Frederick was sitting in front of the high-backed chair in the president's room and looking at something, the wine glass on the table was already clean, and in front of him was a copy of the latest news from the Seven Stars of Cyrenaica, Frederick's brow furrowed deeply, and it seemed that the situation was not optimistic.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Ralph knocked on the door, and without waiting for Frederick to answer, he pushed the door open and walked in, he walked to the table, Frederick did not look up, still carefully looked at the wire in front of him, Ralph said, "The latest news I just got, Ogst Theodore has just asked through his family connections to "pay special attention" to a player in next month's Titan's 100 Battle, and under normal circumstances, he will definitely attend" After Ralph finished speaking, he also understood Frederick's usual style, and without waiting for him to answer, he went to the side of the wine rack and poured another glass of wine, and by the way, he poured another glass for Frederick.

After the end of the war nearly two years ago, the "Seven Stars" slowly surfaced, and this organization was much larger than Igniz imagined at the time, and what was investigated by the seven nominal founders was only the tip of the iceberg.

The slogan of the Seven Stars is still to save Corvo, and this organization is inextricably linked to the palace, and even the appearance of this organization can even be traced back to Elizabeth Anna, the current Seven Stars because the current domestic situation is in crisis, almost no longer how to hide itself, completely presented to some people, this is a special organization that is completely directly under the Empress, it is only responsible for Corvo's stability.

The appearance of this organization not only represents Corvo's response to the world turmoil caused by Ignatz's return, but at the same time, most of the members of the Seven Stars come from ordinary backgrounds, this organization also represents the interests of the largest number of commoners, and to a certain extent, reflects the dissatisfaction of Corvo Palace and the Empress with the aristocracy that has benefited from the current class division.

After the defeat of the Funeral Army, the rebels led by Biban and Jarvis huddled outside the city of Wilhos, but their influence is not only that, each of them has been in a high position in Corvo, and they are inextricably linked with the major nobles of Corvo behind them, and they have already made a lot of preparations in Corvo's country.

Now Corvo can maintain a calm on the surface, the Seven Stars are indispensable, they have strangled all the "pro-evil" elements in the darkness early, the pro-evil elements are the name of the people who are connected with the funeral army within the Seven Stars, but the Holy See of Ignaiz with the help of Biban and other great nobles, still has a firm foothold in the dark side of Corvo, and the Seven Stars can only eat away at their influence step by step, but they cannot be eliminated in one fell swoop, and recently, the battle between the two organizations in Cyrenaica has gradually become white-hot.

A few days ago, Igniz, through a certain influence on the Hunters' Guild, lured Sirith to the Red Devil's haunted area, hoping to get the Red Devils to kill Sirith in order to anger Theodore and the Count Ogst behind Theodore.

Count Ogest and Theodore have been on the list of pro-evildoers of the Seven Stars for a long time, but it is obvious that Count Ogst is an extremely shrewd nobleman, although he released goodwill to Igniz, but he wavered and did not make any decisions, so Igniz chose to make a risky move and did such a pickled thing, but Igniz never expected that there would be a variable of Luo Mu, so that their plan would fall short.

But for some reason, since Igniz's plan was destroyed by Luo Mu that night, Igniz seemed to have suddenly gone crazy, and his movements in the secret suddenly became bigger, and he frequently contacted some nobles, as if he was understanding someone's intelligence, and even let the Seven Stars occupy the local advantage is a little lacking, and now he has not really found out what Igniz is investigating.

Frederick took a sip of the glass that Ralph had poured for him, and muttered to himself, "What did they find, and why did they suddenly get in a hurry?" Frederick had been so busy in the last few days that he could barely eat, and he couldn't figure out what had stimulated Ignitz.

Frederick looked at the wine glass in front of him and fell into deep thought, he didn't know what Theodore's move meant this time, whether it was a private move, or a signal that Igniz was going to make another move, after all, the Hundred Man War was very popular with the nobles, and the previous editions would be full, and if something happened in the gladiatorial arena at that time, it would be absolutely irreparable.

Ralph didn't bother Frederick's thinking, I don't know how long it took, Frederick's eyes flashed, he raised his head to look at Ralph, and said in a low voice, "All the groups of the Seven Stars are ready, if it is confirmed that the Ogst family has contact with Igniz in the battle of 100 people next month, do it immediately!"

Ralph stood up, pressed his fist hard against his left chest, and shouted "Yes, sir!"

Then Ralph said nothing, he had waited too long for a day, and he turned and walked out.

