"Make the flames bigger, okay, that's it. Thomas said to the Brotherhood member Lille "The road ahead is in tatters, and if you are not careful, there will be problems, so try to get as much light as possible." Lille made the flame of the torch in his hand much louder, and in an instant, the surroundings became bright. Irina followed, observing the damp cavern, which looked like it had been abandoned for years, but the wooden beams that supported the cave were still sturdy. Thomas tells Irina that the cave existed when he was a child, and that it may have been an important hiding place before he was born, but no one had entered it for years. "You can feel it, too, it's damp and dark here. He told Irina as he looked at the passageway that might collapse at any moment.

"Lord Thomas, there seems to be a fork in the road!" called Lille as the other two members ran over and stuck their torches in the iron frame on the cave wall. Lille was Thomas's most proud officer, and before the formation of the Brotherhood, Lille was just an ordinary weaver. He always thought that he could be qualified to be in the hand of a king, and even to manage an entire army, but it seemed that fate did not favor this weaver with great ideals, "This is the gods who are blind and do not see me as a talent." "He would say that wherever he went and who he met, and people liked to call him 'the 'fallen from grace' Lille.

"Look, sir. Lille said.

Thomas and Irina followed, and Thomas looked at the fork, "The man in black, this fork leads to the outside of the city walls on the left and the residence of Chutai Mahler on the right, he is the only nobleman in Seahorse Town, and his gold and silver treasures can fill the entire winery, but he does not know that we have mastered his wealth. He seemed very proud, "However, we are not going to do anything to him yet, as soon as the time comes, his wealth will be ours, so let's continue to the left." Lille led the way, with Irina and Thomas following behind, followed by Cripple Joyner and his brother Joyd. Joyner is silent, and his younger brother Joyd has endless words, but no matter what he says, it is all nonsense, Lille always reprimands Joyd in front of Thomas, but today Lille ignored him, perhaps because this mission is a bit special, and he has responsibilities, he doesn't want to quarrel with that waste.

"Why don't you go to the right? If you go to the right, you can get a bag of gold coins, and the journey is not in vain. Joyd said to his brother, "Damn, the water is so cold underground, I can't stand the ice water here, is it a glacier on it, or is it a big ice cube for freezing seahorse spirits." ”

"Shh......h Don't speak, your voice is like a plague, anyone on top can hear it, be quiet. Joyner said.

"What's the matter? Will they swim in the ice water or lie in the booze. Joyd said loudly to his brother. Joyner ignored him, he still ignored him, "I suddenly found that this place has been abandoned for many years, if you calculate carefully, at least twenty years, this hole in the ground is really strong, look at that wooden beam, although it is a little bad, there is no problem in holding on for another ten years, but the point is that it is the brotherhood who claims justice passing by here, do you say it is an adult." Thomas ignored Joyd, and walked tightly behind Lille with his torch, regardless of Joey's brother, as if Thomas had an indescribable dislike for them.

"Just give me a few words, and be careful I'll reward you with two fists afterwards!" Lille glared back at him.

"Lord Lille, as soon as I arrived here, I couldn't stop wanting to speak, not speaking really made me a little aggrieved, hey, my lame brother really doesn't care about this, they all come out of a belly, the difference is really big. ”

Joyner limped forward and spat at the cold water, "Phew, as far as I know, you picked it up from the garbage heap and followed my ass, insisting on being my brother, and if I hadn't been chased by a few slaves from an unknown castle, I would have fallen off a ten-meter-high platform?"

"Oh! Even the man in black can tell that you really don't have what it takes. Joyd laughed, "If it were me, I'd have to fight those slaves." Thanks to his brother Joyd, everyone knew that Joyner was born lame, but they pretended to believe that it was a sudden accident, lest the two brothers have a big incident or break Joyner's heart. In Irina's opinion, Joyner is still very tenacious, unless no one takes the initiative to pierce that paper-thin layer of self-esteem.

"Tell you two to be quieter, the Brotherhood can take you two in, it's not that Lord Thomas has pity on you, you are shouting like this again, hum, don't blame me for being unkind. Lille yelled.

"Well, there's no need to argue! it may not be safe here, but as you know, this hole and the ground are only two meters thick, and there are heavily guarded walls on top. Thomas finally couldn't hold back the chatter, and warned them in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord!" said Lille. Joyd walked in front of his brother and squinted at him and responded, "Yes, Lord Thomas, for some reason, my lord's words always make me feel very comfortable, but the one in the back, hum!"

A few people walked along the winding hole for a long time, but it became narrower and narrower, and some of the rocks protruding enough to block the passage. "Be careful, these rocks have been eroded into sharp blades by water droplets, and if you touch it, you will be cut. Thomas said.

