In the evening, the sunset was already halfway over the horizon and densely packed with houses.

In the dim tones, on the edge of an alley, six people hid behind the door, on the roof or in the shadows of the corner.

These people wore cloaks, covered their faces with triangular scarves, and weapons in their hands, quietly waiting for something.

Behind the chimney on the roof, there were two people half-squatting, one of whom was Xiao Chen. The other was Garneau, Roland's assistant.

"This is a very ordinary task to investigate the corruption of the temple's assets, and Macora will not be too vigilant, he will often take matters into his own hands when he encounters such cases, after all, there is a lot of oil and water. Well, Yepes is gone, and if Macora has a problem at this time, we can do a lot more. But we have to move fast, there are too many eyes in the royal capital, and it is difficult to deal with anything if it is slow. Garneau didn't seem to be used to covering his face, and kept pulling the triangular scarf with his hands, but from his eyes, there was a lot of excitement.

"Is it an ordinary investigation, it seems that there are a lot of such things in the temple?" Xiao Chen said curiously.

"......No," Garneau's brow furrowed, and he paused for a long time before explaining, "However, fresh meat will always rot, and fresh fruit will always have worms. There's going to be some bastards everywhere...... There are always scum and bugs who have forgotten the brilliance of God and are secretly doing dirty things. ”

Seeing Garneau's somewhat annoyed and angry look, Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, an organization that has existed for 10,000 years and has continued from the age of the gods, if it is not corrupted, it is a strange thing not to be ossified, Xiao Chen has always felt that any organization has a life cycle just like a human being, and a silver-leaf priest in the Temple of Nature can use such a big battle against his boss, this organization is afraid that it has entered its twilight years, and many places have become old, right? Which faction is this target of the investigation, Gilles?"

"Centrists, right? These guys are always vacillating, maybe more often than not. But the so-called Modernism, the Divine Presence School, is just one point of view. Isn't it true that the people of their divine presence faction often even beat out the dog's brains for the sake of grabbing food?" Garneau said disdainfully.

"You Present Sect must be more pragmatic, and have a better sense of the overall situation than those people from the Divine Presence Sect, right?" Xiao Chen said with a wicked smile, but he had a triangular scarf around his face, and the other party couldn't see his expression.

"Well, yes. Garneau's face was a little feverish, and he unconsciously lifted the triangular scarf up.

"But this Gilles seems to be very simple. His clothes were so shabby that he didn't have any magic equipment on his body. ”

"Hmph, this is an ambitious fellow, he's always thought of a small place to preside over a temple, and this is the only way to get to the Silver Leaf Priest. This kind of guy who has no background, but is bent on climbing up, can do anything to achieve his goal. He was afraid that he would use all his money and belongings on the road. ”

Xiao Chen heard a sense of superiority from Garneau's words, hearing that he came from a powerful family in the natural temple, his father was also the chief priest of a big city, and his mentor was a silver-leaf priest like Roland, no wonder his eyes were above the top. However, has he forgotten that Roland is also from the grassroots?

I only heard Garneau say: "Only a person like my mentor, Lord Roland, can achieve such an achievement, and this guy Gilles is just a conjecture." ”

It turned out to be the difference between those who succeeded and those who did not, Xiao Chen thought secretly.

"They're coming!" said Garneau. I saw three people who were also wearing cloaks, walking down the alley. The first one with a burly figure peeking out of his hood some of his signature blue hair was none other than Macora.

——————————————

Macora has been very irritable these days.

Two days earlier, Yepes had personally gone out on a mission with two teams of killers, but had left him in the royal capital, nominally because the affairs of the royal capital needed a shrewd and capable person to handle them, but Macora understood that this was clearly excluding him from a big credit. This made him feel very dissatisfied.

Macora is well aware that Yepes is not afraid of him for a day or two. If it weren't for the fact that Yepes had always pressed him on the top of his cultivation, with his achievements accumulated over the years of running up and down, he would have threatened Yepes's position a long time ago.

But despite Macora's inquiry, he was unable to obtain details about the operation. He knew very well in his heart that this guy Yepes was an old shark that smelled blood, and the thing he wanted to mix with but covered so tightly would not be a simple thing.

However, it is not a small fish to be caught today. This guy Gilles has been jumping up and down for a while, and they have been staring at him for a long time, and finally have a chance to get all the stolen goods.

From the available information, it can be inferred that by catching this mouse, the Shadow Regiment can make a small fortune, and Macora himself can earn some pocket money.

He kept thinking in his heart, and before he knew it, he was slowly approaching the encirclement.

————————————————

Xiao Chen and the others waited quietly for them to enter the center of the encirclement, and when Macora's footsteps stepped over the location marked by a stone, they moved.

The first to strike was Garneau, and between the waves of his hands, a soundproof barrier spread across a range of about thirty meters in diameter. This barrier is silent, but there is a hint of magic fluctuation.

Macora was suddenly stunned, as if sensing the changes around him, he immediately pulled out a short sword and made a posture of preparing for battle, and his two subordinates, seeing Macora's reaction, also hurriedly took out their weapons and formed a battle formation back to back with each other.

However, before they could find the attacker, Xiao Chen's Heart of Fear magic had already descended from the sky and exploded among them. After all, Macora was a high-level warrior, and although he was in a trance for a while, he resisted the invasion of fear. But two of his subordinates were affected somewhat, one turned pale and covered his heart, and the other trembled and fell to the ground with his sword in his hand.

At this time, Li Jia, who was hiding around the corner, released a wind binding technique, and an invisible air flow rotated violently around them, the so-called wind binding could not bind everyone's body, but used a strong rotating air flow to make them stagger. Macora burst of fighting spirit rushed out of the range of the air current. But he saw two of his subordinates, like the most lame dancers, hurrying around the ground.

Immediately after that, Garneau released a sluggish technique again, and the three people in the field seemed to suddenly fall into the water, and the air around them seemed to become stagnant and heavy, causing their movements to slow down instantly.

Marcora immediately abandoned his two men and rushed back, trying his best to undo the effects of the negative magic. But before he could run the soundproof barrier, a sword light came from the sky, and Macora blocked the blow with a short sword, but he was beaten back with his sword.
