Both the Istaron warriors and the Night's Watch are considered elite troops in the regular military sequence of the human kingdom, and the actual combat effectiveness of either side is far greater than that of the rabble of robbers in the brown hills. But the root of this strength is also their weakness - when their firm convictions are destroyed, they suffer more mental blows than torments.

Roger realized this, so he generously made a retention. And it is not difficult to guess in his mind that for a man who is not willing to be lonely, after reaping a huge amount of wealth, the next most important thing must be to recruit troops and expand his strength. Compared with these local bandits who can't hold the table, these two regular armies that have lost their spiritual support are undoubtedly the most suitable subordinates to recruit.

Of course, he himself knew that this idea was not realistic, and it was obvious that neither of these two troops could be bought by a mere amount of gold. It's not that these people really don't love money, it's just that they don't bother with this kind of problem right now. In terms of their skills, even if they want to make money to support their families, there is no need to work for a mere bandit leader. There are many lords in the kingdom of Oakland who can afford the price.

Roger really didn't have anything else in his hands other than money. What he relies on is nothing more than knowing and reasoning on the basis of personal friendship.

As for Roger's thoughts and intentions, El had almost guessed six or seven points, and he certainly had no other hole cards, but he wanted to make a test while the night watchman was disoriented. It's hard to guess about people's hearts, and maybe General Hank will be disheartened and willing to fall into depravity, so he will take his own warriors to become robbers.

It is difficult to force people to have their own ambitions, and besides, the two sides seemed to be friends and foes before, and El didn't bother to ask about this kind of, but after being instigated by Lorana, a somewhat crazy thought suddenly turned in his mind.

El led Lolana to the Night's Watch camp, greeted Knight Kenan, and sat down next to General Hank. General Hank was still in a daze like a sculpture, not paying attention to the others, but Knight Kenan coughed and told the night watch warriors next to him to retreat.

Compared to the other dejected Night's Watchmen, Kenan's nerves recovered faster. Perhaps it was because he was inexplicably treated as a criminal at that time, and the impact of his friend being killed by Quezalas was too violent, and his hatred for Quezalas became more clear, so when the other Night's Watch were still struggling in their hearts, he adapted to it and temporarily took command of the army in place of General Hank.

Although this guy was very rigid before, it was just a personality problem, and it didn't mean that he didn't have a good brain. When he saw El and Lolana coming over, he knew that the other party must have something serious to talk about, otherwise with the embarrassing position of the night watchman now, it really wouldn't be very popular.

"I wonder what advice you two have here?" Kenan asked as he brought two glasses of rum from outside, handed them over, and spoke for his chief.

"I don't talk about advice, I just come and talk. Seeing that Lolana didn't mean to speak, El nodded and said, he took a sip of rum, looked at the distracted General Hank next to him and asked, "I thought this guy's nerves were as strong as his body, but I didn't expect that he was just a little wronged like a girl." ”

His words finally provoked the other party's reaction, General Hank frowned and glanced at El, snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "What do you know......"

His voice was hoarse from the lack of moisture, and Kenan hurriedly handed over another glass of wine. General Hank grabbed the glass unceremoniously, raised his head and drank it down, sighing heavily. Although he still looked very haggard, he was still refreshed.

El had no pity for his decay, pouted and sneered: "Isn't it just that he was pitted, what's the big deal." Remember the tragedy that happened to us in Isttalon? There is also a psychotic of the Truth Society, who suddenly went mad and summoned monsters to destroy the city, and now you still have a rotten life, and what about us? ”

When he first entered the Night's Watch Fortress, El told the Night's Watch about the tragic history of Isttalon. Looking back now, these two experiences are quite similar, and people on both sides can't help but have a feeling of sympathy.

"Why? Why would the truth do this?" General Hank couldn't help but ask a question that everyone wanted to know. If the Istalons only regard the Truth Society as their enemies, the Night's Watch have always been loyal dogs of the Truth Society, and they have proved their loyalty for a thousand years, only to be killed in return. This made General Hank incomprehensible in any way, could it be that the top leaders of the Truth Society were really having a brain convulsion?

