"According to the information obtained by the Hand of Light, there are two lords of the city who opposed the founding of the country four months ago, namely the lords of Elward and Quelva." Hill groaned and asked, "Qin Lun, which do you think the target of the Santarin Society will be?" ”

Although the Santarim Society already has a way to infiltrate the Supreme Palace during the celebration, there are probably not too many people who can infiltrate it, except for Angelo's pretenders, and at most a few peripheral attendants who cannot approach the core area of the banquet to respond.

In this way, they may not be able to assassinate the lords of Elward and Quelva at the same time, and will have to choose one of them.

Elward is a large city located beneath the southern part of the Eternal Wilderness, very close to the Supreme Forest. The city's races are made up of humans, elves, half-elves, and halflings, and are protected by tall walls.

The city is dominated by commerce and trade, and has been allied with Silvermoon during the war between the goblin tribes of the Eternal Wilds. It's just that the ruling body of the city is the Council of the Six Elders, and the lords are held by the six elders in turn, and there is a strict power struggle within the city.

In fact, these six elders basically support Aylward to join the future Silver Moon Federation, but under the fight against each other, there will always be a few elders who have to choose to become opposition in order to compete with political opponents, and this is the case with the council elders who are now lords.

Elward's desire to join the Silvermoon Federation was a natural trend, as the city had been plagued by enemies from all sides since its founding, and the surrounding environment was very harsh.

Its geographical location is on the plains, with roads extending in all directions and thriving commercial activity. Whether it is the goblins of the Eternal Wilderness or the giants of the wilderness, they covet the riches of the city.

In addition, the Tulang Tree People of the Supreme Forest to the south of the city are gradually pushing the border of the forest to the north, and Aylward is a stumbling block in their way. The reason given by the Tree People is to drive the remnants of Hellgate Fort to the east, but then there will inevitably be a conflict between the two sides.

On the one hand, the Tulang Shuren hate the fact that city dwellers enter the Supreme Forest with axes, and on the other hand, the daily life of the citizens is also affected by the shadow of the woods, and the sunshine hours in the southern urban area are very short.

As for Quierva in this incident, it is a little different from Aylward's situation. It's not a big city like Aylward, it's just a small woodland town.

Quelva is a secondary ally of the Silvermoon Alliance, inhabited by humans and half-elves. The city makes a living from winemaking and timbering, and the people of the Silver Moon Alliance once joked that Quelva had to stay in the Alliance because it had the best woodland inn in the city, the Naruka Tavern!

"I think if there is a choice, the main target of the Santarim Society will be Elward, after all, the city has a larger population and is stronger, and it can have a greater impact on the Silver Moon Alliance."

Qin Lun said without thinking, "What's more, the administrative efficiency of the Elders' Council is too low, and if there is a major event of the lord's assassination, it is estimated that it will be chaotic for a while, and it will achieve the purpose of the Santarin Association to delay the establishment of the Silver Moon Alliance." As for Quelva, the influence is much smaller. Although it can also play a role in shaking the tiger across the mountain, it should only be the second goal. ”

"In any case, now that we have insight into the conspiracy, it will be difficult for the plan of the Santarim Society to succeed." Hill smiled and said, "What are we going to do with Angelo's body?" ”

"You don't have to tempt me, am I such an emotional person? In order not to startle the snake, this old friend of mine may have to stay here for a while. Qin Lun glanced at the old god stick angrily and said in a deep voice.

"With the strict arrangement of the Esan Tallinn Society this time, it is hard to imagine that they will leave such a big flaw. Although I don't know what reason they left in a hurry, and they didn't even dispose of the corpses. But I believe that once they have dealt with the matter at hand, they may be able to turn around, after all, in their opinion, this stronghold has not been exposed. ”

"Hehe, it's best if you think so! We are very lucky, but if we want to achieve this task perfectly, I am afraid that we will need the cooperation of the other party. Hill smiled and nodded, "Two lineups above the legendary powerhouse, we can't fight against it at all, and if we kill the plan of the Santarin Society halfway, we won't get too much world exploration." ”

Hill and Qin Lun each had a smile on their faces, Legendary powerhouse, what a beautiful word!

The people who participated in the assassination plan this time were at least high-level. If they disrupt the Santarim Society's plan halfway, they will no longer assassinate them, and they will only be able to complete the mission with a minimum level of completion. However, if one of the high-level assassins of the Santarin Society, or even the legendary powerhouses, is left, then the benefits of the mission will be maximized in the end.

In this way, they need a group of helpers to block the legendary powerhouses of the Santarin Society in order to defeat each one, and those lords and guards at the Silver Moon Celebration are naturally the best cannon fodder.

