When Hofcrow started speaking, his eyes never left Jason.
The advisor to King Siwok VII said as he quietly looked at Jason.
He hoped to see more emotions from Jason's face, and then use this as a breakthrough.
However, what disappointed the advisor of King Siwok VII was that Jason remained calm from beginning to end, without any shock or even the slightest surprise.
"I swear what I said is true!"
The advisor to King Siwok VII subconsciously emphasized.
He thought it was Jason who didn't believe him.
Then, the consultant added.
"I swear to the real spirit!"
As he said that, the other party made a ritual gesture of swearing to the true spirit.
Jason remained indifferent to this.
Jason wasn't surprised that 'Shepherd' was on Terte.
Although the other party is being [hunted] by his teacher ‘Dan’, it is not the first time that the other party has escaped such [hunting]. It is obvious that the other party has a way to temporarily get rid of his teacher ‘Dan’.
Having had the experience of the other party appearing in front of him, Jason was very sure of this.
As for the other party knowing that he was promoted to the fifth level of ‘Night Watchman’?
This is also not a difficult thing.
In this world full of 'mysteries', it is very difficult to hide some secrets. Moreover, he did not hide it in the true sense. He did it in front of Morton, the four sisters Erin, Sid, Alpa, etc.
The person's face is directly displayed.
Perhaps only Morton thought of something at the time, but others would also think of it afterwards.
Then, with Sid and Elpa's character, she probably wouldn't talk near Terte under Morton's strict orders.
But what about people who live far away from Terte?
For example, what about your friends?
For example, what about your own teacher?
Write a letter and let them know.
And they were told that this was a secret and not to be told to others.
Then, these people will abide by this rule and when telling their friends, they will tell these friends, 'This is a secret, don't tell others!'
Then, this regulation was retained.
The secret is no longer a secret.
But it is a well-known thing.
And the 'shepherd' wants to attack him?
That is even more obvious.
There is no doubt that both sides have grudges.
Moreover, the other party seemed to have misunderstood something about him, thinking that he had really taken the 'Herc's Potion'.
Of course, this is the result Jason has always wanted.
After adding the two together, it would be strange if the other party didn't attack him.
After all, being [Hunted] by a Level 5 Night Watchman and being [Hunted] by two Level 5 Night Watchmen are completely different concepts.
After understanding this, Jason was not surprised at all by Hofcrow's words.
Because, Jason understood better why Hofcrow said that.
Nothing more than shocking, or preferably frightening, him.
Then?
Naturally, I want to take the initiative in this conversation.
Jason would never allow such a thing to happen.
Therefore, Jason not only remained unmoved, but also stared at Hofcrow so indifferently, especially Hofcrow's hairline.
Although the other party's appearance is neat and tidy, his hair is also taken care of meticulously.
But it is precisely because of this kind of care that the other person's hairline appears to be moving further back.
It is obvious that this advisor to King Siwok VII is a person who attaches great importance to his appearance, but the more such a person is, the more he will pay attention to his own shortcomings.
The receding hairline is naturally one of them.
Soon, Hofcrow felt uncomfortable under Jason's gaze.
If it had been anyone else, Hofcrow would have broken the other person's legs.
Can you face Jason?
He cannot do this.
He could only twist his body and speak again.
"Sir Jason, please introduce yourself."
"I am Hofkro, originally from that 'organization'. If you really inherited Telkan's legacy, then you must be familiar with this 'organization'."
"I'm from the same place as Turkan."
"Of course, I can't even name him."
Hofcrow said.
Jason nodded and motioned for the other party to continue.
"This 'organization' was established during the Walker III period. Its original purpose was just a salon-like gathering and communication. However, as time went by and more people joined, this 'organization' changed its original purpose."
"It becomes mysterious, powerful, and... has many rules."
"Therefore, I, Terkang and the first batch of old people couldn't stand such rules and chose to leave."
Speaking of this, Hoffcrow's face that had always remained calm showed anger.
The advisor to King Siwok VII paused for a second and then spoke as calmly as possible.
"But we were deceived."
"These so-called rules are designed to target us!"
"They kicked us away and then started their own plan."
