"What movements has the target made these few days?"
Yue Yue was wearing a cloak, hiding her appearance and figure, as well as the sword at her waist. Only her eyes were exposed as she followed behind a group of people.
"His life is very regular. Every day, other than going shopping, he would visit some scholars and borrow books. Of course, he would also go to the Mercenary Association to report, as if he was afraid that no one would be able to find him …"
The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who was in charge of watching Wu Ming replied indignantly, "Also … This guy is quite rich, whether it's food or accommodation, they are all top notch …"
Yue Yue looked at the dry rations in her hands. Just like the others, her expression did not look good.
This time, they had taken on a mission from the family to secretly investigate.
Since it was a secret operation, they naturally could not attract too much attention. Any extravagant actions that attracted attention were prohibited.
However, the other party did not have such concerns. Seeing the young man throwing around large amounts of gold coins every day, even Yue Yue felt that it was unfair.
They were both tracking the Ouroboros, but why was there such a huge difference in treatment?
In reality, if not for the fact that Wu Ming already knew about this group of people when he was at the Mercenary Association, how could he have allowed them to follow him for such a long time?
"Let's wait for another two days!"
The white goateed Second Uncle had a conflicted expression, "If there is still no movement, we will set off!"
Even if it was him, seeing the other party eat delicacies every day while he could only drink cold water, eat dry rations, and sleep in tents, he felt extremely unhappy.
"We should have done this long ago!"
Other than Yue Yue, everyone cheered. Just as the goateed man was about to continue speaking, another person suddenly rushed over, "There's a situation!"
"Hmm?"
The goateed Second Uncle's face revealed a look of joy, "The Ouroboros organisation has taken action?"
"No!"
The person who had changed shifts had a conflicted expression, "It's the people from the Temple, a church in the West, they have found our target!"
"For no reason, I'm afraid it's only because of the Ouroboros Ring …"
Second Uncle fiercely pounded his fist, "This is called luring the snake out of its hole! We are unfamiliar with the people and the place, but the power of the churches in the West is very complicated, there should be clues in this area! "
"If that's the case …"
A trace of doubt appeared on Ying Yue's face, "Why didn't the imperial court directly send a letter to the Western countries and request the Church to cooperate with the investigation? Instead, they offered a reward and asked our aristocratic families to take action?"
"Hehe … Little Yue, you're still too inexperienced. Do you really think that our empire and the western countries are like brothers, like a family?"
Second Uncle Goatee sneered.
She immediately thought of the filth and strife between the upper echelons and the countries. She could not help but shake her head as a trace of sadness appeared on her face.
"Not good!"
A young man next to him shouted, "If that hothead solves the case by a fluke, what should we do?"
"Yes, this is the most worrisome matter!"
Second Uncle stroked his beard. "Let's go to him as soon as possible and lay all our cards on the table … I wonder which force sent these spies. They actually don't know the rules …"
He was obviously trying to steal the credit. He didn't dare to take the risk himself, but he couldn't bear to see others reap the rewards either.
Although Full Moon felt that something was amiss, looking at the looks of agreement on everyone's faces, she remained silent and shook her head.
…
Wu Ming naturally knew that the number of people following him had been increasing over the past few days.
However, he couldn't wait for the Ouroboros Clan to come knocking on his door, so he naturally let it be.
What he didn't expect was that the first to come knocking was not from the Ouroboros Clan, but the Church of the Night.
"Greetings, Mister Wu Ming from the East!"
In front of him was a row of church warriors dressed in black, the holy insignia on their chests was a crescent moon in the dark night.
In front of the paladins was a tall, mature, and beautiful female priest.
She wore a purple priest robe and covered half her face with a veil, revealing only a pair of eyes that were as bright as the stars.
"I'm a servant of the Night Goddess, you can call me Basha!"
"Good day, Madam!"
Wu Ming said casually, "Why did you come looking for me? Is it because of this? "
He stretched out his left hand, on which he wore a black Ouroboros Ring.
"That's right, but it's not convenient to talk about it here!"
Basha looked at the crowd that had gathered out of curiosity, "I wonder if you're willing to go somewhere with me? I think we'll have a lot of common topics to talk about!"
Her eyes that could speak flashed, and coupled with her alluring and seductive voice, it was enough to drive any male creature crazy.
"I've always been impolite when it comes to an invitation from a beauty!"
Wu Ming rubbed his nose, "By the way, if you remove your veil, it might be more effective!"
Basha was stunned.
As a priest who served the Night Goddess, she was born with a point in Charm.
