Stron Mickey is the City Administrator of Crooks City.

As the leader of the Lord of Crooks, Meredith the Elder, he was originally the most favored, and under the premise that the royal family did not make a move, he was the most noble to become the lord of the city.

The reason why the word 'original' is used is because after the elder Meredith's illness was privately revealed by the temple of the Temple of Life, the city lieutenant Lloyd quickly rose to become another force.

Judging from the current situation alone, Lloyd's power has overwhelmed Ström, and Lloyd has replaced Ström as the hottest candidate for the next city lord.

This made Ström a bit square.

In the past, as the leader of the city lord, he had many conflicts with the second-in-command city captain Lloyd, and the relationship between the two had long been openly opposed, and with the acquiescence of the city lord Meredith, they restrained each other and dragged each other back.

Although he didn't do it directly, Ström even indirectly killed the other party's only son in a conflict, and that ** made the conflict between them swell to the point of irreconcilability.

It can be said that all the nobles in the entire Crooks can take refuge in Lloyd, but Strom cannot, as long as Lloyd takes the throne, what awaits Strom must be the end of the whole family being killed by the other party.

Seeing that the enemies he had formed with his identity and the connivance of the old city lord began to fall one by one, Ström panicked.

In order to save himself, he did not hesitate to join a secret society that had extended an olive branch to him.

Originally, Ström thought it was a shoe cult that believed in evil gods, but after joining, he found out that this was not the case, the other party did not have any restrictions on faith, and they were more enthusiastic about the study of various taboos than the sect of faith.

Even the worldly powers were unattractive to them, and Ström even felt that if they could not provide more convenient research conditions, the other party had no intention of seizing power at all.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Strom, even if he is used as a gun and becomes a puppet of a secret organization, all he wants is help to help him get back to the top and not be liquidated by his political enemies.

After returning home from the City Lord's Mansion that day, he couldn't wait to go into the underground secret room, and the badge in his arms was constantly heating up, which showed that the mysterious people had something to do with him.

The chamber is filled with invisible letterheads and treasures treasured by Strom, the most striking of which is a large silver floor-to-ceiling mirror.

After attaching the badge to the groove in the frame, the eye-shaped pattern above the floor-to-ceiling mirror suddenly opened as if it had come to life, staring directly at Strom.

Even though he had activated the magic guide many times, Ström still felt the gaze of the eyeballs on the frame.

Ripples rippled in the mirror, and after a moment the reflection of Ström in the mirror vanished, replaced by a man in a robe and hood, revealing only half of his face and making it difficult to see his face.

"Do you have any instructions from the Ambassador?" Ström struggled to overcome the feeling of resentment in his heart, rubbing his hands together like flies, and asking the other party very doggedly.

"There has been a recent influx of people into Crookes, so you need to be careful." The other party replied lightly.

"Forehead ......"

Ström had thought about a lot of possibilities for the other party to call him, but now that the other party said this, he was a little confused.

That's it?

Considering that this group of mysterious black-robed people could not suddenly be targeted for no reason, Ström felt that there must be something strange about this matter.

"Those people...... Is there something wrong? He asked cautiously.

"They are supposed to be believers in some church and are tracking down the Swamp People." The other party's answer made Strön's heart sink suddenly.

That's right, the Swamp People were the ones he acquired from the mysterious organization and sent out to Crooks.

His goal is simple, to secretly increase his power by unknowingly replacing those genuine nobles with the swamp people he controls - of course, if possible, it is also a good choice to directly become the city lieutenant Lloyd.

It's just that most nobles will have one or two capable bodyguards around them.

The bodyguards in this world are all believers of various sects, and those who can be hired by the nobles as bodyguards, even if they are not extraordinary, are estimated to be not far from stepping into the transcendent realm.

Compared to these believers whose combat strength is still considerable, the strength of the swamp people is a bit insufficient.

It is true that they can completely imitate a person, but that is only appearance and memory, and the nature of life has completely changed, and the swamp people cannot generate faith, so they cannot deceive the gods to obtain divine grace and protection.

In other words, even if the swamp people are lucky enough to kill a priest with good strength and completely mimic the other party, they will not be able to use divine magic, and they will not even be able to touch the holy water of the original church...... Considering that the fighting spirit and magic in this world are also closely related to faith (you need to believe in the God of War and the Purple of the Demon Guide in the Seven Heavenly Fathers), so the same is true for mimicking warriors and mages, only the appearance is changed, and the strength cannot be copied.

