"Why are you here too?"

"Carrying out the task, of course. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Aren't you shadows on the side of the nobility?"

“…… Even if you are a faction, you still need to gather the necessary information. ”

On the dark roof, Kima, who was finally sure that there was no movement around him, slowly straightened up, and then sat down on the eaves and looked at the spired house opposite: "What's more...... Someone seems to have visited this place. ”

"Isn't this the command post of the City Guard?" Duan Qing asked in a slightly surprised manner.

"Here's what you got from Hank."

Kima, dressed as an aristocrat, took off her black top hat: "What an unprofessional guy......"

"They're a little worse than you professionals."

After carefully confirming the movements around him, Duan Qing finally let go of his vigilant posture, and then learned from the other party's appearance, and slowly sat down on the edge of the roof next to Kima: "But the person who does this kind of thing is a real word, at least ...... They don't have a position like yours. ”

“…… I've been concerned before, how did you realize that we were in camp? Kima half-bent her body, as if trying to observe the situation ahead: "Could it be that my warning has the opposite effect?" ”

"When I went to look for you before, Wiesel defended the nobles once, and then you found me again and warned me not to continue to entangle with the Valia Tavern......," Duan Qing said in a low voice, "Actually, since I heard the little bit of information that Wiesel revealed, I have already become suspicious of him. ”

"There are too few people who know where the Speaker is." In the dark, he grinned: "Including the state of the guards at night, the time of the shift change...... Few people can know. ”

“…… So what? Kima's eyes skewed: "Didn't the attackers fail in the end?" ”

"There were only two of them."

Duan Qing shook his head gently: "One of them is still a parallel import, so ...... To that extent, it is impossible to do so without sufficient intelligence as the bottom line. ”

"Judging by the confidence they showed at the time...... They must have been prepared a lot. ”

His eyes condensed slightly, and Duan Qing's gaze also fell on the spired eaves opposite: "So, the final question becomes...... How do they know? ”

“…… So you want to say, it's those nobles on our heads who leaked secrets? Kima asked in a low voice.

"Why, you don't know?"

“…… I'm just an ordinary enforcer of the Shadow Society. Kima shook her head and replied, "Why should I know this?" ”

"You don't look like an ordinary executor."

Looking at the small earrings in the other party's ears, Duan Qing's eyes gradually narrowed: "Otherwise, you won't be idle and come to warn me." ”

"Tell me about it, you...... Or what do you know? ”

"Why ...... I"

"Don't say anything that has nothing to do with me."

Duan Qing turned his head: "Otherwise, I wouldn't be squatting here." ”

“…… All right. ”

Playing with his politeness in his hand, Kima's gaze gradually raised, as if it was placed in the night sky above: "Actually, we don't know much, at most...... The attitude of the aristocracy was just that. ”

He clenched one hand, suddenly jumped off the roof in one step, and then whispered in the figure that Duan Qing followed: "Our shadows will be all over the world, not too much, no less, but one ...... It's one of the necessary reasons for us to survive. ”

"We can help others...... Do something they can't do. Two steps to the wall of the target building, Kima explained without looking back, "You know what I mean, right? ”

"Your purpose...... It really fits in well with those nobles. Recalling the history he had heard in the library, Duan Qing replied in a low voice, "Is this your way of survival?" ”

"And that's not all."

After waiting patiently for two seconds, Kima lowered her head, and then walked out with a calm step as the two guards happened to pass across the crossing: "But...... In Tania, this is really the best way for us to survive. ”

"Makes sense." Duan Qing bowed his head and agreed: "In this way, you can still catch their handles, what a wonderful cooperation." ”

“…… At the moment we don't have the idea of falling out. Kima glanced back at Duan Qing: "It shouldn't be in the future." ”

"Why, do you really want to be in the same boat?"

