In the depths of the miasma-filled valley, the hooded man in the cave sounded at a crystal ball, and when the light and shadow in the crystal ball disappeared, he was stunned for a while, and then raised his hand to rub the ring.

The hooded man was a little frustrated: "Your Majesty still thinks that it is a spy of Erxiang......"

An old voice sounded in the ring: "I said a long time ago, you are delusional. Even if you don't consider the personal relationship between Your Majesty and Prell, starting from the overall situation of the Order Alliance, Your Majesty will not regard Prell as an enemy. ”

The hooded man said in a low voice: "The goal of the Crimson Church is to overthrow the rule of the nobility, and it is an unmistakable fact that Prell is an enemy of His Majesty. ”

The old man snorted, "So what? That was after the overthrow of Ika. Prell has now pulled the magicians of the Storm Islands to His Majesty's side, and with such a merit, even if Prell reaches out to the Duchy of Norton, His Majesty will seriously consider it. ”

The hooded man sighed sadly: "In other words, everything I have done in this matter has been in vain......

"How is it in vain?"

The old man's tone became awe-inspiring: "You are Your Majesty's magic eye hidden in the shadows, and you are the Shadow Hound who chases prey for Your Majesty. Your task is to detect any threat to Your Majesty and resolutely carry out His Majesty's orders. You don't need to, and you don't have the right to, think about which threat is greater, and decide what to do about it. ”

"Not only can't you give up on this, but you have to keep tracking it and not let up in the slightest. Someday, your efforts will be rewarded. McGore, I know you don't want to lurk in the dark anymore, but that's your only value. ”

The hood shook and sneered, "And what about your worth?"

The old man said quietly, "We are the same, McGore. Her Majesty has not yet reached the apex of her career, and on her stage, allies and partners are needed. We can only stand silently at the back of the stage, hidden under the lights, and play our role with all our hearts. When Your Majesty no longer needs allies and partners, we minions will come to the forefront. ”

The communication ended, and the hooded man was silent for a moment, and stepped out of the cave.

Dozens of wooden shelves were lined up in the valley, each with a man nailed to it, nailed with an iron cone with a forbidden effect.

There were men, women, and children, some of them were silent, some of them groaned in pain, some of them cursed.

"Count!"

Seeing the hooded man appear, a man dressed as a thief greeted him: "What to do?"

"Execution", the hooded man said lightly, "Executed in the name of a Raka spy." ”

The subordinate said in frustration: "Didn't Your Majesty recognize our efforts?"

The hooded man said coldly: "Your Majesty has recognized our efforts, but it is not up to us to determine what the truth is!"

The subordinates were awe-inspiring: "Yes, I'll carry it out!In addition, those interrogation records, as well as the magic test reports, also need to be destroyed?"

The hooded man shook his head: "No, secret, properly kept." ”

The subordinate asked again: "And those who surrendered ......"

Looking at the more than a dozen people locked in the wooden cage next to him, the hooded man said: "Carefully screen, those with spy talent will stay, and after training, they will be sent to the Divine Fall Plateau." ”

After the explanation, dozens of hooded people held magic guide guns and formed a team in front of the wooden frame. Under the command of the petty leader, raise the gun and aim.

"The crimson light will shine on Finn!"

"Down with the slave owners!

"A new world of cosmopolitanism is coming!"

Facing the muzzle of the gun, the people on the wooden frame cheered up and chanted one after another.

The subordinate asked, "Do you want to gag them?"

The hooded man said leisurely: "No, take a picture ......"

The camera floated in the air, aimed at the men.

Shots rang out, and the prisoners hung their heads one by one and fell silent.

A middle-aged man was shot in the face more than a dozen times, he shook his head, and almost whispered the last few words before his pupils dilated.

"The revolution will ...... Victory ......"

On the ridge in the distance, an inconspicuous sparrow stared silently at the scene in the valley. Occasionally, the head turned, making a very subtle mechanical sound.

..................

It was already night when Richie teleported from the Shieldkeep Merchant Temple to the Tangus Osquim Hall.

The Temple of Commerce, like the Adventurer's Guild, can be found in slightly larger cities. However, it is only in the capitals of the countries, and in particularly important cities, that the Temple of Commerce will provide teleportation services, and the scope of teleportation is also limited. Li Qi couldn't teleport back to Hadron directly, and the teleportation debuff he was carrying (which the Porta Worm said was responsible for) made him unable to use the teleportation scroll, so he had to go back to the little dragon girl.

"Spend the night with me, we have a lot of things to do", the little dragon girl pestered him to be coquettish.

