Edersen slowly walked around Aïtantin Castle.
It wasn't that he had never been to Aïtantin Castle. In his memory, Aïtantin Castle had always been prosperous and lively. Back then, during the winter, the castle was always crowded with people.
Now, a few decades had passed.
Aïtantin Castle was even livelier than before.
But …
He didn't see any familiar faces.
He looked at the inn in the civilian district beside the road.
In his memory, this inn was owned by one of his buddies. Back then, many people were happy to come here.
His buddies loved to laugh. He was young back then, but he was very strong. It was just that when he drank too much, he would strip naked and run around.
Then, he …
He should have died in that battle.
That guy would have died with a smile on his face.
Because that guy once said that dying with a smile was better than dying with a cry.
He was a free and easy guy.
Kieran couldn't compare.
His heart was filled with hatred.
He really wanted to rush into the 'prison' and kill those bastards.
However, he couldn't just go in like that.
He would alert the enemy!
He had to wait for a while.
That was the only way for more prey to appear.
…
Sitting in his house in the Central Third Ring, Luncar was reading a book.
However, his unfocused vision was enough to prove that he was just putting on an act.
"Why is there no movement?
"Was there an accident?"
"Impossible!"
"My plan is flawless!"
The anxiety in his heart made Luncar shake his head. This time was different from the past, he would not allow failure!
Luncar suppressed the bad feeling.
However, the more agitated he felt, the more he couldn't keep up the act anymore.
Pak!
He threw the book on the table and wanted to go out.
However, the moment he opened the door, pain spread from his heart.
Bang!
His chest heaved up and down before exploding.
Luncar fell to the ground.
His heart was blown to bits.
Bits of meat mixed with some yellow fat splattered on the door.
The room fell into dead silence.
More than 10 minutes later, Luncar climbed up again.
His face was gloomy.
Without cleaning up the scene, he turned around and walked towards the basement.
The entrance to the basement was in the kitchen. Pushing open the cupboard that was used as a cover, he quickly rushed in and pounced on the corpse that had been prepared in advance.
After biting and chewing, Luncar returned to normal.
He tore off his blood-soaked clothes.
He took out brand new clothes from the cupboard on the side.
In the cabinet, there were not only brand-new clothes and boots, but also wigs, fake beards, three anonymous Gold Purton drafts worth around a thousand gold coins, scattered coins, and a brand-new musket, bullets, and dagger.
It was Karl's turn to wear a wig and a beard.
Then, after some hesitation, he put three 1,000 Gold Purton bills of exchange into his inner pocket. Money was useful at all times.
Then, after putting the change into his outer pocket, he conveniently picked up the weapons that he had prepared in advance. These weapons might be useless against powerhouses, but they could definitely solve some unnecessary problems.
Without a doubt, his plan had failed.
The puppet had been killed, or something else.
However, it was an indisputable fact that he had been discovered.
Then …
What would happen next?
Luncar really did not want to think about it after his fantasy succeeded, but he had to force himself to think about it. It made his temples throb.
First, he had to leave this place.
This place was no longer safe.
Secondly, he had to contact Councilman Colipo.
Lastly, he had to think of a reason to convince Councilman Colipo … No, this time was different from the past.
He had no reason to convince Councilman Colipo.
Once Councilman Colipo knew the truth, he would surely kill him.
Otherwise, he would torture him for a while before killing him.
Things had escalated to the worst stage.
Then, might as well …
"Sssss!"
Luncar, who had made up his mind, suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from the deepest part of his brain. He gasped coldly.
He knew it was the backlash of his secret technique.
The secret technique that could control others wasn't some child's play, it was something extremely dangerous.
Enduring the pain, Luncar turned around and walked to the cupboard.
He took out the potion that he had hidden in the cupboard's secret compartment.
In order to deal with the possible danger, Luncar had prepared for a long time.
Unfortunately, it could only be used once.