It was already late at night, and the lights on the streets of the western city of Cyrenaica were gradually dimming, but the surrounding mansions were still shining with golden light, and in an inconspicuous wall next to the Ogst mansion, a figure suddenly appeared, and no one could see how this figure appeared here, as if he had suddenly condensed on the side of the wall like a fog in the night.

Luo Mu stood still, took out a pack of cigarettes from under the cloak, smoked one out and lit it and smoked, the cigarette was just halfway burned, the wall next to Luo Mu moved slightly, a hole appeared on the wall, and Ciris climbed out of it lightly, Luo Mu glanced at her, did not speak, turned around and walked towards the distant mountain forest on the side, Ciris also followed behind him.

This is not the first time that Luo Mu has come to find Sireth at night, the first time Luo Mu didn't know about this passage, but Luo Mu probed a little, and found that there were at least five soul envoy-level soul masters in the mansion of Count Ogest, and they released their soul power all night to gain insight into every move in the mansion, Luo Mu was sure that he would be able to successfully sneak into the mansion once without being discovered, but he could not guarantee that it would be perfect every time, if it was discovered, with Luo Mu's current state, he would be directly strangled by that soul power in less than a round.

And the passage of Sireth came directly from the room to the outside of the mansion through the underground, but it would not be discovered at all, so Luo Mu would come to wait for Sireth outside this passage in the future.

There are a lot of mountains and forests in Xicheng District, and no one will disturb him at all, Luo Mu will not come to Xiruisi every day, Luo Mu has not been here twice in the past few days, these two times Luo Mu did not do much, all used to confirm Xiruisi's psychological state and physical state, Xiruisi is just an ordinary person after all, Luo Mu can't train Xiruisi like the cold ridge trains them, if that's the case, I'm afraid Xiruisi won't survive for a day.

These two contacts with Luo Mu were secretly a little frightened, Siris's body was much better than he imagined, whether it was flexibility or strength, the explosive power far exceeded that of ordinary people, Luo Mu was a little puzzled why Sireth had such excellent physical fitness, but he didn't ask much.

And Ciris felt that she benefited a lot, Luo Mu's two teachings were just for her to exert her strength in some strange ways, or to do some weird movements, but she could clearly feel that her body seemed to be gradually recovering, and her control over her body was getting stronger and stronger, which also made her look forward to Luo Mu's arrival every night.

The two soon came to a flat land in the mountain forest, at this moment the bright moon was in the sky, and the moonlight painted this clearing with a layer of bright silver, how to look at this is also a place to talk about love.

But after Luo Mu stood still, with a wave of his hand, Chopping Cloud suddenly appeared in Luo Mu's hand, the blade was sold, Ciris didn't have time to make any moves, he felt a cold abdomen, Luo Mu's movements were what Ciris could resist at this moment, Cleaved Cloud completely pierced Ciris's body, the slender blade passed through Siris's body, exposed, and the handle of the knife was completely against Syris's stomach without a trace of fat.

Cyris opened her eyes wide, the violent emotions made her vision dim for a while, she didn't expect that this situation would occur now, two lines of tears slid down her cheeks, she opened her mouth, didn't say anything, slowly closed her eyes, quietly waiting for death to come.

But after a while, Sirius opened her eyes suddenly, Luo Mu was still standing in front of her, her eyes were half-closed and half-open as if she hadn't woken up, Sirius looked underneath, the cloud was still inserted in her abdomen, she could feel the coldness of the knife body in her body, but the expected sharp pain did not appear, but it seemed to be just a little stinging pain on the skin.

Luo Mu said a little impatiently, "Okay, no," Ciris said with some trembling, "I... I'm not dead?" Luo Mu said, "You haven't paid the money today, why are you dead," Ciris was suddenly angry.

Luo Mu slowly twitched the cloud back a little, and Sirith suddenly felt the squirming of the internal organs of his body, Luo Mu said, "If you want to learn how to kill, then you must first learn how not to be killed by others, although my knife pierced your body, but the blade did not touch any of your organs, you are now equivalent to just a little skin on your abdomen and back."

Ciris widened her eyes wide, she couldn't imagine this kind of thing at all, but Luo Mu gently stirred the slashing clouds, touching the organs in Ciris 's body, and explained, "This is your liver, the place above where you feel cold now is the hepatic artery, if this is broken, you will die, remember to avoid the next time you are stabbed, this is your spleen..."

Cyris felt as if he had never had a vivid biology class in his life, Luo Mu explained for nearly half an hour before he completely pulled out the clouds, and although Cyris was only equivalent to breaking the skin, he still bled a lot, although it was not fatal, but it also soaked his clothes.

