Just in Sean and Saloki. When Yukikaze reached a secret agreement and the two sides confirmed a win-win plan for a further strategic alliance, a castle located in the territory of Tonis was also ushered in with a dull atmosphere like before a storm.

This castle is not a war castle, after all, in front of it is the Tonis Fortress, which is said to never fall, and the direction of the Tonis Fortress to the south is now all under Lane - in fact, the area located in the Broken Dragon Valley and its surrounding mountains in the Southern Continent is still under the control of Dabiang's Third Garrison, but this army, which used to be known as the strongest army in Dabiang, is still being dragged down by the beast tide that comes from the wilderness, so Lane's side simply ignores the ownership of this area- Therefore, there is really no need to build a castle like this in a relatively safe area to build a war fortress, because it is not very ornamental.

This newly built castle naturally belonged to the popular retainers of King Lane's side: Floris. The private residence of the Marquis of Hermann.

The nominally superintendent of the Seventh Legion in the Tonys Fortress, but in fact the real control of the entire Tonys Territory, was now in his study on the second floor of his newly completed castle.

This study, which can activate the soundproof magic array as long as the door is closed, was still built with the help of a magician beside him.

Even Floris had to admit that the magician did have a deep attainment in the magic array, and if he cultivated it carefully, not to mention how far his potential could make him grow, but he would definitely be able to become a master of the magic array in the future. To put it more plainly, this magician is indeed a talent worthy of investment and cultivation by the Marquis of Flores. However, there is still a big gap between the real genius.

It's just a pity that this man made a fatal mistake that Flores couldn't tolerate the most: greed for life and fear of death.

For his part, Flores can tolerate all sorts of faults and problems with the people under his command. Even if it is lustful, murderous, fond of alcohol, or indifferent, lonely, arrogant, etc., he will not mind at all, after all, the industry he runs is destined to be absolutely not normal for the talents under his command. However, the only thing that "greedy for life and fear of death" was unbearable for Floris, because in his opinion, once such a person fell into the hands of the enemy, he was likely to do something stupid in order to survive.

In order to prevent these stupid things that may damage his interests or reputation from leaking out, once he finds someone who is "greedy for life and afraid of death". Flores usually chooses to use him as an outcast or cannon fodder, and if he is not dead, then he has to give the other party a ride himself.

The magician who was once held in high esteem by Floris. It was under such circumstances that it suddenly completely evaporated from the world a few days ago.

Looking at the faint light that flickered in this room from time to time, Flores sighed softly: "It's really a pity. …… If he had known that Lu Dao would have this kind of result, it was not impossible to keep him for a few more days. ”

The Marquis of Flores sat back in his chair with some helplessness. Then set fire to a document that he had held in his hand earlier.

This document is only one page. But what is written on it only takes up half a page. But if any of the nobles in the upper echelons of Ryan were to see what was written on this piece of paper, then they would definitely re-examine their relationship with Sean.

There is no other reason.

The paper was written about one of Sean's hole cards on the battlefields of the South.

The specific implementation plan of the decapitation tactic that led to the complete rupture of the encirclement network and even pushed the Nugus family into the abyss.

Although the person who wrote this half of the paper did not see it with his own eyes, everything was deduced by him through clues and some information. But if Sean could see what was written on the paper, he would be surprised, because except for a few details that were a little vague because it was impossible to infer it, the rest of the place was almost as if he were there in person.

It's just that the Marquis of Flores wants to get this half of the information. He had lost a full twelve black-feathered nightingales.

As the mastermind behind the control of nearly one-third of the underground intelligence network and work of the entire Lane, the Marquis of Flores's intelligence system is naturally very developed. Under his command is the Nightingale organization, which specializes in assassination, pursuit, stealth and other work. The highest-ranking of them is the Black Feather Nightingale - there are less than thirty Black Feather Nightingales in the entire organization, and the three people in charge of this organization are called "Three Shadows", and they are also the three most trusted hole cards of the Marquis of Floris.

For this half of the information, the price paid by the Marquis of Flores is really a bit big.

But it was this confrontation that gave Flores a more accurate judgment about the Void Realm's intelligence organization: it was a powerful intelligence agency that was barely under his Nightingale organization.

After watching the paper in his hand burn to ashes, Floris poured the ashes into a water cup, and then kept shaking until the water was completely inky and even the ashes were almost dissolved in the water, and he raised the water glass and drank it all. After this, the Marquis of Flores took out a new blank piece of paper and began to write on it, although the contents were similar to the contents of the paper that Florence had just held in his hand, but if you looked closely, you would find that the contents of the new writing were all confirmed and confirmed, and almost all the ambiguities were removed.

