As Jason shouted, a man walked out with his hands raised in the shadows formed by the trees and moonlight on the outer wall of the courtyard.
The other party was dressed up deliberately, with normal clothes and shoes, and his face was also modified. Not only was he wearing a fake beard, but he also wore a wig that could cover most of his face.
However, even so, Jason still recognized the other person at a glance.
Samon!
The official who previously succeeded Duke and took over Lord's 'mysterious side'.
We took the train with them to Terte.
He can be regarded as a staunch supporter of ‘Siwok VII’.
Of course!
To them, the other person is not considered a friend.
"Samen?!"
"How dare you show up here?!"
Taniel also recognized Salmen, and anger immediately appeared on his face.
This teacher at Deer Academy and the second advisor of the Lord Police Department has only found three things that he cannot accept in his more than 20 years of life.
First, the death of the old knight.
Second, that "looking up at the stars" that I never want to recall.
The third is Salmon’s understatement of ‘betrayal’.
Without hesitation, Taniel took out the revolver he carried with him.
Facing the gun, Salmen, who was in disguise, looked very calm.
In fact, when he decided to come here, he had completely disregarded life and death.
"Sorry, Taniel."
"I can't say the words to forgive you."
"I'm not that thick-skinned yet."
"However, there is one thing I must tell Sir Jason."
After Salmen finished speaking, he looked at Jason.
There was prayer and expectation in his eyes.
"I promise you won't regret hearing this."
Salmon emphasized.
"No regrets?"
"You don't regret it, right?"
"Aren't you desperate when you show up here? That's why you come to try your luck?"
Taniel sneered and exposed the trick in the other party's words.
Taniel may not be a very smart person, but he's not stupid either.
Have a basic grasp of the environment you are in and what has happened recently.
Salmon is a staunch royalist.
There is no doubt about this.
So, with the death of 'Siwok VII', Salmon naturally became a bereaved dog.
In the capital Terte, there is no longer any place for the other party.
He might even be hunted down.
Taniel, who was once a semi-official member of the "Mysterious Side", knew very well that the habits of these so-called "Mysterious Side" officials were definitely not friendly.
Offending some people is almost certain.
In normal times, of course, there is no need to be afraid.
But at this time?
hehe.
Seeing that Salmen looked embarrassed even though he was disguised, Taniel sneered.
Just like what he just said.
The other party is here to try their luck.
It's like a drowning man who finds a straw.
No matter what the outcome is, grab it!
Tanier was very certain.
Because of this, I became even more disdainful.
Samon remained silent.
It seems that Taniel was right.
About two seconds later, the former official head of Lord's "Mysterious Side" said to Jason: "I want to talk to you alone."
Faced with such words, Taniel smiled.
And Jason?
Get up and walk towards the kitchen.
With the situation in front of us, do we still need to make a choice?
One is a good friend who shares weal and woe.
One is an ally who once betrayed him.
Just because the other party pretended to be mysterious, did you choose the latter?
Only a sick person would choose that way.
"What do you want, Taniel?"
Jason asked as he walked.
"Do whatever you want."
"French fries, chicken wings, and onion rings are all available."
Taniel answered.
The conversation between the two of them as if there was no one around them left Salmen a bit at a loss - he had guessed what kind of treatment he would encounter, and the situation in front of him was definitely not the worst.
The worst thing was that he was attacked by Jason as soon as they met.
But now, he would rather encounter the worst situation.
Because what is in front of us is the most difficult situation.
Distrust!
"I really have extremely important news to tell Sir Jason."
"This time, I didn't lie."
Salmon emphasized.
However, Jason and Tanier were not moved at all.
This made the officials of Lord's "mysterious side" anxious.
He stood outside the courtyard, helpless.
After more than ten seconds, Salmen took out a pen and paper and started writing.
"This is what I want to say to you."
"I wrote it all on it."
"Whether you want to see it or not, it's your freedom."
"besides……"
Salmen obviously wanted to say something more, but in the end he shook his head, placed the note at the door of the courtyard, and said: "Goodbye."
