Chapter 1766 The Night Before

The night wind blew through Holleika's thick hair.

Compared with the time consumed by the convoy, Holleka traveling alone was almost twice as fast. He returned to Etantinople one day in advance.

Didn't go through the city gate.

Instead, sneak in through a hidden secret passage under one side of the city wall.

This secret passage does not lead directly to the Fortress of Etantino, but goes down the stairs.

Naturally, the secret passage belonging to the 'Quiet Night Secret Order' must be heavily guarded.

When Holleika just walked down the steps——

"who?"

A low shout sounded from the shadows.

Holleka didn't speak and threw a token directly.

After a moment, the token was respectfully handed out.

"Please move slowly, Sir Immortal."

The guard said respectfully.

In the 'Secret Order of Silent Night', apart from the high-level councilors, the name of 'Immortal' Carlyleho is absolutely resounding, even surpassing that of the councilors to some extent.

After all, those seventeen congressmen were so high up that it was difficult for people at the bottom to contact them. Instead, they had more contact with field staff such as Holleka and Lunkar.

Facing such a respectful voice, Holleka maintained his previous attitude.

The towering cheekbones are full of arrogance, but there is a hint of brilliance hidden in the narrow eyes.

He has not forgotten his identity as a 'Snake Sect'.

If it weren't for his mentor's repeated instructions, he would have burned this place down to avenge the dead demon hunters.

The wolf faction is in the Ming Dynasty.

The Snake Faction is in the dark.

For safety reasons, the two parties rarely communicate, but this does not mean indifference.

According to Holleka's knowledge, the Snake Faction has secretly helped the Wolf Faction countless times, and the former leader of the Wolf Faction has also provided corresponding support to the Snake Faction countless times.

Unfortunately……

After that catastrophe, with the death of the leader of the Wolf Faction, the relationship between the two parties was suddenly severed.

Of course, it's not just that.

‘There are people with evil intentions hidden in the Wolf Faction! ’

Thinking of her mentor's words, Holleka's heart tightened.

It is obvious that the 'Secret Order of Quiet Night' is doing the same thing as the Snake Sect.

And his mission this time is to find the possible ‘hidden child’.

This is not a simple matter.

Especially if he must ensure his own safety.

However, Holleika did not flinch at all.

"Snake, hidden in the mist."

"Snake, walk and shadow."

"I am professional in lurking and investigating, so let's compete now to see who is more professional!"

Holleika said silently in his heart.

Then, he strode forward.

This is a corridor. After passing through the corridor, there are stairs that continue downward.

This was repeated several times, and when they reached a location hundreds of meters deep underground, a town appeared.

Properly planned housing.

Taverns, stables, and blacksmith shops are all available.

‘Quiet Night Town’!

This is the largest stronghold of the 'Silent Night Secret Order' that Holleka knows. Members of the 'Silent Night Secret Order' and each other's family members live here.

It's not the peripheral kind.

Those people don't even know this place.

The people who can appear here are all those who have been tested and recognized, and belong to the backbone of the lower level of the 'Quiet Night Secret Order'.

Of course, Holleka does not live here.

He has a better and more suitable place.

I came here just to ‘deliver the mission’.

The person in charge here is the supervisor of the field staff. There are rumors that the other party will compete for the next term's 'Member'.

Holleka didn't believe this rumor at all.

Because he knew what the so-called 'members' of the 'Quiet Night Secret Order' represented, which was an existence that transcended the limits of human beings and moved towards the gods.

Obviously, this is nothing more than a smoke bomb released by the other party to better manage the town.

Holleka didn't mean to tell the truth.

Everyone who saw Holleika bowed and saluted.

Holleika walked into the other party's office with an indifferent look.

This is a thin middle-aged man. The robe woven with gold threads is worn on the other person's body, as if it is hanging on a bamboo pole. As the other person stands up, it becomes swaying.

"Welcome back, Carlylejo."

"How is Sika City?"

"Have you seen those rumored long worms hiding in the shadows?"

"They won't be as pitiful and helpless as the dogs we hunted, right?"

The other party's tone was enthusiastic, and when he mentioned the Snake Sect, he showed his disdain just right.

