Chapter 56 Compensation
Suhid left, leaving behind an offer to cooperate.
This is a proposal that, no matter how you look at it, is completely advantageous to Prosea.
Jincheng believes that both Lynch Sr. and Ella will agree 100% to this cooperation.
But Jin Cheng felt that his heart was twisted because of the death of the steward.
The aristocracy of this world is such hypocrisy, they can fight back one moment for profit, and sit down and laugh the next. Enemies and allies can change at any time, and the only criterion is whether they can get more benefits.
In the face of the future interests of the two forces, the death of a servant seems so insignificant.
But isn't that a human life?
Jin Cheng asked himself rhetorically, there will always be a gap between game and reality, blocking the two worlds and two mentalities.
"But ......"
"If we can get the support of the Arvis family, then when developing the dimensional territory in Prosea, we can avoid a lot of fearless sacrifices and allow more soldiers to survive!"
"If that's the case, the steward ......"
Kaneshiro was suddenly shocked, he found that he was actually excusing the Yalvis family!
Since when has he integrated into this world, like those greedy nobles, only thinking about more interests?
"No, the Arvis family must pay enough!"
Jin Cheng was a little annoyed by his change of mentality, and just as he cursed his hypocrisy viciously, Prohai's subordinates came in and asked him if he wanted to use the ice coffin sent by Suhid to place the steward's body.
That ice coffin was just purchased by Su Xid from the Alchemy Pagoda, and it was actually an alchemy product that had built an ice spell array. It's a very unpopular thing, but it's also quite marketable. Necromancy is a taboo, so it is very rare, and there is no custom of incineration of corpses in the ancient continent. Many aristocrats would purchase this kind of ice coffin to preserve the face of the deceased.
And looking at the ice coffin sent by Su Xide, Jin Cheng couldn't help but shake his eyelids.
Although Jincheng's alchemy level is not as good as that of pharmacy, he still has a basic vision. However, there is no need to even rely on the knowledge of alchemy, anyone can see the value of this ice coffin at a glance.
The dazzling array of jewels, which have risen from luxury to pomp, are densely inlaid on the ice coffin, unscrupulously declaring their high value to everyone.
This style is quite in line with the preferences of many small nobles, and it is estimated that the nobles who do not have a viscount in their bodies are not necessarily willing to use this grade of ice coffin.
"Send me back!"
"Prosea doesn't need someone else's handout!"
"I'll find a way to locate the steward's body!"
Kaneshiro gave the order with a dark face, and then hurried out of the lodgings, and rode to the towers in a carriage from the other servants.
Soon he met Molotov and Gullan, only to receive an answer that made him angry.
This group of secret mages who studied the power of the shadows were first persecuted by the Holy See of Light, and they were desperate under the repeated strangulation of the Silent Temple before they took refuge in the Blue Tower. The people of the Tower of Shadows and the Sanctuary of Silence have always been at odds with each other, and after fighting each other for so long, it is only natural that they have a set of methods to deal with the Silent Assassins.
The Silent Assassin didn't last long before he confessed his origins.
Unlike Nataya and the one who assassinated the Golden City in Prohai, he was not allowed to leave voluntarily, nor did he fall to the people due to the collapse of the Silent Temple, but he defected from the Silent Temple by a slight mistake. So the Silent Sanctuary itself is also wanted by the Silent Assassin.
And he whimsically hid in the Blue Tower, the weakest place of the Silent Temple. He had long since hidden all his identities, and he was not engaged in the killer business, but simply lived as a civilian, living in the residential area of the Blue Tower.
It's just that inexplicably, his news leaked out, and last night an employer suddenly appeared and wanted to hire him to assassinate Jincheng, otherwise his identity would be exposed. He didn't dare to refuse, otherwise he wouldn't want to live in the Mystic Mage's Holy Land, and once he left here, the forces of the Silent Sanctuary would not let him live.
The Tower of Shadows soon found the employer, who was not the mastermind and was hired. When the Tower of Shadows followed the trail to find his employer's employer, he also found that he had been hired.
