The Emerald Tower

Chapter 31 Meeting in the Shadows

The night in Tyreland always came earlier and colder than other places in the Emerald Kingdom, so that except for the patrolling guards, once the town of Tyre entered the night, there would be no other people at all.

However, compared to other nights, there were a lot more patrolling guards in Tire Town tonight.

Because, a murder just appeared in this peaceful town in the past-although the identity of the victim has not been confirmed, but this murder involved the respectable tax official Molde; The guards patrolling at night were changed from the previous two teams to four.

The number of patrolling guards almost doubled, carefully checking suspicious persons or objects.

In fact, this kind of search started after the tax official called the guards; but, from the afternoon until dark, there was no real gain—whether it was the real murderer or the local police. Neither the Thieves Union nor the tax official were found.

On the contrary, after a long search, even the most focused guards couldn't help being distracted.

It's not that they are not dedicated enough, it's just that the appearance of fatigue makes them have to do so.

And in the night patrol team, many guards participated in the search in the previous afternoon, so at this time, in this cold and windy night, they can try their best to keep their eyes open and follow their companions in front, Let yourself not be left behind, and look forward to returning to the outpost as soon as possible, close to the slightly warm brazier.

Therefore, it is conceivable how effective these patrolling guards are, even though they have doubled in number.

As for this, Dean, who was walking through the town of Tire due to the jet lag of the guards, didn't mind it at all, and was even very grateful for the intentional or unintentional guidance of the tax official in the afternoon--Dean was in the snow The second floor of Bear's House, through the window, watching what the tax collector did.

Obviously, the other party wanted to kill all the thieves who had already attacked him but 'distributed the loot unevenly' for their own safety.

Undoubtedly, Dean's arrangement played a role.

However, those local thieves definitely have sensitive eyes and eyes and a sense of crisis, and they all ran away before the other party made a move.

There will definitely be a fierce battle between the two sides.

Dean believed in the revenge of the Thieves Guild very much, and he also believed in the cruelty of the tax official-and he must contribute to it, so that the latter could not die anymore.

However, that will be a matter of later, and now Dean is just rejoicing, if it is not because of exhaustion, it is impossible for him to travel through the town of Tyre so easily, and it will definitely take a lot of effort.

Compared with the loyalty of Captain Mark in Bugle Town, although the guards in Tire Town do not have an excellent leader, their respective levels are definitely not sheriffs in the hinterland It can be compared; you must know that when fighting against the robbers and bandits deep in the snowy forest every year, apart from the Knights, these guards are also one of the main forces.

Fighting with robbers and bandits can definitely be regarded as wandering on the edge of life and death. You only need to survive for several years in a row. Even if you are an ordinary person at first, you will become a qualified soldier in the end.

Undoubtedly, there are not a few soldiers like this in Tire Town.

Therefore, in the previous plan, Dean never ignored these guards; but, unexpectedly, a small 'accident' made him temporarily put these guards aside.

In a gust of cold wind mixed with frost, Dean took advantage of the swaying flames in the brazier to pass through the fence on the side of the gate of Tire Town very smoothly.

Then, he ran to the agreed place.

There is a dense forest about two kilometers away from the town of Tire—this is a hidden place that Dean found near the town of Tire, and it was originally used as a backup hiding place.

However, it is also a good choice to meet those high-sai spies now.

After all, as the 'chief spy' who took over County Vauban, he had to show his 'ability'.

Although as lurkers, spies from various countries are undoubtedly the most loyal group of people, but as long as they are people, there will be battles.

And in order to allow himself to have a group of loyal and willing subordinates, Dean must convince the other party, even if in his heart, he is more willing to kill the other party completely.

After all, with his weak power now, it is impossible for him to abandon a power that covers the entire County of Vauban and has a complete intelligence network.

Dean, who arrived almost half an hour earlier than the agreed time, had time to check the location he had chosen again - after confirming that no one had come in advance, and there was no ambush, Dean found a shaded corner with a leeward wind Among them, quietly waiting for the person who will meet with him.

As for the fact that the other party may not have seen it, will they come?

Such an assumption simply does not exist.

As Gaosai's spy, Dean believed that the other party had enough professional skills. As the Snow Bear House was the only hotel in Tyre, as Gaosai's spy, there was no reason not to keep an eye on it.

And once they keep an eye on it, they will definitely find out.

As long as they find out, they will definitely come back.