"seen."

"Very strong."

Holleka said coldly.

This is not because of the other party's anger at ridiculing the Snake Faction and Wolf Faction, but because Holleika usually has this attitude towards other people in the 'Silent Night Secret Order'.

"Don't be so cold."

"We are acquaintances, right?"

"What about the 'Misty' church?"

"What did you find out?"

The other party asked with a smile, not at all angry at Holleika's attitude.

"Milne, we don't know each other well."

"'Mist' is already a demigod!"

"He has a close relationship with the Snake Sect."

Holleika emphasized and said truthfully.

This information cannot be withheld.

Even if he doesn't say anything, if someone else investigates, he can quickly find out something fishy. Instead of doing this, it's better to say it openly to avoid unnecessary complications.

Holleka knew about the strength of the 'Silent Night Secret Order'.

"is that so?"

"Okay, I know."

"This is your bounty for this mission. If you need any special services, I can help you solve it."

Milne nodded, and then handed a bag of Kimpton to Holleika.

"unnecessary."

Holleka picked up Kimpton and left.

Looking at the other party's back, Milne suddenly stopped smiling.

"snort!"

"What a shameless guy."

"Sooner or later, you will regret it."

Milne bared his teeth and muttered to himself fiercely. Then, he showed a playful expression again and walked to the back of the office.

Here, there are two falcons.

Milne picked up the secret letter he had just written, tied it to the leg of one of the falcons, and directly released the falcon's restraints. Immediately, the falcon got into the flight channel and disappeared.

It's not that there isn't a quicker way.

It's just that it's not safe!

If you use secret techniques like communication in Fort Altantino, you will most likely be discovered by the God of War.

And he doesn't have the ability to cover everything up.

Therefore, the communication falcon has become a must.

Then, he tied another secret letter to the leg of the remaining falcon and let it fly.

Of course, two falcons are not going to the same place.

Naturally, the person who received the secret message could not be the same person.

After hearing the falcon's voice disappear in the passage, Milne quickly returned to his studio. He sat in the chair again, trying his best to cover up his face with a playful look.

But the excitement couldn't be concealed.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”

"I must catch it!"

Milne thought this in his heart.

…

Wheelkar, wearing a comfortable robe, sat in a chair.

In front of him was a small round coffee table, with a porcelain teapot and teacups as white as milk placed on it.

This was shipped from the East and was very valuable. It was also one of Lunkar's favorite tea sets.

Likewise, tea is as expensive as gold.

At this moment, they were cut with a silver tea knife and placed piece by piece on the porcelain plate in an orderly manner. The small dark green tea bricks and the milky white porcelain plate formed a charming picture.

This is what Lunkar learned specially in order to entertain the upcoming big shots.

Just like the porcelain tea set, most of the time, he would not take it out. Now that he takes it out to entertain guests, it must be perfect.

Time passed minute by minute.

When there was a knock on the door, Lunkar almost ran to the door and opened it.

"Good evening, Congressman Kolipo."

Lunkar respectfully addressed the person in front of him who was wearing a cloak and a large hood covering all his features.

The other party nodded slightly, and after walking into the room, he took off his hood and showed a smile.

The old face, with this smile, became more and more ridged.

However, a pair of bright eyes made the other party look not that old.

"Good evening, Lunkar."

"Is this tea from Jishu?"

"I really can't wait to try it."

Colipo looked at the tea sets and tea leaves on the table, looking impatient.

"please wait."

Lunkar really wanted to flatter the congressman and show his humbleness, but he still remembered the tea master's teachings and tried his best to remain neither arrogant nor humble.

However, the waist cannot be straightened.

He could only shrink his shoulders to make himself look upright, like an ostrich.

However, the posture for handling the tea set is very standard.

This is what Lunkar learned the hard way.

‘Since you can’t hide your shortcomings, use your strengths to attract attention! ’

He remembered the tea master's words.

From boiling water to making tea, every step is done meticulously.

When the hot water poured down into the teacup and the aroma of tea filled the air, Milne held the teacup in both hands, half-bent, and handed the teacup to Colipo.

"please."

According to the tea master, this sound should be clear.

