Wizard From Afar

This is a very special organization.

It is everywhere, but few people really know it-even those who know it have only heard of the name, and cannot imagine its potential and energy.

assassin, killer, spy, underground intelligence network, executioner...Compatible and packaged, complete all the dirty work that needs to be done for the emperor and their leader.

In the eyes of some people who "know a little about this organization", those members who mastered weird magic and profound skills and are called "Night Watchmen" are the backbone of this organization.

They are so wrong.

It is true that all members of this organization can be members of Peak’s assassin, but assassination may be the most “unimportant” function of this organization. Only when it is extremely necessary will it be considered. military force.

Intelligence collection is their real terrifying place-the night watchmen in all corners of the empire dutifully hand over all the collected intelligence to the "single line" that connects with them; even if it is only The trivial things, even if they are accidents discovered unintentionally.

"But... it's these trivial things and accidents. The trivial information pieced together the most'detailed' state of the empire, putting the life and death of thousands of creatures in the palm of one person." Raised his eyebrows, Loren Significantly staring at Brandon:

"For example, I know that when I was fighting with the Centaur, there were more than a dozen night watchmen who sent intelligence day and night. Sent to the Sky Palace...at most a week, you can see my latest battle report."

Well...It's actually four days.

Brandon, who was sitting on the chair with his legs, opened his eyes wide and smiled awkwardly.

"His Majesty the Emperor in the Sky Palace relies on the intelligence network of the night watchman to control the entire empire." The black hair wizard's pupils shrank suddenly: "This...is the'humanity' you want to fight for. !"

"Rout Infinite may be dead, the Imperial Capital night watchman may have been completely destroyed, but the night watchmen in all parts of the empire are still waiting for orders and summon-now it is them The most vulnerable time, because they still don’t know that the high-level leaders have disappeared!"

"Take advantage of the fact that everyone hasn’t reacted yet, and cultivate a cronie who controls the night watchman organization and intelligence step by step across the empire. The net is the most important thing for us right now."

"Before becoming the emperor, first have the wrist that the emperor has...Is that right?" With his head tilted, Brandon’s eyes are like cats. Squinted:

"Controlling the intelligence network of the Imperial Night Watch and grasping the first-hand information, we can have absolute initiative, and even control the actions of the Imperial Brothers, threatening the Vault of Heaven. The cabinet and parliament are used by us?"

"This is not the fundamental purpose, but it is indeed one of the'welfare'." The black hair wizard shrugged: "The more important thing is such a powerful weapon and tool. In our hands, Connold is holding it...it’s dangerous."

"Even if it’s just for self-protection, it is extremely necessary to control them in our hands as soon as possible." Loren nodded : "Of course, if we do it, Connold should also think of doing this...so we must do it as soon as possible."

"So, I said that this is a top priority-the right time, the right place, the people and the... people Draw is the most important thing to reverse the situation and even turn defeat into victory!"

The air was quiet for one minute.

One minute later, Brandon, who was biting his thumb, slowly raised his head, and his scorching eyes stared at the black hair wizard in front of him without blinking.

"What...what are you doing?"

Loren, who was looking at him like this, was a little hairy, and subconsciously leaned against the back of the chair.

"It's nothing, just a little bit of emotion...Although I felt this way before, but now it is particularly strong." With a sincere smile, Brandon wiped his dry lips with a subconsciously tongue. :

"By the way...Although it’s too early to talk about this, but when I am crowned the Emperor of the Empire-whether it is the 13th or the 14th generation-I still need A trustworthy minister who can help me suppress the entire cabinet."

"Obviously, I will no longer use Metternich Leopold, nor will I use those gangs for my heart. I hate my Imperial Capital aristocrat. As for the emerging aristocrats, wizards, wealthy merchants with titles...it’s not impossible, but I’m afraid it’s hard to convince the crowd.” The more the Prince said, the more the smile on the corners of his mouth grew:

"So I thought...Of course this is not a promotion or promise. We are friends, and friends don’t talk about this...Loren Torino, my dear friend, do you have any interest in this area?"

