In the quiet of the morning, the sky was not yet bright, and the hazy morning fog and the dim flickering lights reflected each other, adding a touch of cold color to the ancient wood town that had not yet woken up from the dream. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The tall thin man standing outside the door hesitated, never having the courage to push open the door in front of him, but his right hand holding the handle did not let go, as if his heart was still struggling.

After only a moment, the determination in his heart overcame the hesitation, and he opened the door, and stepped into the floor of the room with firm steps, and took off the hood above his head.

Even if Loren was still there, he would never have recognized that this was Anthony's living room - the entire room had been swept away, except for the few tables and chairs.

"How does it feel? I think it's a lot simpler than it used to be. Sitting on the bench, Farnesis asked leisurely, "Father Anthony seems to be very attached to extravagant things, as if he could make him forget his origins, and he is just a pauper who cannot be lowered." ”

The tall and thin man did not answer immediately, but walked up to Fanecis and bowed his head humbly: "You are right, external illusions and identities can often make us forget what we really are. ”

"Don't be so reserved, I'm not here to lecture you. Fanesis smiled very "easy-going": "Please be seated, Master Karan, we have a morning." ”

Karan, who did not dare to slack off at all, immediately sat aside, and although he tried his best to remain reserved, his gestures were full of nervousness and awe, and he was as well-behaved as an apprentice in front of his mentor.

This is not a strange thing either. In front of the heir appointed by Bishop Fabiang, what qualifications does a little wilderness wizard have to be arrogant?

Not to mention that the other party is still holding his own handle...... Kahlan couldn't help but secretly clench his right hand.

"Although I didn't say it, you should know why you came. After seeing the other man sit down, a satisfied Phanesis spoke, "Not long ago, that wizard apprentice named Loren Turin used to be here. ”

In just a few days, he found a lot of clues. Even after I told you to be cautious, there was still an accident - the consequence of your serious underestimation of him was that after the death of three people, not only did you fail to solve this trouble, but also allowed the Vimpal Academy to completely clear the previous suspicion!"

"In order to solve the problem, I also had to personally come to Gumu Town to finish it up for you, and even condemn a branch of the noble bloodline, so that the apprentice left here like a hero!"

The more Farnesis spoke, the colder his tone became: "Now that the people of the Wimpal Academy have raised their vigilance, do you really know how difficult it is to catch the tail of this old slippery head of Peter?!"

"I'm so sorry!" Karan lowered his head without hesitation, "This incident is indeed beyond my expectations, but please believe that this matter is far from over!"

"I'm listening. Fanecis's jaw cocked arrogantly.

"As you can tell, they must have been on their guard because of that apprentice. But on the other hand, now is the perfect time to raid them. Raising his head slightly, Kahran's pupils flashed with a strange luster like a wolf: "People who have just solved a crisis tend to think that they are temporarily safe, and we can take advantage of this!"

Karan was well aware of his current situation.

No matter how many wilderness wizards or mercenaries he gathered, he was still just a dog in the eyes of the Phanescist - if he lost his usefulness, he was finished. So whether you can do it or not, you have to pique the interest of this adult.

"And, I just got an important piece of information that will make the next plan go even more smoothly!"

"Tell me about it. Fanex's tone finally calmed a little.

"Just a few days ago, one of my spies outside the Wimpal Academy was spotted by them. Kahlan deliberately lowered his tone: "If nothing else, I'm afraid it has been extinguished!"

"Am I being too lenient with you, Master Karan?" Farnes, who had a somewhat playful tone, showed a smiling expression, "Can you take credit for the bad news as good?"

"On the contrary, my lord, this news couldn't be better—even the eyeliner around him has been gouged out, even the Dean of Peter should breathe a sigh of relief for a while, right?"

"And that spy was just a minor insignificant character, and knew almost nothing about my whole plan and set-up. Even if they really tortured them to extract confessions, they would not be able to ask anything. ”

"When the time comes, I'll lead all my men to raid Vimpal, and then you can come with the Church's guards to 'suppress the bandits', and then Peter's private stuff will be exposed, and you will have a legitimate reason to wipe this damn academy off the land!"

"Sounds good, but ......," Farnesis said, glancing at the tall and lanky man, "when the time comes, your men will probably end up hanging." ”

"There is no way to do this, there is always someone to sacrifice for the sake of a just cause. Karan replied as a matter of course, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "They can also wash away their sins and be crowned in the kingdom of the Holy Cross!"

Fanesis smiled, as if he had seen a dog that was impatient for him to throw his bones over.

"You've sacrificed so much, what do you want?"

"That's all there is - you just have to give it to me afterwards. Karan replied in a low voice, "And if you need to, I can continue to gather some wandering wizards and mercenaries for you, and remove any stumbling blocks that stand in your way, even the ......."

"We can talk about this later. Farnesis hastily interrupted him, but his gaze was a little wandering - I have to admit that the suggestion was very tempting.

Kahlan immediately chose to shut up, but a strange smile appeared on his drooping face. He could see that Farnesis had been seduced by his offer.

Sure enough, this "servant of the Holy Cross" is not a man without desires, he also has his own ambitions.

"Go back first, and I'll let you know when the time comes. Fanesis waved his hand, signaling that the other party could retreat.

The satisfied, tall, lanky man bowed humbly, bent backwards and left the room. After a long, deep breath, a relieved Farnesis sat down in his chair and slowly calmed down.

"Do you really believe him?" asked the knight, who was standing in the corner, all the while.

"Would you trust a fox?" asked Farness, smiling, "I believe in his immediate interests - I don't know what they are, but if he wants it, then he must listen to me." ”

"It's an old trick. As long as your thoughts and purposes are known to others, you must obey that person, and this is true for everyone. ”

Seeing the knight's still dazed expression, Farnesis shook his head helplessly: "It's very simple, I have his handle in my hand, so he doesn't dare to betray me at this stage." ”

Although this cronie of his own is loyal and brave, he really doesn't have much ability to read words and feelings, otherwise he wouldn't have to find a way to take advantage of an inferior wizard pariah like Karan.

However, at least it was worth the money to let Anthony die - I thought he only had the ability to make money, but I didn't expect to be able to discover such an important secret and exchange it for a guy as easy to use as Kalan.

"But if he waits for what he wants...... "The knight is still not very reassured.

"If he chooses to betray, I can get rid of him - a little wandering wizard, and it's not a problem. Farnesis said confidently: "Anyway, when this matter is over, he will not have much use." ”

It's just a dog, even if it has the value of use, it's not worth thinking about it much. What's more, if it's still an insatiable dog, it's even more impossible to let him leave alive.
