Lin Qiu followed the nightingale up to the second floor, which was also the place where Uncle Wacker waited all night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is based on a retro palace-style building, with a lot of crystal ornaments that became popular after the war, and almost every few steps, you can meet one or two stern thugs. Before the end of the masquerade party, there were few nobles on the second floor, so when Lin Qiu came up, he could only faintly hear the jubilant sound on the first floor.

The thugs apparently knew the nightingale and nodded to her.

The nightingale, on the other hand, was still smiling and said something completely irrelevant: "In the royal capital, every nobleman is lonely...... Don't worry about them, they only exist to provide security to the nobility and merchants. ”

Pink Jenny has always cherished the relationship between the two major forces in the royal capital, and even the uncles and aunts in the night market know that this is a gathering place for the powerful, and in the past, Pink Jenny had to pay a considerable amount of gold to the adventurer's guild every month to prevent some extreme commoners from attacking the nobles.

Of course, with the ascension of Empress Ria, the contradictions between the nobles and the people are gradually improving, and the vicious incident has not happened for more than a month.

The nightingale eventually led him to a room at the end of the hallway, which was designed to resemble the private rooms of the aristocratic manors, where they often hid their mistresses. There was a faint scent of mixture in the room, and she lit the only candle on the table, the dim light of the candle wasn't enough to illuminate the room.

"For ordinary people, this fragrance has an aphrodisiac effect, and the light of the candle is also specially designed, and they like this atmosphere of ambiguity and debauchery. ”

Before long, the second floor would be filled with gasps and moans.

"Of course, for the knight, this aroma has little effect. The nightingale made no secret of the inquiring meaning in her eyes: "From the time you came in to the time you sat down, you didn't even notice anything unusual, which means that the aroma is automatically filtered by the power in your body before it affects your nerves." ”

"Perhaps, what does this mean?" Lin Qiu neither admitted nor denied.

"It means that you are a high-ranking knight, and it also means that I should be more careful in handling our relationship. The nightingale said as she searched the room for something.

"Our relationship?"

She paused for a moment in her movements, then turned her head with a look of teasing in her eyes: "It's all up to you." ”

"I'm a self-disciplined knight. ”

"You're telling me...... You come from the church. The nightingale felt that she was getting closer and closer to the truth: "There it is, it is here." ”

This woman was also too difficult, Lin Qiu just said it casually, and the nightingale actually guessed his identity. It reminded him of the scene when he first came into contact with Helena—just as mysterious, just as seemingly omniscient. It's just that Helena has her unique intelligence network, and this nightingale is just observant.

God knows how many nobles she knows with her talent.

"There are very few orthodox knights in the kingdom of Talen, and they never turn down an invitation from a lady...... But most importantly, your sword - you are not a member of the Kingdom Army. ”

As she spoke, she took out a letter from the hidden compartment under the bed. This was the way nobles or merchants usually contacted the Silent Rose Assassins, and the more powerful the person, the more worried. The nobles are never stupid, and even if they decide to get rid of someone with the help of the power of the Silent Rose, they will leave themselves and these things behind.

It was also extremely important not to leave a handle on the Assassins.

"So, you should know how glamorous your behavior was today, right?" The people who came to her often had ghosts in their hearts, and they always avoided direct contact with the Assassins as much as possible. And the person who dares to talk to a receptionist about the Silent Rose in full view will definitely not be her employer.

"So you don't know who the employer is?"

"Normally, we just need to kill the target of the commission and the money will be automatically delivered to us, and in this process, we don't need to know who entrusted us...... However, there are also some strange tasks that make us curious about the identity of the employer. Nightingale was still using her keen insight, hoping to figure out what role the boy in front of her played in the whole affair.

"For example, this mission. Lin Qiu's answer did not disappoint her, and she got to the point at once.

Nightingale was noncommittal: "That's right, like this mission." ”

"Kidnapping isn't part of your usual mission?"

"No, kidnapping is just the most ordinary task. She slowly spread out the letter, scribbled on the paper, and only a short sentence: "At midnight, when the banquet begins, kill the guards in the manor for us." There's a little girl in the manor, don't hurt her. ”

This seems to be the most common type of task. There was no mention of Luna's kidnapping.

"Strangely, we've never met an employer who does the job ourselves. By the time my men got there, the manor was 'empty'. ”

"So, you're trying to disconnect the Silent Rose from this matter, why do you think I would believe you?" Lin Qiu frowned, realizing that things were not simple. Nightingale went around in such a big circle, just to tell them that they didn't do it?

"You certainly don't have to believe us, because this mysterious employer seems to want to convince you that we did it...... So, you have two options now, either to arrest me and send me to Corria for interrogation, which of course I will try to resist, or you can tell me who this mysterious employer really is?"

This is also the reason why Nightingale decided to take Lin Qiu to the second floor.

Silent Rose doesn't mind carrying the black cauldron, but at least it must be carried clearly. The bloodbath in Corria Manor likely provokes her into trouble with the former patriarch of the guild and the entire kingdom of Talen, and even those as smart as nightingales will have to prepare for the coming storm.

However, Nightingale's words did not open Lin Qiu's wise mind, but instead made him feel like he had to overturn his original theory that the people he thought were the Chaos Cult who hired the Silent Rose, hoping to infiltrate the inner city and take Luna with the help of Nightingale. But if what Nightingale said was true, and the people of the Silent Rose were not involved, it was very likely that the person who did it was not the Chaos Cult.

Knowing everything about the inner city and having the ability to clean Corria's manor before anyone finds out is more like the handiwork of some big man in the inner city.

"You don't know either, do you?" Nightingale quickly understood Lin Qiu's expression: "So...... It was a great conversation tonight. ”

The moment the words fell, the nightingale suddenly knocked over the candle on the table. The fire was extinguished, and a thick fog spread in a short time, Lin Qiu heard a few footsteps, and the nightingale's voice was already at the window: "We will meet again, Lord Knight." ”