Li Qi said angrily: "Accompany you to play the gold bushel and listen to the sound?"

"Count the stars", the little dragon girl blinked her big eyes, which were really as bright as the stars.

"Try my craft first, the kind of green tea you said before, someone from the Druid Guild has made it, I'll brew it for you!"

Xiaolongnu stood up, Li Qi smiled bitterly, shouldn't this guy change to the cute route? How did he become a wife?

After thinking about it, the witches and Gambit are still in the Storm Islands, and they are scheduled to teleport back to Hadron tomorrow, and it is not interesting for him to go back first, and Li Qi decided to stay at the little dragon girl for one night. Regarding Xiaolongnu, he does have some ideas, so he just took this opportunity to train him.

After a while, he squirted out "green tea" mixed with spices and even sesame oil, and regretted his decision.

Little Red Riding Hood suddenly sent a message: "Aurora is praying that something has happened to our people in the Duchy of Norton. ”

Aurora could have sent a clear message to Little Red Riding Riding Age through prayer, which could not have been more convenient. Of course, Little Red Riding Hood is not willing to be an operator, and asks him to come up with the magic technology of contacting anytime and anywhere as soon as possible.

This news made Li Qi a little clueless, the Duchy of Norton is neither close to the sea, nor has anything to do with the affairs of the Storm Islands, nor is it far away from the Divine Fall Plateau, and has nothing to do with the activities of the Fei Gong.

The Duchy of Norton is northwest of Hadlang, bordered by Tangus to the east and Koster to the west. To the northwest is the United Duchy of Redstone, no, it's the Kingdom of Redstone now, and to the northeast is the Forgotten Forest.

This country is a special country in that it is larger than Hadran in size, but its population is less than half that of Hadlang.

Probably just downwind of Redstone and the Forgotten Forest, and relatively low, Norton's weather changes drastically, the land is very barren, and mortals can only live in a few highlands, relatively isolated from each other.

In this country, the power of the Grand Duke was quite limited, and there were many feudal nobles, autonomous towns, and guild organizations, which cut the state power into pieces.

When Richie and Hathaway discussed advancing the parliamentary process of various countries before, he mentioned the Duchy of Norton and thought it was a very good place to experiment. Through means such as mirage, he disseminated some political ideas and ideas to the country.

It was just a very idle hand of chess, and Li Qi was just doing it casually at the time, and now he has almost forgotten it, is there something wrong there?

"Duchy of Norton, don't you know yet?"

Xiaolongnu immediately explained: "That's right, what happened just two days ago, you definitely don't know when you just came back." ”

Norton Council Rebellion?

Archduke Norton assassinated?

After all, she was a merchant and a neighbor of Hadron, and the little dragon girl was quite familiar with the situation in the Duchy of Norton.

After figuring out Norton's situation, Li Qi frowned, what does this have to do with the Fei Gong?

"I promise no voyeurism and no logging!"

Hearing that Li Qi was going to use her Book of Trade Winds, and worried about leaking secrets, the little dragon girl slapped her barren little breasts with a bang.

Although she is not very assured of this guy's promise, her interests are already very tightly tied to Fei Gong, and she is also her own apprentice after all, Li Qi believes her.

There are now two Book of Trade Winds on the Fei Gong side, one in Alpha's Castle and one in Beta.

When he connected to Beta's Book of Trade Winds, images of Tharence and Aurora appeared, apparently preserved.

Aurora said with a gloomy expression, "Our colleagues have been sacrificed. ”

Li Qi's heart jumped, and he frowned: "Take your time, make it clear carefully from beginning to end, I don't remember we sent someone there." ”

"Here's the thing......"

Tarence sighed deeply and explained to Richie.

Previously, the CPF had decided to send working groups to develop underground organizations in various countries in the name of itinerant priests, and the first pilot areas selected were the two countries of Kost and Hadlang. To this end, hundreds of groups of people have been dispatched, and now the momentum of development is good, and a steady stream of conscious and qualified reserve members are being sent to Beta City.

Due to technical reasons, these working groups could not maintain real-time contact with the Central Committee of the Philippines Communist Party of China, and could only contact them regularly, and many problems arose in the process.

The most serious problem was to go on their own, but fortunately most of the working groups had made the development of their membership a top priority, and they had also strictly followed the limits of their area of activity, and had not caused much confusion.

However, accidents could not be avoided after all, a working group that was supposed to develop in Kester, because the team leader was a Nortonian, and after developing a group of members, he actually went to Norton to carry out activities. After that, there was no regular contact, and the leadership of the Fei Communist Party thought that it had suffered an accident like several other groups of people and was listed as missing.

