At 11 o'clock in the evening, Lao Wang and Takenaka appeared at the door of Count Marcus's mansion on time, and it rained in the evening today, so that the current Dunwall inner city is becoming more and more cold and damp and damp, because of the shortage of supplies caused by the plague, so that this cold rain is also full of lethality, just like tonight, I don't know how many people will die because of low temperature and hunger.

The cold rain and bleak wind are not necessarily bad, at least for Lao Wang and Takenaka, the patrol strength of the Iron Mask Overseer is very weak, and it is two people who have traveled all the way, and their whereabouts are hidden and undiscovered.

Today was their last day in the World of Trials of Humiliation, and after coming into contact with Marcus, King and Takenaka stayed in Dunwall for a while, and immediately returned to the winemaking area after completing some deployments.

They began to expand the power of the Holy Scouts, using the power of the Loyalists to train the private forces of the Holy Scouts, and unlike training the army, they only needed to have the upper hand in battle.

After this series of actions, the Holy Scouts have strengthened the normativity and order of the entire area, and the chaos value of Lao Wang and Takenaka has been well controlled, and it is getting closer and closer to the end of the world.

Just tonight, Wang and Takenaka still have important things to do—the salon meeting day they agreed with Marcus is tonight.

Previously, the two had sent Lilith to visit Count Marcus one more time, telling him that Corvo had agreed to attend his political club salon in the evening, and had set a specific time and place.

Lao Wang and Takenaka successfully completed the humiliating world from a distance, only missing the second half of the fixed task C, although their current world exploration mission and the fixed task they have completed have earned a lot of random points, but it is not enough to offset the huge fine for the failure of mission C, with the rigor and perversion of the random space, it will definitely not make it so easy for the selector to survive by paying the fine.

For this reason, how far Lao Wang and Takenaka's newly formed team can go depends largely on whether they can successfully complete the second half of Mission C tonight and gain the support of these people, which is not easier than fighting at all!

At the door of Marcus's mansion to greet Lao Wang and Zhuzhong was an acquaintance - the dog-legged butler, this guy saw Lao Wang and Zhuzhong in black coming, and immediately greeted him warmly, shushed the cold and asked for warmth, and led them into the mansion to meet the earl directly.

"Good evening, Mr. Mark Mason, you are punctual, but what about Your Excellency Corvo, as we have spoken, you know, my political allies have arrived, and they are waiting in the recreation room, and I am not sure that the former Protector will not be able to convince them if he does not come. Marcus saw that there were only Lao Wang and Master Takenaka, and the expected Corvo did not appear, so he immediately frowned and asked in a somewhat unhappy tone.

"Your Excellency, rest assured. Lao Wang replied with a smile: "The former protector acted independently, he decided to come by himself, so he didn't come with us, I believe he will be there soon, why don't you take us to meet your political allies first, I promise, before Your Excellency Corvo arrives, we will not do any lobbying to ensure your safety, in this way, do you think it's okay?"

Marcus hesitated, he didn't think that these two people would rush into the salon scene and start playing the so-called evidence that could lose their heads.

However, Lord Earl thought about it again, his plan for tonight was protected by the upper echelons, and there were really any problems, and some people carried them, but it was a pity that the meeting might scare you into wetting your pants in the dark.

Thinking of this, Marcus smiled slightly, and then put his mind at ease: "Oh, I see, the former protector is really a cautious person, in this case, the two of you will follow me to the salon first, and we will wait there for him to be there, come, please." ”

Lao Wang followed behind Marcus, and transmitted a voice to Takezhong through the internal channel of the team: "Bamboo, can you probably detect it first, the behavior of this product is not bad as we expected, I will ask him to keep his back." ”

This is one of the most obvious benefits of changing after forming a team, Lao Wang and Takenaka don't have to sneak in while others are not paying attention, through the original way of communicating with eyes or whispering a few words, all communication problems can be solved in the team channel, and the confidentiality and convenience have been greatly improved.

"Knowing uncle, I've been doing it since I entered the door just now, and I haven't detected anything special at the moment, and I'll take a look when I get to the place of the salon later. Takenaka replied.