As a spy, the reward may not be high, but the punishment is definitely severe enough.

And every organization has corresponding punishment methods for its own spies, so that they obey orders obediently and dare not resist.

Maybe it's family, maybe it's hatred.

But either way, Dean knew that one of them would be very effective.

This time, no exception——

Ten minutes before the appointed time, a black shadow had already appeared in Dean's vision; On the side of the waist, although the opponent passed through the concealment, the shape of the hand crossbow could not be hidden from Dean at all.

At such a close time, Tyre received a rare hand crossbow. After adding the two together, the identity of the other party is obviously ready to be revealed.

However, Dean did not come out anxiously, but quietly waited for the other party to approach.

The former secret agent and spy career told Dean that as the leader of secret agents and spies, others may not be as good as others, but patience must be better than others.

The other party did not find Dean hiding in the corner.

It's not that the other party is careless, but the place Dean chose, and this is the place that is most likely to be overlooked - because, at a glance, this place is just a pile of rocks.

As for the people hiding in it?

You can't find out until you come up close.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and when the agreed time came, the other party was not in a hurry, but waited quietly. Similarly, Dean, who was hiding in the dark, was even less anxious.

The two sides seemed to be more patient, one standing in the open and the other hiding in the dark.

The time exceeded ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes...

After an hour, the person standing in the open finally couldn't bear it any longer, and he shouted, Your Excellency, are you here?

Hoo hoo...

The sound of cold wind blowing quickly drowned out the words, as if no one had spoken at all.

Your Excellency, are you here?

The other party shouted again.

coming!

This time Dean answered, but when the other party heard it and hadn't responded, Dean said very quickly: Just stand there, don't move, don't turn around-I don't want a relationship between us. There will be misunderstandings, you must know... what you have, I also have!

Hearing Dean's pointed words, the other party's body froze, abruptly stopped the urge to turn around, and stood still and said: Your Excellency, I have always heard about your caution, but... we We need to confirm our respective identities!

Don't you think that's what you did first? Dean laughed in a low voice, Remember, I remind you again, I don't want to misunderstand... So, those probing methods are avoided. ——I can ask you out, which is enough to prove the reliability of my identity!

certainly!

The other party replied, and at the same time made some gestures.

And seeing these gestures, Dean sneered from the bottom of his heart—these gestures were gestures among Gao Sai's spies, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with them, which Dean himself could be sure of.

But, that's exactly the problem.

Although these gestures can be regarded as secret, they are definitely not top-secret. Some top dark forces know their meanings; and using such gestures that may be known to confirm their identity is obviously... This is a temptation.

In this regard, as a spy, there is nothing wrong with it.

As for Dean's previous words?

How can a person who believes in such words become a spy?

However, some necessary means are still necessary——

Click!

Whoosh!

With the sound of a spring, the arrow of the hand crossbow directly rubbed against the opponent's knee joint, and shot into the ground in front of the opponent. Even if it was hard frozen soil, it was more than half buried by the powerful arrow.

I hope this is the first and last time!

Dean's gloomy voice became more and more gloomy, expressing his displeasure.

Yes, Your Excellency!

The other party was not frightened. On the contrary, the conversation with Dean became a little more relaxed. Obviously, Dean's actions made the other party trust a little more.

And following the words, a copper Conqueror's coin appeared between the opponent's fingers, just like this, relying on the index finger and middle finger to hold it, and raised it to the position above the shoulder, allowing Dean to see it more clearly.

You can turn around now... but slowly... well, slow down, I don't want us to get into any trouble!

Seeing the copper King of Conquest coin between the opponent's fingers, Dean's heart moved, and immediately took out the gold King of Conqueror coin, and held it between his fingers so that the opponent who turned around could see it clearly.

Obviously, after seeing this coin, the other party was completely relaxed. He bent down, bowed to the person who was covering him tightly in front of him, and said: Xedong No. 1, I have seen you!

Ok!

Dean nodded calmly. At the same time, he reconsidered his words in his mind-although there was already a draft, it was not easy to find a suitable reason. Even Dean needed some 'reasons'. Otherwise, the spies would not have died in vain.

And just when Dean was about to persuade the other party with the excuse that Molde discovered his secret and must silence it which would lower his self-evaluation\

,"The spy code-named Cedar One suddenly said: The tax official in Tire town wants to join us!

Suddenly, Dean was taken aback.
