An abandoned mine outside of Carroston, on the edge of a dense forest.

Pato and a group of horsemen crouched on the edge of the campfire and whispered to each other.

A sound of footsteps came from outside the abandoned mine, and it was Trump, Knight Egger's personal guard, and a group of cavalry.

"Pato. Trump looked at Pato who was squatting on the ground and called out to him.

Pato stood up, and the other horsemen stood up.

"Trump, are they all here?" asked Pato.

Trump nodded and said, "It's all here, Pato." ”

"The fact that you are here now is that you have already made your attitude clear. We had six comrades-in-arms, six comrades, in our own territory, who were ambushed because of a leak of information, and I was lucky enough to be Knight Egger and not die there. But I wish I was the one who died there!" Pato said loudly, his expression angry and serious.

"Now, in Carouston City, there are 26 suspects who have entered the camp during that time, and these 26 people, each of them could be a leaker!" Pato said fiercely, gritting his teeth.

"We need to find the rats hiding in these people, and I swear I will make him regret being born!" Pato's eyes were full of hatred.

"What do you need us to do?" asked a cold-eyed man in the crowd.

"We need a careful plan to keep an eye on these 26 people, Trump, and distribute the list to everyone. Pato said in a deep voice.

Hearing what Pato said, Trump distributed the transcribed list to the other knights in the cave in turn, and everyone took the list and looked at the people on the list by the firelight.

"We need to keep an eye on these people, their whereabouts, the things they do, and whether there are any suspicious things in them. Remember, just keep an eye on these people from afar. Don't alarm them if you don't have to. Pato continued.

"Finally, there's one more thing. Please keep it a secret and don't let Lord Iger know about it. After Pato finished speaking, he looked at the cavalry in the cave, and his heart was full of mixed emotions.

The cavalrymen all nodded in understanding, and then slowly left the mine one by one.

In the Wizarding Guild.

Giroud had just sent off Master Patrick, and he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.

Still thinking about Patrick's words, he asked him to prepare his fishing rod, bait, and fishing basket, and arranged for someone to take him to a quieter place to fish.

Giroud remembered what Master Li Xuan said to Master Patrick about fishing yesterday during the chat, obviously Patrick believed Master Patrick today, and Giroud was also thinking about whether he also prepared a set of fishing tools and went fishing in his spare time. However, this idea was soon dispelled by him, and there were not many affairs in the Magic Guild, and many things had to be arranged and supervised by himself.

Giroud walked up to the hall and called an apprentice, explaining the fishing and repeatedly telling him to prepare a few more rods.

After ordering the apprentice, Giroud was about to go upstairs, when an apprentice rushed in at the door, Giroud looked at him and thought for a moment, it seemed to be Master Ian's apprentice, but what made him so hurried? Giroud looked at it a few times until the apprentice disappeared around the corner of the corridor behind the Magic Guild.

"Bang bang bang, Master Ian. ”

Ian opened the door and looked at his apprentice, looking at him with a blank face.

The apprentice quickly took out a note from his bosom and handed it to Ian.

After taking the note, Ian waved his hand to the apprentice, who hurriedly walked away, and then Ian slowly closed the door, walked to the well-lit window, and slowly opened the note.

Ian quickly finished reading the note, folded the note again with a gloomy face, put it in his arms, and looked out the window coldly, thinking about the contents of the note.

The note was a question from Ian's Gran family. It was about the 300,000 gold coins that Quincy and Giroud had borrowed from other chambers of commerce in Carroston on behalf of the Gran family not long ago. For the 300,000 gold coins, Ian had to repay it alone. For the 300,000 gold coins, Ian only found out after waking up, and it was his teacher Patrick Mage who arranged for Quincy and Giroud to borrow. Moreover, Master Li Xuan once put down the words of cutting his tongue, and he already knew it. He was fully confident that Li Xuan would really cut out his tongue and even cut out his throat.

Even the Gran family is not willing to easily offend a high-level magician, especially a high-level free mage, and the 300,000 gold coins, Ian can only passively bear this debt as the price for offending Master Li Xuan.

After staying in the room for a long time, Ian kept standing by the window and looking at the house and the crowd outside, his eyes full of unwillingness.

In another room of the Wizarding Guild, the mage Anita Sterling was holding a long scroll, looking through it a little bit with serious attention. This is the detailed intelligence information about Master Li Xuan that she obtained from a special source.

Anita looked at the description of Li Xuan's behavior in the scroll, and her heart was full of curiosity about this mysterious and powerful man, and the most described to Master Li Xuan in the scroll was modest, kind, and easy to speak.

Anita had never seen a high-level mage like this. She also had many doubts about the description inside the scroll, but she had to verify them one by one. But considering the channel through which the scrolls were provided, the "Shadow of Heaven", she believed a little more in her heart.

Anita knew about the mysterious organization of Shadow of Heaven, and that the scroll worth 500 gold coins had been obtained from Shadow of Heaven through a special channel of the Stirling family, and she had obtained a very, very important piece of information. This scroll is the highest-level piece of information about Master Li Xuan that the Stirling family can trade, and this information about Master Li Xuan is the lowest-level information about Li Xuan in the "Shadow of Heaven".

This information let Anita know that in the hands of the "Shadow of Heaven", there must be more information about Li Xuan, but the Stirling family did not reach the corresponding level. In addition to this, Anita was also shocked by the offer of this scroll intelligence, a full 500 gold coins!

Anita's Stirling family has a lot of this kind of information deal with Shadow of Heaven. The mysterious organization "Shadow of Heaven" and other great nobles and families in the empire also have this kind of information and intelligence trading existence. This kind of information and intelligence trading is often done through very special trading methods, and many intelligence "heavenly shadows" will clearly mark their prices. And for the same information, a second classification and quotation will be made according to the level of detail of the information.

Anita had traded the Intelligence several times, and the most expensive piece of Intelligence before that, the Shadow of Heaven, offered only 50 gold coins.
