(PS: More than 5,000 words, two chapters and one chapter, the tanuki's paw is saved...... ）

Noon.

Donne and Count Dino spent half a day in the Imperial Sanatorium, where they had lunch before packing up and preparing to leave.

Don't get me wrong, Don and Woodin didn't talk for a long time, and it only added up to half an hour. The rest of the time, Earl Dino told Wooding some historical things as usual, and Don also listened quietly on the side, and then looked at Wooding, who showed a melancholy look from time to time, with a thoughtful expression-

What Count Dino said was not a casual nonsense with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west. Instead, it strictly follows the timeline to explain the history of the Bran Empire from scratch to about a thousand years, in a clear and detailed manner...... If Wu Ding's physical condition is not good, his days are numbered, if he is not mistaken, this move should be to figure out this way, and then finally 'see' the empire he has guarded for most of his life......

There is nothing strange about it, the elderly are basically careless, but they are afraid that their memories will be stranded.

And for now, it is also a disguise for Don. Meeting as usual, telling history as usual, and finally, naturally, leaving the Imperial Sanatorium and leaving the royal castle as usual......

On the way back, Don was a little silent in the car, not continuing to lament Woodin's slightly bleak evening scene, to be honest, there was nothing to sigh about. Birth, old age, sickness and death are human common sense, and Wu Ding, as the person concerned, sees it very thoroughly, and Tang En, an outsider, naturally has no reason to worry about it.

Don was just thinking about what Wooding had said earlier - assassinating the Pope, no one else had any hope, and he couldn't even infiltrate the Temple General Assembly. But resting on him. It's a possibility......

Wooding's words are naturally not untargeted. Infiltrate alone. With Donn's assassin skills, even if it was a terrifying and abnormal temple association, he should have some confidence in blending in - or rather, if there was anyone in this world who could sneak into the temple guild, Donn would definitely be one of them.

There is no doubt about it, because professional!

That's what Don had planned before, if he wanted to quietly rescue Xia Weien, of course, he had to infiltrate the temple first.

But things have changed. Infiltrating the temple is no longer a winner, but a prerequisite. Kill the Pope, that's the key to solving the problem!

If infiltrating the temple is always going to be able to do it by anyone else in this world besides Donn. If you want to assassinate the Pope, Donn is the only one who has any hope of success...... This is what Woodin said, and he also gave a reasonable explanation.

Because Don is the fastest shot!

The more detailed explanation is that on the territory of the General Assembly of the Temple, if you fight head-to-head with the Pope, who has the home advantage, there is no hope at all. Because the longer it drags on. The more powerful the Pope is, the more powerful he is. This, even if Wooding is there with a sword. The result is the same.

So if you want to successfully kill the Pope, you must sneak attack, you must assassinate, and you must fight quickly!

After all, the Pope is old, and he has little hands-on experience with people, so when he encounters a sudden accident, his on-the-spot reaction will definitely not be much faster, and it is estimated that he is no different from ordinary people. This is also true, so the Pope never leaves the General Assembly of the Temple, nor does he put himself in danger without protection.

And this is Don's chance! Only Don can operate!

He's a killer, he's an assassin. Proficient in infiltration, good at quick battles. As long as he can infiltrate the temple and find a way to get close to the Pope's surroundings, he can burst into action and seize the instantaneous fighter plane before the Pope reacts, there may not be no possibility of killing with one blow......

Of course, things are easier said than done, let alone whether this is to assassinate the Pope who controls the Millennium Temple, or on someone else's turf...... The probability of success is too low, too low, too low to be negligible......

......

"Don Jr., look at our next itinerary......"

"Well, oh......" In the carriage, looking at the royal castle far behind, the Count Dino, who had palpitations, was finally able to calm down a little and take the lead in breaking the silence in the car. And Donne, who was sitting opposite and frowning silently, looked up blankly, his eyes were in a trance, obviously he didn't hear what he asked, "I'm sorry, what did you just say, Earl?"

