The night wind blew through Hollaika's long thick hair.

Compared to the time required by the convoy, Hollaika, who traveled alone, was almost twice as fast, and he returned to Etannoborg a day early.

There was no city gate.

Instead, he infiltrated through a hidden passage under the wall on one side.

This secret passage does not lead directly into Etantoinople, but down the stairs.

Naturally, the secret passages belonging to the 'Silent Night Secret Order' must be heavily guarded.

When Holleka had just walked down the stairs—

"Who?"

A low shout rang out from the shadows.

Hollaika didn't say anything and threw a token over.

After a few moments, the token was respectfully handed out.

"Please slow down, Your Excellency the Undead."

The guard said respectfully.

In the 'Silent Night Secret Order', in addition to the high-ranking councillors, the name of the 'undead' Carlisjo is absolutely loud, and even, to some extent, beyond the councillors.

After all, the seventeen councillors are high, and it is difficult for the people at the bottom to contact them, but they have more contact with field personnel such as Hollaika and Lunkar.

In the face of such a respectful voice, Hollaika maintained her previous posture.

The towering cheekbones are full of arrogance, but there is a hint of essence hidden in the narrow eyes.

He hadn't forgotten his identity as a 'snake faction'.

If it weren't for his mentor's repeated instructions, he would have been eager to burn this place down with a fire to avenge the dead witchers.

The wolf faction is in the Ming.

The snake pie is in the dark.

For the sake of safety, the two sides rarely communicate, but this does not mean indifference.

According to Hollaika's knowledge, the Snake Sect has secretly helped the Wolf Faction countless times, and the former leader of the Wolf Faction has also given the Snake Faction corresponding support countless times.

It's a pity......

After that catastrophe, with the death of the leader of the wolf faction, the relationship between the two sides was severed all at once.

Of course, it's not the only one.

'There are evildoers hidden in the wolf faction! ’

Thinking of her mentor's words, Hollaika's heart tightened.

It's clear that the Silent Night Order is doing the same thing as the Serpent Sect.

And his mission this time is to find the possible 'shadows'.

This is not a simple matter.

Especially if he has to keep himself safe.

However, Hollaika did not flinch at all.

"Snake, hide in the fog."

"Serpent, walk and shadow."

"I'm a professional in lurking in the detectives, so let's be more professional than anyone else now!"

Hollaika said silently in her heart.

Then, he strode forward.

This is a corridor, and after passing through the corridor, it is a staircase that continues down.

This was repeated several times, and when it came to a position hundreds of meters deep underground, a town appeared.

Well-planned homes.

Taverns, stables, and blacksmith shops are all available.

'Silent Night Town'!

This is the largest stronghold of the 'Silent Night Secret Order' known to Hollaika, and it is inhabited by members of the 'Silent Night Secret Society' and their families.

It's not the peripheral kind.

Those people don't know about this at all.

The people who can appear here are all people who have been tested and recognized, and they belong to the backbone of the lower echelons of the 'Silent Night Secret Order'.

Of course, Hollaika doesn't live here.

He has a better and more suitable place.

I'm here just to 'deliver a mission'.

The person in charge here is the head of the field staff, and there are rumors that the other party will compete for the next 'councillor'.

For this rumor, Hollaika did not believe it at all.

Because, he knew, what the so-called 'councilor' of the 'Silent Night Secret Order' represented, that is, to transcend the limits of human beings and move towards the existence of gods.

Obviously, this is nothing more than a smoke bomb released by the other party in order to better manage the town.

Hollaika didn't mean to say it.

All those who saw Hollaika bowed and saluted.

Holleka looked indifferent and walked into the other party's office.

This is a thin middle-aged man, and the robe woven with gold thread is worn on the other person's body, as if hanging on a bamboo pole, and as the other person stands up, it becomes swaying.

"Welcome back, Carlisle."

"How's Sika City?"

"Have you seen the rumored worms hiding in the shadows?"

"They won't be as pitiful and helpless as the dogs we hunted, right?"

The other party's tone was enthusiastic, and when he mentioned the snake faction, he showed his disdain just right.

"See."

"Very strong."

Hollaika said coldly.