"With me...ruling the empire?"

After finishing speaking, Brandon's "smiling" expression was fixed, and something called "expectation" flashed in his motionless eyes.

Huh?

Why... got it here?

But if there really is a chance, it’s not a bad idea — indeed, if you can master and integrate the resources of the entire empire, and then face the "Black Cross" Seror, your own grasp More...

No, wait a minute.

The black hair wizard's heart trembling fiercely, suddenly remembered something faintly.

"If you say why...have the consciousness of a natural ruler and can't distinguish between responsibility and power, how can you help others?"

"... If I were the Emperor of the Empire and Charlotte Torino was the Lord of Byrne and the Minister of the Seal...I would do my best to eradicate her completely, pull up by the roots..."

"Either it is the'Regent', or it is the'Power Minister'..."

Loren twitched his throat hard.

Brandon on the other side blinked and handed him a look of "what's wrong".

"No, nothing! Let's not talk about this!" The black hair wizard immediately turned off the topic: "The most important thing now is to find a suitable candidate as soon as possible, and we can absolutely trust him. The entire night watchman organization is integrated... before the news is leaked!"

"Yes, I guess the Imperial Brother will do the same thing sooner or later, so we have to take advantage of it. In front of them, do what should be done." Brandon was deeply convinced: "My dear Miss Fitronai, also has the authority of the night watchman!"

"Since it is a human and ', then who the'person' is... is particularly important." Loren lightly sighed, and suddenly laughed: "It happens that I have a particularly suitable candidate."

"You said that...actually I am There is also a particularly suitable one, and this guy can definitely believe it."

Lazily let go of his legs, Brandon, who was sitting on the chair, gave a meaningful smile: "And...I think we I think it’s probably the same person..."

……………………………………

"Sneeze——!"

In the cold wind, Edward, standing on the city gate of Thousand Tent City, sneezed vigorously.

Rubbing his nose, the night watchman looked back helplessly and looked towards behind him, sighed towards the ruined Thousand-Tented City.

Why do you always have to do so much extra work, and always doomsday?

Obviously it was originally an errand job, but was forcibly held by His Royal Highness Brandon and stayed for a whole month; finally he could leave and hit the Azores assassin again;

I thought it was just the last bait job, safe and risk-free, but in the end the tunnel door was blocked, and I was almost turned into a barbecue by the giant dragon Milassis in the castle with the gang of assassins;

Nine deaths and still alive have survived and will be "re-used" by His Royal Highness Brandon. During this period he secretly left (of course where he went), he concealed it for him, and at the same time shouldered part of the daily life Government affairs and intelligence collection work;

It’s simply unfathomable mystery …His Royal Highness Brandon, doesn’t he know whether he was sent to monitor him, or is he so broad-minded that he believes in himself as a “watcher” "Is it absolutely not going to harm him?"

Of course, there is nothing wrong with him thinking this way. This was originally the idea of ​​Lord Rutter Infinite; he tried his best to cooperate with His Royal Highness Brandon, just like Fitronite Princess Zhang cooperates with Connaught. His Royal Highness like that.

But no matter how you cooperate, the watcher is still the watcher; his loyalty is still Rout Infinite and His Majesty the Emperor first, and His Royal Highness Brandon second.

In addition, although I know this is because I think too much, Edward always feels that he is regarded by His Highness as a kind of cheap labor force that is particularly easy to use...

, Must be thinking too much; well, it must be.

Edward the night watchman sighed again.

"Master Edward!"

A silhouette appeared behind the night watchman, bowing his head respectfully, and under one-knee kneels: "For what you need, stay in Thousand Tent City The three Legion intelligences have been sent."

Is it so fast?

"Very good." He concealed his astonishment, looked towards the youngster behind him with a stiff expression.

My lord... he is still very uncomfortable with this name, and the look of awe and respect when others look at him.

"Read."