Count Dino didn't care, waved his hand and said, "That's right, after meeting Lord Sword God, Sir Philip will take the time to come to my manor to meet you again, but the time is at night." So this afternoon is half a day...... Shall I take you back to the manor and wait for you, or will you come with me to the Imperial Archives Department and stay there for a while?"

"Go to the Imperial Archives. Tang En groaned, instantly understood the other party's thoughts, and smiled politely, "Trouble Lord Earl." ”

Acting in full set. Don is a fresh face after all, and now he has shown his face in the Imperial Sanatorium. In order to prevent people from checking over, it is natural to show your face again in the Imperial Archives Department, and there is a beginning and an end, so that it is the safest.

"Hehe, it's not troublesome, it should be, it should be...... Then we'll go to the Imperial Archives now? Don't worry, I've arranged everything there, and I won't be on a business trip. Count Dino was overjoyed when he heard this, in fact, this was the best result for him, because once the authenticity of Donne's identity was doubted, Don En could walk away, but he, a man with a name and a surname, and a family and family, would inevitably be implicated.

After such a distraction, Don En didn't continue to think about the question just now. After all, judging from the current situation, the assassination of the Pope is still very far away, and how to infiltrate the temple now will always be unplanned...... Picking up the corner of the curtain cloth, Tang En looked left and right, the terrain and environment were quite familiar, and a vague place name also surfaced in his heart, as if it was a commercial street......

However, compared to the pomp and circumstance I saw when I last visited, the streets and shops are much more deserted. It was noon, and it was a prosperous capital, and it should have been the time when the flow of people and vehicles was the most dense, but now at a glance, there were more people riding horses than cars on the streets, and there were more people wearing armor than pedestrians in cloth clothes.

Just as Don shook his head and lowered the curtain, he suddenly slowed down the speed of the car under him. The horses neighed through the window.

"Damn! Endless. Count Dino's face darkened suddenly. Grumbling in a deep voice.

Don shrugged his shoulders, didn't speak, didn't take it to heart. When this situation came, they had already encountered it many times, and it was nothing more than a parking spot check. Fortunately, it's daytime, and the inspection is obviously much weaker, you must know that when they come in the morning, it is basically a stop for ten minutes, and it is really endless.

Lean slightly. The carriage came to a complete standstill. Then the sound of horses' hooves approached, and two polite knocks came from outside the car window.

"Guard Dragoon. ”

Count Dino muttered, his expression visibly much more relaxed. As mentioned earlier, there are two main inspection forces in the capital, one is the garrison dragoon, which is similar to the garrison cavalry of ordinary cities. The second is the Royal Guard, which comes from the royal castle. The power of the former is much lower than that of the latter, so the attitude is relatively milder, and when inspecting a vehicle with a piercing eye, it is generally only knocked on the window and looked through the curtain. If it's the latter, it's hard to say. Even if you know that you are an imperial official, you have to open the car door.

"Excuse me. Routine check-ups...... Yo, Lord Count Dino?"

"Uh, you're ......"

"The Dragoon Brigade of the Second Hall of the Capital Garrison, Bernie. We ask for your understanding and cooperation. ”

"Oh, it's Captain Bernie. It's been a great job, it's been a hard work, please check it. "Although I was very impatient with the endless inspections before, when the car window was lowered and he really faced the inspectors, Count Dino still had a very good attitude, and his words were gentle. There's no way, the county officials might as well be in charge now.

The sturdy middle-aged man named Bernie was not ambiguous, and said that he didn't dare to dare, but his sharp eyes were already scanning the inner wall of the carriage back and forth, and finally fixed on Don who looked up, and met the latter's slightly surprised gaze.

"Is this ......?" it wasn't Bernie who asked, but a sturdy one-eyed man in the prime of life behind Bernie with a red nose, looking at Don and suddenly asking

"Isven, Historian of the Imperial Archives. Don blinked, his gaze swept over Bernie and then the one-eyed man, and he took the initiative to introduce.

"It's Isven-sama, hello, hello. Bernie greeted politely.

