"Mr. Sivens, I have done everything you asked me to do. I wonder... whether what you promised can be fulfilled quickly?" In the dim room, a casually dressed middle-aged man was looking at the man sitting on the chair.
Lennon Sivens, and said in a threatening and questioning tone.
His name is Gazo Baier. He was once the underground king of Salius City, but now he has become a subordinate of Lennon Sivens.
"Please pay attention to your tone, Mr. Beyer, you are not facing a kind gentleman now, but an executioner who kills without blinking an eye." Lennon shook his head gently and took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand.
, replied in a calm tone, "Do you think that successfully being promoted to the fourth level will give you the capital to be arrogant with me? Is it possible that you, the former underground king, don't even have this ability to judge?"
"Indeed, just a day ago, I could only succumb to you, the abominable bastard, and you, the lackey of the church!" Gazo Baier showed his fierce look, took out a short knife from his waist, and stabbed him without any hesitation.
To Lennon Sivans.
At the same time, a seemingly invisible black mist sprang out from Gazo Baier's sleeves, and came into contact with Lennon Sivens before him.
"No wonder, it turned out that there was someone else helping me, the Soul Shepherd, isn't it interesting..." Lennon stood up unhurriedly, blending into the surrounding shadows the moment the black mist touched his body.
"If I hadn't prepared in advance today, maybe you really would have succeeded..." A few seconds later, Lennon appeared behind Beyer, and as he spoke, he put his right hand on the other person's neck.
Bayer subconsciously wanted to break free, but even if he used his supernatural powers, he couldn't do it.
According to common sense, as a "fighter" who is also in the fourth class, he should have more advantages than an "assassin" in hand-to-hand combat, but at this moment it is completely the opposite.
This is the special thing about God's favored ones.
"Wait, Mr. Sivens, we can talk some more..." Byer's pupils dilated slightly, and he blurted out words of begging for mercy, while the black mist not far away dissipated silently at this moment.
"Talk, what are we talking about? Your value has been completely hollowed out. I even know how you were promoted to the fourth level and who is the person who ordered you to come here. Tell me, what else can we talk about?
?" Lennon chuckled and shook his head, then cut off the underground king's head in the frightened eyes.
"Tch, did you escape... This guy made such a big deal, is it possible that he noticed something?" Lennon casually threw away the items in his hands, sat back on his seat, and frowned slightly.
"However, since he has found Gazo Baier again, he should have discovered the connection between me and the church... Humph, so what, is it possible that you, the warden, have to flee Salius directly?
?That would be easier to do." Lennon's brows widened, and then he turned around, picked up a pen and started writing a letter.
"Your Excellency, I have taken care of the matters related to the underground world. The next step will be to deal with those six people. I have also obtained their information. I am just waiting..."
…
Lacasse Prison, inside Scola's office.
"Huh, there are so many things to do tonight..." Scola stood up from his seat and stretched his muscles.
After communicating with Morsis and Adili, he sent another soul to contact Gazo Baier and asked him to prepare for action.
Beyer has always been one of his collaborators. After Morse told him the relevant information about Lennon, he immediately promoted the underground king to the fourth level and gave him this task.
On the one hand, this can test the opponent, on the other hand, it can also better hide the existence of Morses.
"This is equivalent to telling the other party that my source of information is actually Gazo Beyer, not some second-class scholar..." Scola shook his head and muttered to himself.
He turned off the light casually. Due to the continuous driving of souls, even a fifth-level man fell into a state of mental exhaustion and was in urgent need of sleep to replenish his energy.
"If you don't meet my expectations, I will kill you..." Scola chuckled secretly before closing his eyes and muttered to himself.
…
"Mr. Kelvis, this is today's newspaper." A passing servant handed a newspaper he had just bought to Morse who was enjoying breakfast.
"Um, thank you, why did you suddenly give me the newspaper today?" Morse put down his knife and fork, took the newspaper, and asked doubtfully.
"Miss Adili asked me to bring it to you. She said you might want to see this." The servant said respectfully, and then withdrew.
Morsis frowned, muttered, then unfolded the newspaper and started reading.
"The number of thugs in the city increased suddenly, and they threatened to rebel against the aristocracy...
"Earl Kerr's mansion was attacked by thugs last night. Mr. Kerr was not harmed and the situation was under control.
"Member Cassini disappeared last night, and the police expressed their unwillingness to disclose relevant details..."
