In the dim night, the "Grilled Fish Hotel" was as old and deserted as ever, and it seemed that nothing had changed. However, Fernando no longer dared to get close. After leaving a secret mark at the agreed location, he turned into a nearby slum and hid under a leafy tree.
On top of the big tree, he quietly looked down at the dilapidated houses below.
When the silver moon rose to its highest point, a figure stepped on the clear light all over the ground and quickly approached the broken house.
After carefully checking that no one was following, Fernando floated down from the tree and said in a low voice: "Old man, you are not dead yet!"
"You are dead and I am still alive!" This figure is clearly Old Green.
In accordance with President Arnold's order, he continued to stay at the "Grilled Fish Hotel" and was responsible for contacting "Dark Blue Gift" Sharp, but he no longer participated in the relay liaison between the union magicians.
Fernando snorted and turned to the topic: "Old man, tell Sharp that we have decided to take over the mission and assassinate Alfonso. We hope he can provide all information about Alfonso."
"What? Did you really decide to assassinate Alfonso? Did you infect the president with madness?" Old Green was extremely surprised. In his opinion, this kind of thing was completely irritating the church and had no chance of success. On the contrary,
It’s easy to hook up with the entire union!
Fernando gave Old Green a mocking look: "A coward cannot understand the meaning of adventure."
"It seems somewhat certain." Old Green lived for nearly two hundred years, and his vision and knowledge were extraordinary. He noticed the change in the problem just from Fernando's ridicule.
"Cowards are really sensitive." Fernando does not have the noble character of respecting the elderly and caring for the young. His main characteristic is his arrogance, but he is also a magician who has come out of death and blood, and has experienced countless dangers.
, so I will not forget to remind Old Green. "Don't let Sharp know that we are somewhat sure."
He emphasized the word "somewhat", and even when facing Old Green, he did not tell the whole truth.
Old Green sneered: "Am I a reckless person like you? But why would you ask Sharp to provide information? Aren't you afraid that he will deliberately frame you or secretly inform the church?"
"When we lure Alfonso out, Sharp will definitely notice that we have accepted the 'mission' and start taking action. If he will inform the church, it will be fine at that time, so it is better to give him a little trust now. This is the basis for cooperation.
. And it can also save time in collecting intelligence." At first, Fernando himself had been struggling with this. Because President Arnold and Douglas both said there was no problem, he decided to come. However, after thinking carefully, he vaguely grasped the idea.
The key point is just not as sure as the old fox.
Maybe the old fox is hiding something else, so he believes in Sharp's sincerity in cooperation?
Old Green nodded: "Sharp has been staying at the Grilled Fish Hotel for the past two days, as if he is waiting for your reply. I will convey your words to him now."
"By the way, there are also these mathematical books and notes that Douglas and I gave to Hathaway." Fernando handed a dozen black-covered books to Old Green.
"Do you really want Hathaway to embark on the dangerous path of magic?" Old Green has always disagreed with this because of Hathaway's father.
Fernando smiled and said: "Hey. Can we force this kind of thing? Old man, let go of your worries. Before you die, it's time to find a lady and have a child of your own. Don't give up your extra love.
On people who don’t need it.”
He hid his mild concern in ridicule.
Old Green was silent at first, and then sighed longly: "I remember when you first arrived at the Magic Tower, you were such a cute kid, full of energy, stubborn and refined. You would secretly cry when you were taught by your teacher.
,When did your mouth become so smelly?"
The revelation of the dark history made Fernando's face flush red, and his eyes quickly brewed a terrifying "storm", but before he roared, Old Green had already disappeared into the darkness. He returned to the "Grilled Fish Hotel".
"Damn old guy!" In the end, Fernando could only curse in a very low voice for fear of alarming the people nearby.
About ten minutes later, Old Green returned and said seriously to Fernando: "Sharp promised to provide Alfonso's information and will hand it over to you at this time tomorrow."
"How did he react when he knew we accepted the mission? How did his expression and breath change?" Fernando asked cautiously.
How could Old Green not pay attention to these details? He didn't need to think about it anymore and answered directly: "A little surprised, then he kept a relaxed and comfortable smile, um, and even cursed, 'Arrogant and arrogant mouse who doesn't know how weak his own power is.
, let’s see how you die!’”
Fernando mentally sketched the scene several times, but found nothing unusual about Sharp, so he nodded gently: "Tomorrow I will hide in the hotel and secretly observe the process of him giving you the information."
At this time, the more careful the better, Fernando is not an inexperienced young man.
"By the way, here is Hathaway's letter to you and Douglas. It should have been written two days ago. Sharp has been carrying it with him." Old Green took out a thick letter from his arms.
"A letter to us? What will she write?" Fernando couldn't believe that he and Douglas had established a deep friendship with Hathaway in just two encounters, so he was quite shocked.
