The only difference is that Sir Victor catches up with the surge period of the rising tide, and the aces of the Dark Police Department who rushed to the scene are against the current, and they can't make a passage with their fists and feet, so they can only clean up the mess after arriving at the scene.

Fortunately, the most critical thief was caught, and the night knight with good eyes found that the target was Musk, a famous veteran thief shadow figure in the dark world, whose name was listed on the wanted list, and the bounty was as high as four digits, and his face did not show anything, and he had already cheered happily in his heart.

'Who did that?'' Naturally, he was the Night Watchman of the Attached City Guard. ''What?'' 'Those Look-Likes?'' 'Really!'' 'Not kidding?'

After intensive eye contact, the seven Night Knights who arrived at the scene one after another reached a consensus and began to receive the stolen goods and suspects handed over by the Night Patrol Knights in accordance with the regulations. When they learn from Captain Rufu West that Shadowhand Musk may be subordinate to the Shattered Mask, and solemnly warns of the possibility of a resurgence of the evil organization that had been fought by the High Lords, the Night Knights expressed disbelief and skepticism about Captain West's professionalism on the spot.

However, when they examined the wounds on the back of the chest and back of the 'bad' Knight Aldrich Triss, the veteran Night Knight Titus fell into deep thought, and then nodded in acknowledgment of Captain West's judgment.

"Shadow wounds, the scars of this charred beast's minions, I can't be mistaken. It seems reasonable to assume that the Broken Masks, which had been dormant for ten years, have begun to operate again, and that their methods have always been to actively recruit the evil as members in the dark world. It's just that we don't know for the time being, whether this veteran thief shadow handler who has been famous for many years is a core member of the organization. ”

Raul Blank, who is familiar with him and has worked with him for many years, smiled and narrowed his eyes: "In this way, the 'Gray Nest' that has been closed for many years is about to open again, and I hope that the tail needle of the queen bee is still as sharp as new." ”

Titus glanced at him, "You're talking too much nonsense!" he looked sideways at Rufer West, the captain of the Night Watchman, "We've taken this person with us, and after identifying him, the bounty for him will be distributed to you soon." ”

"As for Knight Aldrich Triss, who was injured during the capture, let him recuperate in peace, there is no need for us to disturb him. The power of the Shadow is hard to deal with, especially now that there is no healing art, it is a real headache. ”

Captain West heard a muffled cough behind him, he frowned, stepped closer, and reached out to pull the Night Knight aside, and the rest of the people immediately walked away consciously.

"Isn't there a way for the Dark Police Department? Aren't you masters who are proficient in alchemy, you should be able to mix potions to heal minor injuries!"

"You know that we have a lot of internal affairs, and even inquired about this secret that is not open to the public. Titus looked around, satisfied that there were no idle bystanders around, so he lowered his voice, "For your sake, too, I can assume that I didn't hear it." And you're a little wrong, there is no legendary healing potion with miraculous effects, what that master has is only personal experience and luck, there is no precise formula at all, and the resulting finished product has already been distributed to you?"

Rufer West was stunned for a moment and then quickly reacted, "Hemostatic powder!" A wry smile appeared on his face, "It can't be a dried product of a healing potion, right?"

"You guessed it, but unfortunately there are no prizes, and this secret is only known to you. ”

Captain West nodded vigorously, and Titus was satisfied with the silent promise. It's a pity that neither of them noticed that Aldrich Tris, who was squatting on the ground, had a different sense of hearing than others, and no subtle sound could escape his ears, but he was still fighting against the shadow power in his body, barely suppressing it from wreaking havoc on his body, and the 'weak' state of constant coughing and hemoptysis also dispelled many people's vigilance.

Shadowman Musk was taken away by the Dark Police Department, and the Night Watchmen were divided into two groups, most of whom continued to patrol the streets, while five men, led by Captain Rufer West, 'escorted' the wounded Aldrich back to the fortress-like walled tower.

The Dark Police Department, which is funded by the City Hall and is directly under the Earl of Eastwood, does not know that they have taken the gangsters from the scene of the murder, and before they are sent to the Grey Nest, there is a pressure from the Federation of Merchants to turn over the suspects.

The Night Knights led by Titus and the Lord Knights led by City Councilor Anse Claire faintly confronted each other, although the number was five times that of the other party, the sober and shrewd Lord Claire did not break out, but Titus's attitude was a little aggressive, after all, their force far exceeded that of ordinary full-time knights, especially now in the middle of the night when they could give full play to the combat power of the Night Knights, if they formed a crow battle array, I believe that it would not take a quarter of an hour to strangle the rookie knights on the opposite side who had not been on the battlefield.

The opportunity to break through the impasse came from the report of Sir Victor of the Infirmary, and the operation was extremely successful, and the wounded were rescued from the brink of death, only to lose too much blood and be in a coma.

The crimes of the veteran thief Musk have been lowered by a few notches, and ordinary cases such as theft and wounding cannot enter the filing cabinet of the Secret Police Department. However, just as Anse Claire was complacent, Titus removed the Broken Mask signboard and claimed that the suspect who wielded the power of the Shadows was most likely a core member, so the councillor, who was unwilling to wade into troubled waters and provoke the hostility of the Dark World, gave up his claim and watched as the target he was about to reach entered the Grey Lair.

