'provoke' the Empire? Aren't you afraid that the Imperial army will come to clean it up?" the Second Elder asked.

"Of course I'm afraid!, we don't have the strength to compete with the Empire!" Ma Wei replied leisurely, "So, I'm going to let them cast rat traps!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"The purpose of this captive is to show our strength! Although there is no chance of winning against us head-on, the emperor and those ministers must also consider that once we are 'forced' into a hurry, their safety will not be guaranteed! After all, they do not know our reality or reality. "Under the protection of two level 8 warriors, it is easy for people to take prisoners, so what kind of masters do the emperors and ministers need to protect themselves in the future? How much does such a killer Ravenhold have? Once the cleanup begins, people in the empire will inevitably panic, and they are afraid that they will become the target of the killer. That's what Mavi is all about.

"So you've even dispatched the Black Kill?" the Elder of the Four 1(6)k .1(6)оМ text version looked at the dark shadow behind Ma Wei.

"Yes, since the two level 8 masters can be 'played' by us to applaud, the level 9 master escort is not so safe. If the empire wants to move us, it must first weigh us, and if we have many black killers......" Ma Wei 'revealed' a smug smile.

This is reasonable, and after this incident, the empire must not dare to act rashly. The elders nodded.

"That being said, we have to be silent for a while after we have done the last thing, so that the Empire's attention is no longer on us. It's always good to be careful. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Ravenhold's revenge!" Ma Wei's face showed a 'yin' and cold 'color', "That magician imp has brought us Ravenhold so much trouble, if we don't retaliate, won't we let future generations follow him!"

"I—go!" the dark shadow named Black Kill suddenly spoke.

"Hmm......" Ma Wei thought for a moment, "Although I think it's a bit of a fuss to kill you, but in order to calm down the adverse effects of this incident as soon as possible, it's up to you to do it!"

"Since that knight is the person the princess has a crush on, it is naturally better not to provoke him. This robbery is estimated to have made the emperor very angry, and if he kills his colt, it will definitely be a little troublesome, so the only target for this black kill is that little magician. Mavi added.

"Yes!"
