Chapter 576: Underground

Night, Horn Town.

Dean was in the study, quietly looking at the three pieces of paper in his hand—these are the messages that Lauder sent through the messenger Falcon.

Although the distance between Horn Town and the Emerald City is not very far, and riding a horse takes only about three hours, but if you want to get some news as soon as possible, you need a falcon and a communication crystal.

However, with Dean's current financial resources, he still can't afford the cost of frequent use of communication crystals - a short-distance communication crystal that lasts less than ten seconds needs two hundred Kimptons, which is enough to make Jue Most people stay away.

Therefore, except for very special & {m} circumstances, most people would not use communication crystals at all.

As for the long-distance, is it like the value of the communication crystal from Nangang County to Gaosai Wangdu last time?

Its value is at least twenty times that of the short distance.

Of course, there are also some other methods that can reduce consumption and achieve extraordinary results.

However, that is what wizards are good at, and it rarely appears in the three major kingdoms.

Thus, the falcon became the primary communication tool.

"Tom!"

After reading the three notes, Dean handed the three notes to his personal attendant with the corner of his mouth upturned.

Tom took the three pieces of paper and checked them one by one. There was nothing wrong with the first two. They all said that everything went well with the peripheral organization of the "Salvation Society" and how many enemies were hanged.

But the third one made Tom frown.

Because, on the third sheet, Aleander discovered that someone was following him.

"Is anyone else interested in 'The Salvation Society'?"

Tom returned the note to Dean and asked subconsciously.

"No. Of course not—the current 'Salvation Society'. In the eyes of most people, it is just a small organization. It has neither extremely high force nor considerable financial resources. It's just monopolizing the territory of the civilian area of ​​the emerald capital; however, for the forces that focus on the civilian area, the 'Salvation Society' is a huge monster and cannot be provoked at all; and for organizations that focus on other aspects,' The Salvation Society' is tasteless! So, those people are not here for the 'Salvation Society' at all!"

Dean said slowly.

"That's... for the 'blood mark'?!"

Tom pondered for a while, and figured out the key.

"Well, it's for the 'blood mark' - a 'silver emerging from the common people'!"

There was a hint of amusement in Dean's words.

"In this case, why don't you catch the living?"

Tom asked puzzled.

Tom never doubted whether Dean could capture a silver alive.

"Because the dead are more beneficial to us-our actions in the afternoon are not top-secret, as long as we inquire carefully, we can easily find out, including the time we spent and whether we took others away, these are all possible I got it; if I capture Bloodmark alive and bring it back to Horn Town, what do you think we'll face next?"

Dean asked back.

"The opponent's counterattack?"

Tom asked cautiously.

"It's not just as simple as a counterattack. It's a general attack—a silver-level powerhouse, in any force, can be regarded as a middle-level and high-level person. He must know a lot. In order to let this secret If I don't know, I will definitely try my best to rescue the 'Bloodmark', or kill 'Bloodmark' to silence it! But what may happen during the period is something I don't want to see, at least, now I don't want to see unnecessary losses! "

Dean shook his head and said seriously.

"So, are you going to..."

Tom looked at the note.

"Well, the news they inquired is enough to speculate that I ended the battle in a short time and didn't have time to torture 'Bloodmark'. However, they will definitely not lose a silver-level powerhouse in vain—they will find someone Spy on us and take revenge on us, but they won't carry out a general attack! And this...gives me time to find their lair!"

Dean nodded and said word by word.

"Here is temporarily handed over to you and Hu. Fully charge the magic circle left by your teacher and be ready to open it at any time!"

Dean ordered, and then picked up the sword box standing aside.

For possible opponents, Dean never underestimated them. Since one 'blood mark' can appear, there may be a second one, or...a stronger opponent.

"do not worry!"

Tom bowed.

And when Tom stood up straight again, Dean had already disappeared in front of him.

...

Dean ran towards the emerald capital at full speed.

Facing the heavily guarded gate, Dean easily entered the city, and then went straight to the hidden address on the note - this was the code word from Dean and Lauder, even Tom didn't notice it.

"grown ups!"

A slight shout came from the gutter behind the house on one side.

Under the thick, pungent-smelling mud, Lauder, who saw Dean, crawled out cautiously.

And Dean didn't feel any difference because of this, on the contrary, he nodded in praise.

For a person who has no strength and is still pursuing stability, he is definitely not far from death!

