Looking at the secretary's reaction, Duke Sharona and Duke Fushier exchanged glances quickly. After confirming the information they wanted in each other's eyes, their eyes staggered.

Duke Sharona's pale face still had a decent smile, she was about to speak, but her words were suddenly interrupted by a cough. The violent cough made her body vibrate continuously, and pulled the wound on her chest. Duke Sharona frowned, as if she was enduring the pain.

The cough made a little blood appear on Duke Sharona's pale face, like a white rose that was about to wither, stained with the afterglow of the sunset, with a decadent and regrettable beauty.

Sutter, who was standing quietly by the side, reacted extremely quickly, and came to her side almost at the moment when Duke Sharona frowned.

Waiting for the cough to pass, Sartre gently wiped the cold sweat on Duke Sharona's forehead with a white silk handkerchief, then checked her physical condition, and skillfully found a bottle of medicine from the medicine cabinet for Sharon Duke Na takes it.

Xiao Zhi observed Sartre's movements. He seemed to be very good at healing, and was very familiar with Sharona's current state. Sharona and Fuhir also maintained complete trust in his healing level.

Doctor?

Perhaps, even that white magic circle was created by Sartre.

Judging from the observation during this period of time, the energy of this magic circle is mild, and the fluctuation of energy is also very small. This kind of magic circle can minimize the pain of the injured during the treatment. The level is quite good, perhaps as good as Eugene. between the bros.

A powerful white magician who is good at medicine, and maybe also has combat skills, such an identity is enough to receive courtesy no matter which country on the mainland, just like Eugene before the accident, he can be as arrogant as he wants.

But Sartre willingly stayed by Duke Sharona's side, being a chief steward, and also hid his abilities well. Neither Teague nor the rest of the Dolly Alliance knew he had this ability.

It seems that Sartre's loyalty to the Duke of Sharona far exceeds the estimation of outsiders.

After Sartre's treatment, Duke Sharona's state recovered a little. She raised her hand to signal Sartre to step back, and then continued to negotiate with Xiao Zhi. Her eyes were clear and clear, and her thoughts were not disturbed by the pain at all.

Duke Sharona nodded slightly to Xiao Zhi: "Sorry, I'm rude. Let's start talking about cooperation, Mr. Secretary, the Barry Requiem you want is indeed with me."

When Xiao Zhi heard this, he understood that the main event was coming. He looked at Duke Sharona and said, "I want to hear your conditions."

The Duke of Sharona had an incomprehensible smile on her face: "I also want to see Hesse's sincerity. If we reach a long-term cooperation, the Barry Requiem Stone is a good gift to our collaborators."

Xiao Zhi said with a smile in his tone, "Hesse is currently in the period of development and construction, and needs a lot of materials. I think the Dolly Alliance should be able to provide us with sufficient supply. In addition, trade The district has just opened the first phase, and in the follow-up planning, I plan to arrange an exclusive area for the Dolly Alliance, and maybe implement some tax reduction policies in it.”

This is not only a price for Barry's Requiem, but also to pave the way for future cooperation. The cooperation with Dolly Alliance is also very beneficial to Hesse. It is not easy to find such an opportunity in ordinary times.

Duke Sharona thought for a while: "Such interests are enough to make many swaying guys decide on their positions."

In the parliament of the Dolly Alliance, there are many slick centrists. They have never clearly stated their position, and most of them choose to protect themselves when the forces of the bigwigs conflict. Only when one of the parties has given enough benefits will they gather toward the side that benefits them like sea beasts that smell blood.

In this conflict, the proposition put forward by Duke Sharona's faction is to develop and construct together with the Yuan clan, which will take a long time and require a lot of initial investment. It will not be able to reap the results in a short time, and it will also face the market. shocks and various unexpected situations.

The benefits given by Archduke Warren's faction are quite direct. War, plunder, and conquest are all considerable benefits, and they can be harvested in a short period of time.

This kind of temptation has attracted many people to stand on the side of Archduke Warren.

Many of them are from the Xiyue Clan. Even the Xiyue Clan has experienced the pain of being treated as a commodity, but these people don’t mind treating the Yuan Clan in the same way.

In the face of interests, some people can forget about kinship and homeland feelings.

It is not an easy task to stop a war caused by greed.

But if the trade channel with Hessen can be opened, it will be another amazing benefit, which is no less than the Xiyue Clan in the past to open up a new business route. With the growth of the Dolly Alliance, there are more and more trade routes, and no one has been able to open new trade channels for many years.

Even the Hessian side doesn't even need to pay the cost of the war, and they can get benefits directly through trade.

