Chapter 31: Meeting in the Shadows

The night in Tyre is always earlier and colder than in the rest of the Emerald Kingdom, so that when it comes to night, there are no other people in Tyr except for the patrolling guards.

However, compared to other nights, there were far more patrols in Tyre tonight.

For a murder had just appeared in this once peaceful town—although the identity of the victim had not been confirmed, but the murder involved the venerable tax collector Molde; Therefore, the guards patrolling tonight have changed from two teams in the past to four.

The patrol guards, who had almost doubled, scrutinized suspicious people or objects.

In fact, such searches began after the tax collector called out to the guards; However, from the afternoon until dark, there was nothing of real gain—neither the real murderer nor the local thieves' union was found.

On the contrary, after a long search, even the most attentive guards couldn't help but be distracted.

It's not that they're not conscientious enough, it's just that fatigue has made them have to.

Many of the guards in this night's patrol had taken part in the previous afternoon's search, so that at this time, in this cold and windy night, they were able to keep their eyes wide open, and follow their companions in front of them, so that they would not be left behind, and looked forward to returning to the outpost as soon as possible, near the warm brazier.

Therefore, it is conceivable how useful these patrol guards, although they are twice as large.

In this regard, taking advantage of the time difference of the guards' patrols, Dean who was walking through the town of Tyre did not mind at all, and was even very grateful to the tax collector for his intentional or unintentional 'guidance' in the afternoon--Dean was on the second floor of the 'Snow Bear House', watching the tax collector's actions through the window.

Obviously, the other party wants to kill all the thieves who have attacked him for his own safety, but he has 'unevenly distributed the spoils'.

Undoubtedly, Dean's arrangement played a role.

However, those local thieves definitely have sensitive eyes and ears and a sense of crisis, and they have all run away before the other party can make a move.

There will definitely be a tough battle between the two sides.

Dean believed in the revenge of the thieves' guild, and he believed in the tax collector's cruelty—and he was bound to contribute to it, so that the latter could not die again.

That was for later, though, and now Dean was just glad that if it weren't for his exhaustion, it would have been impossible for him to make it so easy through Tyre, and it would have taken some effort.

Compared with the 'devotion' of Captain Mark in Horn Town, although the guards in Tyre Town do not have an 'outstanding' leader, their respective levels are definitely not comparable to those of the 'sheriffs' in the hinterland;

The battle with robbers and bandits can definitely be called hovering on the edge of life and death, and you only need to survive for several years in a row, even if you are an ordinary person at first, you will eventually become a qualified soldier.

And there is no doubt that there are not a few such soldiers in the town of Tyre.

Thus, in the previous plans, Dean never ignored these guards; It's just that what he didn't expect was a small 'accident' that made him temporarily throw these guards away.

In a cold wind mixed with frost, Dean took advantage of the swaying flames in the brazier and walked very smoothly through the fence on the side of the gate of Tyre.

Then, he ran towards the agreed place.

It was a dense forest about two kilometers from Tyre - a hidden place that Dean had found near Tyre, which had been used as a backup hideout.

However, it is also a good option to use it now to meet with those spies of the High Sai.

After all, as the 'spy chief' who took over Vauban County, he had to show his 'ability'.

Although as lurkers, spies of various countries are undoubtedly the most loyal wave of people, but as long as they are people, then there will be fights.

And in order for himself to 'have a group of loyal and hard-working subordinates', Dean must convince the other party, even if in the bottom of his heart, he is more willing to kill all of them.

After all, now that he is 'weak', it is impossible for him to abandon a 'force' that encompasses the entire Vauban County and has a complete intelligence network.

Dean, who had arrived almost half an hour earlier than the appointed time, had time to check the location he had chosen again - after making sure that no one had come in advance and that there was no ambush, Dean found a shadowy corner in the leeward and waited quietly for his meeting.

As for the other party, they may not have seen it, will they come?

Such an assumption does not exist at all.

As a spy for Gausai, Dean believes that the other party has enough professional skills, and as the only inn in Tyre, the 'Snow Bear House' is the only hotel in Tyre, and there is no reason why the spy of Gausai should not keep an eye on him.

And once they are focused, they will inevitably appear.

As long as they are now, they will definitely return.

As a spy, the reward may not be very high, but the punishment is definitely severe.