This is not because the other party is ridiculing the anger of the snake faction and the wolf faction, but it is that Hollaika usually treats the other people of the 'Silent Night Secret Order' with this attitude.

"Don't be so cold."

"We're acquaintances, aren't we?"

"What about the 'fog' church?"

"What did you hear?"

The other party asked with a grin, not in the slightest angry at Hollaika's attitude.

"Milne, we don't know each other."

"'Mist' is already a demigod!"

"He has a lot to do with the Serpent Sect."

Hollaika emphasized a sentence and said truthfully.

This information cannot be hidden.

Even if he doesn't say it, if he changes someone to investigate, he will soon be able to investigate some cats, rather than this, it is better to say it generously and save the complications.

As for the strength of the 'Silent Night Secret Order', Hollaika knows it.

"Is that so?"

"Okay, I got it."

"This is your bounty for this mission, and if you need any special services, I can help you out."

Milne nodded, then handed Kimpton a bag to Hollaika.

"No, I don't."

Holleka picked up Kimpton and left.

Looking at the other party's back, Milne immediately restrained his smile.

"Humph!"

"What a guy who doesn't know what to do."

"Sooner or later, you'll regret it."

Milne bared his teeth and muttered to himself fiercely, and then, with a playful look on his face again, he walked to the back of the office.

Here, there are two falcons.

Milne picked up the secret letter he had just written, tied it to the leg of one of the falcons, and directly released the falcon's restraints, and immediately, the falcon burrowed into the flight passage and disappeared.

It's not that there is no quicker way.

It's just, it's not safe!

The use of teleportation-type secret techniques in Etantoinoburg has a high chance of being discovered by the Temple of War.

And he doesn't have the power to cover everything.

Therefore, the falcon of communication has become a must.

Then, he tied another secret letter to the remaining falcon's leg and let it fly as well.

Of course, two falcons don't go to the same place.

Naturally, the person who received the secret letter could not be one.

After listening to the falcon's voice disappear in the passage, Milne hurried back to his studio, where he sat down in his chair again, trying to hide a playful look on his face.

But that excitement can't be hidden.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"I've got to catch it!"

Milne thought to himself.

……

Wheelkar, dressed in a comfortable robe, sat in a chair.

In front of him was a small round coffee table with a porcelain teapot and teacups as white as milk.

Shipped from the East, it is highly valued and one of Lunkar's favorite tea sets.

In the same way, tea is an expensive product equivalent to gold.

At this moment, it was cut by a silver tea knife, and it was placed on the porcelain plate in an orderly manner, and the dark green small tea bricks and the milky white porcelain plate formed a rather charming picture.

This is something that Lunkar deliberately learns in order to entertain the upcoming big shots.

Just like that set of porcelain tea sets, most of the time, he will not take it out, since it is taken out to entertain guests, it must be perfect.

Minutes and seconds passed.

When there was a knock on the door, Lunkar almost rushed to the door and opened it.

"Good evening, Councillor Coripo."

Wheelkal respectfully addressed the man in front of him who was wearing a cloak and covering all his faces with a large hood.

The other party bowed slightly, and after entering the room, he took off his hood and showed a smile.

The old face, with this smile, became more and more furrowed.

However, a pair of bright eyes make the other party's age not look so big.

"Good evening, Wheelcar."

"Is this tea from Yoshiki?"

"I really can't wait to give it a try."

Coripo looked at the tea set and tea leaves on the table, looking impatient.

"Please wait."

Lunkar wanted to flatter the councillor and show his humility, but he still remembered the tea master's teachings and tried his best not to be arrogant or humble.

However, the waist is not straight at all.

You can only bend your shoulders and make yourself look like you're upright, like an ostrich.

However, the posture of manipulating the tea set is very standard.

This is also what Lunkar has learned so hard.

Since you can't hide your weaknesses, use your strengths to attract attention! ’

He remembered the words of the tea master.

From boiling water to making tea, step by step is meticulous.

When the hot water was thrown high into the teacup, and the smell of tea spread, Milne held the teacup in both hands, half-bent over, and handed the teacup to Corypo.

"Please."

According to the tea master, this sound should be clear.