This is far more tempting than Archduke Warren's proposition. After all, the Xiyue Clan knew the name of the Yuan Clan for being good at fighting, and they went to fight in the unknown deep sea. The cost of this war would definitely be much higher than that of a war on land.

Duke Sharona could not help but breathed a sigh of relief. Now, she should have the support of more than half of the parliament.

Xiao Zhi carefully pondered the expressions of the dukes of Sharona and Fushier, and added another weight at the right time: "In addition, Hesse can send undead to protect the safety of the two, after all, at such an important period, I don't want any surprises for my collaborators."

Undead are the best at concealment among the undead, and even some undead can completely hide their dead aura, otherwise Xiao Zhi and Milton would not dare to plan to observe those politicians from other countries secretly. It's a pity that Duke Sharona's status is too high, and every move attracts a lot of attention. Even if he dies, it will be difficult to bring back Hessen. Otherwise, Xiao Zhi's watch list will definitely have her name added.

At present, it seems that Duke Sharona is alive, and the benefits of being a collaborator are even greater.

This proposal made the eyes of the two dukes brighten, and the undead could hide in various unexpected places, adding another layer of protection to their safety. Although out of prudence, they will not leave the most personal places to guard by people other than their confidants, but there are still many important positions. If the undead are used to guard, it will be safer.

After that, the three discussed some details of cooperation and basically reached a consensus.

After the Duke of Sharona recovers from her injury, she will contact the deputies she likes privately. After basically negotiating, the two dukes will go to the High Council of the Dolly Alliance to put forward their own proposals.

This time, they will definitely win.

The atmosphere is getting more and more harmonious, and the polite smiles on the faces of the three are also a little more sincere.

At this moment, Duke Sharona suddenly made a proposal: "Mr. Clerk, I wonder if you would like to add a bit more leverage?"

Xiao Zhi asked, "What do you mean?"

Duke Sharona: "Why don't we take care of Warren too?"

Xiao Zhi raised his brows slightly under the white gauze. Could it be that he wanted to assassinate Archduke Warren? For a weak secretary, such an operation is too difficult.

Duke Sharona smiled: "Of course, I wouldn't choose to assassinate as rudely as he did. After all...if I fail, I have to bear the wrath of the opponent's escape."

Although with a smile and a gentle tone, Xiao Zhi has already tasted a strong murderous aura from these words. I'm afraid Duke Sharona doesn't want Archduke Warren to live much better than a sudden death. You must know that she really almost died, and she is still lingering in serious injuries.

Hearing what she meant, Xiao Zhi asked, "What do you want me to do?"

The Duke of Sharona said: "I have a lot of information about Warren in my hands, including the positive evidence of his private dealings with the black market, but it is not enough to make him hit enough."

There was a sharp light in her beautiful eyes: "I know that he has done a lot of nasty things of assassination, smuggling, and human trafficking, including deliberately cultivating the mixed blood of the Xiyue tribe as slaves, rearing and selling things, and his forces are behind it. This is a serious crime that will never be forgiven within the Xiyue Clan, enough to make him die without a corpse."

When Duke Sharona was talking, Sartre on the side kept looking at her with focused eyes, until he heard about Warren, his eyes were full of waves, but he kept silent and his eyes were full of righteousness. The trust and respect of the Duke of Sharona.

Duke Sharona said solemnly: "So, I want you to use the undead under your command to obtain evidence of his crime, and then we can handle everything after that. Of course, I will give you what I know about Warren. stronghold of power."

Xiao Zhi thought for a while and asked, "What about the time limit?"

"The sooner the better..." Duke Sharona looked at the wound on his chest, "It's best to finish it within three days, and then drag it on. Warren may have passed the parliamentary vote and sent troops to attack the First Sea. "

Xiao Zhi nodded: "Okay."

Whether it is the current cooperation or the future cooperation between Hesse and the Dolly Alliance, Archduke Warren is an uncertain factor. It would be better if he could be completely overthrown.

After Duke Sharona finished talking about the stronghold of Archduke Warren, they ended their conversation. Xiao Zhi and Duke Sharona exchanged contact cards, and then left the underwater secret room with Teague accompanied by Duke Fusil.

After the three of them left, Sartre whispered to Duke Sharona: "The secretary's voice sounds familiar to me."

Duke of Sharona: "Who is it?"

Sartre thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he was a guest who visited you during his lifetime."

Duke Sharona: "I have too many guests to remember."

Sartre bowed to her: "Sorry, it was my dereliction of duty."

Duke Sharona smiled: "It's not your fault."

After leaving Duke Fusil's mansion. Xiao Zhi and Teague returned to his residence, released the courier who was still in a coma, and returned it to Duke Fuhir's men.

After that, Xiao Zhi took Teague to the streets of Hilaris.