It is now known that these men have won the support of several members of the Norton National Assembly and joined the process of the "democratic revolution" in Norton's own country, and they were active participants in the assassination of the Grand Duke.

"Theresia's reaction is so fast, and her attitude is really tough", hearing that the troops of the Order Alliance arrived in Norton yesterday and suppressed the riot, and the organizers and backbone elements of the riot were also uprooted by the secret organization that should belong directly to the queen yesterday, and the cool air was blowing in the bottom of Rich's heart.

"This revolution is not at the right time", he sighed helplessly.

The "Norton Crimson Church", developed by the working group, was disposed of by the covert organization alone. One of the believers escaped and contacted Tarence through the Ranger Guild's channels and sent a message back.

Not long ago, the ranger sent back a message that all the backbone of the church had been executed......

After carefully checking the time, Richie's heart suddenly weighed like lead.

In the afternoon, Theresia avoided the communication she went to pick up, presumably for this purpose.

Thinking that she behaved casually in front of her, Li Qi's heart was filled with bitterness. Theresia was already a worthy king, a qualified political creature.

Hathaway is the same, not only posing with herself, but also not tearing her face with herself, and controlling the heat of the conflict is quite exquisite.

I'm still thinking about dividends, rewards, or whatever, and compared to these two, I'm afraid I have more naivety in myself.

The two figures of Theresia and Hathaway staggered in their hearts, and Richie's heart gradually warmed up.

Isn't it just a struggle?

For revolutionaries, struggle is like eating and drinking, and they should be taken for granted!

Li Qi hugged his arms and muttered for a long time, and finally straightened out his thoughts.

"I have a few opinions, you can discuss them first, and then I will come back for a meeting to make a decision. ”

"First, let that colleague bring the remnants of the church to Beta, the seeds of the revolution that cannot be left behind. ”

"Second, the sacrificed people, although they were unorganized and undisciplined, and committed the mistake of blind activism, they gave their lives for the revolution. Whether it was the three colleagues of the working group or the colleagues who developed later, they were all martyrs, and their portraits were placed in the teleportation temple. ”

"Thirdly, we must urgently rectify the working groups we have sent out, all the working groups of the Hadran Kingdom have been withdrawn, and the working groups of the Kingdom of Kost must carry out an action to clear up the blind thinking and strengthen the education of obeying orders in all actions. ”

"Fourth, the situation may change drastically, so that the troops are ready for war. ”

When she heard the third point, Aurora was still a little dissatisfied, and then at the fourth point, her face turned white again.

"Are you going to break with Theresia?"

She said worriedly: "Let me talk to her, she should take care of the overall situation, and we won't get to that point." ”

For Aurora, that was the only thing she struggled with.

Aside from Little Red Riding Hood and Richie, she was the most determined revolutionary believer in Falcon France, but she had illusions about Theresia. Although she knew that this was a fantasy, the old friendship made her never let go.

She ...... has taken care of the overall situation", thinking that Theresia didn't tell him about it at all, without even reminding him, Li Qi understood that the queen was very sober.

This matter has not yet broken through the limit of what Teresia can bear, and even killing these people is estimated to be labeled as a thug or even a spy of Reka, and he will take off his relationship with these people.

Aurora was worried: "But she knows our teachings......"

Li Qi didn't care: "The leaked part is not so important, it has not surpassed Theresia's existing knowledge of us." From the doctrine of emancipation of all slaves, it is natural to deduce that the rule of the aristocracy must be overthrown. In her eyes, we are heretics who want to subvert the traditional order. ”

Li Qi is very glad that he has a lot of insight in this regard, and all the members of the working group who have been sent abroad have only received a primary revolutionary education, and they are not "comrades", but only colleagues." The doctrines they have at their disposal do not involve the two most crucial and deadly theoretical points of the revolutionary faith, "class" and "justice".

Aurora was a little relieved: "Since Theresia is in charge of the overall situation, then we can only take care of the overall situation." ”

Tarens's inclination was different: "Did we just endure it? The blood of our colleagues was shed in vain? This is not good for everyone to do ideological work, especially for the grassroots personnel." ”

Li Qi was resolute: "If it's not good, you have to do it." ”

The overall situation is important, and the current situation is obvious, the power of the Order Alliance has risen sharply, and the prospect of defeating the Loyal Divine Court is clearly visible. If you don't take the opportunity to develop, but provoke trouble and show your traces, then it is not a blind movement that cannot see the reality clearly, but a monkey movement without a long brain.

Then he said: "But it doesn't mean that you really have to endure it, and the blood of the martyrs will not be shed in vain!"
