"Forget it, let's put off the elixir business. Hei Lin, I have an idea. Do you think it's feasible?" Li Ling thought carefully for a while.
"What kind of thoughts?" Hei Lin looked at Li Ling strangely and asked.
Li Ling thought for a while and finally said: "How about we build a team? You see, there are some teams everywhere in Baiyun County. They form groups to hunt exotic beasts. They can get a lot of rare treasures. If we also
Once you build one, you can go to some dangerous places and hunt those strange beasts."
"Well, the idea is good, but we lack the qualifications. To form a group, the minimum strength requirement is the county sergeant level. If you don't have that level, don't think so." Hei Lin completely dismissed Li Ling's opinion.
"Why does it have to be a county scholar?" Li Ling asked doubtfully.
"Because only if you reach the county level, can you learn the art of flying. Only if you learn the art of flying, can you travel across thousands of kilometers, explore dangerous places, hunt exotic beasts and find treasures," said Hei Lin.
.
"Oh, that's it." Li Ling finally understood.
"Don't think about building a team now. The most important thing for us at the moment is to report in the dark night and enter the organization as early as possible so that we can get the task order early." Hei Lin said angrily. He always felt that Li Ling was too unorganized.
.
"Well, we will report tomorrow. What is the difference between the County's Dark Night Alliance and Yecheng's?" Li Ling agreed and asked.
"I don't know. Only if we find the informant left by the Dark Night Alliance outside tomorrow can he take us to the Dark Night Alliance's base." Hei Lin said.
The so-called informant is a type of work that collects information from the outside world and transfers it all to the inside. However, informants are generally better at disguising themselves. For example, some informants will pretend to be a small vendor, a coachman, etc.
.
Whenever a new member joins, the informant is also the person responsible for leading the way. It is the responsibility of these informants to bring the new member to the secret base of the Dark Night Alliance. It is such an informant that Li Ling and Hei Lin want to find at the moment.
Every day the streets were overcrowded. On this day, Li Ling, led by Hei Lin, was looking for informants nearby. Every few steps Hei Lin took, he would make a strange gesture. Li Ling could tell. That gesture was
signal.
After walking through a few streets, Li Ling and Hei Lin vaguely felt that someone was following them. Hei Lin glanced at Li Ling and headed towards a sparsely populated place.
In a sparsely populated alley, the vendor selling candied haws of sugar also followed in.
Hei Lin grabbed the opponent's shoulder with one hand. The man was startled and immediately made a bow-tie gesture. Hei Lin immediately let go of his hand and said, "Are you an informant of the Dark Night Alliance?"
"Yes." The merchant said.
"Oh...that's great. We are the personnel sent by the Dark Night Alliance from Yecheng. Take us to the base of the Dark Night Alliance to report." Hei Lin said.
The merchant held out a hand.
Heilin asked doubtfully: "What do you want to do?"
"Take out the command arrow and let me take a look. Before I take you to the Dark Night Alliance, I must confirm your identity first." The merchant was quite cautious.
This is human nature. People can talk nonsense, but Lingjian cannot. Lingjian was created by the Dark Night Alliance in a special way, and it is difficult for ordinary organizations to imitate it.
Hei Lin took out his command arrow and at the same time reached out to Li Ling for the command arrow. Li Ling also took out the command arrow from inside his sleeve. Hei Lin took Li Ling's command arrow and handed the two to the vendor together.
The merchant took the two black iron arrows from Hei Lin's hand, looked at them respectively, nodded and said: "Both of them are level two assassins, and they are my superiors. You two adults, follow me."
After the merchant handed the order arrow back to Hei Lin and Li Ling, he turned around and led the way.
Although there are a lot of people in Baiyun County during the day, the roads that vendors take are always very sparsely populated. It seems that the roads they take avoid a lot of people. Traveling on these small roads can lead to some relatively quiet places.