By the time things had happened, the answer was clear, and Count Marcus did not believe in the promises made by the so-called Corvo, or that the benefits were not enough for the mature politician to take the plunge.

However, the news that Corvo is still alive and is contacting the Imperial Chancellor is simply an opportunity to send it to the door, how can someone like Marcus not fight for it when he sees the benefits in front of him?

He immediately pretended to agree to the request made by the old king, and then turned around and became a second and fifth boy, and reported the matter to the regent.

So, at the behest of the Regent, tonight's salon gathering was destined to be a good feast, Corvo's shrewd empire in reconnaissance and stealth was unsurpassed, in order to strive for safety and truth, in addition to the dozens of royal ministers of the Wall-riding faction who did not know the truth, there was really only Count Marcus and his servants and subordinates in today's salon venue.

However, how could the regent let go of such a big fish, he used the method of surrounding from the outside, at a safe distance from the Marcus mansion, someone had already held a telescope to monitor the entire mansion, once Corvo entered the salon venue, this salon party officially began, Count Marcus would go to the window and send a signal with a special action.

Upon receiving the signal, the surveillance personnel immediately notified the nearby operatives to begin approaching the Count Marcus Mansion and did not ambush them.

Finally, after the salon is over, whether Corvo succeeds in convincing the Wall-Riding Ministers or not, Marcus, as a landowner, will inevitably send Corvo out of the door, and the door to the Count's Mansion closes behind Corvo, signaling the start of action.

This time, the Iron Overseers were very well prepared, and there were no weapons such as the Tallbows that could cause accidental damage, but there were many more trapping tools such as trapping the enemy such as trapping nets and dust bombs.

That's right, if this is really done, it's really hard to say whether Corvo can escape, maybe the three lives of Lao Wang's team and Corvo will be explained here.

But there is still a problem, for example, if you want to fish, then at least there must be fish in the water, but right now, the biggest fish in the water, called Corvo, is not going to swim over at all, or rather, he doesn't know what is going on tonight, he should have swam over.

Of course, Lao Wang and Takenaka are not stupid.

The reason why the old king paused when Count Marcus said "Long live Empress Emily!" was because in his quest information, the progress numbers did not jump the table at all, which was a special treatment given to the selectors in the trial world by random space, and the digital task progress could also be used as a lie detector.

Lao Wang can notice things, how can Takenaka not notice, the little guy immediately told Lao Wang through the team channel, don't move, just listen to this guy's nonsense, and promise him all the rest of the requests, Lao Wang immediately understood, the little guy is ready to use Marcus, and he will do what he wants.

The two walked into the venue, the salon was about to begin, and the political elites of the Danwall Empire gathered in groups with their acquaintances, talking about the recent turbulent political situation, and no one noticed Lao Wang and Takenaka.

The fact that the Overseer of Gambol had been kidnapped and then killed a few days ago undoubtedly left a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all the courtiers.

All the members present were not people who believed the official version, what did Gambor's tragic death represent, these guys with a sense of smell knew better than the guys in Turin, this was a signal sent by the strong return of the royal forces, and if they wanted to continue to live or even continue to be prosperous and rich, the wall-riding factions present should carefully consider their future actions in the court.

Count Marcus led the old king and Takenaka to the venue, said goodbye, and prepared to go to the gate to wait, he knew Corvo, and greeted him personally at the door to really confirm whether it was the main one, and there were six or seven royal ministers who were also late today, so it was good to take it by the way.

The Earl had just turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly felt someone pulling at the placket of his shirt behind him, and he looked back and saw that it was the child who was acting with Mark Mason, who had never mentioned his identity, and Marcus himself did not ask much, and then suddenly saw the little boy tugging at the placket of his shirt, and he really began to notice the child.

The little guy was looking at him with a smile, but this expression made Count Marcus can't help but mutter, how can this child's smiling face be different from ordinary people's eyes?

Although Count Marcus was puzzled, he was a man who had been in a high position for a long time, and he would never be stopped by the strange expression of a child, and he kindly touched the head of the bamboo and said, "This young gentleman, is there anything you need my help with?"

"I don't need your help, Lord Earl, I want to tell you, you can't leave today!" Takenaka still smiled, the arm that had been tugging at the Earl's shirt just now had been loosened, and was now stuck diagonally in his arms.