"Yes, chop it down with an axe, the axe will make a big indentation, lady in black, you better be steady, your clothes must be very expensive. ”

Irina smiled, "I'm not going to be hurt by a stone yet." ”

"Just take care of you and your brother Joyna. Thomas muttered.

As the group continued to walk forward, a light appeared in front of them, and the surroundings began to brighten, and Lille quickened his pace to the light source, and he glanced at it, and climbed up the escalator covered with green moss.

"It's outside the city from here, and now Seahorse Town is guarded inside and outside, and even rats are difficult to pass through, but this passage is an exception, you can enter and exit Seahorse Town at any time. Thomas said to Irina.

"Mistress Thomas, it's safe up there!" said Lille's voice from above.

Thomas stepped aside, "Man in Black, please." ”

Irina climbed up the escalator. Outside the entrance of the cave is a small elm forest, surrounded by a wide range of elm forests, with the Luogu River to the east and Haima Town to the south, and the entrance to the cave is exactly at the corner between the two. The city wall is also four or five hundred meters away, and if there is no elm tree to cover it, the defenders on the city wall can clearly see every move here.

"This is a small oil forest, and the people of the town used to cultivate the fields in this area, and they would come here to rest, but the good times did not last long, and after Xiao Dengkan became the king, the hard life of the people also came, and this place was deserted. Thomas crawled out of the hole and eagerly introduced to Irina.

"The Brotherhood was founded in the same year, and the people saw the dawn of hope!" the voice came from the mouth of the cave, it was Joyd, chattering. What could stop him, Irina thought to herself.

'Fall from grace,' said Lille, "I also gave up my job as a weaver and joined the Brotherhood, but I was right, and one day, I would be Lord Thomas's most loyal subordinate and manage the army of Seahorse, and rekindle the glory of Seahorseland." ”

"Success and failure are in a flash, who knows what will happen tomorrow?" Thomas didn't seem to like Lille's words, and then he turned his gaze to Irina, "Men in black, the Brotherhood would love to see the man who could save Seahorse Town, your presence has given the people hope." ”

"The victory of the people is inseparable from good leaders, do not question your own abilities. Irina was concise and to the point, perhaps this way of speaking was more reasonable, she secretly affirmed Thomas's ability, in this era of the world, who can really stand up, for the sake of the people at the bottom, for the future of Seahorse Town. She hoped that Thomas's true god of Panla would bring him good luck.

"I trust your judgment, and I believe that the people who fight back will get what they want. Thomas gave a rare smile. Joyd took the opportunity to hurriedly grab the words, "What they want is no different from those nobles who have wealth, nothing more than endless gold coins and endless glory and wealth." ”

"You death-seeking thug, believe it or not I'll break your legs, just like your lame brother!" retorted Lille as he strode forward and punched Joyd to the ground.

Joyd didn't get up to fight back, because he was not Lille's opponent at all, he felt innocent to himself, "Stupid Lille, brutal butcher, you don't want as much as those drunks, if I'm wrong, kill me!"

Lille tried to step forward to teach Joyd, who was full of nonsense, but was stopped by Thomas, "Stop me, if there is infighting, I will bury whoever is alive in the ground!" Joyner next to him did not show any expression, just looked at the beaten Joyd, maybe he was thinking, Lille's punch was good. Although the two are brothers, they are indeed not very peaceful in normal times, and many times it is Joyd who causes trouble, whether it is in the fraternity or in the church, or in the streets and alleys, he will be scolded by others, and even it is normal to be beaten every day. His brother Joyner is loyal and honest, usually just silently doing things for others, and does not cause much trouble, once Joyner is provoked, the consequences can be very serious. is such a Joey brother, they have already caused a big problem for the Brotherhood, but fortunately they did not expose all the things of the Brotherhood, and the two of them also have a certain sense of proportion and principles, so Thomas did not drive the two away or execute the two.

"In that inconspicuous grass ahead lies a weapon from Witchtown, Brother Joey, you carry it with Lille. Thomas commanded. In a few moments, the three of them came out with three bundles of weapons, each brand new without the slightest scratch.

"This is the Mauripato of Witchtown forged for the Brotherhood, every weapon is the work of the people of Seahorse Town, so we will use these weapons to crusade against the greedy kingship, Man in Black, this sword is forged by Misugang in the north, he is extremely hard, no weapon can compare with it, I give it to you, I hope you will take it" Thomas picked up the glittering sword, waved it in his hand, and handed it to Irina.

