"So you're ......?" Looking at the black-cloaked man who had led him into the deep forest, Dracula's eyes narrowed slightly. The person in front of him was dressed like a man, and even with his night vision, he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Aha...... You can call me Mo...... Murphyto, I'm a thief, and I'm happy to serve you, Mr. Dragonborn. As he spoke, the man in front of Dacula slowly pinned the mask in his left hand to his waist, and then slowly pulled the hood off his head, revealing a cheek that was terrified in the moonlight.

In Dacula's sight, this guy was actually blind in one eye, and his face was full of deep and shallow scars! Looking at the shape of the wound, it is estimated that it is a wound that can only be cut by the jagged blade of the snow elf! And Dacula also noticed when he was moving, the guy in front of him actually only had one arm, otherwise the action of just pulling the hood could have been done with the other hand!

"Muffito? Very strange name......" Although the cat man's tone was puzzled, he didn't delve into it, and turned to Murfito in front of him: "Then Mephito, I'm glad you can help me take care of the few guys who just attacked me, and now I want something on them that can show their identity so that I know which sect wants my life, and what conditions do you want me to give me?" ”

"Since Mr. Dragonborn needs it, I'm glad to give it to you, it's of no value to me......" said the man who called himself Murphyto, taking a note from his bosom and handing it to Dalcula.

"Wait...... So you mean nothing? Dacula looked at Murfito in front of him, and his eyes gradually showed suspicion.

"Of course not, I just want to gain the friendship and trust of a Dragonborn...... Although this small piece of information may not gain much trust from the Dragonborn...... "Murfito said this respectfully, very sincerely.

However, this obviously did not dispel Dacula's vigilance, and he took the note from Murfito's hand with suspicion and said, "Very well, you have already gained my friendship, but if you still want the trust of the Dragonborn, I need to see how you do next." ”

Though wary, Dacula classified the thief in front of him as the opportunists who approached him with an unknown purpose, whether good or bad, in order to make a greater profit for themselves. So for Murphyto, Dacula's final decision was to look at the situation first and see what the aftermath would be. After all, that Wei Xu has a few followers behind him, so his status as a dragon-slaying dragon descendant shouldn't be lower than that guy, right?

……

Yar border, Kas Delta.

After the old crow Igrod ran away and Baghlouf abandoned the area to the Empire, the Senate and the Imperial Legions had gradually moved to this area. It is said that at the beginning, the Senate stubbornly refused to move the Imperial soldiers here, but it is not known what method Evsis used, and the proposal was finally approved by the Senate anyway. So there is the current Kas Delta Empire station.

"General, what did you say the Senate summoned us to do today?" Governor Regie followed Tullius and asked him softly.

In response to Ricky's question, Tulius didn't even look at her and replied directly: "We are the sword of the empire, and we will point wherever the empire wants us to point!" We are the shield of the Empire, and we will defend against whomever the Empire wants us to defend! ”

"Yes! My lord! Listening to Tulius's answer, Ricky hurriedly straightened up and replied loudly. Behind them, there were several other Imperial officers with curious faces, all of them all with solemn faces, not at all as curious as they had just overheard the conversation between General Tulius and Governor Ricky.

After replying to Ricky's questions, Tulius gently straightened his armor, forcibly suppressed the uneasy thought in his heart, and continued to walk towards the place where the Senate was.

Disturbed? Of course uneasy! This was arguably the most unsettling of Tullius since he took charge of the Imperial Legion. Behind him, Governor Rigi, the officer he had recently promoted, Hadawa, and a dozen or so high-ranking officers were his henchmen...... This kind of summoning is really unprecedented, if the Senate wants to do it to itself here, then so many of them will really be silently and all explained here, and even be labeled as a rebellion in the end!

What's going on? Could it be that the Empire has lost even the most basic trust in itself? They have never interfered in any affairs of the empire for so many years, why are they ready to do it to themselves?

Tulius comforted himself more than once, deceiving himself into thinking that this time he was rumored that the Senate was just for them to reward themselves and others, and that the elders of the Senate who had worked hard for so many years also saw it in their eyes, and they would not lose trust in themselves. But the more he was paralyzed, the more he felt the danger of Tulius, mixed with the danger of a bone-chilling cold......

"Mistress Rigi...... We...... Are you really going? Hadava, who was following Ricky, looked at the growing number of heavily armed Hawkeye legions around him, and asked softly to the Red Guard woman in front of him. These Hawkeyes have been the guards of the Senate since the death of the Emperor and the highest leader of the Hawkeye Legion, Marlowe, and they are only at the disposal of the Senate. However, under normal circumstances, the work of guarding the Senate is carried out by Imperial soldiers and Hawkeye, and it is strange that not even a single Imperial soldier can be seen today.

Hadava's question was not answered by Rij, and the atmosphere was oppressive, and as the door of the Senate drew closer, everyone could only hear their own footsteps and their own heavy breathing.

"Lord Tulius, please wait outside for a while, and I'll go in and inform the elders and ministers." The Hawkeye officer at the head of the door, Turius, knew his comrades who had fought in the same trench as him. As he spoke, his palm rested between his waist and crotch and pushed it softly. The warriors of this action empire know it, especially for those who have been scouts. This gesture represents danger ahead, retreat quickly!

However, as if he hadn't seen this gesture, Tulius raised his head and looked at the eagle-eyed officer in front of him and said, "We are waiting here, please pass it on as soon as possible......"

"This ......" The eagle-eyed officer was already sweating profusely, but looking at Tulius' determined eyes, he finally gave up the idea of continuing to ask them to retreat, and glanced at this former comrade-in-arms lightly and said, "Okay, you can wait a minute......"

After saying that, the warrior didn't say a word, and turned around and walked directly into the gate......
