Arteman took the money bag and left the tavern.

When he left, he simply dropped the sentence: "This time tomorrow, I will wait for you in this seat." ”

Seeing Artiman leave, at this time, the black-robed man put three gold dinars on the table and whispered to Su Hao: "You and your friend's wine, I have a treat, this place is not suitable for chatting, let's find a suitable place to chat." ”

With that, he put on his hood.

Only then did Su Hao notice that the tone of his voice was a little different, and even his eyes seemed to become a little vigilant, presumably he was going to discuss something very important and very secret with himself next.

"Alright, brothers, let's withdraw."

The group then walked out of the tavern, and came to a hidden dwelling in the depths of an alley, and when he knocked on the door three times, the small window on the door opened softly, revealing a very old face. The man trembled and asked, "Sir, what are you here for?" ”

The black-robed man smiled and said, "I'm here to buy fish." ”

"Buying fish? What fish do you buy? ”

The black-robed man replied, "I only buy 5 North Sea Bladefish. ”

The old face nodded, and said lightly, "Come in." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.

Under the leadership of the old man, the group came to the hospitality hall, which was decorated with commonly used furniture, with swords and shields hanging on the walls, the walls were a little uneven, and between the ceiling and the walls there were reliefs of crows, eight-legged war horses, Odin God of War and the Eternal Spear, I have to say that these reliefs are very delicate and have extremely high artistic value.

All in all, the decoration here is typical of the Nord style, which not only has the rough characteristics of its national cultural color, but also shows the delicate character of the owner.

At this time, the black-robed man gave Su Hao a look, Su Hao understood, and then said to his subordinates with a smile: "You wait for me here, I will discuss something with this friend." ”

The subordinates brought by Su Hao were all very witty guys, and when they saw Su Hao say this, they just smiled and nodded. On the contrary, Dwight saw that there was a large courtyard behind the hall, in which there were arrow targets, dummies, and weapon racks, and there were wooden practice swords and crossbows, and immediately suggested that they go to learn martial arts together. This suggestion was immediately agreed by all.

At this time, the black-robed man took Su Hao to a small room next door, and the two sat down next to a small round table, and he asked, "Su, I think you should have guessed my identity, right?" ”

Su Hao smiled and said, "Your identity?" All I know is that you are now my friend. ”

The man laughed and said, "Sure enough, I am a wonderful person, you can see at a glance the architectural heritage hidden under the bones of the little old man of Artimaan, can't you still see the true identity hidden under my little black robe?" ”

Seeing that the other party confessed, Su Hao didn't sell it anymore, so he said: "I noticed that you have a silk thread about as thin as a hair tied around your waist, I guess this is a metal thread, although it is slender, but it is extremely tough, enough to strangle a person's throat, and I saw that the palm of your hand exposed when you were drinking, there is a strangulation mark on the palm, and the trace is very deep... I'm ascertaining that you're an assassin. ”

The man's expression suddenly became a little serious, and he said, "I thought you guessed my profession by looking at the knife bag I was pinning to my belt, but I didn't expect you to be able to observe so many details... Hair-thin wires, you can see... I have to say that your observation is amazing... It seems that in this Nord region of the North Sea, where the assassin profession is extremely unpopular, I still can't let my guard down too much. ”

Su Hao smiled and said: "You won the prize, you deliberately exposed some details, let me guess your profession, if you hide it a little, I can't guess it." ”

The man smiled and said, "How about we make a deal?" ”

Su Hao asked, "What deal?" ”

"As you can see, I am an Assassin, a member of the Assassins' Guild Sagoth Branch, and I have come to the Woche to rebuild the Woche Branch."

Su Hao was a little surprised: "Rebuild the Woche Branch?" Did they commit something? ”

The black-clad assassin nodded, "Exactly. We, the Assassins' Guild, have always been neutral and never be a pawn of a particular force. Of course, we do not refuse the entrustment of some upright nobles and other forces, but we will never serve some aristocratic scum and bandits, and underground evil forces. Recently, though, the Assassin Chapter of the Nest has gone a little out of line... Do you know the president of the Nord Chamber of Commerce? ”

Su Hao nodded, these days he got along with the desperate merchant Dis, but he knew some information about the president of the branch of the Chamber of Commerce: this product is called Oak, he is the president of the branch of the Nord Chamber of Commerce on the surface, but secretly he does some dirty things, such as colluding with the underground underworld forces of Wocheze, controlling the night order of the city, cracking down on peers, driving up prices, and communicating with the pirates, robbing the merchants, and buying bulk goods that the pirates don't need at a low price, such as iron, wheat, flax, animal skins, etc., and then selling them at a high price in the city's market...

