"The information obtained from the Hand of Light was two city lords who opposed the founding of the country four months ago, namely the lords of Elward and Quelva." Hill asked in a pondering voice, "Qin Lun, who do you think the target of the Santalin Society will be?"

Although Santalin Society has already had a way to sneak into the Supreme Palace during the celebration, there are probably not many people who can sneak into it. Apart from Angelo's disguise, there are at most several peripheral waiters who cannot approach the core area of ​​the banquet as a response.

In this way, they may not be able to assassinate the lords of Ayrward and Quelva at the same time, and they can only choose one of them.

Ailward is a large city located below the south of the eternal wilderness, very close to the Supreme Forest. The races in the city are composed of humans, elves, half-elves and half-lings, and are protected by tall walls on the outside.

The city is mainly engaged in trade activities, and it is in the war between the goblin tribes in the eternal wilderness and became ally with Silver Moon City. However, the city's ruling body is the Council of Six Elders, and the lord is taken turns by the six elders, and there is a serious struggle for power within.

In fact, these six elders basically support Ayerd to join the future Silver Moon Federation, but under the struggle between them, there will always be a few elders who have to choose to become opposition in order to compete with their political enemies. This is the case with the elders of the council who are now lords.

It is a general trend for Ayerward to join the Silver Moon Federation, because the city has been attacked from all sides since its establishment and its surroundings are very harsh.

Its geographical location is on a plain, with roads connected by all means and commerce and activities flourish. Whether it is the goblins in the eternal wilderness or the giants in the wilderness, they are eyeing them and coveting the richness of the city.

In addition, the Tulang Shu people in the highest forest in the south of the city are gradually moving the forest border to the north, while Ailward is a stumbling block in front of them. The reason given by the tree people is to drive the remnants of Hell Gate Castle to the east, but in this way, conflicts will inevitably arise between the two sides.

On the one hand, the Tulangshu people hate urban residents entering the Supreme Forest with their axes. On the other hand, the daily lives of citizens are also affected by the shadow of the woods. The sunshine time in the southern urban area is very short.

As for the Quelva in this incident, it is a little different from Aylward. It is not a big city like Aylward, but just a small woodland town.

Quelva is a minor ally of the Silver Moon Alliance, whose residents are made up of humans and half-elves. The city lives by making wine and logging. The people of the Silver Moon Alliance once joked that Quelva must stay in the Alliance because it has the best woodland hotel - the Minglu Tavern!

"I think if there is a choice, the main goal of Santalin Club will be Eilward. After all, the city has a larger population and stronger strength, which will have a greater impact on the Silver Moon Alliance."

Qin Lun said without hesitation, "What's more, the model of the Elders' Council has too low administrative efficiency. If the lord is assassinated, it will probably be chaotic for a while, and Santalin will delay the founding of the Silver Moon Alliance. As for Quelva, its influence is much smaller. Although it can also play a role in shaking the tiger across the mountains, it should be just the second goal."

"Anyway, since we have learned about the conspiracy now, it will be difficult for the Santalin Society to succeed." Hill said with a smile, "How do we deal with Angelo's body."

"You don't have to test me. Am I like such an emotional person? In order not to alert the enemy, my old friend may have to stay here for a while." Qin Lun looked at the old charlatan angrily and said in a deep voice.

"With the strict arrangement of Santalin this time, it is hard to imagine that they will leave such a big flaw. Although they don't know why they left in a hurry and didn't even deal with the body. But I believe that once they handle the matter at hand, they may turn around. After all, in their opinion, this stronghold has not been exposed yet."

"Haha, it's best if you think so! We are very lucky, but if we want to achieve this task perfectly, we probably need the cooperation of the other party." Hill nodded with a smile, "We can't fight the lineup of two legendary powerhouses alone, and we will not get too high the exploration of the world we have in the middle of the slaughter of the Santalin Association."

Hill and Qin Lun each had a smile on their faces. Legendary powerhouse, what a beautiful word!

The people who participated in the assassination plan of the Santalin Association this time are at least at higher level. If they destroy the Santalin Association's plan in the middle, they will not conduct assassination again and can only achieve the mission at the lowest level. However, if one of the high-level assassins of the Santalin Association or even the legendary powerhouses is left behind, the final benefits of the mission will be maximized.

In this way, they need a group of helpers to block the legendary powerful men of the Santalin Society so that they can defeat them one by one, and the lords and guards at the Silver Moon Celebration are naturally the best cannon fodder.

