When Ethan and Sophia returned to the manor, it was already past noon.

Neither of them had an appetite for food, so they went straight to the study.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the study, Ethan glanced at the door and couldn't help frowning.

The door was locked, but there was a person standing in the southeast corner of the study.

Obviously the other party was not a guest.

So Ethan grabbed Sophia, who was walking in front, and signaled her with his eyes not to speak, while his right hand was on the hilt of the sword.

Just as he was about to step forward, he was pulled back by Sophia.

"There is an important member inside. We are one of them, don't worry!"

As she spoke, Anna unlocked the door of the study.

Sophia took Ethan and pushed the door open.

Ethan looked at the southeast corner of the study at the first time.

The curtains there were half-drawn, and a man dressed in black and wearing a silver mask could be vaguely seen standing in the dark triangle.

The other party seemed to be very good at disguise. If it weren't for the silver mask, it would be almost impossible to tell that there was still a person standing there.

"This is Oliver, who I told you about before."

Sophia walked towards the seat while introducing Ethan.

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Great Sword Saint!"

A greeting came from the shadows in the corner.

Oliver?

Oh! That's right!

It's the actor who played the killer and sneaked into the Midnight Circus.

Ethan immediately remembered who the other party was, and at the same time thought of the leader of the Midnight Circus, Leon from the Duke's Mansion.

In an instant, he suddenly understood what Sophia meant by "arrangement" before.

If I guessed correctly, it should be to use the Midnight Circus as a line to meet Leon.

This way, it is not only concealed, but the other party will not have so many scruples.

It's perfect.

Thinking of this, Ethan smiled and replied: "It's an honor to meet you too. In addition, thank you very much for helping me solve the problem."

"Hehe!" An awkward laugh came from Oliver's silver mask.

"You are too modest, Master Swordsman. Even without me, there will be no trouble.

You may not know that the Midnight Circus is no longer the killer organization that was feared in the past."

"Oh?" Ethan became interested: "What do you mean?"

"When I got into the Midnight Circus, I found that this organization was different from the legend." Oliver said slowly:

"The killers don't seem to be as cold and ruthless as imagined.

In fact, it's not quite appropriate to call them killers.

It's more accurate to call them intelligence collectors. Many of them have serious jobs.

And the entire organization is called the Intelligence Exchange Center. More appropriate.

Most members were just exchanging information there.

Occasionally, some people issued some hunting orders, and the members just accepted them according to their own will.

At first, I thought I had come to the wrong place, but I found out later through trickery.

It turned out that the real Midnight Circus was destroyed in the first encirclement and suppression.

The Midnight Circus that appeared in various places now is just a product of demand.

To put it simply, a cat or a dog, as long as he wants, as long as he imitates the Midnight Circus's techniques, then he is the Midnight Circus.

So, Your Excellency the Great Sword Saint, there has never been any future trouble. "

Upon hearing this, Ethan immediately thought of a lot.

First reaction: Isn't this the Biqu Pavilion of the killer world!

Second reaction: Rand is also a member of the Midnight Circus.

Third reaction: No wonder Sophia had the previous analysis, she obviously knew something.

Ethan looked at Sophia: "On the way back, you let the apostle go ahead, just to find Oliver!

What about picking him up?"

Sophia didn't reply, but looked at Oliver, indicating that the other party had spoken.

The silver mask nodded gently in the dark: "I have sent a meeting request to the leader and am waiting for his reply.

If everything goes well, we should be able to meet tomorrow night.

The location is the Bird of Paradise Club.

It is also one of the secret gathering places of the Midnight Circus."

As soon as the voice fell, the curtains in the southeast corner seemed to be blown up by the wind, and when they fell again, the silver mask had disappeared.

Ethan saw this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Is it necessary to be so mysterious?"

"He just likes it! You have to respect other people's hobbies!" Sophia replied with a smile.

Ethan looked back at the window where Oliver left and shook his head with a strange look on his face.

This hobby is really strange. He doesn't go through the door, but goes through the window.

And...this ability is too bad!

At this time, Oliver was in the room downstairs, holding his calf with one hand and grimacing in pain.

It turned out that just now, in order to show off, he had to jump from the third floor to the second floor, but his calf accidentally hit the windowsill on the second floor, and a large piece of skin was knocked off.

"Where did you find such a funny guy?"

Sophia didn't know what happened in the room downstairs, and thought Ethan was praising Oliver.

"I met him by chance.

He used to work for the Adventure Guild.

He specialized in petty thefts.

Because he was very good at imitating, he often pretended to be a nobleman and sneaked into various drinking parties to steal in his spare time.

One day he pretended to be my uncle and stole at the Lawrence family's banquet.

I caught him red-handed.

I thought he was interesting, so I took him in.

If you also need such a person, you can try your luck at the Adventure Guild.

Because there are all kinds of strange commissions, there will also be all kinds of strange people.

Just like the mercenary king I met before.

Maybe he is nothing in your eyes, but he is a well-known figure in the Adventure Guild. "

Ethan smiled: "I will take it as you are praising me!"

"Do you still need my praise?

In terms of martial arts, genius is just the threshold to see you. "

Sophia also smiled: "Okay, no more gossip.

If I can really see Leon tomorrow, I hope you can ask about the situation of the Duke's Mansion. "

Hearing this, Ethan knew that Sophia was not going to go with him tomorrow.

Think about it, the name of the Bird of Paradise Club sounds elegant and noble. People who don't know it think it is an elegant place, but it is actually a brothel.

Obviously, it is not appropriate for Sophia to go there alone.

Although he knew it was like this, Ethan pretended to know nothing and asked in confusion: "Such an important thing, you don't come with me. "

As he spoke, Ethan gave himself a psychological hint: Why don't we go together? Is there some secret that cannot be told?

After a set of combined punches, Sophia smiled happily.

"I won't go there, it's a brothel.

I'm glad to hear that you haven't been there, but I still want to warn you, don't take the opportunity to do anything bad if you go there, I will get wind of it. "

Ethan suddenly realized: "Are you underestimating me too much? Am I that kind of person?"

"Really!" Sophia showed no mercy.

Ethan: "..."

Sophia was secretly happy to see Ethan being humiliated, and at the same time she remembered another thing, so she said: "There is another thing I want to remind you, because of the problem of the shipyard, many routes have been suspended recently.

Saberi's route is also among them, and he will start his vacation in a few days.

I know you have a good relationship with him, so I want to remind you, don't go to those weird places with him. "

Ethan: "..."
