Under the glorious appearance of the empire, there are surging shadows.

And beneath this shadow, countless people are taking action.

Countless black shadows shuttled through the imperial capital at night, like a group of geckos... or spiders, secretly tracking all traces of Lu En's past.

They were wary of their surroundings and were well hidden. Even if they looked carefully, it was impossible to see that there was actually anyone inside.

Their heartbeat rate is extremely low... their breathing is so light that breathing against the glass will not leave traces. The heartbeat is reduced to a maximum of six beats a minute. This is the minimum requirement for these people to maintain their consciousness.

Then, he quietly put his body on the ground, lurked in the shadows of the park, and crawled towards the source of the smell.

But the next second, these people stopped silently.

As always, there was no heartbeat and no breathing.

However, this time it's gone forever.

A figure passed by in the sky. Under the bright moonlight, Kara sat on the top of a tall building and looked at her fingers. This was actually the result of advanced transformation. The original appearance was manic and violent claws, covered with

It has no scars and scales, instead of being as soft, smooth, and weak as it is now, which makes the dragon sick.

She didn't care about the people who died at all, it was not important to her at all, she just completed her master's mission.

What Kara has to do is very simple, that is, clean up all the sneaky people.

This is very easy for her, because no one would have the luxury to use level 9 as a spy or to do such chores. Generally speaking, level 9 is already at the level of the supreme elder of a large organization.

Those so-called professional guilds, such as the giant local snake adventurers guild with influence all over the empire, have branches in every city. They have countless adventurer teams under their command, and even dozens of large mercenary groups. They are known to have many powerful people.

Such a large force is actually only a level 9, and it is very old and old. Its combat power has dropped severely compared to its heyday, but it is still the biggest support of the entire organization. Tens of millions of people regard it as the sun, and they look up to it.

The kind that I dare not look directly at.

Level 9, in the outside world, is an existence that can only be heard in myths and epics.

In the entire empire, I am afraid that only Lu En has the luxury to use level 9 to do such a thing. Maybe the emperor can do it, but the emperor will not be willing to waste manpower on such a thing.

There is no corresponding level 9 to deal with it, these well-trained spies are just here to die.

"Alas." She sighed, looking up at the moon in the sky.

The bright moonlight shone diagonally towards the world, shining on her beautiful face, and then streaked across her skin, wanting to continue to shine towards the imperial capital further below.

But before it could reach it, the lights, fires, noisy voices, drinking parties, dances, and the city that rejoiced all night long dispersed the moonlight.

The bustling human fireworks and lights all over the city block out the cold moonlight. Although the high moon in the sky is beautiful, it is always too cold and cannot get along with the human world full of fireworks.

Just like Kara.

However, suddenly, Kara stood up on the top of the building, looked behind her, her arms transformed into dragons, her eyes turned into vertical pupils, she was fully focused, ready to fight at any time.

somebody is coming.

"I'm afraid it wouldn't be a good idea for a strong man like you to personally clean up these people, right? Soldiers versus soldiers, adversaries against generals, kings against kings, this is the only reasonable thing." A man appeared from the darkness and looked at

To Kara.

"Purpose, purpose." Kara said concisely and concisely without listening to what he said.

If you can't tell, or the answer makes Kara unhappy, then be ready to take action.

"Stop, stop, stop. The Imperial Capital is not a place where you can do anything casually. Just kill some bugs and don't make any noise. If we do something, it will bring you a lot of trouble, your Earl.

Yes, by the way, I haven’t introduced myself yet, have I? I am the consultant of the Trela ​​family. To be precise, I am the person who gets paid to do things. You can call me..."

"Purpose!" Kara interrupted him, her tone already a little impatient.

But despite the way she usually stays around Lu En, she can even be seen as shy and cute, as if she has a cold face and a warm heart...

But when you leave Lu En, you will find out how difficult she is to get along with. She really kills without batting an eyelid and has no patience at all.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, don't be angry. My purpose is very simple. We will stop these useless actions, but I also want you to stop the indiscriminate killing. It's very simple, isn't it?" The man quickly spoke faster.

"As long as you don't appear in front of me." Kara sat back, turned her back to the other person, and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

"That's good, that's good. These people are not cheap~. If you die again, I will bear the blame. Now that the matter is settled, I will leave first. Goodbye." After the man finished speaking, his body suddenly merged into the darkness.

.

It's not disappearing, it's a true integration, and it's not something like sinking into the shadows. It's really that the whole person turns black. When you walk into the darkness, you can't see. It's very hip.

But Kara didn't feel happy, because after walking in, she couldn't feel any breath, it didn't exist at all.

She could hear footsteps, the other party's heartbeat, and breathing, but... she couldn't feel any breath. She had no doubt that the other party could easily hide such things as heartbeat and breathing, as well as not making any footsteps.

