Cassius's face changed, and he quickly took the candy box and opened it to check. Fortunately, this is indeed a kind of Grancel specialty halva, which is very popular with tourists from other places, and has already made children eat to the bottom. Cassius touched the bottom of the candy box with his fingers, lifted it lightly, and pulled out a note from the bottom of the candy box.

"Dear Mr. Cassius,

Sorry to bother you in this way. I have come from the Republic in particular, and I wish to meet you about some disturbing events that have taken place in the Republic recently. I don't know if you've been in Loliente a lot lately, but I'll be staying there for a few days, and every day at 1 p.m., I'll be at the alfresco café at the Attban Tavern for a while, and I hope you'll be able to make the time.

I am here at great risk and hope that you will not share the contents of this letter with anyone else (including the guerrillas!!

Sincerely

S”

Estelle pounced curiously: "Dad, why is there a letter under the candy box?" ”

Cassius pretended not to care: "This is a letter from someone else to me, and I stuffed it in by the way when I was buying you candy." Let's study what stories to tell in the evening. He talked about his daughter perfunctorily, but in his heart he wondered what kind of mysterious event this would be.

One o'clock in the afternoon the next day. Cassius arrived at the Tavern of Artban in the city on time and sat down at the open-air café. He ordered a casual drink and secretly observed the crowd around him.

Like, there are no unfamiliar faces worth noting.

Not far away, in the shade of a tree, Duchamp also found his target. In addition to the notoriously mustache and brown hair, the level displayed in the radar also betrays the Juggernaut.

He walked out of the woods and went to the tea house, muttering to himself in his heart, the level of up to 127 is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Cassius was looking around when he caught a glimpse of a new face walking around the corner. It was a young man with a pale face, dressed in casual clothes, and looked mediocre in strength.

The young man looked around the café, walked over to the table where Cassius was sitting, and asked, "May I ask if I can sit here?" ”

"Please."

The man said to the hostess who came by, "Please bring me a cup of black tea." Watching the hospitality walk away, he introduced himself: "I took the liberty to meet, and I haven't asked your surname yet." ”

Cassius raised his eyebrows slightly and introduced himself: "Cassius Bright." ”

The young man smiled happily, "Thank you very much for taking the time to come, Mr. Swordmaster. ”

Cassius was a little disappointed in his heart, such a young man must not have anything too special.

The young man pulled his seat a little closer and said, "Actually, I have come here this time because I want to entrust you with a special matter, but I don't have a reward that can match this matter, so please forgive me." ”

Cassius smiled and encouraged: "Guerrillas don't necessarily have to be paid for accepting commissions, you can talk about it first." ”

The young man leaned his head closer and said in a low voice, "I don't know if you have noticed that the current law and order in the republic is very chaotic, and many people, especially children, are missing. ”

Cassius looked at the young man in amazement, he didn't expect it to happen.

As a guerrilla, of course he knew about the riots in Calvard, and the Guerrilla Association was now doing its best to assist in the investigation of this incident, and even the guerrilla branch of the Republic of Calvard was asking other guerrilla elites on the mainland to come to his aid, and he had already received an invitation.

Cassius said in a deep voice: "If there are any clues related to this matter, please also state that this matter is the responsibility of the guerrillas, and you will not be charged any commission fees." ”

The young man whispered in a barely audible voice, "I have heard that in the republic, there are people who have renounced their faith in the goddess and joined a mysterious organization, secretly worshipping their own gods, and believing that by sacrificing young children and blood, they can gain the favor of the gods and give themselves more power than normal people. ”

Despite his amazing cultivation and cultivation, Cassius's face changed.

There are still no clues about the disappearance of children in the Republic, and some people believe that local ethnic radicals committed it, and others say that it is a large-scale kidnapping and enrichment by the underworld, but neither of these inferences can withstand scrutiny and tracking. In the past three months, the guerrilla associations have frequently referred to the results of the follow-up of similar cases in various places, and believe that an even more mysterious evil gang is repeatedly committing crimes.

And what the young man said was in line with many of the superficial signs in the possession of the Guerrilla Society, and even broke through the barrier, so that all the seemingly chaotic appearances could be explained.

Cassius tried his best to control his tone and asked softly: "This matter is very important, the guerrilla association is also doing its best to detect, what else do you know, please tell me." ”

The young man continued to whisper about the information he had: "I have only vaguely heard it, and there is no actual evidence, but I have heard that their strength is very strong and dangerous, and even if the guerrilla association attacks with all its might, it may not be their opponent. ”

At this point, the young man raised his head, looked at Cassius, and said solemnly: "There is also a branch of the Guerrilla Association in the Republic, and I have come all the way here to find you, firstly, to avoid exposing my identity and causing me to be killed; The second is because you have a high prestige on the continent and can unite all the forces that can be used on the continent. Only by strategizing and planning in this way can they all be wiped out. ”

Cassius looked at the young man, but still didn't see any clues, and he said tentatively, "It seems that you know a lot, can you give a specific clue." ”

The young man took out a card the size of a playing card, placed it in Cassius's hand, and said, "This is a symbol I get occasionally, I don't know what it means yet, maybe the priests of the Seven Jewels will know better." All I know about this matter is scratching the surface, and I have to take the risk of inquiring about more detailed things, not to mention whether you will pay attention to it. If you are interested, please verify the news as soon as possible after today's meeting, I am waiting to hear from you. ”

Cassius counted the time and said, "I need some time to gather information on such important news, how about we meet again in early March." ”

The young man nodded: "It's really not safe in the territory of the republic, and it's too far to get to Libel. How would you like to meet in Crossbell? ”

Seeing Cassius nodding in approval, he whispered again, "On the East Street of Crossbell, there is an Eastern Jizo Bodhisattva. According to what you said, at the beginning of March, I will go there for a few days, and if you arrive and want to meet me, please go to the Longlao restaurant next to it and order a squirrel salmon, take off half of the fish, and offer the remaining half to the Bodhisattva. At noon the next day, we will meet at the Long Lao Hotel, please do not send anyone but you, and do not mention our meeting to others. ”

After the young man finished speaking, he got up and took his leave: "My business here has been completed, and there will be a regular boat to the royal capital landing in exactly half an hour, and I will go and see if I can still buy a ticket." ”

Cassius watched the seemingly ordinary young man leave. Pick up the card in your hand and take a closer look, it is a hand-painted quaint pattern, which seems to be related to some religion and history, with two pairs of wings on both sides of the pattern, but in the middle is a big bulging eye, full of a mysterious and unknown atmosphere.