This was not a spiritual spell, and could not be defended against, but it gave her a certain advantage when dealing with men.
But now, this person in front of her completely ignored her Charm.
'Ascetic?! No, he's not … '
She looked at the luxurious robe on Wu Ming, as well as the information she had recently gathered about his lifestyle. She immediately denied the conjecture that Wu Ming was an Eastern ascetic.
"What are you waiting for?"
While she was in a daze, Wu Ming was already urging her to get on the road, as if he could not wait any longer.
"Alright, please follow me, Your Excellency!"
Basha did not think any further, and led Wu Ming to the outskirts of the city, getting on a black carriage.
"Because of an agreement with the local lord, we've moved some buildings that are inconvenient to be built in the port to the outskirts …"
The carriage slowly set off, with many paladins guarding it. Basha stretched lazily, and asked after explaining, "Now, can you tell me, which force in the east do you represent? The imperial court? The aristocratic families? The Union? Or something else? "
Her star-like eyes stared straight at Wu Ming.
"I don't represent anyone, I only represent myself!"
Wu Ming spoke the truth, "I'm interested in the Ouroboros Organisation, that's all!"
"That's not an interesting thing!"
Basha shook her head, obviously treating what Wu Ming had said before as a lie, "The Ouroboros Organisation is very dangerous, and there's even an Evil God behind it! Any outsider who knows inside information about this organisation will not be able to escape the fate of being silenced! "
"Then how much does the Lady of the Night's Church know about this organisation?"
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows, and asked without changing his expression.
"You're not afraid at all?"
This time Basha was completely shocked, "Do you know the concept of an Evil God? They're evil and cruel, crazier than demons, more cunning than devils. Even if you hear their voice, you'll be tainted with sin and fall into the abyss! "
'Come on! Aren't they just some level-six or level-seven gods? At most, they're the same as the Celestial Supremacy … '
Wu Ming rolled his eyes in his heart, but said, "We're all here on a mission. You should know that I can't retreat before I figure out this organisation and the conspiracy against the east!"
"Now, tell me everything about this Ouroboros Organisation!"
He slightly emphasized his tone, and there was a natural effect of his words being the law.
Basha was originally unwilling to answer, but at this time, she involuntarily blurted out, "We don't know much about this organisation. We only know that it's a secret society that worships the Ouroboros. There's a group of high-grade professionals in it, with the Black Serpent Ring as their symbol. The members of the organisation are ranked according to the number of snakes they have. There's also a special assassination unit called the 'Burial Men'! They've caused many killings and assassinations, and even caused the death of a king … It's because of the king's death that our church noticed this evil organisation … "
"Really … boring!"
Wu Ming listened, but was very disinterested, "I thought there'd be something new, like where their nest is, who the specific leaders are …"
"If we knew, would we still need to look for you?"
Basha rolled her eyes, and immediately tensed up, "No, what spell did you cast on me?"
She subconsciously looked at the amulet hanging around her neck, and saw that it was fine and didn't seem to be activated at all. She was even more alarmed.
This amulet had received the blessing of the goddess, and was immune to most psychic spells.
Even if it encountered the legendary Dream Builders, Spirit-sucking Demons, and other masters who specialized in psychic spells, it would be enough to send a warning.
But now, this young man in front of her had bypassed the blessing of the goddess and directly exerted influence on her.
"Don't be nervous!"
Wu Ming smiled, and suddenly tilted his head, "But … you're still useful after all. At least you've lured them out, haven't you?"
"They?"
Basha was startled, and then she realized that the carriage had stopped without her knowing.
She lifted the curtain and looked at the paladin outside, "Why did you stop? We … "
She stopped abruptly in the middle of her sentence, because the paladin sitting on the coachman's seat had softly fallen down.
"God of Meng summoned them?"
Basha was shocked, "Be careful!"
After the coachman fell down, several mysterious people in cloaks suddenly appeared in front of her.
Originally, the carriage was going to take Wu Ming to a suburban stronghold of the Church of Dark Night. But now, Basha found that the surrounding environment was not the way to the stronghold at all.
The black forest was so dense that it almost blocked out the sun's rays.
"Who … are you?"
She secretly clenched several scrolls and asked nervously.
As a priest, face-to-face combat was never her strong point.
"Paladin Jesse!"
She shouted, and to her horror, she found that the paladins guarding around the carriage were falling down one by one.
"Ha, ha … it's useless …"
With a charming laugh, a blonde girl slowly walked out of the dense forest. Her coquettish face was full of a crazy smile, "You two are the only survivors around the carriage … I'm coming to take care of you. Be good!"
