Volume 12 The Rise of the Darkwalkers! Chapter 21: An Unexpected Clue (Part II)
The earliest thieves' guilds used pigeons to convey information, but at night, eagle-eyed peers can always find birds with snow-white feathers, so when thieves deliver news, regardless of the color of the pigeon's own feathers, they will use a special dye to blacken it, although this primitive and simple method has gradually faded out of the thieves' field of vision over the years, but the name "black dove" still circulates as a code for the exchange of information, and then becomes synonymous with the largest inn in Sin City. γFengyun Reading Network.γ
Here, the thieves are no longer so closely watched, no matter what the guests do inside, even if it is a conspiracy to usurp the country, no one will interfere, and over time, this has also become a fixed place for some nobles to communicate and discuss in private, from this point of view, the name of the black dove is still very meaningful.
Luo Lan rested leisurely in the inn for an afternoon, and when it was close to midnight, Ka came back with a yawn, looking at his tired face, Luo Lan was a little suspicious, what did he do?
"No hurry," Ka sat down, took a big gulp of tea on the table, wiped his mouth, he sighed, and said, "Now she has completely trusted me, both in heart and ......"
"Okay," Luo Lan waved his hand to stop him from continuing, staring at him and said, "Is she coming tonight?"
Ka coughed and said with a wry smile: "It's unfortunate that she has another appointment tonight, I'm afraid she won't be able to go to the appointment." He glanced at Luo Lan suspiciously, and said, "Could it be that you succeeded?"
At that moment, there was a soft knock on the door.
Luo Lan leaned back and smiled, "You owe me a bet." β
"Hah!" Ka stood up with a grin and said, "Don't worry, I'm never bad on my bills." Plus, it's your prey, so have a great night. He walked out the back door in amusement, and before that, he squeezed his eyes at Luo Lan. "I'll be back late." β
Luo Lan shook his head and said to the door, "Please come in." β
The door opens.
Esnaya, dressed in white, stood at the door with a cold expression. She looked at Luo Lan vigilantly, and also looked around. It seems to be checking to see if there are any secret voyeurs and prisms here. When she found that there was nothing unusual, and that Luo Lan was indeed the only one here, she walked in with confidence, stood opposite and looked at Luo Lan coldly and said, "How did you have that ring? Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"It seems that Miss Esnaya has a lot of questions, don't worry. I'll answer slowly," Luo Lan gestured to the seat opposite. He smiled and said, "Please be seated." β
Esnaya hesitated, but sat down.
Luo Lan looked at the other party and said sincerely: "First of all, I want to say, please rest assured, I am not a spy sent by the Thieves Guild to test you. β
Esnaya frowned, "I have something to tempt. Luo Lan smiled and said, "If that's the case, you won't be here tonight, will you?"
Asnaya's expression did not change, and she said calmly, "You haven't answered my question yet. β
Luo Lan nodded, took something out of his arms and turned it between his fingers. Then gently place it on the table.
It's a delicate ring. The blue geospar surface is engraved with a double fist emblem, and the clear lines are clearly visible in the light. Aisna's expression grew agitated, and she seemed to want to reach out and take it several times, but she couldn't hold back.
Luo Lan said slowly: "It was given to me by a friend before he died. β
Asnaya's body trembled slightly, and her breathing could be heard slightly rapid, and Luo Lan looked at her quietly and did not speak.
After a while, Asnaya's calm down finally calmed down, and she said coldly, "What does this have to do with me. β
Luo Lan leaned forward, his sharp gaze pierced her beautiful eyes, and said slowly: "It has a relationship, of course it has a relationship, you should be familiar with the name Josephine, right?"
Esnaya could no longer maintain her apparent composure, and she said in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"
Luo Lan said in a deep voice, "You can call me the Chosen One of the Prophets. β
Asnaya's shoulders shook gracefully, but she bit her lower lip and didn't speak.
Luo Lan looked at her and said, "I know that for many years, your Freedom Mutual Aid Association is actually a force supported by the Thieves Guild, and the original purpose was just to tie up the pace of the Swamp Clan, so that they could not penetrate into the human world......
