Docklands Shadow Thieves Guild Headquarters, Renault. Bloodhead was secretly meeting with a man from the Shadow Council, wrapped in a gray cloak, but the atmosphere between the two of them was a little weird, and they sat at the table like this, neither of them saying the first word.

In fact, since the beginning of the riot, the bloodhead did not do his best to help quell the civil strife, and the relationship between him and the Shadow Council has become very tense, and there are frequent incidents of misfire, and each side is testing the other's bottom line and purpose, if it weren't for Arcanis's revenge, maybe the council would have sent someone to assassinate the bloodhead.

One thing that is well known to the Gangs of Ascatra is that Arcanis must be brought down first in order to bring down the Bloodhead, otherwise the entire city will be bleeding if the legendary thieves go crazy.

The man with his face hidden under his hood was negotiating on behalf of the Council today, and with the six-member Council on the horizon, he had to win some support, or the Council would lose a lot if he captured those oddly shaped fortresses.

Now that Ascatra has lost tens of thousands of its most elite population, a large number of merchants, scholars, aristocrats and middle-class families have fled, and only some guys whose own interests are closely tied to Am's are still waiting, if the six-member council cannot quell the civil unrest, then they will not hesitate to give up the next qiē and start over in a new environment.

It is important to know that merchants and the new aristocracy are the two most important parts of Am's government and economy, and if these people are gone, then the country will be completely finished, and Am's no commerce and no maritime trade will inevitably degenerate into a traditional agricultural country. A large number of rural aristocrats, suppressed by the Council, must have risen back. Maybe a new king will be chosen.

After all, hundreds of years ago. Amm was still a monarchy, and at that time, all the power was in the hands of the nobles, and they must have missed that era very much, so if they have the opportunity, they will definitely take back the one that once belonged to them at any cost.

After ten minutes of silence, the messenger finally lost his breath and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Renault. Bloodhead, are you still a shadow thief? Or do you still admit to being a member of the Shadow Council? ”

"Haha! Danny Hull, you're finally talking. I thought you'd be as silent as you normally would. What about your men? Could it be that the city hall has been embarrassed to such a time that you should let you, one of the members of the six-member council and the supreme leader of the shadow thieves, personally come out? Bloodhead teased in a sarcastic tone.

It can be seen that he is full of resentment at the moment, and he does not hide his malicious eyes.

But it's no wonder that when the vampires started the guild war a few months ago, the council didn't give any real help at all, and even several other heads of the Shadow Council watched from the sidelines, if it wasn't for Henry's timely appearance, I'm afraid he would have become a slave of the vampire queen Bardi.

Whoever it is. It is impossible to be calm after experiencing such a thing, not to mention that the price paid by the blood head is very heavy. I haven't fully recovered until now.

But it is precisely because of this that he didn't even hesitate when he signed the agreement with Henry to betray the shadow thief, and now he has obtained a lot of money from selling "Elysian Dreams", so he wants to make the other party look even better.

Things have developed to this point, it can be said that the six-member council has lost control of the local area, the shadow council exists in name only, and all the high-ranking leaders have begun to expand their power to prepare for the upcoming chaos, as long as they are not fools, they can see that Am's decline has become a foregone conclusion, and what they need to do now is to expand their strength as much as possible, and then wait for the price to sell.

"Bloody head! You better not forget who helped you when you needed it most! I think you were just the heir of a second-rate family who was deprived of the right to inherit! It was with the power of the Shadow Thieves Guild that the revenge was completed! Danny Hull slapped the table hard and cursed viciously.

The sudden movement startled the bloody head, and he hurriedly subconsciously put his hand on the weapon on his waist, he knew very well that the man in front of him was not as powerless as he seemed on the outside.

As a fifteenth-level thief and fifth-level assassin, Danny Hull is second only to Arcanis in strength within the Shadow Thieves Guild, especially in assassination, and many politicians who clamored to eliminate the Shadow Thieves were solved by himself, otherwise he would not be able to suppress those ambitious guild leaders.

Renault. The bloody head quietly activated the protective magic on the ring, and shrugged his shoulders with a playful smile: "That was a long time ago, and I have also served the Shadow Thieves Guild for so many years, and the favor I owe has long been almost repaid, I believe you should also understand the current form, so all the useless nonsense can be omitted, and the meaning can be explained directly." ”

"The Council is about to launch an offensive to quell the chaos in the city, and I want you to get the thieves in the city to move and cause some trouble among the mob. As long as you are willing to contribute this time, we can guarantee you an extra seat in the Council. ”

Seeing that playing the emotional card didn't work, Danny Hull said the requirements and conditions very bluntly. He knew that the members of the Shadow Council were out of his control, and the only thing that could drive them at the moment was interests.

