Chapter 20: Infinite Possibilities

Late at night, Cumberland sat quietly at a table, took out the Shadow Guild's special crystal ball from his arms, recited a spell after stabilizing it, and quickly contacted Peggy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Peggy didn't know how to do it, she could joke casually in front of Brian, she could dress revealingly and deliberately tease, but in the face of Cumberland, the girl felt that she had to sit upright and wrap herself tightly in her clothes before she could talk to him, otherwise she would be very uncomfortable.

"Peggy, I haven't seen each other for a few days, thank you so much for showing me the way, and I have gained a lot since I left Sacred Heart City. Cumberland was grateful.

"You're welcome, I just said a couple of words and came up with an idea, everything changes up to you. Peggy said.

"We don't need to be polite, now I have an important matter to solve, I want to ask you, about the latest news about Count Tauhe, he is the most powerful force on the border, I am ready to deal with him. "For Peggy, Cumberland has no secrets.

Peggy chuckled and said, "The Shadow Guild is not omnipotent, otherwise wouldn't it become a god?" For a character like Tao He, we don't have the energy to do dynamic tracking, so I can only tell you some of the news that the guild has recently collected in the Duchy of Seneh." ”

"Then what do I want to find out about Tao He?"

"Spend money, and then we send someone to collect it for you. ”

"The Shadow Guild is a gold cave!" Cumberland sighed, he didn't have much gold in his hands, and most of the money he brought with him had already been spent.

"It's the first time I've heard you joke that in the past, only casinos and nightclubs were called the Gold Caves. Peggy said, "If you really don't have any money, I can't go against the principles of the guild and collect intelligence for you alone, but I can still do it with a piggyback on Tao He, tomorrow night, I will give you a more detailed material." ”

"Thank you so much. ”

"Don't say that. ”

After Cumberland turned off the crystal, he called out to George, and soon there was a knock on the door, and the Assassin entered the room softly, silently waiting for orders.

"Are you always by my side, George?" asked the Son of God.

"Yes, if there are no other tasks. ”

"How hard it must have been. ”

"I'm used to it, my lord, and it's not a bad day for an assassin to be around you. ”

Cumberland was silent for a while and said: "I represent the bright side of this world, but where there is light, there must be darkness, George, you have to sneak in the darkness, in order to achieve the goal, I can no longer be as simple and direct as in the past." ”

"I understand, my lord, the dark team is training intensively, and I am just worried that I will not be able to complete the task you have assigned because of the trust of the adults. "Just like the last time I investigated Anding City, I didn't find out the real cause of the civil unrest. ”

"That's not your fault, it's too late. "These days, you have had enough time to inquire about the situation of Count Tauh, this lord is very old and stubborn, and I even feel that I have no power to influence his thoughts, and finally resort to cruel force." ”

"My lord, solving problems by force is sometimes unavoidable. ”

"Yes, yes, I understand that I have not completely rejected the role of force because I want to establish the Church of the Holy Heart, but I have gradually become less fond of using it, but I will never hesitate or pretend to be merciful when it is time to use it. "For example, though I consider you a friend, I will still push you into the darkness, because there is no better person than you." After being eroded by darkness for a long time, there will always be a day when it will fall. ”

"But I love the dark, and I can only find myself in the dark. "If I'm not in the corner, I'm at a loss in the bright light." ”

"If you fall completely, I will kill you, George. Cumberland admonished without minions.

"If I fall completely, I will go to a place where no one knows about it, and end the rest of my life, and until then, I will tell you a secret, my friend. It was the first time George had called Cumberland that.

"Your secret, I already know, isn't a secret, George. ”

George's whole body trembled, and it took a long time to ask, "Do you know my past and what I did in the referee?"

"That's right, it was the people of your guild who revealed it to me, and they were worried about my safety and that you would divulge everything, and we shouldn't have worked together. "But all the troubles are gone, and I promise the Shadow Guild that you will have no problems with me, and if something happens, even if it is a big thing, I am willing to bear the consequences, so they will not look for you again." ”

"No wonder, I thought the guild really let me go. George felt a little guilty, "My lord, don't you care about my past, that is a betrayal for you." ”

"It's not a betrayal, it's just that you're not a member of the Inquisition, so you can't talk about betrayal. I won't ask who you have leaked before, and what hidden forces have been working against the Celestial Church, because I am no longer a member of the Celestial Church, but the founder of the Holy Heart. "Just as yesterday I was dead, and today I am new, and so are you, and in my eyes, everyone can do the same." Of course, this does not mean that we are not responsible for the mistakes we have made, and we still have to try to repent and redeem. ”

"I also assure you that the employer I once served was not an evil force. George said.

"I feel that that is the only force that can match the Church of the Stars, and my life's mission is to evolve the soul of life, and if there is the help of the forces of justice, it will be twice as effective with half the effort. I hope that one day, I can become friends or allies with the owner of that power. Cumberland imagined.

"Possibly, my lord, you are walking the same path. George finished speaking, and slowly disappeared.

"Yes, the future is endless. ”