But when it came to Lunkar, all that was left was clear flattery.

Colipo took the teacup and didn't dislike the tea soup at all. After drinking it all, he narrowed his eyes as if he was savoring the aroma of the tea. After a few seconds, he smiled and said: "Not bad."

After hearing this compliment, Lunkar finally felt relieved.

Obviously, the 'immortal''s investigation should be similar to his statement.

There may be some differences, but what does that matter?

It was obvious that he, the 'instigator', did not investigate as clearly as the 'immortal'.

If they were all the same, how could the ‘immortal’ become the trump card among field personnel?

"Sir, would you like another drink?"

"It is rumored that Jishu's tea becomes more fragrant as you go to the back."

Lunkar said.

"Haven't you drank?"

Colipo put the tea cup over and asked.

"of course not."

"You must know that Jishu's tea is really rare. It is basically priceless in Etantino."

"Most people who want to drink Jishu tea have to book it from Chika Bay in the south, and it takes at least five months for a ship to go back and forth from the east, which is really too long."

"Thanks to you, I drank it."

Telling about the difficulty of getting the tea, Lunkar showed a slightly exaggerated happy smile on his face.

In fact, Lunkar wanted to exaggerate the former's difficulty tenfold.

Because the more difficult it is, the more humble he appears, and the more noble the other party appears.

However, Lunkar, who knew who the other party was, did not dare to act haphazardly.

Lunkar understands the principle that going too far is not enough.

What if there is another deception?

Then he really can only wait to die.

Councilor Kolipo was obviously satisfied with Lunkar's honesty, which was not exaggerated, and nodded with satisfaction.

He drank the tea in the cup again and spoke.

"Carlylejo is back."

Although he already knew the result, Lunkar still sat up straight, looking like he was listening attentively.

"He confirmed the existence of the 'Snake Sect'."

"The relationship between the 'Snake Faction' and the 'Mist' has also been confirmed."

"but……"

"But no more."

Kelipo paused and looked at Lunkar.

Lunkar understood. He knew exactly what the Kolipo MP wanted to do.

There is no doubt about the power of the 'Secret Order of Quiet Night'.

Especially after the 'Black Disaster', this power almost reached a peak.

Everything must be reversed!

When the peak appears, there will inevitably be a short downhill road - the seventeen congressmen who once fought together seem to have some problems due to the 'Black Disaster'.

Wheelkar didn't know what it was.

However, he knew that the Congressman Kolipo in front of him and the other Congressman 'Gersak' were tit for tat.

Coincidentally, the 'immortal' can be regarded as a direct field agent under Congressman Gelsak, just like he is with Kolipo.

And their status is no longer within the control of Milne, a so-called field supervisor.

Similarly, their status is closely related to the members of the parliament they are loyal to.

So, Lunkar took a deep breath.

"With the ability of the 'immortal', the investigation must be much more detailed than mine."

"At this point, it's hard for me to outdo each other."

"But we also have our advantages."

"Do you remember the prisoners we had in prison?"

Lunkar bent over, approached Congressman Kolipo, and whispered.

When Lunkar mentioned the prisoners, Representative Kolipo immediately guessed what the subordinate wanted to do, and immediately showed a smile.

"Do what you want."

"I don't want Gelsak to be in the spotlight at the next council meeting, do you understand?"

Councilor Kolipo said.

"clear."

Lunkar answered decisively.

"very good."

Councilor Kelipo stood up and patted Lunkar on the shoulder. With the latter's flattered expression, he slowly left the house located in the middle second ring road.

The door slowly closed, and out of respect, Lunkar stood in front of the window and watched the congressman leave.

It wasn't until the other party hid in the shadows that he picked up his coat, put on his cloak, and walked quickly towards an extremely secret place.

This is on the way to the prison.

It is carefully selected by Lunkar.

Walking along the shadows, Lunkar didn't reveal any flaws, but when he passed the back window of a house, he lightly knocked three times, one long and two short.

Then, Lunkar continued to move forward as if nothing was wrong.

But just ten seconds later, a person appeared in the shadows ahead.

Looking at the figure in front of him, Lunkar showed a smile and said hello softly——

"Good evening, 'Immortal'."
