"I'm really anxious, Lord Cruel. As soon as the cruelty was announced, a soothing and elegant voice rang out: "Don't you wait for everyone to start again?"

The guests, who had sworn many times that they would never be surprised again, violated the test again, not because of the presence of this voice, but because it sounded right in the middle of the rest area where the guests gathered. Where the voice came from, a group of attendees quickly dispersed, giving way to the person speaking in the center.

The one who spoke was a middle-aged aristocrat, wearing a pair of black boots on his feet, which were polished to the ground. The lower half of the body wears a pair of black trousers, and the sides of the pants are embroidered with gold stripes. She wore a long black gown with gold buttons on the placket and cuffs, a black mandala flower pinned to her chest, and a white shirt with a purple bow tie tied around her neck. He wears a black bowler hat with a round brim on his head, a pure white silk glove on his hand, and a cane made of metal at the top. The middle-aged aristocracy walked through the passage of the crowd to the oval table with the unhurried, elegant and calm steps that belonged to the nobles, leaving only a few frightened noble companions. These companions and middle-aged nobles have also had a friendship of at least five years, so they are relieved to come to the city of innocence to enjoy life together, they really can't imagine that the companions who were talking and laughing like in the past one moment actually have a strange identity the next moment.

The middle-aged nobleman walked to the dining table, with a warm smile, pulled out a chair at random, first took out a light blue silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the seat aside, and then took out another handkerchief and put it on the chair, then sat down calmly, kept an elegant sitting posture with etiquette, and whispered in an unhurried voice: "Long time no see, captains." ”

"It turns out that Grace is here, too. Crazy rested his right elbow on the table, supported his chin with his right hand, and said sideways to Grace, "What a surprise." ”

"How could I not participate in such an important event?" Grace's every movement and voice were full of elegance: "I'm really sorry, there was a bit of a delay on the way." Let everyone wait for me. However, the time indicated on the invitation to me was ten o'clock, and punctuality is a gentleman's virtue, so I arrived when the clock struck ten o'clock. It's probably not too late. ”

As soon as Grace spoke, the pupils of each captain contracted slightly, and for thieves, mystery is the greatest enemy. An entity's enemy can always find its weak point and strike at it in a targeted manner. But for an enemy who doesn't know his identity, doesn't know his strengths, and doesn't know his strengths, any search for weaknesses is futile.

"Hasn't the suspicious adults shown up yet?" asked Grace calmly as if she didn't know anything.

"Suspicious adults probably won't be in attendance. "Although several captains maintain a special vigilance against elegance, as legendary powerhouses, they will not be affected by graceful actions at all. Even under the influence of elegance, the movements and language of the people in the rest area have become much more elegant, but several captains do not have any accompanying flowers. Indulgence was still snuggling with amorous, and suddenly said, "So, it's almost time to start." ”

"Well, since the indulgence of the Lord insisted. Grace nodded gracefully. Every rise and fall of the head is as standard as if measured with a ruler: "Then I will wait for your performance." ”

――――――――――――

Sure enough, elegance also appeared. The corners of his suspicious eyes twitched, and he muttered in a low voice: "It's really all the people who came this time." ”

"Don't play with that thing yet. Pannis pinched the bridge of his nose and said in distress, "Let's concentrate on the content first." ”

"But this thing can transmit sound. Lina's eyes flashed with curiosity: "What the hell is it?" ”

"This is actually a kind of intercom. Vivien explained, "Goblin products, the material of the internal structure is very, very peculiar, and it is impossible to replicate it. Those parts are very fragile and can only be preserved until now under very special circumstances. There are only three sets of intercoms, and a fourth set has been found here. ”

"Shhhh I don't know what the intention of indulgence and enthusiasm is to prepare this thing. ”

"I'm Joseph, and I'm originally part of Lord Suspicious. Three months ago, Lord Suspicious gave me instructions to send members of his men into the outside of the guild's underground base from then on. Store supplies at a place he designates. ”

"Sure enough, you are the breakthrough point, no wonder you are in a hurry to hide out. Outside the venue, several people stopped, their eyes fixed on suspicious faces: "Do you want to go in now?"

