On the Seven Towers

In the early morning, Yepes stood on the top of the entrance building of the Shadow Group branch as usual, looking at the royal capital under the morning light with his hands behind his back. He has always had the habit of walking in the dark, but he likes to watch the sun rise slowly, and he likes to look down on everything around him.

From the earliest days, he stood on the hillside behind the training camp of the Shadow Group, then he stood on the clock tower of a small town, and then he stood on the spire of the castle in Custer City. Until now, he stands on a On the building in the royal capital. Along the way, he saw countless radiant sunrises and countless shadows under the sun. He looked at the boulders of the Natural Temple in the distance, thinking that if he could stand there next, the sunlight he would see would be even brighter.

Seeing that the whole city was waking up minute by minute, Yepes jumped from the rooftop and returned to the Shadow Corps' headquarters. When he returned to his office, his confidant Edgar was already waiting for him at the door holding breakfast.

Yepes sat in his seat, picked up a piece of bread, flattened it into a small piece with his hands, and then threw it into his mouth. This was not only how he dealt with bread, but also how he dealt with his enemies.

Edgar did not leave after delivering breakfast. Instead, he stood in front of Yepes' table with his head slightly lowered.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Yepes quickly ate the large basket of bread in front of him.

"We have already found some clues about Roland and his group's unusual movements. There is indeed a problem."

"That's right, he's gone to the Knights of the Wind to recruit people. He must be playing some big trick."

"One of the people he recruited was from us. He finally heard that the people from the World Sect were preparing to launch a major attack on the remnants of the Temple of Wisdom. They got a picture of the location of the secret main hall of the Temple of Wisdom from a certain channel. Map. Roland did not tell Master Artu that he secretly intercepted this map and prepared to mobilize his troops to attack this place. "

"The secret main hall of the Temple of Wisdom? Really? Is this reliable?" Yepes got up from the backrest and leaned forward on the table.

"Judging from the information we have received, Roland is obviously very serious. He has persuaded many allies in the temple to provide support for his operation.

We managed to get a copy of the map, and then sent people around to do some confirmation. It also compared the news about the recent haunting of the Temple of Wisdom. The map is most likely real. "

"How could you actually get the map from him? Didn't he carry the original map with him in his storage ring?" Yepes asked.

"However, Roland also needs to verify the authenticity of the map. He always needs someone to coordinate his actions, and he also needs to provide evidence to convince his allies. Many people have seen this map. We have selected a few of them that are relatively insignificant. These characters made Brusuar take action."

"Is that the guy who's good at charm?"

"Yes, his charm technique has been practiced to the extreme. We successfully charmed four people, obtained information from their mouths, and then put them together to verify each other, and finally determined the map."

"Is it clean from beginning to end?"

"Brusuar is a level above these people. They won't remember anything."

"Hey, Roland wants to take credit. But if he breaks through the headquarters of the Temple of Wisdom, he will indeed pose a great threat to Master Artu. Although we have destroyed their temples many times over the past thousands of years. However, These people are like bugs, and they are always inexhaustible. Every time someone breaks through their main hall, they will become a hero for a while." Yepes pondered, "When was the last time they broke into their main hall. ?”

"That was over eight hundred years ago."

"Hmph, it seems that the wheat is ripe and it's time to harvest again. Judging from the current intelligence, how is the strength of the main hall of the Temple of Wisdom?"

"There has been no saint in the Temple of Wisdom for many years. Judging from our information, their high priest should be in the master realm, and the four third-level priests should all be high-level." Edgar hesitated, "But , it’s hard to tell if they have some hidden cards.”

"Well, we have to assume that they are all here, and there is backup. I am the only assassin master in the Shadow Regiment's capital branch. We also need to recruit some allies. I must contact Mr. Altu. It is best to mobilize another Let's go with the master." Yepes finished the last piece of bread and stood up and said, "Go and verify all the information carefully. If there are no problems, I will report this matter to Master Artu."

——————————————————

Not far from the natural temple made of boulders, there is a manor surrounded by greenery. This is where the priests of the Temple of Nature live.

In a small courtyard, Roland had just finished breakfast. Garneau, who was sitting opposite him, finished his last piece of bread and said, "Sir, I have a question."

"Say it." Roland smiled, as if he had already guessed what the other party needed to say.

"Breaking through the main hall of the Temple of Wisdom is a great achievement, and it can also shake Altu's position. Why don't we do it ourselves, but give the opportunity to this guy Yepes? Such an achievement can be recorded in the classics ." asked Garneau.

"Gano, everything is like a spider web, connected but hard to see. To understand the connection between things, sometimes you have to stand farther away and see more fully."

"Please give me some advice."

"What price do you think we need to pay for such a feat?"

"Well, some people will sacrifice? But it is normal to make sacrifices to build achievements."

"Will you sacrifice?"

"This..."

"Gano, you have a very powerful father, so many times you are used to looking at things from a high position. The higher the hawk flies, the harder it is to find the rabbit."

"Yes."

"I have read the records of previous attacks on the Temple of the Ancient God. There was not a single attack without great sacrifice. We must bring the most reliable allies, and we sacrifice our own strength. What we get is nothing but false reputation. Even if you want to be recorded in history, there are many ways to do it. Why use such a painful way? We are not those crazy people of the God's Arrival Sect. We are not crazy about the Ancient God. The followers of God are determined to kill them all.

If we let them go, it will be different. We will give the people of the Temple of Wisdom a warning at the last minute. I am afraid that Yepes will hit a wall if he goes there, and we can take advantage of his absence to do things that are usually inconvenient to do.

Do you know how many benefits this has? "

Gano thought for a while and said, "First, it weakens their power, then it strengthens our power in the capital, and then there is a reason to impeach Altu. So, it is much more beneficial than attacking by ourselves."

"Yes. But there is one last point. We have gained the friendship of Master Xiao Chen and those behind him. In my opinion, this may be more valuable than the previous ones. "