"What are you talking about!" Marcus didn't hear for a moment, he looked at the boy's smiling face, and felt a wave of fear and chill slowly climb up from the groove of his spine, and his heart welled up with despair, plan!

"It's seen through. The boy was still laughing, but like a devil, he seemed to be able to read the count's thoughts, and directly helped him say the second half of the sentence, and then before the imperial royal minister could say something, the boy's right hand flashed with cold light, and it beat three times quickly on the earl's body, although the heart, lower abdomen and throat, although they were earls, but in front of the selectors, they were also the weakest ordinary non-combat characters in this trial world, speaking of which, they were not as good as a jailer of the Cold Ridge Mountain Prison had combat effectiveness.

Count Marcus knelt down weakly, and slowly fell to the ground, like a bloodlet chicken, the thick red liquid that dominated life continued to flow out, wetting the precious oriental carpet on the ground, and this usually eloquent tongue master could not even utter a complete sentence before he died.

Takenaka walked past the corpse of Count Marcus as quickly as anyone else, walked to the door of the salon hall, slammed the heavy oak door shut, and then stood at the door of the venue, and the whole hall was now allowed to enter and leave.

The politicians in the salon who were still talking to each other turned their heads, attracted by the loud sound of the doors closing, and they looked in the direction of the exit, not knowing what was really going on.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of their eyes turning, Lao Wang also launched without warning, and killing people did not need to be announced at all, this is Lao Wang's consistent style.

Wang Mancang held a gun in his left hand and an axe in his right hand, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, rushing into the middle of the politicians who were still temporarily distracted, and placed in the appropriate place, approaching 40 royal ministers, which was a force that could influence the political strategy of the empire.

After the orders they issued, they could decide the direction of the empire's economy, or they could send thousands of young lives to the battlefield, and then helplessly die as pawns in the wrestling of their interests.

Today, however, the words "powerful" and "defenseless" are perfectly combined in them, a combination that seems so natural, yet full of dramatic irony.

Lao Wang and Zhuzhong's plan was very simple, and in two days, they screened out several royal ministers of the wall-riding faction who had clear handles and weaknesses by analyzing the intelligence again.

For them, the work of "persuasion" is very simple, and Lao Wang and Takenaka did not spend much effort, and successfully changed the number of task progress to 21/28 (137*20%), and there are only 7 places left to convince to complete task C.

In other words, let 21 people occupy more than 20% of the total number of royal ministers!

The experience of persuading Marcus made Lao Wang and Takenaka realize that it is too difficult to persuade such a group of old oilmen with evil intentions, not to mention the large amount of work, and various variables may occur.

Compared with this completely uncertain plan, they are still willing to choose a method that can be more controlled by themselves - for example, reduce the total number of royal ministers by killing, and control it to 100 people, look at this wall-riding salon, no matter how the regent plans or calculates, it doesn't matter, Lao Wang and Takenaka only need to attend this party and let go of their hands to carry out the number elimination plan.

Without further ado, let's just kill it ...

It was very easy to kill these ordinary people with huge energy, and it only took Lao Wang and Takenaka less than ten minutes to complete, and by the time they quietly left, the Iron Mask Overseer troops arranged by the Lord Regent still failed to find Count Marcus, who was supposed to send a signal in front of the window, and after waiting for a long time, the Iron Mask Overseers still couldn't bear it, and went to knock on the door of Count Marcus's house.

The man who answered the door was a trembling, bloodless butler, his crotch was wet, and only after he opened the door and saw the Iron Mask Overseer did he let out a scream that he had been holding back for a long time, a voice that could only be called out by anyone who had seen the devil in person.

Last night, the "Scarlet Salon" massacre at Count Marcus's mansion killed a total of 38 Imperial Ministers, so for the first time in the founding of the Empire, the Imperial Council will be convened with less than 100 members.

According to the Regent's government, the suspect in this incident is still the organized murder of foreign hostile forces against high-ranking officials of the Empire, and the Regent hereby calls on all the people of the Empire to fight to the end against the anti-Imperial forces. —The Dunwall Post