With a sigh, Luncar drank the potion in the test tube. After relieving the pain in his brain, he walked towards the secret passage.
It was a secret passage that led to the neighboring street block.
At the end of the secret passage was a civilian house.
It was a lodging point for a merchant from another city when he came to Aïtantin Castle. There was nothing wrong with it. Luncar's secret passage was dug out without the merchant's knowledge.
After pushing open the modified secret door, Luncar crawled out from under the bed in the merchant's servant's room.
He then opened the window, jumped into the yard, bypassed the servants in the front yard, and arrived on the street.
The entire process was silent and unobtrusive.
Luncar glanced around, and after he didn't notice anything unusual, he headed straight to the civilian district.
He would never go to the prison.
He was very confident that there would be an ambush waiting for him there.
He knew all too well about the Demon Hunter's methods.
So, he had to return to Silent Night Town!
Only there would he have the chance to catch his breath.
However, in order to avoid the possible watchers, he kept using his anti-detection techniques and even left his mark behind from time to time.
It wasn't to confuse.
It was to attract.
That was the only way that the possible watchers would keep a close eye on him.
Then …
Locate Silent Night Town!
The moment he found Silent Night Town, he would be safe.
He believed the watchers would have their eyes on Silent Night Town.
Of course, he had to grasp the timing.
Not too early.
If it was too early, he wouldn't be able to run.
He couldn't be late either.
If it was too late, it would be useless. His plan would fail again.
Strolling along the street, Luncar felt the cold wind of the Northern Land. The pain in his brain was slowly recovering with the potion, and he couldn't help but slow down his breathing to speed up the recovery process.
It was then that he started to think about more things.
"No!
"This plan is too crude."
It's full of loopholes and … the forces on my side are too weak. I don't even have any guarantee! I need a guarantee! At least someone who can keep me safe for now! "
Luncar shook his head.
However, he didn't reject his previous plan, he just hoped that it would be safer.
So, he thought of a person: Clairehore the Undying!
Clairehore was a good candidate.
Not just because of his strength, but also because of the councilman behind him. He would be very happy to see Luncar's plan.
Of course, I must make it sound better.
With that thought in mind, Luncar turned around.
He returned to the Central Third Ring's commercial district from the civilian district and headed towards the merchant's residential area.
Houses were spread all over the place.
Each house was a three-story independent building with a garden, but there was no fountain or sculptures.
Compared to the shabby civilian district, the place looked luxurious.
However, compared to the history of the nobles, this place was a little shallow and not big enough.
It was the address left behind by Clairehore the Undying.
He could contact Clairehore if he had to.
When Luncar knocked on the door, he saw Clairehore the Undying with furrowed brows.
"I've said it before, don't come to me unless you have no other choice!"
Horlaika looked at the Instigator in front of him with an indescribably cold tone.
However, deep in his heart, he was astonished.
Why would the Instigator come to him?
Based on Kieran's speculations, the failed Instigator should be crying to Councilman Colipo, wagging his tail and begging for mercy.
As for his teacher's failure?
Horlaika never thought about it.
Not to mention an Instigator.
Even if the councilmen made a move, it wouldn't be possible.
Kieran's teacher wasn't a common person.
Could it be …
Swiftly, Horlaika thought of something. He was shocked by his own thought because it was too crazy, but only this explanation could explain why the Instigator came to him.
Kieran suppressed the shock in his heart.
Horlaika maintained his coldness.
"We really have reached the point where we have no other choice."
"My previous mission failed," Han Shuo said.
Can you let me in?
I don't want my words to be heard by others.
Although I think I've shaken them off, I don't want you to be frightened by what I'm about to say. "
A bitter smile appeared on Luncar's face.
"You … deserve to die!"
Horlaika grunted coldly, but he still stepped aside to let them pass.
Seeing Horlaika step aside, Luncar walked in right away. When he walked past Horlaika, the bitter smile showed a sense of delight. He knew his collaborator too well.