Earl Dino looked at Don with some surprise when he heard this, you must know that when he encountered the inspection before, he took the initiative to introduce it...... didn't think too much about it, and looked at Bernie reservedly: "It's just the two of us here, Captain Bernie, you see...... Would you like to come in and check it out?"

"Haha, no, no. Laughing and waving his hand, Bernie glanced at the one-eyed man, who nodded slightly, waved directly, "Let go." Well, I'm sorry, Master Dino. ”

"It's okay, you are also responsible, and now the defense of the capital depends on you......"

......

After a few polite words to each other, the windows closed, and the carriage slowly moved forward.

"What, Don Jr., do you know that Captain Bernie just now?" Seeing Don open the curtain again and squint sideways to look at Don, Count Dino couldn't help but guess.

"I guess I know. After a slight pause, Tang En didn't hide it, and sighed softly with a somewhat strange expression, "Old acquaintance, but I haven't seen you for a long time......"

It's really an old acquaintance, and it's true that I haven't seen each other for a long time.

The middle-aged man was named Bernie, and the one-eyed man who habitually rubbed his red nose was called Bowes.

It was the gang members, assassins and other villains in Laiyan City who were feared in the underground world before. They were also the two guys who gave Donn a headache in the early stages of coming to the Otherworld. This situation lasted until Tang En's strength increased, and the relationship between the two sides eased slightly after they cooperated to trap a bounty hunter master.

But it was around that time that Don didn't continue to deal with the other party. I always thought that these two people should still be in a certain city in the north at this time, and continue to partner as their garrison chief and cavalry commander, but I never thought that they actually came to the southern capital, and they coincidentally bumped into him on the road......

Thinking about the general trajectory route of Don after he came to the other world, Xiaoshi Village, Laiyan City, the north, and now Brandu City, the other party actually participated in more than half of it, such a coincidental encounter, I really don't know if it should be a fate to meet thousands of miles, or is it a narrow road......

However, one thing can be confirmed, that is, when they meet again in a different place, the identity, mood, strength, etc. of both parties are different from the past.

To give a very obvious example, I still remember that when Don first disguised himself in front of Boris, he was immediately noticed by the other party. But now Don sat calmly, within a foot of distance, and looked at each other with great interest. The latter was completely indifferent. I didn't find the slightest flaw.

What a gap......

All right. Don was a little happy in his heart. It is similar to the feeling of returning home and returning to his hometown. It's also similar to the instant feeling of upgrading to the full level in an online game and returning to the novice village, and then looking at the little boss who abused himself to death at that time.

Hah――

Alright, back to business.

The carriage arrived at the Imperial Archives Department, and after Don showed his face again, he naturally wouldn't stay there for long. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the Earl of Dino took him back to the manor and had a round with Jack, Harry and others, who had come early in the morning.

The next thing was to wait, for Philip to come and meet. This kid asked someone to come over so solemnly. It's definitely not small. Other than that, the capital is his home turf, and they can be a lot easier with him in Donn. And the temple will always be not far from here, and he must be familiar with it, in a word, the next action will definitely be useful to him.

Of course, it's not okay to wait. In the side hall arranged by Count Dino, everyone gathered and put on the map, relevant information and information, and Tang En briefly relayed Wu Dingjian. The plan to assassinate the Pope was officially launched.

"Assassination of the Pope...... Boss, do we have to play this big?"

How else to say what kind of generals bring out what kind of soldiers. After Don changed the goal of the trip, everyone was silent for a while, and Harry couldn't hold his forehead, sighing exactly the same words as Donn before.

"Nonsense! Don't you think about it? Isn't this forced to be helpless?" Don En rolled his eyes, glanced at the speechless crowd around him, and waved his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's think about how to sneak into the temple first." ”

I have to say that none of the people present are afraid of things. Not to mention the gray space, it was taught by Tang En, so I don't know how to write the words I am afraid of. Jack is also a fierce man who picks hundreds of locks and slips through thousands of households, as long as there is enough interest, he dares to steal from the gallows. Not to mention the rest of Owens, who is now fighting with the temple, so naturally he will not be afraid of his old club...... The shocking news of such a group of strange people gathering together to assassinate the Pope was digested and absorbed in a moment.