As for whether the Silver Moon Alliance would cause heavy losses as a result, this was not within the consideration of the apostles. All they had to do was make the Assassins of the Santarin Society appear at the last minute and destroy the actual effect of the conspiracy.

"I'm sorry, old friend, and I'm going to keep you here a few more days waiting!" Qin Lun put away the flesh puppet, put the tattered clothes back in their original positions, took one last look at Angelo's body, sighed, and turned around and walked outside.

"Sure enough, there are still subtle changes, isn't it just because of the relationship with Elistin?"

What Qin Lun didn't see was Hill behind him, looking at his back and frowning slightly. The shepherd's previous subtle temptation was not so simple. In this world, he and Rand were both sensitive to the fact that Qin Lun was a little different from before.

When the two of them came out of the cellar, they did not say anything about Angelo to Elistine and Idria, but simply said a few perfunctory words, and dealt with the traces left in their farmhouse, and the group disappeared into the deep night again.

……

After Qin Lun and the others left, around dawn, several figures appeared faintly in the early morning mist in the wilderness far away from the farmhouse.

There were almost ten of them, and the leaders of them had black veils on their faces, and they were silent between their movements, and at a glance they knew that they were shadows who had been walking in the dark world for many years.

The men did not laugh or laugh with each other, and their movements were swift and swift, and in a moment they disappeared into the farmhouse.

"Oh, no, I smell something unfamiliar." A dark shadow walking into the cellar suddenly shouted softly in surprise.

"Could it be a rat or something?" One of his companions asked in disbelief.

"No way, we didn't have much time to leave, the smell of blood was much stronger then than it is now, and the secret door of the cellar was open for at least a quarter of an hour before the smell dissipated so quickly." The leader of the dark shadow's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Tell Mosmir to come down and use retrospective magic to see what happened here?" ”

"Chief, it can only last so long." A thin black figure wiped the sweat from his forehead and said tiredly.

In front of him was a blurry image with a halo of magic, which was flickering unsteadily, eventually turning into bits of light and dissipating into the air.

Still, that was enough, and the dozen or so dark shadows surrounding the mirror image had seen what had happened hours earlier. Although the backtracking magic was so vague that it was impossible to discern the faces and appearances of the people who broke into the cellar, it at least confirmed that the secret stronghold had been exposed.

"Damn, just a little away, those greedy gnolls are damned......" One of the tall figures in the dark shadow slammed his fist into the cellar wall, shaking the entire cellar while the other shadows fell into a terrible silence.

"We've been preparing for so long, should we give up at the last minute?" After a while, a dark shadow hoarsely said in a hoarse voice.

"No, we can't give up, Silver Moon has already put so much pressure on the organization during the alliance stage, and we must not allow them to establish a unified federal state." The leader of the shadows said in a firm tone.

"Don't forget the expectations of the leaders of the 'Inner Ring' for this mission, as well as the massive resources invested by the organization. If we don't even try it and just go back, the consequences can be imagined......"

"But...... Leader, if the plan has been exposed, we can't get the enchantment of the Supreme Palace, and the chance of succeeding in assassinating the Lord of the Silver Moon Council head-on will not be higher than 10%. The shadows said hesitantly.

"Lord Milot, please don't worry too much! According to the information you provided, the identity of the object of the 'crow' disguise is special, and although the status is very high, there are very few people in Silvermoon City who know him, and the intruder may not be able to find out his identity in just a few days. ”

The person who spoke was one of the few unmasked young people in the dark shadow, this young man had thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and although his face was handsome, there was always a trace of gloom on his face.

At this time, he smiled and pointed to the corpse to remind everyone, "What's more, judging from the blurry images of the intruders just now, it seems that they are not heavily armed silver guards, maybe just some adventurers passing by the farm." It doesn't necessarily come to mind, and it may even be thought of as a gnolloll. ”

"Weiss is right, our plans haven't been fully exposed, and maybe we can take a gamble." The leader of the dark shadow perked up his spirits, and his eyes became more and more gentle as he looked at the young man, and it was clear that he admired the junior who had only joined the Santarin Society a few months ago.

"Bet? No, Lord Milot, I never gamble, and I don't like this kind of game where the odds of winning are small. The young man named Weiss bowed, but his expression was tinged with pride, "I just think that this plan is not on the verge of failure, but I will not bet that this plan has not been exposed at all." ”

"Oh? Weiss, what do you think......" The leader frowned slightly and asked cautiously.

"Since there is a flaw, let's add a backup plan!" Weiss smiled lightly and gradually lowered his voice.

After a while, the shadows in the cellar finally dispersed again, cleaned up all the blood and corpses in the cellar, and quickly left the farm, disappearing into the morning light. Now that everything is ready, they don't need to stay in this stronghold that may have been exposed.
