Chapter 770 The Master of the Assassination Team

Logically speaking, Lillea is a member of the cadre level and should have the right to know about the most senior cadres, but the fact is exactly the opposite.

Lylea's superior, the supreme commander of the Elf Assassination Team, has never shown up once. Any tasks assigned are all delivered by unknown special personnel, and those who deliver the tasks will... Stay directly with the team that assigned the mission, become a member of it, and perform the mission together with the team.

Usually after the mission is completed, they will disappear at an unknown time. Sometimes, they can be found and followed, but unfortunately, the opponent's anti-tracking ability is quite good, even if someone like Lilei Even an experienced assassin like Ya would be lost.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but frown: I really didn't expect that the other party had taken so many precautions in order to conceal their identity. Even the people delivering the message had been specially trained.

"If we are both the highest-ranking members of the elves, is it possible that we would know each other's identities?" I asked Lillea.

"What do you mean?" Her eyes flashed, and I nodded.

Then, Lilea fell into a brief thought, and then said: "You should know, after all, we are both the highest-level personnel, and the positions under their jurisdiction are public to each other."

"That'll be easy," I grinned.

That night, I sneaked into Elder Mai Sonoda's villa again.

At this moment, Elder Mai Sonoda was still at work, and the thick pile of information almost engulfed her.

When she saw me coming in, she lowered her head and continued working, completely ignoring my presence.

"Elder Mai Sonoda," I was not polite, pulled up a chair, sat in front of her desk, and said, "I have a question I want to consult with you."

"explain."

"Who among you elders is in charge of the assassination team?"

"Why are you asking this?" She raised her head, with vigilance and doubt hidden deep in her eyes.

"Just after I came out of your villa, I was followed by the assassination team."

"Are you sure that must be the assassination team? And not some other enemy?" Elder Mai Sonoda frowned at me, his eyes full of distrust.

"It must be the assassination team." I showed off a crossbow, put it in front of her desk, and said, "Besides, someone has already identified it for me."

"Are you talking about the child named Lilea?" Elder Mai Sonoda nodded: "She was indeed the best member of the assassination team."

"Oh? Are you familiar with her?" I smiled: "Or are you actually the real controller of the assassination team?"

"It's not me." Elder Mai Sonoda shook her head. Suddenly, her eyes tightened and she stared at me and said, "What would you do if you knew who that person was?"

"I will just pretend I don't know and continue my life."

"Why?" Elder Mai Sonoda said in surprise: "According to your character, you should find an opportunity to kill her."

I shook my head: "You still don't understand me. You may not believe me. I have always had a clear distinction between grudges and grievances. Whether I am killing people or saving people, I always have to find out the reasons before taking action. Speaking of which, among the elders, except for you and Apart from Elder Priscilla's objections to me, the other elders don't have such deep prejudices against me. Of course, if it is because of some of my behavior that I have unintentionally offended the other elders, it is not unreasonable. It's possible, after all, I'm a country guy, I don't know etiquette, and I can't say any beautiful and moving words."

"Don't worry about this," Elder Sonoda Mai said: "We elders may not be as big-hearted as the sky and the sea, but we can still tolerate some bad behaviors of civilians."

"Yes, yes, just as you said," I said: "Since you can tolerate my rudeness, you will not show murderous intentions towards me. Since you have revealed murderous intentions, then there must be someone behind the scenes who is manipulating all this. What I want to do , not to seek revenge on that elder, but to draw out the power hidden behind the elder."

After hearing this, Elder Sonoda Mai said in a deep voice: "Can you lure out those forces that even I can't see clearly and fathom with just your little cleverness?"

"I'm not sure," I said with a smile. "After all, those with great wisdom never pay attention to small cleverness. It is often because of this that small cleverness will gradually grow and eventually become a decisive good idea."

After listening to my words, Elder Mai Sonoda nodded to herself and remained silent for a while. She asked me: "After I tell you my name, can you promise not to shake Her Majesty's position and not worsen the relationship between elves and goblins?"

"I can guarantee that."

"Okay, let me tell you," Elder Mai Sonoda said, "The person in charge of the latest batches of assassination teams is Elder Lindsay."

"Elder Lindsay?" I thought for a while: "Is she the old witch who misinterpreted the content of Master Dewey's letter to the Queen?"

Elder Mai Sonoda did not answer, but stared at me and said, "You shouldn't have called me this word too, right?"

I was startled, licked my face and said with a smile: "How can I? You are such a majestic elder, how dare I make fun of you, hehe."

"You kid, there is a bit of treachery in your smile. I don't believe what you just said," Elder Mai Sonoda shook his head.

Tsk, you have discovered all this, what a sensitive old witch!

There's a reason why I didn't take action after finding out who controlled the assassination team.

There are two reasons: first, it is indeed because I want to fish out the mysterious organization hidden behind Elder Lindsay; second, is it possible that someone pretended to be a member of the assassination team and attacked me to frame Elder Lindsay.

Both situations are possible, and neither of them can be ignored. Once ignored, it is likely to affect my next plan.

Moreover, what I just said to Elder Mai Sonoda also contains elements of lies - it was not that I was followed and assassinated after leaving Elder Mai Sonoda's villa, but that I was followed and assassinated after leaving Ren's tree house.

The reason why she lied was to create a sense of tension for Elder Mai Sonoda to a certain extent, forcing her to reveal who was the controller of the assassination team more naturally.

In any case, a cautious person like her would not be able to give in easily without some special means of coercion.

When I got home, the hall was empty and there was no one in the yard. Everyone must have gone back to their rooms.

I simply packed up and went back to the room.

As soon as I closed the door, Phoenix and the others gathered around me and asked me how my inquiring was going.

I shrugged: "I didn't get much information, but I can be sure of one thing. Elder Lindsay is now in charge of the assassination team."