After saying that, the former official of Lord's "mysterious side" turned and left.
Hesitant steps.
I wanted to look back several times.
However, there is no turning back.
Jason and Tanier just watched each other leave indifferently.
It wasn't until Salmen disappeared that Jason and Tanier looked at each other, and then Jason disappeared.
Also missing was the note at the courtyard door.
Taniel was left sitting there, shouting towards the kitchen.
"Matthew, do you want more food?"
"I'm a little hungry."
…
Salmon lowered his head, half-hiding his face with his hat, and walked quickly out of Zhengli Shu Street.
He did what he could do.
What’s next?
We can only leave it to fate.
die?
He is also ready.
only……
Hope it's not too painful.
Salmen's special talent and profession as a 'diviner' gave him a premonition that his death was imminent.
Moreover, perhaps because his death was approaching, his inspiration suddenly increased several times.
He 'saw' some things that he could not 'see' at ordinary times.
There are good ones.
There are bad ones.
There is also what he expects.
There was even more that he couldn't accept.
Among them, the vast majority are bad.
What he couldn't accept was even worse than he could imagine.
In comparison, Taniel's difficulties when facing Jason just now were nothing, as light as a feather.
In short, that would be a result that he would find difficult to accept.
Of course, this result can be changed.
As long as someone breaks the situation!
You can definitely change the outcome.
he?
no.
Although he 'saw' it, he had no ability to change anything.
On the contrary, if he gets involved, it will only make things worse.
because……
His strength is really too poor.
But Jason is different.
Jason is strong enough.
However, this is not the key point!
The key point is that even after his inspiration was greatly enhanced, he still couldn't see Jason's 'fate trajectory'!
Everything about Jason is hidden!
It's as if there is an invisible force protecting Jason!
Samen didn't know what it was, but he knew that Jason like this was enough to be the key to breaking the situation.
Having this is enough.
"hope……"
"It will get better."
As Salmon said this, his eyes had already turned to the two people standing on the main Lishu Street.
The two of them were wearing cloaks, covering their appearance and figure.
Salmon looked back again.
At some point, two similarly dressed people appeared behind him.
well.
Sighing slightly, Salmon did not run away, let alone yell.
Because he knew that running was useless.
He couldn't run away at all.
As for yelling?
It's even more of a waste of effort.
He straightened his clothes, put on his face-covering hat, and walked towards the two men in cloaks in front of him.
It was to increase some possible hope of escape.
Now?
no need.
It is better to die calmly than to die cowardly in the gutter.
The fear of death has not diminished for Salmen at this time, but when faced with the moment of certain death, at least he chose to die with dignity.
"Let's go."
Walking in front of the two people, the two people behind him followed suit. Salmen said calmly to the two people in front of him.
The two people didn't waste any time and just stepped aside to get out of the way.
When Salmen took a step forward, the two of them walked forward with Salmen on their left and right.
The two people behind him followed closely behind.
Salmon was almost escorted out of Zhengli Shu Street.
After turning out of the street, a sack was put over his head and he was pushed into the carriage.
Wheel wheel wheel wheel!
The wheels rolled over the gravel path.
With some bumps, Salmen could clearly feel that he was moving away from Terte - the feeling of death was getting closer and closer, and his inspiration increased again, almost straight up.
Stay away from Terte and execute me?
A bit redundant, right?
wrong!
wrong!
I am……
bait!
Samen reacted almost instantly.
Then, the linearly increasing inspiration, with the help of the special expertise of the 'diviner', allowed him to peek at an old man sitting in front of the small coffee table, greedily enjoying sweets.
But the old man, who should have been completely attracted by the sweets, at this moment, raised his head as if he was aware of it.
Then, the old man smiled.
Smile at Salmon.
Suddenly, a chill went straight to my forehead.
Salmon shivered.
The picture in my mind immediately collapsed.
He didn't know who the old man was, but he confirmed that he was the one who planned this incident.
Immediately, Salmon began to struggle.
But the next moment, it stopped.