Irina couldn't help but be a little surprised when she looked at Misugang, and she suddenly remembered that in order to repay the king of Alexa in the strange stone platform, the man in black personally gave him a war halberd forged by Misugang. She also thought of the hairnet she had gotten from the Metians, which she had intended as a gift for the granddaughter of King Alexa, and had turned it on to Scordy. "No, the sword does not belong to me, it should be held by the leader. ”

"Sooner or later, this sword will become the sword of the king of the north, Lord Thomas, the man in black is right, it should belong to the leader of the people, and the people will be loyal to you because of this sword. Lille said.

Thomas held the sword in his hand, and the blade shone with golden light, "How many generations of kingship will die because of this sword of Misugang, and those who are in power will die under its sword?" Thomas couldn't help but muttered to himself.

"My lord, you can treat it as a sword to slay filth, and kill all the bullshit kingship. ”

"You're talking this time. Lille said.

"Since the Lord thinks that this sword belongs to me, I will name it 'Broken Bone'. Thomas stroked the blade of the sword and put it into its scabbard.

Although the Brotherhood was formed by the oppressed people, they were well managed and had strict systems, from top to bottom, from old to young, with different responsibilities. Thomas is the supreme commander of the Brotherhood, overseeing the Brotherhood members below. 'Out of grace' Lille was Thomas's most trusted subordinate and became the deputy commander of the Brotherhood. Underneath Lille are the 'Mad Woman' Treni and the 'Wealth-Deprived' Mestland.

In the Brotherhood, most of them are ordinary people who live among the people at the bottom, but for Mesrant, it is a little unfair. If 'Mad Woman' Trenee was once a prostitute in Seahorsetown's Rose Garden, then Mestran is definitely the rich man in the city, but it wasn't too late to talk about it a few years ago. At that time, as the wealthy nobleman of the red-haired family in Seahorse Town, he paid a lot for the royal family, but all he got was the cold eyes and jealousy of others, and in the end the entire family was ransacked, his wife and children were killed, and all the family property was burned, but fortunately he still left a life. In revenge, he came to the Brotherhood and swore a blood oath to work with the Brotherhood to overthrow the king.

As for the 'mad woman' Trenier, she had a better fate, but she was fed up with the nobles' calls, so she escaped from the rose garden on a rainy night and came to Thomas. Underneath the two of them is a system with a clear division of labor, the old man and the child are responsible for gathering intelligence and monitoring the movements of the army and nobles in Seahorse Town, and some middle-aged men maintain the food source of the brotherhood, they will sneak into the homes of the second-class nobles, steal some food or useful items, etc., and even loot some supplies that are reissued to the army. There are also some middle-aged men who keep in touch with the members of the Brotherhood in Witchtown at all times, such as the delivery of weapons, the secret sale and trading of goods, and the acquisition of information outside the city.

Irina also heard from Thomas that the Brotherhood is secretly building a cave to the royal family, and if nothing else, it will be completed in less than half a year. Irina suspects what the Brotherhood is doing, and although a large net has been laid underground to overthrow the royal power, their size and movements should have been discovered by the royal family. This is not only Irina worried, but Thomas, as the commander of the Brotherhood, is also worried that if someone rebels, then the Brotherhood's lair will turn into an underground tomb, but fortunately, Thomas has found the soul revelators of the Church of Dastul.

There were not many people in the church of Dastur, except for the three patriarchs, and there were only four or five apprentices left. Every Monday, a prayer meeting is held at the church in the center of the bazaar, which is also the busiest day of the week. It just so happened that it was Monday, and Thomas invited Irina to the church, along with the 'deprived' Mesterland. Irina had already prepared and changed the black cloak on her body into a normal cloth robe, and her Nanling wood longbow was also placed in her room. Mesterlan had long wanted to see what the man in black looked like when he left Seahorse Town for Witch Town, and when he left Seahorse Town for Witch Town, he had already heard that a beautiful angel in black had come to the Brotherhood, but he was on business and had no chance to see it. That morning, Masterland finally met Irina, and in his eyes, Irina's appearance was illusory, with blue eyes, pink lips, long black hair, snow-white skin, and a proud figure.

"God above, I am fortunate to be able to meet such a beautiful and moving woman, and I am the only person in black among ten thousand people, it is really my honor to meet you. Mesterland looked at her with admiration and appreciation.

"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Mestrand. Irina smiled in response.

"I have traveled all over the vast lands of the North, to the southern continents, to the East across the Straits, to the West, to see the exquisite skills of the Metir, to taste the delicacies of the Dwarven people, and to appreciate the Pillars of Dawn in the Bay of the Holy Lake. But I've never seen anything like it, and I think you must have been sent by the gods!" Mesterland was so excited that he never took his eyes off Irina. However, Irina just threw back a faint smile.

