Volume 12 The Rise of the Darkwalkers! Chapter 9: The Thieves' Guild
In the Eastern Continent, whether it is the Monks Guild or the Thieves Guild, however, due to a series of factors such as the vast land and sparsely populated population, the large number of alien races, etc., it is determined that their strength is not enough to influence here.
But for the Doomsday Guild, this is a pale and clean canvas, a soil that can be used to grow, they can completely paint and grow here, and when this gorgeous scene is completed, they can naturally slowly infiltrate and develop into the Middle Continent. [No pop-ups.]
This was originally a gradual process, because in order to profit from the teeth of those big forces, it was necessary to be patient and wait for many suitable opportunities, and before that, the Doomsday Guild did not need to have a conflict of interest with other forces too soon.
Therefore, in such a situation, unless there is a very special reason, Luo Lan is strictly forbidden to interfere in those things that touch other interest groups, but the parchment scroll in his hand makes Luo Lan know that there are already people alive and a power group is eyeing him.
The parchment reads: Assassination of the Bishop of Bethlehem of the Holy See of Light: Lundit V Lantistan. Reward: 30,000 gold coins.
Luo Lan quietly put away the sheepskin roll and put it in his arms.
Olenevya didn't know Luo Lan's true identity, she said: "The diocese of Bethlehem has only been established for a long time, and Bishop Lundit has not been deeply rooted here, so this task is not too difficult. ”
"But I thought this task was probably the hardest," Luo Lan smiled and said, "Because no one is stupid enough to kill themselves." ”
At the same time, the northern edge of the central continent.
With the invasion of Eastton, a powerful country in the north, the nerves of the emperors and kings of all countries here are very sharp, even a small piece of news can touch their fragile hearts, but the strange thing is that Easton's army only entered the corner of the central continent and stopped advancing, but after all, this is tens of thousands of troops, which is like a sharp sword hanging over their heads. It can fall at any time.
Now there were rumors and rumors everywhere, and the feudal lords and nobles felt a deep sense of fear, and they asked around what Emperor Odinnera I was up to.
Under such circumstances, the intelligence system of the Thieves' Guild is also operating with unprecedented efficiency, and the negotiations between the two Thieves' Guilds are going on under the clouds of war.
"What's going on?" said the female intelligence officer Lola sharply, "The north has always been the world of your Bitter Cold Thieves, and this time the Easton Empire has invaded with troops. You haven't greeted our Evil Thieves beforehand, can I see it as a declaration of war by the Bitter Thieves against the Evil Thieves?"
The middle-aged man on the other side looked at her innocently and said, "Lola intelligence officer, Odiniel I is a powerful emperor, he once said that only one person's majesty is allowed to exist where the emperor's sword is pointed, although we would like to use intelligence and other aspects to stop him from rushing to the Middle Continent." But you also see it. We did our best, though. But the effect was not satisfactory. ”
The female intelligence officer didn't pay any attention to his clever arguments, and she sneered: "Have you forgotten that the three thieves have agreed in the first place? If you want to break the rules of the game, then the criminal thieves will definitely not ignore it, and I am not sure how they will react." ”
This middle-aged man had always been kind at first, but after hearing this sentence at this moment, his face was blank, and he said coldly: "Okay." The Bitter Thieves are very lonely in the north, and we await your arrival later. ”
He stood up and walked out of the door of the conference room without looking back.
Laura was stunned for a moment, and then became angry again, she didn't expect that the other party had obviously broken the rules, but she was still so arrogant, did she think that the criminal thieves really couldn't do it? She angrily pushed a man next to her and said, "Lord Deacon." Why don't you speak?"
Archdeacon Brahms looked up from the table with a sleepy expression, and he yawned several times in succession, and said in surprise: "After talking, well, let's go." ”
"Lord Deacon, please pay attention to this negotiation!"
The intelligence officer was very annoyed by the archdeacon's irresponsible attitude at all, and she said loudly: "Do you know how serious the matter is this time? This means that the conflict between the Evil Thieves and the Chill Thieves may break out in full force, and if such a thing happens, it is really hard to imagine that the Rift Hammer Thieves in the Western Continent will take advantage of this opportunity."
"yes. Oh, yes. You're saying a good thing. Seeing the female intelligence officer's worried expression, Brahms absentmindedly focused on the food shelves next to the table. He touched his stomach, then stretched out his hand and threw a few pieces of moderately roasted steak into his mouth in succession, and said vaguely: "Miss Laura, sit down and taste it, this is a delicacy that can only be enjoyed by the nobles of the northern countries, and it is not easy to taste it once, but you can't miss it." ”
Lola snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Once the Easton Empire invades the Central Continent, you will be able to enjoy such a delicacy every day." ”
Brahms nodded and said, "Yes, you really have some truth in that. He said seriously: "I always think that those cooks in the central continent are always inferior to those nomads in the north in handling meat, and their craftsmanship is really ...... Gee. ”
Lola didn't say a word, just stood up and walked out the door.