And each organization has a corresponding punishment method for its own spy members, so that they obediently obey orders and dare not resist.

Maybe it's family, or maybe it's hatred.

Either way, Dean knew one of them would be very effective.

This time, it was no exception -

Ten minutes before the appointed time, a dark shadow appeared in Dean's field of vision; The other party is not happy, but he is careful enough, and he will carefully observe every distance he walks, and on the side of the opponent's waist, although the other party has been hidden, the shape of the crossbow cannot be hidden from Dean at all.

At such a close time, Tyr led a rare hand crossbow, and after the two were added, the identity of the other party was obviously about to come out.

However, Dean did not come out anxiously, but quietly waited for the other party to approach.

As the leader of a spy and spy, others may be inferior to others, but patience must be better than others.

The other party did not hide in the corner, Dean.

It's not that they're careless, it's the place Dean has chosen, and it's the most overlooked place - because, if you glance at it, it's just a pile of stones.

As for those who are hiding in it?

If you don't come to you, you won't be able to show up.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and when the agreed time came, the other party was not in a hurry, but waited quietly, and similarly, Dean, who was hiding in the shadows, was not anxious.

The two sides are like patience, one standing in the light and the other hiding in the dark.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes......

It wasn't until an hour later that the man standing in the bright spot finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he opened his mouth and shouted, "Your Excellency, are you here?" ”

WhewW......

The sound of the cold wind blowing quickly drowned out the words, as if no one had spoken at all.

"Your Excellency, are you here?"

The other shouted again.

"It's coming!"

This time Dean answered, but when the other party heard it and did not react, Dean said very quickly: "Just stand there, don't move, don't turn around - I don't want a misunderstanding between us, you know...... You have it, I have it too! ”

Hearing Dean's words, the other party's body stiffened, and he forcibly stopped the urge to turn around, and just stood in place and said: "Your Excellency, I have always heard of your caution, but ...... We need to identify each other! ”

"Don't you think that's what you did first?" Dean laughed in a deep voice, "Remember, I remind you again, I don't want to be misunderstood...... Therefore, those temptations are spared - the fact that I can ask you out is enough to prove the reliability of my identity! ”

"Of course!"

The other replied, gesturing at the same time.

And seeing these gestures, Dean sneered in his heart - these gestures are gestures between Gosai spies, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, which Dean himself can be sure of.

But, that's exactly the problem.

Although these gestures can be considered secret, they are definitely not top secret, and some of the top shady forces know what they mean; And with this gesture that may be known, to confirm the identity, obviously...... It's a temptation.

In this regard, it is understandable to be a spy.

As for Dean's previous words?

How can a person who believes such a word become a spy?

However, some necessary means are still necessary.

Click!

Sou!

With a tense sound, the arrows of the crossbow grazed the opponent's knee joints and shot into the ground in front of the opponent, even if it was a hard frozen ground, it was more than half of the powerful arrow.

"I hope this is the first and last time!"

Dean's gloomy voice grew darker and darker, expressing his own unhappiness.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The other party was not frightened, on the contrary, there was a little more ease in the conversation with Dean, and it was obvious that Dean's approach made the other party's trust a little more.

As he spoke, a bronze King of Conquest coin appeared between the other party's fingers, and in this way, it was held between the index and middle fingers, and raised above the shoulder, so that Dean could see more clearly.

"You can turn around...... Be slow, though...... Okay, slow down, I don't want us to get into any trouble! ”

Seeing the copper King of Conquest coin between the other party's fingers, Dean moved in his heart, and immediately took out the gold King of Conquest coin and sandwiched it between his fingers, so that the other party who turned around could see it clearly.

Obviously, after seeing this coin, the other party was completely relaxed, he bent down, and saluted the person in front of him who was covering himself tightly: "Cedar No. 1, I've seen my lord!" ”

"Hmm!"

Dean nodded quietly, and at the same time, he considered the words again in his mind - although he already had a draft, it was not easy to find a suitable reason, even Dean needed some 'beginning', otherwise, the spies would not be sent to death in vain.

And just when Dean was about to convince the other party with the excuse that 'Molde has revealed his secret and must be silenced', which will lower his 'self-evaluation',

The spy, codenamed 'Cedar One', suddenly said, "That tax collector from Tyre wants to join us!" ”

Suddenly, Dean was stunned.
