Chapter 14: Bad News

Lorenzo hid in the trading house for less than a day, and in the afternoon of the next day, the spies sent out by Maqin brought back information.

Ma Qin's face darkened and he came to the room where Lorenzo and his party were resting.

Lin Lichuan said: "Old Ma, what's wrong?"

"There is two pieces of bad news. He went to the room and sat down in front of Lorenzo and Lin Lichuan, "The first bad news is: the previous information was wrong, and the enemy had not two, but three. In addition to the previously mentioned Polidaro and Miliana, there is another Sage who was active in the outer villages and towns the other day, and his name is Agulto. This Agulto is a complete lunatic, he is doing lawless things in the surrounding towns, and my intelligence agent was almost killed by him while gathering intelligence. ”

"Lawlessness?" Lin Lichuan didn't quite understand what the other party meant.

Ma Qin said with a look of disgust: "Generally speaking, it is the common people who are fish and meat, doing evil, bullying men and women, anyway, you can't be wrong to use relevant words on him." ”

"Are you saying this Sage is a bully?" Lin Lichuan was a little surprised, in his opinion, even if he had a different position, the Sage must be someone who had reached a certain realm. These things that Ma Qin said don't look like they were done by a master.

"These guys are selfish and crazy people in the first place!" Garneau, who had not spoken, interjected at this time, "It stands to reason that they and our natural temple should be in a cooperative relationship, but look at what they have done since they came to this world? For the sake of their own rebirth, they killed most of the Divine Presence faction who supported the arrival of the god of nature the most, and because they wanted to seize control and resources, they involuntarily started a war with our living faction. ”

Lorenzo smiled and said, "The Sage is a human being after all, and human beings will have human weaknesses. Although I don't know what kind of place the Divine City is like, even if it is the land of the Divine Kingdom where the river flows with honey and milk, what if you stay in it for thousands of years and can't come out? Some people may be able to maintain some sanity, but there are certainly others who can't control their desires. Maybe this Agulto is like that.

That's a good thing, if you want me to say. You are willing to deal with such a person who cannot control his desires and indulges in the pleasures of the world all day long. Or are you willing to deal with a person who is strict with himself, cultivates all day, and is always ready to start a war?"

"It's true. "At least among the nobles, the ones who are most content with pleasure are certainly the weakest in combat. ”

Lorenzo saw that she was moved by emotion and asked, "I heard that this time I followed Liu Yisheng through the empire to the north to find the Star Tower, and you went home by the way to teach a lesson to those brothers who forced you out of the house back then?"

Kalanda said: "That's not my home, my home is where Lao Chen is." But you're right, going back this time made me see the fragility of those people more clearly, tomorrow is so good, but that kind of hedonistic life really ruined them. ”

Lorenzo said: "That's it, this Agurto can be our breakthrough." I wonder what the relationship between the other two Sages and him is?"

Ma Qin said: "Among the three, the highest status is the female saint Miliana, but she seems to have suffered some injuries before, so she can't suppress the other two. The mage named Polidaro was a little more cooperative, but Agulto had always been reluctant to go into the city. Twice Miliana sent him into the city to do something, but not only did he not listen, but he also blasted both messengers out of the town. ”

Lorenzo had a smile on his face at this time, and he said, "Isn't that great?" I'm afraid that there is no contradiction between them. So what is Polydaro doing?"

Ma Qin said: "Miliana gave him the task of coercing the nobles in the city to contribute grain, grass and funds. These days, he is asking for money, people, food, and cultivation resources from one family to another. However, Miliana didn't seem to be very satisfied with his work either, as Polidaro put a lot of cultivation resources and magic materials that should be turned in into his pocket. He knew that Miliana had placed someone around him to oversee his work. But he still blatantly stuffed things into his pockets. ”

"Is he robbing himself of cultivation resources?" Lin Lichuan said.

Garneau said, "These saints, who came out of the city of God, have nothing on their bodies. Originally, all of their cultivation resources and weapons and equipment should have been provided by the Natural Temple. But in this situation, it is not so easy for them to get the resources and equipment reserved by the Present Sect, after all, there are many secret vaults that are the secrets of our Present Sect, and they are not so easy to find. As a result, the resources they have at hand must be very tight. Shencheng is a place where strength speaks, and whoever recovers to his original strength first will definitely be able to achieve a relatively high status. It's not hard to understand why Polidaro would do this if he wasn't afraid of Miriana. ”

"It seems that although these three people are assigned to a temple, the internal contradictions are quite large. Lorenzo pondered for a moment and said, "In other words, the three of them basically act alone, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Then we should plan for them. Lorenzo's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.

Ma Qin continued: "The other bad news is our inside line, in Valerino, the head of the Shadow Regiment...... He's dead. ”

"How did you die?" asked Lorenzo.

"I choked on eating. Ma Qin said.

"What?!" several people shouted in unison.

The regional leaders of the Shadow Regiment like Valerino are mostly at the level of masters, and this kind of person can't die even if he swallows steel slag, how can he choke to death by rice?

Ma Qin said: "It is said that Miliana made it herself. These days, she was checking the accounts inside the temple, and Valerino's accounts were naturally unclean, and she found many gaps. In order to prevent the other party from investigating, he secretly made a lot of stumbling blocks, including creating an accident where the assistant that Miliana brought to check the accounts accidentally died. Originally, he wanted to drag this matter down until Miliana lost patience. But I didn't expect this woman to be far more resolute than she looked. She found out that Valerino might have done this, and although she couldn't find evidence of the assassination plan, she took action to kill him. She didn't start any trial, but chose the same way as the other party, creating an accident and causing him to die. This is clearly an example of killing chickens and monkeys. ”

Lorenzo said: "Quite a clean method. Unabashedly, I told others that I was the one who killed this disobedient guy. ”
