Eventually, the battle in the tavern came to an end when the Nightspawn killers seemed to be ordered to retreat from the pitch-black tavern hall.

Arno Altaïr and the tavernkeeper named Scott survived the battle. When the members of the Brotherhood of Thieves re-lit the oil lamps and a few candles in the hall on the first floor, the people present found that the floor was littered with dead people, the corpses of the Brotherhood and the Nightspawn Killers mingled, the smell of blood filling the room, and wine glasses, plates, drinks, and food had already been knocked over everywhere in the scuffle.

A scene of disarray replaced the atmosphere of laughter in the tavern not long ago, and the members of the Brotherhood of Thieves quickly counted the list of the living and the dead under the command of Arno and Scott, and then went upstairs to find Locke, who was mortally wounded and fainted, Arroyo and Ferrandon who had come down from the third floor of the tavern after the battle, and Raymond, who had almost died of blood loss.

Yes, almost—Raymond, whose left chest was pierced by Gascoll's blood gun, did not die immediately, thanks to one thing that made his body anatomy different from that of ordinary people, and that was that his heart was on the right.

This caused him to brush shoulders with the scythe of death, and the Brotherhood members in the tavern immediately administered first aid to Arroyo at the anxious urging of Arroyo, and then several men found two stretchers and carried them into a room on the second floor of the tavern with Locke, who was less injured than him, and placed them on the bed, where they were left to take care of them.

After placing all the wounded of Raymond, Locke, and the Brotherhood, Arno and Scott exchanged glances and opinions with each other, and then summoned the uninjured and uninjured people in the tavern back to the lobby on the first floor of the tavern to prepare for an impromptu meeting.

The people who gathered in the hall on the first floor to participate in the meeting were all members of the Brotherhood of Thieves. Including Arroyo and Ferrandon, who had recovered a little from his weakened state just now.

According to Scott's original idea, the appearance of the Nightsborn proves that the Nightborn are indeed entrenched in the city of Boniguez as they suspected, and the scarlet eyes in the eyes of the killers seem to inadvertently tell the members of the Brotherhood about their sordid dealings with the vampires, reminiscent of the rumored deplorables who have fallen into the Bloodline and become half-bloods.

When the Nightsborn's collusion with the vampires is revealed through this unsuccessful attack, the Brotherhood thieves thought that was all behind the whole affair - but to their surprise, a group of people in charge of cleaning up the scene accidentally found a guy who was not dead from the corpses of several Nightspawn killers.

The lucky – or rather unlucky – guy immediately caught Arno's attention. His mind was quite conscious after a brief trance after waking up. His body, which had been stabbed by a knife, looked like it was about to collapse at any moment, but it was forcibly supported by the evil bloodline in his body, and his ability to heal itself barely exceeded the rate of blood loss.

Several members of the Brotherhood who discovered the Nightspawn Killer then brought him to Arno and Scott.

As a member of the Brotherhood of Thieves, Arno Altaïr had a keen sense of power play and a skilled and effective interrogation method, with the exception of soulless low-level undead, who were few captives who did not bow to him.

So soon after, under Arno's interrogation, the killer who survived chose to confess and tell everyone present. It is said that this night raid was the ruler of Boenigs, and that the high-ranking Singlad man instructed a vampire named Gasco to instruct and lead them here to do so.

The news that Arno had dug out of the killer's mouth immediately shocked all the thieves in the lobby on the first floor of the tavern. After a brief moment of surprise, Arroyo and Ferrandon sat at a round table and watched the scene in a daze, before noticing that Arno seemed to be the first to recover from his stunned state, raising his hand and motioning for several members of the Brotherhood to take the Nightspawn killer he had interrogated down, turning around and pursing his lips hesitantly, then taking a deep breath and raising his voice, "Brothers." The pattern of Boenigs no longer needs us to continue to lie dormant in silence, and the tyrannical lord has written his sins on the people of the city. It's time for the Inquisitors who cultivate the darkness and serve the light! ”

There was a kind of incendiary ferventness in his voice, and the hearts of the thieves present were somewhat reflexively ignited by his words, but those who were a little sane calmed down and thought about it, and found that Arno's thoughts seemed to be hovering on the edge of a very dangerous cliff - for many people could hear in an instant that their companion from the upper echelons of the Order seemed to be trying to overthrow the legitimate rule of a noble lord?

"Wait. Arno, are you crazy? Scott immediately got up from his seat, he pressed his hands on the bar of the tavern, and the movement of his rise made everyone's eyes converge on him, "You want to overthrow the order of the kingdom?" Is it still at this juncture where you know that the other party is in collusion with vampires and those killers? ”

"I'm sober. Scott. Hearing Scott's puzzled questioning, Arno Altaïr calmly returned to the bar and sat opposite Scott with his hands together and his chin in a posture, his gaze under the hood slightly raised to his old friend, "Secondly, it is not Violet that I want to overthrow, but only Singer, the brute who dares to trample on the dignity of others with impunity just because he has a baronal title." Believe me, old man, at this juncture, the resentment that the commoners of Bunigs have accumulated day after day against Baron Singler has reached a bottleneck, and it only takes the last spark to ignite it completely, and the time is at its most ripe. ”

"But he's the baron of the kingdom." Scott lowered his head and stared at Arno's eyes, which were hidden under the hood, and the emotion in his tone was more helpless than puzzled.

Because even if it's a beast, it's a nobleman.

Living in this era, everyone in the human kingdom understands a truth, that is, behind any nobleman is always a country's deep-rooted ruling order, and the peasant uprisings in history have also overthrown the local rule of many feudal lords, but when the commoners rise up, they are also branded as rebels, thus becoming a nail in the eyes of the ruler of the kingdom that must be suppressed by force.

For a while, because of this well-known common sense, although Arno's words were quite authoritative within the Brotherhood, most of the thieves of the Brotherhood were unable to make a final decision in a short time, so the atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell silent. Arroyo sat in the same hall as the thieves, and his mind was as uncertain as most.

At that moment, the staircase connecting the first and second floors of the tavern suddenly heard the sound of footsteps.

Everyone's attention then shifted to that side in an atmosphere of silence. Following the eyes of the thieves and Ferrandon, Arroyo immediately cast his gaze in the direction of the stairs, and then was stunned to find that Raymond, whose upper body was bandaged like a half-mummy, was holding on to the handrails of the stairs with difficulty, limping down the stairs one step at a time.

It's a transitional chapter of all evils again...... So we're not good at writing transition chapters at all (hugging our heads/wailing)

All in all, this and the next chapter are planned to let you know what the characters in the story are going to do next, and then it's the final climax of this branching route, which ends the deadly acrobatic show and returns to the main story. If you feel that the plot is unreasonable, you should feed the dog with our IQ suddenly.

In addition, the recent situation in reality: I am about to graduate from a college and junior college, and I have not passed English level 3 (vomiting blood), so I review English every day, prepare for various professional course exams, contact internship units, and find opportunities to upgrade to a college so I try hard...... Ah, it looks like it's going to take a while (look up/look at the sky)

Well, so this book will be broken from time to time in the last few weeks, but it still promises not to break the roots, everyone thinks that it is slower and can be put down to raise first, and we will continue to write about poor grades, so please don't worry about the problem of raising death (oops, you can't raise it, how can you raise it to death?) Is MadeLabor a professional size dog? Professional code dogs can't write this kind of subject? 0 words are written to 60w words, how do you enter the palace when you have a temperance, you tell me? Directly A face on the ...... Ahh )