“…… Right and wrong are originally a two-sided attitude. ”

Stopping in the shadows in front of another intersection, the man in the dress lowered his head, and then pressed the top hat in his hand to his head again: "Maybe in the eyes of you adventurers, the nobles are indeed a bunch of out-and-out bastards, and the so-called warrior family is the one who can be trusted, but according to our observations, the so-called nobles ...... It's just a group of poor people who have to struggle for their goals. ”

"It's like this war."

“…… Aren't they against the participation of adventurers in the war? Duan Qing asked in a low voice, "Could it be that this is also for the future of the principality?" ”

"The future of their family, to be exact."

Kima retracted his head, then closed his eyes: "Even if the principality is destroyed, as long as they themselves are not destroyed...... The result is acceptable. ”

“…… Isn't this treason? Duan Qing's eyes immediately widened: "Could it be that they have already compromised with the empire?" ”

"Yes, it's not."

Kima glanced back at Duan Qing: "They...... It is the most neutral party. ”

The figure in the dark suddenly disappeared in front of Duan Qing, and then appeared by the wall of the intersection after the turn, and a guard stationed there was immediately grabbed by the neck by a pair of hands without warning, and then fell silently. On the other side of the gate of the spire-like building, another guard, who noticed the movement, immediately turned around, then raised the spear in his hand and pointed at the man in the dress standing in the backlight in front of him: "You ......! ”

Boom.

The ethereal echo sounded in the back of his head the next moment, he snorted, and then fell down very neatly, gradually revealing the figure of Duan Qing behind him: "Next time you go up, can you notify me in advance?" ”

"After the last hospital incident......" Kima glanced at the other party with disdain: "Do you think there will be people who will underestimate you?" ”

“…… So how do you people know? ”

Muttering these complaining words in his mouth, Duan Qing followed the other party's example, finished disposing of the two bodies that fell to the ground, and then followed behind the other party, quietly sneaking into the building: "The nobles are the neutral side? Why do you say that? ”

"Forts had never wavered in the face of the changing situation, and he had already figured out how to deal with the Empire's invasion." Walking calmly in the corridor inside the command post, Kima replied without looking back: "In his eyes, those arguments with the plebeian faction and the Pamirs are just a boring and ridiculous time, and they will not actually have any effect on the decisions that have been made on his side." It's just that some other uncertain factors were added later, plus some internal ...... Differences of opinion, these plans were later slightly changed. ”

"Let me guess...... The so-called uncertainties don't refer to us adventurers, right? Duan Qing asked in a low voice, "For example, the rivers and lakes or the sword of justice or something......

"You are indeed one of them."

The man in the black dress slowed his pace again: "But the most important thing is ...... Or the Pamirs' counterattack. ”

"The Adventurer's Act?"

"Fortes thinks that's the last resort for the Speaker to get rid of Parliament." There was a hint of helplessness in Kima's tone: "At the end of the day...... He is still afraid that you hard-working adventurers will become the last bargaining chip for the Pamirs. ”

"Sounds wonderful." Duan Qing replied disdainfully: "It's a pity that the principality is gone now, and there must not be many adventurers who will bet on this side......

"At least at the time, the situation in the principality was not like this."

Stopping in front of a lighted door, Kima stopped and listened for a moment: "They're not here...... Let's go to the second floor. ”

"The stairs are in the ...... Well, I'll follow you anyway. Duan Qing shook his head indifferently: "So what about now?" The current principality...... Have you not given up hope? ”

"The problem is not about us."

Quietly glancing towards the top of the staircase, Kima gestured to Duan Qing: "It's up to you." ”

"You have not given up your resistance." He whispered, "Even the adventurers on the Empire's side too. ”

“…… So we've been doing things all along? Duan Qing pursed his lips, and then showed a wry smile: "But speaking of which...... It seems that this is indeed the case. ”

"The explosion before the Fars Fortress and the fall of the previous days are all behind the shadow of your adventurers." Kima sarcastically said mercilessly, "Including the two prisoners who assassinated the Speaker...... After our preliminary investigation, it seems that it is also two unknown adventurers, and your efforts have reached the point where they are enough to create a war between the two countries, and even the arrival of Farr Cold is inextricably linked to your adventurers. ”

"Hey, don't mess with your hat, okay? Do you still want to ...... that water mage's convulsions?"