In short, it is difficult to kill the nobles in front of the noses of these bodyguards, so Ström decides to take a roundabout path, let the swamp people replace some commoners first, apply for gardener servants and other jobs as commoners to get close to the nobles, and then find an opportunity to kill the other party for mimicry.

After all, it is impossible for bodyguards to follow the nobles twenty-four hours a day.

It's just that the plan is not halfway, and now it seems that the middle way is about to collapse - the swamp people themselves have only been spreading for a few days, and there are unknown church believers who have come to Crooks to investigate, and if they continue to do this, they will be in trouble if they are caught.

"It can't be the believers of the Temple of Justice who are here to investigate, right?" Thinking of this, Ström asked with some trepidation.

To say that people like him who do bad things in private are most afraid of the believers in the Temple of Justice who can not even be afraid of death for the sake of justice, the extreme existence in this group of madmen in order to prevent an unjust war, even dare twenty or thirty people to organize and infiltrate the royal castle of a big country to stab the tyrant in the back, you can imagine how crazy it is.

If it is included in the pursuit sequence by the Temple of Justice, it will not be able to settle down even if it runs to the ends of the earth.

"No, there is no divine light of justice in them." The black-robed man also seemed to be a little jealous of the Temple of Justice: "It shouldn't be a believer in Aslan, the Lion King of Justice." ”

"Did these people track down anything?" Hearing that he was not a believer in the Temple of Justice, Stron was a little relieved, and then asked, "How did they secretly investigate?" ”

"They...... They started at the gates, knocked on the doors of houses, and asked, 'Are you a swamp man?' ”

Speaking of this, the corners of the black-robed man's mouth twitched, and he replied as he struggled to maintain his mysterious atmosphere.

Ström: "??? ”

What is this covert investigation?

I'm afraid this group of people are all sand sculptures, right?

Could it be that the swamp people will still admit that they are swamp people?

When the swamp people Strom obtained them from the black-robed people, they were also checked one by one, and although their IQ seemed to be slightly lower than that of ordinary people, they were difficult to debunk by carving the disguise into their bones and almost becoming instinctive.

The bug that could be seen in the hair due to his own negligence has now been fixed - after the current swamp people kill the victim, they will peel off the other party's hair along with the scalp and cover their own heads, and it is no longer feasible to verify by pulling the hair!

Thinking of this, Ström was relieved.

I originally thought it was a male lion, but I didn't expect it to be just a groundhog, which scared Lao Tzu.

"Don't be at ease too early, although I don't know what means they used, but after asking, if it is an ordinary person, they will say something 'yellow, or yellow', 'can't be yellow' and so on and leave, and once they meet the swamp people, they will shout 'red and red' while hacking the swamp people to death!"

However, the black-robed man's words made Strom's heart hang again: "The number of times I found the swamp people, the city lieutenant Lloyd began to ask the city guards to assist those guys in searching the swamp people, the group of swamp people we gave you is already a tenth dead, if you don't believe it, you can use the magic guide to control the swamp people to feel it." ”

Ström hurriedly took out an abacus-like object from his bosom, and after crackling and flipping it for a while, his face turned blue and white for a while - it seemed that the information of the black-robed people was outdated, and now one-fifth of the swamp people were missing.

The city lieutenant Lloyd would open the door to those believers who came from unknown sources and Strom didn't expect it, but it makes sense to think about it carefully: after all, because of the case made by the swamp people during this time, the city lieutenant Lloyd was already anxious, and he was subjected to a lot of doubts and public opinion pressure, and now someone has come out to solve the problem for him, as long as his brain is not broken, he will naturally cooperate.

If this continues, except for a few swamp people who have already mimicked into nobles, maybe all the remaining swamp people will be wiped out!

Gan, are those sand sculptures so powerful?

Ström panicked.

It's like I thought the other side was just a simple groundhog, but I didn't expect the other party to be 'ah——! With a shout, the explosion turned into a Super Saiyan rat and rushed over.

How does this top?

"Your Excellency, save me!" Ström immediately wanted to hug his thighs.

"We can give you more 'research', but that's about it." The black-robed man turned a deaf ear to this, and just said in that somewhat playful tone: "The only one who can save you is yourself." It's a test for you......"

"After all, even if we have a dog, we won't keep useless waste."