By the time the last employer was found, the trail had been completely cut off.
Not surprisingly, this employer is not the mastermind.
The three of them form a line, hired layer by layer, but none of them know who the real mastermind is. In fact, even if they knew, it was useless, because by the time the Shadow Tower came to the door, all three of them had turned into cold corpses.
Being able to find three employers in such a situation, the Shadow Tower's ability is not low, but the result of the fact is that the Shadow Tower has not found the final commander after all.
"The aristocracy is far superior to us in their ability to play these tricks, so we can't find any evidence to convict Suheed." Molotov sighed.
"But rest assured, although Suhid cannot be convicted, we can still expel him on the grounds that he is suspicious. In this way, Prosea can get that agreement smoothly. Molotov tried to appease Jincheng with the matter of the agreement.
Jin Cheng surprisingly didn't say anything, and left Molotov's mage tower with a strange face.
As a branch of the Blue Tower, there is definitely a legend in the Shadow Tower. Being able to do such a thing under the eyes of a legend, Jin Cheng was almost certain that Su Xid had come to the Blue Tower this time with one of the three old men.
Those three old men should still be hidden behind the Jarvis family, and the humans of the Igu Continent have not yet realized the strength of these three old men.
Their real fame came when the Jarvis family raised their banners at the end of the New Monarchy's War, only to be confronted by an invading army from the Gran Plane.
No one could defend against Ingram, but the Yalves family, with the advice of these three old men, resisted the invading army for a month.
A month, is thirty days.
And when Blue Tower faced Ingram's army, it only supported it for three days.
Of course, there is a reason why the Blue Tower is in the period of emptiness, and the Yalvis family happens to be at the height of its power, but it can also be seen that these three old men are extraordinary.
While the players are rising in strength, many people are realizing that there is a powerful power called divinity on top of the legend. Because Gram has three divinities, there are few characters in the Igu Continent who can compete with him.
And as the clues of divinity are explored little by little, players discover that the Igu continent actually has two wisdom divinities. This divinity is the easiest to obtain, and almost every deity casts a god that contains wisdom divinity. So the gods are often so clever that no one can deceive them.
Igu's two wisdom divinities, one of which the Omniscient possesses, is the one who leads Igu's remnants of power against the invaders of the Gran Plane.
And the other one, there are three old men, and they each account for a third.
With these three old men in their presence, it was a very simple matter for the Arvis family to intervene in the agreement between King Adot and the Blue Tower.
And if one of the three old men planned the assassination of Jincheng, then unless the all-knowing woke up a few years in advance, Jincheng really couldn't imagine that anyone could investigate the truth of the matter. No matter how powerful the Shadow Tower is, it can't compare to the wisdom of the Divine.
In that case, why did Suhid tell Jincheng?
Jin Cheng felt a mess in his head, and he couldn't understand Su Xide's approach at all.
Is it really because Suhid treats him as a friend?
Kaneshiro smiled bitterly, he preferred to believe that it was Su Xide who wanted to humiliate him to his face, although it wasn't like it.
Back at his residence, before Jin Cheng could figure out the cause and effect of the incident, Prohai's servant suddenly reported that Suhid had sent a few things.
It was two boxes, one large and one small, as well as a letter.
The envelope reads: To my friend, Kim - Sushid.
Jin Cheng snorted coldly, put the letter aside, and opened the big box first.
As soon as the lid was lifted, a smell of blood permeated.
Frowning, Jin Cheng looked into the box, and was suddenly so shocked that he took a few steps back.
Inside the box was a bloodied human head!
And the face of the human head, Jin Cheng vaguely felt familiar.
Soon Jin Cheng remembered who the head belonged to.
As one of the first players to step into the advanced level of legends, Kaneshiro has also been studying divinity, often turning to the information about divinity on the forum.
That's why he recognized the head.
These are three of those three old men!
Jin Cheng hurriedly picked up the letter and opened it, there was only a piece of paper inside, a few lines of upright handwriting, and gorgeous strokes:
Kim, this is my compensation.
Your friend, Suheed.
