Outside the house was bone-chilling rain, and beside him was the unbearable heat.

The two who looked at each other looked at each other and looked at each other without saying a word.

After a long time, the black-haired wizard slowly raised his head and spoke softly:

"Me?"

"To be precise... There's never been a better time to kill you. The indifferent Night's Watch opened his eyes, his face frosty: "Maybe it doesn't take Conod's hands to do it, there will be someone... No, it should be said that half of the people in the imperial capital are crazy and want you to die!"

"Loren, you have won this pre-imperial judgment so beautifully, so thoroughly that His Majesty Eckhart will need to intervene personally to maintain the balance between the church and the wizarding academy - the balance has been broken, and it is a very dangerous sign!"

Edward's tone was extremely solemn: "It is not only Weber who has suffered a crushing defeat in your hands, but also the 'moderates' of the church led by Archbishop Innocent behind him; once the archbishop loses power, the radical faction led by the church inquisitor will control the entire Holy Cross Church!"

"As for the Charns... I've heard that the new Earl Charn doesn't seem to have any intention of making enemies against you, but then he has to find a way to control the whole family, and he has no time to care about the private revenge of the rest of the old-fashioned nobles;"

"The Yode Chamber of Commerce that lost to you in the big gamble, you won 300 million in one go in order to defeat them, and indeed shocked the chambers and guilds of the entire imperial capital, and made them willingly become a member of Brandon;"

"Have you ever wondered... Even if they're really afraid of you, it doesn't mean they don't hate you – on the contrary, they hate you to the core!"

The night watchman's face tense: "You almost won this game, so that His Majesty the Emperor must personally intervene so as not to cause the balance of several major forces to collapse; you have established your prestige in the imperial capital, established your prestige and prestige in the wizarding class, won the wealth of the rich country, and defeated the enemy who threatens the wizards the most......"

"But, too, you carry the most hatred, wealth and fame... In the imperial capital, there are people everywhere who want to let you die!"

The black-haired wizard who didn't say a word, his expression gradually became much heavier.

"With what I know about you... I thought you would have chosen the 'reconciliation' option, so you didn't do much preparation, but now it seems likely that something has happened, or you think that a hearty victory will be better for you and His Highness Brandon. ”

Edward sighed, his eyes complicated: "I don't want to... I don't need to know why, I just want to be reminded... Now you're dangerous, very dangerous!"

"If the Night's Watch does decide to do it, it won't be you, Ain, Isaac, Ruthen... Even every guy around you who is too close to you is in danger of his life, and Ruth Infinit's methods should be familiar to you. ”

Loren's pupils shrank slightly, and the corners of his eyes already revealed murderous intent.

"Of course... It's not without good news. The Night's Watch shifted: "Ain and Lusen broke through the Night's Watch's ambush, and Lena de Salion's backwater... These were certainly not expected by Crown Prince Connad. ”

"Even the forces standing behind Conod are not united... Even mutual distrust, even hostility – in other words, whatever Conod's plans were, were now completely disrupted. ”

"He is in the fortress of Broken Mountain, and he can't deal with you in the imperial capital thousands of miles away. ”

"For a short time, you're safe. ”

Loren tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he could hear the comfort in Edward's words.

It's safe for a short time... The implication is that it won't be long before someone is going to do something to them.

"How much time is left?"

"A week, half a month, a month... It's all possible, the exact time is not clear, and they are already starting to doubt me. Edward shrugged helplessly, but his expression was still indifferent:

"This tower is the best proof of this... Almost half a month ago, the night watchmen of the imperial capital had already changed their headquarters to a new headquarters, downgrading this place to an ordinary stronghold, but until now I still have no idea about the location of the new headquarters, and I don't even know the general area. ”

The black-haired wizard frowned slightly.

That's the problem... Edward is the only night watchman he can trust, and if he starts to be suspected... His own eyeliner inside the night watch is equal to nothing.

It's just suspicion at the moment... For Root Infinit, even suspicion alone was enough to stop trusting Edward and the entire Ebolden Night's Watch.

The issue involved is not only the safety of himself and the little wizard, but also his revenge plan against Rute Infinit, which is the most important thing!

A mad dog-like organization of the Night's Watch is definitely not what they want, and their revenge against Rute Infinit must not evolve into a head-to-head confrontation with the Night's Watch, but only their internal contradictions.

Edward must be trusted by the Night's Watch, or at least not to be sidelined or even suspicious, or ......

It's all in vain!

"What do you need me to do?"

Edward was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Loren to be so decisive.

But... Isn't that the purpose of my trip?

"Quite simply, you're going to want to be as high-profile as possible during this time... It's best to go in and out of crowded places often, not too deliberately, but it's best to attract enough attention. The Night's Watch nodded:

"And then... Let's choose another time when the night watchman in the imperial capital... Especially before Ruth Infinit really decides to make a move, let you leave Golovin in a more 'high-profile' way. ”

"That's why I'm going to talk to you in this way... There is no one other than you and me who knows what happened, and it is better to make them all think that you are dead or even missing, so as to avoid the possibility of being detected by the Night's Watch for the time being. ”

"Loren, I need you to fake your death once... Preferably, I'll kill you in public!"

The moment he said this, Edward's expression was extremely complicated, staring at those dark eyes.

He knew how excessive and unreasonable his request was.

But... You have to think about the worst-case scenario.

Not just for Loren alone, but for the friends of Eberden, and for all those involved with him... Rut Infinit is definitely not a soft-hearted being.

In the face of such an opponent.

No matter how careful, how cruel, how cold-blooded......

It's not too much!

"I see... Have you made up your mind?"

Little by little, the corners of Loren's mouth were raised, and his expression was meaningful: "Edward, can I think that you are willing to accept my proposal?"

The indifferent night watchman flashed with a hint of astonishment and nervousness in his eyes.

But in just a second, he returned to his original state and sighed softly: "...... Even if it is. ”

"Things have evolved like this, do I still have a way out?"

The smiling black-haired wizard nodded, and there was also a little more determination in his eyes:

"Good. ”

"Then I'll believe you... I'll give you an answer in three days, and then you can figure out how to tell me the exact time. ”

"Yes. The night watchman bowed slightly:

"Theran Corvo was placed in a chapel by me, which was once a stronghold of the Night's Watch... While it may not make him a wizard again, it can at least recover slowly. ”

"What's more... Having a chip in your hand that can blackmail you a little bit can also reassure the increasingly impatient Night's Watch agents from making their own moves. ”

"I believe in you. A smiling Loren got up and walked towards the door of the living room.

Just as he pressed the doorknob, the voice of the night watchman suddenly came from behind him:

"Be careful... His Majesty Eckhart II. ”

For a moment, Loren froze.

"This is the information I got from the Heavenly Dome Palace... On the night of Siscott Charn's death, His Majesty the Emperor had already chosen the next Chancellor of the Exchequer, which would be officially announced in about a month. ”

"So, that's just my guess... The retreat of the Holy Cross Church, the compromise of the old-school aristocracy, the rise of the Wizarding Academy, and the battle between the two princes... Perhaps, it was all in his expectation. ”

"Maybe... He always sat in the Heavenly Dome Palace, as if enjoying an opera, overlooking us in all our ugliness;

"Perhaps, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, who was once powerful and dictatorial, and held great power......"

"Still holding his scepter!"