"The arrangement of the gods is always incomprehensible to mortals, whether you are surprised or awe-struck, now is not the time, when the prayer meeting is over, you still have time, Lord Mestrand. ”

"yes, yes, it's been a day, and even if I was wiped late at night, it was worth it. Maystrand said.

"You think, I can fulfill you. Thomas sneered.

The church is flanked by painted round skylights, and as the sun rises, the glass changes colour, from blue to purple, then red, and finally to yellow. On the three-foot-high cantilevers above the window lattice, a silky brownish-red curtain was hung that only the aristocracy deserved, through which the sunlight rendered the interior of the church into a dreamlike red dusk. The walls on a white background are painted with a variety of strange trees and flowers, and others say that it is the favorite garden of the god Panla. The changing light is refracted and sprinkled on the wall on one side, and if you are not careful, you really think that you are in it, which makes people reverie.

Four stout oak beams and columns, each with a corner, solemn and solemn, mottled cracks that have withstood the erosion of time. The people sat in the middle of the hall in an orderly manner, clasped their hands together, and prayed silently. Most of them were dressed in tattered cloth clothes, some of them were naked, and the children were barefoot, sitting quietly in the corner at the behest of adults, listening to the strange murmurs of the people around them.

Directly in front of the people, on a one-foot-high stone platform, there were fifty candles, and the faint flames strung together a soft ribbon of light, and the pungent smell of candle oil filled the entire hall. In the highest and most conspicuous position at the front of the hall, a lean, small apprentice was closing his eyes and silently reciting a language that no one could understand, he was dressed with a joyful attitude, the original brown-red linen robe, which had faded its original color after the washing and grinding of time, and was covered with wrinkled and crooked patches, and the red crystal ring on his middle finger was particularly eye-catching in comparison. Behind him is a large carved wood painting of a sturdy elk, with its large antlers taking up half of the space, and the entire surface of the painting is painted with a layer of bright oil, which is set against the background of the hazy sun, smoke and flickering candlelight.

Thomas whispered to Irina, "It is the mount of the god Panla, representing the sacred church of Dashtur, and like the mount, it is a human agent appointed by the gods. ”

Irina said, "Why don't you draw the goddess Panla like in the Triumphal Square?"

"This is sinful, and making up the appearance of a god without anyone having actually seen it is tantamount to committing an unforgivable sin that requires severe punishment. Instead of asking about the gods they worshipped, Irina followed the two to the back of the group. Mesterland and Thomas chanted strange prayers together with their eyes slightly closed, and a gloomy atmosphere enveloped the whole church. Irina did not believe in these pagan religions, but she kept her eyes closed, just like them.

The prayer meeting lasted for more than half an hour, and when it was over, the people were so happy that there was no trace of trouble on their faces. Thomas looked at the crowd that was gradually leaving, and said to Irina, "Which true god does the Men in Black live in?"

"The Man in Black only believes in what really exists, she exists longer than the age of this continent, before the oldest records, even if time stands still and everything withers. Irina said.

"Presumably, the true god that the man in black believes in must be the same as your appearance. Mesterland said.

Irina shook her head, "No, it's the stars, the Grevin stars, in worlds far beyond our reach. ”

"The true gods are always with us, observing the world, how can the stars observe us?" asked Thomas.

"The stars, like the true God, give us faith and help us to solve our doubts. "The stars of Grevyn, far above the stars, will show the way for the lost, as are all mortals. ”

Then we worship God, who is a different God, but who is admired by all. Maystrand said.

The patriarch of the church of Dastur came to them, he walked slowly, his right hand tightly clutched the red crystal necklace, his emaciated body supporting the bones under the flesh, it could be seen that he had not eaten a decent meal for a while, and if he held on for a few more days, he would probably die in this church. "Lord Thomas, Lord Maystrand. His voice was mixed with a low wheezing, hoarse and empty, "Who is this?"

"This is the man in black from the Black Hill Mountain in the south, the ancient castle at dusk. Thomas replied.

The cultist nodded indifferently, "My lord, I'm ready, please come with me." The three of them followed the strange old man to the room on the right side of the platform, which was filled with a pungent smell of wax and oil, and the walls were studded with red glass shards, which looked like they had stepped into a huge red crystal. "Please sit down. The old man finished speaking, and lit the five candles on the small wooden table one by one. "The success of the Brotherhood depends on yourselves, and the Church of Dashtur can only do what the true god Panla wills, if there is anything you want to say, I will ask the true god Panla. With that, he sat down behind the wooden table.

Thomas hesitated for a moment and said, "Could the Brotherhood's actions be related to the Brotherhood's survival?" assassination...... What consequences will it bring to the people at the bottom?"

"The true God does not pity the weak, much less encourage the strong. The old man said.