Morse put down the newspaper and his expression became more serious.
He has a very good memory, so he still remembers the names of the two important people mentioned in the newspaper.
They were all once included on a list by Lennon Sivans.
"It seems that the transcendental ones who participated in the rally were quite efficient." Morses sighed and stood up immediately.
This means that Lennon Sivans and the forces behind him have already taken action.
"These guys want to complete a major purge. The church's appetite is really big. I don't know how many people's interests will be touched... No, Scola said that he has basically mastered the entire Salius City.
The chain of interests, so as long as he is destroyed as the center, everything will become very simple." Morsis sighed, and he vaguely felt that he had guessed the church's thoughts.
In other cities, it is not easy to complete such a purge, and the various things involved cannot be solved by killing alone.
But in Salius, in this city that has long been secretly integrated, it is actually very simple.
"Combined with what Scola said before, it seems very likely that even his being sent to Salius was calculated... No wonder he was willing to give up everything and escape from here." For a moment, Morses even
He felt a little sympathetic to Scola, but he quickly dismissed this dangerous emotion from his mind.
"That guy is a poisonous snake, a ruthless bastard with a bad personality who only cares about gains and losses. It would be better to sympathize with him than to sympathize with the firewood in the fireplace!" Morsis muttered to himself, and then walked out of the restaurant.
After walking through the corridor, turning the corner, and walking into the familiar courtyard, Morses stopped where he was.
"Good morning, Kervis!" Adili sat on the chair in the corner as usual. The only difference was that she came a little early today.
"Good morning, is it so early today?" Morriss smiled bitterly, walked in, and sat down in his seat.
"That's for sure. There are a lot of things we can look forward to today. For example, the attack spells you promised to teach me, and for example..." As she spoke, Adili stood up and came step by step.
Morses came closer, put his hands on his hips, looked at him condescendingly, and said with a smile, "Your story."
"About last night..." Morsis laughed dryly and was about to say something, but was interrupted again.
"Okay, so what if you are a wanted criminal? Sometimes, we can't decide our own destiny, right?" Adili turned around and chuckled, "Do what you should do first, and we'll do it together.
We’ll talk again.”
Morsis was stunned for a while, and then he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said softly, "Thank you..."
…
"Well, that's basically it. The old man used phase travel to send me out, and then I met Scola, um... that's the guy you saw last night." Morses ended his story and said lightly
He laughed and continued, "I didn't expect that it would be so easy to say these words that I had been holding in my heart."
He remembered the first day Adili met him, when Adili had said similar words, but it was only now that he truly felt that feeling.
"Then... isn't Scola one of the murderers who caused you to end up like this?" Adili thought for a while and said.
"Yes, I hate him, but I don't hate him... The person who planned everything and executed everything was Lennon Sivens. That guy just used this matter to gain benefits." Morse lowered his head.
, said to himself, "He asked Leka Winter and the Shrine to intervene in that matter, and the old man was able to save his next life... Although he was the mastermind behind it, after I calmed down, I understood his intention.
"Scola is a ruthless bastard who only cares about profit and loss. He saw an opportunity in Lennon's plan, so he gave me some help.
"So, he and I are collaborators, and the only thing that connects us is interest. I need to use his hand to rescue the old man, and he needs to use my hand to get the treasure, that's all."
Adili nodded in understanding and said thoughtfully, "Obviously, your relationship is very complicated... but have you ever thought about what would happen to you if he got the treasure?"
Morses was stunned in place. Indeed, he had thought about this problem. If everything went well, they rescued Krabi and successfully went to sea to find the treasure.
And after that?
Will Scola, a profit-oriented guy, kill him and take possession of all the treasures?
Even if he gives up his interests and lets the other party get everything, will Scola get rid of him in order to cover up himself?
These are all unknowns!
"I don't know. Indeed, all the goodwill shown by Scola so far has a purpose, but..." Morsis sighed and continued, "But I have no choice, I can only believe in this poisonous snake."
, and there is no way back..."
Adili glanced at Morsis with a complicated expression, and the courtyard became quiet.
After a long time, Morsis stood up and chuckled, "Maybe I would have been worried before, but I have figured it out now...
"It's better to seize the moment. I don't believe that Morse Creevey will be a person without a 'future'!"
When Adili heard this, she also smiled and said softly, "Of course, don't forget, you are Kervis (Durren: future)."
