Ludus was very cooperative, standing there without moving a muscle.
He didn't know how the assassin managed to sneak into his place.
However, the assassin's technique was beyond imagination.
At least among all the people that Kieran knew, the assassin was almost unique.
Of course, it didn't mean Kieran wouldn't really cooperate.
He was just obeying on the surface.
In the dark, a power that didn't belong to a human started to gather.
It was very obscure.
A common man's intuition couldn't even detect it.
Even a Demon Hunter would have a hard time noticing it, unless it was someone who was really good at tracking.
However, based on what Ludus knew, the infamous Tracker among the Demon Hunters was already a dead man. In other words, Ludus didn't have to worry.
He could boldly let this bastard, who thought he had everything under control, die a graveless death.
Kieran was eager to see that happen.
He needed the assassin's cooperation.
Ludus started to rack his brain, thinking about the questions that the assassin would ask.
He had prepared a half-truth, half-lie answer.
He believed his answer would make the assassin believe him.
He even prepared what kind of expression he would show when the time came.
However, at the very next moment …
Ludus felt a scorching heat erupt from the hand that was squeezing his neck and engulf him.
The pain made him open his mouth, wanting to scream.
However, the fire burned his vocal cords a moment ago.
Ha-Hah!
Like a broken bellows, after two convulsions, Ludus was reduced to ashes.
Until his death, the councilman didn't understand why Kieran suddenly made a move.
Based on the normal procedure, shouldn't it be an interrogation?
Did Kieran notice his unusual movements?
But even if he did, shouldn't Kieran pressure him even more? Shouldn't he seize the upper hand and seize the initiative to get more answers?
"Got a good look?"
Kieran asked the shadow beside him.
"Mm.
I got a good look. "
Bloody Mary walked out from the shadow.
When Bloody Mary completely broke free from the shadow, it had transformed into Ludus.
It wasn't difficult for Bloody Mary at all.
More so, its boss was buying time for it to observe the situation.
Kieran had always thought that a dead enemy was the best enemy he could have.
He showed mercy when he struck just now because he wanted Bloody Mary to have a better look.
As for interrogation?
Torture was only one of the ways to destroy the enemy.
When there was a more direct method, Kieran chose the more direct one.
Even if it meant obtaining more additional information.
Kieran still insisted on his own opinion.
This was because he did not think that the interrogation methods he had mastered would be able to obtain any real secret information.
His interrogation methods were not bad for ordinary people.
Dealing with the Councilors of the Silent Night Secret Order?
It was really not enough.
Of course, that was under normal circumstances. If he was fully armed and equipped, Kieran would have chosen a simpler method instead of using Bloody Mary.
In Kieran's mind, the occasions where Bloody Mary could shine was much more important than this.
"Colipo and I have agreed to the Senate meeting."
"Now, we need to unite with the remaining one …"
"Kurtzargert."
Bloody Mary quickly got into character and removed the [Illusion] that shrouded the room.
"Yes."
"Contact him as soon as possible."
Said Kieran.
Should he take the risk and enter Kurtzargert's turf or invite Kurtzargert to his own? As long as he wasn't an idiot, he would know which one to choose.
However, in order to lure Kurtzargert into his own turf, he would need some tricks.
It wasn't a difficult task for Bloody Mary though.
It almost flipped through Colipo and Horlaika's memories, so it knew how to invite its old rival.
Bloody Mary pushed the study room door open and walked down.
Kieran, on the other hand, sat on the chair in the study room.
He took out [Lord of Mist].
The crystal was as big as a palm, shining brightly.
Right after Ludus was killed, the [Lord of Mist] changed again.
It wasn't a simple AOE effect and a note, but another round of strengthening.

…
The change in rarity increased [Lord of Mist]'s power.
However, what concerned Kieran the most was the appearance of [Conceal].
It must have appeared after Kieran killed Councilman Ludus.
Kieran recalled when Devil Flame was burning and Gluttony devoured Ludus, the taste he got from Gluttony.
It felt like …
It tasted like pagans!
Kieran squinted his eyes as he recalled the so-called pagan rampage just now.
"Remnants …"
"It's not just the War Shrine's Dark Hall that did it.
Is it the same for Silent Night Secret Order? "
"No!
"Silent Night Secret Society needs to be more thorough.
It's not as simple as' snatching ', from a certain aspect, it should be a fusion.
Does that mean Colipo is one as well? "
With that thought in mind, Kieran felt a little heartache.
Judging from the feedback from the [Lord of Mist], the fused monster seemed to be able to gain more benefits than a pure pagan monster.