"Go back!" said Ansai Claire, whose face was gloomy and almost dripping, feeling that he had been tricked, rashly got into the inner secret war of the merchants' federation, and made a stupid move, if his rivals learned of the reason, sooner or later he would take the opportunity to remove him from the seat of the council.

More than thirty lords and knights were in the pleasure of confronting the ace of the Secret Police Department just now, which was a future boast of their capital to friends and relatives, and they did not see the ugly face of the city councilor, and perhaps they saw it but did not take it seriously. Anyway, there are people in front of them, they are a group of people who will never take any responsibility and are selfish, especially when bad things happen.

In the dark depths where the lights can't shine, the undercurrent is surging and flowing, and something very simple changes dramatically, and everyone is caught off guard, some are ready to remedy the aftermath, some are trying to cover up the truth, and there are even frequent behind-the-scenes deals, exchanging chips in each other's hands.

As for the dark world with roots in and out of Eastwood, they soon learned what was happening on Amber Avenue, and the reappearance of the Shadow Force also caused a sudden change, and they had already found the broken mask that had fallen and risen.

The early contact and temptation, both sides paid a bloody price, but the blood was worth paying, at least the bigwigs of the underground round table council initially learned the strength of the broken mask.

A respectable opponent, but don't worry too much. Times are different, and any organization needs a lot of money to function, and the bigwigs who are attached to Eastwood City and whose finances are getting rich can use the money to smash this ancient secret society that has just been restored.

There are too few people in the world who can resist the magic of money, and they simply cherish animals. The creed of the bigwigs is that there is no one who cannot be bought, but the price paid is not big enough.

As an indirect trigger, Knight Aldrich Triss stayed in the fortress-like walled building, his own room, lying on the bed and silently entangled with the dark power in his body.

The sinister wind and waves outside the Nightwatchman's garrison could not blow him at all, after all, the strongest city guard in Eastwood City silently held up the safe dome for the Knight of Tris. The scene of him coughing and coughing up blood from time to time when he was 'seriously injured' made it impossible for more than a dozen waves of people who came with different purposes to ask, greet, visit, interrogate, inquire and express condolences.

"A good knight, but unfortunately he was ruined by the power of shadows. ”

This is the opinion of most outsiders, for the layman's evaluation, not to mention Aldrich Tris, even Rufer West also scoffed, as a night watchman who has seen all kinds of scenes for many years, his knowledge of the human body is far more than the knights in the infirmary who think they are experts, although there is no real vision, but Captain West can see that the newly recruited knight with a sword is getting better little by little.

The simplest and most direct evidence of this is that Aldrich Triss's cough has become intermittent, and the blood he coughs up has slowly faded from purple to close to the original color of blood.

After two days of resting on the bed, breathing in the morning light, Aldrich, who had recovered most of his injuries, was finally able to walk normally, and the most fundamental reason for his slow recovery was known only to him. It turns out that the power of the shadow is not difficult to deal with, but the knight of Tris frequently used the knight technique during the day yesterday and caused a slight overdraft of the body, so he will be taken advantage of by the power of the shadow, if he is at the peak, this kind of humiliating thing will definitely not happen.

However, when Aldrich left the wall tower and came to the camp to prepare breakfast, he received the attention of all the night watchmen, and then Rufer West took the lead in applauding, at first the applause was only sparse, but when the embarrassed brute Kent clapped his hands vigorously, and no one wanted to be a villain, the applause shook like thunder, and from time to time some people cheered with emotion.

"Fifteen hundred silver Dele's bounty has been stripped back layer by layer, and there are only nine hundred and eighty-four in hand, and I am the master of donating nine hundred in your name to subsidize everyone's food. Captain West lowered his voice to explain why Aldridge was so popular, but his worries were unfounded.

Knight Triss didn't care about these details at all, but asked with some joy: "In this way, how many grades will our food be raised?" ”

Rufer West was astonished, and stared into his eyes carefully, as if trying to see if it was a disguise of hypocrisy, but he was disappointed, and then a little depressed, Aldrich Triss's words were entirely sincere.

The camp's long tables were all put together, piled with a dozen plates of genuine barbecued sausages, emitting an enticing burnt aroma. It's cut into neat slices, fried in oil and sandwiched between two slices of bread. Seeded bell peppers are stuffed with salted mashed potatoes and spinach, served with a large pot of vinegar-soaked black beans and strawberry jam as sweet as honey.

"Even if it's a slice of brown bread, if you dip it in jam, it tastes good. ”

Aldrich Triss recovered from his illness and needed to eat a large amount of food, so he reached out and humbly asked Captain West to pick out a plate to fill it before concentrating on the breakfast in front of him.

Everyone cheered, this hearty breakfast was thanks to this knight with a sword, the original newcomer to join the 'test' was automatically canceled, and no one wanted to mention it, after all, a knight who was willing to share the bounty with everyone was too rare.

Aldrich Triss was recognized and accepted by the Night Watchmen, both because of his prowess and because of the fact that the Nine Hundred Silver Deleks were used to improve their daily meals.
