It was getting dark, the quietest time in the royal capital, and the hangover drunkards staggered back to their homes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Salfin felt his eyelids heavily, the sound of water in his ears pulling him back to reality, his hands and feet cold, and his nose filled with the smell of grass and earth. The wound on his back ached faintly, but it seemed to have been bandaged by someone and barely stopped the bleeding. This is the main reason why he can still wake up.

History has proven countless times that shooting a dying person into the water is not a wise decision. Agents are insoluble in water, and neither are the Captains. If he were Ziegler, he would have seen people in life and corpses in death. In terms of tactics, Ziegler, as a veteran, was very good, he dragged himself as much as he could, allowing his men to shoot cold arrows from the side, and he only stalemate for a short time before being hit in the back.

The blackwood arrow was coated with poison, and before consciousness could be lost, Salfin fell desperately into the lake.

"Are you awake?"

Salfin opened his eyes, and he had never seen a nightingale so plainly dressed - she was dressed in a white dress and looked like the daughter of some merchant. He didn't wear a mask, nor did he carry a black wooden bow, and the other party's dress made him very unaccustomed to it.

"I thought you had to think about life for a while, it's not very common, Captain Salfin, known as the Empress's Brain, will be lying here. ”

"Thank you. Salfin changed his position and prostrated himself on the ground so that the arrow wound on his back would not be contaminated by the dirt. The only person who can save him is Nightingale, although the other party is likely to save him with other purposes: "Just say what you want." ”

Salfin's words made the nightingale flutter slightly.

She had little contact with Salfin, but she had long heard that this man was the archetype of the king's unkindness, and the guards said that he maintained the same expression every day, and perhaps nothing could cause him to be surprised. Of the four captains, Salfin was the one the most feared by the soldiers.

The rumors were confirmed, and the man who had just escaped seemed calm and ready to negotiate with her.

"Although I have not asked you, in order to repay you, I can grant you any request. ”

Nightingale was a little dissatisfied with his attitude, so she asked a little playfully, "Does it include the assassination of the Empress?"

"If this is your request, I will give you back this life. Almost without any consideration, Salfin replied.

"Just kidding, kidding. The nightingale saw that his hand had touched the saber, and it seemed to be completely serious: "I came to you for something else, and after you came to me that day, you came with a special guest. ”

In fact, when Nightingale heard Salfin's request, she felt in her heart that this legendary wise man was not as smart as people had been told to be. Anyone would have guessed that Ziegler was not alone in the lakeside hut, and Salfin chose to find it alone.

Now it seems that he was determined to die at that time.

Nightingale did encounter some heroic figures who were out of the ordinary, but she didn't yet understand what it was enough to make the most astonishing Salfin make such a shocking move. However, there was more important things for her to figure out than her curiosity.

She must know who her potential opponents are.

Ziegler's attempt to keep the Silent Rose on its back was not a big deal, and at most it would discredit them. But that particular guest inadvertently said something that cared more to her. Lin Qiu's guess of the "enemy" obviously did not refer to Ziegler, although Ziegler's strength was good, but he could not make a high-ranking knight like a great enemy.

"Who is the 'enemy' that the boy is talking about?"

"Probably the same group of people as the attackers we met earlier in the forest. Salfin told the truth, saying that the timing of the attacker's appearance was too coincidental and affected his judgment, and Ziegler was removed from suspicion. And this also directly led to the tragedy of Coriya Manor.

Although the true identity of the gray-robed old man was not known for the time being, Salfin knew that it was definitely not Ziegler's subordinate. In other words, there are at least two different waves of forces that want to get them in trouble.

"Who is he?" was the answer Nightingale would most like to know.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a simple thing. Salfin replied.

For an enemy whose strength cannot be directly judged, it can usually be defined by the level of his opponent. And those people are most likely the reason why Lin Qiu and Alyssa came from afar, the two of them are authentic Templars who have been certified by the Church, and their real combat power is much higher than that of ordinary Templars, and the other woman who traveled with them seems to be also a high-ranking knight - there may be a master-apprentice relationship between Lia and Lin Qiu, but that potential power is an existence that can compete with the three Templars.

Salfin really couldn't think of a time when the kingdom of Tarun was hiding such a powerful force.

Nightingale seemed very dissatisfied with this answer: "This doesn't count, I didn't get an answer." To put me another way, what is the identity of that special guest who came to me?"

"You don't know him?" the question made Salfin a little confused. He had already guessed who had found the nightingale, but if he had guessed correctly, the nightingale would not have been able to recognize him—this woman had in her hands more than eighty percent of the nobles in the royal capital, and she was as thoughtful as how she could not have even seen a statue of the royal capital.

"That's pink Jenny, everybody wears a mask. Nightingale rightfully said that after she ran away from Pink Jenny, the boy did not chase her, and later she heard from Pink Jenny's thugs that the boy knew White-Hayvog, and that the eldest young master of the Hayvog family seemed to be very jealous of him.

In her intelligence network, no one fits the description of the thugs.

But this is a question for Salfin: "Your spies didn't tell you what happened in the inner city?"

"Ziegler really dares to do it, that assassination letter made people panic, Coria's girl looked even more nervous, I don't want to hit the muzzle of the gun at this time, I also specially instructed the assassins sent to just capture Luna, don't get into some unnecessary trouble, who knew that Ziegler actually came to such a hand. ”

"This black cauldron seems to be your back. Even Salfin never expected that the initiator of all this would be Captain Ziegler, who was known for his uprightness: "If the person who came to you looked like a high-ranking knight, he should be Tyre Cyrius." ”

"Tyre-Cyrius?" the nightingale muttered to herself, as if she was a little afraid to be sure, "you mean the Empress's teacher?"

"That's right, by the way, I have a message for you - the person who came with him, and Alyssa Shucarredo. ”
