Skretil's Ignorance Walker

After entering the store, Sheryl could clearly feel that the atmosphere around her was a little different. Although there were a few students in the store who ordered some food and chatted while eating, other than that, Sheryl found that the atmosphere inside the store was different. All the staff stared directly at him, as if they were wolves who had discovered their prey.

Carol led Sheryl through the front desk of the store and came to a small room. There was no light source in it. When Sheryl entered and closed the door, she felt it was completely dark and could not see anything.

Just when Sheryl was about to speak, a flame lit up in the middle of the room. Although the light was very weak, it could at least bring a glimmer of light to Sheryl in the darkness.

"sit down."

Carol asked Sheryl to sit down. At this time, Sheryl saw the layout of the room clearly. Except for a table and a few stools in the middle, there was nothing else in this small square room.

The previous firelight was from a candle located in the center of the table, and it seemed that Carol should have lit it.

To Sheryl's surprise, besides her and Carol, there was a masked person in the room. He wore a loose robe, making it impossible to judge his gender from his appearance.

"Miss Sheryl von Roederberg, welcome."

After Sheryl sat down, the mysterious man in a black robe began to speak, while Carol, who had brought Sheryl over, sat silently next to him. It seemed that this person was the leader of this meeting. By.

"……you are?"

"You can call me Shadow. When I heard what happened to the Rodburg family, I was very sad. But when I knew you were still alive, you don't know how lucky I was."

"Thank you for your concern."

Faced with the other party's polite words, Sherrill nodded slightly in thanks. As a noble, she was already accustomed to such occasions, although usually those nobles would not choose such a gloomy place.

"I believe you must be eager for revenge. Your family has been serving the royal family since the founding of the country, but they actually treated your family like this."

The shadow continued, and Sheryl listened to his words silently, but Sheryl thought in her heart, wasn't it because of you that your family was destroyed in the first place?

"This time, we will definitely seek justice for you and give you the due reward when the matter is accomplished."

"Thank you, Lord Shadow, for giving me this opportunity. It's all for the 'Sword of Shadow'."

"All for the 'Shadow Sword'."

"Cough cough!"

After taking over the other party's topic, Sheryl tentatively shouted the slogan of Shadow Sword. Although she was sure that the other party was a member of Shadow Sword, Carol did not say it herself, so Sheryl planned to test it out. I never expected that the other party would be so cooperative. This made Carol beside him cough twice to remind him.

"... Let's not talk about that for now, Miss Sherrill, we need you to lurk in the academy to assist us in our operations."

"Of course, no problem. What do I need to do?"

"It's very simple, I want you to get close to K..."

"Ahem! Let me explain it to you, Miss Sherrill."

Just when Shadow wanted to explain Sheryl's mission, she was interrupted again by Carol. This time she did not let Shadow continue speaking. Instead, she stood in front of Sheryl and explained to Sheryl instead of Shadow.

"You will lurk quietly first, and then we need you to provide us with some information about Hilesette von Domar, okay?"

"...Okay, I do have some contact with her, I believe it won't be difficult."

"Then I'll leave it to you first."

When she heard the task assigned to her by Carol, Sheryl had some doubts in her heart. This seemed to be different from the task that the shadow wanted to assign to her just now. This may be because they were not trusting themselves yet, so they specially gave it to themselves. Take a fake mission to test yourself.

"Is there anything else?"

After thinking about this, Sheryl asked proactively. She also wanted to know more information about their operation.

"No more for now. You complete this task first, and we will contact you again later."

But it seems that Carol doesn't want Sheryl to know more. After that, Carol continued to explain to Sheryl how to contact them and hand over the task. She did not reveal any other unnecessary things to Sheryl. After explaining everything, Carol asked Sheryl to leave first. She and There's something else about shadows.

Sherrill, who was walking alone on the way back to the academy, kept thinking about what purpose they had not told herself. To be honest, when the people who knew that the other party was the Sword of Shadows came to find her, Sheryl thought they were here to silence her, but now they seem to want to win over Sheryl. They should think that Sheryl is Will join them again because he wants to avenge his family.

Sherrill couldn't help but sigh. If they found out that she was protected by the kingdom's senior officials and was also under the supervision of Litich, one of the four knights, then they might not come to her so easily.

The most important thing now is to gain their trust and report this matter to Lidici, letting her know what Shadow Sword is plotting in the academy.

Although they asked Sheryl to collect information about Xi Leisi, Sheryl believed that this was not their main purpose, but a trap set to test themselves. Therefore, Sheryl planned to complete this task first to gain their trust. Then convey their true purpose to Litich.

As for Carol, after watching Sheryl leave, she turned to look at the shadow who was still sitting in the room, and there seemed to be some dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"Why do you want her to collect information about Xi LeiSi? Xi LeiSi is not easy to deal with. Will letting her go and alert the enemy?"

The shadow didn't notice Carol's expression. He just put one hand on the table, cupped his chin and asked Carol.

"...Young master, you have to know that we can't believe her so easily. She just lied to you, so I don't think she will serve us wholeheartedly."

Before she finished speaking, Carol's body began to twist and deform. After finishing these words, Carol's body had turned into a skinny man, and this person was none other than the man who had been captured earlier. Carlisle of Aip.

"Ah? It can't be possible. Her whole family was killed. Doesn't she have any hatred at all?"

"It's hard to say. I hope I'm overthinking it. Anyway, Master, haven't you always been interested in Silasite? You can take this opportunity to get to know her better."

Carlisle was a little helpless towards the man in front of him. If he hadn't seen him in a high position, he would have wanted to slap him to death, but now that he was working for someone, he still had to be patient.

"That's okay. Anyway, there's still some time before the midterm exam, so take your time and don't rush. By the way, how are you dealing with that half-dream demon?"

After hearing Carlisle's words, Shadow also relaxed and raised his legs on the table, not forgetting to ask Carlisle about April.

"...Don't worry, although she has been eliminated, I have cut her soul in advance. The remaining part can also allow us to invade the students' dreams. Now we only need to wait for the opportunity, and then do it in one fell swoop Just take it.”

Looking at the other party's actions, Carlisle felt a little disgusted, but for the sake of his own future, he didn't say anything more and just told him his next plan.

After leaving the room, Carlisle looked towards the college. As long as this operation was successful, he would be worry-free for the rest of his life. For the sake of his own future and the future living security of his family, he must make this operation successful.