"Similarly, we will never give up. We have also established a new 'organization' to start taking back everything that belongs to us."
"Telkan?"
"He is not a member of the new 'organization'."
"In fact, many old people are unwilling to turn against the 'organization' because they know how powerful the 'organization' is, and Telkan is just one of them."
"But the new 'organization' was still established, and it has been fighting openly and covertly with the old 'organization' for decades without falling behind."
"Because we found that the old 'organization' was not monolithic in the true sense."
"Many of them also have their own plans."
"And this is our chance!"
Hofcrow emphasized his tone.
Not only did he get emotional, but he also hoped to attract Jason's attention.
But what disappointed the advisor of King Siwok VII was that Jason was sitting opposite him.
As before, there are no unnecessary emotions.
"Sir Jason, aren't you curious?"
"Aren't you curious about the so-called plan?"
"Aren't you curious about the overt and covert struggles between the two organizations?"
Hofcrow asked.
"Why be curious, isn't everything obvious?"
Jason asked rhetorically.
"Obvious?"
Hoffcrow was puzzled.
"You are the advisor to King Siwok VII. You have been in tit-for-tat with Prince Ruitai. Prince Ruitai was an unknown person except for his royal status more than ten years ago. However, in the past ten years, he has not only become a
A 'professional', or a double 'professional', and having a giant dragon as a mount, isn't this obvious enough?"
"The old 'organization' chose Prince Shwetai."
"The new 'organization' chose Siwok VII."
"As for the plan?"
"'Origin', right?"
Jason asked softly.
The shocked look on Hoffcrow's face was enough to prove that he was right.
The advisor to King Siwok VII looked at Jason with surprise in his eyes.
Not only because Jason guessed the ‘client’ that the two organizations were optimistic about, but also because of the ‘source point’.
Turcon!
It's Telkan!
Turkan must have told Jason!
In an instant, the advisor to King Siwok VII became filled with resentment.
Because, he knew that his final advantage was gone.
Jason already knew everything from Turkan, so he naturally didn't need him to answer questions.
Thinking of this, Hofkro was a little frustrated.
However, Hofklo soon became in high spirits again.
The more you know, the better!
The more you know, the more you will understand the power of ‘organization’ and the importance of ‘cooperation’.
Thinking of this, Hofkro sighed lightly.
"Since Mr. Jason knows everything from Turkan, I won't say more. You should understand now what kind of situation you are in, right?"
Hofcrow asked.
Jason didn't correct the mistake in the other person's words, and just nodded along with the other person.
Hofklo said, minding his own business.
"Assassinate Siwok VII. They have wanted to do this more than once."
"But either we stopped it or our own people stopped each other."
"But this time, they succeeded."
"There is a traitor within our ranks."
"This traitor made them reach an agreement, at least temporarily. After the assassination was successful, the 'purge' of one's own side was obviously clearing the way and making final preparations for Prince Ruitai to ascend the throne.
"
"traitor?"
Jason asked, guessing already appearing in his heart.
"It's 'Shepherd'!"
Hofcrow confirmed Jason's suspicion.
"He was originally one of ours. He didn't join initially. He joined later. He showed extraordinary talent. Then, after completing several missions, he was fully trained by the organization."
"We hope to use his example to attract more people to join the organization."
"But he let us down."
When Hofcrow mentioned the 'shepherd', anger appeared on his face again.
Jason was noncommittal.
'Shepherd' may have betrayed Hofcrow's current organization.
But how good is Hofkro's current organization?
The answer is of course yes.
What kind of good thing can an organization composed of a group of "gravekeepers" be?
The two sides are most likely taking advantage of each other.
Then, the 'shepherd' just took a step faster.
Jason didn't care about this.
"Why did you come?"
After learning enough information, Jason asked straight to the point.
He doesn't have any more free time to spend with each other.
"A chance to turn defeat into victory!"
"A week later, Siwok VII's funeral is our only chance!"
"We want to summon the soul of Siwok VII and let him tell everyone the true face of Prince Reitai!"
"And this requires enough help!"
"As a fifth-level 'professional', you are our best ally against the enemy!"