Brahms shook his head and continued to throw a steak into his mouth.
In the corridor, Laura took a few deep breaths, this archdeacon didn't care about anything, she felt quite helpless when she met such a boss, could it be that this opportunity to bridge the relationship between the two thieves just slipped out of her hands?
No!
She clenched her fists heavily, never!
Footsteps sounded, and a young man was passing by the corridor, he looked strangely at the female intelligence officer standing at the doorway, and said, "Miss Laura, you seem to have something bothering you. Crawl_Book_Net]*"
Lola looked up, she remembered that this young man was a member of the criminal thieves group, and she had heard that he had made great achievements in Sedaon, and he had also participated in this negotiation team this time, she nodded, and said worriedly: "Deacon Brahms doesn't care about the negotiations, so go on like this." I'm afraid it's going to have unimaginable consequences. ”
A relaxed smile appeared on the young man's face and said, "Miss Intelligence Officer, if that's the case, you don't need to be in a hurry. ”
"Don't comfort me," Lola shook her head and said, "You don't understand." ”
"Not comfort. The young man smiled again: "Don't you see that the success of our negotiation actually has no impact on the final outcome of the two guilds, because the game chessboard of the high-level has already been laid out, and no matter how our chess pieces jump, it will not change the overall situation in the end." ”
"Hmm......" Laura looked up sharply and stared at the young man, "What did you say?" ”
The young man shrugged. "I mean." No matter how hard you try, nothing will change the outcome, each of us is just a pawn, this negotiation is nothing more than another means of passing information between the top leaders of the thieves, if you really think that a few words from our little people can change the overall situation. That would only add to a myriad of worries in vain. ”
The female intelligence officer sneered: "What level are you? How dare you say such a thing?" Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and said sharply: "There has been a negative mood in the negotiation team these days, is it the rumor you spread?"
"Rumors?" the young man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled casually, "Sort of." ”
"You go! The Evil Thieves don't need people like you!" the female intelligence officer pointed coldly outward and said, "If it were at the headquarters, I would order you to be executed." ”
The young man gave the female intelligence officer a playful look, and he turned his head indifferently. He walked out so easily, and as he left, he stretched out his hand and shook it in farewell, and he muttered to himself, "It's okay, maybe it's good to go to him, and I don't know if I received the commission I wrote." ”
After the young man left, the female intelligence officer stood in place, a little dazed. She knew that she hadn't driven this person away because of disgust or real anger. It's that she's scared. Because she faintly felt in her heart that this person was probably telling the truth.
I don't know how long it took, but with this doubt and confusion, she re-entered the council chamber. Brahms had just finished his last steak when he grabbed a cloth, wiped his mouth, and said, "Let's go." ”
"My lord," Laura didn't know where she got the courage, she suddenly asked in a loud voice, "My lord, did you already know that this was a boring negotiation, so you didn't have any interest, and you didn't want to spend more time in the meeting?" "Why do you say that?" Brahms smiled and said, "I just haven't eaten enough, so I haven't had the energy." ”
Laura stared at him, but said, "Is it true that the two major thieves have already made some agreement in private, and we are just going through the motions to show outsiders?"
"What are you talking about? Who told you this?" Brahms's face changed.
Lola took a step back and said, "Yes, it's the ...... who was with us at the door just now."
"Our people?" Brahms waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, where is this man?"
"Gone......"
Brahms jumped to his feet, he had never seen him so impulsive in the past few days, and he almost roared: "Find this man, find him!"
Lola was stunned and said, "I sent him away." ”
"Why?" Brahms looked at her in amazement, and there was a faint anger in his eyes, an emotion that only shows when something precious is lost.
Under such staring, Laura felt as if she had really done something wrong, and her voice was a little softer, and she snorted, "Because his words are pure nonsense." ”
"You've made a big mistake," Brahms sat down, but after a moment he suddenly jumped up again without an image, and said, "How long has he been gone?"
"About an hourglass......," Laura said uncertainly.
"Quick! send someone to chase him!" Brahms pointed outward, his forehead was beating with bruises, and his voice was almost squeezed out between his teeth, "No matter what the cost, you must find him!"
"Yes!" the female intelligence officer said nervously for the first time when she had such a fire with her boss, and for the first time she had lost her temper, "Lord Deacon, I will definitely bring him back." ”
"What did you bring back for?" Brahms looked angrily at the flamboyant-looking female intelligence officer.
Laura was a little overwhelmed, and she said blankly: "My lord, ...... are you?"
Brahms gritted his teeth and said, "Once you find it, kill it immediately!"
He spun around, grabbed his hair, and said, "By the way, what's his name?"
Lola thought for a moment and whispered, "It seems to be called...... Ka V Sabrandomon. ”
PS: It's dinner again, I got home at 1 o'clock, and the code finally came out.