At this time, the night was already very thick, but Hilaris was still lively and prosperous.

Teague squatted on the street corner wrapped in a black cloak, looking at the people coming and going, feeling a little uneasy.

It was the first time that he felt so uneasy on the street. In the past, these people were fat sheep in his eyes, but now they have all become two words - "living people", and they will look at him at any time. Screaming, and rushing up to purify the undead kind of living being...

Tigla took a look at his cloak and made sure that he was covered tightly. He couldn't help but sigh. He probably won't be able to deceive people on the street in the future.

But on second thought, he would be able to go to Hesse to become an official soon, and he would not need to save money to please the ladies in the future, so it would be meaningless to continue cheating money.

When he realized that he would no longer have to worry about money in his future life, Teague was in a better mood in an instant.

However, he has no "people" anymore...

Xiao Zhi was wrapped in a cloak and also huddled at the corner of the street. Unlike Teague, he was holding the address book in his hand and was concentrating on looking up something. Teague glanced, but he couldn't see the contents of the player's exclusive address book at all, so he could only continue to stare at the crowd in a daze.

Since Duke Sharona said the sooner the better, Xiao Zhi had a different plan than what she mentioned.

If you rely on the undead, it is indeed easier to infiltrate the stronghold address given by Duke Sharona.

But the undead cannot know where the evidence is hidden, and there is not necessarily someone in the stronghold discussing matters, and it may even be an ordinary shop on the surface. In this case, it would depend on luck to find sufficient evidence within three days. If the people under Archduke Warren did not come these days, it would be a waste of time.

So, he was thinking of a slightly cruder approach.

Let the players do it and empty the stronghold directly.

It happens that he has the identity of the Hessian secretary, can issue tasks, and has the identity of a player. He can guide the behavior of the players at any time. The number of players is far more than the undead. If there is a sudden attack, it will definitely catch Warren by surprise. .

how should do it?

Xiao Zhi unconsciously thought of the first time he encountered Qianyewu, and it seemed like a good choice to hide the mission.

Countless players on the Late Night Water Forum suddenly saw such a post: [Subject: I received a hidden mission in Hilaris! ! 】

Although I wonder how people like Hilaris come and go, how can there be hidden quests where almost every inch of the ground has been ripped up? However, due to the desire for hidden tasks, the players still couldn't control their hands that were about to move, and couldn't help but click in one by one, and said in their hearts, if the landlord is the headliner, I will scold him to death.

As a result, this landlord is really not like a headline party. Although the poster is anonymous, the content looks very reliable:

I had nothing to do today, and I was wandering around in Hilaris to watch the fun, and I found a guy in a black cloak looking strange in a corner. I didn't intend to pay attention to it, but this person is very strange, with some very strange things in his mouth, a language that is completely incomprehensible.

After eating melons for many years, I instantly regained my spirits. I have never heard of such a person in Hilaris before, and there must be something tricky when they suddenly appear!

I tried to go up and talk to him, the man ignored me at first, until I mentioned "it's getting dark now" and he finally responded! He asked me: "The long night is coming to an end, are you willing to accept the guidance of the stars?"

I said yes, and then! I got a hidden mission! ! ! ! !

But this task requires a lot of people to complete it together, at least 300 people can open it, there is a time limit, it can only be received before 3:00 this morning, and there are confidentiality requirements, which cannot be told to other NPCs. Is there anyone who hasn't slept, come to Hilaris! ! ! The address is here [picture]! !

Save the children, let the African Emirates experience the joy of hidden missions! !

After Xiao Zhi finished writing the content of the post, he read it again by himself. This is what he summed up from Li Daye's classic speech, and added the player's favorite hidden tasks and time-limited elements. It seems that the mystery seems to be very advanced, but it does not reveal any exact content. You can explain it how you want.

But... why do you feel a little chubby and pompous?

Forget it, the second is the second, isn't it good for the Asanaxi people who like to die?

Xiao Zhi sat on a secluded street in Hilaris, changed a spare face that he had never seen before, drank a bottle of potion to change his voice, and then began to sit back and wait for the player to come to him.

As for Teague, he was arranged beside him as a mascot.

After all, two men in black robes, one talking in a daze and the other silent, always seem to be more imposing than a black robe acting in a one-man show, and Teague, as a seasoned and experienced swindler, is the fundamental of acting. Can't beat him.

Xiao Zhi told him that no matter who talks to you, just keep your head down. Keeping mysterious is our code of conduct.

Teague nodded in understanding.

There were quite a few players who didn’t sleep late at night, and there were a lot of people who clicked in, and they responded immediately.

1L. Melon Tian Yiba:

I didn't expect to see this kind of melon if didn't sleep late at night, who should take a look?