"Chutai Male, the most notorious slave owner in Seahorse Town, the people who die at his hands every day can be piled up into a mountain, and the true god Panla will hate such a person, he should die in the stinky water hook. Maystrand said.

After hearing this, the patriarch said lightly, "Exaggerating a person's sins is disrespectful to life, and the true God will give him a reasonable arrangement." ”

"Her arrangement was for Chutai Mahler to lie on a soft bed and wait for us to cut his throat and bury his head with many innocent people who had died. "It couldn't have been better for him." ”

The old man listened to Thomas's words while looking at the burning candles, "For Chutai Male, the church and the people of Seahorse Town know about him, the true god Panla will listen to the people's voices, and Master Thomas will only do what he thinks is right." With that, the old man snuffed out one of the candles and sat back down. Irina had been listening quietly to the conversation between the men, and when she turned her gaze to the patriarch of Dashtur, the patriarch hurriedly avoided her gaze, as if he was a little scared or shy away from the man in black.

Thomas then added, "The Brotherhood is going to have a trial, and this trial is very meaningful, and perhaps the Church of Dastur will give the Brotherhood some advice, and it would be great if a few of the patriarchs could go to this trial on behalf of the true god Panla." ”

The old man smiled slightly, "The judgment is deciding a person's fate, and this kind of judgment, no one can represent the true God, and the Church of Dashtur will not participate in it." The patriarch snuffed out another candle. Mestran was about to get up, but when he looked around, he sat back in silence, and the patriarch noticed the slightest movement, and said to him, "Here, in this room, all men are equal, put aside injustice, and say what you want." ”

Only then did Mesterland slowly get up, "I want to know...... "Where are my wife and son, have they passed through the Gate of Redemption?" and are they still sad?" Mestran was a little excited, and the patriarch waved his hand to signal Mestrand to sit down, and said, "I can't let you see what they are now, and even if I could, mortal eyes would not be able to see the world behind the Gate of Redemption, but the dead rest in peace, they have passed the judgment of the true god Panla, and returned to peace. It was only after hearing this that Mesterland's emotions calmed down.

"What else needs to be asked?" said the patriarch. Thomas said to Irina, "The Man in Black wants to know something, maybe he can help you." After hearing this, the patriarch hurriedly interjected, "The man in black is not here for the survival of Seahorse Town, right?"

"Who can stop the destruction of Seahorse Town, Dashtur Church, when did the Soul Apocalypse care about Seahorse Town, the pagans who have traveled the southern continent. It seems that Irina has sensed that this old man has a great understanding of the man in black, but she does not leave anyone with any affection, and says bluntly to the patriarch.

"As far as I know, the men in black often deal with the dead who dwell deep in the dark abyss, but in this land, who will the men in black turn to spend their leisure time, you should be in the wrong place, the men in black!"

Thomas and Mesterland were stunned by this, and they stared at the patriarch and Irina blankly, not knowing what they were talking about. Irina smiled faintly and said to the senator, "What can you see at the flame on the candle, the soul revelator of the church of Dastur? Can you see the army of the north oppressing the weak innocent people, the arrangement of the goddess Panla whom you admire really makes me doubt her wisdom, if I guess correctly, we have two more questions for you, what kind of arrangement does the true God in your heart have for you?"

The patriarch didn't know how to answer Irina's question, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Irina, "As Panla's agent, what kind of curse can make the once glorious Dashtur church fall to where it is today?"

The patriarch looked surprised, Thomas and Mestrand were afraid, and Irina added, "King Saar's curse, the lost crown, and the church of Dashtur can give me some advice." ”

"Unreasonable, unforgivable, your words will anger the true god Panla, and I will free you from the prison of atonement?" said the patriarch with trembling hands, clutching the red crystal necklace around his neck, and his eyes glared straight at Irina. The two apprentices ran in, helped the trembling patriarch, and said to the three, "Lord Thomas, Lord Mesterland, please stay away, the elder's body has been a little unwell lately. Seeing this, Thomas took Irina and Mestraran out of the house.