"As you bid!" The young entourage did not notice any abnormality, and stood up with his hands behind his back: "We investigated all the middle and lower-level officers of the three Legion , There is generally no dissatisfaction; because His Royal Highness has always treated them very well, and his salary and supplies have never been in arrears."

"As for the upper-level generals, especially the banner commander and the banner officer, The commander of the cavalry and infantry...seems to have long been accustomed to His Royal Highness's behavior, and there is no abnormality or movement."

Looking at the young entourage who lowered his head after speaking, Edward finally couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Three Legions, including nearly 30,000 people in the auxiliary corps, there are also thousands of soldiers at the bottom...It has only been one night since they gave the order, and they have all collected them.

This kind of work that used to have to work all night long, now only needs to give an order to speak.

It’s... an unprecedented experience.

After nearly half a minute, Edward said slowly: "Next time, I don’t want to hear roughly and seemingly words like this."

"Yes! The subordinates will do their best. !"

The fearful young follower trembled even his shoulders.

"How's the contact with the Imperial Capital headquarters?" Edward turned his head over, he was still very uncomfortable: "Any order or information, has it been sent recently?"

"No...not only there is no order and information, but even the regular communication in the past has been cut off." The young entourage shook his head: "Even if the Chief-In-Charge of the joint was killed in the past, at least there will be emergency intelligence sent... this time Nothing."

That is to say... Assassin of Yasul also launched a raid on Imperial Capital's sky palace.

Edward frowned, thinking about the seriousness of the problem.

Imperial Capital's night watchman headquarters is the center of the entire organization, and it is the most important intelligence network. Semi-independent organization divided by regions and duchy.

No matter what he thought, he didn't think that Ruth Infinite and His Majesty the Emperor would sit back and watch this happen.

Moreover, Imperial Capital’s intelligence network is in chaos at the moment, filled with a lot of gray information that is difficult to distinguish between authentic and false; this kind of so sophisticated smoke bomb looks like the standard style of a night watchman at all — otherwise Who else can have such ability?

"Continue to think of a way, do everything possible to contact the headquarters of Imperial Capital, and find the connector as quickly as possible." Edward said calmly: "Also, there is a message about Imperial Capital. Send it...regardless of the authenticity."

"Obviously, the subordinates will do it!" The young entourage was very active and nodded, and said immediately, as if impatiently, "Also, over there by Byrne …His Royal Highness Brandon sent a message, marked as top secret."

Top secret?

Receiving the letterhead from the respectful entourage in surprise, Edward glanced quickly.

In the next second, his expression instantly solidified, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

This...this...

This must be proposed by Loren Torino, right? !

That lunatic! Fanatic! The villain of base and shameless! It's really true, really want to do things to this point...

"I said..." Edward raised his brow suddenly, and stared at the entourage in front of him with cold eyes:

p>

"You, did you read this letter?"

"Pu Tong!"

Without any hesitation, the young entourage immediately knelt to the ground, deeply Lowered his head: "I'm extremely sorry, but the subordinate was very surprised when the letter was delivered, so I couldn't help it..."

"Can't help...I opened my eyes and glanced secretly, and I felt that I would not be noticed. Come?"

"Subordinates, subordinates don't dare! Don't dare!"

so that's how it is, because of this...he would treat himself so respectfully, no matter how difficult it is The mission can be accomplished so efficiently...

The night watchman organization that used to explore and guard secrets as its mission has also begun the corruption of little by little, taking these "secrets" as wealth in its own hands. NS?

Edward sighed, put away the letterhead, and turned away in silence.

The young entourage who bowed his head was covered in cold sweat, but the corner of his mouth was slightly smiling.

Won, you bet to win!

Sure enough, there is no wrong guess. Compared with the old and rigid tradition of the night watch, what the superiors really value is the efficiency of command execution; as long as they can complete the task at the fastest speed, anyone will not hate a useful tool...

"pu ——!"

The last word in my mind was "blocked" by the spear sticking out of my mouth .

"We are the night watchmen in the shadow of the empire..." The young entourage who spurted blood in his mouth, Edward's voice rang in his ears:

"We...are not ambitious!"
