Chapter 316: Late Night Secret Talk

The Rat King said that the executioner's bedroom was surrounded by walls, and there were no secret passages inside, and if the scorched-faced man was not hiding something there, he was waiting for someone there.

I asked the Rat King, was that scorched-faced man also a cultivator, and why did he dare to come here?

At this, the Rat King just shook his head: "I don't know him. ”

"But why do I think that when you first saw him, you seemed to feel very uncomfortable, and you seemed to be very disgusted with this person."

"I suspect that he was involved in a recent poisoning case."

I took out the head of the spear, gently chiseled the door that was about to be eaten by rust, and asked the rat king, "Poisoning?" ”

The Rat King responded: "Some time ago, the guard at the western gateway of the sewer was poisoned, the poison is not fatal, but it can make a person fall into a coma for a long time, and there is currently evidence that the black fire was not in the shanty town for a while on the night the guard was poisoned. ”

At the very beginning of his conversation, I had scraped a hole in the fragile door panel, and I leaned in front of the entrance to look at the light square, just waiting for the scorched-faced man's accomplice to appear.

He didn't seem to have come out since he entered the executioner's bedroom, and I guessed he wasn't looking for something somewhere, but was waiting for someone.

After a long time, I guess it took more than forty minutes, and sure enough, someone got into the square through the hole.

It was an old man in his sixties and seventies, and unlike most of the residents of Haishi, he was slightly fat, his hair was very neatly groomed, and his red and white beard was carefully trimmed.

His clothes were a bit too neat, and the clothes were woven from a complete fabric, which was not something that ordinary people could afford in the market, and I had only seen similar clothes on the Rat King until now.

The other party is either a nobleman or some extremely powerful person.

Could it be Ymir?

Thinking of this, I immediately beckoned the Rat King to come to the door and look: "Look at the person outside, do you know him?" ”

With that, I moved away to make way for the Rat King.

As soon as the Rat King approached the doorway, his face suddenly showed extreme surprise, and even the corners of his eyebrows trembled twice.

"Acquaintance?" I asked.

"Redbeard, the bishop of the Sea Court, is nominally the most powerful person in the Sea City. How did he get here? ”

"The question is, how did he get in."

The Rat King was stunned for a moment and turned his face to me: "You mean ......"

"I mean, there are moles in the people you planted at the entrance to the sewers."

The Rat King frowned several times and pursed his lips vigorously.

I pulled him away, leaned over to the door again, and after entering the square, I first glanced at the power room, as if I was worried that the evil spirits in the power room would trouble him, and then, probably thinking that there was nothing unusual, I walked straight to the door of the executioner's quarters and knocked on the door.

The noise from the generator was quite noisy, and since he was far away from us, I could only see his movements, but I couldn't hear the knock on the door.

Soon, the door was pushed open from the inside, and the scorched-faced man peeked half of his face through the crack in the door, glanced at Redbeard, and then quickly pushed the door open entirely.

When Redbeard entered, he closed the iron door again.

I waited a moment to make sure that the Scorched-faced Man and Redbeard hadn't opened the door again to observe the situation outside, and then quickly left the power room with the Rat King and made their way towards the executioner's quarters.

When the two of us came to the door, Redbeard and the scorched-faced man had been talking for a while, and as I leaned my face against the door panel, I heard a slightly older voice say, "...... I can't stand it. ”

I only heard half of what he said, and I didn't know what he was talking about.

Then I heard a slightly younger voice say, "Be patient." ”

Even a fool can guess who these two voices belong to.

The strange thing is that Redbeard is obviously a ghost pawn, but when he speaks, his tone is obviously a little cowardly, and the momentum of the scorched-faced man is obviously pressing him hard.

Then I heard Redbeard say, "When will I see the King of the Yellow Coat?" ”

The scorched-faced man responded: "You can't call him the King of the Yellow Clothes, you should call him the true god." ”

"When will I see the true God?"

"As I said, you have to be patient enough in this matter, and when I finish my mission, I will definitely take you to meet him."

"You haven't found the vein yet?"

This sentence is the point!

The scorched-faced man suddenly became alert: "You'd better not talk about the ore veins on the Rat King's territory. ”

Redbeard also lowered his voice: "But there is evidence that the ore vein is in his territory, but he himself doesn't seem to know about it." If the legendary veins really exist......"

"Alright, that's the end of the conversation." The scorched-faced man forcibly interrupted Redbeard's words, and then he asked Redbeard again: "You've done almost everything I taught you, right?" ”

"Rest assured, I've planted the Brotherhood on the Sea Worm's ship, and I'll arrange a fairly easy final test for them this year. But can those people in the Brotherhood really go to sea? As you know, the inhabitants of the Sea City cannot leave the Inland Sea unless the King of Yellow allows them to do so. ”

"Again, you should call him the true God. My Bishop, have you not guessed who founded the Brotherhood? ”

"Some people say that the Brotherhood is nothing more than the Rat King's eyeliner in the underworld."

"Rat King, don't make trouble, he's just a mortal, and he doesn't have the ability to control the powerful Brotherhood at all. The boss of the Brotherhood is our true god. ”

"Yes...... How is this possible! Are you saying that the true God has always lived underground? ”

"I'm afraid so. Okay, it's not too early, I have to go back to the shantytown, and the next time you come, it's better to be early, I can't leave the shantytown for too long. ”

"When is the next time we meet?"

"After the final test, hopefully I'll be able to find the vein by then. The old rule, you get out of here first, and I'll leave in five minutes. ”

Hearing this, Redbeard is about to come out of the house!

I didn't dare to hold it up, so I immediately retreated to the center of the square with the Rat King, and shrank behind the charred black stone pillar.

Apart from this pillar, there is no other cover in the entire square, and if you don't hide yourself through it, you will still be discovered by Redbeard.

Sure enough, as soon as the Rat King and I hid behind the stone pillar, Redbeard came out of the house, and he quickly glanced around the square a few times to make sure it was safe before quickly getting out of the square.

I could indeed have caught him immediately, but this is the bishop of Haiting after all, and if the news of his disappearance spreads, it will definitely alert the cultists.
