Chapter 523
Outside the house is icy rain, and beside him is an unbearable fire.
The two facing each other looked at each other without words.
After a long time, the black hair wizard slowly raised his head and spoke softly:
"Me?"
"Accurately speaking...I am killing you now The best time." The indifferent night watchman opened his eyes and his face was frosty: "Maybe there will be someone without Connold's hands... No, it should be said that half of the people in Imperial Capital are crazy and want you to die. !"
"Loren, you won this imperial trial so beautifully and so thoroughly that His Majesty Eckhart needs to personally intervene to maintain the balance between the church and the wizard Academy—the balance is Breaking is a very dangerous sign!"
Edward’s mood grave reached the extreme: "It’s not just Webber that is in your hands, but the church’s moderates headed by Innocent Archbishop behind him. '; Once Archbishop loses power, the radicals led by Magistrate will control the entire Holy Cross Church!"
"As for the Charn family...I heard that the new generation of Charn count seems to have no peace. You mean that you are an enemy; but then he must first find a way to control the entire family, and he has no time to take into account the private retaliation of the rest of the conservative nobles;"
"Yord who lost to you in the big game Chamber of Commerce, you won three hundred million in order to defeat them; indeed, you have shocked the entire Imperial Capital Chamber of Commerce and the guild, and made them willingly become a member of Brandon;"
"Have you ever thought about it...Even if they are really afraid of you, it does not mean that they don't hate you-on the contrary, they hate you so much that you can see the bones!"
The face is tense: "You almost won this game. The Emperor must intervene personally to prevent the balance of Great Influence from disintegrating; you have established a reputation in the Imperial Capital, established prestige and prestige in the wizard class, and won We have gained the wealth of the enemy’s country and defeated the enemy who threatened the wizards the most..."
"But! You have also carried the most hatred, fortune or bad name... Within the Imperial Capital, There are people who want you to die everywhere!"
The black hair wizard who said nothing, his expression gradually became heavier.
"From what I know about you... I originally thought that you should choose the'reconciliation' approach, so I didn't make much preparation; now it seems that something unexpected happened, or you I think a hearty victory is more beneficial to you and Brandon."
Edward sighed, his eyes were very complicated: "I don't want...and don't need to know the reason, I just want to remind...now You are very dangerous, very dangerous!"
"Once the night watchman really decides to do it, it will definitely not be you alone; Ain, Isaac, Lucien... and even everyone around you who has too much contact Everyone is in danger of life; you should be familiar with Lut Infinite's methods."
Loren's pupils shrank slightly, and the corners of his eyes had already exposed the killing intent.
"Of course...it’s not without good news." The night watchman changed his words: "Ain and Lucien broke through the night watchman’s ambush, and Lena Desalion’s backwater... these It’s definitely not what the Crown Prince of Connold expected."
"Even the forces standing behind Connold, they are not united as one... even in a state of mutual distrust, or even hostility-change In other words, no matter what Connold’s plan is, it has now been completely disrupted."
"He is in the Broken Front Mountain Fortress, and he can't deal with beyond a thousand li Imperial Capital. You guys."
"In a short time, you are still safe."
Loren twitched the corner of his mouth. He could hear the comfort of Edward's words.
It is safe in a short time...The implication is that it won’t be long before someone wants to do it on them.
"How much time is there?"
"A week, half a month, a month... It is possible, the exact time is not clear, they have begun to doubt me." Edward was helpless Shrugged, but his expression remained indifferent:
"This tower is the best proof...Almost half a month ago, the night watchman of Imperial Capital had replaced the new headquarters and demoted it to It's an ordinary stronghold, but I still don't know the location of the new headquarters, and I don't even know the general area."
The black hair wizard frowned slightly.
This is in trouble...Edward is the only night watchman he can trust. If he also starts to be suspected... his own eyeliner in the night watchman will be gone.
It's just suspicion right now... For Rut Infinite, even suspicion alone is enough to make him no longer trust Edward and the entire Eboden's night watchman.
The issue involved is not only the safety of myself and the little wizard, but also my own revenge plan for Lut Infinite. This is the most critical!
A mad dog-like organization of night watchmen is definitely not what I want, and my own revenge against Rout Infinite can never evolve into a face-to-face confrontation with the night watchman, but only within them. Contradiction.
Edward must be trusted by the night watchman, at least he must not be excluded or even suspected, otherwise...
It will fall short!
"What do I need me to do?"
Edward slightly startled, but he didn't expect Loren to reach this point decisively.
But... isn’t this also the purpose of my trip?
"It's very simple. During this time, you have to be as high-profile as possible... It is best to often go in and out of crowded places, not to be too deliberate, but it is best to attract enough attention." Night watchman nodded:
"Then... we will choose another time, in the night watchman of Imperial Capital... especially before Rout Infinit really decides to start, let you use a more'high-profile' Leave Golovin in the same way."
"That’s why I want to discuss with you in this way...Apart from you and me, there can’t be a second person who knows the cause and course of things, it’s best Let them think that you are dead or even missing, so as to temporarily avoid the possibility of being detected by the night watchman."
"Loren, I need you to fake death once...Better, be killed by me in public! "
The moment he said this, Edward's expression was extremely complicated, staring at those dark eyes.
He knew how excessive and unreasonable his request was.
But... I must consider the worst possible.
Not only for Loren alone, but also for Eboden’s friends, as well as all those who are involved in him... Lut Infinit is definitely not a soft-hearted existence.
Facing such an opponent.
No matter how careful, cruel, cold-blooded...
It's never too much!
"so that's how it is...have you made up your mind?"
Little by little, Loren raised the corners of his mouth with a meaningful expression: "Edward, can I Think you are willing to accept my proposal?"
The indifferent night watchman, a trace of astonishment and tension flashed in his eyes.
But he recovered in just a second, sighed then said gently: "...even if it is."
"Things have turned into this look, should I still Is there a way out?"
The smiling black hair wizard nodded, with a little more determination in his eyes:
"Very good."
"That I believe you...I will give you an answer in three days, and then you will find a way to tell me the exact time."
"Yes." The night watchman is slightly nodded:
"Selan Kovo was arranged by me to retreat in a small sect hall, which was originally a stronghold of the night watchman...Although he may not be able to become a wizard again, at least he can slowly recover first."
"even more how... there is a bargaining chip in hand that can threaten you a little bit, and it can also appease the more and more impatient night watchman spies, so that they will not act without authorization."
"I believe You." Smiling Loren got up, moved towards the door of the living room.
The moment he pressed the doorknob, the night watchman’s voice suddenly came from behind:
"Be careful...Your Majesty Eckhardt II."
p>
At that moment, Loren froze.
"This is the information I obtained from the Vault of Heaven...On the night of Siscott Charn’s death, His Majesty the Emperor had already selected the next imperial chancellor, about one It will be officially announced in the next month."
"So, this is just my guess...Holy Cross Church's retreat, the old school aristocracy's compromise, the rise of the wizard Academy, and the battle between the two princes …Perhaps, everything was in his expectation."
"Maybe…He always sat in the sky palace, like an opera, looking down at us, full of ugliness;"
"Perhaps, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor who was once strong and dictatorial with great power..."
"Still holding his scepter tightly!"
