In the early morning, Jepes, as usual, stood at the top of the entrance building of the Shadow Order, looking at the royal capital in the morning light with his hands behind his back. He has always had the habit of walking in the dark, but he likes to watch the morning sun rise slowly, and prefers the feeling of looking down on everything around him.

He had stood on the hillside behind the Shadowmen's training camp, then on a small town's clock tower, then on the spire of a castle in Custer City, and now on a royal building. Along the way, he saw countless radiant sunrises, and even saw countless shadows under the sun. He looked at the boulder of the temple in the distance, and thought that if he could stand there next, the sunlight he would see would be even brighter.

Seeing that the entire city was waking up every second, Jepeth jumped from the roof of the building and returned to the Shadow Regiment's residence. When he returned to his office, his henchman Edgar was already waiting for him at the door with breakfast in hand.

Jepes sat down in his seat, picked up a loaf of bread, flattened it into a small piece with his hands, and threw it into his mouth. This is not only his way of dealing with bread, but also his means of dealing with his enemies.

Edgar did not leave after delivering breakfast, but stood at Yepes's table with his head slightly bowed.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" said Yepes, quickly wiping out a large basket of bread in front of him.

"Investigating the situation of Roland's movements, there are already eyebrows, and there is indeed a problem. ”

"It's like, they've all gone to the Knights of the Wind to draw men, he must be playing some big trick. ”

"One of the men he drew was one of ours, and he finally heard that the people of the Present Sect were preparing to launch a major attack on the remnants of the Temple of Wisdom. They had obtained a map of the location of the secret headquarters of the Temple of Wisdom from a certain source. Roland didn't tell Lord Altu that he had secretly intercepted the map and was preparing to mobilize his team to attack the place. ”

"The secret headquarters of the Temple of Wisdom, really? Is this reliable?" said Jepes, rising from his backrest and leaning forward on the table.

"Judging from the information we have received, Roland is clearly serious, and he has mobilized many allies in the temple to support his operation.

We managed to get a copy of the map and sent out some people to make some confirmations around. It also compares the news of the recent appearance of the Temple of Wisdom. There is a high probability that the map is true. ”

"How can you get a map from him, didn't the original he carried with him in his storage ring?" asked Jepes.

However, Roland also has to verify the authenticity of the map, he always has to have someone to advise the operation, and persuade the allies to come up with evidence, and this map is still seen by many people. We picked a few of the more inconsequential ones and let Brusuar come out on top. ”

"The guy who is good at seduction?"

"Yes, his charm has been practiced to the extreme, we have successfully charmed four people, obtained information from their mouths, and then put them together, verified each other, and finally settled on this map. ”

"It's clean, right?"

"Brusuar is a big level above all these people, and they won't remember anything. ”

"Hey, Roland, this is going to steal credit. However, if he breaches the headquarters of the Temple of Wisdom, it will indeed make him a great threat to Lord Altu. Although we have destroyed their temples many times over the millennia. However, these people are like bed bugs, they are always inexhaustible and can not be driven away. Every time someone breaches their main hall, they become a hero for a while. Yepes groaned, "When was the last time you breached their main hall?"

"That was more than 800 years ago. ”

"Hmph, it seems that the wheat is ripe, and it is time for another harvest. Judging from the current intelligence, how is the strength of the main hall of the Wisdom Temple?"

"The Temple of Wisdom has not seen a Sage in many years. Judging from our intelligence, their high priest should be in the Grandmaster realm, and the four third-order priests should all be high-rank. Edgar hesitated, "But it's hard to say if they have some hole cards hidden." ”

"Well, we have to assume that they are all there, and there is backup, I am the only Assassin Grandmaster in the Shadow Regiment's royal capital branch, we still need to gather some allies, I must contact Lord Altu, and it is better to mobilize another Grandmaster to go with me. Jepes finished the last loaf of bread, stood up, and said, "Go, you check all the information carefully, and if there is no problem, I will report the matter to Lord Altu." ”

———————————————————

Not far from the temple of nature, which is made up of huge stones, there is a manor surrounded by greenery. This is where the priests of the Temple of Nature lived.

In a small courtyard, Roland, who had just finished breakfast, sat across from him and said, "My lord, I have a question. ”

"Say it. Roland smiled, as if he had guessed what the other man needed to say.

"Breaking through the main hall of the Temple of Wisdom is a great achievement, and it can also shake the position of Artul, why don't we do it ourselves, but give the opportunity to this guy Yepes? Garneau asked.

"Garneau, everything is like a spider's web, connected but difficult to see. To see the connections between things, sometimes you have to stand farther away and see the whole thing. ”

"Please advise. ”

"What do you think we need to pay for such a feat?"

"Well, are there some people who will sacrifice? But it's normal to have sacrifices to build a career. ”

"Are you going to sacrifice?"

"This ......"

"Garneau, you have a very powerful father, so a lot of times you have a habit of looking at things with a condescending mentality. The higher the goshawk flies, the harder it is to spot the rabbit. ”

"Yes. ”

"I've seen the records of the previous attacks on the Ancient God Temple, and there is not a single one that didn't pay a great sacrifice. We must bring with us the most reliable allies, sacrificing our own strength. What I got was nothing more than a false name. Even if you want to go down in history, there are many ways, so why use such a tragic way? We are not the madmen of the Divine Presence who have the intention of killing the followers of the ancient gods.

It would be different if we let them go, and we will give the people of the Temple of Wisdom a reminder at the last minute. In the past, Yepes was only afraid that he would kick an iron plate, and we could take advantage of his absence in the royal capital to do something that was usually inconvenient.

Do you know how many benefits this has?"

Garno thought for a moment and said, "First of all, it weakens their power, then it strengthens our power in the royal capital, and then there is a reason to impeach Altu. In this way, it is really much more beneficial than attacking yourself. ”

"Not bad. But one last thing, we got the friendship between Master Xiao Chen and those behind him. In my opinion, this may be more valuable than the previous ones. ”
