The room was darkly lit and there was no lighting fixtures, so when the sun went down, the room would be plunged into darkness.

For many people, a dark environment often means a breeding ground for fear.

But for a small number of people, the dark environment will make their lives more comfortable.

"Is this it?"

Outside the room, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Yes, sir."

Tell by the sound, there are at least two people.

The next moment, the door opened.

There was no knocking on the door.

Outside the dark room is a corridor, which is laid out differently from the room, because when the door is opened, the light from outside the corridor enters with the door that is opened, as if it is driving away the light from the darkness.

Through this bright light, you can clearly see that the room is very poorly furnished.

The floor and walls are white, there are no tables and chairs, only a bed.

And at this moment, there is a person sitting on the edge of the bed.

As if because the door was opened, and as if there was light, the man sitting on the edge of the bed looked up at the two people standing outside the door. It's just that because of the backlight, all he saw in this person's field of vision was two completely dark figures, and he couldn't see who was standing outside the door at all.

And there was only one person who walked into the room.

Then the door was shut.

Once again, the room was plunged into darkness.

"Sean?" The man in the room who was sitting on the edge of the bed was the first to speak.

"It's me." Sean nodded, "I heard you're seeking asylum?" ”

"Yes." After a moment of silence, Elekate finally spoke, "The Nugus family is too strong, so the Thieves Guild sold me directly, and it took me a lot of effort to finally escape. …… So I have come to seek refuge from you. ”

"It's not a problem to shelter you. Anyway, it's just one more thief guild. In the dark, although Sean's expression could not be seen, his voice seemed very indifferent, "As for Nugus, they will soon be history, so there will definitely be no assassins coming to you." …… However, it is better for you to stay here temporarily for the sake of safety. ”

"Thank you." Elekate whispered, "So, what price do I have to pay?" ”

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

This phrase is common in all worlds and eras.

And with a smart person like Elekate, of course, he knows very well that with his status, he is not enough to let Sean protect him with a word. After all, his cooperation with Sean was only a mission contract relationship. So he helped Sean solve the problem, and Sean paid him, and the relationship between the two parties ended automatically after the end of that mission, so he also had to bear all the consequences when he accepted that mission.

It's just that Elekate didn't expect it. It was the Thieves Guild that would choose to betray him, which made his heart feel unusually cold.

So in a desperate situation. He had no choice but to seek refuge in Sean. After all, with his talent and ability, it can be regarded as a relief for the current Sean, which also ensures that his possibility of seeking refuge is greatly improved.

Sean didn't express any surprise at Elikate's words, after all, Elikate was a smart man, and he certainly knew what price he would have to pay if he wanted to shelter him. So he must also have a certain degree of contribution. So without much thought, Sean replied, "My intelligence department probed Hela before. Nugus has paid a heavy price at the time, and is currently very short of manpower, but your current situation is not suitable for the mission. So for the time being, let's assist Ruby and William in intelligence analysis. ”

"Hela. Nugus? Elekate repeated the name in a deep voice, but Sean could hear an unforgettable hatred in his words.

"Looks like you know this guy well."

"She's the one who pushed me into this situation." Elekate said in a deep voice, "This woman...... It's not simple. ”

"I also know that she is not simple." Sean sighed, but soon he suddenly spoke as if he thought of something, "Do you know the surname Garcia?" ”

"Garcia?" Elikate was stunned for a moment, but judging from his reaction, he obviously knew this, "The Garcia family is a marquis family in the Dabiang Kingdom, but this family has been in decline for a long time, and the Garcia family has lost all its fiefs in the Dabiang Kingdom, if it weren't for the fact that the sister of the current head of the family became Yashan. Nugus's concubine, I'm afraid the Garcia family is an empty title family. ”

"You mean......" Sean's pupils shrank suddenly, and his voice was a little more shocked, "Hela. Is Nugus's mother surnamed Garcia? ”

"Yes." Elekate was a little surprised by Sean's reaction, but replied anyway, "What's wrong?" ”

Sean's face changed suddenly, and at this moment, he could finally be sure that Hela was the one who directly supported the fighting intent of the entire southern nobles of Dabion. Nugus is Hela, who will be ranked seventh among the top 10 players in the future. Garcia!

