Chapter 124: A Reminder of "Goodwill".
"Who are you!?" Lora attached the magic to her hand and was about to swing it over, but Lil grabbed her wrist with an unintelligible speed.
(So fast!) )
Manna didn't know what Lil was doing, and Rala's speed was already the fastest she had ever seen, but the girl in front of her seemed to be faster than Rala.
Lora frowned, trying to use the power of the wind to shake Lil's fingers away and pull her hand back.
"Rala, don't move!" Manna knew what Lora was trying to do, but when she saw the dagger that Lil was already holding in her other hand, she quickly stopped her.
Lil's speed was completely beyond Mana's cognition, and she knew that she might not be able to match Rala's speed, and if Lola forcibly withdrew her hand, then Lola's hand would most likely be cut off by Lil in an instant.
"It's a smart choice, you'd better listen to your companion's opinion, otherwise what the consequences will be, Lil can't guarantee it, after all, the master only told Lil not to kill, not to hurt people." Lil smiled darkly, her eyes glinting scarlet.
If Lora chooses to use magic to crack her fingers open, then Lil will not hesitate to cut Lora off. Lil has carefully studied how to make her opponent feel pain but not die.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Faced with this situation, Manna also has to try to have a good conversation with Lil. From Lil's words, Manna knew that Lil was also ordered by someone to do something too out of the ordinary.
Lil glanced at Mana and let go of her grip on Rala's wrist, acting as if she were not hostile. Lil, who sits quietly and upright, can indeed give people a very well-behaved feeling, and in part this is also because Lil's face looks relatively immature, although she is seventeen years old.
"The master wants Liel to tell you two something, and in that case, you should listen." Lil sneered, paused, and spoke slowly, "It's about what you're going to do next......
After all, when Lil was still a human, she was also a well-known underground mercenary in the east. In the past few years in Sepion, she is also quite familiar with the situation in the underworld of the eastern part of Sepion.
This memory is not automatically erased after being reincarnated as an "awakened one". Liel can still remember everything about her time as a human clearly, but now that she is no longer human, she can no longer see and treat these memories of herself with human eyes.
Sheola had been using her crystal ball to watch Lora and Mana's moves, and she knew that they were going to the east to gather enough power, and she told Atfans about it.
Artevans was still very confident in the strength of his men, and he also knew that he was probably only able to defeat the "monsters" of the Divine Heir Clan.
After a period of communication, Artevans also had a certain understanding of the situation when Liel was still a human, so he wanted Liel to tell Mana and Lora what she knew about the east, as a "kind" reminder, so that Manna and Lora could smoothly lure out most of the powerful people in the east. Atfans didn't want to see Manna and Lora unable to assemble a strong enough force in ten days, which would undoubtedly lead to a few more troubles for him to do next.
As a result, Lil appears in the carriage in which Lora and Manna are riding.
"There are three cities in the eastern part of Sepion, the easternmost city of Nice in the entire northern continent, the city of Verrol bordering the center, and the city of Skar near the sea in the north. The three cities do not have city lords, but they all have overtly controlled organizations, and I guess you know this."
"Lil's important reminder is the underworld in the east. There is no city-to-city distinction between the underground worlds in the eastern part of Sepion, and the entire eastern underworld is connected, but the underground organization of Verol City may be a little more closely connected. A frequent gathering point for people from the underworld is the Galdark Street, commonly known as the Backstreets, located at the intersection of the three cities. If you go to the backstreets during the day, you can at least see most of the people of the underworld there.'"
"But the well-known underground mercenaries and the higher-ups of the underground organization generally don't go to the back streets, and you may only see some of the small leaders of the organization and the miscellaneous fish among the underground mercenaries there. However, I guess when you go to the back streets, you won't think about using any racial righteousness to influence those underground mercenary workers."
"Only four of the famous underground mercenaries are alone, and all the rest are a team, ranging from two to five, and there are eight of them...... There are seven branches, and there are four underground organizations. Lil won't elaborate, as an enemy ten days later, Lil feels that she has said enough." At this, Lil seemed to remember something, and showed a subtle smile.
"This is a complete map of the east, use it if you think it's useful, Lil doesn't need it anymore anyway."
After leaving a map in the carriage, Lil immediately disappeared into the carriage.
Manna swallowed, picked up the map, and examined it carefully, clearly marking the location of each city's control organization, the location of the backstreets, and the approximate location of each underground organization's headquarters.
(This map is definitely not accurate in a short period of time, who is that girl?) )
The more Manna looked at the map, the more surprise her face grew. She had two thoughts in her heart at this time, one was that this map was drawn by Lil, who was once an ordinary human living in the east, because Mana could not feel a strong alien aura from Lil, she only smelled a smell of red blood.