Why the Church of Dastur is so sensitive to the affairs of King Sahr, there must be a secret here that cannot be told. Irina thought about what the Soul Revelator had said to her before. "The Man in Black will bring darkness to the continent, and will also awaken the Dawn when the darkness comes, and the Land of the Dead can find the truth that the Man in Black wants. She looked at the orange flames, and imagined in her heart what had happened on the night of King Saar's disappearance, when lightning from the sky struck towering houses, stables, wineries, streets, and inns, and the fire engulfed Seahorse Town, and people cried out for help in the flames, and overnight, it became a dead city. But the curse didn't kill everyone, and the Church of Dastur survived the apprentices, and only they knew the truth of that day. "No, the truth is not in the Land of the Dead, but here, Seahorse Town. Irina muttered to herself. The flames flickered in the dreary air, and tongues of fire outlined beautiful patterns, flickering and flickering, sometimes changing into waves, sometimes into mountains, sometimes into the faces of children, sometimes into old faces, and disappeared with a crackling sound. If Master Pesil were here, maybe he would see visions of flames, but there are very few people on this continent who can do this kind of magic, and this requires the ability to interpret fire, just like using magic to make fire. "Perhaps, I will not leave until I find the truth I want here. Irina was motivating herself, "Look for the closed house where King Thor once stayed, and there may still be some clues to what happened." ”

"What are you talking to yourself?" "The madwoman Treni came into the house, "the flames are almost extinguished, why don't you add fire?" Treni took two pieces of wood and put them in the fire, and said to Irina, "What is it that makes you so sad, it can't be that you have left your homeland and missed your castle at dusk, beauty." The flames began to roar again, swirling flames rolling up the dull air, and a stream of heat rushed to the two of them with a small crackling sound.

"The sweltering heat in the cave makes me tired, and it does make people think cranky compared to the air outside. Irina whispered.

"It's not just you, I'm too, and when I came to the cave on the first day, a sea change changed before my eyes, and the men who had been around me dreamed of sleeping with me, and they were so that they were like beasts struggling to struggle. Trainey found a wooden stool and sat by the fire, and said to Irina, "Well, every time I get up, I see the cold walls and the fire burning quietly, but it's a nice feeling, it calms me down." ”

"Indeed, the quiet atmosphere helps us to find answers. ”

"Have you found the answer, the man in black from the castle of dusk! Some people have said that the man in black deals exclusively with the dead, but I have never seen one, and you say, are there dead people wandering in this cave?" asked Trenier, curious.

"The dead do not dwell in warm caves, they wander in deserts, deep in the mountains, in places where people rarely travel, and sometimes, where people live. Irina explained to Treyni.

"Oh, well, when I first heard that the dead could run around and hang around like the living, I lived in the house every day, not daring to come out, but I was supposed to be lucky. Trenee said.

"You're lucky, but we'd better not talk about the dead, it brings bad luck. Irina smiled at Trainee and said, "I'm curious who gave you the nickname 'Crazy Woman.'" ”

Trainee's face was suddenly full of anger, and she looked at the raging flames and said, "I have slept with half of the men in Seahorse Town, and in half of them, I cut their hangings with scissors, and I told them that they would never sleep with women." Irina was surprised, but she didn't know what to say. "Men are ungrateful, and when they're done slapping their butts and leaving, they're all about the stupid pigs in the pigsty." Trenee sighed when she saw that Irina had been silent, "It's all gone, and I will only be unhappy if I say it, but I like it, madwoman, those people will hide in fear when they see me, even the poorest of the homeless, but fortunately the Brotherhood doesn't care about my past." ”

"Well, I won't mention the past anymore. As Irina spoke, an idea popped into her mind that since Trenee had dealt with the people of Seahorse Town, she must know something about the King of Saar, and said, "Have you ever heard of the legend of the King of Saar?"

"King Saar? This story is known to almost many people, and if you think about it, what can you hide from it, and the children on the street sing about the king of Saar. The crown is coming, the bad guys are coming, Thal wears the crown, pursues the sinful people, black and white is reversed, the bad guys die, the good guys die, Thal wears the crown, hiding from the people who seek the crown, doomed, the lightning comes, the lightning comes, Thal wears the crown, dies in the Scarlet House, and is forbidden in it forever. Treney began to sing to the sound of crackling flames, "Death is coming, death is coming, Thal wears the crown and seeks ancient legends,...... Well, I'll forget about the rest, but this story is interesting. Trainey said, "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm looking into this. Irina said.

"There's nothing to investigate, these are just interesting stories. Trainey smiled and said to Irina, "There's a meeting in the conference hall in a moment, and Master Thomas has called me to look for you, and you see, I've forgotten everything when I sit down, so let's go now." ”

The internal meeting of the fraternity is held once a week, and it mainly discusses some trivial matters within the country, and if there is something important, the meeting time is not fixed. According to Trenee, this meeting will discuss the plan for the assassination of Chutai Mahler. It's a big undertaking and it's going to involve a lot of things. The members of the meeting were almost all in place, except for the reconnaissance captain Highbury, who was stabbed to death by officers and soldiers during a reconnaissance the night before, and his body has been found, but the entire left half of his body has been swollen and rotten. In the end, Thomas and the 'disgraced' Lille gave Highbury a decent burial. Although the Brotherhood had lost a good member and the soldiers of Seahorse Town had paid the price, Trainey took Joyd and several members of the Brotherhood into the barracks in the middle of the night, and in less than an hour, they brought back the heads of ten men. And threw them into the fire one by one, and the people sat around the fire for half the night. Although the incident has passed, the Brotherhood's Scout Captain has been vacant, and no one has come to take his place, and this meeting will also elect a person to serve as the Scout Captain.