One of the four people guarding Salmen raised his foot and gave Salmen a heavy blow. The moment Salmen gasped in pain, he hit Salmen on the back of the neck with a knife.
Salmen suddenly fainted.
"'Soothsayers' are indeed the most troublesome group of people."
"Especially the talented ones."
Gista's voice suddenly sounded inside the carriage.
Among the four escorts, the one who was obviously the leader nodded in agreement.
"yes."
"That's why we have been planning for many years to cut off their 'road'."
The voice was cold and cold.
The words he spoke made people's hair stand on end.
"It's you who make the specific layout."
"It was you who took action."
"I?"
"On the contrary, I tried to dissuade you."
Gista said while eating.
In the room that belonged to him, the two pastry chefs he had hired with a high salary were bringing out two plates of cakes that had just been carefully baked. Gista did not shy away from the two of them.
Of course, the two pastry chefs, who walked stiffly, had dull faces, and looked like dead people, wouldn't say much.
them……
No!
Yes, they.
He no longer has the ability to think as he should.
All he has is the order given by Gista.
Other than that, basically only the instincts of undead creatures remain.
"This cherry cake is really delicious."
Gista admired.
While talking, he also chirped.
And in the void in front of him, the voice of the leader in the carriage rang out.
"You said such words..."
"Those 'diviners' who were tricked by you will die with their eyes open."
There was a strong sense of sarcasm in his words.
"I've persuaded them."
"Let them serve me."
"As a result, they are pretentious, so let them... all die."
Gista said nonchalantly.
"Hey, what about Jason now?"
"Have you also recruited?"
The leader in the carriage asked with a chuckle.
"he?"
"He is different!"
"The fortune teller is different from the night watchman."
"The former is a pretense without strength. Even if it is true, we can change it."
"the latter?"
"very dangerous."
"Each one is dangerous, especially if one of them is harmed and the others are discovered, their level of danger increases exponentially - so, I would not recruit him."
"I won't even appear in front of him in person."
Gista spoke plausibly.
"That's why I'm here!"
"But why today?"
"Tomorrow is the funeral of that stupid emperor. Wouldn't it be better for him to come forward at that time and make the situation even more chaotic?"
The leader in the carriage asked seemingly puzzled.
"Ztar, do you want to know more about tomorrow's arrangements?"
"If so, just tell me directly."
"With the relationship between us, there is no need to beat around the bush like this."
As Gista spoke, she stuck out her tongue and licked her butter-stained fingers.
Listening to the clear licking sound, Ztar in the carriage shook his head simply.
"I do not want to know!"
"I am just a marginal figure within the organization!"
"I don't want to get involved in the fight between you!"
"I don't want to peek deeper!"
"I'm just taking my share of the reward!"
Ztar emphasized.
"It could not be better."
"I'll leave it to you Jason."
"others?"
"Leave it to us."
With that said, Gista ended the communication.
Then, the old man, who had a strong appetite for sweets, started to smile ferociously.
"Keep your duty?"
"Ztar, you are overacting."
"However, even waste has value, let alone a sixth-level professional like you?"
"Kill Jason!"
"Kill him..."
"The last possible accident has been eliminated!"
As Gista spoke, he raised his hand and ordered his chef again.
"Make me more strawberry shortcake."
The two undead chefs bowed, turned around and walked outside.
The carriage that had already driven out of Terte turned a corner and headed towards Terte's former station.
Zital, who had his whole body wrapped in a black robe, covered his face with a hood, but even so, the three subordinates could sense their leader's displeasure.
The three of them held their breath and concentrated, not daring to express their anger.
A few minutes later, when the carriage drove into the abandoned station and stopped, Tstal returned to normal.
"Gista, wait!"
"Do you really think you can control everything?!"
"There will be a big surprise waiting for you tomorrow morning!"
Saying these words, one of the elders of the organization opened the carriage door and prepared to get out of the carriage.
However, the next moment, he was stunned.
Because, in front of him, stood a person whom he had completely unexpected -
Prince Ruitai!
‘Prince Ruitai’ wearing regular clothes and using his bare hands!