After writing the letter, Flores carefully packed it into an envelope and printed it with lacquer.

Just looking at the pattern of the seal, this is an urgent letter sent to the royal family.

It wasn't until he was done with all this that Floris stopped, and then suddenly said, "Shadow Ghost, is that you?" ”

"Yes, sir." From the void, a voice responded, but the voice sounded a little weak.

Floris's raised an eyebrow, "You're hurt?" ”

"Minor injuries, out of the way." The Shadow Ghost replied respectfully.

Floris was really shocked.

Although the Shadow Ghost is the person who is responsible for tracking, lurking, and spying on the Three Shadows. Not very good at fighting, but that's only relative to the best of the Three Shadows, if compared to the nightingales. Even if thirty Blackfeather Nightingales were on the same page, they wouldn't necessarily be able to injure the Shadow Ghost. But this time, the shadow ghost was actually injured, although it was only a minor injury, but it was enough to shock Floris.

"What the hell is going on?"

"I can already confirm that the person who killed the old man is the lord of Panda, Sean. Connelly. The Shadow Ghost replied in a deep voice, "He's got two people with him on this trip. One of them must be his sister. Cecilia. …… However, the other one I don't know the identity of Lu Dao, and I haven't even seen it myself, but the aura on the other party's body is very terrifying. I didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered. ”

"Terrible?" Floris quickly thought about the information about Sean, but unfortunately because he didn't pay enough attention to Sean before, his knowledge of his information was really limited. "How scary?"

"Hmm...... this time. The Shadow Ghost didn't answer immediately, but fell into a brief silence before speaking, "At least the level of a quasi-Sacred Domain powerhouse. …… And not only is this person powerful, but I also found that the lord's perception is also very keen, because I was almost discovered by him once, if it wasn't for the fact that someone happened to challenge him at that time to distract him a little, and I was able to withdraw immediately, I am afraid I would have been discovered. ”

"Challenge?" Floris suddenly felt that things had become a little more than he had imagined. "Who challenged him?"

"The female sword dancer of the Windbreaker Tribe, but...... The duel does not seem to have begun. Instead......"

"On the contrary to what?"

"Instead, the elf sword dancer and the lord have come together." The Shadow Ghost spoke, "Looks like you've surrendered to this lord. ”

"I see." Floris snorted coldly, "Those barbarian elves of the Wind Breaking Tribe are really wrong, they wanted to release a new mission here two days ago, the content is to catch that female elf sword dancer, whether dead or alive. …… Tell me what's going on with your injury. ”

Hearing Floris's cold snort, the shadow ghost didn't speak, but it wasn't until he asked about himself that he replied again: "Because I saw that female elf sword dancer and Sean and the others coming together, and the other party had a powerful person, I didn't dare to get too close, and I didn't know much about their specific situation. So I went out of my way to instigate a detachment of guards stationed on the plains of vanilla to find out what was going on with them, and before I could get closer, the patrolling soldiers were all brought down, and I found out that ...... That lord seems to have gotten stronger. ”

"Getting stronger?" Floris let out another exclamation.

"Yes, I don't know exactly what the situation is, but I can feel it." "Because I have carefully investigated the injuries on the wounded soldiers, and then compared them with those on the old man and others, I have come to the conclusion that this lord has indeed become stronger, although it is not obvious, but it is an undeniable fact. …… Later, when I wanted to venture closer to investigate, I found that the lord had more people around him, and it was obvious that the size of the army was an extremely well-trained elite army, although the number was only thirty, but I assessed that even if the two hundred guards in the castle clashed with these thirty people, I am afraid that our side would be defeated. ”

Floris's pupils shrank suddenly.

"And the one in charge of these people is another elf. …… I don't know where this elf came from, but his abilities restrained me, so by the time I spotted him, he had already attacked me. My injuries were left by the other party, and then the lord and the female elf sword dancer also appeared and sent reinforcements, so I chose to give up tracking and collecting information and come back to report to the adults. ”

"I see." Floris's voice was a little low, "So where are they now?" ”

"Heading to the royal capital of Lane."

"You let the Shadow Demon get ready, come with me to the royal capital this time, I have an urgent item that must be sent to His Majesty as soon as possible."

When he heard the name Shadow Demon, the Shadow Demon froze slightly, and immediately replied in a deep voice, "Yes." (To be continued......)