Immediately, there was a lively discussion about the feasibility of the plan.

"It doesn't seem difficult to look at the map...... The temple will always be on an island, surrounded by water. It seems like there is no way to go, but isn't this waterway the biggest flaw?

"The area is a bit big, the distance is too far, can you swim through?"

"We can't swim through, Boss can. ”

"That's what I said......

"No!" Owens suddenly spoke up as everyone quickly came up with the first feasible plan to discuss, and simply frowned and vetoed, "It's always not that simple to sneak into the temple, at least diving over it will definitely not work." As you may not know, the temple is always in the endless waters, and there is not a single decent fish in the water near the shores. Any idea why?"

Looking around, "For thousands of years, I don't know how many magic traps have been placed in the temple under the water, and its danger is not an exaggeration to say that it is hellish magma. Anyone who wants to dive past it will definitely die!"

"Damn, so ruthless?"

"What you can imagine, after all, the millennium is there. If you do, you don't know how many times the temple has been stolen. "Jack gave a professional evaluation from his own professional field.

"You can't say that's in the air?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? The people in the temple are not blind, and they will definitely be bombarded and killed if they swagger through the air. ”

"What about space, isn't the boss able to teleport?"

Hearing this, Donn's heart moved slightly, and he thoughtfully touched his chin and looked at Owens.

Unfortunately, Owens shook his head again: "There is always no locked space in the temple, because there is a teleportation array to operate on the island. However, there are too many magicians in the club, and if there is a little spatial fluctuation on the island, they can't escape their keen perception, and they will still have to be exposed at that time. ”

Harry scratched his head: "This Nima...... Underwater, in the air, in space, how do you dive in?"

Tang En looked at the map and thought for a moment, then asked, "Owens, how do the clergy on the island contact the outside world?

"Of course it's impossible, the cost of every teleportation in the teleportation array is not small, even if the temple has a thousand years of heritage, it can't bear this kind of consumption. Owens shook his head, pointed to the map, and said, "There are four large docks on the island in four directions, and even more on the other side of the lake. ”

As soon as the words fell, Harry slammed his palm: "There is a ship? As long as we control a few clergy of equal stature, how about we just board the ship with a little disguise?"

"Well, that's an idea. With us, no, at the level of the boss's disguise, the other party will definitely not see the flaw. ”

"It......'s not that easy," Owens smiled bitterly twice, waving his hand regretfully, and once again struck everyone's confidence, "I admit that Donne's disguise is very high, and it is almost true. Judging from the physical appearance alone, the people in the temple will not find the clues. But ......"

After a pause, Owens spread his hands and said, "Who is there besides me who will perform light magic, who will use divine fighting energy?"

Tang En frowned: "You mean, when they check their true identity, they look at who has a light magic element or a divine fighting spirit element on their body?"

Owens nodded, "Yes, and not everyone can enter the temple association." In other words, the clergy who can stay on the island and come and go freely, whether they are warriors or magicians, have their fighting spirit and magical attributes recorded in the temple. After this inspection, there is basically no possibility of error. ”

Everyone was completely speechless when they heard this, this is so tightly guarded to the teeth. It's such a strange place, it's hard to even get close, let alone get in and destroy it.

For a moment, Harry's brows tightened: "There is not a single success story?

"This ...... There should be. But I don't know for a long time, I only know that someone once entered the temple association last year and caused a lot of trouble. ”

"Oh, how did he get in?" the crowd was thrilled.

"Previously, there was a remote teleportation array in the Northern Temple General Headquarters, which could be directly transmitted into the interior of the Divine Temple General Headquarters. He entered it in this way, and then without waiting for the temple to react, he split the outer defensive cover of the general assembly with a knife and walked away. After a pause, Owens looked at the shocked crowd and spread his hands, "Although there is no evidence in the temple, he doesn't admit it...... However, that person should be the sword god Wu Ding. ”

"Damn—"