In general, he did a lot of dirty things, which made Diess, the vice president, quite a little bit of criticism of Oak, the president... By the way, who knows if the group of pirates who attacked his caravan was in collusion with Oak?

"Recently, this Oak has gone too far, and he has actually contacted the people of our Wocheze Assassin Chapter, used the dinar to open the way, corrupted them little by little, transformed them into his personal killing tools, and used our Assassin Chapter to assassinate many of his rivals... Hehe, I think it's time to clean up this group of traitors who have turned their backs on the faith of the dark gods! ”

Su Hao listened, nodded, and agreed, he was not shocked on the surface, but in fact he had set off a storm in his heart! Just imagine, hearing such a secret means that you have fallen into the whirlpool between the two major forces, you want not to intervene, but one arm has been trapped, how can you easily get out? If you are not careful, it will be the pain of a broken arm!

He pondered for a long time and asked, "What do you want?" ”

The black-clad assassin said, "I'm understaffed here and have been struggling with this matter, but today I saw you and your people at the bar, both of whom are very good fighters, so I would like to ask you to join us this time...... The Assassins' Guild is coming up in a cleansing operation! ”

Su Hao thought about it, and the five fingers that were flat on the table rhythmically tapped a series of rhythmic "dong dong sounds", and after such a long time, he said with a wry smile: "I don't seem to have the right to refuse?" ”

The black-clothed assassin spread his hands and said, "If you pretend not to see through my identity as an assassin, it naturally represents a refusal... It's a pity that you are so honest and don't know how to disguise at all. ”

Su Hao smiled and said, "The reason why I didn't pretend to be stupid is because we are friends, and between friends, we should naturally treat each other with sincerity, instead of deceiving and concealing each other, right?" ”

The black-robed assassin's face turned red, then he returned to normal, he stood up, made a cross fist salute at Su Hao, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Su, as a friend, I shouldn't have pulled you into this whirlpool, but as a member of the guild, I can only use this means that even the dark god disdains to win over all the allies I can woo... I'm sorry, I really don't have a choice. ”

Su Hao smiled, hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "Mr. Black Robe, you are really serious, in fact, as a friend, I should help you, and as a Nord person, in order to maintain the business environment of my country, I should do my part... I shouldn't have refused, let alone pretended to be stupid and avoided it, could I? ”

Hearing Su Hao say this, Mr. Black Robe was stunned for a moment, then laughed, pointed at Su Hao and laughed: "What a wonderful person, he can really speak well, but with this eloquence, I am far inferior to you!" So, did you promise me? ”

Su Hao nodded and said, "My people and I can definitely join this operation, but I want to know, how many people do you have?" How many people are on the other side? Where is your club located? ”

Mr. Black-robed said, "There are 7 people including me, among them, I am the leader of the assassins, 5 are black-clothed assassins, and one woman is a white-clothed assassin. There were 31 people on the other side, including 1 Assassin Leader, 5 Assassins in Black, 10 Assassins in Gray, and 15 Assassins in White. As for the clubhouse, it's at the Ocean Garden. ”

"The Ocean Garden? The nest car is the largest wind and moon field? ”

Mr. Blackrobe nodded.

Su Hao continued to ask: "What kind of combat power do the different colors of clothes represent?" ”

The black robe explained: "The combat power from high to low is the leader, the black clothes, the gray clothes, and the white clothes, the leader is equal to two Nord royal guards, the black clothes are equal to one, the gray clothes are equal to the senior veterans, and the white clothes are equivalent to the skilled infantry." However, Assassins are good at assassination, and if they go head-to-head, they are no match for professional soldiers of the same rank. ”

Su Hao frowned and said, "It's a little tricky. ”

Mr. Blackrobe said, "I will continue to contact others. ”

Su Hao shook his head and said, "I see that your contact is not a day or two, no one wants to intervene between your two major forces, and it is futile to continue to contact like this, but it is easy to pull in the guys who shouldn't be pulled in." In addition, if it is delayed for a long time, it is easy to expose the intention, I will contact a key person again to test his tone, if I can get his help, then this matter will be nine out of ten. ”

Mr. Black Robe couldn't help asking, "Who?" ”

Su Hao replied: "The president of the Woche branch of the Nord Chamber of Commerce, a desperate businessman. ”
