Volume 8 The Rise of the Dead! Chapter 1: Clouds

Syaden Castle Council Chamber. [No pop-ups.]

On the table in front of Ondo lay a letterhead written on silk, and he waved a few magic flies away, and the air twisted and scattered, and fine pieces of white ash fell.

He had read the letter once, and it was written with emotion and earnestness, and the exhortation contained in it did make him feel that there was something to his words, and he stood quietly at the window for a while, then turned and picked up the silk again, and put it in the bright light to read it again, and the smile on his lips grew larger and larger as his gaze moved over the lines of the text.

There was a sound of footsteps in the hallway outside the door.

Ang Duo frowned slightly, and with a flick of his wrist unhurriedly, the silk silk was suddenly shattered into countless fragments by the divine fighting qi in his hand, and they were scattered under the misty cliff outside the window.

"Bang, bang. ”

There was a rhythmic knock on the door, and judging by the small sound, it was clear that a cautious, but slightly impatient man was standing outside the door.

Ondo calmly sat back in his chair and waited for a moment before he spoke, "Come in." ”

The concierge is opened.

The senator Colles cautiously entered the room, and then closed the door lightly, he was in his thirties, his hair was slightly bald, and he held a sheepskin scroll in his hand, and the bright red cable ties were noticeable at a glance.

His eyes flickered, with a little excitement and anticipation, and he knew at a glance that there was important news to announce.

"Come here, sit down. Ondor pointed to the chair in front of the table, he was now more and more like a superior person, and his words and deeds were full of authority and bearing.

Colles bowed, and instead of sitting down immediately, he slowly pushed the scroll in front of Ondor. Then look at the latter, and sit down cautiously and slowly.

Ang Duo's eyes fell, "Hmm", and smiled: "There is a result?"

"Yes," Colles straightened up, though he hadn't fully sat down yet.

"Sit down and say, sit down and say. Ondor made a gesture of humility, a smile of affability and tolerance on his face.

Colles suddenly felt a parchy in his mouth, and he couldn't help but pull his neckline and take a breath. "We didn't find any clues about him at first, but his followers were very conspicuous, so I started with the tall barbarian and the blind prayer master......

Ondorf listened quietly, neither interrupting nor interjecting, Colles was a very reliable subordinate, although his ability was not very outstanding, but as a representative of the Thieves' Guild, he did his best after taking over Ka's original position, without slackening at all.

Sometimes, though, he likes to stand out too much. Highlight the efforts he has made. In this case, for example, Ondor only needs to know the outcome. And you don't need to know the whole process.

At the end, Colles lowered his voice and said, "His real name is Lundit Lan for more than twenty years, and he was the first person to pass the trial in the diocese of Mosha and thus obtain the qualification of a missionary. ”

"Oh?" said Ondor, raising his eyebrows, tapping his fingers on the table, his gaze resting on Coles's face, "You mean, he's a missionary?"

Colles's slender eyes revealed a hint of coldness, and he said in an accentuated tone, "Yes." My lord, I suspect that there is a big force behind him, and it may even be deliberately arranged by the Holy See or a certain diocese, so he is a great threat to both the Thieves Guild and you!"

Ondor looked down and pondered. Seems to be thinking about something.

Colles looked nervously at him, expecting him to make a decision.

He knew that Ka, who had previously sat in this position, had masterminded the entire Sedaon plan for the seizure of power. And succeeded in making the Thieves' Guild firmly establish itself here, and completely expelled the power of the Holy See's center. And for some reason, Ka automatically asked to leave this power center, and he never imagined that this empty position would be filled by him.

But when he came here, he found himself embarrassed, although the card had already left, but it seemed that everything was going on in an orderly manner according to the steps originally planned by the latter, and he could not even insert a single detail, because there was no need for it, and it seemed redundant.

He always seemed to be shrouded in the shadow of the card, which gave him an inexplicable sense of fear, because he realized that whoever sat in this position was the same, so why did it have to be himself?