With this unique smell of blood, Manna roughly speculated that Liel might be a "bloodthirsty", a modified "bloodthirsty".
But another idea is much more terrifying, and that is that this map was drawn by the demons after surveying the eastern part of Sepion and gaining a comprehensive and clear understanding. If this is the case, then all that Manna and Lora do is nothing more than a self-moving piece on a chessboard that moves automatically in the way the player intended.
Manna prefers to believe the first thought, which at least reassures her a little.
In fact, this map was indeed drawn by the team leader Gith of Lil when she was still an underground mercenary. Considering Lil's role in the squad, Keith gave the map to Lil, who kept it intact and didn't lose it because of the events that destroyed the squad. But if Lil doesn't say about it, Manna can't know about it.
"Looks like we're under watch...... Whichever idea is correct, Manna can only come to the conclusion that she and Lora are under enemy surveillance.
"What a bad opponent." Lora frowned. Even though it was winter, Lil's presence made her sweat run down her forehead with nervousness.
"But their bad taste is not a bad thing for us, at least we know that they should keep their promise, and they will attack in ten days." It was the first time Manna had encountered such an opponent, and she smiled helplessly, "And judging from what this map shows, the information that the girl brought is completely correct, and we can believe it."
Manna didn't doubt the accuracy of Lil's words and map markings, and Lora had told her how she felt about the fight with Artfans. There is no need for enemies of this strength to deliberately send them false information, and judging by the strength that Liel has just shown, Lora and Manna should be glad that they have recovered their lives.
The carriage was moving fast, and the two of them could already see the city of Verol not far away.
"Even though the girl gave me a lot of information, we still have to do things as efficiently as possible." Manna said and looked at Rala.
Luo La can also be regarded as a think tank in the previous generation of "Five Elders", and because of this, other people in the same generation of "Five Elders" trust her quite a lot.
"The organization in control of Verol City has a close connection with the church, called the 'Light Wheel', and you know this very well, and the church has already greeted the Light Wheel. We need to go to the 'Light Wheel' first, and if we can gather the underground forces of Verol City through this organization, our burden will be much lighter."
Lora had already figured out a solution, and opened her mouth when Manna seemed to be asking her thoughts, "Then we'll go through the situation in Verol City to decide whether to go to the back streets first, or go to the headquarters of the control organization in the other two cities first."
"Indeed, no matter how you say it, the organization that controls a city should have a certain intersection with the underground forces of that city, and through the 'Light Wheel', you can indeed learn about the underground world in the east first." Manna was not stupid, and she understood what Lora meant at once.
"That's right." Lora nodded.
Speaking of which, the carriage also arrived in the city of Verol.
For some special reason, the three cities east of Sepion had no walls, let alone garrisons. Because of this, the east is also known as the land of chaos, and it can only rely on the consciousness of the underground forces and the strength of the three major organizations to make the east seem very peaceful.
However, there is also an unwritten rule in the underground world, that is, if it is not required by the mission, or other special circumstances, you cannot take the initiative to attack unarmed ordinary people. Surprisingly, all underground forces seem to be able to consciously follow this unwritten rule.
This is not uncommon, after all, the eastern part of Sepion has been able to maintain a subtle and sustained momentum thanks to these unwritten rules, both overtly and covertly.
The carriage did not enter the city of Verol, but returned to the central part after Lora and Manna got out of the carriage.
Everything in the east is still relatively new to Lora and Mana, and although they were once elders of the Church of Magiers, and the church has close ties to the organization "Light Wheel" in Verol City, the two have never been to the east. The one who was once in charge of dealing with the "light wheel" was the dead Rogge.
"The church has already informed the leader of the 'Light Wheel' through the telephonic device, and we don't need to look for this map for too long." Lora pointed to the location of the "light wheel" marked on the map and said to Mana.
"Let's go here first, it's not getting early, or we can stay there for the night and discuss the plan with the chief there." Manna looked at the fading sky, and she began to feel the cold wind that blew as night fell.
The two of them didn't stop too much on the deserted streets, and walked straight to the headquarters of the "Light Wheel" in the center of Verol.
The headquarters of the Light Wheel looks a bit like the architecture of the Church of the Magi, but in detail it is typical of Eastern Suppien. Although this organization was once part of the Church of the Mages, it was separated from the Church of the Mages and moved to the East, and over time it was influenced by the culture of the East.
After Lola and Manna revealed their identities and were hindered by anything, the members of the group seemed to have known they were coming.
Just as the two of them walked into the building, a middle-aged man walked up to them, smiling and greeting them.
"When we first met, I was the leader of the 'Wheel of Light', Wimog, and I was already ...... I've been waiting for you two for a long time."