"We're here." The merchant was walking along a long canal in the city. There were many bridge openings in the long canal. In front of a bridge opening, the merchant jumped down. There was an empty shore below the bridge opening. This place was just right.
It blocks people's sight and is very well hidden.
Li Ling and Hei Lin both jumped down and followed the vendor. The vendor knocked the wall with the bamboo pole for selling candied haws, and there was a loud bang, and the wall opened in response.
Li Ling and Hei Lin were both surprised. They never expected that there would be such a mechanical stone gate under the bridge of the canal.
The vendor turned around and glanced at Li Ling and Hei Lin, beckoning them to enter the passage behind the stone door first. Then the vendor also entered the stone door and knocked on the inner wall. The stone door closed with a whoosh.
.
Suddenly, the three people's eyes fell into darkness. After a while, there was a snap, and a torch burned. The vendor held a torch in his hand and led the way.
Li Ling looked around. The walls here were very smooth and the passage was deep. He couldn't see the bottom. He didn't even know where this passage would lead.
In the passage, there was only the sound of the footsteps of three people. The passage was so quiet that you could even hear the sound of dripping water in the passage.
There is water in the passage. A large part of the reason may be that the passage is not ventilated all year round and the moisture inside is too heavy, so some water will seep out from the stone walls.
The ground under your feet is also relatively slippery, and you seem to be stepping on moss and the like with every step you take.
"Where will this passage lead?" Li Ling asked.
"The passage leading to the base of the Dark Night Alliance was built for the sake of concealment in the dark night. Only from this passage can we reach the base of the Dark Night Alliance. However, this is only limited to the dark night base in the ninth ring of the county.
"The vendor said in a deep voice.
The ninth ring of the county. It seems that there are nine level areas in the county, and I am in the outermost level area.
Under the leadership of the merchant, they finally arrived at the base of the Dark Night Alliance. After exiting the passage, the two of them saw a bright light. It turned out to be a completely enclosed courtyard. The courtyard covered at least one hundred acres and was surrounded by buildings.
A high wall separates it from the outside world. The wall is actually three feet high, which is incredible.
The vendor walked up to a man in black, bowed, and left through the passage. The man in black came over, clapped his hands and extended his hand to Li Ling: "You two are welcome to come and report.
It’s Xia Houjin, the person in charge of this area, a first-level killer.”
As a first-level assassin, Li Ling was slightly startled. His level was higher than his own. The person in charge outside the ninth ring of the county could actually reach this level.
"Hello." Li Ling and Xia Houjin held hands together.
After shaking hands with Li Ling, he shook hands with Hei Lin. After the polite exchanges, Xia Houjin led the two of them toward the interior. After passing the courtyard, there was a group of killers. Most of the cultivators in the venue were
Practice Qi.
When Li Ling and Hei Lin were brought into the Killer Hall, everyone couldn't help but look towards Hei Lin and Li Ling, wanting to see what kind of people the two new killers were.
?
"We usually have some people living here. If you two have houses outside, you don't need to live in the alliance." Xia Houjin said.
"We have our own residence outside, but we won't stay here." Li Ling was afraid that if Hei Lin said he wanted to stay, Li Ling would be depressed. Li Ling didn't want to be bored in this cage of confinement every day.
After opening the door to the Killer Palace, there were bookshelves one after another. The bookshelves were filled with information and materials about major killers. Xia Houjin walked to a higher bookshelf, took down a bamboo slip, and asked Li
Ling and Heilin stretched out their hands and said, "You two, give me the killer arrows to use. I will make a record."
"OK."
Li Ling and Hei Lin handed the command arrow into Xia Houjin's hands at the same time. Xia Houjin took the command arrow and said in slight shock: "I didn't expect that these two are actually second-level killers. You can't tell."
"Yes, he just assassinated a city lord and was promoted." Li Ling said with a smile.
Xia Houjin suddenly became even more surprised: "Both of you can complete such a difficult task." (To be continued...)