"There's no hurry. There was no joy or anger in his suspicious eyes, and he shook his head calmly: "Listen to it first." ”

"That's it, because no shadow of the cultist can be found anyway. I was suspicious of where I stored my supplies. On the intercom, Joseph's voice sounded calm, presumably after countless rehearsals: "I shouldn't have suspected the suspicious adult, but this matter is too suspicious." A month and a half ago, when there was a new batch of supplies to be transported, I sneaked into the sewers with the people who were transporting them, and sure enough, I secretly spied on the cultists who received the supplies, and also saw them kill all the transporters. ”

"As you all know, I was originally a member of the guild, and my professional skills were quite reliable, but I was lucky not to be discovered by those cultists. After I came back, I thought about it for a while, and I felt that I couldn't hide it anymore, so I was going to report the matter to the captains. ”

"Why?" the enthusiastic words were extremely brief, and the rest of the natural indulgence helped her add: "She asked why you felt that you could no longer hide it, and what prompted you to betray your protector?"

"Because I want to live, I'm just sixty-seven years old, and I haven't lived enough. Even through the poor sound quality of the intercom, you can hear the sincerity of Joseph's words: "If this continues, when the incident is over, the suspicious adults will definitely kill me, and I can only save myself." ”

"Reasonable idea. An elegant, graceful and charismatic voice came from the intercom: "Completely understandable. ”

"However, the timing was not right. A voice that spoke for the first time said, a very ordinary voice, like a passer-by, without any characteristics: "If according to what you said, this meeting should have happened a month and a half ago, what made you delay until now?"

"It's curiosity. Outside the venue, Suspicious explained: "He seems to be an innocent and curious child, in fact, he knows everything about these things in his heart." And in addition to going out elegant and mysterious, his strength is unknown, he is the person with the highest combat effectiveness among us, and we must be careful if we are on the right side. ”

"I don't know why. Joseph's voice was still calm, and he said without panic: "In order to survive, I immediately reported this information to the two adults in charge of investigating this matter, and the two adults also promised me that they would ensure my safety and investigate this matter. But it wasn't long before I realized that something was wrong, and the suspicious lord seemed to have known about my betrayal and began to use my power in the gambling area in a targeted manner, and several of my men who were close to me disappeared one after another. ”

Sure enough, the second step was to launch an offensive against the two of them. Suspicious looked at the dark intercom, and said with a sneer: "I didn't expect that Joseph, who usually looks ordinary, is quite bold." ”

"I'm afraid it's because there are other people standing behind him. Catherine was already a little impatient waiting outside the venue, and although she knew something about this kind of conspiracy and deceit for educational reasons, she still felt extremely disgusted out of instinct, and wanted to stay away: "Can't we go in yet?"

"If you really don't mind if the two of them take advantage of you, and don't want to ruin their plans, just wait outside. He replied, "If you want to take revenge on them, go in now." ”

"I don't mind. Catherine said, "But not to the point where you want to take revenge on them." ”

"Then wait a little longer. Pannis reassured Catherine, "Since indulgence and enthusiasm have given us this thing, I am afraid that we will be able to grasp the timing of entry." Hehe, for the captain of the Shadow Hand, this kind of behavior of entrusting victory and defeat to you is also incredible. ”

"Don't comfort me. Catherine scoffed, "I know those two guys are courting, I ......"

Before Catherine could finish her sentence, the intercom rang again.

"What do you mean by that, are you accusing the two of us?" The indulgent voice still sounded so charming, but there was a murderous aura in the charm: "Do you want to say that we suppressed this news and revealed it to Suspicious?" Or do you want to say that we and Suspicious have been in the same league from the beginning, and the three of us have been colluding with cultists from the beginning?"

"What's the hurry, indulge your lordship. There was obvious schadenfreude in the cruel voice: "It's also true that there has been no progress in the tracking work of the two of you in the past month. ”

"Really, do you think so?" The indulgent voice was full of teasing: "It's a pity that the two of us have been laying the net, and it will soon be time to close the net." ”

"Who will prove it?" and there was no anger in the cruel voice: "Is it just your word?"

"That's an interesting question. Indulgent covered his mouth and smiled, and asked in surprise: "When is it also popular to talk about evidence in the city of innocence?"

"Hehe, there's no need to talk about evidence. The cruel laughter suddenly became very eerie, and the voice became muffled: "I forgot to tell you one thing, the thing called the nightmare puppet in the sewers, you know, was activated, and then one of my subordinates happened to encounter it, and ran for days to escape the pursuit, and then narrowly escaped it." By the way, I forgot to mention that while getting rid of the puppet, he seemed to see the nightmare puppet chasing after a team of four people not far away, and he didn't know if the team would survive under the puppet's attack.