Luo Mu pulled out the cloud and looked at Ciris and asked, "Do you remember everything" Ciris covered the stabbing wound in his abdomen, bit his lip and said, "Remember" Luo Mu nodded and said, "Then I will stab you again now, I won't deliberately avoid it, you are not allowed to hide, but you must not let me be injured in the places I just said through the twisting of the body, if you don't avoid it, then you will really die"

Ciris suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, "I! I'm not ready!" Luo Mu didn't want to talk nonsense at all, and stabbed him directly.

I don't know how long it took, Sires sat down directly on the ground, with at least three more wounds on her body, all near the first knife that Luo Mu had just stabbed, Sires obviously did not meet Luo Mu's requirements, blood had oozed from the corners of her mouth, and the clothes on her body had been completely soaked with her blood, Sires glared at Luo Mu fiercely, except for the first knife, Luo Mu completely looked like he was going to kill her.

Luo Mu didn't have the slightest sense of pity for the jade, he walked up to Sireth and said, "Take off your clothes" Sires stared at her in shock, her mouth was also open, ah, a few times but she didn't say anything, Sires felt that her brain, which was already a little dizzy due to excessive blood loss, was shocked by Luo Mu's words and fainted for a while.

Luo Mu frowned dissatisfiedly, Miao Yun had never been so troublesome before, he looked at Siresi's body and said, "According to the place I stabbed just now, as well as the amount of your bleeding, you have at least twenty or more veins and blood vessels in your body and on the surface of your body, at least one of the arteries has been touched and has begun to leak blood, if you don't bandage it in time, you will really die."

As soon as Luo Mu's words fell, Ciris felt a chill in her body, she bit her lip again, and glanced at Luo Mu, Luo Mu had already taken out a large roll of bandages and several bottles of wound medicine from under the cloak, and it was completely obvious that she was prepared.

Luo Mu squatted in front of Siris, the clothes that Sirius was wearing were completely soaked with blood, if it was a girl with an average body who had passed out under this amount of blood loss, but Sirius could still maintain basic consciousness, which was still quite satisfactory to Luo Mu.

Luo Mu carefully smeared the wound with medicine, and suddenly Luo Mu stopped, the ladies of the aristocratic families are popular to wear a tight-fitting corset under their clothes, which can make the chest more stylish and avoid some embarrassment, of course, Ciris is no exception.

Luo Mu touched the corset with the scabbard, and signaled, "Take it off, affect the bandage" Ciris suddenly struggled, she shouted, "You, don't go too far, you, you..." Luo Mu drank impatiently, "Do you want to die? Sireth stopped moving suddenly, she paused for a moment, slowly raised her hand, took off the corset, and put it aside, at this moment Siris's entire upper body was exposed to this moonlight, the crystal blood and white skin reflected each other, but Luo Mu's hand was extremely stable, he didn't even fluctuate his eyes, and he bandaged the wound very skillfully.

Luo Mu stood up, took off the cloak, threw it on Sirith's body, and said, "Checkout" Sirith did not respond, with tears in the corners of her eyes, wrapped the cloak, slowly stood up, took out a few gold coins from the clothes on the side and threw them to Luo Mu, looking at this scene, Luo Mu's heart suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he was engaged in some strange profession.

Luo Mu put away the chopping clouds and said, "Let's go, I'll send you back"

When I got home, it was almost early in the morning, and there were two steamed buns in front of the bed in Luo Mu's small room.

Seeing that there was no one, Ash jumped out of Luo Mu's chest, holding the steamed bun and gnawing it beautifully, Luo Mu put away the gold coins he got from Sirith on the side, and calculated, if Luo Mu can really win the hundred-man battle next month, counting the previous savings, then it will be just enough for the expenses that Nogris needs to pay.

Luo Mu lay on the bed, the moonlight outside the window was still bright, Luo Mu knew that Theodore would definitely do something, but without Theodore's help, Luo Mu would not have been able to participate in the Titan's 100-man battle so smoothly, Luo Mu knew that next month's 100-man battle was his last chance, despite this, he was only allowed to succeed, not to fail.

Luo Mu looked at the moon outside the window, thinking about the past days, thinking about his parents, thinking about Ke Rui, thinking about Bank, thinking about Miao Yun, and lost sleep.

But Luo Mu was not the only one who suffered from insomnia, Sireth was lying on the bed, holding Luo Mu's black cloak, and staring blankly at the sun rising outside the window.

Note 1: The Burial Army: The main attacking organization under Igniz's command is called the Senna Expeditionary Army, and the Burial Army is one of the armies led by the generals in the Senna Expeditionary Army, the Burial Army is mainly responsible for the capture of Corvo, and occupies the first piece of land for the comeback of Ignaiz and Hell.
