A black carriage drove along the main road leading to the Magical Society. The emblem on the carriage is a peculiar one, a disc with a red background, decorated with stars, houses, ribbons, and ears of wheat.

At the fork in the corner, three men dressed in civilian clothes chatting watched the carriage pass by. If you look closer, you will notice that one of the men's eyes glows with gold, but when the carriage pulls out of view, the light slowly dissipates.

"I see, a mid-level mage, a low-level mage, a high-level warrior, two low-level warriors, hmph, this carriage can go sideways in other places, but it is not a big deal in the royal capital. The man, whose eyes shone golden, said in a slightly disdainful tone. He wasn't tall, but he was very burly. Even hiding in this robe, he looked very strong, he shook his dark blue hair, and said, "Let's go, I have seen the reality of these people with my own eyes, and I have the bottom in my heart." Have fun with them in two days. ”

"Macora, don't take the enemy lightly, and don't forget that Olencio and Pargado who died in their camp are not mediocre hands. Said a very ordinary-looking man next to him, his complexion was very dark, he looked like a handyman doing rough work, and his messy brown hair was on his head, giving people a dirty feeling.

"Sancho, you coward who followed them all the way and didn't dare to do anything, don't talk much. It was obviously the strongest high-level of the Shadow Regiment in the Black Mountain region, but he didn't dare to make a move along the way. Macora said with a sneer.

"High-level and high-level are not the same. I don't think it's a big deal for these magicians, and with my own team alone, I can wipe them out of the land of the royal capital. The other, relatively thin man, whispered, playing with seven or eight round stones the size of quail eggs, which flew between his fingers but would not fall from his hands in any way.

"Hmph, Prato, you're right, it's just different! Do you think these two mages are ordinary mid-level and low-level? I have secretly investigated it a long time ago, and even Master Icasa has a different view of him. Not to mention the few battles he has experienced, although I am not a magician, I also know that those records are not something that an ordinary mid-level mage can do. ”

The little man Prato sneered and said no more.

"Alright, let's go back to the nest. Macora concluded.

The pace of the three of them does not seem to be fast, but in fact it is very fast, and the three of them are like phantoms in the city, walking through the streets and alleys, and the pedestrians and carriages around them seem to be unable to see them.

The last few people went to an old building along the river on the outskirts of the aristocratic quarter, pushed the door and walked in.

Inside was a grocery store, and the owner didn't react to a few people coming in and continued to nap on the counter. The three of them walked through a secret door in the room and down the tunnel, but below them was a relatively open hall. Most of the people who came and went were dressed ordinarily and had an ordinary temperament, but the whole room still exuded a murderous atmosphere.

A few people who saw them at the door saluted the three of them,

"Captain!"

"The shadows are forever. Marcora said.

"The shadows are forever. The crowd responded.

"Let's go meet Lord Yepes. ”

This is the royal branch of the Shadowbolts of the Nature Temple. Macora was the leader of the Royal Capital Intelligence Team, and Prato was one of the three Assassin captains of the Branch.

Sancho, on the other hand, was the head of the Montenegrin regional branch, and he had been keeping an eye on the school's every move since it landed in the Montenegrin region, but the two intelligence officers he sent were killed by Rhodes alone in the slave camp. He later sent a second in, but was hanged on the gallows a few days later for his involvement in the slave revolt. Sancho was also unsure whether the man had been exposed or had been involved in the riot. At this point, he didn't dare to act rashly, but personally accompanied Xiao Chen and his party to the royal capital to observe their situation.

However, the more he observed, the more he felt that Xiao Chen and them were unfathomable, so he chose to reach the royal capital and seek the help of Yepes, the head of the branch here. Although he was also the head of the region, Wang Du was obviously much more important than Montenegro, so not only was there many masters in the Wang Capital Branch, but Yepez himself was also a master assassin who had reached the level of a grandmaster.

When Yepes heard the news, he sent a group of capable people to investigate Xiao Chen and his office. That's where this morning's scene came in.

Yepes was a thin, gray-haired old man. When Sancho and the others saw him, he was sleeping in his chaise longue.

After the three of them saluted, Macora reported back: "My lord, my men have been investigating these people for three days, and this morning, I also personally observed them with secret techniques. Aside from some strange customs and unseen magical items, there is nothing too remarkable about these people. ”

Yepes, who was in the chaise longue, opened his eyes slightly, and his gaze swept over Macora to Prato.

"Yes. My lord. I agree with Macora's remark that if you want to investigate the murder of three men in Montenegro, it is better to kidnap two of them and torture them. In the dungeon, we're sure to get what we want. ”

"Is that all?" asked Yepes, his voice very old.

Macora and Prato looked at each other and replied, "Yes." ”

"Fool, have you been dulled like this in the royal capital?" Yepes sat up from his chaise longue and opened his eyes wide, the pressure on the skinny old man was so great that Macora and Prato immediately fell to their knees on one leg.

"You people, who have been doing some things for many years, are no different from those kingdom bureaucrats. Every day I want to solve my work in the simplest way. Then go back to your own small turf and show off your power as a master. Everyone hopes that the world is okay and everything is peaceful. The old man stood up and walked over to the two of them, "Have you forgotten who you are?"

"Don't dare. ”

"The shadows are forever. ”

"A castle that fell from the sky, unheard of magic props, and a mage inheritance who didn't know the details. And the changes in Banderas and Kona after coming into contact with them these days, these may be hiding huge secrets. The enemies of the gods of nature never cease. You're so easy to label these guys of unknown origin as a no-big deal and ready to throw them behind?" the old man asked aggressively, so that the two of them, who had been arrogant in front of Sancho, did not even dare to spit out.

Yepes said to Sancho: "Sancho, you are cautious, that's right. For these mages with great doubts, we can't let them go easily. Be sure to patiently follow them and figure out the secrets. ”

Sancho said, "Lord Yepes, what you said is what I want to do. ”