5L. My wallet is empty. Reply 1L:

Why don't you go by yourself?

6L. Guatian Yiba replied to 5L:

I'm stuck in another hidden mission.

25L. My wallet is empty. Reply 6L:

Depend on! Die Emperor!

78L. Trailblazer:

Really? Don't be bluffing again, it's too much to show your hidden tasks in front of you!

189L. Gale:

I happen to be in Hilaris, and I have nothing to do anyway. It doesn't seem like it's a loss to go and look at it? If the landlord cheats, I will scold him to death.

233L. I'm really out of money:

I'm going to have a look too, I'll scolded the landlord to death for cheating +1

283L. It's so cute:

What if it was true?

In this way, players saw the post, some believed it, and some doubted it.

But Hilaris is a big city, and there are many players who originally stayed here. Even unbelievable players will want to go and take a look. Went to the location indicated in the post.

After a while.

399L. Gale:

What the hell! Really no lie! ! !

423L. It's so cute:

I also received a hidden quest, and the time limit for receiving it is before three o'clock, so hurry up!

In an instant, countless Athanasis quietly came to Hilaris.

If it was other races, doing such a thing would probably be very noticeable, but who said they were all Athanasi people, mainland residents expressed their no wonder at the strange behavior of the Asanaxi people.

In the first few years, there may be mainland residents who would be wary of the collective dispatch of the Athanasi people, but after more times, they found that the behavior of the Athanasi people was really illogical, and it seemed that everything was worth their collective dispatch. .

The most common situation is an appointment, which is also the easiest to understand.

But some are very difficult to understand. The last time it seemed to be to snap up a newly opened dessert shop. Hit more.

Some are even more surprising.

For example, there was a group of little girls who rushed to a man who looked nothing special except good-looking, surrounded them, and screamed "Brother!!", "Son!!" , "Husband !!!", "Ah, ah!!! I really is handsome !!" "," Mom !! I don't have a powder "!!", or even someone directly on the ground.

This move caused the mainland residents to be at a loss, unable to guess what their relationship was, and could only feel that they were really strange and crazy Asanassi.

After hundreds of years of experience, mainland residents have been able to turn a blind eye to the abnormal behavior of the Athanasi people.

"It's getting dark now."

"It's getting dark now!!!!"

"It's getting dark now-"

A large group of players kept repeating the same sentence around the cloaked man sitting on the ground. The picture was very strange, just like humans finally discovered that their essence is a repeater.

Xiao Zhi's brain hurts a bit from the noise, but in order to maintain the force of the mysterious NPC, he can't do things like covering his ears that are detrimental to his temperament. He still kept his head looking down at the floor, as if he wasn't interested in everything in the world.

After a while, he said, "The long night is coming to an end, are you willing to accept the guidance of the stars?"

"willing!!!!!!!!!!"

The players said in unison, as if they were collectively proposed by a scumbag.

Then, they all received a prompt:

"Whether to accept the hidden task 'The Night Will End', prompt: This task requires more than 300 people to open, and the task opening time is today' 3:00. After accepting the task, you cannot disclose relevant information to any NPC. considered mission failure"

Players have chosen to accept.

The mission requirements read: Please go to the designated location at 3:00, look for all suspicious evidence, there are no restrictions on how to obtain it, and place the evidence at No. 52 Nut Street.

There is only one sentence, it does not explain what kind of evidence is looking for, how to obtain it, let alone what the evidence refers to, and the position of each person is not the same.

There is no exact reward, but it's normal, ZERO's hidden quest never states what the reward is.

Someone tried to ask Xiao Zhi for information, but once the content related to the mission was involved, he began to lower his head and murmur again, and what he said was still the content that the players couldn't understand, looking too mysterious.

Seeing this, the players couldn't help whispering, and they had to keep their voices low so that no one would listen.

"What's the evidence? Documents?"

"What kind of real thing might it be? But with such a short time, we can't investigate it?"

"Yeah, it didn't say in the mission requirements..."

"How about... let's try to empty the house?"

"Is this...a bit too rough?"

"He didn't say he couldn't, and there's always evidence in it if you move out. If you miss the reward, are you willing?"

"Makes sense!"

"Move! Move them all!!"

"Be careful there is a dark room, don't let go even a brick!!"

Inside a mansion on the sea of the Dolly Union.

The lights here are bright, and the top materials are used everywhere for construction and decoration. Every decoration reveals majesty and complexity, showing the owner's heart full of control and extreme desire for power.

After solving his recent headache, Archduke Warren, who was taking a bath in his mansion while enjoying a fine wine, suddenly felt a chill behind him.

Why is there an ominous premonition that people are thinking about big pants?