"Speaking of which, is it true that you didn't know about Adrian's plan before?" Seeing General Hank's tangled look, El couldn't help but ask.

"Before you entered the ruins, Miss Lolana also looked through our collection of historical documents, and that was all we had. General Hank shook his head helplessly and said, "In addition, all the documents and scrolls related to the mission of the Night's Watch were taken back by the Society of Truth hundreds of years ago. The history of the Night's Watch origins has been lost for years, and the only thing that can be confirmed is that we, like the robbers, are in fact the remnants of Dimient. ”

"Well, that's at least one of my hypotheses. Lolana said with a sudden nod.

"What do you want to say?" El asked, confused.

"What do you want to hear?" Lolana tilted her head to look at him and asked rhetorically, "The reasoning process or the final conclusion?"

"Let's rehash it from start to finish, even if it's just a guess, it's better than we sit here racking our brains. El rolled his eyes and said helplessly.

"Okay, well, in fact, this story is not complicated, it is like a puzzle, each of us has a puzzle in our hands, and although it is still lost after collecting, we can almost see the pattern on the puzzle. Lolana stuck out her tongue and carefully licked a sip of rum, cleared her throat and said.

"First of all, let's put aside the illusionary deception that Adrian designed for us, and let's just start with the beginning of the story. As we all know, Dimient was a wilderness a thousand years ago, and a pioneer knight led the exiles to establish a city-state here that symbolized hope......"

"Skip this history and get straight to the point!" El said impatiently.

"I've already started the theme. Lolana glanced at him angrily, and continued angrily: "Later we learned that there is actually a very crucial truth hidden in this well-known history, that is, the seal of the center of the earth. This wild land is not really uninhabited, at least the ascetics of the Darkmoon Church have been stationed here since the end of the Barbarian Age, silently guarding the seal of the center of the earth. And the pioneer knight we know as he knows him has at least made a deal with the ascetics. He built a castle and a city-state above the cave where the Seal of the Depths were hidden, covering all access to the location of the Seal, and then helped the ascetics of the Darkmoon Church establish a temple in the city. ”

El nodded, understanding the passage, but General Hank and Kennan had blank expressions on their faces, "What are you talking about?" Apparently they don't even know anything about the seal of the Earth's center.

"I had previously guessed that Adrian's true identity was one of the founding sages of the Truth Society, but then I felt that, in terms of time and experience, his maternal grandfather, the pioneer knight Caceros, was closer to that identity. So I overturned my conjecture and re-reasoned, and immediately found an interesting problem. ”

"Because the Truth Society itself is a secret society, the identity of its founders is also kept secret, but one thing is for sure, the twelve sages of the year were all veritable heroes. Although it is recorded in history that Caseros was only a pioneer knight from a humble family, his ability and prestige to lead the exiles to establish a massive city-state in the wilderness in just a few decades can be seen. With his ability, he didn't have to do such thankless labor, so I guess his real purpose was to protect the Seal of the Earth's Heart. ”

"The sages of the Society of Truth want to protect the Seal of the Earth's Center?" El obediently raised his hand and asked, "Didn't you say that it was indestructible and unusable to mortals?"

While this is true, we must also recognize the fact that even the strictest rules can always be exploited. Lolana took a sip of rum, narrowed her eyes and smiled: "At this point in the story, the first piece of the puzzle appears, but not our puzzle, but a clue from Count Kemal. We all know that it is almost an open secret that the Kemal family has demonic blood, but the upper echelons of the Oakland Kingdom turn a blind eye to this, and it is very coincidental that Count Kemal's territory is next to the brown hills, and this surname also appears in the illusion created by Adrian. So we can venture to assume that the Kemal family was indeed in the demon camp back then, and was even an important member of the Demon Order, but they actually cooperated with Kaserus or Adrian, or they could be said to be spies for humans to penetrate the enemy. And the content of their cooperation is naturally to study the seal of the center of the earth!"