Even she can do it, let alone him.

"Anonymous 9? Or something else..." Kara said halfway when she suddenly realized that the other party had completely left her hearing range, and at the same time, all memories about this man were disappearing rapidly.

She bit her tongue to remind herself that this happened, and at the same time switched her skill to "Record 3". Before the memory disappeared, she quickly carved out all the events and conversations on the stone building materials on the roof with dragon claws.

.

But when the memory completely disappeared, her hand that was writing suddenly stopped.

"What am I...doing?" She suddenly couldn't remember. At the same time, she raised her head to see what she was writing.

I looked up and saw that there was nothing written...?

The stone was smooth and clean, as if it had been swept.

Can't remember anything.

"..." Kara's expression was not very good. She could remember that she had forgotten something, and she also remembered that someone had communicated with her and reached an agreement about her killing the spy.

But I can't remember what happened, and I don't understand what the situation is.

However, she can also understand that this is because her "conceptual essence" is strong enough. In other words, her level is high enough, which is more important to the universe. Therefore, the resistance to certain conceptual effects is

More powerful.

"Stealth 9, or similar skills? The concept of hiding oneself? However, it can hide everything related to oneself, but when interacting with other level 9s, some traces left by the other party will still interact with me, so

I haven't completely forgotten it, but this should be what the other party expected." Kara put away her dragon form, returned to her human form, and murmured to herself in a low voice.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as there are fewer bugs on the ground, that will be enough.

She continued to sit on the tall building, seemingly doing nothing, but the perceptions brought by the Inspiration 3, Detective 3 and Listening 3 alliances spread throughout most of the imperial capital. In addition to the tightly protected noble residences, various chambers of commerce buildings and the royal palace,

Nothing escapes her feeling.

However, for ordinary people, she can see everything in the imperial capital.

Everyone’s joys and sorrows.

"Mom, why don't you go home every night?" the little child asked her mother who was weaving at home during the day.

The mother did not answer, but just touched the thick clothes on the child so that he would not be cold.

The workers who are still working at night are guarding many tools all night long, processing parts or other things non-stop. Some are barrel hoops, some are farm tools, and some are tableware. This may be a batch of urgent work.

Normally, they would not work all night, because if they don’t sleep, they may be exhausted and lose focus. Once injured, medical expenses will be a huge expense for them.

Because of this incident, one of his hammers knocked on the barrel hoop was crooked and hit his companion who was fixing the iron bars with pliers. As he screamed in pain, the man fell to the ground and was quickly dragged down and replaced by another one.

one person.

The construction period cannot be delayed, and there is no time to comfort at this time. To the workshop owner, they are no different from a damaged hammer. They are all costs. If you dare to delay things, then you will die.

In a sturdy house, a pair of people who seemed to be father and daughter were quarreling. They were not so luxuriously dressed, but they were also very sturdy, and it was obvious that they were not poor.

"You have no control over what I do!"

"You are ruining your future! I will never allow you to move to Apidou! If you insist on going, then don't take my money!"

"If you don't want it, don't! There is my lover and my companion over there!"

What are they quarreling over? What's the story behind it? It doesn't matter, young people will always fight with old people

On the corner of a dark back street, there were two children.

A little girl was dressed luxuriously, but her clothes were extremely dirty and looked like they hadn't been washed for a long time.

"Well, yes, I'm sorry. If you don't like it, then just stop eating, okay? Don't cry." The little boy was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. His clothes were in tatters and his face was dusty.

He looks like a beggar.

He hurriedly put the cold bread behind his back and wanted to reach out to wipe her tears, but he was afraid that the bread would fall to the ground and be wasted.

Maybe the middle management of a large chamber of commerce failed in the struggle and the family was ruined. That's why the little girl wore luxurious clothes, but was dirty and couldn't afford to eat.

I don’t know where that boy’s kindness comes from. He obviously doesn’t have enough to eat, and he still wants to comfort others. How can the little girl eat his cold black bread when she has been living in fine clothes since she was a child?

She could also see city announcements announcing that the imperial capital would stop the original subsidies for disabled soldiers because of the recent high food prices, which would slowly decrease in the past three months and then be completely stopped.

Scholarships for poor students will be reduced because after the death of the great mentor, the scholarship foundation established by him has fallen apart and will no longer receive donations. I hope that all talented poor students will do a good job in saving in time, and do not forget to pay taxes.

Otherwise, you may lose your temporary residence in the imperial capital.

At the same time, there is a commendation order next to it, commending Baron Palen for donating six hundred gold coins to the cathedral. God has forgiven his sins and he is a devout believer.

It is normal that when local finances are stretched thin, they never choose to save money from the places where it is least needed, but from the people who are easiest to bully.
