In the middle of the night, the sleeping witch suddenly moved her eyelids, and she stopped moving.

Herman quietly rummaged into the City Lord's Mansion and was about to touch the second floor to find Hawkins' bedroom, when he was stopped by the other party.

"Come here."

Herman turned around and smiled:

"Boss, I'm back."

"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!"

Hawkins didn't show too much surprise, after all, the news that the kamikaze Chamber of Commerce convoy had been hijacked and the entire escort had already spread throughout the city, and now it was estimated that it had spread all over the country.

Because among the people killed this time, there were not only two teams of resuscient knights, but even two ascetics sent by the Southwest Diocese, and it was later confirmed by the people of the Holt family that these two ascetics were wizards of the Gifted rank, and they went to the Dark City this time to guard the Cathedral of the First Light, and the convoy escorting the Kamikaze Chamber of Commerce was just a matter of stopping, but they did not expect to be killed when they approached their destination, which really made the entire Vasitania Grand Diocese angry......

To be honest, Hawkins now regretted taking on this task very much, and if he knew that there were ascetics in the escort team, he would not have agreed to the request of the five major families anyway. After all, messing with a bishop and messing with the entire Elemental Wind Holy See are very different concepts.

But at this point, Hawkins couldn't think about it, and reluctantly smiled: "Well done, how about the casualties of the brothers?" ”

Herman said: "There are only two serious injuries, and we need to be given some medicine by the leader." This time I was lucky, no one died. Speaking of which, thanks to the Devil-Breaking Arrow, without which we would all have died under the magic of those two gifted wizards. ”

Hawkins agreed: "It's okay with the healing potion, our share this month is still sufficient." Let's talk about this operation, let's review it and see if there are any clues left. ”

Seeing Hawkins' solemn expression, Herman had a faint sadness between his eyebrows, and felt a little bad in his heart, so he put away his playful attitude and seriously revisited the battle from the beginning to the end.

Finally, I asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Hawkins pondered for a moment, and didn't find any particularly obvious loopholes, before sighing: "The task was completed very beautifully, but two of the people you killed were very unusual - those two wizards were ascetics under the command of the Church of Cardinal Saint Laurent in the Southwest Diocese, they were originally transferred to guard the church that rejected the dark city, but they didn't expect to be solved by you." ”

"Ascetics?" Herman was stunned, is this a new profession?

Seeing this, Hawkins opened his mouth to explain: "It's just a title, specifically referring to those who give up all secular things to practice penance in the depths of the church or in remote monasteries, both ordinary people and witches, because ascetics are often the group that is most likely to produce fanatical believers or even secondary spirits, so they have a very unique position in the major Holy Sees, even the overlord or even the cardinal who is in charge of the entire diocese will not easily offend an ascetic." And this time you killed two ascetics of the genius rank, not to mention the Southwest Diocese, even the entire Vasitania Grand Diocese is unlikely to stop there, and it is very likely that a master will be sent to track down...... During this time, you'd better be honest. ”

Herman is also very speechless, is this a disaster?

Then he was a little nervous and asked, "Chief, the wizard's methods are strange, will we be tracked?" ”

Hawkins thought for a moment and said, "Don't be afraid, as long as you don't get caught, you won't admit it." This matter has always been done for the five major families, and the five major families are the forces of the Wizarding Society, speaking of which, it is still for the Wizarding Society, and the Knights will protect us. ”

"Really?" Herman had a dry mouth.

Hawkins nodded: "The most serious consequence is that I will be dismissed, don't be afraid, the Knights have no precedent for handing over people to atone for their crimes." ”

Dismissal? The consequences are also serious!

Herman was still a little uneasy in his heart, and suddenly remembered the purpose of coming this time, so he said: "Boss, we now have ten cartloads of goods in our hands, including those two carts of magic materials and two bottles of sixth-level potions. Now that the wind in the city is too tight, we don't dare to transport it into the city, please send someone to tell the people of the five major families, if they want, send someone to No. 119 of the fifth district to negotiate the price as soon as possible, otherwise we will find a way to deal with it ourselves. ”

"Okay."

Although Hawkins' eyes were hot on the two bottles of sixth-level potion, he didn't open his mouth to plunder the loot under his hands, and turned his palm to conjure up a stack of pale green bills.

"Here, this is your mission reward."

Afraid that Herman didn't know the check, Hawkins then said: "This is called a check, and it is a popular payment method in the mainland for nearly a hundred years. Do you see the 'Night Bank' written at the top of the ticket? With these five checks, you can go to First Street to pick up 50,000 C-grade energy stones, and each check has the seals and signatures of the five major families, and it will not be faked. ”

Herman looked at it, and sure enough, he saw that under the Night Bank, the word "10,000" was written, and the unit was "C-grade energy stone", and there was also "pay at sight" below

There were five signatures and five seals at the check-in desk, and Herman recognized the Holt family name, which was Feron Nick Holt.