Hofkro said his plan.
It's really our own plan, not his.
His plan is to escape.
As for your own plan?
A group of 'gravekeepers' began to talk about the evidence.
There was only ridicule left in Hofkro's heart.
He no longer has any hope in the current organization, and now he only cares about how to escape.
Naturally, this requires some 'covering up'.
And what could be more appropriate than the funeral of Siwok VII?
At that time, a war will definitely break out between the organization and the old organization.
Who would pay attention to a nobody like him?
Just change your appearance and hide in East Walker.
He can even run one or two chambers of commerce and hide behind the scenes.
Or simply run a cemetery.
When he thought of this, Hofkro said simply.
"We are willing to pay an equal price to ask you to attend this funeral."
"Can."
"I need at least three treasure-level secret arts props, or equivalent materials."
"besides……"
"The exact whereabouts of 'Shepherd'."
Jason nodded and gave the conditions.
It is understood that treasure-level props are props that are at least suitable for fifth-level 'professionals'.
If it is a special version, it will be stronger.
In Turcon's notes, Jason learned this.
Bringing it up at this time is naturally beyond the scope of what it should be.
If you ask a fifth-level 'professional' to take action, you won't need treasure-level props at all.
This is true even for dual careers.
However, Jason was asking for a lot of money.
What is waiting is for the other party to come down and pay back the money.
Anyway, no matter what, he will not lose.
However, what surprised Jason was that Hofcrow did not refuse directly.
"Treasure-level secret props are too rare. Even within the organization, there are not that many. However, there is no problem with the materials, but we don't have many 'Night Watcher', 'Grave Keeper' props and materials, and 'Knight' props."
There are some armor fragments, and there are also a lot of props and materials from other 'professionals'."
Hofcrow said.
Before coming, people in the organization had already decided to have a massive hemorrhage.
It's not his anyway, so there's nothing for him to feel bad about.
Of course, we still have to do what we should do.
According to Jason's previous plan, it would be enough to ask for a treasure-level secret technique item or materials of equal value.
I didn't expect the other party to agree so simply.
So why are you hesitating?
The other party handed over the knife.
Then of course he wanted to kill him with this knife.
"As long as it's a secret material."
"No occupation limit."
Jason said.
He is not picky about food, as long as it is food.
"That's no problem."
"As for the 'shepherd'..."
"We're sure he's in Terte, but where?"
"Not sure yet."
"However, when it comes to the funeral of King Siwok VII, he will definitely show up there with his most important thing."
Hofkro said confidently.
"what?"
Jason asked.
"'Herc's Potion'!"
The Gu of Siwok VII replied, and then he laughed like this: "The 'Shepherd' is extremely obsessed with the 'Herc's Potion' for some unknown reason."
“He purchased ‘Herc’s Potion’ at a large price more than once.”
"He even didn't hesitate to make arrangements for it."
"So, when a silver-level, unrefined 'Herc's Potion' appears, he will definitely appear."
"oh."
"So this is ah."
Jason nodded.
There is no doubt about what this advisor to King Siwok VII said.
When I met the 'Shepherd' before, he showed great interest in the 'Herc's Potion'.
Although he doesn't know why, this is good news for him.
Because, Jason discovered a way to turn passivity into initiative.
Instead of waiting for the funeral of Siwok VII.
It's better for him to take the initiative.
Therefore, the next moment
"There is one more prerequisite for our cooperation."
"Silver level 'Herc's Potion'!"
Jason added.
He really wanted to take the initiative, not to try the silver-level 'Herc's Potion'.
Hofcrow was stunned
However, immediately, the advisor to King Siwok VII smiled and nodded.
"no problem."
"Your request is very reasonable. I think the members of the organization will not refuse it."
With that said, the advisor to King Siwok VII stood up.
The other party is ready to leave.
Jason didn't stay either.
There is no such friendship between the two parties.
Watch the other person go away.
Jason didn't return to the basement again until he disappeared.
Tread, step.
Walk down the steps step by step.
His palm grasped the handle of the short-handled broad-bladed machete.
He looked at the uninvited guest standing in the middle of the basement with interest.