Compared to the position in the Thieves' Guild, the feeling of holding power at this moment, even a little bit is a wonderful enjoyment.

he

Ever thought about hiding in a dark corner to spy on others, or spending all day snooping.

So, he had to prove himself and prove that he was an indispensable person here in Sedaon!

Now, he's finally found that opportunity!

Onduo slowly raised his head under the gaze of his nervous gaze, but smiled faintly, noncommittal.

When Coles saw Ondor's expression that seemed to be indifferent, his enthusiasm was suddenly extinguished as if he had been drenched in ice water, and he looked at the latter in amazement, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he said anxiously: "Your Excellency, you must pay attention to it! The missionary has the qualifications to establish a diocese recognized by the Holy See!"

Onduo slowly leaned back in his chair and changed to a more comfortable sitting position, he waved his hand and smiled, "Teaching is just an identity, and it is not just an identity to establish a diocese. If nothing else, money, the army, the clergy, and the support of various forces are indispensable. But I don't see where he is. ”

β€”

Colles leaned forward suddenly, his expression was a little excited, he clenched his fists, and said in an almost roaring voice: "But my lord, you are about to establish a new parish, as long as he has this status, he can be instigated and used by some people with intentions! We must completely stop the germ of this danger! and, and ......" At this point, he seemed a little embarrassed.

"You're trying to say that he's getting too close to my fiancΓ©e, aren't you?" said Ondor, his gaze turning around Corles.

Colles looked at Ondorf in a daze, and he suddenly felt that he couldn't see through the other party.

He originally thought that Ondor would be angry when he heard the news, or smash the things in the house, and maybe even draw his sword and hurt people, which was one of the reasons why he was so sure, but he never expected that the other party would already know the news, and even seemed to not care at all. His mind went blank for a moment, and he couldn't turn a corner.

Ondorf stood up calmly, he paced slowly to the window, his eyes glanced at the pot of begonia flowers placed on the windowsill, the bright red color was shocking at a glance, and gave off a signal of danger, he muttered for a moment, and said, "Tell me what you are going to do, but you must not use my army." ”

If a missionary is openly killed, even if his identity is not transparent, the Holy See or other dioceses are likely to use this as an excuse to make a big fuss, which is not what he wants to see. In the handling of this matter, it must be subtle and flawless.

Coles, who was already a little discouraged, suddenly lifted his spirits when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head, it seemed that all his vitality returned to his body at once, he stood up suddenly, pointed to the scroll on the table, and said excitedly: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, I have already drawn up a complete plan......

Ondor interrupted him with a wave of his hand with his back to him, "Be specific. ”

Colles calmed his breath and said slowly: "My lord, since the last war with the Swamp Clan, there are still some mercenary groups and scattered bandits that have gathered at that time on the border between Sedaon and the Swamp Clan, they are plundering everywhere, we don't have the energy to eliminate them for the time being, but this time we can release some rumors, implying that this person has a lot of money, and then ......" He made a downward movement, and said in a cold voice: "Completely remove this trouble." ”

In Colais's opinion, this should be a perfect plan, the number of these mercenary groups and robbers is as few as hundreds, as many as thousands, and there are some masters among them, if they succeed, they can use the excuse to shift the responsibility to these guys, even if they fail, they will not lose anything, but can also borrow each other's hands to sweep away these pesky insects and ants.

Onduo turned his head, revealing a well-defined, knife-like face, and said in a deep voice, "How sure are you?"

"More than ninety percent!"

"Oh?" Hondor's turn was a little surprised, he slowly turned around, looked at Colais with interest, and said, "It seems that you still haven't told me any tricks." "A priest with the protection of his subordinates, even if he is only a low-level priest, even if he can't fight against a large number of mercenaries, there is always a great chance of breaking through and escaping.

Colles smiled mysteriously, and he lowered his voice, "To be sure, our guild has sent assassins. ”

Ondor looked up again at the window, where there was a thick cloud of ink that hung over the sky.
