The contemporary head of the Pombo family, assassinated?!"

In the room of the stone building of the intelligence agency, after Richard listened to the words of the thin old man, Rao was as calm as he couldn't help but be a little surprised, blinked his eyes and asked, "When exactly is this?"

"In the past night, it won't be more than six hours by now. The thin old man replied, then smiled bitterly, "Actually, we only got the news not long ago.

The person who assassinated the Pombo family was just like you yesterday, disguised as a wizard apprentice and entered the Pombo family's residence, and then found an opportunity to assassinate the head of the Pombo family, that is, Donus Pompo. ”

Hearing this, Richard suddenly realized why the guards were so vigilant when they went out before, when they heard that he was a newly recruited wizard apprentice.

After that, he looked at the thin old man with a little curiosity and asked, "Who is the other party?"

"The name he used was Buddha. ”

"Foding?" Richard read, the image of Foding flashing through his mind. At the beginning, he was wearing a black dress and laughed at each other, and his performance in the test was extremely outstanding, surpassing Brando, and he was very jealous of Brando.

"He's it, I really didn't think of it. Richard spoke.

"Actually, no one thought of it. The thin old man said, pulling the gray sparse head on his head and making a sound, "This Buddha Ding was sent by Gao Wen, and he has the strength of a first-level wizard and a low-level, not weak, but not strong either." The purpose of sending him was not to assassinate at all, but to hammer in a nail and obtain more information.

Who knows, after he successfully entered the Pombo family residence, I don't know if it was luck or bad luck, he actually happened to meet Donus Pombo at close range, and was questioned by Donus Pombo. He didn't hold back, showed his flaws, and attacked Donus Pompo ruthlessly. ”

"What was the result? Did the assassination succeed?" asked Richard.

"It's only half the battle. The thin old man pouted, "Fortin's attack can be determined to have successfully landed on Donus Pompo's body, and then it was killed by Donus Pompo's guards." As an ordinary person with no extraordinary strength, Donus Pompo was seriously injured after being attacked, but it is unknown how serious it is, and it can only be determined that he is now being treated secretly by blocking news. ”

Richard quickly thought of the guards who had appeared at the Pombo family station, and could guess that Donus Pompo's situation was probably not ideal.

Although Donus does not have extraordinary powers, he has amazing means, so he can become the head of the Pombo family in the modern day. The sudden fall of such a figure would inevitably cause chaos in the Pombo family, which had lost its backbone, and might cause further violent turmoil in the city of St. Louis.

Looking at the thin old man, Richard asked, "Now, St. Louis City, do the rest of the families and forces react?"

"Absolutely. The thin old man nodded, "They have all heard the news more or less, and what they haven't heard has guessed some possibilities from the unusual behavior of the Pombo family - after all, no one is stupid." Therefore, they are now planning whether to take advantage of this opportunity to unite and attack the Pombo family. ”

"What is the opinion of the Demonic Knight Commander Gawain of the Pombo Family?"

He agreed. The thin old man said, sighing, "Originally, he was a radical, and without my persuasion, he might have acted before you came, Lord Grey Crow." Now when I encounter this kind of surprise, I am absolutely unwilling to let it go. And he belongs to a very important force that rebels against the Pombo family, and secretly controls a large number of magic knights of the Pombo family. Once he makes a move, the rest of the family forces will follow suit, and the situation in the entire St. Louis City will definitely be in chaos. ”

Speaking of this, the thin old man paused, looked at Richard and tugged at the corners of his mouth, and explained with a bitter expression: "Lord Crow, I know that you want to keep the situation stable in St. Louis City so that you can implement some of your plans. But as you can see, it really wasn't caused by us, it wasn't that we wanted to cause you trouble and disrupt your plans, it was a chain reaction caused by accident. ”

Richard nodded, agreeing with the thin old man's statement, making sure that the other party was innocent.

Then his eyes rolled and his thoughts diverged.

If Gawain and the rest of the family forces unite to attack the Pombo family, and the situation is chaotic to a certain extent, then the knights in magic clothes stationed next to the manor outside the city will definitely be transferred, either to help Gawain deal with the Pompo family, or to help the Pombo family deal with Gawain and his party. It's a good thing that it will reduce the obstacles for him to get the Book of the Void.

After thinking about it, Richard said loudly: "Actually, the way it is now, it's not entirely a bad thing. ”

"Doesn't it count?" the thin old man was stunned, and looked at Richard with some surprise.

"Not really. Richard replied with certainty, "Of course, the premise is that I want to know what Gawain and these people think, and adjust my plan according to their actions." ”

"They did talk to me about it. The thin old man took out a pamphlet and said, "Their plan for now is to determine how Donus Pompo is doing, whether he is seriously injured and dying, or if he is getting better.

One of their worries was that Donus Pompo's situation might have stabilized and he was able to take charge of the overall situation, but he deliberately pretended that the situation was bad and designed them in reverse. When the time comes, once the face is torn, Donus Pompo is more than capable of pulling a large number of wall grasses back into the camp of the Pombo family and putting them in a desperate situation - there is a precedent for this.

Only after the situation of Donus Pompo has been determined will they really act, first of all...... Then ......"

The thin old man kept talking, and Richard nodded silently as he listened. Quickly memorize the content, sketch a sketch of the city of St. Louis in your mind, and deduce the development of the situation......

......

In the blink of an eye, an hour later.

Richard left the thin old man's intelligence agency and returned to the Pombo family station.

When he entered the garrison, he found that the soldiers guarding the gate had changed their faces, and it was not surprising that he was subjected to an even stricter interrogation than before, and he was almost stripped naked and searched.

He had already been mentally prepared for this, responded calmly, and finally returned to his residence smoothly.

Then, as time passed, more and more escort soldiers appeared in the Pombo family station, and the atmosphere became more and more oppressive.

By the afternoon, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Then he heard heavy footsteps in the room, pushed the door and walked out, and saw a group of guards in heavy black iron armor entering the courtyard where the eldest lady Anne lived.