It was like a normal biscuit suddenly turning into an Oreo, the 3 + 2 kind.
The sense of satisfaction he felt was multiplied.
"There are 17 councilmen from Silent Night Secret Order.
Other than Colipo and Ludus, there are … 15 left. "
Facing the unexpected loss, Kieran started to shift his attention.
Once he thought about the 15 councilmen …
He couldn't help but breathe a little faster.
Right now, [Lord of Mist] was already at rank IV. There was no doubt that rank V would undergo a qualitative change!
Kieran's original thought was that it would take him a lot more effort to achieve it.
He even had a plan to hunt pagans.
Wasn't it natural for Demon Hunters to hunt pagans?
But now?
It seemed like he was sitting at the dining table, waiting for the dishes to be served.
The 15 members of Silent Night Secret Order were right before his eyes.
There was no need to search.
No need to try his luck.
To Kieran, it was the best news he could have ever received.
The only thing he had to be vigilant about was how to hunt the councilmen safely.
Kieran thought quietly.
A while later, he curled his lips into a grin.
An immature thought popped up in his mind.
No doubt, his identity as a Demon Hunter was the key point.
It was his job to hunt the pagans.
Hunting the councilmen was obviously for revenge.
No one would say anything.
It was completely reasonable and logical.
"An extra identity is really useful!"
Kieran thought.
…
"An extra identity is really tiring!"
Bloody Mary thought as it walked down the stairs.
"My lord."
The Silent Night Secret Society member who was on duty saw the councilman return and quickly bowed to greet him.
Although he didn't know why the councilman returned, maintaining his manners was the right thing to do.
From the start to the end, the member didn't notice anything unusual.
Whether it was the illusion or Bloody Mary's performance, both were flawless.
It was a natural spy.
In order to make itself feel better, Bloody Mary praised itself in its heart before it followed Ludus' tone and said, "I need you to deliver a message to Clairehore, tell him to pass it to Kurtzargert."
When the Undying and the other councilman's name were mentioned, the Silent Night Secret Society member's expression grew even more serious.
"Do you want to know Colipo's secret?
"If you want to know, come and find me here."
I'll wait for you before sunrise. "
Bloody Mary said slowly.
"Yes, my lord.
I'll deliver the message right away. "
The member repeated the message and after making sure there were no mistakes, he turned around and walked out.
After the member left, Bloody Mary told the other member, "Don't worry about it.
"Prepare some tea and snacks.
I want to wait for my old friend's arrival. "
…
Lower Fourth Ring.
It was still the civilian district of Castle Aïtantin.
However, compared to the Lower Seventh Ring, the civilian district was a lot better.
The streets were clean and tidy, the houses weren't built randomly anymore, they were neatly arranged according to the street layout. The civilians who could live in the civilian district had also become people with some assets.
They were at least the workers of a shop, able to take care of 3 to 5 apprentices but not the experienced ones.
Some of them were sergeants in the military camp.
However, there weren't many who could read.
Knowledge was precious, it was applicable everywhere.
Aïtantin Castle was even more so.
As long as one could read and count, it wasn't hard to find a decent job in the Central Third Ring. The decent salary was enough to support a family's life in the Lower Third or Second Ring.
Therefore, Old Zackeray was quite famous and respected in the Lower Fourth Ring.
He didn't just know how to read, he also knew how to count.
He even owned two shops in the district.
It wasn't comparable to the big shops in the Central Third Ring, but it was enough to make people envious.
He spat out a piece of his fingernail and wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth.
Old Zackeray, who just finished his meal, slowly walked to his bedroom.
It wasn't good to eat late at night.
However, he was forced to eat every month in order to suppress the restlessness in his body.
However, this time, it wasn't because he couldn't suppress the restlessness.
It was because of something else.
"Another grain reserve is gone."
I'll have to find two more before winter ends.
Fortunately, this is the Lower Ring. "
Old Zackeray smiled.
As one of the councilmen of the Silent Night Secret Order, he could live in a better place, but why did he choose the Lower Ring? Wasn't it because it was convenient for him to find food?
In the Lower Ring, it was normal for one or two people to go missing.
No one would go after it.
Soon, more people would flood into the district.
Of course, no one would suspect him.
He was Old Zackeray, who owned two shops.
Lying on his bed, Kurtzargert closed his eyes.
At this moment, the ring on his finger trembled slightly.
Kurtzargert opened his eyes right away and showed a long-awaited smile.
"Are they finally here?"