The conference hall is just an ordinary room, and whenever the meeting starts, candles are lit on both sides of the door until the meeting is over. Irina was the last to enter the house, and by this time everyone in the room had already arrived, including Commander Thomas, Deputy Commander Lille the Fallen from Grace, Commissioner Mestran the Wealth-Deprivation, and Governor of Discipline Treni the Mad Woman, as well as six other members, one of whom Irina had seen and had passed by at the door of the inn. His name is Xiude, and according to Lille, he is from the town of Rotten Wood in the Redstone River, and he is a defected soldier, and he is lucky to have survived until now. No one knows exactly why he defected, except that he has always been loyal to the Brotherhood.

"Please sit down, man in black. Thomas said.

"Does the arrival of the man in black mean something? Trenee said.

Stepper 'Grasshopper', once a notorious black and white sorcerer, usually roamed around Scream Bend, but the Man in Black hadn't seen them for a long time. Why are the black and white sorcerers so notorious? It is because of their little hobby, playing with the flames in the applause, like disciplining a toddler child. The black and white warlocks will spend a lot of time instilling words in their favor to merchants, nobles, landlords, and slave owners, like whispers that grow in the dark, slowly eroding the young and wise, but most of the time, these people will use hot flames or cold fire cages to oppress the defenseless, in order to snatch a piece of the pie. Southerners prefer to call them thieves, and probably the men in black have the same idea of them, but as for the punishment of the black and white warlocks, the men in black are indifferent, perhaps in their eyes they are nothing more than beggars in the corners and vagabonds in the streets.

"Crazy woman, your joke is not funny at all, if you really want me to pick up the trick of a year ago, I would like to get a glimpse of how you castrated the men of Seahorse Town a year ago. Stepper gave Irina a pause, then lowered his head, "Unfortunately, I'm not a 'great' warlock anymore. ”

"I think so, stealing makes you feel like you're reunited after a long absence, and this job is more suitable for you. Trainey said. Stepper laughed, "Hey, yes, I can do anything with Master Thomas." ”

The sudden change has brought all sorts of strange people together, and the name Brotherhood is a fitting fit. But more importantly, Thomas got loyal followers to him. He leaned down, smeared a pile of glittering sand into a shiny loaf of bread, picked up a stick, and said to those present, "The assassination mission will be on time tomorrow night, and success or failure is a matter of survival for the Brotherhood, and for everyone in this room, so, keep your eyes open and your spirits raised." He said as he drew on the sand, "The passage through here has been repaired, above it is the residence of Chutai Mahler, on the north side of the house is a cistern, Lille led Joyd and a few brothers to monitor the slaves wandering around the cistern, Xiude and Grasshopper, the two of you lead the six brothers to clean up the guards in the southeast corner, remember, quietly, in addition, Feng Kai took Joyner to try to create trouble in the open square behind Chutai Mahler's house, the more lively the better, Terennie...... , the task of killing Chutai Mahler will be handed over to you. ”

Trenee said excitedly, "Lord Thomas, if I were to kill a woman, I would hesitate, and if it was a man, I would not even be aware of the lonely ghost." ”

"The Lonely Ghost is a crazy woman sitting here, and if you do it, the Lonely Ghost will sobble to each other about their strength. Stepper swallowed a big gulp of saliva, "Master Thomas is shrewd, how could Trennie, the former prostitute, wipe his neck, I guess, she will take off Chutaymahler's pants, and then observe for half an hour, and go down with a knife, hmph, wait until she comes back, and say that she killed Chutaemal! ”

"What you said makes me chill, or ...... , Master Thomas, can also redistribute the division of labor. Mesterland said lazily leaning against the corner. Trainee got up, took a few steps forward, and stared straight at Stepper. Stepper subconsciously moved his buttocks, "Why, do you want to wait for Chutai Mahler to run underground with his empty crotch to find you, Master Thomas better reconsider!"

"Do you want to? Before tomorrow comes, I will make you a eunuch first, and then we will complete the task together, and let you see how I got his head. Trainee said angrily to Stepper.

"It's all right, I believe in Treyni's strength. Lille coughed deliberately, "But I'm more confident that by the time the mission is complete, Trenee will not only be able to return safely with his head, but she may also have Chutai Mahler's big hanging in her trouser pocket." When he said that, he burst out laughing, and the people in the room burst into laughter.