Although Luncar's abilities were magical, he was extremely cautious.
He wouldn't take risks and wouldn't seek for greater benefits.
Most of the time, he would just follow orders.
Using danger to scare a person like Luncar was the most suitable choice.
The delight was gone in a flash. When Horlaika reached his side, Luncar turned around and said, "I found Snake school hiding among us!"
Huh?!
I've been discovered?!
Instinctively, Horlaika squinted his eyes, killing intent surging.
But right after that, he kept his killing intent away.
If he was really discovered, it wouldn't just be an Instigator.
At least, a councilman should have appeared.
Was Luncar trying to trick him?
As expected …
It was a little rash to contact his teacher with the Mist in a hurry.
But I can make up for it!
Horlaika thought in his heart.
Luncar, who was immersed in his own act, didn't notice Horlaika's unusual reaction.
He was still talking.
"That's right!
It's because of this Snake school that I failed my mission!
Fortunately, I left some tricks up my sleeves, allowing me to know the identity of that Snake school! "
Luncar then looked at Horlaika.
He was waiting for Horlaika to ask.
However, to Luncar's disappointment, the Undying was able to remain calm.
At least on the surface, he was calm.
Damn it!
Was he afraid of death to this extent?
Was he afraid of getting into trouble because he knew too much?
He didn't even want to take the slightest risk?
Luncar cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he asked, "Aren't you curious about his identity?
"You should go find Milne!"
Or Councilman Colipo!
They will surely be interested. "
Horlaika said calmly. His right hand, which was hidden behind his back, was clenched tightly.
He was ready to strike with Thunder, ready to strike.
"No!
I can't meet Councilman Colipo!
Because … "
"He is one of the members of Snake school that infiltrated Silent Night Secret Order!"
Luncar shook his head and said with a loud voice.
"What?"
Horlaika couldn't keep his calm anymore, even his clenched fist behind his back trembled.
"Surprised?"
Believe me, when I heard the news, I was more surprised than you can imagine.
I never thought there would be someone from Snake school that infiltrated Silent Night Secret Order.
But think about it, don't you find it strange how the organization has performed in recent years, or even in the past decade?
"They clearly have an absolute advantage, but they always lose inexplicably."
I've had my doubts before this, so I've been extra careful during every operation.
And this time, I've finally caught that 'spy'! "
Luncar looked at the astonished Horlaika, feeling even more delighted in his heart. He was praising himself for being quick-witted. He spoke faster and faster, and in the end, Luncar completely believed what he said.
There was an infiltrator in Silent Night Secret Order!
The infiltrator was Councilman Colipo!
Horlaika had calmed down by then. He looked at Luncar, who was getting more excited as he spoke, and doubts flashed over his heart.
What was it that made Luncar mistakenly give his' credit 'to Colipo?
Horlaika couldn't understand it at all.
But he was happy to do it.
He was happy to have someone else take the blame for him.
What else could be better than this?
The one who took the blame must be someone with enough power and influence.
Horlaika could already imagine what would happen if everything went smoothly.
One of the 17 councilmen would be a Snake School Monster Hunter!
Silent Night Secret Order would surely cause a huge commotion!
With that in mind, Horlaika spoke without a second thought.
"Come, let's go see Councilman Kurtzargert."
Horlaika said.
"No!
We can't go!
Because … "
"We don't know whether Councilman Kurtzargert is from Snake school or not!"
Luncar said in a serious tone.
Horlaika was stunned, looking at Luncar blankly. If he wasn't a Snake school Monster Hunter and made sure he didn't have any companions, he would have doubted Luncar's words.
"Then what should we do?"
Horlaika asked in a heavy tone.
After that, he planned to look for an opportunity to borrow the power of the fog to pass this news to his teacher.
Luncar straightened his body, looked at Horlaika, and said word by word.
"Ring the Silent Night Bell!"
"Gather and stop everyone!"
Start the Council Meeting! "