As for whether the Silver Moon Alliance will cause major losses, this is not within the scope of the consideration of several apostles. They can complete the task by allowing the assassins of the Santalin Society to appear at the last moment and destroy the actual effect of the conspiracy.

"Sorry, old friend, I want to let you wait a few more days here!" Qin Lun put away the flesh and blood puppet, put the ragged clothes back to his original position, and finally glanced at Angelo's body, sighed, and turned around and walked outside.

"Sure enough, there are still subtle changes, not just because of Eristine's relationship?"

What Qin Lun didn't see was Hill behind him, staring at his back and frowned slightly. The shepherd's vague temptation before was not that simple. He and Rand both sensitively realized that Qin Lun was a little different from before.

After the two came out of the cellar, they did not talk about Angelo to Ilistin and Idriya. They simply said a few perfunctory words and dealt with the traces they left in the farmhouse. The group once again sank into the deep night.

...

After Qin Lun and others left, around dawn, several figures appeared faintly in the mist of the morning in the wilderness far away in the farmhouse.

There were about ten of them, and the leaders of them were covered with black veils on their faces, and they were silent in their actions. At a glance, they knew that they were shadowers who had been walking in the dark world for many years.

These people had no conversations and laughed at each other, their movements were concise and swift, and they disappeared in the farm house in a moment.

"Hey, no, I smelled a strange smell." A dark shadow walked into the cellar suddenly shouted softly in surprise.

"Can it be a mouse or something?" a companion beside him asked in surprise.

"Impossible, we didn't have much time to leave. The smell of blood was much stronger than it is now. The secret door of the cellar was opened for at least a quarter of an hour before the smell would dissipate so quickly." The leading black shadow's eyes surged and he shouted loudly, "Call Mosmere down and use the backtrack magic to check what happened here?"

"Chief, it can only last for such a long time." A thin black shadow wiped the sweat from his forehead and said tiredly.

There was a blurry image in front of him that emitted a magic halo, which was flickering unstable, and finally turned into light and dissipated in the air.

However, this is enough. The dozen or so shadows surrounding the mirror have seen clearly what happened several hours ago. Although the magic of the backtrack is extremely blurred and cannot recognize the appearance and appearance of the characters who broke into the cellar, it at least confirms that the secret stronghold has been exposed.

"Damn it, I just left for a short while, those greedy were damn..." A tall figure in the shadow punched the wall of the cellar, shocking the entire cellar, while the other shadows fell into a terrible silence.

"We have been preparing for so long. Do we have to give up at the last moment?" After a while, a dark shadow croaked and said unwillingly.

"No, we cannot give up. Silver Moon has put such pressure on the organization in the alliance stage. We must not let them establish a unified federal state." The leader of the black shadows said firmly.

"Don't forget the leaders of the 'Inner Ring's expectations for this mission and the massive resources invested by the organization. If we don't even try it and just return it like this, the consequences can be imagined..."

"But... leader, if the plan has been exposed, we can't even get the barrier of the High Palace. The chances of assassinating the Lord of the Silver Moon Council in front will not be higher than 10%." The black shadows said hesitantly.

"My Excellency Milot, please don't worry too much! According to the information you provided, the object of "Crow" disguised as a special identity. Although the status is very high, there are very few people who know him in Silver Moon City. The intruders may not be able to find out his identity in just a few days."

The person who spoke was the few young men without masks in the shadows. The young man had thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes. Although his face was handsome, he always had a gloomy face.

At this moment, he smiled and pointed at the corpse to remind everyone, "What's more, from the blurry image of the intruders just now, they don't seem to be fully armed silver guards, maybe just adventurers passing by the farm. They may not necessarily think of us, and they may even regard the situation here as a gnoll."

"Weis is right. Our plan has not been completely exposed. Maybe we can still take a gamble." The leader of the black shadow was refreshed and his eyes looked at the young man became more gentle. It can be seen that he admired this junior who had only joined the Santalin Club a few months ago.

"Gambling? No, My Excellency Milot, I never gamble, nor do I like this kind of game of winning with a small probability." The young man named Weiss leaned over and bowed, but his expression was a little proud. "I just think this plan is not on the verge of failure, but I don't gamble this plan is not exposed at all."

"Oh? Weiss, then your thoughts are..." the leader frowned slightly and asked cautiously.

"Since there is a flaw, let's add another backup plan!" Weiss smiled softly and gradually lowered his voice.

After a while, the dark shadows in the cellar finally dispersed and moved again, cleared all the blood and corpses in the cellar, quickly left the farm, and disappeared into the morning light of dawn. Now everything is ready, and they no longer need to stay in this stronghold that may have been exposed.
Chapter completed!
