Chapter 408 Lost
The bard sitting at the door plucked the three-stringed qin, repeating a slightly sad tune intermittently in his mouth. This is a tune he improvised, telling the story of escaping from Istaron.Maybe it's because I haven't practiced my profession for too long, and I seem a little rusty, and I haven't got the rhyme well after tossing and tossing for a long time.

The clumsy performance was quickly ridiculed by the gray goblins. The bard, who was furious, immediately countered by the quality of the food last night.

This foul language did not affect Gao Wen's mood, but instead provided him with a space to talk.If the tavern was too quiet, he would stand out as an outsider.Gao Wen was not sure about the true identities of the two officers, if he asked them rashly in full view, it might attract the attention of those who cared.

There were already two or three empty wine bottles piled up on the desks of the two officers, and they seemed to be slightly drunk. This decadent appearance made Gawain slightly frown. He walked to the two men, sat down and said in a low voice. : "Truth endures forever."

Kevin, who had just brought the wine glass to his mouth, paused, raised his head hesitantly, looked at Gawain's cold face, and blinked blankly.It's not that his acting skills are so good, but that he's really drunk.

What are the script lines?Kevin scratched his head, unable to hold back a drop of cold sweat.People who are in a bad mood are easy to get drunk, and he was already a little dizzy without knowing it. Looking at the expression of his boss on the other side, he didn't seem to be able to react. The gin recommended by Miss Laurana really deserves it. It was old wine, and he was so confident in his drinking capacity that he couldn't hold two bottles.

"Excuse me, who are you...?" Kevin collected himself, and seeing that General Hank hadn't spoken, he moved his body to make room for the young man in front of him.At this time, he also gradually recalled that Miss Laurana said that she could play freely, and the main purpose was to test the attitude of the Truth Society through this young man. Since it is a test, the easiest way is to sit down and chat after pretending to meet by chance.

It doesn't matter what to talk about, as long as the young man speaks, the young lady can analyze enough information.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is your identities?" Gao Wen sat down and looked at the silent General Hank and said coldly. Although it was the young officer who spoke to him, he could see that the real The master is still the middle-aged man in front of him.

"I don't have any identity, I'm just a defeated soldier. Would you like a drink? This wine is good..." General Hank bit the cork of the wine bottle and said vaguely.

"Sorry, I don't drink. Which of the seven garrisons do you belong to?" Seeing General Hank's negative expression, Gawain's face couldn't help but gloomy.

"No one." General Hank shook his head. When Gao Wen said the words of the seven garrison troops, his face couldn't help showing disappointment.To this day, even among the internal members of the Truth Society, I am afraid that not many people still remember those ancient secrets.

This is a dilemma that a secret organization must face. It has too many secrets to keep, but in the end, even I don't remember what secrets I am keeping.The long-term changes and unpredictable natural and man-made disasters will cause the loss of inheritance. Even the night watchmen themselves have lost their previous inheritance, so how can they expect others to remember their existence?
Seeing General Hank's expression, Gawain was silent for a moment, and asked tentatively: "You don't look like the rangers of the Emerald Valley, are you the land watchers of Tahiti?"

"No, we are the night watchmen, of course you haven't heard of it, right?" Seeing Gao Wen's puzzled look, Kevin's heart was cold, and he couldn't help but say.

"Night watchman?" Gawain's eyes flashed with thought, and he asked hesitantly: "I saw this name in the records of the Palace of Truth, the night watchman of Dimiant, wasn't it 300 years ago Has it been cancelled?"

"Young man, if you have read the historical documents of the Truth Society itself, you will know that each of the twelve sages who founded the Truth Society had a secret power under their own control, which is the current guard force. Rangers, Both the Earth Monitor and us belong to one of the five garrison troops that were promoted to the secrecy rank."

General Hank raised his head, looked into Gao Wen's eyes, and said word by word.

"For what reason?" Gao Wen asked.

"There is no reason, or we are not qualified to know the reason." General Hanke shook his head and said with a dull interest: "Of course, these are irrelevant now, we have lost the value of use, and now we are nothing more than eating and waiting to die .”

"What happened?" Gao Wen asked with a serious face.

General Hank shrugged his shoulders and briefly summarized what happened in the underground ruins, in which the personal images of El, Roger and others were appropriately deleted.But even so, it took nearly half an hour to explain clearly from beginning to end.