Duan Qing, who was halfway through speaking, suddenly stopped talking, and then looked at the playful gaze that was projecting back from the top of the spiral staircase: "Yes, it's you." ”

"You can see your shadow from the source of all destiny." He chuckled, "Destiny's favorer." ”

“…… Joke. ”

The light in his eyes condensed for a while, and Duan Qing immediately shook his head, dispelling a certain memory and sudden thought that appeared in his mind: "It's all just chance and fate, how can it all depend on me......"

"Every casual choice you make has the potential to make immeasurable changes in the world."

Duan Qing's words choked again, but the next moment, the serious gaze projected by Kima gradually softened: "This is a famous quote that Mesterdi once said. ”

“…… Which god stick is this? ”

"The ancestor of the Weaver of Destiny, the first Weaver of Destiny." Kima's gaze gradually faded as his figure disappeared: "He is also the founder of the 'Silk Thread of Destiny'." ”

"It sounds powerful, but I've never heard of it." Duan Qing spread his hands meaninglessly: "So what does this have to do with me?" ”

"Maybe there is, maybe not."

Unexpectedly, Kima, who was walking in front, gave up the verbal confrontation with Duan Qing: "I won't force you to do anything, it's like ......"

"It's like you're going to follow me to this place tonight."

"Hey, I'm here first, okay?" Duan Qing immediately retorted: "Although I don't want to fight with you for anything, I still have to ...... this point."

"Shh......h

The warning voice came suddenly, and then gradually subsided as Kima suddenly lowered her body: "Someone. ”

“…… I thought we could do a lot of searching. ”

Duan Qing, who approached, also lowered his voice: "Who is it?" ”

"Maybe it's the vice-captain of the city guard, or maybe it's a squad leader." Kima replied intently, "Of course ......"

"It could also be the person I'm looking for."

"Maybe it's someone I'm looking for......"

Muttering these words in his mouth, Duan Qing quietly followed behind someone, and then, with an almost imperceptible breathing sound, he stuck to a certain wooden door in the deepest part of the second floor: "...... That's it for now, Lord Barnes. ”

"I'm not here to interrogate, Mr. Boris, so please don't be so nervous."

As the two pairs of ears approached, the conversation between the two people inside the door gradually became clear in their ears: "I just want to clarify one thing, our President...... We attach great importance to the work of urban defense and security. ”

"I understand, Lord Barnes, but many commanders, including General Tasker, have already gone out to fight the enemy, so ......"

"I know, I know." Another voice interrupted the other party, and then slowly came to the side of the door with the movement of the body: "Those of us who are subordinates don't always do our best for the work of our bosses, so I understand it too...... These difficulties that you are experiencing now. ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

"Your Excellency the President can help." The man's voice turned to the inside of the room, "We...... There are also a lot of manpower that can be drawn out. ”

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but that doesn't seem to be in order......"

"These are extraordinary times." The voice was getting farther and farther away, and it seemed to follow the person's pace back to the center of the room, but Duan Qing, who was attached to his ear, understood that it was the effect of the other party's deliberate suppression: "Today, when betrayers are everywhere and fugitives are flying around, the situation in the city is still very unstable, so ...... Maintaining the stability of this place comes first, doesn't it? ”

"Trust Tasker...... And the rest of the Duchy will be happy to see your efforts. A shoulder tap followed: "And your generosity...... Your Excellency will personally thank you. ”

“…… Not. ”

A long nasal voice then echoed around the room, it was the muffled sound of another person's hesitation, but Duan Qing didn't seem to pay attention to the conversation inside the door, because next to him, the man in the black dress had already opened his eyes wide, staring at Duan Qing's face slightly blankly.

"This ...... Bastard. ”

He clenched his fists and looked like he was gritting his teeth.