But when it came to Lunkar, only clear flattery remained.

Corypo, who took the teacup and did not dislike the tea soup at all, squinted his eyes after drinking it all, as if he was reminiscing about the aroma of tea, and after a few seconds, he smiled: "Not bad." ”

Hearing this compliment, Lunkar finally relieved his heart.

Obviously, the investigation of the 'undead' should be similar to his statement.

There may be some differences, but what is it?

Obviously, he, the 'instigator', is not as clear as the 'undead' investigation.

If it's all the same, how can the 'undead' become the trump card among the field staff?

"Your Excellency, would you like another drink?"

"It is rumored that Yoshiki's tea is more fragrant the more you go to the back."

Lunkar said.

"Haven't you drunk it?"

Corypo asked, placing the teacup down.

"Of course not."

"You must know that Yoshishu's tea is really rare, and it is basically priceless in Etaninburgh."

"Most people who want to drink Jishu tea have to book it from the Cheka Bay in the south, and a boat to and from the east takes at least five months, which is too long."

"Thanks to you, I drank it."

Talking about the difficulty of getting the tea, Lunkar had a slightly exaggerated smile of happiness on his face.

In fact, Lunkar was eager to exaggerate the former's hardship tenfold.

Because the more difficult it is, the more humble it is, and the more noble it is for the other party.

However, Lunkal, who knew who the other party was, didn't dare to come randomly.

The truth of going too far, Lunkar understands.

And if there is another deception?

Then he really has to wait for death.

Councillor Coripoe nodded in satisfaction, apparently pleased with Lunkar's unoverstated honesty.

He drank the tea in his cup again and spoke.

"Carlisle Ho is back."

Although he already knew the result, Lunkar still sat up straight and looked like he was listening.

"He confirmed the existence of the 'Snake Sect'."

"The relationship between the 'Snake Sect' and the 'Mist' has also been confirmed."

"But ......"

"But no more."

Corypo paused, and his eyes looked at Lunkar.

Lunkar understood, and he knew exactly what the Corypo councillor wanted to do.

There is no doubt about the power of the 'Silent Night Secret Order'.

Especially after the 'Black Plague', this kind of power has almost reached a peak.

The pendulum will swing!

When the peak appears, there will inevitably be a short downhill road - the seventeen councillors who have fought together seem to have some problems because of the 'black plague'.

Wheel Karl did not know what it was.

However, he knew that the councillor in front of him, Corypo, and the other councillor, 'Gersack', were in a-for-tat relationship.

As it happens, the 'Undead' is just as direct to Councillor Gersack as he is to Corypo.

And their position is no longer beyond the control of a so-called field director in Milne.

In the same way, their status is closely related to the legislators to whom they are allegiated.

So, Lunkar took a deep breath.

"With the ability of the 'undead', the investigation must be much more detailed than mine."

"At this point, it's hard for me to outdo the other side."

"But we also have our strengths."

"Do you remember our captives in the prison?"

Lunkar bent over to Councillor Corypoe and whispered.

When Lunkar mentioned the captives, Councillor Corypo immediately guessed what the subordinate was trying to do, and immediately smiled.

"Do what you want."

"I don't want Gersack to be in the limelight at the next meeting of the Legislatures, understand?"

Councillor Coripo said.

"Understood."

Lunkar replied categorically.

"Good."

Councillor Corypo stood up, patted Wheelkar on the shoulder, and slowly left the house in the Central 2nd Ring Road with the latter's flattered expression.

The door slowly closed, and in respect, Lunkar stood in front of the window, watching the councillor leave.

It wasn't until the other party hid in the shadows that he picked up his coat, put on his cloak, and walked briskly towards an extremely secret location.

Here and the prison stop by.

It was carefully selected by Wheel Carl.

Walking along the shadows, Lunkar did not show any flaws, except that he knocked lightly three times, one long and two short, as he passed the back window of a house.

Then, as if nothing happened, Lunkar continued on his way.

But just a dozen seconds later, a man appeared in the shadows ahead.

Looking at the figure in front of him, Lunkar showed a smile, and he greeted softly-

"Good evening, 'the undead'."