"Thank you, sir." Herman put away the check and then asked, "Did Pilsen get back safely?" ”

Hawkins nodded: "They rushed back on the 30th, and they were assassinated several times on the way, but in the end, there were no dangers, and there were no casualties." ”

"Assassination?"

"Well, the preliminary news is that the kamikaze Chamber of Commerce has hired bounty hunters, and they will do this kind of thing themselves, and it has nothing to do with us."

When Herman heard this, he knew that the three major families would definitely take revenge on each other next.

After that, he returned the remaining three Demon Breaking Arrows, and paid Hawkins 80,000 contribution points before leaving the City Lord's Mansion. It's late at night, and he'll not get the healing medicine until tomorrow.

After returning home, as soon as Herman entered the door, he heard Vera use her spiritual power to transmit a voice, "Someone is watching you, do you need to get rid of them?" ”

Herman was not panicked when he heard that he was being watched, after all, their entire squad of knights disappeared silently for nearly twenty days, during which time the caravan was intercepted and killed, and if this could not be noticed, the kamikaze chamber of commerce and the bishop of Orleans behind it would not be able to mix up with the status they have now.

"No, leave them alone, we're business as usual." After thinking about it, he asked, "Did the other party notice you?" ”

Vera replied, "Probably not, they can't see the back door of the flower shop, but they should be able to see me lighting the light." ”

"In this case, then don't worry about it, rest early, and open normally tomorrow...... These days, you sprinkle more seeds in your room. ”

Herman was going to let her go out and hide for a few days to get rid of herself, but now that she was seen, it didn't matter, just told her to pay attention to safety.

Vera said yes, and there was no news, and Herman rolled over to bed and quickly fell asleep.

Early in the morning, the fog is misty.

Barron came early to inquire about the news, but Herman didn't tell him about the surveillance, only that the payment had been paid, and that he was left to deal with the magic materials and talent recipes.

At this time, Herman suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake last night, which was to let Hawkins tell the people of the Five Families to come to him. Since he has been targeted, he must be the target of suspicion, and the five major families will come to the door again during this period, wouldn't it be true that he did the matter of the kamikaze chamber of commerce's convoy?

Thinking of this, Herman broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said to Barron: "Hurry up, we have to go to the City Lord's Mansion to stop something, I hope it's still too late." ”

Although Barron was confused, he was pulled out the door by Herman and ran all the way towards Central Street.

At this time, it was the time for the captains of the rotating teams to meet Hawkins, and when the two arrived, they happened to collide with the captains and reciters of the squads who came out together, and the reciters of the Guardian Regiment happened to be Lance, who had a conflict with them, and when the other party saw the two, his face was instantly gloomy.

Ignoring Lance, Herman greeted the three captains and hurried into the City Lord's Mansion.

After confirming that there were no outsiders in the house, Herman said, "Boss, I asked you to find out about the five major families yesterday, and you haven't informed them yet, right?" ”

Hawkins shook his head and said, "I was about to inform them, what's wrong?" ”

Herman breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately told the story of his surveillance and some speculations, and said: "Now is definitely not the time to trade, at least I can't meet with them, otherwise our interception of the kamikaze Chamber of Commerce convoy will be confirmed." ”

Hawkins couldn't help but be shocked, if the interception and killing matter were leaked, the consequences would be too serious.

"It's good that you came late at night, and you came early today, otherwise once you meet and discuss it, follow to pick up the goods, and the people who monitor it will probably find out about it." Hawkins looked happy, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know who is spying on you?" Cathedral of the First Light or Kamikaze Chamber of Commerce? ”

Herman shook his head, he was also reminded by Vera that he found out that someone was peeping, so naturally it was impossible to know the identity of the other party.

Hawkins thought for a moment and said to the two, "Wait for me here." ”

turned around and went up to the second floor, came down after a while, and said to the two: "I'll investigate this matter, you don't care about it for now, as for the goods, I can only put it aside for the time being." ”

Herman nodded, then added, "Boss, I have to trouble you with one more thing. Since the people in the Southern District knew to keep an eye on us, the five major families probably guessed that it was our team that was going to carry out the mission. I'm afraid they'll come to the door on their own, so please tell them not to show their feet because they're in a hurry, and then they will hurt us. ”

Hawkins looked grim and said solemnly: "I know, I will warn them not to come to you." Let's start working as normal tomorrow, and I'll put you in a relatively calm neighborhood. As for the goods and the brothers outside the city, you have managed to hide them. ”

"Thank you, sir."

The two saluted sonorously, then took the slip approved by Hawkins to the treasurer to get the medicine, and then Herman asked Barron to take the medicine to treat Lippi and Bray, and he slowly returned home.
