Ever since the Baron Roger incident, the nobles of the Kingdom of Koloe have received an order from Krylov III at the same time.

His Majesty the 'Supreme' King will send some scholars to assist them in their 'work', and what is their work as noble lords?

To put it bluntly, those scholars are a nail that the royal family has nailed in their territory, and everyone knows that the nail is there, but no one dares to pull the nail out, and if they dare to pull it out, then it won't be long before those damn hounds and bats will come to the door in search of the smell and ask them to 'cooperate with the investigation'.

And now, a few months have passed, and they have naturally tried many methods to corrupt the assigned scholars, but unfortunately to no avail.

But they also knew something through the scholars, and the dogs and bats with sharp noses were not just staring at the scholars, they were staring at them all the time, and they didn't know when they would run into one when they went out.

After stabilizing the situation in the royal capital and the surrounding areas, Krylov III began to reach out to the rest of the kingdom, and he wanted to learn from the chief maid of the Duchy of Sorrow and control the entire kingdom in his hands.

The old and new nobles of the entire Kolo Kingdom knew it, but they didn't dare to say it, because the kingdom belonged to the king in name, and they, as lords, were just 'managing on their behalf', and at this time, it was good to do anything, that is, not to do anything against the will of Krylov III.

By the time they understood this, the bodies of the nobles who had tried to rebel against Krylov III had already cooled away, and not only the nobles themselves, but even the 'accomplices' were hung on the gallows—the so-called 'accomplices' were actually the relatives of the nobles.

After that, the scholars sent by Krylov III took over the domains and administered them on their behalf, saying that they would wait until the heirs of the nobles grew up to give them the domains.

However, after those scholars sorted out the affairs of the territory, they began to transform those territories, which was called "learning the advanced management system of the Principality of Sorrow".

At this moment, the hearts of all the nobles who planned to wait and see the changes were cold, as long as they saw this incident, they could know how determined Krylov III was to completely unify the entire kingdom and take power into his own hands this time.

As the process of unification gradually accelerated, the number of cultists in the kingdom of Koloe began to increase......

"Rekan, Warwick, do they have any news?" asked Krylov III, who was sitting in the study, pressing his swelling temporal part, with a long sigh.

Shortly after he finished speaking, his shadow swirled from the ground, and when the shadow cleared, a half-kneeling nezumi appeared behind Krylov III.

"So far, there has been no particularly useful news. Rykan first answered the king's question, paused, and then continued, "But Your Majesty, since the confinement of the [Demon Net Spirit] was broken, the evil gods who had been worried about it have returned to their own kingdom, and now they have no worries, and they can send believers to collect fear without scrupulousness, and in the process of fulfilling their priesthood, they can obtain more divine power. ”

Krylov III stopped writing, "Do you think this is the root cause?"

The nezumi shook his head and sighed softly, "No, there should be another black hand." ”

"Ever since I learned about the intentions of the All-Seeing Eye and the Dragon Hunter Order from the Chief Servant Serena, my perspective on some things in this world has changed dramatically. Krylov III leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, "But do you think the evil gods who lived through that war would trust those two organizations and make a deal with them?"

Rickan thought for a moment, then shook his head again, "I'm afraid not." ”

"There are traces of those two organizations, but no one knows how much they are involved...... "The king tapped his index finger on the armrest, thinking about what had happened in the Kingdom of Kolo in recent days.

After a moment's hesitation, Rykan added, "Perhaps, the evil gods don't want to see a unified Kolo Kingdom, like the Principality of the Howling Winds, in an orderly place where there is no soil for them to live. For an existence like an evil god, the more chaotic a place is, the better. ”

"Knowing that the Arcane Empire is about to return, do those evil gods still want to fight among themselves and weaken the power of our world?" a sneering smile appeared on the corner of Krylov III's mouth.

"Maybe it's because they think that they are the main force against the Arcane Empire, and mortals have no effect, as long as they can provide them with divine power and accumulate strength, it is the greatest honor of mortals......" Rykan replied in a whisper.

"What stupid!" said Krylov III, scoffing and rising from his chair with his hands propped up.

Without saying a word, the nezumi sank silently into the darkness, and a moment later, the shadows in the room distorted.

Where the light could not shine, those slender shadows were distorted into indescribable shapes, and the originally pure darkness instantly became cloudy, and a bone-deep cold emerged from every invisible corner of the room, and the killing intent from all directions completely enveloped him.

Krylov III was surrounded by viscous air that made it difficult for his body to move.

The bright rays of the sun from the window shone into the study, and all the shadows turned away from the 'Night King' and leaned towards the door.

The puppet guarding outside the door was not activated, and it was still immersed in a 'dream' for an unknown amount of time, and all the darkness in the room passed through the crack in the door and gathered outside the door, which stood quietly there and had not yet been opened.

It was obviously an 'assassination', but he had to choose a special time to be above board, which really embarrassed the assassin outside the door.

As the 'Lord of the Night' crowned by two goddesses, Krylov III is 'immortal' in the night, and all the assassination techniques that can be used on humans cannot kill him.

And only in the dark of Greenland, of course!

The sun behind him shone on his face, but the Night King's face was clouded, but the corners of his mouth never lost his confident smile.

"Rickan. He whispered, and in an instant, the shadows beneath his feet suddenly dispersed and spread over the entire study, turning the floor, walls, and ceiling into darkness.

Lonely desks, chairs, and bookshelves stood in the silent darkness, and even the windows were closed in the silence.

In this space, which seems to be cut off from time and space, there are two people.

The gray-robed Assassin looked around helplessly, as a master of shadow manipulation, he had never missed an assassination in the past, otherwise he would not have survived until now.

Krylov III stood with his hands behind his back, without saying a word, and his gaze fell on the assassin with a mocking gaze.

After a moment's pause, the Assassin came back to his senses and immediately turned to look at the target of his mission, recognizing the mockery in his deep eyes.

Sensing the Assassin's indignation, Krylov III shook his head and sneered: "I don't know what to say about you for daring to play with your clumsy skills in front of a shadow master." ”

The assassin was stunned again, 'Master of Shadows'?

His target couldn't be the 'Master of Shadows', so who was it?

Could it be the 'Nezumi Wanderer' in that profile?

The assassin was about to speak, but suddenly he felt discomfort in his throat, raised his hand and touched it, his stomach twitched suddenly, and a thick black mist erupted from his mouth.

His eyes widened and he reached forward to grab something, but the strength in his body was rapidly draining, and he fell to his knees in front of Krylov III.

Glaring at Krylov III unwillingly, his body suddenly collapsed, turning into a cloud of black mist and merging into the darkness around him.

Seeing this, Krylov III sat down again, and the shadow that enveloped the entire room instantly retracted to his feet.

With his elbow propped up on one armrest and his fingers bent on his left cheek, Krylov III chuckled: "Rikan, let's talk about the evil gods, I can send a transcendent wanderer to assassinate me, except for them, there are probably only those two organizations left......"