You must know that the Council is the highest ruling body in Am, and each of them has great power, and in order to be able to suppress the riots, these people are also fighting hard......

"?!! seat in a council" The bloody eyes instantly burst out with two rays of light, and a trace of greed inadvertently appeared on his face.

There is no doubt that anyone who has lived in Amm for more than a year will be familiar with the title of Supreme Councillor, who has the resources and financial resources to crush any powerful chamber of commerce or family, and at the same time to enact laws that are beneficial to them, and although they appear to be democratic on the surface, they are in fact authoritarian to the extreme.

Just as he was thinking about the gains and losses, there was a sudden fluctuation in the air, followed by a cold light, and blood splashed in an instant!

Danny Hull wolf bèi rolled on the spot and dodged the fatal blow. However, all four fingers of his right hand, except for his thumb, were severed.

The sneak attacker didn't hesitate. An arrow rushed to the front. With the swing of the weapon in his hand, he made several deep wounds on the opponent's body in a few seconds.

Danny Hull, who had lost a hand, could barely resist, and in the end he couldn't support it anymore, so he immediately activated the amulet around his neck, followed by a hissing shout: "Renault. Bloody head! How dare you assassinate me, you idiot! Wait! The council's armies will level your turf! ”

As soon as the words fell, a strong white light flashed, and his whole person disappeared without a trace in an instant. You don't need to ask to know that you escaped using a teleportation spell, only the bloody fingers on the ground prove that a thrilling assassination has just occurred.

"Humph! The pitiful clamor of the weak, it won't be long before the whole of Amm will collapse, and what can a mere councillor do. As he spoke, the attacker pulled down his hood, revealing an extremely ordinary face, none other than Robert, who had just been separated from Nessis.

He originally planned to come to find a bloody showdown, but who would have thought that he happened to meet Danny Hull, as the saying goes, it is better to do it sooner than to do it skillfully......

The leader of the thieves decided to launch an assassination attempt. On the one hand, it can make the Council think that the bloodhead has betrayed them, and on the other hand, it can force the bloodhead to join their side. It's a win-win-win.

However, as another party, Renault. The blood head didn't feel very good at the moment, to be exact, he was trembling with anger, and after a while he raised his trembling fingers and asked, "You...... What do you mean?!! ”

"What do you mean?" Robert laughed and spread his hands. "Quite simply, my friend, it's showdown time. Now you have to make a choice, either on my side and my master, and with us to overthrow the Council's rule, or on the side of the Council against us. But now it seems that Danny Hull will probably not believe any of your promises anymore, after all, in his eyes, you have just launched an assassination and cut off four of his fingers. ”

"Showdown!! The Lord of Shadows is above! Is your ambitious master planning to annex Am?! Bloody Head stood up instantly, and asked with a surprised face.

As the master of the underground world of Ascatla, of course, he can't be a fool, from the past one thing after another, he can clearly feel Henry's infiltration in this land, especially the mutual aid association that launched a riot some time ago, it is definitely a chess piece arranged in advance.

Robert shook off the blood on his weapon, came to the table and said in a low voice: "No, the master doesn't want the whole of Amm for the time being, he only wants a small part, and the rest will be distributed to the trusted partner." Think about it, don't you want to be able to leave the shadows one day and come to the fore generously? ”

I have to say that this sentence is quite tempting for those guild leaders who are constantly on the lookout for mutinies and assassinations, even for guys like Bloodhead who have almost climbed to the top.

After all, the guild leader can only rely on means and strength to fight, but the nobles can lie at home and enjoy life, and when they die, they can pass it on to their children, and as long as they are not fools, they know which one is better.

His breathing suddenly became rapid, his fists clenched, and he stared at two bloodshot eyes and asked, "I want a city!" A title of nobility that can be hereditary! Can you give it to me? ”

Robert put the weapon back into the sheath and nodded without hesitation: "Of course!" Cremur and Psu, you can choose from these two cities, and as for the title, I think one count should be enough. But in exchange, you and your men will either come under my jurisdiction or withdraw from Askatra. In addition, "Elysium" is not allowed to be sold in the owner's sphere of influence. ”

In his opinion, the western part of Amm, which had lost a large number of merchants, would soon decline, and there was no value at all except the two natural harbors of Ascatra and Moulin, so he made a promise without thinking.

"I need a written guarantee! When you can bring the full set of credentials, I will start cooperating with your actions. ”

Although the two sides had worked together very happily before, this time he was very cautious, and he understood that verbal promises could be reversed at any time, and only when they were put on paper could they be safeguarded.

"No problem, I will do my best to send you what you want, I wish us a happy cooperation." As he spoke, Robert held out his right hand.

"Happy working together!" The bloody head also stretched out his right hand and shook it vigorously.