Only people like Lauder can truly survive, and they are still alive and well!

"My lord, that guy is following too closely, I am too weak to get rid of him, so I can only come here - those guys are definitely trying to kill me, if it wasn't for Aleander who distracted most people's attention , even if there is this secret hiding place, I have to be fucked!"

Seeing Dean's appreciative smile, Lauder immediately stood up straight.

"Have you found their foothold?"

Dean asked.

"Of course! Although those guys did a lot of cover-ups, I can be sure that those guys came from the home of a wealthy businessman in the upper city!"

Lauder straightened his back and said with a touch of pride.

"oh?"

Dean glanced at Lauder in surprise.

Regarding the search for unknown opponents, Dean did not give more hope to Lauder. As long as Lauder is safe and sound. But did not expect. Lauder was able to find out the whereabouts of these people.

"I recognize a guy inside—although he is wearing a mask, but half of his little finger is missing on his left hand, and his figure and tone should be the guy in my memory!"

Lauder said with certainty.

"lead the way!"

Dean said bluntly.

For Lauder, Dean naturally would not doubt anything, the other party has already proved his loyalty.

Leading Lauder through layers of guards, Dean came to the rich merchant that Lauder referred to, and here. Dean also saw Aleander standing nearby in the shadows.

"grown ups!"

Aleander stepped out of the shadows.

"Take Lauder to hide first!"

Dean ordered like this.

Then, the whole person walked towards the house in front of him——

This is a typical three-story building with a garden, which is neither ostentatious, but very stylish, and is loved by some wealthy businessmen who are not nobles.

Of course, the unknown enemy chose this place more because it is easy to arrange manpower.

Looking at the huge garden, Dean immediately thought of an equally wide underground space.

In fact, just as Dean guessed.

On the outside, on the ground. It looks like an ordinary wealthy businessman's residence here, but there is something unique underground——

In the stairwell under the stairs leading to the second floor. Dean found the stairs leading underground.

Guarded by a knight-level guard.

Without hesitation, Dean covered the opponent's mouth, twisted the opponent's neck, and at the same time, punched him in the chest again, until the light ball representing the xp value appeared, and then opened the door of the stairwell , conveniently brought the body of the gatekeeper into it.

The staircase in front of me is not the one that goes straight up and down, but rotates downward. Every five or six steps, there will be a magic lamp emitting light, illuminating the road in front of me.

Dean went down the steps.

After walking a total of hundreds of steps, a half-open door appeared in front of Dean.

Behind the door, there is an equally bright corridor. A faint voice came from the other side of the corridor——

"We shouldn't be doing this, Zelgon is not easy to mess with!"

"However, we lost an important manpower. If we don't do something, His Highness will think we are useless!"

"I don't think our actions will change His Highness's view of us... This is wrong on top of wrong!"

"what do you know……"

...

The voice fluctuated from high to low, obviously the people inside were arguing.

But the title "His Royal Highness" that the other party said caught Dean's attention.

There are definitely not many people who can be called 'His Royal Highness', and their status is distinguished.

Almost instantly, Dean narrowed the scope, and a guess appeared in his mind: the saint of the Mobius ring——Susanna!

Only the other party can be called His Highness, be so careful, and have the ability to cultivate a silver-level powerhouse.

More importantly, only the other party would be interested in an organization like the 'Salvation Society'.

After all, the Ring of Mobius is a sect that needs more followers.

Although the ring of Mobius is doing some destructive and bloody things most of the time, the ring of Mobius is also concerned about being able to develop the congregation.

However, the reputation of the smelly street made it difficult for them to find normal congregants to join.

Therefore, it is not surprising to recruit people with a makeover.

And an organization like the "Salvation Society" that has no military force or financial resources, but only manpower and territory, is naturally very attractive to the Mobius ring.

The doubts in my mind were quickly resolved.

Dean slowly opened the sword case, pulled it out, and strode towards the corridor.

"who?"

"who?"

The undisguised footsteps were discovered immediately.

Then when Dean walked into the wide underground hall, he was already surrounded by a group of people.

"Zelgon!"

However, when these people saw Dean's face, they all exclaimed.

"Say hi to Suzanne for me!"

Dean said after glancing at the huge Mobius ring imprint on the wall in the distance.

At the same time, Dean stretched out his hand and slammed the door behind him.

boom!

The dull sound echoed in the ground, but the cold air gushing out at the next moment seemed to freeze the air, making the sound silent.