In the original history of the game, because the Chief-tailed Serpent Plan of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance began to be destroyed after the second expansion, the situation in the Kingdom of Dabion did not change in any way, and the same thing about the Pandan Territory was only taken by players after the destruction of the Kingdom of Dabion. Hence Gesen. Nugus did not die, so it was up to him to become the next successor of the Nugus family, and in the process, Hela. Nugus may have left the kingdom of Dabion for some reason or persecution, and he didn't use Hela until the end of the third expansion in the future. Garcia's new identity reemerged.

But now, Sean's appearance not only occupied the Panda Territory and the Black Swan Castle in advance, but also destroyed the head and tail snake plan of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance in order to start a war with the Dabiang Kingdom. Nugus died early, resulting in Hela. Garcia did not regain his maternal surname and appeared on the stage of history ahead of schedule. Perhaps in the current situation, Hela. Nugus can't compare to her ten years later, but her potential and strength are there after all, so she can still threaten Sean.

History, has been changed!

Thinking of this, Sean was even sure that if he dared to send troops to attack Burbice Territory, then he had really fallen into this woman's trap.

"Tomorrow Rupee will arrange everything for you, you don't need to worry, I have some things to do for the time being, so I'll leave first." Sean confessed in a deep voice, and then immediately turned around and left the room, he must now go to William immediately to renegotiate the next strategic plan, otherwise it will be too late until the war really starts.

Watching Sean hurriedly come out of the room, Ruby, who had been standing outside the door and waiting, only glanced at him with some confusion, but he didn't ask anything, but looked back at Elekate in the room.

Ruby was no stranger to this old acquaintance, who was one of the few close friends of his adoptive father back then, and is said to have urinated on his head himself as a child.

Thinking of this kind of childhood memory, Ruby couldn't help but sigh a little at the fickleness of the world, he never imagined that he would have the opportunity to work with a legendary figure like Elekate in the Thieves' Guild. Of course, judging from the current situation, Elekate is still his subordinate, and he is a little worried that Elekate will not be satisfied with the current arrangement.

However, Elekate seemed to know what Ruby was thinking, although he couldn't see the appearance of the person outside the door clearly because of the backlight, but with his intuition as a thief, he could easily tell that the person outside the door was the rupee, so he quickly showed a reassuring smile: "In the future, I will eat under you, little Ruby, for the sake of me and your father being friends in the past, I have to take care of my uncle more." ”

Hearing Elekate's words, Ruby's face relaxed slightly.

And at this time, Sean is not in the mood to pay attention to what kind of touching scenes these two guys who can be regarded as old acquaintances.

This house was transformed from a temporary warehouse in the Void City, which looked like a warehouse on the surface, but in fact there was something else inside, which was a secret location in the Void Realm. This development strategy was proposed by Sean, and the main inspiration came from the spy movies he saw on Earth at the time, which can be regarded as a relatively advanced idea in this era.

After leaving the warehouse, Sean quickly headed straight for the Lord's Mansion.

In this regard, he did not spend too long, of course, mainly because his strength was already considered good.

When several black-winged soldiers standing outside the Lord's Mansion and in charge of guarding saw Sean, they instinctively wanted to salute, but at this time, Sean didn't have time to stop, so before these people saluted, he had already knocked open the door of the Lord's Mansion and went straight to the third floor. Seeing Sean's panicked appearance, these black-winged soldiers instinctively realized the seriousness of the problem, just because of the military discipline that William emphasized, so they didn't suspect anything in private, but forced their inner curiosity to continue patrolling.

Soon, when Sean knocked on the door of the conference room again, William and Neil in the room both had a little shock on their faces.

"What's going on?" William immediately asked, he knew that Shaun had just met with Elekate, and seeing Sean so nervous at the moment, he knew that the news he had received from Elekate was probably not good news.

"I got confirmation from Elekate." Sean said eagerly, "Garcia is Hela's mother's surname, which can already prove that Hela has the blood of the Garcia family in her body!" …… Now, give up on the plan to attack the Burbice Territory! We're shifting our strategic goals! (To be continued......)

PS: A new month has begun, last month was very unhelpful, I apologize for the incident. …… I won't say anything more and take action to show my apologies. Today's three watches, now is the first shift.