After checking it with magic, he carefully unfolded it and saw that the handwriting on the letter was beautiful and elegant, but except for the copied math and science questions, there was not a single extra word!
"Haha..." In response, Fernando could only laugh dryly.
…………
On the second day, before the sun set, Fernando sneaked into the "Grilled Fish Hotel" and hid in the kitchen behind the bar.
About an hour after dinner time, Sharp, who seemed to have a tumor on the bridge of his nose, came alone and threw a stack of wrinkled paper to Old Green: "All the details I can understand are on it."
He is no stranger to assassinations and knows what information is useful. After all, when the Church of Truth first emerged, it was common for knights to cooperate with clergy to assassinate magicians.
Seeing Old Green looking at him without saying a word, he snorted heavily: "If you doubt the authenticity of the information, go and verify it yourself. I'm just a customer. Not a servant."
After saying that, he held out his hand: "Where's the letter?"
"What letter?" Old Green was stunned for a moment.
"Reply to Hathaway, the possibility of their operation failing is very high. If there is no reply in the past few days, I'm afraid there will be no reply forever." Sharp still looked down on the strength of Fernando and others. Fernando, who was so angry that he peeked in the kitchen, secretly shook his head.
Clenched his fists.
Old Green took out a letter filled with answers and handed it to Sharp solemnly: "Do you really want to assassinate Alfonso?"
He was keenly aware of the eagerness and deliberate indifference in Sharp's attitude. This was a tacit understanding of years of cooperation that Fernando could not see at all.
"What do you think?" Sharp didn't answer directly, he asked with a relaxed smile, and then took out another letter from his arms. "This is Hathaway's doubts after studying yesterday."
Fernando could guess what type of content it contained without even looking.
When Sharp drank a glass of strong wine and ate a piece of grilled fish, and was about to leave, he suddenly smiled at the kitchen wall and winked.
"He found me..." After a while, Fernando walked out of the kitchen and looked at the dark place where Sharp's back disappeared.
Old Green chuckled and said: "When we went on adventures in the past, he was always the best at discovering lurkers. Maybe he has some special skills. I forgot to remind you."
Fernando had no time to yell at him and carefully read the information provided by Sharp.
…………
"According to the information provided by Sharp and other intelligence evidence, it can be seen that Alfonso is a very tough person who hates magicians. He is cruel enough to be called cruel. He is good at fighting and has taken the initiative to pursue many cases.
He has a very unfriendly attitude towards the nobles, and it was because of the great conflict with the Violet family that he was sent to us by the Pope..." Two days later, in the ruins at the bottom of the lake, Fernando briefly described Arnold to President Arnold.
Fang Suo's situation.
Apart from the two of them, Douglas was the only one in the heavily protected secret room. Ramon and Veronica, who did not participate, were excluded based on confidentiality.
Arnold flipped through the information and listened to Fernando's story. He finally nodded and said: "This is very valuable information. Actions should start in the next two days. Don't go out and adjust your condition. Wait for me.
information."
"Well, we haven't found any problems with Sharp for the time being." Fernando has been quietly observing and following Sharp for the past two days, and he is proud that he has not been discovered.
In the next two days, Douglas and Fernando, like other magicians, exchanged magic and exchanged items with others at the ruins at the bottom of the lake. They did not look like they were about to participate in major actions. However, in their free time, they did not discuss the extremely energy-consuming and
It's a matter of concentration and staying ready to fight immediately.
Just after early morning on the third day, Fernando and Douglas obtained Arnold's order through "wind communication" and quietly left the ruins and entered the nearby black forest.
"The president is here." Douglas discovered Arnold's trace one step ahead of Fernando.
As soon as he finished speaking, the white-haired Arnold walked out of the darkness with a serious expression, no longer the usual smiling look: "Alfonso has left London with at least seven high-level cardinals and paladins.
Tate, did not seek the cooperation of the nobles."
Douglas nodded first, then his face suddenly changed slightly: "Who is this?"
Only then did he realize that in the shadow next to Arnold was a man shrouded in a black cloak. There was a faint black mist around him, and he was filled with deathly aura. Two red lights came out from under the hood, and he was holding a long, long sword in his hand.
scythe, I didn’t even sense his presence before!
Fernando was even more surprised. It was not until Douglas reminded him that he discovered this mysterious man with a strong sense of death!
"My undead servant is equivalent to a ninth-level extraordinary creature. It is best at hiding. To be honest, I have rarely used it before. Almost no one in the union knows about it. But this operation is very important. I can only use my trump card first.
Take it out and try to kill Alfonso with one blow..." Arnold lost his seriousness and introduced with a smile, while telling Douglas how to cooperate with him and the undead servant to attack.
Douglas and Fernando nodded in relief, deeply approving of the president's all-out efforts.
"Then let's set off to Sherwell County in the north." Arnold looked towards the north.