"Cut, I don't scarce that piece of meat. With that, Trainey sat back in her chair.

Lille smiled as he comforted Trenier, "We're all looking forward to your return with a full load, and if you can't find the door to enter the Chutai Mahler's residence, don't worry, we're behind you." ”

"What can you do, what good can you do? There are jugglers, there are those who hide in the corners and chat, and a few who go to bully the unarmed guards, I will only listen to Master Thomas. Trainey said with an air in his heart.

Stepper fiddled with the small wooden sword he wore on his chest, "Behind you, there are hundreds of men, what can you do? In order for you to successfully castrate Chutai Male, then again, we still believe in your strength, right, Lord Thomas." ”

"My plans haven't changed, do you have any suggestions?" said Thomas.

"There is no suggestion, I am not afraid of 10,000, I am afraid of just in case. Feng Kai poked his neck and said, "What if the dying man is not in his house, and if there are a few more of his guards, or if his guards are not in the place you said, maybe they will crouch at the door and wait for us?"

Lille explained in a deep tone, " Regarding the assassination of Chutai Male, the Brotherhood has been observing for a month, he will stay in the house in the morning and not go anywhere, he will rush to the finance hall of Seahorse Town on time at nine o'clock, needless to say noon, he will sometimes go to the Lost Tavern, sometimes he will go to the rose garden, only a few times will he return to the house, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, he will go to the open square behind the house to bask in the sun, until sunset back to the house, at this time, look at the time, it is already six o'clock in the evening, and our plan will start at eight o'clock in the evening.

"Eight o'clock?" said Mesterland in a low voice, "my family had misfortune at eight o'clock that day, eight o'clock? I really hope that by eight o'clock, Chutai Mahler will be headed, and those murderers who killed my wife and children with knives will die tragically at home when eight o'clock comes, Tostede, Silva, Petos, I will torture you one by one, until you slowly die and rot." ”

"Their fate will be worse than this, believe me, no! Believe in the true god of heaven, Panla, her prison of atonement is cruel beyond you and I can imagine, even the harshest torture in Seahorse Town cannot compare to the prison of atonement, just watch quietly and wait for the day of the final judgment to come, you will regain your smile, my friend. Thomas said.

"Maybe we'll set a day of their judgment, the day after tomorrow, a week, a month, and you'll get what you want. "Or you can tell me what price they will taste?" and I will help you. ”

"The one who helped him has not yet come, and the true god Panla will know the time of that day. ”

Everyone fell silent, the room dead silent, except for the crackling flames waving his fiery arms.

"Also, Lord Thomas, it's okay for you to let me go to the square and pretend, but the problem is that Joyner will be exposed, and his delicate face will turn into a stiff corpse face in less than a minute, and let me juggle with him, rather than do two dances by myself. Feng Kai showed a sad face and said to Thomas.

"Then call Daddy Raku, who is in charge of the cellar, for I am afraid that he will overpower you. Lille said. The others were looking at Feng Kai proudly, expecting him to be speechless. Irina, who sat by the door, didn't say a word, but even if she didn't become the focus of the meeting, she would attract everyone's attention. Feng Kai twisted his body helplessly, "Hmm...... , it's okay, but you have to cut off his full hairy beard, and then shave his head, so that as soon as you dress up, it's no problem. ”

"Am I discussing with you?!, or am I asking you to complete this task for me?!" Thomas assumed the momentum of a commander, "Everyone here can do the task I have assigned, and no one else is qualified to participate, and even if they can, they will inevitably fail, so it's decided." ”

"Thomas, since you ...... , The man in black is here, it is better to let her join us in this mission, the skills of the man in black, you and I have heard of it, what do you say. Mesterland said. The others began to discuss, and Lil hurriedly said, "This Lord Irina is a rare guest of our Brotherhood, and a newly established ally between the Brotherhood and the Men in Black, the Brotherhood naturally has a way of entertaining allies, Master Mestrand, you don't have to worry about it, we can do it without leaks." ”

"That's right, just take care of yourself and do your own thing, and don't worry about the rest, oh, and Lille Paimos will continue to observe Chutaimahler's movements until tomorrow's mission begins. Thomas said.

"Don't worry, sir!" replied Lille. Thomas looked at the flickering flame in the middle, hesitated for a moment and said to Irina, "Man in Black, the Brotherhood is almost ready, what do you think we are not prepared for?"

"The Brotherhood already has the right time and place, the disadvantage is that everyone is not well prepared, and if the mission fails, there should be a way to get out. Irina said to Thomas. Thomas nodded, his sharp eyes full of the domineering of the dead, "Well, I will further improve the plan, and I believe that the true god Panla will wish us well." ”