"Quesalas? He's a member of the Shadow Council?" Gawain's face changed slightly after hearing Quesalas' name. He shook his head and said to himself, "Impossible. It's not surprising that your army was originally under the command of the parliament. But Quesalas, the snob holding a woman's thigh, can never have a seat in the shadow council."

"Is there any difference? Since he has obtained the access to the night watchman's portal, it means that he does have the status of a high-level leader of the Truth Society." Hearing Gao Wen say this, General Hanke couldn't help but say.

"You usually lack contact with the outside world, so you don't know the current situation." Gao Wen said in a low voice with a gloomy face: "The current Truth Society has completely degenerated."

"How is it possible?" General Hank retorted subconsciously. Although he was disheartened by Quesaras' betrayal, deep down in his heart, he still had a glimmer of illusion about the glory he had fought for.

"I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself after talking for a long time." Gao Wen's eyes flickered, and instead of continuing to discuss this topic, he extended his hand to General Hank and said, "My identity used to be the prosecutor of the Palace of Truth." Officer, now I am the liaison envoy stationed in Silver Ingot Fort, in fact, I am exiled in a disguised form...you can call me Gao Wen."

"Mr. Gawain, I am Brown Hank, the Supreme Commander of the Night Watch, and this is my lieutenant, Kevin." General Hank looked directly into Gawain's eyes and asked bluntly, "Where did the Truth appear?" what is the problem?"

"It's inconvenient to talk here, let's talk in another place." Gao Wen looked at the surrounding environment and said cautiously.

"There is no safe place outside. Apart from the ruins, this is a wasteland. My brother and I were camping in the open air last night." General Hanke shook his head and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it here. What is going on? ? Let us die to understand!"

Gawain was still a little hesitant, but at this moment, a beautiful tavern maid came over with a plate, put a steaming pot of potato stew on the table, bent down with a sweet smile, and asked softly in front of Gawain: He said: "This young and handsome gentleman, I don't know what kind of drink you want to order? I don't think you are a rude person. Why don't you have a glass of Waldo's brandy?"

Gao Wen subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he smelled the faint scent of roses on the maid, his mind was involuntarily confused, and he said out of nowhere, "Then have a drink."

Under the strange gazes of General Hank and Kevin, Gao Wen, who had just claimed that he didn't drink, actually took the wine glass from the maid and gave him an extra tip of two gold coins.

"Oh, hell." Kevin turned his head and whispered to himself. He saw the boss at the bar with a surprised expression.

"The leader has gone crazy."

After taking a sip of the wine, Gao Wen's face flushed immediately. Sure enough, it was not an excuse for him to say that he didn't drink, but at this moment he didn't notice anything unusual about him, but what he said was a bit shocking.

"This is not news. In the eyes of outsiders, the truth will be crazy from top to bottom." Kevin sneered.Perhaps because of his youthful vigor, after being betrayed by Quesalas and killing his comrades in arms, his loyalty to the Truth Society collapsed completely, and he became the most radical opponent since then.

"No, the leader is really crazy...Since the accident 300 years ago, the power of the Truth Society has been weakening, and the Shadow Council's seclusion has taken away a large part of the hidden power, such as You... your names have disappeared for a long time, and now only a few words can be found in the records of the Temple of Truth."

People who never drink alcohol naturally don't have a good capacity for alcohol, and Gao Wen's capacity for alcohol is obviously even worse. Just one sip of wine opened up the chatterbox, and all kinds of explosive black history were blurted out.

"What condiments did you add to his wine?" El couldn't help but secretly asked Laurana.

"That is a glass of top-quality Waldo brandy ten years old, the precious collection of Prince Roms, with rich fruity aroma and delicate taste, even the first-time drinker will not feel any discomfort. Of course - without any added ingredients."

Laurana played with the rose petals in her hand, showing her cute little canine teeth, and said with a soft smile: "Don't you care about the profit of this glass of wine now, boss? Although the price of twenty gold coins sounds a little scary, but at the inside price In other words, I gave him a [-]% discount. Of course, boss, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it, as we were originally doing business without money.”

"Damn rich man, this glass of wine topped my old man's outfit back then."

El has been paying attention to Gawain's movements out of the corner of his eyes, and found that he actually took another sip unsuspectingly, and couldn't help but ask Laurana in a low voice: "Such a trap full of flaws, even if he is The pig should have sensed something was wrong, right? What did you do?"

"Your point of view is too objective, Boss." Laurana stretched out her hands and moved her fingers in front of El, and smiled maliciously: "Since you are so curious, why don't you experience it for yourself?"
