Chapter 91 Unsettled Night
The nights in Istaren have not been peaceful recently. Perhaps the fire in the Ludern Temple has offended the gods. Murders of extremely bad nature have occurred in the city one after another. Almost every day, travelers from outside are beheaded in their sleep.Even if the city defense army tripled the number of night watchmen, it was unable to control the deteriorating situation, and people panicked for a while.

Of course, the so-called panic is only aimed at some caring people. The civilians living in the city are hardly aware of the tragedies that happened around them, and they are all looking forward to the activities held to celebrate the victory of the war.The dignitaries of the upper class didn't care too much about this, after all, those who died were insignificant outsiders.They are more concerned about the upcoming grand charity auction held by the imperial envoy.

Only Mad Dog Shet, the leader of the security force, is suffering from this headache, and the remnants of the Cursed Sect are hiding in the dark and trembling.

As night fell, the gate of the castle of the White Lion family was opened. Antonio dressed in costumes and walked side by side with Earl Snake. The melodious horn sounded from the tower, and the burning torches illuminated half of the night sky.This auction was specially arranged to be held after sunset, and all the nobles of the upper echelons of Istaron were invited. On the one hand, it was to respond to the call of the Ludern Temple to raise donations, and on the other hand, it was to show everyone that the lord still has great support for the city. Stay in control.

In the unlit tunnel on the other side of the castle, a secret army hidden under the young lord quietly assembled. Hundreds of soldiers in black battle robes lined up in a neat line and filed through the tunnel. out.

"I'm really sorry, it's urgent, I may not be able to accompany you for dinner tonight. If you need anything, you can tell my men directly."

Pross closed the untouched interrogation report, and said to the girl in the cell.

The floor is covered with soft Bowness wool carpets, and udon wood bookshelves filled with books stand by the wall. The window faces the green hills in the southwest of Istaren City, and there are dedicated maids on call at all times.

Although this place is called a prison cell, it has fully reached the standard of a high-end hotel in the city in all aspects. Even the office of Pross himself may not be so luxurious.In fact, for a silver caster, this is the standard treatment that should be taken for granted.

The four characters of silver rank are themselves a symbol of strength and status, and the status of the caster is obviously more prominent than that of the warrior.The only silver-level spellcasters in Istaron, the great magician Ampere and the great alchemist Stephen are both vice presidents and professors of public colleges, and the only reason they don't work as full-time jobs is because they hate being entangled in mundane affairs.Antonio must regard himself as a disciple in front of both of them.

Although it was declared to be a temporary detention investigation, in fact it was a disguised protection for Tiana.Antonio now has to compromise with the will of the Temple of Life, but that doesn't mean he'll be brainless enough to offend potential allies on the other side.

Even the Temple of Life knew very well that unless the girl was really bundled into rice dumplings and thrown into a dark dungeon chamber, it would be a joke to control a magician known for his ingenuity.

"Mr. Pross, what happened?" Tiana put down her teacup and asked softly.

"The auction held by the imperial envoy is about to begin, and the security issue cannot be ignored." Pross stood up, inadvertently revealing the bandage wrapped around his arm from his cuff.When fighting Langarlia, he suffered a lot because of his vicious attacks, and the injuries on his body have not fully healed until now, but his expression has always been indifferent, and nothing unusual can be seen from the surface.

"Will the lord also go?" Tiana asked again.

"Lord Earl Snake's kind invitation, this face must be given." Pross's tone was also quite resentful. Everyone knew that the atmosphere in Istaron is not very good now, and the lord will definitely be held responsible if he travels rashly. Security forces pose an enormous burden.

"The murderer who appeared recently seems to be very skilled. With your current recovery from injuries, I'm afraid you can't deal with that kind of opponent."

Tiana couldn't help but sighed as she looked at the dots of blood on the bandage on Prous's cuff, and took out a thumb-sized crystal cube from her pocket.

"If you need help, you can crush this amulet. This is a little wish from me, please accept it."

"Thank you very much for your generosity, and while I myself sincerely wish I hadn't been exposed to such an unfortunate situation, it's always a virtue to take precautions before they happen."

Pross nodded, took the amulet from the girl without any hesitation, and carefully placed it in his arms.The magic items produced by silver-level spellcasters are treasures that can be met but not sought after. If you refuse because of unnecessary suspicion, you are the biggest fool.

On the open-air platform on the top floor of the castle, Sister Maryvian repelled all the maids and servants, walked to the edge of the platform alone, and looked down at the long dragon composed of torches moving forward slowly.

"Looking at the night view of Istaren from here is indeed a special flavor..." A voice from behind chuckled.

"Xue Li, you still dare to come to see me?" Mary Wei An turned her head sharply and stared fiercely at the girl in black.

"Didn't you come out alone to see me?"

"I didn't let you kill!"

"You really know how to joke, am I your servant?"

Seeing Zifaxiu's uncertain face, Xue Li smiled slightly, put her right hand on her chest and bowed in greeting.

"The duty of the Dark Moon Brotherhood is to maintain the stability of the order. The behavior of the Cursed Sect and the priests of Ludern has crossed the bottom line of our tolerance. Our handling of this situation has always been simple and straightforward, whether you can accept it or not , we don’t really need to explain.”

"I finally know the reason why your Dark Moon Brotherhood is notorious." Maryvian gritted her teeth and said, when she learned of the tragedy at the Ludern Temple, she knew without guessing that it must have been done by Shirley.

The Dark Moon Brotherhood is secretly called "scavengers" in the sects of the gods. These crazy butchers usually regard themselves as righteous, and their favorite method is assassination... In fact, it can't be called assassination, they are just a means of killing He was very secretive, but he never bothered to cover up his own evidence, and even called it death to frighten Xiaoxiao.

"I have cleaned up the minions of the cursed sect lurking in Istaron, and now it's time for you to fulfill your promise." The smile on Shirley's face did not decrease by half because of Maryvian's vicious words. Like the professional standard smile of a waiter in a tavern.

It's just that the service provided is creepy and now it's time for the customer to foot the bill.

"Do you want to know clues about Pandora?" Maryvian looked at the long line of torches outside the castle: "Follow them, and you will find the answer from the imperial envoy."

"I'm very sorry, I'm not a smart person, can you please make it clear? If you just want to use my knife to deal with the imperial envoy, you have to pay the corresponding price." Shirley's face There was a hint of meaningful expression in his smile.

"I don't need you to kill people, bastard!" Marivian shouted angrily, shaking her fist, "One of our sisters may have been captured by their people, please help me rescue her. If you, a butcher, only If it’s going to kill someone, forget it.”

"The water here seems to be very deep."

"I don't know Pandora, but I've seen her mark." Maryvian ignored Shirley's temptation. She knew that any cover-up in front of this woman was meaningless, and she simply said what she really cared about. .

"The gold ring on the index finger of the imperial envoy's left hand is the mark of the Truth Society, and the ring on the next little finger is engraved with the mark of Pandora. It is a black eye. I don't know why you are looking for Pandora. Dora, but I would like to advise you, in the rumors of various sects, she is not a mortal..."