He sighed lightly and said, " But two years ago, the vice-president Daroman had a conspiracy to stand on his own feet with his own intentions, he killed the master of prophecy, Armandez, and imprisoned the president, and succeeded in seizing the power of the council, inciting a slave rebellion in the city of Camilla's athletic land, after which he disappeared, and the remnants of the Commonaid were vigorously surrounded by the swamp tribe and had to withdraw from the marsh territory, and since then have been wandering the edge of the continent until you two sisters became the lovers of the archdeacon Brahms, which gave the remaining 3,000 members of the Commonaid a foothold, am I right? οΌβ
Aisnaya looked at Luo Lan in a daze, and wondered: "You, how can you know so clearly?" Many of the secrets involved in this are not very well known to Asnaya herself, but based on these alone, she can't believe the identity of the other party. =STARTER==
Luo Lan smiled and said: "Don't forget, I am the chosen one of the prophets, and the prophetic master Omandes has already seen that his fate is irreversible, so he ordered his disciple Hosephine to flee and join Kacamilla......"
"What?" Esnaya said in a lost voice, "You mean, he, he didn't betray us?"
"Probably not," Luo Lan shook his head and said, "Since Huo Sephine didn't know the whole story, he couldn't talk about betrayal, until later, in order to understand everything, he didn't hesitate to use the power that he couldn't control, so he ......"
He put his finger on the ring, spun it slightly, shrugged his shoulders and said: "He is worthy of a prophet, as early as two years ago, he foresaw our encounter today, which even I did not expect in advance, until I saw the ring in your hand in the inn in the morning, I suddenly lifted this fog that had existed in my heart for a long time, and understood the whole story." β
Esnaya stared at the ring silently, she sighed, and said, "You want to say that everything that happened today was what he foresaw, right? Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
"It's very simple," Luo Lan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and said, "We want to assassinate the president and archdeacon of the Thieves Guild, so I hope you can arrange it." After finishing speaking, Luo Lan didn't look at her, but picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. In fact, Luo Lan was not unwary of her, on the one hand, this condition was indeed to paralyze the central nervous system of the criminal thief group, and on the other hand, it was to test this woman's reaction.
"Impossible!" Esnaya refused without hesitation, she looked at Luo Lan with disdain, and said, "I advise you to dispel this idea too, why do you? Do you know the strength of Sin City? Even if you are really a duke, don't have such absurd dreams." β
"Hehe, I'm not the only one who has absurd dreams," Luo Lan smiled slightly, as if he meant something.
Asnaya's expression changed and she said, "What do you mean?"
Luo Lan said in a good time: "The members of the Mutual Aid Society have been looking for a way to break away from the Thieves Guild, and now you, as the president and vice president, have actually been secretly making preparations. β
The clue of the two sisters was first provided to Luo Lan by Ka, he felt that this was a chess piece that could be used, but the reason why he was able to notice them was because when Ka was investigating Luo Lan's identity in Sedaon before, he also checked the information of the Mutual Aid Society by the way, and found these secret things, and the connection was extremely subtle, as if there was really a thread of fate in the dark that would connect each other
"I don't know what you're talking about," Asnaya stood up and said coldly, "I should go, and I advise you to get out of here early." β
"What I want to tell you is that since I have a way to know about the changes in the Mutual Aid Society, then Brahms can also know that he is just holding back for the time being, and this matter is just up to us, and we don't need your involvement, for you, there should be no loss," Luo Lan looked at her and said in a deep voice: "More importantly, Josephine chose me, even if you don't trust me, you should believe in the prophecy he made at the cost of your life." β
Asnaya seemed a little hesitant, and she said quickly and quickly in a low voice, "I need to think about it,"
Luo Lan spread his hands and said, "No problem, I'll wait for you for three days." β
When she walked out of the door, Luo Lan said lightly: "Although the future has been foreseen, fate is still in your own hands." β
Asnaya paused, then left behind a trail of footsteps that faded away, slightly messy.
A moment later, Ka walked in through the back door, buried himself deep in the soft chair, and said lazily, "It seems that she is too eager, if she betrays us, it will be trouble." β
Luo Lan was not surprised that his "punctuality" appeared, he smiled deeply, and said: "The closest teleportation array to here should have been built tonight, this time it is of course best to be able to use the power of the Free Aid Society, in case of failure, we have the teleportation scroll in hand, and we can also retreat calmly, in short, they will never think that we are not attacking a certain person, but the entire Sin City." β
